Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Passed away?

Lu Lin was taken aback by this answer.

He initially thought of letting the Earth Mother Bear enter his Star Power Domain and then creating an imaginary husband for it. Wouldn't that fulfill its wish?

But the Earth Mother Bear was well aware that its husband was already dead.

This made things quite difficult.

"Uh, can I ask how your husband died?"

"I know it's presumptuous, but I genuinely want to help you."

Lu Lin hesitated for a moment but then gathered his courage to ask.

"Dead is dead. Is there any other way to die?"

A trace of hatred flashed in the Earth Mother Bear's eyes, "Moreover, it was killed by you humans."

"You can leave. You'll never pass here."

"Heh heh."

The Earth Mother Bear sneered, causing Lu Lin quite a headache.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly crazy Earth Mother Bear was even harder to deal with than other spirit beasts.

For a moment, Lu Lin had no idea what to do.

Its husband was killed by humans, making it inherently resistant to Lu Lin's arrival.

Adding to that, it held the option of whether Lu Lin could pass the test, making Lu Lin even more uncomfortable.

After leaving Cage No. 1, Lu Lin asked the Level Manager if he could switch to another spirit beast for the assessment.

This Earth Mother Bear simply wouldn't let him pass.

"Young man, everything that exists is predetermined by fate."

"Since you encountered it, you should think about helping it solve its problem and fulfill its wish."

"If you can't complete it, then you won't pass. During the assessment, the spirit beasts in the cages are fixed and cannot be replaced."

The manager's reply left Lu Lin feeling frustrated inside, so he just shook his head and went to Cage No. 6.

There were two Blazing Fire Antelopes there, eager to breed offspring but never succeeding.

Fortunately, they had stopped for the moment, so Lu Lin approached to inquire about their wishes.

The female antelope lifted its eyes to glance at Lu Lin without speaking, but the male antelope came over, pulling Lu Lin aside away from the female antelope and whispered.

"Do you have any method to enhance abilities?"

"Enhance abilities?"

"Enhance what kind of abilities?"

Lu Lin was puzzled.

"Abilities, you know, those kinds of abilities. You get it."

The male antelope winked at Lu Lin.

Seeing its expression, Lu Lin suddenly understood.

It seemed the male antelope couldn't take it anymore. Doing this every day, no matter how talented, would inevitably lead to exhaustion.

Judging from its physique, the male antelope had become significantly smaller than the female.

Being a man, it's hard.

Being a male antelope, it's no easier.

However, while he could understand the male antelope's feelings, Lu Lin was unable to help.

He's a young bachelor; where would he need to use such things?

Until now, Lu Lin still hadn't had a girlfriend.

"Hey buddy, do you have any other wishes?"

"Other wishes?"

The male antelope thought for a moment and said, "Can you help me change to a new girlfriend?"

"Forget it, let's discuss how to enhance your ability instead."

Lu Lin was speechless.

Helping it change girlfriends would mean confronting Chen Buming.

If Lu Lin had such ability, he would have left the Secret Realm long ago, not needing to pass challenges step by step.

However, Lu Lin had a sudden idea and whispered a few words to the male antelope.

The male antelope constantly nodded, "Sounds good, great idea, let's go now, let's go now."

Lu Lin entered the Consciousness Universe, guiding the male antelope into his Star Power Domain.

The male antelope's silhouette suddenly appeared on a vast prairie.

That's right, the same prairie that the Sky-flying White Horse couple had just visited.

Lu Lin directly created countless female antelopes, and when the male antelope saw those petite, softly bleating female antelopes, its eyes almost sparkled with golden light.

This was amazing.

This was the place of a male antelope's dreams.

Baa.

The male antelope roared and rushed onto a female antelope, starting to create little antelopes.

...

A long time passed.

The male antelope looked at the ground covered with graceful, enchanting-eyed female antelopes, bleating aloud.

"Hahaha, my abilities are invincible."

"Lu Lin, send me out now."

Lu Lin smiled slightly and pushed the male antelope out of the Star Power Domain.

After its spiritual form returned, the male antelope looked content and satisfied.

Baa.

Lu Lin, good buddy, consider this challenge passed.

Baa.

Let's exchange martial arts sometime in the future.

The male antelope grinned widely, and Lu Lin smiled along with it.

Now, he had accumulated nine successes. Just solving the Earth Mother Bear matter would mean passing this challenge.

Lu Lin's heart surged with excitement.

Nothing in the world is difficult if one sets their mind to it.

He would definitely find a way to reveal the last Earth Mother Bear's flaw, making it willingly let him pass.

"Alright, Mr. Antelope, since you're satisfied, I'll take my leave now."

"Until we meet again."

Lu Lin clasped his fists in salute to the male antelope, who also called out, sending Lu Lin off to the entrance of the cage.

After closing the iron gate, Lu Lin heard the call of the female antelopes.

Baa.

Have you rested enough? Come quickly.

Lu Lin instinctively turned to look back, only to see the male antelope's legs weak, nearly falling to the ground.

Baa.

Here we come, here we come, just now I was so engrossed in sparring with Lu Lin that I could use a bit more rest.

"Baa."

Dream on.

Lu Lin, trying to hold back his laughter, quickly left Cage Number Six.

Approaching Cage No.1 again, the Earth Mother Bear saw Lu Lin but had no intention of acknowledging him, and instead called out to the distance:

"Honey."

