My profession is too unique.

Chapter 170 The Spirit Dragon Cauldron Appears?

"interesting…"

Su Chen never expected that such a change would occur. The Grand Venerables recorded on the panel could actually interfere with reality in a roundabout way.

Or perhaps it was precisely the spirituality of the Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable that caused the reaction.

After all, the majestic figure depicted behind it is essentially a manifestation of the spiritual power that this place possesses.

Su Chen guessed it was the latter, since he hadn't seen any activity on the panel when he encountered danger before.

"Perhaps it's because another requirement has been added, making the Great Venerable more active, while spirituality is just spirituality, and what the panel captures has some characteristics of a true professional."

There might be more than one factor that could cause the change. After pondering for a while, Su Chen put aside his worries, but was quite moved:
"The situation is actually better than I expected."

Before taking action, he had made a plan and had unwavering faith in the power of the panel. He believed that as long as he could complete the requirements after the panel was installed, he would definitely be able to get the job, without having to worry about recognition, selection, or even the requirement of job exclusivity.

At the same time, he also knew that the power of this broken stone slab was limited. He had heard Minglin mention before that the fourth-level professionals brought by Chongjingtian some time ago were seriously injured.

Wei Yufan, on the other hand, had only staggered out. The power of the attack had been greatly reduced for a fifth-tier professional. As long as his defense was strong enough, he could definitely withstand the damage.

Then, Su Chen looked at the newly added job requirements and frowned slightly. "The Mark of the End Thunder and the Seed of Crimson Fire are two things I've never even heard of. Annihilation? It seems like I'm really going to be killed, not just severely injured and on the verge of death."

"If I fail to achieve Nirvana, then I'll just consider myself truly dead."

He was speechless, and could only say that as expected of the Morning Star rank, this was only the second requirement for employment, and it had already reached the point of wanting to kill him.

However, meeting these requirements is still a long way off for him.

There's always a way out, Su Chen said, composing himself.

"The initial flame reignites... This is spiritual blessing. A chance to return to peak physical condition is a life-saving measure, not bad..."

The great dragon coiled around his body dissipated, transforming back into crimson mist that enveloped the space. Su Chen looked at the stone slab that had returned to calm and sensed a faint sense of awe emanating from it.

He then thought, "However... since only a complete spirituality can reveal the requirements of a profession, Hongxuan probably doesn't know anything either, so let's consider this good news for now."

……

Outside the fog, after Su Chen stepped inside, everyone's expressions changed.

Even though Wu Chenpei and Hongxuan already thought that Su Chen was unlikely to gain recognition, they couldn't help but pay some attention to him, since he had defeated Hongxuan and was worthy of some suspicion.

Chongjing Tian and the others couldn't help but feel uneasy. Theory is theory, but if Su Chen couldn't even manage to make a dragon shadow appear, then he would have to respect Yuandu from now on. That couldn't be simply summarized by the word "submission".

"Time has passed." Wu Chenpei shook his head and said, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes. He had been thinking too much. There was only one Hongxuan.

Chong Jingtian and the others had tense expressions. This time refers to the time from when Hong Xuan stepped in until the fog changed, which was only a few minutes ago.

Su Chen has now exceeded this time limit.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the fog changed.

Chongjing Tian and the others narrowed their eyes slightly, revealing their delight. A lifelike little dragon emerged from the crimson mist, swirling around it.

"A dragon's shadow appears, it's done!"

With reverence for the heavens behind him, he loosened his grip on his hands, which had been clenched until they turned white.

Jiang Shumo and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was only Yi Long, they had barely gained recognition, so their efforts were not in vain.

Pu Zhenghong looked surprised. Had he misunderstood? Xia Hanshi hadn't rushed things and had Su Chen take up a lower-level job?

"He actually got recognized?" Wu Chenpei was shocked. "Could it be that this kid didn't advance to a lower-tier fourth-order profession, but rather a higher-tier one?"

"Since it's a superior, how could it be so fast?"

Hongxuan frowned deeply. This scene was completely unexpected, but then he couldn't help but think:
"This person does indeed have a secret. After leaving Crimson Thunder Star, we can recruit him into our ranks. He will surely be a great help in the future."

Even a single dragon shadow is quite remarkable to gain the approval of the Morning Star rank.

As for whether it could pose a threat to his selection, Hongxuan didn't even entertain the thought.

A dragon's shadow appears!
Minglin clenched his fists silently. Thank goodness, Su Chen barely met that standard that was hard to measure.

