Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 865 560: Unraveling the Mystery, Preliminary Selection Ends (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)

Lu Lin's Spiritual Strength had reached the peak of the Third Transformation after previous efforts in cultivation.

Still, his means of utilizing Spiritual Strength were quite rudimentary.

The most he could do was use some of the offensive skills he learned from the Lingtian Secret Skill.

But this time, with the issue of whether Guan Qiao might not have died confronting him, Lu Lin had to exert all his life's strength to investigate the cause.

Beside him, Wang Chou and Liu Yuxin were masters adept in this field. Though they couldn't be of much help, they at least wouldn't do anything to interrupt him.

Lu Lin probed a thread of Spiritual Strength into the corpse of Guan Qiao on the ground to examine it closely.

Guan Qiao's internal organs and blood were all vivid and lifelike.

But Lu Lin still sensed something unreal.

Yes, exactly unreal.

Over the years, Lu Lin had killed countless demon beasts, with many having perished at his hands.

Even without deliberately observing and remembering, Lu Lin was quite familiar with the state of these demon beasts at the time of their death.

Yet, he had never encountered a situation like Guan Qiao's.

The corpse of Guan Qiao in front of him had every detail extremely realistic—the speed of blood flow, the dust kicked up on the ground, even the expression frozen in the moment of death.

There were no issues at all.

But this still made Lu Lin feel something unusual.

For now, he hadn't found anything wrong though.

Search.

Explore.

Investigate.

Reflect.

Ever since Guan Qiao's death, Lu Lin had been crouched on the ground for as long as two hours.

Yet Lu Lin was still completely puzzled.

He genuinely had no clue.

Even a moment of doubt arose in his heart.

This was just a simple battle. Why was he so hung up on it?

But at this moment, he couldn't give up on it either.

So he continued.

After probing for an unknown duration, Liu Yuxin beside him couldn't help but speak.

"Lu Lin, there's roughly half a time slot left. This Preliminary Selection will soon be over. Should we distribute these attached treasures first?"

Lu Lin withdrew from probing and sighed, "So soon."

He stood up, glanced at the approximately four hundred attached treasures beside him, and after pondering for a moment, said, "Liu Yuxin, leave me fifty to a hundred pieces. You can take the rest."

"What? How could that be?"

Of course, Liu Yuxin wasn't willing.

Among the total of over four hundred attached treasures, indeed half belonged to her, but the rest mostly were brought back by Lu Lin and Wang Chou.

Wang Chou, being the foundation of Wan Chong Zhenren of Fantasy Mountain, naturally didn't need these things.

It's already quite good that he could walk out of General Mountain safely. Taking so many attached treasures out would be like slapping the face of numerous Elders of General Mountain.

For these over four hundred attached treasures, Liu Yuxin originally thought of splitting them evenly with Lu Lin.

But now Lu Lin actually said he only wanted over a hundred pieces. Though this quantity could place him in the Top 32, it would definitely rank quite low.

"Just split them this way, trust me."

Of course, Lu Lin couldn't tell Liu Yuxin that of the three thousand treasures, he had already squandered over fourteen hundred pieces.

If I took too many out, it'd surely warrant some questioning.

Though people might find out eventually, for now, if I could evade it for one day, I would.

As a newly admitted disciple, having participated in a competition only to squander treasures prepared by Elder Li Song, seemed somewhat inappropriate.

Liu Yuxin wanted to argue, but under Lu Lin's gaze, she closed her mouth.

The three hundred plus treasures should allow her to advance smoothly to the top five, or even top three.

Before the Preliminary Selection started, Liu Yuxin had also noticed those young masters participating in the competition.

Among them, Yue Dao and Mo Yiqiang were not weak.

Besides, there were several others ranked in the second tier whose abilities were not weak either.

She, not being an offensive-type Heavenly Talent, although her combat power was also notable, couldn't compare to Lu Lin, Yue Dao, Mo Yiqiang, the three of them.

Moreover, she also had to be placed ahead of Lu Lin, which made her a bit uneasy.

After a brief chat, Lu Lin realized time was running out. He looked down again at Guan Qiao's corpse with mixed feelings.

Clearly, he had deduced the final conclusion, but why couldn't he verify it?

Could it be that the previous deduction was actually wrong?

Impossible!

Then where did the problem lie?

Lu Lin alone fell into deep contemplation again.

Beside him, Wang Chou and Liu Yuxin didn't urge much.

To become a strong person, once you identify something, you persist regardless of right or wrong.

For everyone's long lifespan, even taking a few detours is only a matter of a few to ten plus years.

Especially Wang Chou, who had been lingering in the Star Lord Stage for thousands of years.

Since Lu Lin wanted to investigate, let him keep investigating.

Time passed by, minute by minute, second by second.

But Lu Lin still hadn't found any clues.

Guan Qiao's corpse lay right in front of him, yet he was helpless.

This feeling made Lu Lin really itch.

"Lu Lin, we have to leave this place soon. Why don't we dig a pit and bury Guan Qiao?"

"After all, he was a Martial Artist. Just leaving him exposed in the wilderness feels somewhat wrong."

Liu Yuxin couldn't help but mention.

Lu Lin suddenly paused, his gaze brightened as he looked at Liu Yuxin.

"What did you just say?"

Slightly startled by Lu Lin's sudden action, Liu Yuxin slowly replied, "I, I just said, saying he was a Martial Artist, leaving him exposed in the wilderness feels a bit inappropriate."
