My profession is too unique.

Chapter 135 [The Rebel] Stone Slab?

Moreover, it can only be effective when the main profession rank and level are all the same; when it is equivalent to promotion, it will take more resources and time.

“The ability you gain sounds powerful, but it’s definitely not worth the huge price.” Sang Hanhai shook his head repeatedly. “Besides, it’s not a requirement for the job, and you have to maintain it after you take the job.”

"Su Chen, don't make trouble for yourself." Sang Hanhai's eyebrows twitched when he saw Su Chen's eyes light up.

If Chongjing Tian knew that he had tricked him out of his jadeite seeds, he would probably chop him up alive.

"Elder Sang, I'd like to study this..." Su Chen's expression turned serious. His spiritual and physical talents were not that different. If we were to use specific data, it would definitely be less than 50%. Even if we forced the difference to be equal, it wouldn't be that significant.

Moreover, it indirectly amplifies physical talent.

He had always intended to pursue both professions simultaneously, and maintaining consistent ranks and levels was something he needed to do.

These requirements were irrelevant to him, but they would significantly enhance his abilities after he took the job.

The ability to switch between physical and mental exertion is undoubtedly helpful to him, who is used to bursting out attacks and is skilled in both offensive methods.

Therefore, he didn't even plan to wait for the translation of "The Armored Bone Warrior"; he wanted to get his hands on it first.

“Research…you…” Sang Hanhai couldn’t help but look at Qin Qiyuan, “You’re the one who caused this mess, you’re the one who has to clean it up for me.”

"Because of its significant limitations, this professional evaluation is only grade A. Do you want to pay for it?" Qin Qiyuan asked.

"Old Qin!" Sang Hanhai shouted.

“He can give it a try,” Qin Qiyuan said. “His foundation is exceptionally strong, and his equal talent is not a weakening, but rather like two bottles of water, one high and one low, with the higher one flowing to the lower one.”

"The losses are not as great as imagined."

“Elder Sang, my mind is made up,” Su Chen said.

Sang Hanhai was frustrated. Since Su Chen already knew about this profession, he naturally had countless ways to obtain it, and he couldn't stop him.

"If it costs money, how much will it cost?" Su Chen asked.

Jin Yunxuan said, "For an A-level profession, as a core seed of the Tribunal, exclusive use would require fifty million gold..."

"Uh..." Su Chen thought for a moment, "Can I exchange my profession for it?"

"Okay." Qin Qiyuan nodded. "What level of profession do you want? I'll give you a rating."

"Second-tier top level, roughly what level?" Su Chen asked tentatively.

"Top-tier?" Sang Hanhai suddenly leaned closer. "Top-tier professions, below the third rank, are all A-rank."

"So precious?" Su Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

“There aren’t many top-tier professions, and the lower the level, the easier it is to get a job, and the benefits for the future are immeasurable…” Sang Hanhai looked at him, “I knew you were a treasure trove, where did Xia Hanshi get so many top-tier professions?”

Su Chen decided to take out the [Wind and Thunder Envoy]. Since mental professions are inherently more precious, he decided to keep it hidden for now.

Qin Qiyuan chased away Jin Yunxuan, who was watching eagerly, but he couldn't do anything about Sang Hanhai, so he could only let him stay and listen to Su Chen explain the job requirements.

"…first…"

"This profession... seems to be a higher-level profession than [Skybreaker Warrior], right?" Hearing the last part, Sang Hanhai suddenly realized something.
"The top-tier first-level profession from Nanfeng City that I acquired some time ago was actually yours."

“Yes…” Su Chen nodded, “It was specially awarded to me by Teacher Yuan Chenyang.”

“Yuan Chenyang?” Sang Hanhai chuckled. “Old Qin, tell him.”

Qin Qiyuan nodded, about to speak, but then glanced at Sang Hanhai and said unhappily, "If you want to listen, you'll have to pay with an A-level job."

Sang Hanhai's face darkened, and he left reluctantly.

Qin Qiyuan coughed lightly before beginning his narration: "..."

[A special profession has been discovered – the Reverse Element. This profession is available after fulfilling the requirements.]

[Job requirement one: Physical and mental skills must be at least at level three, and simultaneously be at the top level.]

[Job requirement two: To exhaust physical and mental strength to the limit, and at least one thousand times.]

[Job requirement three: Fusing fragments of the Void Star.]

The three job requirements don't seem difficult at all.

After all, the requirements for demonstrating one's abilities are even more demanding once one takes up this job.

[The Rebel was impressed by the Crimson Flame Thunder Grandmaster and decided to lower the requirements for taking up the post.]

[The second requirement for employment, which was previously limited to a maximum of 100 attempts, has been reduced.]

