Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 180 - 166: Inch Tick

What’s going on here?

Guan Kuang was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Mr. Wang, Mr. Chen is... promoted?"

Guan Kuang wore an expression of disbelief.

Although he had heard from Guan Yue that Lu Lin was incredibly skilled in guiding Star Skills, this was just too amazing.

It hadn’t even been half an hour and Chen Yuqiong had been guided to a breakthrough and promotion?

"Yes, Mr. Chen is a bit faster. I also have a feeling; I should be able to reach the Seventh Level within a week."

"What?"

Guan Kuang felt like he was meeting Wang Ming for the first time.

He was also about to be promoted.

The Jinchao Pioneering Team has a leader, two deputy leaders, and now only he was still at the Level 6 intermediate stage.

"Hahaha!"

"Awesome!"

"So, this is the Golden Body Realm. Feels good."

"Mr. Guan, since you’re here, how about a little sparring?"

"No sparring."

Guan Kuang felt depressed.

In the past, the leaders of the Jinchao Pioneering Team were their top combat strength.

Even though Wang Ming and Chen Yuqiong were at the Level 6 Peak, he wasn’t far behind at the Level 6 intermediate stage.

But now, one has been directly promoted, and the other claims to be able to complete the promotion within a week, while he remains at the Level 6 intermediate stage.

Meanwhile, after years of cultivation, a large number of team members’ cultivation levels have gradually increased.

There are plenty of Fourth and Fifth Level members, and some have even broken through to the Sixth Level.

He couldn’t catch up with those ahead, and those behind were approaching quickly.

Guan Kuang glanced deeply at Lu Lin, who was still immersed in the Consciousness Universe, turned around, and left without saying a word.

He needed to cultivate. He needed to cultivate.

It’s just about connecting the five senses.

He didn’t believe that in one month he couldn’t break through to the Level 6 Peak, and then he would immediately call Lu Lin for help in guiding Star Skills.

When Lu Lin woke up, Chen Yuqiong was immensely grateful to him, making Lu Lin a bit embarrassed.

Wang Ming waved his hand grandly and showed Lu Lin all the liquid funds in the team, asking him to give an account number for the transfer.

Lu Lin saw the 57 million inside and swallowed a hard gulp.

He regretted telling Guan Kuang that he would leave at the mention of money.

million.

If he really accepted that, Lu Lin’s account would surpass a hundred million.

"No need, Captain Wang, I already have some relationship with Mr. Guan. You should know that he has a granddaughter named Guan Yue, who’s also a Star Guide..."

"Alright, alright, I understand, I understand."

Wang Ming said with a laugh, his eye-corner wrinkles framing the scars.

"Since you said so, bringing up money again would seem distant. You could say you’re already part of the Jinchao family."

"How about this, just let me know if you need anything from now on."

"Whether it’s entering Exotic Training or searching for materials, medicinal herbs, as long as we have it or can find it, just say the word."

"In the meantime, we’ll be waiting to attend your and Xiao Guan Yue’s wedding banquet."

Despite his words, Wang Ming still pulled out a golden card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Lin.

"This is our Jinchao Barbecue Restaurant’s Gold Membership Card. In the future, just show this card, and you can enjoy all the Jinchao Barbecue you want."

"Later, I’ll have your identity details recorded, so even if you don’t have it with you, it will automatically waive your bill at checkout."

Lu Lin accepted the card.

This was simply a goodwill gesture. If he genuinely used this card to dine at the Jinchao Barbecue daily, it wouldn’t seem appropriate over time.

It would give the impression of deliberately taking advantage.

"Little Lu, I also have something good for you."

"Please don’t refuse."

Chen Yuqiong said as he took out a small metallic box from his pocket, causing Wang Ming’s eyes to tighten slightly.

"Old Chen, you actually managed to part with that?"

"Haha, it’s not that hard to part with it."

Chen Yuqiong opened the box, inviting Lu Lin to take out the pure, transparent crystal about the size of a soybean.

From it, Lu Lin felt a massive star power energy.

"This is..."

"This is a Star Crystal, an attributeless Star Crystal."

"Previously, Old Wang found it inside an exotic beast on the Exotic Battlefield and brought it to me."

"Although it is an attributeless Star Crystal, not only can you extract star power from it, but it is also beneficial for your spiritual strength."

"We watched your match process this morning as well."

"At first, we didn’t know what the move was that knocked out your opponent until someone online said it was similar to a Titled King’s ’Spiritual Secret Skill.’ That’s when I decided to give you this Star Crystal."

"Now, as I’ve reached the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm, this is not particularly useful to me, so I hope you won’t despise it."

As Chen Yuqiong spoke, he reached up to put on his hat.

But his hand happened to touch his head, where he felt a prickly sensation.

Chen Yuqiong was stunned.

"Old... Old Wang, take a look, am I growing hair on my head?"

Not only Wang Ming, but even Lu Lin turned to look at Chen Yuqiong’s head upon hearing this.

They saw hair sprouting from the bald scalp like the earth’s revival in spring.

"It’s growing, really growing."

"Old Chen, you’ve truly achieved a restoration of your golden body."

Wang Ming shouted loudly, and Chen Yuqiong beamed with joy.

With a box in his hand, he pushed it towards Lu Lin again, "Little Lu, you see, I’ve grown hair. You should accept this Star Crystal."

"Well...

Lu Lin hesitated a bit.

"Accept it, little Lu. This thing isn’t worth much; just treat it as Old Chen’s gesture of gratitude."

Wang Ming also chimed in.

The Star Crystal indeed isn’t very valuable. The size of a fingertip would typically only be worth around a million.

The one Chen Yuqiong held, even though attributeless, wouldn’t exceed two million in value.

