"Swamp!"

Lu Lin unleashed the Star Skill, and a large amount of Star Power was drawn from the Star Veins in his body.

About three meters in front of Lu Lin, a swamp appeared in the middle of the overgrown wasteland.

Lu Lin took advantage of the night and observed it up close.

Immediately, his expression was priceless.

Is this a joke!?

The area of the swamp was only one meter long and one meter wide.

Such a small space, what kind of enemy can it trap?

He initially thought it was a group-delaying skill, but after all that anticipation, it turned out to be merely a single-target skill, much to his disappointment.

He imagined a large group of Alien Races or exotic beasts charging at him, then using the Swamp to trap just one opponent. The rest would have no obstacles and would rush up to slaughter him and his allies.

Lu Lin couldn’t help but shudder.

This is terrifying.

This Star Skill was only useful in one-on-one situations or for targeting key opponents. It couldn’t establish significant combat power quickly.

How should I put it? The range of this skill is limited, and its Star Power consumption...

Lu Lin entered the Consciousness Universe and checked the state of the Star Power in his Earth-Type Star Veins.

Good.

Releasing a one-meter by one-meter Swamp only consumed about 3% of Lu Lin’s current Star Power, which was acceptable.

Acceptable.

In fact, if the number of opponents was not too large, he could continuously release three, five, or even ten Swamps to hinder their actions.

A strategic Star Skill?Thinking about it this way, it didn’t seem too bad.

After experimenting with the Swamp several times, Lu Lin knew he couldn’t use it against a large number of enemies in a short time. However, it was still capable of accurately delaying single targets.

Next, Lu Lin found a dilapidated brick house, which must have been inhabited by humans long ago but was now abandoned for some unknown reason. As he walked inside, he discovered many ordinary small animals hiding within. As soon as they sensed Lu Lin’s presence, these small animals fled in panic. In their eyes, Lu Lin, who had reached the peak of Level 1, was undoubtedly a terrifying monster.

Inside the house were some old furniture, mottled stains, and a pervasive stench. After confirming that no humans were inside, Lu Lin walked out.

"Earth Shattering."

After releasing the Earth Shattering Star Skill, Lu Lin felt the Star Power within his body suddenly flow through his right arm. It moved in a peculiar way and attached to his fist.

BOOM.

A loud noise rang out. A large hole was blasted into the wall before him.

Lu Lin stepped back, examining the large hole and the surrounding cracks on the wall. The large hole was a result of his strength, combined with the house’s age and disrepair. As for the surrounding cracks, Lu Lin knew they were not caused by the aftermath of his power.

Earth Shattering.

It was the additional effect of the Earth Shattering Star Skill. Star Power, circulating through his arm in a peculiar manner, entered the wall and vibrated its internal structure, causing numerous cracks to appear.

A thought struck Lu Lin: the way Earth Shattering circulated Star Power seemed similar to Ten Steps Kill and Inch Step. Both relied on the application of Star Power, released through a specific pattern of circulation, to deal damage. However, Ten Steps Kill and Inch Step required the Martial Artist to actively construct the patterns. In contrast, the Earth Shattering Star Skill automatically formed this circulation.

Lu Lin’s thoughts continued to diverge. If Star Skills and martial skills shared such similarities, did that mean the other Star Skills he had comprehended—War Cry, Stone Skin, Swamp, Perception, Evasion, and Inner Vision—operated on similar principles? Following this line of thought, could Lu Lin create one or even multiple entirely new Star Skills, just like Chen Buming, who created Ten Steps Kill? With Star Skills he created, Lu Lin could use Inner Vision to strengthen and fortify the pathways through which the Star Skill circulated. This would increase the speed and volume of Star Power flowing through them.

No, there’s something wrong with this line of thinking. Lu Lin suddenly realized that when he had released the Swamp earlier, he hadn’t felt any trace of Star Power circulating in his body.

The Human Federation classified Star Skills into four major categories: Combat, Spells, Support, and Special.

The sample Lu Lin could currently examine was too small. Forget Spells, Support, and Special types; even among Combat Star Skills, he only possessed Earth Shattering. It was impossible to deduce any conclusions from this single Star Skill alone.

He’d have to shelve this thought until he acquired more Star Skills in the future.

After testing the newly acquired Star Skills, Lu Lin returned to Mingze Hotel the same way he came.

Early the next day, the men Hu Nan sent had already arrived at the hotel downstairs, waiting with a car to pick up Lu Lin. They would spend about three hours heading to the Excellent Soldier Training Base to Guide the Star Skills for the sergeants there.

The journey was uneventful.

「Mao Lin.」

It was not a densely forested area but a city built amidst a wasteland. Lu Lin didn’t know why the Human Federation had chosen to build a city here, nor why such a desolate city was called Mao Lin.

He arrived at the training base by car and met the 142 excellent soldiers who were to receive his Guiding this time. They were clearly different from the new recruits he had met in Mingze a few days ago. These excellent soldiers exuded a murderous aura. Merely by standing in formation, Lu Lin could feel their unshakeable, mountain-like presence.

Hu Nan, as the chief instructor of the training base, introduced Lu Lin and spoke of his abilities to everyone.

The eyes of the hundred-odd people below instantly changed.

Hope. Excitement. Expectation. Various emotions filled the air.

Lu Lin wasted no words and entered the Cultivation Room within the base to begin Guiding the Star Skills for the numerous soldiers. This time, he specifically instructed every soldier who entered the Star Power Domain to demonstrate all the Star Skills they had comprehended once inside. This way, it could increase the success rate.

The soldiers naturally agreed; for them, it was simple. Besides, it could improve their success rate. Even if Hu Nan had just praised Lu Lin’s ability to Guide everyone’s Star Skills with 100% success, who would refuse an even higher chance?

In the Cultivation Room, soldiers came and went. After Guiding 1,500 people in Mingze over a day and a night, Lu Lin felt no pressure Guiding these hundred-odd soldiers.

By just past noon, all 142 soldiers had completed their Guiding sessions. Among them, twenty-one had comprehended Double Star Skills, while the Star Skills comprehended by the remaining 121 soldiers were also quite good.

Most importantly, over 200 new Star Skills had been recorded in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.

This time, it was a bountiful harvest!

From First to Third Level, Martial Artists primarily trained their Star Veins and fighting methods, and the Star Skills they comprehended were generally similar. In just three days, Lu Lin had recorded over 800 new Star Skills in his Domain. These were all basic Five Elements Attribute Star Skills, with occasional Five Elements Variant Star Skills.

The latest official list of Star Skills released by the Human Federation detailed over 40,000 basic Star Skills. These were skills that a First to Third-Level Star-Core Fighter could potentially comprehend. However, it was impossible for Lu Lin to Guide every Star-Core Fighter in the Human Federation to collect them all.

He was already very satisfied with acquiring this many.

At noon, Hu Nan had to leave on an errand, so soldiers assigned from the training base escorted Lu Lin to the canteen for a meal. As they passed the field training ground, Lu Lin saw quite a few sergeants engaged in intense drills, running and rolling on the ground. As Star-Core Fighters, they faced more challenging obstacles, with soldiers hidden on both sides ready to launch surprise attacks.

Moreover, Lu Lin even saw... Those have to be exotic beasts, right?

Lu Lin rubbed his eyes. He watched a Black-Backed Wolfhound, as large as a calf, drooling as it chased a sergeant.

"Be careful!" Lu Lin shouted, alarmed. This kind of training is far too brutal!
