Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 120 My Body Is the Law
Lu Cang has never stopped thinking about the root cause.

The origins of all things and all laws evolve from this source...

Flesh and blood can also be altered by magic, and flesh and blood are the foundation of the body, the basis of strength and physique.

Combat skills are the techniques used to push the body to its limits.

Are magic and combat skills not interchangeable?
Magic is inherent in the human body.

Magic is also released through one's own body.

If the origin is the source from which all things evolve.

Doesn't that mean my body is itself part of the magic?

When mind and body are in harmony, one can experience the ultimate meaning of battle.

Kaiga is a very tough opponent.

Its combat skills can be described as perfect.

Honestly, even though it kills me time and time again, I still find its combat techniques pleasing to the eye.

As for the opponent's skills, they were in the eyes of Lu Cang, who possessed the ultimate skill of "Invincible Heart".

Its skills were all transformed into resources for self-improvement, and it gained many insights.

It was because of this relationship that Lu Cang was able to fight it more and more in each encounter.

Their ability to use magic also improved rapidly in battle.

However, compared to Kaiga now, his speed is still too slow.

Why are you so much slower than him?

Lu Cang did not simply attribute it to the other party's strong physique and high stats.

Instead, they are seriously considering the reasons why the other party is so powerful.

They've been caught!
They resisted, but were shattered!

The longer the battle went on, the slower Kaiga's movements appeared to him.

It's because my thinking speed has increased.

It was going too fast; even the flow of his own magic and the casting of spells couldn't keep up with the speed of his thoughts.

But this feeling is very strange.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and every movement of Kaiga's body was being observed.

Through perfect coordination, every movement unleashes its ultimate power.

He can do it...

Why can't I?
Why can't my magic work?
Why is my magic so slow to be activated? If this magic is already in my body... then what is the reason for the slowness?
Magic can freely transform, but what about my body?

Is it because he is a soldier?

But magic can also manipulate flesh and blood, and all the laws that evolve from the source should also include the physical body.

Countless insights gathered in my heart.

Lu Cang thought of Xu Zhou, the void, Iz's teachings, the insights gained from drinking the Fountain of Origin, the clarity of his fighting spirit, and the notes left by the Origin Mage.

He thought of Kaiga standing before him.

Countless inspirations intertwined, and everything in the world seemed to slow down as if it were still, even the incredibly fast Kaiga in front of me seemed to have stopped.

This is the feeling of thinking at its most active level!

Lu Cang felt his mind was clear and his surroundings were filled with surging magic.

Yes... My body is the Dharma!
Magic is born from the body, and magic is also released from my body.

My body is meant to be an integral part of magic!

This is my third-tier Root Magic!

"Source: Body is Law (Fourth Tier)"

call!
Kega is approaching again.

The battle axe was already swung up, with the force of splitting a mountain!
And it was at that very moment!
"Source Body·Instant White Flash"

crackling——

In an instant, Lu Cang's body transformed into a pure white light!
In a flash, it had already reached the farthest reaches!
boom!
The battle axe slashes down!

It cleaved through nothing!
This was the first time Lu Cang had ever "dodged" his attack!

Kaiga looked at Lu Cang again.

However, one could see a clear and ethereal quality in Lu Cang. His brows were no longer furrowed, and his eyes were as calm as a lake.

He met Kaiga's gaze.

There was no further ripple.

"Thank you."

In that instant of clarity, Lu Cang felt as if his body had come back to life!

boom!
If warriors can grasp the essence of combat, why can't they achieve the same level of clarity in casting spells?

A thick fog has risen!

Kaiga instantly extended his five senses to perceive the changes in the mist!

However, this time—

But it was completely different from before.

His keen senses allowed him to perceive dozens of Lu Cangs within the mist.

"Mirror Illusion Water Dream (Tier 3)"

A keen sense of the five senses allows one to distinguish subtle differences.

However, it is only through the differences that one can distinguish between the real and the fake.

If all the differences are erased... then they become indistinguishable.

Lu Cang felt that his understanding of magic was now incredibly clear.

However, Keiga only recognized it for a moment!
Then it charged toward one of the bodies!
Recognized?
Is there still a difference?
Sigh, don't be so discouraging. I thought I had it under control...

Swish!
Kaiga arrived in an instant! But this time, his battle axe struck Lu Cang's shield!

"Protection of a Thousand Waves of Resilient Water (Tier 3) (LV: 301)"

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——

The shields exploded layer by layer!

This strike seemed to cut into a thousand layers of steel!

After breaking through one layer of shield, there's another layer to go; this time it's not just a simple fifty-six-layered shield!

Each shield regenerated instantly after being shattered!
This strike shattered hundreds of layers of shields!

The immense power was completely drained.

As the opponent pursued and attacked, Lu Cang retreated using the wind!
This created a slight distance between the two.

This also provides more room for shield regeneration.

This attack didn't actually hit Lu Cang; instead, it was blocked by the shield!
"Heh... It seems I am indeed stronger than you."

The casting speed is now much faster than before.

It can be accomplished in a single thought.

In the past, spellcasting was like magic flowing along a path like a river.