And considering it’s been partially used, its value would naturally drop significantly.

"Alright, thanks then."

Lu Lin accepted the Star Crystal and put it in his pocket first.

At this moment, the door of the Cultivation Room was opened again, and the three turned their heads to look, and it turned out to be Guan Kuang.

"Mr. Guan, what’s going on with you?"

"It’s nothing, I’m looking for Lu Lin."

"Lu Lin, come out for a moment."

"Oh."

Lu Lin followed Guan Kuang out of the room, Guan Kuang asked softly, "Lu Lin, where’s my granddaughter?"

"Hmm? Guan Yue?"

"What happened to her?"

Lu Lin felt a tightness in his heart.

Just now, when he arrived at Jinchao headquarters, he received two messages from Guan Yue.

In such a short time, surely nothing could have happened to her, right?

"You don’t know?"

"Strange, I know a little about my granddaughter’s character."

"Logically, she should already be in Chongnuo City by now, and even if she isn’t, she should be on the Starship coming from Saturn."

"By the way, Lu Lin, has Guan Yue contacted you these past few days?"

Guan Kuang murmured to himself and then asked.

"No... she hasn’t..."

"What? Lu Lin, you big old man, is it no or yes? Can’t you be clearer?"

"Yes."

"Damn!"

"I knew it."

Guan Kuang punched the wall behind Lu Lin with an expression of having expected this.

Although he didn’t return to Saturn often, he occasionally called Guan Pingchao and Guan Yue and had a fair understanding of his granddaughter’s character.

Unexpectedly, the silly girl actually rushed over from Saturn for Lu Lin.

Back then, when she was going to university, Guan Kuang kept inviting Guan Yue to the Alien, whether it was Chongnuo City or the surrounding cities. He hadn’t been wasting his time on the Exotic Battlefield these years, at least ensuring his granddaughter’s safety was not a problem.

But at that time, Guan Yue resolutely refused, leaving no room for doubt.

Unexpectedly, now she actually traveled thousands of miles from Saturn for this stinky brat Lu Lin.

"Lu Lin, treat my granddaughter well in the future."

"If you don’t like her, just stay away from her. Don’t give her hope and fantasy."

"She’s a very silly girl."

Lu Lin nodded dumbly.

Not replying to Guan Yue’s message just now should count as being "cold and heartless," "unfeeling," and "inhumane," right?

After all this, Guan Yue probably won’t look for him anymore... right?

"Alright, take this, consider it a deposit."

"When I reach Level 6 Peak, I’ll invite you to help guide Star Skills."

Guan Kuang said, tossing a small booklet from his pocket.

Lu Lin’s eyes narrowed.

This booklet looked very similar to the Inch Step booklet Guan Pingchao had given him back then.

"Inch Tick"

Lu Lin held the booklet in his hand and looked at Guan Kuang: "Big Brother Guan, this is..."

"The second half of Inch Step."

Guan Kuang said slowly.

Back then, when Guan Kuang first entered the Exotic Battlefield, he accidentally entered a Secret Realm.

There, he faced a life-threatening situation but managed to obtain the Inch Step Secret Book.

Through years of cultivation, his ability increased, and his understanding of Inch Step grew deeper.

Inch Step cultivation has four realms: square inch, flowing water, thunderstrike, and space instant.

Although Guan Kuang’s Star Power level was not at Level 6 Peak, he had reached the thunderstrike realm in Inch Step cultivation.

Just one step away from the space instant realm.

Obtaining the ability of space movement with less than ninth level Star Power.

But the further he cultivated, the more he felt that Inch Step wasn’t merely a simple footwork.

Three years ago, he returned to the Secret Realm from back then and searched for half a month until he finally found this "Inch Tick."

Inch Tick, corresponding to Inch Step, is a high-level offensive type Star Martial technique.

Even after cultivating for three years, he had only learned the first three moves of Inch Tick.

As Lu Lin was invited today to help Wang Ming and Chen Yuqiong with guiding Star Skills, Guan Kuang felt obliged but had nothing good to offer Lu Lin.

He just went back and rummaged through his "little treasure vault" and thought since Lu Lin also learned Inch Step, coincidentally, he gifted Inch Tick to him as well.

Just hoping, in the future, Lu Lin could also promote this offensive Star Martial technique.

"Thank you, Big Brother Guan."

"I will definitely cultivate it well."

Guan Kuang waved his hand with a face saying "you’re on your own," not wanting to say more, and then he returned on his own.

Lu Lin pocketed the Inch Tick, the Jinchao Barbecue Gold Card, and the Attributeless Star Crystal, feeling that this time’s gain wasn’t small.

When he has time later, he should focus on cultivation.

Busy these days, no time for cultivation again.

The school is about to start, and things on all fronts should wrap up.

Oh right, Zuo Yiming and Luo Ling are still around, better go chat with them quickly.

Lu Lin rushed back home, seeing Zuo Yiming and others buying a few bottles of Qingdao and drinking at home.

"Old Lu, Old Lu, come, have some wine."

Zuo Yiming eagerly invited, face flushed.

This guy could keep up the appearance of a large family’s Young Master in front of outsiders, but once he becomes familiar with you, he reveals his true nature.

Studying on an Alien, Zuo Zhenyu can’t control him, he’d indulge even more.

He heard that after only two days of reporting to school, he had already gone out drinking several times with dormitory classmates.

Lu Lin thought mischievously.

He’d take photos of Zuo Yiming’s drunken state and send them to Zuo Zhenyu later; there would definitely be a show to watch then.

Just as Zuo Yiming took a sip of wine, he felt a chill run through his body.

Heart said: There are always traitors trying to harm me.
