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

Chapter 155 A Phantom of a Suspected God-Level Talent

However, the moment the wrist was grabbed...

Disappeared?
Leng Qingying, who had been captured, disappeared as a lost shadow.

Swish!
Almost simultaneously, warnings of impending doom came from all directions.

"Thousand Waves Resilient Layer Protection", "Scorching Lava Layer Protection", "Absolutely Repellent Gale Layer Protection", "Black Erosion Body Protection", "Daytime Polar Light Curtain"...

Swish!
Instantly, layers upon layers of shields enveloped Lu Cang!
Simultaneously.

Four "Sources" flew out!
The figure, which had been hiding in the void and perfectly concealing its aura, was suddenly enveloped by a layer of deep, cold lake water.

Call ~
However, in an instant.

These figures, shrouded in the lake water, vanished like shadows under the light.

It's an illusion...

Lu Cang looked toward the door of the promotion hall.

Their gazes were already fixed on a petite figure shrouded in a black robe in the crowd.

The bustling crowd is still here watching the excitement.

Her true form was hiding in the center of the crowd.

It's an enviable fighting style. Although I'm very unhappy with what she's doing, I have to say that Leng Qingying's fighting style is exactly what Lu Cang likes the most.

It makes people hesitant, afraid to act rashly, to attack the enemy's weaknesses, and to fight in the enemy's most disadvantageous position.

All conditions have been met.

Lu Cang cannot use large-scale magic indiscriminately here and accidentally harm civilians.

We must also take into account all sorts of potential damage.

Her sudden attack made the enemy hesitant to act, showcasing the full advantages of an assassin.

"I've really been looked down upon."

Who do you think i am?

"The mind is broken"

Lu Cang used magic to point it out.

hum-

Mental magic is unleashed!

The moment it hit Leng Qingying's head, an invisible and silent gust of wind transformed into a combat technique and attacked Leng Qingying's entire body!

However, just as these gusts of wind were about to tear Leng Qingying's body apart.

Swish!
Leng Qingying disappeared again.

She appeared in another part of the crowd.

transposition?

Is it this kind of ability again?

Whether it's Luluwei or Leng Qingying, it seems everyone possesses this troublesome ability...

However, the distance she switched was clearly not far.

If I were to use a large-scale spell to blast this entire area away, she would have nowhere to hide.

It was just... the crowd.

Tsk.

"Source Body - A Flash of Light"

Leng Qingying had just recovered when Lu Cang arrived in an instant!

He held a spear in his hand!

He leaped and slammed down towards her!
Swish!
Assassination Technique: Instantaneous Movement

Leng Qingying's figure disappeared almost at the moment she was about to be hit, and Lu Cang felt a sense of crisis coming from behind him.

The hand of the mage!

Four invisible, unseen hands reached out from behind!
"Demon Tempering Technique - Fifth Form: Extreme Combo"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——

A fist as fast as lightning, unleashing hundreds of punches in an instant!

He blasted Leng Qingying behind him into scattered black shadows.

And yet another Leng Qingying has already performed a beautiful somersault in the sky.

Swish!
Then it flashed again and landed on a distant rooftop.

Meanwhile, they are in different locations within the crowd.

Lu Cang's senses detected other figures of Leng Qingying, each hiding in the shadows or mingling in the bustling crowd.

It's definitely not a skill...

Even if she could surpass the level of Ascension like herself, a level 4 assassination technique would definitely not have such a monstrous effect.

Lu Cang's exceptional knowledge allowed him to understand most of the skills required for mainstream professions.

The skills are definitely not that powerful; they follow the class upgrade system.

So, it's probably a talent.

This performance is at least at the highest level of talent, second only to the god level.

or.

He was already...god-level?
The biggest difference between the supreme and the god-like lies in whether or not they ignore or directly reverse the fundamental rules of the world.

"Source·Weaving Shadow Network"

Swish!
With a wave of his hand, Lu Cang created five Shadow Nets that formed directly on Leng Qingying's body.

In an instant, they were bound together in a cocoon.

Snapped--

Four of them, Leng Qingying, vanished in an instant, turning into shadows.

Only Leng Qingying remained.

It was like a cocoon struggling for a moment.

