CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 343: INNATE CULTIVATION

The day dawned.

Lu Lin walked out of Sun Xiaorui’s tent, full of energy.

Sun Xiaorui said that after this dual cultivation, she wouldn’t have any issues for at least three to five years.

In fact, during the process earlier, Sun Xiaorui even absorbed quite a bit of the princess’s consciousness.

Now, she needed to process and absorb it.

Similarly, as an important force in dual cultivation, Lu Lin also gained considerable benefits.

Star Core Level 9 Peak.

Just one step away from breaking through to the Titled King realm.

Even though it’s his second breakthrough, Lu Lin still felt extremely anxious.

This time, how should he prepare his promotion speech?

Quickly arriving at his tent, Lu Lin sat cross-legged on the ground, with star power constantly fluctuating around him.

Wave after wave of star power crashed against his Eyeball Star Core like tides.

It was time.

Lu Lin’s form remained completely still.

His aura underwent a dramatic change.

Finally, he was promoted to the Titled King realm.

However, when it came time to deliver the promotion speech, Lu Lin suddenly had a stroke of genius and scrapped all the plans he had prepared.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me."

Indeed, Lu Lin used the same speech as when he first ascended to the title of King in the spiritual domain.

...

Saturn.

Green City.

Lu Lin’s dad was driving the car, with Lu Lin’s mom, Meng Yu, sitting beside him.

Since Lu Lin last gave them a significant amount of funds to start a shooting range and a painting studio, their daily commute was like this.

But then, a voice rang in their ears.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me."

"Again?"

"Who is this, idly mimicking our Lu Lin’s voice all day long," Meng Yu grumbled discontentedly.

"Mimicking? I think it might just be our son having been promoted," Lu Ping remarked.

"How is that possible? He should’ve been promoted last time,"

"However, that brat Lu Lin has been promoted to Titled King without even telling us,"

"And he’s playing this trick, already a grown-up, he should be saying something nice and contributing to the federation," Meng Yu said with dissatisfaction.

"Don’t worry about it, children have their own paths."

"Didn’t the federation notify all Level 6 and above martial artists to join some selection a few days ago?"

"I wonder if our son will go."

"What is he going for? They’re looking for Level 6; he’s been promoted to Titled King,"

Lu Ping said with a smile he couldn’t suppress.

His son had already been promoted to Titled King, becoming one of the top combatants in the Human Federation, filling him and Meng Yu with immense pride.

...

At the registration place.

As Guan Yue resolutely signed her name, she felt as if she had released some heavy burden.

From a young age, she hadn’t been very interested in fighting and killing.

But this time, she chose to participate in the federation’s Level 6 Martial Artist Selection Plan against her family’s advice.

"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"

The statement of Lu Lin’s promotion echoed in her ears, making her pause, similar to the surprised expressions in the eyes of various young participants nearby.

This voice sounded like Lu Lin.

No, it was Lu Lin.

Guan Yue was naturally familiar with Lu Lin’s voice.

However, this voice had already sounded once two months ago.

It was precisely this voice that finally convinced Guan Yue to decide to participate in the selection for survival.

But having it happen again, what’s the deal?

...

East Forest Continent.

Bai Jingwei, who was in a meeting, heard this voice and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

This voice was indeed familiar to him.

Two months ago, Lu Lin’s voice had reverberated in the ears of every human within the federation, at that time Bai Jingwei even celebrated with a small toast for the birth of a new King.

But just two months later, Lu Lin had been promoted again, which left people a bit puzzled.

Could it be that there was an issue with the rules of star power in the heavens and earth?

"Okay, Xiao Zheng, continue talking about how many people have registered for the Slave Soldier selection on Saturn this time."

"Governor, now 7,000 people have registered, and after information verification, all 7,000 meet the registration rules, with male martial artists accounting for 76.82%..."

...

"So many people registered?"

Chen Danqing held the data of the Slave Soldier selection registration from the Human Federation and was somewhat surprised.

At the start of promoting this event, he had already insisted on emphasizing the dangers and unpredictability of this selection.

Even if selected, there could be a future where returning to the federation might be impossible.

A Level 6 Martial Artist is already considered high-end within the federation’s martial artist system and can at least serve as a City Guard in any city.

Yet, over 200,000 people registered in the month since the start of the registration.

Eight major planets, fewer planets have five to six thousand applicants, while those like Blue Star and Mars have nearly twenty thousand.

Not to mention the alien planets dominated by Star Core Warriors; universities, companies, and institutions, where those who reach level six are countless.

The whole federation has only about a million level six martial artists, accumulated over a thousand years.

Yet this time, there are actually 200,000 people registering.

