From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 182 - 152 Flame Emblem Club
After leaving the Sword Dojo, Lu Heng got into the car heading home and checked the Source Quality Fusion on the data panel.
[Source Quality Fusion: 82%]
The Source Quality Fusion had increased when he used his Rift Sword Radiance to cut down Saito Takeji.
Seeing the increase in Source Quality Fusion, Lu Heng finally understood why Saito Takeji insisted on dueling, one reason must have been for the Source Material.
Because of the battles for Source Material, there naturally existed a hostile relationship between Superpower Users who possessed unbound Source Material.
However, since normal methods were incapable of detecting unbound Source Material, it was impossible to identify Superpower Users with Source Material from a crowd.
Therefore, during the contests for Source Material, one had to rely on guesswork.
Clearly, Saito Takeji knew that Hideyoshi Tsugawa carried Source Material, and since Lu Heng had killed Hideyoshi Tsugawa, that Source Material naturally transferred to Lu Heng.
Unfortunately for Saito Takeji, he lost.
When Lu Heng fought Saito Takeji, it felt much simpler than fighting Hideyoshi Tsugawa.
It wasn’t that Saito Takeji was weaker than Hideyoshi Tsugawa, but rather that Lu Heng’s strength had increased.
When he fought Hideyoshi Tsugawa, their powers were evenly matched, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.
By the time he faced Saito Takeji, Lu Heng’s level had risen to 26, and his physical strength far surpassed Saito Takeji’s, on top of the overwhelming superiority of his weapons.
A combination of multiple factors turned the duel into a crushing defeat.

The death of Fusang Sword Saint Saito Takeji in a duel in Da Xia caused an uproar back in Fusang Country.
For Fusang, whether Saito Takeji actually died on the spot wasn’t the key issue.
Even if he hadn’t died on the spot, he would have been forced to commit seppuku upon his return to Fusang.
Because for the people of Fusang, Saito Takeji had lost face abroad.
This led to an increasing number of Fusang Swordsmen declaring their intention to challenge the swordsmen of Da Xia.
However, most of those Fusang people making loud claims were just weaklings.
Moreover, some weren’t merely boasting, they were actually applying for passports with the intention of traveling to Da Xia to issue challenges.
Because of this, the Da Xia authorities tightened their visa review process, outright denying entry to these lunatics.
...
The matter of duels came to a temporary halt.
The Quenching Castle Club, organized by Lin Zeyu, had finally taken off.
In addition, as the Huan Yu Company’s business grew increasingly larger, it became necessary to restructure the company’s management.
Initially, Huan Yu was simply a security company, hired to employ Superpower Users as bodyguards for Lin Zeyu.
Now, with the addition of Quenching services support, quenching materials, and Spiritual Injection Materials, all these businesses were managed by Huan Yu Company.
Huan Yu was no longer just a simplistic security firm.
With its business expanding into numerous areas, and given that Huan Yu started as a security firm, the structure of the company was impeding further business expansion.
Therefore, it was necessary to restructure the company.
That morning.
Lin Zeyu gathered the executives of Huan Yu Company for a meeting and also called Lu Heng and Su Muyu to the company.
The executives of Huan Yu waited outside as Lin Zeyu wanted to first confirm the direction of the restructuring with Lu Heng and Su Muyu.
The three of them sat together on the sofa, discussing the future direction of Huan Yu’s development.
"I hadn’t anticipated Huan Yu’s rapid development; initially, it was just a security company. Now that’s no longer sufficient as the business has expanded too quickly; we must adjust the company structure..." Lin Zeyu opened a document and said, "Here’s the plan I’ve considered, to separate the various tasks and establish subsidiaries.
"A separate subsidiary will be created specifically for Quenching service support to clarify the business division and increase efficiency.
"Also, the new Quenching Castle Club project will be spun off into its own subsidiary.
"I’ve already thought of a name for the club; it will be called ’Flame Emblem,’ which will become the prestigious pass to enter Quenching Castle in the future.
"Huan Yu Security will remain, exclusively managing security services and the brokerage of Superpower Users.
"Lastly, we’ll establish a group company responsible for the overall coordination and management of all subsidiaries.
"What do you think of the name ’Hengyu’ for the group? I think it sounds especially nice."
Su Muyu nudged her mouth and joked, "So my name isn’t included, huh?"
Lin Zeyu’s eyes widened, "What? Aren’t you two considered as one?"
Su Muyu initially wanted to tease him further, but hearing his response, she suddenly burst into laughter, "Alright then."
The three of them made swift decisions, casually settling the matters of Hengyu Group in just a few words.
The shares of Hengyu Group were divided into three parts: Lu Heng and Lin Zeyu each held 35%, with the remaining 30% belonging to the team, represented by Su Muyu.
The team’s 30% shares were collectively owned by all members who signed the team’s Contract. Currently, there were three team members, and should new members join in the future, they would also share in the rights to this 30% stake.
After the company restructuring was complete, the Flame Emblem Club was officially established.
The release of the name "Flame Emblem," alongside the club’s function, immediately sent shockwaves through major consortia.
Because the "Flame Emblem" brand unambiguously denoted it as the access pass to Quenching Castle.
The club would regularly organize members to enter Quenching Castle.
As for how to join "Flame Emblem," all explanatory rights were reserved by Hengyu Group.
Representatives from the major consortia had staked out under the Century Bridge for two or three months only to elicit such an outcome.
Initially, three months earlier, Hu Biao successfully led people into Quenching Castle, among whom was the most crucial Quenching Master promoted by Chunshang Group’s He Shangyong.
