Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 815 - 76: Passing Swift! X2
"Reserved yet sharp as a blade..." Li Zheng squinted and complained, "Look at what you're saying, does that even make sense? Am I supposed to be restrained or sharp as a blade?"
Those two words are clearly contradictory, aren't they?
Lack of knowledge is scary!
"It's not a contradiction!" Zhan Zhouzhou waved her hand, indicating not to mind the details, "The feeling I get from you now, at first glance, you're quite unremarkable, but when you look at someone, there's a sense of being on edge, a thorn in the throat, a blossom... uh... anyway, you make me feel that you're very dangerous."
"That's normal." Li Zheng stared hard at Zhan Zhouzhou, his eyes as wide as possible, trying to amplify the 'danger' Zhan Zhouzhou was talking about: "When have I ever made you feel not dangerous?"
Zhan Zhouzhou glanced at him disdainfully: "The way you look now has diluted that dangerous feeling, leaving only sleaziness."
Li Zheng: "..."
Alright, is that what they call overdoing it?
Since he was scolded, continuing to act would only cement the 'clown' label, so Li Zheng straightened up and resumed his normal demeanor.
Zhan Zhouzhou nodded in satisfaction: "Indeed, this looks much more pleasing!"
Li Zheng: "???
"Though I know you're saying this as a compliment, the hint of teasing, like you're playing with a chick, what's that about? You really think I wouldn't dare to make a move in the Outer City, huh? Don't be afraid to hear this, I have people in the Law Enforcement Team! Even if we both get caught, you'll be the one in trouble!"
On the contrary, if the two were to fight, Li Zheng was unlikely to be caught.
After all, he still had to guard the Teleportation Gate, and if he got taken away, who would fulfill the duty?
Such a 'leisurely job' is not one anyone would want to fill, even temporarily.
After all, 'leisurely jobs' usually offer no profit, as can be seen from Li Zheng's long, uneventful shifts. Not only did he gain nothing, but he also had to give away two potions to grease the Law Enforcement Team...
"You're overthinking it." Zhan Zhouzhou shook her head, "Sister truly appreciates you because every now and then, you manage to surprise me in different ways."
From being an easy opponent that didn't even dare to fight back to later teaming up in dungeons, delivering a decisive blow, and later becoming so strong that even Zhan Zhouzhou felt the pressure to catch up.
One could say that Zhan Zhouzhou's current achievements are largely credited to Li Zheng!
In her eyes, he was like a benchmark, one slip, and he would surpass her, with the gap growing wider.
With such a skilled individual nearby, Zhan Zhouzhou dared not let her guard down even for a moment and could only continuously tap into her potential to barely keep up with Li Zheng's pace.
At least, that's what she thought, completely unaware of how amazed Li Zheng felt watching her progress every time she made a move.
"Breakfast is here!" Mirel came over with a platter of soy milk and over a dozen fried dough sticks, wiping her hands on a small apron made from ordinary clothes, "You two eat first. Later, there will be tofu pudding and white porridge. I've discovered that millet porridge is quite nice—thick, fragrant, and smooth in texture."
Watching Mirel's retreating figure as she ran back to the stove, Zhan Zhouzhou expressed a complex emotion: "It's the first time I've seen an Enchanting Demon trained to be a cook..."
"I didn't deliberately train her. Mirel just likes cooking... Huh???" Li Zheng said offhandedly, then suddenly realized something and asked in surprise, "You've seen other Enchanting Demons before?"
"Uh..." Zhan Zhouzhou was stumped and awkwardly looked away, "Eat... eat!"
It's so embarrassing!
How did I accidentally let that slip?
She's indeed seen Enchanting Demons before, but not in real life, rather in various fantasy works.
Only those Enchanting Demons' roles and identities were... well...
Agh~
The idea of how the noble young mistress of the Zhejiang-Hangzhou family has a hobby of visiting certain secretive sites is utterly mortifying!
"Here, tableware." Li Zheng took out some utensils from a capsule, eyeing Zhan Zhouzhou suspiciously. Clearly, this girl's expression was hiding something.
There's something fishy!
"What... what are you looking at?" Zhan Zhouzhou, blushing with anger, grabbed a fried dough stick and thrust it toward him.
"Bring it on!" Li Zheng's expression shifted slightly, exhaling sharply. He raised a hand and used the Claw Technique from the Rathead people to grab Zhan Zhouzhou's wrist.
