My profession is too unique.

Chapter 102 Is this all the talent Mo Cui has?

"Please select your assessment focus first..." The person in charge of the assessment had someone bring over several forms and handed them to the five people.

"Attack assessment, defense assessment, speed assessment... Please explain in detail for special categories..." Su Chen glanced down at his watch.

The practical assessment is not about having them fight each other, because that would be unfair.

The individuals are of different ages, come from different environments, and have different access to resources, resulting in an imbalance of strength. When they compete against each other, it is impossible to discern whether they have put in the effort.

To maintain relative fairness, the court has its own evaluation methods, using different assessment methods based on the strengths of each participant.

Su Chen pondered for a moment. His development was very balanced, and he could have done well in any area. In the end, he checked the box for "attack".

When I looked up, everyone else had already submitted their forms.

"Oh..." The person in charge of the assessment looked down and was somewhat surprised, "They are all attack assessments."

"This is going to be good." The group behind them were looking forward to it. "It's all attack-based assessments, so it'll be obvious who's better."

After a brief preparation, the person in charge of the assessment waited for someone to give him a hand signal before calling out:
"Meng Qi!"

Meng Qi, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up and exclaimed, "Here!"

A hint of disdain flashed in Pang Xingwen's eyes. "Country bumpkin."

“...Your assessment target is him.” The judge stepped aside, and a burly man walked up behind him to the open space in front of the training ground.

His face looked as if it were coated with yellow wax. He was at least two meters tall, with bulging muscles, and exuded a strong sense of oppression.

"Second-tier, Upper-level, Rock Guardian." He said in a deep voice, "Your task is simple: make me retreat, even just a little bit, and that will be enough to pass."

As soon as he finished speaking, his skin glowed with an earthy yellow light, and his two feet spread out as if rooted to the ground, subtly connecting him to the training field.

"So sturdy..." Su Chen looked at it, feeling its life force, as solid as a mountain. "The professional development level is definitely over 50%, maybe even higher..."

“Meng Qi’s first-tier profession is only intermediate level, and he has only recently advanced to the second tier. He actually sent out the Rock Guardian, which is in the latter half of its development. The difficulty seems to have increased.” Chu Yunze couldn’t help but frown.

Su Chen heard it clearly and looked at Meng Qi, who seemed a little uneasy. This guy's first-tier profession was actually only intermediate.

In that case, they are inherently at a disadvantage compared to others.

Meng Qi's Adam's apple bobbed; anyone could see he was extremely nervous.

"Hoo..." He slowly exhaled, gritted his teeth and shouted, and green energy waves suddenly exploded around him. Withered vine-like branches spread from his back shoulder to his arm, gradually wrapping around the wooden hammer.

"Give it to me, broken!"

He roared and charged out fiercely.

boom!
The wooden hammer struck the judge's sallow skin, creating ripples that revealed yellow, scaly bumps beneath it.

The keratinized protective layer produced a metallic clang the instant it came into contact with the mallet.

The green shockwave exploded from the point of impact, appearing incredibly powerful, but the judge remained completely still.

Meng Qi gritted his teeth and let out another sharp shout. His legs also sprouted branches and took root in the earth.

Finally, the judge swayed and took a half-step back.

"Passed. You can become a regular member of the Inner Court," the judge in charge of the assessment announced loudly.

"Holy crap, this is insane! This is just passing, only enough to be a regular member?"

Behind them, many people were talking about it.

Some people noticed something amiss: "Although his talent is crimson gold, his first-tier profession is only mid-level, which is a huge disadvantage, and his potential development level probably isn't very high either..."

"The court already had this information. The judge they sent to assess the case was someone who could theoretically defeat the enemy. Since he only managed to do so with difficulty, it means he didn't try hard enough."

"Now there are more and more Crimson Gold level talents. If you don't work hard, you will be eliminated."

If a Crimson Gold-level talent is stronger than a Brilliant Silver-level talent, then in terms of career development progress, at the same age, it will definitely be higher and the strength will be greater.

If you fail the assessment, it proves that you are not working hard enough in career development, or even that you are lazy and lack perseverance.

