Chapter 73 Tier 2 Top-tier – psionist!

    “Because all three of us were avoiding having your psychic talent known to him.” Gu Bing did not hide it either.

    Su Chen looked puzzled.

    “Old Xia is the Sixth Judge of the Tribunal,” Gu Bing explained to him.

    Su Chen instantly realized that he was a judge, no wonder Zhang Hongbo was so afraid.

    “But his way of doing things…” Gu Bing hesitated for a moment, then said tactfully, “He is disliked by many, and although he yearns for highly talented individuals, it is for a goal that is almost impossible to achieve.”

    “I heard that three promising talents with Crimson Gold level aptitude have been lost in his hands, so don’t think that being favored by him is a good thing.”

    “That’s…” Su Chen felt a bit strange after hearing that. This Judge was different from what he had imagined.

    But he could also infer other information from it, for example… being so disliked, yet still able to firmly hold this position, he must have extraordinary capabilities in other aspects.

    “I understand, thank you all,” Su Chen nodded.

    “You don’t need to thank us,” Gu Bing said self-deprecatingly, “Another reason is the Third Judge. We don’t want to be caught in the middle, and Old Xia didn’t ask further. If he did, we would naturally tell him.”

    “As for Zhang Hongbo, he probably fears that if Judge Xia knows about your talent and that he suppressed you, he will be angry with him.”

    “Uh…” Su Chen was speechless. Everyone had their own calculations, no wonder the atmosphere was so strange.

    Seeing Su Chen’s dazed and somewhat adorable look, Gu Bing added a few more words, “Zhang Hongbo originally thought you would compete with his son for the next City Lord of Nanfeng, which is why he wanted to suppress you.”

    “But since you have Crimson Gold talent, it’s practically impossible for you to return to Nanfeng City for a position, so there’s no direct conflict anymore, which is why he thought of easing the tension.”

    So that was the reason, Su Chen finally understood.

    He had vaguely suspected that Zhang Hongbo had some connection with Heituo, but it didn’t feel quite right.

    If the City Lords were all from the Heretic God Cult, then Heituo could do whatever he wanted.

    But he didn’t know why he was targeting him. Although this information was not a secret, it was an internal rule of the Tribunal, so he naturally couldn’t know it.

    “He is from under the Second Judge,” Gu Bing added at the end.

    “Thank you for informing me,” Su Chen said sincerely.

    Fatty Sun had already received the message and came downstairs, waiting not far away, and Gu Bing bade farewell.

    Sun Tai started the hovercar and asked, “This woman is not a simple character, is she? Why haven’t I seen her in the Supervision Department?”

    “An envoy from Ying Feng,” Su Chen replied casually, sitting in the back seat this time and staring at the panel.

    “Ying Feng, envoy?” Fatty Sun’s throat rolled. He didn’t know what he thought of, and he sincerely said, “Brother, you’re really amazing.”

    ……

    “You two did well both times.”

    On the top floor, Xia Hanshi stood with his hands behind his back in front of the porthole, looking down.

    “It’s what we should do.” Zhang Hongbo’s tense expression relaxed a bit. The praise from Old Xia was hard to come by, and he said excitedly, “This time we almost caught Zhou Xian. Perhaps soon, we will be able to uproot the Heituo Cultists.”

    Xia Hanshi sneered, “Uproot them? The roots of this Nanfeng City are deeper than I imagined.”

    “Your meaning?” Zhang Hongbo’s heart chilled. He was the biggest tree in Nanfeng. Could it involve him?

    “I have a guess, and I hope it’s not true, otherwise, it’s hard to say whether Nanfeng City will still exist.” Xia Hanshi’s words made both of them jump.

    Yang Yan forced a smile, “It can’t be, can it? Nanfeng isn’t special, and there’s nothing worth coveting. After a conventional invasion fails, Heituo usually chooses to withdraw rather than pay a higher price.”

    The Heretic God Cult has many branches, and each Heretic God has his own style of doing things. Heituo dislikes fighting and values the “return on investment.”

    Xia Hanshi said meaningfully, “So, Nanfeng… there are things we don’t know yet.”

    ……

    “Why did the City Lord summon you this time?”

