From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

After leaving Longwei Base, the four members of the team went home.

Although they said they were going home, only Xie Shien left the team to visit his master's wife.

The remaining three went together, first went back to see their parents to report their safety, and then had dinner together. After dinner, they gathered in the training room of Qionghua Tianlu Lake to count the spoils.

The spoils were mainly crystal cores, and some props from the abyss world.

When in the Siren's territory, after Lu Heng's reminder, Lin Zeyu collected a large number of fire attribute crystal cores.

Although the price of fire attribute crystal cores in the Siren is relatively low, the quantity is relatively large, and the added price is not low.

He did not exchange that much Siren currency, and he could not buy it originally.

However, after experiencing the incident of the Flame Demon Gross, the human recruiter team led by Lu Heng has become a VIP and ally of the Siren.

Lin Zeyu went to find the high priest Sona, and after a few simple communications, the Siren agreed to give him credit.

Therefore, he was the one who harvested the most crystal cores from the Siren World, but they were not obtained in battle, but through trade.

Lin Zeyu was very satisfied with this trip to the Siren World, and smiled proudly: "Guess, what is the total value of the fire attribute crystal cores I brought back from the Siren Clan this time on Blue Star?"

Looking at his proud expression, the price must not be low.

Su Muyu raised a finger and replied casually: "One?"

Lin Zeyu shook his finger and said: "Who are you looking down on? Am I the kind of person who does a billion-dollar business?"

Lu Heng could roughly estimate how many there were, and replied: "It should be more than ten."

Lin Zeyu nodded immediately: "I estimated it, at least thirteen. That is, there are not many fire attribute crystal cores produced in the deep sea, otherwise I can make more."

After all, the Tidal Sea is an ocean environment, and the probability of producing fire attribute crystal cores is indeed relatively small.

The batch of fire attribute crystal cores he collected was accumulated by the Siren Clan over several years.

In addition to the crystal core, destroying the fire demon Gross may produce a batch of forging materials and quenching materials.

Lin Zeyu then asked: "What did you choose as the world mission reward? I plan to go to the sea monster world for trade frequently in the future, so I chose the space beacon."

Lu Heng replied casually: "My other two options are not cost-effective. Considering that I will help Master Guru meet his people in the future, I also chose the space beacon."

The two looked at Su Muyu, curious about what her world mission reward was.

Su Muyu smiled and said, "I may have a little luck. It's a skill slot reward again."

"What? It's not so outrageous. Then you don't have eight skills?" Lin Zeyu's eyes widened immediately.

Su Muyu counted the number of skill slots on the data panel with her fingers, nodded and replied: "Well, eight. Now there is one skill slot empty."

Lu Heng was also a little surprised, because her luck was really too good. The initial skill slots were five, and the world missions later added three, which was outrageous.

At this stage, among the superpowers of the entire Blue Star, no one should have more skill slots than her.

Lu Heng actually has quite a few skill slots, six already.

However, one of them was increased by using the [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core].

That was more than a year ago, when it was still the early days of the Abyss, and the major forces and the superpower organizations did not know how precious the [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core] was.

In fact, just looking at the data introduction of this super crystal core, most people know that this super crystal core is very valuable, but they don’t know how scarce it is.

Now it is the beginning of July in the second year of the Abyss, and there are only a few rumors about the [Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core] circulating in the superpower circle.

Lu Heng was able to get this super crystal core from the Gong family at the beginning, and no major forces intervened, because the superpower organizations at that time did not realize the scarcity of this crystal core.

The three took out the crystal cores they obtained, checked the properties, and looked for available crystal cores.

Prepare to find a suitable crystal core for Su Muyu so that her eighth skill slot can be equipped with skills.

However, Su Muyu’s current skill set, each of which has a high level, is not so easy to obtain a powerful skill crystal core.

Most of the skill crystal cores obtained from the Abyss Battlefield are of D and C levels, and there are very few B levels, let alone A levels.

At this stage, A-level skill crystal cores are also very scarce.

With Su Muyu's current skill set, skills below C level are basically not considered.

