Chapter 221: Chapter 147: Level 3 Warrior (3)

"Shall I help relieve your fatigue after your bath?"

Lu Cang stretched his neck and shoulders.

’Although I wasn’t injured, facing a Submerged Land Level Demon all day has left me feeling mentally exhausted.’

’That immense pressure, that profound sense of oppression... Even though I was well-protected, I still felt so insignificant.’

He sank into the tub. It was a medicinal bath.

But as soon as he sank in... Lu Cang suddenly remembered something.

’Wait a minute.’

’Outside my palace, beyond the city walls, could Lu Luwei be spying on me right now?’

"Yun Xi."

Lu Cang called out softly.

A knock came from outside the door.

"Come in."

"Master Lu Cang, you called for me."

"Does this residence have an array that can block perception?"

"Yes, it does," Yun Xi replied.

Lu Cang said, "Activate it."

"As you command."

Yun Xi turned and left.

Before long, Lu Cang felt a massive barrier rise around him, one that blocked perception.

’I don’t know if it can stop Lu Luwei’s perception, but it’s better than nothing. A fig leaf, at least.’

’The most important thing about raising this barrier is the message it sends: I don’t want to be watched. Stay away.’

’As for whether it’ll actually work...’

’That probably depends on whether or not Lu Luwei is a total creep.’

’Regardless, I have to get a better perception-blocking array tomorrow.’

After his bath, maids gently and carefully dried his body.

He slipped on a soft, silk robe and went into a room filled with the faint scent of incense.

He lay face down on the bed as two maids with gentle hands began to massage him.

As their slender hands pressed against his muscles and acupoints, Lu Cang could feel vitality flowing into him.

His entire body felt as light as a cloud.

’Lorren really is a great place.’

’Being one of the powerful elite in Lorren is a wonderful thing.’

’I made the right choice becoming one of the Lorren People.’

As his fatigue melted away, he quietly drifted off to sleep...

In his dream.

Lu Cang saw what looked like countless Elements rearranging themselves. Then, he saw the Root Source transform into Elements—his own Root Magic.

The Root Magic then transformed again.

Lu Cang felt as if he had entered the Void, looking down upon the world from a higher dimension. Then, in an instant, he seemed to step into another place entirely. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Here, Lu Cang saw a colossal particle of the Fire Element. ’No, is it just one particle?’ A voice in his mind seemed to tell him, ’This is all the Fire Element in the entire world.’

Then, he woke up.

His head felt groggy, and the details of his dream were already beginning to fade.

’It’s morning already.’

Lu Cang sat up in bed and rang the small bell beside him.

A knock soon followed.

He rang the bell again. The door opened, and maids entered, bringing him water and breakfast.

After finishing his breakfast in bed, he was dressed by his attendants.

He didn’t have to lift a finger for the entire process.

Today was the day to advance his Profession to Level 3 Warrior.

He had an appointment with Kumironi.

He wouldn’t have to go through the promotion in secret this time. Lu Cang was curious to see what kind of phenomenon his advancement would cause.

’Counting the Level 3 Warrior Profession...’

’I’ll have a total of ten Divine Talents.’

’Heh. Even though my highest Level isn’t 100...’

’As long as I have enough Professions, reaching a total of 100 Levels doesn’t seem to be a problem.’

’Getting 100 Divine Talents... it might actually be possible.’

’I just need to raise eleven Professions to Level 9.’

’And then just pick up one more at Level 1. That should be enough.’

「Promotion Hall」

Lu Cang arrived at the Promotion Hall as scheduled, and Kumironi was already there.

There was hardly anyone else in the Promotion Hall.

After Kumironi presented his credentials, he was given charge of presiding over the promotion Ritual.

’I’ve gone through so many Profession promotions,’ Lu Cang thought to himself. ’By now, I probably understand them better than most people in the world.’
