Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 637, I Am Someone Brimming With Curiosity

Translator: Silavin

Such an unusual phenomenon caused Lu Fan to narrow his eyes.

Lu Fan had heard that once one reached Level 90 and completed their Fourth Profession Change, the Experience Points required for each subsequent Level increase was astronomical. Simply grinding Dungeon Instances and killing Monsters would no longer be enough to raise one’s Level.

Therefore, Fourth Profession Players like Ye Wuxian relied on improving their understanding of their Profession Characteristics to gain opportunities to Level Up.

If Fourth Profession Players were already like this, then players above Level 100 were even more so.

Without doubt, Murong Sheng’s current behaviour was undoubtedly him experiencing the wonders of his own Profession Characteristics.

Through this method, he could find the direction to break through Level 119 and reach Level 120 to undergo his Fifth Profession Change.

However, this process was far from simple, otherwise Murong Sheng would not have been able to break through Level 119 long ago.

Lu Fan found Murong Sheng’s behaviour to be curious.

*Whoosh…* With a sound of rushing wind, Lu Fan landed beside the Pillar of Light, standing opposite to Murong Sheng.

Seeing Lu Fan arrive, Yuan Jingang and Li Qingfeng naturally stood by Lu Fan’s side.

After all, if something were to happen to Lu Fan, they, as slaves, did not know what would become of them.

Li Qingfeng even spoke to remind Lu Fan. “You must be careful. Murong Sheng is too strong. Although he hasn’t undergone his Fifth Profession Change, he has already touched upon the threshold of his Fifth Profession! Earlier, when I used the God Slaying Ballista against him, starlight appeared on his body, like a suit of armour, and blocked the God Slaying Ballista.”

“I originally wanted to release a second shot from the God Slaying Ballista, but he was too fast. He rushed forward, and with a wave of his hand, a large expanse of stars directly smashed the God Slaying Ballista to pieces!”

[Smashed it to pieces?] Lu Fan looked at the God Slaying Ballista nearby. Indeed, it had been thrown aside like trash. Naturally, there was a good reason for this.

Although it was not obvious, on the central axis of the God Slaying Ballista, one could indeed see a fracture.

This was truly strange. Logically speaking, the God Slaying Ballista was manifested by the Map Mechanics of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm and should not be destructible.

Previously, when Lu Fan threw its bolt, he had not been able to destroy the God Slaying Ballista. So, how could this thing have been destroyed by Murong Sheng?

As if seeing through Lu Fan’s thoughts, Murong Sheng slowly opened his eyes, drew all the stars around him into his body, and stood up.

“Logically speaking, even the strongest attacks would find it difficult to damage the God Slaying Ballista. However, I have already touched the threshold of my Fifth Profession. I have caught a glimpse of Divine Power. It is still imperfect for proper use. Also, though it does not improve my strength by a large degree, it allows me to do peculiar things in places like the God’s Tomb Secret Realm that ordinary people cannot do. For example, destroying the God Slaying Ballista.”

Murong Sheng possessed an elegant temperament, like an inviolable Young Master, making men feel deeply ashamed of themselves upon seeing him.

However, Lu Fan was not moved by this. After carefully considering what Murong Sheng said, he asked. “So, you could see which of the six Pillars of Light actually contains the Divine Tempering Pool from the very start?”

Murong Sheng nodded and added. “Not only that, I can also sense the location of the keys, and their fragments.”

[What the Hell!?] Lu Fan directly cursed in his heart. He immediately understood why his luck had been so terrible.

Murong Sheng had already touched the threshold of his Fifth Profession. The Fifth Profession was the limit that prohibited entry into the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

Because once one underwent their Fifth Profession Change and gained a bit of Divine Power, they would have the ability to influence some of the Map Mechanics of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

Murong Sheng’s current state was equivalent to having cheats enabled. He was merely not cheating too much, barely enough to avoid being expelled by the God’s Tomb Secret Realm.

Lu Fan was also a ‘cheater’ himself.

However, Lu Fan had the ‘invincibility cheats’ enabled, while Murong Sheng had ‘full map vision’ and ‘wall hacks’!

He knew where the key fragments were and knew which pillar of light contained the real Divine Tempering Pool. How was this whole game supposed to be played in the first place? If he wished, he could rely on his own strength to collect the keys, then be the first to open the Divine Tempering Pool and end the Secret Realm.

Unless there was someone with god level luck, who could collect keys faster than Murong Sheng and have the first Pillar of Light they went to be where the Divine Tempering Pool was located.

Otherwise, the Divine Tempering Liquid would inevitably fall into Murong Sheng’s hands.

In this case, what fairness was there to be had in this Secret Realm!?

As if seeing Lu Fan’s displeasure, Murong Sheng smiled, looking even more heart-stirring than a woman. “I know that my ability would affect the balance of the God’s Tomb Secret Realm. So, I did not rely on knowing everything to take away the Divine Tempering Liquid in advance. Instead, I guided you step by step, leading you here to meet with me.”

Lu Fan narrowed his eyes, looking Murong Sheng up and down. “So, why exactly are you doing this? You could clearly take the Divine Tempering Liquid away. Just why are you waiting for me here?”

Murong Sheng said. “I’m not interested in the Divine Tempering Liquid. What interests me is you.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan was first stunned, then felt somewhat repulsed. [Wait… this guy… don’t tell me he swings that way?]

Murong Sheng, as if not noticing the strangeness in Lu Fan’s expression, continued: “I want to fight you, to see who is stronger. If you lose, I’ll take the Divine Tempering Liquid, and you should not hold any dissatisfaction to the outcome, right? After all, I gave you a chance, but you couldn’t grasp it yourself. If I lose, the Divine Tempering Liquid is yours, and I absolutely won’t touch it. How about it?”

As expected, the reason Murong Sheng was waiting here was to fight with Lu Fan.

[But why?] Lu Fan could not understand.

Lu Fan originally wanted to question him thoroughly, but Murong Sheng smiled. “As for the reason, if you can defeat me, I’ll naturally tell you. But if you lose, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you don’t need to know either.”

“Haha!” Lu Fan laughed, moving his fists and wrists, producing crackling sounds. “Fine! Those words are very much to my taste. Sure, if I beat you, I’ll get to know everything. If I lose, whether I know or not doesn’t matter. I see, you’ve certainly given me enough of a reason to defeat you. After all, I’m someone brimming with curiosity!”

Upon hearing this, Murong Sheng’s smile grew even brighter. “Then, let’s begin.”

As he spoke, points of starlight emerged from within his body, transforming into a sea of stars around him, enveloping him.

Immediately, the familiar feeling once again made Lu Fan aware. [Murong Sheng’s Profession Characteristics are somehow related to me!]
