Chapter 411 - 336: Sun Xiaorui: I Have Awakened
In Lu Lin’s army tent.
At this moment, only Lu Lin and Zhang Xianzhi were present.
Lu Lin handed Zhang Xianzhi a cup of water, sat beside him, and asked, "Teacher Zhang, how did you come to this Battlefield Secret Realm?"
After the celebration of the sprint class’s trial ended, Lu Lin couldn’t wait to drag Zhang Xianzhi back here.
He was extremely curious about Zhang Xianzhi’s experiences during this time.
"Ah, I’m actually a bit confused myself."
After being slain by Gan Yu that day, Zhang Xianzhi’s consciousness was cast into darkness.
He no longer had any awareness.
But he didn’t know how much time had passed, and in his dazed state, he suddenly felt a summoning.
At that time, Zhang Xianzhi didn’t have much consciousness or memory, only knowing to follow that call to the place where Bao Hu had self-destructed.
Then, his spirit was drawn into a strange space.
Slowly, his consciousness awakened, and his memory returned.
While he was still puzzled, he received a message from Bao Hu.
Instructing him to enter the Battlefield Secret Realm.
But when Zhang Xianzhi looked for Bao Hu here, he could no longer find any information about him.
Feeling helpless, Zhang Xianzhi could only follow Bao Hu’s arrangement to enter the Battlefield Secret Realm.
Though he no longer had a physical body, his Star Power cultivation and spiritual strength remained.
Even though he had just broken through to the titled king realm not long ago, his spiritual strength reached 1000 points, and his Star Power surpassed the limits of the Star Dust Realm, allowing him to enter the Battlefield Secret Realm smoothly.
Upon entering, he, like Lu Lin before, was entirely at a loss.
He could only register his information with a few newly joined disciples and then join Fan Hong’s ranks.
With his fierce appearance, Zhang Xianzhi was assigned to the reconnaissance team under Fan Hong, where, after initial maladaptation, he obtained a Star Dust stage cultivation method from the team leader.
On the first night of cultivation, Zhang Xianzhi reached the Star Dust Triple layer.
Afterward, his cultivation advanced rapidly, reaching the Star Dust Ninth Layer in less than half a month.
Just as he was worrying about advancing to the Star Core Realm.
The reconnaissance team received orders from Fan Hong to explore the surrounding area, leaving Zhang Xianzhi no choice but to set off with the team leader and other brothers.
In the wild, they encountered Xue Rongdao’s reconnaissance team, and a battle ensued.
At that moment, despite being at an advantage, several of Zhang Xianzhi’s comrades suddenly weakened and fell, killed by the enemy.
The situation took a drastic turn for the worse.
Zhang Xianzhi and his team thought they had been poisoned and hurriedly retreated on slender horses with sharp horns.
The enemy pursued relentlessly, and during the escape, two more brothers were killed by the enemy.
Filled with rage, Zhang Xianzhi broke through during the fight, advancing to the Star Core Period and completely annihilating the enemy’s team members.
However, what awaited him was not the welcome of the team leader and comrades, but their battle knives.
Zhang Xianzhi, though experienced with the blade’s edge while working on exotic battlefield affairs for the Human Federation, had never been betrayed by teammates before.
It was then he realized he had been played.
The so-called hunted scenes were all orchestrated by the team leader.
He had long been bought off by Xue Rongdao’s men, using this reconnaissance mission as a cover to guide the enemy.
A definite traitor.
Zhang Xianzhi, though not of the Wild Blade Clan nor particularly inclined, had not received favor from Sun Xiaorui, nor did he see Xue Rongdao as particularly evil.
To him, all the fighting in the Battlefield Secret Realm was unrelated to him.
However, he couldn’t tolerate betrayal from his teammates.
He and Bao Hu had been personally protecting Lu Lin before; why would the Alien Race go through the trouble of opening two spatial channels, just to take Lu Lin away?
He naturally knew it must have been caused by a traitor within the Human Federation.
Lu Lin had the unprecedented ability to help Level 9 Martial Artists reach the title of King through guiding Star Skills.
The Alien Race certainly wouldn’t let Lu Lin develop with the Human Federation unchecked.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhi, with new and old grievances combined, slayed the team leader and all others at the cost of grave injuries, then hid away in a secluded spot.
He initially intended to hide in the mountains, where no one would find him, but over a month later, Fan Hong sent people loudly calling for him, saying Lu Lin was looking for him.
Upon hearing this shout, Zhang Xianzhi’s spirit was instantly invigorated.
He followed those sent to find him and returned, then safely reached the main camp.
This time, Fan Hong came to the main camp to receive further instructions and brought Zhang Xianzhi along.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Lu Lin and his team returning from North Scorching Mountain.
"Teacher Zhang, your cultivation level now must be beyond just entering the Star Core Period, right?"
"Mm."
Zhang Xianzhi nodded. He didn’t know why, but ever since entering this Battlefield Secret Realm, his cultivation wouldn’t stop rising.
He couldn’t stop it.
