From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 211 - 173: Spiritual Field, Evasion Radar Module

"After killing that black man, the remaining two Fusangese were no match for Lu Heng either."

"A casual sword stroke could kill them, and Lin Zeyu even snatched a kill by blowing the head off one Fusangese who was dodging."

"Only one of the Fusangese had Source Material; it seemed the other was bound by some relationship and had been summoned along."

"Su Muyu absorbed the Source Material, raising her Source Quality Fusion to 51%, and then located Hasegawa Tom."

"The control distance for Mirror Avatars wasn't too far. With the help of Spirit Feather Eagle, finding him wasn't difficult."

"'He's at Gaseous Street District, number 1012, just 1500 meters ahead in a grid-patterned house.'"

"Lu Heng arrived in front of this house, originally planning to surround it to prevent Hasegawa Tom from escaping."

"Unexpectedly, Hasegawa Tom flew right out of the house."

"He had an Anti-gravity Module equipped and could freely propel his body with the help of Spiritual Power."

"Combining the two functions gave him the ability to fly freely."

"Actually, even relying solely on Spiritual Power, a Spirit Mind Master could fly."

"However, that would require using Spiritual Power to counteract gravity, and at a lower Class, it wasn't convenient to fly this way due to the significant consumption of Source Energy, and the speed was slow."

"With an Anti-gravity Module, it was different. The body unaffected by gravity, Spiritual Power could be used entirely for propulsion. The acceleration of flight surpassed gravitational acceleration, and the speed was extremely fast."

"Hasegawa Tom flew out and hovered in mid-air, followed shortly by two Mechanical Beasts rushing out and taking up positions around him, ready for battle."

"As Lu Heng got within ten meters of Hasegawa Tom, he suddenly felt an invisible Spiritual Field around him, suppressing his movements."

"This was unmistakably a Spiritual Field, a large-scale suppression field of a Spirit Mind Master."

"Superpower Users who entered the field were subjected to its pressure, their actions greatly limited."

"This sensation felt as if one were carrying hundreds of pounds of weight. If a Superpower User's Level weren't high enough, they would be directly pressed to the ground by the Spiritual Field."

"Feeling the existence of the Spiritual Field, Lu Heng raised an eyebrow, noticing that Hasegawa Tom's Combat Power had greatly increased."

"Just by getting into the Abyss Battlefield a bit sooner, he had obtained such a massive boost. Given more time, who knows how much he would have developed."

"A confident smile appeared on Hasegawa Tom's face as he arrogantly said, 'I wanted to save some trouble, but in the end, I have to take action myself. Now, taking you guys down is quite easy for me.'"

"As he spoke, he pressed his hand down toward Lu Heng, and the Spiritual Field suddenly intensified three times over."

"Lu Heng felt the immense pressure surge from three hundred pounds to a thousand on his body. If his Strength attribute weren't high enough, he wouldn't have been able to withstand it."

"Immediately after,"

"Hasegawa Tom pointed, and two Mechanical Beasts resembling Hellhounds roared and pounced, aiming to tear Lu Heng to shreds."

"The Mechanical Tiger behind Lu Heng leaped forward, engaging in combat with one of the Mechanical Beasts."

"Under the heavy pressure of the Spiritual Field, the Mechanical Tiger's movements were greatly restricted, but it managed to hold off one Mechanical Beast."

"Lu Heng utilized his movement technique to dodge the other Mechanical Beast's attacks and then, under the heavy pressure of the field, charged forward, launching an attack at Hasegawa Tom."

"The closer he got to Hasegawa Tom, the more intense the physical pressure of the field became."

"As he approached within three meters, the pressure of the field soared to a staggering 1500 pounds."

"Lu Heng shouted and, withstanding the heavy pressure, thrust out with his sword."

"Because of the presence of the field's pressure, this thrust was much slower than usual."

"Hasegawa Tom lightly lifted his hand. His Spiritual Power propelled him aside with agility to dodge the thrust."

