Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 55 - 53: Severed with a Single Knife

At noon, after enjoying a delightful meal with mom and dad, Lu Lin returned to his room.

Knowing that Lu Lin was returning today, his parents took a half day off from work, but now they went back to work.

Lu Lin didn’t tell them about his gains on Blue Star or the arrangements for their future lives.

This is a major event concerning the entire family, it’s better to wait for them to come back tonight before discussing it.

After tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, Lu Lin returned to his room and closed the room door.

He wanted to thoroughly research the items he had bought on Wealth Street in the morning.

After setting aside items dated around half a year to a year, Lu Lin was left with a comb, a broken knife, and a secret book named "Ten Steps Kill".

Let’s look at the comb first.

Lu Lin carefully sensed it; the comb didn’t have any special patterns, and although the material couldn’t be identified, it seemed to be made of ordinary wood.

Yet, holding the comb in hand inexplicably evoked a feeling of timelessness.

After wiping it clean, Lu Lin combed his hair with the comb, suddenly feeling tingling on his scalp.

Moreover, seemingly hiddenly, Lu Lin felt his Star Core within starting to tremble incessantly the moment he combed his hair.

What’s going on?

Just combing hair could stir the Star Core.

Lu Lin enveloped a strand of Star Power onto the comb, suddenly... there was no change in the comb.

However, that strand of Star Power vanished within the comb.

This comb is indeed peculiar.

Lu Lin entered his Consciousness Universe, invoked the Star Power Domain to cover the comb, with his eyes closed.

Soon, a smile appeared on Lu Lin’s face.

No wonder.

Although this comb isn’t a miraculous item, it does count as an antique with a thousand-year history.

Despite being an antique, it wouldn’t fetch much money if sold.

The history of the human world has never been interrupted, nor has any calamity descended, so items from a thousand years ago are too numerous, you could easily find many in any abandoned garbage dump.

Nonetheless, the comb’s magic lies in, despite being made of ordinary material, acquiring a peculiar ability through the long evolution of time.

Absorb Star Power.

Absorb Star Power within the comb and store it, when someone combs their hair, the Star Power from the comb can gently release to stimulate and massage the scalp, relieve fatigue, and relax the mind.

Lu Lin infused it with full Star Power, after a trial found that if used normally, the Star Power within the comb can last for about two to three years.

This item, let’s leave it to mom and dad, they can comb their hair for massage and relaxation after coming home from work.

After setting the comb aside, Lu Lin picked up the broken knife.

This broken knife isn’t very old, in Lu Lin’s perception, it’s at most around thirty to fifty years.

Nevertheless, it’s perceived by Lu Lin because the broken knife is saturated with countless bloodstains.

Bloodstains imbued with Star Power.

When Lu Lin grasped the knife handle, he could feel the magnificent killing aura enveloping the broken knife.

If using this knife against an enemy, it might scare them away even before drawing the knife.

However, the knife edge has a slight collision mark; if intending to use it, Lu Lin would have to take it to a specialized manual ironworks to polish it.

Not sure if the Agricultural Tools Grinding Department of mom and dad’s company could handle it.

After a few swings, Lu Lin set the broken knife aside.

Actually, he hopes for a sword to be his weapon in the future.

He practiced sword techniques for three years in high school, using a sword would not only be more effortless but also... cooler.

Imagine effortlessly annihilating numerous exotic beasts, portraying scenes of a jade-like gentleman with sword aura chilling the air, not sure how many naive girls will swoon in Lu Lin’s embrace.

Chuckling a couple of times, seeming to realize this was a bit indecent, Lu Lin composed his expression and picked up the last secret book.

Actually, Lu Lin didn’t hold any hope for getting something from the carpet as he read in novels; it’s just a plot to deceive people.

In reality, having lived eighteen years, he has never heard of such occurrences.

He bought this secret book hoping for a steal; who knows, it could be an overlooked ancient text, selling it might alleviate the family’s financial burdens.

"Ten Steps Kill, derived from the meaning of ’kill a person every ten steps, travel a thousand miles without stopping’ in the poetry of Qinglian Layperson, integrated with my hundred-year accumulation of martial arts experience."

"When Ten Steps Kill reaches great success, killing Golden Body Alien Beasts would be like butchering dogs, nowhere in different regions is out of reach."

"Yet, I forced its deduction with a three hundred-year-old age, causing damage to internal Star Veins, leaving only the first six levels of Ten Steps Kill."

"If any later practitioner can reach its peak, I hope they can deduct and complete the subsequent parts of this book, leaving it to the Human Race, to obliterate different regions."

"Chen Buming, Year, Month, Day."

Upon flipping the first page, Lu Lin was astounded.

This is actually a cultivation method secret book.

Ten Steps Kill.

Lu Lin opened the personal terminal to search for information related to Ten Steps Kill.

No related entries online, but many similar information and content like "One Hundred Steps Kill", "Thousand Steps Kill", "Ten People Kill", "Ten Directions Kill" emerged.

Lu Lin frowned, and searched the three characters of Chen Buming again.

However, after browsing for a while, there were over a thousand people named Chen Buming, with five to six famous ones recorded in the entries.

None fit the profile of the Chen Buming authoring this book.

Could this be a fake secret book trying to fool people?

Lu Lin opened the second page, there was a diagram of a human meridians, with small characters for explanation beside.

Ten Steps Kill utilizes Star Power within, through a unique operation method, transmitting Star Power onto weapons, different conduction routes can unleash varying Knife Qi and Sword Qi to attack the enemy.

Chen Buming researched for numerous years to compile six relatively complete operational routes, creating six levels of Ten Steps Kill.

In Lu Lin’s eyes, these six levels are actually not ranked, and can be seen as six moves of a set of martial techniques.

Lu Lin invoked an extremely weak strand of Star Power, following the route of the first level.

Indeed, he sensed Star Power circulating in the shoulder, arm, elbow, and wrist on the right side.

The crucial part is, there’s no obstruction at all, it feels like there’s a natural route allowing Star Power to flow here.

Lu Lin was greatly excited, he grabbed the broken knife from the desk.

Investing 1% of Star Power, Ten Steps Kill first move!

Star Power swiftly transmitted to the broken knife through Lu Lin’s arm, he swung forward.

This time, Lu Lin saw clearly that there was indeed a line of earthy yellow light emerging on the broken knife.

Is this the Knife Aura?

It took Lu Lin little effort to cultivate it out like this; he was overjoyed.

Once again, he pushed 5% Star Power into the broken knife.

Swung ahead.

"Ha—"

The attached Knife Qi, like a hot knife slicing butter, effortlessly cut open the wall in front of Lu Lin.

Along with it, his elementary school desk used for six years and the items on it were all cut into two by Lu Lin in one slash.

The cut was smooth, complete, without a single rough edge.

Just feels worried that it’d be hard to explain when mom and dad return.

As he was contemplating, an eye appeared at the cut on the wall, and upon seeing Lu Lin in the opposite room, a sharp voice was heard.

"Lu Lin, are you friggin’ nuts!"

"Just got back and you’re already wrecking things!"

"Open the door for me, if I don’t finish you today, my son will take your surname henceforth!"
