My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Here Comes the Reckless Youth, Disrespecting the Great Venerable?

Returning to the Tribunal, it was already afternoon. Su Chen headed straight to the Profession Storage Office, preparing to retrieve a Tier 4 profession.

A few days ago, he had approached Chong Jingtian again about this matter, and the latter, without a word, granted him the opportunity to retrieve one.

Entering the hall, Su Chen skillfully stated his request and checked the profession requirements.

【Detected a Tier 4 Advanced Profession – Catastrophe Walker. You can advance after fulfilling the requirements.】

【Requirement 1 for advancement: Elevate three Body Forging Methods to Master level.】

【Requirement 2 for advancement: In a thunderstorm, envelop yourself in the thunder element and survive for three days.】

【Requirement 3 for advancement: Induce a catastrophic thunderstorm to strike an area inhabited by ten thousand people, causing a hundred casualties or damaging over 30% of the living area.】

Standing before the virtual screen, Su Chen rubbed his chin, his eyes unfocused. “The requirements are getting increasingly difficult.”

The standard three Body Forging Methods, and becoming a lightning rod to live in a thunderstorm for three days, are still manageable. But they still require inducing a catastrophe to attack others.

This was after the system had corrected it. According to the Tribunal’s records, Requirement 3 originally required no less than five hundred casualties and damage to over 50% of the area.

A Tier 3 practitioner simply couldn’t create such a large-scale catastrophic thunderstorm and would have to rely on nature or external help.

This requires resources, money, and status to be able to complete it as quickly as possible.

【The Catastrophe Walker, cold and emotionless, came to spread fear and despair, until he saw the Great Venerable. A hint of a smile appeared on his cold face, and he reined in his aura. Requirement 2 for advancement has been weakened, and the survival time is reduced to one day.】

The usual Great Venerable’s concession.

“However, even with the weakening, it’s not that critical anymore,” Su Chen murmured.

As tiers increased, these professions gradually shifted from being utterly prostrate to merely trembling with fear.

However, he still had Demonic God Power he hadn’t used, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He continued to check the next profession.

【Detected a Tier 4 Advanced Profession – Lawbringer. You can advance after fulfilling the requirements.】

【Requirement 1 for advancement: Elevate three Meditation Methods to Master level.】

【Requirement 2 for advancement: Persist in the Whispering Trial for six hours.】

【Requirement 3 for advancement: Command an organization with no less than a thousand people, establish and maintain strict laws that are resisted by the people for more than half a year without being broken.】

“Laws resisted by the people? Torturing myself, torturing them, and it requires a lot of time, energy, and resources to prepare.” Su Chen scanned it, frowning,

“Let’s see what will weaken itself. This last requirement is quite troublesome.”

He thought to himself, “The erasure of Faceless Ghost power is also a three-in-one choice, and it might not erase this one. I only have one share left, and now that Ying Feng has no believers, it will probably be very difficult to find more.”

“Should I gamble on the Lawbringer, or the Catastrophe Walker?”

He was undecided, but after a moment, there was no reaction from the panel.

“Hmm?” Su Chen was slightly startled. Normally, as soon as a profession was captured, the “Great Venerable” would immediately grant a concession, with almost no delay. He had become accustomed to it.

“Could it be?” His heart stirred slightly, and after another moment, text slowly appeared on the panel.

【The Lawbringer, stern-faced, as a defender of rules, is unsmiling and allows no violation of rules to occur.】

No concession. Su Chen was faintly excited, there was a reckless youth!

The first one that didn’t give way appeared, and he was curious to see what would happen.

【The Lawbringer stood ramrod straight. All the other professions looked on. They took a step aside. The Great Venerable lowered his gaze slightly, as if thunder rumbled. The Lawbringer stumbled to the ground, and all the advancement requirements were deemed complete.】

“Ha…” Su Chen couldn’t help but smile. Just give a little face, and the Great Venerable won’t argue with you. But you had to be stubborn, and as a result, you got electrocuted into a concussion.

“As expected of the Great Venerable, directly taking care of everything in one go.”

This way, there’s no need to worry about the Whispering Trial either. The last time he faced Black Tuluo, it left him with lingering fears.

And there’s no need to care about any strict laws; he’ll just take the profession directly.

Immediately, Su Chen activated the [Mid-tier Black Toa Power] to corrupt the profession.

【The Lawbringer, having lost his memory, was still desireless after being corrupted by the power of Black Tuluo.】

【The Lawbringer transformed into – Word Soul Lord】

“?” Su Chen was stunned, almost unable to contain his laughter. It actually transformed just like that. Amazing, truly amazing.

Su Chen sincerely hoped, “I hope there will be more such reckless youths in the future.”

【The Catastrophe Walker, still in shock, was tainted by the aura of Black Tuluo, and his destructive desires intensified. He needed to acquire the clear Eye of the Thunder God to suppress his desires.】

“Eye of the Thunder God, I wonder what that is.”

Su Chen was in a good mood and activated the [Mid-tier Faceless Ghost Demonic Power].

