Chapter 178 Shazam's Progress

Shazam suddenly turned around.

"Children, you'll probably have to wait a little while. There are some adult issues to deal with right now."

Shazam then looked at Lee Jung again, his aura no less imposing as he retorted.

"Shall we talk outside?"

Li Zhen's gaze remained cold and fixed on Shazam. After three seconds, she turned and walked outside.

Shazam followed immediately, and as he passed the other teenage Titans, he even flexed his biceps at them.

He grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, his face radiating unparalleled confidence and charisma.

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon."

Everyone watched as Li Zhen and Shazam left the training ground. A moment later, a group of people crowded around the window of the training area.

Tim spoke first.

"Everyone, you can place your bets now. I'm betting on the instructor to win, odds are 8 to 1."

Everyone was shocked, looking at Tim with expressions of disbelief, but a few seconds later a group of people began to open their wallets.

Apart from Mal, who remained completely indifferent and didn't respond, everyone else had staked some of their pocket money.

Just as Tim finished quickly recording the accounts, he could see two figures flying into the sky one after the other outside the window.

Considering that he didn't need to be too ruthless, Li Zhen stopped flying at an altitude of about 4,000 meters.

He stood in the air, turned around, and watched as Shazam, with an imposing aura, flew towards him.

After the latter steadied himself, he glanced down briefly, then his expression immediately returned to its usual playful grin.

"Buddy, I know you need to establish your authority in front of those kids on the first day, and I fully support you. Let's put on a show later, and I'll narrowly lose to you, since you're the nominal one now—"

As Shazam was speaking, he suddenly realized that Li Zhen's face showed no change in expression; she remained as cold as ever.

His voice grew softer and softer until he finally fell silent for a while.

Shazam felt a chill run down his spine.

"Um, so we're just going through the motions here? Right?"

After hearing this, Li Zhen finally smiled.

His gaze remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a smile that instantly sent chills down Shazam's spine.

"Don't worry, I just want to check the results of your previous training."

"Haha, I see."

Shazam gave an awkward laugh, his eyes darting around.

The air exploded instantly, and the red figure turned to run away, but a strong hand pressed down on his shoulder before he could react.

Using her force field and her Vitrum's ability to create force points out of thin air, Lee Jung completely neutralized Shazam's flight energy over a displacement distance of one meter.

To the naked eye, it appeared as if the two had simply teleported a short distance in the air.

However, an invisible shockwave spread out, creating a thunderous sound thousands of meters in the air.

Shazam froze, instinctively twisting his body to try to break free, but Li Zhen's hand remained motionless. The next second, a sharp straight punch slammed into Shazam's abdomen.

"Hmm!"

Shazam grunted, a trickle of blood instantly spilling from the corner of his mouth, his body flying backward like a cannonball.

Before he could regain his footing, Li Zhen had already teleported in front of him, her elbow slamming heavily into his jaw, the crisp sound of bones cracking accompanied by Shazam's cry of pain.

Shazam's head snapped back, his arms and legs flailing wildly in the air, his eyes filled with panic.

"Wait, buddy! I was wrong! Forget about all the things we've been through together!"

Seeing out of the corner of his eye that Li Zhen was chasing after him and about to strike again, Shazam quickly shouted.

To be fair, Li Zhen did hesitate for a moment.

To his surprise, Shazam actually resorted to trickery for the first time.

Taking advantage of Li Zhen's brief pause of less than a fraction of a second, Shazam, whose face still showed a look of panic, actually shouted out the incantation in a vicious tone.

"Shazam!"

Already high in the sky, a magical lightning dragon, resembling a winding mountain range, suddenly appeared in the surrounding clouds, biting and swallowing Li Zhen whole.

Seeing Li Zhen's figure obscured by dazzling lightning, Shazam immediately activated the remaining magical power within him, attempting to escape from this high altitude.

He suddenly turned to the side, unleashing a powerful thrust from his feet, and sped away into the distance, leaving a red afterimage behind him.

But he had only flown less than a thousand meters when Li Zhen's figure had somehow broken free from the magical lightning and appeared behind him like a ghost. She grabbed his shawl, pulled him back hard, and then delivered a heavy punch to his back.

"Bang""

A dull thud exploded high in the sky. Shazam felt as if his internal organs were about to be shattered, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, leaving a trail of blood mist in the air.

Fists rained down on him like machine guns, causing him excruciating pain all over his body, and his once dazzling white shawl became tattered and torn.

But Li Zhen's face no longer had that terrifying coldness from before; instead, it even had a smile on it.

Because Shazam has indeed improved.

The sudden, almost all-out lightning strike that caught everyone off guard contained magical energy that was converted into high temperatures, which combined with the paralysis and heat inherent in lightning to cause damage.

Although Li Zhen's body surface appeared to be only slightly red and burning, her battle suit was mostly carbonized by the astonishing temperature just now.

Even his hair and eyebrows were emitting blue smoke.

In other words, Shazam's strategy and tactics actually caused Li Zhen to lose health, albeit not by much, but something the Shazam of the past would never have been able to do.

"You've improved! You've really impressed me!"

Li Zhen became more and more excited as the fight progressed. Facing Shazam, who was weakened after launching an attack with almost all of his magic power drained in one go, her fighting spirit grew even stronger.

He grabbed Shazam's hair, pulled Shazam, whose eye was already swollen and red, in front of him, and stared at him.

Shazam, half-dead, gave a weak laugh.

"How was it? During the special training, you always said that I couldn't even give you the slightest bit of stimulation."

Shazam raised his hand and weakly punched Li Zhen in the chest.

"How did that feel?"

"It's great, it made my heart race, you gave me an unexpected surprise."

While praising her, Li Zhen raised her fist again.

"You'll be a formidable opponent in the future. As long as you maintain this fighting spirit, I can suppress my strength and fight you again next time!"

Inside the training area on the seventh floor of Titan Tower, the young Titans clung tightly to the windows, their eyes wide, their faces filled with shock—

惊。

The roaring sounds from the sky rose and fell, causing the windows to tremble slightly.

Suddenly, a dazzling bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the entire area as if it were daytime. The light was so blinding that the group of young Titans were momentarily blinded.

Several people who were not wearing goggles even covered their eyes and screamed as they crouched down.

"My God—that's Shazam's magical lightning?!"

Tim's eyes widened, and he almost dropped the ledger in his hand.

There's no need to use any machines to measure it; just based on the scale of that instant that illuminated the entire world in a deep blue, it definitely surpasses any previous record of Shazam's lightning summoning output power.

The tremors in the sky gradually subsided.

The boys held their breath, staring intently at the sky. They saw a red figure, like a broken-winged eagle, plummeting straight to the ground amidst a shower of blood.

Just a second before Shazam was about to crash heavily onto the plaza in front of Titan Tower, a figure instantly caught up with him.

Li Zhen reached out with one hand and steadily caught the unconscious Shazam.

A
