From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Lu Heng first explained the Skill Upgrade process and precautions, then he helped him unlock the Skill Lock.

Xie Shi'en had two Skills to upgrade, one was Level C, and the other was Level B.

A Level C Skill Upgrade required 600 points of Divine Energy, while a Level B Skill Upgrade required 1500 points of Divine Energy.

In total, he used 2100 points, and his two Skills were upgraded to Level B and Level A.

The Level B Skill was "Spiritual Power Amplification," and the Level A Skill was "Field Expansion."

After upgrading both Skills, even the usually serious face of Xie Shi'en couldn't help but show a smile.

Especially the Level A "Field Expansion" Skill, which could increase the coverage area of field-class powers by 100%.

This meant his Spiritual Field was stronger than other Spirit Mind Masters, where others had a field range of 30 meters, he could reach 60 meters.

This Skill fundamentally changed the abilities of a "Spirit Mind Master."

...

Initially, the team of three increased to four, and after becoming teammates, their relationship grew closer.

The four continued to discuss matters and exchanged the information they knew.

Before becoming teammates, some information was difficult to reveal; after becoming teammates, they did not need to be so cautious.

Xie Shi'en took the initiative and said, "I have some information that was supposed to be confidential, but I think I can tell you guys. However, this secret must only be known within the team and must not be leaked."

"You say."

"I reported to my teacher's department to ask them to take care of my teacher's wife, and later contacted them twice. I have formed a cooperative relationship with the security department. Currently, I am an external staff member, providing them with some intelligence about the Creator Organization. Therefore, the state is aware of the existence of the Creator Organization, but currently, the organization has not caused serious harm, so there is no direct conflict."

This situation matched Lu Heng's expectations; if they were to confront the Creator Organization in the future, they could also utilize the power of the state.

This was considered good news.

While chatting, they also discussed the recently concluded Abyss Battlefield and started to make their final summaries.

After seriously reviewing the events of the Abyss Battlefield, Lu Heng realized there was still one thing unclear, "Although we have returned, there is still one question from this Abyss Battlefield that we haven't found an answer to."

Su Muyu picked up the conversation, "Are you talking about the person who sneaked into the Elf Royal City palace and opened the Gate of Hell?"

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Yes, we have already discovered four Traitors, the team of Black Field.

"I used Spiritual Torture on Black Field, and it was their team who internally blew up the walls of Kolos City, so there is no doubt that they are Traitors.

"At that time, they left West District and wanted to head to the palace area; perhaps their other Traitor Task was to open the Gate of Hell.

"However, their actions were intercepted by us, and who opened the Gate of Hell afterward remains unknown."

Xie Shi'en did not participate in the final battle, so he heard these things secondhand.

This allowed him to step outside of the events and observe from a different perspective.

He helped analyze from an observer's perspective, "Since the original task of opening the Gate of Hell was assigned to Black Field's team, and this task was given to Traitors,

"I think that Traitort Tasks must have something in common; since this task is a Traitor Task, it's very likely other Traitors were also executing this task."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement, "That's what I think too, but it was too chaotic in the city at the time, the Elf Guard didn't notice who opened the Gate of Hell, and afterward, it was impossible to investigate."

After the final battle, it was also close to the time for their return, so even if they wanted to investigate, they did not have enough time.

Moreover, this time, the number of Superpower Users summoned to the Elf World was quite large, coming from many different countries.

Lu Heng had seen Superpower Users from the White Eagle Federation, Lion Heart Empire, Fusang, Shendu, and several other minor countries.

Because of the complexity of the Superpower Users, a Superpower User from any country could potentially be a Traitor, making the investigation very difficult.

As for the Superpower Users from Da Xia, Lu Heng had basically met them all, and teams like Chen Zihang, Rong Xincheng were all allies.

At that time, they also participated in the final battle together; the chances of them being Traitors were low.

If there were any suspects among the Superpower Users from Da Xia, it would likely only be Zhuo Hongjun.

Lu Heng had suspected Zhuo Hongjun, but besides their first meeting, Zhuo Hongjun hadn't caused trouble afterward.

Moreover, Wu Weibing, Tao Yalun, and others kept in touch with Zhuo Hongjun; after all, they came from military backgrounds, and it was necessary to maintain contact given Zhuo Hongjun's higher military rank.

From the known information, Zhuo Hongjun's suspicions weren't big.

Furthermore, in Lu Heng's memory, although Zhuo Hongjun was useless, there was no information indicating he was a Traitor.

Thinking from Zhuo Hongjun's perspective, as long as he stayed alive, his future position would only rise higher; there was no need for him to risk becoming a Traitor.

...

After concluding the Abyss Battlefield debrief discussion, the four of them each returned home.

Having been in the Elf World for a month and experiencing many things, they were finally back home, and everyone wanted to return and see their families and stay at home for a few days.

The thing Lu Heng wanted to do the most now was to lie on the couch at home, watch boring soap operas, eat fruits cut by his mom, and listen to her nagging.

Su Muyu missed her mother very much; the longer she stayed in the Abyss World, the more she longed.
