CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 319: MR. GAO, DON’T MOVE

Lu Lin really didn’t expect that after the Star Dust Realm, there would be so many more realms.

Star Dust, Star Core, Star Universe, Star Battle, Star Lord, Star King, Star Emperor, Star God.

If we add the Star God from legends, whom no one has ever attained, that makes ten realms.

Sun Xiaorui of the Star Battle Realm could restrain Lu Lin by sheer presence alone, so those stronger must have terrifying power.

Perhaps, moving mountains and filling seas would also be simple.

Such people have surpassed Lu Lin’s understanding of what it means to be human and can be called gods.

While Lu Lin was still in shock, Sun Xiaorui didn’t rush him and waited beside him, meanwhile running the Star Power within her body, using the opportunity to cultivate.

It took a long time for Lu Lin to come to his senses.

"Sister Sun, then, can you give me a Star Core Realm cultivation method, and I’ll take it back to try and promote it."

"If it succeeds, you will be our great benefactor."

Lu Lin said.

Although he couldn’t go back for now, he could use the Message Conch to transmit the cultivation method to Lv Susu, who could arrange for trial cultivation to see if humans could truly cultivate the Star Core Period method, as Sun Xiaorui claimed.

"Well, I just happen to have a basic cultivation method; you can take it back and try it if you have the chance."

"By the way, didn’t you say you have some compatriots in your Soul Sealing Space Crystal?"

Sun Xiaorui suddenly remembered.

In Longyuan World, the proportion of abandoned people is very low, and it’s rarely heard of that there’s a large number of such people, whether within the Xi Chu Empire or outside.

After years of cultivation, almost everyone in Longyuan can cultivate.

To be honest, Lu Lin was tempted by Sun Xiaorui’s proposal.

The more than a thousand people in the Soul Sealing Space Crystal have been inside for almost two months. Lu Lin knows very well what it’s like inside the Crystal.

At first, people might explore out of curiosity, but after a while, seeing the same things over and over becomes boring.

If they were let out, they might even have a chance to experience the scenery of Longyuan World.

"Sister Sun, let’s talk about this when I return to the Main Camp."

"In the North Scorching Mountain, those people’s abilities aren’t sufficient, and there might be danger."

"Yes, that works too."

Sun Xiaorui nodded, for a moment not sure how to proceed.

The Star Power within her body was continuously running, and after a few days of resumed cultivation, Sun Xiaorui faintly sensed the feeling of touching the Late Stage of the Star Battle.

If she could stay by Lu Lin’s side and keep cultivating, she could possibly reach the Late Stage, or even the Star Battle Peak.

As for breaking through from Star Battle to Star Lord, Sun Xiaorui didn’t dare even to think about it.

If she truly broke through to Star Lord, given her age, she could even earn the title of genius should she enter a first-class sect.

In the Wild Blade Clan, she wouldn’t need to undergo further trials and could directly be considered as a sect candidate.

Once Li Xiaoci was no longer in charge of sect affairs, Sun Xiaorui would naturally become the Sect Leader.

However, Sun Xiaorui didn’t dare to think about this, nor did she dare to think about it too much.

If she had previously considered keeping Lu Lin by her side, now, understanding Lu Lin’s origins, Sun Xiaorui knew she definitely couldn’t do such a thing.

"Well..."

"Well..."

After a long silence, both simultaneously began to speak.

Seeing the mutual embarrassment, both Sun Xiaorui and Lu Lin spoke once more.

"Sister Sun, you go first."

"Lu Lin, you go first."

Two times in a row, they spoke in unison, causing Sun Xiaorui’s face to blush slightly.

This is a bit too coincidental.

"Sister Sun, you better go first."

Lu Lin said with a smile.

"Alright."

"I’m curious. Our Wild Blade Clan is affiliated with the Xi Chu Empire and located in the western part of the Longyuan World. We don’t have many small worlds here. How did you find our entrance formation and enter the Battlefield Secret Realm?"

Lu Lin couldn’t answer this question.

While Sun Xiaorui was curious, Lu Lin was actually even more curious.

The Wild Blade Clan in the grand Longyuan World occupies only a small place. Although there is a sect leader who is a Star King Expert, it’s not enough to justify setting up as an Exotic Battlefield.

In the eyes of most people in Longyuan World, small worlds, apart from some chances, minerals, and treasures, are usually overlooked. As for their cultivators, even those who occasionally reach the Star Dust Realm have exhausted their potential, with no value for further cultivation.

Across Longyuan World, numerous organizations acquire true treasures from small worlds.

People.

People of various bloodlines, exotic beasts of different appearances, plants, and gemstones never seen in Longyuan—these are things that those with a penchant for collecting treasures enjoy.

"Alright, it seems I’ll need to find some time to ask my master about this."

"Lu Lin, what were you about to say earlier?"

"Sister Sun, although I can’t release those compatriots, could you give me some food?"

"Most of my compatriots are ordinary people, and while some are Martial Artists, they don’t eat much."

Lu Lin said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sure, there’s no problem. I’ll bring it to you tomorrow."

"It’s getting late. You should go back soon and make sure every student’s safety is ensured. I’ll check on your situation daily."

"Don’t worry, Sister Sun, I will definitely do my best."

