Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents
Chapter 40 - 38, huge harvest

Chapter 40: 38, huge harvest

Qi Feilong walked out of the Cultivation Room, loudly announcing his successful comprehension and acquisition of the Star Blast Explosion Star Skill.

This news excited the students waiting outside the door even more.

The student who was third in line went straight into the Cultivation Room without waiting for Liang Liang’s arrangement.

Water Star Skill, Water Sword.

Gold Star Skill, Hardening.

Fire Star Skill, Scorching.

Wood Star Skill, Flower of Life.

Earth-based Star Skill, Earth Shield.

Fire Star Skill, Fire Ring.

Wood Star Skill, Growth.

Wood Star Skill, Communication.

Gold Star Skill, Shatter.

Water Star Skill, Ripple.

One by one, the students entered and came out with beaming smiles.

For them, comprehending a Star Skill typically took at least half a year after entering the University. Previously, this initial opportunity to comprehend Star Skills right after Awakening was usually wasted.

Seeing that every student who entered could comprehend successfully, everyone had no doubts about Lu Lin’s abilities.

Their mindset shifted from casually trying at the beginning to now entering the Cultivation Room with a firm belief in success.

At the same time, Lu Lin was also extremely satisfied.

With over ten students comprehending Star Skills successively, not only did his confidence soar, but he also gained a lot.

The refinement level of the Earth-Type Star Vessel directly climbed to 27%.

One of the students with Wood System Talent unlocked Double Star Skills, which increased the refinement level by 5%, making Lu Lin extremely happy.

The rest of the students provided an increase of at least 1%, and some even up to 3%.

However, a problem arose when guiding the seventeenth student.

This student with Earth-based Talent was named Shao Feihong.

His Talent ranked among the top three of the nineteen Awakeners at the Military Academy.

His initial refinement level was even higher than Lu Lin’s, reaching 0.85%.

In theory, a student with such a high refinement level should have a high probability of comprehending a Star Skill.

But in the Cultivation Room, Shao Feihong had spent nearly half an hour without comprehending any Star Skills.

Even when Lu Lin placed the eyeball inscribed with Earth-based Star Skills under his feet, he couldn’t comprehend it successfully.

After a considerable delay, Shao Feihong decided to withdraw from Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain on his own, without waiting for Lu Lin to try again.

With an apologetic look, Shao Feihong bowed deeply to Lu Lin. "Master Lu, I’m sorry. I don’t have the talent for comprehending Star Skills, and I’ve wasted so much of your time."

Lu Lin felt a pang of dismay.

Shao Feihong didn’t blame him, the Star Skill Instructor, for his failure to comprehend Star Skills; instead, he took the initiative to apologize.

This made Lu Lin feel even more uncomfortable.

However, he could do nothing. He had tried various methods, exerted much effort, and even arranged for the eyeball inscribed with Star Skills, but he still couldn’t help Shao Feihong comprehend one.

Lu Lin felt quite helpless about this.

"Student Shao, I should be the one apologizing," Lu Lin said.

"But don’t give up. I feel you’re just one step away from comprehending a Star Skill."

"It might be that my Star Power is insufficient, so I couldn’t help you complete the guidance."

Lu Lin glanced at the time and continued, "Here’s what we’ll do: tell Instructor Liang and the other students outside that I need to recover my Star Power."

"I’ll resume guiding everyone after a while."

"Alright, thank you!"

Shao Feihong bowed again, left the Cultivation Room, and informed the others of Lu Lin’s arrangement.

Everyone understood.

Under normal circumstances, the success rate of Star Skill Instructors ranged between 80% and 90%.

Occasionally, with a burst of luck, they might reach a success rate of over 95%.

Lu Lin was not a formal instructor, yet his success rate guiding Star Skills for his fellow students in the Military Academy had already reached 94%. It was understandable that occasional failures might occur.

However, everyone couldn’t help but feel sorry for Shao Feihong.

Those students with less prominent Talents who had entered earlier had all comprehended successfully, yet he had failed.

Fortunately, Shao Feihong quickly adjusted his mentality. This guidance opportunity was essentially a freebie for them.

Success would naturally be a cause for celebration.

If they failed, they would just treat it as if this guidance session had never happened.

Liang Liang patted his shoulder and told the students to go to the canteen for lunch.

