Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 915 - 644: Sin Domain (Part 2-3)

Suddenly, he paused and lightly patted his waist.

Buzz~

A faint ripple spread through the air as the Shield Belt Energy Source lit up, showing remaining energy: 89%.

Snap!

A tentacle struck the shield; the Ion Shield became visible, flashing momentarily.

The belt energy instantly dropped: 39%.

Li Zheng dodged the next attacks and glanced at the energy consumption: "Fifty percent—slightly weak, only at the initial Star Shining level."

After testing the attack power and speed, Li Zheng's wings fluttered as he quickly retreated over a hundred meters.

The twisted creature, seeing its prey trying to escape, hurriedly moved its limbs to chase, with intertwined arms and claws furiously digging the ground, quickly catching up to Li Zheng.

"Hmm, even its moving speed temporarily is at the Star Shining level," Li Zheng nodded and suddenly changed direction, flying sideways.

The unexpected turn caught the twisted creature off guard, rushing out several dozen meters before stopping and turning to continue its pursuit of Li Zheng.

"Its agility is average." Li Zheng's eyes lit up: "In the future, Water Blue Star players can exploit this weakness to defeat these twisted creatures!"

The next crucial step was the testing.

Li Zheng raised the Glazed Long Saber, hesitated, then stowed it away on his back, fixing it with Spiritual Power.

"This saber is too powerful; regular players have difficulty obtaining weapons of the same level—data measured with it won't be straightforward."

Spitting.

Li Zheng spat out saliva; the Ice Element attachment initiated instantly, freezing it into ice chunks, then manipulated it into fine needles with Spiritual Power.

"As long as Spiritual Power output is controlled, the needle's power won't be too high, making the conclusion closer to what ordinary players can achieve."

Especially those players skilled in firearms can only focus on weapon improvement, Li Zheng planned to let Water Blue Star players change their combat style upon entering the Outer City.

Relying solely on weapon output is highly restrictive; in special circumstances where hot weapons become useless, players would be almost incapacitated with little combat capability.

What he's doing now, using Spiritual Power to control objects for combat, is perfect for firearm players; starting with some twisted magic crystals as a foundation smoothens subsequent enhancements.

"Go!"

Li Zheng flicked his finger, shooting the ice needle, piercing the air before fiercely striking the twisted creature's surface.

The black skin, hard as rock, but under the concentrated ice needle from Li Zheng, seemed like tofu residue, piercing through swiftly, with cold air disrupting nearby organic tissues.

Snap!

In less than ten seconds, the ice needle-frozen area cracked open into shards on the ground.

"Hmph~ Roar~"

The twisted creature emitted sounds for the first time; its indistinct face split below its head, revealing a bloody mouth with dense layers of sharp teeth, enough to make trypophobia sufferers' skin crawl.

"So you do feel pain?" Li Zheng was stunned; he thought twisted creatures should discard all sensory aligned with their inherent emotions, only instinctively pursuing their emotionally dominant desires.

Turns out, they still suffer from agony upon attack.

"Their defense is average too; typically, Star Shining level weapons can harm it—higher quality, more powerful weapons could speed up killing it."

Li Zheng quickly documented this data in his mind, "But this is just one test target; insufficient data still requires more twisted creatures for information. As for this one… it's of no further use; let's kill it."

With a thought, Li Zheng spat out more saliva, converting them all into ice needles and launched them at the twisted creature.

"In the future, I should carry a small bottle of water with me—can't keep spitting every time in battle; it's too damn lowly."

Roar!

The twisted creature suddenly turned and fled, sensing imminent danger, crazily moving away from Li Zheng.

But its speed couldn't outpace Li Zheng's ice needles, which struck its limbs one by one, freezing blood and flesh to shatter on the ground.

"Hmm…"

Li Zheng gazed at the ground laden with ice-crystal-coated flesh, contemplating: "Isn't this available water?"

Spiritual Power instantly swept through, absorbing every drop of water from the shattered, fleshy ground, floating into the air before Li Zheng.

The Ice Element attachment activated, transforming small water spheres into small ice spheres; then, through shaping ability, elongated into needles to be sent out again.

Puff, puff, puff, puff…

Repeating the method, Li Zheng soon controlled over a hundred ice needles, completely obliterating the twisted creature.

"Does this count as the ultimate form of the 'war-support tactic'?" Li Zheng stepped closer, waving his palm, raising countless ice crystals, coagulating them into needles orbiting him.

The void granted another benefit: the ability to multitask, controlling multiple targets simultaneously for varied operations.

Just like the void demonstrated to Li Zheng: each additional Spiritual Power Node enabled deft manipulation of another target at meticulous levels.

Void endowed Li Zheng with six-figure node strength; beside him, floated over ten thousand densely packed ice needles, immensely terrifying.

"This is somewhat interesting." Li Zheng managed over ten thousand ice needles, like fish swimming nimbly around him without strain.

"Certainly deserves the title of veteran forging master; the Blacksmith's thorough reconstruction transformed the Lamp Holder entirely—pre-reconstruction Lamp Holder would've died controlling so many targets."

Even now, Li Zheng was at his limit managing over ten thousand ice needles with his body's sustaining capacity.

Considering the damage additional targets might cause, he dispersed around three thousand needles, retaining only seven thousand thin needles orbiting him.

Despite the decrease in number, the threat did not diminish; instead, freeing up space enabled Li Zheng to maintain both offensive and defensive capabilities.

Li Zheng split a strand of Spiritual Power into the twisted creature's remaining shell, finally locating a fist-sized white magic crystal in its "head" area.

The magic crystal was rife with dense negative emotions; those with weaker Spiritual Power or Willpower could glimpse depraved scenes within it.

Li Zheng, however, casually rubbed his fingers, purifying the twisted magic crystal completely, leaving only concentrated Magic Crystal Energy.

"Next… continue collecting data."

Li Zheng discerned direction, flying toward the "little cutie" previously indicated by Ol' Pu.