"Lu Heng tried several stabs, but all were evaded."

"Hasegawa Tom burst into laughter, 'This is why the creator invited me. The strength of a Spirit Mind Master is something you can't comprehend.'"

"In fact, Lu Heng had known from the start how strong a Spirit Mind Master was. If he completed Source Fusion and obtained a full Class, his Spiritual Field would be even stronger."

"The fact that "the creator" invited him was indeed partly because of the Spirit Mind Master Class."

"Furthermore, he controlled the Soul Capturing Monster, effectively controlling the political situation in Fusang, which was another important reason the "creator" organization valued him."

"However, Lu Heng hadn't followed 027's instructions to invite him to join, but almost killed him instead."

"The reason Lu Heng dared to do so was that "the creator" was a rather loose organization."

"The hierarchy of power in the organization was sequential."

"In other words, the smaller the number in "the creator," the higher the rank of power."

"Lu Heng was 028. If Hasegawa Tom officially joined, his number would be 029."

"That is to say, Lu Heng would be Hasegawa Tom's superior and authorized to issue commands to him."

"Just as 027 had the authority to issue commands to Lu Heng."

"In other words,"

"during the invitation process, if Lu Heng was dissatisfied, he could retract the invitation at any time."

"Just like when Lu Heng received the invitation. The envelope that contained the Soul Capturing Monster's data had its validity only for that evening until ten o'clock."

"Lu Heng opened the envelope in the last two minutes of its validity."

"Had he opened the envelope too late, it would have meant a refusal of the invitation, and 027 had the authority to retract the invitation."

"That was the authority of 027."

"Now, that authority was in Lu Heng's hands."

"Lu Heng was dissatisfied with Hasegawa Tom. The invitation procedure wasn't completed, so he could retract the invitation at any moment."

"Coldness glinted in Hasegawa Tom's eyes as he said, 'You've snatched back my invitation, aren't you afraid of being cleared by the creator?'"

Lu Heng twisted the corners of his mouth and said, "Have you gotten things wrong? You are not a member of the creators yet, but I am, and my rank is higher than yours. Whether you can join the creators or not is up to me, and you haven't passed my inspection."

Hasegawa Tom scoffed coldly, "Then I'll just kill you and go directly to your superiors."

"You don't really think you can take me down with spiritual power, do you?"

Lu Heng had indeed tried to attack with his sword several times. Under the heavy pressure of the field, the speed of his attack had slowed, while Hasegawa Tom, with the help of the anti-gravity system and spiritual power, could move freely in mid-air, displaying a tremendous ability to dodge.

Hasegawa Tom burst into laughter and said, "Haven't you noticed? Your sword can't hurt me at all; you must think it's the spiritual field suppressing your speed that's causing you to miss. However, there are more powerful functions on me that you don't know about."

Lu Heng raised an eyebrow and launched several more attacks.

He then found that Hasegawa Tom could dodge each attack with precise timing as if he had some kind of dodge cheat activated.

Lu Heng even used a variation of the Step Sword Seven Styles, nearly succeeding, but just as his sword light was about to stab into his abdomen, his figure miraculously moved sideways by 10 centimeters to the right, avoiding the sword.

Seeing this, Lu Heng almost suspected that he had a "Bullet Time" type of skill.

Because the movement where he shifted sideways by 10 centimeters at the end was just too reminiscent of the dodging ability in "Bullet Time," making the most effective dodge in a fraction of a second.

After several attacks were dodged at the last moment, Lu Heng roughly guessed the reason.

"You actually have an evasion radar module."

Hasegawa Tom raised an eyebrow and said with a proud smile, "You actually know about this module. That's quite rare."

The evasion radar module, a component of the Sikes Civilization's mechanical upgrades, was one of the more advanced features.

The evasion radar module worked by using radar detection to lock on enemy attacks and then calculating the optimum evasion strategy through the AI system for the most precise dodging.

