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

Chapter 166 Forbidden Technique of Light: Celestial Purification
In terms of morality, Lu Cang can be considered to have a moral concept.

But when it comes to the behavior of a gentleman or a villain, Lu Cang admits that he is not a true gentleman.

In fact, Lu Cang didn't think what he did was right either...

Even though they knew very clearly that what they were doing was wrong, they still resolutely continued to act.

I entered the restricted area using my own abilities.

It's already kind of me not to take your things, what's wrong with taking a look?
Restrictions are set up to prevent others from entering and to protect important things.

If I follow the rules.

Was my talent for breaking restrictions wasted?

Lu Cang borrowed the money openly and without any psychological burden.

The photocopy paper got stuck to the pages of the book.

Because the restrictions on the book have been broken, the contents of the book can now be directly copied.

Lu Cang copied the contents of the book page by page, and soon they were piled up into a book.

Then, he moved on to the next book.

Divine Light Spell: Purification of Original Sin

Yes, I've borrowed it.

Punishing Light Spells: Praying for the Fire of Sin

Yes, I borrowed it to read.

"Holy War Light Style" is a Light-based combat style, not bad... I'll borrow it.

Celestial Creature Summoning Magic

Oh?
That sounds good. The summoning spell for that void creature made Lu Cang feel great for a long time, and he even deliberately looked for other summoning spells afterward.

But they discovered that summoning spells were incredibly rare in the world.

The Loinz Magic Academy only has one fire elemental summoning spell and one water elemental summoning spell; it doesn't even have other elemental summoning spells like earth and stone, wind, and lightning, which should be similar.

In the end, Lu Cang created his own summoning techniques based on the two elements of fire and water to summon the remaining elements.

However, this summoning spell is actually completely different from a real summoning spell.

It's elemental manipulation disguised as summoning.

Only after these spells were upgraded and transformed into something beyond magic could they finally be considered elemental summoning spells.

Otherwise, it was just summoning a clump of burning fire elementals and controlling it to attack enemies; it was basically remote control of fire, not summoning at all.
Unexpectedly, I found another summoning spell here.

Sure enough, these hidden items are all exquisite. The forbidden hall of the Church of Light has a lot of good stuff.

After quickly photocopying the books one by one, Lu Cang put them back in their original places intact.

The restrictions remain in effect.

There was no damage or unusual activity.

Lu Cang came quietly and left quietly... without taking any of his belongings.

……

Recalling what had just happened, Lu Cang couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

It really is true that fortune favors the bold.

Lu Cang felt that this was probably the biggest risk he had taken since coming into this world.

Before choosing to break into this forbidden hall, Lu Cang had spent two days scouting the location.

It was confirmed that no observer was monitoring the situation at all times.

After the restrictions were lifted, his senses swept through the entire forbidden hall, carefully checking and confirming that there were no other traps or magical artifacts that could detect his presence.

After repeated attempts to test the waters, Lu Cang finally made such a risky move.

Currently, only level 7 job advancement cultivators can pose an immediate threat to one's life.

Even at level 6, Lu Cang estimated that he could manage to hold his own and escape.

"However, the harvest was indeed quite good..."

These magic books seem to be much more powerful than ordinary magic outside.

Even magic of the same level can be divided into different grades.

Even among those of the same level, some magic can be devastating, while others are as useless as farting.

Lu Cang was particularly eager to learn about the secret manual called Forbidden Technique.

Hopefully it's magic.

……

Loinz Magic Academy

Izzy spends more time at the academy than at home, so Lu Cang often comes here to see him.

"Oh……"

"You mean to say that these copies of top-secret scriptures that should have been kept in the Church of Light were picked up by accident on the road?"

Izzy held a stack of photocopied manuscripts and spoke calmly.

Well, that reason seems a bit lame.

Iz was able to tell the origin of these spells.

Indeed, Iz's magical knowledge is far superior to that of the average person.

A more suitable reason should be made up.

Lu Cang felt he couldn't hide it any longer and decided to confess.

“Iz…”

Izparut asked, "So, you also went to steal the spellbook?"

Lu Cang's words came to an abrupt halt.

Instead, another question arose: "What does '也' mean?"

Looking up at Izzy's expression, he saw a slight appreciative smile, revealing an expression that said, "She's a promising student."

"As expected of my disciple, he actually managed to borrow the secret scriptures of the Church of Light."

"Even I only managed to borrow the original texts of the Cold Church and briefly study the secret techniques of the Kingdom of Ruijia back then."

"The secret texts of the Church of Light are kept far too well hidden."

Lu Cang didn't know what to say for a moment...

Is this something to be proud of?

Suddenly, Izzy asked, "Lu Cang, what are the principles of a magician?"

"Tracing the root cause?"

Isn't this basic common sense? Why are you suddenly asking this...?