Although Lu Heng can upgrade her skills later, D-level and C-level skills need to be upgraded two or three times to reach a strong level, which not only consumes divine energy, but also takes a long time to train skill proficiency.

In other words, if she chooses a skill below C level now, it will take about half a year to show the little combat power of this skill.

Instead of this, it is better to directly find A-level skills, or B-level skills with very suitable skill effects.

A-level skills with strong skill effects are indeed difficult to find, but B-level ones will be much easier.

After the three of them checked the crystal cores brought back from the Siren World this time, there was no particularly suitable one.

Lu Heng thought about it and said, "Leave this skill slot empty for now. During this time, use our channels to collect a crystal core of the perception system, the spirit system, or the summoning system. The higher the level, the better. If it is a B-level crystal core with a particularly good effect, that's fine too."

Lin Zeyu rubbed his hands and agreed: "No problem, I will definitely collect a top-level crystal core for our young lady. Next, is it time to upgrade skills? I have saved a lot of divine energy."

When this guy usually prepares for the Abyss battlefield, all the materials that need to consume divine energy are bought with money or exchanged with resources.

He kept all his own divine energy and waited for the skill upgrade.

Since the skill levels of several team members are very high, the amount of divine energy consumed in order to upgrade skills is also increasing.

Especially for A-level skills, if you want to upgrade to S-level, you need to consume 5,000 points of divine energy.

In an Abyss battlefield with a danger level of 7, all the main tasks and challenge tasks are completed, and only 3,600 points of divine energy can be harvested.

It is conceivable how high the consumption of upgrading A-level skills is.

"What skills do you want to upgrade?" Lu Heng asked.

"I want to upgrade [Energy Hook] first. This skill is C-level. It is the skill I had at the beginning and has never been upgraded." Lin Zeyu wanted to make up for this skill first.

[Energy Hook] This skill is very practical. It shoots out an energy hook, hooks onto buildings and trees, and pulls the skill user over.

With this skill, the psychic has the ability to cross mountains and reach many strange locations.

This skill is indeed practical, but compared with Lu Heng and Su Muyu's skills, this skill is not good enough.

After all, it is only a C-level skill, and it has been used by Lin Zeyu until now without being eliminated, which is already quite powerful.

Lin Zeyu paused, then said: "Actually, I have thought about replacing this skill. This skill has no attack power. You all can fly, but I still use the hook. I didn't see the reward option for deleting skills before, otherwise I might have deleted this skill."

Lu Heng thought for a while and asked: "So do you want to upgrade this skill now, or delete it later?"

Lin Zeyu scratched his head and replied: "I haven't thought about it yet, so I want to ask your opinion. Should I delete this skill? Or upgrade it. But I feel that even if the energy hook is upgraded, it doesn't seem to have any particularly strong effect."

Lu Heng shook his head and smiled: "That's not necessarily true."

Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up and asked: "What do you mean? Is this skill very powerful after it is upgraded?"

"You can try it. Anyway, it only takes 600 divine energy to upgrade a C-level skill. You should have saved a lot of divine energy. Even if 600 points are wasted, it won't hurt too much." Lu Heng actually knows an upgrade route after this skill is upgraded, and the effect is very strong.

600 points of divine energy is indeed less than one-tenth of Lin Zeyu's current divine energy.

He thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Okay, then upgrade it once and see, if the upgrade effect is not good, delete it."

Lu Heng helped him open the skill lock of [Energy Hook] and let him upgrade the skill.

A few minutes later, the skill upgrade was completed.

Lin Zeyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the upgraded skill effect, and his expression was not sure whether it was surprise or shock.

"What is the name of the upgraded skill?" Lu Heng asked.

"This skill seems to be a bit awesome, upgraded to [Void Hook]." Lin Zeyu is still reading the skill introduction, reading it word by word, and has not yet fully understood the effect of using this skill.

A correct version of the book in 1619!

When Lu Heng heard the name of the upgraded skill, he already knew what the effect was.

[Void Hook] Simply put, it can launch an energy hook into the void.

There are usually two ways to use it.

The first is to shoot the energy hook into the void and tie up the creatures hiding in the void.

