Chapter 224: Go Blow Up Their Headquarters!
Through Chen Ye's explanation, Tang Zichen finally understood that Devil Fruits were magical fruits capable of granting superpowers to those who consud them.
In the pirate world, there were nurous types of Devil Fruits.
"There's actually such a world? Wouldn't that an there are countless strong individuals in that world?"
"Yes, there are indeed many strong people, at least more than in our world."
"The fruit that lets you transform into a dragon—did you get it in Secret Realm No. 30?"
"Well... actually, here's the thing: when each of us passes through Secret Realm No. 30, we receive a special ability or item as a reward. Generally, the reward is connected to the world of the secret realm. This Azure Dragon Devil Fruit was actually obtained by Captain Qin as a reward, and she gifted it to ."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ye noticed a subtle change in Tang Zichen's expression.
She didn't act unreasonably, instead calmly remarking, "Sothing so valuable, and she was willing to give it to you? It seems this Captain Qin is quite generous!"
Chen Ye found this amusing internally but outwardly played it cool, agreeing, "That's right. Captain Qin is indeed a good person."
Hearing this, Tang Zichen's expression dimd slightly, and she couldn't help but say, "When I pass through Secret Realm No. 30, I'll give you whatever reward I get."
This girl was clearly easy to tease.
Chen Ye decided not to tease her further.
"Actually, this Azure Dragon Fruit was useless to Captain Qin. Its power requires a user with imnse physical strength to unlock its potential. Captain Qin, like you, excels in ntal attributes. Additionally, the dragon's breath is an extrely high-temperature fla, which requires a fire-based superpower to wield properly."
"Currently, I'm the only person in the country with a fire-based superpower."
"Compared to Captain Qin, this Devil Fruit is clearly more suitable for ."
"Also, as I've ntioned before, there's a possibility that the Universal Overlords may invade our world. Captain Qin hopes that if such a ti cos and there's no one else to stand up, I'll be able to help the Xia Kingdom and, at the very least, save so of our people."
Hearing this, Tang Zichen's expression softened significantly.
Then, she asked, "But... shouldn't such abilities be kept as a trump card? Why would you expose it online?"
Chen Ye patiently explained, "Because of the news about the Universal Overlords, the authorities took certain asures that caused a rise in the price of so resources, sparking public panic. Captain Qin suggested I perform in my Azure Dragon form to boost morale and restore confidence among the people."
Tang Zichen suddenly understood.
"So that's the reason... It makes sense. I've seen comnts online, and many people are thrilled by the appearance of the Azure Dragon. There's far less negativity now."
"Chen Ye, you're amazing!"
As she said this, her bright eyes fixed on Chen Ye. Then, she suddenly said, "I want to know what it feels like to ride on the Azure Dragon. Chen Ye, can you let try?"
Goodness! Here we go again.
What's with you girls and always wanting to ride ?
"Of course, no problem!"
How could Chen Ye refuse when a girl made such a request? Besides, he could tell that Tang Zichen's sudden request likely had an ulterior motive—to compete with Qin Muyin.
"Whenever you want, I can make it happen!" Chen Ye replied earnestly.
Tang Zichen: "..."
Why does that sound so strange?
"Then tonight!"
Tang Zichen said, "At ten o'clock, I'll wait for you by the pavilion near the artificial lake at school."
Chen Ye was taken aback. "That soon?"
"Mm..."
"Alright! See you tonight!"
...
"Chen Ye, does transforming into the Azure Dragon drain your energy a lot?" Tang Zichen suddenly asked.
Chen Ye replied, "Not much. With my current stamina, if it's just flying with you in my Azure Dragon form, I can fly for days without feeling tired."
"That's good!" Tang Zichen said. "I want you to take on a trip to the Western countries."
"Oh? You want to see the scenery there?"
"No..."
Tang Zichen didn't elaborate. She picked up the tablet on the table, fiddled with it for a mont, and then handed it to Chen Ye. "Take a look at this."
Chen Ye glanced at the screen.
The tablet displayed an international news site with articles in English. Fortunately, there were translations on the side.
"Protected by a Mythical Dragon? A Ridiculous Lie!"
"The Dragon Video Was Edited—A Complete Hoax!"
"The Flimsy Dragon Hoax Reveals the Unprecedented Crisis in the Eastern Power."
These were headlines from prominent foreign dia outlets, published recently.
Chen Ye skimd through a few.
He remained calm about the sars from foreign dia—he was used to this.
His previous life on Earth had been the sa.
