Chapter 257: Chapter 256
In the Reincarnation Space, discussions were abuzz.
Everyone was deeply shocked by Shura's survival in the extreme conditions of a nuclear explosion; reincarnators everywhere were talking about it.
What Shura had accomplished was truly an unprecedented feat!
And those preparing to challenge the tenth floor of the Reincarnation Tower were utterly terrified at the mention of a nuclear explosion.
"Damn, the 'Final Destination' scenario even includes a nuclear blast? Isn't this just sending people to their deaths?"
"Screw this, I'm done. I'll just stay stuck on this floor forever. I'm no Shura; I can't survive a nuclear explosion."
"Heh, are you guys idiots? The Grim Reaper isn't going to start with a nuclear bomb! It will definitely try to hunt you down with regular methods first and gradually increase the difficulty. Only for an indestructible guy like Shura would they resort to using a nuke, okay? Have you ever heard of anyone else encountering a nuclear attack?"
"Exactly, a super rating isn't that easy to achieve!"
"Sounds like… that makes sense…"
...
Ordinary reincarnators were simply in shock—just plain surprised.
But those in higher positions, beyond their initial shock, truly understood that Shura had genuinely risen to prominence!!
Being able to survive a nuclear explosion, regardless of the method used, signaled undeniable power.
From now on.
Shura could no longer be viewed with the eyes of seeing a promising newcomer.
He had become a major force!
Domestically, the emergence of a figure like Shura was met with general happiness. Even though Shura hadn't joined any governmental faction, the rise of a powerful individual, as a compatriot, could bring no harm.
However, the big players abroad were less than thrilled!
A powerful reincarnator is like adding another nuclear warhead to the arsenal.
Especially someone as talented as Shura, who has only just reached the tenth floor of the Reincarnation Tower and can already survive a nuclear blast??
By the time he reaches the twentieth floor, wouldn't he become an S-level powerhouse?
Having one Adam was already difficult enough to deal with—now another one? It could be a nightmare!
The most frustrated, of course, were the people from the Sam Empire.
Upon hearing the Reincarnation System's broadcast, the reincarnators from Zone E felt as though they had swallowed a fly.
"Shit! Is the Reincarnation System glitched? How could a tenth-floor newbie survive a nuclear blast?"
"A toy nuke, maybe? This joke is going too far!"
"Look at Shura, then look at our own prodigy, Tom. It's really disheartening."
"Shura must have cheated. I refuse to believe anyone could survive a nuclear explosion."
"Why can't you just accept reality? The Reincarnation System doesn't make mistakes. For Shura to survive a nuclear blast means that, at least in terms of survival skills, he's already the best!"
...
The reincarnators in Zone E were also deep in discussion.
But everyone was filled with negative emotions…
In a private room in a bar within the Zone E Entertainment City, a reincarnator was drinking alone.
This reincarnator's appearance was rather unremarkable, even slightly balding… but those who knew him understood just how terrifying he was.
He was the current world's number one expert: Adam.
Hearing the broadcast in the Reincarnation Space, Adam's expression remained unchanged, but his grip tightened.
"Crack."
The glass shattered in his hand.
A cold glint appeared in Adam's eyes.
Then, Adam stood up, used Reincarnation Points to pay for the broken glass, and then turned and left the room, going offline directly.
Back in the real world, Adam immediately picked up a phone and dialed a number.
When the call connected, Adam asked, "Have you found out Shura's identity?"
"We have some clues," a calm voice replied on the phone. "A few days ago, a Blacklight Virus adapter was killed in AH City, in Xia Country, by a mysterious expert. Preliminary suspicion points to Shura himself. Our people are working to uncover the true identity of this mysterious expert!"
"Good, find out as soon as possible!"
"Understood, Your Holiness…"
...
Meanwhile.
Chen Ye had returned to the Reincarnation Space.
His injuries had all been restored to their best state.
But Chen Ye's mind was still incredibly weary.
Surviving those last few minutes after the nuclear explosion was an experience Chen Ye would never forget…
[Honored Reincarnator 'Shura,' you have completed your mission. The rewards for this session are as follows!
Reincarnation Points: 55,000!
Reincarnation Warrant X1 (stored in your personal warehouse).
Credit Black Card X1 (special item, stored in your personal warehouse).
Golden Treasure Chest X1 (stored in your personal warehouse).]
Hearing the system prompts, despite the rewards this time including a couple of novel items, Chen Ye had no interest in checking them on the spot. He directly ordered the system to teleport him to the teahouse, ordered a cup of Tranquil Tea, and sat heavily on the sofa, sipping it slowly.
The effect of the Tranquil Tea was remarkable.
Soon, Chen Ye's agitated mind calmed down.
[You have a new communication message. 'Murong Yuling' invites you for a video call. Please respond promptly.]
Chen Ye was slightly taken aback but then connected the call.
Murong Yuling's charming figure instantly appeared on the screen.
"Shura, congratulations! You've received another super rating."
Chen Ye sighed, "Thanks!"
... . ....
Noticing Chen Ye's low spirits, Murong Yuling asked, "Shura, what's wrong?"
Chen Ye shook his head, not elaborating. He asked, "Yuling, do you have some time? If so, come have some tea. I'm in Room 3465 at the teahouse."
"Sure! Wait for me a moment."
The call ended.
Moments later.
Murong Yuling appeared in the room.
"Shura," Murong Yuling greeted.
Chen Ye smiled, "Sit down. I've already ordered Tranquil Tea for you."
"You don't seem to be in a great mood. Did something happen?" Murong Yuling asked softly as she sat down.
Chen Ye exhaled heavily and said, "Nothing much, just feeling a bit tired. I'll be fine after some sleep."
Seeing Chen Ye's expression, a hint of concern appeared on Murong Yuling's pretty face.
Knowing him well, she knew Shura was resolute and strong-willed, always ready to face any difficulty head-on.
Such a man would not show this kind of emotion unless he had suffered a significant setback.
Thinking of the recent system announcement, Murong Yuling had a faint guess in her mind.
"Shura, was the nuclear explosion very terrifying?"
Chen Ye was taken aback, appreciating Murong Yuling's keen insight.
"It was indeed terrifying, but it's nothing. I can handle it; I just need a little rest."
Murong Yuling couldn't help but advise, "Shura, you push yourself too hard. You should give yourself a chance to relax…"
