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

Chapter 331 Farewell and Moving Forward

"You must be the friend Yuna was talking about."

Before Lu Cang stood a woman dressed in a white academic gown.

On her left breast are seven stars arranged in a specific order, symbolizing that she is a level 7 scholar with far more extensive knowledge than the average person.

"Ah."

Yuna said she wanted to wait until she saw you before leaving.

Lu Cang nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Instead, he turned to look at Yuna, who turned her face away.

Seeing this, the tower master couldn't help but smile helplessly... Such is the bond between children.

I've heard that this kid named Lu Cang is quite a character.

At such a young age, he is already a Root Mage.

However... not much else is known about him, and it seems that some entity is deliberately protecting his information.

Even with his status as a Level 7 Scholar and the Lord of the White Tower in Atlantis, he couldn't find anything.

All that is known is that he is now a Level 4 scholar within the White Tower.

Possesses privileges equivalent to a Level 4 Scholar.

Some time ago, he submitted a number of cutting-edge theories about magic, and now the review panel is assessing his status as a 5th-level scholar.

The results of today's cross-audit are in.

Lu Cang should be able to advance smoothly to a 5th-tier scholar...

If his age is really similar to Yuna's, then perhaps Lu Cang is a better choice than Yuna.

"Lu Cang".

"Do you want to go to the Tower of Sages and participate in the selection of sages?"

Lu Cang looked up at the woman.

He shook his head and said, "No... I have no interest in becoming a sage."

The main reason is that I need to go to the World Center Tree to meet up with Iz and the others... Moreover, I also need to go to the World Center Tree to seek answers for advancing from level 7 to level 8.

Lu Cang believed he should be able to reach level 7 during his travels.

If I go to the Tower of Sages, I don't know how long it will take... and the things there might not be what I want.

If it's a chance encounter that happens on the way, that's fine.

I'd rather not make a special trip there.

"That's it..."

"Well then, I won't force you."

Seeing the child refuse the opportunity, the woman's tone became somewhat somber.

This opportunity to become a sage is something most people can only dream of, and she actually envied it, but unfortunately she missed it.

Now I see others rejecting the opportunities I've always dreamed of.

I couldn't help but feel a little lost.

She patted their heads and walked between them, saying, "You two chat, Yuna, I'll wait for you outside."

"We're not in a rush, so it doesn't matter if we leave a day later."

Yuna nodded slightly, and the woman had already left the room.

"Yuna, uh..."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Lu Cang... thank you for coming to see me off."

“I have already spoken to my parents, and they respect my choice.”

“Luluwei and Leng Qingying also came to see me yesterday.”

Lu Cang: "Hmm..."

Lu Cang knew all of these things. The entire city was now within his perception range, and he was also very clear about Yuna's actions.

In fact, with just a thought, Lu Cang could teleport to the inside of the White Tower to see Yuna.

only……

The emotions I feel are hard to put into words.

It's not that they're naive or truly clueless children, but it's precisely because they're not real children that they're so conflicted and awkward.

Lu Cang still couldn't figure out how to face Yuna.

In the end, Lu Cang chose to bury himself in studying his magic and combat skills, and forging equipment... focusing his mind on becoming stronger.

Yuna rubbed her hands together: "Lu Cang, what I told you before..."

"Did I scare you...?"

Lu Cang thought for a moment and replied, "A little."

Yuna whispered, "Sorry, I gave you some distractions."

Lu Cang: "It's not that bad, and there's no need to apologize."

"I just couldn't think of a good answer for the moment... All I could think about was getting promoted and becoming stronger."

"As you know, I recently went through something quite painful."

Lu Cang was referring to Earth.

The destruction of Earth did cause Lu Cang some pain, but he suppressed this painful feeling with his extremely high spirituality and compulsive rationality.

Home, I've found it.

But we can never go back.

Now I am just a wandering soul in a foreign land, and I don't even know what my true nature is anymore.

