Chapter 21 - Chapter 19: Come Hit Me!

Lu Lin caught the falling Tie Tou and checked his breathing.

Tie Tou's chest suffered a heavy blow, and the bulletproof inner armor was caved in a large piece.

Judging by the shape, it should have been a kick to the chest.

In just a few seconds, Tie Tou was injured so severely, indicating the opponent's leg strength.

"Priest, come down to save him."

Lu Lin shouted.

"Understood."

Zuo Yiming, through the internal channel, also realized the situation was not optimistic, and he put away his idea of proving himself to his father with strength.

Handling the injuries of the severely wounded hostage on the third floor, Zuo Yiming leapt down holding the hostage.

Handing the hostage to Lu Lin, Zuo Yiming gathered a ball of white light in his hand.

A trace of redness instantly appeared on Tie Tou's pale face.

Looking at Zuo Yiming, after all, he was just a high school student who had recently awakened; continuously rescuing two people left his body drained of Star Power.

"Priest, can you still go on?"

Lu Lin joked, holding the severely injured hostage with one hand and asked.

"Not gonna die, just take the two wounded out first."

Zuo Yiming said weakly.

Lu Lin nodded, made two trips to deliver the people out, and handed them over to the doctor waiting on the side.

"You rest here for a while, I'll go up and check."

Zuo Yiming wanted to pull Lu Lin back, but lacked the strength, so he could only watch Lu Lin leap up, "Be careful."

Lu Lin turned a deaf ear.

The reason he decided to participate in this mission was not to play the hero.

Earlier, in the video at the Command Center, when he saw Luo Ling's sister being shot by the robber, Lu Lin felt a pang in his heart.

It reminded him of an incident from his childhood.

Due to the harsh environment on Saturn, storms frequently swept through, and the federation's management on Saturn wasn't as adept as on Blue Star.

This led to many criminal groups operating outside the normal human society on Saturn.

They committed all sorts of atrocities, a group of vampires preying on ordinary people.

During his primary school years, there was one time his parents didn't come to pick him up three hours after school.

It was later revealed that the bus his parents took was hijacked by criminals, taken to a remote location, and used to extort wealth and supplies from Lu Ping Meng Yu's company.

Fortunately, many workers were held hostage, and the company paid what was demanded to the robbers to secure their safe return.

This incident was Lu Lin's most painful childhood memory.

He almost lost his parents.

Therefore, today, seeing Luo Ling's sister and so many kidnapped hostages, Lu Lin chose to stand up.

He hoped that if one day his parents faced a similar situation, there would be powerful Star Core Warriors to rescue them.

Leaping to the third floor, Lu Lin quickly assessed the situation and entered the hall on the third floor.

Fire Dragon Captain was confronting a robber. Although clearly not the opponent's equal, he managed to hold on for a while.

Jin Dao's body lay outside Room 302's door, blood everywhere.

Two team members were jointly combating a peculiar masked adversary.

As he got closer, Lu Lin perceived that the masked person was manipulating translucent threads.

The two Star Martial team members clearly had never faced such a situation, fumbling as they fought, verging on defeat.

As for the hostages on the third floor, each hid in their rooms, afraid to come out.

Lu Lin quickly judged the situation, leaping to the two team members' side.

These two team members were named Eagle Claw and Bao Zi.

Facing the peculiar opponent's attack, lines of blood appeared on their hands, legs, and faces.

Lu Lin drew out the electromagnetic paralysis pistol, carefully aiming.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he lifted his arm, he felt it go light.

Looking up, he saw that the thread manipulating person noticed his action, sent a thread over, and snatched away the pistol.

This person, fighting two foes, still had the capacity to grab Lu Lin's pistol.

Their strength could not be underestimated.

Lu Lin pulled out a dagger and joined the fray.

At this moment, he wished the dagger in his hand could turn into a long sword.

After all, throughout high school, he primarily practiced the three sword techniques.

Lu Lin joining the battle momentarily eased the tension for Eagle Claw and Bao Zi.

But the robber showed no fear, the threads dancing around like a tight defense.

This was a combat method tailored for countering group attacks; the more people, the tighter his defense.

Without breaking through extremes, even three, five, or ten people couldn't threaten him.

"Stone Skin!"

The threads enveloped him.

Lu Lin hastily activated the Stone Skin Star Skill, as the threads skimmed over his skin with an awful screech.

No breach!

Lu Lin was delighted.

It was the first time he truly appreciated the benefits of strong defense after activating the Earth Talent.

Moreover, with his Second Star Vein providing him with Zero Level Third Stage Star Power, within a short time, as long as the Star Power persisted, Lu Lin wouldn't be sliced by the threads.

If that's the case...

Lu Lin suddenly conceived a bold idea.

As the threads approached again, Lu Lin didn't evade; instead, he swung his arm around in circles.

"You!"

The robber froze, evidently not expecting Lu Lin's counter.

The brief pause stalled his movements.

But nearby, Eagle Claw and Bao Zi's eyes gleamed.

Unexpectedly, a high school student who'd just awakened could afford them such an opportunity.

Eagle Claw's hands, coated in a golden sheen, lunged like iron towards the opponent.

Gold System Star Skill: Hardening.

Bao Zi, not wanting to be outdone, mustered a ball of flickering flame in his hand and thrust it at the opponent.

Fire System Star Skill: Fire Cannon.

The thread-wielding robber twisted his body, trying to dodge the dual attacks.

Yet unexpectedly, Lu Lin, holding his threads wrapped around his arm, suddenly shouted:

"Come at me!"

The man immediately found himself propelled by an invisible force towards Lu Lin.

Bang!

Bang!

Eagle Claw's hands gripped the man's arms.

Positioning his chest directly in line with Bao Zi's firing Fire Cannon.

"The God of Black Shark is eternal!"

The man's voice was sharp and high-pitched.

Held by Eagle Claw, he knew he couldn't escape the attack, yet showed no fear or dread.

His eyes were fiery red, his mind dazed.

"The God of Black Shark is eternity..."

"Boom!"

The Star Skill Fire Cannon pounded his chest, blasting out a terrifying large hole.

The wound charred, and three seconds later, blood began to flow.

"Screw your M, damn God of Black Shark."

Eagle Claw spat a mouthful, looking at Bao Zi, pale and seemingly drained.

"Can't you control your strength?"

"If I hadn't dodged quickly, you'd have blasted me too."

Bao Zi gave a wry laugh, gesturing to the still-fighting Fire Dragon Captain, his arm hanging limp.

"Bao Zi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, hurry and help the Captain."

Bao Zi said, slumped on the floor, just suffering from Star Power exhaustion, needing a brief rest.

The recent strike had completely expended his internal Star Power.

His Star Power was truly depleted.

"Okay, you rest here for a while."

Speaking, Lu Lin and Eagle Claw were already rushing towards where Fire Dragon was.

"Hahaha!"

"The God of Black Shark is eternal!"

The robber battling Fire Dragon laughed, launching several strong attacks.

Before Lu Lin and Eagle Claw could arrive, he leapt in retreat, out the third-floor window.
