Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 1079: A Huge Gap

Chapter 1079: A Huge Gap

Zhu Zheng still insisted, "But she's just a child!"

Zhang Yi looked at him calmly, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were unyielding.

"A bullet fired from a gun in a child's hand can kill just as effectively as one from an adult's!"

"Don't worry, we're just sparring. I won't go too hard."

Although Zhang Yi's tone was gentle, he didn't leave Zhu Zheng any room for negotiation.

If Zhu Zheng refused, he would lose Zhang Yi's trust, and the foundation of mutual trust between them would crumble.

Helplessly, Zhu Zheng could only nod in agreement.

"But you must promise not to harm her."

"Of course, I wouldn't bully a child."

Zhang Yi promised.

He certainly wouldn't harm Zhu Yu.

He would only kill her outright if he felt this girl posed a threat to him.

Zhu Zheng was extremely frustrated, but he had no choice but to have Li Lingxue inform Zhu Yu of this decision.

Li Lingxue walked over to Zhu Yu's side and said to her with a smile,

"Little Zhu Yu, this uncle wants to play a game with you. It's like dodgeball. You need to dodge all his attacks, and if you can hit him with your ability, you win."

Zhu Yu was confused and naive. She didn't understand what combat was. These things were all taught to her by Li Lingxue and others specially assigned to instruct her in fighting.

In her view, it was just a kind of game.

On Zhang Yi's shoulder, Hua Hua stared at the girl with a strange look in its eyes. Zhang Yi patted its head.

If any unexpected situation arose here, Hua Hua would be the first to eliminate all threats.

A beast with a superhuman ability index of 9,800 points and the potential to reach the Epsilon level was more than enough to sweep through the entire Blizzard City!

The two of them arrived deep within the research center.

After the Martial Arena defected, the research center had built a brand-new combat training ground.

The special materials used here could withstand the energy released by Epsilon-level superhumans during practice.

Zhang Yi and Zhu Yu stood facing each other.

Manifold Phenomena activated instantly, enveloping the entire training hall in a flash!

This entire space was filled with his Dimensional Gates.

Around Zhang Yi himself, dozens of Dimensional Gates formed a polyhedral barrier.

Sixtyfold spatial acceleration activated, pushing his speed to the limit.

All Things Follow Traces also locked onto Zhu Yu. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

After making all these preparations, Zhang Yi gestured towards her, "Begin!"

Zhu Yu's gaze was as clear as a spring.

She slowly raised her right hand. In that instant, a raging storm surged around her. Over a dozen massive tornadoes howled as they charged towards Zhang Yi!

Then, in the very next moment, they all vanished into the Dimensional Space.

A flicker of curiosity appeared in Zhu Yu's eyes.

"Is this the power of the spatial type?"

Her small, pale hand flipped over. The surrounding air suddenly became extremely cold. Vast sheets of frost, centered at her feet, began spreading towards all surrounding areas!

The frigid air tried to find a flaw in Zhang Yi's defense to seep through.

But it, too, was absorbed by the Dimensional Gates that covered the entire training hall.

Seeing that her two attempts had achieved no results, and that the man in the distance hadn't moved an inch yet had easily neutralized all her attacks, Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel a bit impatient inside.

So, she spread her hands open, and even more ferocious attacks were launched at Zhang Yi!

Watching Zhu Yu simultaneously use multiple superhuman abilities to attack him, Zhang Yi couldn't help but think of that Yuan Kongye from back then.

However, the current Zhu Yu's strength was far inferior to Yuan Kongye's from that year.

Her superhuman ability index was probably around 9,900 points. She might truly be just one step away from the Epsilon level.

One could imagine how many resources Zhu Zheng had invested in her and how much effort he had poured into her.

However, a clone was ultimately just a clone. No one could perfectly replicate Yuan Kongye using only half the genes.

Zhu Yu's methods of attack were like a baby's play in front of Zhang Yi, who was known as the Absolute Defense.

As for Li Lingxue and Zhu Zheng watching from the sidelines, although they were mentally prepared and knew Zhu Yu was no match for Zhang Yi, they hadn't expected Zhang Yi to handle it so effortlessly.

From their perspective, Zhang Yi was simply standing there, not moving an inch from start to finish.

Yet, none of Zhu Yu's attacks could approach the space within ten meters of his body.

They were completely not on the same level. The gap was far too obvious.

"That's about enough."

In Zhang Yi's mind, he now understood the concept of this so-called imperfect clone.

Perhaps one day in the future, she might truly become an Epsilon, but she would definitely not be as powerful as Yuan Kongye.

At the very least, in the short term, she wouldn't become a threat to Zhang Yi.

"Let's end it here."

Zhang Yi raised his right hand and clenched it in the air. The entire space of the training hall twisted, and all of Zhu Yu's offensive momentum was instantly dismantled!

The entire space fell silent, as if nothing had ever happened.

Zhu Yu stared blankly at Zhang Yi before her, her big eyes filled with confusion.

She didn't understand why this uncle playing the game with her was different from those people before.

Many of her previous playmates had ended up torn to pieces or, like a magic trick, turned into a puddle of red liquid.

"Uncle, you're amazing!"

Zhu Yu said with genuine admiration, smiling.

Zhang Yi gave a faint smile, "You're not bad either. Let's stop here for today!"

Zhu Yu nodded, "Mhm, mhm. So when will you come play with me next time, Uncle?"

Zhang Yi chuckled, "If there's a chance, I'll naturally come keep you company."

He put his hands in his pockets and stepped back, leaving the training hall step by step.

The looks in Zhu Zheng and Li Lingxue's eyes as they watched him had changed.

Zhu Zheng's held reverence, while Li Lingxue's was more like looking at a rare beast.

"Captain Chaos, could you cooperate with my research? I really want to see what your gene sequence looks like now!"

Li Lingxue said to Zhang Yi with great earnestness.

Hearing this, Zhu Zheng immediately scolded, "Professor Li! That's too impolite!"

Only then did Li Lingxue realize she had been too abrupt. However, as a researcher, she truly wanted to know to what extent human evolution could reach.

"Sorry, Chaos. But if you're willing to cooperate with my research, I believe we have a great chance of unraveling the mysteries of human evolution!"

Li Lingxue still wore a very serious expression.

Zhang Yi chuckled and waved his hand, "Sorry, but I have absolutely no interest."

A trace of regret appeared on Zhu Zheng's face as he said to Zhang Yi, "She was originally just one step away. But that one step, she just couldn't cross it."

"The Epsilon level... it really depends on talent. It's indeed very difficult to achieve!"

Zhang Yi asked with a playful tone, "So you had Jingwei follow me, trying to get the Divine Source from me?"
