NOVEL NEXT Chapter 228: Two Star Skills, Three Star Skills
Inside the Cultivation Room.
Lu Lin didn't have as many worries as Lv Susu; I just looked at Zhu Henian with a bit of envy.
This Little Medical Fairy, life has been smooth sailing for him.
Though not as fortunate as Yang Jun, his life has not encountered any setbacks.
He awakened during school, activating his Light Element talent.
His cultivation went smoothly, passing both the Third to Fourth Level and Sixth to Seventh Level bottlenecks with ease.
His research was professional, specializing in medical topics, with his published papers receiving wide acclaim.
His work was harmonious, his laboratory supervisor appreciated him, and colleagues in the Light Element were harmonious.
Life was satisfying; buying a car, a house, marrying, and having children posed no significant troubles; his wife and children were gentle, understanding, and supported his work.
Just like that, from student years, he progressed to his current management position at Leakless Cottage, though his qualifications alone were not sufficient for a speaking role.
Fortunately, Zhu Henian had a good master.
Magic Hand King, Chen Danqing.
After being promoted to a Titled King, Chen Danqing retained duties at Leakless Cottage; Zhu Henian always assisted him, handling some tasks within Leakless Cottage, over time maintaining good relationships with numerous Level 9 Martial Artists there.
When the time came, everyone nominated Zhu Henian to succeed Chen Danqing's duties, becoming one of the five spokespeople.
Such a life made Lu Lin sigh with admiration.
Compared to Yang Jun's great fortune, luck like finding hundreds of thousands when shopping for groceries, Zhu Henian's life seems ordinary, but it is something countless Federation people envy from the bottom of their hearts.
Now, he manages six hospitals simultaneously on an alien planet, resolving some difficult and rare conditions with ease.
Federation Medical Association, Federation Martial Artist Association, Federation Light Warrior Exchange Forum... Zhu Henian holds positions within them.
Lu Lin asked him to recall his most memorable and unforgettable moments in life, taking Zhu Henian quite a while.
Finally, he recalled a scene from his student days when everyone queued together for awakening.
Equally ordinary.
Yet from this, Zhu Henian still comprehended suitable Star Skills and got promoted to Titled King.
Over Food God City.
Zhu Henian was radiating white light all over.
His thirty-six different models of surgical knives danced and entwined around him like butterflies in a garden.
He didn't make any promotional remarks; after the surgical knives danced skyward, they then fell into his hands.
Zhu Henian slowly descended from the sky, accepting everyone's congratulations.
So smooth.
It hasn't even been fifty years since Zhu Henian reached Ninth-Level Peak, making this level young within Leakless Cottage.
Being so young and promoted to a Titled King makes him even more enviable.
But when they thought they could soon progress as well, their spirits eased considerably.
In the Cultivation Room, Lu Lin watched Xing Fang and Zhu Henian's Star Skills.
[Star Skill: Soul Infusion]
[Description: Infuse a soul into bones, retaining awareness, memory, experience, and emotions from life]
[Note: Reanimate the deceased, you are akin to the Creator]
[Star Skill: Doppelganger]
[Description: Create another self with equal strength, independent thinking, dual-core processing]
[Note: During surgery, having someone who understands you as your assistant, how beautiful life is]
Xing Fang's Soul Infusion feels like an upgraded version of Extraction Star Skill.
In this way, after extracting the opponent's soul, she can infuse it into the knight she summoned.
As long as there is sufficient Star Power, she can create a team with soul, thought, and absolute control.
Even.
Lu Lin thought that this Star Skill could infuse the spirits of close comrades and family who have passed into summoned knights.
Isn't that a different way to extend life?
Zhu Henian's Star Skill Doppelganger, previously when Lu Lin saw the Qingmu Clan's Qing Yu execute in Hang Tang City.
Though that doppelganger only had the form, without thought or emotion.
Zhu Henian's doppelganger is a true duplicate.
Before, for Three Talents Wilderness Team's Gao Feng, Lu Lin guided a similar Star Skill.
One Qi Transforms Three Purities.
Though this Star Skill is limited, resulting in a summon only lasting 30 minutes.
It's likely enough to resolve fights, but it's clearly insufficient for long-term presence.
Zhu Henian's doppelganger equals recreating oneself.
After reviewing their Star Skills, Lu Lin closed the Star Power Domain.
At this point, both of his Star Veins were refined.
The next moment might see him promoted.
However, Lu Lin realized that during the Fourth Level, he hadn't yet comprehended any Star Skills.
Before this was mentioned, now being in Food God City demands quick resolution of this issue.
Yes.
Vice Principal Yang Jun and President Wan Shushan are outside, Lu Lin's heart warmed.
This time, Lu Lin wanted the federation's top Star Guide, President Wan Shushan, to help guide his Star Skill.
May he comprehend what he desires.
Before in Hang Tang City, Lu Lin felt he needed a Star Skill capable of burrowing underground.
Commonly known, as Ground Evasion.
He possesses this Star Skill but for some reason couldn't guide himself through Earth-based Star Skills.
Leaving the Cultivation Room, Lu Lin saw everyone around Xing Fang and Zhu Henian celebrating.
He approached Wan Shushan, "President Wan, come over, I need your help with something."
