While the two were researching the effects of the skill upgrade, Su Muyu suddenly looked alard and warned, "Soone is coming."
The two hurried to their feet, just in ti to see a man and a woman erging from the woods.
The man appeared to be in his late twenties, his hair dyed silver, exuding a strong aura; clearly, he was a superpower user and not of a low level.
The woman was just over twenty, dressed in black stockings and heavy makeup, looking very sophisticated.
However, her natural beauty was nowhere close to that of Su Muyu. Even with her ticulous makeup, she fell far short of Su Muyu's appearance.
As these two approached the beach, the woman in black stockings looked up at the sky at the reconnaissance eagle, raised her hand with all five fingers spread, and clenched her fist powerfully into the air, causing the reconnaissance eagle to shake violently.
After the upgrade, the reconnaissance eagle had improved in defense, and this aerial attack failed to destroy it.
Nevertheless, Su Muyu felt the psychic shock and her body shuddered.
Feeling the hostility from the other side, Su Muyu whispered to Lu Heng, "This woman might be the Perceiver from the Gongteng Group we encountered before; her attack on the reconnaissance eagle looks very similar."
Lu Heng pulled her behind him, faced the two with his head held high, and said firmly, "That's not a very polite way to say hello."
The woman in black stockings laughed provocatively, "Don't be so tense, I was just joking with your little sister."
"Just spit it out, what do you want?" Lu Heng asked, his gaze sharp as he stared at the two.
The man with silver hair turned to look at the sea and spoke with extre assertiveness, "We're taking this stretch of the beach. Leave the Crystal Core behind, pack up your things, and you can go."
The ssage was clear: they intended to seize the beach.
Lu Heng wasn't surprised by this turn of events.
Behind the beach was the Coastal highway, with just a small patch of woods in between.
Standing on the Coastal highway, one could easily observe the beach.
Lu Heng had been hunting Abyss Tide Worms on the beach for the past couple of days; it was very likely observed by passing vehicles.
Obviously.
This man and woman must have noticed that Abyss Tide Worms ca ashore on this stretch of the beach and thus wanted to take it for themselves.
At the start of the Abyss Descent, hunting Abyss Tide Worms could not only increase one's level but also yield Demon Crystal Cores. With such lucrative gains, who wouldn't be tempted?
"Stealing territory is one thing, but you want to steal the Crystal Core too? That's pretty greedy; think you can handle it all?" Lu Heng couldn't help but find the situation amusing, having encountered such an incident so quickly.
"What can I say, I have a big appetite," the man with silver hair replied confidently, his neck arched, his eyes revealing the look of soone who regards others as lower beings.
...
The Abyss invasion brought crisis to the human world, but it also introduced extraordinary powers.
With the increase in power ca inflated ambition and the greed for even stronger forces.
The main way to obtain extraordinary powers was through the Demon Crystal Cores.
Thus, among superpower users, conflicts over Demon Crystal Cores beca inevitable, even risking life and limb.
Seeing the arrogant and greedy look in the silver-haired man's eyes, Lu Heng knew he couldn't avoid the fight. He stretched his limbs and asked, "How do you want to go about this? Tell ."
"Fancy putting up resistance; interesting," said the man with silver hair, rolling up his short sleeve to his shoulder, revealing his muscular arms, his face showing a combat-ready smile.
Lu Heng pulled Su Muyu aside to the edge of the battlefield and handed her a Glock handgun, instructing, "When it starts, you leave first, don't worry about ."
Su Muyu nodded slightly and walked to the shade of the trees, beginning to slowly pack her backpack.
Lu Heng turned around to face the man with silver hair, signaling, "Let's start."
The man with silver hair wrapped cloth around his knuckles, then charged forward, throwing a straight punch towards Lu Heng's face. The punch was fiercely powerful and fast.
Just from the sound of the wind carried by the fist, it was evident that if the punch landed, Lu Heng's face would at least fracture if not completely deform.
With the effect of "Agile as a Dragon" Talent amplified, Lu Heng's agility had reached 22 points. Even among superpower users of the sa level, he boasted extrely high agility.
