Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

"Huff—huff—"

Lu Lin kept panting heavily.

His hands resting on his knees.

If he didn't support himself this way, Lu Lin suspected he might collapse to the ground.

Yu Long was indeed worthy of the title Master of Saber Method.

In this over an hour, Lu Lin had several opportunities to rush forward and slay him.

But in the end, they were all easily defused by Yu Long.

If it wasn't for seeing Yu Long's breathless appearance, Lu Lin would have thought he really set a trap on purpose for Lu Lin.

However.

It must be admitted that Yu Long's saber technique was indeed the most formidable Lu Lin had ever seen.

A Mountain Breaking Blade, wielded in his hand as if it were an extension of his own arm.

As effortless as directing one's own limb, no more no less.

On the other hand, Yu Long was also out of breath.

In fact, he was slightly worse off than Lu Lin.

In order to counter Lu Lin's terrifying strength, Yu Long had to be extremely careful with every strike, cautious upon cautious.

Afraid that any gap would let Lu Lin injure him.

He kept blaming The God of Black Shark and other deities in his heart.

This Lu Lin was simply a monster.

With speed and agility so fast, Yu Long couldn't catch him at all.

Only when Lu Lin moved forward to attack, could he barely counter with a move or two.

But as long as Lu Lin wanted to escape, Yu Long didn't stand a chance.

After this hour-long fight, Lu Lin was only physically exhausted, whereas Yu Long was already mentally and physically drained.

"Lu Lin."

"You are quite impressive, how about becoming my disciple?"

Yu Long genuinely meant this.

Lu Lin's Knife Way Talent was simply astonishing.

If he were Yu Long's disciple, Yu Long would even be willing to give up fighting against humans and find a neutral area to patiently teach him.

At the start, Yu Long was always on the upper hand.

But as Lu Lin frequently attacked and became familiar with Yu Long's Chaotic Wind Blade and Heavenly Saber Art.

Lu Lin could seize some of Yu Long's flaws to attack.

Such talent, in Yu Long's eyes, would be wasted in the Human Federation.

He was born for the saber.

"Be your disciple?"

"Wake up, it's not even dark yet."

Lu Lin said, calming his breath.

Becoming Yu Long's disciple would be no different than betraying the Human Federation.

He could never do such a thing.

Between humans and the alien race, either one is destroyed or one submits.

There's no third possibility.

"You really don't want to?"

"Your Knife Way Talent is unparalleled in my lifetime, far better than any of my disciples."

"Rest assured, after becoming my disciple, I won't require you to fight against the Human Federation."

"How about now? If you agree, bow to formally become my apprentice and I'll fully impart to you the Heavenly Saber Art and Chaotic Wind Blade."

"Moreover, once you reach the Star General Level, I..."

As Yu Long spoke, his figure suddenly flickered.

Lu Lin instinctively took a defensive stance.

But then he realized.

Yu Long's target was not him.

It was the always sleepy Xiao Ru.

"Xiao Ru!"

Lu Lin only had time to shout, warning Xiao Ru.

But it was too late.

Yu Long leaped forward, over the white animals "protecting" Xiao Ru, reaching out to grasp down.

"Roar!"

The white Xiao Bai surrounding Xiao Ru roared loudly, leaping up from the ground nimbly, and bit into Yu Long's left hand.

"Ah—"

Yu Long yelled as he plunged straight towards the ground with Xiao Bai.

Fighting Lu Lin for half the day, he finally spotted a chance.

In the end, despite all his calculations, he forgot one thing.

Right now, his Star Power Level was only First level.

He couldn't fly.

Couldn't teleport.

With most of his strength already spent battling Lu Lin.

At this moment, facing Xiao Bai's bite, Yu Long had no way to resist.

"Bang."

Yu Long landed heavily on the ground.

Kicking up a cloud of white dust.

Xiao Ru, dazed, turned to look at him, then turned to Lu Lin.

"Brother Lu Lin, did you beat him?"

Lu Lin smiled wryly and shook his head.

Xiao Ru is really carefree.

Ever since Yu Long was dragged out, she had been quietly watching their battle.

Initially, she was a bit nervous, knowing that Yu Long was far more formidable than Lu Lin.

But when she saw Yu Long unable to defeat Lu Lin, she became assured.

After watching for a while.

Lu Lin and Yu Long fought with intense fervor, leaping and attacking, back and forth, until Xiao Ru got drowsy.

"Xiao Ru, can you have Xiao Bai and the others kill this guy?"

Lu Lin's heart stirred as he spoke.

He had been too focused on fighting Yu Long, almost forgetting that the animals protecting Xiao Ru were not simple at all.

"No."

"Brother Lu Lin, Xiao Bai says they were all dyed white and left here by an uncle because they made mistakes."

"That uncle said, as long as he's alive, Xiao Bai and the others can't kill humans."

"Oh?"

Lu Lin was momentarily stunned.

He distinctly remembered that when he dragged Rui Ge and the others into his Star Power Domain earlier, Bai Hu and Bai Lang, along with Mr. Huang, had taken down quite a few Alien Ninth-Level Powerhouses.

Why did Xiao Ru say they couldn't kill anyone?

Besides, they were just aliens, not really people.

"Brother Lu Lin, just now when they were outside, they only took advantage because that uncle wasn't around. That's why they only seriously injured those bad guys without taking their lives."

"Now that they're in the uncle's manor, they truly wouldn't dare."

Xiao Ru explained.

The little white animals next to them were nodding repeatedly, afraid that Lu Lin wouldn't believe it, after Xiao Ru finished speaking.

"Uh, is that so?"

Lu Lin was helpless.