He walked into the Cultivation Room and invited Lu Lin to join him at the Military Academy’s guesthouse for a simple meal.

Lu Lin had been busy all morning, and as a representative of the Military Academy, Liang Liang couldn’t let him eat in the canteen.

"Instructor Liang, there’s no need. I’ll eat after I restore my Star Power," Lu Lin said apologetically. "I’m sorry I couldn’t successfully guide Shao Feihong."

Seeing that Lu Lin was also in low spirits, Liang Liang didn’t press further. After exiting the room, he called the guesthouse, ordered a few stir-fried dishes, and asked them to deliver them as soon as possible.

Zuo Yiming had fallen asleep in the Monitoring Room and was completely unaware of Lu Lin’s situation, so he naturally didn’t come to check on him.

Lu Lin locked the door of the Cultivation Room and entered the Consciousness Universe to analyze the situation.

Why did he fail this time?

It wasn’t that he expected a 100% success rate just because he had his Second Star Vein.

It was just that he felt unwilling to accept it.

Shao Feihong’s Talent wasn’t bad. With the boost from Lu Lin’s double Star Veins and the assistance of the eyeball inscribed with Star Skills, there was no reason he shouldn’t have been able to comprehend a Star Skill.

Lu Lin no longer found the Star Power Domain created from his eyeballs to be strange.

In the future, if he could engrave various powerful Star Skills on each eyeball, he would be a walking encyclopedia of Star Skills.

Although he was from the Natural School, his guidance of Star Skills could be anything he wanted; he could arrange whatever the Martial Artists desired.

This approach was much stronger than that of the Designated School.

Thinking of this, Lu Lin suddenly slapped his forehead. An idea struck him.

That’s right! He had learned the guidance techniques of the Natural School from Jiang Yueming.

But just now, he had asked every student what Star Skill they wanted to comprehend. Although what they eventually comprehended might not necessarily be what they desired, Lu Lin had overlooked a very important point.

He hadn’t used the principles of the Natural School in his guidance.

The Natural School had been able to rival the Designated School for so many years. It even served as a fallback option for Star Core Warriors, precisely because it had its own unique advantages.

The higher the level of the Star Core Warriors, the more difficult it was to comprehend desired Star Skills through the guidance of the Designated School.

On the contrary, the Star Skills guided by the Natural School might not be what the Martial Artists wanted, but they could all play their respective roles in battles on the Exotic Battlefield.

This meant Lu Lin had been wrong.

The successes he had this morning were all just flukes.

He hadn’t applied the guiding philosophy of the Natural School at all.

Understanding the crux of the matter, Lu Lin suddenly experienced a moment of enlightenment.

If he were to guide Shao Feihong again, he was absolutely certain he could help him succeed.

As it turned out, Lu Lin’s thoughts were completely correct.

After quickly finishing the stir-fried dishes sent by the guesthouse, Lu Lin began the afternoon’s guidance.

The eighteenth student, a Gold Element Talent, comprehended the Star Skill: Blade Combat.

This student possessed an unparalleled talent for knife work, evident in his daily training. Although Blade Combat was just a support Star Skill, it was perfect for him.

[Star Skill: Blade Combat]

[Introduction: When your heart is fearless and a knife is in your hand, your blade becomes stronger. With a knife in hand, battle intent surges; with a knife in hand, your combat power is peerless (passive skill).]

[Note: When you pick up a knife, your enemies are limited, but Star Power is unlimited.]

This was a Star Skill absolutely suitable for Knife Way Star Core Warriors.

The Star Skills used by Knife Way Martial Artists were typically powerful techniques that consumed a great deal of Star Power.

They often faced situations where their internal Star Power was insufficient.

The Star Battle aspect of this skill allowed Knife Way Martial Artists to continuously absorb and refine ambient Star Power Factors when they held a knife.

Saying that Star Power was unlimited might be an exaggeration, but it was definitely a super Star Skill that could significantly improve the combat endurance of Knife Way Martial Artists.

The nineteenth student came in, and Lu Lin smiled happily.

It wasn’t because the guidance was about to end.

Instead, he felt that he had truly gained a lot today.

Guiding just over a dozen people, he had unexpectedly understood the true essence of the Natural School’s guidance.

This realization made Lu Lin happier than the 7% boost to his refinement level he had received when the previous student comprehended Blade Combat.
