Chapter 94: Morning Star Tier! Crimson Flame Thunder Great Venerable!
Deciphering the Holy Word Stone seems like it was specially prepared for me.
“The Translation Department are all old pedants with terrifyingly wide connections. Asking them for help sometimes depends on whether you click with them.” Old Xia’s voice was cold, as if he had suffered a loss in this matter and was unwilling to discuss it further, then he said:
“These professions, if perfectly appointed, provide an astonishing boost to talent, but almost no one can achieve it. Forced appointment doesn’t boost much, but at least it’s an appointment.”
At this point, he could feel Xia Hanshi faintly excited. “But the Translation Department definitely won’t bother with you. Wait until I go back and make a trip to the Translation Department to find a way to get you a Saint.”
“Thank you for your hard work.” Su Chen couldn’t help but say.
Xia Hanshi restrained his emotions and instructed again, “After arriving at Ying Feng, someone will come to meet you.”
“You’re going early this time, and there’s still some time before the Judge assessment. Before that, you’re not a person of the Court of Justice, so be careful in your actions.”
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 feel the concern in Xia Hanshi’s tone.
After seeing off Old Xia, the gangway gradually closed, and the spaceship set off again.
………
“Translation Department…”
Su Chen stopped, without a Gravity Chamber, the efficiency of the Body Tempering Method dropped quite a bit, but the Meditation Method was still running at high speed.
He trained until his head was dizzy before resting, and couldn’t help but recall Old Xia’s words.
He had a panel, that Holy Word Stone, just one look and he could know the profession information, definitely more powerful than all Profession Translators combined.
“For my panel, the more professions I acquire, the better. The more professions, the higher the chance of triggering that special emotional reaction.”
“Even if it doesn’t trigger, in case of any accident, it can still help, like the time with the Heituo Follower.”
He calculated that this Translation Department seemed very suitable for him.
“However, the ability to scan out a profession with one look definitely can’t be exposed, so I still need to take it slow.”
The environment on the spaceship was still relatively safe, Su Chen meditated very thoroughly, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
………
After leaving the ruins, the rest of the journey was uneventful. Su Chen’s potions were continuously consumed, and it took a full half month before they approached Ying Feng.
The day before arriving at Ying Feng,
In the room, Su Chen gritted his teeth, cracks the length of fingers occasionally appearing on his skin surface, but strangely, no blood flowed out.
Moreover, they quickly closed again, repeating over and over, until no more wounds appeared.
【Gale Body Tempering Method has reached Master Level, gained ability — Gale Resilience: Increases body defense.】
Gale Body Tempering Method has reached Master Level, faint Gale Power flowing under the skin, the whole person not only much lighter, but also with tougher skin.
【Wind and Thunder Emissary: 40%】
【Mystic Mind Master: 38%】
【E-level Void Star Meditation Method — Proficiency: 70%】
Because there was no Gravity Chamber on the spaceship, and his Mental Talent was slightly higher than his physical body, the development progress of Mystic Mind Master had gradually caught up.
“Time to switch to a different Body Tempering Method…” Su Chen took out a stack of information from his Storage Space, which was the Body Tempering Method that Yuan Chenyang had retrieved for him before leaving — 【Thunder Radiance Body Tempering Method】
Stimulates muscle fibers through electromagnetic stimulation, enhances strength and endurance, guides electromagnetic energy to penetrate muscles, each cycle like being electrocuted.
This Body Tempering Method is not compatible with 【Gale Hunter】, so it requires additional conditions, to draw in electricity.
If one’s own profession can’t activate it, one can only rely on external electricity.
South Wind City’s Body Tempering Methods are only so many, can’t cover everything, no choice.
Fortunately, his Gale Hunter had already transformed, and he himself could also draw in lightning.
He tentatively assumed the stance, followed the instructions, and stirred the Elemental Power hidden in his cells.
Crackle!
Electric arcs appeared on the skin surface, Su Chen only felt a numbing sensation instantly spread throughout his body, the whole person shuddering.
It took a long time to gradually get used to this stimulation, training until exhausted before falling into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Su Chen heard the corridor bustling with people, footsteps incessant, and suppressed excited shouts.
“…Can you see Ying Feng yet?”
“Make way, let me see quickly…”
“…Is that Ying Feng? So damn majestic…”
Ying Feng, ruling over one hundred and twenty-four or five cities similar to South Wind.