【The Catastrophe Walker was corroded by the Faceless Power, dazed, seemingly having forgotten who he was. Requirement 3 for the profession was removed.】

“Good luck, directly wiped out the most troublesome one,” Su Chen grinned, quite satisfied. “All this hard work, wasn’t it for this moment?”

After a series of his operations, as well as the panel’s “insignificant” assistance, the requirements for both professions have been reduced to a level where they can be easily accomplished.

“Only the requirement to be struck by lightning remains, and it only needs one day. I can do it in my spare time. This way, once I reach 100% development, I can advance directly.”

Being able to advance directly after reaching 100% development sounds ordinary, but it’s an unattainable dream for most professionals.

The job requirements are diverse and strange, rarely overlapping with development progress. In a sense, the training method requirement, which always occupies one slot, is already considered a reduction in difficulty.

However, other requirements are not so easily completed.

Most others usually need to be around 90% developed before they start preparing for job requirements, thus having to slow down their development progress.

As the rank increases, the preparation time varies, with half a year, a year, or two years being common.

For example, Ming Lin, Su Chen heard about him advancing to Tier 4 when he first entered the Tribunal, but he’s still at the same stage now.

There’s also Wei Yu Fan, who has been preparing for two or three years to advance to Tier 5 Top-tier, but still hasn’t met the requirements.

“What a pity, why can’t these Demonic God Power have an effect on special professions?” Su Chen was still a bit greedy, muttering to himself, “Or maybe I just haven’t found the right Demonic God.”

Mulling it over all the way, Su Chen returned to his residence and went straight into the Gravity Training Room, where he began to sweat it out.

The Tribunal and the Security Division jointly issued an announcement explaining the reason for the huge rift visible throughout Ying Feng a few days ago.

At the same time, it emphasized that the Demonic God Cultists in Ying Feng had been mostly cleared out, winning universal praise.

However, the Tribunal’s investigation into Wei Yinsuo’s death was still ongoing, but it was being conducted in secret, trying to prevent the news from spreading too widely, yet there had been no results.

Meanwhile, some well-informed individuals had already begun to act. The industries left behind by Wei Yinsuo were gradually being eroded. Without their biggest backer, the Wei family could only cut their losses to survive.

Even though Chong Jingtian had secretly intervened, he couldn’t stop the Wei family from actively selling off their assets at a low price, which caused many people to sigh emotionally.

…

Towards the end of February, in the Gravity Training Room, Su Chen let out a long breath. The faint chanting in his ears disappeared, and his mental power became purer.

【Profound Ice Pure Soul Meditation Technique has been elevated to Master level, gaining the ability – Ice Soul: Slightly increases mental tenacity.】

He glanced at the panel——

【Azure Thunder Master: 57%】

【Arcane Hand: 65%】

【D-grade Thunder Armor Body Forging Method——Proficient: 70%】

The [Azure Thunder Master] had reached 50% some time ago, and its awakened ability merged with [Azure Thunder Divine Walk] to create an ability called [Thunder Travel], which allows the body to temporarily elementalize. This is a common ability for Tier 3 elemental professions.

It was like what Zhou Xian did at that time, but the intensity was much higher, causing his speed to once again soar.

If strengthened by the [Holy Hand], in terms of explosive speed alone, a Tier 5 professional like Senior Brother Teng, who is not skilled in speed, might not be able to catch up to him.

Summoning the new Meditation Method, Su Chen looked down at it. Its name was —— [Return to the Ruins Meditation Method].

“This is probably the last D-grade meditation method.”

Although the [Word Soul Lord] no longer had any requirements, the meditation method could still enhance his foundation, so Su Chen did not give up on learning new meditation methods.

Su Chen couldn’t help but wonder why the Body Forging Methods were not classified by tier, but by letter grade.

He asked Teng Liang some time ago and found out that Body Forging Methods only went up to A-grade. Even Tier 7 professionals like Chong Jingtian still used A-grade Body Forging Methods.

“A-grade basically corresponds to Tier 6. After Tier 6, they can only use low-grade Body Forging Methods, which must be incredibly inefficient.”

Su Chen was surprised when he got this answer. He was quite worried at first, but then he thought that he was only Tier 3, and he would cross that bridge when he came to it. Thinking about it now was too early.

After getting started with the meditation method, Su Chen didn’t continue training. He checked the time, tidied up slightly, and left. He took a hovercar straight to the outside of the Tribunal.

The destination was a tall building, with many hovercars parked downstairs, displaying the badges of various agencies and departments like the Tribunal, the Translation Department, and the Security Division.

“Lord Su Chen…” Someone greeted him. Su Chen had never seen him before, but he still smiled and nodded.

Many people greeted him along the way, and he responded to each one.

“Su Chen…” someone called out, the voice sounding familiar. Turning back, it was indeed Cheng Lang.

“Deputy Director Cheng…” Su Chen also greeted him, and under the guidance of a staff member in a black suit, they ascended the elevator.

“This news still couldn’t be kept under wraps,” Cheng Lang sighed. “Chief Justice Wei Yinsuo, just died.”