What's the point of having talent if you don't use it, no matter how good you are?
“Pang Xingwen!” the judge called out again.

Pang Xingwen's face was somewhat gloomy. There was a method to calling out names like this. According to the information collected by the court, it should be from weakest to strongest.

He thought he would at least be after Su Chen or even Chu Yunze, but it turned out he was the second.

The enemy he faced naturally changed. Judging from the life force, Su Chen estimated that the one he faced was stronger than the previous one, and it was also a Rock Guardian.

boom!
A burst of flames erupted in the arena. The judge took two steps back, paused briefly, and then took another step back.

"Good...a potential candidate for the inner court!" the person in charge of the assessment said in a deep voice.

Pang Xingwen's face darkened as he looked at Chu Xuan, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed.

"It's a conspiracy..." Su Chen observed carefully with his mind. The examiner could choose to back down or not in the final step.

There was inevitably some noise behind the scenes; some didn't notice anything amiss, while others did but dared not speak up.

"Chu Yunze!"

Chu Yunze looked at Su Chen in surprise. His first-tier profession was top-notch, so how could he be ahead of Su Chen? Even though he was at the second tier in both spirit and body, his development progress should be far superior to Su Chen's.

Could this guy be a top-tier professional even at Tier 1?
Chu Xuan also opened his eyes, his brows furrowing.

“Stronger…” Su Chen stared at the newly arrived judge, still a Rock Guardian.

Even though he also possesses a top-tier first-class profession, I have maxed out my resources and train for twelve hours every day. How could the Inquisition possibly think he might be stronger than me?

Chu Yunze was also somewhat annoyed. The surrounding water surged and transformed into a lifelike little green dragon. He moved with it and smashed the dragon's head towards the examiner!
boom!
The blue waves exploded, and the examiner staggered back four or five steps before stopping.

“Excellent, a promising talent for the inner court!” The person in charge noted it down.

"Su Chen!" the person in charge called out, finally it was his turn.

Chu Yunze stared intently at him, as if trying to see exactly what made him so strong.

Chu Xuan seemed to perk up a bit, as if Su Chen had finally earned his respect.

boom!
Another burly man stepped forward, and Chu Yunze's expression changed slightly. "Chen Liang, is that him?"

This is an ordinary member of the Inner Court, with a Silver-level talent. As far as he knows, the other party has recently developed the Rock Guardian to perfection and is working on advancing to the third-tier profession.

Moreover, the other party was Wei Yinshuo's grand-disciple, and he glanced at Pang Xingwen with disgust.

"This one looks quite young." Su Chen realized something was wrong, glanced around, and sure enough, spotted Pang Xingwen with a sneer, watching the show.

Su Chen realized that this person was much stronger than Chu Yunze's opponent just now, and even the surface of his skin was covered with layers of gray stone skin.

"What are you waiting for? Are you going to abstain?"

Seeing that he was standing still, Chen Liang called out to him repeatedly, seemingly very impatient.

The person in charge next to him also sighed almost imperceptibly, seemingly somewhat helpless.

Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, subtly glancing at the platform. Since Old Xia was here…

Crackling!

An electric arc exploded, the Wind and Thunder Force activated its power, and spiderweb-like electric patterns appeared on the surface of the skin, with those blue-purple electric arcs traveling along the blood vessels.

Its physical strength suddenly increased several levels, its hair fluttered, each strand covered with crackling electric arcs, and the surrounding winds danced, forming visible vortexes that collided with the electric arcs to create a thunderous storm.

Su Chen lightly touched the ground with his feet and shot straight out, almost invisible to the naked eye.

He clenched his fist, and the azure wind surged and gathered, carrying lightning, and attached itself to his right arm.

[The Fury of Wind and Thunder]!
At the same time, a surge of psychic power erupted, targeting the opponent's lower body, specifically the point where their legs touched the ground!
With the accumulation of four top-tier professions, let's see if you can stop me!

"This is..." Chen Liang had sensed something was wrong as soon as the first arc of electricity appeared.

But Su Chen was so fast that he couldn't even react.

boom! ! !
He felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his legs felt as if they had been smashed by a giant hammer. The scenery before his eyes vanished.

