My profession is too unique.

Chapter 113 All the changes were brewing.

Su Chen slept until mid-afternoon before finally waking up. Before going to sleep, he drank some nutrient solution and now felt full of energy.

Zero was immediately tasked with summarizing the information.

It turned out that the ranking system had only been announced recently, and all parties were still adapting.

After washing his face, Su Chen entered the gravity chamber with great interest.

"...Exercising to exhaustion requires significantly more rest, resulting in more wasted time. I already reached my limit yesterday, so I'll reduce the intensity today..."

"I wonder if there are any professions that can quickly restore energy..."

……

Meanwhile, in another villa not far from here, Chu Yunze and others gathered.

Compared to the ambition they had when they entered the courtroom, they were completely stunned by the series of blows delivered by the God-worshipping group.

“Challenge system…” Chu Yunze smiled wryly, but his eyes also gleamed with a strange light. “Our chief judge really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.”

“Rankings…rankings…” Chu Xuan stared coldly at the virtual screen in front of him, on which six people were listed in order.

"For now, we're just arranging them by rank, so don't worry about it," Chu Yunze reminded him.

"If it's based on rank, why is Su Chen above me?" Chu Xuan looked at the last person, and it was him; Su Chen was fifth.

"Uh..." Chu Yunze paused, muttering to himself, "Why don't you know?"

Chu Xuan was well aware of this, which was why his expression was grim. This guy had almost become his inner demon. For the past two days, he had been dreaming about the moment when Su Chen knocked away the assessment judge and revealed his talent.

"You need to reach Tier 3 to officially join the challenge rankings, so there's no rush," Chu Yunze reassured him.

"In other words, until then, I will always be one step ahead of him." Chu Yunze had a unique way of thinking, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to change my class and advance to [Night Butcher]."

Chu Yunze's expression changed slightly. "That's a top-tier third-tier profession. Your experience isn't sufficient; it's too dangerous!"

"No, I must advance!" Chu Xuan's expression was cold. He knew how powerful Su Chen was. If he simply advanced to the upper level of the third tier step by step, he would still be no match for Su Chen.

Moreover, he also knew that once this challenge ranking system was introduced, and he advanced to the third rank, what awaited him were countless inner court seeds with green eyes.

"Why bother?" Chu Yunze couldn't help but say. Even if Chu Xuan couldn't become the chief judge, with his talent, he would at least be a judge.

But if you risk advancing to the top level of the third tier and die halfway through, everything is over.

"If you regret it, you can leave," Chu Xuan said before heading to the basement.

Chu Yunze looked around. Apart from Meng Qi, who looked completely bewildered, everyone else had different expressions. He sighed deeply.

My mind is scattered.

.........

The situation was turbulent both inside and outside the courtroom, as the chain reaction caused by the downfall of the Pang family continued.

Some judges noticed that there were more guards patrolling near headquarters, and each guard glared at the judges with a menacing look, as if they wanted to devour them.

There was also a group of people who secretly gathered together because of the downfall of the Pang family.

In the basement of a building, the walls are carved with intricate symbols that occasionally flash with a faint light, and several figures are visible in the center.

Some had faces covered in jet-black patterns and black vertical pupils carved on their heads; some had grayish-yellow faces without any features; and some had scarlet pupils.

“The Pang family has been destroyed, and Ying Feng has already noticed our covert actions.”

"What exactly happened? There were no warning signs, how could it have been destroyed?"

"I don't know what's gotten into Black Tuo, but they're targeting Xia Hanshi's student, a core member of the Tribunal. Perhaps that's what drew their attention..."

The Black Tuo follower looked up, restraining the urge to correct the other party's address, and said in a deep voice, "Invited one day and wiped out the next, it's impossible for it to be this fast. Ying Feng was clearly prepared in advance, and it has nothing to do with that Su Chen."

"We must inform the outside world no matter what; we need to speed things up. Also, Black Tuo's divine blood has been lost; what about the plan to corrupt Wei Yinshuo..."

"I will get it back," the Black Tuo believer solemnly declared, not only because of the plan, but also because the loss of divine blood was a blasphemy.

"Not many people made the move that night. If we investigate them one by one, we can always find clues."

"You want to die? Don't drag us into this. Are you afraid Ying Feng won't find us?" The other followers of the Ghost God attacked simultaneously. "The plan isn't finished yet!"

"Our operation in Yingfeng City is also to attract attention from the outside. We need to be careful. The lower-ranking judges can be easily persuaded to talk. Let's start with them."

