Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

The next day, Lu Lin woke up in the morning and finally received the class and schedule sent to him by Wu Hongming last night.

Every morning, there are two large classes. There are five basic courses:

Knowledge of different regions, knowledge of alien races, knowledge of exotic beasts, geography of different regions, treasures of different regions.

Additionally, there are three star martial cultivation courses, usually held in the afternoon, which are:

Daily cultivation, evenly matched, fighting against ten thousand, jungle adventure.

These eight courses are the core classes and must be learned. There are also many elective courses such as analysis of exotic beast weaknesses, detailed alien languages, alien race living customs, an introduction to secret realm knowledge, sixteen forbidden lands, inheritance type secret realms, treasure type secret realms, death type secret realms... and many more courses.

Wu Hongming suggested to Lu Lin that besides ensuring to master the basic nine courses, it would be best to take more elective courses.

Perhaps knowledge that seems unnecessary today might save a life in the future.

Lu Lin thought of first getting some understanding before making a choice.

After all, just by looking at the names of these courses, he didn't know what they would specifically talk about.

At least, he had never seen or heard the term "secret realm" before and had no understanding of it.

Why is there a death-type secret realm—does it mean you go in and die?

After replying with a thank you to Wu Hongming, Lu Lin got up to wash and eat breakfast.

Zhou Ziqiang had already prepared a pot of dumpling soup and was frying dough sticks.

"Ziqiang, good morning."

"Morning, Mr. Lu."

Zhou Ziqiang turned his head to look over and saw Lu Lin's walking posture was a bit off, though he couldn't pinpoint where.

After thinking for a moment, he decided not to mention it.

Yesterday, Lu Lin had been cultivating all night and woke up full of energy.

Influenced by Lu Lin, Zhou Ziqiang also cultivated all night yesterday and clearly felt his refinement level had improved.

"By the way, Ziqiang, after I left yesterday, how did your match go?"

Lu Lin sat down and asked. Zhou Ziqiang handed him a bowl of dumpling soup, showing a look of "you finally asked me."

"Mr. Lu, all nine of us lost."

"After you left, Principal Wang randomly chose ten students to compete against us, but in the end, we all lost."

"The students from Iron Blood College are just too strong. I need to work harder."

"Hmm."

Lu Lin nodded, indicating his understanding.

The students of Iron Blood College all have initial refinement levels over 0.95%.

Unless the gap isn't large, regular students have no chance of winning.

After all, even casual training for them can match intense effort from you, and Iron Blood College students won't waste their talent. They have also been competing fiercely this past month.

Otherwise, how could Hang Jianshe reach the level of a second level star core warrior in just one month?

"Alright then, let's go to school together later. I... I'm attending classes at Luse Alliance College too."

"What?"

Zhou Ziqiang was startled and nearly put his hand into the oil pan to fry it as well.

"Mr. Lu, didn't you successfully challenge them? Why are you still attending classes at Luse Alliance?"

"Ah... I'll tell you on the way."

After having breakfast, they walked to school together.

It's not that Lu Lin was unwilling to drive, but No. 11 Keming Street is too close to Luse Alliance College.

With the time spent starting and parking the car, they might as well just walk.

Compared to Iron Blood College with a lack of old community activities, Luse Alliance College has more human touch.

Walking through the campus, you can always see groups of students chatting and laughing, and even couples holding hands to class.

It made Lu Lin finally feel the beauty of university life.

Upon arriving at the teaching building, Lu Lin separated from Zhou Ziqiang.

Lu Lin was in the elite class, a small class with only about ten people, while Zhou Ziqiang was in the regular class with over 300 students.

According to the information Wu Hongming sent, Lu Lin went to the third floor of the teaching building.

Inside the classroom, several students were already chatting.

When Lu Lin walked in, all these people turned their heads to look at him without speaking.

Lu Lin smiled.

The few who arrived early were mostly those from yesterday's challenge match.

Yes, Yao Zongheng and Cong Xiaolong were both there, and the others were also first level students.

"Good morning, classmates."

"It seems everyone has recovered well."

Since they would be classmates in the future, Lu Lin felt it necessary to greet them kindly.

Yao Zongheng: ...

Cong Xiaolong: ...

Everyone: ...

Please stop talking.

If you don't mention it, couldn't we just be regular classmates for four years?

"Lu Lin, have a seat."

A voice came from behind the door, startling Lu Lin.

He turned to see it was Lei Ming.

Lu Lin took two steps back and sat down in an empty seat.

The others shifted their seats a bit farther away, wanting to keep a distance from him.

Soon, everyone had arrived.

Lu Lin looked around and found there were eleven people, exactly the ten who were on stage with him yesterday plus him.

Hang Jianshe came in, nodded to Lu Lin, and said nothing.

Zhu Haolin also seemed to want to say something but opened and closed his mouth without speaking.

Strictly speaking, the students in this class were divided into two groups.

Group one: Lu Lin.

Part Two: Lu Lin's defeated opponents.

"Alright, everyone is here. From now on, we're all classmates, so let's be supportive and help each other."

Lei Ming wasn't interested in giving a long speech, so after speaking, he posted a QR code on the big screen.

"This is our class group, everyone scan and join."

