Transcendent Dawn

Chapter 109: Soldier (A tribute to league leader Lati, the origin of Assassin Chili strips! Please subscribe!)

Outside the training grounds.

Su Lu was about to start exercising when a woman approached him.

She appeared to be in her twenties, very attractive, with a hint of a smile on her cherry-like lips: “Hello…l’m Jessila!”

“Hello!”

Su Lu asked with curiosity, “May I ask…do you need something?”

“Su Lu Pottery, hail from Gusta State, graduated from St. George’s University…

I have read your resume, quite impressive!” Jessila said with a teasing smile, “Would you be interested in working for me?”

‘This woman… Is she out of her mind?’

Su Lu’s expression instantly turned cold: “Not interested!”

“I know… you invented the telegram, quite impressive! However… in the Inner Circle, throughout history, there have been countless people like you. Do you know what became of them?”

Jessila licked her lips, “In the electrotechnic sect of the Inner Circle, Sir Watt is the leader, followed by Sir Spa, and then my mentor— Lady AshaGael! You need friends, friends with taste and status, it will bring you a step closer to glory and wealth…”

“Why do I feel… like you’re threatening me?”

Su Lu, impatient, waved his hand dismissively, “Regardless of who sent you, or what your goals are, I refuse!”

Having said that, he headed into the training ground without looking back, ready to exercise.

The prospects of telegrams would surely attract envy, a possibility he had foreseen long ago.

Whether it’s Orchi from earlier or Jessila right now, it’s all the same.

Moreover, he even suspected that the two of them were colluding, one adopting intimidation, the other offering enticement.

No evidence was required, just reasoning!

“You will regret this!”

Upon seeing this, Jessila stomped her foot in indignation and turned to leave.

As her back was facing Su Lu, the corners of her mouth curved upwards again, forming a faint subtle smile.

“I only have three months to adapt to the Inner Circle, time is running out!” In the training ground, Su Lu threw a hard punch at a mannequin.

He swung this punch following a special training method, activating every muscle and skin in his body, and felt a surge of power rising from the ground beneath him, passing through his waist, shoulders, arm… and finally joining his fist.

Thump!

With just one punch, the mannequin instantaneously produced an unbearable sound, leaving a distinct imprint of the fist.

“Once more!”

Su Lu wiped his sweat and had the coach hold onto the mannequin target. He continued to exert force.

Thump!

‘Orchi, Jessila, Spa, Asha!… It appears that there is no peace in the electrotechnic sector of the Inner Circle!’

‘More crucially, I’m already involved, and it’s beyond my control!’

‘To break free from this influence, either I must completely step away or… find a more powerful mentor.’

Su Lu sensed the undercurrent within the Inner Circle. Unfortunately, Sleydon Watt, the ninth seat, wouldn’t accept him. Otherwise, Jessila and Orchi… they certainly wouldn’t dare to be so brazen.

‘The Inner Circle took me in because they think I have value. I have been concentrating on my own matters recently without any new research achievements, which has caused some dissatisfaction among the higher- ups?’

‘The solution to the situation is simple. Just put forward some pioneering research results!’

‘As for Jessila and Orchi, they are merely clowns parading on the open stage!’ Thump, thump!

Su Lu had continuous thoughts flowing, ‘Anyone who dares to stand in my way, I’ll smash them open with one punch!’

Thump!

His blood was boiling with enthusiasm, and he threw yet another punch.

As he threw this punch, Su Lu felt like he had broken through some kind of shackles, with every cell in his body rejoicing simultaneously.

The instructor facing him screamed, then was flung backwards. Meanwhile, the puppet actually divided itself into two, breaking into two halves!

“Huh huh….”

Su Lu was sweating all over, white steam rising from his body, he looked at the attribute bar joyfully:

[Ding! Through rigorous training, you have broken the human limit and taken up the Soldier profession!]

[Took up the Soldier’s job! Strength +0.5! Gained passive skill: Robust!]

“I finally took the [Soldier] profession and I didn’t rely on experience points for the breakthrough; it’s all my own training!”

Sensing a surge of power in his body, Su Lu couldn’t help but clench his fists.

[Soldier] was a physical class of Transcendent professions, completely different from the feeling of [Spirit Medium] before. He felt as if his body had broken free from some kind of constraint.

In Su Lu’s perception, it was as if he had unlocked his ‘gene lock’, and his entire body was undergoing an evolution.

“Congratulations! You are now a [Soldier]!”

The coach walked over to congratulate him.

He was a Transcendent himself, and the reason he was knocked back previously was just due to his inattentiveness.

Looking at Su Lu at this moment, he felt a bit emotional.

[Soldier] and [Apprentice] are the two most common and promising professions, but in the Inner Circle, [Apprentices] were obviously given more attention.

Unexpectedly, this newcomer threw himself headlong into the [Soldier] profession, and he faintly perceived the dissatisfaction among the higher-ups.

However, the fact that the other party could break through so quickly was indeed beyond his expectation. Does he have a special talent after all?

“Thank you!”

Su Lu politely thanked him, went into the shower, turned on the showerhead, and let the hot water splash down on him freely.

‘Could my breakthrough be because of my high original strength and physique, good foundation perhaps?’

‘Of course, the superior conditions in the Inner Circle also played an indispensable role.’

‘Anyhow, I finally managed to take up a dual profession, and didn’t have to rely on experience points, which validated some of my previous thoughts.’

Su Lu looked at his attribute bar:

Name: [Su Lu Pottery]

Profession: [Mystical Scholar] (2nd rank), [Soldier] (1st rank)

Title: [None]

Strength: [2.2], Agility: [1.3], Constitution: [2.2], Spirit: [4.2]

Inspiration: [4.2]

Skills: [Creation of Dead Princess LVI], [Maga fighting Skills LV5], [Soul

Trance LV4], [Spirit Oppression LV2], [Spirit Thorn LV3], [Marvelous Item

Creation LVI]

Passive: [Common Hebrew LV3], [Basic Physics LV5], [Demon Hunting

XP: [30]

[Strong: As the owner of a robust body, you are immune to most diseases and your recovery speed is increased! Current level LVI!]

“As expected… the professional rank is calculated based on the highest profession.”

“And indeed, [Soldier] is tough. It only gave me 0.5 attribute points and a seemingly insignificant passive skill… Is this the penalty for taking multiple jobs?”

Su Lu knew early on that one could not take too many jobs at the same time and even if he controlled his additional professions, there would still be some conflicts.

His promotion to [Soldier] this time only increased his strength by 0.5, which might be due to his already high original attributes, but it could also have been affected by him taking on another job!

“It seems… I need to be more careful about this in the future. And the best way to overcome this issue is through special job merging!”

Su Lu originally had a slight inclination towards the [Magician] path; after finding the path of the [Dimensional Walker] in the Green Tree Castle, he became even more certain of this.

The past [Dream Masters] were stuck at the fourth stage forever, unable to progress further, only because they didn’t know the prerequisite for holding multiple jobs — [Dimensional Walker]!

But this secret had long been decoded in his attribute bar..
