Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1097 797: Encirclement

"Yan Jinjin?"

Terminal was quite surprised: "That old fellow, sent to the Genetic Research Institute by Li Zheng? Can he understand those documents?"

"Well... it's said that a cultivator's Nascent Soul computing power is not inferior to a supercomputer. Given time, he should be able to parse the research documents I can."

Putting it aside, Terminal started to study the document that had just been uploaded and quickly came to the same conclusion as Yan Jinjin and his team.

"It's indeed impossible to reproduce ability within oneself using ordinary means, but perhaps it could be achieved with the help of outer world methods."

Terminal looked at the machine he had modified, a thought occurring.

If the upcoming experiment succeeds, the cultivation technique sent by Yan Jinjin will have a place to shine.

...

"Blegh!"

Li Zheng retched, instructing Old Pu to eliminate the simulated image in front of him: "The first-person perspective is too difficult! I can't remember her movement trajectory at all, no pattern to be found."

Zhan Zhouzhou indeed deserves to be called a martial arts genius. Li Zheng tried more than ten times, each time getting dizzy by her, the longest lasting less than ten seconds.

And according to Old Pu, every practice of Zhan Zhouzhou lasted five minutes!

"Is it possible I can't steal her new step technique?" Li Zheng, disheartened, closed his eyes.

When he reopened them, he was already in the Dark Realm.

He tried hard to recall that step technique, attempting to create a corresponding model in the Dark Realm.

Perhaps because Li Zheng hadn't fully experienced it, this time the model creation failed unprecedentedly.

Sitting under the Bodhi Tree, he sighed deeply: "Even with the cheat of a Bodhi Tree, I can't compare to her. Is she too strong, or am I too worthless..."

Li Zheng divided most of his spiritual power at the Bodhi Tree, boosting his enlightenment in real-time, making his comprehension of martial arts far exceed ordinary people's.

With such a cheat aiding him, Li Zheng still couldn't grasp the essence of Zhan Zhouzhou's newly created step technique.

"Could it just be purely fast and accurate?" Li Zheng had a flash of insight, seemingly grasping a clue: "No, it's not just fast and accurate, but the most crucial point is to act as one wishes!"

He recalled the scenes simulated by Old Pu: "Even I don't know where I'll appear next, isn't that the perfect step technique?"

Then, on this basis, push "fast" and "accurate" to the extreme!

"Yes! That's it!"

Li Zheng excitedly returned to the outer world, raised his hand and called Kanda Yuuki over, instructing her to stand still.

Then Li Zheng began circling around her randomly.

Sometimes taking a step left, sometimes two steps right.

Sometimes it seemed he moved left, but actually went right.

Advancing, retreating.

Strolling, leaping.

Li Zheng utilized every technique from step techniques, slowly emptying his mind, not deliberately controlling his body, letting his body move wherever it wanted.

In the blink of an eye, a vague circle formed around Kanda Yuuki.

If someone attacked this "circle" at this moment, they'd find it almost impossible to hit him as long as their attack speed and neural response didn't surpass Li Zheng's.

However, not long after, Li Zheng suddenly stopped, furrowing his brows.

"If truly it's a step technique without controlling oneself, how then does Zhan Zhouzhou precisely pierce through the numerous eyes of twisted creatures?"

If there are enough targets, one could indeed act freely and attack whatever target one can reach.

But as targets become fewer, they also become more defined.

In this case, the untraceable becomes traceable.

"So, what I've realized is still my own, still lacking compared to Zhan Zhouzhou, that kind of genius?"

Li Zheng subconsciously felt somewhat dissatisfied, but after thinking carefully, he accepted it.

After all, he could realize this step technique thanks to the inspiration and thought path provided by Zhan Zhouzhou. Is admitting someone else is a little better than himself really so hard?

"Well, it's not difficult, just that thinking about someone's face when seeing my unconventional step technique makes my heart a bit uncomfortable, what's that about?"

Li Zheng rubbed his chin.

He could see that Zhan Zhouzhou competed with him in secret.

To be honest, he's so eager to learn Zhan Zhouzhou's new technique isn't just to compete with her?

The two of them, one represents Earth's combat power, the other represents Water Blue Star's combat power.

One represents the male group, the other represents the female group.

There's a saying: In literary matters, there's no first; in martial matters, there's no second.

No matter the perspective, neither wants to lose to the other.

"Uh, let it be." Li Zheng shook his head, muttering: "Anyway, after mastering the new step technique, a spar with Zhan won't be disadvantaged."

Even Li Zheng doesn't know where he will appear next, no matter how defying Zhan Zhouzhou is, she shouldn't hope to break this move!

"Pity it's realized a bit late; otherwise, with this step technique in hand, I could handle the three from Holiens myself!"

With a wave, he let Fukada Yuuki stand aside, not wanting her to continue "patrolling" in the capsule, saving some energy.

Mirel came downstairs and asked, "Finished?"

"Mm. Finished."

"This time finished so quickly?" Mirel's eyes were languid, licking her tempting red lips, twisting her waist as she approached: "Want to be busy for a while longer?"

Li Zheng's heart warmed, about to agree, when Mudala's voice came from outside: "Master, there are twisted creatures approaching!"

"Matters have priorities; your business will be dealt with later." Li Zheng stepped out of the capsule residence, waiting for Mirel to come out before putting away the capsule, simultaneously retrieving the Black Dragon Spear and surveying the surroundings.

Unaware of when it happened, the area within two thousand meters was filled with twisted creatures; they weren't in a rush to attack Li Zheng and the others but were dragging away the corpses of twisted creatures Zhan Zhouzhou had killed and feasting on them.

Even from over two thousand meters away, Li Zheng could hear the sounds of flesh being chewed and bones being snapped, sending chills down his spine.

"These twisted creatures lack a concept of companionship; anything they can eat seems to be within their diet." Li Zheng sighed, saying: "I finally understand why Outer City residents and Wilderness people have hunted in the Golden Light Zone for so many years without leaving a corpse behind - they were cleared by other twisted creatures."

"Master." Mudala asked nervously: "The number of twisted creatures is too many; I'm concerned about my ability to protect the Mistress completely; perhaps we should fight and retreat."

"No problem."

Li Zheng raised a hand, saying: "Just in time to test whether my newly realized step technique can withstand combat trials."

After devouring those corpses, the twisted creatures advanced another five hundred meters, then the sound of chewing resumed.

Li Zheng sensed countless malicious gazes falling on him; the twisted creatures had fixed their sights on them.
