Chapter 330: Chapter 330
"Control tower received, control tower received."
"We are about to dispatch a reconnaissance starship to investigate."
The message from the HM-370 Starship has drawn significant attention at Jupiter Spaceport.
The sudden appearance of a spatial channel outside Jupiter is definitely not just a simple greeting for the United Federal Humans.
This could very likely be a precursor to an alien race attack.
After 30 seconds, three small "Hummingbird" reconnaissance airplanes took off from the spaceport. About twelve minutes later, they will reach the location of the spatial channel to detect and gather responsive information.
At the same time, the spaceport contacted three major starship launch centers on Jupiter, asking them to delay leaving Jupiter and wait for further confirmation.
In Lu Lin’s rest cabin, Bao Hu slowly landed on the ground, and a different kind of light finally appeared in his eyes.
No matter how calm a person is, one can’t help but feel excited after advancing to the Titled King Realm.
"Mr. Bao, how do you feel?"
Zhang Xianzhi asked eagerly.
Seeing Bao Hu land, his heart was almost overflowing with envy.
Although both of them have only recently advanced to ninth level martial artists in the past decades, decades are not a short time.
An ordinary person’s life only has a few decades.
Bao Hu smiled slightly. He instinctively adjusted his glasses, "Great, unprecedentedly great. I never felt that when the world is right before my eyes, it could be so clear and intimate."
Seeing Bao Hu , Zhang Xianzhi quickly came to Lu Lin. "Lu Lin, come and help me advance too."
Lu Lin agreed with a word, then explained the rules of his Guiding Star Skills and led Zhang Xianzhi’s spiritual body into the Star Power Domain.
Since his Spiritual Strength transformed from virtual to real and became Spirit Jade, although Lu Lin has not surpassed ninth level to become a Spirit King, he felt that it’s not difficult for him to guide spiritual strength of ninth level martial artists.
As long as Lu Lin is willing, he can draw the spiritual body of any ninth level martial artist into his Star Power Domain at any time and seal it.
As long as he doesn’t encounter Titled King level combat power, Lu Lin can walk horizontally in the human world and the Exotic Battlefield.
However, despite this, Lu Lin is not overly arrogant.
When drawing people into the Star Power Domain, although his spirit is powerful, his body has no means of protection.
Low profile, he must remain low profile.
Lu Lin knows that in the Exotic Battlefield, there are not only Star Generals and demon beasts, but also mysterious, powerful organizations - Ji Gu Ming Jin.
Outside the Exotic Battlefield, there’s "Longyuan," and the masters there are likely like Chen Buming, who come and go without a trace, crossing space planes with ease, super bosses.
Hence, Lu Lin’s spiritual strength and the means to draw people into his Star Power Domain have truly become his little bottom card.
Curious, Zhang Xianzhi entered Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.
He wonders what secrets Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain, which looks similar to other Star Guides, holds, so it can help ninth level martial artists advance to Titled King.
But regardless of how long he studied, Zhang Xianzhi found no answers.
He practiced all the star skills he currently knew, and even rehearsed all the star martial arts he knew due to concern he couldn’t comprehend successfully.
This was the first time someone had practiced their star martial arts in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain, and after Zhang Xianzhi finished his practice, Lu Lin was pleasantly surprised.
The star martial arts could also be recorded.
These star martial arts are different from star skills; Lu Lin can learn these star skills.
In the Star Power Domain, there are so many star skills that Lu Lin can’t use them in reality, but star martial arts are different.
In the future, Lu Lin might become the man who mastered the most star martial arts in the entire Human Federation.
A walking Star Martial Master?
Or perhaps the interstellar version of Wang Yuyan?
Lu Lin created a volcano fire sea environment for Zhang Xianzhi, letting him comprehend star skills on his own, and stopped paying attention to him.
He wanted to try out these few star martial arts of Zhang Xianzhi.
For average mature Star Core Warriors, no matter how many star skills there are, they are never enough.
Additionally, star skills have advantages and certain disadvantages when used.
The advantage is that once a star skill is activated, it can be automatically unleashed.
Less time spent, less Star Power used, the attack is more unexpected.
But its disadvantage is also very apparent.
The flexibility is too low.
Because the functions of star skills are fixed, while the situations martial artists face in battles are complex.
This results in some star skills being unsuitable in special circumstances.
For example, if Lu Lin needs to fight underwater, he definitely can’t use armor and shield star skills. At that point, instead of defense, it would become sinking.
After condensing a spiritual body in the Star Power Domain, Lu Lin began receiving Zhang Xianzhi’s few star martial arts.
A footwork technique, Lu Lin assessed it and found it was not stronger than his Inch Step, so he temporarily ignored it.
Additionally, there was a sword technique and a saber technique.
In terms of saber technique, Zhang Xianzhi’s proficiency was clearly not as good as the sword technique, but for Lu Lin, it was different.
This saber technique called "Little Mountain Exploration" follows a meticulous and detailed style, perfectly complementing Lu Lin’s existing combat power system.
Receive it all, accept everything.
Apart from these, Zhang Xianzhi had a mental secret skill used to prevent others from exploring, which was very much needed by Lu Lin.
Although his spiritual strength has already reached the pinnacle of the Star Core Warrior level, he is just one step away from breaking through into the Titled King Realm.
