“You’re saying…you deciphered information from an accidental discovery of a

Transcendent’s corpse, leading you to a clue about the occupation of a [Spiritual Medium]?”

Inside the abandoned factory.

Playing with the diamond-shaped iron piece graced with the motif of a snake-tail, Rod stared at Su Lu curiously.

“Indeed, do you recognize this badge?”

Having confirmed no hostility from Rod via the attribute bar, Su Lu asked with ease, “or any clue about this emblem?”

“Not any…”

After some thought, Rod shook his head: “You have to know…recently, there have been too many emerging organizations to keep track of…Besides, notorious evil organizations from history would certainly reinvent themselves with a new name, the emblems naturally would change along too!”

‘So, those infamous evil gods and evil beings…tend to use aliases?’

Su Lu got it: “So what’s your opinion on the profession of a…[Spiritual Medium]?”

“I have only heard of [Spiritual Media] in passing. They can communicate with the dead, banish evil spirits or summon lingering souls to possess a body, and solve some puzzles…”

Scratching his head, Rod continued: “But they are mysterious…or rather, the profession is too rare, such a hidden profession may seem powerful at first, but could create problems in the future.”

That is to say, you don’t strongly support my idea.

Secretly rolling his eyes, Su Lu asked: “Any clues about the occupation of an

[Apprentice]?”

At the mention of this, Rod seemed a bit uncomfortable: “I have been in touch with the Goddess Church through channels left by our family, they were pleased with the return of the Pottery family, but if you want to acquire the profession of an [Apprentice], you must join the church’s powerful departments…or complete certain tasks for them.”

That’s completely different from the ease you mentioned before.

Shrugging, Su Lu responded: “It seems…they appreciate you as a [Demon

Hunter] more! But…l don’t agree with you taking risks for my initiation!”

After all, having taken over his younger brother’s body upon his arrival, he felt somewhat guilty, how could he have the audacity to continue letting others riclz fnr hirn?

“It’s not much of a problem…” Rod’s eyes softened slightly: “After all, I often took on quests back home… the Goddess Church just happens to be a rather unconventional yet affluent client with many jobs. Besides… as a [Demon Hunter], excluding basic needs, I need a large amount of transcendent materials to forge Demon Hunting weapons, refill ammunition, and create healing potions!”

All of this requires money – or, put differently, a hefty sponsor.

Taking a breath, Su Lu asked: “So, you’ve accepted?”

“Yes, I’ve agreed!”

Giving back the diamond-shaped iron badge, Rod declared: “There’s a mission tonight, I think it’s a good opportunity for you to practice, so…you’re also coming along!”

“What?”

Surprised, Su Lu pointed at himself: “Me?”

“Of course…” Rod said matter-of-factly: “I can’t always be there to protect you; you need to develop your ability to handle danger…As the dawn gradually approaches, more and more evil beings shall awaken. Eventually, even the gods will awaken, did you think you could escape?”

“So, I should seize this opportunity to accumulate experience while the initially harmless creatures may not be too fearsome? I agree.”

After some thought, Su Lu agreed at once.

Being Rod’s assistant, there would be relative safety, and he could gain experience points!

As soon as I reach 200, I’ll immediately take office as a [Spiritual Medium], and we’ll see if you can still exchange [Apprentice]! They won’t make me dual-class at first-tier, will they?

Counting secretly, Rod suddenly tossed him a hunting gun: “Catch!”

“This is…”

He carefully inspected the weapon in his hand.

With its double barrel, the sleek long black body, the polished rosewood seat, the weighty feel, along with the finely crafted factory emblem and number, each detail spoke to its exceptional quality.

Every man has a longing for weapons in his heart.

At that moment, Su Lu felt an immediate fondness for the gun.

“There might be danger on tonight’s mission, so you’ll need to protect yourself! ”

Rod tossed over a bag of bullets: “Practice well this afternoon!”

“Just this afternoon?” Su Lu’s eyes widened.

“With your aptitude and memory, it won’t be a problem…Besides…refilling with special bullets is expensive! ”

While explaining, Su Lu felt the latter was Rod’s main reason.

“And…” Rod squeezed out a thin smile on his rugged face: “This is a shotgun, it has a short range and is tedious to reload, but it shoots in a spread pattern. As long as you choose the right timing, even a kid could hit a target!”

“Why don’t you give me a revolver instead? The one with six bullets?”

Protesting with some resentment, Su Lu said, “If I carry such a big thing down the street without a license, it will definitely attract public attention.”

“Sorry, there’s a limited budget!”

Rummaging through his box, Rod took out a delicate revolver and carefully polished it as if it was his lover.

Seeing the silver body of the gun along with the engraving of an exotic pattern, Su Lu couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

What a splendid gun. At the low-tier Transcendent stage, Transcendents, even with their life force transformed, still have weaknesses and can be eliminated by a group of well-trained ordinary people with firearms. Like Catherine and the unfortunate Yalanis, for example.

The methods of a [Spiritual Medium] can mostly only deal with spiritual

beings and, otner tnan basic spiritual power usage, tney nave virtually no means of self-defense. Their vulnerabilities and life force seem similar to an ordinary person’s, no wonder they die once exposed, being laid siege by a group of commoners.

In contrast, the [Shadow Binder]’s combat abilities might be a little superior, and their life force a bit tougher, but the outcome remains the same.

Rod, however, already a second-tier Demon Hunter, has had his essences twice improved through a ritual, and his speed, strength, and life force are all non-human. I even suspect, as long as vital areas such as the heart or brain aren’t targeted, no matter how severe the injury, he can recover quickly.

Su Lu eyed Rod up and down, contemplating how a commoner could stand a chance against such a being.

Without a doubt, this kind of Transcendent, picking a guerrilla fight in a city would spell disaster for any ordinary regime.

Of course, if they confronted an army head-on, the outcome wouldn’t be any better.

“What are you thinking about?”

Rod suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

“N…Nothing!”

Laughing, Su Lu changed the topic: “So…what’s our mission tonight?”

My shotgun is already champing at the bit.

“A demon minion, a dimwit attracted to a demon, might have even summoned a Little Demon Monster!”

Shrugging, Rod said: “They are the most common type of demonized creatures and are quite easy to deal with..”