Seeing the relieved expressions on Chong Jingtian and the others' faces, Wu Chenpei composed himself slightly before saying as if suddenly realizing something.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you all. If you want to become one of the chosen ones, when you are recognized by the spirit, you must at least be able to make the shadows of two dragons appear."

"As for the appearance of the dragon's shadow, it was barely noticeable, and only a matter of spiritual pity. It had no possibility of becoming the chosen one."

He spoke slowly, and Chong Jingtian's relaxed expression froze. Jiang Shumo's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "You say there's no such thing as no such thing?"

Wu Chenpei shook his head slightly and said calmly, "I'm just informing you all in advance. I don't mean to stop you. Anyway, Su Chen is going to that ruin with Hong Xuan. Once the spirituality is united, you will know."

He was only surprised that Su Chen had been recognized, which shattered his judgment on Su Chen's advancement in his professional level. As for the appearance of the dragon shadow, he didn't really care.

Hearing him say that, Chong Jingtian and the others looked even worse. Wu Chenpei's fearless attitude left them no choice but to think more.

Could it be that Yi Long Ying Xian is merely barely qualified and unable to become the chosen one?

If that's the case, then what's the point?
Minglin was completely confused. What was this recognition and selection? This seemed to be just the first round of selection, and Su Chen's appearance with his dragon shadow didn't seem to qualify him for the subsequent selections.

The atmosphere immediately became somewhat heavy.

But at that moment, Minglin suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Look!"

The group, who were originally lost in their own thoughts, subconsciously looked at the crimson clouds and all showed expressions of astonishment, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

Suddenly, the crimson cloud, which had originally been surrounded by only a small dragon, began to fluctuate violently, and several dazzling crimson cracks appeared on its surface.

Suddenly, a second small red dragon appeared.

That's not all, there's a third one right after that!

"Three dragon shadows appear!!" Jiang Shumo exclaimed in surprise, and an ugly smile appeared on Xia Hanshi's old face.

This… Wu Chenpei found it unbelievable, and Hongxuan’s cheeks twitched slightly.

However, the changes are not over yet!

To everyone's astonishment, the three small crimson dragons seemed to be devouring the surrounding crimson mist, growing thicker and clearer.

The surrounding crimson mist grew thinner and thinner, and Su Chen's silhouette could even be vaguely seen.

At one moment, the three small dragons suddenly hovered in the air, their bodies simultaneously bursting forth with dazzling crimson-gold flames. They abruptly changed direction and crashed into the surging sea of ​​mist.

The moment it came into contact with the mist, its body peeled away inch by inch into flowing streams of molten gold light, which tangled wildly in the mist and then merged into an even thicker crimson dragon.

At this moment, Su Chen was standing in front of the blurry stone slab.

The lifelike crimson dragon was coiled around its body, and the crowd could even faintly sense the awe emanating from it.

Pu Zhenghong was in a daze. What... what is this...? Chong Jingtian's heart was pounding. He didn't know what the scene in front of him represented, and it was also different from what Wu Chenpei had said about one dragon and two dragons.

But such a commotion is clearly unusual.

He suddenly looked at Wu Chenpei, trying to discern something from the old fox's face.

But he found himself staring in disbelief. What... what kind of scene was this? Why hadn't he heard the people from the royal court mention it?

But even a fool would know that this is by no means a forced agreement.

It might even surpass the appearance of the Three Dragons.

In his heart, there was even a thought that made him tremble: if the spirituality on this stone slab were intact, Su Chen might immediately become the chosen one of the Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable!

"The three dragons unite as one, and the Spirit Dragon Cauldron appears!"

Hongxuan was horrified and exclaimed inwardly, "How is this possible!"

This is the appearance of the Spirit Dragon Cauldron, clearly a premonition of becoming the chosen one, but it is merely a fragment of spirituality, and such a scene should not occur.

He couldn't understand it; a variety of emotions surged in his mind, but then a chilling killing intent emanated from them.

"If Su Chen were here, I would never be chosen by the Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable again."

This is an irreconcilable conflict!
Among those present were many with higher professional ranks than him, and upon sensing the killing intent emanating from Hongxuan, their gazes turned cold.

Xia Hanshi stood behind Jiang Chumo and the others, his gaze slowly withdrawing from Su Chen's back in the crimson mist.

A faint flush appeared on his face, which was as cold as iron.

A pair of will-o'-the-wisps of eyes immediately fixed on Hongxuan.

"Hongxuan!"

Wu Chenpei, barely regaining his senses, hurriedly shouted sternly.

Hongxuan was startled and quickly suppressed his murderous intent, lowering his head.

Seeing the two of them lose their composure, Chong Jingtian understood what was going on.

