Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 129 First meeting
[Level 4 Archer: Ice King - Frozen Snowfield: 1v1 Duel - Looking for a beating, 14-win streak, the loser will call me daddy]

The archer's 15-game winning streak has been changed to 14-game winning streak...

Grass?
Losing one game means losing one more win streak, right? And after just beating him, he didn't call me "daddy."

Never mind... Lu Cang doesn't have the habit of having others call him "Dad".

Next, Lu Cang fought a total of 9 level 4 competitors as a warm-up.

After experiencing it firsthand, I felt that their strength was similar to that of a level 4 lord-level monster.

If it were a one-on-one fight against a lord-level monster, given the difference in intelligence between humans and monsters, they would probably both be able to kill it single-handedly.

But it's also possible that the people I encountered were all quite capable.

Those who are willing to open rooms and accept challenges must have some skill; they can't be so weak that they're looking for a beating.

Ugh, my heart is itching to get one.

I really want to try out my warrior's combat skills. I changed to a warrior but don't use them, and it feels like ants are crawling inside me.

Lu Cang stopped fighting and entered the Observer's Gate.

I randomly picked a paid arena that looked interesting and sat down.

These paid-viewing arenas are usually frequented by highly skilled players.

While watching the match from the arena's spectator stands, Lu Cang also took the opportunity to decipher the documents the Church of Life had given him.

"Regarding the location of the Fountain of Life."

"The Church of Death's Centennial Report..."

"Nine-fold heart skin continuation?"

"Life Reshaping Method".

These secrets are not all related to the Church of Death.

It seems that the Church of Life has been accumulating these things for a long time, struggling to find someone who can decipher them. Now that I have appeared, I can help them solve these mysteries.

The profession of "deciphering scholar" is one in a million.

A high level of spirituality is essential for rising to a high position.

Low spirituality means weak thinking ability.

It's hard to imagine a decryption scholar with weak critical thinking skills rising to a high position.

Lu Cang could foresee that he might maintain a long-term cooperative relationship with the Church of Life in the future.

Deciphering is a lucrative profession.

It should be said that there is a considerable demand for knowledge-based jobs.

The battle has already begun in the arena below.

Lu Cang specifically arranged a match between a mage and an archer.

This time, Lu Cang no longer focused on one thing, but instead multitasked.

While deciphering the mystery, watch the battle below.

Archers are generally extremely agile.

They need to quickly create distance in order to output damage more safely.

The archer has the longest attack range among mainstream combat classes.

In other words, during a battle, there will always be a distance difference between the two sides, a distance at which the archer can hit the opponent, but the opponent cannot hit the archer.

As long as the archer can maintain that distance.

This essentially sealed the archers' victory.

However, the archers were clearly at a disadvantage in this battle.

tornado.

A rain of fire descended.

Small Meteorite Technique.

Devouring pit.

Lava Technique.

Centripetal force.

……

"Oh……"

This magician knows quite a lot of spells...

The two are pulled together by gravity.

They attract each other.

Then, supplement with magic that slows down and restricts movement, trapping the archer while attacking along the possible paths the opponent might take.

The archer wanted to create distance, but the land behind him was full of lava and craters, and the direction to go around was a tornado.

Level 4 allows you to fly.

However, gravity held him back, making it difficult for him to fly. If he wanted to escape, he could only move at a snail's pace.

In this way, they would just be sitting ducks in mid-air.

"That's a very good idea."

The archer was pinned down in one area and could only rely on his agility to dodge incoming spells. At the same time, all the preparations he had made meant that the opponent didn't have much time to cast spells that could be used for direct attacks.

Arrows shot towards the mage like streaks of light!

But then the magician waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept by!
It distorted the direction of the archer's arrow.

"No chanting required - Wind Spell (Tier 2)"

This mage has also mastered a spell that can be cast without incantation.

While watching the battle on the field, Lu Cang was also writing on the fire-writing paper in his mind...

"Oh... I've solved it."

"A Century-Old Report"

"A stronghold once used by the Church of Death, and some extremely spiritual individuals whose names were recorded..."

"And, babies..."

Lu Cang looked at the deciphered report and felt a surge of disgust.

It is truly a church that extracts spirituality from infants for sacrifice.

