My profession is too unique.

Chapter 173 Old Xia Wants to Dominate the Court of Judgment [Dancer of the Wind]

How much evil god power has the Tribunal amassed?
Su Chen was unaware of this.

But what he knew was that within Ying Feng's jurisdiction, all items related to the Ghost God, including Ghost artifacts, would eventually be sent to the Court of Judgment.

The power of the mysterious god can actively stimulate professions, causing them to have emotional reactions.

The more of this kind of thing, the better, but he really had nowhere to find it.

Previously, he had considered collecting the artifacts from the court, but those things were heavily guarded, and if he were to actually retrieve an artifact, it couldn't be returned empty.

Later, Su Chen let the matter go, but the situation is different now, as Chong Jingtian is about to leave.

Old Xia is in charge. As long as we can fool Old Xia, this is a treasure trove that we can take and seize!
Su Chen had just thought of this, which is why he changed his mind from "dreaming" to "conditional foresight".

“Consuming the power of the Demon God…” Xia Hanshi paused, somewhat surprised.

"Right now, I don't even know if I've been corrupted or not," Su Chen said with a bitter face. "The tests in the courtroom have been done several times, and there haven't been any problems."

"Alright." Xia Hanshi looked at Su Chen's appearance and shook his head, saying, "Stealing the power of the Ghost God for one's own use is quite dangerous, but there are similar professions. The Secret Arts lineage specializes in this."

"Wu Chenpei also said that professional spirituality is most abhorrent to ghosts."

The fact that the Great Venerable Spirit dislikes the Demon God is something Su Chen has never heard before, which indirectly gives him credit.

"That's good." Su Chen seemed relieved.

“However, you shouldn’t tell anyone else about this,” Xia Hanshi then cautioned, “including Chongjingtian.”

"Understood." Su Chen nodded, then felt that Lao Xia might have misunderstood something, and emphasized, "I admire Chief's concern for Ying Feng, but you are my teacher."

To be honest, his trust in Chongjingtian was not as great as Minglin's.

Xia Hanshi narrowed his eyes, waved his hand, and Su Chen wisely left.

"Foresight really does exist." Xia Hanshi's gaunt body almost sank into the sofa. "A way to solve so many problems at once..."

.........

"Old Xia really does things in unconventional ways. Once Old Chong leaves, he'll probably just pull out the ghost device."

On the way back, Su Chen couldn't help but rub his hands together, wondering just how many kinds of supernatural powers Ying Feng possessed.

He was genuinely curious whether the other powers of the evil gods actually had any effect.

“However, since we’ve used up the power of the Demon God, we definitely have to give something in return, like the ability to foresee… tsk…” Su Chen thought of this again, “Go back and disguise yourself, and see if any of those things have come to the city recently.”

"By the way, after Old Chong leaves, collect all the other believer professions of the strange gods and feed them to the [Priest].

As he thought about it, Su Chen couldn't help but grin. Thinking about it this way, with Chong Jingtian gone, Xia Hanshi really did have the final say in the courtroom.

Given Lao Xia's reputation, probably no one would dare to disobey him.

Only Lao Xia would disregard the many rules of the courtroom.

"Oh dear... it's finally my turn to lord it over everyone."

Just as she was thinking this, her residence came into view. She looked up and saw Minglin waiting at the door.

However, this time he didn't come to chat with Su Chen, but to relay a message, with a hint of envy, "Old Sang is looking for you, asking you to reply to his message."

"Old Sang?" Su Chen was taken aback. He then looked down and opened his bracelet, where he found several messages. Judging from the time, they had all been sent to him recently, asking him to go to the Translation Department, saying that there was something to discuss.

After replying, Su Chen said to Ming Lin, "Sorry, I'm usually on Do Not Disturb mode, so I made you come all this way."

"It's alright." Minglin waved his hand and said, "It's probably urgent, go quickly."

Su Chen went straight to the translation office, where Sang Hanhai was already waiting for him at the door.

"Old Sang, why are you waiting at the door?" Su Chen was quite surprised, as he had never received such treatment before.

Sang Hanhai stared intently at him, "You kid, you're really unbelievable..."

Is this how you describe a person?

Su Chen secretly scoffed, realizing that Pu Zhenghong had probably already told Sang Hanhai about his recognition.

"But it's gratifying that we've outpaced Yuandu." Sang Hanhai was in a good mood. He was indeed shocked when he first learned about the appearance of the Three Dragon Shadows.

Although he had some expectations for Su Chen, he didn't expect the kid to be so fierce.

"You called me here in such a hurry just to flatter me?" Su Chen teased.

