Transcendent Dawn

Amidst the rigorous training and study, time swiftly moved into August.

This was the recruitment season for St. George’s University, and as a graduate like Su Lu, who tenaciously lingered taking advantage of the dormitory’s resources, it was impossible for him to stay any longer.

Fight Club.

“Congratulations on your graduation!”

Donald enthusiastically gave Su Lu a hug: “Also… Your scholarship, along with that ‘reward’, are all here!”

“It’s finally arrived!”

Having received his rewards over half a month later, Su Lu made a sarcastic remark and couldn’t wait to look at the table.

Twenty Golden Dragons were stacked thickly in his wallet, filling it up and making it bulge with a sense of abundance.

For most ordinary people, this was a considerable fortune.

But Su Lu’s attention was mostly on a handwritten copy lying beside it. “Professor Yarannis’s study on the Gulam language!”

Donald pushed the thick notebook forward: “This is the truncated version. Some sensitive and dark content has been removed by the church staff… I also made a copy! It’s been a great gain!”

“Of course!”

Looking at the characters twisted like snakes in the notebook held in his hands, Su Lu said with a smile: “The Gulam language is known as the ‘oldest language’ and has a history even longer than Ancient Hebrew, possibly even extending back to the Dark Ages before the birth of human civilization… I am very interested.”

He had not been spending these past months just idling with Rod.

Although Rod didn’t comprehend Gulam language, he unreservedly shared some related knowledge.

“So… Pleasure doing business with you!”

Donald extended his hand, shaking with Su Lu: “Where do you plan to go after graduation?”

“I’ve received an invitation from the Green Tree Castle Research Institute.

This was originally his transmigration plan, but now… It seems to have completely changed.

“Green Tree Castle?”

Donald looked very shocked: “You really ought to be congratulated! I wish you every success!”

Hmm?

Something seemed off to Su Lu.

Knowing that I am going to Green Tree Castle, Donald seemed even more enthusiastic.

Could it be that the status of the Green Tree Castle in the Federation even surpasses the initial investigation?

Carrying the hefty notebook, Su Lu pondered all the way back to his dormitory.

Sean was not around, maybe still fretting over his employment. But given his personality, he could get by wherever he went.

Upon reaching his room, Su Lu closed the door and spread the Gulam language notebook on the desk.

Accompanying his reading, there was a sudden change in the property bar:

[Ding! Detected a skill book— Notes on Gulam language! Do you wish to spend 50 experience points to study it? YesNo?]

“Actually, I could learn Gulam language through prolonged study myself.

However, learning a language… is not a simple matter!”

Language learning, especially speaking, relies heavily on the foundation built during childhood. This is the key time to determine the purity of accents and cultivate instinctive use of mother tongue.

For example, Su Lu, who was a good learner of Ancient Hebrew when he was young, even now Rod couldn’t catch up with him.

Of course, later efforts are also essential—given hard work and some talent, one wouldn’t find it too challenging to master any common language.

“But… I don’t have that much time left!”

Mastering Gulam language may require several months, even half a year, and Su Lu doesn’t have that kind of spare time.

Therefore, he chose to cheat!

‘Yes!”

After a firm mental confirmation, his attribute bar immediately changed. [Expends 50 experience points, acquires Gulam Language, current level LVI!]

In an instant, Su Lu held his forehead, assimilating the additional information that came flooding in.

A kind of complicated, tongue-twisting language immediately appeared in his mind, the countless twisting black-snake -like fonts on the notebook now each had their own meanings.

“Even though I am not very proficient, reading it doesn’t pose much of a challenge! ”

Su Lu glanced at his attribute bar:

Name: [Su Lu Pottery]

Profession: [None]

Professional Rank: [o]

Title: [None]

Strength: [1.6], Agility: [1.3], Constitution: [1.2], Spirit: [1.6]

Skills: [Creation of Dead Princess LVI], [Maga fighting Skill LV5]

Passives: [Common Hebrew LV3], [basic physics LV4], [Demon Hunting Knowledge LV3], [Ancient Hebrew LV2], [Gulam Language LVI]

XP: [60]

“After half a month of rigorous training, my constitution has increased by 0.1?

Demon Hunting Knowledge has also risen by two levels?”

Su Lu was a bit exhilarated.

Do not underestimate this 0.1, for an ordinary person, who knows how much training time it would take.

His ability to increase his attributes was all thanks to Rod’s daily hellish training and, of course, the nourishment of mysterious salves and oils on his body.

At this moment, you could even see a faint ‘+’ symbol appearing next to [Gulam Language WI]!

“So passive skills can also be promoted through experience, but they need prerequisites… like Gulam language, which requires the notebook in my hand… But it can only allow me to advance to LV2 or LV3, close to Professor

Yarannis’s level!”

Su Lu was somewhat parsimonious about his experience points and did not choose to promote them.

He took a deep breath and pulled out several slightly damaged pieces of parchment – these were his finds in the sewer.

Looking at Catherine’s previous suspicions, she must have some connection with this mysterious person in the sewers!

Although his level in Gulam language was still quite low, Su Lu painstakingly managed to translate the contents of the parchment:

“January 21st, I have been lurking in Nia City for half a year, ever since my assignment from the church. Thanks to the favour of darkness, I have found two followers, Catherine and Yarannis… With this, I have successfully infiltrated St. George’s University… I believe there will be gains in the future.”

“February, Catherine is well-suited for the [Shadow Binder] profession, and I plan to make her my apprentice… As for Yalanis? Her body is not suitable for the path of shadow magic, but it is very suitable for another profession [Spirit Medium]! I’ll tailor it to her after recalling the details…”

What followed was a description of some information and rituals for promoting to the first rank of [Spirit Medium]!

“[Spirit Medium], huh?”

Su Lu looked closely, and found it was a profession specialized in dealing with spiritual bodies. The first rank [Spirit Medium] has a keen perception, can see or discern revenants and ghosts that a normal person or even a transcendent cannot see, and can allow spirits to possess them, achieving mediumship.

“Generally speaking, this is a profession specialized in dealing with spiritual bodies. It’s not good at dealing with ordinary people. There are only two offensive maneuvers, one is to use their own spirit to form a suppressing force, a kind of area attack, and the other is to transform a highly condensed spirit into a sharp spike, which can only attack one person at a time…

He immediately thought of the scene when he crossed paths with Yalanis in the little grove, she must have already entered the profession of [Spirit Medium] at that time!

“It’s just… [Spirit Medium] focus on perception and spiritual bodies, and didn’t significantly enhance physical attributes, no wonder Yalanis was the first to die when being besieged!”

Su Lu shook his head, feeling somewhat hesitant..
