My profession is too unique.

Chapter 15 Unexpected Attack and Theft: A Special Profession

Waking up refreshed and full of energy, Su Chen looked invigorated.

[Candlelight Spirit Training Method - Mastery: 50%]

The process of becoming a [Secret Tool Maker] is progressing steadily.

After washing up, he didn't continue the tedious exercise, but instead went to the cafeteria to buy a few more nutritional supplements.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the dormitory building, he sensed that something was amiss. There were many more patrols and guards on the roads inside the academy.

Moreover, they were not internal security personnel of the academy; each of them was burly and wore a dark blue, close-fitting combat uniform with thick metal armor on their shoulders, chest, and thighs, and carried black submachine guns.

With a cold and hard expression and an aura of danger emanating from him, Su Chen even sensed that there were quite a few professionals mixed in with him.

"Why are there so many guards? What happened?"

Many students on the road had the same question.

"I don't know. People came yesterday afternoon. I heard they took over all the security work at the school," a student whispered.

"Yesterday afternoon?" Su Chen's expression shifted slightly, and he wondered to himself, "Could it be because of Zhou Zong?"

"It's said that it's because the academy was attacked."

A mysterious voice suddenly came from behind him, and Su Chen slowed his pace. Was it because of Zhou Zong?

"Attacked? Really?"

The students who had gathered around gasped in surprise.

"Of course it's true, otherwise why would they make such a fuss?"

Su Chen listened intently, but was suddenly stopped by a guard with dark skin. The guard didn't say anything, but simply grabbed Su Chen's student card and scanned it on the device in his hand.

She reached out and rubbed his cheeks to make sure he was alright before waving him over.

Although a first-tier warrior has enhanced their body, they are still within the realm of humanity, and this simple examination cannot reveal any clues.

"Don't talk nonsense about what comes after that..." he warned again.

Su Chen looked back. The academy had been attacked? Really?
On his way to the cafeteria, he heard a lot of news. Some said that the school had been robbed, and others said that several senior teachers had died, all of whom were second-tier professionals.

All sorts of rumors are flying around.

"Bai Fengxi?" After buying the nutrient solution, Su Chen turned around and saw Bai Fengxi coming up the stairs.

Zhou Zong was probably still fretting about who knocked him unconscious yesterday, so he didn't show up next to Bai Fengxi.

Su Chen thought for a moment, then walked straight forward.

“Old Bai…” he called out.

What kind of nickname is that? The girls next to her looked completely bewildered.

"Ah, it's him, Jiang He's little white... um... handsome guy..."

Su Chen's face was quite memorable, and a girl recognized him immediately.

Bai Fengxi's gaze fell on the small bag that Su Chen was carrying.

Jiang He is really generous; he's made money so quickly.

She hesitated, but Su Chen said directly, "There's something I need to tell you."

Bai Fengxi thought for a moment, then followed Su Chen to a seat in the corner.

“Zhou Zong has his eye on you and asked me about your identity,” Su Chen said in a low voice. “He doesn’t seem to know anything about you.”

“Zhou Zong…” Bai Fengxi frowned and nodded, then whispered, “Yes, Teacher Yuan has changed my information. I am now the orphan of one of his friends.”

Bai Fengxi spoke without showing any embarrassment.

"No wonder, he probably wanted to use your background to control you," Su Chen said suddenly.

Generally speaking, once an ugly duckling transforms into a swan, it will not want to associate itself with its former self.

For example, “Bai Fengxi, you don’t want your friends to know that you’re actually an inferior vagrant, do you?”

"Then you'd better be careful," Su Chen reminded him, seemingly preparing to get up, but then sat down again and asked curiously, "Who is your teacher?"

“Teacher Yuan, it’s Yuan Chenyang.” Bai Fengxi’s wording was a little strange.

"Vice Principal? Minister of the Supervisory Department?" Su Chen paused, looking Bai Fengxi up and down. Where did such good luck come from? Southern College has several vice principals, and this Yuan Chenyang is undoubtedly a powerful figure, controlling one of the city's violent departments, the Supervisory Department, which is responsible for the city's internal security.

