The Awakening Light of the Earth Element moved forward, and in Lu Lin's consciousness, a pure and transparent Star Core also emerged.
The two linked together like magnets.
The transparent Star Core was dyed with golden light, gradually turning golden.
From the appearance of the Awakening Light, to Lu Lin's guiding, and now the linkage of the Awakening Light and the Star Core, forming the Star Veins.
All these happened perfectly, just like a textbook example.
Yet, Lu Lin felt a bit disappointed in his heart.
Although, as long as one awakens, it is considered a success.
Although, as long as one awakens, they can become a Star Core Warrior.
Although, as long as one awakens, Lu Lin's parents' efforts on Saturn would be meaningful.
Although, as long as one awakens, Lu Lin's future would be bright.
However, this situation was completely different from what Lu Lin had imagined.
The awakening of the Earth Talent, long ago, was called the Earth-based Talent; later, to sound better, people began to call it the Earth Element.
In current textbooks and official federation records, the true scientific name of the Earth Element Talent is still Earth-based.
The main development path for Star Core Warriors with an awakened Earth Element Talent is becoming an Earth Warrior.
Lu Lin had known for a long time that this Earth Warrior is similar to a tank in games, a profession with high health and defense, sacrificing speed and attack power for absolute defense and recovery capabilities.
To put it bluntly, it's a meat shield.
Even when entering different regions on the Exotic Battlefield, it would be a role specialized in taking on monsters and absorbing damage.
Earth Warrior is not the only choice for Earth Element Awakeners.
There is also the Earth Mage.
But this is absolutely not something Lu Lin could consider.
Those who choose the mage path either come from ridiculously wealthy families or have a mentor with similar elemental talent guiding them.
Neither the Earth Warrior nor the Earth Mage is what Lu Lin wants.
What Lu Lin wants is to awaken the Gold Element Talent and become a graceful and aggressive swordsman in the future.
In his heart, which was helpless, he realized that he could not change the situation at this point.
In the Consciousness Universe, the golden light from the Awakening Light had completely merged into the Star Core.
The linkage part of the two had become one, indestructible.
The Awakening Light, after the light faded, turned entirely white.
This is the Star Veins.
At the bottom of the Star Veins, there was a trace of green so faint that it was barely noticeable, representing the current refining degree of the Star Veins.
According to the Three Major Laws of Star Core Warrior, when refining the Star Veins during awakening with the help of the Awakening Light, the maximum degree will not exceed 1%.
After the refining of the Star Veins was complete, Lu Lin had nothing else to do in the Consciousness Universe, so it was time to exit.
But at this moment.
In the distant Consciousness Universe, a vertical eye suddenly appeared.
"The eye" was incredibly large, bigger than the largest star Lu Lin had ever seen in space documentaries.
The owner of this eye was unknown.
The vast white of the eye was full of intricate, golden patterns.
The black eyeball was marked with ancient, mysterious, and unknown symbols.
As Lu Lin's consciousness focused on the ever-approaching "eye," a force suddenly emanated from the black eyeball, trying to pull his consciousness in.
Lu Lin wanted to retreat.
But he couldn't move at all.
Not good!
This eye, larger than an entire star, had "seen" him!
It quickly moved toward Lu Lin's position.
"What the hell!"
Lu Lin was terrified.
In a thousand years, no Star Core Warrior had ever experienced anything like this.
An eye appeared in the Consciousness Universe.
And right now, this eye was flying towards him.
"Exit, exit!"
Lu Lin desperately tried to leave the Consciousness Universe.
But he simply couldn't do it.
The "Three Major Laws" that Teacher Li had previously mentioned were of no use at all.
Lu Lin was frantic.
His consciousness seemed to be fixed by that eye, unable to move or exit, only able to watch helplessly as the eye flew towards him.
The eye... got closer.
Closer and closer.
Lu Lin hated this feeling of being unable to do anything but wait for doom.
In the Consciousness Universe, Lu Lin had no concept of time; it could have been very fast or very long.
The eye arrived in front of Lu Lin.
Then... the bottom corner of the eye suddenly did something Lu Lin never could have imagined.
It... linked up with Lu Lin's Star Core.
This!!
How is this possible!!!
Lu Lin was aghast.
The whites of the eyes, golden patterns, black pupils, and the mysterious, unknown symbols within the eyes all surged into Lu Lin's Star Core.
Lu Lin's Star Core ultimately evolved into an... eyeball.
The golden color disappeared.
The eye whites disappeared.
Even the mysterious, awe-inspiring symbols were gone.
Only a strange Star Core, transformed into an eyeball, remained.
In the Consciousness Universe, the gigantic "eye" linked to Lu Lin's Star Core also vanished and transformed into a beam of Awakening Light, standing alongside the previously formed Earth-Type Star Vessel above the eyeball Star Core.
Beginning... Linking...
Linking... Success...
From the eyeball Star Core, an overwhelming energy abruptly rose, refining the Star Veins metamorphosed from the "eye."
The green silk line rose almost instantaneously.
Lu Lin was astonished.
Judging from this refining progress, wouldn't the second Star Vein directly leap past the First Stage and reach the Second Stage?
Due to the difficulties in refining Star Cores, in the level classification of Star Core Warriors, besides first level and second level, different stages are defined for each cultivation level based on the degree of refinement.
Refinement degree 0.01%-9.99%, is the First Stage.
Refinement degree 10%-19.99%, is the Second Stage, and so on.
According to the Three Major Laws of Star Core Warrior, Awakeners' initial refining of the Star Veins would not exceed 1%. Only after learning specialized methods of Stellar Core Refining could they greatly increase the refinement degree.
However, before Lu Lin, the refining degree of his second Star Vein surpassed the First Stage in an instant, no, it exceeded the Second Stage.
This is very unscientific.
Upon reaching the Second Stage, the refinement continued to rise.
Compared to the initial jumps by leaps, the speed had slowed significantly now.
Finally, upon reaching the Third Stage refinement degree, the green stopped rising.
Everything calmed down as if nothing had happened.
Lu Lin sighed in relief, feeling like he could move freely with his "body" again.
He instinctively wanted to exit the Consciousness Universe.
But Lu Lin's movement suddenly halted.
He seemed to... have automatically comprehended a skill.
[Perception]
Teacher Li had mentioned that students who successfully awaken should report their attributes and refinement degree, then they would be guided by the school's teachers to comprehend skills.
But now, Lu Lin inexplicably had an extra Star Vein, and even comprehended a skill himself.
The first Star Vein was Earth Element, so what would be the name of the second Star Vein... Eye System?
If he couldn't understand it, he decided not to overthink it.
Even as bizarre as traversing had happened to Lu Lin, having an extra Star Vein didn't seem so hard to accept.
Perhaps, this is the benefit of being a Transversal.
Unable to change the reality, Lu Lin tried to think positively.
The Star Core is the core of a Star Core Warrior.
The Star Veins determine how powerful a Star Core Warrior can become, and how far they can go.
Lu Lin now had two Star Veins, doubling his energy reserves, allowing him to comprehend double the skills, so when he faces battles in the future on the Exotic Battlefield, surely his opponents would find double the joy.
Wait a moment...
Lu Lin suddenly thought.
He was an Earth Warrior, responsible for protecting his teammates, and offense wasn't even his job.
ε=(´ο｀*))) sigh.
Life is too hard.
