From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 207: The Chasm-like Gap, Obtaining the Crystal Core

"How is it possible..." There was a voice in Zhuo Hongjun's heart muttering to himself, his eyes full of unwillingness and sinisterness.

Just a few minutes ago, when he asked his superior general for permission to go into battle, he was so confident that he could capture Alex Austin before anyone else arrived as long as he took action.

However, when he actually fought with Alex Austin, he discovered how difficult it was to deal with this Thunder God of War from the White Eagle Federation.

He had a high opinion of himself and never took anyone seriously, but after fighting with Alex Austin, he had to admit that Alex Austin's strength was far beyond his imagination.

He didn't even have a chance to fight back and was completely overwhelmed.

If Alex Austin hadn't evacuated quickly and held out for another dozen rounds, he might even have been killed.

It is precisely because Alex Austin's fighting power is too terrifying,
When Lu Heng rushed over, he was still convinced in his heart that Lu Heng was definitely no match for Alex Austin.

Sometimes, human nature is just so despicable.

The moment Lu Heng appeared, he wanted to see Lu Heng suffer a miserable defeat.

That way, his loss to Alex Austin wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Even if this causes the enemy country's psychics to escape, it doesn't matter.

He just wanted to see Lu Heng suffer a crushing defeat, and didn't even care about the damage to national interests.

However, when Lu Heng took action, the situation changed.

Although Lu Heng also retreated and dodged at the beginning to avoid Alex Austin's fierce attack.

However, after only dodging three times, the counterattack came like a landslide or tsunami.

A sharp sword light destroyed Alex Austin's solid wall, and then broke through the sound barrier, creating five consecutive sonic booms. Every time a sonic boom sounded, it killed a White Eagle mutant.

That terrifying fighting power made him feel suffocated.

All the White Eagle psychics who are able to be sent to carry out the mission of stealing scientific and technological information are at the top of the pyramid.

However, a psychic of this level couldn't even block a sword in front of Lu Heng.

This terrifying gap in combat power made Zhuo Hongjun feel deeply jealous and unwilling.

He couldn't accept the fact that he had been trained as an elite since he was a child.

After the abyss descended, he had the power to back him up, and he got the top resources. Every skill crystal core he absorbed was above level B.

Countless psychics would try their best to fight for a C-level skill, but in his eyes, he wouldn't even look at a C-level skill.

When he first met Lu Heng at the special training base, he didn't take Lu Heng seriously at all.

A supernatural being of ordinary origin, if he were to go to another place, he wouldn't even be qualified to talk to him.

Such a seemingly ordinary psychic can wield a sonic boom sword that is so dazzling.

Alex Austin, who had suppressed him to the point where he had no chance to fight back, was just a weakling who could be killed with just one sword in front of Lu Heng.

The gap was so big that he couldn't accept it.

This feeling of frustration was like a sharp blade, cutting his fragile self-esteem.

……

Lu Heng killed five enemy spies without even looking back at Zhuo Hongjun. He bent down to pick up the two star shields and thunder hammer that fell on the ground and put them into the inventory.

Both of these weapons are A-grade. How can we miss such good forging materials?

After the battle was over, reinforcements from Jian Qing and other teams arrived.

Jian Qing controlled the wind and floated down from the sky. When she arrived, she found that the battle was already over.

She was not slow. The moment she received the order, she used the wind to fly over.

It's just that her original ambush site was a little far away, so it delayed her a little.

When we arrived, the battle was already over.

It’s not that she is too slow, but that Lu Heng is too fast.

The five-sound explosive sword killed five people instantly. From the first sound of the explosion to the end of the last sound, it took less than ten seconds in total.

When Jian Qing flew to the surface of the river, she also saw Lu Heng using two sonic boom swords.

It really flashed twice, and two sonic boom clouds appeared, and the opponent was chopped and flew away.

The kinetic energy of the sword light slashed out at supersonic speed was terrifying, so the opponent's body, which was broken into two pieces, was really spinning out, with blood all the way. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

After Jian Qing landed, she sighed, "It's been just over two months since we last fought the Flame Demon together. I can't understand how fast your combat power is increasing."

Lu Heng smiled at her and said, "You are also promoted very quickly."

Jian Qing is now a captain. At this age, she can be promoted to captain. If she is promoted again, she will be a major.

Hearing the two people bragging about each other's business, Zhuo Hongjun felt even more disappointed and his face became terribly gloomy.

Moreover, the competition for the [Damage Backtracking] crystal core has also been decided.

The rule set at the beginning was that whoever caught Alex Austin would be given the crystal core.

The result was obvious, and even generals were present and witnessed it all.

This made Zhuo Hongjun feel even more uncomfortable. He was completely embarrassed in front of everyone.

He could even imagine what kind of scolding he would receive when he returned home.

From childhood to adulthood, he received the best education, and when the abyss came, he got the best resources.

Every time the Abyss Battlefield calls for troops, special-powered warriors with the same call-up countdown will be transferred from the troops in various major war zones to enter the Abyss Battlefield with him.

He entered the Abyss Battlefield four times in total and received world mission rewards three times.

