Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

The ten beast cages were isolated from each other.

Lu Lin spent a while with the cliff apes, and after three greetings of hello, all he received in return was the identical retort, "Go to hell."

These guys are really bastards.

Although he didn't manage to communicate with them, Lu Lin didn't come away empty-handed either.

At least, this experiment proved that these spirit beasts are capable of communication.

Since that's the case, Lu Lin is confident that he can conquer these spirit beasts.

Isn't it just about granting each of them a wish?

Lu Lin decided to transform into a grandpa and start by observing them carefully.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles without danger.

To deal with these spirit beasts, it's no different.

Next, Lu Lin didn't bother trying to chat with the other spirit beasts.

He just sat quietly by, starting his observations with the Earth Mother Bear in the first beast cage.

The Earth Mother Bear needed to eat five times a day, consuming about 30 kilograms of meat, 30 kilograms of vegetables and fruits each time, and occasionally some fish.

These items appear in a large basin inside the beast cage at fixed times every day.

In addition, the Earth Mother Bear had a dedicated area for exercise.

Much like the bear mountain in a zoo, it allowed her to crawl, move around, and roar.

From two days of observation, Lu Lin had understood the Earth Mother Bear's wish.

Every roar from her would include the word "husband."

According to Lu Lin's analysis, this was likely her inner wish.

She needed a husband.

Knowing is one thing, but meeting her wish is another matter entirely.

Now in the assessment space, Lu Lin had no way of catching an exotic beast to be her husband.

As for himself, haha.

Lu Lin seriously doubted he could handle it.

First beast cage, temporarily abandoned.

The second beast cage housed the golden-eyed droopy-eared rabbits, and Lu Lin knew they were named as such because their eyes shone with a golden light.

This statement wasn't literal.

It's not that the golden-eyed droopy-eared rabbits emitted golden light from their eyes, that would be too fantastical.

It's because there are treasures wherever the golden-eyed droopy-eared rabbits were found.

Over time, people gave them the nickname Golden Eyes.

As years passed, this title was added to their name, giving them the name golden-eyed droopy-eared rabbit.

The rabbits in Cage No.2 consisted of a rabbit couple with twelve newly born children.

From their daily exchanges, Lu Lin learned that they needed a warm home.

That was relatively simple.

Lu Lin had a tent and sleeping bags in his Storage Ring from his previous trip to the Exotic Battlefield.

After some communication, Lu Lin obtained approval to enter Cage No.2.

He set up the tent and laid out the sleeping bags for the rabbit family, and even thoughtfully taught them how to use the zipper on the sleeping bags.

This way, even if the weather turned cold, they would have good warmth residing in the sleeping bags.

The entire family of the golden-eyed droopy-eared rabbits was very pleased with Lu Lin's actions, thus considering this task accomplished.

Cage No.3 contained a large bone-breaking falcon, about the height of a person and with a wingspan covering at least four lanes of a highway.

This brother falcon had not the worst temper but not the best either.

It simply expressed its wish.

It just wanted to fly outside for a while.

As a king of the skies, being confined for years in a beast cage took a conceivable toll on the bone-breaking falcon's mood.

However, Lu Lin, for the moment, had no way of solving this problem.

He could only helplessly set it aside.

The fourth beast cage contained a pair of majestic sky-flying white horses.

One held, short fur pure white like silk, with stunning manes, and wind power ever entwining their four hooves.

The sky-flying white horses relied on wind power to fly in the sky, they did not grow wings on their bodies.

Their wish wasn't to fly into the sky, but to find a patch of grass on which to run freely.

While their cage had a pasture-like area, it was too small for them to unleash their energy.

Lu Lin was speechless.

This request wasn't high, but just like flying into the sky, he couldn't fulfill it either.

Nevertheless, the horse couple was very friendly, saying that was their sole wish; if Lu Lin could achieve it, he could pass.

If Lu Lin ultimately couldn't fulfill their wish, they would also consider granting him passage.

In other words, no matter what, Cage No.4 was secure.

Lu Lin then approached Cage No.5, which housed a copper-skinned iron-boned ox.

Every time Lu Lin saw it, the ox was basically sleeping.

Occasionally, it would moo twice, saying that it was invincible and that no one in the world could penetrate its defense.

Seeing Lu Lin approaching, the copper-skinned iron-boned ox slightly opened its eyes and said that if Lu Lin could break its defense, he would be allowed to pass.

This was relatively simple for Lu Lin, once communication with the examiner was made to enter the beast cage, Lu Lin first found the weakest point in the ox's defense.

During prior negotiations, the ox also listed several untouchable areas.

The eyes.

Nose and mouth.

Butthole.

The bullwhip.

These places were absolutely not to be attacked.

If Lu Lin assaulted these areas, the ox would never consider him through.

Lu Lin readily agreed.

Ending up in the beast cage, Lu Lin directly activated his guiding star skill.

He searched the copper-skinned iron-boned ox's body for a place where he could break through.

After circling around it once, Lu Lin smiled.

No wonder in the bullfights he had seen, matadors always stabbed the sword into the back of the bull.

If one understood the bull's body well, they would know the places where the matadors stabbed the sword were carefully calculated.

It precisely pierced the bull's heart.

