Chapter 94: 92, unprecedented, Guiding exotic beast Promotion

"Master Lu Lin, don’t worry." The soldier guiding Lu Lin spoke up, "These are the Exotic Beast wolf and dogs specially raised by our Maolin Base. Although their strength has reached the First Level, they know their limits and won’t bite the soldiers participating in the training."

As he was speaking, Lu Lin saw an Exotic Beast wolf and dog bite the lower leg of a soldier in front of them.

With a powerful swing of its head, the Exotic Beast wolf and dog tore off a piece of flesh from the soldier’s leg.

Lu Lin turned his head to look at the soldier beside him. Is this what you call not injuring the trainees? What does being injured actually look like? Can you show me?

The soldier beside him, however, looked completely unfazed. He noticed Lu Lin’s doubt and explained, "This isn’t considered an injury. We’re all Star Core Warriors. As long as we eat a few more meals, this wound will heal and recover as if nothing happened."

"But that’s the real purpose of our training—to closely simulate actual combat. Master Lu, this must be your first time seeing our Exotic Beast wolf and dogs. If it were really trying to harm someone, it wouldn’t attack non-lethal areas."

"Moreover, an Exotic Beast wolf and dog’s bite force can reach thousands of pounds, powerful enough to crush a person’s bones."

"Oh." Lu Lin acknowledged, deep in thought.

Is this the kind of terrifying exotic beast I’ll be facing in the future? I’ve heard that First-Level exotic beasts are the lowest tier on the Exotic Battlefield.

Lu Lin felt that even if they were both First Level, he might not be able to defeat this wolfhound. The crucial point was that Lu Lin had never fought an exotic beast before, nor did he understand their attack patterns. They simply hadn’t covered such knowledge in high school.

After eating, Lu Lin didn’t ask the soldier to accompany him and instead took a walk around the training ground alone.

Just then, he saw a few soldiers grooming the Exotic Beast wolf and dogs and preparing their lunch.

These wolfhounds were huge and had massive appetites.

Lu Lin estimated that each wolfhound consumed at least 30 to 50 pounds of meat per meal, along with some nutritionally balanced dog food.

No wonder their coats are so smooth. The key must be in what they eat.

Noticing Lu Lin’s approach, the several wolfhound handlers greeted him.

"Master Lu! Master Lu!"

Everyone addressed Lu Lin as Master Lu. He nodded, having grown accustomed to the title.

No matter where he went, as soon as he successfully guided someone’s Star Skill, his address would change from Little Lu, Lu Lin, or Student Lu to Master Lu.

Lu Lin walked up to the tallest Black-Backed Wolfhound. "Can I pet it?"

"Of course." The soldier stood up, patted the wolfhound’s head, and murmured a few words to it. The wolfhound then turned to look at Lu Lin and nodded.

Lu Lin hadn’t expected this Exotic Beast wolf and dog to be so intelligent.

The handler said, "Master Lu, Monroe said you can pet it. But when it heard you’re a Star Guide, it asked me if you could help guide its Star Skill."

"Huh?" Lu Lin was taken aback. What’s going on? Do exotic beasts also need Guiding Star Skills?

"No, Master Lu, Monroe doesn’t need Guiding Star Skills. It just wants to experience it. I told it you’re a great Star Guide, so it wanted to give it a try."

"Alright." Lu Lin nodded, thinking this exotic beast was quite adventurous.

Might as well let it try.

Lu Lin placed his hand on Monroe’s back, entered his Consciousness Universe, and released his Star Power Domain.

Amidst the endless yellow sand, a remarkably majestic Black-Backed Wolfhound suddenly appeared.

"AWOO—"

As soon as Monroe entered the empty domain, it let out a howl.

Then it bounded off, galloping through the domain.

Although wolfhounds were loyal companions to soldiers, they still possessed wild genes. Monroe was overjoyed to be in this unconfined space.

It ran wildly, leaped, and constantly rolled around in the desert.

Even when faced with sandstorms, it met them head-on without fear.

Seeing this, Lu Lin wondered if he should change the appearance of his Star Power Domain.

