From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 335: The Ocean Overlord Sets Sail
North of Gardenia Beach, under Baoshan Lighthouse.

There is a parasol on the beach, and two chairs under it.

Lu Heng and Jian Qing sat on chairs, browsing their phones while waiting for the training to end.

In the Abyss Age, a large amount of abyss-related information is released on the Internet every day. If you are interested in this information, you can spend a whole day reading it.

Lu Heng raised his left hand and looked at the time on his watch. Two hours and thirty minutes had passed since the training started.

"We should probably have to wait another half an hour." Jian Qing sat with her legs crossed, looking very graceful.

This deep-sea training was carefully calculated. The shore was 150 kilometers away from the rubber ball dropping point, and the rubber ball dropping point was 100 kilometers away from the starting point of the training.

In other words, even if we didn't look for the rubber ball, this training would still require us to cover a distance of 250 kilometers to return to the shore.

According to the swimming speed of these ten marine-type supernatural warriors, it would take more than three hours to return.

However, the location for placing the rubber ball was not chosen randomly, it was the location of the trench.

In other words, if a rubber ball is thrown into the sea, it will most likely sink to the deep end of the trench.

The depth of the trench in the southern East China Sea is basically between 1000 and 2000 meters, which is impossible for ordinary people to reach, even for extreme sports enthusiasts who are good at deep diving.

For general professional divers, 50 meters is almost the limit for diving. Going deeper would be risking their lives.

The world record for free diving using equipment is 52.1 meters.

Of course, this is for ordinary people.

For marine-type psychics, 50 meters is just the beginning.

Without the ability to dive hundreds of meters deep, it is impossible to solve the deep-sea fog crisis, let alone become the overlord of the ocean.

Therefore, in this training, the rubber ball was thrown directly into the trench.

There are 10 rubber balls dropped, but not everyone can retrieve them. If the rubber balls sink deep into the trench, it is normal that they cannot be retrieved.

Judging whether a task is capable of being completed is also a skill that supernatural warriors need to learn.

In short, this deep-sea training is very difficult.

Depth is only one of the dangerous factors. There are also unknown abyss monsters and mutant creatures that require vigilance.

This is a major test for them before they go out to sea to carry out their mission.

……

There is still some time until the end of training.

Jian Qing chatted casually: "In fact, the underwater world is also very exciting. Have you ever thought about becoming an ocean warrior?"

Lu Heng thought for a moment and replied, "I think I have thought about it. However, land is always the home turf of mankind. Marine warriors are special attack warriors. The result of dominating the ocean is to give up the competition for land power."

Jian Qing nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, among the three fields of sea, land and air, one can only specialize in one. Relatively speaking, land power is indeed more important."

Lu Heng explained: "In fact, as the combat power of the psychics increases, the difference between the land and air domains will become smaller and smaller. After all, the land and the sky are actually both air mediums. As long as you gain the ability to fly, or the ability to replace flying, the difference between the sky and the land will not be that big."

"Indeed, water is a different medium with completely different properties." Jian Qing nodded in agreement, thinking that this idea was correct.

Just as the two were chatting.

A spherical wave suddenly arched up on the sea surface in front, and the spherical wave moved rapidly towards the shore.

When the special forces members on the shore looked over, a spherical wave rushed onto the shallows, and a figure shot out from the wave, jumped three meters high, let out a loud roar towards the sky, and fell onto the beach with splashes of water full of the fishy smell of the sea.

After landing, the man raised the rubber ball in his hand high above his head, looked at the position of Lu Heng and the others, and asked excitedly: "Instructor, which place am I?"

Lu Heng looked at the time and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He pointed at his watch and said to Jian Qing: "Two hours and thirty-seven minutes, much faster than expected."

According to original estimates, it would take at least three hours for anyone to return from this training.

This is the case when you don't need to spend time looking for the rubber ball. If you do need to spend time looking for the rubber ball, returning in three and a half hours is considered fast.

Jian Qing stood up and clapped, saying, "Not bad, two hours and thirty-seven minutes, you are the first one to come back."

Liu Haiyang exhaled heavily and said excitedly: "Am I that fast?"

Jian Qing pointed to the parasol beside her and said, "Let's take a rest first. Wait for the others to come back."

Liu Haiyang drank a bottle of mineral water and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable going ashore. I'll go back to the sea to pick someone up."

