The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 155 Ultimate Weapons

"Watch out, dodge!"

"You stopped? Why hold onto this pointless and subconscious pity? I can take a punch harder than this."

"Don't block your view while protecting your head!"

"It's not that you have to be completely silent during a fight, but could you please remember to keep moving when you open your mouth, instead of just standing there like a target?"

Shazam quickly raised his arm, covered his swollen eyes with his other hand, and shouted.

"etc!"

Li Zhen braked suddenly, hovering more than three meters above the surface of the ice sheet, her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong?"

With a dry mouth, Shazam swallowed hard and then asked loudly.

Is it possible that when I stop talking, it means I want a halftime break?

Li Zhen was quite dissatisfied. At first, he thought Shazam was trying to slack off, but when he turned his gaze to what was not far behind Shazam—

When Superman appeared, the latter let out a sudden sigh of relief and then fell backward with a thud.

Shazam made a gesture toward Lee Jung that resembled the "appearance of an important item that will influence the course of the plot" from a classic American animated film.

He was lying on his side, his left and right arms outstretched as if making a dash, his mouth facing Superman lying on the ice in the distance.

"You see, even Superman is exhausted from all this."

Li Zhen stared at Superman speechlessly for a while before finally landing from mid-air.

"What's going on? Neither of us drew blood; we held back the whole time."

Shazam covered his eyes in a state of near collapse, his voice trembling.

"Brother, you can't just do whatever you want because you can't see time on Europa!"

Superman, lying in the distance, nodded in agreement and raised an arm, waving it.

"I used biofield timing, and we have been training for Earth time for more than seven hours."

Then Superman's arm slammed down again, sending ice dust flying.

is it?

Li Zhen initially looked somewhat disdainful.

He wanted to cite his past experiences as examples, such as on Witrum, where, in order to cultivate the future independent warriors' ability to remain hidden and fight, they often had to undergo special training that pushed them to their physical limits.

The training time will increase with the corresponding measurement data. As a race with super endurance, the longest extreme training that Li Zhen has ever received lasted for six months.

Of course, this is a privilege reserved for top students. They are exiled to a planet with a very harsh environment and must master the skills to replenish their energy during a long and seemingly endless battle.

His super endurance can only sustain him for two months without food or water, otherwise he will starve to death.

Looking back on that time, to sum it up in the simplest terms, it was all about eating raw and unrefined food without any inhibitions.

The desolate beasts that inhabited that planet had no concept of restraint. They regarded Li Zhen, who had landed on that planet, as prey, and he was ambushed and injured within the first hour of setting foot on that damned planet.

For six months, old wounds healed only to fester again, while new wounds kept appearing. The intense battles and constant hiding had stained every inch of that not-so-large planet with blood.

Of course, this special training program was canceled after only four runs.

Initially, Trigger wanted to train a group of elite Witrum subordinates capable of extreme combat, but after discovering that this special training mode had an extremely high mortality rate, he quickly ordered its abolition.

He was one of the few survivors from Li Zhen's batch who made it through this special training.

No one needs to explain himself to him, and no one will even say a word of praise to him.

The instructor simply sent the restored training plan to Li Zhen, who was lying in the nutrient tank, exhausted both physically and mentally, and then left, telling him that he could rest in there for a maximum of ten more minutes before leaving.

After all, it was a civil war.

"Okay, I guess it was my oversight."

Li Zhen's pupils gradually shrank back from her memories.

After careful consideration, he realized that Superman and Shazam were just superheroes, not biological weapons developed to deal with wartime.

Shazam barely managed to keep from falling by supporting his knees, not because he had more stamina than Superman, but because Superman had withstood most of Lee Jung's firepower over the past seven hours.

Lee Jung's thinking was simple: Superman is stronger than Shazam, so he is more worth training.

Without realizing it, I ended up giving them special attention.

Classic Dimensional Mindset Plus Dimensional Training Method.

Shazam straightened up, hands on his hips, and looked at Lee Jung, who was standing there in a daze, and clicked his tongue.

"Dude, why do you look a little anxious?"

Li Zhen snapped out of her daze, glanced at Shazam who was standing still, twisting his waist and hips to stretch his body, and raised her hand to touch her cheek.

anxiety?

That's perfectly normal.

Despite Lee Jung's desire to live in seclusion, problems always seem to arise from unexpected places in this world.

If he were just an ordinary person, at worst he would die suddenly one day in some major event with far-reaching consequences, completely unaware of what was happening.

But he just happens to be a Void alien.

The power he possesses means there are certain things he cannot avoid.

Retreat into seclusion? Lie down and do nothing?

Li Zhen had realized that even if he did nothing from the beginning and hid away like Tom, the crime syndicate incident would drag him into it within a few months.

Superpower will rule the world and establish a new regime. It will block out the sun and synthesize a large amount of Kryptonite. If Superpower accumulates enough power over time, it might one day come knocking on Li Zhen's door just by listening to her heartbeat.

As a superhuman with combat power comparable to Wonder Woman at the time, Superman would undoubtedly force the reclusive Lee Jung to choose sides immediately.

Li Zhen looked at Shazam, and although he didn't intend to say much, he still gave a brief explanation.

"Perhaps I started to feel anxious the moment I watched emperors walk toward their deaths."

"Why do you think I agreed to be Batman's instructor for those Teen Titans?"

Shazam seemed surprised that Li Zhen was suddenly going to take his stance seriously, and asked a question in a daze.

"Isn't it all about the salary?"

"—That's only a small part of the reason, Shazam. Imagine one day you find that you've misjudged the power you're capable of using."

"In a certain crisis, no one else was by your side. Regardless of the specific reasons behind it, when it came time for you to step up, you didn't lack the courage to rival Achilles. Yet, you rushed in and were defeated with a single punch."

"For example, in the last Superman incident, you had your spine broken and could only lie helplessly on the ground, waiting for it to heal itself. During this time, you watched helplessly as Superman, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman died one after another at the hands of Superman."

Even if Superba is eventually driven out, can you still continue to be so carefree and happy?

Finally, Li Zhen pointed to herself.

"I witnessed firsthand how powerful the emperor was, and then he died at the hands of an even stronger being. But when we parted, he clearly told me that I had the opportunity to become stronger than him."

"That guy who killed the emperor, or whatever other nonsense, they'll all come into this world someday. But how much time do I have left to surpass the emperor?"

"I'm not worried about the world. Honestly, if I see a crisis with my own eyes, I can always choose to escape into space and wander around."

"But what if you can't see it?"

"What if one day I suddenly wake up like an emperor and find that I have missed hundreds of years that can never be recovered—"

Superman, who was not far away, sat up and observed Li Zhen's mental state with some concern.

"That's pessimism; you're assuming tomorrow will definitely be bad."

Li Zhen chuckled and didn't continue the topic.

That's the crux of the problem: he knows that the future of this universe is most likely really bad.

Everything was terrible.

Li Zhen slowly rose up, leaving the solid ice beneath her feet.

"That concludes today's training. We'll notify you of the next scheduled time later."