For the past hundred years, they have been transporting living people...

It seems they have been trying a sacrificial ritual all along.

[Result of the 16rd sacrifice - No response]

[Result of the 22rd sacrifice - No response]

[Result of the 43rd sacrifice - No response]

……

Many sacrifices resulted in no response.

The battle below was over; the mage had been pierced by several arrows, but he had still won.

With the battle over, the mage's injuries had healed.

After resting for a while, I restored my magic power.

During this time, Lu Cang also deciphered several other documents: the Nine Sequences of the Heart Skin, the Method of Reshaping Life, the Location of the Fountain of Life, and the Internal List of the Church of Death.

After finishing, Lu Cang got up and prepared to leave.

I came here mainly to find a place to sit, and after solving these puzzles, I should return the documents.

And just then.

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Cang saw a blonde girl with slightly pointed ears, a high and firm chest, and skin as smooth as snow, reflecting the light.

She appeared in the center of the arena as a challenger.

Her eyes were cold and sharp.

The arena's spectator stands erupted in a cacophony of noise upon her arrival.

“Luluwei…”

"Luluwei?"

"She actually showed up here."

"I heard she hasn't been to the battle arena for several months."

"I wonder what she's been doing all this time, but I imagine she's improved quite a bit."

"I never expected that a ticket costing 2 silver would allow me to see Luluvi in ​​battle. This was totally worth it!"

Lu Cang recognized the face.

After all, they were everywhere in the City of Circles, and there were even Luluwei's support posters.

They act like he's some kind of idol in the whole city.

Lulu glanced at her opponent.

The room is named "Level 4 All-Elemental Mage, Demonstrating Mage Strategy and Gameplay."

This mage has a lot of spectators in the arena. His battle strategy is very clear, and many mages come to his arena to watch and learn.

Luluwei chose to prepare.

[Preparation complete]

Luluwei was ready, while the mage opposite her was visibly nervous.

But he still chose to begin.

[3...2...1...Battle begins]

boom!
Second-tier Earth Fire Spell.

It seems this mage has mastered quite a few spells that don't require chanting.

However, Luluwei only took one step before leaving the range of the Earth Fire spell.

He aimed the bow at the magician and simply drew it.

The mage was still using a wind spell to try and block Luluvi's impending attack! Boom!
however--

A thick, massive beam of light erupted from Luluwei's longbow! It instantly pierced through the entire arena, slamming into the very edge of the boundary!

The intense light was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes!
After all the light faded, all that could be seen was the earth billowing with dust and a deep pit as if it had been plowed by ten thousand oxen!
The earth was blasted into an arc-shaped hole.

Such destructive power.

Moreover... this beam of light arrived in an instant, giving no one time to react.

Lu Cang's pupils contracted.

This is completely different from the archers we've always seen.

Can she compare to Kaiga?

Lu Cang couldn't help but compare her to Kaiga in his mind.

Lu Cang felt a powerful sense sweep over him, and then his gaze met hers.

The spectator stands in the arena are also completely integrated with the arena itself.

However, protected by the God of War's restriction, the battle inside the arena could not affect the audience...

At this moment.

The two looked at each other.

She actually gave a cold smile.

She opened her mouth and mouthed, "Lu Cang, is it? I've finally found you."

"Don't lose before you meet me."

Lu Cang tugged at his robe.

This person has an incredibly terrifying level of awareness.

Even though she was wearing a robe that concealed her senses, she was still able to find her.

Lu Cang did not respond, but turned and left the spectator stands.

……

Leave the gate of the observer.

Lu Cang used his flesh and blood to reshape his appearance, then put on a simple and unadorned set of clothes and adopted the face of a middle-aged man.

We walked outside the arena.

He took out a whistle and blew it once, and soon a white dove with emerald wings flew over.

Lu Cang put the ring on his claw.

Immediately afterwards, the white dove sped up, darted away, and vanished from the space in an instant.

World Pigeon.

This is the way information is transmitted over long distances in the world.

In addition, there are also altars for long-distance communication.

However, this requires the two people to agree to stand on the altar so that they can have a conversation over a great distance.

Because a major break occurred in the spatial magic.

Therefore, only a few creatures that are born with this kind of bloodline ability can now accurately teleport over long distances.

