From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 58 Mission: Teaching Quenching Skill

The battle grew more intense.

Winged Demon Commander Sagers did not want to be entangled with Iron Arm, so he used a high-rank demon skill and thrust his war spear to push Iron Arm back, then suddenly turned and pounced towards Lu Heng.

The strength from his legs combined with the super acceleration from flapping his wings allowed Sagers to reach Lu Heng in the blink of an eye, his millstone-sized claws already grabbing towards the top of Lu Heng's head.

"Be careful!" Su Muyu, seeing this scene, was so frightened that her heart almost leapt out.

Sagers was a high-rank demon known for his speed, a super high level of 20, bringing with him more than 40 points of agility, making his speed so fast that ordinary people could not react.

Lu Heng was also fast, but compared to a level 20 high-rank demon, there was still a big difference.

However, Lu Heng had anticipated this, guessing that Sagers would strike at him and also had a very quick reaction time, so the moment Sagers pounced in front of him, he used the Essential Skill "Shadow Traversal."

His body escaped into the shadows, exempt from all physical collisions.

Winged Demon Commander Sagers swiped at the air, and just as he wanted to pursue further, the Iron Arm Leader had already charged over and was again engaging in combat with him.

Iron Arm's combat power was quite astounding as well, swinging his warhammer, pounding Sagers repeatedly making him retreat.

After dozens of exchanges, Sagers knew that he could not succeed today.

Seeing that the elite Winged Demons he led were already suffering casualties, he roared angrily, leapt into the air, and led the Winged Demon troops to retreat from the battlefield.

...

This battle was both thrilling and exhilarating; Lu Heng had slain five elite Winged Demons, bringing his level to 12 with 72% progress.

Moreover, during the battle, his strength, agility, and constitution all received slight increases.

"In combat, physical fitness increased, strength +0.1, agility +0.1, constitution +0.1"

On the data panel, the five-dimensional attributes by default do not show the values after the decimal point unless expanded.

When previously leveled up to 12, the agility attribute was additionally increased by 0.6, reaching 29.9.

Now, with the increased attributes from the battle, reaching a whole number, the agility attribute finally broke through to 30 points.

The five-dimensional attributes achieved were: strength 23, agility 30, constitution 23, Spirit 24, Perception 23

In addition to the attribute increase, by slaying the elite Winged Demons, he also obtained a Skill Crystal Core.

"Thunder Spear: Infuses thunder energy into the spear, throwing it to initiate a powerful attack, additionally causing thunder damage. Thunder damage = 2 × Spiritual Attribute. Skill consumption: 30 points of Source Energy. Skill level: C."

...

After driving away the Winged Demon troops, everyone turned back to look for Lei Jinhao and the others, only to find that they had disappeared.

Iron Arm, being the leader of the Bansel Tribe, held no grudge against Lei Jinhao and his group, hence did not send his men to chase them, but instead warmly welcomed Lu Heng and his party to Stone Hammer Castle.

Stone Hammer Castle was located in the valley on the west side of Ankalie Mountain, situated halfway up the mountain and built against it, appearing like a giant meteorite embedded in the mountainside.

The entire fortress was built from giant stones, very magnificent and imposing.

On both sides of the fortress gate, statues of two ancestors from the Bansel Tribe were carved.

The statues of the two ancestors were very large, their strong arms raised high with enormous hammers, guarding the gate of Stone Hammer Castle.

On the way into the fortress, Lin Zeyu approached Lu Heng, curiously asking, "That badge you had just now, was it a Quenching Castle badge?"

He had felt a bit familiar when he saw the badge.

However, it wasn't that he had seen this badge before, but rather he had seen the castle depicted on the badge.

After the recent events, Lu Heng had a rather good impression of this young master from the Coastal elite, casually replying, "It's a Quenching Castle badge."

Lin Zeyu's face immediately revealed a look of surprise as he asked, "You actually got a Quenching Castle Badge, so have you also met the Quenching Master there?"

"Met him, quite well-acquainted," Lu Heng replied casually, as if discussing something mundane.

"I've also met that Quenching Master and had him quench my weapons," Lin Zeyu strengthened his resolve to build good relations with Lu Heng.

The two talked about the "Quenching Master" in Quenching Castle, but it seemed they were not referring to the same person.

Lu Heng realized there must have been some misunderstanding and thought, "Wasn't it me who quenched that revolver of yours?"

However, Lu Heng didn't intend to explain the matter, feeling it unnecessary.

Lin Zeyu continued to inquire, "How can one get a Quenching Castle Badge? Can you tell me?"

The badges from Quenching Castle were basically unique.

Of course, the badge didn't literally possess a unique attribute, but it was so difficult to acquire that a second one rarely appeared.

To earn a Quenching Castle Badge, one needed to make a significant contribution to the castle.

Moreover, the contribution had to be great enough to affect the fate of Quenching Castle.

Lu Heng had helped Quenching Castle escape the Abyss and saved it, which was how he acquired the badge.

Unless Quenching Castle faced another existential crisis and someone helped solve it, it was unlikely for a second badge to surface; otherwise, this badge would remain one of a kind.

Seeing him ask this way, Lu Heng didn't shatter his dreams and replied casually, "Make a significant contribution to Quenching Castle, then there's a chance to obtain the badge."

"I see."

Lin Zeyu nodded thoughtfully, thinking it must be similar to a reputation system; as long as one's reputation was high enough, they could obtain a badge.

Upon entering Stone Hammer Castle, the others were arranged in the guest hall, hosted by the elder of the Bansel Clan.

Lu Heng and Su Muyu were taken to a private guest room, personally received by Iron Arm and his daughter Mia.

"May I ask, where did you get this badge from?" Iron Arm asked very kindly, clearly recognizing the badge.

"From the master of Quenching Castle," Lu Heng placed the Quenching Castle Badge on the table, letting him examine it closely.

"Father, what is Quenching Castle? Is it another branch of our tribe?" Mia curiously asked, having never heard of Quenching Castle before.

"That is from a long time ago, when our tribe was still strong, up until the Abyss Descent..." Iron Arm sighed slightly.

In fact, the history between the Bansel Tribe and Black Iron Dwarf Tribe had spanned centuries, and even the Iron Arm Leader had only heard old tales from the elders, never experiencing it himself.

He sighed, looked up at Lu Heng, and asked, "Since you are from Quenching Castle, then..."

Lu Heng knew what he wanted to ask and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes, I'm a Quenching Master."

To be precise, still an Apprentice Quenching Master, but that wasn't important.

"That's wonderful. Our tribe has only inherited forging skills; we no longer possess quenching skills," the Iron Arm Leader said, his tone somewhat helpless.

The Bansel Tribe had suffered from Abyss invasions, forcing them to relocate many times, always struggling to survive, and many skills were lost.

Taking a deep breath, the Iron Arm Leader solemnly requested, "Respected Quenching Master, may I ask if you are willing to teach the lost Quenching Skills to the Bansel Tribe again?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lu Heng saw a line of quest prompt:

[Teaching Assignment Quest: The Lost Quenching Skills]

[Details: After centuries of migration, the Bansel Tribe has lost their Quenching Skills. Stone Hammer Castle's leader, Iron Arm, has requested that you teach the Quenching Skills to the Bansel Tribe.]

[Reward: Friendship of Stone Hammer Castle]
