Chapter 564: Chapter 327: Confession

[Talent Acquired: Additional Enhancement (Excellent) >> Divine Level·Radiant Ascension]

[Talent Acquired: Additional Enchantment (Excellent) >> Divine Level·Supreme Seal]

Two Divine Talents obtained.

This upgrade went off without a hitch, too. The Divine Talents always arrived right on schedule, as if there were truly no limit. He got one for every upgrade, for every professional awakening.

’Are the Divine Talents really from the Highest Leaf?’

According to An Su, the Spirituality of the Highest Leaf was supposed to grant an extremely powerful Talent... but what he was getting now was more than just a single, powerful Talent.

’I wonder if there’s anyone else in this world with a higher Talent than me.’

After completing his professional awakening, the knowledge of a Blacksmith and an Enchanter simultaneously flooded Lu Cang’s mind.

[Divine Level·Radiant Ascension: All self-Forged items can undergo Radiant Ascension Enhancement. With each Enhancement, the item’s Forging Effect will be at least ten times stronger than the previous one.]

Equipment created by a Blacksmith can be Enhanced. After Enhancement, the equipment’s Forging Effect will see a slight increase.

Generally speaking, most Blacksmiths can only Enhance their equipment two or three times.

Any further Enhancements would cause the equipment to shatter under the strain.

He’d heard that Chi Cheng’s sword had been Enhanced five times.

’If every Enhancement is ten times the previous one, then five times would be a ten-thousand-fold increase, right?’

"Too bad. It’s not a Talent that lets me craft Divine Artifacts directly."

Lu Cang recalled a novel he had read before being transported here.

The protagonist in it obtained something called a Divine Artifact Atlas, which allowed him to synthesize Divine Artifacts based on the diagrams inside.

All he had to do was find a few cheap materials, and BAM, he could crank out a Divine Artifact.

Lu Cang had actually been looking forward to awakening a Talent like that, but alas, it was just wishful thinking.

[Divine Level·Supreme Seal: Can directly apply an Enchantment Effect to anything in the world.]

The Enchanter’s Talent was much simpler by comparison.

The reason Blacksmiths and Enchanters were distinct was that there was, in fact, a huge difference between them.

Enchanters were generally unable to place Enchantments on items Forged by a Blacksmith; they could only carve and Enchant corresponding special materials.

The requirements for the materials were extremely high.

And these types of materials mostly lacked high durability.

In *Materials Science*, there was even a very peculiar hypothesis.

Materials with high durability have low Enchantability.

Materials with high Enchantability will inevitably have low durability.

This was why Enchanted Robes and Enchanted Magic Staves used for Mage equipment often had low Defense Power and were quite fragile.

If an Enchanter could place an Enchantment on any substance, they would become the single strongest crafting Profession, bar none.

Besides the Talents, his two Professional Awakenings also came with their corresponding Profession Skills.

The Blacksmith Skills were [Forging], [Enhancement], and [Dismantle].

The Enchanter Skills were [Enchantment] and [Enchantment Material Disassembly].

’How simple and unadorned.’

Once everything was over, Lu Luwei slowly descended to the ground.

"Was your professional awakening successful?"

Lu Cang nodded. "Yes. Thank you for standing guard for me, Sister Lu Luwei."

Lu Luwei snorted. "Hmph, as if you need my help."

"I do."

From Lu Luwei’s perspective, Lu Cang’s temperament had indeed changed slightly as he grew stronger.

But his caution and prudence had remained constant.

After the professional awakening was complete, the two didn’t linger. The commotion and destruction Lu Cang had caused had probably already attracted some attention.

Although he was protected by the Unsolvable Mystery, Lu Luwei was not.

’We’d better leave before this commotion stirs up any real trouble.’

Next, he had to find a way to unseal his first wish as soon as possible.

Lu Cang still hadn’t fulfilled his wish to learn a Forbidden Spell through a [Divine Talent]... but he could see a bright point of light shining in the distance.

That was the location of a Forbidden Spell.

He just hadn’t gotten close enough to know which of the Ten Forbidden Spells it was.

According to An Su, among the Ten Forbidden Spells, the most widespread one was the Seventh Forbidden Magic—Element.

It was also the only existing Forbidden Spell in the world known to be mastered by a handful of Mages.

Another legend stated that mastering three of the Original Forbidden Spells would guarantee one’s ascent to a Level 9 Mage.

Mastering all ten Forbidden Spells would make one a complete Root Source—a Level 10 Mage.

These were all legends An Su had brought with him from ancient times.

’I wonder how much of it is true and how much is false.’

...

「The White Tower」

Lu Cang arrived at the White Tower again. There were fewer people here now.

A few days ago, several schools in the city had been demolished.

Those schools had been used to cultivate new blood for the Church. Now that the Reincarnation Church was no longer recruiting new members, they couldn’t operate without funding.

There was one less Church performing charity in the slums: the Reincarnation Church.

The Reincarnation Church had no shortage of scholars from the White Tower... Saint One revered knowledge, and the Sect had an incentive system that strongly encouraged its members to join the White Tower and become researchers.

Furthermore, with Saint One’s arrival in Miselux, many of the Reincarnation Church’s powerful members had followed him there.

This had caused the White Tower to become even more prosperous than before...

Now, it seemed the tide of people that had surged in had just as quickly receded, leaving the White Tower to appear somewhat deserted.

"Yuna."

Lu Cang appeared beside Yuna, who looked up.

"Lu Cang."

Lu Cang could feel a great surge in Yuna’s emotions, but she only paused for a moment before saying, "It’s been a while since I’ve seen you at the White Tower."
