Chapter 79: 77, Cultivating Golden Body Formula (Seeking First Subscription)

And there’s also the Star Power Concentration Medal.

Lu Lin pinned the medal to his chest and immediately felt an increase in the surrounding Star Power.

The First Layer of the Golden Body Sutra mainly helps martial artists to initially strengthen their skin’s defensive power and muscle strength.

Lu Lin concentrated and slowly circulated the Star Power.

Fortunately, he has the Perceive Star Skill, which allows him to constantly grasp the subtle changes in his body. He could tell at a glance which areas had more Star Power and which had less.

Yesterday, Lu Lin learned some knowledge while chatting with Zhao Lei at the hospital.

The Star Skill that each Star Core Warrior comprehends is not fixed. With the advancement of a Martial Artist’s level, the changes in the quantity and quality of Star Power, and their understanding of Star Skills, the Star Skills will change over time.

For example, the Stone Skin Star Skill that Lu Lin comprehended. At this stage, Stone Skin could withstand ordinary swords and knives. However, if an ordinary person were to attack Lu Lin with a Star Device, Stone Skin’s defense would be almost negligible and easily breached. This requires Lu Lin to use the Stone Skin Star Skill repeatedly and for a long time to improve the level of the Star Skill.

The classification of Star Skill levels among Federal Star Core Warriors is not particularly clear. There are generally five recognized realms:

Beginner.

Minor Achievement.

Major Achievement.

Perfection.

Transformation.

The reason this classification isn’t entirely clear is due to the sheer number of Federal Star Core Warriors, each with different awakening talents and varying aptitudes. Thus, a one-size-fits-all method for classifying Star Skills is highly unreasonable. Additionally, new Star Skills appear every year, further complicating precise categorization.

These five levels are generally understood as follows:

Beginner is attained upon initial comprehension.

After some practice, once one becomes more proficient in its use, it is considered Minor Achievement.

When even more time passes and releasing Star Skills becomes almost second nature, it is considered Major Achievement.

When the Star Core and Star Vein levels reach their peak, the Star Skill also reaches its limit; this is Perfection.

Finally, if unforeseen circumstances arise, or a Martial Artist’s comprehension of a Star Skill advances significantly, the Star Skill can undergo Transformation. For example, Lu Lin’s Stone Skin might transform into Stone Armor.

When Zhao Lei discussed this, he told Lu Lin that most Star Core Warriors’ mastery of Star Skills falls between Minor Achievement and Perfection. To cause a Star Skill to undergo Transformation, one typically needs to be a powerful individual who has, at minimum, reached the Seventh level Golden Body Realm.

However, he also mentioned another possibility: influencing Star Skill power through external factors. Ice-based Weapon Users who live in Ice and Snow environments for extended periods can unleash Ice Attribute Star Skills with greater power. Similarly, Martial Artists who have comprehended Stone Skin can enhance their skin’s defensive capabilities through Star Power Body Refinement. This, in turn, strengthens the Stone Skin Star Skill’s power when activated.

Lu Lin’s decision to cultivate the Golden Body Sutra was also influenced by this consideration.

Lu Lin was thrilled as he felt his skin and muscles gradually becoming tighter and stronger under the influence of Star Power. Just after one night of cultivation, he could feel a significant increase in his strength. Although the improvement in skin defensive power couldn’t be tested for the time being, it was certainly remarkable.

More importantly, Lu Lin felt that if he continued to cultivate, he could definitely achieve a breakthrough and reach the First Layer of the Golden Body Sutra within a day.

But he still gave up on this idea for a simple reason: he was too hungry. It wasn’t just the hunger from a lack of food in his stomach, but also an intense hunger emanating from his Star Core and Star Veins. He had never depleted more than half of his Eye Series Star Vein before, but now, the Star Power stored within it was utterly gone, leaving it completely empty.

Lu Lin quickly took a Star Power Potion. A Star Power Potion potent enough to fully restore a Third Level Star-Core Fighter could only replenish the deficit in his Earth-Type Star Vessel; the Eye Series Star Vein remained empty.