"Future course content, schedule, and important announcements will be sent to the group."

"Alright, everyone has joined. I'll send out the materials now, download them."

Lei Ming sent all the content of the basic five courses to the group. Lu Lin, like everyone else, chose to download them in a bundle so he could access them anytime.

However, keeping them in the personal terminal isn't very safe. When facing exotic beasts and alien races, it's best to remember them in your brain for a quick reaction.

"Everyone finished downloading? This concludes our theoretical courses for the year."

"Next, we'll focus fully on the three practical courses."

"Teacher!"

Hang Jianshe raised his hand.

"Go ahead."

"Teacher, aren't there four practical courses: cultivation, combat, group battle, fleeing?"

"Haha, you're talking about that, right."

"The school library has corresponding Star Veins refinement cultivation methods. You can choose them yourself then, I won't go into details here."

"So, our curriculum for the year will focus mainly on the three practical courses, with these three subjects accounting for 90% in the final exam."

"Now, everyone come with me to the Performance Martial Arena, Lu Lin, you too."

Lei Ming felt conflicted, Lu Lin's ability far exceeded everyone else, honestly not suited for this kind of course.

Otherwise, with just a glance of indifference, everyone would essentially be down.

But after thinking about it, Lei Ming still invited him, after all, it's the first class of the new semester.

An hour later, Lu Lin was sitting by the arena, feeling bored.

Ten people on the stage were grouped into pairs for combat training.

Even Hang Jianshe was practicing one-on-one with Cong Xiaolong, gaining practical experience.

It's not that everyone excluded him.

Which new student at Iron Blood College would dare exclude Lu Lin?

Today's practical session was mainly for Lei Ming to understand everyone's Star Martial learning status.

But when Lu Lin went up, relying solely on power and Inch Step, he overwhelmed all ten people, leaving no one willing to spar with him.

Even Lei Ming personally participated, and without using Star Skills, he only held a slight experience advantage.

Therefore, Lei Ming announced that Lu Lin had passed the Star Martial test, and later would understand his Star Skills and Star Power reserves to give targeted combined suggestions.

Lu Lin didn't mind.

He's just observing from the side.

Watching, Lu Lin understood Lei Ming's good intentions.

He started teaching from the most basic standing, footwork, dodging, punching, kicking, and other motions.

Lu Lin knew, he was also lacking in these.

Despite knowing Ten Steps Kill, Inch Step, Golden Body Sutra, Soul Splitting Skill, and Inch Tick—five Star Skills—right now.

These Star Skills were created and refined by masters who truly understood martial arts.

Lu Lin mastering these doesn't mean he's well-founded.

In fact, Lu Lin's foundation is very poor.

While Lei Ming was instructing others, Lu Lin was also quietly learning along.

His learning speed was extremely fast; as long as Lei Ming taught it, he could quickly comprehend and then stand up and execute with the intended sense.

After practicing two or three times, it became quite proficient.

Lei Ming even praised Lu Lin, saying he had great talent and learning ability.

Once Lu Lin turns these basic exertion methods into habits, his combat power will have a significant improvement.

In fact, Lu Lin was already feeling it.

To say nothing, when he was using Inch Step, he felt his speed increased compared to before, but the true improvement was that his movements felt less awkward when transitioning between actions.

Previously practicing Inch Step, it was almost a move per step.

He relied on immense power and familiarity with leg veins to connect each motion.

Unfamiliar spectators would shout 'brilliant'.

But if truly a master of footwork were to battle Lu Lin, they might figure out his movement pattern in one or two shifts, dealing a heavy blow when he changed motion.

After just half an hour of class, practicing Lei Ming's taught footwork and movement momentum, this issue was greatly improved.

Now, facing a fight with dozens, he could more easily and leisurely knock down opponents, while they couldn't touch him at all.

"Alright, that's it for today's class, everyone practice when you go home."

"Students who need it can enter the power footwork training room; there's a high-intensity dodgeball training machine there."

"Lu Lin, Hang Jianshe, Cong Xiaolong, Yao Zongheng, Zhu Haolin, you five stay behind."

After the other students left, Lei Ming walked in front of them and said.

"This year's University Games is about to start, and Lu Lin has already been selected for the school team as a reserve member."

"There's one month left until the preliminary round, let's push ourselves to rapidly reach Third Level and join Lu Lin in experiencing the big stage."

"The preliminary rounds will take place at Bovangpo City on an alien planet, it's also home to Hua Xia Military Academy, West Point Military Academy, and Amazon Military Academy. If you have the opportunity to go, you might even spar with experts from these three schools."

Each of them wore a serious expression.

Right now they could only attend as reserve members to observe, but two years later, they must take responsibility for leading the team.

By then, when the old students leave and the new ones aren't up to par, if their abilities are too weak, they might bring disgrace to Iron Blood College.

"By the way, Lu Lin, to what extent has your Star Veins refinement progressed, do you need school resource support?"

"If you can reach Fourth Level within a month, there's a chance you can participate."

"I need it."

Lu Lin nodded and said.

Though what he needs isn't merely Star Crystal and elixir-like materials, he needs a large number of students or martial artists who have not comprehended Star Skills.

If there's even a Level 6 Martial Artist, that's even better.