Most of the hopes and dreams in my heart have been lost.

All that remained was the thought of becoming stronger... strong enough to stand up to Yuechen.

So, Yuna confessed.

This filled Lu Cang's heart with yet another kind of chaos.

"Um……"

"You told me, I know... so I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"I just feel that if I don't tell you these things, I might never have the chance to say them again."

"You yourself said that my choice was fraught with danger."

"If I really never come back, perhaps you will never know my feelings."

Lu Cang: "Yes, I understand. I don't blame you."

Yuna: "Actually... I don't have anything in particular to say."

"Well, let's leave it at that."

"I am leaving."

Their conversation came to an abrupt end.

Fragments of images flashed through Lu Cang's mind.

The time I spent with Yuna when I first came into contact with the White Tower and was just beginning to be curious about the knowledge of this world.

We explored many new and interesting things, from day to night.

It feels like we have endless topics to discuss.

Everything in this world was new to them.

At that time, the two had a tacit and clear division of labor.

Yuna was responsible for identifying the problems and finding solutions, while Lu Cang was responsible for deciphering the mystery and finding the answers...

However, they grew up too fast.

Lu Cang's rapid growth meant he would learn more than Yuna and possess knowledge surpassing hers.

Without realizing it, I no longer needed to communicate with Yuna.

A sense of loneliness suddenly arose in Lu Cang's heart.

Then he thought of Xu Zhou, Jie Zhu, Hun Mu, and others.

My own path seems destined to be lonely.

It's difficult for others to stay by your side because they can't keep up with your pace, which also means danger.

The more you grow stronger, the more dangerous things you will encounter.

Lu Cang couldn't possibly take people who weren't helpful to him along; it would not only be a burden to himself but also put others in danger.

In the end, everyone around you will leave...

A sense of loneliness arises spontaneously.

There is no hometown to return to, and it is difficult to keep friends around.

Lu Cang looked up: "Yuna."

Yuna stopped in her tracks: "Hmm?"

"Take these things."

Lu Cang handed over a storage bag.

Yuna: "What is this?"

Lu Cang replied, "They are some things that can save my life. I don't need them, but you might be able to."

"There are also some more precious materials. If you encounter something that you can't buy with money but really want, you can try trading with these materials."

"However, remember not to flaunt your wealth, and don't let people know that you have valuable things."

"You don't know how to fight, so you must be extremely careful."

"In addition, there are some spellbooks and combat techniques, as well as my insights on magic... If you want to take on a combat profession, these might be helpful."

"I think it's safer to have a combat profession when you're out and about."

"Of course, it also depends on your own wishes."

puff-

Yuna covered her mouth and laughed: "Lu Cang, you really are awkward."

"I always feel it's troublesome, but I can't bear to do it, so in the end I still lend a helping hand to people in need."

"Then she'll go on and on about how much she doesn't want to help, and how those people's lives and deaths have nothing to do with her."

"The reason why Kumironi was able to accept you as a death priest must be because he saw the kindness in your heart."

Is it kind?
I don't consider myself a kind person at all... I've done a lot of immoral things and things that are illegal.

"Lu Cang, I'll accept these things."

"I will definitely... wait for you in the future."

Yuna smiled happily.

Lu Cang also smiled and said, "Well, after I become a true powerhouse, I might go to the Tower of Sages to find you first."

"Well, I'm looking forward to it." Yuna put her hands behind her back, facing away from Lu Cang.

"That's fine~ I want to save the anticipation for the future, for the day we meet again."

Yuna calmly pushed open the door.

The woman outside the door looked slightly surprised.

"You finished talking so quickly?" "It seems you really have no more lingering resentment..."

"Very well, those with determination are more likely to become sages. I have high hopes for you, little girl." The woman patted Yuna's head.

The two went far away.

Lu Cang watched the two figures as they walked away.

He let out a long sigh.

This woman is not a bad person.

After touching her, there were no problems in the feedback.