.........

"...A top-tier first-level profession requires relentless training day and night. It's time to show these little brats from Yingfeng what true mental fortitude is."

Chong Jingtian looked down at the virtual screen, which displayed Su Chen's basic information.

Xia Hanshi still needed to report the matter of the top-tier first-order profession to Yuan Chenyang, so he naturally wouldn't hide it.

Su Chen's tireless training day and night is something that can be easily found online.

“This time, you’ve really found a good prospect…” Chong Jingtian said with increasing admiration, looking at Xia Hanshi.

"There's nothing we can do. With such a poor background, one naturally has to work a hundred times harder. If he were Chu Yunze or Pang Xingwen, he probably wouldn't be much better off," Xia Hanshi said indifferently.

“You can’t say that…” Yuan Poshan shook his head and said, “Meng Qi’s background isn’t exactly good either, but judging from his abilities, he doesn’t seem to put in much effort… In the end, he couldn’t stand the loneliness…”

"You're courting death!" Xia Hanshi suddenly stood up, and blazing golden flames erupted from his body.

Yuan Poshan was startled and then annoyed. Was Xia Hanshi out of his mind? He was the one speaking to him.

"Chen Liang, he's also considered an assessment judge?!" Xia Hanshi's tone was icy. "He's already about to advance to the third rank!"

Chong Jingtian moved even faster, pressing firmly on his shoulder and shouting, "This is the Court of Judgment!"

Wei Yinshuo had already retreated some distance and said in a deep voice, "Why doesn't he count? Su Chen is strong, so naturally we should use the strongest person to be tested!"

Yuan Poshan then noticed the situation on the field, and his expression became somewhat displeased.

Although Su Chen was taken away by Xia Hanshi, at least there was still some connection with Yuan Chenyang.

"Fourth brother, you..." Yuan Poshan was about to speak when his expression changed.

The others also noticed something, and pairs of eyes turned to the audience.

Chen Liang's burly body flew more than ten meters away like a cannonball, rolled several times on the ground, and then gradually came to a stop.

His mouth was filled with blood, his chest was charred black, his body was convulsing uncontrollably, and he had lost consciousness.

"Unbelievable..." Yuan Poshan was surprised. Looking at Su Chen's strange state, he murmured, "Dual elements?"

Xia Hanshi's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "His mental profession is an arcane scholar. He stole abilities related to the lightning element and seems to have developed a fusion ability with them..."

"Fusion ability? I see." Yuan Poshan suddenly realized, then glared angrily at Xia Hanshi.

"Equal talent...simultaneous dual professions and fused abilities, indeed rare," Chong Jingtian remarked, a thoughtful look in his eyes. No one would dislike dual professions, but for many, insufficient talent only leads to wasted effort.

As for the ability to integrate, there are even fewer records. It requires strict requirements on oneself, one's profession, and one's talent before it can be created.

Wei Yinshuo's face was extremely ugly.

“Ha…” Xia Hanshi forced a smile, “Having been away from the front lines for too long, all you can do is resort to underhanded tricks. As long as your fist is big enough, no amount of underhanded tricks will work.”

"I remember that Chu Xuan, his physical talent is Black Jade, but his mental talent is only Bronze. He might not be as powerful as Su Chen in the future."

“The difference in rank cannot be bridged by simply pursuing two professions simultaneously.” Wei Yinshuo had also regained his composure.

Xia Hanshi said calmly, "Next up is Chu Xuan. Since he's so awesome, he should at least be assessed by a third-tier professional."

Chong Jingtian frowned and shook his head, saying, "Third rank is too exaggerated. Let Zhang Fang go, just like Chen Liang."

Wei Yinshuo's expression changed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

.........

"The person... flew... flew out?" The person in charge stared in disbelief at the emergency medical personnel rushing to the scene.

Meanwhile, the others who had gathered not far away, waiting for their assessment to end, were completely dumbfounded.

Even Chu Yunze, at his strongest, could only make his opponent stagger back a few steps.

They could understand if Chen Liang was forced to retreat more than ten steps, but the scene of him flying out of the air was beyond their imagination.

