Chapter 67: A World of Ice and Fire

Chapter 67: A World of Ice and Fire

"…So shall we choose this building?"

"It has ample space and three emergency exits, enough for us to evade the zombie creatures…"

"Chen Ye, what do you think?"

In a small grove,

Tang Zichen was seeking Chen Ye's opinion.

Chen Ye seemed indifferent, smiling, "Captain, you make the decisions."

"No!" Tang Zichen looked earnestly at Chen Ye. "You have outstanding insight, discovering the weaknesses of the Level 1 Secret Realm monsters, which has already proven this. So, let you make the decision! I'll follow your lead."

Chen Ye was about to say something when Tang Zichen's phone suddenly rang.

She picked up the phone, surprised to see the caller ID.

"It's Teacher Liu."

Then,

Right in front of Chen Ye, she answered the call.

"Teacher Liu?"

"It's me, Tang Zichen. Are you not training right now?"

"No."

"The principal just contacted me. He hopes you could change your teammate for tomorrow's trip to the Level 2 Secret Realm. Is it still Chen Ye?"

"Yes, any issues?"

"Just now, the principal found me. He hopes you could change your teammate…"

Before Teacher Liu could finish, Tang Zichen interrupted, "No change!"

Her tone was firm and decisive.

Tang Zichen wasn't stupid!

Change teammates?

Who could possibly compare to Chen Ye?

Others might not understand Chen Ye's strengths, but could she not?

The outside world always thought Chen Ye was clinging to her for an easy life. In fact, it was the other way around. It was with Chen Ye's guidance that she could gain 150 potential points in the Level 1 Secret Realm.

Following Chen Ye allowed her to achieve the best results in the secret realm, thus becoming stronger.

If it weren't for Chen Ye's request for confidentiality, she would have clarified things for him long ago.

Without waiting for Teacher Liu to continue persuading, Tang Zichen added, "Teacher Liu, please convey to whoever suggested this that unless Chen Ye doesn't want me anymore, I'm sticking with him!"

Chen Ye: "…"

The way she said that,

Why did it feel like he was a scumbag?

On the other end of the phone, Teacher Liu was also left speechless. He couldn't bring himself to say anything more to persuade her.

He understood Tang Zichen and knew how stubborn she could be!

Since Tang Zichen could say such words, she must be determined and wouldn't change her mind again.

"Well then!" Teacher Liu sighed helplessly. "As long as you know what you're doing. I won't say more as your teacher…"

"Oh, by the way, remember to inform Chen Ye that someone has posted the video of his last strength test online. Many netizens are now mocking him… I blame myself for this. Chen Ye didn't want to test at the time, but I insisted. I will report this to the higher-ups and delete the video as soon as possible, while also holding the disseminator accountable!"

"When you return from the secret realm, I'll apologize to Chen Ye properly."

…

After Tang Zichen hung up the phone,

Chen Ye was somewhat speechless.

Why are there so many troubles?

Then, he took out his phone and indeed saw the video spreading everywhere.

Under almost every video, there were numerous netizens discussing:

"What the heck?? Adding all 130 points to physique? What kind of fancy move is this?"

"Because he's afraid of pain, so he added all potential to physique? Really fancy!"

"Haha, is this pretty boy trying to kill me with laughter, then inherit my sneakers?"

"He previously went to match C-level hero talent, which made him a national laughingstock. Finally managed to cling onto someone to gain potential points, and now, because he's afraid of pain, he's putting it all into physique? This young master Chen, is he here just to be funny?"

"Originally solid second-tier strength, directly turned into first tier, this move is truly fancy, bro, I admire you!"

"I also admire him, this guy's moves, always exceed my imagination!"

"Haha, I used to criticize him, but now, I suddenly want to be his fan, what's going on?"

"Upstairs +1, this guy really knows how to entertain, I'm too embarrassed to scold him."

"I'll follow out of respect, looking forward to the next fancy move from our little brother."

"Hard to believe, there's still someone so afraid of death? Even harder to understand is, my Tang Goddess, actually falling for this guy?"

"What's wrong with this person? He's at least first-tier, isn't he stronger than you?"

"Tomorrow is the opening of the second secret realm, right? I just want to know now, is Tang Goddess still going to team up with him?"

"No need to guess, for sure, I don't know what kind of aphrodisiac this kid gave to Tang Genius, actually willing to risk his life to cover for him last time."

"Don't do it! Tang Zichen is the next Ms. Qin, the hope of the country! Last time was lucky, can't mess up again this time, where are the leaders of Wu University? Hurry up and pay attention, stop them!"

...

Chen Ye glanced at it.

He found that the comments from netizens weren't as bad as expected, at most just teasing his fancy moves.

Moreover, quite a few netizens even expressed wanting to become his fans?

This was somewhat unexpected...

Of course, even if netizens really started criticizing, Chen Ye wouldn't care.

He had thick skin and high toxicity, he simply didn't care what netizens said.

More than netizens' teasing, what Chen Ye cared more about was who posted his test video online?

The video was obviously edited, showing only his entire testing process, clearly targeting him.

Not long after,

There was a new video that suddenly went viral, being crazily forwarded and spread by countless netizens.

This new video was still related to Chen Ye.

But it was his alter ego "Long Aotian"!

The content of the video was also testing.

The entire process of Long Aotian testing his strength.

It was quite explosive...

Just by looking at the comments from netizens, you could tell:

"What the heck! Where did this powerhouse come from?"

"A punch to burst the 4500-pound punching machine! Running a hundred meters in 1.3 seconds! Starting off even overturned the ground! Pressure resistance test reached 600MPA? This body is tougher than steel!"

"I suspect there's an ancient beast living inside this guy's body!"

"A fourth-tier strongman should be somewhat famous by now, right? This bigshot named Long Aotian, where did he come from? How come I've never heard of him?"

"The key is, he's so young! Looks like he's only around twenty years old, emerging as a peerless genius?"

"Compared to Captain Chen, this guy is truly dazzling."

"Don't compare that pretty boy to this bigshot, insulting the bigshot, don't you understand?"

"Although Captain Chen is my idol, I have to say, his little son, he's not even worthy to shine Long Aotian's shoes!"

"Each to their own, although this bigshot's strength is terrifying, his name... isn't it a bit too arrogant?"

"Isn't... anyone else find it strange? The video of testing strength shouldn't be spread online, how come today there are suddenly two?"

...

Seeing that many netizens were comparing him to his alter ego Long Aotian, Chen Ye's expression was quite strange.

I'm afraid these silly netizens couldn't even dream that the peerless genius they were talking about and the useless pretty boy were actually the same person, right?

Being teased on one side, being praised on the other...

Even Chen Ye couldn't describe his feelings right now.

Regarding Long Aotian's test video suddenly going viral,

Chen Ye also realized something was wrong.

Videos like these are only available within the Hero Association.

But two suddenly appeared online in a row!

Was there a loophole in the management of the Hero Association?

It didn't feel right...

"Chen Ye, why do I feel like this Long Aotian is a bit like you?" Tang Zichen's voice suddenly sounded.