    Fatty Sun drove him back, still curiously asking on the way. There was no response from the back, so Fatty Sun looked in the rearview mirror and saw Su Chen leaning back in his seat, his brows furrowed, and his body trembling slightly.

    “Are… are you alright?” Fatty Sun was startled and hastily asked.

    Still no response, he was about to turn around and head to the Emergency Department when Su Chen slowly opened his mouth, rubbing his temples, “I’m fine, I’ve been training a bit too hard these past two days.”

    “I told you not to be so tight…” Fatty Sun couldn’t help but say a few words, “You need to relax.”

    Su Chen nodded, his eyes unfocused, staring at the panel. Not long after getting into the hovercar, the [Arcane Scholar] successfully devoured its target.

    [Arcane Scholar successfully devours the telekinetic manipulator, transforming into – Psionist!]

    [Mental Interference has been enhanced!]

    [Scarlet Lightning has been enhanced!]

    [Obtained Professional Ability–Telekinesis: Mental power can be converted into telekinetic force, directly affecting reality.]

    Su Chen was still adapting to the surging mental power in his brain. At the same level of development, it was about 30% higher than before.

    Unlike the last time when the Strongman transformed into a Riftwalker Warrior, this time it was gentler, after all, it was from advanced to top-tier.

    The professional abilities that originally belonged to his own system were all enhanced, as for [Secret Tool Control] and [Secret Tool Enhancement], there was no change.

    However, the new professional abilities also looked very good, enough to become a helper in battle.

    Moreover, he could clearly feel the storage space, whereabouts unknown, expanding rapidly.

    [The job requirement “Self as a Tier 2 Top-tier Psionist” has been met for the Space Hoarder, and storage space expansion is complete.]

    Su Chen carefully perceived and found that the boundary of the storage space had expanded tenfold, and its volume had expanded a thousandfold, now reaching a thousand cubic meters. The various雜物 that had previously occupied almost half of the space now only occupied a small corner, a veritable surge!

    At the same time, the black countdown after [The Wise] gradually disappeared, and the requirement to “obtain information on three top-tier professions” was also completed.

    Seeing his expression gradually relax, Sun Tai felt relieved.

    “Haha, I knew the City Lord calling you was definitely a good thing.” Fatty Sun and Su Chen had just walked through the gate of the branch office, checking the notification message on the virtual screen, and burst out laughing:

    “The allotted Mist Demon Potion has increased from three portions a week to five. He’s treating you specially!”

    “There are even five copies of Illusion Essence. Wow, I heard that even in the research department, this stuff has to be strictly proportioned.”

    “What, there’s also an E-grade meditation technique for me to pick up and send to you. Wow…” Sun Tai gasped, sizing up Su Chen suspiciously, “You and the City Lord, there’s no hidden relationship, is there?”

    The value of these resources in Nanfeng City is immeasurable.

    Su Chen smiled without speaking. Fatty Sun wanted to connect with Zhang Hengyu, but learned that he had gone back, which made him feel regretful.

    “Well, I’ll bring you the meditation technique and the Illusion Essence tomorrow,” Sun Tai said before getting into the car.

    Su Chen waved his hand, sending Sun Tai off, and returned to his room before truly adapting to the transformed mental power.

    Boom!

    He tried to activate his telekinetic power, and all the tables and chairs floated up. “Within a ten-meter range, the power won’t be diminished, but the further away, the more it will decay…”

    He estimated, and soon the entire room began to shake, and the lights flickered non-stop.

    “This ability…” Su Chen carefully perceived it and couldn’t help but grin, “It’s impressive.”

    The full output of telekinetic power was even stronger than Scarlet Lightning, because it could gather all mental power together and was more flexible.

    “Hmm… I can only say it’s stronger than the previous Scarlet Lightning. As for the enhanced version now, I’m not sure yet.”

    “With Zhang Hongbo, we’ve entered a period of peace, so there shouldn’t be any problems.” Su Chen stroked his chin. “I can focus on dealing with Zhou Xian and the Heretic God Cult.”

    With his current strength and equipment, even if Zhou Xian attacked, he might not be able to kill him.

    “It’s incomparable now,” Su Chen clenched his fist.
