My profession is too unique.

Chapter 94 Morning Star Steps! Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable!

The Deciphering Stone seems to have been prepared specifically for me.

"The translation department is full of old scholars with an astonishingly wide network of connections. Sometimes, getting them to do you a favor depends on personal relationships," Old Xia said coldly, seemingly having learned his lesson in this matter and unwilling to delve deeper. He then added:

"If one were to perfectly choose one of these professions, the improvement in talent would be astonishing, but almost no one could achieve that. Although the increase would not be significant if one forced themselves to choose a profession, it would still be considered a job."

At this point, he could sense that Xia Hanshi was slightly agitated. "But the Translation Office will definitely not pay attention to you. I'll go back and visit the Translation Office and try to get the Sage for you."

"You've worked hard," Su Chen said.

Xia Hanshi composed himself and added, "Once you arrive in Yingfeng, someone will meet you."

"You arrived early this time. There's still some time before the trial assessment. Until then, you're not part of the trial court, so be careful."

Perhaps feeling that this was a bit too cautious, Xia Hanshi added, "But if others bully you, there's no need to be afraid."

"Yes." Su Chen nodded, able to sense the concern in Xia Hanshi's tone.

After seeing Lao Xia off, the gangway gradually closed, and the spaceship set off again.

.........

"Translation Department..."

Su Chen finished his practice. Without the gravity chamber, the efficiency of his body-strengthening technique decreased significantly, but his meditation technique continued to operate at high speed.

He exercised until he was dizzy before resting, and couldn't help but recall Old Xia's words.

He has a panel, and that Holy Word Stone, which allows him to know a profession's information with just a glance. He's definitely more powerful than all the translators combined.

"For my panel, the more professions I acquire, the better. The more professions I have, the higher the chance of triggering that special emotion."

"Even if it can't be triggered, it can still be of help in case of any unexpected events, like the time with the Black Tuo followers."

He thought to himself that this translation office seemed like a good fit for him.

"However, the ability to identify a profession at a glance must not be exposed; we must proceed cautiously."

The environment on the spaceship was relatively safe, and Su Chen meditated thoroughly, soon falling into a deep sleep.

.........

After leaving the ruins, the rest of the voyage went smoothly for a while, but Su Chen's potions kept running out, and it took him more than half a month to get close to Ying Feng.

The day before arriving in Yingfeng,
Inside the room, Su Chen clenched his teeth, and his skin would occasionally crack open with cuts the length of a finger, but strangely, no blood flowed out.

And it quickly closes again, repeating the cycle until no more wounds appear.

[The Gale Body Tempering Technique has reached the Master level, granting the ability—Gale Resilience: Increases physical defense.]

He had reached the master level in the Gale Body Tempering Technique. The power of the wind could be faintly flowing under his skin. He not only felt much lighter, but his skin also became more resilient.

[Wind and Thunder Envoy: 40%]

[Mystic Master: 38%]

[E-Rank Virtual Star Meditation Technique - Mastery: 70%]

Because there was no gravity chamber on the spaceship, and his mental talent was slightly higher than his physical talent, his development progress as a mind master gradually caught up.

"It's time to switch to a different body-tempering method..." Su Chen took out a stack of documents from his storage space. It was the body-tempering method that Yuan Chenyang had given him before leaving—the [Thunder Radiance Body Tempering Method].

By stimulating muscle fibers with electromagnetic energy, strength and endurance are enhanced, and electromagnetic energy is guided to penetrate the muscles. Each cycle feels like being electrocuted.

This body-forging method is not compatible with the [Wind Hunter] skill, so additional conditions are required, namely, the activation of electricity.

If one's own profession cannot drive it, then one can only rely on external power.

There are only so many body-tempering methods in Nanfeng City; it's impossible to cover everything, so there's no choice.

Fortunately, his Gale Hunter has transformed and can now also summon lightning.

Try to get into position, follow the guidance, and stir up the elemental power hidden in the cells.

Crackling!

Arcs of electricity crackled across his skin, and Su Chen felt a tingling sensation spread throughout his body, sending a chill down his spine.

It took a long time to gradually get used to this stimulation, and I only fell into a deep sleep after exercising until I was completely exhausted.

Early the next morning, Su Chen heard a bustling noise in the corridor, with a constant stream of footsteps and suppressed shouts of excitement.

"...Can you see Ying Feng now?"

"Excuse me, let me see..."

"...Is that Yingfeng? It's incredibly magnificent..."