As he said this, he ran into the sea again and disappeared in the waves.

For some people who like diving, they feel more comfortable in the water.

Liu Haiyang is most likely in the same situation. He is used to the underwater state, does not need to use his lungs to breathe, and is used to the pressure in the water. So he is not used to going ashore.

About half an hour passed.

The second marine warrior to return was Cao Lixiong.

He has the highest energy level among the ten people. If they were on land, three or four people in the team combined might not be his match.

However, once in the water, he could only get second place despite trying his best.

Two minutes later, the third person returned. She was a girl named Jiang Shaoran.

In the next half hour, the remaining seven people returned one after another.

Jian Qing stood up and announced the results: "First place is Liu Haiyang, second place is Cao Lixiong, and third place is Jiang Shaoran. According to the reward plan at the beginning, the first place will choose the reward first. Two essences, and another reward is to upgrade skills. Liu Haiyang, what do you want?"

Liu Haiyang raised his hand and said, "Report! I have something to say."

"explain."

"I was able to come back so quickly because my teammates helped me find the rubber ball. I hope they can also get the reward."

"The training rules were set at the beginning. Only the order in which the rubber balls are brought back is considered. How you thank each other privately is up to you, but after the reward is given out, it cannot be transferred to others. If you don't want it, you can choose to give up." Jian Qing emphasized the discipline again.

Liu Haiyang briefly talked to his two teammates and said, "I choose the Deep Sea Lord source material."

Lu Heng signaled the special forces logistics personnel to open the briefcase and send him the [Deep Sea Lord] source material.

Then, Jian Qing announced the second place result: "Second place, 3 hours, 5 minutes and 27 seconds, Cao Lixiong is out!"

Cao Lixiong took a step forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Here!"

"There are still two opportunities left: the [Tidecaller] essence and the opportunity to upgrade skills. Which one do you choose?" Jian Qing asked him what reward he wanted.

At this moment.

Jiang Shaoran at the back raised her hand to report: "Instructor, I have something to say."

"Speak!" "I'm a psychic, my only target is the Tidecaller, I'm done." Jiang Shaoran spoke out what was in his mind.

She originally wanted to strive for a higher ranking, but Cao Lixiong's level was too high and his strength was too strong, so there was nothing she could do if she couldn't compete with him.

Cao Lixiong already has the third-level job of [Energy Shield Guard], which means that if he wants to use the [Tidecaller] source material, he needs to give up the original [Energy Shield Guard] job.

Giving up a job rank is not something you can choose easily, because giving up the original job rank will cause your source energy level to drop.

Cao Lixiong's current source energy level is 40. If he chooses to give up the [Energy Shield Guardian] class and instead absorbs the [Tidecaller] source energy, his source energy level will drop to level 30, or even lower.

Lu Heng flipped through Cao Lixiong's file and said, "The source of [Tidecaller] is more suitable for the Spiritual Department, but the rule is that the higher ranking will be given priority in choosing rewards, so Cao Lixiong, you should choose first."

Cao Lixiong stood at attention and asked, "I heard that giving up your original rank will result in a drop in rank. Is that true?"

Lu Heng nodded and replied, "It's true. According to your situation, you will probably drop to level 30. And at level 30, you may not be suitable for this deep sea fog mission."

Cao Lixiong then asked: "Instructor, do you have any suggestions?"

Lu Heng smiled and replied: "The [Energy Shield Guard] class belongs to the defense system, and can also protect comrades. You are in the troop sequence, and you should be aware of the importance of system combat.

"If you ask me for advice, I suggest you upgrade the Ice Crystal Harpoon. The Tidecaller belongs to the spiritual system and has certain auxiliary abilities, which is not very compatible with your specialty."

Cao Lixiong nodded and replied: "Yes, then I will choose to upgrade my skills."

The last remaining [Tidecaller] essence was given to Jiang Shaoran.

Relatively speaking, the competition for the [Tidecaller] source essence in this training was not that fierce.

Because among the ten marine warriors, only two are psychic types, and Jiang Shaoran is one of them.

After the rewards were distributed, Lu Heng coughed and announced the end of the training:

“This training ends here. According to the original plan, you will set out for the Malacca Strait in three days to resolve the fog crisis there.

"Before setting off, Liu Haiyang and Jiang Shaoran need to absorb two portions of the third-level source essence and get used to the abilities of the two types of source essence."

