Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 174 - 161: Master of Both Calligraphy and Painting, Wang Jianfang
Lu Lin looked at everything in front of him, not knowing what to do next.
It was supposed to be an ordinary Star Skill, but it turned into this.
Hang Jianshe’s face was pale.
Cong Xiaolong was unsteady.
Yao Zongheng and six students directly fainted.
A perfectly good challenge turned out like this, something nobody expected.
"Old Wu, end the match and bring Lu Lin to my office later."
A voice reached Wu Hongming’s ear.
It wasn’t some secret transmission, but rather Principal Wang Jianfang of Iron Blood College sending him a voice message through his personal terminal.
Wu Hongming nodded slightly, turned, and walked to Lu Lin’s side.
"Congratulations, Student Lu, on winning the challenge."
"You can now be called the scholar tyrant of this year’s Iron Blood College."
"Stay here for a while, the principal wants to see you."
"Principal?"
Lu Lin directly looked at Wang Chunyu, who was hosting on the arena just now.
He heard earlier that someone called him Principal Wang.
"Ahem, not him, I’ll take you over later."
Wu Hongming quickly got Lu Lin off the arena, ordered those like Hang Jianshe and Cong Xiaolong, who were unstable, along with other fainted students to be sent to the infirmary, and then...
He called Wang Chunyu up to continue hosting the upcoming matches.
Wang Chunyu:...
Hell, leaving me with a mess.
Now all the students selected by Iron Blood College have been defeated by Lu Lin, and there are still nine from Luse Alliance College who haven’t been challenged.
How the heck is he supposed to host this?
Ignoring Wang Chunyu, Wu Hongming took Lu Lin to Wang Jianfang’s principal’s office.
...
"Students, did you see?"
"Lu Lin, a graduate from our school, challenged fifty students in the Challenge Match, accomplishing an unprecedented feat."
"He’s the pride of Golden Sword High School, he’s the emblem of our school."
"Therefore, I decide to build a statue of Lu Lin within the campus."
"With Lu Lin accompanying us, I hope everyone’s awakening success rate will greatly increase."
The principal of Golden Sword High School roared loudly on stage.
It was the first time he saw someone defeat fifty opponents from Iron Blood College in a challenge match.
The key is, he’s familiar with Lu Lin.
Their relationship got started in Dragon Battle Hotel when the principal of Golden Sword High School promised a reward for Lu Lin.
Later, Teacher Li mentioned that Lu Lin’s initial refinement degree wasn’t high, but he stuck to his promise.
He completely fulfilled the agreed-upon reward.
And now, the school’s logistics department still has two vacant positions waiting for Lu Lin’s parents to come work.
Oh, right.
Now that Lu Lin is already a supreme genius, it’s a bit inappropriate to have his parents work in the logistics department, then...
Let’s appoint them as Vice Principal and Chief Financial Officer.
As for whether Lu Lin’s parents can handle these roles, who cares.
...
"Old Lu, old Lu, our son really won, he really won!"
Meng Yu excitedly hugged Lu Ping, jumping for joy.
In the Star Core Era, even a woman’s strength is not insignificant.
Meng Yu was so excited that she really lifted Lu Ping while jumping.
"Ahem, I know, I know, could you let me down first?"
"No way, that brat, deceiving me for so long, claiming he’s a genius, can he be a genius and still go to Luse Alliance College? When he comes back, let’s see how I’ll deal with him."
Meng Yu said, but a smile couldn’t be hidden on her face.
After saying this, she tossed Lu Ping down and turned to look for someone nearby.
"Hey, Sister Wang, Sister Zhang, Sister Li, let me tell you..."
...
"Mr. Lu is impressive."
"Mr. Lu is awesome!"
At Maolin Training Base, many sergeants who experienced Lu Lin’s Guiding Star Skills shouted loudly.
Even though they were currently being chased by several Level 2 wolfhounds like Monroe.
Since it was known that Lu Lin would be in today’s challenge match, Hu Nan allowed the training soldiers to watch the match, but... the training couldn’t stop.
Watching Lu Lin’s match, not just the sergeants but even the four black-backed wolfhounds like Monroe couldn’t maintain focus, frequently looking up at the enlarged match video on the dormitory building.
Hu Nan saw this and didn’t care.
Smiling happily.
Lu Lin, after all, is a genius hailing from Saturn.
Previously, Cen Xian even gave him an honorary soldier medal.
Considering this, Lu Lin can be counted as one of his soldiers!
"You little rascals, why are you all lying on the ground like dead fish!"
"Get moving, quickly!"
"Machine gun shooting, Monroe, bite him!"
...
Watching Wu Hongming leading Lu Lin away, Guan Yue lost interest in watching further.
Turning around, she left the scene.
She didn’t speak with Zheng Yulong.
For some reason.
She felt Zheng Yulong’s gaze towards Lu Lin seemed a bit off, somewhat... malicious.
Zheng Yulong saw Guan Yue leaving, said nothing, continuing to watch Wang Chunyu awkwardly chatting on the arena with interest.
Thinking inwardly, it seems best not to interact with Guan Yue for a while.
This woman is a Senior Star Guidance Master, with intuition and sensitivity surpassing ordinary people in mental perception.
Over this time, it’d be better to have a good chat with Lu Lin.
After all, we are old classmates!
Principal’s Office of Iron Blood College.
Lu Lin walked in and immediately felt that it was much larger and more grandiose than Han Ya’s office at Mingli Academy.
A Yellow Flower Pear Wood desk, with a piece of white rice paper spread out on it.
