From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Lin Zeyu didn't go back to get the material, but directly had it delivered by drivers and continued the quenching process.

Due to four consecutive successes before, Lin Zeyu was very excited now and rubbed his hands vigorously as he watched the quenching furnace.

Lu Heng reminded him, "The higher the quenching level, the higher the failure rate, you need to think it through."

"I know, I know. If all attempts were successful, I'd be afraid I'd use up all my luck here and have bad luck elsewhere. Just go for it, I can handle one or two failures, as long as the spirit injection doesn't fail," Lin Zeyu stated calmly.

Lu Heng restarted the furnace and began the quenching process on the SVD sniper rifle.

The quenching sequence was going well, but when it came to integrating the quenching material with the rifle body, it did not merge and caused the quenching to fail.

Quenching Master Professional Experience +20 points.

Lu Heng frowned, recalling his recent operations and considering what adjustments could be made.

Lin Zeyu was not upset at all, expressing a demeanor that implied this was to be expected, "Good, it finally failed. Now I'm relieved. Keep going, don't stop."

Lu Heng continued quenching and, learning from the previous experience, succeeded in the second attempt.

Then there were three consecutive successes, and when it came time for spirit injection, he reached the highest level of concentration.

Seeing the process of spirit injection come to an end, Lin Zeyu rubbed his hands and anxiously asked, "How did it go? How did it go?"

Lu Heng took out the SVD sniper rifle, looked at it, and handed it over saying, "See for yourself."

Lin Zeyu took the sniper rifle, glanced at it, and his entire body cells vibrated with excitement, shouting several times, "YES! YES! Lu Heng, you are the god among quenching masters! That crappy He Shangyong, let him eat shit."

SVD Sniper Rifle Quenching Level reached Level 6.

[SVD Sniper Rifle +6 (Abyss Integration)]

[Item Level: B]

[Attribute: Attack Power 540]

[Special Effects: Bone Erosion, Wind Resistance]

[Wind Resistance: Reduces wind drag by 50%, slowing down the attenuation speed of attack power during the bullet's flight.]

At this stage, this rifle was terrifyingly powerful.

The additional invisible effect from [Wind Resistance]also indirectly increased the bullet's speed and, consequently, its accuracy.

This rifle might be Blue Star's first weapon with dual special effects and could fetch any price at auction, likely fiercely contested by the level 33 families of the ASE Alliance.

Now brimming with confidence, Lin Zeyu, who had recently felt weak and complained to Lu Heng, held the B-level sniper rifle and wanted nothing more than to burst out in wild laughter.

Next, Lu Heng began the spirit injection on the Aurora Blade.

Injecting [Sharp Blade]spirit essence, melting, sublimating, injecting...

The process bathed the Aurora Blade in a soft glow.

[Spirit Injection Successful, Aurora Blade gains new effect "Sharp Blade".]

[Aurora Blade +7 (Abyss Integration)]

[Item Level: C]

[Specifications: Length 132 cm, Blade Width 3.6 cm, Weight 1.6 kg]

[Attribute: Attack Power 150]

[Special Effects: Spirit Slash, Sharp Blade]

[Sharp Blade: Exclusive effect for bladed weapons, improves the sharpness of the weapon, weapon attack power +50 points, increases destruction power against hard materials by 30%.]

Another weapon with dual special effects!

The [Sharp Blade] effect directly added 50 points to attack power, incredibly fierce.

Moreover, it allowed the melee weapon to benefit from the user's strength bonus.

If the Aurora Blade had been this powerful back at the Evil God's Burial Ground, it could have exploded the Winged Demon Commander Sagers with a single strike.

"How is it?" Lin Zeyu hurried over to watch.

"Not bad. Probably one of the only dual-effect weapons in Blue Star," Lu Heng did not brag too much.

After examining the attributes of the Aurora Blade, Lin Zeyu praised it, "This sword can instantly kill anyone it encounters. With these two divine weapons, who should we fear?"

He turned to look at Su Muyu and teased, "Look at Su Muyu's expression, she's completely envious."

Su Muyu furrowed her brows and glared, "I am not!"

Lu Heng flicked her forehead and said, "Next time, I'll upgrade your crossbow."

"I'm in no rush. I'm a support, so upgrading weapons isn't a high priority for me," Su Muyu said, but deep down, she was very happy.

It was the third month of the Abyss invasion, and she had already reached level 19 as a superpower user, standing at the top of the pyramid among first-tier superpower users.

Thus, she was quite satisfied with her current combat power.

"Alright, today's weapon enhancement was very successful. Let's leave it at that, go back and rest, and we'll regroup when the officials issue a bounty."

Coming out of Quenching Castle, Lu Heng and Su Mutyu went back to Jinxiu Imperial View together.

Lin Zeyu headed back to Blue Sea International but took a slight detour to drop Lu Heng and his companion off at the main entrance of Jinxiu Imperial View.

A few days ago, Lin Zeyu had someone purchase the large flat unit in Jinxiu Imperial View and had successfully become Lu Heng's landlord.

He also used another communication channel to add Lu Heng as a friend under the guise of being the landlord, infiltrating Lu Heng's social circle.

