My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 301 - 184: Holy Profession? Face-Changing Skill

’I can only extract one portion of Dark Plague Essence right now,’ Su Chen mused. ’But given the difficulty, even if I use it to replace a requirement, the new one probably won’t be easy to complete either.’

’Or I could just gamble on the Faceless Ghost Essence.’

Both options were random, so the order didn’t matter. The outcome was beyond his control anyway.

’I’ll use the Faceless Ghost Essence first.’ Su Chen didn’t hesitate for long. The only reason he hadn’t used it before was that he was unsure about the All Things Professional Fusion requirements.

But now, Professional Fusion probably wasn’t a major issue, so he decided to take a chance on the Life Burner profession.

’A one-in-three chance isn’t that low.’ Su Chen summoned the Faceless Ghost Essence, applied it to the Life Burner profession, and silently prayed for the Great Venerable’s favor.

[The Life Burner has been influenced by the Faceless Ghost Essence. Driven to the brink of madness, its third advancement requirement has been erased.]

“Yes!” A grin spread across Su Chen’s face. “As expected of the Great Venerable!”

’This takes care of burning my lifespan, the trickiest problem. All that’s left is to touch my Life Fire.’

Touching the Life Fire wasn’t exactly hard, but it wasn’t simple either.

Su Chen had looked up information on it last night. The best method, naturally, was to be on the verge of death, at which point there was a chance to touch the nearly extinguished Life Fire with one’s Spiritual Power.

But there were shortcuts. After all, quite a few people were concerned about their own lifespans.

’A Tier Six Mental Professional can take the lead and use a Talisman Array to reveal one’s Life Fire.’

The only Tier Six Mental Professional in Yingfeng City he was familiar with was Chief Judge You Shan. Once she returned, asking for her help wouldn’t be a big problem.

’The Life Fire isn’t an issue. The only question is which requirement to use this Sly Fox Essence on…’ Su Chen couldn’t help but glance at the two remaining requirements.

He valued this reward quite a bit. A Life Burner exchanged their lifespan for immense power, which was certainly useful in a life-or-death battle.

But Su Chen was greedy. It would be even better if the reward could erase the drawback of burning his lifespan. Given his experience with the Soldier Nurturer profession, it wasn’t impossible.

’Even if the power I gain from it is a bit weaker as a result, I can accept that.’

However, the Sly Fox Essence extracted from the Divine Statue had already been used. The one being forged with Divine Power would take another half a month, so there was no rush.

After finishing his operations, Su Chen glanced at his inventory again.

He only had one or two portions of each Low-tier Divine Power left, which was hardly worth mentioning. As for Middle-tier Divine Power, after accounting for what was being used for Melting Essence, he had two portions each of Black Tuo, Sly Fox, and Crimson, three portions of Faceless Ghost, and only one of Dark Plague.

Five Essences were currently being melted. He still had one unused Black Tuo Essence on hand.

His gaze shifted to it, and Su Chen fell into deep thought. He was quite curious what effect the Black Tuo Essence would have on a special profession.

’Based on my experience with Divine Power, the influence on a profession won’t affect its advancement or its requirements.’

He pondered for a moment and decided to use it on the Life Burner profession, which had a higher potential.

[The Life Burner has been influenced by the Black Tuo Essence. It has suddenly developed an unprecedented desire and is attempting to evolve into a Holy Profession. However, the Essence’s power is insufficient. The Life Burner craves more Black Tuo Essence. Please provide two more portions of Black Tuo Essence to assist the Life Burner.]

What the hell? A Holy Profession?

Su Chen froze. Staring at the panel that had popped up, he couldn’t help but sit up straight. A Holy Profession… This was the first time he’d ever heard of such a concept.

’This doesn’t seem like an Upper-tier Profession for the Life Burner, but something even higher than a special profession.’

Su Chen did his best to analyze the limited text for more information.

’It needs three portions of Black Tuo Essence just to start the evolution, and even then, it only reveals the upgrade requirements. The difficulty is off the charts…’

But that also hinted at how powerful a Holy Profession must be.

“A Holy Profession… a Holy Profession…” Su Chen murmured to himself. The sudden appearance of this concept had undoubtedly piqued his curiosity.

But he estimated that no one on Red Thunder Star knew what it was.

’Is my Purifier profession also a Holy Profession?’

Su Chen suddenly thought of his still-incomplete path for the Purifier. Fusing five special professions into one would most likely result in a Holy Profession as well.

’A Holy Profession… maybe it’s not just about having stronger abilities, but a profession necessary to fulfill some kind of requirement. Is it for the Morning Star Tier?’ Su Chen’s mind raced with possibilities.

There was too little information, so he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

’But I only have two portions of Black Tuo Essence in total, and I’ve already fleeced Ying Feng dry. Unless…’ Su Chen’s eyes narrowed. ’Yuan Capital, Lieyang, Celestial Joy…’

Ying Feng wasn’t the only city on Red Thunder Star; there were three others. Yuan Capital in particular had probably accumulated an amount of Deceitful God’s Power not much less than Ying Feng’s.

’First, I need to find a way to deal with Yuan Capital. Then, with the combined power of Yuan Capital and Ying Feng, I can order the other two cities to send over all their accumulated Deceitful God’s Power. But that’s a lot of people to fool.’

’It all depends on how Yuan Capital reacts next. With Hongxuan dead, they shouldn’t have a choice. It probably won’t be a problem.’

Su Chen couldn’t help but hesitate. If he wanted to obtain more Deceitful God’s Power, the reactions of Wu Chenpei and Yuan Capital were crucial.

But these matters were being handled by Chong Jingtian and the others. His own strength was still insufficient, making it difficult for him to interfere.

As he weighed his options, Su Chen gradually became immersed in developing his professions.

…

“Ying Feng…” Outside Yingfeng City, Wu Chenpei looked up at the magnificent megalopolis, his expression flickering.

Chong Jingtian was by his side. The two of them had broken off from the main group and traveled nonstop in a state-of-the-art Flying Device, returning to Ying Feng in just over ten days.

The small Flying Device they were in stopped for an inspection to confirm they weren’t impostors.

During the process, Wu Chenpei said, “The people from Yuan Capital, Celestial Joy, and Lieyang are already on their way to the ruins. We’ve already fallen behind, so let’s not waste any more time. We should head there as soon as possible.”
