Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

"Good morning, Mr. Lu."

Early in the morning, Zhou Ziqiang greeted Lu Lin with panda eyes in the kitchen.

"Mm, morning, Ziqiang, what's going on with you?"

Lu Lin pointed at the area around his eyes.

"It's nothing, I've been cultivating at night these past couple of days, maybe just lacking a bit of sleep."

"Ha—choo—"

Zhou Ziqiang said, unable to hold back a huge yawn.

Lu Lin looked speechless, "Ziqiang, you're working too hard, you're straining yourself too much."

"Forget it, it's none of my business, today is Friday anyway, I'm planning to visit the Star Guide Association after school, you'll have to come back by yourself."

"Alright."

Zhou Ziqiang agreed, continuing to yawn as he made breakfast.

Lu Lin couldn't bear to watch.

Although Zhou Ziqiang is the weakest in the house, leaving him to make breakfast alone always felt inappropriate.

Chen Xiran?

No way.

This girl only excels at boasting, she's terrible at cooking just like she's terrible at facing the enemy.

Fang Gang?

Even worse.

This guy seizes the chance when Zhou Ziqiang isn't around in the kitchen to study elixirs, even turning on the range hood, relying on him to cook might end up poisoning everyone in the house.

Bai Buyi?

Lu Lin thought for a moment, Bai Buyi joined the team because of the Kongming White Ape incident, so Lu Lin was always on guard when interacting with him, uncertain if he would be willing to cook.

Once thought of, it must be done.

Lu Lin walked to Bai Buyi's room door and knocked twice.

Bai Buyi came out and asked, "What's up, team leader?"

"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask, since Ziqiang and I go to school, how do you guys solve the lunch issue?"

"Oh, that's all done by me."

"Every time I study the exotic beast's body structure, there's always a lot of edible parts left, and I've been getting by like this for years."

"Oh."

Lu Lin intended to say that was fine, but then he realized something.

It seemed like he never saw Bai Buyi bringing any exotic beasts home for experiments.

Seeing Lu Lin's confusion, Bai Buyi smiled and said, "The exotic beasts I experiment on are all ones I summon myself."

Lu Lin understood.

He looked deeply at Bai Buyi.

This guy is ruthless.

As a summoner, he summons exotic beasts just for research, and after finishing the research, he eats the summoned exotic beasts too.

From production, to development, to sale, everything in one line, without a single bit of waste.

Truly speechless jpg.

Lu Lin closed the room door and went to school with Zhou Ziqiang.

In the morning, Lei Ming was still lecturing them about attack angles.

However, today's lesson was different from before.

They needed to calculate more things.

Today's course—"Calculating the Optimal Attack Angle While Moving Fast."

Lei Ming lectured for two hours, and even Lu Lin had trouble understanding.

Seeing this, Lei Ming decided to continue this course tomorrow.

Martial artist cultivation is not for theoretical research, but for better combat against the enemy.

Learning theoretical courses is for better serving combat.

"Alright, class dismissed, we'll continue training at the Performance Martial Arena this afternoon."

The ten people in class didn't react at all.

Why, they had all prepared to pay attention to today's lecture.

Only to find they couldn't understand a thing.

Lu Lin was equally confused.

Unsure if it was his own ability problem, or if it was Lei Ming's teaching at fault.

While eating lunch, Lu Lin studied the course on combat attack angles while eating, checking a lot of related materials online.

After eating, Lu Lin went to the library, flipping through books inside.

Most books have become digital now, and only in places like libraries can you see paper books.

When the alarm rang, Lu Lin put down the book and rushed to the Performance Martial Arena.

From this morning's study, Lu Lin had learned a little, but not much.

He felt like a small fish swimming in a large pond, unable to see the whole view of the pond.

When Lu Lin arrived, Lei Ming also entered the Performance Martial Arena, but he wasn't alone.

Beside Lei Ming was a man with a strong scholarly aura.

"Classmates, this is Vice Principal Yang Jun of our Iron Blood College, Principal Yang."

"In the course of calculating attack angles during combat, he's one of the top experts in our federation, and later he will answer all your questions."

"Everyone, let's welcome Principal Yang."

Applause sounded.

"No need, Teacher Lei praises me too much, I only have some research in this course to share with everyone, so we can improve together."

Yang Jun spoke gently and slowly, with a smile that made everyone feel comfortable like a spring breeze.

But when it came to actual teaching, Yang Jun showed his obsessive and serious side.

The first ten minutes were taught by Lei Ming, with Yang Jun watching on the side.

But watching for a bit, Yang Jun couldn't hold back.

"Teacher Lei, when facing an opponent's leg attack, we should do this... "

"No, no, Teacher Lei, your understanding is a bit off, in this situation we should... "

"Well, Student Hang Jianshe did very well, this move hit Lu Lin in an uncomfortable spot... "

"Incredible, Lu Lin was still able to evade this way, Student Lu Lin, did you specifically study footwork Star Martial."

Lu Lin nodded, wiping the sweat faintly forming on his forehead.

With Yang Jun joining, their learning progress clearly sped up a lot.

At first, after hearing Yang Jun's explanation, Lei Ming felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Unlike Wang Jianfang, who was a native of Iron Blood University, Yang Jun was parachuted into Iron Blood University as Vice Principal three years ago.

