Ice Age Apocalypse: I Hoard Billions of Supplies-Chapter 578: Battle Against Wu Di

Chapter 578: Battle Against Wu Di

Up on the higher levels, Deng Shentong watched the match. Several members of the Black Robe Squad had also arrived one after another.

A fight this exciting was a rare treat—they weren’t going to miss it.

But among all the spectators, they weren’t the ones with the highest status.

Because today, Commander Zhu Zheng of the Jiangnan District was also present in the training arena.

He was seated in a private box on the fifth floor.

The glass wall in front of him had transformed into a massive screen, split into a dozen sections, providing views of the fight from various angles.

On the couch to his right sat the Minister of Operations, Tu Yunlie.

To his left stood his secretary, Lan Xincheng, and to his right, his personal guard, Sun Luxuan.

It was safe to say that at least half of the top brass still present in Blizzard City had shown up.

For a simple duel to attract this kind of attention—it was clearly anything but ordinary.

The battle began!

Zhang Yi and Wu Di were separated by several hundred meters, but since both were long-range fighters, the distance didn’t pose much of a problem.

Zhang Yi drew both White Owls and immediately pulled the triggers, aiming straight at Wu Di.

[Precision Shot]!

The bullets locked onto Wu Di automatically.

However, Zhang Yi wasn’t using his demon-breaking Sacred Silver bullets this time, but custom-made armor-piercing rounds.

Using Sacred Silver in Blizzard City would raise too many eyebrows—people might think he was trying to replicate Origin Bullets.

Zhang Yi wasn’t about to make such a rookie mistake.

Even so, when enhanced with his Superhuman Energy, those armor-piercing bullets were still devastating.

But just as Zhang Yi raised his guns, hundreds of white orbs materialized around Wu Di, enveloping him completely.

The moment the bullets came near those orbs, they melted in mid-air!

Seeing this, Deng Shentong nodded.

“This kid’s got some serious talent.”

Wu Di’s natural ability was extremely impressive. Even Bian Junwu held high hopes for his floating cannons—mental energy converted into weaponized orbs.

And after the battle in Tianhai City, his power had clearly leveled up again.

Zhang Yi, however, remained unfazed.

Wu Di knew his capabilities and was obviously guarding against his marksmanship. It would’ve been weird if he wasn’t.

But so what?

You’ve got a lot of mental energy? Fine. I’ve got a lot of bullets.

Zhang Yi kept firing while steadily shifting his position, all shots aimed at the same spot—trying to punch through the floating cannon's defensive field with sheer volume.

“It’s useless. I’ve already analyzed your combat style. You think this kind of attack can hurt me? Not a chance.”

Wu Di extended his right hand, and a dozen orbs fused into a massive floating cannon that blasted straight at Zhang Yi.

In an instant, a pillar of white light tore through space toward him.

But just before it hit, the beam vanished mid-air.

From the moment the fight began, Zhang Yi had already opened his Dimensional Gate.

Wu Di knew Zhang Yi’s abilities, and Zhang Yi understood Wu Di’s just as well.

At this level, it was all about hidden cards and counterplays.

“A spatial-type ability that can absorb attacks, huh?”

Deng Shentong rubbed his chin curiously.

Then he grinned. “But it’s not unlimited, I’m sure. Wonder if he could handle one of my attacks?”

Behind him, the bearded, burly man chuckled.

“Spatial types rarely have strong offensive skills. Still, I wouldn’t mind sparring with him myself.”

The pale, effeminate man beside him gave a faint smile.

“Someone like you, a melee spatial-type, is a rarity. Wouldn’t fighting him be kind of... bullying?”

The burly guy burst into laughter. “Yeah, fair enough!”

Sparring with someone like Zhang Yi, who was from outside Blizzard City, really would be overkill.

After all, he was the vice-captain of the Celestial Squad—Divine Fist Liao Honglei.

Deng Shentong leaned lazily on his hand, his delicate features almost feminine.

“No big deal. All I care about is his item storage ability. That alone would be super useful for our missions.”

“But if he can manage to surprise me with his spatial power... that’d be even better.”

His gaze was locked on Zhang Yi in the arena, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes.

The first wave of probing attacks had left both sides unscathed.

Still, the pressure didn’t let up—both were pushing forward, waiting for a crack to appear in the other’s defense.

Zhang Yi emptied both guns and swiftly hit a button. The empty clips dropped out—

Two fresh magazines appeared out of thin air, and he reloaded them one-handed.

Bang bang bang bang bang!!!

He kept firing nonstop.

Even Superhumans couldn’t ignore a barrage like this.

But Wu Di’s orb shield was truly impressive—not a single bullet made it close.

To Zhang Yi, though, that didn’t matter.

As long as he could slowly deplete Wu Di’s Superhuman Energy, even bit by bit, it was worth it.

Wu Di stared intently at Zhang Yi, not daring to let his guard down.

He knew Zhang Yi specialized in defense—offensively, he wasn’t too dangerous.

But Divine Power? That move could seriously injure him if it landed directly.

Still, that technique wasn’t flawless.

After the last fight, Wu Di had done his homework.

He found that Divine Power had an obvious wind-up and space distortion beforehand—it wasn’t instant.

And it drained a massive amount of Superhuman Energy.

After using it, Zhang Yi entered a brief “energy void” where he couldn’t use the move again right away.

As long as Wu Di stayed alert and dodged the first strike, he could use that opening to launch a counterattack!

“Let’s see how you handle this. I made it just for you.”

Wu Di smirked and spread his arms.

Tiny orbs, each the size of a droplet, began to appear around him—thousands of them!

These were miniature floating cannons. Not as powerful as the larger orbs, but they made up for it in sheer quantity.

Then, with a sweep of his arms, thousands of light dots tore through space, heading straight for Zhang Yi!

“Dimensional Gate!”

Zhang Yi remained calm and raised the gate in front of him.

But instead of slamming into it, the light dots scattered in mid-air, fanning out in all directions.

“He’s going for an AOE?”

Zhang Yi instantly grasped Wu Di’s intent.

Wu Di smirked.

“Captain Bian once said your ability counters my floating cannons. But with this kind of omnidirectional, no-dead-angle attack... how will you defend yourself?”

The countless light points floated in mid-air, completely surrounding Zhang Yi’s position.

In Zhang Yi’s sharp gaze, they grew brighter, burning hotter—

And then came a series of thunderous explosions!