One bottle costs 100,000!

Lu Lin opened another bottle of Star Power Recovery Potion and drank it, feeling a pang of reluctance. But he had no choice.

Lu Lin intuitively knew that if he didn’t quickly replenish his Star Power, it would genuinely damage his Star Core and Eye Series Star Vein.

No matter how much it pained him financially, he had to drink it.

He even felt a little fortunate to have received six bottles of Star Power Recovery Potion from Lin Xiangnan today.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t know what to do right now.

After drinking the second bottle of Star Power Potion, the Star Power in his Eye Series Star Vein recovered by about 30% and continued to rise rapidly. As long as he had Star Power reserves, Lu Lin could finally relax.

The cultivation of the Golden Body Sutra wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight. During the process, he needed to constantly familiarize himself with his own power. Only by first mastering his current power could he proceed to the next stage of cultivation. Otherwise, merely possessing power without control wouldn’t translate into actual Combat Power.

「When he opened his eyes again, Lu Lin saw that it was already past ten in the morning the next day.」

His mom and dad were both off work today, but they were still not at home. Dad had taken Mom to Junsheng Hotel. Since Lu Lin hadn’t managed to arrange things for the Promotion Banquet yet, his parents had decided to go in person. His mom had also reconfirmed the timing with Lu Lin. They would hold the Promotion Banquet immediately after he and Guan Yue returned from their trip.

Lu Lin wanted to go to the Alien planet as soon as possible to familiarize himself with the environment and learn more about Iron Blood College.

Otherwise, he, a dignified Level 1 Star Nucleus Warrior, might end up losing to freshmen from Iron Blood College.

Lu Lin opened the class chat group of his elementary school and sent a message:

"Classmates, I am holding a Promotion Banquet on June 18th at Junsheng Hotel, and I sincerely invite you all to attend."

"You don’t need to bring anything when you come, just have a good chat."

With these two sentences, the calm class chat group suddenly exploded.

"Finally, our Boss Lu is holding a Promotion Banquet. We’ve been waiting for this day for a long time."

"What? We have to bring something when we come? You didn’t say anything, and I almost forgot."

"Old classmate, congratulations, we will definitely be at the hotel on time."

Classmates from his class left messages one after another, including Wang Juan and Da Xiang, who also joined in the fun.

Lu Lin then found the phone numbers of his elementary school Class Advisor and physical education teacher, called them, and invited them to join as well. Both of them readily agreed. It was rare for a student with awakening talent to remember their elementary school teachers.

Lu Lin hung up the phone and suddenly remembered something.

Didn’t Da Xiang mention another classmate from their elementary school days who had also awakened their talent?

Why haven’t I heard any news about them for so long?

"Da Xiang, Da Xiang, who’s the other awakened classmate you mentioned from our class?"

"Did they also hold a Promotion Banquet?"

Da Xiang hesitated for a moment before replying, "No, and this time, when Zheng Yulong’s family came back, we didn’t see his mom bragging about it."

Lu Lin chatted with Da Xiang for a few more sentences before ending the conversation.

With the task of notifying his classmates completed, Lu Lin turned his thoughts to his training plan: practicing Ten Steps Kill for one hour each day.

Since I traveled between Tata City and Linbei City yesterday, I should practice for an extra two hours today.

I wonder if I’ll be able to squeeze in time for practice during the upcoming three-day trip out of town.

「Jogging to the basketball court behind Lishui Bay, Lu Lin discovered that the basketball hoop he had previously severed was gone.」

There were no traces of dragging or moving around the area.

Lu Lin’s heart suddenly leaped.

Could someone from the Black Shark Society be here, preparing an ambush?

From the artist’s memories he had reviewed, most of the Black Shark Society members mentioned were located on Saturn.

I originally thought that once I went to university, Mom and Dad would have a safe living environment.

I didn’t expect there would still be some who slipped through the net.

Lu Lin gripped the hilt of his broken saber and carefully surveyed the surrounding area.