Ying Feng ruled over 124 cities similar to Nanfeng.

The main rulers of Yingfeng had all lived there, and naturally held it in the highest esteem.

Under his influence, his subordinates and younger generations naturally admired Ying Feng immensely.

"Finally here..." Su Chen heard the noise and rubbed his stiff cheeks. He had been shocked for most of yesterday and his body still felt numb and tingly.

After washing his face, Su Chen went out and arrived at the public rest area, where the portholes on both sides were already crowded with people.

Exclamations rose and fell. Some of the more mature individuals, though able to suppress their outward reactions, couldn't help but reveal their unease through their flushed faces.

Zhang Hengyu was among them, his eyes wide open, his head almost sticking out of the porthole.

"Old Su, over here..." Du Yu, having learned Su Chen's special way of addressing him, stood by the porthole and excitedly called out to him, "I saved you a seat."

Seeing this, the people nearby consciously squeezed to the side.

"Yingfeng..." Su Chen couldn't help but be intrigued and wanted to see this magnificent city that housed over 100 million people, so he went to the window and glanced at it.

In the hazy mist, a magnificent metal city came into view, surrounded by rolling hills and a large plain nestled among the peaks.

Su Chen's gaze first focused on the five "Dome Beams" in the sky, surrounding the largest artificial sun in the center.

Compared to the south wind, the artificial light source system here is much more advanced, with each component having its own function, working together to create a light source that is almost indistinguishable from nature.

It should be mid-afternoon now, and the artificial sun is showing a sunset red hue, faintly draping the city in a red veil.

Even in my past life, I didn't get to see such a beautiful sunset every day.

"I heard that Yingfeng's artificial light source moves over time, but I don't know why," someone said.

Equally striking are the massive, semi-circular, nine-ringed metal structures encircling the city, nested at precise geometric angles, with dark gold energy flowing across their surface, creating a stunning aesthetic.

"It's truly magnificent! No matter how many times you see pictures or hear descriptions, nothing compares to seeing it with your own eyes," Du Yu exclaimed repeatedly. "Three years as a soldier in the outer court, a lifetime of rich experiences."

“My dad only stayed here for a few years, but he kept nagging me for over ten years.”

Seeing no response from the side, Du Yu couldn't help but look at Su Chen, only to find that the other's eyes were unfocused and his face showed an extremely strange expression.

It wasn't quite excitement, nor quite shock; rather, it was a longing, an extreme longing, even like…like…

greedy!

Du Yu was startled, wondering what Su Chen was thinking and why he had such an expression on his face. "...Where exactly is it recorded?" Su Chen was puzzled, staring blankly at the panel that suddenly popped up.

[A Morning Star tier profession has been discovered—Crimson Flame Thunder Lord. This profession can be obtained after fulfilling the requirements.]

[One of the job requirements: One must possess the Xuanzi talent.]

【? ? ? 】

The unprecedented Morning Star Rank profession was something Su Chen had never even heard of.

The amount of information contained within it is enormous!

"Morning Star Rank? A rank above the numerical rank?" Su Chen wondered to himself, his heart pounding. "Profound Purple, even above the Dark Emerald talent, I wonder how much higher..."

"Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable... This name is too awesome. Is it related to Crimson Thunder Star?" Su Chen's mind was highly active, and various thoughts kept popping up.

"Where exactly is it recorded?" His face was almost pressed against the porthole as he stared intently at Ying Fengcheng.

Although its interface is powerful, it still requires some text or information to reveal the profession; simply seeing a city will certainly not reveal anything.

"...Are they those curved rings?"

Su Chen squinted and stared for a long time before finally finding some clues. On those metal semicircular rings, there were sparsely engraved strange symbols.

It is extremely scattered, and only when it runs to a certain point will it turn into a straight line of text, as if it were pre-programmed.

"So that's how it is..." Su Chen murmured. A Morning Star rank profession, without even thinking about it, must be the highest level imaginable.

Unlike others who find it useless to know their profession information, he has a profession panel where he can gain something simply by entering his profession information.

For a profession at this level, even the slightest emotional outburst, visible through the gaps between their fingers, is enough to feed them.

If he were to take up his post early, or even temporarily... even just a quick peek would be worth it.

"This trip was worthwhile." Su Chen composed himself, suppressing his surging emotions.

The metal ring only recorded one job requirement. He stared at it for a long time, but the panel did not react further.

