Wei Zitong observed and found that Jace was right. Most of the areas here could be cleared solo. The opponents looked strong, with most of them being third-generation Super Soldiers, but everyone who entered here, except for him and Lena, had received enhancements during gene adaptation.
Wei Zitong himself had failed gene adaptation, and due to insufficient permissions, he couldn't be enhanced even after fusing with the Void Engine. Lena, on the other hand, was already a semi-sealed Divine Body, and further enhancement would make her invincible.
The opponent in Area 6, corresponding to Wuji Yi, was also a third-generation Super Soldier, matching an ancient sword saint from Wuji Yi's side. It was similar to Zhao Xin encountering Zhao Zilong.
Wei Zitong wasn't very familiar with the mythology on Wuji Yi's side and didn't know anything about this so-called sword saint. Anyway, Wuji Yi was excitedly babbling, and upon testing, it turned out to be the same old routine as Zhao Xin's opponents.
He was initially beaten badly, but soon, the enhanced parts of Wuji Yi's power were triggered. The two fought fiercely, exchanging flashy sword techniques that bloomed like a bouquet of flowers, dazzling Rui Mengmeng, who kept exclaiming in admiration!
Wei Zitong and Lena, however, found it rather dull. After dealing with a group of first-generation grunts, they pulled the reluctant Rui Mengmeng away from Area 6.
Time was pressing, and both Wei Zitong and Lena could feel it. Lena's Area 7 was the biggest challenge of the day, possibly even harder than Wei Zitong's Area 2. After all, Lena was a Divine Body, and if it were too easy, with her steamrolling through it, it wouldn't be interesting!
Upon entering Area 7, Wei Zitong and Rui Mengmeng were immediately stunned by the magnificent palace before them!
How much money did this take? Each pillar was as thick as ten people could embrace, and the winding dragon and phoenix carvings stretched all the way to the hundred-meter-high dome. On the hundreds of golden steps, guards stood at every five steps, ten steps a post, like ancient imperial guards clad in shining armor. At the top of the high steps stood a massive dragon throne, and seated on it was a burly Golden Armored General!
Lena's expression had been grim since entering the palace. Wei Zitong and Rui Mengmeng didn't know where they were, but how could she not? She had lived here for twenty-four years and was all too familiar with this place!
That's right, this was the main hall of the Lieyang Imperial Palace, the place where her subjects paid homage to her!
She didn't recognize the Golden Armored General on the dragon throne, but he clearly looked hostile. If Pan Zhen were sitting there, she would suspect the Super Seminary of deliberately provoking her relationship with the guardian god of Lieyang!
"Unrelated personnel, withdraw!" the Golden Armored General said indifferently. "This is a ritual specifically for tempering our Divine Emperor Lena!"
"Go to hell with your ritual! Since you know I'm your goddess, why aren't you getting off that throne for this goddess?" Lena finally exploded, condensing a micro-solar flare and preparing to throw it!
However, the solar flare extinguished as soon as it left her palm, leaving her in a state of shock.
"Hmph!" The Golden Armored General tapped the low table beside the dragon throne, then stood up, saying with a mocking expression, "Emperor Lena, don't you know that the Lieyang Imperial Palace has a barrier specifically designed to suppress stellar drives? You haven't passed the tempering yet, so you're not my goddess. You want this general to get off this seat? Very well, defeat me!" He then contemptuously beckoned Lena with his finger.
Lena was so angry her lungs were about to explode. She lunged forward, snatched a spear from a soldier, and hurled it directly at him!
The Golden Armored General casually raised his hand to catch the spear, tilted his head dismissively, and with his other hand, exerted force, snapping off the spearhead. Then, with lightning speed, he threw it back!
The speed was too fast!
Wei Zitong only had time to shout "Careful!" before Lena, spitting blood, was sent flying backward, crashing heavily against a golden pillar. The entire hall echoed with the deafening roar...
"Lena!"
"Sister Na!"
