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

Chapter 21 Eight Arts
Being treated like a child is a really strange feeling.

It would be even better if they treated me like a child when it came to my drinking.

Finally having the opportunity to move freely, Lu Cang's first thought was to brush up on the common sense he lacked.

At least we can escape a state of complete ignorance about the world.

……

When I arrived at the library, there were surprisingly many people.

I originally thought it would be a very deserted place.

Lu Cang arrived in front of a magic circle.

Search Techniques

The spell for searching books is really convenient. I heard that it works by permanently setting up the magic array so that it stays in one place forever.

Afterwards, only simple maintenance is needed to keep the magic supply running.

Lu Cang's mind raced through the search techniques and quickly found the book he wanted.

A Guide to Common Sense About the World

Ha ha……

It's such a simple and unpretentious name, but it's exactly the kind of book I want.

Swish!
select.

Soon, a book flew directly off the bookshelf in the distance.

It fell into Lu Cang's hands.

How convenient, magic!

After receiving the general knowledge guide, Lu Cang found a place to sit down.

It took an entire afternoon to look at it.

Lu Cang skipped the world history section and went straight to the career section.

Combat-oriented class classifications: Warrior, Mage, Archer, Defender, Healer, Assassin, Mechanic...

This is a very thick book, and it records everything in detail.

By the time I closed the book, it was already dusk, but I hadn't read much of it.

Lu Cang's first priority was to study the knowledge he cared about most, followed by the most basic common sense, and there was still a lot of content he hadn't looked at yet.

Things like God and faith, which are not something I can currently access, are skipped over, just like world history.

Realizing it was getting late, Lu Cang rented the book and returned to the hotel.

On the way back to the hotel.

Many adventurers began to greet him proactively, and Lu Cang sensed that they were no longer looking at him with the eyes of a child following Iz.

Instead, he said, "Hey, Lu Cang! Thanks for the treat yesterday!"

first……

He doesn't call himself Little Lu Cang, but Lu Cang.

Secondly... never mind.

At least this shows that he has a place in the town of Rennes.

He was no longer just a pitiful child that Izzy and the others were taking care of.

Instead, it is the adventurer: (Little) Lu Cang.

Shortly after returning to the hotel, Iz took him out again.

He remains his mentor.

As a mentor, one must impart magical knowledge.

I did a crash course on common sense today.

Lu Cang finally learned about the hierarchical system of this world.

Each profession is divided into levels 1 to 9.

Level 1 is the lowest, and Level 9 is theoretically the highest.

However, some professions currently have a maximum level of less than 9.

Each professional level has its own corresponding title.

A level 1 mage is called an apprentice.

A level 2 mage is called a Archmage.

A level 3 mage is known as a Grand Magus.

Reaching level 3 already makes one a powerful mage, holding a significant position in the regional mage association.

A level 4 mage is known as a magic expert.

As for a level 5 mage, which is Izparut's level, the title for this level is: Magic Emperor.

The difference between level 4 and level 5 titles is too big...

Lu Cang couldn't help but complain.

Izzy's strength in his mind has increased significantly.

A rare level 5 mage in the world.

No wonder he said he was very strong.

That makes sense.

Looking across the entire world, there are only 1 to 2 level 5 mages in an entire kingdom.

Moreover, they are all the chief mages of the palace.

From this perspective, Izzy is indeed very powerful.

There should be no rivals in Raine.

"Today we will learn dark magic, Shadow Arrow, and earth magic, Earth Spike."

This is Izzy's lesson for today.

"By the way, practice all the magic you've learned... to the point of mastery."

Proficiency limit...

It refers to level 100, right?

Izzy, you really know how to teach according to aptitude...

Lu Cang is no longer completely ignorant of common sense.

Lu Cang's top priority for today's tutoring is common sense that he will use frequently.

Most mages, in fact, only learn one or two spells without casting in their entire lives.

Without chanting, this spell would likely need to be cast approximately 3 times.

For a mage, it is absolutely impossible to use only one type of magic.

It also takes time for magic to recover.

When Lu Cang first advanced, he used lightning strikes more than ten times, which completely exhausted his magic power.

The total magic power of a level 1 mage is typically 5 to 10 times that of a mage after advancement.

It replenishes magic power and spellcasting day and night, and can cast spells 200 times a day.

However... for most magicians, restoring magic power requires meditation.

Yes, the effect of Magic Tide, which can operate automatically and replenish magic power at any time, is extremely rare.

Moreover, even the Magic Tide only started operating fully automatically from LV:10.

Before LV:10, Lu Cang still needs to control the operation.

If you're casting spells and healing from morning till night, you won't be able to do anything else all day.

And the most fundamental reason is that it's not worth wasting so much energy on low-level spells.

Upgrading from level 1 to level 2 is something everyone can do.

Most mages choose to focus their energy on second-tier spells. Therefore, the vast majority of mages will only master about one or two second-tier spells that require no casting in their lifetime.

This is probably the limit of a mage's energy in a lifetime.

And Izparut's demands on himself.