Swah——

Lu Cang teleported back to his residence once more.

Leng Qingying was hanging upside down from the ceiling chandelier.

"I thought you weren't planning on going to see Yuna."

Lu Cang sighed: "Do I look like such a heartless person?"

"I think you're more like an assassin than I am. I thought you really had no feelings." Leng Qingying was hanging upside down. Although she was only ten years old, her figure was already quite shapely.

There are so many kids around me.

Although I was a kid myself.

Lu Cang sensed Luluwei and looked towards her. At that moment, Luluwei was gazing into the distance, practicing her perception enhancement technique.

"How long are we going to stay here?"

Lu Cang replied, "Let's wait a couple of days. I'll set off once I reach level 2 blacksmithing."

Lu Cang changed the subject abruptly: "You've been killing people these past few days, haven't you?"

Leng Qingying didn't shy away from the question: "Yes."

"Who did you kill?"

Leng Qingying replied, "Cult members."

"Luluwei has discovered the trail of the Molting Roses. I'm going to kill them."

When Leng Qingying killed Luo Yan, it could be considered taking advantage of her vulnerability.

The opponent happened to be in a chaotic period of transformation between monsters and humans, and Leng Qingying seized the opportunity to exploit their weakness and instantly killed them.

In a direct confrontation, Leng Qingying would probably be no match for Luo Yan.

After all, Luo Yan was someone who could defeat Yelia, and she was a level 6 job changer, two levels lower than Leng Qingying.

"You're almost there, aren't you? You're about to meet the requirements for becoming a level 5 assassin, aren't you?"

Leng Qingying has indeed killed a lot of people during this period, including many powerful and influential figures. She often kills people of higher levels, and having spent so much time with Lu Cang, she has gained a deep understanding of assassination techniques.

"Yes, I feel like I'm going to get promoted."

Lu Cang: "Then, I'll help you get promoted while I'm at it."

My initial reason for bringing Yuna and Leng Qingying along was that I had promised Kumironi that I would take care of them a little.

Lu Cang believed he still owed someone a debt of gratitude, especially since he had promised Kumironi, so he tried his best to fulfill it.

As long as Leng Qingying doesn't cause him any trouble, Lu Cang wouldn't mind bringing her along.

However... whether she can protect herself if she encounters danger in the future is another question.

"it is good."

when--

The moment he finished speaking, Lu Cang caught the dagger that was thrust at him between two fingers.

"Didn't I tell you not to attack me suddenly?"

Leng Qingying tilted her head: "Is it sudden?"

Lu Cang: "Not really... never mind, I'll play along with you for a bit."

wow——

Leng Qingying's figure had already disappeared from Lu Cang's sight.

Immediately afterwards, different phantoms appeared in all directions.

boom!
In an instant, all these phantoms exploded!

"Azure Flow - Third Form: Illusion Strike"

However, amidst the countless dissipating illusions, a cold glint pierced straight towards Lu Cang's throat.

Conceal the substantial within the insubstantial.

Lu Cang realized that the other party wanted to kill him.

The line of thought is clear, though.

Knowing that he was slower than me, he used trickery to his advantage... and his skills were even more amazing than before.

Lu Cang used his senses to look behind him.

The dagger flying from the front was just a feint; the real attack came from behind.

Leng Qingying also learned her own Sky Flow technique.

She couldn't learn the complete Sky Flow technique, but she developed her own unique way of using it.

"Azure Flow - Fourth Form: Emptiness"

Indeed, it does resemble me to some extent.

The cold light behind him drew near, but Lu Cang merely shifted to the side...

call!
The slash that came from nothingness missed its mark.

But then, Lu Cang felt high-frequency vibrations coming from all directions...

The air was turbulent, like a drum, with sounds and air currents in disarray!
The sound, like a heartbeat, echoed rapidly.

dong dong dong-

By altering the environment through breath... a sense of tension is created to disrupt intuitive judgment... causing others to misjudge their intuition in this oppressive atmosphere.

