Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1136 - 836: Truth and Illusion at Will

"What kind of footwork is this?"

Li Zheng sensed closely, there was no fluctuation of Genetic Force; it was evident that the opponent’s airborne maneuver was not some powerful Genetic Ability.

"Celestial Dragon Wandering Body Step, one of the inherited combat techniques of our Celestial Dragon Race."

With the Black Dragon Spear in his hand, Drunk Evil Xiao relentlessly attacked, noticing Li Zheng still had the energy to speak, he couldn’t resist replying.

"Impressive," Li Zheng genuinely complimented.

All the flying techniques he had seen before were nothing more than Genetic Abilities and some natural talents of the race itself, such as wings or intangible forms.

To purely use technique to fly in the air, Celestial Dragon Wandering Body Step was undoubtedly the first.

At this moment, Li Zheng felt a stronger urge to recruit Drunk Evil Xiao.

The last surviving member of the Celestial Dragon Race must have inherited all the combat techniques, right?

If willing to "loan" them out, it would be immensely beneficial for the people of Water Blue Star... no, for the entire Outer City!

"Hmph, you’re not weak either!" Drunk Evil Xiao’s eyes sparkled, and his spear technique suddenly transformed, from mighty and unrivaled to gentle and supple; the Black Dragon Spear swiftly changed from a domineering giant dragon to a sinister venomous serpent, attacking Li Zheng from a tricky angle.

This sudden change made Li Zheng flustered for a while, but he quickly adapted to Drunk Evil Xiao’s combat rhythm, regaining ease and proficiency.

"You’re right; you’re indeed skilled in dual spear technique," Li Zheng suddenly realized that despite Drunk Evil Xiao’s fierce attacks, he always left a slight flaw unintentionally, clearly used to dual spear techniques, becoming a bit deficient when suddenly using a single spear: "You must have a spare long spear, why not take it out?"

"Since it’s a contest for the Black Dragon Spear, other weapons aren’t qualified to show up. Besides..." Drunk Evil Xiao sneered: "Against you, a single spear is enough!"

"Arrogant." Li Zheng snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with fierce intensity: "But I won’t be like you, I’ll use everything I have, watch this!"

"Fire come!"

With a sharp shout, a terrifying energy suddenly erupted from the volcano crater beneath their feet, the temperature above the volcano surged from an already high seventy to eighty degrees, breaking through over two hundred degrees.

In the next moment, magma soared into the sky, transforming into a grotesque dark red giant beast, sweeping towards Drunk Evil Xiao.

Under the enhancement of Li Zheng’s Genetic Ability, the internal temperature of the magma reached over a thousand!

Once caught in the magma, Drunk Evil Xiao would likely be instantly vaporized into ash!

"Is this Genetic Ability?" Drunk Evil Xiao was shocked, when did such powerful memory abilities appear in the Outer City, capable of threatening him!

He dared not be careless, wielding the Black Dragon Spear, forming a barrier of spear shadows around him, impenetrable.

The magma beast that swept in front was split apart by the spear shadow, turning into scattered meteors, falling back to the volcano.

"Burst!"

Li Zheng clenched his fist and shout aloud.

In the next second, those falling sparks suddenly lit up with a dazzling brightness, as if containing a hidden star.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of explosions echoed, the sky above the volcano mouth was engulfed by flames, and Zhan Zhouzhou and others watching from the volcano edge felt the terrifying high temperature approaching, their expressions changed, each using their abilities to shield themselves from the heat.

"When did Old Li become this terrifying?" Phoenix Mountain’s face turned pale, he used Burst to create air shock, forming a buffer area in front of him, the flame forming a reverse bowl shape in the shock zone.

"He’s always been this abnormal, is this your first day knowing him?" Lu Li struck with fists and legs, a thread of wind power circulated around him at every move, guiding the flame to swirl around him before flying back to the volcano crater.

"Hmph!" Zhan Zhouzhou said nothing, swung her sword downward, cleaving a vacuum area in front of her, allowing the flames to split left and right past her.

Her eyes were full of gravity; Li Zheng’s growth rate was even more terrifying than hers; merely the aftermath of the flame explosion required her to use eighty percent of her strength to handle it with ease.

This caused Zhan Zhouzhou, who had always viewed Li Zheng as both rival and friend, to feel both shock and joy.

The shock was that Li Zheng, a "loser," had never lagged behind her in combat power; the joy was that she still had a peer as a worthy opponent.

"Roar!~"

Suddenly, a deep dragon roar emanated from the flames, and a figure charged out from the firelight, surrounded by golden light, battle intent unmatched.

Drunk Evil Xiao emerged again, enveloped in golden light, dramatically transformed in appearance.

Emerald green scales covered his entire body, dark gold eyes glinting, cloud patterns on his face.

His limbs transformed into dragon claws, the Black Dragon Spear spinning furiously, repelling the surrounding firelight, charging towards Li Zheng once more.

"Able to make me show my true skills, you’re indeed not weak!" Drunk Evil Xiao said coldly: "But this is the end!"

Entering the Celestial Dragon True Form state doubled his combat power; if Li Zheng still relied on his previous abilities, this battle would end within three minutes.

However, charging at Li Zheng, Drunk Evil Xiao suddenly realized Li Zheng’s pupils had dimmed instantly, as if he was lost in thought during the fight.

Drunk Evil Xiao frowned deeply; they were in the middle of combat, yet he dared to daydream?

Isn’t this too disrespectful to him?

With a cold flash in his eyes, Drunk Evil Xiao determined furiously, since Li Zheng didn’t respect him, then let him taste some bitterness!

Clutching the Black Dragon Spear tightly, he pushed forward with force, the spear vibrating continuously, emitting a buzzing sound.

The spear tip sparkled with icy brilliance, unstoppable like a blade through bamboo, unleashing power that even compressed the hot air, pushing out for hundreds of meters, forming visible fiery ribbons.

Seeing the spear tip about to penetrate Li Zheng’s body, his figure suddenly quivered, disappearing from sight.

Drunk Evil Xiao was inwardly startled; he suddenly perceived an endless threat from all directions, like numerous enemies equal to Li Zheng were watching him.

His peripheral vision glimpsed a black shadow; he quickly retracted the Black Dragon Spear to strike.

Whoosh~

The shadow was dispersed by the strike, Drunk Evil Xiao clearly saw the shadow was a dissipating Li Zheng!

"Behind!"

"No! Left side!"

"Wrong, on the right side!"

Drunk Evil Xiao stood in mid-air with the Black Dragon Spear, launching attacks towards several directions continuously, each time shattering a Li Zheng shadow, but none were the true form.

"What technique is this?" Drunk Evil Xiao forced himself to remain calm, "It’s truly bizarre; every shadow is indistinguishable from the real one, able to bring real threats, yet upon hitting, they’re mere illusions?"

Since they are illusions, then...

Pfft!

Another shadow attacked, Drunk Evil Xiao stayed still, taking a spear straight on, realizing this time it was the true form!

Yet, as he wielded the Black Dragon Spear to counterattack, that body with another Black Dragon Spear turned unreal and vanished again.

"Switching between reality and illusion at will?!"
