My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 170

“Interesting…”

Su Chen hadn’t expected such a change to occur. Could the great venerable recorded by the panel actually interfere with reality in a subtle way?

Or was it because it was precisely the spiritual essence of the Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable that allowed for such a reaction?

After all, the towering figure outlined behind him was, in essence, drawing upon the spiritual power belonging to this place.

Su Chen guessed it was the latter. He had never seen the panel react when he encountered danger before.

“Perhaps it’s also because another requirement has been added, making the Great Venerable more active, while spiritual essence is merely spiritual essence, and what the panel captures has some characteristic of a true professional.”

There might be more than one factor contributing to the change. Su Chen pondered for a while, then dismissed his doubts, merely sighing with emotion:

“The situation is even better than I expected.”

Before he made his move, he had already made up his mind, firmly believing in the panel’s power. As long as he recorded it and he could fulfill the requirements, he would definitely be able to become a professional, regardless of concepts like recognition, selection, or the uniqueness of a profession.

At the same time, he also knew that the power of this incomplete stone slab was limited. He had heard Ming Lin mention before that the Tier 4 professionals brought by Chong Jingtian a while ago were all seriously injured.

However, Wei Yu Fan had just stumbled out, and the power against a Tier 5 professional had greatly diminished. As long as the defense was strong enough, it could withstand its lethality.

Then, Su Chen looked at the newly recorded professional requirements, his brows furrowing slightly. “End Thunder Mark, Red Fire Seed, 두 things I’ve never heard of. Annihilation? It seems it really means to kill oneself, not just a serious injury on the verge of death.”

“If I can’t achieve nirvana, then I’ll just die.”

He couldn’t help but feel speechless, only to say that it truly lived up to its name as a Morning Star Tier. This was only the second recruitment requirement, and it already reached the point of needing to kill oneself.

However, preparing for these requirements was still a long way off for him.

When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a way. Su Chen composed himself.

“Initial fire rekindled… this is spiritual favor, returning to peak physical condition at any time, a good life-saving measure…”

The large dragon circling his body dissipated, reforming into a red mist that enveloped the space. Su Chen looked at the stone slab, which had returned to peace, sensing a faint reverence emanating from it.

He then thought, “However… since the spiritual essence is complete, it can reveal the professional requirements. That Hong Xuan probably knows nothing, which is good news.”

…

Outside the mist, after Su Chen stepped into it, everyone’s expressions varied.

Even though Wu Chenpei and Hong Xuan believed it unlikely that Su Chen would receive recognition, they still couldn’t help but pay some attention. After all, having defeated Hong Xuan, he was worth a bit of suspicion.

Chong Jingtian and others, however, felt a sense of trepidation. Theory was theory, but if Su Chen couldn’t even manifest a single dragon shadow, then Yuandu would be supreme from now on, and that couldn’t be simply summarized as “submission.”

“Time’s up.” Wu Chenpei shook his head, a hint of self-mockery in his eyes. He had indeed thought too much; there was only one Hong Xuan.

Chong Jingtian and the others’ faces were tense. This time referred to the duration from when Hong Xuan stepped in until the mist changed, which was only a few minutes before.

Su Chen had already exceeded that time.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the mist began to change.

Chong Jingtian and the others squinted, their eyes revealing a joyous glint. A lifelike small dragon emerged from the red mist, swirling with mist.

“A single dragon apparition! He succeeded!”

Chong Jingtian’s hands, which had been clenched white behind his back, relaxed.

Jiang Shumo and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was only a single dragon, it was considered a successful recognition, and their efforts were not in vain.

Pu Zhenghong looked amazed. Could it be that he had thought wrong, and Xia Hanshi hadn’t rushed things, allowing Su Chen to take up a lower-tier profession?

“He was actually recognized?” Wu Chenpei’s heart jolted. “Could it be that this kid wasn’t promoted to a Tier 4 low-level profession, but a high-level one?”

“How could it be so fast if it’s high-level?”

Hong Xuan’s brows were tightly furrowed. This scene greatly exceeded his expectations, but then he couldn’t help but think:

“This person truly has a secret. After leaving the Red Lightning Star, I can take him under my wing. In the future, he will surely be a great asset.”

To be recognized by the Morning Star Tier, even if it was just a single dragon apparition, was quite impressive.

As for whether he could pose a threat to him becoming the chosen one, the thought didn’t even cross Hong Xuan’s mind.

A single dragon apparition!

Ming Lin silently clenched his fists. Good, good, Su Chen barely met the immeasurable standard.

