Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The gods are incredibly powerful, immortal, and invincible.

In the face of such beings, ordinary people are like ants, and even the lower-ranking Transcendents are merely larger ants.

Such majestic beings, why would they care about the insignificant ones at their feet? Just like normal people don’t bother about ordinary ant colonies.

This cold hard fact, made Su Lu feel suffocating.

If everything is like this, how hopeless should this world be? “As humans, the only ones we can rely on are ourselves!”

Rod spoke loudly, as if somewhat excited: “This is the origin of the professional path, and it’s the concept that generation after generation of Transcendents have wanted to pass down!”

“The strong are called strong because they have a strong heart first, right?” asked Su Lu.

He saw a look of gratification in Rod’s eyes, knowing that this was the point the latter wanted to convey from the start.

“The greatness of the gods is still too far away from us…”contemporary romance

Rod didn’t continue the previous topic: “But… They just cast some influence that might profoundly change our world!”

“Among them, some evil gods and monsters, who love to create death and chaos, demons are among them!”

“Regardless of how evil and depraved they are, there will always be people who, due to their evil thoughts and greed, will worship and connect with them, obtaining a ‘gift’!”

“Many of them fall because of this, transforming into monsters and evil spirits…but there are also smart people who, by observing, researching, and learning about various evil creatures, have created a unique professional system and advancement path! This is suppressed by other positive forces.”

‘For example, the twin system of the Demon Hunter—the Fallen System, a professional path that constantly falls and draws closer to demons!’ Su Lu silently added in his heart.

Rod continued: “Among the followers of demons, the majority are various demonized creatures. They possess strength and speed beyond ordinary people, and perhaps even have the filthy light from the Abyss… The stronger ones can even pollute surrounding creatures, of course, some are good at hiding, and when not in attack mode, they are no different from ordinary people… These hidden ones have previously caused great harm to the human world!”

“But… they were taken care of afterward, weren’t they?” Su Lu asked calmly.

“That’s right, they were all dealt with by the Demon Hunters! Because the

Demon Hunters possess the power of demons, they can sense other creatures!” Rod answered: “Actually… dealing with such creatures isn’t too difficult, especially after the advent of firearms! The ones that trouble me the most are things like revenants, evil spirits… They present themselves in the form of a spiritual body, rendering many physical attacks useless.”

“In addition to these two categories, there are also some indescribable terrors, maybe a curse… for instance, periodically disappearing old houses, a path straight into unknown space, an infinite loop time trap…They appear and disappear suddenly, or confine a certain range, forming a ‘restricted area’, each time taking the lives of some innocents!”

“This world… is it that dangerous?” Su Lu questioned in surprise: “How come I’ve never heard of it?”

“That’s because previously it was the Twilight of the Gods, and all kinds of transcendent events were reduced to a minimum… Plus…” Rod shrugged a glance at Su Lu: “Where did you grow up and receive your education?

That’s right, I was born in a family of Demon Hunters when the power of transcending was at a low point, and ordinary creatures wouldn’t dare to provoke us.

And at university, I studied in St. George, which was under the protection of the Goddess Church, who would dare to act recklessly here?

Su Lu had a sudden realization and laughed a little embarrassedly: “You continue… ”

This kind of instruction would surely allow his [Demon Hunting Knowledge LVI] to improve.

So, Su Lu didn’t want to miss any opportunity.

After finishing the morning study, the two hurriedly ate lunch, Rod casually took off his shirt, revealing his broad and robust chest, on his bronze skin, scars crisscrossed like centipedes, extremely ugly and ferocious: “The afternoon is for practical training!”

“Alright!”

Su Lu took a deep breath, moved to the center of the field: “Why… do you have so many wounds?”

Rod casually pointed at one: “This is a memento from a ‘Horned demon’, its horns are very hard, but in the end, its skull became part of my collection…This is a gift from a ‘Deceiver’, it disguised itself as a woman, trying to assassinate me!”

“What about here?”

Su Lu pointed at Rod’s belly, there was a twisted scar there, like a child’s graffiti.

“…That was left from an appendectomy when I was young, I’ve already complained about the doctor who stitched me up!”

“Alright…”

Su Lu withheld his laughter and turned solemn.

What kind of power does a second-order [Demon Hunter] possess? He was about to experience it firsthand.

“Be careful!”

Rod opened his mouth and gave a warning.

The next moment!

Right as his voice landed, his whole body, like a black bear, rolled towards him.

It’s hard to imagine, that with such a huge size, his speed was as quick as the wind!

‘Too fast!’

Su Lu gritted his teeth.

Not only was he fast, but the serious Rod also gave off an imposing aura that made him somewhat feel suffocated: ‘So strong! Does a second-order occupational person possess such strength?’

“Turtle Form!”

Under such terrifying threat, his body instinctively chose to defend.

Bang!

The next moment, a terrifying force was transmitted from the point of contact on his arm.

Su Lu felt as if he was hit head-on by a high-speed steam locomotive, his whole body flew backward like a cannonball.

“My hand!”

He grimaced holding his right arm, feeling as if his bones were broken.

“I used my full strength from the start, wanting to see your foundation…” Rod, with his towering figure, came over: “Your fighting skills are practiced well… but they haven’t exceeded the limit of ordinary people!”

“Does an occupational person have so much strength?”

In pain, Su Lu struggled to his feet, took the ointment Rod handed him, and applied it to himself.

The ointment was very effective, although it smelled foul, when applied to the skin, an immediate icy coolness spread through his muscles, effectively relieving the pain.

“The first level of professional rank is called ‘Transcendent’, meaning it surpasses the limit of ordinary people!”

Rod explained: “When you advance to the first rank, you will experience a baptism, and your physical attributes will greatly increase! The further you advance, the greater this increase!”

‘So, the attribute increase from advancing from first to second rank will surely be more significant than an ordinary person advancing to first rank?’ Su Lu asked again: “What about multi-professions?”

“Sure, multi-professions have it too, but if you do that, the effect will be best the first time, and the second time it will decrease by almost half, and after three times, it will barely have any effect!”

Rod replied: “Based on deduction…this is probably because having too many professions causes the rules or the Source to counteract each other!”

“I see!”

Su Lu nodded seriously. He knew his idea of rapidly increasing his stats through numerous multi-professions would fall through..
