Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

"Xiao Ru... Xiao Ru..."

The old man's voice emanated from the Soul Sealing Space Crystal, making Lu Lin quite displeased.

"Xiao Ru, she's not in Secret Realm No. 323 anymore."

"Not in there?"

Lu Lin's eyebrows raised, anger nearly overflowing.

"Did you send her to serve in the Spirit Beast Garden or something?"

"She's still a child."

"No, it wasn't me."

"It was Master Chen Buming who took her away."

The old man quickly explained.

It turned out that just after passing the second challenge, Xiao Ru entered a completely different third challenge from Lu Lin.

The challenge required her to take care of a hundred different spirit beast cubs and raise them.

Among them, a Hundred-venom Belly-tip Snake cub that Xiao Ru cared for grew deformed.

It suddenly grew to seven or eight meters long, more than half a meter thick, with fangs over a meter long.

The Level Manager decided that Xiao Ru had failed the assessment and wanted to teleport her to another Spirit Beast Garden secret realm.

Here it should be noted that Chen Buming's Secret Realm No. 323 has an overall in-charge who is the old man Lu Lin just saw.

Each specific challenge also has different managers, and they are independent of each other with equal authority.

Therefore, the manager for Xiao Ru had the authority to use the teleportation authority of the secret realm.

"What happened afterward?"

"Then the clever Xiao Ru, when the manager was preparing the teleportation formation, modified a function of the formation, and as a result..."

"She teleported the manager away."

What?!

Lu Lin was taken aback.

He never expected that Xiao Ru would have such skills.

Others wanted to send her away, but instead, she modified the function of the formation and sent the manager away.

If Xiao Ru were in front of him, Lu Lin would definitely give her a big thumbs-up.

"What happened afterward?"

Lu Lin asked subconsciously.

"Later, Master Chen Buming learned what happened here, returned the manager, tested Xiao Ru, and then left with her."

"Where did he take Xiao Ru?"

"This, I don't know either."

"Don't know?"

"Then what's the use of you?"

Lu Lin said, about to crush the Soul Sealing Space Crystal in his hand.

But just then, a white light flashed, and a young man's figure appeared in front of Lu Lin.

The young man was dressed in a well-fitted suit, with big sunglasses on his face, looking at Lu Lin while laughing continuously.

"Young friend, take it easy."

Lu Lin stepped back and looked directly at the young man who appeared in front of him.

The other's attire was similar to that of the Federation people, but who was he?

"Young friend, I am Chen Buming."

"The manager in the Soul Sealing Space Crystal is one of my subordinates, and I ask you to spare him."

"Spare him? On what basis?"

"First, hand over Xiao Ru to me."

Lu Lin said cautiously.

"Xiao Ru, she's a rare genius in formations, currently receiving guidance at the training class I set up; it's inconvenient for her to come out at the moment."

"But don't worry, after her studies are over, I will send her back."

Lu Lin looked at Chen Buming, who was wearing sunglasses. He was somewhat skeptical that this person was really Chen Buming.

"Young friend, do you not believe my identity?"

"Haha, if I'm not mistaken, you should have practiced Ten Steps Kill, right? I wonder if you've mastered the First Stage of Seize the Gap."

"Let me tell you, I further developed more realms for Ten Steps Kill later on. Do you want to learn?"

Hearing this, Lu Lin was somewhat convinced.

The Ten Steps Kill Star Martial, after numerous searches by Lu Lin, he knew that there was no such secret book within the Federation.

The fact that the other could mention Ten Steps Kill did add some credibility.

"Are you really Chen Buming?"

"Then tell me, how to achieve the second stage, Han Yue of Ten Steps Kill."

"Han Yue?"

Chen Buming's tone became slightly serious, "That means you've already mastered Seize the Gap, impressive, very impressive."

"I've only just released the Ten Steps Kill secret manual in ten copies, and it's been... not even half a year, and you've already mastered the first stage?"

"Come on, show me."

Half a year?

Lu Lin remembered, when he bought Ten Steps Kill from Wealth Street, the boss said it was acquired from the Exotic Battlefield several decades ago.

It's only been half a year?

Lu Lin took out the broken knife from the Storage Ring, but unexpectedly, when Chen Buming saw this broken knife, his expression slightly changed.

"Is this... Saber Demon's Xue Xi?"

Xue Xi?

Lu Lin looked at the broken knife, never expecting it was once the weapon of some Saber Demon.

He smiled at Chen Buming: "I don't know whether it's called Xue Xi or Bing Xi. Its former name doesn't matter; now, I name it Er Hua."

Broken knife: ...

Chen Buming: ...

What the, Er Hua, couldn't you come up with a more ridiculous name?

Chen Buming waved his hand, "Alright, whether it's called Xue Xi or Er Hua, just demonstrate it first."

"Alright."

Lu Lin held the Soul Sealing Space Crystal in his left hand, and with his right hand, he attacked Chen Buming with the broken knife directly.

Ten Steps Kill, Seize the Gap.

Chen Buming saw Lu Lin coming and smiled. He didn't move. When the broken knife was about to reach him, he extended his right hand and pinched the blade with his index and middle fingers.

"Not bad, indeed you seized the gap, and have been at it for quite some time."

"Not bad, not bad."

"Young friend, would you be willing to come with me to a training class for some cultivation? You might become even more powerful than the Saber Demon was back in the day."

"At least, in my memory, the Saber Demon wasn't this strong with saber skills at your age."