This endless yellow sand landscape gets tiring to look at after a while. Jiang Yueming’s Star Power Domain is an Ancient Wood Forest, filled with the songs of birds and the fragrance of flowers, brimming with vitality. Guan Yue’s Star Power Domain is a City Labyrinth, full of confusing twists and turns. Jiang Yueming’s other disciple, Cao Yueming, also has a Wood System domain. My Yellow Sand Star Domain feels unfair to Water Attribute and Ice Attribute Star Core Warriors. Well, on the airplane ride back to Green City later, I’ll have a good opportunity to reconstruct my Star Power Domain.

Lost in thought, Lu Lin didn’t notice the changes occurring to Monroe within the Star Power Domain.

At that moment, Monroe’s four legs were stiff, saliva was unconsciously drooling from the corners of its mouth, and its eyes were tightly shut, as if it had been poisoned.

「Meanwhile, in the external world.」

The soldier responsible for raising Monroe was astonished to find Monroe’s body glowing.

He was startled. Before he could comprehend why Monroe was like this, he heard a voice beside him.

"Monroe is undergoing a promotion!"

At these words, the several soldiers busy feeding the wolfhounds turned their heads in shock.

As professional Exotic Beast wolf and dog breeders, they were all too familiar with exotic beast promotions.

Exotic beast promotions differed from human advancements.

Human advancements didn’t cause significant external disturbances. If you saw a Martial Artist promoting by the roadside, apart from a slightly larger Star Power fluctuation, there wouldn’t be much impact.

Exotic beasts, however, were different.

Each promotion for an exotic beast was a complete metamorphosis, like shedding old skin for new.

Their strength and speed would skyrocket, and their size would increase.

This process was clearly visible to almost anyone.

However, exotic beast promotions were extremely rare.

Because they were at their most vulnerable during promotion, exotic beasts would hide in secluded places, away from humans and other exotic beasts.

Currently, across all major websites in the Human Federation, only three videos of exotic beast promotions were in circulation.

Only three such videos in a thousand years.

This highlighted just how rare an event an exotic beast promotion was for humans.

The soldier responsible for raising Monroe instinctively activated the recording function on his Personal Terminal to capture the scene.

The other handler-soldiers quickly gathered around, exclaiming in amazement.

An astute soldier had already contacted the sergeant to report. Soon, Hu Nan, who was on his way out, also received the news.

"Lu Lin touched an Exotic Beast wolf and dog, and it resulted in its promotion."

Hu Nan was at a loss for words.

He instructed the driver to turn the car around and head back to the training base. Simultaneously, Hu Nan contacted personnel at the training base to lock down the information.

This was potentially the first time in a thousand years that humans had facilitated an exotic beast’s promotion. The value of this was incalculable.

It could even have a monumental impact on the Human Federation’s entire policy regarding exotic beasts.

On his way back, Hu Nan continuously contacted various bosses on the Beiqiu Continent.

Upon receiving Hu Nan’s communication, these bosses quickly arranged for special cars, dedicated trains, and connecting flights to rush to Maolin.

The Saturn Governor, who had just landed at Green City Airport, was also alerted by this news. Having just deplaned, he had to turn around and board another airplane to Maolin.

At the same time, Zhao Lei, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Li also received the news. The three exchanged strange glances and boarded a plane to Maolin.

They all couldn’t help but sigh internally. It had only been a few days! They were still trying to sort out and interrogate the captured members of the Black Shark Society on Saturn, and Lu Lin had already stirred up another major incident!

「Maolin Training Base.」

Lu Lin, who had just been lost in thought, suddenly sensed something was amiss. He took a look and nearly jumped out of his skin.

How did Monroe suddenly collapse on the ground with stiff limbs? Was there a problem? No kidding!

Lu Lin quickly re-entered his Star Power Domain to check on Monroe’s condition.

He saw Monroe surrounded by distinct Star Power fluctuations. It showed no other abnormalities; it even winked at Lu Lin as he approached.

It’s fine. It must be fine. So, what’s going on?

Lu Lin stood beside Monroe, completely baffled. Just then, Monroe’s figure slowly dissipated, leaving the Star Power Domain.

Lu Lin wasn’t sure if it was his imagination.

He thought he saw Monroe smiling at him.

A wolfhound, smiling at me?

Lu Lin shook his head, dismissing the thought. If he voiced it aloud, people would think he was insane.
