Infinite Fighting

Chapter 292 Cosplaying an Old Friend

After obtaining the first fragment, Zhang Ji did not rush to the second fragment.

He planned to collect all the fighting techniques in this world that were reflected in the rules of the universe's spacetime, learn them all, and then understand the effects of the cosmic treasure in his hands.

The learning process goes without saying; you can simply throw gold at them, or even use force to coerce them into demonstrating their respective fighting skills.

For seven consecutive days, Zhang Ji traveled to various parts of the Shang Kingdom and learned all thirteen fighting techniques in total.

Overall, none of them are particularly advanced or special.

In other words, the real key lies in the cosmic treasure itself.

Zhang Ji held a plate of roast duck rice he had recently bought in the city, eating it while pondering.

Come to think of it, he's been observing that cosmic treasure for quite some time.

Aside from not inputting any energy into it, I've basically looked at everything I can see and observed it countless times with my mind, but I still haven't figured out its specific situation.

Zhang Ji was still a bit clueless about what this thing did and how to activate it.

The best research approach right now is to try injecting some energy into it.

However, in the storyline that Zhang Ji knew, this thing would be activated and disappear if too much energy was injected into it, breaking through space and time. So he didn't plan to do that for the time being, and instead planned to do more research and try injecting a little more energy.

Just then, Zhang Ji stopped.

He was currently located under a secluded bridge arch, with vehicles passing by rapidly above and some figures vaguely hidden in the pitch-black environment below.

Zhang Ji finished the rest of the roast duck rice in two bites, threw away the trash, and then said, "Let's come out together."

Almost as soon as Zhang Ji finished speaking, the lights below lit up, and figures appeared one after another.

Fully armed government personnel, carrying submachine guns, and sniper rifles aimed at them from a distance.

These weapons were meaningless to Zhang Ji.

Even when it first arrived, it only caused him a little trouble at most.

Not to mention that he has now found the key to unleashing his own power, and not just one.

"We've finally waited for you guys. Your reaction was too slow," Zhang Ji said, shaking his head.

Zhang Ji's ostentatious collection of fighting techniques was, of course, a preparation for being discovered by the Shang Kingdom's officials.

He was even waiting for the other party to come to him.

However, whether it was due to information lag or their excessive vigilance, they continued to observe.

They only came knocking now.

Opposite Zhang Ji, a man in protective clothing and a helmet stepped forward, flashed his identification, and said, "Mr. Zhang, my name is Li Yangxi, and I belong to the Countermeasures Bureau of Shangguo. My position is Deputy Director. We have no intention of harming you, but your actions have seriously threatened national security and social stability. I hope you can cooperate with us in our investigation. With your capabilities, if you were willing, you could certainly make a great contribution to the country and the world, instead of being as lost as you are now."

Although Li Yangxi said he didn't want to hurt Zhang Ji, he was actually the one who was worried about being hurt.

As Zhang Ji had guessed, they had been observing him for a long time, but Zhang Ji moved too fast across the map, and it wasn't until now that they had gathered enough strength to intercept him.

In their accounts, Zhang Ji was practically a superman.

It can carry several tons of gold and walk around at will, its running speed can reach supersonic speeds, and it can even take and retrieve supplies out of thin air, possessing a certain spatial ability.

However, they felt that Zhang Ji seemed very confused, as if he was constantly searching for something.

Based on Zhang Ji's frequent travels to famous martial arts schools and sects, they made a bold guess.

Perhaps Zhang Ji is a cultivator who accidentally fell into a deep sleep or was sealed away in ancient times and survived to the present day. He is now looking for fellow cultivators, but unfortunately, he seems to have not found even half of them, and appears very lost and lonely.

It sounds far-fetched, but it's the most likely thing they think is going to happen.

After all, who can say for sure what happened in history?
Who can guarantee that all those legends and myths are false?
If a few exceptional cases were truly ahead of evolution, like shooting stars streaking across the sky, leaving behind some ambiguous records in history, they would probably just become legends and myths.

Therefore, they made this analysis and profile of Zhang Ji.

"confused?"

Zhang Ji felt that the other party might have misunderstood something, but he couldn't read their thoughts and didn't know the specifics.

"Regardless of what you think, arrange a plane for me to go to Betz as soon as possible," Zhang Ji said.

"We don't have that kind of authority."

Lee Yang-hee tried to stall for time.

His current order is to bring Zhang Ji back to assist in the research as much as possible.

Zhang Ji wanted to leave, and naturally he didn't want to.

Faced with Li Yangxi's reaction, Zhang Ji had nothing to say. He took a step, and the ground beneath him suddenly exploded.

"Boom~!"

In an instant, Zhang Ji had arrived beside Li Yangxi.

The next moment, numerous guns were aimed at Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji remained calm and instead drew the gun from Li Yangxi's waist.

"Don't fire, Mr. Zhang. Don't be impulsive!!" Li Yangxi said cautiously, sweat beading on his forehead.

"I'll cosplay an old friend for you."

