Shen Heng's words startled Le Gu Nan slightly.
Immediately, the corners of her mouth curved slightly, and she smiled:
"Okay, I understand!"
The plane roared into the clouds.
Shen Heng stood on the runway, watching silently until the plane disappeared into the clouds before he turned his gaze away.
He turned around and walked towards his car.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Heng returned to the Linhai Supervision Bureau.
Wei Leyang was sitting in the lobby of the Supervision Bureau.
There were also two staff members in black uniforms nearby.
Wei Leyang's eyes lit up when he saw Shen Heng, and he immediately waved to him, then said to the two staff members beside him:
"Our director is back. Give the things to him!"
Shen Heng glanced at the long silver box next to the two staff members, then walked over.
"Are you Comrade Shen Heng?" the staff member asked.
"Hmm." Shen Heng nodded slightly.
"Could you please hand me your identification?" the staff member said.
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng handed over his identification documents.
A moment later, the staff member who had verified the identity returned the documents and then saluted:
"The items have been delivered. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving now!"
"Yes, thank you both!" Shen Heng nodded slightly.
After the two left, Wei Leyang curiously approached.
" Shen Heng, what is this?"
"A newly customized longsword," Shen Heng said.
His hand gripped the edge of the silver box and lifted it slightly upwards.
The silver box, which looked small but weighed two or three tons, tilted slightly in his hands.
Shen Heng glanced at the block device that had locked the box, then took out the documents he had just retrieved again.
With a 'beep', the silver box opened.
A chilling metallic scent instantly washed over me.
The first thing that caught their eyes was a long knife that was perfectly embedded in the custom-made lining.
The scabbard, visible to the naked eye, is entirely black, with a dark red anti-slip leather band wrapped around its surface, and a silver trim around the scabbard opening.
The handle is the same as the scabbard, the only difference being that a diamond-shaped crystal is inlaid at the end of the handle.
Shen Heng glanced at the fifteen Origin Crystal placed beside the longsword, then picked up the longsword.
"Clang--"
The blade slowly emerged from its sheath, gleaming with a chilling light.
This was a horizontal sword of the same style as the one Shen Heng had used before, and apart from the faint, fine lines visible on the spine of the blade, it was entirely black.
The blade is long and sleek, with a faint, cold blue sheen at the edge.
Shen Heng moved slightly, brandishing his long sword in the empty hall.
As he moved, a whooshing sound filled the hall.
He didn't exert any force; the sound of the wind was entirely caused by the weight of the blade itself.
Two tons of Origin Power Alloy, plus the sharp horns of Fourth Tier Sharp-Horned Rat.
Even taking into account wear and tear, the blade itself weighs around 3 tons.
After a moment, Shen Heng stopped what he was doing.
He let out a soft breath, picked up his long sword, and walked back to the silver box.
With his current strength, wielding this knife is still somewhat strenuous; it's fine for a short time, but not for an extended period.
"This knife... it's so cool! It's so much better than the last one!" Wei Leyang said from the side.
"The materials and weights are completely different, so it's normal for there to be differences," Shen Heng said.
"That's true!" Wei Leyang nodded, then his gaze fell on the fifteen Origin Crystal beside the silver box. "What's this?"
"It's for advancing to the Fourth Tier. Breaking through to the Fourth Tier requires a lot of Origin Power support. The Origin Power in the air alone cannot meet the needs of the breakthrough," Shen Heng explained.
"Oh, I see!" Wei Leyang nodded in realization.
A moment later, he seemed to realize something and suddenly looked at Shen Heng.
"Are you about to break through to Fourth Tier?"
Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang, and then nodded slightly in the face of the other's wide eyes.
That evening.
Shen Heng sat cross-legged in the training room, silently gazing at the 15 Tier 3 Origin Crystal placed in front of him.
Awakening or evolving abilities requires the Origin Power within the Origin Crystal to stimulate the brain.
Therefore, the requirements for the stability, continuity, and uniformity of the Origin Power are very high, and only Origin Crystal of a higher First Tier can be used.
But cultivation and breakthroughs are different; at this stage, the Origin Power absorbed directly affects the body.
Compared to the brain, the body is obviously coarser, so the requirements for Origin Crystal are naturally not high; as long as the total amount of Origin Power provided is sufficient, that's enough.
Therefore, when faced with different needs, the headquarters will provide different Origin Crystal.
That's how it is this time.
Of course, there is also the reason that there are still relatively few Fourth Tier Origin Crystal.
Looking at the 15 Origin Crystal in front of him, Shen Heng once again realized the saying that "the poor study literature and the rich study martial arts."
At current market prices, a Tier 3 Origin Crystal costs around 1000.
There are 15 here, which means it will cost around 150 million.
For ordinary martial artists in the future, it would probably take them many years to save up this amount.
Perhaps by then, the vast majority of martial artists will be stuck at the Third Tier tier.
If I were just an ordinary martial artist, I probably wouldn't have the money to break through to the Fourth Tier in a short time.
Of course, at this stage, having money is one thing, but being able to buy Origin Crystal is another.
Shen Heng let out a soft breath, stopped thinking about it, and began to consider what kind of Configuration he should create.
As previously thought, he seems to fit all of the known common Configuration, but none of them seem to fit perfectly.
The vortex provides stability and balance, the furnace delivers powerful bursts, and the tree-like control offers precise adjustments... each has its advantages and disadvantages.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Heng felt that the vortex shape was the most suitable for him.
It has no strong points, nor any weak points.
Sometimes, having neither strengths nor weaknesses means mediocrity.
Especially in terms of offense.
However, for him, offensive capabilities can be compensated for through techniques like Vibrating Blade and Flow Overclocking.
Therefore, strictly speaking, the furnace-like Configuration was not too important to him.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng felt a little more at ease.
Just as he was about to Configuration it according to the vortex pattern, his train of thought suddenly faltered again.
He thought about his journey so far; he had only managed to achieve the Flow skill at a lower level through his abilities, and he had only managed to achieve the Vibrating Blade through his abilities as well.
Will this ability be able to come into play again?
Shen Heng wasn't entirely sure.
He didn't even know if he could successfully construct a Configuration under the interference of sound waves.
Even if the Configuration is finalized, what kind of shape will it take?
But that doesn't stop him from giving it a try.
If all else fails, we can always switch to a vortex type later.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng lifted the Origin Crystal and placed it in front of him.
Then, he closed his eyes slightly.
Guided by his mental power, a massive amount of Origin Power surged into Shen Heng's body.
The Origin Power surged and surged...
