Chapter 92: Dual-Effect Weapons, Divine Artifacts!

Chapter 92: Dual-Effect Weapons, Divine Artifacts!

Lin Zeyu didn't go back to retrieve the materials himself but instead had them delivered directly, eager to continue the tempering process.

After his previous four consecutive successes, Lin Zeyu was exhilarated, eagerly rubbing his hands as he stared at the tempering forge.

Lu Heng cautioned, "The higher the tempering level, the higher the failure rate. You need to think this through."

"I know, I know. If I don't fail once, I'm afraid my luck will be used up here, and I'll have bad luck elsewhere. Go for it! I can handle a failure or two, as long as the soul infusion doesn't fail." Lin Zeyu was remarkably nonchalant about the potential failures.

Lu Heng started the forge again and began tempering the SVD sniper rifle.

The tempering process went smoothly, but when it came to fusing the tempering materials with the rifle's body, they didn't meld, resulting in a failed tempering attempt.

Tempering Master's Professional Experience +20.

Lu Heng furrowed his brows, recalling the previous operation and considering what adjustments he could make.

Lin Zeyu wasn't the least bit disappointed. Instead, he wore a calm expression, saying, "Excellent, it finally failed. Now I'm relieved. Keep going, don't stop."

Lu Heng continued the tempering process, learning from the previous experience, and successfully tempered the rifle on his second attempt.

He then achieved three consecutive successes, and when it came time for soul infusion, he focused his mind to the utmost.

As the soul infusion process concluded, Lin Zeyu anxiously rubbed his hands and asked, "How is it? How is it?"

Lu Heng retrieved the SVD sniper rifle, took a glance at it, and then handed it over, saying, "See for yourself."

Lin Zeyu took the sniper rifle, examined it briefly, and then his entire body seemed to buzz with excitement. He shouted, "YES! YES! Lu Heng, you're a tempering master among masters! That dog-shit He Shangyong can go to hell!"

SVD Sniper Rifle Tempering Level: 6

[SVD Sniper Rifle +6 (Abyssal Synthesis)]



[Item Grade: B-Rank]



[Attributes: Attack Power 540]



[Effects: Bone Eroding, Wind Resistance]



[Wind Resistance: Reduces wind resistance by 50%, slowing the rate of attack power reduction during bullet flight.]



This rifle was incredibly formidable at this stage.

Moreover, [Wind Resistance] had an additional hidden effect; by reducing wind resistance, it indirectly increased the speed of the bullet, thereby improving accuracy.

This rifle was likely the first dual-effect weapon on Bluestar, and if it were to be auctioned, it would probably be fiercely competed for by the 33rd-level families of the ASE Union, with the potential for astronomical prices.

Lin Zeyu's confidence soared, and it wasn't long ago that he had felt weak and complained to Lu Heng.

Now, holding the B-Rank sniper rifle, he felt like bursting into laughter.

Subsequently, Lu Heng began the soul infusion process for the Aurora Blade.

He infused the Sharpening Soul Infusion Essence, melting, refining, and infusing...

After the process, the Aurora Blade emitted a faint glow.

[Soul Infusion Successful. Aurora Blade gains the new effect 'Sharpening'.]



[Aurora Blade +7 (Abyssal Synthesis)]



[Item Grade: C-Rank]



[Specifications: Length 132 cm, Blade Width 3.6 cm, Weight 1.6 kg]



[Attributes: Attack Power 150]



[Effects: Soul Slayer, Sharpening]



[Sharpening: A unique effect for bladed weapons, increasing sharpness. Weapon Attack Power +50, and damage against hard materials increased by 30%.]



Another dual-effect weapon!

The [Sharpening] effect directly added 50 attack power, making it incredibly powerful.

Moreover, cold weapons could gain a strength boost from their users.

If the Aurora Blade had been this powerful during the battle at the Evil God's Graveyard, it could have easily defeated Archangel Sages with a single strike.

"How is it?" Lin Zeyu eagerly joined Lu Heng to observe the blade.

"It's not bad. It's probably one of the only two dual-effect weapons on Bluestar," Lu Heng said, not exaggerating.

Lin Zeyu glanced at the Aurora Blade's attributes and praised, "This sword can take down anyone! With these two divine artifacts, we fear no one."

He turned to look at Su Muyu and teased, "Look at Su Muyu's expression; she's so envious she's stunned."

Su Muyu furrowed her brows and glared, "I am not!"

Lu Heng turned and playfully tapped her forehead, saying, "I'll upgrade your crossbow next time."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'm a support type, so weapon upgrades aren't a priority for me," Su Muyu said, but she was actually delighted inside.

It was the third month of the Abyssal Invasion, and she had already reached the rank of a 19th-level Mutant, standing at the pinnacle of the first-tier Mutants.

Therefore, she was quite satisfied with her current combat power.

"Alright, today's weapon enhancement was a success. Let's call it a day. We'll wait for the official bounty announcement and regroup then."

After leaving the Tempering Fortress, Lu Heng and Su Muyu returned to Splendid Imperial View.

