#58 - Monsters are coming! (Update 2)
Chapter 58: Monster Attack! (Second Update)
Actually.
Those who followed them might not necessarily harbor malicious intentions.
After all, Song Haitang and Zhao Zheng had made quite a name for themselves in the first level of the spirit realm!
These people followed them, perhaps simply wanting to observe their methods in the spirit realm, and learn if possible.
In modern terms, this is called the 'celebrity effect'.
As for why many transcendents felt that Zhao Zheng was a gold-digging pretty boy with little threat?
In reality, Zhao Zheng had obtained 350 spirit energy points. If he had added them all to his attributes, his total attributes would probably exceed most new transcendents.
The reason they felt Zhao Zheng was not a threat was because, in everyone's perception, the Kryptonian bloodline not only didn't increase attributes through training, but also had no offensive capabilities whatsoever!
Whether one has offensive capabilities, or the strength of those capabilities, makes a big difference to transcendents!
For example, is giving an ordinary person 350 points of strength the same as giving a werewolf 350 points of strength?
A werewolf could kill an ordinary person with a single swipe of its claws.
And the werewolf bloodline is not even ranked among the top transcendent abilities; it's only powerful in the early stages.
Many transcendent abilities greatly enhance combat power.
Like Song Haitang!
Her Blazing Flames ability could multiply the damage of her attributes, making her difficult for other newcomers to resist.
If the four basic attributes were the only way for transcendents to increase their strength,
then transcendent abilities were the foundation upon which transcendents relied to survive!
Having strength without transcendent means of attack greatly diminishes the threat.
Moreover.
Anyone who could obtain a B-grade mission rating in the first level of the spirit realm, coupled with regular training, wouldn't have a total attribute score that differed much from Zhao Zheng's.
With powerful transcendent abilities, killing Zhao Zheng would not be difficult at all!
Another important point.
Is that an ordinary person who obtained 350 spirit energy points couldn't simply add them all to strength, or a combination of strength and agility!
Great strength.
Requires a strong physique to support it.
Even the spirit energy points in the spirit realm must adhere to this basic fact.
After all, this is a real world.
Not a game!
To allow an ordinary body with only 10 points of constitution to unleash 350 times its strength in a single punch?
Is that possible?
It's more likely that the body would fall apart before the punch could even be thrown.
The constitution attribute, though seemingly inconspicuous among the four attributes, is an unavoidable attribute.
Regardless of which attribute is increased, the constitution attribute must be increased first.
...
For strength and constitution attributes, the minimum ratio must be maintained at around 50%.
That is to say, if you add 300 points of strength, you must first add 150 points of constitution!
Only in this way will your body not collapse when you unleash 30 times your strength.
...
The minimum ratio between agility and constitution attributes is 20%.
To have 300 points of agility, you need to have at least 60 points of constitution in advance.
This way, your body can withstand the strong wind resistance when running at 30 times the speed.
...
The ratio requirement between spirit and constitution attributes is the lowest, only 5%...
This is why everyone's constitution attribute also increases during training, whether they are training strength, agility, or spirit attributes.
According to this formula.
If Zhao Zheng wants to develop in the direction of strength, he can only increase a maximum of 233 points of strength, and the remaining 117 spirit energy points need to be added to constitution.
If Zhao Zheng wants to take the strength and agility route, then his offensive capabilities will be even weaker.
Overall.
How much of a threat does Zhao Zheng pose?
This is the real reason why many strong newcomers don't take Zhao Zheng seriously!
Of course, what these people don't know is that Zhao Zheng's true attributes far exceed their imagination, and are terrifyingly high...
...
More than ten minutes later.
Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang stood outside a relatively well-preserved building.
This was a relatively large mansion, covering an area of at least thousands of square meters, with a high courtyard wall surrounding it, and a tall and large gate.
A proper high-status family!
Presumably, the previous owner of this place was also a prominent figure in the city.
In addition, the terrain of this mansion was also the highest in the city, almost built on a large earthen slope.
Just standing at the gate.
One could have a panoramic view of most of the city.
"This place is not bad!" Zhao Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "Haitang, let's set up our base here tonight!"
"Are you sure?"
Song Haitang couldn't help but furrow her beautiful eyebrows: "Don't you think this place is like a conspicuous target?"
The highest point in the city, isn't that a conspicuous target?
Zhao Zheng didn't explain much, just smiled and said, "I definitely won't坑 you, just believe me this time."
Since he had said so, what else could Song Haitang say?
After all, she had even accepted his 'love token'!!
"Okay, I believe you."
Song Haitang said immediately.
Zhao Zheng then smiled: "It's getting late, let's go in!"
After speaking, he pushed open the gate and walked in.
Song Haitang followed with a calm expression.
Not far away.
A group of people, seeing Zhao Zheng and Song Haitang choose such a place as their base, were all stunned and puzzled.
Afterwards.
They dispersed slowly with different purposes.
...
After Zhao Zheng entered the mansion.
He took Song Haitang to tour all the corners of the mansion first.
This was to familiarize themselves with the environment.
To Zhao Zheng's surprise, there was actually a huge indoor 'martial arts arena' built on the north side of the mansion!
Like a solid bunker.
Moreover, there were many weapons displayed in the martial arts arena.
Swords, spears, sticks, and staves, everything!
"Good! This place is good!"
Zhao Zheng's expression became more and more satisfied.
"Haitang, do you want to choose a weapon?" he shouted at Song Haitang.
Song Haitang said: "My ability is fire, I can do it empty-handed, weapons will only become a burden."
Zhao Zheng nodded and went to choose a weapon himself.
However.
Those swords, spears, sticks, and staves were too light for him now...
Now Zhao Zheng's strength attribute has broken through six hundred, which is sixty times that of ordinary people.
The weapons here, one counts as one, are all too light and brittle for him.
After picking and choosing, only a pair of '擂鼓瓮金锤' (Leigu Weng Jin Hammers) could barely make him feel a little weight.
Each of this pair of Leigu Weng Jin Hammers weighed nearly 200 pounds, and a pair of them must weigh more than 350 pounds.
Even so heavy.
Zhao Zheng could still easily throw them around in his hands, like toys.
Seeing this scene, Song Haitang couldn't help but ask:
"Zhao Zheng, is the Kryptonian bloodline's talent ability strength-based?"
"No!"
Zhao Zheng smiled and said: "It's all-round!"
As soon as the voice fell.
A monster's howl suddenly came from the distance outside.
"Woo!!"
Zhao Zheng was stunned and immediately came to the outside of the martial arts arena with Song Haitang.
It turned out that it was already dark.
I know that there will definitely be大佬 (big shots) who will喷 (criticize) me for writing filler when this chapter is released...
It's just that there are too many大佬 (big shots) who raise questions, so I have to spend a chapter to explain it.
Forget it, just treat this chapter as not a normal update, and I will update another chapter for大佬 (big shots) during the day!
How is this sincerity?
