From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

The Coastal Global Center building is the most expensive office building in the Coastal CBD.

Huan Yu Security Company is located here.

Today is the day when Huan Yu Security Company has the most staff present, with 182 Superpower Users signed under Huan Yu's flag actually present.

In addition to Superpower Users, Huan Yu Security Company also has over a thousand employees responsible for logistical support.

Lin Zeyu led Lu Heng into the company, and the manager waiting in the lobby quickly came forward to greet them, "Boss, everyone is here, awaiting your instructions."

In the lobby, stood more than a hundred uniformed Superpower Users, neatly formed into four rows.

In addition to these, there were several dozen casually dressed Superpower Users sitting in the sofa area, drinking tea.

Those Superpower Users not in uniform had signed a cooperation agreement with Huan Yu Security, with very lenient contract terms, so most of them did not wear the company uniform.

Some had even signed non-exclusive agreements with multiple security companies.

The stronger the Superpower User, the more privileges they had.

Therefore, in terms of strength, it was actually those casually dressed, sitting in the sofa area and drinking tea who were stronger.

"Boss, here is the personal information of the security personnel." The manager handed a stack of documents to Lin Zeyu.

Lin Zeyu then handed it to Lu Heng, saying, "Take a look. Pick whoever you want, and just name them directly."

Lu Heng took the documents, didn't even look at them, and directly asked, "First, introduce the overall situation."

The manager had the qualifications to be a manager, naturally.

Without needing to look at the documents, he was able to reply, "Under Huan Yu Security, we currently have 215 Superpower Users, with 182 actually present today.

"Additionally, 33 are out on missions and not currently in the company. After you look over the documents, if needed, we can also call them back.

"Among the 215 Superpower Users, 73 are above level 10, with the highest at level 18.

"Our Superpower Users' functions range from the Defense System, Spiritual System to Perception System, covering all sectors and capable of handling most task requirements."

At this stage, the 73 above level 10 were already a very strong team of Superpower Users.

Lu Heng walked past these people, observing them, searching for suitable helpers for the mission.

As Lu Heng was observing them, these 182 Superpower Users were also staring at Lu Heng.

It was a rare full-gathering day at Huan Yu Security, and they had thought they would meet some high-profile figure, but the person who came was very young, even looking like a student.

This made several strong Superpower Users show impatience on their faces.

At this stage, Superpower Users who could reach levels 17 and 18 had to have perfectly cleared one or two level 3 and above Abyss Battlefields.

Such Superpower Users were very powerful, standing at the top of the pyramid in the first tier.

Strength and temperament often correlate.

Top-tier Superpower Users naturally didn't want to waste time meeting someone unimportant.

The Superpower Users in the sofa area were already whispering among themselves:

"Which major family's young master is this? Another task accompanying the young master on a hunting trip?"

"What else could it be? This company is controlled by the Lin family, initially it was just to provide bodyguards for the Lin family's young master."

"Probably some family that has good private ties with the Lin family. The upside of these tasks is quick payment, but they are indeed quite dull."

In the sofa area, at the table with the highest level, two people recognized Lu Heng.

These two were Wang Xiangfeng and Li Dayong.

They had participated in the final battle at the Evil God's Burial Ground, and after Lin Zeyu was injured, they escorted Lin Zeyu out of the battlefield.

So they had also made it back alive.

Others didn't recognize Lu Heng, but as soon as these two saw him, they immediately stood up and smiled towards Lu Heng.

The surrounding Superpower Users, noticing their odd reaction, reached out and pulled at Wang Xiangfeng, asking, "What are you doing? Your attitude is so respectful, like you've seen some important figure."

Wang Xiangfeng shook off his hand and said in a low voice, "Shut up. Our table combined couldn't last a round against him."

Their table was the highest-level table in the sofa area.

With a total of 6 people, average level 17.

Six average level 17 Superpower Users placed outside would be fiercely sought after by any major power.

Now, someone was saying that these 6 people combined couldn't last a round against a certain person.

This sounded quite preposterous.

"Old Wang, you're joking, right?"

"I'm not joking with you; just go and try if you don't believe."

Soon someone realized and asked, "This person wouldn't happen to be the one who came out of the Evil God's Burial Ground, would he?"

"Yes, he's the one who saved our boss, and Lei Jinhao also died by his hand," Wang Xiangfeng revealed the truth.

Concerning the matters of the Evil God's Burial Ground, the Lin family had imposed a gag order on them.

However, 15 Superpower Users had come out from the Evil God's Burial Ground; with so many people, news couldn't be completely sealed, so the Superpower Users present had heard more or less about the happenings at the Evil God's Burial Ground.

Hearing Wang Xiangfeng say this, the Superpower Users at the table quickly stood up and when they looked towards Lu Heng again, their expressions became very respectful.

Wang Xiangfeng and Li Dayong stepped forward, standing at the front of the queue and greeted, "Brother Lu, it's been a while."

Lu Heng nodded in acknowledgement, "How have you all been?"

"We've been very good, thanks to your care on the Abyss Battlefield." Both men expressed their appreciation with serious expressions.

