From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

"Did you get high-level forging materials?" Guru's eyes lit up when he heard that Lu Heng wanted to forge the Aurora Blade for the third time.

"Yes, I got a piece of black crystal forging stone." Lu Heng took out the black crystal forging stone that the Flame Demon had separated and handed it to him.

"Good material, and this kind of black crystal forging stone is most suitable for forging weapons made of Aurora material. However, if there is only one piece, the material is not enough." Guru rubbed his chin and recalled whether there were any forging materials in the Quenching Fort.

However, after thinking about it, he found that there were no high-level forging materials in the Quenching Fort. When he left the abyss, he had used up all his family's wealth.

Lu Heng took out the famous Fuso sword "Izumi Tiger Cutting" and said, "I plan to use this as a forging material, plus the black crystal forging stone, it should be enough."

"This sword is good, it's really a good sword, it's perfect for forging materials. The weather is good today, let's start now."

Gulu suddenly got excited, ran over to put on his forging clothes, and then started the furnace to prepare.

Black crystal forging stone and Izumi Tiger Cutting are the main materials for forging, and some auxiliary materials are also needed.

Auxiliary materials are more common, and there are many in the quenching fort.

Gulu flipped through several boxes, took out all the auxiliary materials needed, and laid them all on the table.

He first put Izumi Tiger Cutting and black crystal forging stone into the furnace to calcine, burn off the impurities, and then started forging.

The forging process took a long time, Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu helped, and it took three hours to complete.

When the forging was completed, Lu Heng saw a string of data prompts appear.

[Assist the forger to complete the weapon forging and obtain the secondary profession "Forging Assistant". ]

[Perform the forging assistance operation, Forging Assistant professional experience +10]

The last time I forged the Aurora Blade for the second time, I did not obtain the secondary profession. It may be that the participation was not high enough that time.

It should also be because Guru's original forger level was not high enough.

If you assist the trainee forger, you will not become a forging assistant.

The probability of obtaining the secondary profession of Forging Assistant by assisting the full-time forger is also very low.

Only by assisting the senior forger or the forging master will the probability of obtaining the secondary profession be higher.

Guru should have improved his forging level after the last forging, so the secondary profession of "Forging Assistant" appeared this time.

Moreover, it is not only Lu Heng who has obtained the secondary profession of Forging Assistant.

Lin Zeyu came over and said with surprise: "I have obtained a secondary profession called Forging Assistant. Am I going to take off this time?"

"Well, it's considered gliding close to the ground. I also have this secondary profession." Lu Heng teased him.

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened immediately: "Aren't you a quencher? Why is there another forging assistant?"

Lu Heng spread his hands: "Is it your business?"

Although it was just a forging assistant, this was the first time that Lin Zeyu had obtained a secondary profession, and he was very excited.

Moreover, the forging assistant had an additional effect bonus.

[Forging Assistant: Assisting in forging success rate +5%,]

After the forging was completed, Guru's face was full of excitement. He raised the Aurora Blade that had been forged three times and laughed loudly: "The God of Forging has blessed me. I finally forged a magic weapon. The forging skills of the Black Iron Tribe have not been lost!"

Lu Heng discovered last time that this "forging master" had not even forged a B-level weapon before.

It is estimated that many skills of the Quenching Castle were on the verge of being lost during the migration and escape from the abyss.

Guru had forging knowledge, but he had no advanced materials to try, so before Lu Heng appeared, his highest forging level was C-level.

Lu Heng quickly took the Aurora Blade and checked its properties. When he saw the attack power, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

[Excellent Aurora Blade +9 (Abyss Assimilation)]

[Item Level: A-level]

[Specifications: 132 cm long, 3.6 cm wide, 1.85 kg in weight]

[Properties: Attack Power 345 (Special Effects Bonus)]

[Special Effects: Soul Slashing LV2, Blade LV2]

[Blade LV2: Exclusive special effects for bladed weapons such as swords, which increases the sharpness of the weapon, weapon attack power +75 points, and increases the destructive power to hard materials by 50%. ]

Each forging has a chance to change the special effect level. This forging directly upgraded the [Blade] special effect from LV1 to LV2, and the increased attack power increased from 50 points to 75 points.

Moreover, [Blade] has a stronger destructive power on hard materials, which is really like cutting iron into mud.

345 attack points after special effects, and this is a cold weapon, which means it can get a bonus to strength attributes.

With any sword, all those below level 25 are ants.

A double special effect A-level weapon, and both special effects are LV2.

This sword appeared in the sixth month of the Abyss, which can be said to be beyond the times.