"Holy Envoy, the scene before us seems to have transcended the appearance of the Three Dragons. What does it signify?" Chongjingtian inquired, seemingly genuinely just curious.
Wu Chenpei's cheek twitched uncontrollably, and after a moment he said calmly, "I don't know anything more."

At that moment, the great dragon coiled around Su Chen suddenly dispersed, the thin mist thickened again, and everything became invisible once more.

“Su Chen, he…” Ming Lin stood at the back, watching Wu Chenpei and the other two lose their composure, his chest pounding, his blood rushing to his head, and he felt a sense of loss.

I can't help but wonder, given that both of us have the talent of black jade, why is Su Chen so powerful?

Wei Yufan's face turned ugly. He looked at Hong Xuan and cursed him under his breath as a good-for-nothing.

Soon, Su Chen emerged from the mist, and pairs of eyes converged on him, some with surprise, some with relief, some with excitement, and some with... ill intent.
Hmm? Su Chen vaguely sensed something was wrong and looked at Hong Xuan, but the other party just lowered his head and his expression was not visible.

As for the holy envoy, he remained expressionless, showing none of his previous excitement.

"Good, good!" Chong Jingtian laughed and stepped forward, patting him on the back repeatedly.

Jiang Shumo and the others looked at him with a gentleness he had never seen before.

Seeing this attitude, Su Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed that the effect shown to the outside world was even better than he had imagined.

This time, Su Chen didn't intend to hide it. Instead, he was afraid that some misunderstanding might occur, preventing him from touching the other stone slab again.

The career advancement was too rapid; there's no explanation for it.

However, in such a scenario, depending on the degree of spiritual approval, the more impressive the performance, the better, and there are no potential consequences.

"I wonder what it looked like from the outside?" Although he was curious, he didn't want to ask directly, so he could only say, "I have fulfilled my mission."

"More than that, more than that..." Chong Jingtian said repeatedly, sweeping away the pent-up frustration in his heart. Although he didn't know why Su Chen's talent was clearly inferior to Hong Xuan's, there was still such a big commotion.

Perhaps it can only be said that their spiritual perspective is different from theirs.

"Everyone, this matter is settled. You may leave." Chong Jingtian waved his hand, and the heavy metal gate closed once more.

Although everyone had different feelings, they all closed off their senses and left, just as they had when they arrived.

.........

Meanwhile, the moment Hongxuan gained recognition.

Outside Crimson Thunder Star, a boundless expanse of gray-white mist stretched out.

In the vast unknown, a magnificent metal palace stands in the void, its base made of interlocking gears, with dark golden energy veins flowing through it.

The palace is covered with a strange material that blends various metals, and twelve metal beams support the dome. The chains below the base emit a crimson glow, with a dim star tied to the end.

Inside the hall, a human-shaped body made of bronze sat cross-legged, its posture both filling the entire hall and resembling an embryo curled up in its mother's womb.

Its surface flows with the dark luster unique to bronze, and every muscle texture is engraved with layers upon layers of extremely complex energy circuits.

At a certain moment, it suddenly opened its eyes, and one could vaguely see the dense mechanical structure inside its pupils. It turned its head to look at the red statue on the side of the hall, which was trembling slightly at this moment.

"Great Venerable Crimson Flame Thunder, someone has actually gained recognition?"

Taking advantage of this unusual movement, his eyes shone brightly, reflecting a large amount of data stream that entered the crimson statue. With the help of his spiritual senses, which had been activated again in the dark, he quickly determined his location.

"Judging from the coordinates, it seems to be one of my junior brother's home planets. We sent people to investigate back then, but they didn't seem to find it."

Immediately, he transmitted a mental signal, "Azure Sky!"

Soon, a streak of light shot in from the sky. The newcomer had pale blue skin and a diamond-shaped scale between his brows. He knelt on the ground and respectfully called out,

"Master."

"Your martial uncle once served under the Crimson Flame Thunder Venerable, but now someone has been recognized. Go there," the bronze giant said calmly. "Retrieve your professional spirituality and bring back the person who has been recognized."

"Great Venerable Crimson Flame Thunder?" Qing Cang looked up in astonishment and couldn't help but ask, "Where is Master?"

"His home planet, Crimson Thunder."

Upon hearing this, Qingcang was even more surprised and asked in confusion, "Where? Didn't we send people to investigate back then?"

"That is already the edge of the Dust Star Sea, shrouded in mist all year round, and there may be omissions."

"Understood." Qingcang nodded, then hesitated for a moment before cautiously asking, "May I take a few people with me?"

"You also aspire to the position of the Crimson Flame Thunder Lord," the bronze giant said bluntly.