Now, casting a spell is like lightning flashing across the path.

It forms instantly.

Magic constantly fills my entire body.

However... the price is that with such a high frequency of spellcasting, the rate at which mana is consumed is ridiculously fast.

Lu Cang seemed to have also grasped the meaning of Iz's words.

If only one spell can be cast at a time, then the casting speed should be as fast as casting spells simultaneously.

Thinking of this, Lu Cang couldn't help but smile inwardly...

Haha... It can't really be like that, can it?

At that moment, a thought arose, and magic flowed naturally, instantly forming a spell.

call--

The elements swept past like a whirlwind!

It enveloped Kaiga's body like a raging fire!
Amidst the chase and tug-of-war, the two created a long elemental storm along their path!

Kaiga was covered in wounds.

Lu Cang, however, was perfectly dressed.

Lu Cang pointed the staff out with one hand.

"If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for choosing this battlefield."

Sorry, but having four god-tier combat talents means you can do whatever you want.

Moreover, his innate talent in the knowledge system was a great help.

If one does not decipher the spell "Flesh and Blood Remodeling", it will be difficult to comprehend the relationship between magic and the physical body, and one will probably not be able to think about this level of understanding of the root.

Without understanding the essence of the God of War, one cannot comprehend the ultimate meaning of combat.

Of course... without "peeping into secrets," this hidden BOSS would never have been discovered.

"Source: Inner Spike Void Crystal"

The illusory crystal pierced through the God of War's body once more!
boom!
The God of War shuddered!
They wanted to shake Lu Cang's "source" out of his body!
Its body should be immune to all attacks!
But in the next instant, this "source" flowed directly into its body.

My body is the Dharma.

Isn't your body the same...?

"Kaiga, you deserve to lose."

Lu Cang and Kaijia were very close to each other.

Kaiga's battle axe had already struck Lu Cang's neck, but Lu Cang's figure flickered, switching between himself and the corpse.

And at the same time.

A source of color flowed from Kaiga's limbs and bones, eventually converging in Kaiga's brain.

Lu Cang believed that the heart of such a warrior must have been tempered through countless trials.

but……

Has your brain also undergone a steel-like forging process?

"Source: Implosion - Sacrifice of Souls: 100 million"

Lu Cang stood behind Kaijia, his staff pointing at Kaijia.

"Brain explode."

boom!
A muffled, explosive sound came from within Kaiga's body!
His body suddenly shuddered!
This explosion, which should have been extremely large, did not leak out of Kaiga's body at all!

The soul ascends to heaven!

Countless souls sang in praise!

In an instant, Kaiga's eyes lost their color, and his soul seemed to depart from his seven orifices!
"He's... dead."

Upon seeing this, Lu Cang couldn't help but gasp.

What an incredibly strong physique that must be!
How can one withstand the explosion of a million souls sacrificed within their body without letting any aftershocks leak out?
Isn't this kind of body a bit too outrageous?
How exactly did he train like that? Lu Cang was still worried, so he immediately seized the opportunity to gather another "Source" into his heart!
"Source: Implosion - Sacrifice of Souls: 100 million"

boom!
This time, Kaiga's body finally succumbed to such terrifying destruction.

The blasted flesh and blood were scattered everywhere, pieces here and there.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that its body was actually quite intact.

It was just blown into six or seven pieces.

If a Tier 4, nation-destroying level monster were to ingest this quadruple "Source Implosion" attack...

Frying them into powder is considered mild.

……

Lu Cang launched several more attacks, finally confirming that Kaiga was completely dead, and then divided his body into pieces and put them into his storage ring.

The monster corpses inside the Tower of War cannot be taken out.

Items stored in storage rings will disappear after leaving the Tower of War.

Lu Cang didn't know if he could take the War God's corpse out.

However, if his body parts are placed in different storage spaces, it probably won't be so easy for him to be resurrected.

Rather than being an opponent.

Rather, he's a teacher.

I really learned a lot from it.

and……

Lu Cang looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground.

Honestly, if it weren't for this kind of battlefield, it would be hard to say who would win.

Before I could even comprehend the third-order origin, it might have already defeated me.

Especially when its speed suddenly increases.

If you deliberately throw out the stored corpses, you probably won't be able to get them out of its attack range at all.

Unless, he gives himself ample time to bury the body parts and set up the battleground.

But it was precisely on this kind of battlefield that Lu Cang found it difficult to die.

This is the place recorded in "The Secret History of Battle".

It seems to be a place where he once fought.

However... it seems that wherever he went, there were bound to be corpses everywhere, because he spent almost his entire life in battle.

“Kaiga… huh?”

It really left a deep impression.

However, defeating him should also mean that my strength is now superior to that of even the gods of yesteryear.

Lu Cang mentally reviewed the battle that had just taken place.

Even though the battle is over.

Kaiga's performance also has many aspects worth reflecting on and considering repeatedly.

Lu Cang sat there amidst the pile of corpses.

Ignoring the surrounding decay and stench, he recalled everything that had just happened.

With the end of the battle.

The heightened state I was in gradually faded, and my sharp thinking and active mind returned to normal.