…

Time came to the end of June in the Abyss Era.

The 15-day expulsion period ended, and Saito Takeharu came to Daxia again, and this time he brought many people from the Fuso Kendo circle.

This group of people threatened to give Fuso Kendo a good name and condemn the shameless behavior of Daxia swordsmen.

Therefore.

When Lu Heng received the letter of challenge for the second time, the battle was a bit big.

More than a hundred people surrounded the gate of Qionghua Tianlu Lake, calling for Lu Heng to come out and meet him.

After Lu Heng came out, a disciple of Kashima Shinto-ryu handed over the letter of challenge.

Many of these Fuso people were armed, some with wooden swords, some with katana, making the scene shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

The law enforcement team was worried about something going wrong, so they dispatched police forces to block the front of Qionghua Tianlu Lake.

When the letter of challenge was handed over, Lu Heng did not reach out to take it immediately, but turned his head to look at the black car on the side of the road.

The same car, the same position.

As last time, the window of the back seat of the car was lowered, and Saito Takeji was sitting in the car, with a tuft of beard on his philtrum, and his momentum was stronger than last time.

Obviously, in order to prepare for this battle, Saito Takeji was greatly promoted after returning to Fuso.

Moreover, he now represents the face of Fuso Kendo, so the consortium in the Fuso Kendo circle will support him.

So in these fifteen days, Saito Takeji has gained the support of the entire Fuso Kendo circle, and countless extraordinary resources are tilted towards him, and it is difficult not to become stronger.

Saito Takeji was originally recognized as the head of Fuso Kashima Shindō-ryu, and was regarded as a sword saint by the Fuso people. His strength was originally unfathomable.

Now that he has obtained so many extraordinary resources, his strength has skyrocketed. In the field of Fuso Kendo, he is already invincible.

The battle of today's letter of challenge does not allow retreat.

If Lu Heng does not accept this battle, domestic public opinion will explode.

Although Lu Heng does not care about public opinion, he does not want to be pointed at and called a coward.

In fact, Saito Takeji and the Harukami Group made such a big scene, the purpose is to force Lu Heng to fight.

Lu Heng understood the opponent's purpose and knew that this was an open conspiracy, but it didn't matter, just fight.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Heng picked up the letter of challenge and looked at the time and place.

The time is three days later, and the location is Binhai International Kendo Hall.

...

Because the battle was too big, Lu Heng's parents also knew about it.

Parents must be worried about competing with others.

However, Lu Heng tried to downplay the matter as much as possible: "Don't worry, it's just a martial arts competition. It's just like an Olympic event."

This was just to comfort his parents.

Lu Heng knew very well that Saito Takeji would not hold back in this battle.

So, this battle must be a life-and-death battle.

Lu Mingli saw the battle when Saito Takeji issued the challenge, so he knew very well that his son must not retreat in this competition.

This matter is no longer a matter of one person, and the backbone of the men of Daxia is at stake.

"Mom and Dad know that we can't retreat in this competition, but you have to promise us that no matter you win or lose, you must come back alive." Lu Mingli said this in a deep tone.

He didn't ask for anything in this battle, even if he lost, he could accept it, as long as his son could come back alive.

No matter what happened afterwards, the family would face it together.

Lu Heng showed a relaxed smile: "Don't worry. It's just a martial arts competition, a small matter."

He said this, but Lu Heng was still a little nervous.

After all, the opponent is the Fuso Sword Saint, who has been immersed in kendo for decades, and his strength cannot be weak.

…

The next three days.

Lu Heng practiced swordsmanship and body skills in the training room. Finally, on the third day, he practiced his body skills to the subtle level (2999/3000).

When he stepped on the ceiling and performed the upside-down rising dragon style, his body skills officially broke through the subtle level.

[I have gained some insights from practicing body skills, and my body skills proficiency +1]

[I have completed the practice of the subtle level body skills and entered the fourth level of body skills - the artistic conception level. ]

As soon as the artistic conception level body skills came out, Lu Heng once again performed the Zhenyue style change "Returning Wind", his body turned like lightning, and cut out a sword light of returning wind.

The sword light connected into a full moon, with unparalleled sharpness.

The body skills were practiced, and the change of returning wind was also practiced.

After the body skills broke through, Lu Heng rested for half a day.

The time also came to the date of the competition written on the letter of challenge.

Early in the morning, Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu were waiting at the door, ready to go to the kendo hall with Lu Heng.

9:30 in the morning.

There were many people outside the Binhai International Kendo Hall.

The news that the Fuso Kashima Shindōryu Sword Master Saito Takeji would compete here today had spread.