Lu Heng did not expect Lin Zeyu to be so "sly"; he thought the landlord had changed his number.

After returning to Jinxiu Imperial View, Lu Heng inquired about Su Muyu's skill proficiency.

"Um, the proficiency of the Invisibility Veil is fully trained. Should I upgrade this skill now?" Su Muyu always adhered to the principle of saving whenever possible and was conservative in using divine energy.

Hearing that she had fully trained a skill, Lu Heng smiled and complimented her, "You've trained quite fast. The invisibility skill indeed needs an upgrade. Let's upgrade it now. This invisibility skill is a bit low-level; it won't be very effective against Perceivers with detection abilities."

Su Muyu was a Perception System superpower user herself, and her range for detecting invisibility was 8× her perception.

Her current perception was 41 points, which meant her range for detecting invisibility extended up to 328 meters.

This range was enough to detect invisible units from atop a hundred-story skyscraper to the ground.

In other words, using her own detection skill against her invisibility skill, the latter was practically ineffective.

Lu Heng used the "Divine Evolution" Talent to unlock the "Invisibility Veil·Escape Shadow" skill lock for her, allowing her to upgrade the skill.

Su Muyu channeled 300 points of divine energy into the skill slot, merging it with the original energy group.

More than ten minutes later, the skill upgrade was completed.

She glanced at the effects of the upgraded skill, a hint of delight appearing in her eyes.

[Large Invisibility Curtain·Escape Shadow]

[Skill Level: C]

[Skill Consumption: 5 Source Energy points/minute]

[Skill Range: 30-meter diameter]

[Skill Effect 1: Releases energy to create an invisibility veil that covers objects, achieving an optical invisibility effect while also blocking odors and infrared sensing.]

[Skill Effect 2: Invisibility effect gains detection resistance; detection resistance factor = 6× perception.]

"The upgrade was successful, now it's a large invisibility curtain. The range has expanded to 30 meters, much larger than before, and it even includes a new detection resistance effect." Su Muyu briefly explained the effects after the upgrade.

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng commented, "The effect is powerful, the invisibility coverage is even larger than I anticipated, it will be very useful for our next plan."

The original [Invisibility Veil] could only cover a diameter of two meters, essentially enough to keep one person in an invisible state.

Now, with the extended range of 30 meters, a whole building could be made to disappear from sight.

...

After comprehensively enhancing weapons, skills, and class abilities, Lu Heng quietly waited for the Corpse Bone Bird to appear.

As expected, more and more marine creature carcasses started appearing off the East Sea.

Ships at sea started capturing footage of the Corpse Bone Bird, causing a sensation.

The news was vying to report on this terrifying creature spotted above the sea, dubbing it the "Corpse Bone Bird."

Since this terrifying creature had wings and an exoskeleton covering its body, and it fed on large marine creature carcasses, reporters naturally came to call it the "Corpse Bone Bird."

However, from a biological standpoint, this creature had nothing to do with birds.

This terrifying creature, over 30 meters in length, could fly in the sky and would kill any large marine creature it encountered.

There were even instances of ships being attacked.

Not long after the Corpse Bone Bird appeared, the authorities issued a bounty.

Meanwhile, the authorities also designated the area of the sea where the Corpse Bone Bird appeared as a hazardous zone, ceasing all shipping routes within.

Later, the authorities dispatched drones to scour the sea surface, but they could not find the Corpse Bone Bird.

The Corpse Bone Bird had appeared suddenly and disappeared just as abruptly, leaving no one aware of the whereabouts of this terrifying creature.

Considering its body length of 30 meters, it was indeed very large.

But, in the vast expanse of the ocean, finding this creature was not going to be easy.

When Lin Zeyu saw the news photo of the Corpse Bone Bird, he immediately called Lu Heng:

"It's appeared, it's the Corpse Bone Bird, just as we predicted. This thing also looks terrifying. The authorities have issued a bounty. When are we heading out?"

He was already impatient, eager to test out the power of the double special effect SVD sniper rifle.

Lu Heng asked calmly, "Have you found the people you were looking for?"

"The Huan Yu Security Company is under my family's control. You can pick any superpower bodyguard from the company. If none satisfy you, you can also rent from other security companies," Lin Zeyu replied.

"Okay, we'll go over and review the personnel data tomorrow," Lu Heng said before hanging up the phone.

The next morning.

Lin Zeyu drove over, picking up Lu Heng and Su Muyu, and they headed to Huan Yu Security Company.

A month and a half ago, when the Abyss Tide Worms had rampaged across Gardenia Beach.

Lin Zeyu had driven a yacht, leading a group of superpower users hunting the Abyss Tide Worms on the sea.

Subsequently, his family directly purchased a security company, renamed it Huan Yu Security, and began recruiting a large number of superpower security personnel.

Now, the number of superpower users registered with Huan Yu Security Company had already surpassed 200.

These superpower bodyguards had different contracts.

Some worked at the company, some were only registered and didn't work at the company daily, they were only notified to gather for tasks when needed.

Yesterday, when Lu Heng said he wanted to pick people, Lin Zeyu informed all the superpower bodyguards to come to the company to assemble and await the leaders' inspection.
