From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 212 - 174 Class: Sky Vault Lord

"Are you done over there? I can hardly hold on anymore."

Lin Zeyu shouted into the communication channel, single-handedly holding off a charge of over a dozen mechanical guards with Source Energy Shock Bombs.

Such a ruckus in Gaseous Street, and the use of miniature missiles, had wrecked a large portion of the area.

Naturally, it attracted nearby mechanical guards.

Lin Zeyu kept intercepting the converging mechanical guards. At first, when there were few, one shot each as long as he hit the battery, these mechanical guards would drop.

Although the armor on the mechanical guards' battery modules was the thickest, it couldn't withstand the attack of the Dual Effect Sniper Rifle coupled with the "Advanced Armor-Piercing Bullet" skill.

One shot per mechanical guard, directly blowing up the battery.

However, as the number of mechanical guards converging increased, he didn't even have time to reload, only able to intercept with Source Energy Shock Bombs.

In the end, he could no longer hold them off.

"Mu Yu, take over for him. Once the operation is complete, we're moving out."

Lu Heng spoke into the communication channel while stepping in front of Hasegawa Tom.

The mechanical transformation module at Hasegawa Tom's abdomen had shattered, causing his body to split into two.

However, since he had undergone mechanical transformation, there were no organs in his chest or abdomen, so even though his body was in two pieces, he didn't die.

Hasegawa Tom could still use spiritual power, carrying his upper torso as he tried to fly away.

His mechanical transformation was extensive. As long as his head was preserved, returning to the mechanical transformation factory to attach a mechanical body would lead to an immediate restoration to his intact condition.

However, Lu Heng didn't give him that chance, slashing with his sword and cleaving his head in two like slicing a watermelon.

After Hasegawa Tom died, his Second Transition Class "Spirit Mind Master" Source Material was released.

Lu Heng picked up the "Spirit Mind Master" Source Material, turned back, and also killed the two Mechanical Beasts.

The Mechanical Beasts' master-servant programming, once bound, couldn't be modified.

Thus, Lu Heng directly blew up the mechanical core of the two Mechanical Beasts and picked up the miniature missile launcher module from one of them.

Then, Lu Heng and his team regrouped and withdrew from Gaseous Street before the mechanical guards could encircle them.

…

After withdrawing, the trio directly went to the safe house organized by Yeliana Sikes.

Having gained the trust of Yeliana Sikes and successfully joining the Escape Faction, they had completed half of the third challenge task.

After confirming safety, the three were finally able to rest, eat, and restore their strength.

Lu Heng took out the "Spirit Mind Master" Source Material, tossed it to Su Muyu, and said, "Absorb this."

Lin Zeyu took it and glanced at it, saying, "This class is strong, Spirit Mind Master."

Indeed, "Spirit Mind Master" is strong; there's no dispute there.

However, this class is a spiritual system class, and only Su Muyu barely qualifies.

Su Muyu already had the "Sky Vault Lord" Class Source Material, both very strong classes, but the "Sky Vault Lord" was more in line with her path.

"Spirit Mind Master" was still more suited to Superpower Users who specialized in spiritual power.

Lin Zeyu was on a firearms enhancement path. Using "Spirit Mind Master" wasn't impossible, but his later development path needed significant adjustments.

He felt a bit envious and asked, "Is there a possibility for me to transition to 'Spirit Mind Master'?"

Lu Heng glanced at him and answered, "Possible, but you would need to make large adjustments in your subsequent path, and you're not specialized in spiritual power, so you won't get the best effect from 'Spirit Mind Master'."

The most important ability of "Spirit Mind Master" is the Spiritual Field, which requires very high spiritual power.

If one possesses a spiritual growth talent like "Agile as a Dragon", then adopting the "Spirit Mind Master" class would be very strong.

Without high spiritual power, "Spirit Mind Master" wouldn't be as effective.

Lin Zeyu, not having a Second Transition Source Material yet, felt an itch and asked, "If I transition to 'Spirit Mind Master', how effective can it be?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and answered, "About 70% effective."

"70%, that's pretty high," Lin Zeyu heard 70% and thought, why need anything else?

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

Lu Heng glanced disdainfully at him and said, "In my view, if you took a firearms enhancement class for your Second Transition Class, you could score 90%."

"90%!"

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened, and he asked uncertainly, "Am I that strong?"

Su Muyu couldn't help but snap at him, "Perhaps he's talking about a percentage system."

"A percentage system, not likely right. I'm not that bad..."

As he said this, doubt suddenly crept into his mind, and he hurriedly asked, "Lu Heng, it's not a percentage system, right?"

Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, ignoring the idiot.

After some serious thinking, Lin Zeyu concluded that he surely wouldn't only get a single-digit score in a percentage system, then passed the Source Material back to Su Muyu.

"Here you go. This Source Material is quite substantial, about 57%. If Hasegawa Tom had a little more time, he probably would have achieved a complete class."

Su Muyu took the Source Material and thought for a moment before asking, "Should we keep it? After we return, this Source Material could definitely be traded for many resources."

Her hoarding nature erupted again, liking to stash good things without using them.

Her Divine Energy had already accumulated to 2700 points.

Lu Heng promptly made the decision for her: "Absorb it, and claim the 'Sky Vault Lord' class now. Afterward, we just need to focus on finding Source Material for this fool."

