Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 941 - 653: Defying Authority (Part 3)

Zhan Zhouzhou engaged her spiritual power and contacted the magic crystal in her hand, immediately feeling that her spiritual power seemed to have established a connection with it, instinctively learning how to absorb its internal energy.

"Hold on a moment, let me take a look at your spiritual realm now," Li Zheng stopped Zhan Zhouzhou from immediately absorbing the magic crystal, then released his spiritual power into her mind, searching for the spiritual realm belonging to Zhan Zhouzhou.

Soon, Li Zheng sensed a barrier, knowing he had found the place.

He immediately intensified his effort, ready to pierce through the barrier to enter.

However, Zhan Zhouzhou seemed instinctively wary of him, although she tried to restrain it, the repulsion from her spiritual realm was still very evident.

"Hang in there," Li Zheng frowned slightly, reminding her, "I need to use some forceful means now, it might be uncomfortable, be sure not to resist strongly, otherwise your spiritual power might backfire and collapse."

Zhan Zhouzhou didn't speak, just nodded lightly, indicating she was prepared.

In the next second, Li Zheng increased the intensity of his spiritual power delivery, abruptly striking against that barrier.

Poof! A huge, illusory figure appeared before Li Zheng's "eyes".

"What an immense spiritual body!" Li Zheng only took a glance to understand what Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual realm was like.

It's a room resembling a martial arts dojo, with many famous calligraphy paintings hanging on the walls, all related to "sword".

One of the walls even had a calligraphic character almost covering the entire front wall!

The solitary character "sword" was written vigorously, with strokes like dragons and snakes, each rending like a sharp sword, exuding a fierce aura.

"The person who wrote this must be a great master in Sword Dao!" Li Zheng sincerely admired.

At this moment, Zhan Zhouzhou's voice came, curiously asking, "What did you see?"

Li Zheng described what he saw, looking up to find that Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual body had grown so large that it had to curl up to stay inside this dojo.

And he was caught between Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual body and the edge of the dojo.

"You're seeing the dojo we use for teaching in my family, that character was written by my grandfather years ago, my dad thought it looked good, so he hung it in the dojo for apprentices to observe," Zhan Zhouzhou explained.

Li Zheng was full of praise: "Earlier, you told me your father and grandfather's Sword Dao cultivation wasn't bad, I thought you were boasting, but seeing this character, I know you weren't exaggerating. Only a pity..."

He sighed: "The two elders have surpassed the matrix limit of age, or else in the future, they could have been great assistance for us!"

The matter of the final battle was almost known in this little circle, including Zhan Zhouzhou.

"Two old bones, how could they endure such torment?" Zhan Zhouzhou said, "It's better for them to stay outside; if we lose, at least they don't have to suffer like we do before dying."

"I didn't realize you were quite filial," Li Zheng said surprisingly, "I rarely hear you talk about your family, I thought you didn't care about them at all."

"What's the use of mentioning them? After all, we can't go back, talking too much just adds unnecessary worries," Zhan Zhouzhou didn't want to dwell on this topic, asking, "Can I start absorbing the magic crystal energy now?"

"You can, go ahead," Li Zheng concentrated and waited, soon pure white energy strands appeared on the walls of the dojo, merging into Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual body.

After absorbing this energy, the spiritual body didn't continue to enlarge, instead it gradually became smaller while transforming from its previous almost transparent state to becoming more solid.

"This seems similar to the effects when training spiritual power with virtual guidance in the Dark Realm, it all enhances the strength of spiritual power from the sides," Li Zheng observed carefully, thinking to himself, "Zhan Zhouzhou is engrossed in swordsmanship, doesn't pay much attention to spiritual power enhancement, making her spiritual power much more illusory than Mirel and me at the time."

"Huh?" Zhan Zhouzhou remarked in surprise, "The swelling sensation in my forehead is fading, this method actually works!"

"Of course, if it didn't work, would I have told you?" Li Zheng immediately warned, "Don't get distracted, I see energy dispersing wastefully!"

In the instant Zhan Zhouzhou got distracted, several strands of energy penetrated the dojo wall and disappeared without a trace.

Upon hearing Li Zheng say this, she immediately refocused, concentrating on absorbing the magic crystal energy.

Seeing Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual body slowly shrinking, yet the sense of solidity increasing very slowly, Li Zheng thought to himself, "Luckily I stopped her from rushing into the Sin Domain directly, the environment there is too dangerous for her."

Even Mirel found it a little challenging to adapt there after condensing a spiritual power node, strictly speaking, Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual power is even weaker than Mirel's, so he can already predict the outcome if she went there.

As the first white magic crystal was absorbed completely, Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual body shrank by less than one-tenth of its size.

Zhan Zhouzhou felt in good condition, ready to absorb the second twisted magic crystal, but was stopped by Li Zheng: "Wait, is there anything unusual with your spiritual power?"

Zhan Zhouzhou paused, after careful sensing, answered: "There's no strange feeling."

"Oh, then carry on," Li Zheng responded, saying no more.

The twisted magic crystals were absorbed one by one, the spiritual body growing increasingly solid and had already reached the proportion of a normal person.

After absorbing the last white magic crystal, Zhan Zhouzhou said, "This time, I feel the white magic crystal is no longer effective for me, continuing to absorb it would be a complete waste."

"So quickly?" Li Zheng observed Zhan Zhouzhou's spiritual body, at this time she was far below Mirel's level in terms of solidness, he pondered, "Even if I gave her ten more red magic crystals to absorb, it seems she could only reach Mirel's level."

He thought about it, didn't immediately withdraw from the spiritual realm, but said to Zhan Zhouzhou: "Next, let's conduct the second experiment."

Li Zheng wanted to see what would happen if Zhan Zhouzhou condenses a spiritual power node after preemptively absorbing ten white magic crystals.
