328: Chapter 308: Four Roads 328: Chapter 308: Four Roads “There are four paths that can help you solve the problem.” When it comes to the inheritance and advancement of battle-professions, both the parties involved and their mentors must treat it seriously. At Teacher Li’s request, Lu Ping’an revealed a portion of his battle-related intelligence, including the basic characteristics of his two Silver-tier equipment and his career abilities. He wasn’t worried about any leaks, as the school and professors were bound by contract and couldn’t reveal specific student information. At most, they could only make vague statements like, “This student is difficult to defeat,” or “My student can defeat both of yours.” When the division of professors received Lu Ping’an’s detailed information, they were stunned. Is this really an ability a student should have? “…So this is what a first-class Gold Badge looks like?” After several discussions, they came up with equivalent services, offering four methods…four ways to counteract the problem. “The simplest and cheapest solution is to treat this lance as a club or pole. You have a 2-tier Soldier, so getting a part-time job as a Weapon Master shouldn’t be difficult. I’ll help you obtain two sets of fighting tactics, and you should be able to make do with that.” This was precisely the result Lu Ping’an had anticipated, but Teacher Lu Dechun was unsatisfied. If an ordinary student had come up with this idea, he would have recommended this plan. It wasn’t just a matter of service level but mainly because of its low cost. With some effort, students should be able to barely complete it. Stronger plans meant more cultivation time and cost, as well as corresponding professional requirements. Other students might need years to complete them. Teacher Lu’s words surprised Lu Ping’an. Were there other choices? He must be an expert after all. “The second approach is a variant of the first one. Treating the lance as a club or pole is mainly due to its unusual size. It’s too long and large for a person of standard stature, but what if you change your physique? If you become a small giant, you may be able to use long lance techniques with this weapon.” This was when the value of old experience manifested. Teacher Lu not only pointed out the direction but also provided a practical execution plan. Increasing one’s physique could be accomplished by gourmets, but that level of “gourmet” food is usually too expensive for regular consumption. Teacher Lu recommended the “Shapeshifter” path, a unique path that allows one to alter their physical form, transforming into the Exotic Races, giant beasts, or Magic Monsters. However, Lu Ping’an shook his head. He couldn’t take this path because “Shapeshifters” belong to the Life system, which is incompatible with the “Gourmet” path. These two paths both involved modifying one’s physical abilities and belonged to the Life system, but their intrinsic differences made them irreconcilable. On a side note, many talents with transformation abilities choose this path, as “transforming into a Beast” is stronger than “becoming a Beast.” Also, Lu Ping’an didn’t like this path. “In that case, there’s another way for you to have a ‘giant physique.’ You can try getting a set of exoskeleton armor or Animated Armor.” Is that possible? Lu Ping’an was taken aback, but it seemed to be viable. He could ask Fang Wen to get the exoskeleton armor, and he’d seen plenty of Animated Armor in the Knight’s Secret Realm. It was indeed suitable for his “Legion Professional” positioning- wearing the thickest armor and adopting the most stable formation. “…This can be considered.” Upon hearing this, Teacher Lu smiled. He knew that if this suggestion were publicized, ordinary students would probably criticize it. “Is this even a plan without considering the cost and feasibility?” However, Lu Ping’an was genuinely considering it without any hesitation, as if all he needed was to redistribute resources and smoothly acquire it. “Young people are really something to be feared …” Although he thought so, Teacher Lu continued speaking directly. “For this path, you should borrow external power to make armor as flexible as your own body. It’s best to also have a part-time job as a ‘Tamer.'” Lu Ping’an nodded. This path was quite clear: become a Tamer while also practicing a Battle-Profession like “Lancer/Axeman” and catch up on basic courses. For a moment, Lu Ping’an even felt a little dazed. He seemed to see a silver “Gao Da” holding a lance atop a high hill, silently pointing forward as a massive army surged behind them. “…This path is not bad, it’s cool and involves mechas … cough, I mean, we can give it a shot.” Lu Dechun smiled and shared the second method. “The third way is to use it as a lance…” A lance’s purpose? Seeing Lu Dechun making a “push” gesture, Lu Ping’an was enlightened. The lance was not for slashing or smashing people; it was meant for “impact.” It was the sharp tip that the Knights used to charge, the deadly lancehead that struck the enemy formation with kinetic energy. “You need immense mobility to turn yourself and the weapon into a lance. Your Heavenly Boots can help you a lot, but there is a limit to external power. Maybe you should go further on the Runner path.” At this moment, Lu Ping’an remembered someone. That shadow sprinting back and forth within the “Ice Mirror,” relying on an excellent weapon and the power of a Runner to accelerate and charge, repeatedly dashing and colliding. That wasn’t Lei Huoren’s personal strength but the favorite and most familiar tactic of Runners, using high speed and a good weapon to solve many problems. With the Heavenly Boots, taking this path would be quite easy. “…This path seems to work.” After pondering for a while, Lu Ping’an felt that he had enough basic hardware, and there wasn’t even a need for additional jobs. What he needed was to take a step further as a Runner and undergo specialized training. The power of the lance itself could also bring about immense destructive power in the moment of impact. Moreover, “destructive power,” especially the sudden burst of power against a Giant Body, was precisely what Lu Ping’an needed at the moment. “Runners? Even dogs won’t train for that!” However, on the other side, Big Cat got into trouble again. “The fourth path still involves the primary job of the lance. You mentioned having a powerful Magic Monster subordinate, right…” Lu Ping’an immediately understood; this was likely either the “Tamer” path or the Beast Tamer path. Driving a Magic Monster and becoming a Demon Cavalry would naturally make it possible to use this lance. Is it possible? It seemed like it. The “Life Illustration” could provide Magic Monsters suitable for various battlefields, and the “Cavalry” path was perfect for the Legion-type role positioning. After finishing speaking, Lu Dechun didn’t ask further. He smiled as he watched Lu Ping’an struggle with his choices, a journey that every professional must go through. Each path had its unique and charismatic scenery. Choosing one meant missing out on the others. Teacher Lu Dechun enjoyed watching the students’ struggles, the happy troubles of young people who still had the opportunity to choose and hesitate between paths… “Each path can lead to greater heights. There’s no distinction in the level of the paths themselves, but people do have limits and time is limited. Make a decision as soon as possible… Huh?” Teacher Lu Dechun’s surprise was reasonable as he saw Lu Ping’an suddenly smile, a calm and enlightened expression in his eyes. “You’ve already decided so quickly? Don’t want to think more? There’s no rush. Sharpening the knife doesn’t delay the work of cutting wood, and it’s worth taking some time to make such major choices in your professional life. Rash decisions can lead to regrets later…” Now, it was Teacher Lu who was getting anxious. Lu Ping’an shook his head resolutely, his will set and his mind made up. “I won’t regret it because…” With calm confidence, the young man uttered an incomprehensible absurdity. “…I want them all!”