"Right, right, right, absorb it quickly," Lin Zeyu heard this and felt the arrangement was especially good. As long as Su Muyu completed the Source Fusion, it would be his turn next.

And also, since the team was so strong, collecting more Source Material could potentially satisfy their needs at once.

"Okay."

Su Muyu nodded in agreement, absorbing that portion of Source Material.

[Absorbing Source Material, Source Quality Fusion reached 100%]

[Source Fusion complete, Class Fusion complete, promoted to Second Transition Class "Sky Vault Lord".]

[Sky Vault Lord: Condenses Energy Wings to fly in the sky, becoming the master of the skies.]

[Effect 1: Energy Wings can envelop the body for defense, or transform into Energy Feather Arrows for attacks.]

[Effect 2: Enhances the combat power of flying summoned creatures and increases summoning level.]

[Effect 3: Controls the weather in a small area, summoning wind and rain, gathering clouds.]

[Divine Feathered Eagle Power enhanced.]

[Attribute: Detecting Invisibility Range=12×Perception; Attack Damage=8×Spiritual Power.]

[Divine Feathered Eagle Skill: Flowing Light Speed, Blazing Flame Light]

[Blazing Flame Light: Releases all energy, emitting Blazing Flame Light, illuminating a 10-meter radius, causing high-temperature damage. Damage coefficient=20×Spiritual Power.]

After reading the abilities obtained from the completed Class, Su Muyu excitedly said, "I've gained the power to control the weather, although it's only on a small scale, this power is incredible, right?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "Indeed, it's impressive, even having a certain strategic value."

Su Muyu continued, "The scout eagle's scouting range and attack power have both increased. Now its attack is even more fierce than a sniper rifle."

Lin Zeyu, upon hearing this, widened his eyes, "What do you mean? Now even an eagle has a higher attack than me?"

Su Muyu covered her mouth and laughed, "What's the matter? Can't accept it?"

"All good, all good... How can I not accept it," Lin Zeyu quickly backed down.

Considering just attack power, the Divine Feathered Eagle's attack power was 8×Spiritual Power, and currently, Su Muyu's Spiritual Power was at 60 points, meaning the Divine Feathered Eagle had an attack power of 480.

However, the Divine Feathered Eagle couldn't use weapons or have skill enhancements, so in a real fight, Lin Zeyu's damage output would be higher.

After all, he had the "Advanced Armor-Piercing Bullet" and "Precise Shooting" Talent, plus a +9 Dual Effect Sniper Rifle, which meant the bullet power wasn't just a simple number.

...

Then, Lu Heng waved over the Mechanical Tiger Anka, and handed over a missile module, asking, "Can it be used?"

The Mechanical Tiger's liquid metal shell transformed, incorporating the missile module into the liquid metal, positioning it at the abdomen.

Because the module was installed under the liquid metal shell, it was completely invisible from the outside.

"What's that?" asked a curious Lin Zeyu.

"Missile firing module, we just picked it up, kept it to see if the Mechanical Tiger could use it," Lu Heng was also not too sure.

Because technological products are quickly outdated, if the interface wasn't compatible, it might not work.

However, since the Mechanical Tiger had already installed the missile module, it meant it could be used.

Lu Heng glanced at the Mechanical Tiger's data panel, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

[Mechanical Beast 101]

[Core Level: A]

[Attribute: Attack Power 350]

[Skills: Metal Enhancement, City-breaking Charge, Fiery Flame Shield]

[Mechanical Module: Miniature Missile Firing Module (Missiles available 0/12)]

The data on the Mechanical Tiger showed the missile firing module, meaning the interface was compatible, and it could be used.

However, since there were no miniature missiles left—all had been fired during a previous battle—they needed to find suitable types of missiles to load before the module could be functional.

"Give it a try, see what it does," Lin Zeyu circled around the Mechanical Tiger.

The Mechanical Tiger's liquid metal shell on both sides opened, exposing the missile firing module, and twelve miniature missile ports opened simultaneously.

Lin Zeyu's eyebrows rose, he exclaimed, "That's way too cool!"

Lu Heng teased, "Want one?"

"I want one!" Lin Zeyu nodded vigorously.

"Accept mechanical transformation, and this kind of module can be installed."

"No, thanks." Lin Zeyu rolled his eyes resolutely refusing; the thought of turning his body into mechanical metal was simply unacceptable.

However, he remained curious and asked, "Tell me honestly, is mechanical modification good or not?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and answered, "There's no good or bad, it's just a choice. Mechanical bodies have pros and cons."

"What are they? What are the advantages and disadvantages?"

"The advantages are many; mechanical bodies don't get sick, damaged parts can be replaced directly. They don't need food, just charging. As for the disadvantages..." Lu Heng paused after listing the advantages.

Su Muyu took over, "The disadvantage would probably be losing biological evolution abilities. Combat power upgrading entirely depends on technological level. Obtaining higher level technological modules can instantly enhance combat capabilities, but without higher tech support, combat effectiveness would stagnate or even degrade when damaged and unable to be repaired."

Lu Heng continued, "Actually, if one chooses mechanical modification, then establishing a presence in the Cyber World as a second main world is a route that could quickly boost combat power. However, the metal element's mechanical modification has one major downside."

"What's that?"

"Never encounter Chen Zihang."
