“So…gentlemen, I look forward to our next reunion!”
At the very end, the founder of the gathering announced its termination, and many silver-faced people in black left from different directions. The reason they chose this place was its advantageous position, with an abandoned factory that was filled with drafts and was easy to escape.
“Let’s also leave!”
Su Lu followed behind Fatima, his face, covered by a mask, showing an ambiguous smile.
Most of the Transcendents present had their aura memorized by him.
If he encounters them again in the Mental Realm next time, he can verify the identity of these wild Transcendents and take advantage of them extravagantly.
He wondered if this would spawn a new urban myth among the Transcendent circle in Nia City… The Shadow Thief in dreams, it sounds quite impressive.
After stepping into the drain, Su Lu threw a bag of Golden Dragons to Fatima. “This is the reward I promised.”
“Thank you! Best of luck!”
Fatima examined her earnings, didn’t say much, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
“A good detective!”
Su Lu commented, then crawled out of the drain, quickly changed his clothes, and turned back into a wealthy young master. He found his coachman and returned to Dollyf Manor.
Night fell.
The clear moonlight filled the streets.
Su Lu let his Spiritual Body wander in reality for a bit, before quickly shifting into the second layer of the Spirit World.
In this world, all the architectural projections from the Illusory Spirit Realm disappeared, leaving only a pure ocean of consciousness.
Everyone’s mind connected here, forming different Secret Realms or isolated islands, it was very strange.
“Ordinary people! Ordinary people! Ordinary people!”
Su Lu quickly skimmed past the Secret Realms of ordinary people, avoiding the directions of the Church of Light and the Federal Eleventh Bureau, searching continuously within the range of Nia City.
Finally, an abrupt ‘isolated island’ floated into his view.
“Judging from the aura, it’s a wild Transcendent I have seen during the day…”
This was a [Spirit Medium]’s ability, its distinguishing feature is recognizing auras, only distinguishing between those seen and unseen.
“And looking at the size, it is around the second stage, a perfect target…”
Observing targets in the Mental Realm and gathering intel was Su Lu’s most used method; it was not only very accurate, but also incredibly concealed, he had never been discovered.
After identifying the target, he let his entire being fall into the Secret Realm.
Rumble!
The scenery around him changed, it seemed that he arrived at the mouth of a volcano.
His opponent, a second-stage Transcendent’s mind, launched an oppression against him.
It was a terrifying temperature that was spreading, affecting Su Lu’s Spiritual
Body.
“Roar!”
From the fiery mouth of the volcano, a rock-formed Flame Demon emerged, even gushing out a rolling magma.
“Defensive tactics of a monster type? It is indeed simple!”
Su Lu watched this scene and commented casually.
As a third-stage [Magician], he was not going to be defeated in the Mental Secret Realm of a second-stage Transcendent.
Of course, this Flame Demon was also quite strong.
If it was just about destroying, the difficulty wouldn’t be high, but the Heart Trick was equivalent to a complex and precise operation on a surgical knife, the requirements were quite high.
“Spirit oppression!”
Su Lu thought for a moment, firstly, there was Spirit oppression; a massive pressure was gathered by him into a beam and applied to the Flame Demon’s kneecap.
Crack!
The huge body of the Flame Demon suddenly shook, almost kneeling on the ground on one knee.
“Little darling, don’t be afraid, it’s just a minor surgery!”
Su Lu spread his right hand wide, reaching out to the Flame Demon.
Crack!
From the ground, chains that seemed ablaze with pale flames ceaselessly extended, splitting into five directions and firmly binding the Flame Demon.
“Roar!”
Despite its roars, it was unable to move a muscle.
Crack!
The thick stone on the Flame Demon’s chest was shattered, revealing a human skull.
“You unknown creature, your name, your origin…”
Su Lu’s hands were folded, intending to extract more information from the creature.
“Kings Patch…”
After breaking through the defense, this transcendent being completely opened its subconscious to Su Lu.
He informed Su Lu that he was part of a transcendent family, had inherited a professional legacy from his father, and became an elite of the second rank during the Dawn of the Gods.
“As for Kings himself, he’s the proprietor of a restaurant…His profession is [Immolator], an off-branch of [Apprentice], specialising in fire magic… Unfortunately, there is no third-rank legacy in this profession. This is the sorrow of many professionals…”
Not every professional path can be treaded till the end.
In fact, finding all paths blocked after reaching second rank is the norm for most people.
For this reason, Su Lu realised the importance of a fifth-rank inherited profession – it was something that lower-rank transcendents would die for.
Even he himself, due to a stroke of luck, obtained the legacy of a [Traveling Mage], albeit an incomplete one taken as a destination.
“Besides, the Demon Hunter legacy of the Pottery Family has lost its fifth-rank part, the Arcanist of the Inner Circle of the Green Tree Castle is not suitable for me, nor is it within my reach… The only thing left is the Necromancer’s legacy from the ‘Nameless Necromancer Book’ …”
On the ‘Nameless Necromancer Book’, there must be legendary professions, and perhaps even information about sixth-rank mythical professions.
To say Su Lu was not tempted would be a lie.
At least, it can be kept as a backup. Should he die one day, he might use it as a last resort.
“Speaking of which… it seems like I have a connection with the spirit world, as both [Spirit Medium] and [Necromancer] have deep ties with it…”
Su Lu gave a smile, stopped his thoughts, and looked at the dazed subconscious mind before him.
“Feels a bit exciting, like returning to Earth, playing a card-drawing game…”
He drew a blank magicians card with a meaningful expression, “Heart trick… seal!”
In his eyes, Kings’s subconscious mind suddenly became semi-transparent and turned into several differently-colored zones, each representing different areas.
Each area represented a ‘skill’ that could be extracted and sealed!
Of course, the more complex and high-ranking the skill, the harder it is to extract it and the higher the chances of failure. That was expected.
Next, the silver gleam which represented the Heart Trick invaded these colourful areas, covering a block of red light.
Tiny flames were drawn out and sealed into the trick card.
Seconds later, a brand-new card dropped from mid-air.
‘”Fireball Technique’? Its power is slightly less than a grenade’s explosion? This is the most classical fire-related magic that got extracted…”
Su Lu laughed, he didn’t care about being detected or anything else and proceeded with another extraction.
Pop!
The second magician card exploded directly in mid-air.
“That was a failure, let’s try again!”
Fortunately, despite one failure, all the other attempts were successful and Su Lu didn’t consume all his magician cards here.
Honestly, relying solely on a second-rank professional, there was no way to ‘charge’ more than twenty magician cards at once!
In the end, he only made five ‘spell cards’..
