From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 237 - 193 New Invitation Target_2

Especially in the last battle at the Delrimus 3 base—if they could have held the base, they could have attained a higher status with the Descent Faction.

Then they would have been eligible to request technological data from the upper echelons of the Descent Faction.

On Blue Star, the arms race among major powers had never ceased.

It was a matter of balancing the economy and military.

And technology was the keystone in the arms race, particularly technology that was ahead of its time.

Therefore,

when the nations of the world learned of the existence of the Cyber World within the Abyss Battlefield, they had been trying to acquire technological data from the Cyber World.

The first batch of cyber-technology weapons brought back by the Superpower Users mostly went into research institutions of various countries.

However, these Cyber World technologies differed greatly from Human World technologies.

Trying to study the Cyber World weapons by dismantling them was difficult and inefficient.

Thus, a simpler and more effective method was to take the technological data directly from the Cyber World.

There had been Superpower Users who succeeded before, but they only obtained technological data in specific fields, which helped break through certain technologies but did not greatly enhance the overall technological progress.

...

With a sarcastic expression, the Intelligence Agency official said, "You failed, but several Eastern Superpower Users succeeded. We just received the news that they obtained a piece of top-secret technological data."

Upon hearing this news, Alex Austin's expression instantly stiffened.

In a deep voice, he said, "If it hadn't been for some strange reasons that saw to my team being saddled with four useless members, I definitely wouldn't have lost."

From the very beginning of assembling his team, he had been dissatisfied with certain team members.

The reasons those waste-of-spaces joined were unacceptable to him, it was bad enough that some were male and some female, but there were also those who were neither.

The Intelligence Agency official laughed and said, "This time you get to pick your own team, go retrieve that technological data. With this data, the Federation can be great once more."

Alex Austin slightly narrowed his eyes and clenched his fist, saying, "This time when picking my team, no one is allowed to interfere, otherwise I will withdraw immediately."

This demand was not something a regular Intelligence Agency official could promise.

Sitting in the conference room, having been silent all along, Fisher Raymond was the one who truly held decision-making power there.

After listening to everyone's statements, he finally spoke,

"You may, but if your requirements are met and you still fail, you know what the consequences will be."

Alex Austin held his head high with confidence, even a bit of arrogance, as he loudly proclaimed, "As long as the team is assembled according to my specifications, the team I lead will be the strongest on this planet. No matter who stands before me, I will crush them!"

...

As time entered the eighth month of the Abyss invasion, great changes began to take place in the Human World.

An old era had passed, old powers had fallen into silence, and new forces had emerged.

The era of the Transcendents had become inevitable.

Just a few months earlier, certain groups and forces wanted to "restore order from chaos" by researching ways to remove the extraordinary powers of the Superpower Users.

These counter-current forces and organizations, however, were all engulfed by the rolling waves of the era, vanishing in the flood of time.

New powers rose, and old powers embraced extraordinary strength, becoming new rulers.

The upheavals and changes of an era became stories frequently enacted in the middle of the Abyss Descent.

In the tides of era transformation, the financial nations, which only knew how to suck blood, were in peril, only the industrial nations could ensure sufficient force to resist the Abyss invasion.

And Da Xia was the largest industrial nation on Blue Star.

Not only that, Da Xia had also received a set of technology data from the Sikes Civilization, and they had literally grasped the future in their hands.

...

At this time, in a training facility by the Coastal region of Da Xia, Lu Heng was practicing his swordsmanship.

Ever since his Extreme Speed surpassed the speed of sound, the space of the original Training Room had become insufficient.

So, they purchased a stadium and reconstructed it into a training facility for regular team training.

After reaching the Conception Level in his Sword Skill Realm, the pace of his cultivation had become increasingly slow.

Sometimes, after a long period of cultivation, he would not see any prompt for an increase in his Training Level.

It was indeed the case that the higher the realm of swordsmanship, the slower the improvement; this was normal.

After a few attempts, Lu Heng discovered that using the Windwalker Skill in combination with practicing swordsmanship effectively increased the pace of improvement in his Sword Skill Realm.

Therefore, Lu Heng's current method of practicing swordsmanship was to gather Strength, strike with the sword, then gather Strength again, and strike.

Like a streak of Gale, he flickered across the square, alternating between stillness and movement as he searched for the essential secret to breaking through the bottleneck of his swordsmanship.

While Lu Heng was practicing, unbeknownst to him, a spectator had arrived in the stands.

This spectator was cloaked, wearing a hood, with a glint of multicolored pupil light shining from beneath it.

As May arrived, the weather slowly warmed up.

Lu Heng had already switched to short sleeves, and sometimes, when practicing intensely, he would even take off his shirt because of the profuse sweat.

After practicing for a while, Lu Heng walked back to the side of the field to drink water and rest, looking up at 027, he asked, "Aren't you hot?"

"It's bearable."

"Is there something you need?"

027 took out an envelope and flicked it towards Lu Heng.

Lu Heng caught the envelope, already guessing what it was: "Another invitation?"

The last invitation's target was Hasegawa Tom, who had already been taken care of by Lu Heng.

So this time, it must be a new target.

"Correct, I hope this invitation's target meets your expectations," said 027 with a tone of banter.

"Who is it?"

"The envelope has the name."

Lu Heng opened the envelope, took out the name card inside, and was taken aback once again.

The name card bore the name "Alex Austin", which translated phonetically into "Alex Austin".

Without a doubt, the Creator Organization had set their sights on this Thunder God Austin from the American Continent.

Rationally considering this invitation, it was not at all surprising.

Because Alex Austin was known as the "Thunder God" in his previous life, his strength truly stood at the pinnacle of the American Continent.

From the perspective of the Creator Organization, inviting Alex Austin was completely reasonable.

However, having this invitation handed to Lu Heng made it quite delicate.

Lu Heng lifted the name card and said, "This guy is on the other side of the ocean, I don't take on jobs that far away."

027 spoke calmly, "He won't be far away for long."

Lu Heng frowned and immediately understood the implication.

His words clearly indicated that Alex Austin would be coming to Da Xia.

This was not an interesting piece of information.

What was his purpose for coming?

It was highly unlikely that a top Eastern Superpower User from the American Continent would come to Da Xia for tourism.

Lu Heng placed the invitation back into the envelope, holding it up and said, "I can't invite this guy."

It would already be showing restraint if they didn't come to blows upon meeting, let alone inviting the other party to join the organization.

"You are capable of inviting him," 027 emphasized.

Lu Heng frowned and asked, "With what shall I invite him? You haven't given me an invitation gift."

According to the habits of the Creator Organization, when they decide to invite someone, they always prepare an item or a condition that the person can't refuse.

Just like the Sealing Card that contained the Soul Capturing Monster, that was an item Hasegawa Tom absolutely couldn't refuse.

027 replied, "You have the invitation gift, and you're the only one who has it."
