CHAPTER 242: CHAPTER 215: DARK HUMOR

When Li Ran and Yang Daozhen were pulled into the Star Power Domain by Lu Lin, both of them looked utterly confused.

What’s going on?

How did they suddenly end up in a strange place?

To prevent the three from meeting each other and communicating, Lu Lin arranged for each of them to be in different places.

Zhou Xingtong, being from the Wood System, was placed in the desert.

Li Ran, from the Gold System, was placed in a small underground space.

Yang Daozhen, being from the Fire System, was placed on the ocean, sitting on a floating log, drifting with the waves.

"Oh my God."

"Lu Lin, what are you doing?"

All three of them wailed almost simultaneously.

In the desert, there wasn’t even a drop of water; a gust of wind blew, sweeping up countless grains of sand, causing Zhou Xingtong’s face to sting painfully.

Deep underground, Li Ran conjured weapon after weapon—swords, spears, cutting blades, halberds, axes, hooked scythes, forks—but no matter how hard he tried, it was all in vain.

Yang Daozhen was basically hydrophobic. Despite being a Level 5 Star Core Warrior, he had almost drowned as a child and had never been to a swimming pool since then, fearing even a bathtub.

Now in the middle of the sea, with nothing around as a point of reference, Yang Daozhen trembled all over, nearly breaking down and calling for his mother.

In the Consciousness Universe, Lu Lin watched the three of them and muttered to himself:

If they hadn’t prepared any Star Arrays, then Lu Lin wouldn’t have done this to them.

Since they intended to harm, they should have the consciousness of being targeted.

"Lu Lin, let me out. There’s no life here at all; how am I supposed to comprehend Star Skills?"

Zhou Xingtong, ignorant of Lu Lin’s series of moves, shouted up to the sky.

He knew Lu Lin could hear him.

But the scene before him remained unchanged, and suddenly, a terrifying sandstorm appeared, blocking out the sky and the sun.

This is bad.

Zhou Xingtong couldn’t care less about complaining to Lu Lin and hurriedly ran to a distant place.

Just narrowly avoiding the sandstorm, Zhou Xingtong was about to take a breath and exit the Star Power Domain when he found that he couldn’t get out at all.

"Lu Lin."

"I can’t comprehend any Star Skills. I want to exit."

The response he got was a horrifying scream.

Looking up, Zhou Xingtong saw a group of vultures circling above him.

Upon noticing Zhou Xingtong’s gaze, the group of vultures started releasing Star Skills one by one.

"Small fireball."

"Flame snake."

"Scorching."

"Volcano."

"Fire rain."

A series of Fire System Star Skills descended, causing Zhou Xingtong to complain incessantly.

"Lu Lin, I ** you **."

Even if Zhou Xingtong was foolish, he now realized something was wrong.

Coming into this Star Power Domain, it was not to comprehend Star Skills; it was clearly a death trap.

While cursing, Zhou Xingtong was also thinking of a solution.

Lu Lin no longer paid him any attention and turned his gaze to Li Ran, who was striving underground.

In this day, Li Ran didn’t make himself noticeable at all, but in fact, he was the main attacker of the three-person team.

In just a moment, the Eye Star Power Domain had recorded ten offensive-type Star Skills.

Three of these were ones that Lu Lin had not recorded before.

As for him, Lu Lin’s method was to compress space.

Looking at the passageway he’d painstakingly "researched," shrinking in a blink of an eye, Li Ran cursed under his breath.

He put in even more effort to use Star Skills, trying to escape the confined earth and stone space.

But watching the small room slowly shrink, Li Ran was on the verge of tears.

After messing with these two, Lu Lin’s attention was turned to Yang Daozhen, who was drifting along the waves in the sea.

He first created various fish in the water, constantly swimming past Yang Daozhen.

Then he summoned a group of dolphins, having them dance and leap around Yang Daozhen.

If such a scene appeared on television or in a zoo, circus, it would definitely elicit rounds of applause from the audience.

But sitting on a piece of withered wood, Yang Daozhen was shivering with fear.

He was not afraid of battle, not afraid of Alien Races, not afraid of Exotic Beasts, but what he feared most was water.

"Lu Lin, you bastard, let me out."

Yang Daozhen kept cursing.

Even while cursing, his lips trembled, and his teeth clattered with each other; he did not give up.

Lu Lin felt a surge of mischievous pleasure and directly condensed an image of himself in front of Yang Daozhen.

So far, Zhou Xingtong and Li Ran had handed over quite a few Star Skills, but Yang Daozhen had not released a single one, only cursing nonstop.

"Fire Snake!"

Seeing Lu Lin appear in front of him, Yang Daozhen, regardless of his fear, launched a Fire Snake directly at Lu Lin.

The illusionary Lu Lin standing in the water, however, emotionlessly released a shield, easily blocking Yang Daozhen’s attack.

"Do you dare block?"

"Die already!"

As Yang Daozhen said this, he simultaneously released two or three types of fire attribute Star Skills.

"Flame Dragon."

"Magma."

"Fire Fist."

One flame Star Skill after another formed in the air, attacking Lu Lin.

Yet the illusionary Lu Lin showed no reaction.

That shield seemed to be the strongest defensive weapon in the world, not diminishing in the slightest no matter how Yang Daozhen attacked.

Seeing that Yang Daozhen was almost out of attacks, Lu Lin then controlled the illusion to transform into a wave, crashing heavily upon Yang Daozhen.

