Chapter 247: No Way to Heaven, No Door to Earth
Consumption.
Lu Lin knew that in the face of the current surge of mental power, he had to start consuming quickly.
Otherwise, if time dragged on, even his own mental power might collapse.
Fortunately, he had learned a Mental Power Secret Skill—"Stab."
He had never stored it before, but now was the opportunity.
One.
Two.
Five.
Ten.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Lin had created more than 20 stabs.
However, mental power was still continuously being channeled into Lu Lin from Rui Ge's mind.
Lu Lin felt like he couldn't hold on any longer.
Suddenly.
At this moment, Lu Lin heard a soft pop.
"Pop."
It was as if a bubble had burst, and Lu Lin felt the entire Star Power Domain was different.
If previously his Star Power Domain was like a movie being shown on screen, something visible and tangible but not very real.
But now.
Lu Lin felt as if his Star Power Domain had stepped out of the movie.
As if the people in the movie appeared in front of him, real.
That sense of reality.
Made Lu Lin suspect that his Star Power Domain could project directly into the real world.
"You, Lu Lin, you..."
Rui Ge, in the Star Power Domain, was the first to realize something was wrong.
Before, Lu Lin's use of mental power was like a rope tied to him, pulling hard.
Now, Lu Lin's pull on him was not just a simple rope tied to him.
It was as if countless invisible steel cables were drawn to every part of his mental body.
In the distance, it wasn't just Lu Lin pulling; it seemed like countless high-power electric winches were dragging him.
With hardly any effort, Rui Ge was pulled into Lu Lin's Star Power Domain.
He struggled, he resisted.
But to no avail.
"Trap."
As soon as Rui Ge entered the Star Power Domain, Lu Lin released numerous trapping Star Skills, binding Rui Ge within, and then Lu Lin withdrew from the Consciousness Universe and opened his eyes.
He wasn't sure why, but he had a feeling that once Rui Ge was trapped, there would be no way for him to escape.
What concerned Lu Lin the most now was the situation outside.
When he entered the Consciousness Universe earlier, he had asked Mr. Huang to help deal with those Alien Race Ninth-Level experts, and he wasn't sure how things were going now.
Opening his eyes.
Lu Lin felt like a newborn baby, curiously looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar world.
In the air, countless Star Power Factors floated and wandered.
Not far away, from the bodies of Mr. Huang and Bai Lang and Bai Hu, fierce attacks emanated in waves.
Lu Lin could even see the interaction between the Star Power Factors and their skin and fur, resulting in a surge of energy.
In Mingli Academy, members of the Jinchao Pioneering Team, their Star Power as fierce as dragons and tigers.
Especially Wang Ming and Chen Yuqiong, these two martial artists who had reached the seventh level, Lu Lin could see a layer of film on their bodies.
This golden film warded off harmful gases and substances from outside while minimizing the loss of life force and Star Power within.
Golden Body Realm.
It was not just about reshaping the body and bones, boosting a martial artist's strength.
It also helped martial artists resist and protect.
In the three phases of Star Core Warriors from Seventh to Ninth level, the Seventh-Level Golden Body Realm allowed martial artists to unconsciously begin to resist external harm, and the Level 8 Breakthrough Illusion Realm enabled martial artists to perceive external dangers.
Ninth-level flawlessness.
A world formed within the martial artist's body, with Star Power circulating, and the loss of life force was negligible.
Though not as advanced as the inner universe cultivated in the Titled King stage, a Level 9 martial artist's life force was incredibly strong, allowing them to live for a thousand years with ease.
Lu Lin saw various Alien Race Ninth-Level Star Soldiers lying all over the ground in horrific shapes. It seemed Elder Huang was indeed formidable, resolving the crisis for Lu Lin in such a short time.
"Elder Huang, thank you so much."
Lu Lin looked up to express his gratitude.
At this moment, Rui Ge's body was still floating aimlessly in the air, and Mr. Huang, along with Bai Lang and Bai Hu, were doing their best to attack.
