Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 35 - 33: The Possibility of Self-Guiding a Star Skill

Chapter 35: Chapter 33: The Possibility of Self-Guiding a Star Skill

Lu Lin exited the Consciousness Universe.

He slowly opened his eyes.

Opposite him, Xiao Ru, holding a cute little white cat in her arms, also opened her eyes.

"Meow?"

The white cat let out a puzzled meow, seemingly wondering why it suddenly appeared in a strange place from a world full of yellow sand.

Table, bed, chair, and the man with deep eyes opposite.

"Oh! The little white cat came out with me!"

Xiao Ru shouted joyfully.

Holding the little white cat, Xiao Ru looked around, constantly stroking its head.

The joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

Lu Lin smiled.

Xiao Ru had a Summoning Talent; it was perfectly normal that she could bring the summoned exotic beast out of the Star Power Domain.

"Alright, Xiao Ru, you’re now a master at comprehending Star Skills."

"Hurry up and tell your brother."

"Right! I’ll go immediately!"

Xiao Ru jumped up, opened the room door, and was greeted by Zhou Ziqiang’s signature 8:20 furrowed brows.

"Brother, look!"

Xiao Ru lifted the little white cat in front of Zhou Ziqiang, presenting it proudly.

"Little white cat?"

Zhou Ziqiang’s gaze shifted towards Lu Lin, filled with confusion.

"Mr. Lu, you... weren’t you helping guide the Star Skill? How did a little cat appear?"

"Ahem..."

"Brother, it wasn’t brother who brought it out; I pulled it out from the Black Hole myself!"

Before Lu Lin could explain, Xiao Ru chattered about everything that happened after she entered the Star Power Domain.

But, as a child, her narrative was somewhat disjointed, making Zhou Ziqiang even more confused.

"Xiao Ru, wait a minute, let me tell your brother."

Lu Lin went to the door and explained Xiao Ru’s situation to Zhou Ziqiang.

Then, gently patting Xiao Ru’s head, he advised, "Xiao Ru, for now, you mustn’t tell anyone about your Awakening Talent and comprehending Star Skills. Just say this little white cat is a gift from your brother."

A seven-year-old Summoning Star Warrior—if this were known, she wouldn’t just be taken for research.

The federation would definitely take Xiao Ru’s talent very seriously, sending the top teachers to teach various combat skills.

The top Star Skill Instructors would guide her in comprehending Star Skills.

She would receive all sorts of high-end Star Power Potions, unavailable on the market, and unheard-of training methods applied to her.

Lu Lin always believed that in one’s life, no matter what achievements one could attain.

The most important thing was freedom.

If Xiao Ru were secretly trained by the federation, her combat power might become incredibly formidable in the future.

But right now, she’s only a seven-year-old child.

Amusement parks, dolls, delicious sweets, peculiar period dramas, and equally adorable classmates should be important parts of her life.

Not training, fighting, or missions.

"Brother, for how long? Until I marry brother?"

Lu Lin’s face stiffened.

Why does Xiao Ru always have such unique points of concern?

"Uh, sort of, but Xiao Ru, promise brother you’ll keep this secret from everyone, alright?"

"Mm."

Xiao Ru nodded, continuing to play with the little white cat.

Zhou Ziqiang, after listening to Lu Lin’s explanation, was very tense.

He was also afraid his sister’s secret would be exposed and that she’d have to live a life of training every day.

Their parents had both passed away, leaving Xiao Ru as his only family in the world.

He couldn’t bear the thought of his sister leaving him.

Now, Zhou Ziqiang crouched down, looking at his sister:

"Xiao Ru, promise brother and Brother Lu Lin, do not tell anyone your secret, understand?"

"This is something you must remember."

"Otherwise, if people learn about your Talent and Star Skills, you won’t be able to watch those TV dramas I found for you."

"No way, I want to watch!"

Xiao Ru said loudly, "I’m only on the seventeenth episode of ’The Noble Woman: The Cold-Faced General Falls for Me,’ and ’Quick Transmigration: Conquer the Heavens Starting with the Maid’ is still waiting for an update."

"Brother, rest assured, I definitely won’t tell anyone about my talent."

Zhou Ziqiang’s warning was simple yet effective.

When she heard she couldn’t watch TV dramas, Xiao Ru immediately puffed her cheeks like an angry little cat.

"Alright, alright."

Zhou Ziqiang said happily, "Then tomorrow, we’ll go register the little white cat, saying we bought it, okay?"

"Okay, okay, whatever you want, brother, you’re so annoying."

Xiao Ru readily agreed, taking the little white cat back to her room, "Little white cat, let me give you a name..."

Watching Xiao Ru close the door, Lu Lin and Zhou Ziqiang exchanged smiles.

"Zhou Ziqiang, don’t worry, I will never reveal Xiao Ru’s secret."

"After all, Xiao Ru is so adorable; if she leaves a healthy growth environment, her character might change."

"Mm, Mr. Lu, thank you this time."

Zhou Ziqiang felt grateful, but as eloquent as he usually was, he couldn’t find many words to express his thanks now.

"Mr. Lu, I plan to take Xiao Ru to study at a university on Mercury. I might need to go ahead to rent a house and transfer her to a new school."

"Fortunately, Xiao Ru has only studied at her current elementary school for one year, so she should adapt quickly to a new environment."

After his father’s death, Zhou Ziqiang had more to consider than before, with more responsibilities weighing on him.

Now, he also had to take on his sister’s upbringing, and he wasn’t as carefree as before.

"Mm, having Xiao Ru by your side is great. Mercury and Mars are planets that have been developed for a thousand years, so Xiao Ru will fit in well."

"Well, it’s getting late, I’ll head back first."

"Call me if there’s anything. Xiao Ru, for now, don’t have her refining her Star Veins, let her grow up slowly."

"I understand, Mr. Lu."

Zhou Ziqiang escorted Lu Lin to the entrance, looking as if he wanted to say more: "Mr. Lu, I, I don’t know how to thank you, my father didn’t leave much money..."

"Zhou Ziqiang, no need for that."

Lu Lin interrupted, "We’re brothers, aren’t we? Between brothers, there’s no need for such talk."

"Take good care of Xiao Ru, I’m leaving."

Lu Lin wasn’t keen on having a drawn-out sentimental conversation, especially between two grown men.

There were better ways to spend time; he should get home and continue refining his Second Star Vein.

After two and a half intense days of cultivation, Lu Lin’s Second Star Vein had reached a refinement degree of 99.8%.

With a bit of overtime tonight, it might just reach 100%, completing the advancement.

After that, using the advanced Second Star Vein’s Star Power to refine the Earth-Type Star Vessel will definitely be more effective.

No matter if the initial refinement degree is 0.78%.

Lu Lin believed he wouldn’t be any less than Zuo Yiming or Luo Ling.

On his way, Lu Lin suddenly thought of a problem.

Every level of a Star Core Warrior has two opportunities to comprehend Star Skills.

What should he do?

Seek Jiang Yueming?

That would expose the secret of the Second Talent.

Guide himself?

Never heard of it!

Lu Lin sat on the electromagnetic bus, starting to search for cases where a Star Skill Instructor could guide him in comprehending Star Skills.
