Chapter 577: The Spatial-type Superhuman of Blizzard City
Zhang Yi, accompanied by Baili Changqing, arrived at the changing room.
Lining the wall were a series of lockers. Baili walked over, used his access privileges to retrieve a training suit, and handed it to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi accepted the suit and stepped into one of the stalls.
He carefully inspected the outfit, checking for any hidden devices.
The suit felt uniqueâheavier than regular compression gear and significantly thicker than typical fabric.
Clearly, it was made from some kind of high-tech, specialized material.
âIf I put this on, I bet itâll start recording my personal data too.â
Zhang Yiâs eyes glinted sharply.
âGood thing Iâm not an enhancement-type Superhuman. Itâs no big deal if they collect some physical data. As for my Superhuman Ability dataâI'll just hold back.â
His basic abilities were already on record with the Jiangnan District.
What no one knew was the new combat style heâd awakened after absorbing Yuan Kongyeâs source energy.
That power was his trump cardâno way was he showing it here.
Zhang Yi took off his jacket and put on the tight-fitting suit.
Interestingly, there were no zippers or fasteners. Once it was on, all he had to do was press a button on the right wrist, and the suit sealed itself snugly to his body.
He didnât feel any discomfort at all.
In fact, as he moved around a little, he noticed something strangeâhis body felt more agile, and he seemed physically stronger.
âThis thing actually boosts my stats?â
Zhang Yi said in surprise.
He stepped out of the stall, where Baili Changqing was waiting.
Zhang Yi voiced his question, and Baili chuckled.
âThe training suit is made from the same material as the combat suits we use in the investigation team. We wear them during missions too. They enhance our overall physical capabilities.â
âIn fact, no exaggerationâif a regular person put one on, theyâd have the base-level physique of an Alpha-grade enhancement-type Superhuman.â
Zhang Yi looked down at the training suit on his body, stunned. âYouâre telling me this thing is that amazing?â
Noticing the interest in Zhang Yiâs eyes, Baili smirked and said, âThese training suits are rare. In Blizzard City, only the Yan Yun Forces and the six major investigation teams get to use them.â
âIf you like it, consider joining our Black Robe Squad.â
Zhang Yi curled his lip. âYeah, Iâll pass.â
Baili shrugged, already knowing Zhang Yi wasnât the type who liked being tied down.
âWell then, letâs head to the training arena!â
Zhang Yi replied, âNo rush. I need to hand off my satellite phone for safekeeping.â
The satellite phone held personal secrets. Baili assumed Zhang Yi didnât trust the storage system here and could only smile.
âAlright, youâre seriously cautious, huh?â
Zhang Yi grinned. âBetter safe than sorry. Itâs the little details that decide victory or defeat.â
His words had a double meaning, but Baili didnât pick up on it.
He walked out with Zhang Yi.
Meanwhile, Wu Di was already waiting at the center of the training arena, arms crossed, eyes closed, mentally prepping himself to be in peak condition.
Zhang Yi walked over to Lu Keran and the others and handed her the satellite phone.
âKeran, hold onto this for me.â
With his back to Baili, Zhang Yi shot her a look.
Lu Keran understood instantly and reached out to touch the training suit on his arm.
Zhang Yi chatted casually for a bit, deliberately buying some time.
Once Lu Keran had finished analyzing the suitâs material composition, Zhang Yi turned around and headed for the arena.
âZhang Yi, keep it light, alright? Just a friendly match!â
Baili called out, reminding him.
He was genuinely worried Zhang Yi might go too farâif he used
Divine Power
, he could probably one-shot Wu Di.
Even someone as physically strong as Baili himself couldnât guarantee surviving a direct hit.
And Wu Di? Those skinny arms and legs wouldnât stand a chance.
Zhang Yi waved a hand without looking back, signaling Baili not to worry.
He quickly made his way through the passage and into the training arena.
Baili, Lu Keran, Zhou Keâer, and the others watched from the second floor.
The arena itself was about the size of half a soccer field, shaped like a stadium or an old Roman colosseum.
Surrounding it were multi-level structures that offered a clear view of the fight below.
Zhang Yi stood dozens of meters from Wu Di, scanning the space around them with a frown.
âThis place feels a bit cramped. Not much room to maneuver.â
Battles between high-level Superhumans often caused massive destruction, and this little arena just wouldnât cut it.
Hands in his pockets, Wu Di replied coolly, âOh, you donât have to worry about that.â
Before Zhang Yi could respond, his surroundings suddenly seemed to stretch out.
Wu Di, who had been only dozens of meters away, now appeared several hundred meters off.
The half-field-sized arena had somehow expanded into an area spanning several square kilometers!
Zhang Yi was briefly stunned, then realization dawned.
âA spatial ability?â
This was his first time encountering another spatial-type Superhuman.
Not only did the space expand for Zhang Yi and Wu Diâ
Lu Keran, Zhou Keâer, and the others watching from the second floor also saw the arena grow larger.
But it wasnât so much that the arena expandedâit was more like everything around them had shrunk.
Baili explained to them, âThatâs the administratorâs ability. Itâs called
Training Arena
. A powerful spatial-type ability designed specifically for this purpose.â
In Zhang Yi and Wu Diâs ears, a cold, mechanical voice echoedâ
âTraining match, begin!â
While the match was starting, no one noticed that aside from Zhou Keâer and the rest, there were a few other spectators present.
This arena required high-level clearance. Only investigation team members and Yan Yun officers were authorized to use it.
And battles at this level didnât happen often, even in Blizzard City.
So the moment the arena was activated, it naturally attracted quite a crowd.
One of them was Deng Shentong, captain of the Celestial Squad.
He stood in a third-floor room, watching the two fighters with great interest.
He was more than a little curious about Zhang Yi.
âIf he really manages to beat Wu Di... giving him a shot as a backup in the Celestial Squad might not be a bad idea.â
Leaning on the railing, Deng Shentong narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Behind him stood two members of the Celestial Squadâ
One was a short-haired, burly man with a scruffy beard.
The other, a pale, effeminate man dressed in white.
