My profession is too unique.

Chapter 168 Fourth Tier? Su Chen?
Even though he had observed the emotional reactions of many professions on the panel, Su Chen couldn't help but exclaim this time: "I can't believe it can be like this."

Keep it up, everyone.

Su Chen thought to himself, this is equivalent to getting a job for free.

"What are you thinking about, so engrossed?" Sang Hanhai called out when Su Chen didn't react for a long time.

"Oh..." Su Chen snapped out of his thoughts, "I was thinking, this kind of job would be best paired with a job that allows for rapid recovery. Does the Translation Department have any?"

"You think this place is a treasure trove?" Sang Hanhai was speechless. "Repairing injuries requires the assistance of a healer. As for the kind of extremely rapid self-repair you mentioned, if it existed, you would have known about it long ago."

"Moreover, according to Tang Chen, the more severe the injury, the higher the enhancement. If you repair your injuries, then you won't get any enhancement, right?"

"I estimate that this profession is best used when the patient is slightly injured."

Although Sang Hanhai complained, the job wasn't really a dead-end job, otherwise the translation department wouldn't have accepted him.

"Ok."

Su Chen was clearly disappointed that he didn't get the fast self-healing career he wanted.

After chatting with Sang Hanhai for a while and asking him to check if there were any other good special professions, he picked up his suitcase and said goodbye.

Back at his residence, Su Chen went to the gravity chamber and used his telekinesis to automatically close the door.

“A spirit…” Su Chen’s eyes flickered. He opened the box and reached out to grasp a floating essence of spiritual energy, which darted around in his hand like a swimming fish.

Spiritualist - Taking office!

Su Chen's heart stirred slightly, and the wisp of spiritual essence trembled violently at his fingertips. The pale golden energy began to flow backward, spreading upward along the veins of his finger bones, causing a faint stinging sensation wherever it passed.

As it surged into his skull, Su Chen's pupils immediately emitted a pale golden light, as if the liquid melting from bone-chilling ice was flowing into his mind.

[Spiritualist successfully assumed the profession, gaining the professional ability - Spirit Body, increasing skill proficiency acquisition rate by 50%]

"50% again." Su Chen paused for a moment. Given his current level, his reaction to this job was not intense, and he adapted quickly.

"I wonder if I've reached the Crimson level." After getting used to it for a moment, Su Chen took out the talent testing device, placed his hands on it, and saw two dark lights, but they were now as deep as ink.

"Not quite there yet... It seems the gap has widened considerably, but judging by the color, it should be at the limit of dark green." Su Chen was already mentally prepared and not disappointed. Talent and professional rank are different; they improve linearly rather than in leaps and bounds.

"As for the remaining spiritual essence, let's hide it away for now." Su Chen closed the box and threw it into the storage space: "Using only one copy to take up the post may not be a good thing in the eyes of Lao Chong and the others."

……

"The council of elders has finished its discussions and finalized a preliminary plan."

Early the next morning, in the central conference room of the courtroom, Chongqing Tian looked solemn. Xia Hanshi sat to his left, and Jiang Shumo and others sat in order, while the opposite side was empty.

"According to preliminary intelligence, the number of Faceless Demon followers is exceptionally large, and the statue is three thousand meters tall."

An image was projected before my eyes. In the hazy mist, faceless figures wearing robes were slowly walking towards me, and the huge statue was faintly visible.

Even without seeing it in person, the sense of oppression is overwhelming.

"To be on the safe side, we will deploy four elders, including myself, and leave one elder to guard Yingfeng," Chong Jingtian said in a deep voice. "At the same time, the Security Bureau will also allocate 70% of its personnel."

"I have ordered the subordinate cities to send 50% of their manpower to support us and form a coalition."

"Xia Hanshi and Lei Tieyan will guard the court. The rest of you will be leaving with me in a few days. The other judges are already on their way back."

No one objected to these routine orders. Jiang Shumo pondered for a moment and asked, "What about Wu Chenpei?"

Ying Feng didn't exactly send out all his troops, but they almost did. They only left one elder to guard the area, and Wu Chenpei was a ticking time bomb. They didn't trust this person.

“Wu Chenpei…” Chong Jingtian’s eyes narrowed, as if he had sensed something. He swallowed back what he was about to say and said indifferently, “He’s here.”

The others noticed this as well, and they all composed themselves and looked toward the door.

A short while later, a knock sounded at the door, and Wu Chenpei pushed the door open and entered. His gaze swept over everyone, pausing on Xia Hanshi for a moment, before turning to Chong Jingtian: "What brings you here, Chief?"

"Please sit down." Chong Jingtian gestured, and Jiang Shumo then realized that the opposite seat was reserved for Wu Chenpei.

