Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1004 708: Rapid Advancement!

"If I'm not allowed to use my Genetic Ability, then you shouldn't be allowed to use yours either," Zhan Zhouzhou wrapped Li Zheng's words in a trap and blocked him.

No use of Spiritual Power, no use of Genetic Abilities, the strongest means on both sides were forbidden.

Other than weapons, Li Zheng had also learned several martial arts techniques, but Zhan Zhouzhou's skills were entirely in Sword Dao.

The advantage is mine!

Li Zheng confidently said, "Fine, let's both not use them!"

"Deal!" Zhan Zhouzhou's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, a mysterious gleam flashed in her eyes, making Li Zheng's heart race with unease, instinctively feeling he had missed some crucial information.

But there was no time to think about it now; Zhan Zhouzhou clasped her right hand's index and middle fingers together like a sword, stepping forward with the Zhan Family's unique footwork technique, swaying toward him.

Li Zheng steadied his breath and concentrated, cautiously using the Palm Technique he learned from the Bear Human Race to meet her.

"Whump!"

After only a single clash, pain shot through Li Zheng's palm. Using the footwork technique fused from the Mouse Human Race and the Zhan Family to retreat, he glanced at his palm, shocked.

His palm had been pierced with a bloody hole by Zhan Zhouzhou's bare fingers!

Some kind of energy seemed to linger in the blood hole, preventing the wound from showing signs of healing despite his recovery ability.

"How about it? Surprised? Unexpected?"

Zhan Zhouzhou curled her lips into a satisfied smirk, "Did you think banning the use of Genetic Ability would leave me helpless? I just learned this trick a few days ago, perfect for testing on you!"

Li Zheng was both astonished by Zhan Zhouzhou's talent and annoyed at her recklessness, daring to go all out right away.

He put away his usual humor and got serious, his palm muscles twitched to grind away the mysterious energy in the blood hole, the wound quickly healed: "Its damage is decent, clearly you held back."

"We're friends after all, sparring can't be taken to a deadly level, right?" Zhan Zhouzhou laughed wantonly.

"Since you put it that way, I won't hold back either." Li Zheng's expression tightened, clenched his fist into a claw, and charged at Zhan Zhouzhou.

This Claw Technique came from the Mouse Human Race, noted for its elusive unpredictability, attacking while forcing the opponent to save.

Li Zheng rapidly stepped to the side of Zhan Zhouzhou, clawed towards her throat, with a venomous momentum suggesting he might crush her throat.

Zhan Zhouzhou dared not be careless, also stepping, attempting to dodge Li Zheng's claw.

But Li Zheng seemed to shadow her, as if completely aware of her intentions, keeping his fingers within ten centimeters of her neck.

She stepped back, pausing, countered with a Sword Point at Li Zheng's wrist.

Her finger shimmered with a metallic luster, as though if she managed to strike it, Li Zheng's wrist would be pierced through.

Li Zheng held his breath and concentrated, transformed claw into palm, no longer following the previous fierce style, rather going soft and shadowy.

This was Li Zheng integrating Palm Technique into Claw Technique and Whip Technique, softening hard, his arm like a boneless serpent, dodging Zhan Zhouzhou's Sword Point, coiling around her arm.

As their hands passed, Li Zheng changed technique again, transforming palm back to claw, once more aiming at Zhan Zhouzhou's throat.

"Snake-shaped Diao Hand?"

Zhan Zhouzhou exerted her arm, subtly escaping Li Zheng's grip, leaning back, flipping over, toe kicking at Li Zheng's chin, forcing him to retreat.

Li Zheng, wary of suffering the same Sword Point trick, feared Zhan Zhouzhou might apply it to her toe, not daring to confront directly, could only step back to evade.

Zhan Zhouzhou landed lightly, puzzled, "No, it's not the orthodox Snake-shaped Diao Hand, who taught you such half-baked stuff?"

"This is what I've created after merging various techniques." Li Zheng confessed sincerely, indeed dividing part of his Spiritual Power, sitting under the Bodhi Tree, deriving insights from Dark Realm images into martial arts techniques.

Sadly, these techniques were rather simple, useful only in battles of modest strength.

Against the twisted creatures in the Sin Domain, it could be said to have no killing power.

"Why do you always come up with useless things?" Zhan Zhouzhou frowned, "Seems you need more practice."

"Is that so?" Li Zheng slightly curled his lips, suddenly clustering fingers into a Sword Point, "Then see how about this?"

With that, he swarmed forward, channeling strength to fingertips, striking at Zhan Zhouzhou.

"Damn!" Zhan Zhouzhou raged, "You're stealing my technique again!"

She also clasped a Sword Point, aimed at Li Zheng's fingers.

The difference was Zhan Zhouzhou's Sword Point gleamed with metallic luster, while Li Zheng's was mere flesh.

Using enlightenment from the Bodhi Tree, he comprehended Zhan Zhouzhou's technique live, yet the time was too short, he couldn't fully grasp it, learning only half.

Clearly, if the two clashed, Li Zheng would suffer greatly.

So he improvised once more, wrapping soft palm around Zhan Zhouzhou, dodging her finger's edge, forcing her to change technique.

Zhan Zhouzhou's face cooled, entering serious mode, countered quickly, arm shook off Li Zheng, Sword Point continued towards Li Zheng's chest.

Li Zheng didn't meet force with force, instead tangled with her, competing in stamina.

Now, past training in the Gravity Field began to show effect, Li Zheng pressured by Zhan Zhouzhou's offensive, could only increase his speed in tandem.

Gradually, their exchanges quickened, dazzling to the eyes.
