From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 232 - 190: Return! Reward Skill Slot

Just a split second more, and he could have left Thunder God Austin from the American team for dead.

After clearing out the demons in Delrims Base No. 3, as well as the gigantic Abyss Meat Tumor,

Lu Heng absorbed the tremendous energy, causing a tide of energy inside him that raised his Source Energy Level to 28.

[Source Energy Level increased to Level 28, All Attributes +3, Agility Attribute additionally +0.9]

After reaching Level 28, his physical condition improved all around, and his five-dimensional attributes reached: Strength 64, Agility 82, Constitution 64, Spirit 65, Perception 64.

Su Muyu, on the other hand, reached Level 27, having five-dimensional attributes as follows: Strength 58, Agility 60, Constitution 60, Spirit 66, Perception 66.

After the Abyss Meat Tumor was cleared, a world task notification popped up in front of the group of three, plus Yuan Yaoyao.

[World Task completed: Clear the Abyss Meat Tumor]

[World Task Reward: Choose one from the following three rewards.]

[1, Use 600 points of Divine Energy to establish a Space Anchor Point, allowing return to this world after leaving by consuming Divine Energy.]

[2, Use 1200 points of Divine Energy to add a Skill Slot.]

[3, Use Divine Energy to upgrade a fully mastered skill, consuming varying amounts of Divine Energy depending on the Skill Level.]

Upon seeing the three reward options, Lu Heng didn't hesitate and chose the second reward.

Initially, during his awakening, he only had 3 Skill Slots; later, he used a Super Crystal Core to add one more, making it 4 Skill Slots.

Four skill slots aren't few among ordinary superpower users, but only average among top-level superpower users.

Unlike Su Muyu, who initially had 5 skill slots and later got one more from a world task, making it 6 skill slots total.

Thus, Lu Heng was in great need of Skill Slots, and finding one as a World Task reward, he chose without hesitation.

The chance of receiving a Skill Slot as a World Task reward, in fact, is very low.

In his past life, someone had analyzed that among the three choice rewards of a World Task, the Space Anchor Point is usually guaranteed.

Then the options to upgrade or remove a skill also appear more frequently.

Apart from these, there are five or six more types of World Task reward choices.

Adding them up, there are about ten options in total, and the occurrence of the reward of a Skill Slot is relatively low.

So basically, it could take up to ten World Tasks to see the Skill Slot reward option once.

For many superpower users, completing even one World Task is difficult, let alone ten.

Another reason Lu Heng made his choice so quickly was to allow his teammates to return to the main world as soon as possible.

"Quick! Return, don't linger. Yuan Yaoyao, return immediately, don't delay even for a second."

"Why the rush? I'm still looking at the World Task rewards," Lin Zeyu said, reading each word of the World Task reward information slowly.

"The Sikes Military has cleared the Abyss Meat Tumor, their next target is us, plus the backlash from the Descent Faction is also heading our way. The space-based weapons should already be swinging their barrels our way, they'll fire on us any second now! Don't hesitate, return immediately," Lu Heng rapidly explained.

To the Sikes Civilization, humans will always be extraterrestrial beings.

And furthermore, Lu Heng and his two companions are linked to the Ze Wei'er Matrix, which had utilized space-based weapons last time but had missed its target.

This time, the space-based weapons have launched, having fired at the Abyss Meat Tumor, they are set to target Lu Heng and his companions next.

Lin Zeyu instantly got nervous and asked hastily, "Which reward should I pick?"

"If there's a Skill Slot, pick the Skill Slot," Lu Heng answered.

"There's no Skill Slot, but there's a Space Anchor Point, a Skill Upgrade, and another option to draw a Skill of B-level or above to replace an existing skill. Does this option only draw B-level skills?" Lin Zeyu quickly asked.

"Skills of B-level and above all have a chance of appearing; it's sort of like gambling on drawing a high-level skill. If the general level of your skills is low, this reward has actually quite a high cost-effectiveness," Lu Heng explained.

Indeed, among the World Task rewards, there is the option to draw skills.

The skills drawn are usually related to the world the user is in.

And there's even a chance to draw A-level, or even higher-level skills.

Of course, the chances of drawing high-level skills are relatively low.

For superpower users equipped with all high-level skills, this reward is quite ordinary.

But for those who have learned multiple D-level skills, the cost-effectiveness of this reward is extremely high.

At the early stages of the Abyss Descent, most skills accessible to superpower users are generally D-level.

For a short-term boost in combat power, even if it's a D-level skill, it's usually learned to the maximum first.

Hence, most skills learned by superpower users are a mix of D-level and C-level.

In such cases, encountering a skill-drawing reward, especially drawing a B-level or higher skill, and if lucky enough to draw an A-level skill directly, is a qualitative leap.

Therefore, among the superpower user community, the skill-drawing reward is highly regarded.

"Space Anchor Point or drawing skills, pick one for yourself," Lu Heng suggested.

