Chapter 36: 34, Guiding Feedback, Youth Military School

It turned out there really were such people!

Lu Lin had just checked on the bus as he walked home after alighting. Star Skill Instructors could indeed guide themselves. Moreover, Star Skills comprehended this way were exceptionally suited to the instructor’s own condition.

Lu Lin’s eyes lit up. This means I’ll be able to save quite a bit of money in the future!

The fees charged by Star Skill Instructors for each service were no small sum. A Star Skill Instructor formally certified by the Federation had a monthly income of no less than 100,000. Each Star Skill Guidance session for a customer cost at least 10,000. When customers comprehended their desired Star Skill, they would also give the instructor an extra red packet as a token of gratitude.

Star Skill Instructors were divided into formal, intermediate, advanced, master-level, and star-level. Upon reaching star-level, even Seventh-Level Star Martial Golden Body strongmen would rush to curry favor.

Lu Lin’s own requirements weren’t high. He would be satisfied if he could pass the formal Star Skill Instructor registration during university.

He happily returned home. Watching the Electromagnetic Mini Robot deliver the nutritional meal, he hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it. He was about to leave Blue Star, so everything he experienced each day felt like a brief farewell.

Next, it was time for cultivation.

After setting the "Do Not Disturb" program for the Electromagnetic Mini Robot, Lu Lin entered his room and began his cultivation. Of course, he first had to put away the fine steel long sword and a few 50-kilogram dumbbells on the floor. These things were useless to him now. After all, who could expect an Earth Warrior to break through an enemy’s defense with flexible swordplay? Or to walk with flamboyant, elegant footwork, killing a person every ten steps and leaving no trace for a thousand miles?

Earth Warriors should just do their own job well. Let others handle the matters of combat (and showing off).

After tidying up the scattered fitness equipment on the floor, Lu Lin sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and entered the Consciousness Universe.

On the Eyeball Star Core, the green color on the Second Star Vein had almost filled the entire Star Vein. Just a little bit more. Just a tiny bit more to reach a 100% refinement degree.

After practicing the Elite Refining Skills for three days, although Lu Lin felt his progress was slow, he had still made some gains. At least, he now had a more precise grasp of his Star Vein Refinement Degree. The refinement degree of the Second Star Vein had now reached 99.8%. As for the Earth-Type Star Vessel...

Huh?!

Lu Lin looked at his Earth-Type Star Vessel, his face a mask of confusion. What’s going on?

For the past three days, Lu Lin had been cultivating his Second Star Vein, hoping to improve the quality of his Star Power once the Second Star Vein reached 100% refinement. His attention had been focused on the Second Star Vein for these three days. However, he had also paid some attention to the state of his Earth-Type Star Vessel. That afternoon, when he left Zuo Yiming’s home and exited the cultivation room, he had glanced at the autonomous refinement degree of his Earth-Type Star Vessel. It was roughly around 2%.

But only an afternoon had passed; how had the refinement degree of the Earth-Type Star Vessel suddenly increased by 5%? The refinement degree of the Earth-Type Star Vessel had now reached around 7.3%.

What did I do? Lu Lin recalled his afternoon experiences.

He’d gone back to school to fill in the voluntary registration.

He’d dined with Zuo Yiming, Luo Ling, and Zhou Ziqiang.

He’d gone to Zhou Ziqiang’s home to guide Xiao Ru in Star Skills.

Guiding Star Skills?

Lu Lin was stunned. Could Guiding Star Skills also increase the refinement degree of my own Star Veins? He hadn’t heard of this before.

He opened his personal terminal and called Master Jiang Yueming.

"Teacher, I have something to ask you."

"When Guiding Star Skills for Star Core Warriors, does it also increase the refinement degree of our own Star Veins as Guides?"

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yueming was in his pajamas, lying in bed and preparing to sleep. Hearing Lu Lin’s question, he sat up and said, "Yes."

"Being a Star Skill Instructor isn’t simply a job of constant giving."