Wei Zitong and Rui Mengmeng exclaimed in unison!
Wei Zitong was faster, diving forward and arriving in front of Lena, who was lying against the pillar and vomiting blood. He asked with concern, "Are you okay? Where are you hurt? Do you have enough energy to recover?"
"Unrelated personnel, withdraw!" the Golden Armored General roared sternly. "Guards!"
"Roar!"
All the soldiers who had been standing still like statues let out a unified shout, raising their spears and advancing, surrounding Wei Zitong and Rui Mengmeng. Rui Mengmeng held her sword, looking around vigilantly, panicked!
"You damn— Don't you dare speak!" Wei Zitong turned and glared at the Golden Armored General, his expression somewhat ferocious!
The Golden Armored General was taken aback, but after a moment, he sneered and said leisurely, "Quite a good ability, but your calculation speed is too poor. You won't last even a second against the Heavenly Dao Tower!"
Wei Zitong immediately felt a wave of dizziness, his internal energy instantly drained, almost causing him to collapse to the ground!
Seeing Wei Zitong's concern, Lena smiled, a particularly sweet smile. She wrapped her arms around Wei Zitong's neck and gave him another passionate kiss.
The Golden Armored General's eyes nearly bulged out as he roared, "Emperor Lena, do you know what you're doing?"
Lena reluctantly pulled away from Wei Zitong's lips, turned to the Golden Armored General with a smile, and said, "I do. I... no, I, the true master of this palace, you have no right to interrupt!"
"Good, very good!" The Golden Armored General nodded repeatedly with a cold smile. "Then show your strength and prove you deserve the title you just claimed!"
"I will show you!" Lena struggled to get up, turned to look at Wei Zitong affectionately, and said, "But before that, I'll send a few friends out first!"
"No, Lena, you need me!" Wei Zitong shook his head repeatedly.
"No, listen to me!" Lena reached out and gently placed her hand on Wei Zitong's lips, saying softly, "You can't compete with the Heavenly Dao Tower in calculation speed, you'll die. Go help Mengmeng first..."
"Dying here isn't real death..." Wei Zitong still refused to give up.
"Listen!" Lena's words, now incredibly gentle, seemed to possess magic, instantly calming Wei Zitong. She continued, "We can't waste too much energy here. Besides, if this were reality, that person's ability would be above my guardian god Pan Zhen. He wouldn't go all out, and he wouldn't dare kill me!"
"I understand!" Wei Zitong lowered his head, and when he looked up again, his eyes had become resolute. "Be careful yourself!"
"Don't worry!" Lena's usual domineering personality returned. "As long as this goddess is here, nothing is impossible!"
Wei Zitong nodded, called out to Rui Mengmeng, and walked directly out of the hall, not looking back!
Lena watched the retreating figure, lost in thought for a moment. Seeing Rui Mengmeng looking back with concern, she smiled to reassure her.
Once the figures were out of sight and the hall doors were closed again by the guards, Lena's gentle expression gradually faded, replaced by determination and coldness. She had truly transformed from an immature girl into an empress!
She turned to the Golden Armored General in the hall and said coldly, "Come on!"
"Brother Zitong, are we really not going to help Sister Na?" Rui Mengmeng finally asked hesitantly after leaving Area 7. "That Golden Armored General looks very powerful!"
Wei Zitong let out a long sigh, looked down at his clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched fists, and sighed, "We can't help. We're still too weak!"
"I'm so useless!" Rui Mengmeng blamed herself. "I should become stronger, become a Super God King, so I can protect everyone!"
Wei Zitong was a bit surprised. The words sounded so familiar. After thinking for a moment, he finally remembered that in "Super Seminary Season 1," Rui Mengmeng had said she wanted to become a "Super God King" to protect everyone. Back then, Rui Mengmeng wasn't called Rui Mengmeng, but Rui Wen.
Thinking about it, he patted Rui Mengmeng's shoulder and said, "Keep it up!"
