Chapter 1244: The three Professions

The night grew deep.

In a room, Zhao Qiong held a book in her hand, reading it with acute interest.

Across from her, Li San Lang was studying the various fist techniques within the piece of bone he was given.

Suddenly, Li San Lang put the piece of bone down and stood up.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Qiong asked.

“Toilet” Li San Lang replied.

“Ah”

Zhao Qiong looked down and continued reading her thick book.

As expected, Li San Lang didn’t cause any grudge, so during the entire Apocalypse, no grudgeful spirit appeared to take his life.

Now that the Apocalypse is over, there wouldn’t be any more danger.

Creak!

The bathroom door was closed, followed by the sound of water and the window opening.

An orange cat appeared from the darkness and silently leapt onto the window sill.

Li San Lang disappeared, turning into a sword and fading behind the orange cat’s back, while the orange cat landed on the floor of the toilet, returning to Li San Lang’s appearance.

A few moments later.

Li San Lang left.

“Senior Zhao, if you’re sleepy, you should rest now, it’s already fine today” he said.

Zhao Qiong smiled: “No, since I’m already here, I want to make sure that you’re safe for the entire night. I’ll be sleeping on the sofa tonight”

Gu Qing Shan tried persuading her a few more times, but despite how gentle and warm Zhao Qiong appeared, she was extremely obstinate about this and insisted on protecting Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan could only let her do as she pleased

He then returned to his room, plopped himself onto his bed, and soon entered a dream.

[Night Cruiser] was activated once again!

This time, Gu Qing Shan didn’t have any real purpose, he did so purely to train his ability.

…

An uneventful night.

At dawn, Li Qiu Yu returned.

“Was he good yesterday?” Li Qiu Yu asked Zhao Qiong directly.

“Very, he just sat still for a while after the meal, after the Apocalypse was over, he went to sleep” Zhao Qiong replied.

“Did any grudgeful spirits come to mess with him?” Li Qiu Yu asked.

“Hm… some chickens, and ducks, goats, fishes” Zhao Qiong replied.

“Pfft—-”

Li Qiu Yu couldn’t hold back her laughter, and Zhao Qiong also followed.

They were definitely cattle he killed when he was learning how to cook.

This little guy really is interesting.

——-they didn’t know that occasionally, when Gu Qing Shan was so busy that he couldn’t make food, Shannu would help him slaughter a few cattle.

As for when Gu Qing Shan faced the Grudgeful Spirits Apocalypse, due to the Soul Shrieker’s appearance, the cattle he killed didn’t have the courage to appear together with this monster even in death.

That was why things turned out the way they did.

The two of them smiled while looking at the kitchen.

A figure that wasn’t too tall was busy toiling away in there.

After breakfast, Zhao Qiong bid them farewell, Li Qiu Yu had to return to HQ to write her report, while Gu Qing Shan had class, so the three of them went their separate ways.

The Study Lodge.

This morning, every student was present in the room, no one was missing.

An old man with a goatee walked into the room.

He cleared his throat, then curtly said: “Today, we’re going to learn about the Professions”

A piece of rock appeared in his hand.

“As you all know, within our Tomb of Myriad Beasts, there are a total of three Professions——-”

Quite a few called out loudly: “Spirit Linked Martial Artists, Weapon Wielders, Bone Masters!”

“Indeed” the old man put the rock on the podium, then emphasized: “But keep in mind, these are merely the Professions of our world. In truth, within the boundless void, the number of Professions are constantly growing day by day, no one knows the exact number of these combative Professions at any given time”

“Understood!” the students all answered in unison.

“Good, now we’re going to experience the power of Weapon Wielders. Let me ask, which one of you had never been in my class before?” the old man asked.

Everyone turned around at once to look at Gu Qing Shan.

He was new, so he had only been in the history and practical combat classes.

“Little one, what’s your name?” the old man asked.

“Li Qiu Shan” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Ah, I know you, you’re the little brother of Blades Venerate and Serenity, come, get up to the podium” the old man gently said.

Gu Qing Shan followed.

—–he didn’t know exactly what it meant to be a Weapon Wielder in this world, so Gu Qing Shan was quite curious.

