Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents Chapter 180 - 166, Inch Tick (Requesting Subscription for Mo

What’s going on?

Guan Kuang was taken aback for a mont, then he understood.

"Mr. Wang, has Mr. Chen... been promoted?" Guan Kuang looked incredulous.

He had heard from Guan Yue that Lu Lin was very talented in Guiding Star Skills, but this was too impressive. It took him less than half an hour to guide Chen Yuqiong to a breakthrough and promotion?

"Yes, Mr. Chen was a bit faster. I’m feeling it too. In less than a week, I’ll also be promoted to the Seventh Level," Wang Ming replied.

"What?"

Guan Kuang felt as if he was eting Wang Ming for the first ti. So he was also getting promoted.

The Jinchao Pioneering Team has one leader and two deputy leaders. Turns out, I’m the only one still at the Level 6 interdiate stage now.

"Hahahaha!"

"Excellent!"

"So this is the Golden Body Realm. It feels good."

"Mr. Guan, since you’re here, shall we spar?" Chen Yuqiong, brimming with new power, challenged.

"No." Guan Kuang was almost depressed.

Once, in the Jinchao Pioneering Team, the three of them were the top combatants. Although Wang Ming and Chen Yuqiong were at the Level 6 Peak, he, at the Level 6 interdiate stage, wasn’t far behind.

But now, one of them was directly promoted, and the other said he would be promoted within a week, leaving him alone still at the Level 6 interdiate stage.

Moreover, after many years of grooming, many mbers of the team had gradually upgraded their cultivation levels. Team mbers at the Fourth Level and Fifth Level were common, and so had even broken through to the Sixth Level.

He couldn’t catch up to those ahead, and those behind were quickly closing in.

Guan Kuang gave Lu Lin, who was still imrsed in the Consciousness Universe with his eyes closed, a deep look, then turned around and left without a word.

He needed to cultivate, he needed to cultivate.

Isn’t it just about awakening the five senses?

He refused to believe he couldn’t break through to the Level 6 Peak within a month. When that ti ca, the first thing he’d do was call Lu Lin to help guide his Star Skills!

By the ti Lu Lin woke up, Chen Yuqiong was full of gratitude, so much so that it made Lu Lin feel embarrassed.

Wang Ming, with a grand wave of his hand, showed Lu Lin all the team’s current liquid funds and told him to provide his account details for a transfer.

Looking at the 57 million in there, Lu Lin swallowed with difficulty.

He slightly regretted telling Guan Kuang he’d leave if money was ntioned.

Fifty-seven million!

If he really took it, his account would exceed one hundred million!

"There’s no need, Captain Wang. I already have a connection with Big Brother Guan. You should know he has a granddaughter nad Guan Yue, who is also a Star Guide. Previously..."

"Alright, alright. I understand, I understand," Wang Ming laughed, the scar at the corner of his eye crinkling. "Since you’ve said that, it would be too formal of to ntion money again. Besides, you can be considered Jinchao’s son-in-law now."

"That being said, if you ever need help, just say the word."

"Whether you need to go on Exotic Training, or are looking for any materials or dicinal herbs, just ask. As long as we have them or can find them, you just need to say the word."

"By then, we’ll just be waiting for your wedding banquet with little Guan Yue."

Even though he said that, Wang Ming still took out a gold card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Lin.

"This is the Gold mbership Card for the Jinchao Barbecue Restaurant. From now on, just present this card, and you can eat at Jinchao Barbecue for free."

"Later, I’ll have soone register your identity. So, it wouldn’t matter if you don’t bring the card; your bill will be automatically waived when you check out."

Lu Lin accepted the card.

This card was a token of goodwill. If he really used it to eat at Jinchao Barbecue every day, it wouldn’t be appropriate in the long run.

It would give people the impression he was intentionally taking advantage.

"Little Lu, I also have sothing good for you," Chen Yuqiong said, taking a small tal box from his pocket. Wang Ming’s eyes narrowed.

"You must promise not to refuse."