For this, he planned to use the earth-based star skill he grasped at Level Five while practicing refining his five viscera.

"Kid, are you ready?"

"If you break through my defenses, injure me to the point of bleeding, or knock me down, I will consider you passed."

"What's there to keep looking at? Your Grandfather Ox has copper skin and iron bones, with not a single flaw."

"Well, no problem."

Lu Lin smiled, "I've already found your weak point, but what if you default on the promise?"

"And if you die, where will I find someone to fulfill my wish?"

"Die?"

The copper-skinned iron-boned ox sneered, "Let me tell you, even if you kill me, I would still acknowledge defeat at your hands."

"This beast cage may have trapped us, but it also gives us unlimited revival opportunities."

"As long as this Secret Realm exists, we can never truly die."

"Oh, is that so."

"Then let's begin."

"Star Skill."

"Earth Thorn."

Lu Lin smiled and suddenly released his Star Skill.

[Star Skill: Earth Thorn]

[Description: Rises from the ground, attacks while the enemy is completely unprepared (Active Skill)]

[Notes: Sole, pierce through! Chrysanthemum, burst apart!]

This was the only Star Skill Lu Lin comprehended at Level Five, which he realized with Yang Jun while at Iron Blood University.

But when he wanted to comprehend more skills later, he found he couldn't even enter Yang Jun's Star Power Domain.

After reaching Level Six, Lu Lin sought Wan Shusheng's help to guide him to another Star Skill, gaining the exclusive skill for Level Six.

[Star Skill: Earth Collapse]

[Description: Uses Star Power to create a massive pit, burying all enemies (Active Skill)]

[Notes: Goodbye, friend, goodbye, friend]

Lu Lin had never used these two Star Skills since he successfully comprehended them.

He just picked an empty space to experiment, and the effect... was simply amazing.

Before the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox could react, a single Earth Thorn suddenly rose from the ground.

Precision.

Speed.

Force.

Striking the armor over the ox's belly.

"Moo——"

The Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox suddenly let out a miserable cry, its eyes rolled white as it lay on the ground.

From its mouth flowed constant white foam, and its limbs twitched.

It seemed unable to survive.

A moment later, the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox's figure disappeared from the beast cage.

Lu Lin secretly clicked his tongue.

Seems like the attack power of this Earth Thorn was much stronger than he had thought... by quite a bit.

This really was a spirit beast.

Just hearing it sounds like it's a higher level than demon beasts, yet it was killed by a First-level Earth Thorn. The power, simply amazing.

"No way, this round doesn't count."

"I wasn't prepared just now."

The figure of a Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox slowly appeared, turning from virtual to real.

Seeing its dissatisfied look, Lu Lin couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, then you say when to start this time, okay."

"Moo——"

Begin.

The Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox wasted no words, directly allowing Lu Lin to start.

But after waiting for a bit, it didn't see Lu Lin make any move.

"What are you doing, could it be that you're out of Star Power?"

"That move just now must've been a supremely big skill you can only unleash after days, right?"

"Don't take me as a fool. Regarding you humans, I've done some research... Moo——"

As it was speaking, another Earth Thorn appeared below the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox.

This time, like the previous one, it couldn't react at all.

Lifted by the upward force of the Earth Thorn, the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox again foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground,

its figure disappearing.

Its figure reappeared.

"I'm not convinced. You humans always play this trick, catching others off guard. What's so heroic about that?"

"Come on, this time I want to start moving, see if you can attack me again."

Lu Lin looked at the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox's appearance and couldn't help but laugh.

It was the first time seeing such an odd request.

Since that's the case, let's fulfill it once.

"Okay, then you run first."

"But remember, third time's the charm. If you fall and can't get up again, you must let me pass."

"On this point, examiner, I ask you to witness."

Lu Lin wouldn't indulge the old ox's sour mood.

"I witness."

The examiner's voice came, and Lu Lin nodded, signaling the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox to begin running.

Seeing even the examiner come forward this time, the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox had no choice but to agree, showing it wouldn't cheat again.

"Come attack me."

"Come attack me."

The old ox ran while mooing.

That attitude, that look, that expression, it all seemed so infuriating.

"Alright."

Lu Lin waved his hand.

The old ox instinctively jumped back.

Unexpectedly, just as it landed.

An Earth Thorn suddenly appeared.

"Delayed Earth Thorn technique."

Lu Lin grinned, showing eight white teeth at the old ox: "Yes, I just invented it."

"Moo——"

The Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox cried miserably, foaming at the mouth as it crashed to the ground.

It felt the human still being deceitful, yet it had no evidence.

Fooling a common old ox, human boy, can you bear it in your heart?

"Judgement: pass."

This time, it was the examiner who personally announced, and Lu Lin excitedly waved his arm, exiting Cage No.5.

The next was the rogue Blazing Fire Antelope that he saw upon entering here.

After the matters in the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox cage, Lu Lin had a slight idea in his mind.

It seems, passing through isn't just about satisfying spirit beasts' desires alone.

For those spirit beasts with friendly attitudes, Lu Lin would do his utmost to fulfill their wishes.

As for those uncooperative ones, who constantly spat "to your mother," he didn't need to indulge their sour moods.

It's also okay to let them help Lu Lin fulfill a wish or two.
