Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Jin Zaiyin suddenly knelt down with a clatter, bowing his head and muttering, "Yes... yes!"

The longer he associated with Banquan Longma, the more Jin Zaiyin realized how capricious this person was.

One moment he could be speaking gently and laughing with you, and the next moment he might draw his sword and cut you down.

Banquan Longma asked Li Zheng, "Mr. Li has been showing his Divine Power these days, even Kitajo Akemi fell at your hands. I suppose Mr. Li also has some research on Body Techniques."

"Whether Jin Zaiyin is worthy of the world championship in Sanda, please, Mr. Li, do not hesitate to enlighten us."

On the surface, these words were spoken very appropriately.

But to Li Zheng, they sounded slightly harsh.

It was as if, in Banquan Longma's eyes, Li Zheng and Jin Zaiyin were on the same level, only fit to spar with each other.

There was a sense of condescension.

And yet, when he spoke, his tone was very respectful, leaving Li Zheng no reason to lash out at him.

All Li Zheng could do was ignore him and concentrate on communicating with Lu Li in the group.

After a while, Lu Li said in the group, "Brother Zheng, I have a favor to ask of you."

Calling him 'brother' instead of 'father', everyone in the group knew Lu Li was serious at this moment, not joking.

Li Zheng said, "Given our relationship, let's not talk about favors. If you have something to say, just say it. If I can help, I will definitely help you."

Lu Li said, "I know, Brother Zheng, you are very strong. Jin Zaiyin might not last three moves against you, but I want to ask you to defeat him using techniques in a head-on confrontation."

"Defeat him using techniques?"

"Yes, consider it fulfilling my brother's wish."

Lu Manjiang's wish was surely to honorably defeat Jin Zaiyin in a fair competition.

But he knew this hope was very slim because Jin Zaiyin would never face him honestly, the nature of the Stealing Country is such that they would find any lowly trick in any competitive match.

Even in the later risen electronic sports, there were incidents of unplugging the network cable in global competitions, weren't there?

Li Zheng thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay."

Though Li Zheng only knew Spear Techniques and Swordsmanship, with the physiology of Silver Level, just his neural reaction speed could easily annihilate Jin Zaiyin a thousand times, defeating him bare-handed was no challenge at all.

"Thank you," Lu Li said in the group, "From now on, I, Lu Li, will follow Li Zheng."

"That's too heavy a statement."

Li Zheng closed the group chat, feeling a bit sentimental. He didn't expect Lu Li's intermittent mental illness to have such a backstory.

Although Lu Li was acknowledged as the lowest on the food chain in the group, even Li Chun could tease him a bit, this did not mean everyone really looked down on Lu Li.

On the contrary, everyone actually quite liked him, and sometimes would even cooperate when he was joking around in the group.

After all, who would hate a silly friend in the group?

"Jin Zaiyin." Li Zheng looked at the humbled man from the Stealing Country kneeling before Banquan Longma, speaking indifferently, "I, as an outsider, am not qualified to hold you accountable for your match with Lu Manjiang."

"But as his compatriot, I disapprove of you personally and want to beat you up."

"But it does not mean that after this matter, the issues between you and Lu Manjiang are over; on the contrary..."

"Regardless of win or loss, your Stealing Country and you owe Lu Manjiang an explanation."

"Therefore... Li Zheng of Dragon Country, I've heard Mr. Jin Zaiyin's martial skills are superb, here to seek advice."

"Today, we decide both the victor and life and death!"

With a wave of his hand, he gestured Sakura to step back, as Li Zheng assumed a stance full of openings, staring at Jin Zaiyin.

Banquan Longma said harshly, "Mr. Li has spoken, are you not going?"

"This..." Jin Zaiyin had the mind to refuse, but he felt the gaze locked on his neck, as if the sword would slash down if he dared to say 'no'.

Eventually, after repeatedly weighing the power disparity among the three, he pessimistically realized he was at the bottom, the deadlock was unbreakable, so he could only say bitterly, "Yes!"

He regretted seeking shelter with Banquan Longma, had he known the other party would sell him out so decisively, he'd avoid it even if beaten to death.

In the end, it was greed at work, he thought he could earn good favor by assisting the Banquan mixed breed against Li Zheng, and gain some benefits from Banquan Longma.

Even when Banquan Longma did not show off, he hadn't realized the other's strength could easily crush his, yet dared to boldly urge Banquan Longma to continue retaliating against Li Zheng.

Thinking back, he was simply an idiot!

Perhaps from the beginning to the end, in Banquan Longma's eyes, Jin Zaiyin was nothing but a jumping clown.

In front was the furnace, behind was the chopping block, Jin Zaiyin, like a fish waiting to be slaughtered, knowing his time was short, all he could do was try to die with some dignity.

Clenching his teeth, Jin Zaiyin got up and looked toward Li Zheng, discovering the stance full of flaws, his heart secretly rejoiced.

"A showy pillow, seems this Li Zheng is better at firearms, doesn't know combat, maybe I have a chance!"

Instantly assessing the situation, Jin Zaiyin inexplicably felt calmer, and more composed.

With a cupped fist salute, he slightly bent forward, "Please enlighten me!"

As the words left his mouth, Jin Zaiyin suddenly attacked, charging at Li Zheng and swinging his hand towards the exposed gap.

At this moment, relying on his rich combat experience, countless possible responses from Li Zheng flashed in his mind.

For each response, he prepared a follow-up, ensuring he could suppress Li Zheng, giving him no chance to breathe.

In the Stealing Country, Jin Zaiyin often heard in training, combat was all about "seizing the initiative"!

As long as you make the first move, you can seize the advantage and completely block all the opponent's retreat.

Then with relentless attacks forcing the opponent to defend, trap them in your rhythm, and gain victory by momentum!

With this philosophy, Jin Zaiyin indeed won repeatedly within his country, rarely having rivals among his peers.

Even some veteran experts fell before him, paving stones for his combat career.

Until he met Lu Manjiang!

His battle with Lu Manjiang was unforgettable to Jin Zaiyin to this day.

Especially those bright eyes, spirited and containing an unrivaled arrogance.

It was also the first time Jin Zaiyin failed to "seize the initiative".

Lu Manjiang, with minimal cost, braced his attacks several times, and then reversed to press him down.

Jin Zaiyin would never forget those sharp eyes, always fixed on the opponent whether attacking or defending.

Every counterattack intention was seen through by those eyes, every punch's trajectory was mastered by the opponent.

Many media reported Lu Manjiang somewhat leading in the early match.

But only Jin Zaiyin knew deep inside.

He was completely powerless against Lu Manjiang!

If not for the Stealing Country's official cheating, he was no match for Lu Manjiang, nor would he have been champion of that competition.

After defeating the "eyeless" Lu Manjiang, standing on the podium, Jin Zaiyin felt incredibly complex.

He also thought of refusing victory in such a manner.

But thinking of the immense benefits the championship's honor would bring, he silently accepted.

Countless times in midnight dreams, he recalled those incredibly sharp eyes.

Even upon learning news of Lu Manjiang's suicide, those eyes never left his heart.

He could only deliberately forget.

He thought he would never meet such an opponent again in his life.

Until today, he faced a different pair of eyes.

These were eyes, able to see through everything!

[Daring to keep staring at lofty Master Pu?

Listen to me, beat the sense out of him!

Turn head to the right, punch him in the face!]