The main rulers among them had all lived in Ying Feng before, naturally revering it immensely.
Influenced by this, their subordinates and younger generations naturally aspired to Ying Feng immensely.
“Finally arrived…” Su Chen heard the commotion, rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks; yesterday he was electrocuted for half a day, now his body still felt numb and tingly.
After washing his face, Su Chen went out and came to the public rest area, where both sides of the portholes were already crowded with people.
Exclamations rose and fell, some with more mature minds could suppress their external reactions, but their somewhat flushed faces still betrayed their inner unrest.
Zhang Hengyu was among them, eyes wide open, head almost sticking out the porthole.
“Old Su, over here…” Du Yu had learned Su Chen’s special address, standing by the porthole, excitedly shouting at him: “I saved a spot for you.”
The few people nearby, seeing this, consciously squeezed to the side.
“Ying Feng…” Su Chen couldn’t help but have his curiosity piqued, wanting to see this majestic mega-city bearing over 100 million people, and glanced out the window.
In the hazy mist, a majestic metal mega-city was emerging, surrounded by undulating terrain, with a large plain perfectly nestled among the peaks.
Su Chen’s gaze first focused on the five “Qiong Guang” in the sky, clustering around the central largest artificial sun.
Compared to South Wind, the artificial light source system here was much more advanced, each with its own division of labor, jointly outlining light sources nearly approaching natural ones.
The time now should be late afternoon, the artificial sun showing a sunset red, faintly able to see the city draped in a layer of red veil.
Even in his previous life, he couldn’t see such a good “sunset” every day.
“I heard that Ying Feng’s artificial light sources also move with the passage of time, don’t know why.” Someone couldn’t help but say.
Equally eye-catching were the huge metal arc-shaped rings encircling the city, in a semicircular shape, fully nine of them, nested in precise geometric angles, with dark golden energy flowing serpentinely on the surface, presenting a stunning beauty.
“Truly magnificent, no matter how many times you see pictures or hear descriptions, it’s not as good as seeing it with your own eyes.” Du Yu beside him sighed repeatedly, “Three years outer court soldier, a lifetime Ying Feng affection.”
“My dad only stayed here a few years, but nagged me about it for over ten years.”
Seeing no response nearby, Du Yu couldn’t help but look at Su Chen, only to see the other with scattered eyes and an extremely strange expression on his face.
Not excited like excitement, not shocked like shock, but a longing, extreme longing, even like… like…
Greed!
Du Yu himself was startled, not knowing what Su Chen was thinking to show such an expression.
“…Exactly recorded where?” Su Chen was astonished in his heart, staring blankly at the suddenly popped-up panel.
【Discovered Morning Star Tier profession — Crimson Flame Thunder Great Venerable, can be appointed after completing job appointment conditions.】
【Job Appointment Condition One: Own talent is Xuan Purple talent.】
【???】
An unprecedented Morning Star Tier profession, Su Chen had never even heard of it.
The amount of information contained was too great!
“Morning Star Tier? Rank above numerical ranks?” Su Chen speculated inwardly, heart pounding, “Xuan Purple, above Ink Jade Talent, who knows how many levels higher…”
“Crimson Flame Thunder Great Venerable… this name is too badass, related to Crimson Thunder Star?” Su Chen’s mind was highly active, various thoughts continuously emerging.
“Exactly recorded where?” His face almost pressed against the porthole, staring intently at Ying Feng City.
Although his panel was powerful, it at least needed some text or information to reveal the profession; just seeing a city definitely wouldn’t reveal it.
“…Those arc rings?”
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, stared for a long time, finally finding some clues: on those metal semicircular rings, sparse peculiar symbols were inscribed.
Extremely scattered, only when rotating to a certain moment would they, as if preset, form a straight line of text.
“So that’s how it is…” Su Chen murmured, Morning Star Tier profession, no need to think, definitely as high as it gets.
Unlike others who know profession information but can’t use it, he had a profession panel; as long as entered, it was a gain.
For this rank of profession, even a slight emotional reaction would leak enough for him through the fingers.
If it let him appoint early, or temporarily appoint… even just lifting the pants for a peek would be worth it.
“Worth coming this trip.” Su Chen restrained his emotions, suppressing the agitated feelings.
The metal rings only recorded one job appointment condition, he stared for a long time more, but the panel had no further reaction.
“What a pity…” He thought greedily; the more complete the profession information revealed, the higher the chance of triggering emotional reaction.
