My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 250 - 159: Entering the Stage

Chapter 250: Chapter 159: Entering the Stage

’Su Chen…’ Wu Chenpei’s brow furrowed slightly.

Tang Chen let go of the Judge he was holding, allowing the man to leave in excitement. He mused, “He’s that Core Seed. The one Pu Zhenghong used as a shield that day. That was him too.”

Of course, Wu Chenpei knew who Su Chen was. They had spies in Yingfeng City. Although they couldn’t infiltrate the upper echelons of the Judicial Court, they could still purchase less confidential information.

All four cities spied on each other like this, and the higher-ups all turned a blind eye.

“Discovered in a lower-level city. Spiritual Side Ink Jade Talent, Physical Side Red Gold Talent. Suspected to be a Triple Tier Double Top. Previous profession information is unavailable…”

Wu Chenpei watched the Judges walk back one by one, their faces alight with excitement, and said in a calm voice:

“After joining the Judicial Court, his only recorded battle was against the deceased Core Seed, Zhu Xuan. He used the advantage of his Spiritual Side Top-tier Profession to catch his opponent completely off guard.”

“Mmm,” Tang Chen nodded and mused, “He’s the only one worth paying attention to. However, although he’s a Triple Tier Double Top, he came from a lower-level city. His Tier One and Tier Two Professions are probably nothing special.”

“The strange thing is his promotion speed. It’s too fast, as if he doesn’t need to complete the profession requirements. He’s also four or five years younger than Hongxuan.”

“Chong Jingtian seems to think he can fight Hongxuan.” Wu Chenpei’s gaze passed through the crowd of Judges and landed on the young man walking toward the challenge hall.

“Haha…” Tang Chen laughed and shook his head. “Even if this Su Chen’s Tier One and Two professions were both Top-tier, it would still be very difficult for him to beat Hongxuan.”

“With such a rapid promotion speed, how could that kid have had any extra time or energy to focus on special professions?”

A Professional’s strength is composed of a main profession as the core and special professions as support. Developing the main profession and acquiring special professions both require time and energy.

Su Chen’s age was a given, and he was discovered in a lower-level city. Many things were already self-evident.

“Besides…” As he spoke, Tang Chen suddenly shut his mouth, a sheepish look on his face.

“Watch your words and actions.” Wu Chenpei retracted his warning gaze and looked up at the sky. “Chong Jingtian is in a real hurry. The bet was just made, and he couldn’t wait to summon him.”

“Chong Jingtian sent for him?” Tang Chen was surprised, but then said, “That makes sense. He’s the only hope left. A fight was bound to happen sooner or later.”

Wu Chenpei nodded, then turned and walked back into the arena. “In that case, let’s claim the Saint and then head back.”

Tang Chen followed close behind.

…

“Among us, Su Chen is the only one left who can fight,” Liang Jingcheng sighed. He waited for the people below to leave first. They were in the highest seats, so they could only be the last to depart.

“Isn’t there still Brother Wei?” Feng Ze suddenly spoke up, then slapped his thigh. “Ah, my apologies. I forgot. Brother Wei is already a Tier Five Professional.”

“What a shame. Otherwise, with Brother Wei’s strength, he could definitely get on that stage, defeat Hongxuan, and bring honor to our Judicial Court.”

There was, more or less, some friction between them. Wei Yufan had been a Core Seed the longest, and the conflicts with him were the most numerous.

Of course, some of the scorn was also because Wei Yufan had forced his promotion to Tier Five just to avoid losing to Su Chen.

To be fair, it really was a good method.

The problem was, after defeating Zhu Xuan, Su Chen never challenged anyone else. He just spent all day in his room developing his profession’s progress.

And so Wei Yufan, who had been wrestling with his own demons, became a laughingstock.

“Brother Wei also said before that the Yuan Capital People don’t bother fighting those of the same tier,” Zhong Ming said blandly.

Wei Yufan’s face was dark. As he looked at Hongxuan on the stage, he couldn’t help but feel a flicker of anger.

’What the hell is wrong with these people from Yuan Capital, actually getting on this challenge stage?’

’So what if you can prove you’re the strongest at your tier?’

’I’m a tier higher. If I get the chance, I can still kill you.’

He didn’t retort. The root cause of this mockery and ridicule was that his own foundation had long been shaken.

Seeing him stay silent, the others didn’t press him. A starved camel is still bigger than a horse, and if this guy suddenly decided to lash out, none of them could handle it.

Before long, however, the Judges who had been trickling out suddenly returned. A clamor followed them as more and more Judges squeezed back inside.

“Why are they coming back?” Feng Ze looked at the entrances, surprised.

Zhong Ming observed them more closely and noticed something was off. “They seem… excited?”

When they left, they looked as if they were attending a funeral.

“Su Chen,” Liang Jingcheng said suddenly. He had read the name from the lips of several people below.

“Su Chen’s here? He’s going to fight? Today?” Feng Ze fired off a series of questions, his eyes fixed on the entrance.

Sure enough, the Judges at the entrance had already parted to form a path. Walking in slowly was none other than Su Chen.

“It really is him,” Zhong Ming said, his tone hard to read. “He stays in his quarters all day and never shows his face, but his reputation is truly immense.”

Feng Ze’s eyes darted around, and he said with a hint of mockery, “Brother Wei, do you think Su Chen can win?”

Wei Yufan shot him a blank look. The coldness in his eyes startled Feng Ze, who turned his head away unnaturally.

’Just any random nobody dares to provoke me now.’

“You all haven’t left yet?” Ming Lin squeezed up from the side, plopped himself down, and said with great anticipation, “Perfect. Let’s watch the show together.”

“You went to get him?” Zhong Ming asked in surprise. “He actually agreed to come out?”

Su Chen was famous throughout the Judicial Court for being a recluse. Unless the Chief Judge specifically summoned him, he was almost never seen in any public place.