Lu Lin replied with a cupped fist.

As Sun Xiaorui’s figure disappeared, he finally began to savor the situation.

Earlier at the meeting in the school, didn’t the other teachers all say that Sun Xiaorui wasn’t particularly interested in the work at school?

Even when faced with suggestions from the school, she mostly shelved them and ignored them.

So why did she become so active now that she’s taken a group out?

Could it be that she’s responsible for those junior brothers under her?

Protecting the offspring of the junior brothers so they can wholeheartedly serve her?

It seems that although Sun Xiaorui is somewhat cold in nature, she is not a simple person.

Of course, a simple person couldn’t stand out among the many sect disciples, win the Sect Leader’s favor, or become one of the only seven Direct Disciples left in the Battlefield Secret Realm.

Without thinking further, Lu Lin returned to the camp.

That day the children first experienced fear, injury, and being besieged by demon beasts, and then quickly learned many useful things from Lu Lin, like how to simply identify edible plants in the wild.

In the evening, after washing away the day’s fatigue, they held a Bonfire Evening Party organized by Lu Lin.

When Lu Lin returned, many children were already sprawled on the ground, snoring loudly.

Exhausted them.

Lu Lin had over a dozen teaching assistants, with some responsible for cleaning and tidying up the camp, while others needed to set up tents, carrying the children back inside each tent to rest.

Even emperors wouldn’t neglect their soldiers to the point of hunger.

Lu Lin intended to properly educate the children in his class, naturally providing for their eating, drinking, and rest.

After a full two hours of work, the chaotic camp was finally restored to order.

Rows of colorful tents were neatly aligned, all thanks to Sun Xiaorui’s usual strict demands on her disciples.

"Teacher Lu, we’re finally done for today. What should we plan for tomorrow?"

Gao Shu asked as he sat next to Lu Lin.

They had watched and empathized with Lu Lin leading the students into North Zhishan and through the training process today.

From initial confusion and doubt to later understanding and admiration.

Although the children might not realize the changes happening to them, the teachers couldn’t miss it.

Before, the students in the class were just kids.

Every day, their minds focused on playing, causing trouble, and being mischievous.

They never realized they were about to join the Wild Blade Clan and become official outer sect disciples.

But just in this one short day.

The teachers could clearly see the students’ transformations.

They still loved playing, causing a fuss, and being mischievous, but from their eyes and actions, it was evident that the children had become qualified outer sect disciples after experiencing this training.

Their eyes were steadfast, their behavior proper.

When encountering problems, they would think for themselves and actively solve them.

"Tomorrow, huh? Tomorrow we’ll take the children out for some exploration."

"But, Mr. Gao, Mr. Zhou, are you two up for it?"

"Do you need me to come along?"

Lu Lin asked casually.

"We need it, of course we do."

Zhou Chang, sitting on Lu Lin’s other side, quickly responded.

"Lu Lin, this North Zhishan is incredibly scary. We heard about it before coming, but didn’t take it seriously."

"We thought, even if it is terrifying, it shouldn’t pose much of an issue for us as inner sect disciples."

"If I had your skills, then maybe I wouldn’t be afraid."

Now that the students were asleep, Zhou Chang wasn’t worried about revealing his shortcomings.

To be honest, when Lu Lin led the team into North Zhishan in the morning, both Gao Shu and Zhou Chang’s hearts were in their throats.

They thought Lu Lin was crazy.

"Haha, I don’t have any special skills, just like I told the students, I’ve just observed the surroundings more, and coincidentally learned some knowledge about demon beasts."

Saying this, Lu Lin felt a bit sentimental.

He definitely didn’t want to go through the first stage of the Secret Realm in Bu Ming Villa again.

It was truly heart-wrenching and tormenting.

After chatting for a while, Lu Lin then instructed the teaching assistants to guard around the camp, preventing nocturnal demon beasts from attacking the students, and took Zhou Chang and Gao Shu around the vicinity.

They familiarized themselves with the route in advance, so as not to face any issues as teachers leading the exploration tomorrow, which might make the students doubt the teachers’ abilities.

"Keep walking forward here, and we’re at the territory of the Ancient Pine Tiger from yesterday."

"The Ancient Pine Tiger is a force to be reckoned within this area. Despite only having the strength of the Star Dust Realm Peak, its powerful flesh deters stronger demon beasts, and weaker ones can’t resist it."

"Actually, when we entered North Zhishan, I was also nervous, fearing any unexpected incident."

"Luckily, the range of North Zhishan is big enough, and despite walking so far, we’re still in the outer region."

"Wait."

Lu Lin was chatting casually with the two when he suddenly stopped Gao Shu’s actions.

"Mr. Gao, don’t move."

Lu Lin’s voice startled Gao Shu, and he froze immediately, "Lu Lin, what’s going on?"

Lu Lin didn’t speak, but cautiously came behind Gao Shu, looking at the small snake on his back.

Zhou Chang, standing behind Gao Shu, didn’t notice at first, but when he followed Lu Lin’s gaze, he was nearly scared out of his wits.

Hundred, hundred... Hundred-venom Belly-tip Snake.

There was a thumb-length, chopstick-thick black and white striped Hundred-venom Belly-tip Snake lying on Gao Shu’s back.
