Chapter 113: Chapter 113: Lu Zhen Advances

For the next few days, Lu Zhen and Leng Pan would ride to the old subway station for training. They would take a few hours everyday to find a place infested with zombies and kill zombies while practicing the use of their superpowers and enhancing their combat strength.

They had realized that the gym wasn’t enough or suitable for them as a training method. However, killing zombies tested their reaction speed, their precision of attacks, the lethal of their attacks, and endurance.

These were important aspects of their personal strength they needed to develop and in just a few days, they had seen significant progress.

They would also collect crystal cores and use them to improve their superpowers. Absorbing crystal cores that correspond to their abilities or attributeless crystal cores increased the density of their superpower.

On this day, Leng Pan and Lu Zhen had just returned to the subway station after a two-hours zombie killing spree and were absorbing crystal cores to recover their strength.

Today they encountered several evolved zombies. These should be some of those zombies who had come into contact with that catalyst core before they took it away.

They had a higher level of strength compared to normal zombies, and had even awakened some abilities.

One of the evolved zombies they had encountered that day could run like the flash. It was so fast that all one could see was a blur.

They were lucky that Leng Pan had the mist barrier that could erode zombies for protection. Otherwise, they might not have survived that day’s training.

Another one had such solid strength that they had to combine strength to barely bring it down.

Since they didn’t want to be completely reliant on their superpowers, they had also been training the strength of their physical bodies, and that day’s attack by a strength-type zombie tested their limits.

They had to fight with their lives on the line to take down that strength-type zombie.

Lastly, there was another zombie that didn’t even have the strength to truss a chicken, however, the most horrifying thing was that it had psychic abilities.

It could command those with weaker mentalities to do their bidding. It had tried to control both Lu Zhen and Leng Pan and have them go to it willingly.

It was obvious that while the two saw zombie crystal cores as a resource that could help them improve their strength, the zombies treat them as nourishment too.

That zombie had planned to devour them so that it could advance its superpower and even be able to control more people and evolved zombies alike.

Fortunately, both Lu Zhen and Leng Pan have strong mentalities and after a brief disorientation, they realized what was happening and attacked the psychic zombie with a long range attack.

This was one of the new duo techniques the two had practiced together. It’s a technique that requires both of them to combine their superpowers and attack together.

Lu Zhen had learned how to compress his fire ability where a small cluster of flames could be compressed into a small ball that if it hits a target, it explodes like a bomb and burns a significantly large area.

This technique not only saves energy, but also saves mental power. This was because the control area is small.

All Lu Zhen had to do was use his mental strength to control the small fire ball to aim at a certain spot and upon contact, it would explode, igniting a larger area.

Moreover, they had discovered that if pressure is added when the ball of fire was launched, the damage would be doubled. The speed of the fire ball will also increase, thus, giving the enemy no chance to escape.

They had been practicing this technique and today, they used it against the spiritual zombie.

Leng Pan created a tight mist tunnel only two meters long while Lu Zhen created a compressed fireball that was launched into the mist tunnel.

As the fire ball passed through the tunnel, the pressure from the mist increased its speed to almost twice its original speed and when it came out of the tunnel, it hit the zombie in the blink of an eye.

The zombie had no chance to flee or defend itself. Moreover, upon contact, the fireball exploded, which ended up not only exploding the psychic zombie, but all the zombies within a ten-meter radius.

Seeing the results of their training, the two husband and wife were overjoyed. If they continue their training, they will certainly have the ability to flatten an even larger area.

Leng Pan thought that if Lu Zhen could also advance to the first level of superpower like her, then such an attack could take out enemies within a radius of at least fifty-meter radius.

After collecting the crystal cores, some of which were larger and shinier than the rest, the two were already exhausted and drained. They rode their motorcycles back to the subway underground warehouse to recover before going home.

In the past few days, their family had gotten used to them leaving early after breakfast and coming back late.

Just as Leng Pan had recovered and was focused on creating a second mimicry of herself, she felt the warehouse surge with heat.

This wasn’t the kind of controlled heat that Lu Zhen usually produces when practicing. Not even the kind that is felt when he uses fire balls to attack, it was a kind of heat that forced her to condense ice walls around herself to prevent herself from getting cooked alive.

Looking through the walls of the transparent ice that was already melting on the outside, Leng Pan saw her husband suddenly catch on fire.

She was so shocked that she stood up so quickly it made her dizzy.

She was about to spray water on the fire to extinguish it when she realized that her husband hadn’t made a sound and was sitting cross-legged on a sofa they had moved there.

He wasn’t burning and didn’t seem to be in pain. What was more, his clothes were still intact and so was the sofa.

It was as if such a hot fire couldn’t burn anything. However, looking at the floor around the sofa that had turned to dust from hard concrete, she knew she was wrong.

That fire could burn concrete and turn it to dust, therefore, it definitely could burn people, clothes, and sofas. Then there was only one reason it hadn’t, Lu Zhen was controlling it.

Thinking of this, Leng Pan sat back down in her little ice box and waited.
