Chapter 169 - 0169: Third Order (Extra 4200, 5 updates per night, asking for monthly tickets)
Late into the night, a glum-faced Rafael came back
The moment he returned, many professionals who were merely pretending to sleep by the tree stumps opened their eyes, their eyes were fixed on this leader of the Ten-fist Association.
“It’s already settled. We attack at noon tomorrow. We can enter Silent Forest, but we can’t approach the ancient mansion… Of course, if anything happens later, they won’t care.”
Rafael casually sat down in front of the fire pit, speaking in a low voice.
‘Not being able to approach the ancient mansion means there’s not much danger… Conversely, there’s not much to gain either!’
Su Lu looked at the chairman with amusement, ‘In other words, we’ve been alienated from the circle?’
Thinking back, the church and the federation, such huge entities, might even look down on the Blood Brotherhood, let alone smaller organizations like the Ten -fist Association.
However, because of this, the danger has considerably decreased.
‘All in all, it’s neither good nor bad. It’s not stated that as transcendent individuals we can’t approach the ancient mansion, as long as we’re not afraid of attacks, or being used as cannon fodder.’
Su Lu shaded his face with his hat, pretending to sleep.
The color of the bonfire fluctuated between bright and dim, and the surrounding professionals gradually quieted down.
In the darkness.
Su Lu performed a soul trance and entered the second layer of the mental realm.
In an instant, he saw many large and small mental secret realm islands around him.
The closer to Silent Forest, the more such secret realms were, and the number of people was astonishing.
More importantly, it seemed that there was a vortex hidden at their core.
“A vortex-like mental secret realm, this is because the bodily form is too large, affecting the ocean of consciousness… it’s a fourth-level master professional!” Using spiritual realm scouting, Su Lu quickly obtained rich information.
“Angus Gold… Angus Gold… ‘
Just then, a summons suddenly came from afar.
He looked up and his pupils contracted.
He saw a broken ancient mansion standing proudly in the mental realm, almost identical to the one in the real world.
“The body of the demon mansion is hidden in the spiritual realm?”
Su Lu gradually enlightened: “No wonder it can open the spiritual realm… connecting and bringing in all kinds of forces.” All at once.
The scene in front of him changed again.
Many mental secret realms disappeared, the Ocean of Consciousness surged, forming a huge whirlpool!
Through the vortex, Su Lu seemed to see a beautiful young girl, watching over him with frigid, emotionless eyes.
“It’s Beryl… she’s starting!”
A terrifying suction force acted upon Su Lu.
Even through the master-servant contract, he still felt the suppression of rank.
“At this moment, Beryl at least surpasses me by two ranks. Once she pulls into the vortex where her real body is located, I’m doomed!”
Because of the distance, the other party projected power remotely, giving Su Lu a brief moment to react.
“Has Beryl already advanced to the fourth rank?”
Su Lu’s expression was very calm. In front of him the attribute panel appeared: “Take office… [Magician]! ”
“[Scanning: Use 1000 experience points to take up the profession of Magician… Detecting that the profession requires a second-rank precondition: Mysterious Scholar, Spirit 5.0, Soul Trance LV4!… Conditions met! Begin advancement!]” On the properties bar, the screen changed quickly.
Su Lu groaned, feeling a powerful force exploding within his spirit body.
A third-rank professional, already a specialist in various mystical domains, possesses supernatural powers!
They gradually step out of the realm of ordinary people, possessing a variety of bizarre and mysterious abilities.
That is even more so for [Magician]!
In an instant, he felt his spiritual body was incredibly stable in the mental realm, resisting the suction of the vortex.
Time seemed to have passed a long while, but in the outside world, it was just an instant. Accompanied by a vast amount of knowledge and information being poured in, the properties panel prompt rang out:
[Ding! Appointment successful!]
[Appointed to Odd Technician! Spirit +3! Constitution +1! Acquired Skill: Heart Trick!]
“[Odd Technician], also known as [Scroll Master] in ancient times, can create scrolls infused with strange powers, penetrate people’s hearts, perform all kinds of mysterious operations, their means are ever-changing, endless…”
A vast number of knowledge points have emerged one by one in Su Lu’s understanding.
His huge spirit makes him feel as if he has become a giant in the mental realm, suddenly raising his hand.
Whoosh!
The spirit chain, burning with pale flame and robust, like a python, rushed into the vortex in front of him.
The Western Federation, Black Death Society.
In a secret room.
The floor is decorated with array instrument tracks, surrounded by runes representing the moon and death.
A delicate-faced, youthful girl looked at the shattered talisman in her hand in surprise: “Failed? The opponent upgraded on the spot? And he succeeded? That’s impossible!”
The upgrade of the Transcendent profession is not a simple matter, with a high failure rate!
Moreover, it takes a long time, it cannot happen instantly.
Regardless of how puzzled Beryl was, what happened, happened.
With her fourth-rank strength, she could not curse her third-rank ‘Master’!
The array failed, and the force of backlash had left a deep wound on her body.
Her face paled, Beryl spat out a mouthful of blood: “Su Lu! Su Lu!” Whoosh!
Suddenly, a pale chain floated up in the void, like a snake sticking out its tongue, aiming directly at Beryl’s white neck!
Bang!
On the outside, the Black Death Followers who were guarding changed their expressions, they saw the whole secret room explode and couldn’t help but open their mouths in shock.
“What happened to the Saintess…?”
They saw Beryl in the ashes and immediately rushed forward to kneel down and ask what had happened.
“Summon the Society President… I… was careless.”
Beryl’s neck was clearly marked with a bloodstain, she murmured.
The words fell, and she vomited a mouthful of blood again before passing out.
“Not good, the Saintess fainted!”
This threw the remaining Black Death followers into greater chaos.
“Sure enough… the master-servant contract is good, she wants to curse me, she needs to spend ten or a hundred times more mental effort, but I don’t need to use much strength to follow the tunnel there. It’s just a pity… I’m not a fourth-rank professional, otherwise, the backlash from the curse itself would probably be enough to finish off Beryl, right?”
In the mental realm, Su Lu sighed and looked at the attribute bar:

“Rank three now. If Rod didn’t upgrade, I’m afraid he has fallen behind me already.”
Su Lu’s soul returned to reality, gazing at the moonlight, he seemed thoughtful..