An old man stood in front of the desk. Without looking up or speaking upon hearing Lu Lin and his companions, he held a brush in his hand. After wetting the ink in the inkstone, he began to write with fluid strokes.
Behind the old man, there were several flourishing green plants, but none of them were rare species, just common ones like devil’s ivy, gladiolus, and lucky bamboo.
On the wall hung a painting of the Eight Steeds. Lu Lin glanced at it, and the eight steeds in the painting seemed so lifelike, as if they were about to gallop out of the frame.
Something’s wrong!
Lu Lin blinked. He sensed that the steeds in the painting were actually alive.
He could even feel the breath and heartbeat of the eight horses.
How is this possible?
Eight living horses embedded in a painting?
Or did the eight horses in the painting suddenly come to life?
Lu Lin looked at Wang Jianfang, who had just finished writing, and finally focused his attention on him.
He couldn’t detect any Star Power fluctuations.
Impossible to be unawakened; it could only be the ninth-level, flawlessness.
Previously, there was Zhao Lei, Long Qianli from the Star Investigation Office, Long Qiansu from the War God Alliance, and Wang Jianfang from Iron Blood University.
Within such a short time, how many ninth-level bosses had he encountered?
Wasn’t it said that in a thousand years of the Federation, fewer than five hundred martial artists reached the ninth level?
The Nine Planets plus the Exotic Battlefield, the federation has a trillion population, yet encountering ninth-level experts was so easy?
"Student Lu Lin, welcome to Iron Blood College."
Wang Jianfang finished his writing before looking up at Lu Lin.
"Hello, Principal Wang."
Lu Lin remained composed. After meeting so many ninth-level bosses, he was no longer as excited as he was when he first saw Zhao Lei.
Wang Jianfang pointed at the Eight Steeds painting on the wall, "Did you notice it?"
Lu Lin knew exactly what he meant.
He nodded, asking, "Principal Wang, the eight horses in this painting seem to be... alive?"
"Hahaha, not bad, not bad, you indeed noticed it."
Wang Jianfang laughed heartily, and his neatly combed silver hair got a bit tousled.
"Very good, Student Lu Lin, your spiritual sensitivity is strong, to have even discovered this."
"Many people come and go in this office, but you’re the twelfth person to notice there’s something unusual about this painting on your first visit."
Uh.
Twelfth, what’s there to be proud of?
Lu Lin thought to himself.
"Haha, you’re probably thinking, what’s the big deal about being the twelfth?"
"Indeed, young people can’t hide their thoughts at all."
"Of the eleven before you, eight were Titled Kings, the ninth was Long Qianli, the tenth was a Black Shark Society master who came to assassinate me, and the eleventh was..."
"Old friend, come out, hiding behind there like a shy girl."
With Wang Jianfang’s call, the air beside him suddenly fluctuated.
A figure slowly emerged.
The person was about one meter sixty-five, lean and emaciated, with a perpetually smiling face, giving Lu Lin a sense of craftiness.
The hair was half black and half white, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, yet it couldn’t conceal the sleazy aura emanating from his body.
Wang Jianfang introduced to Lu Lin, "This is the eleventh person to notice the issue, Chairman Wan of the Star Guide Association, Wan Shushan."
Lu Lin quickly raised his hand in salute.
"Greetings, Chairman Wan."
As a formal Star Guide in the Star Guide Association, how could he not know the famous Wan Shushan?
This senior was the founder of the Designated School.
It was he who helped the Star Guide Association move away from the previous casual guiding of the Star Skills, encouraging Star Guides to diligently research and communicate with each other.
Over the years, Wan Shushan compiled hundreds of books on Star Guide learning, development, constructing Star Power Domains, and both conventional and unconventional Star Skills guiding.
Lu Lin hadn’t read any of them, but that didn’t stop him from admiring Old Master Wan.
"Very well, as I expected, you’re also a Star Guide."
"Not bad, not bad."
Although Wan Shushan’s appearance wasn’t very impressive, his attitude was kind and amiable, giving Lu Lin a feeling of meeting a friendly old grandfather next door.
"Old Wang introduced me, so let me introduce you as well."
"Lu Lin, this is the principal of Iron Blood University, Wang Jianfang, a ninth-level strong person with the Innate Attribute of—Calligraphy and Painting."
"In the Federation, he is known as the unparalleled master of calligraphy and painting. If you’re interested, you might as well learn more from him."
"The subject of calligraphy and painting has some connection to the spirit, learning more about it will be beneficial to you in the future."
"If it wasn’t for your guided Star Skills helping Mountain Breaking King Zhao Lei break through to Titled King, the Federation’s ninth Titled King should have been Old Wang."
Wan Shushan spared no effort in recommending Wang Jianfang, making Principal Wang beam with joy.
Is there anything more delightful than the praise from an old friend of the same age and level?
If there is, it would be...
At this moment, the space fluctuated again, and the sisters Long Qianli and Long Qiansu also arrived at Principal Wang’s office.
Both of them looked at Lu Lin simultaneously.
"Not bad, truly worthy of being the team leader of our Star Investigation Office."
"Not bad, truly worthy of being the Level 4 Member of our War God Alliance."
Both appeared almost simultaneously, and almost spoke at the same time.
After speaking, they looked at each other and snorted coldly, turning their heads away.
"Hey, you two old witches, stop playing this game in front of your own people."
"You’ve been doing this for over three hundred years now, hehe."
Wan Shushan teased directly, not caring that Lu Lin was right in front of him.
"You!"
"Mouse head, I dare you to say that again."
The Long sisters admonished simultaneously.
Making Lu Lin involuntarily shiver.
The world of the bosses is too terrifying.