"What, is that not allowed?" Sang Hanhai asked with a smile, and after pulling Su Chen into the translation office, he said mysteriously, "It wasn't me who called you here, it was my senior brother who called you here."

"Old Pu?" Su Chen couldn't help but recall the scene when Pu Zhenghong left with a dark face.

Judging by the time, he probably hadn't even returned to the translation office yet, so he notified Sang Hanhai to call him over.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?" Su Chen asked.

"I don't know," Sang Hanhai shook his head. "However, Senior Brother seems a bit strange."

"Do you know what kind of grudge Elder Pu and my teacher have? They seem to get along very badly," Su Chen asked again.

"Oh, I do know a thing or two about this." Sang Hanhai looked around and lowered his voice: "It still involves that matter from back then."

"After the incident at the ruins, your teacher strongly advocated for a forced exploration of the ruins to rescue people, but Chongjingtian, as a core seed at the time, did not recommend it for the sake of the overall situation."

“Your teacher wanted to seek help from my senior brother, and in the end, my senior brother sided with Chongjingtian.”

Sang Hanhai sighed, "Chong Jingtian has always been that kind of person, steady and calm, while my senior brother is considered a coward by your teacher."

It's actually quite simple; it's a matter of grudges and entanglements from the older generation.

Su Chen listened and followed Sang Hanhai into the small house.

Pu Zhenghong was still in his hut, but this time he didn't use his divine language. He sat upright and waited.

"Old Master Pu..." Su Chen hurriedly said, seeing the commotion.

Sang Hanhai was stunned for a moment.

Over the years, apart from divine words, almost nothing else has been able to get Pu Zhenghong's attention.

Every time I came, the other party was studying the divine language and rarely even looked up.

"Sit down." Pu Zhenghong extended his hand, and Su Chen sat down cautiously.

“You’re already a fourth-tier professional. I heard from Xiao Sang that you have a special fondness for special professions, so I specially found a suitable one for you,” Pu Zhenghong said, and with a wave of his hand, a virtual projection popped up.

Sang Hanhai was increasingly astonished. How long had it been since Pu Zhenghong had analyzed someone's career or provided career advice?
Su Chen subconsciously glanced over--
[A special profession has been discovered – Wind Dancer. This profession can be taken after fulfilling the requirements.] [Profession Requirement 1: Must have held at least four top-tier physical combat professions.]

[Second requirement for the profession: Without relying on external forces or obscuring perception, perfectly dodge 100 attacks of the same level.]

[Third requirement for the profession: Obtain the Wind Song Gem and Storm Feather, capture the Wind Spirit in the eye of an eighth-level storm, and form the Wind Dance Pact.]

Special professions do not have a fixed rank, but some professions do have requirements related to the number of people employed in the main profession, which is equivalent to a disguised rank requirement.

You need to be at least at level four to get the job, and all of them must be top-tier professions. Essentially, it requires physical strength, so this profession must be quite impressive.

"The [Wind Dancer] specializes in speed and is quite strong. After taking the job, their abilities will allow you to easily escape from danger. You are already good at speed, so this should be like adding wings to a tiger," Pu Zhenghong said.

[Transforming into a flowing breeze, with the will of a startled dragon, the Wind Dancer gracefully paid homage to the Crimson Flame Thunder Lord, reducing the number of perfect dodges to ten.]

With the difficulty reduced slightly, Su Chen turned his attention away from the panel and hesitated, saying, "I can't accept something for nothing, you mean..."

Previously, Pu Zhenghong's attitude towards him wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. It was only after he helped him expose Yuandu's underhanded tricks that his attitude improved considerably.

After being recognized by the Great Venerable, is that much face you have?

“Alas…” Pu Zhenghong sighed, his gaze deep and unfathomable, “My days are numbered.”

"Senior brother!" Sang Hanhai's expression changed.

Last words?

Judging from this situation, Su Chen felt extremely uneasy. Could it be that he was being asked to do something he couldn't possibly accomplish?

Pu Zhenghong raised his hand to stop Sang Hanhai and slowly said, "My talent is limited, and I have wasted too much time on divine oracle, consuming too much energy."

"Xia Hanshi thinks I'm a coward, but I think he's brainless. My research into divine language is actually to restore the ruins to their original state."

It didn't seem like he was being told something impossible to accomplish, so Su Chen straightened up.

Pu Zhenghong said, "We brought out the Radiant Light and the broken stone slabs from the ruins, which put the ruins on alert and greatly increased their danger."

"It's practically impossible to break through the power of that ruin head-on, but divine language might be able to manipulate it."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen became even more curious about just how charming Ji Rou was.

It caused Xia Hanshi's personality to change drastically, made Pu Zhenghong sit in the translation office for thirty years researching divine language, and made those who revered the heavens...