"Ha!" Zhang Hengyu clenched his hands in the crowd, feeling a surge of exhilaration. He knew all too well how cunning Su Chen was, and it was time to show these second-generation Ying Fengs what a true king of cunning really was!

"Brother Su, Brother Su!"

In the audience, Du Yu shouted loudly, and the faces of the others also turned red. After all, they came from the same place, and now they felt a sense of pride!
The previously quiet audience seats suddenly buzzed with discussion.

"How is this possible!" Pang Xingwen exclaimed incredulously. He knew Chen Liang's situation perfectly well; Chen Liang was preparing to advance to the third-tier professional, and his stone skin was terrifyingly strong.
Therefore, the current scene is even more unbelievable to him.

"Even with dual professions, this level of intensity is unacceptable. Is his development progress close to 100%?" Chu Yunze couldn't help but think. "At his age, could it be that he's been training non-stop since he started his job?"

"How can anyone have such perseverance!"

How could he be so strong? Chu Xuan's pupils contracted, his face tensed, and he clenched his fists. He had long lost his composure, and a sense of unease involuntarily rose in his heart.

If he were facing the same enemy, he probably wouldn't be able to do what Su Chen did. The trouble is that his assessment is after Su Chen's.

"Your Excellency?" Su Chen tentatively called out to the person in charge, having already restrained his full-blown demeanor and become calm again.

"Oh, oh..." The other party suddenly realized, swallowed hard, and announced, "Excellent... excellent... outstanding, suitable as a seed for the inner court!"

The result was clearly beyond the realm of excellence, but the upper limit was only here, and that was the only way he could announce it.

He composed himself before calling out, "Chu Xuan!"

The moment the name was mentioned, the initial discussion gradually subsided, and people looked at Chu Xuan with a hint of anticipation:

"If dual-red-gold talent is this powerful, wouldn't emerald-level talent be even more formidable?"

"Yes, we can finally see it for ourselves."

"Let him see what's what!" Pang Xingwen couldn't help but shout.

"Shut up!" Chu Yunze couldn't help but scold, looking worriedly at Chu Xuan who was slowly walking forward.

The person in charge looked back and found that the originally prepared assessment team members had been replaced at some point.

Someone ran up and whispered a few words in his ear. He seemed to be thinking about something and then stepped aside.

Another burly man stepped forward. Apart from their different appearances, these guys who were in the Rock Guardian profession all had similar physiques.

"About the same strength as that guy from before." Su Chen estimated, then nodded in satisfaction and looked at Chu Xuan with some anticipation.

Just how strong is a pure Jadeite-level talent?

Standing in the center of the room, listening to the whispers around him and the expectant gazes, Chu Xuan's forehead veins throbbed, and an indescribable anxiety rose in his heart.

How could this be?
He hadn't felt this way in a long time...

"Aren't you going to start?" his opponent asked in a deep voice.

Chu Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes gradually hardening.

If you can do it, I might be able to do it too!
boom!
A crimson aura exploded around Chu Xuan's body, and dense scales covered his entire body like snake scales, while his aura continued to increase.

"The development progress is probably over 50%..." Su Chen secretly estimated, "A physical profession, it seems to be a physical talent..."

"Drink-ah!"

Chu Xuan's face was contorted with rage, his pupils turning into snake eyes. With a muffled thud, he burst forth, transforming into a ravenous python that devoured people.

boom!
The examiner's expression changed, and he crossed his arms as earth-yellow energy circulated throughout his body.

The crimson python seemed to have crashed into a stubborn rock, causing countless streams of light to shatter. The examiner's feet appeared to remain stationary, but his entire body gradually moved backward.

"Give it to me, and I'll refund you!"

Chu Xuan's face was contorted with rage, having exhausted the last bit of strength from his body's cells.

"They've left the field!" someone shouted, but there was a hint of doubt in their voice.

"Is this... really jadeite?" Someone in the crowd behind couldn't help but ask hesitantly.

"Right... When this guy arrived, he was all the rage, surrounded by Chu Yunze, Pang Xingwen, and that whole group of people..."