Seeing the relieved expressions of Chong Jingtian and the others, Wu Chenpei’s expression softened slightly before he spoke in a seemingly enlightened manner,

“Oh, I forgot to tell you something. To become a chosen one, you must achieve at least a two-dragon apparition when recognized by the spiritual essence.”

“As for a single dragon apparition, it’s merely barely acceptable, a pity from the spiritual essence, with no possibility of becoming a chosen one.”

He spoke unhurriedly, but Chong Jingtian’s relaxed expression stiffened. Jiang Shumo’s face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “You say it’s not, then it’s not?”

Wu Chenpei gently shook his head, calmly saying, “I’m just informing you all in advance, not intending to obstruct. In any case, Su Chen will eventually go to that ruin with Hong Xuan. When the spiritual essences merge, you will naturally know.”

He was merely surprised by Su Chen’s recognition, which broke his judgment concerning his professional advancement. As for a single dragon apparition, he hadn’t really taken it to heart.

Hearing him say that, Chong Jingtian and the others’ expressions became even uglier. Wu Chenpei’s fearless demeanor made them think otherwise.

Could it be that a single dragon apparition was really just barely enough, and one couldn’t become the chosen one?

If so, what was the point?

Ming Lin listened in a daze, what recognition, what selection. It seemed this was just the initial screening, and Su Chen’s single dragon apparition didn’t seem qualified to participate in the subsequent screenings.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy.

But right then, Ming Lin suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, “Look!”

Everyone, who had been deep in their own thoughts, subconsciously looked at the crimson mist, all revealing astonished expressions, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

Only to see, the crimson cloud that originally only had one small dragon circling it, suddenly began to fluctuate violently, with several dazzling crimson light cracks appearing on its surface.

Suddenly, a second crimson small dragon emerged.

Not only that, but then came the third!

“Three dragons appearing!” Jiang Shumo exclaimed in shock, and Xia Hanshi’s old face broke into an ugly smile.

This… Wu Chenpei was unbelievable, and Hong Xuan’s cheeks twitched

.

However, the change was not over yet!

Under everyone’s stunned gaze, the three crimson dragons seemed to devour the surrounding crimson mist, growing thicker and clearer.

The surrounding crimson mist became thinner and thinner, and Su Chen’s back could even be vaguely seen.

At a certain moment, the three small dragons suddenly hovered in the air, and their dragon bodies simultaneously erupted with dazzling crimson-gold flames. They suddenly turned around and crashed into the surging sea of mist.

At the moment of contact with the mist, their bodies peeled off inch by inch into flowing molten gold light streams, wildly intertwining in the mist, and then merged into an even thicker crimson dragon.

And Su Chen, at this moment, was standing in front of that blurred stone slab.

That lifelike crimson great dragon was coiling around his body, and everyone could even faintly sense the reverence emanating from it.

Pu Zhenghong’s expression was in a trance. What…what was this? Chong Jingtian’s heart fluttered. He didn’t know what the scene before him represented, and it was also somewhat different from what Wu Chenpei had described about one dragon and two dragons.

But such a big commotion was clearly out of the ordinary.

He suddenly looked at Wu Chenpei, wanting to discern something from the cunning old fox’s face.

But he found that he was already wide-eyed. This… what kind of scene was this? Why hadn’t he heard the person from the royal court mention it?

But anyone could tell that this was definitely not merely a recognition.

Even… even, it might have surpassed the three-dragon apparition.

In his heart, he even had a thought that made him tremble. If the spiritual essence on this stone slab was complete, Su Chen might immediately become the chosen one of the Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable!

“Three dragons combine, the spiritual dragon cauldron appears!”

Hong Xuan was horrified, exclaiming inwardly, “How is this possible!”

This was clearly a precursor to becoming the chosen one, a spiritual dragon cauldron appearing, but this was only incomplete spiritual essence; such a scene shouldn’t appear.

He couldn’t comprehend it. All sorts of emotions surged in his mind, but then a chilling killing intent emanated from him.

“If Su Chen is here, it’s impossible for me to become the chosen one of the Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable again.”

This was an absolutely irreconcilable contradiction!

And in the arena, there were many whose professional ranks were higher than his. Sensing the killing intent emanating from Hong Xuan at this moment, their gazes couldn’t help but turn cold.

Xia Hanshi stood behind Jiang Chumo and the others, slowly withdrawing his gaze from Su Chen’s back in the crimson mist.

On his iron-cold face, a faint flush appeared.

Then, a pair of ghost-fire-like eyes immediately fixed on Hong Xuan.

“Hong Xuan!”

Wu Chenpei, barely recovering, immediately barked in a stern voice.

Hong Xuan was startled, quickly reining in his killing intent, and lowered his head.