Su Chen was already used to the influence of the Grand Master.

"The job is quite difficult to obtain. It takes at least a day or two to recover from the exhaustion of both mental and physical strength, which means it will take three years," Qin Qiyuan cautioned.

"And the Void Star isn't easy to find either, so don't waste too much time on it."

After Qin Qiyuan finished speaking, he called Sang Hanhai in.

Old Sang said unhappily, "When the time comes for Chongjing Tiansha to come knocking on your door, I won't help you stop him."

“I know the outcome, I know the difficulty, this is my own choice, and I don’t need you two to take responsibility,” Su Chen said.

"Ah, youth is wonderful," Sang Hanhai sighed.

As agreed with Qin Qiyuan, Su Chen would come here from time to time to help decipher the sacred stone over the next period of time.

After going downstairs with Sang Hanhai, Su Chen finally asked the question he hadn't finished asking earlier, "Elder Sang, I heard that Elder Pu also built this defensive spirit ring?"

"Such a huge project, and my senior brother is just the person in charge." Sang Hanhai looked suspicious. "Why are you so curious about my senior brother? What task did Xia Hanshi give you?"

“No.” Su Chen shook his head and explained, “When you went to the court last time, Ming Lin mentioned that this defensive spirit ring can actually keep mutated species away from thousands of miles away. Why isn’t it being made more widespread?”

"In this way, lower-level cities won't need to expend so many resources to organize defenses on the periphery."

What he said made perfect sense, and Sang Hanhai didn't delve into it further, as it wasn't really a big secret.

"The reason it can't be promoted isn't actually because of the spirit ring, but because of what's on it," Sang Hanhai said mysteriously in a low voice.

Su Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "What's up there?"

"The symbols were taken from a stone slab, also from that ruin." Sang Hanhai's eyes flickered slightly, and he did not hide anything.

slate!

Su Chen finally obtained accurate information, but it didn't seem to be the Holy Word Stone. Moreover, when Meng Qi devoured Chu Xuan, the group of Faceless Ghost followers seemed to have mentioned the stone tablet as well. Could it be the same thing?
Suppressing his excitement, he asked, "May I see it?"

“You?” Sang Hanhai was not surprised that Su Chen had such thoughts. He pointed to his gray-white eyeball: “See? I only glanced at it. I was already a fourth-level professional at the time.”

"Before the fourth tier, you don't even have the right to take a look."

Fourth rank, again the fourth rank... Su Chen thought back to when Xia Hanshi said that if you're not at the fourth rank... there's no need to think about saving people for him.

"Don't think too much about it. Just focus on improving your career development and getting promoted step by step. That's what you should be doing now." Sang Hanhai patted him on the shoulder. "I have something to do, so I won't see you off."

He went deeper into the translation office. Su Chen stood there for a long time, watching Sang Hanhai disappear before leaving.

……

Sang Hanhai arrived at the small wooden house deep inside the Translation Office. Upon seeing Pu Zhenghong, his first words were, "It's been verified. This is the third time. Su Chen can probably resonate with all the Sacred Word Stones."

Pu Zhenghong continued carving on the blank sacred stone. Upon hearing this, he paused, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Has he ever expressed curiosity about divine language?"

“Uh…” Sang Hanhai paused, a hint of surprise in his voice: “He seems to be simply curious about the professions recorded on the Sacred Word Stone, but as for the divine language… he didn’t mention it at all.”

Pu Zhenghong frowned. "They're not even curious about why they resonate with something, they're only curious about their profession. What kind of people has Xia Hanshi taught them?"

"However, he seemed quite curious about you, asking a lot of questions, including about the defensive spirit ring," Sang Hanhai added, while secretly pondering to himself.

It's still not certain that what's on the Sacred Word Stone is the so-called divine language; my senior brother has really gone astray.

But it's understandable, just like his teacher, who desperately wanted to prove that his theory was correct.

"You told him about the stone slab?" Pu Zhenghong's tone turned colder. "You still can't forget about it."

"Ah, senior brother," Sang Hanhai sighed, "who can forget? Can you forget?"

"The inscription on that broken stone tablet is most likely the profession that group of people are looking for. Even the royal court covets it; a single symbol can deter mutated species."

“Wang Ting…” Pu Zhenghong remained silent, while Sang Hanhai continued, “Yuan Du has been looking for an opportunity. They seem to know more and have been cultivating highly talented individuals, hoping to gain the recognition of that relic.”

“We have fallen far behind. They came here this time ostensibly to explain, but I’m afraid their intentions are not good.”

"Su Chen's appearance may be our opportunity. Putting aside everything else, if we can completely analyze the stone tablet, the other three cities will probably have no choice but to submit."

