Chapter 79 Martial Arts Tournament! (Seeking Follow-up Reads)
Zhao Zheng returned to his apartment.
As he was about to open the door, the neighbor across the hall suddenly opened theirs.
Zhao Zheng subconsciously turned his head and saw a woman sizing him up.
This woman was probably around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, very beautiful, with a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes.
Most importantly, the woman had a very hot figure!
With a slender waist and long legs, her headlights were almost bursting out, her clothes looked like they were about to explode...
Seeing this woman, Zhao Zheng was stunned for a moment.
He didn't remember having such a neighbor living across the hall.
"You're Zhao Zheng?"
The woman spoke first.
Her voice sounded very lazy, which, combined with her fiery figure, made her even more alluring.
Faced with the woman's question, Zhao Zheng didn't even think and directly denied it: "Sorry, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Zhao Zheng."
Suddenly appearing, a great beauty called out his name, and Zhao Zheng's instinct was to be wary.
He wasn't some lust-driven idiot.
Moreover, constantly seeing Song Haitang's fairy-like face had made him somewhat immune to most beauties.
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, the woman across the hall revealed a bright smile.
"Little brother, you're quite cautious! Not bad, keep it up!"
"Let me formally introduce myself, I come from the Zodiac Bureau. I received orders from above to protect you... This is my ID."
As the woman spoke, she flashed her ID.
Zhao Zheng glanced at the contents of the ID.
[Zodiac Bureau, Serpent Squad: Qin Muyin!]
Seeing the national emblem on the ID, Zhao Zheng was already somewhat convinced.
He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately revealed a smile: "So you're an expert from the Zodiac Bureau, my respects, my respects. I wonder what Sister Qin needs me to do?"
Qin Muyin smiled and handed Zhao Zheng a small black box with a button on it.
"Usually, you don't need to do anything. Just press this alarm button when you discover someone invading your home, and I will appear in time to save you."
"Okay!"
Zhao Zheng agreed readily, took the small black box, and then said: "Sister Qin, if there's nothing else, I'll go back inside."
"Okay! Go ahead!"
As soon as Qin Muyin finished speaking, Zhao Zheng quickly went inside and closed the door.
Seeing this scene, Qin Muyin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and returned to her room as well.
...
Inside the room.
Zhao Zheng placed the small black box in the drawer of the cabinet by the door.
He didn't know if this thing had any surveillance or listening functions, but in short, he definitely had to be careful at home from now on, and not say things he shouldn't.
Otherwise, everything would remain the same.
Afterward, Zhao Zheng took off his shoes and went to the computer desk.
The apartment he bought was a one-bedroom apartment, about forty square meters. It was a bit small, but it was definitely comfortable for one person to live in.
Turning on the computer, Zhao Zheng began searching for "Zodiac Bureau."
There wasn't much information about the Zodiac Bureau online. He searched for a long time and could only get a general understanding.
The Zodiac Bureau only took orders from the central government. It didn't have many personnel, but it had a lot of power. As long as a transcedent committed a crime, they could handle it. It was a powerful institution with special privileges!
In addition, the Zodiac Bureau had strict requirements for recruiting personnel. It not only needed transcendent people who were politically reliable, but strength was also an important criterion. Only the strong could enter!
The Zodiac Bureau had a total of twelve squads, corresponding to the twelve zodiac signs, and each squad had different tasks.
Zhao Zheng couldn't find out what specific functions they had.
This department was named after the "Zodiac", and its purpose was to protect!
To protect Xia Country!
It was rumored that the director of the Zodiac Bureau was one of the top powerhouses in Xia Country.
The higher-ups were willing to send a powerhouse from the Zodiac Bureau to protect Zhao Zheng, which showed their sincerity.
But...
"Sending such a beautiful woman to protect me? Are they deliberately trying to tempt me to make mistakes?"
"Maybe as soon as I show a little bit of interest, someone will immediately go to Song Haitang's side to pass on the message, causing Song Haitang to feel estranged from me, and ultimately break us up?"
Zhao Zheng thought secretly.
Although these were all his guesses, without any evidence.
However, he felt that Qin Muyin's appearance here had this intention.
Perhaps this wasn't the idea of the higher-ups, but someone in the middle was acting on their own initiative, wanting to tempt him to make mistakes, using a beauty trap to break up him and Song Haitang.
It would be fine if he didn't fall for it.
It would be even better if he did!
Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng revealed a disdainful smile.
Did they really think of him as a naive fool?
...
The next morning.
Zhao Zheng arrived at school on time, ready to attend class.
This was Old Chu's strong request.
Yesterday, Old Chu sent several messages in the Class B group, requiring everyone to be there today.
Because he was going to help everyone reorganize their teams.
It seemed that the third level of the spirit realm was a multi-person team mode...
"Ding-ling-ling—"
As soon as the class bell rang, Old Chu walked into the classroom.
"Good morning, students!"
Old Chu scanned the classroom and said with a smile: "Today we are going to talk about the content of the third level of the spirit realm."
"In fact, there is nothing much to talk about regarding the third level of the spirit realm, because it is an amnesiac spirit realm!"
"The information currently available is that the content of the third level of the spirit realm is a martial arts tournament, and it is a multi-person team mode, with a maximum of ten people in a team."
Hearing this.
The students were all surprised.
Immediately, many students raised their hands to ask questions:
"Teacher, since it is an amnesiac spirit realm, how do we know that the content of the spirit realm is a martial arts tournament?"
"Yes! Last time in the first level of the amnesiac spirit realm, we didn't remember anything that happened in the spirit realm at all. We went in as we were, and came out as we were."
Regarding the students' questions, Old Chu smiled and then gave an explanation:
"The reason we know this is because a long time ago, a team in the third level of the spirit realm obtained an S-level mission rating for the first time, and the spirit realm issued an announcement!"
"In the content of the announcement, there were the words 'martial arts tournament'."
The students suddenly understood!
Old Chu added: "Regarding the third level of the spirit realm, many experts speculate that it is likely a martial arts tournament between you freshmen..."
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Zhao Zheng.
Including Old Chu, who also looked at Zhao Zheng.
It wasn't because Zhao Zheng was so powerful!
In fact, although Zhao Zheng's image had improved in everyone's eyes because of Song Haitang, no one still thought that he was among the first tier of "strong people" among the freshmen!
Everyone was looking at him.
It was because he had a super powerful partner: Song Haitang!
With two consecutive SSS-level mission ratings, a full 700 spirit energy points, plus the attributes that Song Haitang usually increased through her own training...
Song Haitang's total attributes could definitely successfully break through 1,000 before the arrival of the third level of the spirit realm!
That was breaking through 1,000 attributes!
Many transcendent people with ordinary talent may not be able to obtain it in their entire lives.
Song Haitang was now officially recognized as the number one freshman!!
If the third level of the spirit realm was really a martial arts tournament.
Then wasn't Song Haitang's strength the predetermined champion?