"Moreover, whether we like it or not, Ying Feng will definitely begin a large-scale screening, whether openly or covertly. Rather than waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative."

Many followers of the evil god fell into deep thought. They were not afraid of death, but they were afraid of dying without meaning.

Soon, they came to agree with the ideas of the Black Buddha followers.

"Let's do it this way, let's find something for Yingfeng to do."

……

It was late at night again, and the gravity chamber opened with a hum. Su Chen's muscular body was covered in sweat, reflecting the surrounding light.

"Fuck!"

As soon as he came out, he was startled to see a hunched figure standing ominously in the shadows.

"teacher?"

Upon closer inspection, Su Chen recognized Xia Hanshi and couldn't help but complain, "You're too scary! At least make a sound!"

"Such a coward." Xia Hanshi glanced at him.

"With your aura standing in the shadows, who wouldn't be afraid?" Su Chen thought to himself, but just chuckled on the surface.

"I'm leaving Yingfeng in a couple of days." Xia Hanshi turned and went upstairs.

"What's wrong?" Su Chen's expression froze, and he inexplicably thought of Yuan Chenyang.

"We've uncovered a lot from the Pang family; something big is about to happen, bigger than we anticipated. At least five 'Strange Gods' are collaborating." Xia Hanshi said gravely.

“They had been planning this for at least two or three years, but we only found out recently because their actions were too big.”

Ultimately, the fog blocked communication between cities, which had a significant impact.

"Five strange gods?" Su Chen was startled. Putting aside everything else, just the fact that they could summon their carriers at the same time was enough to give Ying Feng a hard time.

At the same time, he also thought of the information about "blood sacrifice in ten cities".

"Where are you going?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.

"There are a few specific places I want to go, but I don't want to go to any of them..."

The two arrived on the first floor, and Xia Hanshi suddenly stopped.

"What do you mean?" Su Chen saw the old man turn around, his deep-set eyes staring straight at him, which was rather eerie.

"So, I'd like to ask for someone's opinion," Xia Hanshi said with an awkward smile, "that person with a righteous heart."

Su Chen's expression changed slightly. He didn't know what Xia Hanshi was thinking. Was he just taking a gamble without any real chance? Or was it because the Pang family's affairs had made him suspicious, and he even guessed that Hei Tuo's investment in Nanfeng City was for him?

In my previous message to him, I didn't mention anything about him being a "righteous person".

The sudden attack did startle him, but despite the shock, he remained calm.

Su Chen prided himself on having a certain level of understanding and trust with Lao Xia.

"Actually, he did send me a letter." Su Chen walked to the coffee table, casually opened a drawer, and took out an envelope.

Su Chen had intended to tell Lao Xia about the blood sacrifice, and the letter was already prepared.

Xia Hanshi's eyes suddenly became deep and somewhat surprised. Could this be some kind of innate precognitive profession?

He casually flicked the letter over, and upon opening it, he still expressed his disdain: "Such ugly handwriting, can't he practice?"

Su Chen strongly suspected that the old man was settling a personal score.

But upon closer inspection of the contents, Xia Hanshi's expression gradually softened, and his surprise and doubt deepened.

"...White Crane City, Purple Cloud City, Azure Moon City... There might be activities of the strange gods. The information gathered from the Pang family only covers a few general areas, but this guy actually knows the specific cities and even points out what might happen."

"Could he possibly have precognitive abilities?" Xia Hanshi asked tentatively.

As long as it doesn't involve the Ghost God Cult, and doesn't prevent him from dealing with the Ghost God Cult, he is actually very tolerant of many things. If you can help him deal with the Ghost God Cult, that would be even better.

There were several cities listed, and the information he gathered from the Pang family matched, which made him even more curious.

But Su Chen is too wary; if we reveal our true colors, it might backfire.

"I don't know, maybe." Su Chen gave a vague answer; these things were truly inexplicable.

He wasn't too afraid of Xia Hanshi digging into the details; at worst, he could pretend not to know, since the information was genuine anyway.

Furthermore, his status as a core seed means that, in a sense, it's not so easy for Xia Hanshi to touch him.

Moreover, Lao Xia will need him for something in the future.

All these factors combined are the key reasons why he dares to speak in riddles.

"I understand." Xia Hanshi pondered for a moment, but did not ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "Many judges left this time, including Wei Yinshuo. You can rest assured."

That guy left too?
Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Of all the people who openly harbored hostility towards him, the only one he could not easily resist was Wei Yinshuo.