"Meow."
Well, Lu Lin, it's okay, your...
Mental power... mental power...
Mr. Huang was either too shocked to speak or deliberately didn't mention it.
Looking at Lu Lin, his eyes were filled with awe.
How is this possible!
"Just a minor breakthrough."
Lu Lin smiled slightly, pointing at Rui Ge and asked, "What's going on with him."
Mr. Huang explained to him, and only then did Lu Lin understand the strength of the wind physique.
No need to control evasion, facing any attack, evasion could occur directly.
It seemed more powerful than his own evasion.
Lu Lin's Evasion Star Skill required his eyes to capture the opponent's attack to evade.
If he couldn't see it, then Lu Lin's Evasion Star Skill would be ineffective.
"Elder Huang, there's no need to attack him, as his mental body has already been sealed by me."
"Let's keep his body floating in the air, it could serve as a landmark building for us in Chongnuo City in the future."
Lu Lin spoke with a relaxed tone.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang descended from the air.
Lu Lin curiously looked at Bai Hu and Bai Lang in the sky, wondering who had summoned these exotic beasts.
With his perception, these two seemed even more powerful than Elder Huang.
But Elder Huang was already at Ninth-Level Peak.
These two exotic beasts couldn't possibly be demon beasts, could they?
At Mingli Academy, Xiao Ru saw Lu Lin safely awake, and despite attempts to stop her, she tried to rush over.
Luckily, Han Fei grabbed her, "Xiao Ru, it's still dangerous over there."
Xiao Ru, unable to break free, shouted at Lu Lin, "Lu Lin brother, are you okay."
Lu Lin turned to smile at Xiao Ru, "I'm fine, oh Xiao Ru, you're wearing the Ice and Snow Queen outfit I bought for you."
"How beautiful."
Hearing Lu Lin praise her, Xiao Ru's heart burst with joy.
"Hehe."
"Xiao Bai, Da Bai, come back, Lu Lin brother is fine now."
"Roar."
"Awwooo."
Bai Lang and Bai Hu responded together with a nod of reluctant heads, then ran toward Xiao Ru.
With each step they took, their bodies shrank slightly.
They kept shrinking until they were only as small as ordinary cats and dogs, and then they approached Xiao Ru.
Xiao Ru affectionately patted their heads, a smile gracing her face.
She was smiling.
But for Lu Lin, who was seeing this scene for the first time, he couldn't remain calm.
Those two demon beasts, whose strength seemed to have reached the level of a Titled King, turned out to be the pets Xiao Ru summoned from the Black Hole?
Back at No. 11 Keming Street, Lu Lin had played with them quite a bit.
He even arranged the food he gave them in a circle or heart shape.
So... the "pet cat" and "pet dog" he'd been teasing for a long time turned out to be demon beasts?
He really was bold.
Lu Lin was secretly amazed as he walked towards the Mingli Academy to look at Wang Ming and others. "Captain Wang, thank you truly for your trouble this time."
"No problem, no problem, it's you..."
"It's only been such a short time since we last met, and you can already confront Level 9 experts head-on."
Wang Ming said with a face full of emotion.
Saying Lu Lin confronted a Level 9 expert might be a bit exaggerated, but managing to escape amidst the assaults of several Level 9 attackers already spoke of Lu Lin's strength.
Earlier, if it weren't for Rui Ge threatening with the members of Jinchao and the students of Mingli, Wang Ming believed Lu Lin wouldn't have been found.
Moreover, after Lu Lin single-handedly drove away those Alien Star Soldiers, he also single-handedly killed a Level 7 strong alien race fighter.
That Tong Yu's strength was far superior to Wang Ming's.
"Fortunately, I was just exploiting loopholes."
Lu Lin knew his own strength.
Before having the Spirit Jade, being able to imprison so many Level 9 experts was already a fluke.
