My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 174

The first thing he thought of was to inform Old Xia to apprehend the person as soon as possible.

But then, this feeling suddenly disappeared.

Disappeared?

Su Chen frowned slightly. Although his perception range couldn’t cover the entire Ying Feng, it was impossible for the other party to suddenly leave his perceived range.

“This has never happened before, even Meng Qi was perceived very clearly.”

He didn’t think his perception was infallible. To put it bluntly, this sense of perception still relied on the connection between Demonic God believers, based on the Demonic God.

Outside the Demonic Artifact, applying a metal box made of meteorite could blur this perception, indicating that as long as there was a means, isolation was possible.

It’s just that before him, no believer would use this perception to deal with their own people, so naturally no one would take precautions.

“This Saint, unlike Meng Qi, could it be the main body?” Su Chen’s heart tightened. The main bodies of these things were extraordinary.

But then he negated it. The same argument applies. If it could be crushed, the opponent wouldn’t use tactics like “luring the tiger out of its den” and then secretly lurking. They would have already directly snatched the stone tablet.

“The person disappeared…” Su Chen retracted his disguised form and pondered, “Then it’s not good to inform Old Xia now, and my precognitive ability hasn’t touched any Demonic God-related artifacts yet.

“I wonder if I can still sense this guy…”

For now, he couldn’t figure out if this lurking Divine Son perceived him, a suddenly appearing priest, and thus isolated himself, or if he isolated himself due to other reasons.

He would have to observe the situation later.

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen opened his bracelet again and accessed the internal network of the Tribunal. The relevant permissions had been opened for him, allowing him to select C-level training methods: “The potion is on its way, so I should also prepare for body tempering and meditation methods.”

He carefully selected and soon found what he wanted.

[C-level Cloud Dragon Body Tempering Method] – Introduces highly compressed wind elemental power into the bones, shaking the bone marrow and gradually permeating the flesh and tendons.

[C-level Mirage Sea Meditation Method] – Visualizes an endless illusory sea, constructing a dreamlike illusion with mixed thoughts.

The difficulty and depth of these were significantly higher than D-level. After selection, he still needed to follow procedures to have the relevant data sent to him, but that was just a matter of time.

During this time, Su Chen looked through his options. The C-level body tempering and meditation methods were much fewer, with a combined total of less than fifty.

“I guess by the third replacement, I’ll have to rely on external devices for assistance,” Su Chen commented. Different body tempering methods required different energy properties.

Previously, with the abundance of low-level body tempering methods, he could choose those that suited him.

But now, as body tempering methods become scarcer, he will inevitably have to rely on external means.

“However, by that time, I might have already gone to the Royal Court?” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, “I wonder what kind of place this Royal Court is.”

Gu Bing’s actions were swift. The first batch of potions had already been delivered, enough for him to use for a day, and more were being purchased.

“Xuanhu Elixir—” Su Chen held the glass bottle. Inside, a translucent liquid enveloped orange-yellow potion, transforming into various shapes as it flowed, quite magical.

A single bottle of this cost nearly 300,000 gold, and the consumption was like a cascade of gold coins.

Fourth-tier professionals are the backbone of Ying Feng, and when appointed to an external position, they become city lords, governing a region with esteemed status.

If the potential is exhausted, there is no consumption.

However, fully supporting a high-potential tier four would cost nearly fifty million gold per month. Even for the current three families, this expenditure was barely manageable.

“However, I could let the Tribunal bear more of the burden.” Su Chen thought. Given the current situation, with a wave of his hand, many families would be willing to gather, but he didn’t want to bother.

He cranked up the gravity chamber’s multiplier, all the way to twenty-seven or twenty-eight times, before he truly felt it.

“It’s almost the same standard as what Senior Brother Teng Liang uses.” Su Chen moved his body, feeling the stickiness in his joints, and couldn’t help but sigh, “A regular fourth-tier professional’s typical endurance limit should be around twenty times. With continuous accumulation, it’s truly terrifying.”

“However, Senior Brother Teng Liang’s second and third tiers are top-tier professions, while his first and fourth tiers are upper-tier. As a giant-class profession, his normal humanoid state isn’t particularly strong; he still needs to undergo professionalization.”

After pouring the potion into his mouth, Su Chen immediately attempted to operate the new body tempering and meditation methods, quickly getting the hang of them.

Clouds and mist churned violently around him, and milky white qi currents wrapped around his limbs. Highly condensed wind elements transformed into crystal needles, piercing through his pores and into his entire body.

In the faint stinging sensation, muscle fibers were repeatedly torn and reconstructed, and his bones faintly resonated with a clear ringing sound.

