Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 835 548: Star Skill Advancement, Heavenly Talent Battle Selection Begins

Elder Li Song's face showed a hint of embarrassment.

Because of his appearance issues, to be honest, he has been teased by Elder Ting Yu countless times, but there was nothing he could do.

As an Elder responsible for new disciples and various matters of the Heavenly Talent War on General Mountain, he had enough reason to maintain such an image.

Otherwise, if he changed to a handsome middle-aged uncle or a fresh-faced young man, who knows how many young female disciples would pursue him.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while and then began to discuss the upcoming Heavenly Talent War.

"This time the preliminary selection method for the Heavenly Talent War is different from before, requiring your Illusion Array. You have no problem with that, right?"

Elder Li Song asked solemnly.

"Of course, no problem."

Elder Ting Yu replied with certainty, "Among these young people, those who can discern the Illusion I set up are one in ten thousand, and even if someone can see through it, I can make minor adjustments at that time."

"It's not a big deal. Have you prepared the treasures that you were supposed to?"

"Of course."

"During these hundred years, I haven't done anything else but specifically collected affiliated treasures from various small worlds. Now I've gathered three thousand pieces, though I don't know how many those little guys can find later."

Elder Li Song said with a hint of sentiment.

After the last Heavenly Talent War ended, he was pulled aside by Lv Potian for a conversation.

He mentioned that in recent tens of thousands of years, the mode of the Heavenly Talent War has remained unchanged, even he found it dull.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Elder Li Song naturally understood it was a sign of dissatisfaction from Lord General regarding his work.

In all truth, ever since he started overseeing the Heavenly Talent War, in these tens of thousands of years, besides occasionally tweaking the rules for the Top 32 battles, Elder Li Song hadn't made any changes; even Lv Potian found it tedious, as did others of General Mountain.

Hence, having learned this, Elder Li Song turned to Elder Ting Yu, who among the seven elders was closest to him, hoping to make some changes in the upcoming Heavenly Talent War.

This time's preliminary selection of the Heavenly Talent War was designed entirely according to Elder Ting Yu's suggestions.

Moreover, not just the preliminary selection, if the preliminary shows good results, then the subsequent Top 32 battles would adopt this mode too.

This would allow the heavenly talents to compete in illusions, minimizing risk while clearly highlighting each one's character traits, which would undoubtedly aid in future distribution and arrangements.

Of course, Elder Ting Yu had her own intentions.

Soul Power cultivation was not well-regarded in Longyuan World, nor was it effective.

It's not that those who cultivate Soul Power aren't strong; on the contrary, martial artists who cultivate Soul Power are incredibly powerful.

However, there was one issue: when the martial artist's ability was relatively weak, the improvement in Soul Power was extremely slow; focusing on Soul Power cultivation seemed time-consuming and unproductive, with few, except those extraordinarily talented, managing to take the Soul Power path far.

But once martial artists reach their own limits, then cultivating Soul Power has great supplementary effects on ability.

For this very reason, young cultivators in Longyuan World during their golden cultivation period do not choose Soul Power.

To them, Soul Power cultivation is something favored by old men; young people should be ambitious and opt for direct confrontation.

This also led to Soul Power cultivation inheriting difficulties.

Elder Ting Yu was the same.

Because she shared similar experiences, she knew how much early Soul Power cultivation could benefit a martial artist's future.

This time, she was intent on discovering a few good prospects during the Heavenly Talent War to nurture them.

Not necessarily to have disciples specialize in Soul Power cultivation but at least integrate both Soul Power and Star Power paths.

This explains why she was so dedicated to participating in this Heavenly Talent War.

The two discussed for a long time, ensuring all details were confirmed.

Elder Li Song handed over the three thousand treasures he collected over the century to Elder Ting Yu, who then went to set up the illusion.

Time flowed day by day.

A tense atmosphere permeated General Mountain's upper and lower levels.

Countless heavenly talents were eagerly waiting for the contest, hoping to defeat their opponents and shine.

Lu Lin was also actively preparing.

However, his preparations were different from others.

First, he guided a cultivator who failed the promotion within a month's time to comprehend a Star Skill, successfully helping the other break through the promotion to the Star Emperor Boundary.

The other expressed profound gratitude, offering Lu Lin a labor fee of 50,000 Starstones, along with a thank-you offering of one million Starstones.

Initially, Lu Lin rejected the thank-you offering.

The other did it because he had the resources; not everyone else does.

Should everyone start believing Lu Lin was someone who adored wealth, leaving such an impression could be detrimental to Lu Lin's future.

But the other said those Starstones were earned bit by bit over the years of failing promotions.

Now handing those Starstones to Lu Lin also represented a new beginning.

After many attempts to refuse, he reluctantly accepted.

Yet, the next day he handed the Starstones to Hu Zeng, instructing them to be distributed among the Fierce Tiger Legion's seventy thousand soldiers.
