The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

When the two started fighting, the big shots around them not only didn't try to stop them, but instead watched the spectacle with amusement.

"Hey, hey, stop arguing! There's another S-rank [Holy Light Priest] over here, we want him!"

"Get out of my way! An S-rank priest for your support academy? Dream on! Our comprehensive university is the best place for you!"

"Stop arguing! That rare class, [Shadow Assassin], belongs to MI7! Anyone who tries to take it will face our wrath!"

The meeting room was in complete chaos.

This is the norm every year.

Genius is a resource.

Especially geniuses at the S-level or above are highly sought after by various forces.

They are the backbone of the future.

Whoever manages to acquire one more item will gain a greater influence in the empire over the next few years.

So, face? Demeanor?

What is that?

Can you eat?

Just as Lei Batian was preparing to deliver a "love punch" to Murong Yun, and Murong Yun's fireball technique was already poised to strike.

"Clang!"

The conference room door was pushed open.

The sound made everyone instinctively stop what they were doing.

Dozens of eyes turned to the doorway.

Li Wen stood at the door, his hair disheveled, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

"Li Wen? What's wrong with you, kid?"

An elderly man in a Tang suit sitting at the head of the table frowned.

He is Gu Shanhe, the president of the Empire's premier university, Divine Revelation University.

He was also the most senior and highest-ranking person present.

They don't usually participate in the competition.

He will only speak when he encounters a truly exceptional genius.

Li Wen smiled slightly and strode to the round table: "Distinguished deans, distinguished leaders."

"I'm so sorry to bother you!"

Amidst the puzzled looks of the crowd, he connected the tablet in his hand to the main projection screen in the conference room.

"This is brilliant intelligence that just came back from Tianqi City."

"This genius is very special, so I came here to report to you all as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he pressed the play button.

On the huge holographic screen, the information of those S-level geniuses was instantly squeezed into a corner.

Instead, there was a brand new file that was incomprehensible to everyone.

Name: Gu Xu

[Class: Calamity - Lord of the Ancients (Unique)]

[Level: 2]

[Rating: Unable to assess (potentially exceeds SSS level)]

"Old Ones? What kind of profession is that? I've never heard of it."

"A unique hidden class? Hmm, that's interesting, but that's about it, isn't it?"

"Surpassing SSS-level? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

The bigwigs were discussing it animatedly, and although they were curious, they didn't show much shock.

After all, while hidden professions are rare these days, they do exist.

Until... Li Wen switched to the next page.

Detailed attribute panel for the summoned creature [The Ghost Bride].

And those three entries marked in large red letters.

【Entry 1: Blood-Red Wedding Dress (Conceptual Level)】

[Effect: Immune to all physical, magical, and mental damage.]

[Entry 2: Resentment Lock (Conceptual Level)]

[Effect: Forcefully reduces all attributes by 50%, cannot be exempted, and cannot be cleansed.]

[Entry 3: Love Knot (Conceptual Level)]

[Effect: Infinite resurrection.]

"..."

Quiet.

Utter silence.

At this moment, the conference room, which had been as noisy as a vegetable market, was transformed.

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Lei Batian forgot to put his foot down from the table.

The magic power of the staff in Murong Yun's hand extinguished.

Gu Shanhe's originally calm eyes widened slightly at this moment.

Everyone was bewildered by those three words.

Conceptual level.

And that series of chilling descriptions.

Immunity to everything?

Forced weakening?

Infinite resurrection?

"This...this is fake, right?"

After a full ten seconds, Lei Batian said in disbelief.

He couldn't believe it.

As a battle-hardened warrior, he knew all too well what the words "immune to all damage" meant.

It means invincible.

This means that in this bizarre world, one has the absolute right to survive!

"After being personally verified by Liu Zhenguo, the principal of Tianqi No. 3 Middle School, and with his own life as a guarantee, the intelligence is true."

Li Wen added coldly.

"boom!"

The meeting room exploded.

It completely exploded.

Lei Batian, who was about to fight just moments ago, now looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He jumped straight up from the chair.

"Really?! It's actually true!!"

"Conceptual level! My God! This is an invincible meat shield! This is a true warrior! This is the romance of manhood!"

"Where is this kid? Tianqi City, right? I'm going there right now!"