"Class leader, you want to take you to Western countries just to prove my existence and slap these dia outlets in the face?"
"Exactly!" Tang Zichen nodded seriously.
Chen Ye imdiately laughed. "Let them say whatever they want. Why bother arguing with these people?"
"But their nonsense is already affecting us..."
Tang Zichen then explained the situation.
It turned out that the video of Chen Ye transforming into his Azure Dragon form had gone viral internationally, causing a stir and leading to a series of unexpected consequences.
Foreign netizens, after expressing envy toward the Xia Kingdom, began furiously criticizing their own governnts.
In the words of those foreign netizens: Why did the dragon choose to protect an Eastern country but not Western ones? It must be because your corrupt politicians did sothing so despicable that the dragon despises you!
Yes, that was the logic of those foreign netizens.
Absurd as it sounded, the sentint gained widespread support.
So much so that groups of citizens began staging sit-ins outside governnt buildings, even the Black House in Arica wasn't spared.
The demand from foreign netizens was clear: they, too, wanted the dragon's protection!
Of course, the politicians couldn't conjure a dragon to safeguard their nations, so they had no choice but to instruct the dia to discredit the video, claiming it was fake.
While anyone knowledgeable could tell the video was authentic and unedited, the majority of foreign netizens lacked the expertise to discern whether it was real or computer-generated.
With so many dia outlets insisting it was fake, a significant number of people believed the lies.
This was to be expected.
After all, the appearance of a dragon, especially one willing to protect humanity, was so fantastical that it was hard to accept as reality.
Initially, this was just a foreign issue.
Unfortunately, dostic trolls began reposting the foreign headlines, claiming the video was fake as well.
Even with military backing, so dostic netizens started to waver.
"These people are awful! They refuse to face the truth and still spread lies!"
Tang Zichen frowned, clearly upset.
Of course, her anger stemd from seeing others slander Chen Ye.
"Class Leader, don't get angry!"
Chen Ye, on the other hand, was unfazed and said with a smile, "Tonight, I'll take you there and slap their faces directly!"
"Alright!"
Tang Zichen said, "I've calculated everything. We'll et at ten tonight, then set off. With the ti difference, we'll arrive there during their dayti."
Chen Ye suddenly understood.
No wonder she wanted to et at ten.
Tang Zichen added, "I've already found the addresses of the headquarters for those fake news outlets. Once we're there, let's blow up their headquarters!"
666!
Chen Ye found himself wholeheartedly agreeing with her suggestion.
...
After staying in Tang Zichen's dorm for a while, Chen Ye left.
He completed his training for the day and took a nap back in his dorm room...
By ten that evening, the two of them snuck out and t by the artificial lake at school.
"Class Leader, you weren't spotted, were you?"
"Don't worry! I wasn't. None of their movents can escape my perception."
Hearing this, Chen Ye knew she wasn't bluffing.
With his current ntal attributes, his perception abilities were already remarkable.
Tang Zichen's ntal attributes were even stronger than his.
"We'll leave the school first and find a secluded spot for to transform," Chen Ye said.
Tang Zichen nodded but suddenly noticed the bundle Chen Ye was carrying. "What's in the bag?" she asked.
"Oh, just a change of clothes."
"For ? I don't need it. My telekinetic shield blocks the wind."
"No... it's for ."
"You? Why would you need clothes?"
"Because when I transform into my Azure Dragon form, I'll tear through whatever I'm wearing."
Hearing this, Tang Zichen's eyes glinted as she stared intently at Chen Ye. "It seems you've had quite a bit of experience with this, huh?"
Chen Ye felt a mont of panic under her gaze.
He had forgotten how clever she was. She had probably pieced sothing together.
Fortunately, Chen Ye was quick on his feet and said with a straight face, "Isn't it obvious? My Azure Dragon form is several hundred ters long! Human clothes are far too small."
Tang Zichen didn't press further but offered a suggestion. "So every ti you transform, you ruin a set of clothes? That's wasteful. Why not just take them off before transforming and put them back on afterward?"
Chen Ye had thought of that before and laughed. "Class Leader, you're really smart! But it doesn't hurt to have a backup. Besides clothes, I've also packed so snacks for you to eat on the way."
Hearing this, Tang Zichen smiled warmly.
This small gesture of thoughtfulness made her feel deeply cared for.
Soon after, the two of them discreetly left the school without alerting anyone.
A short while later, they arrived at a forested area on the outskirts of town—the sa place where Chen Ye had previously killed the rman monster.
The location was deserted and far enough from the city, making it the perfect spot for Chen Ye to transform.