A moment later, Su Chen was surprised: “—Although the difficulty has increased significantly, due to my improved talent, the efficiency is about the same as when I was at the third tier.”

“As the tiers get higher, the role of talent becomes more and more obvious.”

As the clouds and mist flowed, Su Chen’s figure was gradually obscured.

A little earlier, in the Ande Hotel in the south of Ying Feng, which was considered a decent hotel in the area.

In the best private room, a group of people were clinking glasses. Two groups were seated on either side. The group on the left, led by a one-armed middle-aged man, consisted of nervous-looking young people, who were the participants from Gujiang City for the assessment.

On the other side were the people from Gujiang City who had been deeply rooted in Ying Feng for many years, looking much more composed and dressed impeccably.

——

Sitting at the head of the table was He Kang, his bushy eyebrows twitching, his cheeks flushed, as he looked at the somewhat reserved young man who was toasting him.

“Xu Siyuan—” He pondered for a moment, then asked, somewhat unsure, “Xu Heng is your—”

“He’s my father—” He Kang immediately understood, and couldn’t help but express nostalgia, “I remember when I was a child, I often followed your father around—”

Although he was a generation apart from Xu Siyuan, he was only eight or nine years older than Xu Siyuan’s father.

“My father also often mentions you,” Xu Siyuan seemed a little excited and quickly picked up his wine glass.

“Put it down. From your looks, you probably can’t drink much. This maple bamboo wine…” He Kang glanced at the wine bottle on the table and shook his head, “The price is not cheap, even a Tier 2 professional can’t drink much. We’re all from the same hometown, there’s no need to be so polite.”

And the one-armed middle-aged man sitting on the other side seemed a little sheepish.

“Charming Silver talent—” He Kang pondered, “That’s pretty good. This Tribunal assessment will probably drag on for three or four months at least. If you need anything in Ying Feng, you can come to the Tribunal to find me.”

“Okay,” Xu Siyuan repeatedly agreed, sitting beside the one-armed middle-aged man.

After another round of toasts, the atmosphere became much livelier. The young man sitting next to He Gang suddenly lowered his head, opened his constantly vibrating bracelet, and his eyes flickered. First, he was shocked, and then a look of envy appeared.

Closing the page, he turned to He Kang and said, “I just received news that Senior Su Chen has already been promoted to the Fourth Tier.”

“Fourth Tier!?” He Kang, who was drinking, froze, looking over in surprise. The surrounding movements fell silent, and everyone looked at him.

“Is that true? How could it be so fast?” he couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s basically confirmed. It’s from Senior Wei Yu Fan’s people, the message arrived.” The young man nodded.

“This is truly—” He Kang’s expression was complicated, and he put down his wine glass.

He had been at the Tribunal for so many years, and he was only a Fourth Tier professional. Su Chen had only been there for about a year at most.

“Is it Su Chen? It seems he’s been promoted to the Fourth Tier?”

“So fast?”

And the others working in various agencies in Yongfeng also whispered among themselves, exclaiming repeatedly.

“What’s wrong?” the one-armed middle-aged man asked cautiously.

“Nothing—” He Kang waved his hand, but Xu Siyuan whispered, “Brother Kang, is this Su Chen—very powerful?”

Upon hearing this, the table fell silent. Xu Siyuan was a little flustered, “Did I say something wrong?”

“No—no.” He Kang smiled, “Based on your situation, there shouldn’t be any problem getting into the Tribunal. I can tell you about it.”

“Senior Su Chen is one of the six core seeds of the Tribunal, and also—” Speaking of this, He Kang’s expression became somewhat complex, “Currently, he is also one of the most promising candidates to become the Chief Adjudicator.”

Chief Adjudicator… the one-armed middle-aged man’s throat bobbed. The city lord of their Gujiang City was merely a student of one of the nine adjudicators of the Tribunal.

He Kang continued: “He only joined the Tribunal last year, and during the assessment, he displayed a dark jade green talent, which was astonishing. He even surpassed another highly anticipated dark jade green talent holder, Chu Xuan.”

“After joining the Tribunal, he has always been low-key, never actively provoking others. When he was promoted to the Third Tier, he defeated Chu Xuan again with an overwhelming display.”

“Not long ago, he defeated the Holy Envoy from Yuandu. That guy possessed a scarlet talent!”

“Now, he has actually been promoted to the Fourth Tier.” He sighed again, naturally not believing that Su Chen would sacrifice quality for speed and specifically choose a low-difficulty Fourth Tier profession.

At the very least, it must be a Fourth Tier upper-tier profession.