"Go ahead with the selection, remove those who are only children in their families, under 50 years old, working at important positions, have family members who sacrificed for the federation..."

"This time, we..."

"Hey, hey, hey, can you hear me?"

Lu Lin’s promotion proclamation interrupted Chen Danqing’s arrangements.

It made Chen Danqing pause instantly.

Lu Lin?

Promoted to Titled King?

No!

It’s Lu Lin, who has been promoted to Titled King?

This time, it should be his Star Power cultivation that advanced, right.

However, this speed, isn’t it a bit too fast.

From last June when his awakening talent manifested, after becoming a Star Core Warrior, Lu Lin has been progressing like a rocket, with seemingly no obstacles or bottlenecks restricting him.

Until now, it has merely been just over eight months, yet he has been promoted to Titled King.

Fortunately, he has already been promoted before, otherwise Chen Danqing would have been even more surprised.

...

In Food God City.

Lv Susu, upon hearing Lu Lin’s advancement proclamation, couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile.

This guy Lu Lin, has already been promoted to Titled King and could stand at the same level as them, yet still acts so childish.

Still saying "hey, hey, hey, can you hear me".

However, Lv Susu turned to glance at Li Qingyun beside her, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Many years ago, Li Qingyun also advanced without any hindrance.

But ever since reaching the Level 9 Unblemished Realm, her cultivation has stagnated.

Lv Susu tried many methods but couldn’t solve this issue.

If only she knew of Sun Xiaorui’s situation specifically, she would have known that almost every reincarnated princess would face this problem.

If they haven’t encountered their Chosen One, then they can only wait for the consciousness of their previous life to awaken on its own.

To solve it, one must find the Chosen One.

Previously, when Li Qingyun stayed at Lu Lin’s side for a period, there wasn’t even a hint of cultivation improvement.

Seems like Lv Susu’s calculations can be inaccurate at times too.

...

"Oh, finally Star Dust Realm?"

Sun Xiaorui felt Lu Lin’s fluctuations, instantly teleported into the tent.

"Mm, senior sister, how do you feel."

"Don’t ask me."

After dual cultivation, Sun Xiaorui no longer wore face armor in front of Lu Lin, her beauty suffocating one’s soul, even after staring all night, seeing her again left Lu Lin thrilled.

"You should be able to cultivate the Star Dust stage cultivation method now, right."

"Just as well, I found a suitable cultivation method from ’her’ memories, you can try it out."

Sun Xiaorui said, not waiting for Lu Lin’s reply, pointed her finger as streams of information quickly entered Lu Lin’s Consciousness Universe, transforming into a book-like form.

"For now, I can only see the cultivation content for the first three layers, but it should be enough for you to cultivate for a while."

"Adjust yourself first, come back to my tent tonight... for dual cultivation."

After speaking, Sun Xiaorui blushed slightly and then left Lu Lin’s tent.

"Dual cultivation again?"

Lu Lin’s face turned bitter.

He previously thought dual cultivation was a great opportunity, willingly agreeing to Sun Xiaorui’s request.

In the end, dual cultivation is exactly as literal.

Two-person cultivation.

Not a hint of ambiguity.

Sun Xiaorui entering the tent and removing battle armor was merely part of her living habits.

Throughout the dual cultivation, Lu Lin was like a tool man.

Let Sun Xiaorui’s Star Power circulate within him.

Then, she absorbed back that Star Power infused with Lu Lin’s aura.

Such repetition, this process wasn’t challenging for Lu Lin, but somehow in his heart, he felt a tiny bit of disappointment.

Confirmed to be single.

Sighing, Lu Lin recalled the cultivation method Sun Xiaorui just gave him.

"Innate Cultivation".

This was a cultivation method Sun Xiaorui collected in her previous life, not top-tier but was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Innate Cultivation emphasizes the unity of innate essence, subtle and restrained demeanor.

No matter what cultivation realm is reached, others won’t perceive one’s realm.

This is somewhat similar to the passive effect of Lu Lin’s Perceive Star Skill.

After learning from Zhang Xianzhi, Sun Xiaorui, and the Federation Martial Arts Research Team, Lu Lin wasn’t unfamiliar with the cultivation methods of Longyuan World.

Even so, he realized after reading Innate Cultivation’s method over a dozen times.

Innate Cultivation wasn’t designed for adults to cultivate.

If possible, the best time to start practicing is right as the child is born.

A child born from the mother possesses innate qi.

With subsequent breathing and consumption, the innate qi within will decrease, most children by the age of twelve have their innate qi completely dissipated.

But, Sun Xiaorui giving Lu Lin such a cultivation method, does it mean Lu Lin still possesses innate qi within him?

Lu Lin wondered, calmed himself, and began cultivating the Innate Cultivation method.
