Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 685 - 498: Ten Thousand Words Update (Makeup for Yesterday)_3
Unexpectedly, among the players who entered the Matrix at the same time, Li Zheng's strength had already surpassed theirs by such a large margin.
Liu Jiale felt somewhat unconvinced.
Because when he first met Li Zheng, Li Zheng was just an ordinary person who hadn't even started learning martial arts.
While he had already mastered Swordsmanship Mastery.
At that time, Liu Jiale was confident he could easily defeat Li Zheng in a one-on-one duel.
Looking at it now, their roles have completely reversed, and the gap has only widened.
In some ways, when facing Li Zheng, Liu Jiale's mindset had already become unbalanced.
At some point, after seeing Li Zheng, a sense of inferiority started to develop, while his martial artist's pride made him subconsciously want to catch up to Li Zheng.
Unknowingly, that unwilling-to-lose inferiority was stripped away of its prefix.
Leaving only inferiority.
Why does this world seem to favor Li Zheng?
Allowing his strength to improve as if he were riding a rocket?
Liu Jiale couldn't help but wonder, even though he didn't know what opportunities Li Zheng encountered, if he were in the same position, he would surely do better than Li Zheng!
"Heaven and Earth Slash!"
A crimson giant blade broke through the sky, as if the world was left with only the blade's light, and no other colors.
Liu Jiale stared blankly at the crimson, etching the light of the blade into the depths of his mind.
That blade... 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Has a problem!
Pfft!
Crackling~
Creaking noises from splitting wood sounded, and Liu Jiale turned his head woodenly to look at the tree spirit Boss.
Only to see countless vine-like roots crisscrossing to form a large web in front of him, which Li Zheng had cleaved vertically from top to bottom, splitting both roots and trunk in two.
The terrifying blade mark gave Liu Jiale the illusion that even Heaven and Earth could be cut apart.
"So... so strong!"
Liu Jiale swallowed his saliva with difficulty, as a Sword Skill expert himself, he could tell at a glance that the crimson blade light wasn't a result of Li Zheng's own skills, but caused by that strange sword.
That sword could actually grow on its own!
Liu Jiale recalled seeing Li Zheng use it not long ago, but at that time, it obviously didn't have such a terrifying power.
"If I can comprehend that strike, perhaps my sword skills can advance further!"
Liu Jiale suddenly realized that he had already recorded the details of the blade light in his mind, and given time, he would surely be able to figure out a similar sword skill on his own.
By then, he would be able to break free from the limitations of 'style' and become a true Sword Skill master.
Thinking of this, Liu Jiale suddenly thought that inviting Li Zheng to tackle the boss this time was a very wise decision!
He had been stuck at the Swordsmanship Specialization's advancement threshold for a long time, unable to find a path to further improvement.
He had consulted Zhan Zhouzhou on this matter, and Zhan Zhouzhou merely told him that to break through, he must make changes to traditional martial arts.
At the time, he couldn't understand what the so-called "change" meant.
Now he understood.
It turned out it was about practicing traditional martial arts in a more "fantastical" direction...
In this Boss battle, Liu Jiale might become the biggest winner.
Not only did he obtain a Boss drop, but he also had the opportunity to closely observe the blade light, laying a foundation for his future.
The imbalanced mindset suddenly found its balance again.
At this moment, Liu Jiale's demeanor underwent a transformation, losing the previous timidity, and his expression was full of vigor.
Looking at Li Zheng in mid-air still in a striking posture, lifeless, Liu Jiale suddenly laughed.
Laughed freely.
Li Zheng!
I will not lose to you!
At least in terms of sword skills, I will definitely be stronger than you!
A white light rose, and Li Zheng's body disappeared.
"Vice General Liu, the Boss has been slain, shouldn't we settle the reward we discussed earlier?"
Four silhouettes entered from the Tropical Rainforest entrance, the leaders of the four legions Liu Jiale had allied with.
They also had a deal between them. The four legions helped Liu Jiale gain time, and Liu Jiale would give each of them two Extraordinary Level blueprints.
That is to say, including the reward paid to Li Zheng, the Penglai Legion needed to pay a total of 28 Extraordinary Level blueprints this time!
This was no small burden for Penglai as well.
"Of course, Penglai's promise to everyone will never be broken," Liu Jiale laughed heartily and said, "I'll call my General over now to settle the promised rewards for everyone."
"That's best," the four leaders sighed in relief upon hearing this. They had been worried from the start of the cooperation, fearing Penglai might renege after the deed was done.
Now it seemed they were the ones with the petty mindset.
One leader walked up, scrutinized Liu Jiale closely, and suddenly said, "Vice General Liu looks somewhat different from before."
As he said this, the other three also exclaimed in surprise, "Yeah, did Vice General Liu have some happy occasion? Looking radiant, it's a sign of great fortune!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? Defeating a Boss itself is a joyful event, isn't it?"
"Right, right, haven't congratulated Vice General Liu on behalf of Penglai for successfully taking down the Boss in the Tropical Rainforest yet!"
"Oh right, Vice General Liu, quickly have the rest guard the entrance, I heard Kunlun's recently conquered Boss got snatched, we must avoid being overturned!" a leader suddenly recalled, repeatedly advising.
"No worries!"
Liu Jiale waved his hand grandly, chuckling, "We're so close, just decompose the Boss and grab the stuff right away, won't that do?"
With that, he turned to decompose the tree spirit.
At that moment, a clear voice came from behind, "I think, you shouldn't rush to decompose it yet, right?"