"What are his requirements for accepting students?" Su Chen asked curiously. "How did you catch his eye?"

“I don’t know…” Bai Fengxi glanced at him, looking somewhat troubled, “I’m not quite sure either.”

"Be careful, you might run into a pervert," Su Chen said, feigning jealousy.

Bai Fengxi said "Oh," not taking the joke to heart, and then said, "Don't worry about Zhou Zong, I will warn him."

"However, he won't have time to worry about anything else for the time being, as Zhang Hengyu is keeping an eye on him."

"Hmm?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow.

Bai Fengxi whispered, "Yesterday, Zhang Hengyu used underhanded tactics and stole Zhou Zong's blood-activating medicine, which made him very angry."

"Zhang Hengyu?" Su Chen's eyes were filled with confusion. "Why does he think it's Zhang Hengyu?"

"Because of a spot, a spot to go to Yingfeng City..." Bai Fengxi didn't seem to care.

Quota? Yingfeng Jucheng?
Su Chen was surprised; he hadn't expected such a misunderstanding.

Bai Fengxi's eyes burned with suppressed gossip, "It's said that he was stripped naked, and someone recorded it with a camera. He's warning the whole world about it."

What are you so excited about?
Su Chen's expression was strange as he asked, "How is Little Pigeon?"

Bai Fengxi's expression softened slightly. "It's good. I've already given her basic education, and she mentions you often."

"That's good." Su Chen stood up to say goodbye and prepared to leave.

"You... want to become Yuan Chenyang's student?" Bai Fengxi asked hesitantly.

"Hmm." Su Chen sat down again and sighed, "Jiang He is not a long-term solution."

“That’s right, you’ll get tired of it sooner or later.” Bai Fengxi nodded. She wasn’t some naive girl; she had also been through thick and thin.

Su Chen didn't explain much, but Bai Fengxi said, "Yuan Chenyang's success depends on his talent."

"talent?"

Didn't you say you didn't know why you were being taken in?

Su Chen could tell that Lao Bai was very wary, and his attitude towards him was only slightly better. He probably didn't plan to bring up this matter, but now he changed his mind for some reason.

“Physical talent, mental talent—if you have talent, you can move faster and better than others,” Bai Fengxi explained.

Su Chen seemed to be deep in thought. So, he learned the Candlelight Spirit Training Method so quickly... was it because he had a spiritual talent?
“Hmm…” He looked at Bai Fengxi and said solemnly, “I feel that I also have talent.”

"You?" Bai Fengxi subconsciously looked him up and down, then hesitated to speak.

"Can you help me?" Su Chen asked.

"It's hard to say, I can only mention it briefly, but he..." Bai Fengxi hesitated.

Su Chen noticed that her way of addressing Yuan Chenyang was strange, but she didn't ask. She simply said, "Okay, thank you anyway."

……

"If only I could get in touch with Yuan Chenyang..." Su Chen was still thinking about it when she got back to her dorm.

In that case, Jiang He wouldn't be a problem, Qi Chuan wouldn't be a problem, and they wouldn't have to stay in their dorm all day worrying about their next meal.

……

Deep within Nanfeng Academy, in a high-level office, Bai Fengxi walked in silently.

Yuan Chenyang was rubbing his temples, his bald head gleaming. He glanced at Bai Fengxi and said, "You're here."

"How's the investigation going?" Bai Fengxi asked.

“There are no clues. The person who made the move is very shrewd. However, I have trapped him in the academy…” Yuan Chenyang opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them. “I suspect that someone is working on this from the inside.”

"...The item was only half-deciphered when it was stolen. Ying Feng has already questioned us and will probably send someone over."

Bai Fengxi couldn't help but ask, "What exactly is missing?"

Yuan Chenyang's face tightened. "An unsolved mystery of a special profession..."