Many people suspected that he wouldn't stay here for long before returning to work at the federation headquarters, so their feelings towards him were somewhat... It might be an exaggeration to say they didn't like him, but there was definitely a lack of warmth and familiarity.

But after Yang Jun took over the teaching for half an hour, Lei Ming, like Lu Lin and the others, stood quietly listening to the lecture and taking notes, looking every bit the diligent student.

With Yang Jun's unreserved guidance and teaching, Lu Lin gained a comprehensive understanding of the course.

When engaging in physical confrontations with Hang Jianshe, he occasionally had flashes of inspiration, attacking while evading.

This earned Yang Jun's continuous praise.

To Lu Lin and the others, the two-hour session felt like only two minutes had passed.

When the bell rang for the end of class, they were reluctant to leave and wanted Yang Jun to extend the session a little longer.

"I appreciate your acknowledgment, but I have something to attend to now,"

Yang Jun smiled at Lu Lin and the others' reluctant expressions.

"Alright, since everyone wants to learn a bit more, I'll have Lei Ming notify everyone to gather here again once I'm done."

"Okay, thank you, Principal Yang."

"Principal Yang, you're awesome. I'll grab something to eat and then wait."

"Principal Yang, we're not leaving, waiting for you!"

"The blue skies await the smoke and rain, we are waiting for you."

The students chimed in one after another.

In those two hours earlier, they realized that though Principal Yang is a ninth-level master, he is absolutely down-to-earth and approachable, nurturing and amiable.

"Alright, alright, alright, everyone is free to manage their time, Lu Lin, come here for a moment."

Lu Lin obediently followed Yang Jun out of the Performance Martial Arena.

He knew why Yang Jun called him out alone.

But it was a bit sudden.

Lu Lin originally planned to find someone to guide his Star Skills after school today, then assist both Yang Jun and Ma Xingkong.

Otherwise, he would miss another opportunity to comprehend Star Skills.

Just as Lu Lin was figuring out how to decline, Yang Jun suddenly said: "Lu Lin, you haven't comprehended a Star Skill since advancing to the Third Level, have you?"

"Why don't I guide you?"

Hmm?

Lu Lin wondered what was going on.

Was Yang Jun also a Star Guide?

"Yes, I'm also a Star Guide, and at a Master-level no less. How about letting me guide you?"

"Alright."

Lu Lin readily agreed.

This way, he wouldn't have to make a trip to the Star Guide Association.

Lu Lin didn't want to maintain too much contact with Guan Yue unnecessarily.

Clearly, he had no such intention, so it was better not to provoke further interaction.

"Come, let me take you to my place."

Yang Jun lifted Lu Lin by the collar, ascending into the air.

Letting him experience the feeling of being an "airborne flyer" once more.

Yang Jun's home was within Iron Blood University, not too far from Luse Alliance College.

He also had a room specifically designed as a Cultivation Room at his home. As soon as Lu Lin stepped in, he was almost pushed back by the dense Star Power.

No exaggeration, but it was the densest Star Power he had ever witnessed.

"Haha, my Cultivation Room is specially designed as a one-to-one replica of the Exotic Battlefield, so the Star Power naturally is denser."

Seeing Lu Lin's exaggerated reaction, Yang Jun smiled and accompanied him inside.

"Lu Lin, you are an Earth Element warrior, right? So, what type of Star Skill do you want to comprehend?"

"I'm a Star Guide of the Designated School, just say the word."

Yang Jun said magnanimously.

It stirred something inside Lu Lin.

He used to think that Earth Element warriors were mainly about protecting their teammates.

Those who, wielding large shields, were strong enough to withstand exotic beasts, allowing their teammates to attack.

But later, he heard a saying.

Such a method of protecting comrades is too passive.

A truly proactive Earth Warrior should actively protect teammates.

As long as you can kill all the enemies, exotic beasts, and alien races, wouldn't your comrades be safe?

Earlier this week, when tasked with blocking Mi Yan and the others, Lu Lin agreed more with this statement.

As long as you can eliminate the enemy fast enough, the enemy can't threaten your teammates.

Currently, he had six Earth-based Star Skills.

Stone Skin, Wearing Armor, and Holding Shield were defensive.

Earth Shattering was offensive.

On the support side, he had two: Swamp and War Cry.

Relatively speaking, his offensive capabilities were still lacking.

"Principal Yang, I want to comprehend an offensive Star Skill."

"Oh? Why?"

Yang Jun was a bit curious.

As an Earth Warrior, the conventional growth approach would be to focus on studying defensive, resistance, and damage-reducing Star Skills.

If not, they might choose supportive Star Skills like healing and recovery.

Why would Lu Lin have such an idea?

"Because I believe that even though the duty of an Earth Warrior is to protect teammates, there can be other ways to protect them."

"For example, by killing all enemies."

"This..."

Lu Lin's answer made Yang Jun smile wryly.

It was unexpected to hear yet another phrase from the internet.

As a Master-level Star Guide, he naturally had guided many warriors' Star Skill comprehension.

Many Earth Attribute warriors had similar thoughts, thinking if they were strong enough to defeat all enemies, they could better protect their teammates.

But in reality, it was not so.
