Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 147 - 141: Promotion to Third Level, Kongming White Ape

Chapter 147: Chapter 141: Promotion to Third Level, Kongming White Ape

Waves of star power and life energy surged from the broken knife, the comforting sensation almost made Lu Lin moan out loud.

Previously in the War God Alliance, he had seen Gao Shan use life energy.

The other entered the Star Power Domain, and Lu Lin felt it firsthand.

Naturally, he understood the energy from the broken knife was indeed life energy.

But... why?

Why did the broken knife clearly pierce the body of the stealthy enemy, and yet an endless flow of life energy fed back to him?

Just now when he cut White Wolf, there wasn’t this sensation at all.

Could it be that this is a demon sword?

After seeing blood for the first time, it then devours the enemy’s star power and life energy.

Realizing this, Lu Lin found himself in a dilemma.

His left arm had been fully repaired under the surge of life energy.

In theory, he should pull the broken knife from the stealthy enemy’s body now.

But he couldn’t control his feelings.

Because, it felt too good.

The continuous inflow of star power made Lu Lin feel like he was on the verge of a breakthrough.

No, he was already progressing.

Star veins, Star Core, star power, all resonated and harmonized within him.

Lu Lin’s star veins were refined once again, adding a hint of yellow light.

From Zero Level Star Core Warrior to First level, the color of the star veins changes from white to green.

At Level 2, it changes from green to blue.

At Third Level, the star veins turn yellow.

Lu Lin had long known this, but he had never imagined the breakthrough would come so suddenly.

In less than a month, he’d gone from zero to one, from one to two, and now from two to three.

Wasn’t this speed a bit too fast?

Lu Lin hid himself behind the stealthy enemy covered in heavy armor, making it impossible for Mi Yan to attack him, while he calculated in his heart, once this mission was over, he would rush to the War God Alliance to find a Senior Star Guidance Master to help guide him in his star skills.

This time, he definitely wouldn’t forget about it.

Mi Yan was quite some distance from Lu Lin, and along with the yellow sandstorm he created, it hindered his ability to quickly locate Lu Lin.

He even feared that his shot might not hit Lu Lin but instead strike "the adult".

At that point, the adult’s wrath wouldn’t be something he could bear.

The situation had reached a standoff.

White Wolf fell to the ground.

Jin Dun was seriously injured.

Mi Yan was trapped.

The stealthy enemy was dying.

When Lu Lin felt the star power and life energy from the broken knife begin to dwindle, he finally pulled the knife out.

This stealthy enemy was mostly breathing out more than in now.

As for the broken knife, Lu Lin had no time to consider it and would have to put it aside for now.

With a wave, he dismissed the heavy armor and looked at the ground.

Where was any stealthy enemy to be found; clearly, it was a hulking white ape, less than 1.5 meters tall, teetering on the brink of death.

The white ape had lost all its star power and could no longer conceal its body.

On the ape’s belly, there was a three-finger-wide wound, bleeding profusely.

Seeing Lu Lin, a hint of terror appeared on the white ape’s face.

This human was terrifying.

So terrifying.

It was clearly a robust adult white ape, yet in such a short time, Lu Lin had absorbed ninety percent of its life force and star power.

Terrifying, dreadful.

If it had known the human world was like this, the white ape would never have come out of the Exotic Battlefield.

Lu Lin curiously observed the white ape on the ground, using his personal terminal to query information about it.

The Exotic Battlefield was home to a vast array of exotic beasts and alien species. Although the area explored by humans wasn’t small, compared to the entire Exotic Battlefield, it was just a small part.

Lu Lin searched for a long time but couldn’t find any information related to the white ape.

This indicated that the white ape on the ground might have appeared in the human sight for the first time.

It was also possible it had appeared before, but due to various reasons, it hadn’t been recorded or published online.

Lu Lin had seen a young genius with talent for information on Saturn before.

Though this was an extremely special innate attribute, that didn’t rule out the possibility of similar hidden talents among martial artists over the years.

For security, the federation refrained from posting significant meetings or important data online.

Seeing the white ape’s dying look, Lu Lin knew it was definitely not pretending.

After having so much Star Power and Life Energy absorbed by the broken knife, if he still has the strength to resist or escape, then Lu Lin would definitely lose.

Having dealt with the white ape, Lu Lin’s gaze turned to Mi Yan, whose waist was already stuck in the swamp.

This guy struggled for quite a while, only to sink deeper into the swamp. Now, he doesn’t dare to move at all.