This module could make the most accurate judgments, but had no dodge ability on its own.

The user themselves must have the ability to dodge to make it work.

If it were any other superpower user, even with the evasion radar module, they wouldn't be fast enough to dodge Lu Heng's sword.

However, Hasegawa Tom significantly suppressed Lu Heng's speed with the spiritual field, and with the anti-gravity system combined with the power of spiritual power providing the dodge propulsion, he obtained the ability to precisely dodge attacks.

In other words, Hasegawa Tom, relying on spiritual power, the evasion radar module, and the anti-gravity module, had together achieved a "Bullet Time" level of dodging ability.

After understanding the source of his dodging ability, Lu Heng's mouth curved into a smile as he said, "For others, perhaps they can do nothing against you, but to me, your dodge ability is insignificant."

Dodging has a prerequisite—it requires a speed fast enough to avoid the attack.

Meaning the defender's dodging speed must reach a threshold to be able to avoid the attack, and the faster the attacker's speed, the higher this threshold becomes.

When the attacker's speed far exceeds the dodging threshold, the defender, even with an evasion radar system, cannot escape.

In other words, the way to counter Hasegawa Tom's dodging ability was simple: increase the speed of the sword strike to the extreme, overpowering his dodging speed, making it impossible for him to dodge.

Lu Heng's eyes gleamed as he lowered his body and began charging his power as a "Windwalker."

Streams of Gale Force gathered within Lu Heng's body, compressing continuously.

Hasegawa Tom felt the presence of a whirlwind gathering around Lu Heng's body. He had seen this move before.

Back on Blue Star, it was this very move that had struck him through with a sword, causing serious injury.

Thus, seeing Lu Heng begin to charge, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes as he snorted coldly, "The same skill, you want to use it against me a second time? Die!"

With that, he raised his mechanical arm and activated the attack module.

The shell of the mechanical arm flipped open and twelve miniature fusion bombs shot out.

At the same time, a Mechanical Beast entangled by the Divine Feather Eagle turned its head, its liquid metal shell on its body opening to reveal a missile module launching another twelve miniature fusion bombs.

Twenty-four miniature missiles fired towards Lu Heng.

At that moment, Lu Heng was in the middle of charging, compressing the Gale Force.

Unable to make big movements while charging, otherwise the charging would fail.

While charging under the spiritual field, Lu Heng could barely move his body unless he aborted the process.

But the twenty-four miniature missiles were already on their way.

A smile curved Lu Heng's lips; he did not interrupt his charge, instead immediately activating "Shadow Traversal," letting his body slip into the shadows, becoming exempt from physical collision.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

The twenty-four miniature fusion bombs struck the spot where Lu Heng stood, blowing craters into the ground.

Hasegawa Tom's spiritual power quickly scanned the explosion zone but found no shattered remains of Lu Heng.

This made him feel something was amiss, so he immediately flew backward to create a safe distance.

Just at that moment.

Lu Heng finished charging, and the Gale Force erupted, turning him into a shadowy lightning bolt, shooting out from the explosion's flames.

"Windwalker" charged and exploded, accelerating by 360%, and the "Shadow Traversal" state sped up by 300%.

The combined effects amounted to a 660% acceleration.

Supported by a super high Agility of 74 points, Lu Heng burst out at an extreme speed of 390 meters per second, instantly breaking the sound barrier.

Boom!

In an instant, he crossed a hundred meters and the Cloud Piercing Style stabbed into Hasegawa Tom's abdomen, sinking into the hilt.

The ferocious kinetic energy instantly shredded his metal shell, blowing the metal apart.

Hasegawa Tom's body broke in half and fell from the sky, organic body parts spraying blood.

His eyes filled with shock, his brain entered a moment of void.

Because just in the moment of fleeing backward, he had seen the alerts from the evasion radar system, red alerts across the whole system, warning him of an attack he couldn't dodge.

Almost at the moment the red alert appeared, he was run through by the sword, with no chance to react.
