Chapter 121: 115, Lion’s Roar, Customer Service, Pause (please subscribe to monthly ticket)
Although Lu Lin wasn’t absolutely confident, he had the courage to try. However, Bai Jingwei’s comforting words only stoked the stubbornness in his heart.
You say I can’t do it? Then I’ll show you I can.
It’s merely three geniuses with special Talents.
Other Star Guides might not be able to help them comprehend Star Skills, but that doesn’t mean I can’t.
So what if I can’t guarantee a 100% success rate? So what!
Over thousands of years in the Federation, countless brilliant Star Guides had emerged. None of them could guarantee a 100% guidance success rate, but did that diminish their greatness?
Lu Lin took a deep breath and sat cross-legged on the ground.
He didn’t respond to Governor Bai’s comforting words. Instead, he turned to the girl with the Sound Talent at the front and said, "You go first. When you enter the Star Power Domain, try to release your Innate Ability as much as possible. Trust me, I will definitely guide you successfully."
The girl looked at Lu Lin. Seeing his determined gaze, a spark of hope ignited within her.
What’s so scary about failure? I’ve already failed so many times. What’s one more try?
"Alright," the girl nodded. "I believe in you."
She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and entered her Consciousness Universe.
Lu Lin released his Star Power Domain, drawing the girl’s spiritual body into his world.
"ROAR—"
As soon as the girl entered, she heard a deafening roar and immediately covered her ears in fright.
Her name was Li Yuyan. Like Lu Lin, her parents were workers at an agricultural products company. She came from an average family and had an ordinary appearance. However, after eighteen years of being unremarkable, she awakened the Sound Talent during her College Entrance Exam Talent Awakening, becoming a local sensation overnight.
When the Governor’s Mansion learned of this, they brought Li Yuyan to the East Forest Continent for secret training. Her initial Star Vein refinement level of 0.99% allowed her to progress smoothly, as if she were a fish in water. She reached Zero Level First Stage with almost no effort.
At that time, the Governor’s Mansion specially invited a Master-level Star Guide from Saturn to guide her in Comprehending Star Skills.
However... the attempt failed.
Subsequently, several other Star Guides came, but they could only shake their heads and sigh at her situation. Gradually, Li Yuyan grew more withdrawn. She started to think that awakening such a special Talent might not have been a blessing after all.
Some of her classmates who had awakened the Five Elements Talent would discuss their experiences with Star Skills daily in their group chat. But she could only lurk silently. If anyone asked about her progress, Li Yuyan would offer a curt "fine" and coldly end the conversation.
This time, Governor Bai Jingwei had called her from the East Forest Continent late at night, telling her a super-talented Star Guide could help her comprehend Star Skills. Although the Governor hadn’t specified who, Li Yuyan guessed it was the same Star Guide who had helped Mountain Breaking King Zhao Lei achieve his breakthrough to Titled King.
But when she saw Lu Lin for the first time, He’s so young, she thought with a hint of disappointment. He doesn’t look much older than me. Could someone like him really help Mountain Breaking King Zhao Lei break through to Titled King?
It wasn’t until she met Lu Lin’s unwavering, determined gaze that Li Yuyan reluctantly decided to give herself—and him—a chance.
Alright, let’s give it a try.
But now, a Terrifying Exotic Beast, as tall as a small hill, had suddenly materialized before her.
"AH—"
Li Yuyan was undoubtedly exceptionally talented, but she was still just a young girl who had never experienced the brutal realities of a battlefield. The moment she registered its presence, she screamed and turned to flee.
The Terrifying Exotic Beast looked down at Li Yuyan, a flicker of mockery in its eyes. It threw back its head and let out a long howl.
"ROAR—"
Watching Li Yuyan flee, Lu Lin sighed inwardly. Even I can’t handle this generation of geniuses.
The exotic beast in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain was one he had specifically created. He had designed it to give Li Yuyan, with her Sound Talent, a close-up encounter, hoping it might help her comprehend the Buddhist Divine Skill, Lion’s Roar. It was the only sound-related skill Lu Lin could think of on short notice.
