"What did it upgrade to? If the upgrade effect isn't good, let me know so I can have some fun," Lin Zeyu asked about the upgrade effect of [Prism Tower Shield].
After signing the team contract, the jokes Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu shared became more cutting.
Su Muyu had been looking at the post-upgrade skill effects, so when asked, he recited the data of the skill after the upgrade.
[Prism Force Field: Releases energy to create a 3×3 square meter triangular force field. Any material entering the force field would slow down, eventually to zero. Skill duration: 6 seconds. Skill consumption: 40 Source Energy points. Skill level: C Level.]
"This skill's effect..." Lin Zeyu wasn't sure how strong the skill actually was after hearing the data.
"C Level skill, B Level defense effect," Lu Heng concluded.
Originally, [Prism Tower Shield] was a D Level skill with a C Level defense effect.
After the upgrade, [Prism Force Field] became a C Level skill with a B Level defense effect.
Just speaking of defense power, it was pretty formidable.
Of course, as before, this skill still required timing for its release.
However, the duration had been increased from 3 seconds to 6 seconds, greatly increasing the margin of error.
When Lin Zeyu heard it was a C Level skill with B Level defense, he realized that the upgrade effect was quite impressive.
However, he quickly thought that, after this upgrade, he would benefit the most from [Prism Force Field].
In future duels, having a stable 6 seconds of invincibility sounded incredibly thrilling.
After helping Su Muyu upgrade his skill, Lu Heng also checked his own skill proficiency.
The proficiency of [Gale Step·Stab] had reached (1920/2000), and it was not far from an upgrade.
So, for the next two days,
Lu Heng focused on practicing the proficiency of Gale Step, and by the morning two days later, he had filled the proficiency of [Gale Step·Stab] to 2000 points.
With sweat still on his body, Lu Heng unlocked the skill lock on Gale Step, injected 600 points of Divine Energy, and commenced the upgrade.
["Gale Step·Stab" skill upgraded to "Windwalker."]
[Skill level: B Level]
[Skill consumption: 5 Source Energy points/minute]
[Skill effect: Gain the power of the gale, increasing running speed by 120%. Charge in place for two seconds, gather the power of windwalking, and burst forth with a 3x acceleration effect for a straight-line thrust. Additionally, reduces air resistance and improves durability when breaking the sound barrier.]
Seeing the upgraded skill, Lu Heng's eyes lit up.
This upgrade had surprisingly given him one of the top three speed enhancement skills in the B Level category.
[Windwalker] had been the skill of the first superpower user to break the sound barrier in his past life.
However, this barrier-breaking superpower user had only appeared a year after Abyss Descent and was already a peak Level 30 superpower user at that time.
Now, only seven months in, breaking the sound barrier at this point would be quite terrifying.
The reason [Windwalker] could break the sound barrier mainly involved two factors, the first being the reduction in air resistance.
The second was charging in place for two seconds before launching a straight-line thrust with a 3x acceleration effect.
This 3x acceleration effect wasn't simply 300%, but actually 3x the effectiveness of the skill acceleration, or effectively 360%.
Lu Heng found a spacious area and tested the skill effect.
He charged in place for two seconds, then launched a straight-line thrust, thrusting forward a hundred meters with a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, he had already reached beyond a hundred meters.
However, he did not break the sound barrier during the thrust.
Actually, Lu Heng had calculated the data beforehand.
His current level was 26, with an Agility Attribute of 74 points. After the accelerated thrust of [Windwalker], his instantaneous speed exceeded 200 meters/second, not yet reaching the speed to break the sound barrier.
However, this was just the acceleration from [Windwalker]. If the 300% acceleration from [Shadow Traversal] was added, according to the calculated results, it had reached the threshold for breaking the sound barrier.
Before he had time to test further, he suddenly received a call from Lin Zeyu.
Yuan Hecheng, looking haggard, had run to the Flame Emblem Building for help. His daughter had been conscripted the night before at twelve o'clock, and he had waited all night without her return.
"Please, save Yaoyao, save her..."
When Lu Heng arrived at the Flame Emblem Building, he saw Yuan Hecheng kneeling in front of Lin Zeyu, pleading.
Lin Zeyu didn't know what to do, and he was completely out of ideas.
Lu Heng had already heard about the situation over the phone, and it was now almost noon.
Yuan Yaoyao had been transported into the Abyss Battlefield the previous night at twelve o'clock, and it had been almost half a day with no return.
In such a situation, the prospects were generally grim.
Although many possibilities existed in the Abyss World, and sometimes superpower users didn't return on time, there weren't any cases of death.
However, such incidents were rare.
Moreover, people outside the Abyss Battlefield could not influence those within the battlefield.
Even if Lu Heng wanted to help, there was nothing he could do.
Yuan Hecheng also knew that no one could help him, but he couldn't accept the reality and ultimately collapsed to the ground.
Lu Heng helped him to the couch to rest, wanting to offer some words of comfort but not knowing what to say.
In situations , no words of comfort would suffice.
For Yuan Hecheng, his daughter was his life, and now that he had lost her, he no longer saw any reason to live.
As the clock struck twelve noon.
