From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 40: Micro-level Body Technique (Request for Follow-up Reading)

To obtain this hidden profession, one must master the movement technique to an in-depth level.

Training alone is far less effective than training together.

Lu Heng brought Su Muyu back to the training room and came up with a training method, "Release the Reconnaissance Hawk, and let's train together. I'll work on my movement techniques, and you practice controlling the hawk."

"Okay," Su Muyu nodded, releasing the Reconnaissance Hawk to hover and fly around the training room.

Lu Heng then activated Gale Step, using his body technique with bare hands attempting to catch the Reconnaissance Hawk.

Su Muyu controlled the Reconnaissance Hawk from a first-person perspective, making it fly up and down, dodging at its limits.

Lu Heng ran up and down the walls, pushing his Master Level body technique to its limit as he tried to capture the Reconnaissance Hawk.

As days passed in this paired training, the results were excellent. Lu Heng's proficiency in his movement technique quickly increased, and his physical strength improved as well.

[Gained insights in practicing movement technique, movement technique proficiency +1]

[During training, physical constitution improved, strength +0.01, agility +0.01]

Su Muyu also made rapid progress.

[Practicing 'Advanced Reconnaissance Hawk' skill, skill proficiency +1]

[During training, physical constitution improved, spirit +0.01, perception +0.01]

After persisting for most of a week, Lu Heng's movement technique was nearing full Master Level proficiency, but each attempt to catch the hawk was just a bit short.

The Reconnaissance Hawk always managed to dangerously dodge Lu Heng's hands and then dash to create distance.

After all, the hawk could fly while Lu Heng could only chase on foot, which was quite challenging.

Su Muyu's improvement rate was also fast, visibly gaining stronger control over the hawk.

After a week of focused training, Lu Heng finally maximized his proficiency in Master Level movement technique.

[Gained insights in practicing movement technique, movement technique proficiency +1]

[Master Level movement technique perfected, stepping into the third level of Body Technique Realm—In-depth Level.]

The moment his body technique realm improved, Lu Heng felt as if the whole world slowed down, allowing him to sense every minute change in his surroundings.

This feeling was extraordinary, as if he could anticipate the hawk's dodging maneuvers.

Lu Heng once again sprang off the wall toward the Reconnaissance Hawk, his right hand swinging out like lightning.

The hawk pivoted and once again flashed past his hand. Su Muyu pursed her lips with a sneaky smile, about to control the hawk to extend the distance.

Just at that instant,

under the boost of In-depth Level movement technique, Lu Heng preempted the hawk's evasive path, and his arm shifted a slight angle mid-air, forcefully moving the catching point by 10 centimeters to precisely grasp the hawk's wing.

When he landed, Lu Heng, holding the flapping Reconnaissance Hawk, shook it towards Su Muyu.

With a pout, Su Muyu guessed the reason, "Has your movement technique leveled up?"

Lu Heng nodded, "Yes, In-depth Level body technique allows me to predict the target's trajectory."

Su Muyu giggled, "Then next time, I'll make the hawk invisible and see how you catch it."

Lu Heng blinked, not expecting her to have that trick up her sleeve.

To be honest, if the Reconnaissance Hawk becomes invisible, then the game is unplayable because the hawk's position would be completely unseen.

After this period of training, not only did his body technique reach the in-depth level, but his physical strength also enhanced.

Lu Heng's strength, agility, and constitution all increased by 1 point.

Once the training increased the attribute points to whole numbers, they would show up on the attribute panel.

Lu Heng's current five-dimensional attributes had reached: strength 19, agility 24, constitution 19, spirit 20, perception 19.

Su Muyu took the paired training seriously and also had significant improvements, with both spirit and perception increasing by 1 point.

"Now that the movement technique has upgraded, should we start the hidden mission?" Su Muyu wanted to learn more about the classes.

"Yes, it seems some superpower users have already obtained the Combat Rank, and we need to speed up," Lu Heng nodded, beginning to plan how to acquire the hidden profession.

Su Muyu took the initiative to ask, "When do we leave?"

"We've been training all day, and you must be tired. Go back and rest for now. Gather your strength, and we'll meet at the hotel tomorrow night."