The border pigeon is one of them.

Five documents were delivered to the Church of Life, and Lu Cang naturally memorized their contents.

“Luluwei…”

"No wonder he received such high praise from Izzy."

Lu Cang checked his props and equipment.

Should we try to poison her?

Archers probably don't have any antidote abilities.

Or perhaps we should try to steal her bow?
It seems a bit shameful... I feel like if I were found out, I'd be talked about for the rest of my life, and it would also lower my reputation.

Moreover, weapons carried close to the body are very difficult to steal.

Luluwei could never have imagined this at this moment.

The Root Mage who defeated Kega was contemplating all sorts of sordid and dark ideas to secure victory.

For Lu Cang, martial virtue was something that was dispensable.

You can have it when you need it, and discard it completely when you don't.

Lu Cang's principle is to achieve victory through wisdom in a clever and effortless way, and he believes that poisoning before a battle is also part of wisdom.

"It seems like nothing I do is quite convenient..."

The competition is about to begin.

In each direction of the battle arena, an additional, massive portal appeared.

"Gate of War"

"Fight! Fight! Conquer the supreme battle!"

"Sigh, what a battle-loving madman."

"It's a pity I didn't ask him how he became the God of War last time."

Lu Cang walked towards the doorway.

Passing through the portal, I felt my eligibility to participate had been verified, and after passing the verification, I entered the battle arena.

The site is an ancient city.

It's somewhat like a city within a circle, but it's mostly ruins.

Do not……

Lu Cang floated into the sky and looked around, but he could not see the boundary of the battlefield.

I don't know where this place is, but it feels like a real place.

Lu Cang attempted to fly towards the distance.

After flying for about 10 minutes, we still couldn't find the limits of this battlefield.

[The tournament – ​​the War God Cup – is about to begin]

Your opponent has entered the battlefield.

Both sides have completed their battle preparations and will begin the battle in 10 seconds.

Swish!
He felt a special spatial fluctuation pass over him, and the next second, he reappeared in the city.

"Teleportation through space..."

Lu Cang savored the fleeting sensation that had just passed over him.

This is my first time encountering spatial rules, and it feels very special.

Lu Cang's extremely high spirituality allowed him to sense that many eyes were watching him... There were many spectators at the God of War Cup.

And his opponent stood on the other side.

Lu Cang had not seen her name on the list. Her name was Anka, and she looked like a female magician.

Because he was wearing a magic robe.

However, the style seems a bit special; this magic robe looks more sophisticated and reveals snow-white thighs.

Anka was also somewhat surprised to see Lu Cang.

[Countdown - 10]

"You're also a level 3 mage?"

"Which city is it from?"

Lu Cang: "From the capital of Loren."

"What about you?"

Before the battle even started, Lu Cang planned to get some information out of the other person. He also took the opportunity to study the book "Observing Words and Expressions" last night.

Now I've learned to detect lies through subtle facial expressions and to be more adept at concealing my emotions.

“Loren…how wonderful, to be born in a land of magic.”

“I am from Rega, from Sel City.”

The other party is probably not lying; if they really are, then they are very good at disguising it.

The Kingdom of Riga... that kingdom that's currently at war with Loren.

I've heard it's a country that values ​​combat skills, and both assassins and warriors are very strong.

War and the Moon of Fire—I've heard that both kingdoms have benefited from this war, but I wonder what has happened to the common people.

[Countdown - 7]

Anka then asked, "Are you also here to travel around and experience level 4 combat?"

"No, I'm here to win the championship."

Lu Cang slightly increased his height and put on a mask, so now people would only see him as a shorter magician, not a child.

As for the title, Lu Cang relinquished it.

"The champion... he really has a big mouth."

[Countdown - 3]

Anka twirled her staff, which turned out to be long, thin, and sharp, like a spear.

"Let me make this clear from the start: although I am from Riga... I am not a weak magician."

Lu Cang nodded: "Yes, actually I'm not that weak either."

Anka felt a surge of displeasure.

The other person's tone remained completely unchanged, as if they hadn't taken her words to heart at all.

Master Loren must be looking down on her, Master Ruijia.

I'll wait until I beat you to a pulp before I hear your regrets.

It's time to let you Loren people see... the power of dual cultivation of combat and magic.