Some people even flew in from other cities to watch the competition.

Most of the people who gathered here came to see Saito Takeji.

After all, he was the Sword Master of Fuso.

The two words "Sword Master" alone were enough to attract countless people to watch.

In comparison, Lu Heng was not famous at all, and was a little unknown.

After all, the competition between Lu Heng and Tsukawa Hideyoshi was not public, and everyone who saw it was stunned.

One was the Fuso Sword Master, and the other was a passerby whose name Daxia had never heard of.

It was quite obvious who the people who gathered at the Binhai International Kendo Hall came to see.

The competition had not yet begun.

The door of the International Kendo Hall was already full of people, and these people were discussing the competition.

"Who is Saito Takeharu going to fight?"

"A man called Lu Heng."

"A new kendo master? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"I don't know. I haven't heard of his name. I don't know where he came from."

"How can such a small character fight with the head of the Shinto-ryu right away? This doesn't make sense."

"I heard that Saito Takeharu issued the challenge himself."

"It was indeed Saito Takeharu who personally came to the scene to issue the challenge. I was there at the time. There were hundreds of people from Fuso, and it was a big scene."

"The new swordsman personally issued a challenge to an unknown little character? What's going on? This guy named Lu Heng is a new swordsman, right?"

Some people in the crowd knew what was going on.

"I went to several kendo forums in Fuso to gather information. It is said that Takeji Saito came to declare a challenge fifteen days ago, but this man named Lu Heng did not dare to accept the challenge. However, someone above this Lu Heng actually used the official Strength, expel Takeji Saito."

"So despicable?"

"Anyway, Fuso is scolding us right now, calling our country's swordsmen despicable and shameless, not daring to fight, and only using official rules to expel their opponents."

"Then why did Lu Heng accept the challenge this time?"

"Can you refuse to fight? Hundreds of people from the Fuso Kendo Circle came to block the door of his house and almost took action."

"Did this person named Lu Heng offend Takeji Saito? Isn't it a bit too much for a majestic swordsman to bully a minor character like this?"

"I dug up the information on the Fuso website. It is said that this guy named Lu Heng defeated Hideyoshi Tsugawa, the favorite disciple of Takeji Saito, in a sword duel."

"He defeated Tsugawa Hideyoshi? When did it happen?"

"It must have been last month?"

"No, Tsugawa Hideyoshi is one of the top ten masters of Fuso Kendo. He lost the competition. Why is there no news at all?"

"It seems like he didn't just lose. The version I heard is that Tsugawa Hideyoshi was defeated by this guy named Lu Heng."

"Is it so exciting?"

"Tsukawa Hideyoshi is one of the top ten masters of Fuso Kendo. How can he be killed by a small character?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe this skill called Lu Heng is very strong. If there is a firearm enhancement skill, he suddenly takes out a gun and kills Tsukawa Hideyoshi with one shot. It wouldn't be surprising at all."

"That's right. If you suddenly pull out a gun and make a sneak attack, it's really easy to succeed if you have the gun-enhancing skills."

In the perception of the general public, firearms are still very powerful.

Normally, people with super powers cannot bear to shoot with a pistol.

The discussion among the crowd gathered outside the kendo hall became more and more intense.

The source of information is not only the Fuso website, but also people in China have brought back the content from the Fuso website and translated it.

"I saw the contents of the transfer. If it is true, then Saito Takeji is here to avenge his disciples."

"It seems that this man named Lu Heng probably killed Tsugawa Hideyoshi in a sneak attack, and Saito Takeji made a declaration of revenge in order to take revenge."

"If that's the case, it would be understandable for a sword master to declare a challenge to an unknown little character."

in the midst of discussion.

People from the Fuso Kendo Circle arrived at the Kendo Hall first.

Saito Takeharu, surrounded by dozens of people, entered the kendo hall, changed into kendo uniforms, and climbed onto the kendo hall's platform.

There are still ten minutes left before the time stipulated in the battle letter.

Since the kendo gym was booked and closed today, there were people blocking the door, and those who wanted to watch the competition were blocked from the door.

However, a few people have the privilege of entering the kendo gym.

Jian Qing and Chen Zihang heard about this competition a few days ago, so they rushed over in advance.

The two heard the comments from the crowd at the door, their expressions remained calm as usual, they passed through the crowd and entered the kendo hall.

The time came to ten o'clock in the morning.

Lu Heng came to the door of the Kendo Hall and was a little surprised to see the crowds of people at the door.

I originally expected that there would be many people watching, but I didn’t expect that there would be such a large number of people.