But Li Yuyan turning tail and running made Lu Lin doubt if she truly possessed a Sound Talent. Looking at her now, anyone would believe she had a Light Talent or a Wind Talent, Lu Lin mused.
In the Star Power Domain, the roar of the Terrifying Exotic Beast thundered, shaking the surroundings. As Li Yuyan ran, she felt the ground beneath her feet tremble, shudder, crack, and crumble under the terrifying sound waves.
Huh? Sound waves?
Li Yuyan suddenly froze. Then, her figure slowly dissipated from the Star Power Domain.
She had comprehended it.
[Star Skill: Lion’s Roar]
[Introduction: The legendary supreme Buddhist Divine Skill. One roar shatters the five viscera; the second roar stops the flow of water; the third roar shakes heaven and earth (active skill)]
[Remark: When encountering injustice, unleash a roar and fight without lifting a hand]
Lu Lin, satisfied with the Star Skill recorded on his eyeball, opened his eyes. He then had the second girl, the one with the Information Talent, enter her Consciousness Universe.
A moment later, this girl also exited, a delighted expression on her face.
[Star Skill: Customer Service]
[Introduction: On the Internet, you are a super customer service, omniscient and omnipotent, able to discover and answer all questions (Transformation skill)]
[Remark: Dear, 007 Customer Service is at your service. I am always here. How can I help you?]
Lu Lin exited his Consciousness Universe, took a deep breath, and gestured for the eagerly waiting boy to enter his Consciousness Universe as well.
Five minutes later, the boy exited the Star Power Domain, having also successfully comprehended a Star Skill.
[Star Skill: Pause]
[Introduction: When you press the pause button, time stops at that second; ten thousand years can pass in that second, or that second can stretch for ten thousand years (active skill)]
[Remark: Cherish life, use wisely]
Finally, it was done. After successfully guiding the three individuals, Lu Lin’s own two Star Veins had also reached completion: Level 2 Perfection, achieved in a single day.
Could there be an easier, more effortless method of cultivation than mine? Absolutely not, he thought.
Lu Lin even silently prayed that he absolutely mustn’t cultivate Star Power for the next two days; it was best to remain in a quiescent state. If he accidentally broke through to the Third Level, he’d genuinely have nowhere to go to cry.
Now, to examine these three special Star Skills.
The Lion’s Roar was fairly conventional. Lu Lin figured this was mainly because he’d watched a lot of television. Though a rare Star Skill, he wasn’t particularly concerned with it.
The second Star Skill, Customer Service, was a transformation skill, and this piqued his interest. Upon activating this Star Skill, the user could merge into the nearest electronic device, using it as a gateway to explore the Internet without limits. This Star Skill essentially allowed for a conversion between a human and an intelligent digital lifeform. Moreover, this Star Skill came with powerful effects, transforming her into an omniscient and omnipotent customer service agent. Anything that happened on the Internet, she would know immediately. If she were to join the Federation’s Internet department or an intelligence agency in the future, she would undoubtedly be a top-tier expert, a master among masters.
The last boy’s Star Skill, Pause, was even more incredible. A Time System Talent! Lu Lin thought. Truly top-tier! The Pause Star Skill certainly didn’t disappoint his terrifying Talent: a second could be ten thousand years, and ten thousand years could be a second. Just imagining it is thrilling!
Lu Lin tested it within his Domain. The effect was astoundingly potent, but the Star Power consumption was also shockingly high. Lu Lin had only activated Pause for about three seconds before the Star Power in his Earth-Type Star Vessel was completely drained, startling him into hastily terminating the Star Skill.
All three Star Skills were the result of Lu Lin’s painstaking guidance. And, naturally, their effects were outstanding.
Bai Jingwei had initially intended for the three geniuses to test and observe Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain. Their unexpected comprehension of Star Skills was a fortunate, unforeseen outcome.
Walking out of the Cultivation Room, Lu Lin’s first words to Bai Jingwei were, "Governor Bai, have I passed?
"Actually, I think it might be more effective to have a high-level Star Core Warrior come in and take a look.
"What do you think?"
