Chapter 437: Chapter 0437: Decision

“Guardian of the White Eagle Federation? Could it be referring to… the founding fathers from the past?”

Su Lu was slightly surprised.

“Exactly…Those sages were once the strongest of the sixth level, and you are becoming their reserves.”

Dunstan said, “Once you become the Guardian of the White Eagle Federation, you not only gain immense power in the Federation but are also fostered with maximum effort. No matter what resources or heritage you need, the Federation will try its best to find them for you. Being recommended as a reserve guardian shows that Arsen sees great potential in you, or else even if you saved him, he wouldn’t have offered this… This reserve position is only open to fifth-level professionals, it’s almost a predetermined sixth-level!” freёweɓnovel.com

“With such power must come an equivalent obligation, right?” Su Lu asked calmly, unexcited.

“Yes.”

Dunstan was slightly puzzled at his reaction.

After all, the sages of the White Eagle Federation were practically idolized, holding an unassailable position in the Federation.

Any Federation citizen should be immensely proud to have the opportunity to become such a guardian.

Moreover, becoming a reserve and having the support of a Federation would significantly increase their chances and stability of promotion to the sixth level, a temptation no occupational person could resist!

What he didn’t know was that Su Lu, being from another world, didn’t care much for these honors. With his Golden Finger and terrifying reserve of experience points, not just the sixth level, but even the seventh level seemed reachable.

With such a trump card, of course, he wouldn’t be swayed by the Federation’s attempts to win him over. Moreover, this would undoubtedly come with restrictions.

“As a Guardian of the Federation, you naturally have to swear to maintain the interests of the Federation… You would have to take an oath on a remarkable item that starts with ‘X’. This oath is very binding!”

Dunstan, after his moment of confusion, explained slowly.

“I don’t like being restricted, nor do I want to be tied to the Federation’s rise and fall.” Su Lu shrugged, “So I refuse!”

“You…” Irin and Celsus looked at Su Lu in surprise.

Although they too had some aversion to the Federation’s proceedings, the benefits of becoming a guardian far outweighed the oath to protect the Federation. They were surprised that Su Lu didn’t want to be constrained at all.

“If there is nothing else, that would be all…”

Su Lu stood up, smiling.

This was the advantage of having a choice.

If the Federation dared to coerce him, he could just run away to the Chris Empire.

If this world no longer had a place for him, he could run to another world. With freedom of choice, he wouldn’t be trapped or forced.

“Alright, I will relay your wishes to the Federation. Everything is voluntary.”

A hint of a smile seemed to be hidden in Dunstan’s eyes as he slowly agreed.

…

“The key to the sixth level is the condensation of the Mythical Body, which is a further evolution than the [Wandering Mage]… More precisely, it is laying the foundation for future immortality…”

After returning to the villa, Su Lu prepared for the breakthrough to the sixth level.

He had made up his mind to follow the path of the [Spirit Mage]!

The other two options, whether it be the [Void Demon] or the [Illusionist], both gave him an ominous feeling.

The former involved demons, while the latter was most likely related to Shewinado, and these two entities were almost from the same force now!

If he chose this path, he would likely get tangled with these two entities in the future.

“And judging from the speculation about the seventh level, although the [Spirit Mage] seems standard, exploring the mystery of the ancient spirit realm is hardly ordinary…”

The Spirit Realm!

Su Lu was very interested in this.

The essence of the [Spirit Medium] was also to pursue the mysteries of the spirit world, but the lower-rank professions of this path simply revolved around the three layers of the spirit world that belonged to this world.

Only by breaking through to the fourth layer, the Realm of All Spirits, one could truly come into contact with the real face of the ancient spirit world.

It was vast, great, and mysterious, seeming to cover everything!

Su Lu even vaguely knew that there was a fifth layer of spirit realm above the fourth layer!

The exploration of the spirit world was maybe just beginning with the Realm of All Spirits, and even divine beings may not be able to reach its end.

Su Lu was always curious about this final mystery.

“From this level, perhaps the [Spirit Mage] is the original intention of the [Spirit Medium] path…”

Having decided, Su Lu no longer hesitated: “Switch jobs to [Apprentice]!”

With his current attributes at the fifth level, he could definitely meet the demands of most first-level jobs, and the consumption of experience points was trivial.

In just a moment, a ‘Transcendent Baptism’ much weaker than the previous ones was completed, and Su Lu hardly felt a thing.

He looked at his attribute column and saw the latest information:

[Ding! Job switch successful!]

[Switched to Apprentice! Acquired passive ability: Keen Eyes and Nimble Hands!]

And then there was nothing.

“Did it… not increase any attributes? Even according to the job-switching discount law, this is only my third profession, right?”

Su Lu furrowed his brows.

But with his current mysterious knowledge, he quickly understood: “It’s probably because my four attributes are too high, which makes each subsequent increase more difficult… so now, the Transcendent Baptism of switching to a first-level job barely had any effect.”

“And it seems that there’s another rule, in choosing a professional path, initial professions cannot overlap…”

This meant initial first-level professions could not be switched to more than once.

For example, Suarez, even though he had already been promoted from [Fighter], he could never switch to the [Fighter] profession again!

It was the same for [Apprentice] and [Spirit Medium].

Even if he had previously promoted from [Wanderer] and wanted to promote from [Fighter] to a second-level [Warrior] this time, he would not be able to switch to the [Fighter] profession again because he already had the [Wanderer] profession!

“It feels… like a jigsaw puzzle, different initial professions represent different abilities, or different rules… Promotion is the constant refinement of the initial rules, and job switching is the integration of different rules into one. So… what would be at the end of a professional path?”

Su Lu’s eyes sparkled slightly, undeterred by the consumption of experience points, he quickly leveled up.

[Switched to Law Toucher! Acquired passive ability: Casting Specialty!]

[Switched to Mage! Acquired passive ability: Fast Casting!]

[Switched to Black Robe Mage! Spirit+1! Acquired passive ability: Affinity for Darkness!]

…

In just one night, Su Lu jumped straight to the fourth level and became a [Black Robe Mage], which was incredible.

But for him, it just consumed about ten thousand experience points to increase his professional rank and passive skill level.

“The Mage’s spell template needs to be learned by myself… Apart from that, the [Black Robe Mage]’s Affinity for Darkness is also very important. One of the requirements of switching to [Erosion Mage] is reaching LV8 in Affinity for Darkness, which is a prerequisite for the creation of ‘Erosion Fire’.”
