Transcendent Dawn

ꨡ[6Ba~oA}2: Chapter 0772: Reading (Seeking Subscriptions) Chapter 772: Chapter 0772: Reading (Seeking Subscriptions) “Heave…

Ho…”

In the early morning, a young man was breaking a sweat as he exercised.

The sunlight fell on him, illuminating his bronze-colored skin and making him look like a deity cast from copper and iron.

Splash!

After his workout, he picked up a bucket of water close by and poured it over his head, then carefully dried the droplets with a towel.

He then donned a white robed tunic and approach a room, knocking on the door.

“Tutor!” he called out.

“Ah, Jupiter, do come in,” responded the voice of Su Lu from inside.

Jupiter pushed the door open to find his tutor reclining in a chair, puffing on a pipe, surrounded by rows upon rows of densely packed bookshelves.

“The same routine as usual today,” Su Lu uttered.

Jupiter nodded and quietly sat down, opening a book, and starting to read silently.

This was his learning method over the past few years.

Even for the application of ‘Superstring’, Tutor Turing did not directly teach him but tossed him a book to read.

…

Elsewhere, Su Lu watched the scene with a thoughtful gaze.

‘From the teachings of Creation Time, I’ve come to understand that the professional path I hold is a kind of constraint.

Even if imparting it to them yields potential, it only goes up to the ninth level at most!’

‘In order to create a creator, one must forge his own path.’

Moreover, isn’t it dull to use an old system in the new world?

Thus, Su Lu was preparing to establish a brand new Transcendent System.

Of course, this wasn’t something he could conjure by snapping his fingers, but required the efforts of countless generations stacked upon the brilliant flashes of insight from numerous geniuses.

The cumulative effect might even be better than inference from the attribute column.

Therefore, Su Lu let his disciple do as they please, allowing him to read and learn on his own.

Futhermore, the majority of books in his collection were the results of domestic knowledge, meticulously studied and catalogued by the previous generation of Sea Tribe and countless scholars, rather than Su Lu’s own knowledge.

Even ‘Superstring’, was enlightenment from the Acute Angle Monument not instruction from him.

‘Perhaps because of this, at the age of nineteen, Jupiter is only at the third level.

While a breakthrough to the fourth level is possible, it’s hard to open the door to the Legend…

after all, the system of the Super String Warrior is too crude…’

Su Lu mused to himself.

Time slipped away in the rustle of reading.

A few hours later, Jupiter closed the book in his hands, “Tutor, I have a question.”

“Speak.”

Su Lu put down his pipe, seemingly just awoken from a deep sleep.

“It’s about the Mercenary Guild…”

Jupiter began to explain.

The Mercenary Guild, also known as the ‘Adventurer’s Guild’, was a new venture that emerged in the Kingdom of Hormone in recent years.

At first, it was established by Heraclitus and other unemployed veterans who were swayed by Su Lu.

They undertook mercenary jobs and gradually expanded to several city-states.

Eventually, they even obtained the ‘Superstring’ training method and had the power to cultivate their own Super String Warriors.

At present, Heraclitus, as the Guild Master of the Mercenaries, holds a singular status in the City of Black Sack that even the City Lord Knight has to give due consideration.

“The guild has grown increasingly large and is facing covert resistance from all sides…

Yesterday, the City Lord assigned a very difficult task, and my father doesn’t know what to do…”

Jupiter looked at his tutor expectantly.

In all the years that passed, the Mercenary Guild had encountered numerous troubles, all of which were overcome with the wisdom of the tutor.

He believed that this time would be no different.

“What is it exactly?” Su Lu then asked.

“Purge a group of half-human, half-horse beasts that have roamed into our vicinity…” Jupiter recounted the mission.

“Centaurs, huh?

They seem to have fled from the North…” Su Lu sighed, “If the North is in chaos, the South won’t fare well either.

War will eventually come to this continent…”

Jupiter had a confused look on his face.

I am just here to ask about the mission, how did it turn into a continental war?

Whack!

He was hit hard on the head by Su Lu’s pipe.

“What half-human, half-horse beasts, didn’t you read your Beastman History?

They are a faction of the Beastmen—the Centaurs!

If Beastmen are running rampant here, do you think war is still far off?”

Scolded Su Lu.

“They are not beasts, but Beastmen?”

Jupiter rubbed his forehead, understanding, “I’ve only read descriptions in books and haven’t seen them in person, how was I supposed to know they were here?”

“The Centaurs are a threat to the city-states, and the City Lord has tasked the mercenaries to exterminate them; you guys cannot avoid it…

must go,” Su Lu paused, “The Mercenary Guild has done too well these past few years and it’s normal to face concerted suppression from all sides…

You guys cannot show defiance at this time, or refuse the task, or else you’ll be giving people an excuse…

but there’s also no need to worry, the situation will soon be different.”

“Where will it be different?” Jupiter asked.

“War…@@novelbin@@

is about to come.

The appearance of the Centaurs is a harbinger…” Su Lu chuckled, “The city-states’ warriors are slack in their armament, and they can only rely on the power of the Mercenary Guild.

By then, everything will be different.”

“So that’s how it is.

So, we should bear with it for now and wait for the situation to change?”

Jupiter is deep in thought, but also worried, “But war will destroy everything, civilians will suffer, and the Guild may be the first to be sacrificed…””These are all normal, but in a society with stable order, the Mercenary Guild has already develop to its peak and cannot advance further…

but the onset of war can break all the rules and order, and your father’s wish might be able to come true,” Su Lu hinted.

Heraclitus, this old soldier’s greatest wish, was to build a brand-new city-state and become a noble lord.

Previously, this was almost impossible, despite him being the Guild Master of the Mercenaries.

But with the arrival of war, everything would change.

“Become a noble?”

Jupiter clenched his fist, “As long as I can break through, become a ‘Hero’, that would be a matter of course…”

“Haha, just a mere city-state; you shouldn’t underestimate yourself.

As you said, as long as you reach the fourth level, that’s all a given.

It’s not an ambition, just a small target in your plan,” Su Lu said.

“Many historical kings had humble beginnings.

For example, the most famous early Human King, Rite, was only a slave.

Your starting point is much higher than his.”

“T-Tutor…” Jupiter’s voice trembled.

“Are…

are you asking that I become a ‘King’?”

It had to be said that those words fired up his internal flame.

But many years later, Jupiter still couldn’t forget the expression on his tutor’s face when he said that.

Su Lu chuckled and shook his head, “A King…

compared to a truly grand ambition, what is that really?”