"Oh...I understand."

Izzy: "Yes, we are firmly on the path of practicing the principles and seeking the root causes."

"Well done, you have done a good job of upholding the principles of a magician."

Lu Cang was greatly shocked.

So there's another way to explain this?
At the same time, in Lu Cang's mind, Izzy's moral standards had slightly decreased.

After preparing Lu Cang mentally, Izzy asked, "These must be forbidden techniques stored at headquarters, right?"

"How exactly did you get it?"

Lu Cang thought for a moment and decided to be a little more frank in his answer.

He said, "I've recently gained some insights into deciphering scholars... I've broken the restrictions there."

"Oh~"

"Can you crack other things too?"

"Uh... I guess so." Lu Cang didn't say it with much certainty.

"I remember the forbidden dark arts in the Dark Church were also very interesting, but unfortunately they were sealed away so well that I never had a chance to use them."

"Being hunted down by the Dark Church would be a troublesome matter."

"Back then, I borrowed the original texts from the Cold Kingdom, and they hunted me down for a long time."

I really did borrow it...

Izzy, did you just rob me?
"If you have a way to obtain the Dark Church's secret texts, I can also offer some assistance."

"Of course, it's best not to be too conspicuous. It's best to stay out of sight and sneak around, otherwise our situation will become a bit precarious."

What does it mean for a master to encourage his apprentice to steal from someone else's restricted area?
Did they also have accomplices?

Lu Cang could now understand what Kumironi meant by Iz's fanaticism for magic.

If it's about learning interesting spells, especially unique forbidden spells, Iz doesn't care about anything else.

"Hmm... I'll think of something. If there's an opportunity, I'll take another look."

Lu Cang gave a vague reply.

Let's study the magic in front of us first.

As for the future... we'll discuss that further later.

However, the thought of having Izparut as an accomplice working from the inside made Lu Cang feel much more confident.

Even if something goes wrong, there will be someone to cover for you.

As for whether it's stolen or not, that's the magician's business. What's wrong with taking a look?
Even Izparut said so, so just follow along with whatever you want.

If you get caught, just say it was taught by your master.

The two shifted their focus from looking towards the future to the present reality.

"This light magic is truly extraordinary..."

Forbidden Magic: Celestial Purification

This was Lu Cang's first encounter with... forbidden magic.

This magic has no rank distinction; it can be learned at every level.

However, the effect and power will vary depending on the level of release.

"Summon a pillar of light that falls from the sky, continuously burning and enveloping the locked target. This pillar of light will remain until the target dies or the spell is manually dispelled."

It has a strong restraining effect on evil, undead, and dark elements.

And its range is very large. Even a level 3 beginner who has just learned it has a coverage area with a radius of 300 meters.

Forbidden techniques are indeed forbidden techniques; they are much more powerful than ordinary spells.

"Oh, Iz, this magic is fine too, right?"

"Then I'll take a look."

……

It's really convenient to have Izzy help identify spells.

It saves you the trouble of trying to find out if there is any taboo knowledge in the book.

In one afternoon, Lu Cang learned more than a dozen light-based spells, and these were not the inferior versions found outside.

Each one is of top-notch quality.

Unfortunately, some light-based spells require too high a level for Lu Cang to learn...

Sigh, I still need to advance my magician level as soon as possible.

I've already told Iz about the progress of the second source magic, and Iz estimates that she should be able to comprehend it by February.

Lu Cang estimated it would be about the same, but if he had more inspiration, it might be even sooner.

There's no point in rushing it.

Fortunately, other professions are also upgrading during this time.

Although the mage's level did not increase, their overall strength continued to grow.

……

12 month 10 day.

Lu Cang did not visit the forbidden hall of the Dark Church. Instead, he set off with Iz and Kumironi to the original site of the headquarters of the Church of Death.

Promotion is the most important thing.

call--

A howling wind swept around them as Lu Cang flew under Izzy's guidance, the surrounding scenery rushing past.

What a vast world!

As Lu Cang soared through the sky, he couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflections).

The area of ​​just the continent of Ruilen is much larger than the surface area of ​​the Earth in the previous life.

Besides the continent of Ruilen, there are five other continents that are not much different from each other.

And there's the Secret Sea...

That makes sense, though. Earth is just a tiny, insignificant planet in the universe that humans can't even fly out of.

If there were no outer space in this world, and everyone could explore freely everywhere.

Perhaps we should use the entire universe as a comparison.

call--

Lu Cang could only look in the farthest direction and see the continuous mountain range rapidly approaching him. He didn't know how fast Izzy was going, so he could only look in the farthest direction.

Did Izzy chase Messer for three days at this speed?
How far did they run exactly?
Swish!
Suddenly, Izzy and Kumironi stopped.

From top speed to sudden stop, it only takes a moment.

"What's wrong?" Lu Cang asked.