Even that specially made double-barrel shotgun in his hand was thrown by him not far ahead.

It seems that he came up with quite a few ways to get out of the swamp.

At this point, Mi Yan poses no threat to Lu Lin.

As Lu Lin approached, a glimmer passed over Mi Yan’s shiny bald head, and he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

"Star Investigation Office, Elite Investigator, Lu Lin."

Lu Lin grinned, revealing eight neat and white teeth, and kicked Mi Yan on the neck, knocking him out.

After tidying up the battlefield, Lu Lin gathered the three severely injured criminals together. Naturally, that also included the unknown white ape.

Checking the time, not even 7 minutes had passed.

Lu Lin wasn’t sure if he should say the three opponents were too weak or his own ability too strong.

However, he wasn’t interested in waiting for the support that would arrive in thirty minutes, so he directly contacted Director Long.

"Hey, Lu Lin, what’s your situation over there?"

Long Qianli, seeing Lu Lin casually leaning against the car, curiously asked.

"Director Long, the situation’s been resolved."

Lu Lin answered, standing up straight.

"But there was a bit of an intelligence issue. Besides the three criminals, there was also an invisible white ape."

Saying this, Lu Lin picked up the barely breathing white ape from beside his foot to show Long Qianli.

"Kongming White Ape?!"

Long Qianli, who was just leaning back in his chair, immediately sat up straight at the sight of the white ape.

"Kongming White Ape? This guy?"

"Yes, this is a relatively special type among exotic beasts. It can become invisible, speak human language, and a mature Kongming White Ape may comprehend space laws, becoming a space controller."

"In a thousand years of entering the Exotic Battlefield, the federation has only encountered a few Kongming White Apes, and they were all mature ones."

"So you’re saying, this thing isn’t cheap?"

Lu Lin was only interested in the money.

No choice, he had spent over thirty thousand taking the Zhou Ziqiang siblings out for a feast just that afternoon.

Glancing at his balance, he was down to just around thirty thousand.

The 950 million bounty still wasn’t known when it would be credited, and Lu Lin was just showing off with what he had—seemingly living in a mansion, feasting daily, drinking hundred-thousand-per-bottle Star Power Elixirs, but his savings were down to just thirty thousand.

He hadn’t forgotten that in this day and age, going to university wasn’t free; annual tuition was at least a hundred thousand.

Even more at Iron Blood College.

When the enrollment day came, if Lu Lin’s abilities showed up and he won the challenge, but he couldn’t attend Iron Blood College due to lack of money, that would be disastrous.

In fact, Lu Lin had already planned that when he went to challenge at Iron Blood College, he would focus specifically on that show-off idiot "sage"—Feng Yuanyu.

"Not cheap? Haha, it’s more than just expensive."

"Lu Lin, if you’re willing to hand over the Kongming White Ape to the Star Investigation Office, the compensation is at least a billion Federation coins, which can also be exchanged for equivalent Star Coins."

"So, do you think this thing is cheap or expensive?"

Long Qianli said with a smile, suddenly shifting his thoughts away from the Kongming White Ape.

"Lu Lin, wait a moment, you mentioned intelligence error, what about those three criminals then?"

"You didn’t let them escape, did you?"

"Of course, there’s no way I’d let them escape."

Lu Lin crouched down so the opposite Long Qianli could see him guardianship over the three unconscious, seriously injured criminals.

"Rest assured, Director Long, as a Star Coordinator Division Elite Investigator, I share an unending enmity with evil."

"These three killed several Middle-and-Lower Company security guards and injured, killed many Investigation Bureau Elites. I would never let them go."

Lu Lin said righteously.

However, these words were automatically filtered out by Long Qianli.

He was shocked at Lu Lin’s strength.

This boy seems to have just awakened less than a month ago, only at the Level 2 Peak, yet handled three criminals and even captured a Kongming White Ape?

Previously, Zhao Lei didn’t describe Lu Lin as having such formidable combat power in his transfer report!

"Alright, just wait on-site for a bit. The personnel I’ve arranged will be there shortly."

"When they arrive, hand over the three people and the ape to them, I’ll handle the rest."

"Lu Lin, congratulations on passing the practical task assessment. I’ll arrange the evaluation and task reward for you soon."

"After the handover, you can go straight home, and come to Hua Qing Water Yard tomorrow morning."

"Roger that, Director Long."

Hearing there were more rewards, Lu Lin immediately stood at attention.

But Long Qianli wasn’t taken in by any of this, directly hanging up the communication.