"Okay," Su Muyu nodded in agreement.

...

The next day.

As usual, Su Muyu started her day by training the Reconnaissance Eagle's Skill Proficiency.

Ever since Lu Heng had taught her how to train Skill Proficiency, she had been diligently practicing every day, including the Invisibility Veil, which she had already trained halfway.

While training the Reconnaissance Eagle's skills, Su Muyu also paid close attention to the situation at the Gongteng Group.

While the Reconnaissance Eagle circled around the Gongteng Group building, it suddenly spotted Gong ZhenTeng's sedan leaving the company.

She then followed it and found Gong ZhenTeng, accompanied by two bodyguards, entering the Kaiser Hotel to meet Lei Jinhao.

Today, Lei Jinhao was not accompanied by the Perceiver named Yada, which made Su Muyu bolder. She controlled the Reconnaissance Eagle to get close enough to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Inside the VIP suite of the Kaiser Hotel.

Gong ZhenTeng sternly questioned, "Lei Jinhao, I heard you've been in contact with people from Fenglin Capital. What does that mean?"

Fenglin Capital and the Gongteng Group were competitors, even enemies, to some extent.

Thirty years ago, during the Gong Family's initial capital accumulation, they used intense methods to compete for land tracts.

That era was one of wild growth for capitalism when many tycoons and capitalists got involved in the grey economy during their early accumulation phases.

After completing their initial accumulation, they quickly laundered their money to become large groups that could stand in the light.

The Gongteng Group and Fenglin Capital had been competitors since then, hiring thugs and fighting over territories using all kinds of tactics.

However, both companies had cleaned up their acts and no longer acted so blatantly.

Now, the arrival of the Abyss had brought significant changes to the world order.

The emergence of Superpower Users and Extraordinary Power was bound to lead to a reshuffling of money and power structures.

To curb Lei Jinhao's growing ambition, Gong ZhenTeng had funded another Superpower User team.

Lei Jinhao would not let Gong ZhenTeng control him; he had indeed been in contact with Fenglin Capital, the archenemy of the Gongteng Group.

"Mr. Gong is being overly concerned. I just had dinner once with the big boss of Fenglin Capital, who invited me earnestly; I couldn't be rude," Lei Jinhao responded lightly to the interrogation.

Gong ZhenTeng snorted, "Even if you hook up with Fenglin, you won't earn their trust. You must understand, you started from our company."

Lei Jinhao chuckled, "The chairman has raised other Superpower teams too, hm? Trust is mutual, don't you agree?"

Gong ZhenTeng pondered for a moment before saying, "I can give you the Fighting Artist Essence, just sign the contract we discussed earlier."

Lei Jinhao's expression was indifferent as he straightforwardly said, "I want that Super Crystal Core."

Gong ZhenTeng frowned and after some consideration said, "Do one thing for me. After it's done, I will give you that Super Crystal Core."

The Super Crystal Core they were referring to was naturally the Skill Slot Expansion Crystal Core.

Lei Jinhao smiled slightly and said, "You want me to help you find who killed your son, right?"

"Exactly. As long as you catch the killer, chop off his limbs, and bring him to me, the Super Crystal Core is yours," Gong ZhenTeng decided, using the Super Crystal Core as a bargaining chip to find the murderer.

"I can do that. As soon as I find out who the killer is, I guarantee I'll turn him into a cripple and deliver him to the chairman," Lei Jinhao confidently replied.

After all, in the Coastal region, there were no more than a handful of Superpower Users who could rival him.

"I have a suspect in mind. I sent a Superpower Killer before to capture him, but that killer ended up dead," Gong ZhenTeng brought up the previous attempt.

"If you have a suspect, that simplifies things. I'll capture him and extract the truth," Lei Jinhao nodded in agreement.

Gong ZhenTeng took a briefcase from a bodyguard, opened it, and pushed it towards Lei Jinhao, "This is the Fighting Artist Essence you wanted. Sign the contract, and it's yours. The Super Crystal Core will be yours once you catch the real culprit."

He then took a photo from the inner pocket of his suit and slid it across to Lei Jinhao.

Lei Jinhao looked at the photo, and his face showed a moment of surprise, "It's him."
