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

Chapter 114 100th Floor

Learn so that you can apply what you learn.

Once you've learned something, applying what you've learned brings new insights.

The process of becoming a monk has truly been very rewarding.

As Lu Cang fought his way up, he also experimented along the way, putting his ideas into practice.

This should also be considered a way of tracing the roots.

After defeating all fifteen king-level monsters, Lu Cang put his hands in his pockets.

The staff has already been retrieved.

I currently have many killer moves. I can use the Instant White Flash to directly penetrate the body, and then transform the Instant White Flash into other more powerful spells to explode inside the enemy's body.

This is my most frequently used and most effective killing method.

Extremely difficult to defend against.

The only thing I'm afraid of is shields.

However, there are now ways to break shields.

In addition, there is the Root Magic stolen from Xu Zhou, Void Devouring, which is both offensive and defensive. It can both kill and devour other people's skills for defense.

Furthermore, there are death spells, which directly attack the enemy's soul and spirit.

And with the sacrifices... now even souls are plentiful.

At the same time, there are also summoned creatures from the void, an endless number of Tier 4 nation-destroying level beings fighting for him.

Lu Cang didn't know what the limit of his current strength was, but he felt that even if he faced a level 5 adventurer, he should not be afraid. In fact, he might even be able to fight an entire level 5 adventurer team.

They've already caught up with Iz and the others so quickly.

Lu Cang remembered that when he first met Izzy, they were also level 5. Now he was able to defeat level 5 monsters, so his strength should exceed that of an ordinary level 5 job changer.

Having reached this level of strength, Lu Cang seemed to understand Iz and the others' mindset.

No wonder they dared to challenge a level 7 dungeon.

If I were to reach level 5, I might have the confidence to challenge level 7 dungeons.

Moreover, it's even gotten a bit bloated now.

I felt I could take on the challenge one-on-one, but Izzy and the others still had to break through at the last minute.

No... we can't think of it that way. After all, it's said that the higher the rank, the greater the difference between each rank.

Continue to the 92nd floor.

It's still a Tier 5 Monarch-level monster, but the difference is in the number and the individual strength of these monsters, which are significantly stronger than those on floor 91.

However, he was ultimately no match for himself.

……

Without summons, it might indeed be a bit tricky to deal with 20 king-level monsters at the same time. I don't know if my shield can hold up.

But after they acquired summoned creatures, they all went off to fight with them.

It's very comfortable to let Lu Cang deal damage from the shadows.

Indeed, fighting alone and fighting in a group are completely different things.

Unfortunately, these guys are just too big.

If you let them explore small dungeons, it feels like they can't really move around in the cramped space.

92 floors.

93 floors.

94 floors.

……

Starting from the 90th floor, the ascent speed did slow down considerably, since these king-level monsters were indeed quite tough to kill.

Moreover, each has its own unique characteristics.

Floor 97 - Cleared.

……

"Ninety-seventh floor!"

"Do you think he'll be able to clear the hundredth floor?"

"That's quite possible. Judging from his speed in clearing the levels, he'll probably handle all ninety-plus levels with ease."

"If that's the case, he might become another guy to clear all 100 floors after Luluwei..."

"As expected of a mage who has grasped the essence, he is truly different."

"Rumor has it that his talent even surpasses Izparut's; back in Raine Town, even Izparut lost to him..."

"Really? That Iz?"

"Yes, I also heard that this little guy named Lu Cang has signed up for this year's War God Cup."

"The War God Cup? Isn't this year's Level 4 group? Is he going to participate too?" As he asked this question, the passerby also glanced at the War God Tower.

This War God Tower is definitely aiming for level 3.

"Is he going to become a level 4 mage so soon? I heard that these Root Mages need to prepare for their advancement for quite a while, right?"

"Nonsense, others wouldn't get promoted as easily as we do!"

"But the War God Cup will definitely still have to be fought. You don't know this, but I heard that Lu Cang once boasted that Luluwei is no match for him and that he would beat Luluwei, who is of a higher level."