Lin Zeyu, on the other hand, headed back to Blue Sea International, taking a slight detour to drop Lu Heng and Su Muyu off at the main entrance of Splendid Imperial View.

A few days ago, Lin Zeyu had arranged for the purchase of the Splendid Imperial View flat, successfully becoming Lu Heng's landlord.

He even used another communication number to add Lu Heng as a friend, posing as the new landlord, infiltrating Lu Heng's social circle.

Upon returning to Splendid Imperial View, Lu Heng inquired about Su Muyu's skill proficiency.

"Hmm, I've maxed out the proficiency of the Invisible Veil, should I upgrade it now?" Su Muyu had always been frugal with her Divine Energy, adhering to the principle of saving whenever possible.

Lu Heng smiled upon hearing that she had mastered the skill, "You've made great progress. Upgrading the stealth skill is indeed necessary. Let's do it now. The level of this stealth skill is a bit low, and it's not very effective against Seers with reconnaissance abilities."

Su Muyu was a Sensory Ability User herself, and her detection range for stealth was 8 times her Perception.

Her current Perception was at 41 points, which meant her detection range for stealth reached 328 meters.

Even from the top of a hundred-story skyscraper, she could detect stealth units on the ground.

In other words, Su Muyu's detection skill rendered her own stealth skill almost useless.

Lu Heng used his Divine Evolution talent to unlock the Skill Lock on Invisible Veil - Hide Shadow, allowing her to upgrade the skill.

Su Muyu introduced 300 points of Divine Energy into the skill slot, merging it with the original energy cluster.

After more than ten minutes, the skill upgrade was complete.

She glanced at the upgraded skill's effects, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Large Cloaking Veil - Shadow Escape

Skill Level: C-Rank

Skill Consumption: 5 Source Energy per minute

Skill Range: 30-meter diameter

Skill Effect 1: Release energy to create an invisible veil, covering objects and granting optical invisibility while blocking scent and infrared detection.

Skill Effect 2: Stealth gains detection resistance, with a resistance coefficient of 6 times Perception.

"The upgrade was successful, and it's now a Large Cloaking Veil. The skill range has expanded to 30 meters, which is much larger than before, and there's also a new detection resistance effect," Su Muyu briefly explained the upgraded skill's effects.

Lu Heng listened and commented, "The effects are powerful, and the stealth coverage area is even larger than I expected. It will be very useful for our upcoming plan."

The original Invisible Veil only had a two-meter diameter coverage, barely enough for one person to enter stealth.

Now, with a 30-meter range, it could make an entire building disappear from sight.

...

After fully upgrading their weapons, skills, and Rank abilities, Lu Heng calmly waited for the Bonebird to appear.

As expected, with the increasing number of marine creature corpses appearing offshore, ships began to capture images of the Bonebird, causing a sensation.

News outlets competed to report on this terrifying creature that had emerged from the sea, naming it the "Bonebird."

This terrifying creature, with its pair of wings and body covered in exoskeleton, had a natural affinity for eating large marine creature corpses, leading journalists to call it the "Bonebird."

However, from a biological perspective, this creature had no actual relation to birds.

This terrifying creature, over 30 meters in length, could fly in the sky and hunt down any large marine creatures it encountered.

There were even reports of ships being attacked.

Soon after the Bonebird's appearance, the authorities issued a bounty.

Simultaneously, they designated the area where the Bonebird was spotted as a dangerous zone, suspending all shipping routes within.

Subsequently, the authorities deployed drones to search for the Bonebird on the sea's surface, but to no avail.

The Bonebird appeared and then vanished, leaving no trace of its whereabouts.

This terrifying creature, with its 30-meter length, was indeed massive.

However, in the vast ocean, finding it was no easy task.

Lin Zeyu saw the news about the Bonebird and immediately called Lu Heng:

"It's here! It's the Bonebird, just as we predicted. It looks terrifying. The authorities have issued a bounty. When are we leaving?"

He couldn't wait to test the power of his dual-effect SVD sniper rifle.

Lu Heng calmly asked, "Have you found the personnel you were looking for?"

"Universe Security Company is under my family's control. You can choose any mutant bodyguard from the company. If you're not satisfied, we can also rent from other security companies," Lin Zeyu replied.

"Alright, tomorrow we'll go and look at the personnel files," Lu Heng said, then hung up.

The next morning, Lin Zeyu drove over to pick up Lu Heng and Su Muyu, heading to Universe Security Company.

A month and a half ago, when the Abyssal Worms were ravaging Gardenia Beach, Lin Zeyu had taken his yacht, along with a group of mutants, to hunt down the creatures on the sea.

Later, his family directly acquired a security company, renaming it Universe Security, and began recruiting large numbers of mutant security personnel.

Currently, over 200 mutants were registered under Universe Security Company.

These mutant bodyguards had different contracts.

Some were required to work at the company, while others were just registered and would only be called upon for missions.

The day before, when Lu Heng mentioned selecting personnel, Lin Zeyu notified all the mutant bodyguards to assemble at the company for the leader's inspection.
