Su Lu checked himself and found that although his injuries were severe, his strength based on his skills and passivity would not make him inferior to any third-tier expert.

‘More importantly, the knowledge I gained from this Dream of the Ancient God has dramatically increased my knowledge of the mysterious arts… enough to almost pretend to be the [Mysterious Master]…’

The [Mysterious Master] is proficient in various rituals and mysterious knowledge, capable of using the minimal power and the most appropriate plan to solve the problems at hand.

This is the manifestation of knowledge is power! 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

For example, yesterday, Isaac and the others’ actions were enough to appease most of the revenants if Hallock had not taken the treasure of the other party.

Su Lu felt that he could do the same.

In his contemplation, the six of them left the wilderness and arrived at a small town. They hired a public horse-drawn carriage to reach a nearby train station, then took a steam train back to Lore City.

All along the way, Elizabeth and Diana were very curious about Su Lu. Their enthusiasm made both James and John jealous, and it was written all over their faces.

However, Su Lu kept a poker face and remained single on the basis of strength.

Lore City, the steam train station.

“Alright, let’s part ways here, thank you for your help!”

Su Lu sincerely thanked Isaac and the others, after all, they had bought his steam train ticket for him.

“It’s nothing…We’re at Grammar University, come hang out with us when you’re free!”

Elizabeth and Diana immediately responded.

Watching Su Lu’s figure disappear into the crowd, Isaac, hugging Hallock, breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been afraid that Su Lu, a mysterious man with mysterious powers, would covet his beloved Erha.

In fact, Su Lu was indeed interested in Hallock, after all, he is an extraordinary creature.

But he wasn’t so ungrateful as to return kindness with ingratitude yet.

“Alright, let’s go back too!”

Seeing their rival disappear, James and John also breathed a sigh of long relief.

Just then, their eyes suddenly widened, seeing a jaw-dropping scene:

Hallock seemed to have held it in on the train for too long. As soon as he found a cement pillar, he lifted his right leg.

—This was not a big deal, at the most he would be stopped by the cleaning staff and fined a penalty.

But Isaac’s expression suddenly became dumbfounded, and he actually imitated Hallock and lifted one of his legs.

“No…”

“Oh god…”

The next moment, the ladies’ shrieks of surprise and consecutive screams filled the air.

James and John, with faces flushed with embarrassment, grabbed Isaac and ran off quickly from the train station with the two ladies, whose faces were as red as apples. They disappeared into the crowd amidst the hysterical shouting of the cleaning staff.

Behind them, Hallock was running happily, wagging his tail from time to time.

Su Lu found Lore City slightly familiar.

Walking in the streets, the fashion style of the men and women seemed vaguely familiar to him.

“Hmmm… men’s white shirts with jeans, and women’s dresses with colored ribbon hats… It should be the popular style on the West Coast as rumored…”

“What I need to do now is first secure an identity, then rent an apartment to recuperate slowly… Maybe, I can also make contact with the local Transcendent circle, buy some materials to concoct potions… And yes, find a space artifact…”

This time, apart from the important belongings he carried with him, almost all his other possessions were lost. He learned a lesson from this and must gain experience.

“If it doesn’t work out… I’ll make one myself, but that requires materials, ones that are filled with mysterious power and possess spatial properties…”

“This is hard to come by, it can only be a long-term task…”

“And securing an identity, renting an apartment, purchasing Transcendent materials, all require money! And… I had promised that I would repay Isaac and the others…”

Su Lu passed a luxurious restaurant, and seeing the suave gentlemen and elegant ladies inside through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he felt tempted but immediately shook his head. “No…no, it’s not time to use the Heart Trick… besides, not everywhere has fat sheep like Billy!”

Billy had been assigned by his family to oversee a merger and acquisition case in Nia City.

As his local relationships were simple, Su Lu was able to insert a tampered memory forcefully. As long as he could deceive everyone around him, there would be no issue.

But in a strange city, the relationships within the upper circle were fixed!

The addition of a stranger is as obvious as a prey that falls into a spider’s web!

Because there were too many people familiar with the target, and the memory Su Lu planted could not cover everything, it was very likely to be found flawed, arousing suspicion and danger.

“Moreover… I can’t be sure if these wealthy people are maybe protected by Occupational Persons… if so, I’m not in a state suitable for fighting or escaping…”

“Maybe… I should go back to my old profession.”

Su Lu planned to use his knowledge of the mysterious arts to earn some money and get close to the local Transcendent circle.

He was somewhat regretful now.

Isaac and the others seemed to be well-off, perhaps he should have accepted their invitation and stayed with them for a while?

“But it seems that ever since I obtained the attribute bar and took office as an Occupational Person, things have never been calm around me. I better not bring any trouble to them…”

Su Lu sighed.

He felt that he seemed to be getting more and more distant from the world of ordinary people.

Even an occasional intersection could potentially bring trouble to them.

Just then, he furrowed his brows, sensing that he was being watched.

He came to a shop and, using the reflection in the glass, saw the two men who were following him.

Both were burly men in their thirties or forties, clad in ragged clothes with fierce expressions.

‘Thieves? Those who specifically target strangers?’

Su Lu could not help but laugh, ‘Indeed… my previous behavior was just like a lost lamb. In their eyes, I must be the best prey.’

He patted his empty pocket and walked towards a secluded street.

In his senses, the two men behind him quickened their pace.

Su Lu pretended to panic and run randomly. He went into a dead end.

It was a street with a wall at the end, empty with no one else.

He turned around and saw the two men from before, with grinning faces, closing in. “Kid… you can’t run away. Hand over your wallet!”

“I believe it should be me saying that!”

Su Lu looked at his fist and a smile appeared on his face.

The next moment.

In the alley, a terrifying roar suddenly echoed.

Language of Arrogance!

It was like two axes, ruthlessly splitting open the heads of the two men in front of him, then embedding burning hot iron pieces into it.

In less than three seconds, both men were clutching their heads, writhing and screaming on the ground, their faces twisting to the extreme.