Lei Batian has gone mad.

His eyes were bloodshot, and he acted as if Gu Xu was his long-lost son.

"You old scoundrel, stop right there!"

A sharper, more furious roar rang out.

Murong Yun, who was usually very particular about his manners, suddenly appeared and grabbed Lei Batian's belt.

"You barbarian who only knows how to fight, what do you know!"

"Look closely! This is mind control! It's a curse! It's the pinnacle of magic!"

"That forced weakening aura is simply a god-tier skill! With it, our mage raid's damage output can double! No, it can increase tenfold!"

"This Gu Xu is a born leader of our mage academy! If you dare to steal him, I'll fight you to the death!"

"Get lost! You old jerk, you limp piece of trash! Believe me or not, I'll punch you to death!"

"Come on! I've put up with you for too long, one of us has to die today!"

Chaos.

Complete chaos.

They were just bickering about an S-class genius a moment ago, but now, for Gu Xu's sake, these big shots are really starting to take physical action.

Even Gu Shanhe, who had been sitting calmly on the sidelines, was no longer at ease.

He slammed his hand on the table, unleashing a terrifying aura.

Instantly suppressing the entire scene.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Gu Shanhe's face flushed red as he pointed at the information on the screen: "You bunch of idiots! You only saw the skills, didn't you see the job title?"

"Lords of the Old Ones! The Only Profession!"

"What does this mean? It means he's unique! He's the chosen one!"

"Only our Divine Revelation University is qualified to cultivate talent of this caliber! Your lousy academies, besides teaching people how to fight and conjure fireballs, what can they possibly teach them?"

"We must nurture him as the future guardian of the empire!"

"Gu Xu must get into Divine Revelation University! Anyone who dares to object is going against the future of the empire! They are going against me, Gu Shanhe!"

See the picture poorly.

Gu Shanhe's accusation was so outrageous that it made everyone else laugh in exasperation.

"You old man Gu, you always act all respectable, but when it comes to robbing people, you're the most ruthless one!"

"The future of the empire? Bullshit! Joining our War Academy is also serving the country!"

"Exactly! Going to your Divine Revelation University, they'll learn all sorts of philosophy and history, turning the kids into idiots! They should come to our MI7; real combat experience is what truly matters!"

"I don't care! Even if the King of Heaven himself came, we'd still take Gu Xu today!"

The meeting room descended into chaos once again.

This time, no one really held back.

The table was overturned, documents flew everywhere, and the holographic projection made a crackling sound.

Li Wen huddled in the corner, trembling.

Is this the allure of conceptual-level talent?

This is what allows these big shots who stand at the top of the empire's pyramid to achieve their goals.

They started fighting like street thugs.

He even saw on the remote connection screen that a university president had contacted the city's garrison commander and that helicopters had already been mobilized.

too crazy.

That's absolutely insane.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control and a full-blown brawl was about to break out.

"Squeak—"

The conference room door was pushed open again.

This time, there was no violent crashing sound, nor the sound of hurried footsteps.

It was just a gentle push.

But the invisible aura that surged in was like a bucket of ice water.

It instantly extinguished the gunpowder smell that filled the room.

Everyone froze in an instant.

Even Lei Batian, who was already riding on Murong Yun and raising his fist, seemed to be frozen in place.

He reluctantly withdrew his hand.

An elderly man with a refined and scholarly appearance, dressed in a gray Zhongshan suit.

He strolled in slowly.

His eyes were calm.

But there was a faint but undeniable aura of pressure emanating from him.

But it sent a chill down the spines of all the professionals present.

That was a terrifying aura that transcended the eighth rank and stepped into the threshold of the ninth rank.

Zhang Daoxuan, Deputy Minister of the Imperial Supreme Command.

He is also one of the strongest figures in the Divine Xia Empire!

People gave him the nickname "Withered and Flourishing".

Beside him was a tall, thin young man, Chen Yang, Zhang Daoxuan's secretary!

"Wow, it's quite lively here."

Zhang Daoxuan smiled and looked around the messy conference room, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the bruised and battered deans.

"What? Has this year's tea party been turned into a martial arts tournament?"

"These people are all thousands of years old combined. Is it really worth it for a few students?"

"If word gets out, aren't we afraid the students will laugh at us?"
