Chapter 222: Chapter 148: Divine Level Ten Thousand Battles Absolute Body

The tests for promotion... they’re all just a facade.

The greatest test...

In reality, the real test is whether you’ve mastered what’s most crucial for this stage.

And that is... Extreme Battle Intent.

’My Extreme Battle Intent.’

Lu Cang stood in the very center of the field as a faint aura spread out from him.

The crowd of onlookers had already gathered.

Even on such a cold day, there were still plenty of people who loved a good spectacle.

WHOOSH—

His Dual Battle Intent unfurled.

The thought that Lu Cang was invincible bloomed in the minds of everyone present.

Unyielding Heart.

Battle Technique All Transformations.

The two Extreme Intents melded together.

In front of Lu Cang, a dummy rose up.

Lu Cang just stood there, not moving an inch.

And yet, Magic had already roared out!

"Magic?"

"Isn’t he undergoing a promotion for the Warrior profession?"

"Using Magic during a Warrior’s promotion! Isn’t this blasphemy against the Warrior’s code!"

"Promoting in multiple professions is already extremely difficult. Why is he provoking the code on top of that!"

"Does he want to suffer a backlash from the code?!"

A backlash from the code was an extremely rare event.

Most people, after taking on a Profession, would abide by its code.

Even if they eventually discovered the code clashed with their own worldview, they would just let it slide and stop trying to promote.

And even if they did try to promote, they would at least put on a show of upholding the code.

No one would ever be so brazen, openly mocking the system during their own Profession promotion Ritual, basically declaring they had no intention of following the damn code.

Lu Cang’s use of Magic during a Warrior promotion was, at this very moment, a clear act of blasphemy.

And the consequence for such an act was, in all likelihood, a backlash!

Perhaps he would lose all his Professional Mastery, or even the power his Profession inherently possessed.

BOOM!

However, the Magic blasted past!

The dummy before him was instantly blown into countless fragments.

The unleashed Wind Blade transformed into countless blade shadows!

Slicing Blade Stream—Thousand Blade Slash (Level 301)

Battle Staff Stream, Slicing Blade Stream, Basic Fist Stream, Anger Kick Stream... these were all the most basic of Combat Skill Schools.

If a Warrior couldn’t obtain a good Combat Skill legacy, their only option was to buy these basic schools from a shop.

They were basic, but in a real fight, they were still quite effective.

However, the average Warrior only had enough energy to train in a single school, so most tried their best to find a good one.

Unlike Lu Cang, who learned them instantly.

He had basically learned a bit of everything, raising every single Combat Skill School to Skill Level 301.

It would be no exaggeration to say he had elevated the original schools to a higher plane.

A dozen or so spells swept past.

The dummy was now covered in fist imprints and blade wounds, looking as if it had been kicked repeatedly in mid-air.

CRACK!

With a crisp sound.

The entire dummy shattered under Lu Cang’s combination of Combat Skills.

Afterward.

Lu Cang held out his hand.

A bone reeking of a black, foul aura appeared in Lu Cang’s palm, along with a single scale.

Now it was time to present the results of his battles.

Lu Cang thought for a moment. He decided to submit proof from a kill he’d made with Combat Skills, and from a Lord of the Sixth Level Nest Cave he had insta-killed by draining its soul.

The code of combat only requires battle and killing, and isn’t limited to any specific method. ’But does directly draining a soul count as combat?’ Lu Cang felt that was a bit of a stretch, so he decided to submit proof from another, safer kill as well.

’A Level 2 Warrior killing a Tier Six King Level Demon... that should satisfy the code, right?’

Plus, considering all the battles he’d been through, Lu Cang felt he had hardly been slacking.

The two materials were taken and vanished.

Every time he had to hand over proof, Lu Cang couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart.

’The things I have to turn in are always my best stuff...’

HUMMM—

Following the disappearance of countless points of light.

Lu Cang felt an extremely satisfying feedback.

Having gone through many promotions, Lu Cang already knew this was a perfect promotion.

However, at the same time the promotion completed...

Lu Cang also clearly saw countless tadpole-like black substances pouring down from the sky.

They rushed madly toward him!

’They want to burrow into my body. Judging by the eyes of the ordinary people around, it seems they can’t see these things...’

’Can they only be seen by those with high enough Spirituality?’

At this moment, Kumironi also took out an emerald-green staff.

TING—

A jade-green barrier formed around Lu Cang, and all the filth that approached his body melted away like ice and snow.

"Sister Kumironi, were there this many last time?"

Kumironi met Lu Cang’s gaze.

"You can see them?"

"Yeah, I can see them this time."

"No. There are far more than last time."

"For an ordinary person who awakens ahead of schedule, there would only be a dozen or so."

Kumironi stretched out her hand and waved.

A jade-colored Technique unfolded. This Technique was completely different from the Magic Lu Cang knew.

If he had just transmigrated, he might not have been able to tell the difference between the two.

But now that he had a deep understanding of the system of Magic...

he realized they were two completely different things.

’It’s like Japanese and Korean from my past life.’

Lu Cang vaguely remembered how when he was a child, he couldn’t tell the difference between Japanese and Korean at all. Only after growing up did he gradually learn to distinguish them.

HUMMM—

A square Technique appeared above and below, forming a rotating rectangular prism of light that enveloped the entire Promotion Hall.

All the black filth pouring into the Promotion Hall was dissolved the moment it rushed into the light screen.

Kumironi was exceptionally serious this time.

This ferocious assault didn’t last long. After a mere dozen seconds, the strange phenomenon in the sky had already vanished.