President Wan readily agreed, joining Lu Lin in entering the Cultivation Room.
"Lu Lin, if you need any help, just say the word. Don't stand on ceremony with me."
President Wan Shushan smiled warmly.
Lu Lin helped three Level-9 Martial Artists advance to the King's Realm in one day. Afterwards, if Wan Shushan wants to ascend, would that even be an issue?
Not to mention, Lu Lin himself is part of the Star Guide Association.
Wan Shushan was already planning to upgrade Lu Lin's Star Guide level.
Intermediate?
That's not enough, it should at least be Advanced.
As for Master Level, Wan Shushan worried that promoting Lu Lin too high might draw attention from the Alien Race or exotic beasts.
Anyone who can help Level-9 Martial Artists advance possesses a capability that the Alien Race and exotic beasts would scratch tooth and nail to acquire.
If they cannot acquire it, they will ensure humans can't either.
Thus, even though Lu Lin had cursed out three Star Generals in one breath, it's clear that this matter had nothing to do with him.
If he were to promote Lu Lin to a Master-level Star Guide, it would actually attract attention.
"Chairman Wan, can you guide me in executing a Star Skill?"
"Alright."
Wan Shushan agreed readily.
Lu Lin explained his needs, and Wan Shushan nodded in understanding before guiding Lu Lin into Wan's Star Power Domain.
While guiding Lu Lin's spiritual body, Wan Shushan felt... a bit strained.
Lu Lin, despite being a Level 3 peak Star Core Warrior, possesses spiritual strength akin to an eighth, even newly ninth-level Martial Artist.
Wan Shushan's Star Power Domain is akin to a starry sky.
Within the Star Power Domain, Lu Lin, like a Titled King, could leap and fly between planets.
Amidst play, Lu Lin suddenly felt inspiration.
He first successfully comprehended his Eye-based Star Skill.
But that wasn't the main goal; Lu Lin aimed to comprehend his Earth-based Star Skill.
Ideally, it would be Earthly Escape.
Outside the Star Power Domain, Wan Shushan sharply sensed a ripple of energy on Lu Lin's spiritual body.
The ripple was incredibly weak, something other Star Guides wouldn't detect at all.
But soon, another ripple emerged from Lu Lin.
Wan Shushan relaxed; it seems Lu Lin comprehended two Star Skills.
To grasp Double Star Skills at Level 3 is beyond what a 0.78% initial refining degree can achieve.
Human bodies contain secrets that no instrument or device can reveal.
Contemplating this, Wan Shushan withdrew from the Star Power Domain.
In the Cultivation Room, Lu Lin returned to his Consciousness Universe.
Looking at the two Earth-based Star Skills he comprehended, he wondered whether to feel exasperated.
He didn't grasp Earthly Escape.
But the skill he did comprehend was even more impressive.
[Star Skill: Control (Small)]
[Description: You are an Earth Element master, though still in growth phase (Innate Ability)]
[Note: Future potential, limitless]
[Star Skill: Landslide]
[Description: One punch, mountains collapse, earth tears, corridors, skies fall (Active Skill)]
[Note: It's said you can remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapses before you. Try my punch]
[Star Skill: Discernment]
[Description: Truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness, everything you discern at a glance (Active Skill)]
[Note: I possess a pair of golden eyes]
Wan Shushan was indeed worthy of being a Federal-level Star Guide; the Star Skills he guided Lu Lin to comprehend are extraordinarily unique.
Control allows Lu Lin to partially tap into a segment of Earth-based Star Power Factor.
Though it wasn't the Earthly Escape he anticipated, achieving the effect of Earthly Escape posed no challenge.
Just uncertain if he can transform earth and stones into diamonds.
After all, at their core, they're all carbon elements.
Landslide is a powerful offensive skill, addressing the weakness Lu Lin had with his previously potent but not overwhelmingly strong offensive Star Skills.
Currently in Food God City, Lu Lin wasn't inclined to test it.
He decided to leave it for later.
However, the Eye-based Star Skill puzzled Lu Lin slightly.
Discernment?
Is it that there's a thought he doesn't have enough secondary professions as a Star Guide and is expected to explore the jeweler's trade?
But after reviewing its description, Lu Lin realized how remarkable this Discernment Star Skill is.
It can directly distinguish a person's virtue and vice, truth and deception.
Meaning, in the future, he'll be able to tell if someone harbors hostility with just a glance.
In situations similar to what happened with Zhou Xing, Li Ran, and Yang Daozhen, Lu Lin won't need reminders from the Tian Dayin sisters.
Impressive.
Exiting the Consciousness Universe, Lu Lin expressed numerous thanks to Wan Shushan.
"However, Chairman Wan, might I trouble you to wait a moment, I might need another round of Star Skill guidance."
"Hmm?"
"So you're at the Level 3 Peak ready to push to Level 4?"
Wan Shushan quickly said, "Lu Lin, don't be in a rush, the process of Transforming Five Evils is dangerous, the cultivation conditions here in Food God City can't compare to your Iron Blood College."
"You might want to wait, return to Iron Blood College for the promotion."
Lu Lin shook his head and said, "It's not that, I'm reaching my limit."