"Is he hiding his strength?" Some people were still unwilling to believe it.

"Hide my ass! This concerns our treatment after entering the court of judgment. Hiding our strength now would be idiotic."

"But this is not what I imagined. The previous person's movements were incredibly smooth, but this person seems to be struggling to move, and is only barely managing to push it out."

"No wonder Su Chen left so decisively that night; he has the right to be arrogant..."

Many of those who had attended Chu Xuan's banquets were now somewhat disappointed.

"Is this all the Emerald-level talent you have?" Du Yu looked disappointed. "I thought it would be much more impressive. It's still a long way from my brother Su's level."

The other people in the audience looked at each other, disappointed. "I went all out, and this is it? It's not even as good as that guy from before."

Then, the focus of the discussion shifted back to that guy named Su Chen.

"What is he doing?!" Pang Xingwen gritted his teeth. "He's sending that guy flying!"

"Shut up!" Chu Yunze's eyes were fierce, and Pang Xingwen felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but say, "It's not that I'm impatient, he just wants to show off his unparalleled power!"

Chu Yunze took a deep breath and said, "Talent isn't instantaneous strength; it takes time to develop. In the early stages, this gap isn't significant. Su Chen can catch up and even surpass it through hard work..."

"As your professional rank increases, the difficulty of development also increases, and only then can your talent truly demonstrate its value. Temporary gains and losses are nothing."

"Nothing much?" Pang Xingwen was stunned, then cursed angrily, "None of your business! If he can't become a core seed..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was forced back to his seat by Chu Yunze's murderous gaze.

Chu Xuan was panting heavily, his cheeks twitching slightly, and his teeth were clenched so tightly they felt like they were going to break.

The sounds of discussion around him were clearly audible, reaching his ears.

Questioning, ridicule, mockery.

Such discussions have not occurred since he revealed his talent.

Without Su Chen, his current record would already be amazing enough. But with such outstanding figures preceding him, his appearance as a last-minute replacement seems insufficient.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at Su Chen, only to find that the other had already looked away, as if he had lost interest.

"You..." As his blood rushed to his head, Chu Xuan's pupils became bloodshot. Exhausted and emotionally turbulent, he even felt slightly dizzy.

But a last shred of reason restrained him, and he didn't do anything out of line.

"That's it..." Su Chen muttered to himself, having thought there would be some amazing performance.

But then he thought about it again and explained to himself, "Talent is just talent after all. It only increases development efficiency. Combined with job requirements, it is important, but it is not the only factor that matters."

He gained a deeper understanding of this kind of performance evaluation by the court.

He vaguely sensed someone watching him, but when he looked up, he saw that Chu Xuan had already returned to his seat and was silent.

"Excellent! Can be a seed for the inner court!" the person in charge exclaimed, glancing at the two slight plow marks in the field.

In the past, this would have caused a sensation, but unfortunately...

"The Crimson Gold level assessment is over. The other assessments can begin now," he added.

The judges began to drive away the men who had gathered nearby.

Their assessments are no longer worth the public attention. They should return to their own areas, follow the guidelines, choose their assessment methods, and proceed step by step.

The five people who finished the assessment had different expressions. Meng Qi looked timid and kept glancing at Su Chen.

Pang Xingwen's expression was gloomy, and Chu Yunze's face was also not good.

"Chu Xuan, Su Chen, please come with me, the chief wants to see you..." the person in charge called out after receiving the notification.

Su Chen's heart stirred slightly, and Chu Xuan also composed himself and followed the person in charge to the high platform.

Chu Yunze breathed a sigh of relief. There was still a chance, there was still a chance…

The two walked side by side in silence, boarded the floating elevator, and disappeared into the high platform.

As soon as Su Chen entered, he subconsciously looked around and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

The calm and reverent man recognized the other man; he had seen his photograph and knew he was the chief judge.

Xia Hanshi, with a sinister smile on his face, seemed quite pleased.

Yuan Poshan, who had met him once before, looked rather grim, his face filled with heartache.

As for the others, their expressions varied, and their eyes held a subtle scrutiny.

Only one person had the worst expression, with a long, unpleasant face.
