All My Professions Have Divine-Level Talents Chapter 237 - 153: Assassinating Lu Cang - Leng Qingying (3)

"But I’m not the one presiding over this ritual. I’m just here as a supervisor."

Kumironi herself was not the one in charge of promotions.

That was why you usually couldn’t get her for a regular promotion.

"They actually requested Sister Kumironi specifically to oversee it? What kind of situation is it?"

"Hmm~ It’s for a study from the White Tower. They’ve made new progress in their research on promotions. If it’s successful, it might be possible to bypass Spiritual Contamination during the ritual."

"I’ve heard about this research before, but this is the first ti I’m participating in a related project."

"After all, I’ve been away traveling all this ti..."

Ever since her own promotion, Kumironi rarely spent much ti in the Capital. She was almost always out exploring the world with Iz and the others.

So naturally, she didn’t know much about things like long-term research projects.

Even the powerful couldn’t be expected to know every single thing in ticulous detail.

"Sister Kumironi, do you know who the person getting promoted is?"

"I think it’s a child nad Yuna. She’s about your age, maybe even a little younger."

’It’s her?’

’Destiny is certainly a coincidence.’

’No, it’s not just a coincidence; in a way, it feels like an inevitability... Yuna must have planned this long ago, to hold her promotion ritual the day after passing the White Tower’s assessnt.’

’And I just happened to be taking the assessnt on that particular day.’

’As long as I took that assessnt, I was bound to et Yuna.’

Yesterday, he had delved deep into Destiny Science.

Now, Lu Cang had a completely different perspective on Destiny.

’What seems like a coincidence is, in fact, an inevitability.’

’As the High Priest of the Divine Hall of Life and the strongest Healing Mage of this era, it was also inevitable that Kumironi would be invited to keep things under control. Even if an accident involving Spiritual Contamination did occur, Kumironi could resolve it.’

Lu Cang and Kumironi chatted as they walked, talking about their recent daily lives and various happenings.

They soon arrived at the Promotion Hall.

In front of the Promotion Hall’s entrance, Lu Cang noticed a young, black-haired girl who looked slightly older than him.

She was very conspicuous, still wearing light, combat-ready clothing despite the heavy snow.

A strap was tied around her outer thigh, from which hung two daggers of different lengths.

Such an outfit on a girl who looked so young.

It was hard not to stare.

When Kumironi saw her, however, she smiled and waved from a distance.

"Qingying!"

"You’re here so early!"

Leng Qingying.

Only 10 years old, yet she was rumored to be the greatest Assassin in Kernoya.

’I haven’t had much contact with the Assassin profession.’

’I don’t know how "greatest" she really is.’

’But Kumironi was here this ti to promote her to a Level 4 Assassin.’

’She doesn’t seem that tough. No matter how strong a Level 3 is, could she be stronger than ?’

The three of them walked into the Promotion Hall, and Lu Cang felt Leng Qingying’s gaze frequently land on him.

It was a cold and sharp gaze.

Just her looking at him, though without killing intent, still felt piercing.

Lu Cang could only respond with the vacant smile of a child.

Before Lu Cang could say anything to ease the tension, she spoke up. "Are you strong?"

Lu Cang gave a helpless smile. "I’m not weak."

Leng Qingying said with extre seriousness, "I’m stronger than you."

Lu Cang felt an air of defiance from her.

Sensing her Battle Intent, Lu Cang couldn’t help but sigh internally.

’Sigh...’

’These geniuses never have an accurate assessnt of their own strength.’

’They always think they’re invincible.’

’They have no idea there are always bigger fish in the sea.’

"Oh? I don’t think so." Lu Cang didn’t indulge her. His smile vanished as he responded flatly.

Suddenly, his Final Sense flared with a powerful warning of danger!

Lu Cang instantly snapped his head back!

SWOOSH!

A dagger had shot past!

But after he dodged, the dagger actually changed direction, following the movent of his head to slash at him.

It was as if it wouldn’t stop until he was dead.

Lu Cang instantly entered a combat stance. He used Flash of Light to create distance, only to find that Leng Qingying was no longer where she had been standing.

’Is she crazy?’

’Attacking here?’

’This is the Promotion Hall!’

’And to attack so suddenly?’

’Shouldn’t we be in an arena for this?’

’What if I hadn’t dodged? You would have actually killed .’

Anger flared within Lu Cang.

Lu Cang hated it when people threatened his life more than anything.

Even if it was a threat he could easily evade.

"I have no grudge against you, Leng Qingying."

Lu Cang’s voice turned cold.

He stood his ground, a white, war-spear-shaped Magic Staff in his hand.

His Spiritual Star Ring Staff was currently with Ai Jin, who was helping him perform a new round of modifications on it.

For now, he could only use another Magic Wand as a substitute.

Seeing the helpless expression on Kumironi’s face, Lu Cang did his best to restrain himself.

’She probably figured that even if she killed , Kumironi would just resurrect .’

’Attacking without any warning... truly the mindset of an Assassin.’

’Well then, since you were prepared to kill, it’s only reasonable for to kill you in return, right?’

"Sister Kumironi."

"I’m a little angry. If I do sothing out of line, I hope you’ll understand."

Kumironi sighed lightly and shook her head in resignation.

"Mm... I’ll take care of the aftermath. She’s the one in the wrong here. Little Lu Cang, go ahead and teach her a lesson."

Lu Cang’s Intuition flared, and he instantly sidestepped.

The instant he dodged the dagger’s thrust, he also grabbed his opponent’s striking wrist!
