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

Chapter 134 The Loser

Finally, Luluwei took off the outermost layer of clothing covering her.

Luluwei's body was pierced through—

His body plummeted toward the ground.

The winner has been determined; without a doubt, it is Lu Cang.

Luluwei's remaining consciousness looked at Lu Cang, who was still clutching her calf and right arm.

You guy.

When will you finally let go?

Darkness of consciousness.

The last thought vanished completely.

……

Only after seeing Luluwei's body disappear did Lu Cang breathe a sigh of relief in the center of the arena.

Hopefully, we won't encounter archers in open terrain in future battles.

After the battle with Luluwei.

Lu Cang developed a slight psychological aversion to archers.

"We must find a way to ensure we can get close to the enemy..."

"Or find a way to imprison the enemy in a space from which they cannot escape."

Lu Cang muttered to himself.

This battle made me realize my shortcomings in certain areas.

The reflection following the victory did not last long.

Because the surrounding scenery was disappearing rapidly, it gradually turned into a pure, blank space.

And the soul seemed to feel a sense of relief and refreshment.

Lu Cang felt through his spirituality that he was no longer being watched by a large audience.

Lu Cang looked to the left and right.

However, he wasn't the only one in this place.

Hunmu, Luluwei, Yangang, Faxize, Vivianke...

All eight players in the final round are still there.

The group looked at Lu Cang with very complicated expressions.

Fazize had a relieved expression on his face.

As a puppeteer, he lost to Lu Cang and always felt that he lost inexplicably.

They had no idea why they were found out and instantly eliminated.

Lu Cang didn't make many moves.

Breaking his offensive was also quite simple and straightforward.

That's why Fazize felt frustrated, but in the end he found that he had actually defeated Luluwei.

Suddenly, I felt that it wasn't so frustrating after all.

Losing to him doesn't seem so shameful anymore.

Meanwhile, Hunmu, who had fought against Lu Cang, had extremely complicated feelings.

He also watched the final match between Lu Cang and Luluwei.

He immediately recognized that Lu Cang had used his Root Magic when he caught up with Luluwei.

"Shifting and changing"

Why? Why will he learn my Root Magic?
Hunmu couldn't understand why, even if someone deliberately taught Root Magic, no one else could learn it.

Not to mention...

You can learn it in one glance.

Moreover, just how many Root Magic spells does he possess?
"Elemental Void" should also be a source magic, as should "Void Devouring," plus the "Shifting Spheres" he stole from himself...

Three?

Could it be that the true function of his Root Magic is simply to imitate the magic of others?
Hunmu didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Feeling the gazes focused on him, Lu Cang simply maintained a polite and friendly smile.

Why are you looking at me...

Haven't you ever seen a handsome kid before?

"Haha!! Not bad!!"

Suddenly, a voice came.

Kaiga's phantom appeared before everyone.

Oh ho.

We meet again, Kaiga.

At this moment, the Kaiga before my eyes did not seem as real as the Tower of War, but rather like a faint projection that could dissipate at any moment.

"In recent years!! The quality of combat has been getting higher and higher!! It truly shows me a world where martial arts are flourishing!!"

Kaiga had absolutely no airs of mystery, like a god.

He speaks frankly and straightforwardly.

"Lu Cang!! Your performance was more active than I expected!!"

Swish!
A densely packed scroll appeared before Lu Cang's eyes.

"This is the reward I promised as the champion!!"

[Professional Secret Scroll: The Prophet]

The prophet's scroll fell into Lu Cang's hands.

Lu Cang did not conduct an immediate appraisal.

After all, the other party was a so-called god, and even if it was just a projection, it was still standing in front of him.

"Haha!! If we meet again next time, I'll definitely give you an extra reward!!"

Kaiga made a promise to Lu Cang.

Lu Cang nodded, placed his hand on his heart, and performed a gesture of reverence.

After that, Keiga distributed consolation prizes to the remaining losers.

Actually, the consolation prizes are pretty good too.

Luluwei must have acquired a new archery skill.

