Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 685 - 483: Thousand Victory Flowers, Surprise, Hidden Stage 2

"Reporting to the Mountain Master, I have a major issue... no, a super major issue to report. This matter concerns the Daoist inheritance of my General Mountain for millions of years. I hope the Mountain Master will come out..."

As the Elder was speaking, the quiet room door in front of him slowly opened.

"Come in and speak."

A clear and bright voice came from the dark quiet room, sounding like a person in their twenties. However, the Elder dared not show any disrespect.

The position of Mountain Master that Lv Potian holds was achieved through sheer strength with his iron fists.

"Yes."

The Elder respectfully walked into the room and saw a towering silhouette in the darkness with the help of a faint light.

The lineage of General Mountain was founded countless years ago by the Giant Tribe of the Longyuan World. Over time, due to various reasons, other race's powerful members also joined General Mountain.

However, the Mountain Master Lv Potian is the unparalleled super genius of the Giant Tribe in the past 100,000 years.

Standing at fifteen meters tall, even sitting quietly on a massive cushion, he gave the Star Emperor-level Elder an overwhelming sense of dread.

The Elder reported his discoveries faithfully to Lv Potian.

Sitting on the cushion, Lv Potian nodded slightly as he listened, taking a while before he let out a sigh.

"Alright, I understand. Keep monitoring that kid, and do not spread any news about him to outsiders for now."

"After all, he's still young. Let him grow a little more first."

"In addition, General Ti Hu of Hu Wei Army recommended well. Appropriate promotions should be given, and his father, Di Zhong, who has been diligent and dedicated, should be rewarded with a Thousand Victory Flower to help him advance to the Star Emperor level."

Thousand Victory Flower!!!

The Elder was shocked and almost couldn't help but swear aloud in front of Lv Potian.

It's not his fault. The Thousand Victory Flower is a unique specialty of General Mountain, with only three blooming every ten thousand years.

It can help cultivators in the Star Emperor stage to reach the Star Emperor level. Of course, this Thousand Victory Flower does not have a 100% success rate in helping cultivators advance.

It has only a 50% efficacy.

But for those strong enough to reach the Star Emperor level, they are already smooth and complete in body and spirit. Even without the Thousand Victory Flower, they would have a twenty to thirty percent chance to break through to the Star Emperor level.

When the Thousand Victory Flower is added, the Elder thought that even a pig could easily be promoted.

The fact is, indeed, this is true. Over countless years, all those who have obtained and consumed a Thousand Victory Flower have entered the Star Emperor Realm.

Lv Potian spoke as if it were nothing, and the Elder thought it would have been enough to just promote Ti Hu a little.

Unexpectedly, the Mountain Master's main focus was still on Di Zhong.

Being a fellow inner sect Elder of General Mountain, this Elder naturally knew Di Zhong.

This guy had always been worried sick about his own son, saying that besides a little talent in cultivation, he was utterly clueless about military strategy. How could you charge directly at the opponent's leader while the soldiers hadn't even started fighting yet when you're leading a legion-wide battle?

Di Zhong had been constantly worried about this son.

Moreover, Ti Hu had been at the Star Lord Peak for quite some time now. Without an opportunity, even if he entered the Star King Realm later on, at most he would only end up as a steward in General Mountain's Outer Gate, spending his life in mediocrity.

Every time Di Zhong talked about Ti Hu, it was with a face full of sorrow and anguish. But now, unexpectedly, fortune had favored, and the usually careless, easygoing Ti Hu ended up recruiting a genius possibly ranked among the top three on the Hidden Dragon List.

It seems that he should interact more with Di Zhong in the future, and incidentally, let his own descendants get close to Ti Hu as well.

The Elder didn't know how he returned to the intelligence room, but soon, the Mountain Master Lv Potian's orders were delivered.

No Big Shot paid much attention to the promotion of Ti Hu to a small leader position, but Di Zhong receiving a Thousand Victory Flower was akin to a bombshell crashing into the water.

What had Di Zhong done to deserve a Thousand Victory Flower?

There are plenty of people more senior than him in the mountain.

There are also many at the Star Emperor Peak whose abilities surpass his own.