"Mr. Chen, can you bear to part with this?" Wang Ming asked.

"Haha, what’s there to be reluctant about?"

Chen Yuqiong opened the box, allowing Lu Lin to take out the pure, transparent, soybean-sized crystal stone himself.

Lu Lin could feel imnse Star Power emanating from it.

"This is..."

"This is a Star Crystal, an Attributeless Star Crystal."

"Previously, on the Exotic Battlefield, Mr. Wang found it inside an exotic beast and brought it to ."

"Although this is an Attributeless Star Crystal, you can not only extract Star Power from it, but it also has certain benefits for your Spiritual Strength."

"This morning, we all watched your match."

"At first, we didn’t know what you called the move that stunned your opponent. It was only when soone online said it was similar to a ’Spiritual Secret Skill,’ exclusive to Titled Kings, that I decided to give you this Star Crystal."

"Now that I, Mr. Chen, have reached the Seventh Level Golden Body Realm, this item isn’t of much use to anymore. I hope you won’t disdain it," Chen Yuqiong said, casually trying to put on his hat.

But his hand happened to touch the top of his head, and it felt a bit prickly.

Chen Yuqiong paused.

"Ol-Old Wang, look, is hair growing on my head?"

Not only Wang Ming, but Lu Lin also looked at Chen Yuqiong’s head upon hearing this.

Indeed, on Chen Yuqiong’s head, strands of hair were sprouting from his once-bald scalp, like the earth reviving in spring.

"It grew! It really grew!"

"Mr. Chen, this is truly like reforging your Golden Body!" Wang Ming said loudly, and Chen Yuqiong was also overjoyed.

He pushed the box towards Lu Lin again. "Little Lu, look, my hair has grown out! You take this Star Crystal."

"This..." Lu Lin hesitated.

"Accept it, Little Lu. This thing isn’t worth much; just take it as Mr. Chen’s token of appreciation," Wang Ming also advised from the side.

Star Crystals indeed weren’t extrely valuable. A fingertip-sized one was worth about a million. This one from Chen Yuqiong, although attributeless, wouldn’t be priced over two million even at its highest. Moreover, since so of it had already been used, its value would naturally be greatly diminished.

"Alright, thank you then." Lu Lin accepted the Star Crystal, placing it in his pocket for the ti being.

At this mont, the door to the Cultivation Room was pushed open again. The three of them turned to look and were surprised to see it was Guan Kuang.

"Mr. Guan, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing. I’m looking for Lu Lin."

"Lu Lin, could you co out for a mont?"

"Oh." Lu Lin followed Guan Kuang out of the room. Guan Kuang asked in a low voice, "Lu Lin, where is my granddaughter?"

"Huh? Guan Yue?"

"What happened to her?"

Lu Lin’s heart tightened. When he had just arrived at Jinchao’s headquarters, he had received two ssages from Guan Yue. In such a short ti, she couldn’t have gotten into trouble, could she?

"You don’t know?"

"Strange. I know my granddaughter’s personality fairly well."

"Logically, she should be in Chongnuo City by now, or at least on a Starship from Saturn if she hasn’t arrived yet."

"By the way, Lu Lin, has Guan Yue been in contact with you these past few days?" Guan Kuang asked after muttering to himself.

"N-No..."

"What? Lu Lin, you’re a grown man! Can’t you just say clearly whether she has or hasn’t contacted you?"

"She has."

"Damn it!"

"I knew it." Guan Kuang punched the wall behind Lu Lin, as if he had expected this all along.

Although he didn’t return to Saturn often, he would occasionally call Guan Pingchao and Guan Yue, so he had a relatively good understanding of his granddaughter’s personality.

He hadn’t expected this silly girl to actually travel all the way from Saturn for Lu Lin.

Back when she was in university, Guan Kuang had repeatedly invited Guan Yue to co to Alien—Chongnuo City or any nearby city would do. His years in the Exotic Battlefield hadn’t been for nothing; at the very least, ensuring his granddaughter’s safety wasn’t a problem.

