Chapter 562: Chapter 307: The Adventuring Party’s First Battle, the Unyielding Warrior·Shusdek Bound by Fate

"Huff~ Teacher, didn’t you say that Saints can’t enter the realm of adventure?" Rein asked curiously, after collecting the body of a monster he had just slain.

It had been three months since Gu Shanhai had lured them here. During these three months, they not only had to study under Gu Shanhai but also gather intelligence, make plans, and so on.

It was probably the most relaxing time in Rein’s life, considering all these tasks used to be done by him alone, and now he had the help of his adventuring team. Even though the team members were initially not used to his pace and seemed a bit clumsy, they had grown gradually.

With Gu Shanhai’s guidance, his originally immature system was also becoming increasingly systematic.

"It’s probably because I’m incomplete," Gu Shanhai sighed.

Hearing this, Rein also fell silent. He had his guesses; he knew that Saints were mysterious and powerful, never the kind to mingle with the common people like Gu Shanhai seemed to do.

In his eyes, it was likely that something had happened to Gu Shanhai, which was why he was in this state.

And the solution should lie within these five adventure realms.

However, what Gu Shanhai called incomplete actually referred to him being a Saint in name only, possessing the title without the corresponding abilities.

As for abilities, he was still in the process of crafting them.

Yes, making them now.

He had just intercepted a thread of Divine Power that had leaked from the remnants of a God of Destiny’s End after slaughtering the monster.

"Then, Teacher, do you have any research on the Tower of Destiny?" Rein knew it was not a good idea to continue the previous topic, so he changed the subject.

"Nope, didn’t you already ask me?" Gu Shanhai replied. These things didn’t concern him much.

"Yeah, right, huh? The profession dropped." Rein suddenly exclaimed with joy. The monster they had killed this time was a lord monster from the first level of the Tower of Destiny, so if it dropped a profession, it was bound to be a high-level one.

The Tower of Destiny had normal monsters, elite monsters, and lord monsters on each level, and each time one reached the tenth floor, in addition to the previous three types, a Primordial Lord Monster would appear, the kind that could drop Divine Favored Professions.

"Destruction Demon Spirit Warrior, a warrior-class job advancement certificate; this high-level profession should be worth quite a few Gold Coins," Rein said. He wasn’t actually excited about this profession, because everyone can only have one profession in their lifetime. There were ways to change or replace it, but such items were extremely rare, only possibly dropped by the final Primordial Lord upon first clearing an adventure realm.

"Oh, do you mind if I take a look?" Gu Shanhai asked.

Rein handed it over without hesitation, meaning to gift it to Gu Shanhai.

He held a great deal of respect for Gu Shanhai, as the past three months of tutelage had shown him that Gu Shanhai was a true Saint, not a do-nothing imposter.

"Interesting." Gu Shanhai found that the job advancement certificate seemed to be very close to him, and he was able to interfere and modify it to a certain extent.

Perhaps it was related to his identity.

After all, this Tower of Destiny and all its theoretical outputs were the remnants of his ’past life,’ and more importantly, this ’past life’ wasn’t so long ago.

"If you can gather the Divine Favored Level professions that correspond to theirs, I can help them upgrade their professions to Divine Favored Level. For instance, a warrior has to correspond with a warrior and a Mage with a mage," Gu Shanhai said.

During these three months, with Gu Shanhai acting as a mole, Rein was quickly won over, deepening their bond.

As long as there were many bonds in place, even if Rein knew the truth, he would loyally work for Gu Shanhai.

"Really, I will do my best," said Rein, now burdened with the responsibility of family, he was certainly very happy.

The so-called corresponding professions, for example, Demon Giant Swordsman fundamentally belonged to the warrior class, while Little Elf Element Master was a Mage class.

"The Tower of Destiny has one hundred levels and ten Primordial Lords; if we’re lucky, we might handle it by the fortieth level!" Rein estimated and felt hopeful about the future.

Of course, even if the Tower of Destiny didn’t yield what they needed, there were still five adventure realms.

"You’re so confident you can clear it? Not to mention, for a large adventure realm, you need at least a team of LV10 comrades to pass through, whether it’s you or your wives, none of you are at that level," Gu Shanhai reminded him.

"No problem, we can gather slowly; if necessary, we can always run multiple attempts," Rein responded sincerely, aware that the lack of strength in himself and his people was a major obstacle.

Thankfully, these three months Gu Shanhai had given them the time to grind skills, and upon using the auto-return this time, he’d be able to level up.

Though it would still be slow.

"We’ve cleared the first level, shall we head to the next?" Rein asked again.

He actually was keen on having Gu Shanhai by his side, especially for his healing abilities, which were stronger than those of Lu Qing, who had the Dark Night Blood Healer profession. Lu Qing’s role was not purely healing; it also involved weakening and controlling the enemy. With slightly lesser healing and support capabilities, her primary function was to amplify before battle and heal after - during combat, her role was control and reduction.

One can’t have both fish and bear’s paw, mainly because Rein’s adventuring team was too small to have one for support and another for control. Besides, he couldn’t find them anyway, and luckily his friend Lu Qing was versed in both, even if not a master.