“Don’t know how many job appointment requirements for this level of profession, tsk tsk…” Su Chen pondered inwardly, “This first one Xuan Purple talent is scary enough, this rank, never even heard of.”
“Since this job appointment requirement is inscribed on the metal rings, perhaps in Ying Feng City there are more…” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, the desire to go to Ying Feng became unprecedentedly stronger.
“Others can’t decipher it, but I can!”
“Old Su, Brother Su, Grandpa Su, you okay?” Du Yu beside him was startled, watching Su Chen’s changing expression, asked cautiously.
“I’m fine…” Su Chen came back to his senses, exhaled and praised: “Worthy of Ying Feng, truly a towering mega-city.”
Your old appearance doesn’t look shocked at all, more like you want to eat Ying Feng.
Du Yu grumbled inwardly, the crowd still excitedly chatting, not noticing Su Chen.
“Everyone, Ying Feng is almost here, we will dock at the public spaceport…”
Gu Bing had already arrived, explaining matters to note after landing.
Su Chen listened absentmindedly, gaze frequently peering through the porthole at Ying Feng.
Morning Star Tier, Crimson Flame Thunder Great Venerable!
………
Ying Feng was already close at hand, the spaceship slowed down, and as it got closer, the crowd felt even smaller.
Spaceships flying in from various directions were not few, and below there were lines of War Chariots stretching endlessly, disappearing into the mist.
“Even with the mist isolating everything and immense dangers inside, it has still formed a unique living system.” Su Chen watched everything, couldn’t help but sigh.
Their spaceship waited outside for a while, seemingly verifying identities, then overtook the queueing spaceships and directly entered Ying Feng.
Docked at an open-air spaceport located at the edge of the city.
“Wait, don’t get off the ship yet…”
Gu Bing saw many gathered at the gangway, couldn’t help shouting, “Wait a bit, still need to register your identities for you, otherwise you’ll be caught by the Inspector Guards.”
Quite a few hadn’t moved, looking at the group gathered at the gangway, couldn’t help letting out “hehe” laughs.
The people gathered at the gangway had somewhat reddened faces; they were all outstanding from South Wind Academy, but mostly from ordinary backgrounds.
Although they had a rough understanding of Ying Feng on the spaceship, they didn’t know such details.
Buzz–
The gangway hummed, staff already waiting outside, wearing khaki uniforms — Population Management Bureau.
Gu Bing went to coordinate, the other originally casual, but upon seeing a certain badge handed by Gu Bing, his expression immediately turned solemn, quickly calling over colleagues.
“Everyone from South Wind City, please wait a moment, importing data, generating your identity codes…”
They connected to the spaceship’s database, verified South Wind’s official key, and took over these people’s files.
“This is your identity recognition card, keep it safe, especially the code on it, remember it well.”
A transparent magnetic card spat out from the machine next to the staff, handed to Su Chen.
Su Chen took it, glanced briefly, and stuffed it into his pocket.
“This is still a simplified process, probably because of the Court of Justice’s endorsement. I heard my dad say, when they came back then, they checked inside and out three or four times…” Du Yu took his own magnetic card, carefully put it away.
“Judge Wang!” Gu Bing suddenly shouted from outside the spaceship, neat footsteps sounded, everyone’s gazes turned, holding their breath.
It was a team of Judges in black armor, each over two meters, the leader especially burly, like a small mountain.
“Where’s the stuff?” The other’s voice was muffled.
“Follow me.” Gu Bing led them in, the crowd subconsciously making way, watching them head to the depths of the spaceship.
Come to escort the Heituo Statue?
Su Chen guessed, and sure enough, not long after, this group of Judges carried out the Metal Box.
Suddenly, the crowd’s discussion voices stopped, the burly leader swept left and right, voice low: “You all, who is Su Chen?”
Su Chen?
No one spoke, but the crowd’s instinctive gazes still exposed Su Chen’s position.
“You’re Su Chen?” The burly man looked over, eyes with scrutiny and probing.
Su Chen frowned slightly, I haven’t even arrived at Ying Feng, but my name got here first?
“Judge Wang?” Gu Bing walked over, blocking in front of Su Chen, “This Heituo Statue is Chief Judge Xia’s spoils, better send it back quickly, don’t have accidents on the road.”
“Old Xia…”
Hearing this address, the burly man’s cheek twitched, turned and left.