"For minor issues, contact Bu Siqi; for slightly bigger troubles, contact Teng Liang; and for anything more serious, go to Chong Jingtian." Xia Hanshi put away the envelope and pondered for a moment before continuing:
"As for this ranking system, don't worry too much about it. Those guys are experienced, and it's normal for them to fail. Don't risk advancing to a top-tier third-level profession because of it."

Old Xia actually knew how to comfort people, Su Chen was surprised. Actually, he had never paid much attention to that challenge ranking system.

Xia Hanshi noticed Su Chen's surprise, snorted coldly, and left.

"A matter that even Ying Feng must take seriously... Blood sacrifice..." After seeing Xia Hanshi off, Su Chen's expression was also very solemn. He only hoped that Ying Feng could nip the threat in the bud.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, but improving his strength wasn't something that could be achieved overnight. He drank some nutrient solution and then went to rest.

The changes brought about by the internal reforms of the court were far faster than Su Chen had imagined.

The very next day, someone challenged the third-ranked core seed—Fang Yan.

He wasn't from his own faction; he came from the ranks of another core seed.

Out of curiosity, Su Chen also went to see the so-called challenger's arena. It was placed in a special venue, occupied a large area, and had an extremely thick base. The overall color was black, and it was unclear what material it was made of.

A large crowd gathered that day, and Fang Yan accepted the challenge with a grim expression.

The challenger was at the third rank. As soon as Fang Yan stepped onto the stage, he was suppressed to the third rank, and his aura weakened considerably.

After a fierce battle lasting more than twenty minutes, Fang Yan emerged victorious, but his face still looked grim as he left.

He was the first to be challenged, which was tantamount to showing the outside world that some people thought he was weak.

"Is that all? It took them over twenty minutes to win. They're not even as good as Su Chen from this year's assessment..."

When Su Chen heard someone mention his name, he turned around and saw that the person gave him a friendly smile, clearly recognizing him and saying it on purpose.

"Yes, it was a fierce battle that lasted for more than twenty minutes, and we almost crashed."

In a battle between equals, the filter of the core seed was shattered, and many people began to think that he was nothing special. As this idea spreads further, more and more people will take action.

"It's getting lively... I wonder who will temporarily take the top seed position."

These matters were temporarily irrelevant to him. After watching the commotion, Su Chen went back to continue his training.

In the following days, apart from him and Chu Xuan, who were temporarily excluded from the core seed rankings, the other four core seeds were challenged.

Without exception, they all successfully defended their positions, but the most difficult battle lasted a full forty minutes.

The fastest was Minglin, who won the battle in just over ten minutes.

And so, in this increasingly tense atmosphere, more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The gravity chamber opened, and Su Chen stepped out, still breathing heavily. As usual, he glanced at the panel—
[Wind and Thunder Envoy: 65%]

[Mystic Master: 70%]

[E-Rank Thunderous Body Tempering Technique - Mastery: 30%]

[Level E Burning Heart Meditation Method - Proficiency: 55%]

Thanks to his improved talent and the accumulation of multiple abilities, his current training speed is even faster than in the first half of his professional development.

He glanced at the time; it was already seven in the morning. He had deliberately avoided exercising for too long today.

"Hmm, I should be able to finish deciphering it today." Su Chen took a shower and changed his clothes. "I wonder if I can exchange it for a military training master."

During this period, he did not just train blindly. Every few days, he would go to the translation office to help decipher the sacred words. Under his deliberate control, the interval between his resonance with the sacred words became significantly longer.

"You are…"

As soon as he opened the door, Su Chen saw a guy with his back to him standing at the bottom of the steps.

"Finally, I've been waiting for you." The other person turned around, with a pair of very dark eyebrows that drooped downwards, making their face look like the Chinese character "囧".

"He Kang?" Su Chen called out the name immediately. He was one of the inner court's seeds, with the Crimson Gold talent.

During this time, Su Chen had already gotten to know almost all the named people in the courtroom.

But the reason why people can call each other by name is because of their signature "囧" eyebrows.

“As expected…” He Kang smiled wryly, which made his face look even more like the character “囧”. “Everyone can recognize you immediately, even you, the core seed who lives in seclusion.”

The inner court has been quite lively lately, with the core members fighting every few days, but none of it concerns Su Chen. He hasn't reached the point where he can participate in the challenge yet, and he's rarely seen by outsiders.

This funny face naturally exudes a friendly charm. Su Chen asked with a smile, "Why is Senior Brother He standing at my door?"

“I’ve been standing here for most of the day.” He Kang pointed to the “Do Not Disturb” sign hanging on Su Chen’s door.
