From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 135: Second Move, Skill Core [Metal Strengthening]

Clang!
Early in the morning, the sound of sword practice could be heard from the training room at Qionghua Tianlu Lake.

Last night, Lu Heng had a deep sleep. When he woke up in the morning, he was very energetic. After breakfast, he came over to practice sword.

Due to the previous incident, he defeated a kendo master from the Fuso Kashima Shinto-ryu, which was a slap in the face of this school.

If the swordsman of Kashima Shinto-ryu wants to get back at him, he will most likely come here.

However, the swordsman of the Fuso Kashima Shinto-ryu has been famous for a long time, and he may not really come to issue a challenge.

After all, it would be awkward to challenge a young man who is 30 years older than you, and it would be even more awkward if you lose.

Regardless of whether the head of Kashima Shindō-ryu will come to find him or not, practicing sword skills will definitely not be a bad idea.

Lu Heng’s current swordsmanship level has entered the fourth level of artistic conception.

However, I have only just entered the artistic conception level and have just crossed this threshold. There is still a lot of room for improvement.

In addition, I have only practiced one of the seven-step sword-stepping moves so far.

So Lu Heng started practicing the second variation of the move.

In the previous life, there was actually a variation of the Seven-Section Sword Style that was only half-practiced, and that was a variation of the "Zhenyue Style".

The variations of the Seven-Step Sword Technique are all designed by each person themselves, with the aim of making each person's variations unique.

The second move that Lu Heng figured out on his own was a variation of the "Zhen Yue Style" and he named it "Hui Feng", but it could only be considered half-mastered.

The "Zhen Yue Style" itself is a powerful and heavy chopping move, and the attack is fierce, but it will leave flaws on the left and right sides when the move is launched. If you encounter a master of swordsmanship, you may be able to seize the flaws and counterattack.

Therefore, Lu Heng wanted to use a change of tactics to make up for the flaws of the "Zhen Yue Style", so he came up with this change of tactics called "Hui Feng".

However, when I first imagined this move in my mind, I thought too much about it. When I actually tried to use it, I found it was too difficult.

In the end, I didn't really master it, it could only be considered half mastered, so it was called a half-move change.

Now with the experience and lessons learned from the previous life, I have two choices: redesign the moves or switch to ones that are not so difficult so that I can practice them faster.

Or, just rush over and force yourself to practice this move.

Since this modified move "Returning Wind" is too difficult to perform, Lu Heng also considered how to perform this move.

The answer is that it requires coordination of body movements, and it must be a very high level of body movements.

Because this move "Returning Wind" is a sudden change of moves after the "Zhen Yue Style" is used, cutting out a circle of swirling sword light to seal the flaws on both sides of the body.

In this way, if the opponent wants to attack the flaws on both sides of the body, they will be blocked by the "Return Wind" sword path, achieving the effect of both offense and defense.

The idea is indeed good, but it is too difficult to switch from the "Zhen Yue Style" to the "Hui Feng Style".

After careful consideration, Lu Heng finally decided to practice this "Returning Wind" move.

If it is difficult, then break through the realm of physical skills and practice this trick by force.

We have all been reborn and have the experience of two lives. What's the point if it doesn't become a little more difficult?
……

So, starting from the morning, Lu Heng was in the training room, practicing the "Hui Feng" variation of the "Zhen Yue Style".

He also brought a mechanical tiger over for sparring.

According to Lu Heng's request, the mechanical tiger randomly used its tail to attack the left and right sides after being hit by the "Zhen Yue Style".

The machine language was indeed very mechanical. Lu Heng's instructions were to randomly attack the left and right sides.

The mechanical tiger's attacks were truly random, and there was no visible sign of attack at all. After being chopped by the "Zhen Yue Style", it randomly chose a lucky direction and whipped it with its tail.

At this moment.

Lu Heng began to use the "Returning Wind" technique to slash out a swirling sword light, blocking the mechanical tiger's tail.

Every time the tail collided with the Aurora Blade, it produced a clanging sound of metal clashing.

Every time Lu Heng attacked, he used all his strength, chopping at the mechanical tiger's head, leaving palm-deep sword marks.

However, when the mechanical tiger withstood this level of attack, only its liquid metal shell cracked, and it recovered after a while.

As long as the mechanical core is not damaged, it will be ineffective damage to it.

During the whole afternoon of sparring, Lu Heng only successfully used the "return wind" once.

After finishing the practice, I calmed down and reviewed it, and found that my body movements still hadn’t kept up, just a little bit short.

The current level of physical skills is at the subtle level (1852/3000), which is still some distance away from the next level.

When practicing sparring, not only sword skills are practiced, but also body movements will be improved simultaneously.

The cultivation of basic skills requires laying a solid foundation step by step. There is no shortcut.

When practicing every day, I see my sword skills and body movement proficiency steadily improving, and I feel more and more confident in mastering the "Returning Wind".

Boom!
Another sword struck the mechanical tiger's head, almost breaking half of its head off.

At this moment.

Lin Zeyu came in from outside and saw this scene. He couldn't help but complain: "You are too cruel. How can such a handsome tiger become your sandbag?"

Lu Heng practiced for the whole morning and felt a little tired, so he put away his sword and rested for a while.

The mechanical tiger was hit by the sword, and it only looked a little cruel, but within a few seconds, the liquid metal returned to its original state.

"Are you envious?" Lu Heng retorted casually.

"I'm so jealous! How about taking him out to be a target for me to practice shooting next time?" Lin Zeyu came up with a novel idea.

Anyway, the mechanical tiger can't be hurt by swords and is basically immune to bullets, so it's no big deal to use it as a target.

"Sure. As long as you can run faster than it." Lu Heng looked indifferent.