Everyone who had been working in Ying Feng naturally nodded repeatedly, having heard of these deeds.

But the newcomers from Gujiang City, who had just arrived in Ying Feng, seemed somewhat bewildered and not particularly shocked.

What He Kang said was already beyond their comprehension, making it difficult for them to truly grasp how astonishing the implications were.

The only one who could somewhat understand was the one-armed middle-aged man, whose expression was startled.

Because a Fourth Tier professional was already on par with his city lord, and according to what He Kang said, Su Chen was only around twenty years old.

“—Su Chen?” Xu Siyuan also looked bewildered, but his mind was racing.

He did know this person. When the faceless ghost believers had not been completely annihilated, relevant information mentioned him.

It was said that this person seemed to be especially valued by the Black Buddha. Although he was surprised, he didn’t pay too much attention to it.

To be able to defeat Hong Xuan—this guy seemed to possess the ability of professional fusion, which shouldn’t appear on Scarlet Thunder Star, yet he also lost.

Su Chen—

“—It’s a pity, Su Chen doesn’t like forming factions, otherwise, you could try to follow him,” He Kang sighed with emotion.

Xu Siyuan nodded repeatedly, seemingly asking curiously, “He sounds really powerful, is the dark jade green talent that amazing? What about that Chu Xuan?”

Meng Qi’s plan was devised by him, and following Chu Xuan was the first step. To understand what happened to Meng Qi, he had to start with Chu Xuan.

The last message he received was that Meng Qi had killed Chu Xuan and become a core seed.

“Chu Xuan?” At the mention of this name, He Kang’s face changed slightly, his expression became more subdued, and he sighed, “He’s dead.”

“Dead?” The people from Gujiang City all looked surprised.

This incident was not a secret in Ying Feng. He Kang had met Chu Xuan a few times and was quite touched, so he talked more and more about it until he brought up Meng Qi.

But this matter concerns the reputation of several adjudicators, as well as the Chief.

He Kang spoke vaguely, only saying that Chief Teng Liang discovered the clue and immediately killed him.

“Teng Liang—” Xu Siyuan’s eyes flickered slightly, finally getting a name.

After that, He Kang remained silent about the matter. After a satisfying meal, everyone dispersed. As He Kang left, Xu Siyuan pondered, “Can a fifth-tier professional see through the disguise of a faceless body?”

“Teng Liang—Su Chen’s senior brother, Su Chen is being targeted by the Black Buddha—”

He vaguely felt that there was a clue in all this—hmm?

Suddenly, his pupils contracted slightly, and he looked into the distance. Where did that believer’s aura come from?

He sensed the presence of a faceless ghost believer in that direction, seemingly a priest-level one.

Suddenly, he retracted all his aura and hid deep within this body.

He was not like those low-level believers. A newly appeared faceless ghost priest might be Ying Feng’s people fishing.

Ying Feng’s high-level forces were gradually leaving, and at this juncture, he did not want any unexpected events to occur.

“Disappeared again?”

A moment later, he became even more surprised, “Was it a believer captured by Ying Feng? Didn’t they always kill them immediately in the past?”

Low-level believers are fanatics. If captured, they won’t say a word, and the chains of faith prevent their memories from being searched, leading to instant death upon contact. This unkilled faceless priest is peculiar.

“Wait a little longer, wait a little longer—” he muttered in his heart.

A few days later, in the public training room of the Tribunal, this place was prepared for ordinary Tribunal guards and adjudicators.

But recently, most of the staff have been diverted, leaving the place empty.

“Junior brother, are you ready?” Bu Siqi walked leisurely along the edge of the training ground, his hands clasped behind his head.

——

In the field, Su Chen wore a metal blindfold over his eyes, inscribed with multi-layered carvings that shimmered with a faint light, sealing off all his external perceptions.

At the same time, he voluntarily retracted his mental energy, currently unable to perceive any movement from the outside world, but faint black electric arcs pulsed on the surface of his skin.

Without any response, Bu Siqi stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, and flicked a finger. A condensed beam of blood-red light shot through the air.

The blood glow did not travel in a straight line but rather snaked wildly through the air, its trajectory erratic, leaving behind dark red afterimages wherever it passed.

As expected, Su Chen made no response before the attack reached him.

Bang!

The blood-red light struck his skin, immediately exploding into a large area of black electrical arcs. Viscous blood-colored energy intertwined with inky black electrical snakes, then quickly dissipated.

“What kind of ghost defense is this?” Bu Siqi’s eyebrows twitched. Although it wasn’t his full-strength attack, it was close.

He couldn’t even make Su Chen move?