"Yes!" Ten people answered in unison.

……

three days later.

All members of the Qianlong Special Forces have gathered, including 60 members of the combat team and 30 members of the logistics team.

This time, the Malacca Channel fog crisis requires the full deployment of the special forces.

Although the main issue to be resolved is the foggy rift in the deep sea, support from other combatants on the surface ships is needed, so this mission is not the task of 10 marine warriors, but the task of the entire team.

However, the entire logistics team does not need to be dispatched. 20 people will remain at the Longwei base, and another 10 people will follow the combat team to the Malacca Strait.

Before departure.

Li Guining came in person to motivate all the fighters and said something that made all the special forces team members excited.

Then, Lu Heng unfolded the map and drew a circle on it: "After reconnaissance, the crack on the seabed is roughly at this location, and our naval ships have already docked at the Lion City Port.

“After departure, you will take a plane, land in Lion City, meet up with the naval vessels, and then set off to conduct reconnaissance in the target sea area.

"The specific combat plan will be commanded by Captain Jian, and the underwater team will be commanded by Captain Cao Lixiong and Deputy Captain Liu Haiyang.

"Chief Li and I are waiting for your news at the headquarters. Once you understand, let's set off."

Lu Heng said that after reconnaissance, he circled the approximate location of the seabed rift, but in fact, this was just additional information in his memory.

This information does not need much explanation. Psychics have so many means of reconnaissance, as long as the information provided is correct, it will be fine.

"Yes!"

The entire special forces team stood at attention, ran off, boarded the car, headed for the airport, and flew to Lion City.

……

This mission is very difficult because the White Eagle Federation’s base in that sea area has been engulfed by fog, and there is no way to resolve the fog crisis.

Not only the White Eagle Federation, Lion City also paid money to hire the world's top mercenary organizations to take action. Whether it was the Knights of the Round Table of the Lionheart Empire or the Onimusha of Fuso, they all suffered defeat in that sea area.

Together with the White Eagle Federation's Agent Mercenary Organization, all of the top five mercenary organizations on Blue Star, except for Long Wei of Da Xia, took action, but still could not dispel the fog on the waterway.

These top five mercenary organizations in the world are not stupid either. They have all recruited marine psychics to dive into the seabed to explore, but they suffered heavy casualties and were unable to find the foggy rift on the seabed.

One of the reasons for this is that the current system of marine-based supernatural warriors is incomplete.

The current marine-type supernatural warriors are not very powerful, which also leads to their low source energy level.

Just think about it for a moment.

Would a psychic with resources, talent, and strength actively choose the ocean enhancement route?

To take the ocean enhancement route, you must first use up two skill slots to learn underwater breathing skills and underwater action skills.

For a psychic whose average initial number of skill slots is only 2.15, directly using two skill slots on skills that do not enhance combat power is no different from committing suicide in this dangerous era of the abyss.
Therefore, at this stage, marine psychics are basically forced to take this route, and their combat effectiveness on land is very low, and psychic organizations do not want to train them.

Under this vicious cycle, marine-type psychics are generally very weak at this stage.

The White Eagle Federation and other countries recruited marine psychics, but only let them dive into the sea to explore, and did not train them as important combat forces.

As a result, these psychics who dived into the seabed encountered marine abyss monsters and had no chance to escape.

……

This time when Daxia took action, things were different.

Lu Heng specially selected ten marine warriors and helped them upgrade their skills. The Southern War Zone also provided them with more resources.

Apart from anything else, just based on their underwater swimming speed, these ten people crush the marine-type mutants from other countries.

At this stage, the first-tier marine-type psychics can only move at a speed in the water as fast as a dolphin, which is 10 meters per second.

The ten marine warriors of the Qianlong Special Forces have upgraded their skills and can start at the shark speed of 20 meters per second.

Some of them with better talents are even faster.

Add to that marine shield guards like Cao Lixiong, and the strength of the system formed is simply incomparable to the weaklings of other countries.

Not only that, Lu Heng also circled the approximate location of this mission, so there was no need to look for a needle in a haystack.

With the abilities of Liu Haiyang and ten other marine warriors, they can find the foggy rift on the seabed in five or six days at most.

Lu Heng believed that with Jian Qing and Chen Zihang leading the team, plus the strongest underwater force at this stage, it would be enough to complete this mission.
