Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents
Chapter 33 - 31, spatial talent?

Chapter 33: 31, spatial talent?

Lu Lin looked at Zhou Ziqiang, speechless.

He didn’t know what kind of television programs Zhou Ziqiang showed his little sister every day. Girls her age should like stories about princesses and princes, right?

Zhou Ziqiang scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Ever since his sister started first grade last year, she had begun reading all-text books.

Most of the time, she stayed in her room, quietly reading.

"Let’s not talk about this for now. Xiao Ru, Big Brother is asking you, do you know what Talent you’ve awakened?"

"Big Brother?"

Xiao Ru looked puzzled for a moment, then her expression shifted to one of sudden realization. "Oh, I know!"

This must be like the old-fashioned child brides—a little sister when young, and a wife when they grow up.

As if having made up her mind, Xiao Ru looked at Lu Lin with determination. "Alright then! From now on, I’ll teach you, Big Brother."

"Big Brother, I don’t know what my Talent is either. It’s just... I can make a big Black Hole."

Lu Lin didn’t mind what Xiao Ru called him. He frowned and asked, "A Black Hole?"

Xiao Ru nodded seriously. "Yes, a big Black Hole that I can create. Do you want to see it, Big Brother?"

"But after I make a big hole, I feel all weak and sleepy."

"No need. I’ll guide you in Comprehending Star Skills first."

Lu Lin had basically completed his plans on Blue Star, and his College Entrance Exam preferences had also been submitted.

Next, he would return to Saturn, and then he had to prepare for the entrance trial at Luse Academy.

Although it was still a month away, Lu Lin wanted to handle everything as soon as possible and then prepare for the entrance trial for Iron Blood College.

After all, this was directly related to his future prospects.

"Alright."

Xiao Ru looked disappointed, her mind already drifting off to some fantasy.

Lu Lin went into Xiao Ru’s bedroom, closed the door, and asked Zhou Ziqiang to wait outside.

"Xiao Ru, Big Brother will envelop you with his Star Power Domain. Don’t be afraid."

"Close your eyes and just enter the Domain."

"Don’t specifically try to think about Comprehending Star Skills or anything. You’re still young, and there’s plenty of time in the future. There’s no need to rush."

Lu Lin gently reassured Xiao Ru.

He was a disciple of Master Jiang Yueming from the Natural School, which emphasized that mindset was paramount when guiding Martial Artists in Comprehending Star Skills.

One had to maintain a natural and peaceful state of mind to increase the likelihood of Comprehending Star Skills upon entering the Domain.

"I know, Big Brother."

Xiao Ru’s voice was soft and sweet.

"Good. Now, close your eyes and wait to enter the Domain."

Xiao Ru complied, sitting down cross-legged.

Lu Lin observed her state for a moment, then closed his own eyes and entered his Consciousness Universe.

He activated his Star Power Domain.

Since its construction, Lu Lin hadn’t used his Star Power Domain much.

In the past two days, he had either been cultivating at the Dragon Battle Hotel or at Zuo Yiming’s house.

Now, as he entered his Star Power Domain, the sight of the ground covered in eyeballs was quite unsettling.

However, Lu Lin suddenly recalled something.

When Master Jiang Yueming had entered his Star Power Domain in the Cultivation Room previously, he hadn’t seemed to sense anything unusual. After leaving the Domain, Master Jiang Yueming had merely advised Lu Lin to optimize his Star Power Domain when he found the time. Could it be... his Star Power Domain appeared completely different to others?

If that’s the case, let’s begin.

The Star Power Domain expanded, covering Xiao Ru.

With her eyes closed, Xiao Ru suddenly perceived a bright light, and a strong wind carrying the scent of earth blew towards her.

Opening her eyes, she found herself in a world filled with yellow sand.

There were no mountains.

There was no water.

There were no trees.

No life.

The entire world was bare, exuding a feeling of endless desolation.

A gust of yellow wind blew past, sweeping up countless particles of sand and dust.

Xiao Ru instinctively shielded her eyes with her hand to block the invading sand and dust.

So this is Big Brother’s Star Power Domain, she thought. There’s nothing here, just sand and wind.

"PTOOEY! Disgusting sand!" Xiao Ru exclaimed with a look of distaste.

But since she was already here, she wasn’t going to waste time just standing around. She might as well take a walk and look around.

Within his Domain, Lu Lin saw Xiao Ru’s small figure, but he didn’t know what she was experiencing.

Seeing Xiao Ru appear calm and begin to move around, Lu Lin felt his worries ease.

It seems only I can see the world composed of eyeballs. Others who enter see a normal world.

As Xiao Ru walked, she saw the same yellow sand stretching endlessly in all directions, as if she could never leave this area. Feeling somewhat bored, she simply plopped down on the yellow sand.

Big Brother’s Star Power Domain is so boring; there’s nothing in here, she pouted inwardly. Not fun at all.

In Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain, the sky Xiao Ru saw was a yellowish-brown, and the land was composed of desert, sand, and soil.

Wherever she went, she saw the same scenery, the same colors.

This world is far too monotonous, Xiao Ru felt. It would be nice if there were some flowers, plants, and maybe some small animals. When she gets out, she must tell Big Brother that such a bare Domain couldn’t possibly help anyone comprehend Star Skills! He’s such a silly Big Brother.

After being bored for a while, Xiao Ru suddenly remembered the Talent she had activated earlier.

It’s the one that can create big Black Holes! Since there’s nothing in Big Brother’s Domain, I might as well add a Black Hole. Maybe this Black Hole is just like the Black Holes in the universe, and it will suck away all this annoying soil and yellow sand in the Domain!

Xiao Ru acted as soon as the thought occurred to her.

"Black Hole, Black Hole, big Black Hole!"

Chanting the incantation she had painstakingly come up with, Xiao Ru pointed her finger, and indeed, a large Black Hole materialized within Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.

Swirling vortexes spun constantly within the Black Hole, and a mere glance was enough to make one feel dizzy.

Around the edge of the Black Hole, streaks of purple lightning entwined and flickered, arcing ceaselessly.

Lu Lin watched Xiao Ru’s actions, his eyes wide and utterly dumbfounded.

This... is allowed?!

Back when he was Comprehending Star Skills, all Lu Lin had done in Master Jiang Yueming’s Star Power Domain was pick a few fruits and pull up some grass.

Now, Xiao Ru’s actions far surpassed what Lu Lin had managed back then.

"Huh?"

"What is this—?"

This was only the second time Xiao Ru had created a Black Hole. Not only did she not feel sleepy, but she even curiously poked her head towards the Black Hole to peek inside.

She even reached a hand in to explore and seemed to have found something.

Lu Lin watched excitedly.

He guessed that Xiao Ru’s Talent was likely related to space. Perhaps it’s a doorway that allows travel at will? Or a Spatial Channel leading directly to treasure troves? Or perhaps it’s simply a pocket of space that can hold people! Regardless, any of these possibilities made Lu Lin incredibly envious. A Space-attribute Talent! This could be called the most special of special attributes! If only I could awaken a Space-attribute Talent as well...

Lu Lin was so envious he was practically drooling. Suddenly, he saw Xiao Ru withdraw her hand, and in it, she was grasping a...