Chong Jingtian, seeing their unrestrained expressions, already understood.

“Holy Envoy, the scene before us seems to have surpassed the three-dragon apparition. I wonder what it signifies?” Chong Jingtian asked, seemingly genuinely curious.

Wu Chenpei’s cheeks twitched uncontrollably. After a moment, he said faintly, “I don’t know anything more.”

At this moment, the great dragon encircling Su Chen suddenly dispersed, and the thin mist became dense again, obscuring everything from view.

“Su Chen…” Ming Lin stood at the back, watching Wu Chenpei and the others’ agitated expressions, his chest pounding, blood rushing, yet he also felt a sense of loss.

He couldn’t help but wonder why Su Chen, with the same Emerald talent, was so powerful.

Wei Yu Fan’s face was grim as he looked at Hong Xuan, inwardly cursing him for being useless.

Soon, Su Chen emerged from the mist, and pairs of eyes converged on him, some astonished, pleased, excited, or… malevolent?

Hmm? Su Chen vaguely sensed something was amiss. He looked at Hong Xuan, but the other only had his head lowered, so his expression was看不見.

As for the Holy Envoy, he was expressionless, completely devoid of his previous excitement.

“Good, good!” Chong Jingtian laughed loudly, stepping forward and repeatedly patting his back.

Jiang Shumo and the others also looked at him with a tenderness he had never seen before.

Seeing this attitude, Su Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief. It seemed the external effect was even better than he had imagined.

Su Chen didn’t try to hide this time, instead fearing some misunderstanding that would prevent him from accessing the other stone slab later.

Professional advancement was too fast to explain.

But in this kind of scenario, it depended on the degree of spiritual recognition, so the more powerful the performance, the better, with no hidden dangers.

“I wonder what the scene looked like from the outside just now?” Although curious, he couldn’t ask directly, so he simply said, “I have fulfilled my mission.”

“More than that, more than that…” Chong Jingtian repeatedly said, his inner frustration swept away. Although he didn’t know why Su Chen, whose talent was clearly inferior to Hong Xuan’s, caused such a commotion.

Perhaps it could only be said that the spiritual perspective might be different from theirs.

“Everyone, this matter is concluded. Let’s go.” Chong Jingtian waved his hand, and the heavy metal gate closed again.

Although everyone’s moods were different, they left as they had come, with their senses sealed.

…

Meanwhile, at the very moment Hong Xuan received recognition.

Outside the Red Lightning Star, a boundless expanse of grey-white mist stretched.

In the vast unknown, a majestic metal palace stood in the void. Its base was made of interlocking gears, flowing with dark golden energy patterns.

The palace body was covered with exotic materials fused from various metals, and twelve metal pillars supported the dome. Chains emanating a reddish glow hung from the base, with a dim star tied at their ends.

In the palace, a humanoid figure, cast in bronze, sat cross-legged. Its posture seemed to

fill the entire palace, yet also resembled an embryo curled within a mother’s womb.

Its surface flowed with the dull luster characteristic of bronze, and every muscle纹理 was inscribed with layers upon layers of intricate energy circuits.

At a certain moment, it suddenly opened its eyes, and within its pupils, countless mechanical structures could vaguely be seen. Its head twisted to look at the crimson statue on one side of the palace, which was currently trembling slightly.

“Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable? Someone actually gained recognition?”

Leveraging this anomaly, radiant light flashed in its eyes, reflecting a torrent of data. This data streamed into the crimson statue, and with the subtly re-activated spiritual perception, it swiftly pinpointed the location.

“Judging by the coordinates, it seems to be one of my junior brother’s home planets. We sent people to explore it back then, but apparently, nothing was discovered.”

Immediately, a ripple of mental energy emanated from it. “Qing Cang!”

Soon, a streaking light from beyond the heavens arrived, its body a pale green, with a rhomboid scale on its brow. It knelt on the ground, respectfully calling out,

“Master.”

“My junior brother’s former profession, the Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable, has now been recognized by someone else. Go there.” The bronze giant said calmly, “Retrieve the professional spiritual essence and bring the recognized person back.”

“Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable?” Qing Cang looked up in astonishment, unable to help but ask, “Master, where is it?”

“His home planet, Red Lightning.”

Hearing this, Qing Cang was even more surprised, wondering, “There? Didn’t we send people to investigate it back then?”

“That is already the edge of the Dust Star Sea, shrouded in the Nether Mist year-round; there might have been omissions.”

“Understood.” Qing Cang nodded. After a moment of hesitation, he cautiously asked, “May I, your disciple, bring a few people along?”

“You also seek the position of the Red Flame Thunder Great Venerable,” the bronze giant stated directly.
