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

Chapter 162 The Archbishop of Death - Lu Cang

Discussing principles, solving mysteries, reading books, and practicing combat skills.

Lu Cang felt that his life could be considered very elegant.

In ancient China, he would be considered a scholar or literati.

Time flies, and it's already December 5th.

During this time.

Lu Cang would spend his days learning from Yuna's erudite knowledge, attend a class in the afternoon, and then go to the forbidden library after class.

Taking advantage of the temporarily borrowed scholar's abilities, I readily absorbed knowledge.

With the help of the scholar's knowledge extraction, Lu Cang's reading speed was much faster than before.

Although less time was spent on the forbidden library.

But in reality, the learning progress is even faster than before.

To date, Lu Cang has read nearly three hundred books from the Forbidden Library.

At this rate, Lu Cang estimates that he will be able to read all the forbidden books in the forbidden library by the end of the month.

And it was on this very day.

The city gate is wide open!

The sounds of celebration and cannon salutes rang out in front of the city gate.

"Iz and the others are back!"

Lu Cang already knew that Izzy and the others would be returning today.

Actually, I received their message on the 2nd.

The matter over there has been completely resolved, but some finishing touches need to be done in time.

Indeed... it seems the damage caused was quite significant.

It will indeed take a lot of effort to clean up the mess.

Lu Cang stood on the city wall of Knoloa. Since the month of death and destruction, Lu Cang had not approached the wilderness.

The principle of safety first is always kept in Lu Cang's mind.

I saw the familiar Dragon Rhino vehicle speeding across the wilderness.

Lu Cang felt relieved.

It seems like it's going to be another peaceful day.

Knolloa fired a salute, and cheers resounded.

Lu Cang transformed into a streak of light and landed inside the Dragon Rhino Carriage, where familiar faces were still present.

"Yo!"

"Brother! You have no idea what we've been through!"

boom!
bang bang bang-

The cannons and fireworks have been going on non-stop all day.

In the tavern, Chi Cheng held up a glass of white beer: "You don't know, after we arrived at Deep Fall Valley, we didn't find anything unusual for the first few days!"

"But on the very day the moon changed! Thanks to Luluwei's keen insight!"

Chi Cheng suddenly paused, then took a sip of beer.

"Speak up! What's so perceptive about that!"

"What did you find?!"

"Damn it, just say it! What are you doing?!"

That really worried the people listening to the story!

"do you know?"

"The bishop of the Church of Death is not in the deepest valley, but high in the sky!"

"Do you know? Wanli!"

"It was the end of the coldest month, and the sky was covered in snow. Who would have noticed that someone was hiding in such a cold sky!"

"And the instant the moon changed! Lulu noticed something was wrong! She immediately took action! She shot an arrow into the sky! Interrupting the ritual of the Church of Death's bishop!"

"That's why the other party's ritual didn't achieve its full effect!"

"Even so! He still managed to summon a terrifying white phantom!"

"So that's it! He actually brought a sacred relic from the Church of Death! The tattered strands of white hair of death and destruction."

"Through this sacred object and the communication with Bai, a pure white projection of his descent into the world was actually summoned!"

"If this phantom were allowed to remain in the world, it would likely cause immeasurable destruction!"

"Thinking of the potential devastation on the mainland, in a fit of rage, even facing the gods, I will strike without hesitation! I will draw my sword! I will cleave the heavens with my sword! I will defy the gods and plunge my sword into the abyss!"

"You're asking about Iz?"

“Iz threw a few spells from behind.”

puff--

Lu Cang, who was listening to the story, almost spat out his drink.

A few spells?

Are you referring to sixth-tier Root Magic?

Lu Cang did not stand up for Izzy, because Izzy would refute him herself.

"Chi Cheng, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"If it weren't for my primal magic, which destroyed its death-sentence technique, do you know how many people would have died on this continent?"

Chi Cheng: "I'm asking you, am I the one who physically suppresses the pure white phantom?"

Iz: "You mean you want a mage to physically overpower us head-on?"

"Besides, if magic suppresses directly, how can it not be suppression?"