Assassins are most afraid of those with strong intuition who can sense danger without warning.

Disrupting intuition is also a required course for advanced assassins.

Otherwise, if you kill any high-level expert, their intuition will already sense the danger, so what's the point of assassination?

Lu Cang sensed the disturbance in his surroundings.

It's true that it's sometimes hard to distinguish between feelings stemming from intuition and those influenced by the environment.

I felt extremely restless and slightly uneasy.

when!
A cold glint instantly appeared before his eyes.

But Lu Cang simply reached back and gripped the handle.

Snapped--

In an instant, he grabbed a thin wrist.

The opponent suddenly exerted force, trying to stab the dagger forward, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it an inch.

boom--

There was nothing else to do but vanish into nothingness.

"You've mastered my Azure Sky Flow quite well."

"You even created your own assassination techniques based on my style, which is quite impressive."

"You've done a great job in every aspect."

"Unfortunately, your physical strength is still too weak; your speed and power are both lacking."

"Skills are important, but if the foundation is not solid, the ground will still shake."

Lu Cang looked toward an open space in the room.

Swah——

Then, his eyes moved.

Then he looked to the other side.

Leng Qingying, who was invisible, felt as if she had seen a ghost... How did he manage to see through her invisibility?
However, now that it has been completely discovered...

I can only give it a try!

Swah——

Leng Qingying appeared before Lu Cang almost instantly, her dagger flashing like a silver snake as she stabbed towards Lu Cang's throat.

click -

Boom!

However, a very crisp sound rang out.

Leng Qingying felt as if she had stabbed a heavy mountain with a dagger. It was clearly her vulnerable throat, but it hadn't hurt her at all.

Lu Cang did not use any combat techniques, but simply withstood the blow aimed at his weak point with his bare body.

"So, you're too weak."

"With your current strength, if you were to fight a golden dragon of the same level as you, you wouldn't even be able to pierce its scales."

Leng Qingying couldn't help but feel a burning urge to bite.

Am I weak?

"Was the example you gave a human? That was a golden dragon, whose physical body was unparalleled..."

Lu Cang replied, "I think if you're aiming for the strongest, defeating the Golden Dragon is the minimum requirement, right?"

"If you feel that you are fine now, then I don't care."

Leng Qingying gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment: "Then, what do you suggest we do?"

Lu Cang: "I just pointed out your problem. How you deal with it is up to you."

"I have some potions here that can help with body training. Your physical strength isn't being used to its full potential yet."

"If it were the stab you just delivered, this is how I would have generated the force."

A dagger materialized in Lu Cang's hand.

It stabs suddenly into the air!
boom!
Although it only pierces the air, it gives people the feeling of penetrating the void.

The instant the dagger was thrust out, Leng Qingying felt Lu Cang's entire body, every cell, was moving. His blood and qi seemed to be aligned in a straight line at that moment, and all his blood and qi were thrusting out in the direction of the dagger!
It was completely different from his usual demeanor.

This is Lu Cang's current physical body...

Not only in terms of pure physical strength, but also in his skills and control over blood and qi, his abilities have reached an unparalleled level.

"Let's practice for now."

"Tomorrow I'll help you advance to level 5 assassin, then you should be able to understand things more deeply."

He taught Leng Qingying some combat skills, and also fulfilled her need to advance to level 6 warrior.

Although assassins differ from warriors, they share many common skills.

……

4 month 28 day.

Yuna left yesterday, having already largely fulfilled her blacksmithing principles.

Without a high-level blacksmith to teach him the essentials, Lu Cang was essentially feeling his way across the river, and his progress was far slower than he had imagined. Most of his time was spent exploring whether there were any hidden secrets in blacksmithing.

He also combined magic and combat skills to research and create some unique techniques for blacksmithing.

After being promoted to level 2 blacksmith, you should be able to forge some equipment that you can use, right?
