Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 93 - 91: Testing Star Skills, Brutal Training
"Swamp!"
Lu Lin unleashed a star skill, and a significant portion of the star power within the Star Veins was immediately extracted.
About three meters in front of Lu Lin, in what was originally an area of wilderness overgrown with weeds, a patch of swamp appeared.
Lu Lin took advantage of the night to inspect it closely.
Instantly, the expression on his face was quite remarkable.
Is this a joke!?
The range of the swamp was only one meter long and one meter wide.
How could a place this small trap any enemies?
Originally, he thought it was a crowd-slowing skill, but after all the anticipation, it turned out to be only a single-target skill?
Imagining a large group of aliens or exotic beasts charging at him, and then using the swamp to trap one opponent.
With nothing left to obstruct them, they would charge forward and kill him and his companions.
Lu Lin couldn’t help but shiver.
Too terrifying.
This star skill, apart from being somewhat useful in one-on-one encounters or in targeting key enemies, couldn’t form significant combat power in a short time.
How to put it, the use range of this skill is limited, and the consumption of star power...
Lu Lin entered the Consciousness Universe to check on the star power situation in the Earth-Type Star Vessel.
Luckily.
Releasing a swamp one meter by one meter consumed a low amount of Lu Lin’s energy, using only about 3% of his current star power.
Acceptable.
In fact, Lu Lin thought that if the number of opponents wasn’t large, he could continuously release three, five, or ten swamps to hinder their movements.
Strategic Star Skills?
Thinking about it this way, it didn’t seem so bad.
After experimenting with the swamp skill a few times, Lu Lin realized that within a short time, he couldn’t apply the swamp to large groups of enemies, but precisely slowing down single-targets was feasible.
Then, Lu Lin found a dilapidated brick house, which seemed to be a place humans lived long ago, but was now abandoned for unknown reasons.
Lu Lin went inside and discovered many ordinary small animals hiding inside.
Noticing Lu Lin’s arrival, these small animals fled in panic.
In their eyes, Lu Lin, who had already reached Level 1 Peak, was undoubtedly a terrifying monster.
The house had some old furniture with faded marks and reeked of a foul odor.
After confirming that no humans were inside, Lu Lin walked out.
"Earth Shattering."
After releasing the Earth Shattering Star Skill, Lu Lin felt the star power in his body suddenly follow a peculiar operation path through his right arm, attaching to his fist.
Bang.
A loud boom.
A big hole was blown out in the wall in front of Lu Lin.
Lu Lin took a few steps back, inspecting the big hole in the wall and the surrounding cracks.
The big hole was caused by his strength, combined with the house’s age and disrepair.
As for the surrounding cracks, Lu Lin knew they weren’t the result of residual force.
Earth Shattering.
It was the additional effect of Earth Shattering.
After the star power passed through his arm and entered the wall by some miraculous operation, it vibrated the internal structure of the wall, creating numerous cracks on the wall surface.
Lu Lin’s heart thrilled; this operation method of the Earth Shattering was similar to Ten Steps Kill and Inch Step.
Both utilized star power, released through some special regulatory operation method to cause destructive power.
However, Ten Steps Kill and Inch Step are martial artists actively constructing the operation method among themselves, whereas the Earth Shattering Star Skill forms this operation method automatically.
Lu Lin’s thoughts dispersed anew.
Given that star skills and martial techniques have such similarities, could the other star skills he’s currently comprehending—War Cry, Stone Skin, Swamp, Perception, Evasion, Inner Vision—also follow the same principles?
Following this line of thinking, could Lu Lin, like Chen Buming who created Ten Steps Kill, devise a new or even multiple new star skills on his own?
If he could create such star skills, Lu Lin could rely on Inner Vision to strengthen and fortify the meridians through which the star skills circulate, enhancing the speed and volume of star power passing through them.
No, something’s off with this approach.
Lu Lin suddenly realized that when he unleashed the swamp earlier, he felt no trace of star power circulating within his body.
The Human Federation divides star skills into four major categories:
Combat, Spells, Support, Special.
The samples Lu Lin can currently examine are too few; not to mention spells, support, and specials, even with combat star skills, he has only Earth Shattering, deriving conclusions from just one star skill is not feasible.
About this, Lu Lin decided to wait until he acquired more star skills in the future.
After experimenting with new star skills, Lu Lin returned to Mingze Hotel the same way he came.
Early the next day, Hu Nan sent someone to await Lu Lin’s arrival in a car downstairs at the hotel.
They would take about three hours to travel to the Excellent Soldier Training Base to guide star skills for the sergeant there.
The journey was uneventful.
Maolin.
This wasn’t a dense forest, but a city constructed within a wasteland.
Lu Lin didn’t know why the federation built a city here, nor why a city in such a desolate area was named Maolin.
He traveled by car to the training base, where he met the one hundred forty-two excellent soldiers who would receive guidance this time.
Clearly different from the new recruits he saw two days ago in Mingze.
These excellent soldiers exuded a murderous aura, and just standing in formation there, Lu Lin felt an air of immovable mountain-persistence.
Hu Nan, as the head instructor of the training base, also introduced Lu Lin’s abilities to everyone.
All at once, the eyes of the hundred-plus people below changed.
Hope.
Excitement.
Expectation.
A variety of emotions mixed together.
Without any waste of words, Lu Lin entered the cultivation room within the base and began guiding star skills for the many soldiers.
This time, he specifically instructed every soldier entering the Star Power Domain to demonstrate all their comprehended star skills once inside.
Because it would increase the success rate.
The soldiers naturally agreed; it was simple for them.
And increasing the success rate—even though Hu Nan had just said Lu Lin could guarantee one hundred percent success in guiding star skills for everyone, who would refuse a higher success rate?
In the cultivation room, soldiers went back and forth.
Having guided 1,500 people in Mingze for a day and a night, guiding a little over a hundred people presented no pressure for Lu Lin.
By just after noon, all one hundred forty-two people had completed the guidance.
Among them, twenty-one people comprehended Double Star Skills, and the remaining one hundred twenty-one people also mastered quite impressive star skills.
Most importantly, nearly 200 new star skills were inscribed in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.
It was a bountiful harvest this time.
From First to Third Level, martial artists primarily cultivate Star Veins, and their combat methods and comprehended star skills are more or less the same.
Lu Lin counted, and within three days, he had inscribed over 800 new star skills into his domain.
These were all foundational Five Elements Attribute star skills, with some occasional Five Elements Variant Star Skills.
In the latest star skill directory published by the federation, there were over forty thousand basic star skills (star skills potentially comprehensible from any First to Third Level Star Core Warrior).
But Lu Lin couldn’t possibly guide every Star Core Warrior in the federation just to gather them all.
Having this many was already a great satisfaction for him.
At noon, when Hu Nan went out on business, a dedicated soldier from the training base was assigned to guide Lu Lin.
As Lu Lin headed to the training ground, he saw the sergeants going through rigorous drills.
All were Star Core Warriors, and they faced higher and more difficult obstacles, with hidden soldiers on both sides ready to launch surprise attacks.
Lu Lin even saw some... they must have been exotic beasts.
He rubbed his eyes and saw a Black-Backed Wolfhound the size of a young calf, drooling at the mouth as it chased a soldier.
This training was too close to being brutal.