Hearing what these people were talking about, the girl carrying the bow twitched her slightly pointed ears.

They looked up at the towering pagoda that seemed to pierce the clouds.

His fist clenched involuntarily.

"Tch, you beat Luluwei out of your level? Looks like you've really been underestimated."

He has fought 5000 battles against countless races and has yet to suffer a single defeat.

Today, I was actually told I'd be beaten down by a level 3 kid.

It seems we really need to teach him a lesson; he'll learn that there's always someone better.

"But tell me, how come so many incredibly powerful individuals have come to our Kingdom of Loren?"

"Does this mean we, Loren, are going to dominate the world?"

"What dominance? People come here for travel and training, they'll leave after a while. Do you think you can stay on your turf and be a tyrant forever?"

"But it's strange... Iz and the others are quite famous throughout the entire Secret Sea, so why did they all come to Loren? Does Loren have some treasure that they're interested in?"

"Who knows? When these important figures gather together, something big is bound to happen. I just hope it won't affect us ordinary folks."

……

Tower of War - 100 Floors

Upon reaching the hundredth floor, Lu Cang casually scattered numerous corpses.

The corpse was sealed inside the ice bee and shot in all directions.

There are about 70,000 to 80,000 monster corpses stored in the storage space.

The corpses scattered across the ground allowed him to freely cast "Death Exchange (Tier 2) (LV: 301)".

This is the upgrade spell for "Death Substitute".

The "Death Swap" spell no longer just swaps bodies before damage is taken, but swaps them the instant damage is taken, transferring the damage to the body and making it bear the brunt of the damage.

The fault tolerance rate has been improved, and the trigger range, the number of consecutive uses of the corpse, and the minimum usable volume of the corpse have also been improved.

In addition, there is a most valuable qualitative leap.

That is... finally, we don't have to use the corpses we killed anymore; now we can use any corpse.

However, the consumption also increased.

"Death Replacement" only requires one soul with at least the same spirituality as oneself, but triggering "Death Exchange" requires three.

The previous 99 floors.

The highest-ranking monsters were only Tier 5 King-level, but by the 99th floor, their numbers had increased to 100...

They completely outnumbered their own summoned creatures.

Lu Cang had no choice but to use "Source of All Laws" to summon eighty stronger void summons, which, combined with the original 20, brought him to a match with the enemy's numbers.

Then came the division of labor, and the task of defeating them one by one.

The battle was so fierce that more than a dozen Void Summonings died.

However, almost simultaneously after these summoned creatures were killed, Lu Cang summoned a new one.

They can never be killed.

If the other side were truly a nation, facing an offensive like Lu Cang's... one can only imagine the despair they would feel.

I killed one with all my might, and there are still ninety-nine left.

And after killing one, a new one would appear in an instant.

The summoning of "Source: Awakening the Void" does not require magic power to maintain, and no further magic power will be consumed after the summoning is completed.

Unlike the "Awaken the Void" spell itself, which requires continuous mana consumption after summoning, it does not.

This is also the perpetual nature of its own origin magic.

However, Lu Cang really didn't care about the consumption of that little bit of magic power.

"I wonder what level a true summoner is at..."

The Summoner class seems to be able to summon not only through magic, but also through various rituals and contracts, and the bonuses to the summoned creatures are also more numerous.

……

Although there were many enemies on the 99th floor, it was still a relatively safe journey.

Lu Cang reached the 100th floor with ease.

at last.

This is the last floor.

Is this... a fifth-tier, nation-destroying level demon?
The 100th floor is no longer a wilderness or forest suitable for fierce battles.

Lu Cang was standing on a cliff.

Looking down, it was a... living city.

The flesh was writhing, the blood was flowing, and the blood vessels and meridians of the city could be seen. Countless flesh and blood transformed into tentacles, spreading and extending towards the earth.

