Chapter 335: Chapter 188: Divine Level·Enlightenment Realm Awareness
Heh. Was there even a choice?
This is the one.
With a thought, Lu Cang fused this new realm with his Combat Skill.
At this moment, he now possessed four different Extreme Battle Intents.
An arsenal like that would be considered ridiculously overpowered anywhere.
Lu Cang stepped forward and patted Chi Cheng on the back.
Chi Cheng turned around and saw Lu Cang.
Hmm?
’When did he get behind me?’
’Sure, my attention wasn’t on Lu Cang, and he had no hostile intent.’
’But that doesn’t mean he can just sneak up behind a Level 6 Warrior like me without being noticed.’
"You didn’t notice me?" Lu Cang asked.
Chi Cheng shook his head.
"Oh..."
WHOOSH—
Chi Cheng glanced at the empty space in front of him...
’Uh, who was I just talking to?’
Lu Cang then reappeared on Chi Cheng’s other side.
"Chi Cheng, how about that time?"
Chi Cheng whipped his head around. "What the—!"
...
After Lu Cang spent some time appearing and disappearing around Chi Cheng...
He finally confirmed it.
Even a Level 6 Warrior was susceptible to the effects of the Moonlight Realm.
He would forget for about two or three seconds, not even remembering that he had just been talking to him.
But if he thought back a moment, he could more or less recall it.
’Someone weaker would probably lose their memory for even longer.’
’It seems the Moonlight Realm’s effect is as strong as a Divine Talent. It’s probably like a complete mastery over a Restriction, or like Soul Dominator—an effect so powerful that even someone much stronger would be influenced.’
’It’s like a budget version of a Divine Talent.’
’Combined with my two Extreme Battle Intents, Severed Thought and Unconscious Will, I could probably disappear right in the middle of a fight.’
’My opponent wouldn’t even remember that we had been fighting.’
’What a shame.’
’I’m not an Assassin.’
’Otherwise, using it for a powerful stealth disengage would be incredibly useful.’
’So, one realm per month, huh?’
’That means next month will probably be a realm related to life and growth.’
’If I add that to my Body Refining Technique, the improvement should be significant.’
’March is the month of knowledge and wisdom...’
’What kind of realm would that be?’
’It feels like it would be completely incompatible with most Combat Skills...’
’Whatever, March is still a long way off.’
’Maybe by then, I’ll have learned a new Combat Skill that’s a perfect fit for it.’
’This Talent seems geared more toward long-term growth.’
’If a hundred years were to pass, I’d have one thousand two hundred different Moonlight Realms...’
’And you can even stack the same kind of realm repeatedly on a single Combat Skill.’
’If I stacked a hundred realms of Death and Destruction onto a single Combat Skill... I can’t even imagine how powerful it would become.’
’Combat Skills aren’t like Magic. Even at Level 7 or Level 8, you’re still using the Second and Third Forms of your techniques. Plus, Combat Skills can continuously evolve.’
’With Magic, you basically have to learn new spells every time you upgrade.’
’In the late game, Mages rarely use most of their Low Tier Magic.’
’But a Warrior really sticks to one fighting style for life.’
He let out a breath...
’Two Level 4 Professions now.’
’Back on the walls of Raine Town, I used to watch in awe as a Level 4 Mage cast a Tornado or a Level 4 Warrior charged into a horde of Demon Beasts to fight.’
’I yearned to reach that higher realm.’
’And now, I’ve reached it myself.’
’Safely and steadily, step by step.’
Lu Cang glanced toward the shadows, where a certain someone was staring at him.
’I’ve finally caught up to her in Level.’
Leng Qingying.
’I won’t just surpass them in strength; I’ll catch up to their leveling speed as well.’
’Next goal: reach Level 5 and catch up to Lu Luwei.’
His promotion as a Warrior was complete.
As for the points needed for Decryption Scholar... Lu Cang could now calculate the rather complex promotion score in his head, no longer needing paper and pen.
’It went up from 5,000 to 7,500?’
’Isn’t that a bit much?’
Lu Cang walked out of the Promotion Hall. ’As for the scholars’ discussions, I’ll just read their research reports later.’
’With their intelligence, it’s not like they’ll get too far off track.’
"Hey~ Not a bad fight."
Chum draped herself over Lu Cang again.
She rarely wore her Armor unless she was on a field mission.
The soft, squishy sensation—
Lu Cang asked, "Chum, are you participating in this operation too?"
Chum replied, "Of course."
"I’m going to get my revenge!"
’Good for her. Very ambitious.’
Just then, a message from Lu Luwei suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Lu Cang, one of the people you asked me to keep an eye on just made a move."
"I see them setting up some kind of evil-looking Ritual. Take a look for yourself."
It was true that Lu Luwei didn’t know much about Rituals.
Lu Cang looked through her Perception.
He saw a woman with filthy, disheveled black hair kneeling in the center of the Ritual.
This Ritual...
’Is it a communication Ritual?’
’Who are they contacting?’
"Lord Hawei, Chum is not dead."
"The Life Church may still impact our plans. Should we abort the exploration of the ruins?"
The message was just a single sentence.
Once it was delivered, the Ritual ended.
’The ruins... Those Skin Takers mentioned the ruins too. I heard they’re fraught with danger, and one might even encounter a Divine Anomaly...’
’Other people might be interested in exploring a place like that.’
’But Lu Cang would avoid it like the plague.’
’A Divine Anomaly... how could I be sure a True Divine Being wouldn’t just pop out and kill me?’
’Missing out on one opportunity won’t kill you, but taking on one extra crisis very well might.’
Now, this messenger had mentioned the ruins again.
"By the way, Chum, are you guys planning to explore those ruins?"
Chum said, "Mmm... we probably have to. After all, those Cult members are eyeing the ruins greedily, so it’s the best opportunity to corner them."
Chum...
’They already know you’re going, yet you’re still walking right into the trap they’ve set for you.’
’But it’s her job. There’s probably no way around it.’
’Such a high-risk Profession.’
’If it were me, I would’ve quit long ago.’
Soon, Kumironi and the others also emerged from the Promotion Hall.
Next, it was time to eradicate the Rose of Shedding Skin Cult—root and stem.