For example, the Void Stealer encountered in the Elf World, this abyss creature has no attack power, but can hide in the void for a long time. A psychic without the power of the void can't do anything with this thing.

If you have the skill of [Void Hook], you can directly shoot out the hook, lock the Void Stealer, and drag it out of the void.

Of course, if the creature hiding in the void is very powerful, it can cut off the Void Hook, which depends on who has stronger hard power.

In addition, [Void Hook] has a more powerful effect.

Before the upgrade, [Energy Hook] needs to hook buildings, trees and other materials to fix it and pull the user over.

[Void Hook] does not need it. When it is launched, it can hook the void, fix the hook, and pull the user to any position, even if there is no building at that position.

In other words, Lin Zeyu can release [Void Hook] with both hands, and pull himself into outer space with both hands.

Lu Heng commented: "The upgraded skill is very good. What is the longest distance of the hook?"

Lin Zeyu looked at the data and replied: "Five times the source energy level, which is... more than 200 meters."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "Very good, if you practice well, you can fly in disguise with this skill."

This skill can indeed "fly" in disguise. Use both hands to hook the void and swing all the way like a swing.

After listening to the explanation, Lin Zeyu already had a picture in his mind. He widened his eyes and said: "It can actually be like this. This skill is quite powerful."

Then, Lin Zeyu upgraded another skill.

Consume 1500 points of divine energy to upgrade the B-level [Plasma Explosive Bomb] to [Plasma Explosive Bomb], which doubles the power and produces a range explosion.

When a sniper uses this skill, he can only kill one person with one shot. With the effect of this skill, he can blow up the target and splash the surrounding targets.

Then.

Lu Heng began to consider the skills he wanted to upgrade.

Currently, there are several A-level skills with full proficiency, but there was no divine energy upgrade before.

After all, the A-level skill will be S-level if it is upgraded to the next level, which requires 5000 points of divine energy.

The proficiency of [Wind God Step], [Bullet Time] and [Damage Retracement] are all full, so you need to consider which one to upgrade.

This time when I came back from the Siren World, the divine energy I got, plus the original one, totaled 7200 points of divine energy.

It is only enough to upgrade one A-level skill, so I need to make a choice.

All three skills are very powerful. [Wind God Step] can increase speed, [Bullet Time] can make miraculous moves during battle, and [Damage Recall] is a life-saving trump card.

If there is no [Damage Recall] skill, one of his legs would have been crushed by the Skeleton Lord before.

After careful consideration, Lu Heng focused on the skill [Bullet Time].

This skill is very effective, but it is not enough when facing a demigod-level existence.

At that time, when facing the Skeleton Lord, [Bullet Time] had been activated, but one of his legs was still crushed by the Skeleton Lord.

This skill has been fully mastered a long time ago, and it is time to upgrade it.

However, Lu Heng is not sure in which direction this skill will be upgraded after the upgrade. He will know after seeing the effect after the upgrade.

After thinking about it, Lu Heng closed his eyes, opened the skill lock of [Bullet Time], introduced 5,000 points of divine energy, and merged with the original energy of the skill.

The two energies blended together, slowly merged into a ball, and quickly rotated in the skill slot to form an energy vortex.

At the moment of complete fusion, Lu Heng closed the skill lock and successfully upgraded the skill.

After the skill was successfully upgraded, he saw the name of the skill [Time and Space Stasis].

The moment he saw this skill, Lu Heng's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, none of the S-level skills are weak.

The skill effect of [Bullet Time] is very strong, but its essence is to improve one's own nerve reaction speed, enter the super-sensory state, and gain the ability to dodge bullets.

Strictly speaking, the skill [Bullet Time] only affects oneself and cannot really slow down the opponent.

[Time and Space Stasis] is different. This skill can really slow down the surrounding things.

[Time and Space Stasis]

[Skill level: S-level]

[Skill consumption: 200 source energy]

[Duration: 10 seconds]

[Skill range: 10 meters radius with oneself as the center]

[Skill effect: After activating the skill, the user enters the super-sensory state, and the nerve reaction speed is greatly improved. At the same time, the time and space stagnation force field is released, which greatly reduces the running speed of surrounding things. 】