A fifth-tier, nation-destroying level demon.

Rather than saying it was the destruction of a country, it's more accurate to say...

It is a vast city in itself.

Even standing on a high cliff overlooking the wilderness, it was a city of flesh and blood stretching as far as the eye could see.

Compared to the enormous, nation-destroying monster he summoned.

They seemed so small.

If one were to describe their void summon as an Oriental Pearl Tower, it would be a giant.

The monster before them was the entire city of Shanghai.

It's a giant city!
The difference in their physiques cannot be described simply as vast.

Now I understand why there isn't a fifth-tier nation-destroying level after the fourth-tier. The difference is truly enormous.

But I've heard that the upper limit for Tier 5 is not limited to that... There is another level above Tier 5 monsters, the Landslide level.

As its name suggests, it can sink an entire continent.

It seems that for each level of monster, there is an additional higher grade.

However, after reaching level 6, there is no record of this in the monster encyclopedia.

It's unclear whether this is truly the end, or... perhaps no one has ever seen it, which is why there's no record of it.

"Are we going to destroy all of these huge monsters...?"

Lu Cang made a gesture on the cliff.

It's too big.

Is it as big as a city in a circle?
Even if it's not there, it's probably close enough.

There must be a vital organ, like the heart.

Most flesh-and-blood monsters possess abilities such as regeneration and recovery, so simply cutting down their flesh and blood probably won't be very effective.

Lu Cang began to analyze the situation in his mind.

Winning with your brain, not just with numbers, is the difference between humans and monsters.

The month is associated with war and fire; fire magic is far more powerful than ordinary magic, so a sea of fire could be considered…

Souls, 320.46 million...

With so many souls, there might be a way to completely destroy it.

But this is a poor choice; we should consider it as a last resort.

Although souls are easy to obtain now, Lu Cang does not intend to spend all of them at once.

"Let's try this trick first..."

Lu Cang held his staff and raised it towards the distant City of Flesh and Blood.

This staff can greatly increase the casting range, far surpassing the previous 5-gold staff.

"A distant gaze upon the dawn"

Quality: Top Grade

"Spellcasting elemental damage increase 100%"

"Special: Moderately increases the maximum casting range of spells (activated for level 1 mages)"

"Special Feature 2: Significantly increases the maximum casting range of spells (activated for level 2 mages)"

"Special Feature 3: Greatly increases the maximum casting range of spells (activated for level 3 mages)"

"Special Enchantment Effect: Spell Coverage Increased (Greatly)"

……

This staff increases the maximum range of my spellcasting to 15 kilometers.

"Soul-Tearing and Spirit-Stealing (Tier 4)"

A direct attack on the soul!

Since the opponent is a creature of flesh and blood, their soul might be their weakness; a strong body may mean a fragile soul.

"Uh-"

However, after this move was made, Lu Cang saw a pale light appearing and disappearing over the entire city!

But it didn't bring up any soul!

All that could be heard was a bloodcurdling scream from within the city!

next moment!
Whoosh!
Swoosh! ...

Throughout the city, the flesh and blood seemed to contract and erupt like cannons!
It shot towards him like a volcanic eruption!
"Tsk."

"are you angry?"

Lu Cang flew away from the cliff at an extremely fast speed!

That is, less than two seconds after escaping the cliff—

boom!
Boom boom boom boom boom——

One after another, mountains of flesh and blood crashed down in that direction!

After the flesh and blood exploded, many skeletal monsters flew out.

It also comes with a summoning feature?

Swish!
The arrow flew towards him.

when!
It struck its own outer shield and was directly blocked by the water shield.

"Arcane Magic: Spellcaster (Tier 4) (LV: 301)"

The prototype of this spell is the third-tier Mage's Hand, an arcane spell.

It's like an extra pair of hands, very flexible.

In reality, it has no offensive or killing capabilities.

However, the difficulty of releasing it is at the third level.