Su Muyu interjected, "I'll pick the Space Anchor Point. My other two options are to upgrade a skill and to delete a skill. I choose the Space Anchor Point, letting Lin Zeyu choose to draw skills."

"That settles it, choose and immediately return," Lu Heng reminded.

At that moment,

Yuan Yaoyao had already taken the lead in returning, her body fading away and disappearing.

She did not ask for Lu Heng's opinion; clearly, her light computer system had already prioritized the three options for her.

Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu also immediately returned, their bodies fading and vanishing.

Lu Heng looked up at the sky, unsurprisingly, 1300 kilometers in outer space, that space-based weapon fired again.

Half a second after Lu Heng returned, a thick laser bombarded the spot where Lu Heng had been standing, instantly vaporizing the soil and rocks on the ground.

Lu Heng had already teleported away from the Sikes World, now in an endless void, with a series of data prompts appearing before him.

[End of Abyss Battlefield, return to main world…]

[Complete Main Quest 1: Survive in the Mechanical Beast competition. Gain 200 points of Divine Energy.]

[Complete Main Quest 2: Choose whether to accept mechanical limb transformation, which will permanently take effect after the mechanical transformation and can be brought back to the main world. Gain 200 points of Divine Energy.]

[Complete Main Quest 3: Survive 15 days in Sikes Civilization. Gain 200 points of Divine Energy.]

[Complete Challenge Task 1: Source Material Battle, complete Source Fusion, attain Second Transition Class. Gain 600 points of Divine Energy.]

[Complete Challenge Task 3: Join one of the three major factions and complete the tasks assigned by the faction. Gain 600 points of Divine Energy.]

Lu Heng's vision restored, finding himself in the training room at Qionghua Tianglu Lake.

Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu also gradually regained consciousness, looking around in confusion and then trying hard to recall the situation before they were summoned to the Abyss Battlefield.

"We're finally back," Lin Zeyu stood up, stretching his body.

"What was the last skill you drew?" Lu Heng remembered that just a few seconds earlier, Lin Zeyu had been asking about the rewards.

"Guess," Lin Zeyu said with a teasing expression.

Seeing his expression, it was clear he had drawn a decent skill.

"Not interested in knowing."

Lu Heng and Su Muyu looked at each other and walked away, ignoring him.

"Come on, ask me," Lin Zeyu suddenly choked up.

He had intended to tease them a bit, but now that Lu Heng and the other didn't want to listen, it was him feeling uncomfortable.

"Not interested, are you hungry? Want to eat wontons?" Lu Heng asked.

"Sure, let's go downstairs for wontons. I haven't eaten them in a long time," Su Muyu nodded, and they walked outside together.

"I drew a very useful B-level skill, I rarely get lucky, aren't you curious?" Lin Zeyu felt even more uncomfortable and followed behind them.

"Only B-level, even less curious," they both shook their heads together.

"Not curious but I'll still tell you, I drew [Bait Trap], way stronger than the original trap skill," Lin Zeyu couldn't hold back whether they wanted to listen or not and hurriedly spoke.

"Not bad, suits you well," Lu Heng evaluated.

"I think so too," Lin Zeyu felt more assured about the skill.

He followed them into the elevator, saying, "By the way, my proficiency in Hidden Eye is almost full, I can upgrade it in a few days."

Su Muyu glanced at her attribute panel and said, "I should be faster, my Divine Feather Eagle is almost full. It's B-level now, can it be upgraded to A-level once the proficiency is full?"

Lu Heng nodded in response, "It can, but the consumption of Divine Energy will double."

Su Muyu giggled, "I have saved a lot of Divine Energy, definitely enough."

She indeed had a knack for hoarding Divine Energy; aside from using it to upgrade skills, she rarely used it, so she now had over four thousand Divine Energy.

"Then find me when you've maxed out the proficiency, I'll help you upgrade," Lu Heng agreed nodding.

"I'll soon have an A-level skill," Su Muyu was especially happy now.

After the Divine Feather Eagle was upgraded, she would have her first A-level skill, the thought alone thrilled her, eager to max out the proficiency quickly.

Upon hearing his teammate would soon have an A-level skill, Lin Zeyu felt an itch, thinking he must quickly get an A-level skill as well.

His highest-level skill was now B-level, making him the weak link in their team.

Actually, since the beginning of Abyss Descent, he had been continuously spending money to acquire Skill Crystal Cores.

However, in the early stages of the Abyss Descent, C-level was considered high for available Skill Crystal Cores.

Now that the Abyss invasion had entered the mid-stage, B-level skills had begun to appear sporadically.

If one was willing to spend the money, indeed, B-level skills could be obtained, but the skill slots were used up.

This resulted in a situation where, even with money, there was no way to upgrade the skill level.

For other Superpower Users, in order to upgrade skill levels or increase Skill Slot Numbers, they could only rely on world task rewards from the Abyss Battlefield.

Only Lu Heng could ignore the rules of the Abyss World, unlock the Skill Lock, equivalent to infinitely using the world task rewards for skill upgrades.

That was the real substance of [Divine Evolution].