“If it weren’t for Obades protecting you, you would probably have died countless times.”

"Heh, I was the one who delivered the fatal blow."

"Only looking at the final blow? Ignoring actual contributions in combat?"

"In terms of actual combat contribution, I definitely have the highest. Your sustained suppression is stronger than mine?"

"Are you doubting the suppressive power of my magic?"

Ha ha……

I've seen this scenario more than once.

Lu Cang looked to his side: "Sister Kumironi, everything should be alright now, right?"

Kumironi smiled faintly: "Yes, it has been checked. The bishop sacrificed his own life to summon the pure white phantom."

"And that entire area has been blasted into nothingness by Iz."

"There should be no remaining remnants left."

Isn't that a bit too violent?
Lu Cang recalled the scene of Iz killing the Sunken Land-level monster.

Indeed... it was blasted into nothingness.

"The leader of the Church of Death is dead, and the remaining remnants are no longer a threat."

"After this month, we'll launch another round of cleanup operations, which will finally eliminate the biggest thorn in the side of the Church of Life for a thousand years..."

Kumironi sipped his tea lightly.

His tone carried a slightly relaxed and pleasant quality.

Oh no...

How could he bring it up with Kumiloni? A few days ago, some so-called "remnants" had approached him.

Furthermore, he proclaimed himself the "leader" of the new Church of Death.

Can you tell me?
No... it's better not to be the first to speak to Kumiloni.

First, talk to Izaki.

Then, indirectly, he brought it up with Cumelloni.

Otherwise, looking at Kumironi beside him, who felt that the Church of Death had finally been eradicated and the future looked bright...

Lu Cang felt like he was about to explode.

However, the legendary adventure team has once again saved the continent.

It truly is a legend.

It feels like they're either saving the world or on their way to save the world.

"Of course, Lu Cang also deserves credit."

Kumironi smiled slightly at Lu Cang beside him.

"Unfortunately, the fact that you deciphered the secret letter of the final sacrifice is a top secret within the Church of Life."

"You must not tell anyone, otherwise you will be in a dangerous situation."

Lu Cang nodded slightly.

Although he is now very famous, his record is still poor.

Lu Cang has always been a marginal figure who has never participated in anything.

Most of the grudges and conflicts that others had were directed at Iz and Akari.

As for this newly emerged genius mage...

Perhaps a character who can't beat Izzy but causes her trouble would want to make things difficult for his disciple.

However, it's hard to imagine that someone with such a magnanimous character would be a strong player at level 6.

Even though he wasn't a level 6 job changer, Lu Cang was confident he could handle things.

As for victory, Lu Cang actually felt that he could win most of the time, but he couldn't be too sure.

For example, Luluwei at level 5.

Lu Cang is still no match for him.

The reason is simple: the range is too long... Luluvi's optimal range at level 5 is now over 3,000 kilometers.

If it were on Earth in my previous life, it could shoot halfway around the world.

At this distance, Lu Cang couldn't even sense where Luluwei's arrow was coming from, let alone catch up with it.

Imagine walking down the street one day when suddenly hundreds of thousands of arrows rain down from the sky.

Arrows rained down from the four directions: east, west, south, and north.

At this point, where should we look for help?

Luluwei also drank a little wine, and her face turned slightly red.

However, she felt that she couldn't be of much help in this operation, which made her a little frustrated.

Luluwei, don't underestimate yourself too much.

Tomorrow I'll take you to the arena and let you beat Leng Qingying. Maybe that will help you think things through.

Although it's a bit unethical for a level 5 player to fight a level 4 player.

But it also allowed Luluwei to experience the thrill of being suppressed by a higher level.

This should also help Luluwei recover from the frustration of not being able to help in the level 6 battle.

……

After a hearty meal and drinks, we listened to them brag until midnight.

We're finally back home.

Today's protagonist is not Lu Cang, who naturally escaped the fate of being forced to drink alcohol.

Actually, given Chi Cheng and the others' physical condition, they shouldn't be able to get drunk and pass out.

If they were willing, they should be able to fully wake up with just one thought.

