Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 361 Flesh
Zheng Zha's hands were enveloped in terrifying heat, and the distortion of the air could be seen from a distance.

At first glance, he seemed unremarkable, as if he had only used physical strength.

The clone Zheng Zha threw a punch, but Zheng Zha struck his wrist with one palm and narrowly blocked the clone Zheng Zha's next punch with the other palm.

The pain made Zheng Zha take a step back, but when the heatwave broke out, the clone Zheng Zha was unable to continue the pursuit... It wasn't time to fight to the death regardless of his injuries yet.

"Such strong physical strength..." Zheng Zha chuckled softly, "I wonder what it would be like if you faced off against Mu Xiang."

The clone Zheng Zha flicked his wrist: "Your understanding of combat isn't bad either... Looks like you've studied it specifically, right?"

"Mu Xiang and the others will teach me some things... Although I don't do much hand-to-hand combat, it's still very useful." Zheng Zha smiled, pushed off the ground with one foot, and charged forward again.

The clone Zheng Zha was faster than him, dodging twice to brush past Zheng Zha's hands. Although the terrifying heat caused him a sharp pain, he wasn't actually hit. He threw a punch, incredibly fast, which struck Zheng Zha's chest before Zheng Zha could react.

Zheng Zha grunted and spat out a mouthful of red flame, forcing the clone Zheng Zha to dodge to the side.

"Unfortunately, Zhao Zhuikong is the only one in our team who can teach me, but he won't teach me these things..." the clone Zheng Zha said helplessly. "Chu Xuan doesn't plan to let me learn these things either. He said that my strength is far from the point where I need skills to continue to improve."

Zheng Zha asked doubtfully, "What if you encounter someone stronger than you? Wouldn't you get beaten up?"

“I think so too.” The clone Zheng Zha sighed. “In that case, I’ll have to increase my power through other means.”

The next moment, he was in front of Zheng Zha, and a simple, unadorned punch landed straight on Zheng Zha's face.

"I knew you were going to play dirty tricks..." Zheng Zha chuckled, and the space in front of him distorted, bursting out bursts of compressed red flames.

These crimson flames bloomed like red lotuses before the clone Zheng Zha's fist, and in the dazzling explosion, the clone Zheng Zha's punch was also stopped.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zheng Zha launched a flying kick, the intense heat striking the clone's abdomen. The clone groaned; clearly, the heat wasn't just affecting the surface. This kick had injected crimson flames into his body… and these flames were probably only 30% Zheng Zha's own, the remaining 70% being his own vampire energy!
"Such powerful energy control techniques..." the clone Zheng Zha murmured, "Although our vampire energies share the same origin, your energy level is higher than mine... With your skills, you were able to make my vampire energy surge, which actually helped you!"

Zheng Zha, having already used the momentum to lean back, waved his hand dismissively, saying, "What's that called? There's a sequence to learning, and everyone has their own area of ​​expertise… You study power, I study energy; we both have bright futures." The clone Zheng Zha, however, said solemnly, "I've learned a lot. After entering the fourth tier, I thought I wouldn't experience that feeling of suppressed energy anymore… Although I follow the path of power, the vampire bloodline doesn't offer much advantage in physical strength; it also relies on energy. I thought my control over energy was quite good, but you've taught me a lesson."

Zheng Zha touched the bridge of his nose: "I wouldn't dare say that you could suppress me in the last lesson... Since you're not as good as me in energy manipulation, then make better use of your strength advantage!"

"If you transform energy into power, I cannot easily interfere."

The clone Zheng Zha looked at him across from him: "Back then, the captain of the Demon Team was a high-level third-tier vampire enhancer. He completely suppressed my vampire energy... Even in the battle when I stepped into the third tier, I suffered some losses because of this. But now it seems that his mastery of vampire energy is ultimately based on his high-level bloodline. Compared to you, he is not even worthy of carrying your shoes."

“Hehe, I also benefited from the high-level bloodline…” Zheng Zha waved his hand, “Let me see your mastery of power.”

The clone Zheng Zha shook his head: "Such humility is unnecessary... Judging from your bloodline, you should be a double-A grade vampire prince, but in fact, it's not difficult to complete your bloodline to double-A grade after entering the fourth tier. That's your own talent. Otherwise, how could your vampire energy be several levels stronger than mine?"

As he spoke, he looked at Zheng Zha seriously: "As expected of my true self, you have your own path... So, any more petty squabbles would be disrespectful to both you and me. Just watch my power!"

A red line lit up from the middle of his forehead, then spread down, turning into countless branches that flowed over his shoulders and neck, and then covered his entire body... Even though he was wearing a black bodysuit, the red light still shone through.

"When I killed those breeders, I was only relying on my third-tier gene lock and vampire bloodline skills... When I was trying to break the energy suppression of my former captain, I simulated Chu Xuan's thinking and came up with this method." The clone Zheng Zha said in a deep voice, "I transformed the easily suppressed vampire energy into something like blood and integrated it into my body to provide stronger support for my physical body."

"Due to the difference in bloodline, my vampire energy will certainly be interfered with by him... but he's not truly suppressing my bloodline. If I channel my energy into my body, can he still interfere with my physical body?!"

As the clone Zheng Zha spoke, his voice boomed like thunder, and his muscles swelled... As the vampire energy spread, his second-tier gene lock naturally opened!
The next moment, the burly man charged over at an extremely disproportionate speed, his fist tearing through the air, and with a loud bang, the fist had already reached Zheng Zha's chest!
Zheng Zha's expression also turned serious. How could he not see how powerful this move was... In fact, energy enhancing the physical body is almost a universal rule, but how great are the differences in the amplification of the physical body by different energies?
Vampire energy differs from other energies directly related to the physical body, such as battle qi and internal force. If a vampire enhancer doesn't exchange for skills, they probably won't be able to mobilize vampire energy when battle qi or internal force users pour it into their fists.

That's why Zheng Zha was dragged by Mu Xiang to exchange for the Crimson Flame so early on, and later by others like Fen Ye, he gradually found a way to transform vampire energy into Crimson Flame, and then created a series of techniques of his own. At that time, he also discovered that the amplification of the body by vampire energy was easier to manifest, but compared to energy attacks like the Crimson Flame, it seemed to be just an add-on.

With Mu Xiang around, why would Zheng Zha still cling to a minor benefit?

However, this clone seems to have incorporated vampire energy into his blood system, thus amplifying this benefit... In terms of power, it is definitely no less than Zheng Zha of the same period!
