Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 103 - 99: Golden Body Sutra First Layer: Achieved!
After Lu Lin paid for the use of the Cultivation Room at the Green City International Hotel, he and Da Xiang Wang Juan returned to Lishui Bay.
By the time they got home, it was almost 9 PM, and after greeting his parents, he returned to his bedroom.
His mom, Meng Yu, made a comment:
Tomorrow is the day for the graduation feast, and it turns out Lu Lin doesn’t care about anything, not concerned in the slightest.
Today, all the relatives notified by Lu Lin’s parents arrived in Green City by various means of transportation, and Meng Yu booked several rooms for them in nearby hotels.
Meanwhile, Lu Lin was nowhere to be seen for three days, and when he finally returned to Green City, he didn’t even visit home before going out to have dinner with others.
Meng Yu sat on the sofa, venting her frustration for a while. Seeing Lu Ping ignoring her, she nudged him with her foot and went into the kitchen to prepare noodles for Lu Lin.
Running outside for days, he surely hasn’t been eating or sleeping well.
The noodles at home always taste better.
Lu Lin returned to his bedroom to organize his belongings.
The broken knife, which was unused during this trip, was intact.
As for the Star Power Potion, he had really had a great haul this time, with over thirty vials. If sold, they would fetch at least over three million.
But Lu Lin wouldn’t sell them, as he still needed them for cultivating the Golden Body Formula.
Then there were the photos with Governor Bai Jingwei, with Cen Xian, with Hu Nan, with Liu Huasheng, and other bosses.
He planned to show these to his mom later; she’d surely be overjoyed.
Just then, Meng Yu walked in carrying a bowl of chicken soup noodles.
In the bowl was a large chicken leg, definitely a local specialty Lu Lin had brought back from Linbei last time.
"Son, want a bowl of noodles?"
Lu Lin thought, Mom, you’re already here with the bowl; if I say no, wouldn’t it disappoint you?
"Of course, Mom. I went to a seafood restaurant with them, but didn’t eat much, and it was super expensive."
"You’re the best, Mom, always know I love noodles."
Lu Lin took the big bowl and started slurping away.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly."
Meng Yu looked at Lu Lin with soft eyes, filled with reluctance to part.
After the graduation feast, Lu Lin would indeed head to study on an alien planet.
During this time on Saturn, although he wasn’t home much, knowing her son was nearby kept Meng Yu reassured.
This trip to the alien planet would last at least a year, maybe longer. Meng Yu dared not imagine further.
Not seeing her son for so long again, it didn’t sit well with Meng Yu.
"So delicious, Mom! Your chicken soup noodles are unmatched."
"And the chicken leg is just the flavor I love."
"Mom, you’re awesome! I love you."
Lu Lin’s "I love you" almost made Meng Yu break down, but she held back tears, pinched her nose, and jokingly scolded: "Eating can’t even shut you up. Such a smooth talker—I wonder which girl you’ll fool in the future."
"I’m not fooling you. It’s truly delicious."
Swallowing a mouthful of noodles, Lu Lin pulled up his album to show Meng Yu.
"Mom, look, this is General Hu Nan, the head of the Western Region on Beiqiu Continent, and next to him, of course, is your handsome son."
"And this one, he’s the head of the Maolin Soldier Training Base. This is me with the exotic beast Black-Backed Wolfhound ’Monroe’."
"Mom, Monroe is a Level 2 Exotic Beast, very obedient, and can even understand human speech."
"Ta-da! Look, guess who this is!"
"That’s right, he’s Governor Bai Jingwei of Saturn. He couldn’t stop praising your son, even saying a few times that he wants to groom me as the next governor."
"Pfft!"
Meng Yu couldn’t hold it any longer and gently patted Lu Lin on the head: "You, the next governor?"
"If you can let me meet the City Lord of Green City, I’d be impressed."
"And son, I think you edited these photos, didn’t you? There’s no trace at all—looks so real."
"What editing, never mind, you won’t get it anyway. Just wait until tomorrow and you’ll see."
"Oh, right, Mom."
Lu Lin didn’t argue with Meng Yu and suddenly remembered Bai Jingwei said he’d come to his graduation feast tomorrow.
"Mom, could you call Junsheng Hotel later to see if they have a bigger banquet hall? I invited a few more tables of people over for tomorrow’s graduation feast."
"Sure, I’ll call and ask later."
Meng Yu agreed and took the empty bowl away after seeing Lu Lin had finished eating.
She soon returned to inform him that the hotel had no other banquet halls available.
Lu Lin had no choice but to say he’d try to negotiate with the hotel the next morning.
After all, you couldn’t have someone as important as Governor Bai standing at your graduation feast.
After mentioning to his mom that he’d go cultivate, Lu Lin locked his room door and took out five vials of Star Power Recovery Potion from his backpack. He thought for a moment, worried it wouldn’t be enough, so he opened his backpack and kept it nearby.
He was going to cultivate the Golden Body Formula.
This was definitely a star power guzzler, and Lu Lin wouldn’t feel at ease without making some preparations.
Last time he cultivated the Golden Body Formula, he had nearly reached his body’s limit and only stopped because his star power potions were insufficient.
But now, with the Inner View Star Skill, he could clearly see the refinement state of his star power within.
Although slower, Lu Lin could confirm that he had thoroughly refined his skin and muscles once over.
Feeling the explosive strength within him, Lu Lin clenched his fist tightly.
This time, he successfully cultivated the First Layer of the Golden Body Sutra.
The strength throughout his body reached a terrifying 3,200 jin.
With just two test punches, Lu Lin could feel the fierce power behind them.
If this were to strike a person, heh.
In the future, Lu Lin’s opponents would all be Star Core Warriors or exotic beasts on the Exotic Battlefield; maybe they could survive a punch from him.
After reveling in happiness for a while, Lu Lin tidied up his room.
He recalled that when artists cultivated the Golden Body Formula, they didn’t seem to use any star power potions, relying only on diet to succeed.
Lu Lin wondered if his body was too weak, requiring more star power for reinforcement.
Or perhaps it was too strong, needing to absorb more star power.
This time, cultivating to the First Layer of the Golden Body Sutra, he drank a total of six star power potions.
With under 30 vials left, he didn’t know how long they’d last.
Never mind. Once he reached the alien planet, he could collect the 95 million Federal Coins bounty for killing the artist; by then, who’d care about tens or hundreds of thousands?
Once the bounty was received, he’d drink the Primary Star Force Potion openly and freely.
Early the next day, concerned about the hotel arrangements, Lu Lin finished breakfast and set out.
When he arrived at Junsheng Hotel, the manager said there were no large private rooms left, but if Lu Lin had a lot of people, they could hold the graduation feast in the hotel hall.
Lu Lin thought about it, and the hall seemed fine, as long as Governor Bai didn’t have to stand.
He booked five more tables, anticipating some might remain empty.
If it looked awkward, who else could he invite?
After paying the deposit, Lu Lin thought of inviting President Guan and decided to call Wan Fugang from the Green City Star Guide Division; maybe he could invite a few Star Guides over.
Also, Guan Yue’s dad, Guan Pingchao.
They had fought side by side, after all, so inviting them for a meal would also allow Guan Pingchao to get acquainted with Lu Lin’s parents.
After Lu Lin went to study on the alien planet, he might need to rely on Guan Yue and Guan Pingchao.
Thinking of calling, Lu Lin felt it wasn’t sincere enough, and since he wasn’t far from the Wild Kill Martial Arts Hall, he decided to walk over and invite them in person.