Let's talk about the Church of Death tomorrow. Luluwei just wanted to take a walk anyway.

The two people who had fainted on the table were obviously too busy, so in the end, Lu Cang and Luluwei stood on the city wall.

There was a slight hiccup on the way to the city wall.

After presenting the chief mage's credentials, the city's commander tactfully withdrew.

have to say……

The identity of the chief mage is proving to be increasingly useful.

It feels so good to be a privileged dog.

Having power certainly allows one to do whatever one wants.

Once back on the city wall, Lu Cang finally had the leisure to observe the scenery of the month of death and destruction.

What should have been lush green meadows outside the city is now nothing but desolation, with distant withered trees, like embers of a burnt-out fire, constantly turning into scattered ash.

The month of death and destruction.

The disease will be even more deadly, the injuries will be extremely difficult to heal, and may even develop into fatal wounds.

The effectiveness of treatment this month will be significantly reduced.

Once matter is damaged, it will quickly decay and progress towards destruction.

For example, ordinary trees...

If a slightly serious scratch causes a chip, it will start to grow larger and larger, just like paper money that has been burned.

Ultimately, it will disappear until it is destroyed.

Not only trees, but also equipment, buildings, and even shields—the Guardians' barriers are all the same.

Equipment becomes very easy to break, and defenses are very easy to penetrate.

Therefore, the months of death and destruction are the months with the highest mortality rates.

Various factors, even the smallest accident, could become the fatal cause of death for an adventurer.

"Luluwei?"

Luluwei leaned against the city wall, gazing into the distance.

"Lu Cang, do you think I can become an adventurer like Iz and the others?"

How would you like me to answer this question?

Would I say no?

I'm not the kind of child who lacks emotional intelligence...

"Sister Luluwei will definitely become a great adventurer."

Luluwei gazed into the distance: "But after the battles of the past few days, I feel that I am still far from being as good as them."

"I still have a lot to improve."

"If we just keep going like this, we definitely won't be able to catch up..."

"Lu Cang, do you think you will become an adventurer as powerful as them in the future?"

Ugh……

Another person struggling to become stronger.

Just a few days ago, Leng Qingying was disciplined, and today it's Luluwei's turn to feel sentimental.

Lu Cang answered without hesitation, "Yes, after all, my talent is even greater than Izzy's."

"It's alright, Luluwei."

"Although you are not as talented as me, you are already very strong compared to the average person."

"Moreover, in my opinion, Izzy and the others are not insurmountable mountains. As long as we maintain our determination to surpass them, that will be fine."

Luluwei fell into a brief silence.

Who asked you that?

It has to be said that Lu Cang is always full of confidence.

"Oh? Even when faced with danger, your first thought is to escape?"

"That's different, because I believe that as long as I live, one day I will be invincible."

"Everyone goes through a process of growing from a weakling to a strong person, recognizing their own shortcomings, and maintaining a humble attitude towards all opponents."

"I believe this is the mindset that a strong person should have," Lu Cang said frankly.

"When you know that the enemy is stronger than you, you should train to be stronger before you defeat them."

"I firmly believe that I will become strong. Sister Luluwei, what do you think?" Luluwei looked at Lu Cang, who was floating in mid-air beside her, lying on the city wall and looking at her.

Lu Cang's eyes were firm and clear, revealing not a trace of wavering or distraction.

Luluwei composed herself and replied earnestly and firmly, "Of course I will become a strong person too."

"I also firmly believe that I will become a strong person."

Lu Cang smiled broadly: "That's it."

Luluwei suddenly felt her mood brighten up. Perhaps it didn't matter whether she was a true strong person or not.

The most important thing is a heart that believes in itself and that it will inevitably become a strong person.

Izu probably thought so too, as did Akari; neither of them should have wavered in their belief.

Luluwei found her own heart of strength.

I have a feeling that something inside me has been elevated.

"Lu Cang, have you ever lost?"

"lose?"

"If we have to include the time when I sparred with Iz right after I became a mage, then I should count that as a loss."

Luluwei smiled and said, "Would you like to spar with me in the arena tomorrow?"

"No."