This must be the result of the combined effect of spirituality and combat prowess.

The benefits of fighting are indeed quite significant.

It seems that experiencing more battles will help me to think things through.

If understanding the root cause can be achieved through battles, then Lu Cang wouldn't mind having a few more fights...

Of course, this is on the premise that the opponent is meaningful and can excite you.

Some so-called strong individuals are similar to those in the City Within a Circle.

A one-sided thrashing is really uninspiring.

I wonder if there are any opponents in this world who are at the same level as me and can still have a great time fighting them.

Of course, it's also possible that one truly becomes invincible.

After all, he had even defeated a war god of the same level.

Although I had a slight advantage in terms of location, I didn't receive a staff, and there's still room for improvement at level 3... Even if it's not a crushing defeat, it's at least a 50/50 match.

Lu Cang was both reviewing the situation and reflecting on his combat strength and status in this world.

But suddenly...

An extremely heavy sense of oppression came over me!
puff!
Before Lu Cang could react, in an instant, all the corpses turned into a bloody mist!
From the horizon where the sun sets, a man with exaggerated muscles walks toward him with invincible strides!

step……

Then it came to him.

Although he couldn't see its face clearly, Lu Cang could sense its presence.

Mars.

He's not some level 3 War God.

Instead, it exudes a divine aura—the God of War.

God does not need to prove himself; the moment mortals see God, they will know in their hearts—ah, this is God.

Lu Cang was about to stand up when he saw that Lu Cang had already sat down next to him.

"Hahahaha!!! What a satisfying battle!!!"

Does it feel good?
If I were to fight an enemy I could never kill, I'd probably just feel disgusted. The God of War's thinking is truly different from that of normal people.

It's unclear whether the God of War appearing here is his true form or some kind of projection or clone.

But let's be a little more humble, like a child to an elder.

The God of War patted Lu Cang on the shoulder.

"You!! You are truly the most spiritually gifted child I've ever met!!!"

"Higher than those who are born with innate awakening!!"

"Hahaha! Don't worry!! I won't bully the weak!!!"

The place with the strongest spirituality?

That's quite a compliment.

A naturally awakened being? This is yet another new piece of knowledge. Indeed, the gods have mastered many secrets.

"Senior War God, what is a Primordial Awakener?"

Lu Cang didn't ask about the reward, because asking about it would seem too eager for quick success.

Let's just go along with what they're saying, and knowledge is also very important.

"Haha! I'm a Primordial Awakener!!"

"From the moment they're born!! They're warriors!!"

Oh... I see.

I just finished reading the book "The Beginning of Spirituality" and have gained some understanding of spirituality. I was thinking that if one were born with a spirituality that is incredibly high, wouldn't that be terrifying?
Surprisingly, such a thing actually exists in the world.

"But!! Your spirituality!! Is even more abundant than that of those who are born with innate awakening!!"

"At least twice as much!! No! More than three times as much!!"

Is it that tall?

Lu Cang wasn't sure either; it might be because he had gathered extra spiritual energy during his job change.

"So?! Are you interested in accepting my legacy?!"

The God of War had already sat down opposite Lu Cang, cross-legged, with his hands resting on his knees.

He looked at Lu Cang with a serious and excited expression.

"Having received the legacy of the God of War, is there anything I can do for you?"

Lu Cang remained cautious, unsure if there were any pitfalls in this inheritance.

"Haha!! Nothing else! If any other successors who have received my inheritance come to challenge you!! Just beat them down!!"

Oh……

So I'm not the only one.

Does that mean someone else defeated this...God of War?
Ah, my invincibility is unparalleled!

He even thought that if he defeated it, he would truly be invincible among his peers.

"Of course!! It would be even better if you could change your class to a warrior!!"

Oh... actually, I do have the idea of ​​changing to a warrior.

It is not impossible.

"Senior God of War".

"Don't call me 'senpai'!! Just call me Kaiga!!!"

Oh……

"Kaiga".

"Besides me, how many other people have received your legacy?"

Lu Cang sensed that the God of War didn't like being addressed with honorifics, so Lu Cang changed his way of addressing it.

"3!"

"Haha!! But if I had been born in your era!! You would have absolutely no chance of defeating me!!"

In other words, is he attributing his defeat to differences in the times?
Indeed, the era of the God of War seems to have been more barbaric.

"I hope you can reach Lao Tzu's level soon! And have a fair fight with Lao Tzu!!"

Lu Cang nodded: "If that day ever comes, definitely."

At least one piece of information was obtained: gods can indeed be upgraded from mortals.

Although this had been speculated upon beforehand.

But receiving confirmation from God's mouth and speculating in one's own heart are two completely different things.

"Kaiga, so the inheritance is...?"

"Haha!! The legacy of the God of War is, of course, prepared for warriors!!"

"But don't worry!! I certainly won't treat you unfairly!!"

"This complete set of magic tempering and refining combat techniques!! It's the combat technique I created back when I was figuring out how you lousy mages fight!!"

"I'll pass it on to you!!"

ha?
Combat skills?

I don't have a warrior class yet.

The God of War placed his hands on Lu Cang's shoulders, revealing a bold smile.
