Chapter 30: Gale Fist King

Chapter 30: Gale Fist King

As Su Muyu and Lu Heng were studying the skill upgrade effects, Su Muyu's expression suddenly turned serious, and she alerted, "Someone's coming."

The two quickly stood up and saw a man and a woman emerge from the woods.

The man, in his late twenties, had silver hair and an imposing aura, clearly an extraordinary power user of a considerable level.

The woman, in her early twenties, wore black stockings and heavy makeup, looking extremely delicate.

However, her natural features paled in comparison to Su Muyu, even with her meticulous makeup.

The two walked onto the beach, and the black-stocking woman looked up at the sky, where the Recon Eagle was flying, and raised her hand, spreading her five fingers. She clenched her fist in the air, aiming at the eagle, which shook violently in response.

The upgraded Recon Eagle had improved defense, and this aerial attack didn't manage to destroy it.

But Su Muyu still felt the psychic shock and shuddered.

Sensing the malice from the woman, Su Muyu whispered to Lu Heng, "That woman might be the Perception User from the Gongteng Corporation incident. Her skill is very similar to the one used on the eagle."

Lu Heng pulled her behind him and faced the couple, his voice stern. "That's not a very polite way to greet people."

The black-stocking woman laughed seductively, "Don't be so tense. I was just joking with this little sister."

"Cut the crap. What do you want?" Lu Heng's gaze was icy as he stared at the two.

The silver-haired man turned to look at the sea, his tone domineering. "We're claiming this beach. Leave the crystal core and pack up your things. You can leave."

The intention was clear—they wanted to take over the beach.

Lu Heng wasn't surprised by this situation.

This beach was located behind the Shoreline Highway, separated only by a small grove of trees.

Standing on the highway, one could easily observe the beach.

Lu Heng had been hunting Abyssal Tide Worms on this beach for the past few days, making it highly likely for passing vehicles to spot him.

Obviously, this couple must have noticed the presence of the worms and wanted to claim the territory.

In the early stages of the Deep Abyss Invasion, hunting these worms not only provided experience but also yielded Devil Crystal Cores, an attractive reward that few could resist.

"You want the territory and the crystal core? That's quite greedy. Can you handle it all?" Lu Heng found the situation amusing, never expecting to encounter this so soon.

"I've got a big appetite," the silver-haired man said confidently, his neck stretched, eyes filled with a mix of arrogance and greed.

...

The Deep Abyss Invasion brought not only crisis but also extraordinary powers to the human world.

With the rise of power came inflated ambitions and a craving for greater strength.

The primary means of obtaining these extraordinary powers were Devil Crystal Cores.

As a result, conflicts among extraordinary power users over these cores were inevitable, sometimes even leading to life-or-death struggles.

Seeing the silver-haired man's eyes, filled with both arrogance and greed, Lu Heng knew this was a fight he couldn't avoid. He stretched his limbs and asked, "How do you plan to take it? Speak."

"You're going to resist? Interesting." The silver-haired man rolled up his sleeves, revealing muscular arms, and a combative smile.

Lu Heng pulled Su Muyu out of the battlefield and handed her the Geluo Handgun, instructing, "You go first. Don't worry about me."

Su Muyu nodded slightly and walked into the shade, slowly packing her backpack.

Lu Heng turned to face the silver-haired man, signaling, "Let's begin."

The silver-haired man wrapped a cloth around his fist and charged forward, throwing a straight punch at Lu Heng's face. The punch was powerful, fast, and vicious.

Just from the sound of the wind it created, Lu Heng knew that if it landed, his face would suffer at least a fracture, if not a complete deformation.

With the boost from his Agile as Dragon talent, Lu Heng's agility had reached 22 points, making him exceptionally agile even among extraordinary power users of the same level.

Agility primarily enhanced one's nervous system response speed, motor coordination, attack speed, and running speed.

Therefore, in terms of reflexes, Lu Heng surpassed his peers.

The silver-haired man's punch was swift and fierce, but Lu Heng slightly tilted his head and dodged it.

After two exchanges, Lu Heng realized that the silver-haired man might be a professional boxer, as he only used 70% of his strength when punching, reserving the remaining 30%.

Whether his punches landed or not, he would immediately retract them, preparing for the next defensive move or continuing the offense.

Thus, the silver-haired man not only punched quickly but also retracted his punches with equal speed.

He threw a right punch, and even if it missed, as he retracted his right arm, his left punch was already on its way out.

Lu Heng had just dodged the right punch by tilting his head to the right, and immediately tilted his head to the left to avoid the left punch.

A few punches later, none of them landed.

The silver-haired man was slightly surprised, as he was well aware that with his current strength and agility, even a world boxing champion would struggle to withstand his punches.

After the first round of clashes, Lu Heng estimated the man's level and attributes based on the sound of the air exploding from his punches.

This man's strength attribute was close to 20 points, with slightly lower agility.

To possess such high attributes, this man's level must be at least 9 or higher.

At this point in time, there weren't many metahumans who had reached such a high level.

Only with the memories of his rebirth could Lu Heng have risen to level 9 so quickly.

For the silver-haired man to have reached level 9 in such a short time, he must have a strong financial backing.

With sufficient financial resources and access to devil crystal cores, one could indeed rapidly enhance their abilities during the early stages of the Abyssal Descent.

Take Tang Hongda as an example; before his death, he was acquiring devil crystal cores for others.

As long as one has enough money and access to devil crystal cores, they can absorb demon energy to boost their level, which at this point in time, can indeed reach level 9.

...

After dodging another straight punch, Lu Heng launched a counterattack, throwing out two whip-like kicks with lightning-fast speed.

The silver-haired man's eyes narrowed, realizing that the kicks were too fast to dodge, so he quickly raised his arms to block them.

Two loud bangs echoed as the silver-haired man, though uninjured, was forced back two steps by the impact.

After taking two kicks, the silver-haired man's smile became even more excited: "Interesting."

He tilted his head back and let out a roar, unleashing his essence energy, causing his entire body to rise into the air, floating mid-air.

Strong winds blew around him, making his silver hair dance wildly, and his aura soared, becoming incredibly powerful.

Lu Heng was stunned by this sight.

He hadn't remembered it before, but now seeing him floating in mid-air with his silver hair dancing, he finally recalled who he was.

In his previous life, this man was a top metahuman known as the "Gale Fist King" Lei Jinhao.

He was the leader of one of the three major metahuman teams in Binhai, "Thunderclap."

And the silver hair on his head wasn't dyed; it had gradually turned silver after obtaining the power of the gale.

However, his current appearance differed significantly from the "Gale Fist King" in Lu Heng's memories.

In Lu Heng's memories, whenever the "Gale Fist King" unleashed his power, the sky would transform with wind, clouds, lightning, and thunder.

Currently, his level wasn't high enough, so the strength he displayed wasn't as formidable.

Even so, at this point in time, the ability to unleash power and float in mid-air demonstrated an absolute peak in metahuman strength.

After unleashing his gale power, he let out a mighty roar and leaped three meters high, throwing a charging punch at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng dared not be careless; he stepped on the gale, sliding and dodging with agility.

Bang! The silver-haired man's punch slammed into the sandy beach, sending sand flying and creating a large crater.

After unleashing his gale power, his charging speed increased, and his punches became more ferocious.

However, after Lu Heng activated Gale Step, his speed increased by 80%, allowing him to move with ease beneath the man's punches, with room to spare.

Moreover, during the battle, Lu Heng's proficiency in Gale Step further improved.

[Using Gale Step in combat, skill proficiency +1]



[Gale Step proficiency at 99/100, just one step away from mastery.]
