Chapter 436 - 352: Friend, Do You Know Rui Ge?
"Hoo—"
Lu Lin let out a long breath.
After killing four star generals of the eight-armed tribe in succession, his mood finally eased a bit.
He looked around; the forging platforms of these four were still not put away. Lu Lin had grown up used to poverty and couldn’t bear seeing good things go to waste here.
He took away their storage rings and searched their bodies, then finally collected the four forge platforms of different styles.
Apart from these tangible items, Lu Lin also glanced at the corpses of the four.
After death, within a short time the soul body doesn’t leave. Before, Lu Lin had absorbed the spirit bodies of many dead ninth-level star soldiers at Mo Bai Mountain to break through to the spiritual sealed king realm.
Since this was the case, these spirit bodies should not be let go.
Lu Lin opened the Star Power Domain and guided the spirit bodies of the four into it.
But after completing this action, Lu Lin stared at a milky white bead in the Consciousness Universe lost in thought.
Innate Cultivation?
It seems to absorb a thread of innate energy from the body.
Why not? Give it a try?
Lu Lin pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try.
To be honest, the cultivation method of Innate Cultivation was a bit weird, no, a bit evil.
As a United Federal Human, having been taught the principles of good conduct and moral beauty since childhood, Lu Lin had always resisted such slightly evil things.
But this cultivation method was given to him by Sun Xiaorui, and Lu Lin couldn’t refuse it directly.
Originally, he wasn’t planning to cultivate it, but Lu Lin reconsidered, thinking that whether a person is evil or righteous has little to do with the cultivation method or weapons they use.
For example, the broken knife used by Lu Lin was recognized by Chen Buming as the famed weapon of a master named Saber Demon.
Yet with this broken knife, Lu Lin had slain many aliens; how could he be deemed evil.
For cultivation methods or weapons, in themselves there is no distinction between good and evil; if used righteously, they are righteous, if used wickedly, they are wicked.
Innate Cultivation, this strange cultivation method, if used in Lu Lin’s hands, would be righteous, friendly, and peaceful.
After some mental preparation, Lu Lin activated the star power within him, following the method of Innate Cultivation to extract the innate energy from the bodies of the four star generals.
The first choice, of course, was the Water Reversal Star General.
After a moment of cultivation, Lu Lin saw white threads gathering from the Water Reversal’s limbs onto his chest.
The white threads, like silk lines, continuously gathered and formed a white tuft, then a ball of white tuft. As more and more white threads gathered, a small white sphere appeared on the Water Reversal Star General’s chest.
The small sphere spun quickly, accelerating the extraction of white threads from the body of Water Reversal.
Soon, under Lu Lin’s gaze, no more innate energy remained in Water Reversal Star General’s body, leaving his corpse dried up, bones protruding, looking like a skeleton.
The star power in Lu Lin’s body continued to operate along the route of Innate Cultivation.
He extended his finger to touch the gathered white energy ball from Water Reversal’s body.
Upon contact, that ball of innate energy was absorbed by Lu Lin.
Star Power, strengthened.
Spiritual Strength, increased.
Physical Strength, increased.
Earth Talent, enhanced.
All Star Skills, fully strengthened.
And this was just secondary.
Truly shocking to Lu Lin was the unparalleled comfort that came with absorbing innate energy.
It was as if his soul had flown to heaven, feeling ethereal and divine.
Lu Lin wished he could stay in that moment forever.
But soon.
This comfortable feeling came quickly and disappeared even faster.
Before Lu Lin could fully immerse himself in it, it vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Subconsciously, Lu Lin turned his gaze to the other three star generals’ corpses.
The feeling was so exhilarating; the more the better.
Quickly, Lu Lin used the same method to drain the innate energy from the other three star generals as well.
However, compared to the ball of innate energy from Water Reversal, the innate energy within the other three star generals was quite scant.
Especially the novice star general who had just entered the early stage, the innate energy gathered within him was so little that Lu Lin hesitated to absorb it.
Innate energy is the breath a person brings from the womb, and as time goes by and age increases, the innate energy only diminishes.
Unless a martial artist cultivates to the level of star general or above, only then can they retain and slowly increase the amount of innate energy.
Theoretically, the more innate energy in a person’s body, the more potential they have, the longer their lifespan, and the better their future possibilities.
Conversely, the less and weaker they would be.
As an old star general of the eight-armed tribe, Water Reversal had long been absorbing, supplementing, and preserving the innate energy in his body during years of cultivation.
But the newly promoted star general did not have this awareness.
With regret, Lu Lin sighed and wrote four large characters on the four eight-armed tribe corpses he had scavenged beyond recognition.
"Killers, Lu Lin!"
After leaving these words, Lu Lin vanished into the air.
He did not teleport, simply flew through the sky towards the direction where Tou Meng and others were located.
Having just absorbed the innate energy from the four star generals, Lu Lin’s cultivation level had directly jumped from Star Dust First Level to Star Dust Second Level.
Although cultivating Innate Cultivation was quite troublesome, as long as one dared to kill, the cultivation speed wouldn’t be too slow.
Just when Lu Lin saw Tou Meng, Mo Ka, and the others, Tou Meng suddenly turned pale with fright.
"Be careful, Lu Lin is behind us."
Upon speaking, Tou Meng unhesitatingly released a signal to summon nearby star generals to encircle Lu Lin.
This action, of course, was something Lu Lin had instructed Tou Meng to do beforehand.
"What?"
