Chapter 719: Testing Each Other

Zhang Yi looked gently at Gao Changkong sitting across from him.

Gao Changkong was tall and handsome, with the sunny and energetic vibe of a basketball player. It was easy for him to leave people with a positive, uplifting impression.

Zhang Yi quietly took a sip of Gujing Tribute.

"Then I’ll talk a bit about my abilities too!"

He briefly introduced his powers.

Aside from hiding the Void Spear, he spoke openly about all the others.

There was no point in keeping those things secret—Jiangnan Region had already collected that information anyway.

By speaking up, he came across as more honest.

However, he only talked about what his powers did, not their actual limits.

For instance, how destructive Divine Power really was, how much force the Dimensional Gate could absorb, or how far he could travel using spatial teleportation.

He knew full well—just like he had hidden Void Spear and his actual combat strength—Gao Changkong was surely hiding something from him too.

Knowing just the abilities without the data wasn’t enough to devise a countermeasure anyway.

Gao Changkong hadn’t told him how far back Death Equals Reincarnation could rewind, either.

After hearing Zhang Yi's explanation, both Gao Changkong and Gu Man were silent for a moment.

Because based on the intel Zhang Yi had shared, he only seemed like a defensive Awakened.

If his defense rated a ten, then his offense might be just a one.

Sure, Divine Power was strong, but the rest of his attacks were underwhelming.

Most of the time, Zhang Yi relied heavily on firearms for offense.

Still, they didn’t know Zhang Yi's stats now.

So they couldn’t be sure just how powerful he was when equipped with his exclusive weapon Thunder Punishment, spatial powers, and paired with the Origin Bullet.

Both sides had given a basic intro of their powers—it was at least enough for a general understanding.

This way, even if they had to work together next, they wouldn’t be complete strangers.

"In any case, I hope we can work well together and complete this mission."

"Moon of Corrosion must be wiped out. No matter what, it has to be done! Only by destroying Moon of Corrosion can we achieve peace!"

Gao Changkong looked serious as he spoke to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi nodded. "I feel the same way."

They had a simple meal together, and the conversation went fairly well.

Thanks to Baili Changqing smoothing things over, the atmosphere wasn’t too awkward—even though both Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin weren’t the type to talk much with strangers.

This meal could be seen as Gao Changkong’s way of showing his stance to Zhang Yi.

To prove he held no resentment over losing command.

Not just to Zhang Yi, but also as a show of attitude to the higher-ups in Blizzard City.

After dinner, Zhang Yi brought Yang Xinxin back to the villa.

On the way, his expression stayed rather serious.

Even Yang Xinxin couldn’t help but ask, "Brother, do you have some thoughts about Gao Changkong?"

Zhang Yi looked up at her and smiled faintly.

"Not really. Who he is doesn’t matter to me."

"It’s just... I’m really curious about his ability."

Zhang Yi sat on the sofa, and Yang Xinxin softly settled beside him. Her big eyes stared at his profile, sparkling like a sky full of tiny stars.

Zhang Yi leaned back and spoke slowly, "I was just thinking—how far back can his Death Equals Reincarnation power really rewind?"

"If every rebirth lets him go back three days, then that means he has three times the time of a normal person."

"Seven days, and that’s seven times. Ten days... ten times!"

His gaze turned solemn. "If that’s the case, as long as he keeps using this power, he’ll have way more time than anyone else."

"And if he can also predict the future trajectory, then the number of things he can do is almost limitless."

"Even if he had no talent, just using it to train himself, he could still become a top-tier expert!"

"Not to mention, he’s already a basketball star—with a body far superior to normal people."

"So yeah," Zhang Yi crossed his arms, "a time-based glitch-type ability like that must have granted him incredible power!"

That was what Zhang Yi was worried about.

Someone who could manipulate the rules of time had nearly limitless potential.

Their growth rate would be far beyond the average.

Zhang Yi was starting to understand how Gao Changkong managed to rise from the bottom to his current status.

But then Yang Xinxin's lips curled up slightly.

Tilting her head playfully, she asked, "But, brother... do you really believe what Gao Changkong told you about his powers?"

Zhang Yi paused for a second.

"Gao Changkong definitely didn’t reveal everything. But when it comes to abilities, there’s not much point in lying to me."

"His power isn’t exactly a big secret among the upper ranks of Blizzard City anyway."

Yang Xinxin’s obsidian eyes twinkled.

"Mm... still, I feel like there’s something really strange about his ability."

"Can a human really bend this world’s timeline?"

Her words brought Zhang Yi’s thoughts back to his own rebirth.

He nodded. "Maybe it’s possible."

Yang Xinxin couldn’t understand why he was so sure.

"But based on what he said, he can freely twist time and keep altering history within a single-day loop."

"That’s no longer a human domain."

"It’s the realm of gods."

Yang Xinxin said softly.

Zhang Yi was quiet for a long moment.

Finally, he said, "Maybe his ceiling isn’t just Delta-level Awakened. But... who knows?"

He shrugged.

Other people’s powers—especially time-related ones—were nearly impossible to verify.

After all, he could loop time, and you couldn’t.

Well... technically, Zhang Yi could too.

But he hadn’t found the key to unlocking that part of his power yet.

He couldn’t exactly kill himself just to run a test.

That would be totally messed up.

"Anyway, there’s no need to worry about that for now."

"As the captain of the Celestial Hound Squad, I need to meet my team. Also, I need to integrate the Black Robe Squad with the Celestial Squad to prepare for Moon of Corrosion’s next move—whenever that may be."

Zhang Yi had no personal grudge against the Reincarnation Squad.

So there was no need to be overly guarded around them.

At most, when carrying out missions, they might compete for credit.

But one thing Zhang Yi was sure of—

When it came to eliminating Moon of Corrosion, there was no disagreement between them.

While Zhang Yi was contemplating how to merge the squads, back in Blizzard City, a campaign to turn him into a god quietly began.