Besides, nothing major had happened in the mountain recently.

What exactly did Di Zhong rely on to receive this Thousand Victory Flower?

The key is that, at this moment, Di Zhong is not even on General Mountain. His job, which involves educational responsibilities, is to sit in the sects, kingdoms, and academies under General Mountain, incessantly pushing training initiatives and helping select talents for General Mountain.

How did this guy earn the Mountain Master Lv Potian's bestowal of a Thousand Victory Flower?

Thousands of miles away from General Mountain, when Di Zhong received this reward, he was utterly confused.

What did he do?

Although he had found a few decent seedlings recently, he had not yet reported them, as they were still under observation.

But although he didn't understand why, he happily accepted the Thousand Victory Flower and then immediately went into retreat, to refine the Thousand Victory Flower and endeavor for the Star Emperor realm.

...

The scene shifted back to Lu Lin.

The Tower Spirit of the Tower of Heavenly Talent informed him of the results of the strength test. Among many Towers of Heavenly Talent under General Mountain's jurisdiction, Lu Lin ranked first in the Star Dust stage.

At the same time, a figure identical to Lu Lin in appearance and attire appeared in front of him.

Next was the process of infusing spiritual strength. Lu Lin injected a trace of spiritual strength into it, subsequently feeling that he could maintain two perspectives.

It seemed that no matter where or when, he could always focus his gaze on this avatar's illusionary figure.

No wonder Huangfu Zhan mentioned looking forward to meeting Lu Lin before; he could evidently observe his battle with Lu Lin.

Nevertheless, even now, after infusing his spiritual strength, Lu Lin still didn't understand what secret the Tower Spirit was selling.

"Powerful man Lu Lin, the projection is now completed. Your combat data has all been recorded. Do you wish to proceed to the next layer for the challenge?"

"Yes."

Lu Lin didn't want to stay here any longer; he might as well see what kind of powerful opponents were waiting in the next layer.

Once understanding Lu Lin's request, the Tower Spirit created a portal of light for him to enter.

Just as Lu Lin stepped through the light portal to enter the second layer, a new name appeared on the leaderboard of all first layers of the Towers of Heavenly Talent under General Mountain.

"Hidden Stage, Lu Lin, Human Race expert from Tianyuan World."

Many Heavenly Talents currently challenging this layer couldn't help but click on this newly appeared option on the leaderboard.

Soon after, they were transported to a regular arena, facing the illusionary figure of Lu Lin on the opposite side.

Many saw Lu Lin's unremarkable appearance and thought that the so-called Hidden Stage was nothing special.

However, within seconds, when these Heavenly Talents, feeling innocent, confused, pained, and shocked, left the combat space, they understood what Hidden Stage meant.

It can only mean an unbeatable opponent that would always leave them defeated.

But... does such a powerhouse really exist?

They were floored on the ground by a single strike, it was simply incredible.

In the second layer, Lu Lin just finished battling with a puppet and suddenly felt that an indescribable aura brought numerous strands of spiritual strength to him.

These strands weren't at all aggressive and seemed to inherently belong to him.

Lu Lin was puzzled.

Just now, he only infused a strand of spiritual strength into the illusion; how had he suddenly received so many in return? Could this spiritual strength cultivate itself?

Lu Lin's speculation isn't entirely correct.

The returned spiritual strength is indeed related to the illusionary avatar from before. However, this spiritual strength wasn't cultivated by that avatar, but rather obtained by Lu Lin's avatar from those Heavenly Talents he defeated in battles.

This was the surprise the Tower Spirit mentioned.

Though each battle yielded only a small amount of spiritual strength, imagine extending this over thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Especially since the Tower Spirit attributed the title of Hidden Stage to Lu Lin, henceforth, all Towers of Heavenly Talent under General Mountain would house a projection of Lu Lin, accumulating impressive amounts of spiritual strength.

Someday, Lu Lin might leverage such returned spiritual strength to reach new heights in spiritual strength cultivation.

But that was for the future. Lu Lin smiled faintly and opened the Star Core Period's leaderboard once again, now preparing to challenge the top three.