Lin Zeyu glared and said, "I mean to use it as a target, the kind that can't move." "When I was practicing with it, I didn't make it unable to move. Why do you still restrict it here?" Lu Heng rolled his eyes at it.

The mechanical tiger had intelligent consciousness and understood that Lin Zeyu wanted to use it as a target for fun, so it bared its teeth and let out a roar.

Lin Zeyu trembled and almost fell off the stool: "Pretty fierce!"

"What are you doing in the practice room?" Lu Heng asked.

"I've moved here, and this will be my training room from now on. I can practice boxing and kicking with you when you're free." Lin Zeyu moved his neck, looking like he was going to show off his boxing skills.

"Are you sure?" Lu Heng had a strange expression on his face and looked at him as if he were a sandbag.

……

Bang!
Ah!
With an over-the-shoulder throw, Lin Zeyu fell heavily to the ground, his bones almost falling apart, and then he shouted, "Stop! Stop! I don't want to hit you anymore, you're so heavy-handed."

He rubbed his butt and quickly crawled behind a pillar to hide.

He originally wanted to practice boxing and kicking with Lu Heng to improve his basic fighting skills, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten unilaterally as soon as he started, which was of no help to his fighting training.

However, the ability to withstand blows has steadily improved.

"I only used 20% of my strength." Lu Heng stretched out two fingers.

"I'm about to fall apart. You should practice with the mechanical tiger. That one won't fall apart." Lin Zeyu decisively canceled the invitation to practice.

"I'm tired from fighting, let's go home and eat." Lu Heng moved the joints of his limbs and stretched his muscles, with an expression that showed he had enjoyed the fight.

"Wait a minute, I almost forgot that my proficiency in [Source Energy Flash] is full. Please help me upgrade this skill." Lin Zeyu almost forgot about the important matter.

Lu Heng helped him unlock his skills and allowed him to upgrade his skills on his own.

Lin Zeyu fiddled with it for a long time, then suddenly glared and said, "Something seems wrong. Could the upgrade fail?"

"Yes." Lu Heng nodded seriously.

[Divine Evolution] Unlock the skills and you can indeed use divine energy to upgrade skills, and you can also fuse skills, but there is also the possibility of upgrade failure.

"Fuck! I thought it wouldn't fail. What should I do now?" Lin Zeyu widened his eyes.

"Upgrading failure is not a big problem. Just add twice the amount of divine energy and continue upgrading." Lu Heng reminded.

Lin Zeyu didn't dare to be distracted now, and quickly added twice the amount of divine energy. After a while, he finally succeeded in upgrading: "Okay, it worked this time."

Lu Heng helped him lock the skill and asked, "What is the upgrade like?"

"【Energy Shock Bomb】."

Lin Zeyu answered while looking at the skill introduction: "Huh... the skill effect is much stronger, this one is stronger than the flash bomb."

[Energy Shock Bomb] is indeed very effective. It is a C-level skill after all.

This skill is equivalent to compressing source energy into a stun bomb and throwing it out. Its effect is stronger than a flash bomb.

The "flash bomb" in modern weapons, some people may have seen the effect in the game and thought that the "flash bomb" is really just a flash.

In fact.

The real "flash bomb" is a type of grenade, also called a "stun grenade", "stun grenade", or "stun grenade".

When it explodes, it does emit a strong light that is so bright that people can't open their eyes.

If you look directly at this kind of flash, even if you don't go blind immediately, you will be blind for a long time. Your eyes will be tearful all day long and you won't be able to see clearly.

Not only that, the "stun bomb" is also accompanied by a violent explosion, which makes people dizzy and even faint.

If you are shocked by a "stun bomb" at close range, you can't even continue fighting. It would be considered an extraordinary physique if you can crawl back to your own position.

Therefore, this [Source Energy Shock Bomb] skill is indeed very powerful.

Throw it over and it will explode at close range, directly making the target within the explosion range lose its combat effectiveness.

Of course, the psychics have better physical fitness and stronger resistance to attacks than ordinary people, so when they are affected by stun bombs, they recover faster.

If you are farther away from the explosion point, you can indeed recover your combat effectiveness faster.

Even so, the tactical effect of [Source Energy Shock Bomb] is still very good.

"Not bad. You can consider finding soldiers from the army and practice how to use it." Lu Heng reminded.

"I've been learning it for a long time. Let me tell you, I'm pretty good at throwing grenades." Lin Zeyu looked very proud.

Subsequently.

He took out his laptop, opened the Crystal Core Dark Web, pointed to a transaction message, and said, "Oh, right. I saw a skill crystal core last night. Take a look and see if you want to buy it."

Lu Heng took a look at the name of the skill crystal core and knew what the effect was, without even looking at the specific data.

The skill core sold in this transaction is called [Metal Strengthening].

Lu Heng originally thought that Lin Zeyu was choosing a skill for him, but when he saw the name of the skill, he asked, "Isn't this for you to use?"

"Of course. This skill is useless to me. Can I make the bullet harder?" Lin Zeyu replied as a matter of course.

"If it is used on a mechanical tiger, this skill is indeed very suitable." Lu Heng commented.

"Do you want it? If so, I'll buy it." Lin Zeyu was ready to make the purchase.

"Let me buy it. I have to assemble the skills for this tiger myself." Lu Heng waved at him, went home, and then logged into the crystal core dark web with his laptop at home and chose to buy this [Metal Strengthening] crystal core.

There was no bargaining. The other party offered 800 million for C-level skills, which was a little higher than the market price, but still within a reasonable range.

Moreover, if the skills are suitable, it is worth it to double the price.

Therefore, Lu Heng did not bargain and directly confirmed the purchase. Then he used an offshore bank account to transfer the money to the other party's designated account.
