Chapter 834: Chapter 6: Secrets and Hero Mode_2

"Please tell me about the Alliance’s structure, the original purpose for its establishment, as well as its current objective, and the backgrounds of each leader," Tang Zheng asked in detail. He could tell Chen Xiong was easy-going and approachable.

"Aside from the leader, there are Great Leaders for each region, followed by Group Leaders for each city. These positions are assigned based on individual strength and charisma," Chen Xiong had not finished speaking when Chen Hong interrupted him.

"Who is the Group Leader for this city?"

"I’m not particularly talented, but I serve as the Group Leader of this city," Chen Xiong, the robust man, unexpectedly revealed a bashful smile before continuing, "However, I think I’ll soon have to step down. Tang Zheng, you are more suited for the role than I am."

"You flatter me." Chen Xiong’s attitude had always been good, so Tang Zheng wasn’t always going to keep a cold face.

"Getting smug over a single compliment, do you know how hard it is to obtain Fourth-order Burst Seed? Do you realize that we Third-Order Conquerors stand no chance against Chen Xiong? If you don’t believe it, you can have a try," Song Xiaotang was clearly at odds with Tang Zheng.

"Enough, let’s say no more. After all, we’ll be colleagues in the future," Chen Xiong obviously had a good temper and didn’t like to get angry with anyone.

Tang Zheng didn’t bother arguing with Song Xiaotang, whereas Chen Hong, eager to earn Tang Zheng’s favour, glared at Song Xiaotang angrily.

"As for our goal, you are a smart man and dissatisfied. In the past, we aimed simply to survive. Now, we want to uncover the true nature of the Holy Land and determine the purpose behind the Silver Trojan’s cruel games," Chen Xiong took a sip of tea and let out a satisfied sigh.

"What have you discovered?" Tang Zheng had too many questions, "How many Trojan Rooms are there in China?"

"Nothing at all. Conquerors who have been to the Holy Land mostly die; those who return alive lose any memory related to the Holy Land. That’s why we must join forces and venture in together," Chen Xiong said, caressing the rim of his teacup, "As for the number of Trojan Rooms, there are currently eighteen known in the China Region. As for the leader’s matter, it’s not convenient to answer."

"Where does that unopenable door in the Trojan Room lead to?" Chen Hong suddenly chimed in, showing she wasn’t so useless that she lacked all thought.

"We don’t know; no one has ever opened it," Chen Xiong shook his head, "There are actually many things that some fearless individuals knew, but sadly they all died. The records kept in our Alliance have also been destroyed several times, likely the work of the Trojans."

"Now that Tang Zheng has joined the Alliance, how will he cooperate with other Trojan Squads, and whose orders will he follow? We can’t all just act independently," This concerned her personal interest, for Chen Hong knew that without Tang Zheng, others would certainly use her as Cannon Fodder until she was consumed.

Tang Zheng looked toward Chen Xiong, awaiting a response. This was something he cared about since he had to take responsibility for the rest of his team.

"Of course, it goes by strength," Song Xiaotang stated as an obvious fact, since being of the same generation as Chen Xiong, he would forcefully dominate when encountering other squads from the China Region.

"Impossible, what if they insist on using my team as Cannon Fodder? Even within the same Alliance, there can’t be unconditional trust between strangers," Tang Zheng shook his head. People like Zhuo Lie were strong, but their character was terrible.

"That’s why we have to meet and familiarize with each other. This time we won’t have enough time. We’ll enter the Trojan Room in two nights. Let’s do the introductions next time," Chen Xiong said quite sincerely.

"One last question, how strong exactly is someone with Fourth-order Burst Seed? Can you show me? Also, I want to know about the subsequent advancement levels," This world ultimately still bowed to strength, plus it was rare for a Fourth-Order Conqueror to come knocking, and it would be a shame not to collect some intelligence when this opportunity had presented itself.

"You’re being quite fastidious for a man, doesn’t it embarrass you?" Song Xiaotang derided Tang Zheng verbally but actually felt some admiration for him. She hesitated too when the Alliance recruited her, but she had not been as meticulous as this man. No wonder he was able to lead an immature team and survive to this point; he had some merits after all.

"Well, I really don’t like combat. Wouldn’t it be nice for all of us to go see the bustling Tokyo together, to broaden our horizons?" Chen Xiong scratched his head and seeing Song Xiaotang glare at him, quickly surrendered with a raised hand.

"The Third-order Burst Seed has a nickname called Foundation. I think you’ve heard of it," Song Xiaotang began to explain, feeling a sense of superiority in getting to instruct Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng nodded, not really caring for such trivial rivalry; it was beneath him.

Seeing Tang Zheng’s indifferent expression, Song Xiaotang felt like exploding; no man had ever ignored her like this before.

"Fourth-order Burst Seed also has a name—it’s called entering Hero Mode. Fourth Order is equivalent to Hero Mode First Stage. In this state, a Conqueror’s body reaches optimal performance, with physical attributes enhanced by a hundred times, or even more, depending on the level of Foundation. Even the weakest Hero can easily crush any Third-order Burst Seed. Of course, these are just the basics. Hero Mode is fearsome because it allows a Conqueror to use their Seed Ability to its full potential. Another thing—during this stage, the time limitations on the Ability are lifted, lasting until the Conqueror’s Life Energy is drained or they die."

Tang Zheng perked up. The five-minute limit on his Ability had always been a major concern; this was good news.

"If you ever encounter someone capable of entering Hero Mode, don’t hesitate. Run as far as you can," Chen Xiong wasn’t exaggerating; he truly intended to warn Tang Zheng.