Snapped--

Then it disappeared like a shadow.

Lu Cang's senses continued to search.

From the shadows, Leng Qingying's figure was discovered to be appearing again in various places.

They are endless, and they will quickly regenerate after being killed.

Moreover, she can switch positions with her shadow at an extremely fast speed, and even... make her shadow take a certain amount of damage for her.

Swish!
A sense of impending danger came from behind Lu Cang.

However, this time Lu Cang did not dodge.

They just stood still.

when!
A series of shocks emanated from the layers of shields.

Oh... does that mean the attack is also real and effective?
No, it's also possible that it instantly switched to its original form to launch the attack.

If every attack from the shadows is real and effective, that would be an incredible talent.

And that is, after the first attack failed to break through the defense.

Leng Qingying's other four shadows appeared simultaneously in Lu Cang's four blind spots.

That's really fast.

when!
The vibrations came from all four directions.

The shield was shattered instantly, and her destructive power should not be underestimated.

Unfortunately... this formidable opponent could only manage to break through ten layers of its own shield.

It's already amazing.

She was able to cut through her own fourth-tier protective magic shield, and this attack also proved that each of her shadows was lethal.

Lu Cang twirled his spear!
boom!
"Flame Wave Battle Staff: Circular Slash"

In the sky, the spear swept out a ring of scorching heat!
The sky was dyed a fiery red, scorching the flying snow and turning it into raindrops.

Leng Qingying has disappeared again.

The assassin's aura was well concealed, hiding every shadow perfectly, though Lu Cang's senses could not be blocked.

But the other party deliberately hid, which is equivalent to trying to identify Leng Qingying in a crowd.

It's actually quite troublesome.

This is also why Lu Cang found Leng Qingying's entire figure in the shortest amount of time.

To have such strength at such a young age is quite impressive.

However, since it was born from the shadows...

Lu Cang raised his hand.

A white sphere of light, resembling a small sun, rose directly into the air.

"Daytime"

Swish!
The arrival of daylight instantly swept away all the shadows in the area.

All shadows have become bright and clear!
Even the sewers were bathed in light.

However, Leng Qingying did not hide in the sewer.

If she really did hide down there, Lu Cang would actually be relieved.

However, when the daylight broke out, Leng Qingying's phantom did not dissipate with the arrival of daylight.

Lu Cang stood on the roof.

The senses swept across the crowd, and with a wave of the hand, those cold and clear bodies instantly rose into water spheres and were frozen into ice.

Disappear, shatter, but are reborn elsewhere.

It wasn't generated from the shadows?

I originally thought that her phantoms were always born in the shadows.

I didn't expect to guess wrong.

With virtually no limitations, Lu Cang was almost certain that the other party possessed god-level talent.

okay.

I've learned pretty much everything.

"Source·Weaving Shadow Network"

An indomitable fighting spirit spread out in an instant.

thump--

Leng Qingying's heart stopped for a moment before she saw Lu Cang's face right in front of her!
It's impossible to win.

The thought flashed through Leng Qingying's mind almost instantly!
boom!
The spear pierced Leng Qingying's heart.

Leng Qingying immediately moved to another phantom location that had been prepared!

However, he found that Lu Cang had already attacked him!

Why are there such large distances between my two phantoms?

A wave of despair washed over me!

With lightning speed, Leng Qingying immediately created a new illusion.

But I never expected it.

The phantom that was just created shattered the moment it was created.

"Do you really think I can't find your phantom?"

A phantom is born.

The magic arrived in an instant.

The spellcasting was almost perfectly synchronized.

"I like to hide in crowds, so I memorized the general appearance and direction of everyone in this area."

"Thus, your discordant illusion becomes obvious."

Lu Cang's tone was cold.

It carried a somewhat threatening connotation.

Leng Qingying's fear intensified, and the thought that she would definitely lose to him lingered in her mind.

Lu Cang thrust his spear straight forward!
Leng Qingying still has a hidden phantom, but if she were to change positions again, it would probably be of no use.

He instantly flashed behind Lu Cang!

However, Lu Cang's spear, which he had thrust forward, immediately turned around and swung back in a round motion!
"A Flash of Light - War Stick: Turning Dance"

Spin and strike with the speed of light!
boom!
With a single blow, he slammed Leng Qingying heavily to the ground!
This time, I finally got to capture the feeling of seeing the actual product.