The rank of a spell does not necessarily mean that the higher the rank, the greater the power or strength; it may simply mean that the spell is more difficult.

After this spell was upgraded, the hand became stronger and more powerful, and the control became more flexible, allowing it to extend further, up to any distance within one kilometer.

Lu Cang held the arrow in his "magic hand".

Two authentication scrolls were used.

Bone arrows, laced with blood poison.

Poisoning can cause scurvy, requiring treatment with hemostatic agents.

This monster... has quite a few moves.

Now that they were getting closer, Lu Cang put on a pair of glasses.

"Observation Mirror"

A masterpiece by a mechanic and an enchanter, priced at 2 gold coins.

It can observe the potential weaknesses of monsters, thus fulfilling some of the functions of an observer.

It's just not as comprehensive as a true observer.

It requires the infusion of magic power to be used, and it will overheat if used for a long time.

It's expensive and has many restrictions.

However, the ability to see weaknesses alone means its value will not be low.

Lu Cang glanced at it quickly and saw many frames popping up on the lens.

It seems like they're doing some kind of analysis.

The mechanic's masterpiece is truly technologically advanced.

In this world of swords and magic, technology is also so ingenious... However, there are very few mechanics on the continent of Ruilun, and they do not revere technology. Lu Cang has hardly seen any so far.

It seems that this continent lacks the environment for mechanics to advance.

Swish!
During the flight, thousands of blood-red whips also chased after him.

The "Buzzing Hunter," which accompanied him in flight, cleared a path directly with its double blades!
Double-edged sword slashed through!

In an instant, it severed all the goose intestine-like flesh and blood whips!
however--

These long whips of flesh and blood, falling like raindrops, were actually regenerated in mid-air after being severed!

One of the long whips struck the Buzzing Hunter and instantly grew in size, wrapping around its entire body.

They tied it up on the spot!
Flesh and blood squeezed together!
puff!
They actually killed the "Buzzing Hunter".

They are truly... not to be underestimated.

What was initially thought to be a probing attack that could be ignored turned out to be a deadly trap.

A Tier 5 monster capable of destroying entire nations, it should not be underestimated.

Lu Cang's shield was already fully activated.

As for the corpses... they were simply thrown along the way, wherever they landed, regardless of how the other side dealt with them.

In short, prepare beforehand.

"weakness……"

Plop--plop--plop--

Lu Cang saw several locations in the city that were like a pulsating heart.

That feels like a weakness.

But at first glance, it doesn't appear to be a real weakness.

Is it actually deceptive?
What would happen if I injected that heart?

Lu Cang made his own guess, but in the end he didn't do it.

It's best not to attack things that others deliberately expose as weaknesses to exploit...

His gaze swept back and forth.

Finally, Lu Cang spotted an inconspicuous blood vessel, which, like a water pipe, led along with other blood vessels into the depths of the city.

"Weakness - Aorta"

found it.

Lu Cang raised his staff—

These blood vessels won't escape. Although they are a weakness, their defenses are probably not that simple. The toughness and hardness of this flesh are actually quite high.

A flash of white light may not be able to penetrate directly.

Colorful "source" coalesced at the tip of Lu Cang's staff.

Whoosh!
Almost instantly, the white flash arrived in front of the blood vessel, and the moment it hit the outer wall of the blood vessel, a change occurred!

"Source - Penetrating Ice Crystal (Tier 3) (LV: 301)"

click -

A layer of frost bursts forth on the outer layer of the blood vessel.

At the same time, a stab of ice pierced directly through its outer skin and into its interior.

This magic primarily focuses on penetration.

It can penetrate the hard-to-break outer layer and directly condense ice to reach the interior.

However, there is one prerequisite: the interior cannot be solid.

It must be either a liquid or air.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for ice crystals to form directly inside and penetrate through.

Ice crystals through—

The ice crystals that penetrated to the interior underwent another change.

"Source Implosion (Tier 2) (LV: 301) - Sacrifice: 200,000 souls"