The puppeteer seems to have obtained a puppet core, the summoner seems to have obtained an egg? The warrior's reward is a combat skill.

It seems that the rewards given by the God of War are all custom-made.

Only he, the champion, received the promised reward: "Professional Scroll: Prophet".

of course.

The value of this professional secret document far exceeds that of those consolation prizes.

Lu Cang put away the professional secret scroll.

After the God of War finished distributing rewards to the last person, its phantom gradually disappeared.

The exit passage has appeared, and the eight people are now gathered in this small space.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Leaving directly seems a bit...inappropriate?

But finally, someone broke the awkward atmosphere.

Fazize began, "I am Fazize from the capital of Loren. I am seeking powerful mages or mechanics to collaborate with and assist me in my research on puppets..."

"I am Hunmu, a Root Mage specializing in spatial magic. I am also based in the capital of Loren. If any of you are interested, you are welcome to discuss magic and the Root with me."

He was looking at Lu Cang when he said this.

Besides him, Lu Cang was the only other Root Mage present.

"I am Vivian, a summoner from the Kingdom of Ruijia. Uh... do I really have to introduce myself?"

Lu Cang did not wait until the very end to speak.

Instead, she said, "Dear brothers and sisters, we became friends after a fight. If I ever visit your cities in the future, I hope you will take good care of me."

Lu Cang's words eased the atmosphere considerably.

After that, everyone introduced themselves and complimented each other.

The atmosphere of the exchange gradually became much more harmonious.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Cang extracted a lot of information from them.

The war between Rega and Loren this time doesn't seem to be a friendly war, but... a real war.

It seems that Ruijia is testing Loren's strength.

However, since Izparut is currently in the Kingdom of Loren, Rega is still holding back her temper.

Although Izparut did not participate in the war.

But if they were to actually attack the country where Iz is located, it's really unclear what would ultimately happen.

Moreover, Loren was certainly not someone to be trifled with.

Although Ruijia has three level 6 combat class changers in charge.

But Loren also has a level 6 Archmage.

All of these are forces that are out in the open.

A kingdom will never expose all its strength.

In short, for various reasons, a real war between the two countries has not yet broken out, but there are indeed signs of such a war now.

Apart from this matter.

Furthermore, traces of the Church of Death have been discovered in the Kingdom of Riga, and Riga is currently hunting down members of the Church of Death.

And, regarding the latest cutting-edge developments.

There has been a new breakthrough in the study of space... Now a large part of the gaps in the knowledge of spatial magic has been filled.

The scholars at the White Pagoda are currently focusing their research on space.

The information obtained from communicating with these people was indeed different.

If you were to chat with an ordinary person in the city within a circle, you would absolutely not know these things.

They chatted for a while.

After exchanging information, they finally had to leave.

As Luluwei passed by Lu Cang, her lips moved slightly: "I'll be waiting for you at the first gate of the arena."

After saying that, Luluwei disappeared through the teleportation channel.

Lu Cang sighed softly to himself.

Then he left.

[First Gate]

The battle arena was indeed very large, and Lu Cang entered through the third gate.

It took quite a while to get to the first gate.

Upon arriving here, one's senses begin to unfold.

Lu Cang easily spotted a woman wearing a hood that obscured her face.

This hood has a sensory concealing effect.

But it couldn't hide Lu Cang's sense of impending doom.

"Sister Luluwei".

Lu Cang stepped forward.

Luluwei also saw Lu Cang, and she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Ugh.

It really is just a child.

I feel more frustrated now.

If the one who defeats me is some kind of well-established and powerful expert, then so be it.

But it really is an eight-year-old child.

"Fight me again."

Luluwei released her senses and immediately spoke to Lu Cang.

"No," Lu Cang answered decisively.

"why?"

"Because you already know my trump card."

Luluwei: "Don't you also know my trump card?" Lu Cang: "It's different."

Lu Cang was speechless.

Do you expect me to just say "I can't beat them" outright?
Don't you know how ridiculous your shooting range is?
If I were to hit you again, would you be willing to let me catch you again?
Lu Cang is not a masochist like the God of War.

