Beryl was indeed affected.

And in the future, she may come back to kill him, her ‘master’?

Su Lu mocked himself: “Sure enough, the mutation rituals often end badly!

What should I do?”

“It’s simple!”

Rod was firm: “Find her and kill her before she grows up! Purify all the pollution and seeds!”

‘The bomb I dropped must ultimately be defused by me.’

Su Lu laughed bitterly inwardly: “How to find her?”

“You hosted the ritual, so you and her must have a mystical connection!” Rod said.

Su Lu immediately recalled the pentagram mark on Beryl’s forehead. As soon as she left a certain range, he completely lost that sense.

He hesitated and shared this concern.

Rod found it normal: “You’re too weak. Once she gets too far from you, you naturally lose the connection… or else, she might intentionally ‘shield’ herself until she has fully grown. To catch her, you have to strengthen yourself, like… becoming a real Transcendent!”

“Okay!” Su Lu agreed at once, and saw surprise on Rod’s face.

“You agreed?” Rod’s mouth hung open.

“Yes, I agreed, is there a problem?”

“You were so resistant when you were a kid…” Rod rubbed his hands together.

I was because I’ve changed, and besides, without becoming occupational, is there any way to survive in this world?

Su Lu rolled his eyes inwardly: “Now, I’ve grown up… Tell me about the professional ranks and the transcendent!”

“Alright!”

Rod thought for a moment then said: “In this world, transcendent power has always existed, regardless of ‘twilight’ or ‘dawn’, and people who have mastered transcendent power are called ‘Transcendents ‘, or ‘Occupational Persons’!”

“And how do you become an Occupational?”

Su Lu asked hurriedly.

“Simple… through ‘upgrading’ and ‘job switching’!” Rod smiled and explained: “The transcendent path in this world, we call it the ‘professional path’. Only by attaining a first-level profession, can one truly become a ‘Transcendent’!”contemporary romance

“In the Mysterious Realm, we divide the professional path into several layers, from the first level ‘Transcendent’, to the second level ‘Elite’, including third-level ‘Expert’, fourth-level ‘Master’… The Transcendent level means they are essentially detached from ordinary people, the second -level Elite signifies that they are the elites among the extraordinary, experts are in-depth researchers in their own fields, and Masters represent the pinnacle of a particular field.”

“It’s easy to understand. What about after the fourth level?” Su Lu asked again.

“Isn’t the fourth level enough?” Rod was astonished: “During the Twilight of the Gods, the masters were truly at the pinnacle… As for the fifth and sixth levels, they are the stuff of legends and myths!”

“So how do you obtain the first level profession?”

“There are many ways, depending on the ‘professional path’ you choose. For example, our family’s [Demon Hunter], its first-level occupation is [Pact Demonist], requires a ritual called ‘Stare at the Abyss’; a first-level [Apprentice] requires the transformation of mysterious power; [Soldier] requires thorough training to breakthrough their physical potential… Some professions require special potions, but generally, the best ways are through various rituals and drills, potions, or seeking help from certain entities…”

“[Apprentice] and [Soldier]?” Su Lu pricked up his ears. It seemed that he had heard the term Soldier from Donald, but the latter didn’t want to say too much.

“These are the two most common first-level professions, one focuses on spellcasting abilities, the other is centered on physical strength… They represent two different directions…” Rod looked deeply at Su Lu: “What do you think… how did the professional path come about?”

“By the grace of the divine? Or through our own exploration?” Su Lu ventured a guess in response.

“Correct, but the knowledge bestowed by the divine only accounts for a small part. In today’s world, there are as many professions as there are stars in the sky. Most of them are the result of human exploration, learning from transcendent species and mysterious forces, and a variety of crazy practices.

There might have only been a few professional paths in ancient times, but now they are countless. So many that even the most erudite transcendent might not be able to account for them all. Some have vanished into history, while others have thrived. But!”

Rod emphasized his tone, suggesting, “Only the most common paths offer the possibility of reaching the top!”

“Reaching the top?”

“Let me put it this way, the so-called system of professional paths is like a collection of large trees. The [Soldier] and [Apprentice] are the two largest trees, each with countless branches. For example, an [Apprentice] can choose to become an [Alchemy Apprentice] in the enchantment system, or delve into the power of spells to become a [Law Toucher], or study the arcane to become an [Arcane Scholar]. These are the second level professions on the [Apprentice] path. As for the third level, there are even more… The more branching paths, the more options for the future. The same is true for the [Soldier] profession, where one could become a second -level [Swordsman], a [Cavalry], or a [Gunfighter], a newly popular profession. The more branches, the stronger the growth of the tree, and the higher the pinnacle one can reach… as long as you don’t choose the wrong path!”

“However…” Rod said, “Some first-level professions offer few choices. For example, a [Demon Hunter] only has two options: light and darkness, either resistance or corruption.”

Suddenly, Su Lu felt a strong sense of sadness.

Intuitively, he sensed that Rod did not wish for him to tread the same path as their ancestors.

“I understand… The choice of professional paths should aim for the highest rank. Professions with more branches offer more choices, and a greater chance of future success.”

Su Lu nodded solemnly.

“That’s right. Some obscure professions, whether due to broken lineage or inability to meet the requirements for progression, can trap you. Like the legendary [Dragon Shepherds]. Their progression condition is to tame a giant dragon! By the Seven Gods! If they cannot find a dragon, they can never progress! ”

With a sigh, Rod said, “Throughout the history of the Mysterious Realm, countless talents have created an array of covert professions, but only a few have truly reached the end… I would caution you to choose wisely. Although one can dabble in several professions, investing heavily in a profession that cannot progress may reduce your potential for reaching the higher levels in the future…

“Having a side job?”

Su Lu’s ears perked up at the exciting prospect, “Can one hold a side job?”

“Of course. As long as the attributes do not conflict, no one cares if you hold ten side jobs. Because your professional rank will always be calculated based on your highest profession. The gap between each rank is so vast,”

Rod shrugged, “People’s energy is, after all, limited. Moreover, the rules of many professions conflict with one another. Having side jobs is often more harmful than beneficial… There was a guy who held five professions. As a result, he remained stuck at the first level forever. While having more professions does make his methods more versatile and perhaps allows him to hold his own against a second-level elite, he will never be a match for a third-level expert.”

“I was just thinking that, if one can hold a side job, there would still be a chance if I chose the wrong professional path.”

Su Lu smiled.

Through their conversation, he had learned much information.

“It’s best not to make the wrong choice. Even the most talented individual may not go very far on the professional path…” Rod warned him solemnly.

‘Where does the professional path lead to in the end?”

Su Lu sighed again, “According to what you’ve said, in our family, the highest a

Demon Hunter can reach is the fourth-level master!”

“Isn’t the fourth level enough?”

Rod glanced at him curiously, “And… a [Demon Hunting Master] can still progress further, but they would need help from the Goddess Church. According to our family records, an ancestor of the Pottery family became a sixth-level [Guardian of God].” “And after the sixth level?”

Su Lu asked suddenly.

Rod was taken aback. Soon after, a serious look descended upon his face. “I won’t indulge in discussing such a blasphemous matter with you!”

‘Actually, you’ve already answered my question. Is it blasphemy?’

A thought arose in Su Lu’s mind, ‘Could the pinnacle of a professional path possibly touch the realm of the divine?’