Leng Qingying's body crashed into the street, creating a huge crater!
She clutched her side, coughing up blood.

It looked as if it had been completely defeated, waiting for Lu Cang to slaughter it.

However, Lu Cang felt an extremely strong sense of crisis coming from above!

He suddenly swung his spear!

It pierces straight into the sky!

when!
A loud, metallic clang rang out from the empty space.

Leng Qingying's pupils were filled with astonishment!
Why was it discovered?

Lu Cang looked down and saw that Leng Qingying below was still coughing up blood, but Leng Qingying above him was completely unharmed.

In other words, the phantom does not actually disappear immediately after being attacked once.

It can even withstand a certain degree of damage, just like the original body.

but.

This is your last phantom.

Lu Cang's senses swept across everything within range, and the new phantom was blasted out by Lu Cang's magic the moment it was generated, instantly killing it.

Wherever the phantom is generated, there will be a simultaneous explosion of thunder, a flash of lightning, and a frozen lake.

So what if they can appear from every corner?
My magic also appears instantly from every corner.

Let's see if you can generate phantoms faster, or if I can find and kill them faster.

Meanwhile, Leng Qingying, who had been exposed above her, was still flying backwards. She no longer had a second illusion to switch places with!
"Source Body - A Flash of Light"

Lu Cang's spear trailed a long, gleaming tail!
"Invincible Style - Six Forms: Drag Blade Intent - Heavenly Slash"

A streak of light drew an arc!
Lift them high!

Immediately afterwards, a streak of light crashed down!
boom!
It crashed to the ground with a single blow! This strike was powerful and heavy, a devastating attack!

when!
However, what struck was a hard, solid touch.

Lu Cang landed on the ground and looked at the figure in front of him.

"Brother Stone".

Obades stood in front of him, blocking the attack.

“This is a personal matter between her and me, and my sister Kumiloni gave her permission.”

However, Obades shook his head and said in a slow, muffled voice, "Murder, breaking the law."

Lu Cang looked around.

In public view.

Murder is indeed illegal, but fighting like this within the city is already illegal.

"But I don't intend to let it go so easily about her wanting to kill me."

Lu Cang's attitude was firm. Everything else was negotiable, and Lu Cang was happy to spar with him.

But Lu Cang could not tolerate such a silent assassination.

“I will protect you too,” Obades replied earnestly.

Lu Cang frowned slightly.

If Obades really spoke up for her, he certainly wouldn't insist on killing her.

And it is indeed illegal.

Thinking about this, I felt a surge of anger...

Just as he was thinking about how to handle the aftermath, he saw Leng Qingying walking towards him.

how?

Are you going to provoke me again?
But then Leng Qingying raised the tip of her spear.

The spear was pointed at Leng Qingying.

Do you still want to fight?

Leng Qingying shook her head slightly and walked directly to her spear, which pierced through her heart.

Her eyes were cold, and she showed no hesitation.

"You won, so you can kill me."

In that instant, Lu Cang's pupils contracted.

Kumironi rushed over quickly, placing one hand on Leng Qingying's body, with green runes swirling around him.

Obades watched all of this silently, like a stone.

No blocking.

"She committed suicide."

"You didn't break the law."

After saying this, Obades turned and slowly walked away into the distance.

Only Lu Cang was there, watching Leng Qingying's half-dead state.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

……

Healing someone whose heart has been stabbed is not a difficult task for Kumiloni.

In just ten minutes, Leng Qingying had fully recovered.

Even if his head is cut off, as long as he's not completely dead, Kumiloni should be able to recover quickly.

However, if someone is completely dead, it will take a little effort to revive them.

Damaged streets, destroyed buildings...

If it means we have to pay the money, then we should.

The matter of causing trouble and fighting in the street was simply resolved amicably thanks to the privileges of the renowned chief mage.

Even if Lu Cangzhen had killed Leng Qingying...

It'll probably be ruled as legitimate self-defense.

After all, Leng Qingying made the first move, and most importantly—Lu Cang is the chief mage.

His position in Loren was roughly equivalent to being second only to the emperor.

