Later, he met Shao Xiaolong again in Wild Kill Martial Arts Hall. This was also an ordinary individual who had not achieved awakening in decades. But according to his own account, his awakening took place after encountering an individual opportunity when he traveled to an alien planet.
This made Lu Lin realize that ordinary people could also successfully awaken.
Just now, in the Seafood Restaurant, Jiang Yamin mentioned that Shao Xiaolong had suffered from amnesia after hitting his head. Lu Lin hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.
But reflecting on it now, he found the matter quite odd. Severe head injuries could indeed potentially cause amnesia, but the probability was too low. Shao Xiaolong, after all, was a Star Core Warrior who had awakened his Talent. How could he have conveniently become amnesic without even leaving the main gate of the Martial Arts Hall? Besides, even amnesia came in many forms: localized, intermittent, continuous... Completely losing all memories was possible, but extremely rare. For Shao Xiaolong to leave the building, bang his head, become amnesic, and conveniently lose all his memories in just that way... Lu Lin felt this matter wasn’t that simple.
It seemed as if a large hand was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Possibly... it was the person or organization that had helped Shao Xiaolong awaken.
However, these matters were not related to Lu Lin.
He just needed to confirm that ordinary people could indeed awaken.
"Da Xiang, sit cross-legged first. I will guide you into the Star Power Domain."
"After that, whether you can awaken depends on you."
Da Xiang sat down as instructed.
Lu Lin pulled him into his Star Power Domain.
Compared to guiding the spiritual bodies of the masters in the dense forest today, guiding Da Xiang’s spiritual body was exceptionally easy.
In an instant, Da Xiang was drawn into the Star Power Domain.
Gazing at the vast expanse of yellow sand before him, Da Xiang was stunned.
Is this Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain? Why does it look like a desert?
But, can I comprehend Star Skills this way?
Lu Lin’s plan was actually straightforward. The idea had come from Lin Ling: imprint a Star Skill onto Da Xiang, then have him continuously use the Star Skill to consume Star Power, recovering it by taking a Star Power Recovery Potion.
Human potential is limitless. Each time Star Power is completely depleted and then replenished, its quantity and quality will slightly increase and improve.
Such a slight enhancement might not matter much to those who were already Star Core Warriors, but for ordinary people like Da Xiang, every bit of improvement was a huge step forward.
Some might ask: Humans have been in the era of Interstellar Cultivation for over a thousand years, so why haven’t other Star Guides tried this?
The answer was simple. In this world, Lu Lin was the only one who could engrave Star Skills into his own Star Power Domain and, at the same time, specifically "guide" others to comprehend Star Skills.
Since Da Xiang hadn’t awakened, his attributes were unclear. Lu Lin could only try them one by one: the Water Attribute’s ’Water Arrow’, the Wood System’s ’Growth’, the Earth-based ’Stone Skin’, the Gold System’s ’Hardening’, the Fire System’s ’Burning’...
When he tried the Fire System’s ’Burning’, Lu Lin noticed a reaction.
There was some resonance between the Star Skill ’Burning’ and Da Xiang, but Lu Lin clearly felt that it would be challenging to imprint the Star Skill onto Da Xiang.
Lu Lin made more than thirty attempts before finally succeeding.
In the Star Power Domain, Da Xiang suddenly felt something new in his mind.
A Star Skill? Burning? No, this can’t be right! How could an ordinary person like me comprehend a Star Skill!
Startled, Da Xiang’s spiritual body retreated from the Star Power Domain.
He opened his eyes and released the Star Skill.
A layer of flames covered Da Xiang’s hands, emitting a burning sensation.
The temperature seemed similar to a normal flame, but it didn’t really affect Da Xiang. He merely felt a bit warm.
Lu Lin opened his eyes, saw Da Xiang excitedly releasing his Star Skill, and instructed, "You better conserve your energy. You’re still an ordinary person; your internal Star Power is limited."
"Here, take this. When you’ve exhausted your Star Power, take a sip to recover, then continue releasing the skill."
"Improving your Star Power passively means you can only be considered Semi-Awakened."
"Later, after I’ve done more research, I’ll try to figure out a way to get you Star Veins. Then you’ll truly become a Star Core Warrior."
"Great! Haha, great! Lu Lin, brother, thank you so much!"
Da Xiang was deeply impressed by Lu Lin’s exceptional abilities.
"Alright, alright. Go call Wang Juan in."
Beaming, Da Xiang left the Cultivation Room and called Wang Juan in.
Lu Lin repeated the process, guiding Wang Juan to comprehend a Water Attribute Star Skill called ’Water Ball’.
This Star Skill could condense a ball of water using Star Power, which could then be thrown to attack an enemy.
However, considering Wang Juan’s total Star Power and mental strength, the water ball would probably fall to the ground halfway.
It would be pretty good for daily drinking water, though.
The water ball condensed by Star Power was pure, uncontaminated, and contained various trace elements. From now on, Mom won’t have to worry about me not having water to drink when I’m out!
What Lu Lin found amusing was that Wang Juan was Water and Da Xiang was Fire. It looked like they were destined not to be together. All those sayings—’water and fire are merciless,’ ’as incompatible as water and fire,’ ’water and fire cannot abide each other,’ and the imagery of ’deep waters and scorching flames’—all underscored that water and fire cannot coexist. By that same logic, Wang Juan and Da Xiang could never be together. Fated to meet, perhaps, but not destined to be a couple.
After successfully guiding Wang Juan, Lu Lin called Da Xiang back in and said to them both, "You two, you must keep the fact that you have Star Skills a secret from everyone, understand?"
"This matter is a secret for now."
"Also, I’m giving each of you two bottles of Star Power Recovery Potion. Take them and use them to improve your Star Power as quickly as possible."
