Coming out of the Consciousness Universe, Lu Lin saw many fellow students already comprehending star skills and exchanging excitedly.
"Lu Lin, what skill did you comprehend?"
Someone nearby leaned over and asked.
Lu Lin turned to look, wondering who this person was and why they knew his name.
Fair-skinned, chubby, with eyebrows that were especially comical, shaped like 8:20.
Lu Lin didn't respond right away. Instead, he asked, "What skill did you comprehend?"
"Me? I comprehended an incredible star skill."
"Precision!"
"Precision?"
Lu Lin thought about it, knowing that this is an essential star skill for archers.
When shooting from a distance, the Precision skill can help a warrior aim accurately at their opponent.
However, after taking a good look up and down, he felt that just by the guy's build alone, this star skill was wasted on him.
"Hey, what's that look in your eyes?"
Zhou Ziqiang sensitively sensed Lu Lin's emotion and, a bit unhappy, raised his comical eyebrows and said:
"Lu Lin, what kind of look is that?"
"Believe it or not, once on the Exotic Battlefield, just with your small build, your brother here can take on three of you."
"Oh."
Lu Lin casually replied and didn't want to continue the conversation with Zhou Ziqiang. He looked up at the podium.
He saw an old man in a white coat standing there, with his eyes slightly closed.
This should be the Guide who helped them comprehend star skills.
The old man's hair was streaked with black and gray, and his figure was lean. Although his eyes were shut, his right fingers were constantly tapping the podium.
Obviously, guiding the skills of a few hundred people was quite easy for him.
"Hehe, this Guide ranks eleventh among the Top 100 Elite Guides. That's Master Jiang Yueming."
Zhou Ziqiang explained to Lu Lin.
It wasn't because Zhou Ziqiang was particularly generous.
This time, he was able to comprehend "Precision" all thanks to Master Jiang Yueming, so he felt grateful and mentioned it to Lu Lin.
"The eleventh-ranked Master Jiang Yueming?!"
Lu Lin was amazed.
Although he had expected that Golden Sword High would invite a master to help them awaken, he didn't think it would be Jiang Yueming.
In the circle of star skill guides, to rank in the top 100 signifies someone possessing masterful skills.
Last year, Lu Qianzhao, who was exceptionally good at guiding the offensive-type Five Elements Attribute skills, was responsible for guiding Golden Sword High.
Those who rank in the top 20 are Guides with master titles recognized by the Federation.
It was said that even a Level 5 Star Core Warrior needed to line up for 3-6 months, or longer, to find such a guide to help comprehend star skills.
Now, with such a high-end guide on board at Tongyuan Golden Sword Middle School, how much must the school have spent to invite him?
"Amazing, right? Astonishing, right? Unbelievable, right?"
"Having Master Jiang Yueming guide your first star skill will grant you great prestige when you mention it later."
"And also..."
"And what?"
Lu Lin asked.
Zhou Ziqiang leaned back strategically, his eyebrows reverting to that comical 8:20 shape, almost like he had "Just ask me, I dare you" written all over his face.
Lu Lin turned his head, not wanting to indulge this little fatty's pompous attitude.
If he wants to say it, then say it. If not, whatever.
Zhou Ziqiang got anxious seeing Lu Lin turn away.
After just piquing Lu Lin's interest, watching him suddenly drop the subject was a bit of a blow.
"Moreover, let me tell you something—don't go spilling this around, all right?"
"The reason our school managed to invite Master Jiang Yueming this time is because Master Jiang is reaching an age where his star core and star veins are starting to shrink. If I'm not mistaken, this graduation season should be Master Jiang's last public appearance."
Zhou Ziqiang said mysteriously.
Lu Lin understood, looking at Master Jiang Yueming on stage with a tinge of sadness.
Becoming a Star Core Warrior doesn't mean you can rest on your laurels.
Whether entering the Exotic Battlefield to battle alien races or handling logistics, scientific research, skill guidance, and teaching within the federation—
Star Core Warriors enjoy high social status and generous pay, but they must also bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations.
The Jiang Yueming before them was a clear example.
Having worked for the Federation for over a century, now with shrinking star core and veins, and star power not enough to sustain basic physiological functions—retirement at this point was inevitable.
Lu Lin sighed with a heartfelt sigh.
No matter what, he had enormously benefited from Master Jiang this time by comprehending the Stone Skin and War Cry star skills.
If in the future there are no chances, so be it.
Otherwise, should Master Jiang need help, he might lend a hand in return.
For a long time,
all the students in the multimedia classroom had finished comprehending their skills. Master Jiang Yueming slowly opened his eyes on the podium, smiling at the vibrant students.
"Students,"
"I am very pleased to guide you in comprehending star skills as my career comes to an end."
Master Jiang's voice emerged from the speakers.
Although it sounded strong, there was a sense of depleted energy in his words.
Lu Lin increasingly felt that Jiang Yueming's health was worse than the outside perceived.
"Seeing all of you, I can't help but recall when I first awakened my talent and comprehended a star skill."
"Those were truly cherished moments of boundless delight."
Master Jiang spoke slowly, reminiscing about his younger days.
No student, no matter how restless, would interrupt him at this time.
After a few minutes, Master Jiang chuckled lightly.
"Pardon me, taking up so much of your time with an old man's rambles of bygone days."
"Back to the topic, all of you did exceptionally well in this guidance. All students who entered my guiding domain successfully comprehended suitable star skills."
"Among you, there are three students… cough, cough… three students who comprehended Double Star Skills."
"I invite these three geniuses to stand up and accept the blessings of this old man."
Lu Lin was stunned.
Aside from himself, there were two others who comprehended Double Star Skills?
Wasn't it said that those who comprehend Double Star Skills are one in a million?
How come in a small Golden Sword High, with merely 200 would-be Star Core Warriors, three had comprehension of Double Star Skills?!
Or was this—
the powerful magic of a guide ranked eleventh in the top 100?
Among the crowd, a girl with a ponytail stood up.
"Holy crap, it's Luo Ling!"
Zhou Ziqiang cried out in shock, clearly recognizing the girl named Luo Ling.
"If it's Luo Ling, then it makes sense. Dude, did you know that when she awakened this morning, she activated the Lightning Talent?"
"Now that she's also comprehended Double Star Skills, whoo, she's definitely taking off."
Listening to Zhou Ziqiang's explanation, Lu Lin nodded emphatically.
The strength of this classmate Luo Ling seemed to surpass his own.
Lightning Talent.
Double Star Skills.
Was this classmate Luo Ling cheating or what!
Amid the discussions, another student stood up.
This time, it was a tall, broad-shouldered youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, dressed in a neatly tailored suit. His presence was captivating, with an inherent heroic spirit.
"Holy crap! Zuo Yiming?!"
"Why is he here at school with us, receiving guidance for comprehending star skills!"
"Could it be that this guy knew beforehand that Master Jiang Yueming would come!"
Zhou Ziqiang's eyes bore a look as if he'd seen a ghost.
Even more surprised than when seeing Luo Ling comprehend Double Star Skills.