Yet during this period, Lu Lin hasn’t sought out more Mental Secret Skills to learn.
This Mental Secret Skill is just right for him.
With so many gains, Lu Lin feels satisfied and refocuses his attention on Zhang Xianzhi, finding him still trying to combat the fiery scene created by Lu Lin with various ice attribute Star Skills.
It seems Zhang Xianzhi’s aptitude is quite inferior to Bao Hu’s.
Outside the starship, the reconnaissance airplane sent by Jupiter Spaceport has also arrived near the spatial channel to begin work.
This is a drone designed specifically for reconnaissance missions, equipped with more than forty cameras and energy sensing devices, along with high-speed engines for rapid evasion when under enemy attack.
Though the Human Federation is safe and stable, many stubborn interstellar bandits are still hidden amid some planetary belts.
The reconnaissance airplane is specially prepared against them.
Upon approaching the spatial channel, the forty cameras immediately captured images of the opposite side and transmitted them to the computer at the center of Jupiter Spaceport.
However, the spaceport staff and military investigators urgently called to the scene were momentarily stunned.
There were no alien races on the opposite side, but rather a lush, ancient forest.
Spatial channels are commonly used by alien races to invade human spaces; how could they appear out of nowhere?
Emerging from a deserted forest directly into the outer space of Jupiter, it all seems quite strange indeed.
Spaceport issued directives for the reconnaissance airplane to conduct multi-angle photography, complete its task, and return to the spaceport as quickly as possible.
The investigation results were also reported to HM-370’s cockpit.
"The spatial channel on the opposite side appeared too oddly; we recommend you use a better B+ level navigation route. We will quickly submit an anomaly report to the Federation’s Air Traffic Control Department, asking them to send people for further investigation."
"HM-370 received, route changed to B+ level navigation route, estimated change time 17 minutes, with 4 hours and 22 minutes on B+ route."
The seven pilots on HM-370 accepted the suggestion and began to change the navigation route.
At the same time, they informed the starship’s passengers that due to unexpectedly encountering a spatial channel, the route would be changed to head towards the alien planet, and the arrival time would be 44 minutes later than estimated.
From Lu Lin’s rest cabin, Zhang Xianzhi immediately received this message, and he indeed saw the suddenly appearing spatial channel through the cabin window, then casually shook his head without further concern.
After all, he has titled king level combat power and is now within the federation’s internal area, so what could possibly happen?
Seventeen minutes later.
HM-370 starship completed the turn; this timing is certainly fast for a normal starship.
If it were a normal starship wanting to turn, the time certainly wouldn’t be less than 30 minutes.
And at their current speed, in 30 minutes the starship might have directly entered the spatial channel.
The starship completed the turn and began accelerating. When the speed increased to reach cruising speed, a pilot in HM-370’s cockpit suddenly screamed in terror.
"Oh no, there’s another one here!" Get full chapters from novel fire.net
Others quickly interrupted their work, suddenly seeing a dark spatial channel appearing no more than 40 kilometers ahead of the starship.
Compared to the earlier spatial channel, this one was even more obscure in color.
If it hadn’t been shouted out, they might not have noticed it until entering the channel.
At a 40-kilometer distance, if on a planet, it would be no problem at all to avoid it whether on an airplane or a car.
But this is a starship.
HM-370 starship was just produced by the federation, in service for less than five years, as a super large luxury space passenger starship.
A distance of 40 kilometers could be directly reached in less than 50 seconds.
The captain immediately shouted, ordering pilots to decelerate with full force and simultaneously activate the emergency protocol to quickly relocate the passengers inside the starship.
Only forty seconds of time.
The passengers to be relocated number over a thousand.
In addition to the starship’s movement speed.
These ejected passengers might have to drift in space for at least 24 hours before rescue is possible.
But the rest cabin’s oxygen system can only be maintained for 6 hours.
"Jupiter Spaceport, this is HM-370 starship; an unknown spatial channel has suddenly appeared ahead."
"I’m about to eject the passengers inside the starship; please organize rescue quickly."
"For passengers who aren’t ejected timely, we will do our utmost to bring them back to the federation."
"May the Human Federation be eternal."
The captain quickly sent a farewell declaration to Jupiter Spaceport through the communication channel, using captain authority to eject all rest cabins in the starship that meet conditions.
The shrill alarm sounded through every corner of the starship.
Countless wealthy and noble passengers frantically rushed to their respective rest cabins.
Before this, they were either dining in the restaurant or socializing and chatting in the entertainment area.
No one expected this journey would end up this way.
When he led Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu inside to guide Star Skills, he had already activated the do-not-disturb mode.
If usually, it would be no issue.
But now, as the starship is about to enter the spatial channel, this do-not-disturb mode can only be deactivated by Lu Lin.
Once deactivated, it can respond to the starship control center’s ejection command.
Within the rest cabin, the only conscious person, Bao Hu, suddenly turned pale.
He barely managed to send a message to the Titled King Division before blacking out, and following the starship into the spatial channel.
From the Jupiter Spaceport base, through the Watch Mirror, they could only watch as the HM-370 starship, unable to decelerate or change direction in time, was swallowed up by the monster’s maw and gradually vanished.
