Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 138 - 132: Holy Crap! Secretary Hou

The three people, each with a different posture, turned their heads to look at Lu Lin as he entered.

"You’re the little friend Lu Lin, right? Please, have a seat."

The speaker was a boy who seemed to be only eleven or twelve, speaking with an unusual maturity, and his voice lacked the childish innocence typical of his age.

Lu Lin glanced at the other two before nodding and sitting on the cushions.

"We three brothers are the leaders of the Three Talents Wilderness Team."

"I am Gao Shan, this is Gao Feng, and this is Gao Ling."

Lu Lin identified the child as Gao Shan, the white-bearded elder as Gao Feng, and the one covered in scars as Gao Ling.

The three, despite their apparent age differences, turned out to be brothers.

"The three of us are members of the War God Alliance, and we are your certifiers this time."

"Please guide us in star skills. If successful, you can pass the second verification and be promoted directly to a Third-Level Alliance Member. If you fail, it’s no big deal, but the treatment will only..."

"Alright, Mister Gao, don’t worry."

Lu Lin smiled confidently, "Please tell me about your innate attributes and Star Power levels."

"Alright, I am Gao Shan, a Level 6 Star-Core Fighter, with a Life Talent."

"Gao Feng, a Level 6 Star-Core Fighter, with a Calculation Talent."

"Gao Ling, a Level 6 Star-Core Fighter, with a Scar Talent."

Hmm?

Lu Lin was taken aback by their words.

Life, Calculation, Scar?

He could somewhat guess the role of the first two talents, but what did the Scar Talent mean?

Gao Shan noticed Lu Lin’s confusion and explained further.

The Life Talent grants abundant life force, playing a significant role in healing, recovery, growth, and cultivation.

His main task in the Three Talents Wilderness Team is to expedite the growth of some special Star Power Plants on the Exotic Battlefield.

Gao Feng’s Calculation Talent is easier to understand; using his innate ability, he can predict fortune and misfortune.

In the team, he guides members to avoid disaster and seek valuables.

Gao Ling’s Scar Talent is the most unique.

This talent is combat-related; the more injuries he sustains, the stronger his combat power becomes.

Moreover, each scar has a unique effect, sealing star skills.

During combat, he can seal the enemy’s offensive star skill with a wound and release it unexpectedly.

Its effect is somewhat similar to Lu Lin’s Eye Star Power Domain, but it’s a one-time deal, gone once used.

Lu Lin was stunned looking at Gao Ling’s scarred body—just how many one-time star skills had been sealed?

If he unexpectedly released them in a battle, it wouldn’t be an ambush; it would be pure firepower coverage.

After understanding their attributes and talents, Lu Lin was uncertain.

These talents were ones he had never heard of.

A guaranteed bottom line, what guaranteed bottom line?

There’s simply no way to guarantee a bottom line here.

However, Lu Lin knew he had to face it head-on.

He first guided Gao Shan.

Entering the Star Power Domain, Gao Shan, as instructed by Lu Lin, began to demonstrate his existing star skills.

Cultivation.

Regeneration.

Abundance.

Recovery.

Health.

These were all five of Gao Shan’s star skills.

After observing, Lu Lin couldn’t help but feel impressed by Gao Shan’s good fortune.

The Life Talent is definitely special, and he happened to comprehend five very suitable star skills, proving once again the War God Alliance is filled with talents.

However, Lu Lin thought about what type of star skill he should guide him in.

The existing skills, though quite good and suitable, lacked something in terms of offense and defense.

Lu Lin decided to approach it from this angle.

Vitality, life...

What appropriate star skill could there be?

Surely not an attack infused with life star power—would that be an attack or a treatment?

Ah?

Indeed.

Lu Lin suddenly had an idea.

Gao Shan is life-attributed, so he’s certainly well-versed in life force. If he can give life energy to others, naturally, he should be able to take it away.

Hiss... Lu Lin took a deep breath. If a star skill could deprive vitality, Gao Shan would be terrifying.

A skill like this is impossible to defend against unless you are also a Life Talent Star-Core Warrior.

Otherwise, there’d be no way to resist.

With that thought, Lu Lin began to adjust what Gao Shan saw in the Star Power Domain.

A hundred-meter-tall Great Tree, impossible for ten people to encircle, suddenly withered and decayed.

A roaring lion showcasing its prey, its mane fell out, and its form became frail.

A clear lake emitted a pungent odor, with fish turning belly-up on the surface.

A black-haired child, joyfully jumping and running, suddenly became emaciated, walking with a tremor.

A seductive woman waving to Gao Shan had a face full of wrinkles and a bent posture.

...

Scene after scene appeared before Gao Shan.

Gao Shan soon understood the meaning behind the domain’s changes.

Gaining insight, upon exiting the Star Power Domain, Gao Shan had a hint of a smile.

He comprehended a brand-new offensive star skill.

Opening his eyes to look at Lu Lin, Gao Shan was about to speak when he suddenly felt the surge of Star Power within him, and his body radiated blinding golden light.

This is...

The sign of advancing to the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm.

A Star Body Expert, transforming the Five Evils, refining the Five Viscera, has already begun to transition beyond human capabilities.

Step by step, they temper their bodies and senses to withstand vacuum, suffocation, poisons, and other hazards.

Reaching the pinnacle within human boundaries, attempting a breakthrough is extremely difficult.

The three Gao brothers had lingered at the Sixth Level for years, never expecting that, just by taking on certifying responsibilities at the branch, they’d encounter such an opportunity.

Gao Shan advanced directly.

"Big brother."

"Congratulations, big brother, on reaching the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm."

Gao Feng and Gao Ling offered their congratulatory words.

Lu Lin opened his eyes to find this scene, not expecting to help someone advance again.

From Secretary Hou of Tongyuan City to Monroe at the Maolin Training Base, to Zhao Lei at the Lishui Bay backyard basketball court.

Now, within less than a day of arriving in Chongnuo City, he triggered another advancement during a star skill guidance.

Eh... wait a minute.

He seemed to remember something significant just now—Secretary Hou?

Whoa, Secretary Hou!

Lu Lin suddenly recalled that after advancing Monroe and four Black-Backed Wolfhounds to Level 2, he mentioned Secretary Hou to Bai Jingwei. Bai Jingwei also mentioned once that Secretary Hou was under investigation.

Lu Lin smacked his forehead.

No wonder he felt like something was left unaccomplished during his time on Saturn; he had forgotten about Secretary Hou.

Right now, poor Secretary Hou might still be detained somewhere.

When guiding star skills, there’s a chance Lu Lin can help people level up.

This goal isn’t solely for exotic beasts; it can apply to humans as well.

But...wait.

While he was guiding star skills, the level-up somehow happened again.

In shock, Lu Lin asked himself: "What amazing thing did I think of just now?"

He couldn’t put his finger on it.

Lost in thought, Lu Lin realized he had forgotten about Secretary Hou.

During his guidance of the black-backed wolfhounds to Level 2, he had casually mentioned Secretary Hou to Governor Bai Jingwei; however, Governor Bai only briefly mentioned Secretary Hou later.

What about Secretary Hou?

Meanwhile, Governor Bai Jingwei was in a meeting with Green City’s City Guard, Liu Zhicheng, and others, discussing the city’s development plan for the next five years.

"Governor Bai, I’ve got something important to tell you," he said over the phone.

"What about Secretary Hou?"

"He’s become a level three Star-Core Fighter now."

The expression on Governor Bai’s face changed dramatically.