“Recognition…” Pu Zhenghong shook his head. “It’s not that easy. That level of profession has its own divinity. To gain recognition, talent alone is far from enough.”

Pu Zhenghong did not pick up on Sang Hanhai's words, but instead said, "It has been confirmed that Tang Chen is among the people who came from Yuandu this time."

"Tang Chen, I knew it!" Sang Hanhai suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "Last time, when you were not here, he took a piece of Sacred Word Stone and showed off, claiming that no one in Yingfeng could decipher it. For a full six months, he blocked the entrance of the Translation Office and laughed at us."

“This time, he brought another Sacred Word Stone,” Pu Zhenghong said calmly.

"This is outrageous!" Sang Hanhai's expression changed drastically, but then he laughed again. "He's really asking for trouble this time. Even if you weren't here, Su Chen could have made him swallow his pride."

"It's best not to let too many people know about Su Chen's matter," Pu Zhenghong pondered. "The people of Yuandu... are drifting further and further away from us."

…………

"Those clad in armor, those who defy the origins, thankfully there's the Great Venerable..."

On the way back, Su Chen looked at the panel and saw that he had obtained two professions this time.

After the nerf, the difficulty of the Reverse Elementalist isn't too high; it's mostly about passively taking hits, and there's some kind of core item, but it should be completed quickly.
"Even without using defense, I can withstand quite a few hits."

The [Reverse Yuan] is a bit troublesome. Recovering from exhaustion to the limit requires a significant amount of time. If it weren't for the weakening, it would actually take three years or even longer to complete.

"We need to plan this out properly..."

Upon returning to the courtroom, Su Chen learned something that surprised him greatly.

"Wei Yufan has successfully advanced to a fifth-tier profession?"

Minglin, who was waiting at the door, nodded, "Yes, this guy has been accumulating experience for a long time. He originally wanted to advance to the top level of the fifth rank, but now he is only at the upper level of the fifth rank. It's really not worth it."

He followed Su Chen through the door, and looking at the other's back, he couldn't help but sigh. Ever since Su Chen and Chu Xuan fought, the so-called chief seed had become a foregone conclusion.

The battles between their core seeds used to be quite frequent, but now they have been stagnant for a long time.

However, Wei Yufan refused to accept this reality and forcibly advanced to the fifth rank, exceeding the arena's suppression limit and blocking the "chief seed".

Minglin couldn't understand why Su Chen would be stopped in this way, which was essentially weakening himself.

"He's quite capable," Su Chen said, not taking it too seriously.

If Wei Yufan knew about Su Chen's current behavior, he would probably be furious. Ming Lin smiled bitterly to himself.

Wei Yufan was willing to give up some of his future prospects to prevent Su Chen from becoming the top seed, but in reality, Su Chen didn't have much of an opinion on it.

"I wonder who will get those two vacant core seed positions," Minglin said, mentioning the matter.

With Chu Xuan and Meng Qi dying one after another, the two core seed spots that were originally recruited as an exception have become vacant again.

Instead of taking back the reverence for the heavens, they prepared to hold an internal selection competition to determine two winners who would become the core seeds.

Everyone in the inner court has been paying attention to this matter recently, and they are all eager to fill the vacancy, which is much simpler than challenging the existing core seeds.

"When does it start?" Su Chen asked, knowing that Lao Bai also intended to become a core seed and would probably participate.

"It'll be soon, it'll definitely be settled before the people from Yuandu arrive," Minglin speculated.

"You knew the people from Yuandu were coming?" Su Chen asked in surprise.

“This is no secret.” Ming Lin was speechless at Su Chen’s surprise. “I guess there will be another round of open and covert struggles. Last time they came, I had just entered the courtroom and sparred with some of the people they brought.”

"What was the result?" Su Chen asked curiously.

“There were wins and losses, but the overall quality was much better than the seeds from our Tribunal,” Minglin recalled. “Yuandu is not like Yingfeng, which has a Tribunal, three departments of security, and various other institutions. They are all under the jurisdiction of the Holy See, and their resources are more concentrated.”

"Compared to the courtroom alone, we are inferior. It is said that their 'godson' will also be here this time."

"Teaching children"—this was the second time Su Chen had heard this term, but he noticed Ming Lin staring straight at him, and a chill ran down his spine. "What kind of look is that?"

Minglin explained, "I'm just curious, who's the better one among you?"

"The Godfathers are the most special people in the Vatican. Their selection method is also very strange. It is not based on strength, nor does it seem to be based on talent."

"Boring." Su Chen shook his head. Of all the people from Yuandu who came this time, the only things that could capture his attention were the [Spiritualists] and the deity they worshipped.

However, the good news is that since this adopted son is so special, he is likely to master the profession of [Spirit Master], which greatly increases his chances of success.
