My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 153 - 113: An Accident, Everyone Is Gearing Up

Chapter 153: Chapter 113: An Accident, Everyone Is Gearing Up

Su Chen didn’t wake up until mid-afternoon. He’d chugged some Nutrient Liquid before falling asleep, and now he felt completely energized.

The first thing he did was have No. Zero summarize the news.

He learned that the announcement about the ranking system had just been released, and everyone was still adjusting.

After washing his face, Su Chen eagerly entered the Gravity Chamber again.

’Training to the point of exhaustion greatly increases the required rest time, which actually wastes more time. I already figured out my limits yesterday, so I’ll lower the intensity a bit today…’

’I wonder if there are any professions that allow for quick recovery…’

…

「Meanwhile, in another villa not far away.」

Chu Yunze and the others had gathered.

Compared to the ambition they’d had when they first entered the Judicial Court, they were now reeling from Chong Jingtian’s one-two punch.

“A challenge-based system…” Chu Yunze gave a wry smile, but his eyes glinted with a strange light. “Our Chief Judge really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.”

“Rankings… rankings…” Zhu Xuan stared coldly at the virtual screen before him, which displayed a list of six people.

“For now, it’s just sorted by Tier. Don’t worry about it,” Chu Yunze reminded him.

“If it’s by Tier, why is Su Chen above me?” Zhu Xuan’s gaze fell on the last person on the list—himself. Su Chen was fifth.

“Uh…” Chu Yunze faltered. ’Don’t you know the reason yourself?’ he thought.

Of course, Zhu Xuan knew, which was why his expression was so sour. That guy had practically become his inner demon. For the past two days, his dreams were filled with the moment Su Chen sent the Assessment Judge flying and revealed his Talent.

“You have to become Tier Three to officially join the challenge rankings. There’s no rush,” Chu Yunze said comfortingly.

“So you’re saying I’ll always be one step below him until then?” Zhu Xuan’s train of thought was bizarre. He gritted his teeth. “I’m going to change my advancement profession. I’ll advance to Dark Night Butcher.”

Chu Yunze’s expression changed slightly. “That’s a Tier Three Top-level Profession! You don’t have enough accumulation. It’s too dangerous!”

“No, I have to advance!” Zhu Xuan’s expression was icy. He knew how strong Su Chen was. If he just followed the standard path and advanced to Tier Three Upper, he still wouldn’t be Su Chen’s match.

Besides, he knew that with the introduction of this challenge-based ranking system, the moment he advanced to Tier Three, he would be met by a pack of Inner Court Seeds with greedy eyes.

“Why bother?” Chu Yunze couldn’t help but ask. Even if he couldn’t become the Chief Judge, with Zhu Xuan’s Talent, he was guaranteed to become a Chief Judge at the very least.

But if he risked advancing to Tier Three Top and died in the process, it would all be for nothing.

“If you’re having second thoughts, you can leave too.” Zhu Xuan tossed out the sentence and headed for the basement.

Chu Yunze looked around. Aside from Meng Qi, who looked completely lost, everyone else had mixed expressions. He sighed deeply.

The group had fallen apart.

「…」

Things were turbulent inside the Judicial Court, but the outside world wasn’t quiet either. The chain reaction caused by the Pang Family’s destruction was still ongoing.

Some sharp-eyed Judges noticed that there were more Inspector Guards patrolling near the headquarters. Every time an Inspector Guard saw one of the Judges, they would glare viciously, as if they wanted to eat them alive.

In the shadows, a group had also gathered because of the Pang Family’s fall.

In the basement of some building, the walls were carved with complex symbols that occasionally flickered with a faint light. Several figures stood in the center.

One had a face covered in black patterns with a black vertical pupil carved on its head. Another had a sallow, featureless face. And there was one with crimson pupils.

“The Pang Family is gone. Ying Feng has noticed our clandestine activities.”

“What the hell happened? There were no signs. How could they be wiped out?”

“The Black Tuo faction must have lost their minds. They went after that student of Xia Hanshi, the Judicial Court’s Core Seed. Maybe that’s what drew their attention…”

A Black Tuo Follower looked up, suppressing the urge to correct the other’s phrasing. He said in a low voice, “The invitation went out one day, and they were wiped out the next. No matter how fast it was, it couldn’t have been *that* fast. Ying Feng was clearly prepared. It has nothing to do with that Su Chen.”

“Regardless, we need to tell the people outside to speed things up. Also, Black Tuo’s Divine Blood was lost. What about the plan to corrupt Wei Yinsuo…?”

“I will retrieve it,” the Black Tuo Follower said solemnly. It wasn’t just because of the plan, but because losing the Divine Blood was a form of blasphemy.

“There weren’t many people who made a move that night. If we investigate them one by one, we’re bound to find a clue.”

“If you want to get yourselves killed, don’t drag us down with you! Are you afraid Ying Feng *won’t* find us?” the other Deceitful God’s Followers retorted in unison. “The plan isn’t even complete yet!”

“Our actions within Yingfeng City are also meant to draw attention for those on the outside. We just need to be careful. Low Tier Judicial Guards can be easily manipulated into talking. We’ll start with them.”

“Besides, whether we like it or not, Ying Feng is bound to start a large-scale screening, both openly and covertly. Instead of sitting around waiting to die, we should take the initiative.”

The Deceitful God’s Followers fell into thought. They weren’t afraid of death, only of dying a meaningless death.

Soon, they came to agree with the Black Tuo Follower’s idea.

“Let’s do it. Give Ying Feng something to keep him busy.”

「…」

Once again, he trained late into the night. The Gravity Chamber opened with a WHIRR, revealing Su Chen’s muscular body, covered in sweat that reflected the surrounding light.

“Holy crap!”

He had just stepped out when he was scared half to death. A hunched figure was standing ominously in the shadows.

“Teacher?”

Looking closer, Su Chen recognized it was Xia Hanshi and couldn’t help but complain, “You’re terrifying! You could have at least made a sound.”

“Such a coward,” Xia Hanshi glanced at him.

’With your creepy vibe, standing in the shadows like that, who wouldn’t be scared?’ Su Chen grumbled inwardly, but on the surface, he just gave a sheepish grin.