Wu Chenpei sat down, greeted everyone, and slowly looked at Xia Hanshi. "It's been a long time, Judge Xia. You're still as dashing as ever."

"I can't compare to you," Xia Hanshi said indifferently.

There was a subtle tension between the two, but Chongjingtian broke the silence at the right moment and said gently, "Holy Envoy, I have come here to ask for your assistance."

"Oh?" Wu Chenpei looked surprised. "Is there anything else you need my help with?"

Seeing that he was pretending to be ignorant, Chongjingtian was not annoyed and slowly said, "The army of Faceless Ghost believers is pressing in, and Yingfeng has no choice but to be cautious. You are a seventh-level professional, and I hope you will do your best to help."

"This..." Wu Chenpei looked troubled: "Although we share a common hatred for the enemy, I should logically lend a helping hand, but..."

"Old man..." Before he could finish speaking, Xia Hanshi interrupted him coldly and rudely: "We don't have time to talk nonsense with you. We need to focus on fighting the enemy. We don't have time to deal with you. You have two choices: either help us or we'll join forces to kill you first."

Wu Chenpei's face stiffened. Chong Jingtian didn't even look at Xia Hanshi, as if he had expected him to say that, and stared at Wu Chenpei quietly.

Wu Chenpei's expression turned serious. "Since everyone has made things clear, I can lend a hand, but I have one condition: let Hongxuan see the spirit first."

He frowned, showing a deep respect for the world.

“The Chief should already understand that Hongxuan will eventually gain spirituality regardless of the circumstances. Must we wait until Su Chen advances to the fourth rank?” Wu Chenpei, having already prepared his answer, patiently guided him.
"It will take at least another six months. Besides, even if Hongxuan gets recognition first, Su Chen is still not without a chance."

Although Chong Jingtian was reluctant and did not want Hong Xuan to see the stone slab before Su Chen, he was now in a bit of trouble.

When Yingfeng's top management went out to fight the enemy, it was impossible for them to leave Wu Chenpei behind, but it was also impossible for them to kill him as Xia Hanshi suggested.

This matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

"You're willing to go with Hongxuan if he watches the stone slab?" Xia Hanshi suddenly asked.

“That’s right.” Wu Chenpei said firmly. This first step must be completed as soon as possible, no matter what. Now is the best opportunity.

So much time has passed, and the resistance in my heart towards God has diminished considerably.

"Okay, I promise you." Xia Hanshi made the decision for Chong Jingtian.

Hmm? Chong Jingtian's brow twitched. Xia Hanshi hadn't discussed this with him beforehand, but he hadn't said much either.

A hint of surprise flashed across Jiang Shumo and the others' eyes.

accepted?
Wu Chenpei was slightly taken aback. The resistance was much less than he had expected. Chong Jingtian's agreement was as expected, but he had thought there would be a few more words of negotiation.

Then he exclaimed in admiration, "Judge Xia is indeed decisive."

"Then it's settled," Chong Jingtian said calmly.

After agreeing on the terms, Wu Chenpei left in a rather pleasant mood.

After he walked away, Jiang Shumo looked at Xia Hanshi and hesitated, "This matter..." "It's already the best method right now," Chong Jingtian shook his head and said, "As Wu Chenpei said, it's just a matter of a few days earlier or later."

Xia Hanshi made the decision for him, which made him less conflicted.

After saying that, he added helplessly, "As for Su Chen, we can only wait and see."

"This happened too suddenly, what a pity," Jiang Shumo sighed.

Xia Hanshi then said slowly, "Su Chen has advanced to the fourth rank."

"Hmm...hmm?" Chong Jingtian was already thinking about his next move and didn't react immediately. After a slight delay, he looked at Xia Hanshi and asked hesitantly, "Fourth Rank? Su Chen?"

Jiang Shumo asked in astonishment, "How could it be so fast? A high-level profession? Could it be a low-level profession? But even if it is a low-level profession, this is still quite fast, isn't it?"

You Shan looked surprised, and a strange look appeared on Lei Tieyan's usually cold and hard face.

"A lower-level profession? You guys are underestimating me too much." Xia Hanshi sneered. "I can't tell you the specifics, but it's a profession that's extremely suitable for Su Chen. I put a lot of effort into it, and the intensity is not low."

Knowing that Su Chen would occasionally surprise him, Xia Hanshi deliberately left himself some room for maneuver.

"That shouldn't be this fast," Jiang Shumo still found it hard to believe.

"You don't believe me?" Xia Hanshi's face turned cold. "Or do you think I don't have this ability?"

"Who said I don't believe you?" Jiang Shumo was annoyed by the retort and snorted coldly, "You are, you're amazing."