In many matters of principle, the Chief Mage is the principle itself.

However, after recovering and returning home...

The atmosphere between Lu Cang and Leng Qingying was a bit tense.

Kumiloni, in the middle, also felt there was nothing he could do.

“It’s wrong to attack someone suddenly, Qingying… Don’t do that again.”

Leng Qingying whispered, "I haven't always been like this."

"I did this because I was sure he wouldn't die."

"Besides... I'm an assassin, how can you say that an assassin can't suddenly attack someone?"

Kumiloni gave a helpless, bitter smile.

Are kids these days all incredibly individualistic?

She's still a young girl herself.

Why are you thinking about educating your child all the time?

Shouldn't a 20-year-old girl be enjoying her youth?

Kumiloni couldn't help but look up at the sky and ponder deeply.

At what point in my life did I do something that changed my destiny?

“In any case, we can’t do this to a friend of a friend,” Kumironi said.

"Besides, you haven't apologized to Lu Cang yet."

Leng Qingying: "I've already made him take his revenge..."

Kumiloni said seriously, "It's different."

"Ok."

Leng Qingying walked up to Lu Cang.

Lu Cang stood still, staring blankly into Leng Qingying's eyes.

Leng Qingying turned her head away, not daring to look Lu Cang in the eye: "If you want to kill someone in the future... just tell me, and I will handle it very cleanly."

ha?
Is this an apology?

Is this how an assassin apologizes? No, this isn't an apology, it's business solicitation.

Is this something a 10-year-old should say?
Lu Cang looked up at Kumironi and said seriously, "Kumironi, I think there's a serious problem with her education."

Kumiloni also sighed, "I think so too."

"Lu Cang, what do you think of this apology? If you still can't forgive her, you can make even more outrageous demands of her."

Lu Cang looked at the shy little assassin in front of him, who was trying hard to keep a straight face, but whose cheeks were still flushed.

"In comparison! I shouldn't have suddenly tried to assassinate you!"

Did you... bite your tongue?
Lu Cang said seriously, "If someone is about to be killed for no reason, they certainly can't easily forgive the person who wants to kill them."

Leng Qingying: "What exactly do you want me to do?"

Lu Cang held up two fingers.

"It's very simple. When you see me in the future, remember to use a respectful term of address."

"Also, if I ever need your help in the future, you must lend a hand."

Lu Cang had no other options.

He had already tried to kill them, and the other party didn't really want to kill him, especially since Kumironi was there.

If he really wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't have done it in front of Cumelloni.

How could you possibly kill them like that?
In the end, Lu Cang couldn't think of any punishment.

It's just a punishment targeting her, which doesn't benefit me at all. A pure punishment that brings no benefit is equivalent to just killing her once, only to vent my anger.

Upon closer reflection, it's better to make the best use of resources.

Her methods as an assassin were indeed quite good, and Lu Cang himself was indeed not good at assassination.

Moreover, Lu Cang hoped that he wouldn't personally carry out assassinations.

Because no matter what you do, it's easy to leave a trace, especially since there are fortune tellers in this world.

If someone else does it, the chances of it being traced back to you will be much smaller.

Now that they have become nobles, they should set up some of their own covert forces.

"Honorary title?"

Leng Qingying's eyes showed a hint of disdain: "The kind that Master uses?"

Lu Cang's lips twitched slightly.

"No, just call me Lord Lu Cang..."

Lu Cang thought of how the servants in his mansion addressed him.

It feels weird.

"Calling me Brother Lu Cang is fine too."

Although I am younger than you.

However, Lu Cang believes that it is very necessary to cultivate respect for such children.

"The key point is still the second requirement: you have to help me when I need it."

Leng Qingying nodded: "Okay, then I promise you."

"Also, you're not allowed to lay a hand on me again, or I'll get really angry." Lu Cang's tone turned cold.

Leng Qingying felt that same insurmountable pressure again.

He paused for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

Lu Cang withdrew his indomitable fighting spirit.

Finally, he smiled again and said, "Yes, that's good."

Leng Qingying was taken to the inner hall by Kumironi for a promotion.

Her advancement from 3 to 4 should be no problem.

That terrifying combat power is probably considered incredibly strong even among assassins.