The main benefit of the agility attribute was to increase the body's neural response speed, coordination in movent, attack speed, and running speed.
Therefore, in terms of reaction, Lu Heng was far superior to superpower users of the sa class.
Though the silver-haired man's punch was fast and fierce, Lu Heng slightly turned his head and dodged it with ease.
After exchanging a couple of moves, Lu Heng realized the silver-haired man might be a professional boxer, throwing punches with seventy percent of his strength, always holding back thirty percent.
Fists flew out, and regardless of whether they hit their mark or not, he imdiately pulled back, ready to defend or continue the attack.
Thus, the silver-haired man's punches were fast, and his withdrawals equally swift.
His right fist shot out, missing the target, and as he retracted it, his left fist was already in motion.
Lu Heng had just tilted his head to the right to dodge the right jab, and imdiately leaned left to evade the left jab.
Bang, bang, a series of punches all failed to land.
The silver-haired man was sowhat surprised, for he was well aware that with his current strength and agility, even the world boxing champions couldn't withstand a single punch from him.
After the first exchange, Lu Heng gauged the man's level and attributes by the sound of the air bursting from his punches.
The man had a strength attribute approaching 20 points, with slightly lower agility.
To have such high attributes, this person must be at least Level 9 or above.
At this point in ti, not many superpower users had reached such a high level.
Thanks to his mories of being reborn, Lu Heng had managed to ascend to Level 9 so quickly.
That the other party could also rise to Level 9 in such a short ti implied the backing of substantial financial resources.
With sufficient monetary power and access to Demon Crystal Cores, one could indeed level up rapidly during the initial phase of the Abyss Descent.
Just like Tang Hongda, who had been buying Demon Crystal Cores for others before he died.
As long as one had enough financial strength and a channel to acquire Demon Crystal Cores, leveling up through the absorption of demon energy was indeed possible at this point in ti.
...
Having dodged another straight punch, Lu Heng began to counterattack, lashing out two whip kicks with the speed of lightning.
The silver-haired man's eyes narrowed, realizing he couldn't dodge the incredibly fast kicks, and imdiately raised his arms to block.
"Bang, bang," the silver-haired man wasn't injured, but the impact forced him to stagger back two steps.
Having taken the kicks, a gleam of excitent spread across the silver-haired man's face: "Interesting."
He threw his head back and shouted, erupting with Source Energy, his entire body levitated, floating mid-air.
Gale-force winds swirled around him, causing his silver hair to dance wildly, his presence soaring magnificently.
Lu Heng was montarily startled by this spectacle.
He hadn't realized it before, but now, seeing the man floating with his silver hair dancing wildly, he finally rembered who he was.
In his past life, this man was one of the top superpower users in Coastal, the "Storm Boxing King" Lei Jinhao.
He was the captain of "Thunder," one of the three major superpower teams in Coastal.
And his silver hair wasn't dyed; it beca silver gradually after he acquired the Storm Power.
However, his current appearance was quite different from the "Storm Boxing King" Lu Heng rembered.
In his mory, when the "Storm Boxing King" unleashed his power, the sky would change with winds and thunder flashing and rumbling.
The man's level wasn't high enough now, so the power he displayed wasn't as formidable.
Even so,
To have the ability to float in the air after erupting with power at this point in ti was a testant to absolute pinnacle strength among superpower users.
After unleashing his Storm Power, he roared and leaped three ters high, aiming a Charging Punch at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng couldn't afford to be careless, stepping on the Gale Step, he smoothly dodged with a slide.
Boom!
The silver-haired man's punch smashed into the sand, splattering it and blasting out a large crater.
After bursting forth with Storm Power, his charging speed beca faster, and his punches more ferocious.
However, after initiating Gale Step, which increased his speed by 80%, Lu Heng still fluidly moved beneath his barrage of punches with ease.
Moreover, his proficiency in Gale Step increased during the fight.
[Using "Gale Step" in combat, Skill Proficiency 1]
Gale Step's proficiency reached (999/1000), only a hair's breadth away from being mastered.