I really don't want to be beaten up unilaterally.

"If you beat me this time, I'll grant you one request!" Luluwei boasted.

Lu Cang tilted his head and asked, his gaze lingering on Luluwei's body for a moment: "Sister Luluwei, any conditions are acceptable?"

Luluwei shuddered, suddenly realizing she had made the promise too easily.

But he remained strong and calm, saying, "Yes, as long as it's within my power."

"But if you lose... you have to agree to one condition."

Lu Cang pondered for a while.

In the end, she replied, "No, forget it."

Lu Cang was indeed not confident of winning.

Lu Cang didn't want to do things he wasn't sure about.

The price of agreeing to someone's request is indeed too high.

"But, Sister Luluwei, I'm very curious how you managed to dodge my magic?"

This was the question Lu Cang was most curious about.

How can someone possess such an ability, to slither away from all magic like an earthworm? Unaffected by any spells?

It's just that this question was asked.

Lu Cang didn't expect the other party to necessarily answer.

After all, how could such a trump card be easily revealed to others?

If Luluwei didn't answer, Lu Cang planned to ask Pali about the same question.

Let's see if we can get an explanation with the help of a learned scholar.

It would be even better if I could acquire this ability myself.

"You're probably referring to my clothes."

Luluwei pointed to her coat, which was a light gold and light green coat.

It's as thin and light as a cicada's wing.

"This is the reward I received in the last God of War Cup."

"Not sticking to anything."

"I used this silk thread to create a light garment. Its only effect is that it will forcibly break free from any magic, curse, lock, or restraint below the fifth rank."

So this is what it means to be completely non-sticky.

I had only heard the name before.

Only now do I realize that the equipment made from this material truly lives up to its name.

Abstaining from all of them?
That terrifying?
Speaking of which, the receptionist did introduce me to... the previous God of War Cup reward, which was the Wanbanbuzhai Silk, even more precious than the Void Spirit Starwood.

How could I have overlooked this?

I should have learned about the effects of the "Never Sticks" technique earlier; if I had known sooner, the battles wouldn't have been so difficult.

"Sister Luluwei, are you selling this dress?"

Luluwei's lips twitched slightly.

"What do you think?"

Lu Cang: "Ten million gold coins?"

Luluwei: "Not for sale!"

"Twenty million gold coins?"

Luluwei paused for a moment.

Does this kid have that much money?
However, Luluwei's answer was still very decisive: "Absolutely not selling. Give up. Even if you give me a hundred million gold coins, I won't sell."

Hearing Luluwei's answer.

Lu Cang firmly replied, "What about the two hundred million?"

ha?
Are you serious?

Two hundred million gold coins is a sum that even small and medium-sized countries cannot afford.

This is no longer a matter of strength.

Even with the ability, it's difficult to earn that much money.

Even if it's a business association, the money they earn has to be distributed among people of all ranks. Even if they earn billions, each individual might not receive more than a hundred million.

"Seriously, if I could offer 200 million gold coins, could Sister Luluwei sell me this dress?"

Lulu looked into Lu Cang's eyes.

His gaze was calm and unwavering, showing no sign of joking.

Luluwei then replied seriously, "Not for sale."

“This isn’t about the money. No matter how much money you offer, I won’t sell.”

Lu Cang let out a long sigh: "Alright."

There's nothing we can do about Luluwei's stubbornness.

Unfortunately, she wasn't a bad person either...

We cannot kill her and take the treasures she possesses.

Although I really wanted the clothes she was wearing, I also had to abide by the law and morality...

Although I really want to become stronger, I haven't reached the point where I would kill innocent people indiscriminately out of greed.

Oh, Luluwei, if only you had ulterior motives towards me, if only you had some evil intentions.

That way I can take the dress legitimately.

Luluwei had no idea what Lu Cang was thinking.

I could only sense a deep regret in his eyes.

Does he really want this dress of mine that much?

……

After meeting Luluwei, the two of them unexpectedly returned to the hotel in the center of the world together.

