From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 62: Completing Source Fusion, Obtaining First Transition Class
Su Muyu, following Lu Heng's arrangement, conducted another reconnaissance centered around Winged Demon Commander Sagers and indeed discovered new developments.
"At a mountain path south of the Blade Stone Forest, there is another demon troop transporting Source Essence Sacrifice, with Sagers escorting two transports at the same time, flying at the midpoint of a line connecting the two demon troops, five kilometers from each."
The two Demon Servant troops came from different directions, one from the north of Blade Stone Forest, the other from the south.
Looking at the map, after bypassing the Blade Stone Forest, the two demon troops would converge at a pass to the northwest of the Stone Forest.
After a while.
The scout sent by the Bansel Tribe returned with intelligence that was almost the same as Su Muyu's report.
"It seems there will be a big battle with Sagers today. Get ready for combat."
Iron Arm planted his warhammer on the ground, clenched his fists, and prepared for battle.
Lu Heng pondered briefly and asked, "What's the scale of that demon troop on the south side of the Blade Stone Forest?"
Su Muyu reported, "Four prison carriages, twenty Demon Servants, two Winged Demon Wizards."
A troop of twenty Demon Servants wasn't small.
Moreover, with Winged Demon Commander Sagers escorting them, it looked very safe from the perspective of the Demon Servants.
Lu Heng came up with a very aggressive attack plan and pulled Su Muyu and Iron Arm aside to discuss it.
After a brief discussion, Iron Arm gave the thumbs up in agreement.
Then, Lu Heng found Lin Zeyu to ask for his opinion, "Hmm, there's something I'd like to discuss with you, and I hope you'll agree."
The tone used to broach the subject clearly hinted at a deeper implication.
Lin Zeyu didn't rush to disagree and asked, "What's your proposal?"
Lu Heng laid out his plan, "It's like this, my Source Quality Fusion has reached 50%, and ahead of us, the demon troop has six prison carriages.
"Each carriage holds a Source Essence Sacrifice, each containing at least 10% Source Material.
"If I take five Source Essence Sacrifices for myself, I can complete my Source Fusion and achieve my Class.
"After receiving my Class, I'll immediately initiate another operation plan, which requires me to have my Class first.
"I've already discussed this with the Iron Arm Leader, and he agrees with my plan, so regarding the Source Essence Sacrifices, I hope you'll consent."
Lin Zeyu's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself: Are you discussing with me? This is clearly just informing me.
In fact, equitable distribution of spoils is better for maintaining unity within an ad hoc team.
But equitable distribution sometimes has its drawbacks.
For example, now, if Lu Heng could get the Source Material from five sacrifices, he could be the first to achieve a First Transition Class and increase his combat power.
This would greatly benefit subsequent actions.
However, if they distributed the spoils equally, it would mean each person could only get the Source Material from one sacrifice.
Lu Heng would need to ambush five demon troops of the same size to complete his Source Fusion.
During this process, there would be no increase in combat capability.
Therefore, in mature Superpower User teams, the distribution of spoils is often asymmetrical.
How to maintain team unity under an asymmetrical distribution is another matter altogether.
Actually.
With the Iron Arm Leader in agreement, opposition from others would be futile.
If worst come to worst, they could just disband.
Lu Heng's willingness to consult with Lin Zeyu was out of trust and also a recognition of his previous commitment to the alliance.
Lin Zeyu had his own Superpower User subordinates and naturally understood these principles. He spread his hands and answered, "Alright. I'll go along with your plan."
The fact was.
Within Lin Zeyu's own small team, the distribution was also asymmetrical.
Wang Xiangfeng and Li Dayong were heavily invested in by the Lin Family when they were in the main world, with every Skill Crystal Core maxed out.
Additionally, their families were also cared for by the Lin Family.
Therefore, in the Abyss Battlefield, everything these two collected went directly to Lin Zeyu for allocation.
…
The discussion was complete.
The warriors of the Bansel Clan had also prepared themselves for battle.