"Fourth rank, that's perfect then." Chong Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief; in any case, this was good news.

“So, all that’s missing is a spiritualist,” You Shan said.

“Su Chen took the two portions of spiritual essence yesterday and informed Sang Hanhai later that he had taken up the position of spiritualist,” Chong Jingtian said. “He was lucky and completed the initiation without much trouble.”

"Oh? How's your talent?" You Shan became interested.

“It still appears as black jade, but it’s now double black jade,” Chong Jingtian said, his expression quite excited. “Hongxuan’s physical side is crimson, and his spiritual side is also black jade. The difference between him and Hongxuan isn’t that big.”

"Double black jade..." Everyone was stunned for a moment. If Hongxuan hadn't appeared, they would have never heard of such a thing before.

Chongjingtian had already stood up. "There's no time to lose. We need to finish this matter as soon as possible so I can take Wu Chenpei to fight off the Faceless Ghost cultists."

.........

"Finally it's my turn."

By mid-afternoon, Minglin was in high spirits, waiting in the courtroom hall. He had come immediately after receiving the notification.

He had a premonition that this time he would be taken to see the stone slab.

Although he had heard from the people who went before that they would all get injured to some extent, he was confident in himself. How many people could have such talent as Mo Cui?
Soon, he saw Wei Yufan rushing over as well. Wei Yufan seemed to have noticed him as well, and when he arrived, he had a look of anticipation on his face.

But upon seeing Minglin, he quickly composed himself and returned to his usual calm and collected demeanor.

With him?

Minglin pondered to himself, and deduced from the people the chief had gathered some time ago that there must be certain requirements.

The oldest among them was only twenty-nine years old, while Wei Yufan was already older than that.

Was my estimate wrong?

"You've arrived..." Chong Jingtian came downstairs, followed by Xia Hanshi, Jiang Shumo, and others.

"chief…"

Minglin greeted them one by one, but couldn't help but be surprised by the large commotion.

In the previous instances, wasn't it always the chief judge who went alone, without the presiding judge accompanying him?

Wei Yufan greeted him, but when he met Xia Hanshi's deep-set eyes, he couldn't help but shudder.

He knew perfectly well what would happen to Xue Fei. He had heard that the intelligence-gathering team had been silent for several days, and no one knew whether they were dead or alive.

"Teacher, why haven't you come back yet?" he couldn't help but think.

Anyone else?
After seeing Chong Jingtian and the others respond, Minglin waited to the side, wondering what was going on in his mind.

"The inner court of the Tribunal has basically been visited by all the seeded talents, those with crimson gold talent, and the younger fourth-tier professionals. Who else is there that I don't know?"

After waiting for a while, two figures came.

"It's them?"

Minglin was surprised to see that the visitors were none other than Yuandu Holy Envoy Wu Chenpei and Hongxuan.

Is Hongxuan going too?
He frowned, and suddenly connected everything that had happened recently, and a guess suddenly came to him:

"Could it be that the purpose of the people from Yuandu is also for the professions recorded on the stone tablet?"

"No wonder Hongxuan wanted to challenge us in the arena; this is proof."

Thinking of this, Minglin felt a pang of fear, and his original confidence vanished. He knew Hongxuan's strength all too well; the other party's talent was even greater than his, and he was even two years younger than him.

All things considered, there's no way they can compete with the other side.

How could the chief possibly agree to let this guy go? How could they possibly compete then? Minglin grumbled inwardly, but he also knew that something must have happened that he didn't know about.

"Everyone..." Wu Chenpei greeted with a smile.

Hongxuan also spoke up, "Chief Judge, esteemed judges."

Since being defeated by Su Chen last time, he had not shown his face for a long time. This time, however, he returned to his calm and composed demeanor, and greeted Chong Jingtian and the others with great care.

This is Hongxuan… Xia Hanshi glanced at him, his eyes flickering, lost in thought.

"Is anyone still missing?"

Wu Chenpei asked when they would depart, but Chong Jingtian told him to wait a little longer.

"It seems this person has a lot of influence, making everyone wait here." Wu Chenpei rarely joked, which showed that he was in a good mood.

Chongjing Tian chuckled, but said nothing.

"Who else is there?" Minglin muttered to himself, glancing outside. He immediately spotted a figure rushing towards them. He frowned, seemingly trying to identify the person, then looked surprised. "Su Chen?"

He called out, surprised and wondering why Su Chen had come. Could it be that he had already advanced to the fourth level?
Wei Yufan's face darkened, but noticing Xia Hanshi's gaze, he quickly lowered his head.

"Teachers, Chief Judge, esteemed judges... I'm sorry, something came up and I was held up for a while." Su Chen rushed in and immediately explained upon seeing the large group of people in front of him.