Luluwei tilted her head and shook it: "Oh~ avoiding battle is also a way to avoid defeat?"

Lu Cang responded without any politeness: "If a level 5 archer has any shame in fighting a level 3 mage."

"However, I can recommend an opponent to Sister Luluwei..."

……

I heard that Luluwei really beat Leng Qingying badly in the battle arena.

Leng Qingying is really stubborn.

Even knowing that the opponent is a level above them, they are still willing to fight.

Luluwei, on the other hand, experienced the thrill of slaughtering a child for the first time.

The pleasure of slaughtering children is not something that can be obtained easily. It requires someone who is clearly a genius of the younger generation and the strongest in a certain field, yet he confidently wants to challenge himself.

Yet he was mercilessly killed by himself.

Seeing the humiliation, resentment, and self-reproach on Leng Qingying's face, all the pleasure was pushed to its peak.

Luluwei understood.

Hierarchical suppression is also a form of suppression.

Those who are strong at a certain level are still strong.

No one dares to say that An Zheng at level 8 is not strong, and being one level higher is indeed a world of difference.

It's too early to worry that you're not as good as Izparut and the others at level 6.

When I finally reach Level 6, it might be a completely different world!
Ok……

In short, we should congratulate Luluwei for finding confidence in Leng Qingying.

I just feel that Leng Qingying seems a bit pitiful.

As for why she was so willing to fight Luluwei...

It was because she heard that she had defeated Luluwei when she was one level lower, so she wanted to replicate her feat.

Level 4 challenges Level 5 Luluwei.

Ugh……

The young genius was arrogant and overconfident, failing to assess his own abilities.

……

Loinz Magic Academy

Iz flipped through the magic book.

"Oh~"

"So you mean... you're now the rightful leader of the Church of Death?"

A smile crept onto Izparut's lips.

"That's interesting. I wonder what Kumiloni will think when he hears that."

“No… Iz, I just don’t want Kumironi to know right now, that’s why I came to talk to you.”

Iz put down the magic book in her hand.

Would you like some coffee?

Lu Cang: "Yes, thank you."

Iz casually raised his hand.

The coffee beans in the bag next to it floated naturally in mid-air, and water formed in the air, which was heated by the fire element to form hot water.

The beans were magically shattered into powder, water and coffee beans blended together, and the aromatic liquid and solid flowed in distinct streams.

It flows into the cup.

Being a magician is really a convenient profession.

The cup was carried by the wind and flew over, landing on the table in front of Lu Cang.

"Actually, this might not be a bad opportunity."

"The Church of Death is hidden in the shadows, and even if you dig three feet into the ground, it is difficult to eradicate it completely."

"But if there is an inside man, things will be much easier."

Lu Cang took a sip of his coffee and said, "Iz, the inside man you mentioned, perhaps you're referring to the cult leader?"

Iz smiled.

Lu Cang felt somewhat helpless.

I had a pretty good idea that this would be the decision.

Anyone who thinks about it for a moment knows that killing the visible members of the death cult is only a temporary solution; the real solution is to infiltrate from within.

"However, I'm actually not that interested in eradicating the Church of Death."

"But Kumironi's insistence on upholding the principles of life inevitably leads to conflict with the followers of death. Akari and I are merely helping Kumironi."

Lu Cang knew that if it weren't for Kumironi, Iz and the others probably wouldn't have bothered with the Church of Death.

“I think Kumiloni should be able to understand, and should even approve of this approach.”

"I'll call Kumiloni over... so we can discuss it together."

Lu Cang nodded.

A faint light appeared at Izzy's fingertips, and a sliver of light flew out the window.

Not long after, a figure dressed in a noble turquoise high priest's robe pushed open the door and entered.

It appears that Kumiloni has just arrived from the Church of Life...

This is the first time I've seen her wear this outfit. Did she rush back from her work at the Church of Life?
"Iz said he has something very important to discuss with me?" Kumironi looked puzzled.

Iz rested her chin on her hands on the table and said solemnly and deliberately, "Kumironi, listen to me..."

"Lu Cang is about to become the Archbishop of the Church of Death."
