Transcendent Dawn

In the bedroom.

Su Lu’s face contorted, showing a horrifying expression.

Suddenly, the whites in his pupils vanished quickly, his body jerked violently, and he woke up.

He got up and touched below his nose, unsurprisingly, he saw a fresh crimson color.

“This is what exploring the Spirit World is like… you might ascend to the heavens in one step, acquiring countless inconceivable knowledge, or you could directly encounter a disaster and inexplicably overturn. Considering my circumstances, I should consider myself lucky. At least my soul isn’t damaged, only my inspiration is exhausted… But for the next few days, it’s best not to venture into the Dream Spirit World…”

The Dream Spirit World held both risks and opportunities.

Su Lu thought that he had previously taken it too lightly.

Perhaps, after continuously reaping benefits from the Dream of the Ancient God and the Black Iron Palm, he became somewhat arrogant.

The Spirit World carriage had given him an unforgettable lesson.

This was the norm in the Dream Spirit World!

“Some marvels possess the ability to traverse the Spirit World… but, unfortunately, I currently don’t even have the qualification to stand before a Spirit World carriage…”

Thinking of that vast power, Su Lu couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile, with a hint of longing.

One day, he too would stand atop the Spirit World, becoming a similarly great, or even higher, existence.

The next day, in Isaac’s apartment.

“Haha… I am a [Shepherd] now!”

Isaac couldn’t wait to demonstrate his ability in front of Su Lu: “Look… I’m so strong!”

He bent his arm and showed off his bicep.

Su Lu gave him a quick once over and had to admit that Isaac had initially been more of the weak type. But becoming a [Shepherd] had completely changed his physique, making him robust, every movement of his full of wildness.

“When I walk on campus now, all heads turn, three cheerleaders from the football team have given me notes, including their captain… Haha!”

Isaac boasted proudly.

In the campuses of the White Eagle Federation, football players were the popular guys amongst the boys, the kind who could swagger around. In contrast, the cheerleaders were the most beautiful batch of girls, mostly having someone to call their own.

Su Lu imagined Isaac would be beaten sooner or later, but considering Isaac should be able to handle himself, he didn’t worry.

“What else?”

Su Lu was thinking about the introduction to [Shepherd].

“My physical capabilities have been greatly enhanced, my sense of smell has become incredibly sharp… and… I can more or less communicate with animals, understand the meanings behind their calls, although it does require some guessing and experience…”

Isaac squatted down and rubbed Hallock’s doghead: “Haha… Hallock, you must obey me from now on, understand? Eh? You dare to resist?”

“Woof woof!”

The next moment, man and dog were scrapping, fighting for the future right to rule over the house.

‘Mmm… It looks like Isaac still cannot suppress Hallock completely… but it’s much better than before…’

‘If he wants to truly control Hallock, he needs to reach the status of at least [Wolf Shepherd]… but that’s none of my business.’

Su Lu smiled at the scene: “Alright… Seeing how much you two love each other, I can leave at ease. Mr. Isaac, I’ll be on my way.”

Having done all this, he no longer felt any attachment to this city.

“Ah… You’re leaving?”

“Mr. Sean, please… help me out!”

Behind him, Isaac was still calling out for help, only to be suppressed by Erha.

Su Lu exited the apartment, looked at the sky, and took a deep breath.

He stared at his own palm and with a flip, a stack of trick cards appeared.

‘I can… begin.’

The next few days were rather tranquil.

The biggest news in the city should be about the disappearance of the heir of the Dougweir family. However, it was suppressed by numerous family members and did not cause any ripples.

Only Transcendents knew that under the calm city night, there laid a myriad of undercurrents.

Boom!

The factory site suddenly exploded into flames.

Two groups of people who took advantage of the night crossed paths here and began a silent slaughter.

“They’re Dougweir’s family’s hunting dogs!”

A Black Windcoat from The Eleventh Bureau sneered: “They’re too unbridled…”

“Because there’s no direct evidence to prove that they are affiliated with them! In Lore city, we are very limited…”

Horatio, holding a shotgun, pulled the trigger, and a shower containing extraordinary strength covered a vast area up ahead. Some invisible humanoid beasts emerged and fell to the ground, twitching with a green pus oozing from them.

He lifted the monocle he was wearing: “Confirmed that the Dougweir family breeds a large number of ‘Dog People’ and ‘Invisible Men’… compatible with their possession of the [Beast Shepherd] path… However, the true Dougweir pursues a different path.”

In the intelligence of The Eleventh Bureau, although the Dougweir family had the [Beast Shepherd] inheritance, this was not their main approach.

Their actual profession was a branch of the [Apprentice] path—— [Purple Robe Mage]!

The first three steps were the same as [Apprentice], [Law Toucher], and [Mage], but at the fourth step, they chose a special progression path through rituals to worship some secret entities, gaining the power of ‘Purple Flame’.

As a result, the fourth-tier vocational practitioners from the Dougweir family were stronger than the typical members of that tier. This cemented their status amongst the Transcendent nobility.

“This is an ambush! We retreat immediately!”

Horatio used his monocle to look around and swiftly issued a command.

Boom!

Just at that moment, a terrifying oppression suddenly descended.

His breaths grew unsteady, and his memory seemed to hark back to his childhood, when he had encountered a rabid dog with red eyes on the country roads.

A feeling of powerlessness and insignificance sprouted in his heart.

“Such a strong oppression, has a fourth-tier vocational human come out? How dare they?”

Horatio’s eyes grew wide.

The very next moment, exclamations of surprise and screams of horror came from the opposing camp.

He saw the opposing vocational humans fell like mowed wheat, and this trend quickly spread to The Eleventh Bureau’s side.

‘There…is a third-party powerhouse intervening!’

He desperately wanted to send out a warning, but found his hands trembling.

At the same time, an inexpressible fear suddenly invaded his mind!

“The… the enemy… is in our minds!”

Horatio managed to force out these words, a look of utmost horror on his face: “It’s a specialist vocational person, who has taken both sides as his prey.”

However, that was as far as they got.

Just a few seconds later, Horatio felt his mind defense be shattered, a feeling akin to the shame of standing in a crowded square without clothes enveloped him.

Not only that, but a feeling of extreme weakness also suddenly spread through his body!

His vision went dark, and he uncontrollably fainted.

This was the aftereffect of depleting his transcendent power!