Uh, Lao Chong seems pretty normal, but no, he never married, and...

Su Chen suddenly remembered Chong Jingtian's unusual nature. He was the only chief in the history of the court who did not cultivate family power. His parents had passed away more than 20 years ago, and he was still alone.

Su Chen couldn't help but speculate that the woman who the three of them couldn't forget must have something special about her...

“My divine words have failed me, but his student is about to enter the ruins.” Pu Zhenghong chuckled. “It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong between the two of us anymore.”

“This is for you.” Pu Zhenghong took out a sacred stone, on which various symbols flickered intermittently.

Su Chen glanced at it and, seeing no profession listed, exclaimed in surprise, "This is..."

“This is the culmination of over thirty years of my efforts. It may be useful to that ruin, or it may not be…” Pu Zhenghong sighed. “Take it. It’s better than nothing.”

He actually figured it out?
Su Chen reached out and took it, then put it away. He realized that Pu Zhenghong probably called him over and brought out this thing because he was a little unwilling to give up after seeing that Xia Hanshi's persistence had yielded results.

But for some reason, he really felt that Pu Zhenghong in front of him was exuding a sense of decline and old age, as if what he had just reached out and received was truly the other party's hard work.

Su Chen remained silent for a moment, then, remembering something, he couldn't help but ask:

“Elder Pu, when I came here, I noticed a few symbols engraved on the defensive spirit ring. I didn’t think much of them before, but this time I felt a vague sense of familiarity with them, which was somewhat similar to the feeling I had when I saw that stone slab.”

"What's with that symbol?"

“Defense Spirit Rings…” Pu Zhenghong paused slightly, then nodded and said, “Yes, those symbols are from the stone tablet.”

Through Pu Zhenghong's explanation, Su Chen realized that the hazy mist covering the stone slab could be easily brushed away by Chongjingtian's power, and the stone slab's spirit could not harm him.

They tried to study it for a while, but in the end they could only transcribe two lines of symbols.

Pu Zhenghong further explained: "But the material contained in those two lines of symbols also came from the ruins, which is why they could be barely copied."

With that thought cleared up, Su Chen chatted with Pu Zhenghong for a few more minutes before taking his leave.

“My senior brother…” Sang Hanhai saw him off, sighing all the way.

Su Chen offered a few words of comfort and left as Sang Hanhai watched him go.

"Ruins, ruins..." Su Chen couldn't help but think in the car, "I wonder what it looks like."

Su Chen was somewhat somber after being moved by Pu Zhenghong's dying words. After a brief moment of reflection, he opened the panel.

The progress of "The Tramplers" has reached 3%, which is quite fast, I must say. Those who are foul-mouthed deserve to be punished by everyone.

"The requirements for the Wind Dancer are quite troublesome..." His gaze then turned to the newly acquired profession.

"Without external assistance, and with all five senses concealed, one must perfectly dodge the attack just before it strikes, with only a split second... tsk tsk..."

"And this Wind Dance Contract looks quite complicated. I've never heard of it before. I'll go back and ask around."

As Su Chen pondered his plans, he returned to his residence in the courthouse, by which time it was already dusk.

Descending into the gravity chamber, the familiar environment gradually calmed his thoughts.

At this moment, everything that had happened today flashed through his mind like flowing water. Su Chen slowly exhaled, "Right now, we have to wait for Ying Feng to finish dealing with the Faceless Ghost cultists before we can go to the ruins."

"Well, there's no need to hide the fact that we're at the fourth level anymore. Let Gu Bing prepare the auxiliary medicine first."

He opened his bracelet, sent a message, and quickly received a reply from Gu Bing, starting with a series of question marks, which was enough to prove the shock of this senior sister.

As if she had recovered from her shock, she replied after two or three minutes, "I understand, I'll go prepare now."

Su Chen then remembered another thing he had planned to do, and his body gradually disappeared into the spatial interlayer, and the priest began to disguise himself.

First, in the Black Priest state, within the range of perception, there was no difference from before; it was completely empty.

"They haven't sent anyone for so long, they're probably all busy preparing for that holy banquet," Su Chen muttered, frowning.

Immediately, he transformed into the form of a faceless demon priest.

This time, Su Chen's expression changed slightly. He immediately sensed an unusual feeling. At the edge of his perception range, it should be the direction of Ying Feng's southern district.

"This feeling...it feels somewhat familiar." He pondered carefully; it wasn't the feeling of a strange weapon, but rather...

“The Faceless Demon God.” Su Chen suddenly remembered that this was the feeling Meng Qi gave him, and his eyes flashed: “He actually got in.”