Zhang Ji smirked, pointed the gun at his temple, and pulled the trigger. "Bang!"

As the bullet left the barrel, Zhang Ji extended his left hand and gently pinched the bullet with two fingers, completely dissipating its kinetic energy.

Under the illumination of the surrounding searchlights, this scene was clearly presented to everyone's eyes, including those of the Shang Kingdom's high-ranking officials.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

I've never heard of anyone who has mastered martial arts to this level.

Even martial artists who can punch through cement bricks are still mortals, and bullets can penetrate their defenses.

Zhang Ji's performance was even more exaggerated than simply taking bullets head-on.

The responsiveness and resilience of the skin are beyond imagination.

Zhang Ji returned the gun to Li Yangxi, who was still a little dazed. As if he had just thought of something, Zhang Ji added, "Oh, by the way, of all martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken."

This ambiguous statement made the air inexplicably colder.

No one understood Zhang Ji's humor.

Nobody knows what meme he's using.

I reckon only Giles here could handle it a little.

"Mr. Zhang's level of understanding is extraordinary, I admire him! I admire him!!" Li Yangxi said indifferently.

"Can we prepare the plane now?" Zhang Ji asked.

“Yes, of course!” Li Yangxi replied immediately.

He had already received orders from above that Zhang Ji's request could be granted.

"Don't worry, although I believe in the survival of the fittest, I also like sustainable development. Generally speaking, I won't ask for help for nothing. In return, I can give you an (epic) level martial art." Zhang Ji said as he walked, "It means that as long as you are willing to practice, there is a chance that you will reach my current level of martial arts in the future, understand?"

"Cultivation methods?" Li Yangxi asked subconsciously, following Zhang Ji.

"You can understand it that way. You can call it a fighting technique, a martial art, a training method, or even a cultivation technique. They're all evolutionary skills, just different names," Zhang Ji said calmly.

As he spoke, he confidently got into Li Yangxi's car.

As Li Yangxi got into the car, he listened to the voice in his earpiece and asked Zhang Ji, "Mr. Zhang, your journey to Betz is long and to a foreign land. Is there anything we can do to help you? For example, perhaps provide you with a translator, or some Betz currency?"

He was quite articulate, directly referring to Betz as a foreign land and subtly categorizing Zhang Ji as one of his own.

Then, instead of asking Zhang Ji the purpose of his trip to Betz, she asked him if there was anything she could help him with.

However, Zhang Ji could tell the difference immediately upon hearing it.

He didn't care and said bluntly, "I'm going to rob something, so you'd better not follow me. Otherwise, if the two countries go to war, that's your own business. But after I get the stuff, I might go to the Sith Kingdom again. You can prepare some transportation for me then. I don't really like running around the map myself; it's too boring."

Zhang Ji's current combined power in this world has reached the A-level.

The map exploration speed is definitely not slow.

However, just as he said, running around the map by himself is too boring.

Why should someone else take a plane to help them get around? They can just sit inside, drink a beverage, eat roast duck rice, and get to their destination.

When Zhang Ji said he was going to rob something, Li Yangxi didn't dare to respond for a moment. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Our two countries have frequent exchanges and some friendship. Mr. Zhang, what you need, perhaps we don't need to rob it. Can we trade it through some more peaceful means?"

“They’ve already benefited, they won’t give it to you,” Zhang Ji said, shaking his head.

In the Shang Kingdom, the use of the fragments of the secret treasure was limited to creating some (ordinary) level fighting techniques using the spilled energy of the secret treasure, and then basically no one researched or used them anymore.

However, in the kingdoms of Bez and Sith, they used the fragments to create a lot of advanced technology and superhuman beings.

Although the upper limit is only around D-rank one or two, it's similar to the fighting techniques in the Shang Kingdom.

But in this world without magic, it is already quite ahead of its time.

So asking them to hand it over would be challenging their bottom line.

The people of Bez would never agree to that.

After exchanging casual conversations with Li Yangxi, Zhang Ji and his group quickly arrived at the nearby airport.

With the mobilization of national resources, a private flight was arranged for Zhang Ji, and Li Yangxi followed along.

The entourage also included several chefs who were particularly good at making roast duck rice, each with their own unique style.

Zhang Ji was quite satisfied with the senior management of Shang Guo.

He immediately tossed out a few books and said, "Take these and hand them in."

Although this world isn't particularly rich in resources, producing a few A-rank characters is still quite easy.

If we include all the stars in that area of ​​the night sky, it's even possible to get two SSS-level characters.

Of course, the premise is that they can innovate on the methods given by Zhang Ji and keep evolving step by step within the permission of the universe's rules until they step into the realm of spacetime.

It's not that it's impossible, but Zhang Ji felt that without the [Limit], he would be completely at a loss.

The probability of these locals reaching that level is even lower, so low that it would take tens of trillions of years for them to even have a slight chance of touching the threshold of S-level.

As for going further?
Zhang Ji felt there was no need to calculate anymore.
