My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 164

Chapter 164: Promotion to Lord of Oracles, Power of Oracles

Jiang Shumo was efficient, bringing the Eye of the Thunder God within a month and a half.

“Thank you, Chief Justice.” Su Chen genuinely thanked him before reaching out to take it. It looked like a crystal, but it felt warm in his hand and was surprisingly pliable.

“You deserve it.” Jiang Shumo waved his hand, but then asked with a hint of curiosity, “I remember the professional information you looked up was for a Tier 4 Advanced Catastrophe Walker, right? I don’t think there’s a job requirement for this item?”

“There isn’t, I’m using it to forge a weapon.”

Su Chen’s heart slightly tensed, but he had already prepared a response, so no flaws were evident.

“Is that so?” Jiang Shumo pondered, unsure if he believed him, then turned and left.

“Being occasionally tested by this Chief Justice is quite stimulating…” Su Chen watched him leave, shaking his head.

Given his current status, Jiang Shumo’s probing might not be suspicion, but a habit, a habit of an old schemer.

Su Chen didn’t take it too seriously and entered the gravity chamber, closing the door.

He tried to absorb it, and the Eye of the Thunder God seeped into his pores like mercury. His skin rippled in circles, taking on a strange translucent state, allowing him to clearly see azure energy surging through his blood vessels and disappearing somewhere in his body.

【Catastrophe Walker has fulfilled its wish and transformed into–Calamity Envoy】

“Calamity Envoy, sounds pretty good…” Su Chen looked at the panel. The Catastrophe Walker had already evolved. He then glanced down, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

【Arcane Hand: 99%】

Finally, he was only 1% away from advancing to Tier 4.

Calming his mind, Su Chen struck a pose and continued to circulate the 【Guixu Meditation Method】.

He had already reached Master level a few days ago, acquiring the ability named 【Void Abyss】, which slightly increased his total mental power.

Since he was at the final stage of Tier 3, Su Chen naturally didn’t plan to change his meditation method again.

He had reached this progress the day before yesterday, and Su Chen had planned to push through today, but Jiang Shumo happened to deliver the Eye of the Thunder God.

But it wasn’t long before the mental power in his brain surged incessantly, an overflowing sensation arising from within, letting Su Chen know that the last 1% had been filled without even looking at the panel.

When a profession is developed to its limit, the professional naturally feels it.

Su Chen withdrew his stance, slowly exhaled, and gradually adjusted himself to his optimal state. The Lord of Oracles had no special requirements and could be promoted at any time.

At this very moment!

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and instantly, the mental power in Su Chen’s mind boiled.

The originally calm mental power erupted like a mountain-shaking tsunami, dispersing in all directions.

This transformation was so sudden and violent that Su Chen had not anticipated it. The expansion of his mental power allowed him to perceive everything around him with unprecedented clarity, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Soon, the expanded mental power began to collapse inward toward his brain at an alarming speed.

The abilities born from the three meditation methods, 【Cohesion】, 【Ice Soul】, and 【Void Abyss】, merged with it, bursting forth with brilliant white light during the compression of his mental power.

Soon, his mental power gradually condensed into a constantly trembling spiritual core. As it formed, an excruciating pain swept through his consciousness.

【Arcane Hand has advanced to Lord of Oracles!】

【Mysterious Tool Master has been enhanced—Controllable Mysterious Tools +1】

【Scarlet Thunder Prison has been enhanced!】

【Psionic Power has been enhanced!】

【Mental Implantation has transformed—Law: Can issue direct commands to targets using mental seeds.】

【Black Tuo’s Gaze has been enhanced!】

【Arcane Hand has been enhanced】!

【Acquired professional ability—Oracle: What is spoken becomes reality, strength determined by mental power consumed.】

The transformation ended, and Su Chen opened his eyes. The world before him seemed to have shed another layer of mist, becoming unprecedentedly clear. He always felt this way after each promotion.

Su Chen’s lungs expanded, and he took a deep breath, experiencing his mental power, feeling quite surprised. His once rootless mental power had actually condensed into a core.

“A spiritual core, isn’t that something only Fifth-tier professionals condense?”

According to his understanding, a spiritual core was a highly aggregated form of mental power, generally born in Fifth-tier professionals. Among Fourth-tier professionals, only those with top-tier mental professions had a chance, and even then, only in the later stages of development.

There were many benefits to condensing a spiritual core: increased mental power recovery speed, a significant rise in mental resilience, and the most miraculous point.

When the physical body is annihilated, one would not die immediately. The spiritual core could serve as a repository of consciousness, and could even occupy the body of another creature.

Of course, this occupation was merely a last resort. Without the original physical body, mental power would continuously deplete until it completely vanished.

