Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 947 - 655: Celestial Will Organization, Shadow Controller_3

In that split second, it was the key to breaking the stalemate.

The two battled for a moment, then Li Zheng suddenly laughed, "I see, so all it takes is this to hurt you, right?"

The Shadow Controller was stunned upon hearing this, and launched both mechanical arms to attack Li Zheng.

Unexpectedly, this time Li Zheng didn't block, but instead twisted his body and willingly collided with the two shadow blades.

Puff puff, the blades embedded into flesh; Li Zheng controlled it well, avoiding the vital spots.

The Shadow Controller was about to seize the chance to slice sideways to cut Li Zheng into three pieces, but suddenly felt a mocking stare directed at him.

He looked up, but what met him was not a gaze, but a dazzling lustrous long knife.

Puff!

The long knife smoothly slashed into the Shadow Controller's neck, its sharp blade cut through two-thirds of it, leaving only some skin and flesh connected.

Li Zheng raised a foot and kicked the Shadow Controller in the chest, sending him flying, extracting the shadow blades stuck in him, causing two sprays of blood to spurt out.

"How can this be?!" The Shadow Controller fell to the ground, not dead yet, but not far from it.

Unwillingly, he stared with wide eyes at Li Zheng, who walked slowly to him, full of disbelief and confusion, as if unable to comprehend why he was suddenly chopped like this.

"Genetic creations, huh…" Li Zheng took out some medication, applied it to his wounds to speed up blood clotting and flesh regeneration, then squatted before the not-yet-dead Shadow Controller: "Feeling rather unwilling, huh? Want to know when I spotted your weak point?"

The Shadow Controller glared at him, unable to speak due to his slashed neck, only emitting meaningless sounds from the wound.

Secretly, part of his body became shadows, moving behind Li Zheng, hoping to deliver a fatal blow while he was careless.

"Heh... You think I'd give you the chance?" Li Zheng suddenly laughed, raised his hand and completely sliced the Shadow Controller horizontally open, revealing the internal organs, and an unusual heart different from a human's was still pounding.

Completely dead, the Shadow Controller couldn't maintain shadow form and revealed his true form.

It was a human-like figure with entirely black skin, covered with strange patterns on the surface, much like circuit board designs.

Ultimately, it was just a genetically engineered creature, with a flesh and blood body capable of an ability that turned their whole body into a shadow.

Since it was a flesh and blood body, it must have weaknesses; exploiting those weaknesses meant certain death.

"Isn't this shadow ability just a genetic ability?" Li Zheng spat disdainfully, "Relying on genetic abilities to survive yet looking down on them, have some shame!"

At this moment, Zhan Zhouzhou's voice came from the side: "To take so long with such a weakling, I guess I need to reevaluate your skills."

Li Zheng looked up and saw that Zhan Zhouzhou had already dealt with her opponent, standing not far away with her arms crossed, watching him.

"So quick?" Li Zheng scratched his head, "Was your opponent weaker than mine?"

From the Prelis' Eye assessment, the two Shadow Controllers weren't much different, the female Shadow Controller also had Basic Middle Tier strength, yet Zhan Zhouzhou handled her effortlessly?

"Was it difficult?" Zhan Zhouzhou said disdainfully, "Just create a patch of light on the ground casting distinct shadows, and fight around the shadows. A weakling without combat skills, easy to seize opportunities and kill after a few moves..."

"Wait..." Li Zheng raised his hand, "But if we're also in the light, wouldn't our shadows give them a chance to close in?"

"You still don't get it." Zhan Zhouzhou shook her head, "I want them to close in."

Li Zheng: "..."

Now, he understood.

Zhan Zhouzhou had enough confidence in close combat, preferring the enemy to engage up close, fighting around her strengths, thus increasing her winning odds.

"But what's my strong point?" Li Zheng fell into thought.

Combat skills?

Average.

Without the Bodhi Tree enhancing him, as Zhan Zhouzhou said, not even noteworthy.

Genetic abilities?

All Diamond Platinum abilities, even at full level, weren't overly powerful.

Spiritual power?

Very strong!

But it requires physique to leverage the advantages...

"Hmm, I need to find a way to increase my physique intensity, to unleash more spiritual power." Li Zheng thought, nodding: "But the Outer City seems to lack quick ways to enhance a physique beyond Basic Level unless opening another Super Divine Level Treasure Chest to get a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill."

Seems like a dead end.

Are Super Divine Level Treasure Chests that easy to obtain?

This morning, after a Platinum and a Silver, hoping for some luck.

And?

Got a Gold Level Treasure Chest, which had a Wish Stone Fragment, about the size of a fingernail.

If things continue this way, it's worse than when in Matrix, where every chest, no matter the tier, had substantial gains, unlike these illusory Wish Stone Fragments.

"What are you thinking?" Zhan Zhouzhou shouted, "You spaced out again?"

"Uh... nothing." Li Zheng snapped back, asking, "You martial artists, how do you usually enhance your body strength?"

"Simple, increase your stress." Zhan Zhouzhou said, "Didn't I give you the Overweight Necklace? Once you adapt to ten times gravity, find ways to add weight, like how I had Ye Kai and others forge a set of soft metal armor for me before, weighing over a hundred pounds, after ten times gravity amplification, the body undergoes far more pressure than just a hundred pounds."

"I see." Li Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

The Overweight Necklace, after using the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, became a norm, the mere tenfold amplification lost its training effectiveness for him.

Only by continuing to increase the amplification intensity could he find some pressure.

Perhaps, he should take time to visit the Gravity Research Institute, the only place in the Outer City dedicated to gravity equipment research.

"Speaking of which, how did you end up attracting such things?" Zhan Zhouzhou pointed to the two Shadow Controller corpses, "Besides being a clone from the Terminal, what else is special about you? Why are so many people after you in the Outer City?"

Li Zheng laughed bitterly at this, "How would I know? Initially, I thought you could leave one alive to help inquire, but you killed quicker than I did..."

The Shadow Controller he faced posed too much pressure, leaving no room for holding back; that guy even in his last moments wanted a turnaround, making it impossible to extract any information.

If only he could identify the force behind them, like the Celestial Will Organization, he might gather more info.

Seems he still needs to make a trip into the Wilderness.

Things are piling up...