She lives here too.

The two of them had never met at the hotel.

After all, privacy is the top priority for this hotel.

along the way.

Lu Cang asked Luluwei a lot of questions, like a curious child.

It turns out she originally planned to join Izzy's team.

But there's a level difference between them and Iz and the others.

In the end, he stayed in the City in the Circle, honing his strength through battles with all races.

Besides sparring with Izu, she also sparred with Akari, and at that time Akari hadn't yet reached level 5.

The two were fighting at the same level (4th rank).

In the end, Akari won the battle.

No... Luluwei, haven't you never won against anyone?

You've fought against our adventurers and haven't won a single battle so far.

"So, Sister Luluwei, what are your plans next?"

Lulu looked up at the sky: "This year's War God Cup is over."

"I didn't move up in order to stay in the competition... I never expected to lose the championship in the end."

"whispering sound--"

You could sense the deep resentment emanating from her.

"I plan to advance to level 5 archer tomorrow. After that, can I go on adventures with you guys?"

"Sister Luluwei wants to join us?"

Luluwei's face flushed slightly: "It's not that I necessarily have to join."

"I had already told them that once we reached level 5, we would travel around together..." Her little feet trembled nervously.

I want to join, but I feel a little embarrassed.

"So what are your plans after this?" Luluwei asked in return.

"Now Sister Kumironi has discovered clues about the Church of Death. They are estimated to be working to eradicate the Church of Death and thwart its conspiracy."

"Once everything is resolved, our original plan was to explore the Cave of Despair and Wailing."

This trip was actually planned in advance.

Moreover, this itinerary is known to almost everyone.

It seems everyone knows that the legendary adventurer group is going to explore the [Cave of Despair].

"Oh, that's how it is."

"The Church of Death? I could help if needed; I am, in fact, a Level 4 Observer."

You wouldn't guess he's such a kind person.

Lu Cang could also vaguely hear her longing for the legendary adventure team in her tone.

Although she hid it very well.

But she still exudes a fangirl vibe.

After all, they are the strongest adventurer group on the entire continent, so it's understandable that they want to become a member.

Or is it a Level 4 observer?
No wonder their senses are so sharp.

However, the Church of Death...

Thinking of the infamous Church of Death, Lu Cang couldn't help but have some thoughts.

I can't kill a good person like Luluwei to steal the treasure.

Can't we still kill the bad guys from the Church of Death?

Even a single stronghold of the Church of Death offers access to so much hidden knowledge.

If I were to join the crusade against the Church of Death...

Wouldn't the harvest be incredibly abundant?

They have a talent for uncovering secrets and can easily discover items they have hidden.

The Church of Death has committed numerous evils, and must have amassed a great deal of treasure through burning, killing, and looting. These believers must possess some valuable items.

Those sacrificial rituals that can use souls to achieve various purposes are quite good.

While extracting information from Luluwei, Lu Cang's thoughts also drifted to the secret scroll he had just obtained.

"Secrets: The Professional Scroll (Prophet)"

"Hidden Item: Seer Job Change Method"

"Method 1: Mastery of the ancient Ansu language, time studies, divination, future studies, destiny studies, and the art of destiny theorem."

This secret scroll itself contains hidden secrets.

However, the way to activate it is a bit too complicated.

Currently, I only know the ancient Ansu language; I don't understand any of the other theories.

And that so-called "theorem of destiny" technique, I've never heard of it before, it sounds so high-class.

Is this something I can control?
These theories should be easy to understand; I should be able to learn them by finding some books and spending some time on them.

This method of destiny is too complicated; it's best to just ask someone who understands it.

Ask Iz first.

If Izkumironi and the others don't know, then go ask Parry.

……

I now know Luluwei's room number and how to contact her.

Lu Cang then returned to his room and lay down on the bed.

It was already night, but not yet late. Lu Cang opened An Zheng's manuscript.

The manuscript has been completely restored.

It's time to calm down and study this carefully... It involves the lessons learned from the past of level 8 mages.

We must not repeat the mistakes of those who came before us.
