A wasteland.
As far as the eye can see, besides endless desolation, there's nothing else.
When Jiang Yueming entered Lu Lin's Star Power Domain, this was the scene he saw.
No wind.
No clouds.
No flowers or green leaves.
No mountains and rivers either.
It's as if the world had just formed, reflecting the face of the entire earth.
Jiang Yueming navigated his consciousness within the Star Power Domain, amazed in his heart.
According to his experience, Lu Lin's Star Power Domain spans 36 square meters.
Instead of the 101 square meters he had previously sensed.
So it turns out, the area of a Star Power Domain can indeed shrink and diminish.
The illusion of an endless view is merely a guise to the entrant, leading them to mistakenly believe the Star Power Domain is infinite. In reality, every Star Skill Instructor's Star Power Domain is limited.
Jiang Yueming sensed for a while and then took the initiative to exit.
Watching Lu Lin slowly open his eyes in front of him, Jiang Yueming showed a trace of gratification on his face.
"Lu Lin, not bad."
Lu Lin smiled softly, saying nothing.
After calming his mood, Jiang Yueming continued teaching Lu Lin the skills essential and obligatory for a Star Skill Instructor:
Guiding.
Star Skill Guiding isn't just about having a Star Power Domain; it requires guiding the spiritual consciousness of the entrant.
This guiding differs from the active guiding of the Designated School.
The Natural School emphasizes that comprehension and development of Star Skills should all flow naturally.
Through environmental influence, allowing Star Core Warriors to find the Star Skill most suitable for them is the key philosophy when guiding Star Skills in the Natural School.
"Guiding, the most important thing is to observe!"
"See into the human heart, seeing what the martial artist entering the domain truly desires."
"Based on the other's thoughts and consciousness, actively generate entirely identical or relatively similar scenarios."
"But this observation isn't about listening to what martial artists say or do superficially."
"These are merely external expressions, for instance, the War Cry, this Star Skill requires the martial artist to possess a fearless heart to have a chance to guide and comprehend it."
"Some martial artists might appear brave and fearless in front of you, unafraid of sacrifice, but this doesn't represent their inner selves."
"While some people, although silent on the surface, possess a strong and unwavering mind."
"These qualities require us, as Star Skill Instructors, to have insightful eyes that can see through the human heart."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"I can."
Lu Lin, when comprehending Star Skills yesterday in the school multimedia classroom, didn't show Jiang Yueming his bravery and fearlessness, yet he was able to comprehend the War Roar Star Skill in one shot.
This exemplifies Jiang Yueming's grasp of the human heart.
Jiang Yueming, being a Master-level Star Skill Instructor, has seen too many martial artists with all kinds of character, temperament, and habits, hence his extensive knowledge.
Accumulated over a century of experience enables him to effortlessly achieve this.
But ordinary novice instructors can't.
Seeing Lu Lin nod, Jiang Yueming knows he understands his intentions.
However, Lu Lin is just getting acquainted, so understanding is fine. Achieving this requires accumulation over time.
"Alright, today's course ends here."
"If you have time, you can practice releasing your Star Power Domain more. With sufficient Star Power, enrich the elements within your domain. Now, it's too barren."
"Also, the ability to observe the human heart before guiding, this needs constant practice."
"I suggest you go out more, participate in social activities, and encounter different people, things, and matters, which will greatly benefit you."
Jiang Yueming remembered guiding graduates at Golden Sword High School yesterday.
The other students were eager to get to the front, even wanting to rush to the podium for guidance.
Only Lu Lin and another chubby kid sat in the far corner of the classroom, clearly the type not fond of socializing.
"Understood, Teacher."
Lu Lin, with a bitter smile in his heart, knows his own situation better than anyone.
His parents have low income and the family is still behind on loans.
Even the slightly less affluent classmates can occasionally afford a meal at the school canteen.
As for him, since childhood, he's had very few meals of real food.
Ever since junior high, he has been surviving on nutritional meals daily.
With such circumstances, how could he relate with others? Of course, this is also related to Lu Lin's focus on practicing swordsmanship and body refinement.
"Good, spend some more time cultivating here then."
"I booked the time slot for another 2 hours."
"Alright, Teacher, take care."
Lu Lin accompanied Jiang Yueming to the elevator, then quickly returned to the Cultivation Room.
Even without Jiang Yueming's advice, he wanted to stay and practice a bit longer.
The Earth-Type Star Vessel's refinement degree has improved somewhat, but the Second Talent's Star Vessel's refinement degree has skyrocketed.
Lu Lin felt he might be able to enhance the Second Talent Star Vessel's refinement degree to Zero Level, Ten Stages today.
Closing the Cultivation Room's door, Lu Lin opened the booklet Zuo Zhenyu gave him this morning.
The Federation Military's "Elite Refinement Method"
Supposedly, it enables direct cultivation to the Golden Body Star Warrior level.
Golden Body Star Warrior, a level higher than Jiang Yueming's Level 6 Star Warrior.
Jiang Yueming, after painstaking cultivation for over a hundred years, only reached the Level 6 Peak.
Lu Lin, filled with excitement, began his cultivation.
The "Elite Refinement Method's" cultivation requires substantial time and effort.
The main training task for Federal Soldiers is to refine their internal Star Vessel using this method.
Nonetheless, few martial artists in society use this method.
Elite Refinement Method requires using Star Power to repetitively refine the Star Vessel at a 0.1% progress rate, neither too fast nor too slow.
Just like the disciplined commands of the army, martial artists must exert 100% control over the refinement progress.
Even within the military, only elite soldiers can cultivate the Elite Refinement Method.
Ordinary soldiers are trained with a different method, "Soldier King Refinement Method," which we won't discuss now.
Carefully reviewing the star power extraction and refinement method of "Elite Refinement Method," feeling confident, Lu Lin began refining.
The incident of rashly expanding the Star Power Domain beforehand reminded Lu Lin.
In the future, he must deliberate before taking action.
Extract Star Power.
Lu Lin relaxed his mind, striving to perceive the ubiquitous Star Power Factors.
Under the effect of Perceive Star Skill.
The surrounding Star Power Factors seemed like monks on lice heads, encircling Lu Lin.
Extract!
Differing from before when Star Power passively entered, Lu Lin actively took action this time.
Suddenly, silver-glowing Star Power Factors like flowing water poured towards Lu Lin's body.
Once the Star Power Factors entered the body, they quickly moved into the Star Core under Lu Lin's guidance.
Accumulated Star Power within the Star Core grew increasingly abundant.
Lu Lin temporarily paused his Star Power extraction, turning instead to use Star Power to refine his Second Star Vein.
After all, the progress of the Second Star Vein now far exceeds that of the Earth-Type Star Vessel.
Once the refinement degree reaches 100% and advances, the quality of Star Power will significantly improve.
By then, using the elevated Star Power to refine the Earth-Type Star Vessel would yield twice the result with half the effort, wouldn't it?
Next, according to the Elite Refinement Method, he began refining at a rate of 0.1%.
