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

Chapter 154 Assassination of Lu Cang - Leng Qingying

"Yuna, how old are you?"

"8 is old."

When is your birthday?

"November 11."

It's the first day of the month! I've heard that children born on the first day of the lunar month are somewhat special.

This is just a legend, but because of this legend, the proportion of children born on the 1st is slightly higher than that born at other times.

This was the first time Lu Cang had interacted with someone his own age.

After all, you need to be at least 16 years old just to change jobs.

Lu Cang and the non-professionals didn't have much in common. Playing with real children, he felt nothing but their naivety.

After all, his mental age is already 28.

How could I possibly get along with a child?

But Yuna in front of me is different...

"Were you born in the White Tower?"

"Ah."

The two had now reached the third floor. The White Tower was indeed a tall, pure white tower, mostly in white tones, but it was still adorned with some blue and shadows from the light.

It presents a pure white and gray tone, without losing the beauty of layering.

Add to that a touch of flowing azure.

It does have a unique aesthetic charm.

After all, it is a tower of profound learning, and it will also have considerable attainments in aesthetics.

"That's the Foresight Project over there," Yuna pointed in a direction.

Why were I brought here?

Yuna turned her head and looked at Lu Cang: "Didn't you want to understand the Foresighted Ones?"

This is true.

What a smart kid.

But not wanting to say even a single unnecessary word, isn't that a bit too mature?

As a time traveler, he tried his best to act like a real child in order to take advantage of the convenience that came with this identity.

"how about you?"

Yuna tilted her head: "Me?"

Is there anything you'd like to do?

"No, if you have no other questions, I'll go back to my book."

That's really the demeanor of a polymath.

"No, I have other questions."

Lu Cang was shameless and pulled Yuna to sit down on the side.

"At what age did you start learning?"

Can you remember all the books you've read?

"Have you already activated your spirituality?"

Have you been outside?

……

Lu Cang asked all the questions he wanted to know.

Yuna answered all of his questions.

Judging from her answer, it seems there really isn't a problem.

From a very young age, she has enjoyed learning all sorts of new and interesting things.

While other children were still chasing toys and crawling all over the place.

She had already started reading books to learn to read, and by the time she was 2 years and 1 month old, she could read completely.

From that time on, I began to learn all sorts of knowledge.

Her parents appear to be high-ranking scholars in the White Tower.

Therefore, she is very knowledgeable, and Yuna often asks her parents for help when she doesn't understand something.

As for the Pioneer Project, Yuna and her parents agreed to participate in it themselves.

Indeed, there was no indication of being forced.

Where can I find you?

"Find me?"

"Yes, I'm very interested in monster studies. You must be very good at it. I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask you."

Hearing Lu Cang say that, Yuna's face flushed slightly.

"Um……"

"I usually read in the reading area on the third floor, so you can come here."

"it is good!"

The fact that she scored 100 points in Monster Studies means that her mastery of Monster Studies has reached the level of Root Magic.

For someone who hasn't changed jobs to reach this level is truly terrifying.

Yuna whispered, "If there are no problems, then I'll be going."

Lu Cang waved and replied, "Okay, see you next time!"

Watching Yuna leave.

Lu Cang's gaze shifted to the bookshelf beside him.

Although there are still many questions, there are some things that really can't be asked in front of her.

Over there, that should be the information for the Foresight Project. I originally came here to look for information about divination, fate, futurology, and the art of destiny.

These are all conditions for becoming a Prophet.

Especially the art of destiny theorem, which even Iz had never heard of.

Ultimately, the whereabouts of this item were found through Parly.

This divination, after its value doubled, cost Lu Cang 400 million gold coins.

You will receive it in Knoroa.

This is the complete result of the divination.

A light word.

At that moment, Lu Cang did indeed have the idea of ​​taking action against Parly.

This is the place I have to pass through, and you're telling me this?
Give me back my 400 million!
Diviner... Damn diviner, I've already been taken advantage of so many times, why do I still have to keep getting taken advantage of?

Just thinking about it makes me angry.

But at least I can be sure that I will obtain the Destiny Theorem in Knoroa.

In other words, by mastering the sciences of time, divination, future, destiny, and prophecy as soon as possible, and combining this with the techniques of the laws of destiny that one will inevitably acquire, one can become a prophet.

Thinking about it carefully, I was actually so certain about Parly's divination results?

I don't think this is a good thing.

I trust fortune tellers too much.

Lu Cang walked to the shelf containing information about pioneers.

The senses swept across.

Surprisingly, no secrets were found.

There's no secret?

This is what's really strange. Logically, there shouldn't be anything shady going on.

[Experimental Record: Beshi]

[Experiment Log: Edrosa]

[Experiment Log: Bison]

……

All of them were people's names, and Lu Cang flipped through these records.

【Beshi】

[Date of Birth: October 7, 5017]

[Spiritual aptitude passed the test; parents and the individual agreed to participate in the Foresight Test]

[Experiment start date: March 1, 5020]

……

In 5017, it would be 8 years old now.

