CHAPTER 665: CHAPTER 407: SPACE CONTINUOUS SLASH·REVISED_2

Lu Heng took a deep breath, raised his hand, and said firmly, "Do you want to give it a try? Let’s do this together, unite all civilizations invaded by the Abyss, and find a way to defeat the Abyss."

Queen Orelana was momentarily astonished because she saw a resolute belief in Lu Heng’s eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly felt that perhaps this human in front of her could truly achieve it.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, it is worth trying.

A sense of fervor rose within her, and she solemnly raised her right hand to clasp Lu Heng’s, then said loudly:

"Alright, if the future is destined for decline, then let’s start now and fight with everything we have!"

After making a bold statement, Lu Heng scratched his head and said, "Currently, I can only represent myself and my trusted teammates, not all of humanity, but I will abide by the alliance’s agreement."

In contrast, Queen Orelana truly represents the entire Elf Clan.

The Queen’s pledge to the alliance meant that the entire Elf Clan joined the alliance.

Queen Orelana smiled, unconcerned, "I am not worried about that. You are the most unique human I’ve ever seen, even among many civilizations’ Summoners. I believe one day you will represent your people."

"Alright, hopefully," Lu Heng responded with a bright smile.

"Did you come here to continue practicing Terres’ swordsmanship?" Queen Orelana changed the topic.

Lu Heng nodded in affirmation, "Yes, I want to practice swordsmanship further."

Queen Orelana remarked, "I notice one feature, humans have a remarkable talent for learning."

This trait does exist, but not every human possesses such strong learning talent.

Different species have different talents.

Elves have long lives and a closer affinity to nature with magical talent.

While humans seem ordinary in every aspect, they are one of the strongest learning species among many.

Humans need only one-tenth of the time elves require to learn a comparable amount of knowledge and skills.

Queen Orelana raised her hand, summoning an Arcane Demon Spirit, saying, "I hope it can assist you."

She left the Arcane Demon Spirit behind, then turned and departed from Claw Print Lake.

This Arcane Demon Spirit, a magical pet trained by Queen Orelana, has strong combat power and mastery over potent Arcane Jump skills.

Recently, Lu Heng often practiced Space Continuous Slash at Claw Print Lake, and Queen Orelana had watched from the wall by the lake, leaving the Arcane Demon Spirit for sparring.

Lu Heng raised both hands, respectfully saluted the Arcane Demon Spirit, and then drew his sword to start practicing.

Though humans have a strong learning ability, mastering the third Sword Saint’s Ultimate Skill in such a short period isn’t easy.

To perform a Space Continuous Slash, one must first have the ability to slice space.

According to Terres, by mastering LV3 Wind Dragon Breathless Slash, one can touch the ability to slice space.

However, this is merely touching, not enough to slice space with the capability to travel through it.

In fact.

Though Terres taught the third ultimate skill, he never intended for Lu Heng to master it in this Abyss battlefield, but feared there might be no future chance, so he taught it in advance for Lu Heng to practice slowly later.

As per Terres’ thoughts, truly performing a Space Continuous Slash requires Wind Dragon Breathless Slash at LV4 or even LV5 for possibility.

Because LV3 Wind Dragon Breathless Slash’s power barely touches the energy level needed to fracture space; it is far from enough to perform Space Continuous Slash.

However, Lu Heng found a clever way, integrating the power of Rift Slash into Wind Dragon Breathless Slash.

Lu Heng has fused Wind Dragon Breathless Slash and Rift Slash several times, achieving a perfect blend through numerous battles.

Thus, Lu Heng now uses the power of LV3 Wind Dragon Breathless Slash for practicing Space Continuous Slash.

The Wind Dragon Breathless Slash, infused with Rift Slash’s power, can create wind blades that break space.

The drawback is using Rift Slash consumes Source Material Energy, preventing consecutive usage.

The Arcane Demon Spirit is a diligent sparring partner, always using Arcane Jump skills to teleport on the lake surface every time Lu Heng performs Space Continuous Slash.

Lu Heng executed Space Continuous Slash, locking onto its position, consecutively teleporting and slashing to unleash an array of "boom boom boom" space burst sounds.

Finally, after countless slashes, Lu Heng received a notification.

[You’ve gained insight from your practice and learned the martial skill "Space Continuous Slash·Revised."]

[During practice, body attributes improved, Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1, Constitution +0.1]

Seeing the Sword Saint’s Ultimate Skill mastered, Lu Heng viewed the attribute panel to verify the data.

...

The Space Continuous Slash skill indeed appeared on the character panel, but it wasn’t the regular "Space Continuous Slash"; instead, it was "Space Continuous Slash·Revised."

After some thought, it’s understandable—the self-practiced Space Continuous Slash needs Rift Slash’s power to perform and significantly differs from Terres’ Space Continuous Slash.

After mastering Space Continuous Slash, Lu Heng again saluted the sparring Arcane Demon Spirit in gratitude for its assistance.

The Arcane Demon Spirit seemed to grasp this human etiquette, likewise saluting with a bow in return.

...

After two days of preparation, the Xiling City sealing plan officially commenced.

Ke Yiming obtained the third Anti-Demon Alliance Commander’s statue, injured two Elf Guards, and fled Kolos City to regroup with the other four team members.

After the day’s preparation, the Creator Organization’s raiding team emerged before the Heath Mountain Range.

Red Beard shouldered a Pulse Warhammer, tilting his head to gaze at the city ruins on the mountain, asking, "025, are you sure the information is accurate?"

With an icy tone, Ke Yiming, bearing a scarred mask, replied, "If you don’t believe it, you are free not to participate. This Dragon’s Tooth is a sword, and I am most suited within the team."

Dragon’s Tooth was the sword of the previous Elf Sword Saint Santos, rumored to be forged from the tooth of a Demigod Level giant dragon.

The legend of Dragon’s Tooth is no secret among the Elf Clan; any elf could tell you.

Equally, Dragon’s Tooth being the previous Elf Sword Saint’s sword is not a secret.

Thus, once confirming the sealed elf elite’s corpse beneath Xiling City is Santos, Dragon’s Tooth’s presence in the seal is assured.

Pharaoh, wearing a golden mask, stepped toward Xiling City ruins, stretching out his hand to ask, "Now that we’re here, hand over the Elf King statue."

Ke Yiming hesitated for two seconds, then produced Elf King Talnas’ statue to pass over, adding, "I nearly died in Kolos City. This time’s yield, I must claim the largest share; I want nothing else, just Dragon’s Tooth."

Pharaoh didn’t respond to his demand, receiving the statue, then entering Xiling City.

After three hundred years of sand and dust, this city lay in ruins, filled with decayed remains and traces left by demons and Abyss creatures.

Ke Yiming persisted, continuing his demand, "Once Santos’ corpse is retrieved, it can be exchanged with the Bone Sovereign for potentially richer rewards; claiming Dragon’s Tooth isn’t excessive."

At this point.

An ability user, hidden in the shadows, stepped out, saying, "Dragon’s Tooth suits me too; you already have Death God Scythe. You can’t have this sword."

"Death God’s Deputy Scythe is something I acquired personally, not given by the team. I am now the only Fourth Transition Rank here; don’t test me," Ke Yiming retorted angrily, nearly clashing with Dark Star.

This is common in raiding team dynamics, a group formed for profit naturally engages in conflicts over interests.

"Enough, shut up," Pharaoh commanded, casting a glance as tensions escalated, asserting his authority as team leader.

The rest of the team quieted down, following towards the depths of Xiling City.