Iz looked in one direction.

Lu Cang followed Iz's gaze and saw a dark mass of demons surging in the distance, surrounding a small town nestled at the foot of the mountain.

Iz said, "I guess we'll have to take a slightly longer route."

Lu Cang nodded: "Mm."

Whoosh!
The three of them flew at top speed again!
In less than half a minute, they approached the small town at the foot of the mountain, which had been just out of sight.

clatter--

Iz's footsteps fell.

Kumironi landed inside the town, and with a wave of his hand, a beam of emerald light shot into the sky!

Then, it condensed into emerald green rain clouds!

As the rain of life falls, the wounds of everyone touched by the raindrops heal rapidly.

"That's quite a lot..."

Lu Cang observed the density of the monster tide: "It's a level 5 monster tide."

"The monster tide this month is indeed much stronger than usual."

"Lu Cang, can you handle this?"

Lu Cang nodded: "Okay, I'll do it then."

Lu Cang raised the Void Spirit Ring Star Battle Spear, and cracks appeared in the sky!

Five hundred angels with wings on their backs were summoned out of the rift!
Next came twenty enormous void creatures!

boom!
The slaughter began the instant these void creatures set foot on the earth.

Lu Cang raised his hand again.

The sky, shrouded in layers of dark red clouds, cracked open, and beams of blazing light crashed down upon the earth!

"Forbidden Light Magic: Purification of All Evils (Tier 4) (LV: 301) - More pillars of light, burning the path of light in their wake, scorching the soul with karmic fire, increasing in power with the burning time, an extremely difficult fire to extinguish, extremely fast movement, especially effective against evil, especially against the undead, especially against darkness, and purifies demons."

A beam of light plows the earth!

All that could be seen were thirty-six beams of light, each with a radius of nearly five hundred meters, moving and sweeping across!

The mountains were swept away, leaving behind a trail of white and red, with molten lava emerging.

Those demons that were swept by this light were instantly dissolved, leaving not even ashes behind.

Lu Cang had lost interest in the corpses of low-level demons.

We don't lack money now.

As for leaving some for the people in these towns...

Haha, you're about to die, and you're still thinking about killing monsters to make money?

The strongest being in this town is a Tier 4 job changer, and there's only one of them.

How could they possibly withstand a 5th-tier monster tide?

If he hadn't arrived, Lu Cang estimated that this town would have been destroyed much sooner...

That's actually true.

The rampaging monsters are a deadly disaster for most ordinary people.

The beam of light swept across the area, and hordes of monsters died.

The monster tide was dense here, so Lu Cang also activated the Thousand Army Ant Mountain, allowing it to take this opportunity to produce more black ants.

Earn more souls.

Thanks to the frantic work of the ant-infested mountain, the monster tide was rapidly thinning out...

It took about half an hour.

The monster tide here has dropped to its lowest level, and it can be described as sunny and cloudless.

"ended."

If only the efficiency of the ant mountain could be even higher.

Lu Cang remembered discussing monster science with Yuna. Theoretically speaking, monsters can advance from low to high rank.

Moreover, the monster's soul also mentioned the matter of evolution.

This indeed shows that monsters can evolve on their own.

Perhaps we should consider how to make the ant mountain a little more efficient.

Save the town, and you'll receive gratitude.

Lu Cang could probably understand this kind of journey.

After that, they continued flying, but this time the speed was a bit slower.

Lu Cang seemed to be able to see many ruins of destruction that flashed by in the mountains and rivers.

There was once a civilization there, and people lived there.

You can even see monsters moving around in some villages.

When encountering these towns, Iz would always land there, casually unleash a spell, and wipe out all the monsters in the vicinity.

After that, Kumiloni would always shake his head and say to Iz, "There are no more living people."

……

"That's really cruel."

Izzy said calmly, "These kinds of things happen all over the world."

"We can't save everyone in the world, we can only do what we can."

Lu Cang said, "So that's why Master Iz doesn't like to participate in wars? It's already cruel enough that monsters kill people, but then humans have to kill people too."

Iz: "Hmm...that's one of the reasons, I guess."

Along the way, they saved about two towns.

But the ruins, destroyed villages, towns, and even city-states that were seen numbered in the hundreds.

It's unclear whether it was recently destroyed or had been extinct for a long time.

Along the way, we encountered several towns and villages where monsters still lingered, but by the time we arrived, there were no survivors.

At noon, the three landed.

Before them lay a hidden stronghold concealed within a mountain cave; the Church of Death would never openly construct a palace.

This should be the headquarters of the Church of Death.

Lu Cang sensed a powerful restriction here, indicating that something else remained within this headquarters.

Kumironi said, "Let's go. No church members will come around here today."

"But we still need to be as careful as possible; we can't let the church find out..."

Kumiloni, you have a strong sense of stealth too.