Lu Cang turned a few pages.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

A spiritual awakening ceremony was held for Bessie, and her spirituality has begun to become active.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Beshi read one book today and was able to remember most of its contents.

【XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day】

Besh has fully learned the Common Language and can have normal conversations with anyone.

Lu Cang paused for a moment upon seeing this.

and many more……

Turn to the first page again.

Did the parents and the individual consent?
The child was only 3 years old when the experiment began. How did they get permission to do that?
Does a baby nodding mean they agree?

Suppressing his bewilderment, Lu Cang continued reading.

However, looking further ahead, it shows that Bessie learned something or mastered something.

It's basically like a diary.

But Lu Cang patiently read through the entire experimental record and memorized it.

After that, Lu Cang left the rows of bookshelves.

Walking towards the bookshelf at the front, I sensed that I had just spotted this book.

[The Awakened: The Ritual of Spiritual Awakening]

Indeed, to understand what a forerunner is, we must begin with this ritual.

A ritual that allows one to awaken their spirituality without undergoing a job change.

Upon closer inspection, Lu Cang's eyes did indeed shine.

It must be said that the conception of this ceremony is quite ingenious.

A career transition ceremony is a way to connect a person's spirituality with a certain innate source, thereby awakening the corresponding professional power.

This "spiritual awakening ritual" actually fabricates a source, awakens a completely blank profession, and in this way awakens spirituality and prevents spirituality from being lost.

An astonishingly brilliant idea.

Lu Cang had thought of similar ideas, but thinking about them was one thing, putting them into practice was another.

"Constructing the blank origin..."

"Change the content of the job-transfer ceremony, shifting the focus of the ceremony from the innate origin to a constructed blank."

He's a genius.

Although Lu Cang wasn't an expert in ritual studies, it wasn't hard for him to see just how amazing this ritual was.

After looking through it, I couldn't find any problems at all.

A completely artificial entity, without any inherent blank source, will naturally not bring any pollution.

And the activated spirituality can be preserved very well.

"The White Tower, it really does contain good things." However, this seemingly flawless ritual is still in the testing phase.

To be precise, the "Pioneers Project" consists of three complementary experimental research projects.

[Experiment on Initial Spiritual Awakening]

[Spiritual Debonding Experiment]

[Spiritual Return Experiment]

The three experiments combined formed the "Prescient Project".

Activate spirituality, preserve spirituality.

Once one reaches the age suitable for awakening, the retained spirituality is temporarily stripped away.

After shedding one's spirituality, one can change careers.

After the job change is completed, the spirituality that was stripped away will return to its original state.

In this way, one can avoid the spiritual pollution that comes with changing jobs.

At the same time, it retains a very high level of spirituality.

These experiments were never mentioned in the books Lu Cang had read before.

"The White Tower is home to cutting-edge research."

"If you have the chance, you must join the White Tower."

What Izzy said was indeed true.

Lu Cang then reviewed the two experimental proposals and theories regarding "spiritual stripping" and "spiritual return".

Although there were some parts I didn't understand, overall it wasn't too difficult.

Moreover, the experiments conducted on monsters and death row inmates were also successful.

Oh?
Inside the White Tower, they actually condoned the use of death row inmates for experiments?

It seems that the moral restrictions in this regard are a bit lenient.

After spending some time thoroughly understanding the Pioneer Project, Lu Cang felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

Otherwise, the idea of ​​using children for inhumane experiments would probably linger in his mind forever.

Even the phrase "both parents and child agree" still carries many unanswered questions.

After reading these.

Lu Cang then left the area, wandered around for a while, and found the White Tower Rules Guide, the White Tower Code, and some books about fate.

The White Pagoda serves more than just a place to read.

However, Lu Cang still planned to understand the rules first. Unfortunately, he did not find any records of the Destiny Theorem on the third level.

After wandering around for a while, I saw Yuna again.

However, Lu Cang did not go up to greet her, but instead sat down next to her with his book.

The two maintained a delicate distance from each other.

Lu Cang became focused.

Meanwhile, Yuna ignored Lu Cang and focused intently on reading a book about lunar phases.

……

Only after thoroughly studying all the books that had been moved over did Lu Cang emerge from his focused state.

When I came to my senses, I found Yuna still reading a book beside me.

Well, I originally sat down next to her hoping to find an opportunity to chat. If she spoke first, Lu Cang wouldn't mind being disturbed.

After all, it only takes a moment to enter a state of focus.

It seems best not to bother her for now.

Lu Cang left quietly.

After Lu Cang left, Yuna turned her head and looked at the tall stack of books beside her.

Did he read that many books in one afternoon?
This was the first time Yuna had met someone her age who was more knowledgeable than herself.

"What if I become a job changer..."

……

11 month 21 day.

"Sister Kumironi, are you talking about the promotion ceremony for those who change jobs early?"

"Hmm~ I promised her I would help her change jobs."

"However, besides her, there is another job change ceremony that requires my presence."

