I Want It All! I'll Find You Tomorrow!

"Naturally, I'll have little Jiang Xiu prioritize the Blacksmith profession; after all, it is the foundation of being a Battle Armor Master."

Mu Ye paused in his tracks, turned back, and spoke without a moment's hesitation.

Based on the production process of Battle Armor, there are currently four major professions: Blacksmith, Mecha Designer, Mecha Manufacturer, and Mecha Repairer.

A Blacksmith is essentially a prerequisite for Battle Armor, as the metals required for the armor are all forged by them. Specifically, the metals needed for four-word Battle Armor can only be forged by a Divine Craftsman.

However, the initial investment for a Blacksmith is high, and it requires immense talent from the learner. Yet, once one breaks through to become a seventh-level Saint Craftsman, they instantly become a highly sought-after asset for all major factions—it is a path of high investment, high risk, and high reward.

"Then what about Jiang Xiu's second profession? Mecha Designer, perhaps?"

Leng Yaozhu seemed to have anticipated this; her beautiful eyes flickered as she asked softly.

"That depends on Jiang Xiu's choice. Disciple, what are your thoughts?"

Mu Ye shook his head slightly, patted Jiang Xiu on the shoulder, and asked.

As long as Jiang Xiu's primary profession was Blacksmithing, he wouldn't interfere too much with the rest. Powerhouses of their caliber all possessed a deep understanding of forging to some degree, because only then could they craft Battle Armor that truly suited them.

"Master, I wish to master all three of the other professions as well."

Jiang Xiu pondered for a moment before speaking earnestly.

This was not arrogance on his part, for aside from the Mecha Repairer, the other two professions were equally vital.

If the Blacksmith is the foundation that determines the lower limit of the Battle Armor, then the Mecha Designer and Mecha Manufacturer determine its upper limit.

A major duty of a Mecha Designer is to plan the entire production process, including the required metals and the specific characteristics of every armor component. Only by mastering Mecha Design can one better craft Battle Armor that is in perfect harmony with one's own intent.

As for the Mecha Manufacturer, they are responsible for crafting the various Spirit Guidance core arrays on the armor, allowing it to resonate with the user's Martial Soul and pursue greater power.

Therefore, Jiang Xiu intended to learn all three of these professions that would dictate his future.

As for the final one, Mecha Repairer, it would be nothing more than a simple task for him.

Moreover, once he delved further into the Shadow Monarch, the most difficult profession—forging—might just become the easiest of the four for him...

"Having ambition is a good thing, but you must not become obsessed with these professions. The essence of a Spirit Master remains the improvement of one's personal strength and cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Han Tianyi frowned slightly and spoke with earnest concern, casting a sidelong glance at Mu Ye as he did so.

If Jiang Xiu also became obsessed with these side professions, the future of their Body Sect would be completely doomed. With Mu Ye as a cautionary example, Han Tianyi had to be vigilant.

"Please rest assured, Grand-Uncle-Master, I understand all of this."

Jiang Xiu said with a sincere expression.

The continent was relatively calm for now, but in a few years, various great wars would erupt across the land. He had to possess sufficient strength to navigate and scheme through them.

He had already secretly marked the locations of certain opportunities in his heart, waiting only for his strength to grow so he could claim them.

"That is good. Don't follow your master's example. I am stationed at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters; if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation, you can come to find me at any time."

Seeing Jiang Xiu's attitude, the weight on Han Tianyi's heart lifted slightly, and he added this final remark.

"It is a good thing that little Jiang Xiu has such ambition. In the future, we can exchange what we have. I have a meeting to attend shortly, so I won't see you out; the street has already been cleared for you in advance."

Leng Yaozhu looked at Jiang Xiu with a hint of surprise in her eyes. Then, her red lips curved upward, and she raised a slender arm, gesturing for them to leave.

"I have troubled you, Pagoda Master Leng."

Mu Ye thanked her and began to walk out. But just as the three of them reached the elevator and were about to depart, a crisp voice rang out.

"Boss... Jiang Xiu, I'll come to your place tomorrow to cultivate with you."

Na'er had her small hands clasped behind her back, her pink lips slightly parted, and a faint glimmer of light danced in her purple eyes as she called out softly.

Jiang Xiu paused, but without turning back, he waved his hand and chuckled.

"Alright, you're welcome."

Ding!

The elevator doors opened. The three of them stepped inside, the doors closed once more, and the elevator began to rise slowly.

"Na'er, what are you thinking about? Jiang Xiu has already left."

Watching the silver strand of hair on top of Na'er's head stand up once again, Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes filled with amusement as she rubbed Na'er's small head and asked.

"Nothing, nothing at all!"

"I was just thinking about how to surpass Jiang Xiu and become the boss. After all, as your disciple, I can't let Jiang Xiu keep suppressing me forever."

Na'er waved her small hands hurriedly, a faint blush staining her fair, pretty face. She hooked her arm through Leng Yaozhu's and giggled.

"You, you're such a mischievous little thing."

Leng Yaozhu extended a slender, elegant finger and tapped Na'er on the forehead.

"By the way, Master, why did you ask Jiang Xiu about his future professions earlier?"

Na'er tilted her small head, asking in confusion.

"Naturally, it was for your sake. Jiang Xiu's master has a close friend whose status is unmatched by almost anyone on the entire continent."

"Sect Master Mu will certainly invite that person to teach Jiang Xiu forging. You will need to learn forging as well, so that by following Jiang Xiu and listening to that person's teachings, you can lay the foundation for your own future Battle Armor."

Leng Yaozhu rubbed Na'er's head, took her hand, and walked outside, speaking in a gentle tone.

"So that's how it is. Thank you, Master."

Na'er's delicate nose twitched slightly at these words, ripples of emotion stirring in her beautiful eyes.

"What are you thanking me for? Since I've taken you as my disciple, it's only natural that I raise you properly. Whatever others have, I won't allow you to go without."

Leng Yaozhu chuckled, though a hint of overbearing dominance leaked through her tone.

Is this forced love... Master is mighty!

Na'er waved her dainty fist in delight, though a strange feeling welled up deep inside her—something she had never experienced before. It was very warm...

"Alright, from now on, this street belongs to our Body Sect. Little Xiu, you're going to be the flashiest guy on this street from here on out."

Looking at the bustling street before him, Mu Ye waved his hand grandly and declared. This was the territory Leng Yaozhu had gifted to their Body Sect.

"Let's go. Tower Master Leng has already made the arrangements. That largest area at the very end is perfect for us to establish our Body Sect headquarters."

Han Tianyi walked forward, with Jiang Xiu following closely behind, his gaze constantly sweeping over the shops on both sides.

Tower Master Leng truly has great resolve.

With a slight sigh of admiration in his heart, Jiang Xiu thought to himself.

In Shrek City, the annual revenue of a street like this was immeasurable; it was like a golden beast. Furthermore, even without counting the revenue, the real estate value of this area alone would be enough to fill their coffers to the brim.

Yet Leng Yaozhu had gifted it directly to their Body Sect; the magnitude of her resolve was clear to see.