But at that ti, Guan Yue had categorically refused, without any room for doubt.

He never imagined that now, for a brat like Lu Lin, she would travel all the way from Saturn.

"Lu Lin, treat my granddaughter well in the future."

"If you don’t like her, then stay away from her. Don’t give her false hope and fantasies."

"She’s a very naive girl."

Lu Lin nodded in confusion.

I just ignored Guan Yue’s ssages. That should qualify as "cold and ruthless," "unfeeling," and "inhuman," right?

Since I’ve acted like this, Guan Yue probably won’t seek out again... right?

"Alright, here, take this as a deposit."

"When I reach the Level 6 Peak, I’ll invite you again to help guide Star Skills," Guan Kuang said, tossing a small booklet out of his pocket.

Lu Lin’s eyes narrowed. This booklet looked quite similar to the one Guan Pingchao gave him for Inch Step.

"Inch Tick"

Lu Lin took the booklet in his hand and looked at Guan Kuang. "Big Brother Guan, this is..."

"The latter half of Inch Step," Guan Kuang stated, then slowly began to explain.

Years ago, when Guan Kuang first entered the Exotic Battlefield, he had accidentally stumbled into a Secret Realm. There, he faced Nine Deaths, One Life, but managed to obtain the Inch Step Secret Book.

After years of cultivation, as his ability increased, his understanding of Inch Step also deepened.

The cultivation of Inch Step had four realms: Square Inch, Flowing Water, Thunderstrike, and Space Instant.

Although Guan Kuang’s Star Power Level had not reached the Level 6 Peak, his cultivation of Inch Step had already reached the Thunderstrike stage. He was only one step away from advancing to Space Instant—to gain the ability of spatial movent with a Star Power Level below the ninth.

But the further he cultivated, the more he felt that Inch Step wasn’t just a simple movent technique.

Three years ago, he re-entered that sa Secret Realm and, after searching ticulously for half a month, finally found this manual, "Inch Tick."

"Inch Tick," corresponding to Inch Step, was a high-level Offensive Type Star Martial technique.

However, after three years of cultivation, he had only learned the first three forms of "Inch Tick."

Today, Lu Lin had co at their invitation to help Wang Ming and Chen Yuqiong guide their Star Skills. Guan Kuang felt indebted as well, but he didn’t have anything particularly valuable to give Lu Lin. He had just gone back and rummaged through his ’little treasure vault.’ Rembering that Lu Lin had also learned Inch Step, he decided it was fitting to give him "Inch Tick" as well.

He only hoped that Lu Lin could carry forward and glorify this Offensive Type Star Martial technique in the future.

"Thank you for this, Big Brother Guan."

"I will surely cultivate diligently."

Guan Kuang, with a ’do as you see fit’ expression, waved his hand dismissively and returned without saying more.

Holding "Inch Tick," the Jinchao Barbecue Gold Card, and the Attributeless Star Crystal, Lu Lin mused that this haul wasn’t small at all.

When I get back, I still need to focus on cultivation.

I’ve been so busy these past few days, with no ti for cultivation.

School is starting soon; all these other matters should be wrapped up.

That’s right, Zuo Yiming and Luo Ling are still here. I need to hurry back and chat with them.

Lu Lin hurried ho and saw Zuo Yiming and the others had bought so Qingdao beer and were drinking at ho.

"Old Lu, Old Lu, co, let’s drink!" Zuo Yiming greeted him, his face flushed.

This fellow could maintain the facade of a young master from a large family in front of outsiders, but once he got familiar with you, his true colors were completely revealed. Studying on Alien, Zuo Zhenyu couldn’t manage him, so he beca even more unrestrained.

It was said that he had only reported to the school for two days but had already gone out drinking with his dormitory mates several tis.

Lu Lin had a mischievous thought.I’ll take a picture of him drinking later, send it to Zuo Zhenyu, and then there’ll definitely be a good show to watch!

Zuo Yiming had just taken a sip of wine when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Soone’s always trying to plot against ! he thought.