"But I didn't preside over the ceremony; I was just the supervisor."

Kumiloni himself was not in charge of the job change.

Therefore, you can't usually hire her for job changes.

"They actually specifically asked Sister Kumironi to take charge of this, what kind of matter is it?"

"Hmm~ It's research from the White Tower. They've made new progress in their research on job change. If successful, it might be possible to bypass spiritual pollution during job change."

“I had heard of this research before, but this is the first time I’ve been involved in a related project.”

"After all, I've been traveling around a lot before..."

Since changing jobs, Kumironi has spent very little time in the capital over the past year, mostly exploring the world with Iz and the others.

I don't know much about things like long-term research.

Even the strongest person cannot have a complete grasp of every single detail.

"Does Sister Kumironi know who is going to change jobs?"

"It seems to be a child named Yuna, about your age, or maybe a little younger."

Is it her?

What a coincidence of fate.

No, it's also a coincidence, but it feels like it's inevitable to some extent... Yuna must have already planned it all out, to hold the job change ceremony the day after passing the White Tower assessment.

As for myself, I just happened to be taking the exam on the assessment day.

As long as I participate in this exam, I will naturally get to know Yuna.

Yesterday I studied destiny theory in depth.

At this point, Lu Cang had a completely different view of fate.

It may seem like a coincidence, but in reality, it was all inevitable.

As the High Priest of the Temple of Life and the strongest healing mage in the world, it was inevitable that Kumironi would be invited to oversee the event. Even if a spiritual contamination did occur, Kumironi would be able to resolve it.

Lu Cang and Kumironi walked and talked, discussing their recent daily lives and the various things that had happened.

They also arrived at the promotion hall.

In front of the promotion hall, Lu Cang noticed a black-haired loli girl who looked slightly older than himself.

Very conspicuous.

Even in the heavy snow, she was still wearing light clothing that was convenient for fighting.

On the outside of the thigh, there were bands, with two daggers of different lengths hanging from them.

She has the appearance of a little girl, yet she dresses like this.

It's hard not to stand out.

When Kumironi saw her, he waved and smiled from afar.

"Qingying!"

"You arrived so early!"

Leng Qingying.

At only 10 years old, he is rumored to be the most skilled assassin in Knoroa.

Lu Cang had little experience with the assassin profession.

I don't know just how amazing this "most amazing" really is.

But this time, Kumironi is the assassin who will help her advance to level 4.

It doesn't seem that impressive. Even if someone is level 3, how could they possibly be stronger than me?

As the three entered the job change hall, Lu Cang noticed that Leng Qingying's gaze often lingered on him.

It was a cold and sharp gaze.

Just looking at it like this, even without any murderous intent, still feels piercing.

Lu Cang could only respond with a childlike, silly smile.

Before Lu Cang could speak to ease the tension, she had already asked, "Are you very strong?"

Lu Cang smiled helplessly, "It's not weak."

Leng Qingying said very seriously, "I am better than you."

Lu Cang sensed an aura of defiance emanating from the other party.

Sensing the opponent's fighting spirit, Lu Cang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Ugh……

These geniuses never have an accurate assessment of their own abilities.

They always thought they were invincible.

I had no idea there were worlds beyond worlds.

"Oh, I don't think so." Lu Cang didn't indulge him, his smile fading as he responded calmly.

Suddenly, a very strong danger warning came from the senses!

Lu Cang instantly pulled his head back!
Swish!
But then they saw a dagger already piercing through them!

After he dodged, the dagger slashed down along the direction his head had been avoiding.

He seemed determined to kill himself.

Lu Cang instantly entered battle mode, and with a flash of light, he created distance, only to find that Leng Qingying was no longer in the same spot.

"crazy?"

Should we start here?
This is the promotion hall!

And why did they act so suddenly?

Shouldn't we go to the arena?
What if I can't escape? Wouldn't you really kill me?
Anger rose in Lu Cang's heart.

Lu Cang hates nothing more than others threatening his life.

Even if I could easily dodge this threat, it wouldn't matter.

"I have no grudge against you, Leng Qingying."

Lu Cang's voice turned cold.

He stood still, holding a white spear-shaped staff in his hand.

The Staff of the Ethereal Ring is currently with Aijin, who is helping her with a new round of modifications to the staff.

Currently, other wands can only be used as alternatives.

Seeing the helpless expression on Kumironi's face, Lu Cang tried his best to control himself.

The other party probably thought that even if he was killed, Kumironi would resurrect him.

To strike without warning—that's truly the mindset of an assassin.

Well, since you've already decided to kill someone, it's only natural that I kill you in return.

"Sister Kumironi."

"I'm a little angry, and if I've done something out of line, I hope you can understand me."

Kumiloni sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.

"Hmm... I will handle the aftermath. She was in the wrong. Little Lu Cang, you can punish her as you please."

Lu Cang instinctively tensed up and instantly turned to the side.

In the instant he dodged the dagger's thrust, he also grabbed the opponent's outstretched wrist!