If he had to rely on himself to defeat Yu Long, it would undoubtedly take a long time.

From today's battle, Lu Lin felt he could only manage to tie with Yu Long, and fighting to a draw was already pretty good.

After all, he had only been cultivating for three short months, while the opponent was a veteran powerhouse who had been in the Star General Realm for over a century.

"Alright then, just throw him aside and let your animal friends keep an eye on him."

"That's no problem."

Xiao Ru smiled sweetly, bent down to instruct Xiao Bai and the others to take turns watching over Yu Long.

Anyway, in this place, Yu Long couldn't escape nor could he possibly harm any other animals.

After making arrangements, Xiao Bai and the others dragged Yu Long to the back of the manor, to what Xiao Ru referred to as "uncle's" residence, which had specific rooms to prevent animals from leaving.

"Alright, Brother Lu Lin, what should we do now, should we go out?"

Go out?

Lu Lin thought for a moment and decided to stay inside for the time being.

When he entered, he sent a message to Lv Susu, so this wasn't an unannounced departure.

Given that, it was a perfect chance to explore this world with Xiao Ru.

An entirely white world.

After a while, when Xiao Ru said she was hungry, Lu Lin took out Exotic Beast meat he had hunted and collected in the Exotic Battlefield from his Storage Ring, and grilled it to eat with Xiao Ru.

This was almost the only meal Lu Lin could prepare.

Regarding water, Lu Lin tasted the milk-like liquid from the pond and found it not much different from ordinary water.

Since the animals could drink it, so could he and Xiao Ru.

After eating and drinking their fill, Lu Lin lay on the white grass, leisurely watching the sky above.

This should be the only different color in this world.

"Brother Lu Lin, how about we go take a look at that uncle's manor."

Xiao Ru suggested excitedly.

In fact, she had had this idea even before they ate barbecue just now.

Lu Lin was the one who mentioned worries about dirtying other people's spaces, so Xiao Ru held back until now.

"Alright, let's go have a look."

Lu Lin was quite interested in exploring this pure white world.

There were many white animals here, but there seemed to be no traces of humans or other intelligent life.

It seemed like the owner of the manor hadn't lived here for a long time.

This manor was very large, from the outside Lu Lin could see it was no smaller than four football fields.

Next to the white picket gate, there were characters from the ancient period of aliens.

[Unknown]

Lu Lin could only recognize that it was writing, but having less than a month and a half's time, he hadn't had much time to learn the ancient alien script.

Instead, Xiao Ru tilted her head: "Unnamed Manor, No. 323?"

"Brother Lu Lin, there aren't any other buildings here, so why did the uncle write the numbers?"

Lu Lin was shocked when he heard the words "Unnamed."

Unnamed Manor?

How is it related to "Unnamed"?

Ever since he bought Chen Buming's "Ten Steps to Chop" upon returning to Saturn, Lu Lin seemed to have an inexplicable connection to the word "Unnamed."

In the Exotic Battlefield, by using the Unnamed Mask he stole from the Hangtang Treasure Vault, he transformed into a Cat Tribe girl to slip away from Hangtang City unnoticed.

Now, there was this place called Unnamed Manor.

"Unnamed," these two characters were not very common, Lu Lin had specifically checked before.

The name Chen Buming seemed simple enough, yet among the trillion people in the federation, not a single person had that name.

Even when he searched the search engine, there was no information about Chen Buming at all.

This person surely wasn't a member of the Federation of Humans.

Yet the name was quite reminiscent of the naming style used in Hua Xia.

"Xiao Ru, wait, don't open the door yet."

Lu Lin suddenly remembered that when he put on the Unnamed Mask, he had to endure an owner-recognition test that seemed endless, and even Hangtang Star General only managed to escape it by exhausting spiritual strength.

This Unnamed Manor, being more valuable than the Unnamed Mask, might have some kind of visitor's test or something else.

"Ah, why?"

Xiao Ru's hand had just withdrawn from the door, leaving a gap open.

Lu Lin glanced around, seemingly not seeing any challenge or illusion arriving, and his mind was eased.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking whether we should knock."

Xiao Ru gave him a look as if saying "you think I'm stupid."

She pushed open the gate—it wasn't like entering a room directly, but rather they could immediately see a vast garden.

Inside, the world seemed much more normal.

Green grass and clean, orderly dark gray paths.

Various trees and shrubs for decoration lined the paths.

There were no flowers, nor any animals; only a lawn that looked much larger than a football field.

They had to walk about two hundred meters inside to reach the main gate of the manor.

It was a six-meter-tall red wooden door, with a beast-shaped knocker on it.

The bottom had a high wooden threshold, also painted festive red.

The manor overall had a style reminiscent of a classical Chinese courtyard, yet mixed with some Western furnishings.

Lu Lin and Xiao Ru walked forward about a hundred meters, and suddenly a ... fountain pool rose from what had just been a wide-open ground surface.

A thing like this certainly wouldn't be found in a traditional Chinese courtyard.

This piqued Lu Lin's curiosity about the manor owner's special taste.

Once the fountain rose, it started to spray water automatically.

The central sculpture in the pool, a conventional depiction of a Carp Spouting Gems, looked absolutely ancient.

Lu Lin looked into the pool, finding nothing particularly special, and moved on with Xiao Ru.

Now, he was even more curious about the owner of this manor.

Before, his decision to stay was out of simple curiosity.

But seeing the words Unnamed Manor now, he had made up his mind.

This time, he was determined to find out what "Unnamed" represented.

Moreover, if possible, he wanted to uncover the connection between Chen Buming, Unnamed Manor, and the Unnamed Mask.
