My Professions Have Too Much Personality - Chapter 338 - 202: Birth

Lin Yue’s eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment. “Could that be…”

“The chosen one has been born. Your screening is naturally meaningless now,” Red Sun said slowly. He was only a Spirit Fragment, capable of limited independent thought.

But even so, he couldn’t help the surge of emotion. ’To think that Su Chen would be chosen the moment he was sent up here.’

The Spirituality was so impatient. Even his original self had never experienced such a thing.

“How is that possible!” Ni Bin clearly couldn’t accept it. He didn’t even bother to wonder how Su Chen had mysteriously appeared on the cauldron, simply snarling, “He only has an Ink Jade Talent!”

’The compatibility is too perfect,’ Red Sun had an explanation in his Heart, but he couldn’t help but feel a sense of amazement. ’So perfect that the Spirituality is willing to ignore his Talent.’ He had never even heard of such a situation.

“High compatibility?” Ni Bin still couldn’t accept it, his expression grim. “Before, with only half the Spirituality left, wasn’t his recognition only at the level of Two Dragon Shadows Appear?”

“Two Dragon Shadows Appear?”

Hearing this, a trace of confusion appeared in Red Sun’s eyes. He turned and asked, “Did you see it with your own eyes?”

Ni Bin froze. Of course, he hadn’t seen it himself. He had only heard it from his father, who was relaying what Lan Chen had said, and Lan Chen, in turn, had heard it from one of Ying Feng’s people.

At this thought, his brow twitched, and his face became as dark as water. ’I’ve been played.’

Judging by the current situation, there was no way the man had only achieved Two Dragon Shadows Appear. It was his Ink Jade Talent that had caused everyone to overlook him.

In the end, he had stolen this opportunity.

“Truly… inconceivable,” Wan Chen murmured. He realized that from the moment they arrived at Ying Feng’s location, that group of people had been covering this up.

They hadn’t exposed it from beginning to end. It was only now, with the Bronze Ancient King as a witness and the inheritance of Venerable Red Sun on the line, that Su Chen could act without restraint.

Staring at that figure, his emotions were complicated.

…

“It really is that Su Chen!”

Ni Bin, transformed into a Black Gold Fierce Ape, shot forward like a cannonball, tearing through the sky. The surface of his bulging muscles was coated in a flowing, metallic sheen.

A violent, black-and-red aura swirled around his body, forming a circular domain. He had intended to charge in and kill, but the cold gaze of the Bronze Ancient King forced him to stop.

“All that effort, only to let this person steal the prize.” The grotesque face of Ni Bin, a distorted fusion of simian features and a human visage, looked terrifying.

“It’s actually Su Chen…” Qing Cang followed close behind. He looked at Su Chen in the center of the area, his shock, confusion, and doubt all melting into joy.

Regardless, the chosen one wasn’t Ni Bin, and moreover, it was the disciple he had selected. By all accounts, this was good news.

But then, a bad premonition suddenly surfaced in his mind.

’Martial Uncle Red Sun just said he was going to pick a successor. Will this disciple, who hasn’t even been formally inducted, still be mine?’

The Bronze Ancient King withdrew his gaze from Ni Bin and looked at Su Chen, also astonished. “His compatibility with this profession has actually reached such a level.”

It wasn’t that there hadn’t been people compatible with Morning Star Tier professions before, but one with this degree of compatibility was unheard of. It had actually made the Spirituality feel an impatient urge to acknowledge him.

One must understand that a Spirituality’s pride was rarely seen in the world. The proudest Spirituality he had ever seen had made more than a dozen outstanding candidates, all of whom had achieved Three Dragon Shadows, fight amongst themselves for several years.

In the end, with some dead and others wounded, only one remained. Only after paying a great price was that person reluctantly acknowledged.

The Spirituality of the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator wasn’t considered overly difficult, yet his junior brother, Red Sun, had also endured many hardships back then before becoming the chosen one.

A scene like this was truly rare.

The Ancient King mused, ’His Talent is a bit lacking, but that’s not an unsolvable problem. It will just take longer to advance, and he’ll likely have to endure more trials.’

’But in the end, this is a fortunate event.’

Although the chosen one was not yet a member of the Sect, he was inclined toward it. Moreover, he was born on his junior brother’s home planet. Everything had fallen into place perfectly.

At this moment, Su Chen couldn’t perceive the outside world. Vague information swirled in his mind—

[Discovered Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator profession requirement three: Raise at least five Forbidden Scripture-level Meditation and Body Refining Techniques to Master Level.]