"A thousand years ago, a martial artist, through a chance encounter, created a domain. While experimenting with it on a friend, the friend accidentally comprehended something. From then on, the profession of Star Skill Instructor came into being."

"Over the years, by tracking and studying tens of thousands of Star Skill Instructors, an important conclusion has been drawn."

"While guiding martial artists in Star Skills, we also receive certain benefits."

"And this benefit is what you mentioned: it can enhance the refinement degree of a Star Skill Instructor’s own Star Veins."

"However, you should treat this enhancement more as a way to consolidate and understand your current realm of ability. Don’t even think about relying on Guiding Star Skills for others to improve your refinement degree. The time spent doing that would be better used on your own cultivation, which would yield more Star Power than the meager amount gained from guiding."

"Oh, so that’s how it is. Thank you, Teacher. I understand."

Lu Lin hung up after saying this, causing Jiang Yueming, who had been speaking with great enthusiasm on the other end, to smile bitterly.

How can this student of mine fill his head with such miscellaneous ideas all day long? Hopefully, he won’t go astray in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Lin sat bolt upright.

Teacher Jiang was talking about ordinary Star Skill Instructors. The Star Power feedback they received after guiding others was too little, not enough for Refining their Star Veins. But I’m different.

I only guided Xiao Ru once, and my Star Vein Refinement Degree increased so much. What if I guided more people?

Don’t forget, my Star Power Domain has an initial area of 36 square meters. It’s no exaggeration to say that guiding seven or eight people at once would be no problem at all.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin’s heart burned with excitement.

Through Star Skill Guidance, he could gain Star Power to refine his Star Veins. As his Star Vein Refinement Degree increased, he could drastically reduce the time it would take to advance from a Zero-Level Star Warrior to a Level 1 Star Martial Artist.

If... if I could manage to advance to a Level 1 Star Nucleus Warrior before Luse Alliance College starts... then challenging the new students of Iron Blood College would be a piece of cake!

The entire chain of logic was already very clear. All that was lacking now was the opportunity to guide others in Star Skills.

The students at his school who had awakened had already comprehended Star Skills under Jiang Yueming’s guidance. Students from other schools wouldn’t work either. Lu Lin, who generally kept to himself, didn’t even know all of his classmates, let alone anyone from other schools.

Where else... where else... where else could I find people who have awakened but haven’t yet had the chance to comprehend Star Skills? If I can’t think of any, I’ll ask someone.

Lu Lin called Zuo Yiming.

"Yiming, do you know where I can find people who have awakened their Talent but haven’t comprehended Star Skills yet?"

"I do."

"Huh?"

Lu Lin was stunned. He hadn’t expected to get the answer he wanted with just one phone call. This is going too smoothly!

"Where? Tell me quickly."

"Hehe, the City Defense Army, of course," Zuo Yiming said matter-of-factly. "Lu Lin, you can’t possibly be unaware of our Tongyuan’s Youth Military School, can you?"

"Students at the Youth Military School have a dual status, being part military personnel and part student. Most of them are children from impoverished off-world families who enter the military academy hoping for a stable future."

"Among these students, only a tiny minority can achieve Awakening; most are without Talent."

"Likewise, the Youth Military School doesn’t invite Masters to guide these few students, unlike our Golden Sword High School."

"Most of these individuals have to wait until they enter university to receive the corresponding Star Skill Guidance."

"Really? That’s great!" Lu Lin exclaimed. "Are you familiar with the Youth Military School? Take me there quickly!"

Lu Lin was extremely excited, eager to go to the Youth Military School immediately to guide people in Star Skills.

"Now? Are you crazy? Look at the time! The Youth Military School is closed for the night!"

"Tomorrow. I’ll go with you tomorrow, okay?"

Hearing Zuo Yiming agree, Lu Lin slowly unclenched the fist he had been holding. He always preferred to persuade people with reason. But he wouldn’t hesitate to use physical persuasion if necessary.

After hanging up, Lu Lin calmed his excitement. Tomorrow’s business can wait until tomorrow. The most important thing now is to completely refine my Second Star Vein.