"Honey."

The voice carried boundless sorrow and desolation, enough to make anyone who heard it shed tears, and feel heartbroken at the sight.

The Earth Mother Bear roared for a while, perhaps it got tired.

It turned around and descended Bear Mountain, found a spot, and started to sleep.

Seeing it stop, Lu Lin approached and said, "Sister Bear, you must be exhausted."

"Actually, I deeply understand your longing for your husband, but shouting like this every day, he can't hear you nor see you, and more importantly, if your husband in the Spirit of Heaven sees you harming yourself like this, his heart certainly wouldn't feel good."

"How about this, can you tell me your story between you two? I'm willing to be a listener."

"You?"

The Earth Mother Bear slightly raised its head and glanced at Lu Lin.

If Lu Lin had said something else, it definitely would have scoffed.

What a joke, as a proud Earth Mother Bear, it still needs human consolation.

However, when Lu Lin mentioned its husband in the Spirit of Heaven, also not wishing it to harm itself this way, the Earth Mother Bear's heart...

It broke its defense.

Yet, because of its long-standing dislike for humans, it was unwilling to show Lu Lin any friendly expression.

"Yes, it's me."

Lu Lin was full of sincerity, "If you are happy, then share it with others, one happiness will turn into two happinesses."

"If you are sad, then you must share it with others, so that one sorrow becomes half a sorrow."

"So, would you be willing to share your story with your husband with me?"

The Earth Mother Bear fell silent.

It did not respond to Lu Lin's words immediately but lowered its head.

Burying its eyes deeply into its two forearms.

After a long time.

It raised its head eventually, seeing Lu Lin still as he was just now waiting for it, the Earth Mother Bear's heart softened.

"Alright then, I'll tell you."

"However, let me say upfront, even if you listen to my story, I won't let you pass."

"No problem, go ahead."

Lu Lin had no objections.

Thus, the mother bear began to speak slowly.

It's quite a clichéd story, from meeting her husband, falling in love, and forming a family.

Until one day, a group of Martial Artists entered the dense forest, seeking bear gall from the Earth Bear Clan for refining medicine.

The best choice was, of course, the bear cub's gall.

Once their family was discovered, the Earth Mother Bear and the male bear fled the Mountain Forest with their child.

Yet, the tracking skills of those Human Martial Artists were too formidable.

They ran for half a month but couldn't shake them off.

More than that, the Human Martial Artists even sought help from an old man with greater ability to deal with the two adult Earth Bear Clan, to facilitate taking the bear cub away.

At the crucial moment, the Earth Father Bear fought despite serious injuries, killing the Human Martial Artists, saving his wife and child.

Yet, he himself died.

The Earth Mother Bear hid deep in the mountains and raised the children, painstakingly cultivating.

When it became strong enough, it led its children together to avenge the male bear, annihilating that entire human power.

Not leaving even the chickens and dogs.

But even so, its husband could never return.

"Okay, that's my story."

"You've heard it, now leave."

"Leave?"

Lu Lin was stunned, not understanding what the Earth Mother Bear meant.

But at this moment, the voice of the Second Level Manager came, "Congratulations Lu Lin, you have successfully passed the second challenge, fulfilling all the spirit beasts' wishes."

"Now, please proceed to the Third Challenge, which is the final trial."

Lu Lin looked at the Earth Mother Bear in front of him in surprise.

As if he hadn't heard the manager's words.

"You, why are you doing this."

The Earth Mother Bear had clearly said earlier that even if it told Lu Lin its story, it wouldn't let Lu Lin pass, but now...

"Go."

"Go."

"Over the years, I've never forgotten my husband, but the children have grown up and they don't want to hear about past matters."

"For many years, I've always hidden this in my heart."

"Just as you said, bringing sad matters out into the open, sadness becomes half."

"Now, I feel I can also let go of this matter from my heart."

"So, you go."

The Earth Mother Bear showed a slight smile.

Lu Lin nodded to it, clasped his fists, and saluted.

Sometimes, when you spend a long time with animals, you develop a different understanding.

Some people look human but do nothing humane.

While these animals, though they have a beast's appearance, their inner selves can make one feel comfortable.

Lu Lin's gaze scanned one by one over the family of Golden-eyed Droopy-eared Rabbits, the Proud Bone Breaking Falcon, the gentle couple of Sky-flying White Horse, the Copper-skinned Iron-boned Ox that Lu Lin had killed several times, the Blazing Fire Antelope still making lambs, the cliff ape monkey trio with bruised blue and swollen faces, the silent One-eyed Rampage Wolf, the Hundred-venom Belly-tip Snake that got what it wasn't after, and the Peninsula Sea Turtle that hasn't seen the sea for nearly ten thousand years.

"Friends, I'm leaving now."

"I believe we will meet again if fortune allows."

Lu Lin waved to the many spirit beasts and stepped into the passageway, heading to the third challenge.

In the third challenge, what appeared before Lu Lin was a tall tower.

"Challenger, defeat the ninety-nine spirit beast Avatars in the tower, and you may pass."

"Remember, Spirit Beast Tower requires no tears, or you'll be sent to serve for thirty years like that girl just now."

The voice of the Third Level Manager was quite cold, and from the sound alone, it was clear that he was not a good-tempered person.

"Girl?"

"Is it the girl who entered with me, Xiao Ru?"

Lu Lin asked.