[Discovered Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator profession requirement four: Complete the Red Flame Melting Heart and Thunder Punishment Body Refining Trial.]

[Discovered Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator profession requirement five: Personally rescue a fallen Life Star from the hands of a Deceitful God.]

The remaining requirements to assume the Great Venerable’s profession were now complete.

’There are still three more? That makes five in total.’ Su Chen was secretly speechless. He scanned the list. Besides the first requirement regarding Talent, which he could understand, the remaining ones were all extremely difficult.

’I’ll take it one step at a time. It’s still early, anyway…’ Su Chen wasn’t too worried.

[Became the chosen one of the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator’s worldly Spirituality. Acquired Seed of Morning Fire: Can be used to ignite the Morning Star Fire.]

[Received the Spirituality’s Favor: Development efficiency for Fire Element and Thunder Element-related professions increased by 100%.]

’There are extra benefits to being the chosen one?’

Su Chen’s brows twitched. The first benefit allowed him to advance to the Morning Star Tier, but that was still too far away.

The second one, however, was useful immediately. The development efficiency for related professions was nearly doubled, but he would have to specifically pick suitable ones.

Still, that wasn’t a problem.

The surrounding Crimson Fire Frenzy Thunder gradually faded. The Spiritual Dragon circled him once, then rubbed its enormous head against him, exuding a strong sense of intimacy.

Su Chen couldn’t help but reach out to touch it. ’Hmm, no sensation at all. It’s just a body of Energy…’

’What kind of misunderstanding does this thing have?’ Su Chen couldn’t help but wonder. The affection it was radiating was just too obvious.

’Is the effect of the Great Venerable on my panel really this good? Or perhaps…’

He had a theory. This Professional Spirituality of the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator was actually just a representative, used to select people who could take on the profession.

But the profession recorded on his panel was, in a sense, the profession itself—even if it was just a mimicry.

’Last time, that half-strand of Spirituality was intimidated by the Great Venerable on my panel. Did it mistake me for the Great Venerable himself? Is that why it has such a strong affinity for me?’

Just as he was thinking, the Spiritual Dragon let out a loud cry, then vigorously transformed back into a Stone Slab, disappearing into the red mist and returning to silence.

His surroundings cleared, and only then did Su Chen realize he was surrounded by people.

In the distance was Qing Cang. And… ’Where did that black ape come from?’ He was startled, but upon a closer look, he could vaguely make out the features of Ni Bin, who was staring at him coldly.

Not far behind them were Wan Chen and his two companions, their expressions varied. Ni Bin’s gaze was the most frigid of all.

’It’s not over yet…’ Su Chen understood. He first looked toward the Bronze Ancient King not far away.

Red Sun had already appeared at the Ancient King’s side, his gaze fixed directly on him.

“His name is Su Chen?” he asked, not yet knowing the name of the chosen one.

“Mm,” the Ancient King nodded slightly.

Red Sun pondered for a moment, then asked, “He is a life form native to my Red Thunder Star. His Talent is a bit lacking, but his Heart is astonishing. As for other aspects, senior brother, do you know anything else about him?”

Their conversation was not hidden from anyone.

Not far away, Qing Cang’s eyelids twitched frantically. He could clearly feel his revered Master glance at him, a faint hint of apology in his eyes.

Then he heard his Master say, “His Heart is firm, steady, and exceptionally sharp. He also hasn’t forgotten the nurturing of his homeland and knows to repay kindness.”

’Those are my words…’ Qing Cang sighed wistfully in his heart. ’I had a feeling this would happen.’

His Master had already apologized to him with that look. Who could he blame?

He could only blame himself for overthinking it, for waiting for the perfect moment. He’d let a sure thing slip through his fingers. His disciple was about to become his junior brother.

“In that case…” Red Sun nodded, drifted in front of Su Chen, and asked in a solemn voice, “Are you willing to be my successor?”

’Success!’

A glint shone in Su Chen’s eyes. He let out a long breath, stood up straight, and addressed him, “Teacher.”

It was how he was used to addressing his mentors.

Red Sun didn’t mind the slight difference in address. He nodded, his emotions not fluctuating much, and simply said, “Unfortunately, there is little I can do to help you.”

He turned to the Bronze Ancient King, who understood. The Ancient King’s voice rang out, “My junior brother’s legacy disciple is my disciple.”
