Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 1074 - 650: Clearing the Drastically Different First Two Stages

From afar, Lu Lin could see the huge black wormhole in the night.

It kept spinning, emitting an inexplicable and terrifying aura.

Referring to it as a wormhole seemed somewhat inaccurate; it was more like a portal, crossing time and Space, leading to a mysterious unknown place.

Indeed, there were rows of buildings around the Mysterious Realm Portal, but at this moment, no one was there.

Lu Lin and the others walked close, realizing the people here must have evacuated suddenly within a short time.

In the kitchen, they could still see scorched Spirit rice, emitting a foul stench.

This place was more like an estate outside the city, completely empty. Apparently, just now Qin Ziheng returned and mentioned this, causing everyone to flee in panic.

Of course, some people weren’t as panicked. From the occasionally seen opened boxes and scattered gold and silver jewelry, it was clear some looting had occurred.

However, the affected area was mainly farther from the wormhole, seemingly where women might have lived.

"Lu Lin."

Yao Qi approached Lu Lin, her Soul Power constantly extending outward, sensing something amiss.

"Over there, over there, it seems someone is using a Formation to hide and observe us."

Yao Qi pointed to several directions. Lu Lin followed her finger, his face showing a smile.

"Hmm, Teacher Yao, don’t worry about them."

"Whether these people are spies from major families in the city or watchers Qin Ziheng set outside deliberately, they can’t stop us from entering the wormhole."

"I initially thought we’d encounter a battle here, but surprisingly, it’s so easy. Since that’s the case, let’s not be courteous and go straight in."

Lu Lin said this and began walking toward the wormhole.

Yao Qi glanced at the places where someone was hiding, then quickly followed Lu Lin.

The others followed behind, without a word, even the most timid Ma Lin remained silent after making the decision.

In front of the wormhole, Lu Lin didn’t make a long speech—there was no need—and walked in first.

After a wave of dizziness from Space-Time travel, Lu Lin finally felt his feet on the ground.

The ground was uncomfortable underfoot, so Lu Lin looked down.

Quite a sight.

He almost cried out in surprise.

Glittering Gold, the ground was covered in Glittering Gold.

Besides Glittering Gold, there were various metal minerals, many of which Lu Lin didn’t recognize, but just recognizing a few were enough to make him open his mouth in shock.

Lightning Rock Crystal.

Copper Soul Mother Ore.

Cat’s Eye Blood Drop.

Wind-dried Rainfall Wood.

Besides ores, crystal stones, and metals, there were also many materials for Refining.

These items were top-tier in Longyuan World; even a Refining apprentice could, at minimum, produce Seventh and Eighth Grade Star Devices with these materials.

If a Refining Master used all these precious minerals, possibly even Ninth Grade Star Devices could be crafted.

"Collect!"

Without hesitation, Lu Lin decided—why leave treasure and return empty-handed?

But just as he began to act, he heard a voice nearby.

"Gate not passed, unable to collect."

"Hmm?"

Lu Lin paused momentarily, then quickly realized.

It seems the Master of this Secret Realm has principles; even if these minerals were tossed like rubbish, taking them required his approval.

At this moment, Yao Qi, Ma Lin, Tan Cong, Qi Wudi, and Lin Yaowu also descended into the Secret Realm.

Once their vision returned to normal, like Lu Lin, they were elated by the vast amount of metal minerals before them.

However, Lu Lin didn’t remind them—they couldn’t take anything anyway.

"Lu Lin, these great items are only for show, not for taking—it’s quite frustrating."

Lin Yaowu remarked, and the others nodded in agreement, even Yao Qi felt he was right.

Among these metallic minerals, many accompanying treasures needed these materials for manifestation, but she couldn’t take them, which was quite vexing.

"It’s normal; one must receive the inheritance here. You can’t simply take them away."

"Let’s go, the mountains ahead should be where the trial takes place—let’s go check it out."

The group arrived at the foot of the mountain, where only one entrance was, simply labeled "Trial Entrance," with small text below stating "unlimited number of people."

"Go ahead and try."

Lu Lin encouraged from the side, but the group exchanged glances, each somewhat hesitant.

Even Yao Qi felt a tinge of nervousness.

Earlier, Lu Lin and Tan Cong had shared some information about the trial: Passing one level could yield some treasures, but reaching level ten allowed an exit from the trial.

Continuing forward was also an option.

Beyond that, Lu Lin and Tan Cong knew little.

But that was enough.

If someone died during the trial, naturally nothing more could be said. If successfully passing, the person could quickly learn more information.

"Okay, let’s start."

"Who goes first?"

Lu Lin asked the four.

The four looked at each other but hesitated.

Yao Qi originally had ambitions, but discovering the trial’s content had no connection with her cultivation Talent, she became hesitant.

Her ability had reached Head Level, and her Talent had achieved Messenger Level; even cultivating slowly in the future wouldn’t result in low achievements.
