Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 175 - 162: Visualization Has Its Affinities
The situation was tense, like a drawn sword and a taut bow.
It seemed as if a fight would break out any moment.
Lu Lin instinctively took two steps back.
When a fight breaks out among ninth-level experts, all he could do was to run as far as possible.
"Hahaha, you two, you haven’t changed a bit after all these years."
"And, Mr. Wan, you are quite the talker. Perhaps speak a bit less in the future."
At this moment, Wang Jianfang stepped out to mediate.
Only then did the two parties glance at each other and turn away.
"Lu Lin, please don’t mind. We’ve all been friends for several hundreds of years and usually crack some harmless jokes like these."
Lu Lin nodded.
Harmless jokes, my foot.
Just now, he felt that Director Long and Sister Long were ready to start attacking.
He was still too young to understand the way these ninth-level experts interacted.
"The reason I called you over this time is to ask about the skill you used just now to stun those people. Is it some kind of Star Skill?"
As Wang Jianfang said this, the other four also turned to look.
It was well known that Mental Secret Skills were always the exclusive domain of Titled Kings.
In this thousand years, many masters in the federation had obtained so-called "mental secret books" from the Exotic Battlefield, but they were nowhere near the level of the mental attacks possessed by Titled Kings.
Ordinary mental secret books could only achieve deterrence, protection, and enhancement of perception abilities—simple applications of spiritual strength like these.
For example, the mental secret book that Feng Yuanyu didn’t get the chance to exhibit after studying for a few days at the East Forest Club belonged to this kind.
But the mental attacks of Titled Kings used spiritual strength to an extraordinary level.
Fetching objects through space, mental deterrence, mental attacks, enhanced sensing, and most importantly, Titled Kings all possessed unique mental domains.
Among the four present, Long Qianli was naturally endowed with strong spiritual strength and keen perception.
Wang Jianfang cultivated calligraphy and painting, nurturing a noble spirit within himself that could seal living beings into his artworks.
Wan Shushan, as the President of the Guide Association, although he had a space element talent, his research on spiritual strength was unmatched by ordinary people.
Long Qiansu had an Illusion Talent and could create illusions with 99% realism out of thin air, which a person with weak spiritual strength would not be able to distinguish once inside the environment.
Although just now Wan Shushan praised Wang Jianfang’s spiritual strength, among the four present, and even across the federation, all Martial Artists who had reached ninth level for some time had conducted research and tempering on spiritual strength to seek a breakthrough to become Titled Kings.
However, no one expected that the ninth person to be promoted would be Zhao Lei, who usually had little to no research on spiritual strength, and he was the first to ascend to become a Titled King.
The federation’s group of ninth-level martial artists formed a communication organization called the Leakless Cottage.
After Zhao Lei ascended to King, everyone was discontent and wanted to figure out how he ascended.
But this information was too well-hidden; those who knew couldn’t speak, and asking those who didn’t know was pointless.
There were suspicions about Lu Lin, but after learning he was just a newly awakened kid, they abandoned that thought.
Today, after Wang Jianfang and others witnessed Lu Lin release a Star Skill—Indifference, which stunned all the elite students of Iron Blood College, they exchanged thoughts and wanted to find out the details from Lu Lin.
"Star Skill?"
"I’m of Earth Talent. How could I have a Star Skill for spiritual strength?"
"However, a few days ago, I picked up a secret book, practiced according to it, and indeed felt that my mental state improved a lot."
Lu Lin looked confused, then appeared to have a sudden realization.
This was the excuse he had prepared long ago.
If he hadn’t obtained the Soul Splitting Skill, he would have just played dumb and let others study him.
But Heaven’s Gift happened when he was merely trying to get some pet food for Xiao Ru and unexpectedly got the Soul Splitting Skill.
Then, quite by accident, he succeeded in cultivation.
Although he knew that under normal circumstances, aside from the Kongming White Ape Clan, no one could successfully cultivate the Soul Splitting Skill.
But having a reason is better than playing dumb forever, right?
"A secret book?"
"What kind of secret book?"
Long Qiansu asked curiously.
"It’s called the Soul Splitting Skill. I’ve also reported this matter to Director Long."
Lu Lin turned to look at Long Qianli.
Long Qianli was puzzled for a moment, "Lu Lin, are you talking about the items obtained while executing a mission that day?"
The rules of the Star Investigation Office require that during missions, investigators must prioritize mission completion.
Items obtained from missions, except for certain special things requiring submission, other gains can be retained by investigators after reporting.
Long Qianli recalled that indeed Lu Lin had submitted a report to her that day.
He said he acquired a vehicle, several units of Premium Pet Food, and a Children’s Doodle Album.
Could it be that the Children’s Doodle Album was the secret book Lu Lin mentioned?
"Yes, after submitting the report that day, I went to have a meal with a friend. After the meal, he invited me to help guide a Star Skill. Gentlemen, you might not have noticed, but not far from Chongnuo City, in Feibei City, the Investigation Bureau Elite there are so busy with official duties that many haven’t had the time to guide Star Skills in Chongnuo City for three or five years."
"After I went, I spent about two hours guiding Star Skills for them. Towards the end, I was guiding a lady when I saw she was holding some Demon Race materials that looked similar to what I saw in the Doodle Album."
