Proficiency Panel Right At The Beginning - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Urgency

Lu Ren :”…”

Xiang Yang :”…”

“Bastard, you did this on purpose!”

After Lu Ren had spat out the words angrily, he took advantage of the fact that the Armored Eagle Woman was still struggling crazily to pull out the longsword which had been stabbed deep into its throat.

He pounced over. Just as he had picked up the dagger and was about to turn around, a strong wind suddenly came from behind him. Lu Ren did not dare to turn around and immediately rolled sideways again.

(Ding… You have dodged the Armored Eagle Woman’s pounce at the critical moment. Your Agility Proficiency Level +30]

Damn, if he had really been pounced on, with his physical resistance, he would definitely not be able to withstand the other party’s passionate ‘hug’.

He did not stop moving. He stood up and twisted his trunk. He pressed the button on the handle of the dagger at his thumb and successfully activated the dagger in his hand.

Buzz!

With a soft electromagnetic sound, the blade emitted a faint blue light. It was rather strange.

Facing the sharp claws of the Armored Eagle Woman, Lu Ren did not hesitate to go forward with the dagger in his hand.

Chi!

With a soft sound, the Armored Eagle Woman’s claws, which were covered in hard carapace, were easily cut off. Her five severed fingers scattered in all directions.

It was as light as cutting tofu.

If it had not been for the contaminated energy, with this technology, which was far more advanced than that of the real world, there was a possibility that it could deal with the spatial passageway of the mystic realm.

That was why the spatial passageway had been opened.

However, it seemed that they had not expected the contaminated energy to permeate the entire world and cause 90% of the creatures on the planet to mutate.

If it had been 30 to 40 years earlier, Lu Ren might have been able to see the scene of the entire city filled with monsters.

A real monster paradise.

In order to evolve again, after discovering that humans were gradually becoming scarce and on the verge of extinction, they started to kill each other. With the survival of the fittest, the contaminated creatures quickly became scarce, and the rarer they were, the stronger they became.

As his thoughts raced, Lu Ren raised his dagger and slashed hard at the neck of the Armored Eagle Woman.

The dagger flashed past, and a head flew high into the air. Then, it fell to the ground and rolled a few times.

The tall body of the Armored Eagle Woman twisted slightly and took a few steps back. She collapsed to the ground with a bang and did not move again.

Lu Ren lowered his arm and sat on the ground, panting heavily.

[Ding… You have killed the Armored Eagle Woman. You have vaguely comprehended the dagger.)

(Ding… You have killed the Armored Eagle Woman. Your Agility Proficiency Level has increased…]

Xiang Yang held her chest and walked to Lu Ren’s side. She said in shock, “Uncle, your fierce moves just now were really fast and powerful. I didn’t expect the two swords to have so many tricks up their sleeves. Is this the Kung Fu you were talking about?!”

After sorting out the System notifications in his mind, Lu Ren glanced at Xiang Yang. Perhaps to outsiders, when he was fighting with the Armored Eagle Woman, he did not hesitate at all and was decisive. His movements were neat; he defended and counterattacked. He did not slow down at all.

However, the dangers involved were definitely not known to outsiders. If he had been careless, he would be torn into pieces by the sharp claws of the Armored Eagle Woman.

It had to be said that the skill of the Basic Sword Technique had brought great benefits to Lu Ren, allowing him to survive in this mystic realm of ruins.

When he got back, he had to think of a way to learn Yan Zhenghua’s sword technique.

He handed the dagger to Xiang Yang, who was stunned. “Don’t you want it?”

Lu Ren said, “I prefer a long sword. I can’t play with a dagger. It will only hinder me.”

If he only had basic mastery of his short-range weapon, he would not have given it to Xiang Yang no matter what. Although a notification had popped up just now, a person’s energy was limited.

After a short rest, the two of them finally stepped onto the elevator. With the authorization of their identities, when the elevator, which had not worked for decades, started up again, there was a cracking sound of machinery rubbing against each other.

It was extremely ear-piercing in this quiet and deep research center base.

Lu Ren looked at the large and small scratches on the blades of the two swords in his hands. They would probably be completely damaged after one or two more high-intensity battles. After all, they were only the limbs of a contaminated creature.

He could not help but look at Xiang Yang. He opened his mouth and let out a long sigh.

When Xiang Yang heard the sigh, she turned around and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

“Actually, I really don’t want to go down.” Lu Ren sighed.

Xiang Yang said pitifully, “Didn’t we agree that once this matter is settled, I’ll give you my dagger!”

Lu Ren: “I was a little rash in agreeing, so I shuddered.”

Lu Ren muttered as he watched the alloy door open and he walked in first. He turned his head and looked at Xiang Yang, who was still rooted to the ground, and frowned.

“Why are you standing there? Come in quickly.”

Xiang Yang’s face bloomed as she walked into the elevator.

“I knew you had a sharp tongue but a soft heart!”

Lu Ren pursed his lips. He definitely did not enter because the System had determined that he could obtain more proficiency points in high-intensity combat.

In the past two days, as his proficiency increased, his swordsmanship had also increased. It could be said that he was stronger than when he first came in, whether it was his physical fitness or his basic swordsmanship.

With the increase in proficiency, his strength would become stronger.

This was why Lu Ren dared to go in.

How could he advance without a sharp blade in his hand?

With the authorization confirmed, the elevator slowly descended and only stopped on the high-energy particle testing area on the third floor.

Pure Void’s voice suddenly sounded, “Two Commanders, the creatures in the mystic realm passageway seem to have sensed the signs of your biological activity. The stable passageway has begun to fluctuate. The unknown existence on the other side of the passageway has made some moves, and the passageway has begun to expand. If you need to close it, please do so as soon as possible.”

Lu Ren’s heart sank. He said in a low voice, “How soon?”

Pure Void said, “Within seven minutes, the spatial energy fluctuation will reach its peak and expand the spatial passageway. When the time comes, the entire research center base will be absorbed into it, and those huge unknown existences will come over.”

Xiang Yang was a little hesitant and muttered, “No, we can’t let those things come over. If they really come over, we would really be finished.”

He would die here too!

Lu Ren made a prompt decision. “Pure Void, how do we close the mystic realm passageway?”

“Reactivate the acceleration of the high-energy particles for hedging. The preheating mechanism will take two minutes. Therefore, to be precise, you only have five minutes to restart the high-energy particle accelerator. There are two contaminated creatures lingering in the shortest route in this area. From the signs of biological activity, these two are stronger than what the two commanders have encountered.”

Lu Ren frowned. “Is there any good news?”

“The good news is that the high-energy particle acceleration is 91% intact. It can undergo a forced particle acceleration, but the shattering of the accelerator pipeline will subsequently cause a massive explosion in the entire third zone.”

“This is really good news.” Lu Ren was a little helpless. “Do you have anything else to add?”
