My profession is too unique.

Chapter 34 [The Power of Molten Stone]

"I wonder if Su Chen has lured out Qi Chuan's people."

Jiang He, who had returned to the academy, saw Su Chen leave with Bai Fengxi.

She had already learned about the appearance of the ruins from her father. This city patrol only lasted a day or two, and the people from Qi Chuan probably hadn't made a move yet.

Perhaps he has already taken action; I'll find an opportunity to ask him.

“Perfect…” Jiang He licked his lips.

"The Azure Scale Lion Pack, whose leader is a second-tier mutant, have you ever seen one? At the most dangerous moment, it was only half a meter away from me..."

"You have no idea how dangerous the situation was back then. It was all thanks to my brother Su that the tide was turned..."

Jiang He paused, glancing at a small group that had just gathered in the distance, some of whom were spitting everywhere.

“Liu Liang…” Jiang He recognized him; he was also one of the students who had left the city this time.

"Who is Brother Su?" someone asked, bewildered.

"Brother Su, you don't even know..." Liu Liang's eyes widened, "Su Chen!"

"Oh, Jiang He's pretty boy!" someone exclaimed.

"What pretty boy? Watch your language!" Liu Liang angrily rebuked. "My brother Su single-handedly wiped out the entire Azure Scale Lion pack except for the leader. The battle lasted no more than ten minutes."

"What? Real or fake?"

"Is he so powerful?"

Exclamations rose and fell, Jiang He's pupils contracted, "He wiped out the Azure Scale Lion pack?"
That kid is actually that strong.

"Not only that..." Liu Liang said mysteriously, "You know about the theft at our school a while ago, right?"

Everyone nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

"It was my brother Su who cracked it!" Liu Liang said proudly. "Brother Su is Vice Principal Yuan's student. He secretly infiltrated the city patrol team and found the stolen items in one fell swoop. Even the city lord praised him highly."

Jiang He stiffly turned his head. Yuan Chenyang's student? Secretly infiltrating? What on earth is this?

"Sigh..." Liu Liang's eyes narrowed as he saw Jiang He standing on the perimeter, and he couldn't help but excitedly call out, "Sister-in-law!"

Sister-in-law? Jiang He's face darkened, and he hurriedly left.

It's not that no one has ever called her sister-in-law, but no one has ever called her that from Su Chen's perspective, and she has her pride too.

As everyone reluctantly turned their gaze away from Jiang He's slender figure, someone suddenly said, "So, Su Chen isn't Teacher Jiang He's gigolo?"

"Bullshit!" Liu Liang retorted angrily. "My brother Su is a womanizer and has a messy relationship with Teacher Jiang... no, they're in love, how is that gigolo?"

"If anyone calls me, Brother Su, a gigolo again, I'll fight them to the death!"

……

Yuan Chenyang's home is also a detached villa located deep in Nanfeng City. It is empty and spacious with many rooms, and there is no female owner.

"Old Bai..." Su Chen called out. After figuring out Bai Fengxi's identity, he didn't mind calling him "Uncle-Master," but Bai Fengxi seemed unable to accept it and still insisted that he call him "Old Bai."

"We're all family here, so let's not mince words. Do you have any powerful meditation techniques?"

"Strike while the iron is hot..." Bai Fengxi thought to herself, pondering, "You want to cultivate both physical and mental skills at the same time?"

"Isn't this a standard requirement for geniuses?"

"Where did this theory come from?" Bai Fengxi shook her head and said, "Let's first see your mental talent. If it's not good enough, then we shouldn't waste our time."

Su Chen asked with curiosity, "Is there any standard for classifying this talent?"

The original owner had no memory of this, and very few people at Nanfeng Academy mentioned it; they only knew that there was such a thing as talent.

“Regular talents are generally categorized into brass, silver, and gold, etc…” Bai Fengxi explained. “The quality of your talent mainly determines the speed at which you cultivate and train your skills, and also affects the progress of your career development.” “There are also some special talents…” She paused here before saying, “For example, those that are extremely compatible with certain specific professions, but they are very rare.”

The two discussed it for a while, and not long after, the door opened.

It wasn't Yuan Chenyang who returned, but...

"Brother Su Chen?" Little Pigeon ran over excitedly, then stopped abruptly in front of Su Chen. "Why are you here?"

Su Chen grinned and pinched the little pigeon's cheek. "Look how you're doing. You live in such a big house. You must be very comfortable."

The little pigeon angrily swatted Su Chen's hand away, while Bai Fengxi said gently, "He will live here from now on."

"Huh?" Little Pigeon was surprised and looked at the two of them suspiciously, frowning as she asked, "Brother Su Chen, what did you do with your body again?"

Bai Fengxi's fair face stiffened slightly, and Su Chen said irritably, "Kid, don't talk nonsense."

"When you made me carry bricks before, you didn't think of me as a child, and you even made me carry two more," the little pigeon said disdainfully.

"The more you carry, the more you earn."

"Miss, sir, are you having dinner tonight?" the maid asked as she returned with the little pigeon.

Bai Fengxi came to her senses: "He also wants nutrient solution, or should it be prepared just for Little Pigeon?"

Su Chen closed his mouth, which he had just opened; he had the same idea.

The three chattered for a long time, mostly Little Pigeon talking.

After dinner, Yuan Chenyang still hadn't returned, so Bai Fengxi led him to the tidied room.

"Do you have any body-strengthening potions?" Su Chen called out to her.

Bai Fengxi glanced at him. "Wait."

A short while later, she brought over a bottle of blood-activating medicine.

"It helps with blood circulation..." Su Chen was slightly disappointed, but still said, "Thanks."

Bai Fengxi left without a word.

The room was quite large. Su Chen glanced around briefly, then got into position, poured the blood-activating potion into his mouth, and felt the familiar, surging sensation reverberate through his body.

For four or five days in a row, Su Chen stayed here, and Yuan Chenyang didn't know what was going on, so he didn't come back.

He drank seven or eight doses of Bai Fengxi's blood-activating medicine, so much so that his face turned black every time Su Chen knocked on the door.

That day, Su Chen sat cross-legged on the floor, his skin turning crimson red, with lava-like patterns spreading almost all over his body. His jaw was clenched, and the sweat that welled up turned into steam and disappeared.

Suddenly, Su Chen stopped moving, feeling a sharp pain all over his body. The magma patterns on his skin spread all over his body, and then he felt as if he had entered a hot spring.

[Stone Forging Method - Master]

[Gain Ability - Lava Power: Roll in magma, skin becomes as tough as stone]

[Molten Stone Training Method] Upon reaching the Master level, the gained abilities were immediate. Su Chen felt an unbearable tingling sensation on his skin, as if ants were crawling inside his muscles. This feeling lasted for quite some time before it ended.

"As tough as stone..." Su Chen stroked his skin and could clearly feel the hardening of the stratum corneum.

He grabbed a dagger and tested it on his skin, leaving only a white mark.

"A first-tier class known for its defensive capabilities is just like this," Su Chen couldn't help but think, his gaze towards the panel becoming even more intense.

He has figured out that other training methods can indeed produce extraordinary abilities.

However, each one requires a great deal of time to study and research, and its emergence is not guaranteed, as it is highly accidental.

He only needs to upgrade it to the master level, and the ability will naturally be born. This advantage is unmatched by anyone.