"Huh?"
Zhan Zhouzhou exclaimed in surprise. The hand she'd thrust out quickly flipped to evade Li Zheng's grasp.
Instantly, her expression changed as well, her face showing a coldness that exuded an aura of unapproachability.
Missing with one grab, Li Zheng lightly tapped the table with the other hand, and suddenly, the longest fried dough stick in the plate seemed to be pulled by an invisible string and flew into his hand.
In the next moment, he executed a Staff Technique seamlessly, creating a flurry of... uh, fried dough stick shadows, as whiffs of oil fragrance were spread everywhere, making passersby involuntarily gulp, their appetite piqued.
"Good Staff Technique!"
Zhan Zhouzhou exclaimed sharply, executing the Zhan Swordsmanship; the fried dough stick in her hand was like a sharp blade, heading straight for the densely packed fried dough stick shadows.
That was the strongest defensive point and the area with the highest attack power.
Zhan Zhouzhou's personality was just like that, matching toughness with toughness, unwilling to be outdone.
Weak opponents weren't even qualified to fight her. Bullying the weak wasn't something she'd do unless someone had deeply wronged her.
"I knew you'd do that!" Li Zheng declared confidently, changing the techniques in his hand again. The myriad stick shadows vanished without a trace, and the golden fried dough stick came down with a crushing force toward Zhan Zhouzhou.
This was the Double-Bladed Axe Technique of the Elephant Race, slightly modified by Li Zheng.
Using a stick instead of an axe, but the power was equally impressive.
Although he couldn't achieve Lifting Light as Heavy, making a light fried dough stick smash down with the force of a thousand pounds, it was still not to be underestimated.
"Such impressive pressure, check out this move!" Zhan Zhouzhou switched her sword stance, splitting the fried dough stick into two sword shadows, attacking Li Zheng's face from the left and right.
"Not bad!" Li Zheng said with confidence, grabbing the end of the fried dough stick with his free hand, twisting his arms. The fried dough stick resembled a short spear, flowering into spear blossoms that instantly shattered the sword shadows in Zhan Zhouzhou's hand.
Pop!
The fried dough stick collided, the surface coating cracking and scattering, the aroma becoming even stronger.
"Is this Spear Technique?" Zhan Zhouzhou immediately recognized it; at first, Li Zheng's best skill was the spear technique, a scene she remembered clearly when they faced dungeons together, with Li Zheng holding off enemies on his own with a spear.
For this, she had diligently studied, developing a sword form specifically to counter Li Zheng, aimed at breaking through long spear weapons.
The move was named 'Breaking Spear Technique'...
Yes, she borrowed the technique name from Dugu Nine Swords.
"This sword is specially designed to cut through the seven-inch weakness of a spear, let's see how you change it up!" Zhan Zhouzhou used a Sword Technique, striking the fried dough stick towards the spear blossoms created by Li Zheng, aimed at his technique's weak point.
"What's so difficult about that?"
Li Zheng kept his composure, confident expression, changing the fried dough stick from a spear into a sword, not dodging or evading, directly slashing over.
"You even know Sword Skill?" Zhan Zhouzhou grew more surprised as the fight went on, when did Li Zheng master so many Martial Arts?
Moreover, each one didn't seem to be practiced casually; they were all mastered to an adept level.
The key point was that Li Zheng's transitions were so smooth, indicating he had fully integrated each technique!
"There's much more I'm capable of!" Li Zheng responded, his hand missing its target.
Zhan Zhouzhou, at the last moment, forcefully withdrew, risking muscle strain, to avoid Li Zheng's sword strike.
The next second, enduring the pain in her arm from forcibly stopping her move, her sword stance changed again, releasing an astonishing aura from her body.
"Face my strongest sword!"
The fried dough stick pierced straight, carrying an unstoppable momentum, like it would smash through any formidable foe before it.
"Passing Swift!"
Li Zheng naturally wouldn't fail to recognize this move, his hand also changing stance, thrusting directly out: "Here I come!"
"Passing Swift!"
With the same 'weapons' and the same 'move', yet both executed with different feelings.
Zhan Zhouzhou's Passing Swift was agile and nimble, like a lively swallow flying in from outside, diving into an ordinary household, determined to break through any walls obstructing it!
While Li Zheng's Passing Swift resembled a colossal golden eagle, it didn't crash into walls.
It...
Lifted the roof!