It was like this before in the Star Dust Realm, and now in the Star Core Realm, the speed of his cultivation advancement hasn’t slowed a bit.
In just over a month, he unexpectedly reached the peak of the Star Core stage.
Just a step away from reaching the Star Universe Phase.
"Lu Lin, what do you say is the reason for this, the cultivation is advancing too fast, it’s frightening."
Zhang Xianzhi said, showing a trace of helplessness on his face.
It’s not that he’s humble-bragging, but it’s genuinely too fast.
He had indirectly inquired with many about Star Dust stage and Star Core stage cultivation situations, and those with good talent usually take three months to half a year to advance a level.
This is for those with good talent; for those with lesser talent, they might be unable to advance at the peak of the Star Dust Realm, or after entering the Star Core Period, the pace of cultivation advances greatly slows.
In the Wild Blade Clan over the years, they have seen many geniuses, but only Sun Xiaorui could consistently advance a step every three months to half a year; others inevitably slow down as they progress.
"Teacher Zhang, I might know a bit about this."
Lu Lin conveyed the conclusions he reached with Sun Xiaorui, Chen Danqing, Lv Susu, and others to Zhang Xianzhi.
Zhang Xianzhi’s face suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Really?"
"Our Federation people, each born with a Star Core, is actually the same as the Star Core cultivated in this Battlefield Secret Realm?"
"Doesn’t this mean that Federation people can all be promoted to the Star Core Realm?"
Lu Lin nodded.
"Teacher Zhang, this statement is correct, but I don’t know the specific situation yet. I need to inquire about the current progress of the experiment with Senior Lv."
As Lu Lin spoke, he took out a Message Conch from the Storage Ring.
On the Federation side, someone was on standby 24 hours a day. As soon as Lu Lin’s message was sent, it was received by Cha Yuan.
"Director Cha, how is the progress of our current experiment?"
"Not well."
Cha Yuan explained the recent experimental situation.
They had found some talented soldiers from the Federation army to cultivate Star Core Period cultivation methods, but whether it was first level, second level, or seventh, eighth, ninth levels, they couldn’t cultivate successfully.
They knew every word in the secret book, but they just couldn’t cultivate.
They even found some ordinary people who had never cultivated, signed confidentiality agreements with them to cultivate.
But still, there was no progress.
"Director Cha, I may have found the method for humans to cultivate."
"What?"
Cha Yuan was shocked and began contacting Chen Danqing, Lv Susu, Zhao Lei, and others through the personal terminal.
In an instant, everyone teleported next to Cha Yuan.
"What’s going on?"
"Old Cha, is it true?"
Everyone loudly asked as soon as they arrived.
"Hmm, don’t rush, listen to what Lu Lin has to say."
"Lu Lin, now that everyone is here, you can speak."
Lu Lin didn’t expect the Federation bosses to act so quickly. He glanced at Zhang Xianzhi beside him before recounting Zhang Xianzhi’s experiences during this period.
"Director Cha, now Teacher Zhang has a ready method for Star Dust Realm cultivation. If you can, you can try it directly."
"Wait, Lu Lin, which Teacher Zhang are you talking about?"
Lv Susu’s eyes changed, she continuously deduced but still couldn’t figure out who Teacher Zhang was.
"Oh, it’s Teacher Zhang Xianzhi."
"Zhang Xianzhi?"
"Impossible, wasn’t Zhang Xianzhi sacrificed?"
"Yeah, at that time above Food God City, there were huge blood clouds, blood rain."
"Lv Susu, do you remember, there were two blood rains at the time?"
The federation people were all tremendously surprised.
How is Zhang Xianzhi still alive and meeting Lu Lin in the Battlefield Secret Realm?
It’s best for Zhang himself to explain this matter. Lu Lin handed the Message Conch to him and sensed Sun Xiaorui’s presence.
Sun Xiaorui, what’s she coming to find him for at this time?
Lu Lin opened the tent curtain and saw Sun Xiaorui standing not far away, motionless.
However, her aura had changed somewhat.
Cold.
Colder than ice.
Colder than cold.
Seeing Sun Xiaorui in this state, Lu Lin couldn’t help but stop in his tracks.
"Sister Sun?"
"Hmm."
Sun Xiaorui responded lightly, but her face and body still exuded a chilling aura.
"Sister, do you have something to say?"
Seeing Sun Xiaorui silent for a long time, Lu Lin asked.
It’s really strange, he clearly saw Sun Xiaorui in the morning, but now within just a morning, her aura has changed so drastically.
It’s like she’s a completely different person.
"Yes!"
Sun Xiaorui took two steps forward, stood in front of Lu Lin, and stared at him as she slowly spoke.
"I have awakened."
"Awakened?"
Lu Lin was taken aback; he thought Sun Xiaorui had awakened a talent like the Federation people, but she had already reached the peak of the Star Battle Realm, how could she awaken?
Then what...
"My past life has awakened."
"However, for now, I can still control it."
"During this time, I must stay with you at all times."
"Until I defeat her."
Sun Xiaorui’s eyes were cold, showing an inexplicable expression.
"Or, until she defeats me."