“Is it because my mental resilience and total amount have reached the standard?” Su Chen couldn’t help but guess. This was the only explanation, and it was also due to the continuous birth of various abilities from his meditation methods.

It was through accumulating these abilities tier by tier that he gained such a unique advantage.

After a while, Su Chen looked at the panel again. Most of his abilities had been enhanced, reaching the strength of Tier 4.

And what Su Chen was most concerned about was the new professional ability—Oracle.

“It sounds like ‘what is said becomes reality’?” He raised an eyebrow, quite surprised, then pondered for a moment, straightened his body, cleared his throat, and said with a sense of ceremony: “Let there be water.”

As soon as the words left his mouth, his spiritual core trembled. Su Chen’s pupils constricted, his vision blurred, and he felt dizzy, almost collapsing to the ground.

Fortunately, the Reverser quickly extracted physical strength, and even though his physical profession was still Tier 3, it converted a considerable amount of mental power, allowing him to recover.

“It almost drained me dry… that’s too outrageous…” Su Chen rubbed his temples, looking around but not finding the water he had requested.

“It shouldn’t be used like that.”

The Glutton continued to convert physical strength. After fully recovering, Su Chen tried again, saying, “Take off my clothes.”

This time, only a small amount of mental power was consumed, and the clothes on his body were controlled by an invisible force, falling off.

Afterwards, he experimented further, spending over half an hour to summarize more rules.

“This ability is like a rigid program…” Su Chen stroked his chin. “The clearer the goal, the clearer the method, the less it consumes.”

At first, when he said “Let there be water,” it was tantamount to creating something out of nothing. Not only could his mental power not support it, but the ability also couldn’t achieve it.

“The best way to use it should be objective + method.” Su Chen concluded.

“It’s a bit complicated, but it’s still very powerful. It indirectly makes up for fighting methods, and I can also convert mental power in real time to continuously supply energy.” Su Chen was still very satisfied.

“It should be easy to deal with ordinary Tier 4 professionals. If assisted by Arcane Hand, I wonder if it can cause trouble for Tier 5 professionals.”

After scanning the text of the promotions, Su Chen felt a sense of satisfaction, then looked at the top.

【Lord of Oracles: 0%】

【Azure Thunder Master: 92%】

It wouldn’t be long before the Azure Thunder Master could also advance.

“By then, all Body Forging Methods, Meditation Methods, and auxiliary potions will have to be replaced…” Su Chen thought, then frowned: “But, won’t my advancement speed be too fast, as if I don’t need to meet professional requirements?”

“I’ll wait until Azure Thunder Master also advances, then replace all kinds of resources at once. It won’t be long anyway, and it saves trouble.” “First, I’ll have Gu Bing prepare the materials to upgrade the weapons.”

Su Chen took out the scale armor, spirit blade, and combat boots from his storage space, and evaluated them one by one with his Arms Master ability.

“Earth Dragon Dark Scales, Dragon Bone Cold Iron, Phantom Mirage Skin… there are quite a few materials.”

After getting the upgrade requirements, Su Chen sent a message to Gu Bing, asking her to prepare.

“As for the new controlled mystic tool…” Su Chen pondered. Attack, defense, and speed were all covered.

He reached out his hand, and a metal mask appeared in his palm. “Should I strengthen my stealth?”

After thinking for a moment, Su Chen put it away again. Once a mystic tool is controlled, it cannot be replaced, so there was no need to rush.

In one go, Su Chen rested for a moment, drank a few gulps of nutrient solution, and then continued to develop the Azure Thunder Master ability.

He planned to mention the matter of viewing the stone slab to Chong Jingtian and others after he acquired the Essence of Spirituality and became a Spirit User.

If there was only one chance, it would be better to be cautious. It was still unclear what the situation with the panel’s recording was.

…

“Chief…”

He Kang followed behind Chong Jingtian, his thick eyebrows knitted together, his throat bobbing, and his eyes darting around. Behind him were several others, all inner court seeds of the Tribunal, looking uneasy.

“Where are we going?”

He couldn’t help but ask. They were walking down a narrow metal corridor. The cramped space, coupled with the unknown situation, made them uneasy.

They couldn’t help but be uneasy.

Today, Chong Jingtian suddenly gathered them, blindfolded and deafened them. When they opened their eyes, they were already in this narrow corridor, not knowing where they were.

It looked like they were being led to some secret place.

But none of them felt the excitement of being entrusted with a great mission; instead, they were mostly apprehensive.

If there was any good news, it should be those core seeds who got it first. It wouldn’t be their turn anyway.

“We’re here.” Chong Jingtian stopped. He Kang looked intently and saw a thick metal door in front of them, which was open. It was dozens of centimeters thick, made of dark alloy, and inscribed with runes that flickered like breathing in the dim light.

