From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

This guy, when preparing for the Abyss Battlefield, always buys or exchanges resources for all materials that consume Divine Energy.

He saved all his own Divine Energy, just waiting to upgrade his skills.

Because the skill levels of the team members are very high, upgrading skills requires consuming more and more Divine Energy.

Especially for upgrading an A-level Skill to an S-Level Skill, it requires consuming 5000 points of Divine Energy.

A single Danger Level 7 Abyss Battlefield, completing all Main Quests and Challenge Tasks, can only yield 3600 points of Divine Energy.

It goes without saying how high the consumption is for upgrading an A-level Skill.

"Which skill do you want to upgrade?" Lu Heng asked.

"I want to upgrade [Energy Hook] first, this skill is C-level, it's one of the skills I've had since the beginning, and I haven't upgraded it." Lin Zeyu wants to improve this skill first.

The [Energy Hook] skill is quite practical, shooting out an energy hook to latch onto buildings or trees, pulling the user over.

With this skill, Superpower Users have the ability to cross mountains and reach many strange locations.

This skill is indeed practical, but compared to Lu Heng and Su Muyu's skills, it doesn't measure up.

After all, it's just a C-level skill, and the fact that Lin Zeyu can still make use of it without phasing it out is quite impressive.

Lin Zeyu paused, then said: "Actually, I've considered replacing this skill. It has no Attack Power, and you all can fly now, while I'm still using the hook. I didn't see any options for rewards for deleting skills before, otherwise, I might have already deleted it."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked: "So are you planning to upgrade this skill now or wait to delete it later?"

Lin Zeyu scratched his head and replied: "I haven't decided yet, so I wanted to ask your opinion. Should I delete this skill, or upgrade it? But it seems that even if I upgrade the Energy Hook, it won't have any particularly strong effect."

Lu Heng shook his head and laughed: "Not necessarily."

Lin Zeyu's eyes lit up, and he asked: "What do you mean? Could it be that upgrading this skill makes it strong?"

"You could give it a try, anyway, upgrading a C-level skill only requires 600 points of Divine Energy. You probably have accumulated quite a lot of Divine Energy. Even if you waste 600 points, it won't hurt too much." Lu Heng actually knows one of the upgrade paths for this skill, and its effect is quite strong.

600 points of Divine Energy is indeed less than one-tenth of Lin Zeyu's current Divine Energy savings.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll upgrade once and see. If the upgrade effect is not good, I can delete it later."

Lu Heng helped him unlock the Skill Lock for [Energy Hook], allowing him to upgrade the skill.

A few minutes later, the skill upgrade was complete.

Lin Zeyu raised an eyebrow looking at the upgraded skill effect, his expression unclear whether it was surprise or fright.

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

"This skill seems a bit impressive now, it upgraded to [Void Hook]." Lin Zeyu was still reading the skill introduction, reading it word by word, not fully understanding the skill's use yet.

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

[Void Hook] simply put, allows an energy hook to be launched, shooting into the void.

There are usually two methods of use.

The first is to shoot the energy hook into the void, to bind creatures hiding in the void.

For example, encountering the Void Soul Stealing in the Elf World, such Abyss Creatures have no Attack Power, but can hide in the void for extended periods. Without void-based powers, Superpower Users have no means against them.

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

Of course, if the creature hiding in the void is very powerful, it can sever the Void Hook, which depends on whose raw strength is stronger.

Besides, [Void Hook] has a more powerful effect.

Before upgrading, the [Energy Hook] needed to latch onto buildings or trees to secure and pull the user over.

[Void Hook] does not require this; when launched, it can hook onto the void to fix the hook, pulling the user to any location, even if there's no building there.

In other words, Lin Zeyu can release [Void Hook] with both hands and pull himself into outer space. Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.

Lu Heng commented: "The upgraded skill is pretty good, what's the maximum distance of the hook?"

Lin Zeyu checked the data and replied: "Five times the Source Energy Level, which is... over two hundred meters."

Lu Heng smiled and said: "It's not bad. If you practice proficiently, you could use this skill to fly in a way."

This skill indeed allows for "flight," with both hands releasing the hooks to bind the void, swinging through like on a swing.

After hearing the explanation, pictures formed in Lin Zeyu's mind, and he exclaimed: "I can actually do that, this skill is quite impressive."

Following this, Lin Zeyu upgraded another skill.

He consumed 1500 points of Divine Energy, upgrading the B-level [Plasma Armor-Piercing Bomb] to [Plasma Burst Bomb], doubling its power and causing explosive area effects.

A sniper using this skill could originally only take down one person with a shot, but with this skill's effect, they can blow up a target and incidentally hit surrounding targets.

Subsequently.

Lu Heng started considering which of his own skills to upgrade.

Currently, several of his A-level skills have maxed proficiency but had no Divine Energy for upgrading before.

After all, upgrading an A-level skill to an S-Level requires 5000 points of Divine Energy.

[Wind God Step], [Bullet Time], and [Damage Retrospection] all have maxed proficiency, so he needs to decide which one to upgrade.

Returning from the Sea Demon World this time, he obtained a total of 7200 points of Divine Energy, including what he originally had.

It's only enough to upgrade one A-level skill, so he has to make a choice.

All three skills are very strong: [Wind God Step] boosts speed, [Bullet Time] allows miraculous actions during battle, and [Damage Retrospection] is a life-saving trump card.

If not for the [Damage Retrospection] skill, facing the Bone Sovereign before, one of his legs would have been crushed.

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

The effect of this skill is very strong, but when facing a demigod-level entity, it already falls short.

When he faced the Bone Sovereign, he had already activated [Bullet Time], but the Bone Sovereign still crushed one of his legs.

This skill had reached full proficiency long ago, and it's time for an upgrade.

However, Lu Heng wasn't sure which direction this skill's upgrade would go; he would only find out after seeing the effects post-upgrade.

After deciding, Lu Heng closed his eyes, unlocked the Skill Lock for [Bullet Time], infused 5000 points of Divine Energy, and merged it with the skill's original energy.

The two energies blended together, slowly fusing into a mass, rotating rapidly in the Skill Slot to form an energy vortex.

At the moment of complete fusion, Lu Heng closed the Skill Lock, successfully upgrading the skill.

After the skill upgrade was successful, he saw the skill's name [Space-Time Stasis].

Seeing this skill, Lu Heng's eyes gleamed with a bright light.

Sure enough, S-Level Skills are never weak.

The skill effect of [Bullet Time] is powerful, but essentially, it speeds up one's neural responses, allowing for super-sensing state to dodge bullets.

Strictly speaking, [Bullet Time] only affects oneself and doesn't truly slow the opponent's speed.

[Space-Time Stasis] is different, this skill can actually slow down the surroundings.
