My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 208 - 137: Bidding, Surprise

Chapter 208: Chapter 137: Bidding, Surprise

Su Chen tapped his chest, producing a dull thudding sound. The feel of his skin hadn’t changed at all, nor had his external sensations.

’How incredible…’ he couldn’t help but marvel, making a quick assessment.

’With this, a Tier Three definitely can’t break my defense. Even a Top-tier Profession with maxed-out development won’t be enough to scratch me. I wonder if Wu Yang, a Tier Four Lower Professional, can break through…’

’What a sense of security.’

Su Chen was quite satisfied. Just the fusion alone, which resulted in a flawless defense, had made all those days of taking a beating worthwhile.

On his status panel, the qualification requirements for [Reverser] were only 46% complete.

As for the Star of Void fragments, today was the Resource Library’s auction day. Gu Bing had already taken a team to make the purchase, so he didn’t need to go himself.

Then, he took out the new D-level Meditation Technique: the Profound Ice Soul Cleansing Meditation Method.

“…Visualize yourself in the extreme cold of the arctic. Guide the frigid energy to temper your essence. Repeat nine times until an ultimate ice forms in your spiritual sea…”

Just as he was mulling it over, the door to the Gravity Chamber opened. It was Bai Fengxi. Her expression was tense. Seeing Su Chen standing there, she was taken aback. “Am I early?”

She glanced at the time. “No, I’m not.”

“You don’t need to beat me up today,” Su Chen said, shaking his head. He added, “And you won’t need to in the future, either.”

“You completed the requirement?” Disappointment was written all over Bai Fengxi’s face, and her mood seemed to worsen.

Su Chen was at a loss for words. Noticing something was off, he asked, “What’s wrong?”

“I lost.” Her voice was low and tinged with frustration. “I lost to Liang Jingcheng in the selection match!”

“It seems that guy qualified for another special profession. He has more tricks up his sleeve now.”

“I see…” Su Chen wasn’t particularly surprised. Liang Jingcheng had been a Core Seed for so many years; he was bound to be highly capable.

Seeing Su Chen’s unsurprised expression, Bai Fengxi looked completely deflated. She sighed. “I was too hasty. I’m not you, after all.”

“Now, don’t say that.” Su Chen shook his head. “If you were like me, you’d be unbelievably overpowered.”

“Ha…” Bai Fengxi laughed in exasperation. “You sure have a way with words.”

After a bit of banter, Bai Fengxi composed herself. Her spirit wasn’t so easily broken. It was just that she had expected to become a Core Seed, and the failure was a bitter pill to swallow.

“Those guys are no joke. Their experience, strength, and the synergy between their Professions are practically perfect…” Bai Fengxi began analyzing the fight, concluding that she had underestimated her opponent.

“They’ve held those positions for years, after all. They have people who specialize in optimizing their Profession builds for them,” Su Chen said, offering some comfort. “You’ve only been at the Judicial Court for half a year, and you’re already challenging them.”

“What about you, then?” Bai Fengxi retorted. “We arrived at the same time.”

“I told you, don’t compare yourself to me. I’m basically cheating,” Su Chen said helplessly. ’Old Bai is extremely competitive. Having climbed her way up from being a refugee just like me, it’s only natural she’d compare herself to me.’

Bai Fengxi said wistfully, “Only after fighting those Core Seeds do I realize just how formidable you are. No wonder you forced Wei Yufan’s hand, making him advance to Tier Five.”

She had been keeping up with news about Su Chen, especially after his fight with Zhu Xuan. But she hadn’t witnessed that battle firsthand; most of what she knew came from word of mouth.

Many people were saying that on the challenger’s stage, no one among the Core Seeds was a match for Su Chen.

Because of this, she had subconsciously underestimated those other Core Seeds. But after stepping onto the challenger’s stage and facing Liang Jingcheng, she finally had a sudden realization of just how powerful Su Chen was, and the crushing pressure he must have exerted on his opponents.

“Forget it. I can’t compare to you. But sooner or later, I’ll be able to go toe-to-toe with those veteran Core Seeds. I’m going back to train.” With that, Bai Fengxi departed with a casual air. “Next time an opportunity to beat you up comes along, remember to call me.”

’She’ll become a Core Seed sooner or later,’ Su Chen thought to himself as he watched her leave.

’Old Bai has the right Heart and more than enough Talent. Once she builds up her foundation, a Core Seed position is bound to be hers.’

After getting a basic grasp of the Meditation Technique, Su Chen tidied up and headed for the Translation Department. For this assisted translation, he had extended the resonance period for much longer. It had taken nearly two months to get a near-complete translation.

’Once this translation is done, I can trade it with Ming Lin for that [Gourmet] Profession…’

Today was for wrapping things up. Qin Qiyuan had mostly finished integrating the professional information and had already given the Profession a preliminary rating.

“I’m tentatively rating it as B-level. One of the requirements is two Top-tier Professions, and it also requires fusion with metallic materials. It should provide a significant boost to physical strength.”

Qin Qiyuan mused, “But as for the specific Professional Ability and any post-qualification restrictions, we’ll have to wait until someone actually takes up the Profession to analyze it.”

“Alternatively, once you qualify for it yourself, you could come and tell us about it. You definitely meet the requirement of having two physical-type Top-tier Professions. The rest aren’t too difficult; it’s just a matter of grinding it out.”

Before a Profession is taken up, its Professional Ability can only be speculated upon. Based on experience, Old Sang was able to deduce the abilities of the [Space Storer], and the [Drug Tester] before that was also relatively easy to figure out.

The clues in the professional information for [Armored Bone Warrior], however, made it very difficult to deduce its abilities directly.

If Su Chen hadn’t already taken up the Profession, it would have been nearly impossible to know that its ability was to fuse with external armor to enhance physical defense.

“B-level…” Su Chen nodded. This meant he could redeem a B-level Profession from the Translation Department. He casually brought it up with Qin Qiyuan.

Qin Qiyuan chuckled. “Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Special Professions like this that provide a direct boost to your power are rare to begin with.”

“Besides, you won’t be able to acquire these two Professions without at least three or four years of hard work.”

Hearing this, Su Chen had no choice but to drop the matter. They made small talk for a while as usual, strengthening their rapport, before Su Chen headed back.