Yang Daozhen was directly knocked off the withered wood by this wave, falling into the sea.

"Help, help!"

Yang Daozhen, unable to spare a curse for Lu Lin, frantically flapped in the seawater.

But at this moment, Lu Lin also manipulated some seaweed, wrapping around one of his legs, no matter how Yang Daozhen struggled, he couldn’t breathe the air smoothly.

"Ah, Lu Lin, I was wrong."

"Spare me, please spare me."

Yang Daozhen was crying and sniveling.

It’s hard for someone without aquaphobia to understand the feelings of an aquaphobic person.

Lu Lin was just like that.

He even thought Yang Daozhen was acting.

A normal Star Core Warrior, not to mention falling into the sea, wouldn’t probably last if they fell into magma...

Feeling displeased, Lu Lin directly conjured a big wave, fiercely knocking towards Yang Daozhen.

As a result, Yang Daozhen’s spirit suddenly dimmed a bit, and after a look, it was already somewhat weakened.

An eyeball that has not recorded any star skills or memories rapidly came to Yang Daozhen’s side, absorbing all the spiritual strength he had dropped.

Lu Lin was stunned.

This works too?

It’s the first time he knocked off part of a spiritual body without using star skills.

Lu Lin hurried to check.

This was Yang Daozhen’s recent memories.

He wasn’t actually a student of Iron Blood College, just an ordinary freelance warrior who usually went out to hunt exotic beasts and alien races for a living.

Some time ago, about a month back, Yang Daozhen received orders to deal with a man named Lu Lin.

The order was to kill if possible, if not, then get along with Lu Lin and prepare for the next step.

Along with him, there were two other people, Zhou Xingtong and Li Ran.

The three had never met before and didn’t know they were all members of the same organization.

However, once Lu Lin entered the Exotic Battlefield, he disappeared, leaving the three of them to wander nearby helplessly.

Yang Daozhen’s memories ended here.

Although Lu Lin didn’t see much, he also knew that Tian Dayin and Tian Dalan did not deceive him.

These three were indeed prepared to kill Lu Lin.

Star Array, the command in the memory, and a mysterious organization.

Let Lu Lin sniff a trace of familiar flavor.

Black Shark Society.

The founder of the Black Shark Society is the God of Black Shark, and now Lu Lin knows that this so-called God of Black Shark is just one of the Hundred Gods under the Saint.

The God of Black Shark and nine other awakened gods formed the Alliance of the Gods, intending to revive more gods.

What their purpose is, Lu Lin did not know.

However, such an evil existence opposing humanity is unfavorable to the development of the Human Federation.

Moreover, after the painter on Saturn, Wang Lihe, and others appeared, Lu Lin’s Promotion Banquet was rendered in shambles by Jiang Yamin, nearly getting Ma Yan killed.

Coming to the Alien, Lu Lin originally thought the Black Shark Society would restrain their conduct, but unexpectedly, it hadn’t been peaceful for long before they appeared again.

"God of Black Shark, I, Lu Lin, will eliminate you sooner or later."

Lu Lin vowed fiercely in his heart.

Time and again, the God of Black Shark still attacks him.

What if one day, the God of Black Shark lost interest in Lu Lin and turned against Lu Lin’s family?

To become stronger.

Must become stronger.

What alien races, exotic beasts, God of Black Shark, Alliance of the Gods—all are enemies of humanity.

Turning back, once the power is strong, eliminate them all one by one.

When looking at Yang Daozhen again, Lu Lin’s eyes sharpened; he did not wish to play with him anymore.

Numerous star skills descended from the sky, shattering Yang Daozhen’s spiritual body into pieces.

"Lu Lin, I ** you **."

"Lu Lin, I don’t dare anymore, I sorry to you."

"Lu Lin, I beg you, spare my life."

Yang Daozhen kept whining, but Lu Lin, like an indifferent god, let star skills fall ceaselessly.

Yang Daozhen’s figure became more and more illusory, more and more feeble.

Gradually, he lost the strength even to speak, and the whole person dissipated like a wisp of smoke in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.

After dealing with Yang Daozhen, Lu Lin did not immediately handle Zhou Xingtong and Li Ran but carefully checked Yang Daozhen’s memories.

This time, he did not enter Yang Daozhen’s memory but browsed his life like watching a movie.

In his childhood, all of his parents and family were swallowed up by a suddenly appeared space crack.

Those terrifying alien soldiers, like the most fearful nightmare in Yang Daozhen’s heart, deeply rooted in his memory.

He feared.

But beyond fear, he had another thought.

To become those terrifying alien soldiers, devouring humans.

After the College Entrance Exam, Yang Daozhen smoothly awakened as a Star Core Warrior, but due to the fear of alien races in his heart, he didn’t dare to confront alien races in battles during his university training.

This situation was even more severe than that of Chen Xiran before.

Alien races, in his eyes, were invincible gods and demons.

Even when his ability reached the Third, Fourth Level, he dared not face even a First-level alien race with a blade.

Until once, he participated in the school’s graduation assessment.

It was a thirty-day wilderness survival assessment, where all graduates lived in a designated area and had to kill a certain number of exotic beasts or alien races.

Yang Daozhen chickened out.

He went alone to a marginal area, quietly waiting for the assessment to end.

By then, he had already contacted the City Lord’s Mansion in his hometown, preparing to do clerical work after graduation.

So there was no more worry.

But when he woke up the next morning, he found himself no longer in the tent...