The Iron Arm Leader raised his warhammer and bellowed, "Warriors of the Bansel Clan, raise your weapons and charge with me, crush these servants of the Evil God!"
"Charge!"
The elite soldiers of the Bansel Clan charged with Iron Arm, like a pack of hungry wolves pouncing on an evil flock of sheep.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
They hadn't reached the battlefield yet when they launched a volley of crossbow bolts.
The closest Demon Servants were directly knocked down in a row.
Those Demon Servants that weren't shot to death struggled to hide behind the prison carts.
Two Abyss Two-headed Giant Lizards hit by arrows roared in pain, thrashing their tails wildly and flinging the prison carts into the air.
Almost simultaneously, six Winged Demon Wizards spread their wings and flew up, unleashing waves of Black Witchcraft as a counterattack.
The Iron Arm Leader charged ahead, his legs propelled him five meters into the air where he grabbed the ankle of a Winged Demon Wizard and smashed it towards the ground with force.
Bang!
The Winged Demon Wizard was smashed into mush, a very violent sight.
In the sky.
A scouting eagle swooped down with a person hanging beneath its talons, it was Lu Heng.
As the scouting eagle swooped over a Winged Demon Wizard, Lu Heng let go of the talons and descended, drawing out the Aurora Blade and executing a Zhenyue Style strike, unleashing the combined Skill "Thunderous Strike."
Boom!
The sword light chopped right on top of the Winged Demon Wizard's head, the furious Thunder Energy tore his body apart.
Immediately after, the energy from "Thunderous Strike" exploded, whipping up a circle of thunderstorm and affecting another Winged Demon Wizard and three Demon Servants.
Struck by the Thunder Damage, this Winged Demon Wizard became paralyzed, his spiritual power also weakened by "Spirit Slash," and he fell from the sky.
Lu Heng skillfully spun as he landed, cutting out a returning arc of sword light that sliced this Winged Demon Wizard and the five surrounding Demon Servants.
In the blink of an eye, he achieved a seven-hit combo.
The Demon Energy gained from the fight flooded in like a tide.
After seven continuous data prompts, his Energy Level surged.
"Killing a Winged Demon Wizard, 120 points of Demon Energy absorbed."
"Source Energy Level has risen to Level 13, All Attributes +2, Agility Attribute additionally +0.6."
After leveling up, Lu Heng's Combat Power increased, and with his sword, he entered the battlefield like a tiger among sheep.
Everywhere he went, Winged Demon Wizards, Demon Servants, and Two-headed Giant Lizards became vengeful spirits beneath his sword light.
On the outskirts of the battlefield.
Lin Zeyu shot down a Demon Servant and looked up to find that Lu Heng had entered Unrivaled Mode, his eyes wide in astonishment.
Originally, he was quite fond of firearms and even had the Talent to follow a firearms enhancement route.
Thus, his first enhanced weapon was the Silver Python Revolver.
But now, seeing Lu Heng's figure sweeping through the battlefield, his eyes filled with envy, the revolver in his hand suddenly lost its appeal.
Roar!
Three minutes into the battle, an angry roar came from the clouds in the sky.
The Winged Demon Commander Sagers was still a kilometer away, but his roar traveled the distance, shaking people's hearts.
Sagers was fast, arriving near the battlefield in just three minutes since the start of the battle.
Without further delay, Lu Heng rushed towards the prison carts to kill the Source Essence Sacrifices and seize the Source Material.
"Absorbing Source Material, Source Quality Fusion increased to 65%."
Among them, two prison carts had sacrifices with relatively high Source Material content, so after killing four sacrifices, his Source Quality Fusion reached 100%.
"Source Fusion complete, acquired First Transition Class 'Shadow Walker.'"
"Shadow Walker: A combat profession that traverses between the shadows and the material world, mastering the complete 'Shadow Traversal' ability."
"Shadow Traversal (Divine): Escapes into shadow cracks, immune to all physical collisions, duration 15 seconds. Divine Effect: Movement speed increases by +300% in Shadow Travel State; gains Shadow Vision, allowing sight to penetrate physical barriers after escaping into the shadows."