I'm going to learn two new spells tonight.

Furthermore, you should also "incidentally" raise the proficiency of all the spells you've learned to LV:100.

Ah……

If anyone else heard Izparut's request, they would probably think he was crazy.

"If you master these spells tonight, you can advance to level 2 mage tomorrow."

"You should become the fastest mage in the world to reach level 2."

Level 2?
Hearing Izzy's promise, Lu Cang was overjoyed.

Finally, finally I can upgrade.

Lu Cang felt as if the next god-level talent was already beckoning to him.

The "God-level Proficiency Evolution" alone is that awesome.

If we have another one, wouldn't we be invincible?
"Mastering all limits..."

"Okay, Iz!"

"Then let's look forward to it!"

"The darkness born from the bones coalesces into a deadly arrow, piercing through!"

"Learned the spell - Shadow Bolt (LV: 1)"

"Shadow Bolt Proficiency EXP +10000"

"Shadow Bolt (LV: 5)"

……

Whoosh!
The Shadow Arrow pierced through the scarecrow in front, leaving a patch of darkness on its body.

Iz shook her head slightly after reading it.

"Instead of attacking the dummy, you should attack me."

"Try to defeat me with all your might."

With that, Iz took a step forward.

It had already taken the place of the dummy and was standing far away from Lu Cang.

"Master Iz, please be careful."

boom!
Without any warning or warning, the thunder struck down with a deafening roar!

Lu Cang didn't even use the "Shadow Arrow," which still required chanting.

Instead, it was directly replaced with the instant-cast, fastest "Lightning Strike" spell.

Boom!

The thunder exploded above Iz's head, crackling and flashing with electricity—

However... Iz was completely unharmed.

"The lightning is not concentrated enough and lacks penetrating power."

boom!
Without any pause, the second attack came!

"Lightning is too slow. Lightning is the second most important element after light. When you use lightning, don't start from your body. Try to summon lightning directly."

call!
shhhhh--

An invisible wind blade slashed out!
It brushed past Izzy, not because Lu Cang didn't want to hit it, but because its direction was completely changed.

"The release of the wind blade must follow the flow of the natural wind, so that the wind blade can be hidden in the natural wind."

"The greatest advantage of the wind blade is its invisibility and concealment. If it is released against the direction of the wind, its power will be reduced and it will be easier for the enemy to detect it."

Ding--

The Cross of Light was caught by Iz with one hand.

"The characteristics of light are purity and speed. The greatest characteristic of the Cross of Light is purity. Do not mix any other elements when condensing the Cross of Light."

"Furthermore, the purpose of the Cross of Light is not to kill, but to dispel evil..."

boom!
The fireball exploded around Iz.

"Flame is the most common form of lethality, and these lethalities can be categorized as burning, impact, flammation, and explosion within a fireball..."

Every time Izzy opened her mouth.

All of this made Lu Cang realize that each time he released a spell, he would gain more proficiency and additional effects.

And cast magic on Iz.

Even the most normal release will grant an additional proficiency bonus.

"Ground Spike Technique Proficiency EXP +50000"

"Fireball Proficiency EXP +50000"

isn't it...

Is he some kind of experience training target?

Why do I get 5 times the experience when I attack him?

It feels strangely eerie.

The speed of spellcasting is much faster; what used to take one spell can now be cast two or even three times...

Moreover, the elements have become unusually concentrated, even though the magic is now being restored from the void.

However, when casting certain spells, using readily available external elements can make the process faster.

As Iz said, when casting Lightning Strike, you can just use lightning directly; there's no need to use your own magic to release it.

Using this technique, the enemy will have almost no time to react.

But unfortunately, it was Izparut standing before them.

It's probably because the difference between a level 5 mage and a level 1 mage is too great.

Even though Lu Cang felt that he was casting the spell very quickly, he was able to defend against it easily.

Now, thanks to the extra experience bonus and Izparut's guidance...

Lu Cang's magic upgrade efficiency has been skyrocketing...

With almost no magic left, he kept casting spells on Iz from 7 p.m. until 4 a.m.

After the last giant spike burst through the ground and was crushed by Iz's foot.

The last "Earth Spike" skill has also been upgraded to LV: 100.
Lu Cang spent the entire night on it.

Finally, the spells "Lightning Strike," "Ice Cone," "Fireball," "Wind Blade," "Illumination," "Cross of Light," "Shadow Bolt," and "Earth Spike" were mastered.

All eight spells have been upgraded to level 100 proficiency.

In addition, there's the constantly operating, max-level "Mana Void".

Lu Cang already possesses nine level 100 spells.

Furthermore, each spell has an evolution prompt.

"Ice Spike (Evolvable)"

"Selectable evolution paths: Manipulation, Speed, Freeze, Power"

Seeing that Lu Cang had finished practicing the last spell, Iz brushed off her clothes, intending to call it a day.

And it was at that very moment.

Whoosh!
Three crystal-clear ice bolts, trailing long streaks, instantly appeared before Iz.

sneak attack.