They were able to return alive and had completed the three Challenge Tasks in the Evil God's Burial Ground, all thanks to Lu Heng dealing with the Evil God's Heart.

With this experience in the Abyss Battlefield, they had become the highest-level superpower users in the Huan Yu Security Company.

"Do you have a mission this time? If there's anything that needs us, just say it," Wang Xiangfeng quickly volunteered.

"I'm here to pick someone today, but I need a superpower user with specific abilities."

Lu Heng merely followed up with their inquiry and then turned to the side to ask the manager, "Do you have any superpower users here who have mastered Healing Reduction abilities?"

The manager clapped his hands and loudly inquired, "Anyone with Healing Reduction abilities, step forward!"

Lu Heng added, "It's the skill that reduces the recovery effects on the target."

The manager repeated the question twice, but no one responded.

Healing Reduction abilities function to diminish the target's recovery effects.

However, human superpower users rarely possess recovery abilities.

Thus, with a limited number of skill slots, most superpower users are trying to stack combat power; not many are willing to learn a skill that doesn't enhance their combat power.

Seeing no one responding, Lin Zeyu also shouted, "Is there really not a single one of you with Healing Reduction abilities?"

He had previously boasted to Lu Heng that he had any type of superpower user available.

Now, the first requirement from Lu Heng was unmet by anyone.

The manager reacted quickly and turned back to Lin Zeyu, suggesting, "Boss, we do have a Healing Reduction Skill Crystal Core in the storage, shall we let someone learn it now?"

Lin Zeyu felt it was a feasible solution and nodded in agreement, "Sure, bring the Skill Crystal Core over for Lu Heng to look at."

The manager had someone fetch a Skill Crystal Core.

[Weapon Empowerment·Reduction Healing: Adds an energy effect to the weapon, causing an attack to reduce the target's recovery effect by 50%. Duration: 10 minutes; Skill Consumption: 10 Source Energy; Skill Level: D-Level.]

"This skill is good, we can use it," Lu Heng evaluated.

Lin Zeyu looked at the superpower users present and asked, "Who still has a skill slot and is willing to learn this skill, step forward."

The superpower users began whispering among one another.

The number of superpower users with available skill slots wasn't high, and even with an available slot, they had to consider the skill combination, whether it was suitable to learn this skill.

After a bout of whispering among the superpower users, finally, two people stepped forward, willing to learn this skill.

At that moment.

Wang Xiangfeng suddenly raised his hand and said, "Brother Lu, how about letting me do it?"

Lin Zeyu curiously asked, "Aren't your skill slots full?"

Wang Xiangfeng explained, "My First Transition class is [Skill Master], and my Source Material ability is to add a special skill slot, moreover, the skill in this slot can be enhanced by the Source Material ability."

Hearing his explanation, Lu Heng promptly grew interested, "This is good, I think we can let Wang Xiangfeng learn this skill. However, you guys discuss it and decide if that's how you want to arrange it."

Wang Xiangfeng's original function was that of an Invisible Reconnaissance Soldier and his skill set was diverse, making it unlikely for him to develop into a primary combat superpower user.

Now, hearing that Lu Heng was looking for a superpower user with Healing Reduction abilities, he might as well learn this skill now and continue hitching a ride.

Lin Zeyu spoke a few words with Wang Xiangfeng and finally agreed to let Wang Xiangfeng learn this skill [Weapon Empowerment·Reduction Healing].

Normally, according to the contracts of the Huan Yu Security Company, the skills learned by their superpower users needed to be recorded at market price.

The subsequent costs would be deducted from the commissions, and until fully offset, the superpower users who used the company's Skill Crystal Cores couldn't leave the company.

However, Wang Xiangfeng had carried Lin Zeyu out of the Temple at the Evil God's Burial Ground.

Thus, Lin Zeyu waved away the cost, directly giving the Skill Crystal Core to Wang Xiangfeng.

Wang Xiangfeng absorbed the energy of the crystal core, gaining the new skill [Weapon Empowerment·Reduction Healing (Source Material Enhanced)].

The skill slot he used was the special skill slot added by the First Transition class [Skill Master], and the learned skill would receive an enhanced effect.

"What's the effect after enhancement?" Lu Heng asked.

"The Healing Reduction effect has increased to 70%," Wang Xiangfeng answered.

"Not bad, a D-level skill with a C-level effect. Plus, the skill consumption is even less than that of a C-level skill," Lu Heng remarked.

Subsequently.

Lu Heng picked a few more superpower users for this offshore operation.

Having previously experienced the Abyss Battlefield with Wang Xiangfeng and Li Dayong and cooperated well.

Since he was bringing Wang Xiangfeng, he might as well bring Li Dayong along too.

The team was successfully assembled, including 12 people in total with the superpower users responsible for steering the boat.

With the team members arranged, weapons still needed to be prepared.

Huan Yu Security Company had an officially authorized gun license, so Lin Zeyu also prepared a batch of firearms.

Everything was ready, and the next day, they set sail on a yacht, embarking on this offshore voyage.