If facing the Martial Artists of the Human Federation, imprisoning three or four Level 9 individuals would be impressive since the alien races and exotic beasts were much less proficient in spiritual strength research compared to humans.
Faced with Lu Lin's words, Wang Ming didn't know what to say.
He's already moved up to the Seventh Level, but he's just slightly stronger than ordinary Sixth Level.
If it's one-on-one, he might be alright, but with more people involved, even a newly promoted Seventh Level could be surrounded and killed by the Sixth Level.
"Brother Lu Lin, be careful!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ru exclaimed.
Lu Lin instinctively dodged away.
Wang Ming was only a beat slower.
After Lu Lin backed away, Wang Ming also quickly evaded.
"Boom."
A huge roar rang out.
Everyone present felt dizzy.
"Yu Long!"
"How dare you!"
From the sky, came Lv Susu's angry voice.
Lu Lin looked up and saw Lv Susu battling a Star General of the Yanliu Clan.
This Yu Long Star General looked much like those ancient generals.
He was broad enough on the shoulders for a horse to run on, and his hands could hold a man standing.
His muscles were knotted all over, and his hair had turned into the Willow Branch State.
He appeared frenzied, furious, extravagant, terrifying.
In stark contrast to him was Lv Susu.
Lv Susu, dressed in her Daoist robe, resembled the princess from Beauty and the Beast.
Petite, charming.
Despite the significant difference in stature, the power of their attacks seemed evenly matched.
No, they were not evenly matched.
Lu Lin's spiritual strength allowed him to see clearly, that when Lv Susu attacked, the gathered Star Power Factor was far less than that of Yu Long Star General.
On the surface, they looked similar, but for masters in combat.
Every bit of difference is substantial.
"Hahaha."
Yu Long Star General laughed frenziedly without responding to Lv Susu, continuing to fend off her attacks.
Earlier, while openly fighting Lv Susu, he had already moved the battle zone to the air above Lu Lin and others.
Taking advantage of Lv Susu's distraction, Yu Long shot a willow branch-like strand of hair towards the ground to attack Lu Lin.
This was the second plan of the alien race's operation.
If they couldn't capture Lu Lin, then they'd kill him.
A simple plan.
Moreover, Yu Long Star General targeted only Lu Lin.
Even if the Human Federation discovered Drumming and Ming Jin, since it caused no large-scale damage, Drumming and Ming Jin would not pay much attention, at most demanding some compensation from the alien race, like money or resources.
Lv Susu was outraged by this.
"Lu Lin, you all should leave here quickly."
Lv Susu transmitted.
Lu Lin nodded, collecting several fairly intact alien race Level 9 corpses into his Storage Ring, preparing to hide underground for a while.
"Trying to leave?"
Yu Long Star General sneered slightly.
Lu Lin might evade those Level 9 Star Soldier probes, but obstructing a Star General's probing, how is that possible.
He had just taken three steps.
Another willow branch descended from the sky.
"Boom."
Another loud noise.
A building directly in front of Lu Lin exploded and was destroyed.
Luckily, no humans were inside, giving Lu Lin a scare.
"Lv Susu, you watch, Lu Lin can't escape."
Yu Long was wanton and arrogant, conceited.
Lv Susu was secretly resentful.
But there was nothing she could do.
She was not like Liu Han, a combat-type Titled King, being able to contend with Yu Long for this long was already challenging.
Even outsiders felt she was evenly matched with Yu Long.
But in reality, Lv Susu knew she was merely enduring.
Yu Long Star General could attack Lu Lin straight away without needing to repel Lv Susu.
"Lu Lin, run quickly."
Lv Susu no longer transmitted but sent a message to Lu Lin via the personal terminal.
But Lu Lin was feeling helpless.
He couldn't run at all.
Every willow branch Yu Long shot was evaded by Lu Lin, but that was the extent of it.
Attempting to escape, it was simply impossible.
No road to heaven, no door to earth.
Lu Lin was confined by Yu Long Star General in a small area.
Completely unable to break free.