“Have they found out what happened?” he asked.

Their relationship seemed to have become much closer, thanks to Su Chen revealing the news of Wei Yinsuo’s death to Cheng Lang a few days later.

The investment paid off, and Cheng Lang didn’t feel as disgusted when he saw Su Chen.

Su Chen shrugged: “It’s basically confirmed that it was done by the Demonic God Cultists. It was a feint, trading the lives of all Demonic God Cultists in Ying Feng for Wei Yinsuo’s life.”

“Chief Justice Wei died a worthy death,” Cheng Lang lamented, not surprised by the outcome.

His eyes flickered, and he glanced at the monitor above his head, then lowered his voice. “I heard that another body was lost that day?”

Compared to Wei Yinsuo’s death, which couldn’t be covered up, very few people knew about Meng Qi’s resurrection. Cheng Lang had only vaguely heard about it.

“Minor details, already destroyed.” Su Chen said casually.

Cheng Lang couldn’t help but feel disappointed. Just then, with a ‘ding’, the elevator stopped on the twenty-fourth floor.

The two tidied their clothes, exited the elevator, and headed straight to the nearby hall.

At the same time, they took out a white paper package from their pockets and placed it at the staff desk outside the hall.

Entering the main hall, they were immediately greeted by Wei Yinsuo’s massive, shoehorn-shaped face. His black-and-white photograph hung in the center of the hall, accompanied by mournful music.

Wei Yinsuo’s death couldn’t be concealed, so a conclusion naturally had to be reached.

As a Chief Justice, the Tribunal afforded him the highest posthumous treatment, in recognition of his achievements during his lifetime, and ordered all Tier 4 Judges and above to attend the memorial service.

The scale of this memorial service was high, with many important figures present.

As a core seed of the Tribunal, Su Chen had the right to offer condolences alone, while Cheng Lang could only wait.

He glanced at Wei Yinsuo’s photos, and for some reason, Su Chen always felt a strong urge to smile. He walked over the black carpet to the very front and bowed slightly.

“Family thanks for the gift,” someone next to him called out. Su Chen turned and saw a few middle-aged people. The one in the lead still wore a forced smile, indicating goodwill.

His seat was in the third row. In the first row sat Chong Jingtian, with several other middle-aged people beside him, all appearing calm and collected.

When Su Chen arrived, they glanced at him and began to speak.

“Is this the core seed the Tribunal just recruited last year? Su Chen, right? Such a talented young man.”

“I heard this person is unmatched in the inner court, forcing Wei Yu Fan to advance to Tier 5 to avoid challenging him in the arena.”

Chong Jingtian said indifferently, “Young people, they need to compete.”

In the fourth row, Wei Yu Fan, Zhong Ming, Feng Ze, Liang Jingcheng, and Ming Lin were all present, their expressions varied.

Chong Jingtian had given a strict order: they had to come, even if they didn’t want to.

Su Chen sat beside Ming Lin, listening to him muse, “To have such a grand send-off after death is worth it.”

“Indeed,” Su Chen nodded, then looked at Wei Yinsuo’s photo. From life to death, I’m here to send you off. No need to worry about me, old man.

“What’s the point of being glorious after death?” Feng Ze shook his head. He had become a core seed again, but he seemed much calmer and could chat and laugh with Liang Jingcheng.

“Better than being nameless,” Feng Ze’s words were subtly meaningful. “The Xiao family’s funeral was barely attended.”

Wei Yu Fan’s face immediately darkened.

“The people from Yuandu are here,” Ming Lin suddenly said, looking to the side and back. Su Chen’s eyes flickered slightly, and he looked over as well.

A group of people walked into the hall, the most eye-catching of whom was an old man draped in a silver-patterned cloak, his crystal scepter constantly emitting light particles.

“That’s the Luminary Envoy – Wu Chenpei.”

The people from Yuandu arrived in Ying Feng three days ago. It was said that members of the Elder Council personally went to greet them, but the commotion was minimal and not publicized. Su Chen only found out about it afterward.

Today, Chong Jingtian coercively ordered all deputy department heads and above to attend, so Su Chen came to pay his respects, not expecting to meet people from Yuandu here.

Feng Ze lowered his voice: “It is said that they came this time for an important matter, not merely for superficial communication and learning.”

“That’s the Son of the Church – Hong Xuan.”

Ming Lin raised his chin slightly, indicating the person following the old man, with slightly curly light golden hair, white as snow, head bowed.

Liang Jingcheng was quite surprised, “He’s even prettier than in the photos. Is this really a man?”

“I heard he was only discovered by the Church two years ago and became a Son of the Church last year.” At this point, Ming Lin whispered, “I heard someone say that he might possess the never-before-seen Crimson talent.”

“Not ‘might be’,” Wei Yu Fan spoke again. “He is a Tier 4 professional with Crimson talent.”

Crimson talent? Su Chen was surprised. Is this the trump card the Church has that ensures they can gain the Red Flame Thunder God’s recognition?