Mo Ka and the other three were also panicked; they had been searching under Tou Meng’s guidance for traces of Lu Lin, only for him to appear behind them now.
If it weren’t for Tou Meng’s quick discovery, they would surely have fallen victim to Lu Lin’s scheme.
Although Lu Lin’s power was merely at the level of a Sixth-level Martial Artist, they all knew that his strength was not as simple as it appeared.
He possessed a Star Skill capable of instantaneously capturing the souls of everyone around.
Even Star Generals and Gods’ projections couldn’t evade such an attack from Lu Lin.
Tou Meng truly proved to be our good brother.
The three of them, Mo Ka and the others, rapidly teleported away, each almost simultaneously releasing the signal they held.
This signaling device was designed for Alien Star Generals to locate Lu Lin with precision upon discovering him, but now it unexpectedly became their chance for survival.
At this moment, they even felt some regret, wishing they hadn’t told other Star Generals during the daytime that they were simply mistaken about noticing anything suspicious regarding Lu Lin.
How they wish those Star Generals had stayed by their side.
But wishing wouldn’t help at this point.
The four of them only hoped Lu Lin’s speed wasn’t a match for their own, allowing them to hold out until other Star Generals arrived for assistance.
However, as the four dispersed and teleported, a thought nagged at them.
It felt like they had missed some crucial piece of information.
The array of signals released one after another excited the Star Generals and Star Soldiers searching for Lu Lin along the boundary.
The daytime signal had already been dismissed as a false alarm. Who would have thought that not even a day later, Lu Lin would truly appear?
To capture Lu Lin, The God of Black Shark had deployed a large number of Star Generals and Star Soldiers within the Mo Bai Mountain area leading to the human territories, offering rewards as if they were free. General Order Pills were provided without limit, and as for lower-tiered Candle Grass Pills and Yin Ming Pills, one could claim them without restriction.
In this not-too-large area, over forty Star Generals and more than two hundred thousand Star Soldiers searched tirelessly day and night.
Now, seeing the signal representing Lu Lin’s presence light up in the black night sky, both Star Generals and Star Soldiers rushed swiftly toward its source.
"Capture Lu Lin."
"Claim the rewards!"
Numerous Star Generals teleported toward the spot.
Star Soldiers at the ninth level took to the skies as well.
Those below the ninth level employed their own methods.
For a moment, in this area searching for Lu Lin, countless alien Star Soldiers moved like a grand animal migration across the Flying Continent’s prairies, a spectacular sight to behold.
Meanwhile, Lu Lin was not the least bit anxious.
He leisurely strolled as if through a courtyard, following an Eight-Armed Clan Star General.
All the while, he pondered the intelligence Tou Meng had shared with him earlier.
This time, to capture Lu Lin, The God of Black Shark had truly spared no expense.
A good forty to fifty Star Generals were gathered around this vicinity.
Tou Meng initially worried that Lu Lin might not be a match for these Star Generals and would eventually meet his end at their hands.
However, after completing the ’luring the tiger away from the mountain’ tactic, Tou Meng quickly received a message from Lu Lin.
Lu Lin asked if there was a way to summon more Alien Star Generals for him to kill.
Tou Meng was utterly shocked.
Could it be that in such a short time, Lu Lin had killed the four from Water Reversal?
They were among the top veteran Star Generals.
Still, Tou Meng didn’t dare to question, nor could he refuse. Lu Lin’s requests must be satisfied.
So, together with Lu Lin, Tou Meng devised several strategies.
Lu Lin naturally hoped to kill as many as possible.
Every bit of power the aliens lost was matched by an increase in human strength.
With each Star General’s death, the Human Race gained a Titled King.
With each ninth level defeated, the Human Race gained another flawlessness.
Moreover, the comforting feeling of absorbing the Innate Qi still lingered in Lu Lin’s heart.
Weakening the aliens while strengthening Lu Lin—a win-win scenario, why not?
That’s why Lu Lin didn’t rush to take action or give chase; instead, he strolled as if on a leisurely walk behind a Star General.
He was waiting.
Waiting for all the Alien Star Generals to gather.
Waiting for a chance to eliminate every last one of them.
Now...
The opportunity had arrived.
With the instantaneous arrival of an Ice Bone Clan Star General, silhouettes of one alien Star General after another began appearing in the sky.
The Yu Feng Clan, Mountain Fire Clan, Withered Wood Clan, Three-eyed Clan, Ghost Wind Tribe, Yanliu Clan, Qingmu Clan, Dark Silk Clan, Eagle Feather Tribe, Crane Feather Clan, Earth-Breaking Tribe...
One strong figure after another appeared before Lu Lin, and among the three Star Generals from the Qingmu Clan, one had previously crossed paths with Lu Lin.
It was the Qing Yu Star General, who had shared similar ideas with Lu Lin back at the Hang Tang City Lord’s mansion.
Lu Lin’s lips curled into a slight smile.
It’s like encountering sweet rain after a prolonged drought or meeting an old acquaintance in a faraway place.
Who would’ve thought that this "Great Summoning Technique" would allow him to see a familiar face.
It seemed learning Xiao Ru’s taught "simplest summoning array" wasn’t essential.
All it took was some brains.
"Lu Lin!"
"Stop running!"
"Come with us obediently."
A Yu Feng Clan Star General suddenly appeared in front of Lu Lin.
With an arrogant demeanor.
But Lu Lin’s words made this Yu Feng Clan Star General fly into a rage.
"Friend, do you know Rui Ge?"
"He should still be floating above Chongnuo City right now, shouldn’t he?"