Standing beside it was Pu Zhenghong, whose hair and beard were all white.

In the doorway was a cloud of crimson mist, occasionally erupting with red electric arcs, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Old Man Pu was also here… He Kang’s heart trembled even more. His legs went weak. The grander the spectacle, the more afraid he became.

“Chief…”

“Can you summon some courage?” Seeing his demeanor, Chong Jingtian couldn’t help but feel annoyed and said coldly, “He Kang, you go in first.”

“Chief…” He Kang called out again, hoping to appeal to Chong Jingtian’s paternal affection.

Ever since Xiao Ying passed away last time, he and Wei Yu Fan had drifted further apart. It couldn’t be that he would be punished again for those past events, could it?

“Get in!”

Chong Jingtian said nothing more, and kicked him in.

“Ah!”

He Kang let out a mournful cry and tumbled into the crimson mist. After stumbling a few steps, he managed to stand, subconsciously looking up.

Before him stood a gigantic stone slab, almost a person’s height, in an irregular, fractured shape, its edges covered in jagged cracks.

It was a dull cinnabar color, faintly exuding a weak glow like flowing lava. Lines of symbols were carved on it, and dark gold crystals were embedded in the sunken grooves of the symbols.

“This is…” He Kang subconsciously looked, his mind seemingly drawn in, but he couldn’t see clearly, enveloped in a hazy mist.

Vaguely, he seemed to see a pair of dragon eyes, with vertical pupils

where dark golden flames leaped, flashing with thunderous lightning.

He vaguely heard thunder in his ears, as if mixed with anger.

He Kang’s cheek twitched, and his entire body was struck as if by a heavy blow, sent flying back out of the mist.

Chong Jingtian was quick, pulling him back.

He Kang only felt dizziness and sharp chest pain. He looked down and saw his chest was already charred black.

“What did you see?” Chong Jingtian asked.

“I… I…” He Kang’s expression was dazed, subconsciously recalling, only remembering being kicked in and then flying out.

Seeing his appearance, Chong Jingtian understood. Although he had a premonition, he still shook his head in disappointment and threw out a tube of green potion.

“Jade Cloud Potion?” He Kang reached out and took it, surprised. This was an extremely precious medical potion, capable of repairing injuries even for Tier 5 professionals.

Enduring the stinging pain in his chest, he gulped it down. Immediately, a green glow emanated from the wound on his chest, and new flesh sprouted, repairing the injury.

“Ren Yong.” Chong Jingtian looked at the next person. The person gave a bitter smile, resigned to his fate, and walked in, then flew out.

This repeated until the last person.

“Ah…” A scream came from the mist. The last figure that flew out had his left arm burst open, blood splattering all over the ground, leaving only a stump.

Chong Jingtian’s face changed drastically. He hurried forward to catch him, took out a tube of Jade Cloud Potion, and poured it into his mouth. After stabilizing his injuries.

He then looked at Pu Zhenghong and said in a deep voice, “Only five people, how did it get angry?”

Pu Zhenghong was also surprised and said helplessly, “Spirituality is like human nature; no one can predict it.”

Chong Jingtian frowned, then reached out and took out a bottle of purple-gold potion from somewhere. It was thick like gel. He sprinkled it on the arm bone where the flesh was missing.

Immediately, flesh and blood grew on the bone at a visible speed, and quickly became completely healed.

“Thank you, Chief…” The man’s face was pale. Chong Jingtian patted his shoulder, then swept his gaze over the startled people and said in a deep voice, “You guys go wait for me at the entrance first.”

“Thankfully, although the spirit is enraged, there is no thunder punishment attached, so it can be repaired,” Pu Zhenghong said, retracting his gaze.

The Jade Cloud Potion was effective, and He Kang and the others’ injuries were mostly repaired. Hearing this, they quickly turned and left.

After seeing them off, Pu Zhenghong shook his head and said, “They all have Crimson Gold talent. It’s useless for them to come, why make them suffer this hardship?”

“What if…” Chong Jingtian sighed, “It’s too unfair to place all hope on Su Chen.”

Pu Zhenghong understood Chong Jingtian’s thoughts, but still said, “Isn’t there also Hong Xuan?”

“Hong Xuan…” Chong Jingtian fell silent.

“You can’t escape it. When Yuandu arrived, everything was meticulously prepared.” Pu Zhenghong said faintly, “Even if Su Chen succeeds, the spirituality residing in this damaged stone slab cannot make him the chosen one. He must go to the ruins.”

“If Yuandu doesn’t agree, the ruins cannot be opened. Hong Xuan will definitely have to look at the stone slab. If Su Chen fails, we can only rely on Hong Xuan.”

“Unless you want to drag them all down with you.”