"What a pity..." he thought greedily, the more complete the career information revealed, the higher the chance of triggering emotions.

"I wonder how many job requirements there are for this level of profession, tsk tsk..." Su Chen thought to himself, "This first Xuanzi talent is scary enough, and I've never even heard of this level."

"Since this requirement for employment is engraved on a metal ring, there might still be others in Yingfeng City..." Su Chen couldn't help but think, and his desire to go to Yingfeng grew stronger than ever before.

"Others can't decipher it, but I can!"

"Old Su, Brother Su, Grandpa Su, are you alright?" Du Yu, standing nearby, asked cautiously, his heart pounding as he watched Su Chen's changing expression.

"It's nothing..." Su Chen came to his senses, exhaled, and exclaimed, "As expected of Yingfeng, it truly is a magnificent city."

You don't look shocked at all; you look more like you want to devour Ying Feng.

Du Yu muttered to himself, while everyone continued their excited conversation, unaware of Su Chen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yingfeng is almost here. We will be docked at the public dock..."

Gu Bing has arrived and explained the precautions to take after landing.

Su Chen listened casually, his gaze frequently drifting through the porthole to Ying Feng.

Morning Star Steps, Crimson Flame Thunder Supreme!

.........

Ying Feng was already close at hand. As the spaceship slowed down and got closer, everyone felt even smaller.

Spaceships flew in from all directions, and there were quite a few of them. Below, a long line of armored vehicles stretched out and disappeared into the end of the fog.

"Even though the fog isolates everything and the interior is fraught with danger, it has still managed to form a unique living system." Su Chen observed everything and couldn't help but sigh.

Their spaceship waited outside for a while, seemingly checking identities, before bypassing the line of other spaceships and heading straight into Yingfeng.

It was docked in an open-air spaceship dock located on the edge of the city.

"Wait, don't get off the ship..."

Seeing that many people were gathered at the gangway, Gu Bing couldn't help but shout, "I still need to register your identities later, otherwise the surveillance guards will arrest you."

Many people remained motionless, watching the group gathered at the gangway, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The people gathered at the gangway couldn't help but blush. They were all top students from Nanfeng Academy, but most of them came from ordinary backgrounds.

Although I had a rough understanding of the wind on the spaceship, I didn't know these details.

Buzz--
The gangway hummed, and staff members were already waiting outside, dressed in khaki uniforms—the Population Management Bureau.

Gu Bing went to make contact. The other party, who had initially seemed somewhat indifferent, immediately became serious upon noticing the badge Gu Bing handed over, and quickly beckoned her to come forward as well.

"Residents of Nanfeng City, please wait a moment. Data is being imported to generate your identification codes..."

They accessed the spaceship's database, verified the official key belonging to Nanfeng, and took over the files of these individuals.

"This is your identification card. Please keep it safe, especially the code on it. Please remember it."

A transparent magnetic card was dispensed from the machine next to the staff member and handed to Su Chen.

Su Chen took it, glanced at it briefly, and then stuffed it into his pocket.

"This is still a simplified procedure, probably because of the endorsement of the court. My dad said that when they came back then, they checked it three or four times inside and out..." Du Yu took his magnetic card and carefully put it away.

"Wang Pan!" Gu Bing suddenly shouted from outside the spaceship. The sound of synchronized footsteps rang out, and everyone's eyes turned to look, holding their breath.

They were a team of judges dressed in black armor, each two meters tall, with the leader being particularly imposing, like a small mountain.

"Where is the thing?" the other person asked in a deep voice.

"Follow me." Gu Bing led the other person in, and everyone subconsciously made way, watching the other person head deeper into the spaceship.

Are they here to escort the Black Buddha statue?

Su Chen guessed, and sure enough, not long after, the group of judges came out carrying metal boxes.

Suddenly, the discussion stopped. The burly man at the head of the group looked around and asked in a low voice, "Which of you is Su Chen?"

Suchen?

No one spoke, but the unconscious glances of the crowd still gave away Su Chen's location.

"You're Su Chen?" The burly man swept over, his eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

Su Chen frowned slightly. "I haven't even arrived in Yingfeng yet, and my name has already appeared?"

"Wang Pan?" Gu Bing walked over and blocked Su Chen's way. "This black statue was seized by Judge Xia. We should send it back as soon as possible and make sure nothing goes wrong on the way."

"Mr. Xia..."

Upon hearing this address, the burly man's cheek twitched, and he turned and left.