Lu Lin shook his head.

He still had a lot of things in the federation, like his parents, relatives, friends, and teacher. How could he give up his friends and family in the federation to follow Chen Buming to some training class?

Moreover, Lu Lin felt he didn't need to attend any training class for learning.

"No need. If you can give me some guidance on the Ten Steps Kill, I'll agree to let Xiao Ru go and learn from you instead."

"However, you'd better provide me with something that can help contact Xiao Ru, as she still has a brother in the Human Federation."

"Sure, no problem."

Chen Buming readily agreed and gave Lu Lin a Message Conch.

"This is a mother conch. I'll hand it over to you. I've already taken a small baby conch from it, and I'll give it to Xiao Ru later when I return. How about that?"

"As for the Han Yue realm, it's actually just separated from Seize the Gap by a thin window paper that can be pierced through. Let me tell you..."

"Wait a moment."

Lu Lin stopped Chen Buming, "Interrupt you for a second, can you first tell me how to use this Message Conch to contact Xiao Ru?"

"You don't even know that?"

"The Human Federation is developing way too slowly."

Chen Buming muttered to himself, "This Message Conch allows communication across dimensions. You'll know how to use it once you return."

"Now, let me explain the Han Yue realm to you briefly."

"Han Yue, literally, means to shake mountains, and you need to have powerful strength for that."

"Hmm, you've only cultivated basic Body Refinement skills so far, so your strength is just barely satisfactory."

"Oh, what's this?"

"Earth Bear Will?"

Chen Buming exaggeratedly asked, adjusting his sunglasses, "Young friend, how did you swindle this Earth Bear Will from that Earth Mother Bear?"

"This is a rare treasure. In Longyuan... um, on our side, the Earth Bear Clan is almost extinct, and even more so, an Earth Bear Clan that can bestow Earth Bear Will hasn't appeared for nearly ten thousand years."

Lu Lin said nothing.

What do you mean by swindle? As such a handsome, trustworthy, and reliable youth, does he need to swindle?

However, the old man inside the Soul Sealing Space Crystal emerged and explained to Chen Buming, which made Chen Buming look at Lu Lin in a new light.

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin had such a side.

From the beginning of the meeting, the impression Lu Lin gave was aggressive, cautious, and exceptionally talented.

"Alright, young friend, this Earth Bear Will is an absolute treasure. When you have time, you should develop its functions further, Earth Bear Will, tsk, tsk, truly fortunate."

"Since you have the Earth Bear Will, your strength will continue to grow, and you've already met the basic conditions to reach the Han Yue realm. What's left is for you to engage in more combat."

"Practice makes perfect. Only through more practice can you glimpse higher realms."

"By the way, the version of Ten Steps Kill you're accustomed to should only have two levels, right?"

"After Han Yue, we've developed and researched up to ten levels eventually. Wait a moment, I'll get an updated version for you and send it to you all at once."

Lu Lin felt like all this talk from the other person was entirely pointless.

He would certainly continue practicing the Ten Steps Kill.

What Lu Lin wanted to know was how to quickly enter the Han Yue realm, and Chen Buming just told him to practice, which seemed a bit too irresponsible.

However, knowing what the Han Yue realm meant gave Lu Lin a clear direction.

After waiting for a while, a booklet suddenly appeared in Chen Buming's hand. It looked just like the version Lu Lin had bought from a street vendor on Wealth Street before.

"Here, take this. If you don't understand something later, you can always contact me by phone, oh, I mean through the Message Conch. I also kept one myself."

"Alright then, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. There's some other matter I need to handle over there."

"Wait a moment."

Lu Lin called out to stop Chen Buming who was about to turn and leave.

"Boss, I remember in that Ten Steps Kill secret book, you mentioned that you experimented with Ten Steps Kill to the point of severing your meridians and having a short life. How are you now so powerful again?"

"Moreover, are you a human from the federation? How come you know so much about the federation?"

"You have too many questions. Which should I answer first?"

"Youngsters with so many questions at such a young age will be disliked by others when they grow up."

Chen Buming complained and then said, "Whether I am a Federation person, I can't tell you for now. However, if you can eventually leave the Exotic Battlefield, you might possibly use some demon beast knowledge you've learned today."

"I can't say any more. You'll have to experience the rest on your own."

"Goodbye."

Chen Buming waved at Lu Lin and then turned and left.

Lu Lin was pondering over the four words Chen Buming mentioned—

Exotic Battlefield.

This term seems to be specifically used by the Human Federation.

But hearing it from Chen Buming's mouth made Lu Lin think more.

Could Chen Buming be a federation person from several hundred years ago, who because of his powerful strength, broke out of the Exotic Battlefield and went to a higher dimension?

If he was indeed a federation person with powerful strength, then why didn't he sweep away the alien races and exotic beasts in the Exotic Battlefield before leaving?

Sigh.

With a sigh, Lu Lin put the updated Ten Steps Kill secret book and the cross-dimensional Message Conch into his Storage Ring.

"Old man."

"When did you start following Chen Buming?"

Lu Lin caressed the Soul Sealing Space Crystal.

"Well, back in the day, the old man was a groom in Kain City, and got selected by Lord Chen to follow him. At his peak, the old man could also easily slaughter those at the Star Core Peak realm."

"Star Core Peak, what is this realm?"

Lu Lin asked.

He guessed that there should be other realms after the Star General, could it be the Star Core Realm?
