My Professions Have Too Much Personality

Chapter 380 - 223: Cultivation, Marrying In?

’Once I get to the Sect, my choice of special professions will definitely have to revolve around the various Holy Professions.’

He hadn’t understood before, but after coming into contact with Holy Professions, Su Chen realized that all special professions were, in essence, preparations for them.

Su Chen’s gaze lost focus. Even with the panel right in front of him, his pupils didn’t reflect its image. ’The Life Burner has already unlocked the possibility of evolving into a Holy Profession. I just need to supplement it with enough body-type special professions.’

’However, it’s best to choose body-strengthening types to match its characteristics as closely as possible.’

Su Chen now had a basic understanding of Holy Professions. Essentially, they were formed by fusing multiple special professions of the same type with Morning Star Fire to forge a more powerful core ability.

The Phoenix, for example, evolved from injury repair to full-on resurrection.

’The Life Burner is fundamentally about body strengthening. Mixing in repair-type professions would create a mismatch in compatibility.’

’As for the Phoenix, I can only consider it an alternative. Whether I can acquire the subsequent professions will depend on the situation. Old Qing said that after I arrive at the Sect, I can choose another Holy Profession, which means I’ll have two.’

’Holy Professions also have their own specializations. I’ll need to consider them carefully when the time comes...’

Even for those at the Morning Star Tier, the number of Holy Professions one possessed was a core metric that affected their combat power.

’I wonder how many Holy Professions a Double Ninth Tier needs to rival someone at the Morning Star Tier...’ Su Chen’s thoughts continued to wander. He didn’t try to stop them, simply letting his mind run its course until, after a long while, the extraneous thoughts faded away.

Getting out of bed, Su Chen saw the bizarre, shimmering lights of the Teleportation Route outside his window. He walked over to the supply area for the Spiritual Pressure Ring—

[Word Spirit Law Master: 57%]

[Calamity Patrol Envoy: 52%]

[C-level Blazing Flame Body Refining Technique - Mastery: 70%]

[C-level Glazed Heart Lamp Meditation Method - Mastery: 10%]

After the destruction of the Copper Star, one thing happened after another, leaving him no time to properly develop his abilities. Although he didn’t have the assistance of the Spiritual Pressure Ring, he still had the Double Experience Card, so he had at least made some progress.

’I should replace both my Body Refining Technique and Meditation Technique...’ The thought flashed through Su Chen’s mind as his body was enveloped in rising crimson flames, which coursed endlessly through his pores and flesh, turning his skin scarlet.

The lamp within his Spirit Core had transformed from its initial blurry outline into what seemed like a real glazed lamp, incredibly clear and detailed down to the last minutia. It burned his Spiritual Power, continuously refining it.

...

"I never thought Hu Qi would be so ruthless."

In the flagship’s command room, Wu Feng stood before a special glass window, his brow furrowed. "But how did he find Su Chen and the others’ location?"

"And since Su Chen’s group had already reached the Meteor Region, why didn’t they come to the garrison at the Taiyue Hub?"

Qing Cang said lightly, "We’ll know once we go back and investigate. With the spiritual imprints left by Wan Chen and the others, we can find their location quickly, as long as it wasn’t deliberately blocked."

A flicker crossed Wu Feng’s eyes. "Are you implying that someone in the Sect deliberately concealed the information and notified Hu Qi in advance? Was it Venerable Qin Yun?"

Qing Cang frowned, staring at the thick-browed, wide-eyed man. He wasn’t sure what Wu Feng meant by trying to steer the conversation toward Qin Yun.

Just then, the command room’s hatch opened, and a frowning Lin Langtian walked in. His gaze immediately fell on Qing Cang. ’Truly worthy of his station in the Holy Hall,’ he thought. ’His eyes are so sharp; he noticed Su Chen’s strangeness so early on.’

’A pity... Yue’er is so resistant to it.’

But then, he heard Wu Feng’s words—

"Venerable Qin Yun wants Su Chen dead?"

Lin Langtian’s heart skipped a beat. ’What kind of sensitive topic are these two discussing now?’

He instinctively rebuked, "Martial Hall Master, how can you say such a thing so casually?"

But Qing Cang replied with great interest, "If not him, who else could it be?"

"Do you think Hu Qi decided on the spur of the moment to kill Lan Hao, Lin Yue, and Wan Chen—three people with significant connections—along with him?"

"Qing Cang!" Lin Langtian’s brow furrowed. He dropped the honorific, his tone becoming cold and hard.

"How could this be?" Wu Feng’s expression was complicated as he said repeatedly, "Venerable Qin Yun is a pillar of the Sect. How could he be so ruthless toward a junior?"

"And what if he did?" Qing Cang said, going with the flow. But Wu Feng replied with a grim and solemn expression, "I am the Punishment Hall Master of the Sect. If Venerable Qin Yun truly gave the order from the shadows, he will have to provide an explanation, one way or another."

A vein throbbed on Lin Langtian’s forehead. Wu Feng was a man with a one-track mind, and Qing Cang was here instigating him.

"An explanation? What kind of explanation?" Qing Cang sneered. "Are you going to make him confess and submit to the law?"

Wu Feng shook his head and said in a low voice, "Whether it can be done is one thing. Whether I do it is another."

Qing Cang was genuinely surprised, as if seeing Wu Feng for the first time. He looked him up and down.

As a disciple of an Ancient King, Qing Cang held a respected position. He also had no family or descendants, allowing him to remain aloof within the Sect, rarely getting involved in its specific affairs.

He had heard of Wu Feng’s name and his reputation for being upright and incorruptible, but for that righteousness to extend to dragging Qin Yun out for an explanation—that was truly unexpected.

After a moment of contemplation, he frowned and said, "Investigate this matter first. Once you have results, go find Venerable Chu Lingyuan."

Seeing the two of them ignore him and carry on their own conversation, Lin Langtian’s expression shifted several times before he finally sighed in resignation.

The affairs of the Bronze Sect were always decided jointly by those two Venerables, and there had always been a great deal of friction between them.

Hu Qi’s death this time had conveniently given the other Venerable—Chu Lingyuan—a reason to make a move, and it would certainly be exploited to the fullest.

Even without a hothead like Wu Feng, someone else would have jumped at this opportunity to cause trouble.

These were truly troubled times. He rubbed his brow and changed the subject. "Regarding the Royal Court’s invitation, the Ancient King has already decided to send Venerable Qin Yun."