He was so proud in his heart that he thought he had already stood in the position of the strongest human being.

However, when facing Alex Austin, he felt a huge gap.

The White Eagle Thunder God of War, who has such terrifying combat power, is vulnerable in front of Lu Heng.

At this moment, the pride in his heart was trampled on the ground and ruthlessly trampled.

……

Lu Heng never paid attention to Zhuo Hongjun. After making sure that the five enemy spies were dealt with, he crossed the river with Jian Qing to check on You Zhanyu. You Zhanyu was used as bait to lure out the enemy spies, so even if he was making amends, he still needed to be brought back for trial.

However, when Lu Heng found You Zhanyu, he discovered that he had already kneeled under the pier of Jingshui Bridge and had committed suicide by shooting himself.

As he said before, he was free.

He fell into the abyss and embarked on the path of a betrayer with no way back.

He betrayed his original beliefs, betrayed his motherland, and betrayed the glory he once had.

He didn't want to continue to degenerate like this, but he had no choice.

And death is the only choice he can make to put an end to all the crimes he has committed.

If his death can leave behind something, it is a warning to future generations.

Traitors are doomed to have no way back.

Lu Heng is aware of this, but other psychics at this point in time may not have this awareness.

……

The mission was completed, the stolen hard drive was recovered, and an ambush was designed to ambush the enemy spy.

The only thing that made the superior officers unhappy was that Lu Heng was too heavy-handed and left no one alive.

This makes it impossible to obtain a confession.

A few days later, Lu Heng received his third medal, this time a second-class merit.

If we only look at the recovery of the hard drive and the ambush of the enemy spy, it is worthy of first-class merit.

However, Lu Heng had won first-class merit twice, and the value of this merit was slightly lower than the previous two times, so he was finally awarded second-class merit.

It was Jian Qing who presented the medal.

When she put the medal on Lu Heng, she said with emotion: "At this rate, your medals will surpass mine."

Although she also participated in the operation this time, she did not make much personal contribution, so she only received a second-class group merit.

"Also, the skill crystal core you asked for. In addition, the rewards promised by the organization before still count. You can make requests at any time. You can ask for anything, as long as the country can fulfill it." Jian Qing opened the box, took out the [Damage Backtracking] crystal core, and officially delivered it.

Lu Heng held the crystal core, raised it and said, "I didn't mean to steal it from you."

Jian Qing waved her hand and said, "Do you think I'm so stingy? Besides, I know clearly that if you don't take the crystal core, it won't come into my hands. Some things are destined from the beginning."

After giving away the medals and crystal cores, she said goodbye and left.

Lu Heng held the crystal core and released a bolt of lightning, decomposing the crystal core into energy and absorbing it into his body.

A few minutes later, the crystal core energy condensed into an energy ball in the fifth skill slot.

The fifth skill [Damage Backtracking] appeared on the data panel.

Finally got five skills.

Think about it, when I just awakened, I only had three skill slots, and now it has increased to five, the improvement speed is very good.

Lu Heng checked the combat power data instantly.

【Name: Lu Heng】

[Level: Level 28]

[Qi and blood: 640/640]

[Source energy: 650/650]

【属性：力量64、敏捷82、体质64、精神65、感知64】

[Talent: Agile as a Dragon, Divine Evolution, Demon Hunter]

[Combat Class: Shadow Swordsman (Second Job)]

[Source Ability: Shadow Walk, Rift Slash]

[Number of skill slots: 5]

[Skills: Thunder Prison, Shadow Clone, Wind Walker, Bullet Time, Damage Backtracking]

[Martial Arts: Swordsmanship (artistic level), Fighting (proficient level), Body Movement (artistic level)]

[Secondary occupation: Senior Quencher, Forging Assistant]

When checking [Shadow Clone], I saw that the skill proficiency had reached (4960/5000).

The proficiency of A-level skills is indeed much slower to train than other lower-level skills.

This skill was acquired within the first few days of the Abyss. Eight months have passed and my proficiency is finally almost full.

This means that this skill can be upgraded soon.

There are still 40 points of proficiency left. You can reach the full level by training specifically for a period of time.

However, the divine energy required to upgrade A-level skills is very large, and you need to save up this divine energy.

Afterwards, Lu Heng tested the skill effect of [Damage Backtracking].

Although the skills are introduced with data, the real effect can only be known after testing.

After all, some effects will not be reflected in the data.

After Lu Heng tested the effect of this skill, he found that the effect was even stronger than expected, almost equivalent to 3 seconds of invincibility.

Of course, this skill cannot be used to resist instantaneous damage that can kill people instantly.

For example, when a nuclear bomb explodes, matter is instantly reduced to ashes, leaving no chance of tracing back the damage.

Even so, this skill is still powerful. As long as the damage is not instantaneous, it can be directly reversed. Even if you are hit by a sniper rifle, you can immediately activate the skill and return your body to the state before the damage.

In addition, there is another reason why Lu Heng is interested in this skill, which is that after this skill is upgraded, there is hope that it will be upgraded to the ability to influence time and space.

　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, let’s eat mooncakes together!