“Hold that piece of rock tightly” the old man told him.

“Yes”

Gu Qing Shan looked at the rock.

The rock was dirty and dusty, almost like an unassuming piece of broken tile.

What’s going to happen?

Gu Qing Shan reached his hand to take the piece of broken tile.

Suddenly, the broken tile flickered, then split off into a pair of sharp and glimmering new daggers in each of his hands.

“Whoa!”

Gu Qing Shan called out in surprise.

The two daggers then led him forward to perform an entire set of vicious assassination techniques in the empty air.

Following that, sparks of glittering flames manifested into strings that continuously circled around Gu Qing Shan.

Is this a kind of protection?

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, a cold gleam appeared on the daggers, then suddenly flew several meters forward, slicing the air with an ear-ringing noise.

“Let go!”

The old man shouted, then slapped Gu Qing Shan’s wrist to knock the two daggers to the ground.

He then lightly pressed the void of space.

The cold gleam that flew outwards instantly disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan looked down, only to see the two daggers had once again turned into a dusty piece of rock that laid motionlessly on the ground.

“Alright, return to your seat”

“Yes, teacher”

Gu Qing Shan returned to his seat and sat down.

——how wondrous.

Not only did the weapon carry a set of assassination techniques, but it also had a power similar to Thaumaturgy.

And I could clearly feel that wasn’t the limit of the dagger’s power.

It still had other abilities.

The old man said: “Alright, let me explain briefly”

“In the great tomb, there are countless armor, weapons, as well as other treasures”

“Whenever the Apocalypse descends upon our world from the great tomb, they would occasionally bring with them powerful artifacts”

“Each of these artifacts contain unimaginable power, some even carry their own sentience that can help us perform spirit linking, obtaining certain abilities, inheritance, and techniques from within”

“Among us, some can naturally connect with these artifacts more easily than others, obtain their approval, thus becoming their new masters”

“These are Weapon Wielders”

“As for Bone Masters, there is a higher prerequisite to perform spirit linking”

Saying so, the old man took out a thin piece of white bone and placed it on the table.

“This one is dangerous, so I can’t let you touch it”

Saying so, he tapped the white bone with his finger.

It lightly trembled.

Instantly, the void started to warp and split apart revealing an eerie corpse in front of them all.

This was a woman wearing a destroyed set of armor, her skin was dark purple colored with both of her eyes closed, silently standing in the void.

“Some of the bone fragments contain the will and consciousness of their owners while they were still alive, which we are able to connect to through a unique method, fully manifesting them”

The old man pointed at the female corpse and said: “As you can see, this piece of bone used to be a part of her bones. When I use a Bone Master’s secret technique to wield the bone, I can manifest her consciousness and make her appear like this”

“There are two factors in determining the combat strength when summoning the original owners of the bones this way. The first is how powerful the original owner of the bone used to be, and secondly how strong the spirit link is when using the secret technique to connect to them”

“I have been performing spirit linking with his female warrior’s corpse for over 100 years, now capable of exerting 30% of her fighting strength when she was still alive”

“When fighting against the Apocalypse, she fights alongside me”

The entire classroom was silent.

The students were watching the female corpse in both fear and admiration.

“Have you remembered everything I’ve said? This is a very high-levelled spirit linking, which requires ample knowledge, secret techniques, and naturally, also talent” the old man raised his voice a bit.

He then pointed at the white bone from afar.

The female corpse swiftly disappeared.

The old man rolled up his sleeves, then continued: “Good, next we’ll talk about Spirit Linked Martial Artists”

“This one is very interesting——– as the martial artist inheritances we’ve obtained through spirit linking had always originated from deep within the great tomb, locations that even now, we would not step foot into”

“Those who become Spirit Linked Martial Artists would usually obtain some especially powerful martial arts secret techniques”

“All in all, these three Professions of our Tomb of Myriad Beasts, even among the infinite worlds of the void, are considerably famous”

“Because we have this tomb that not only contains countless Apocalypses but also countless treasures”

“——-It is part of the Samsara’s secret, waiting for us to excavate”
