My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 150 - 112: Challenger’s Arena, Part 2

Chapter 150: Chapter 112: Challenger’s Arena, Part 2

“Old Bai…” Su Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at the girl before him. She was dressed in a white training uniform, her face expressionless, exuding an unapproachable aura.

“A rare visitor.” As he invited her in, he told No. Zero, “This is my friend. If she comes again, don’t make her wait outside.”

“This place of yours is really nice.” Bai Fengxi scanned the spacious room, then glanced at No. Zero in her maid outfit. Her tone was indifferent. “Just as expected of a Core Seed.”

“Want to move in together?” Su Chen invited her to sit down, asking casually.

“Forget it.” Bai Fengxi shook her head. “I have to train in a special environment. You can’t provide that here.”

Su Chen shrugged. After a bit of small talk, he learned that Old Bai needed to train in an extremely cold environment, which was quite a hassle.

Their conversation soon turned to the hottest news circulating in the Judicial Court.

A lot had happened in just one morning.

After a brief period of chaos, the old Core Seeds formed a united front, attacking the fairness of the challenge system.

Several Judges, and even leaders from external departments, had spoken out. Their main point was the same: a challenge system was acceptable, but how could fairness be guaranteed?

And after Su Chen and Bai Fengxi finished a simple lunch, the Chief Judge issued another announcement—

“In cooperation with Ying Feng’s research department, a ’Challenger’s Arena’ has been created. It can suppress the Professional Tiers of both combatants to the same level and will be used as the arena for Core Seed challenges.”

“Because the lowest it can suppress to is Tier Three, the two newly recruited Core Seeds, Su Chen and Zhu Xuan, are temporarily exempt from the challenge system until they advance to Tier Three.”

The announcement sent shockwaves through the community!

’A Challenger’s Arena… To think something like this actually exists.’ Su Chen leaned closer to No. Zero, looking at the projected virtual screen which displayed the latest announcement and a detailed explanation.

“…For example, in a battle between a Tier Three and a Tier Four, the Tier Four will be suppressed to the level of a Tier Three. All advanced Professions will be temporarily suppressed, and even their development levels can be brought to a similar state…”

“The Chief Judge really plays his cards close to his chest. He must have been preparing this for a long time.” Bai Fengxi also leaned in, clicking her tongue in amazement.

“Still, even if they’re suppressed to the same level, the experience those old-timers have with their own Professions and their development of them is still a huge advantage.”

It was common knowledge that the same Profession could be worlds apart in the hands of different people.

Furthermore, the announcement also specified that Spiritual Resilience couldn’t be suppressed with precision, which was a disadvantage for Mental Professionals.

It also couldn’t suppress Tier Five Professionals, but none of the current Core Seeds were at that Tier.

“To be able to achieve this much is already quite impressive,” Su Chen said, shaking his head. “In other words, if a challenger doesn’t have the ability to overwhelm those old-timers even with this system, then there’s no need to replace them anyway.”

Bai Fengxi pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. “That’s a good point.”

’This move is ruthless, pulling the rug out from under them. It not only neutralizes public opinion but also incites infighting within the small factions.’ Su Chen thought of the deeper implications.

When he had first become a [Wise Man], his Spirit Talent hadn’t evolved from Red Gold to Mo Cui, so he knew that there were still disparities even among Talents of the same color.

In the past, with the Core Seeds not rotating, some people with excellent Talent and strong Heart were forced to pick a side.

But now, a crack had undoubtedly been torn open from within.

As for the factions supporting them, their will to directly confront the Chief Judge had also been weakened.

As long as someone from their small faction could remain a Core Seed, the situation was still acceptable; it wasn’t a total loss.

’A one-two punch… Impressive…’ The more Su Chen thought about it, the more brilliant he found the move. If Chong Jingtian had really wanted to force the reform through, he certainly could have, being the Chief Judge and all.

But this gradual approach was the least destructive and most stable way to do it.

Bai Fengxi said, “Charge on the first drum, wane on the second, and be spent by the third. Their offensive over ’fairness’ has been neutralized. I wonder if they have any other tricks up their sleeves. They might just be hiding somewhere, crying their eyes out.”

Su Chen let out a laugh. “Those Core Seeds aren’t at the point of panicking just yet. After all, they’ve held their positions for many years. They should still have enough influence to keep their subordinates in line.”

“But over time, dissent is inevitable. The Chief Judge has already exposed their health bars; it’s just a matter of time before someone makes the first stab.”

Su Chen noticed the eager glint in Bai Fengxi’s eyes. “You want a taste of being a Core Seed, too?”

“Of course.” Bai Fengxi made no effort to hide it, lifting her chin slightly. “Anything they can do, I can do just as well, if not better.”

“True.” Su Chen deeply agreed. Old Bai’s Professional promotion speed was nothing to scoff at, and her path had been laid out for her long ago. That in itself was a unique advantage.

Bai Fengxi’s “ambition” was not small, and she never slacked off in her training.

After seeing her off, Su Chen checked the latest news again. Chong Jingtian’s security measures were excellent; the moment the announcement was released, the entire Judicial Court fell silent.

’Old Xia probably didn’t even know beforehand. Devious… so devious…’

Su Chen muttered to himself for a bit. Before long, Gu Bing arrived, carrying two large metal cases.

Su Chen led her to the storage room before opening the cases. Inside were rows of well-sealed Potions. Gu Bing smoothed her hair, pointed to the pale red vials, and began to explain:

“Here are sixty vials of ’Mysterious Spirit,’ and this is ’Black Water,’ thirty vials in total…”

His daily quota was two doses. A rough estimate put the value of these Potions, provided by the Gu Family, at six to seven hundred thousand gold.

Su Chen couldn’t help but be astonished. And this was just for one month, while he was still only Tier Two.
