My profession is too unique.

Chapter 79 You Are the Oriole
"How can it be!"

Zhou Xian suddenly let out an angry shout, and the binoculars he was holding made a clicking sound.

Due to his location, he could only see the scene of the fall from the first-floor lobby. Even though he didn't know who the body was, judging from the reactions of the guards, it certainly wasn't Su Chen.

"The battle was so short, almost silent, and two second-tier professionals died so quietly?"

Zhou Xian was filled with doubt and surprise. Although the two followers of the Ghost God were not high-level professions, their development level was not low. Even though Su Chen was a [Wind Hunter], the gap should not be so large.

He originally intended to use the two of them to see who was hiding in the shadows, but he didn't expect Su Chen to take care of them himself.

“This…” He looked gloomy, staring at the distant surveillance branch, unsure whether he should go in.

Although no one else showed up, the plan had taken an unexpected turn. After hesitating for a long time, he finally managed to say, "Never mind, let's wait for now..."

……

“Two lashes, one lash per person…” Su Chen looked at the headless corpse on the floor.

With his current enhanced strength and weaponry, even a slightly stronger second-tier professional would only be dealt with by "a single ordinary whip strike".

He continued to use the Thunder and Wind Concealment Technique to cover his body in case of any further attacks.

But he was also wondering to himself, this was quite a commotion, what was Zhang Hongbo's backup plan?

This old bastard wouldn't pretend to reconcile while secretly plotting something, would he?

"If that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless," a cold glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

“You’re amazing.”

A hoarse voice came from the corner of the room, and Su Chen's expression changed drastically.

someone!

He acted almost instinctively. Before he could even turn his head, the iron whip in his hand lashed out fiercely. Boiling arcs of electricity spread from his spine to his palm, then climbed up the iron whip like electric snakes.

"interesting…"

The voice seemed somewhat surprised by his fighting style.

Su Chen turned his head at this moment, his pupils shrinking involuntarily.

How could it be him!
Su Chen looked at the familiar, withered old man, who was none other than Xia Hanshi, whom he had only met once and who was known for his infamous reputation!
He thought to himself, "Oh no!" But it was too late to stop, and the green rope had already been thrown in front of the other person.

Silently, the green rope froze in front of him, unable to advance an inch.

"Tsk... Whip-type weapons are quite rare." Xia Hanshi looked at it carefully, as if he had discovered something very interesting. He examined it closely and said, "It can also be imbued with wind and lightning elements. No wonder it could kill these two people instantly."

Was this old man secretly spying on us?

Su Chen tried to pull the green rope back, but he couldn't.

He remained quite wary of the old man, not only because of Gu Bing's embellishment, but also because of the old man's covert surveillance.

Xia Hanshi looked at the hole in the wall of the gravity chamber, and then at the headless corpse that had fallen with its face covered.

The final image freezes on the spot where Su Chen had previously hidden.

The old man paced back and forth in the room. "You discovered them long ago, and even hid beforehand, intending to kill them all in one fell swoop, leaving no survivors. Did you guess their identities?"

Su Chen carefully put the green rope back. This old man was really abnormal; he could see so many problems at a glance. Su Chen became more and more cautious.

"Did you give Yuan Chenyang the top-tier Tier 1 profession?" Xia Hanshi suddenly asked, seemingly inquiring, but actually quite certain.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he hesitated before saying, "It's because the teacher saw my extraordinary talent that..."

"Alright," Xia Hanshi chuckled, interrupting, "Your teacher has already told me."

Su Chen remained silent, unsure whether the old man was bluffing him or if Old Yuan had truly backed down.

Very clever, Xia Hanshi added another comment in his mind.

"You killed Yu Xuan, didn't you?" Xia Hanshi suddenly asked. Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he asked in astonishment, "Yu Xuan is dead?"

Xia Hanshi was quite surprised by his composure in the face of danger, and became even more interested. He said calmly, "Sun Tai has already told me."

After saying that, he added, "This time it's for real."

As expected... he was just bluffing me, but Su Chen remained silent this time, not out of doubt, but because he was unable to answer.

Sun Tai has no chance against Xia Hanshi, and in Xia Hanshi's eyes, this is not a secret that cannot be told. If Xia Hanshi asks, Sun Tai will probably tell him directly.

"No one has ever been able to catch up with me before, and it was you that night, wasn't it?" Xia Hanshi continued, "You were hunting down the followers of the Ghost God, why were you hiding it?"

Xia Hanshi's sharp gaze was fixed on Su Chen, but Su Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Since the other party asked this question, they probably don't know that his purpose is a treacherous weapon.

That's true; even if you told people about pretending to be a follower of a cult, no one would believe you.

However, Su Chen really didn't know the other party's purpose, and his hands were sweating profusely.

Because of Gu Bing's description, he also felt a sense of apprehension towards this old man.

Seeing that Su Chen remained silent, Xia Hanshi did not press him further, but instead said, "Your second-tier profession is quite extraordinary, isn't it?"

“It’s the Gale Hunter…” Su Chen finally had a question he could answer, and whispered.

"Do you take me for an idiot? Wind and thunder dual elements, and you're just a second-tier advanced profession?" Xia Hanshi sneered.

But Su Chen had already prepared a response, explaining, "This is because of the arcane scholar's profession; their abilities are related to the lightning element..."

"Arcane Scholar!" A sharp light suddenly flashed in Xia Hanshi's sinister eyes. "A second-tier mental-based profession?"

He didn't seem too surprised; rather, he seemed to realize that the verification had been confirmed.

"Hmm." Su Chen nodded, sighing inwardly. In order not to reveal more, he could only exhibit a limited amount.

"How could it be so fast?" Xia Hanshi asked, a hint of suspicion in his mind, a slight glint in his gloomy eyes.

The mental aspect is difficult to develop with the help of external aids, and its development speed is inherently slower than that of the physical aspect.

"It's because I started accumulating wealth during my time as a refugee..." Su Chen began, preparing to use the same rhetoric he had used to deceive Yuan Chenyang.

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Hanshi's old face suddenly appeared in front of him with a very strange expression. Su Chen suppressed the urge to back away.

"Are you also a refugee?" Xia Hanshi stared intently at him.

"Also?" Su Chen was surprised. "Could it be that you are old man?"

Xia Hanshi nodded slowly, a chilling killing intent emanating from his gaunt face. "You little brat!"

He had realized why Yang Yan and the other two had reacted strangely when he first met Su Chen.

Su Chen was also puzzled that Gu Bing hadn't told him that Xia Hanshi was a refugee.

But then she realized that she was probably afraid that revealing this would resonate with Su Chen and thus prompt him to consider siding with the other party.

But this person doesn't seem to know anything about me. Didn't they investigate my background? If they wanted to, they would have known long ago.

Xia Hanshi spoke hoarsely, seemingly understanding his doubts, "I thought someone like Yuan Chenyang wouldn't focus on refugees, much less take a refugee as a student."

He was almost certain of something, but he still asked, "What's the situation with your talent?"

Su Chen knew he couldn't hide it today, and said helplessly, "The body is silver, and the spirit is... pure gold."

This was what Lao Yuan initially calculated.

"really!"

An ugly smile appeared on Xia Hanshi's withered face.