I always felt that there were more geniuses than described in books.

What do you mean by "once in a century" or "once in a millennium"...?

Aren't we surrounded by geniuses? And yet, there's no gap of hundreds or thousands of years.

Although none of them are as talented as I am.

After Kumironi led Leng Qingying inside, Lu Cang's keen senses detected a small figure approaching them, surrounded by adults.

Yuna has arrived.

If the project by the visionary is successful, she should become a rare 8-year-old job changer.

The research of this project.

This might completely change the landscape of job changes, and the age for changing jobs in the future should no longer be 16.

Instead, it will be much earlier.

Perhaps, there really will be many 8-year-olds changing jobs.

However, nothing is certain until the actual results are in.

Lu Cang felt no sense of crisis about the fact that a large number of 8-year-old job changers would emerge on the mainland.

Because... after understanding himself, Lu Cang roughly knew.

My spiritual age is definitely not 8 years old.

There is even a very high possibility that...they will be underage.

It is equivalent to the age before birth, or even before becoming a fertilized egg, yet it already possesses the initial spirituality.

So don't say it was an awakening at age 8.

Even though they all awakened at age 0, Lu Cang didn't feel much of a crisis.

"Yuna!" Lu Cang greeted her.

"Lu Cang." Yuna greeted Lu Cang in a lukewarm manner.

Compared to Leng Qingying, who kills people at will.

This little sister is better.

She's just not very enthusiastic, but she'll give you a clear response when you talk to her, and Lu Cang estimates that they'll get along very well in terms of knowledge.

"Yuna, are you going to become a Scholar today?"

Yuna nodded gently.

She rarely showed curiosity and asked, "Lu Cang, what are you doing here?"

"I've come to see you change jobs."

Upon hearing this response, the little girl's pupils dilated slightly.

Speak for whoever is in the spotlight; that's basic common sense in social interactions. You can't say you're there to see someone else's career transition ceremony, can you?

That's not very polite.

"Yes, thank you." Yuna didn't show her delight on her face, but simply said calmly.

Yuna looked toward the inner hall, where the promotion ceremony was almost over.

Promotion ceremonies are never long.

The difficulty in getting promoted always lies in the accumulation of experience, not in the ritualistic process.

He restrained his breathing.

Leng Qingying completed her promotion to Level 4 Assassin without any problems.

She is now at level 4.

Her aura was elusive, as if she were invisible; Lu Cang had to concentrate his attention on her to lock onto her.

"Yuna, it's our turn."

Yuna nodded gently.

The scholar in the white robe looked down at Yuna, and Lu Cang felt that this must be Yuna's father.

The other scholar in white standing next to him must be Yuna's mother.

They were two very young people.

Behind the two men were about twenty more people in white robes, a uniform that signified that they were distinguished scholars within the White Tower.

Judging from the badges on their chests, they are all scholars of at least the third rank, many of them are fourth rank, and some are even fifth rank.

Lu Cang wasn't wearing the White Tower's uniform today; instead, he was dressed in ordinary clothes, making him unrecognizable as a magician.

"Lord Kumironi, I would like to ask you to help oversee the event."

Kumiloni smiled and nodded, then went to sit down on the central platform.

I heard that this is actually Kumiloni's special spot.

The Hall of Promotion has a spot set up specifically for Kumironi.

Their status is really high.

The area outside the promotion hall was sealed off, and commoners were not allowed to observe the promotion process.

This is a secret experiment being conducted inside the White Pagoda.

Scholars of the White Tower at the second rank or above are qualified to access this information, but that does not mean that any ordinary person has the right to know.

The scholars of the White Tower were no less distinguished than some nobles.

However, Lu Cang, with his prestigious status as the chief mage, also had the right to watch this promotion ceremony.

Leng Qingying wasn't interested in Yuna's job change, but she stayed put and waited for Kumironi to finish his work.

Kumironi can't just leave after changing his job.

Yuna entered the inner hall surrounded by the crowd.

Scholars began to depict the necessary rituals, arrange the necessary props, and prepare the sacrificial offerings for the rituals.

A white bed board was laid in the center of the ritual array.

Yuna lay on the bed, closing her eyes and waiting quietly.
