My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 194

Lan Hao passed by Su Chen with an expressionless face, the green flame almost scorching his body, and he observed more closely.

The green flame burned on the surface of his skin, and the broken clavicle at his shoulder blade extended like a living thing in the green fire, forming crystalline bone buds that interlinked to form a new bone scaffold.

The necrotic muscle tissue was decomposed by the flames, and new granulation tissue intertwined at a visible speed.

Seeing that he didn’t pay attention to anyone and left on his own, Lin Yue snorted disdainfully: “He has no brains and insufficient strength, so who is he putting on airs for?”

Since Lan Hao could be brought by Qing Cang, his identity must not be simple, but similarly, the other two were no worse than him.

When Lin Yue said this, Lan Hao hadn’t gone far, his body paused, and he quickened his pace.

“Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to you.” Lin Yue saw Su Chen staring at Lan Hao’s back and thought he was worried.

She hinted, obviously referring to the possibility of Qing Cang taking him as a student.

“What does Blue Flame Undying Phoenix mean?” Su Chen curiously asked.

“It’s the name of his family.” Lin Yue saw his curiosity, and a teasing and mocking expression appeared on her fair and beautiful face, “The matters inside are not something that can be explained in one or two sentences.”

“If you want to know, come to my room later, and I’ll tell you slowly.”

Su Chen was speechless for a while, glancing at Lin Yue. This woman was tall, only half a head shorter than him. She always wore a black combat suit, her chin slightly raised, obviously quite proud. Getting involved with her was trouble.

Shaking his head, Su Chen didn’t respond. He looked away and focused on Wan Chen, who was walking down.

This guy… Lin Yue was speechless. It was fine that he didn’t say anything, but he even shook his head after looking at her.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was thriving… Chong Jingtian, who was nearby, witnessed everything. In just a few days, Su Chen had subtly integrated into this group of people.

This setback would undoubtedly make Lan Hao hold a grudge, but it would also refresh the impression he left on others.

“Teacher Qing…” Wan Chen calmly greeted Qing Cang.

Qing Cang nodded slightly, not expressing any opinion on this battle, only saying: “Lan Hao is rough in nature, don’t take it to heart.”

He was not defending Lan Hao, but he didn’t want any irreversible conflict to happen between the two under his care.

After they returned, even if someone died, it had nothing to do with him.

“Wan Chen understands.” He nodded.

Qing Cang then turned and left, with everyone following closely behind.

Wan Chen’s gaze fell on Su Chen. Lan Hao’s actions were meant to make Su Chen a scapegoat, but his essential target was still Wan Chen.

He and Su Chen had unexpectedly teamed up to prank Lan Hao.

When Su Chen came to him earlier, he truly thought that this person was intimidated by Lan Hao, so he had no intention of talking. But now, it seemed that Su Chen had some value.

“Brother Su Chen.” He called out, and Su Chen looked at him in surprise, slowing his pace to walk alongside Wan Chen.

Qing Cang and Chong Jingtian seemed to have unfinished business and returned to the upper cockpit.

“With your prank, Lan Hao’s state of mind will probably hold a grudge.”

Wan Chen brought up the matter again, and Su Chen shook his head, “If he hadn’t insisted on taking me to you, it might not have been like this.”

Ultimately, all of this was Lan Hao’s own doing. If he truly had no other intentions and it was just a simple suggestion, he wouldn’t have sought out Su Chen again, and today’s events wouldn’t have happened.

Wan Chen couldn’t help but sigh even more, as one of the parties involved, he could naturally understand the logic.

Su Chen remained silent for a moment, then asked the question again, “At the end of the battle, I heard Lin Yue mention the Blue Flame Undying Phoenix. Does that refer to Lan Hao’s family?”

“Blue Flame Undying Phoenix…” Wan Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded, “That’s right, the Blue Flame family indeed has this alternate name.”

“Is it because of that self-healing ability?” Su Chen followed up with the question.

“You could say that.” Wan Chen nodded, thinking to himself that this was no secret, and Su Chen would know sooner or later.

“But Lan Hao’s self-healing ability is not strong, and it has limitations. It cannot be synchronized during combat, so it cannot be called an undying phoenix.”

“Can his ability get even stronger?” Su Chen’s interest grew. He lacked a profession that could heal itself.

“Naturally.” Wan Chen opened up, no longer holding back, “The Blue Flame Undying Phoenix is not only well-known in the Bronze Sect but also in the Dust Star Sea.”

“The core originates from the Sacred Position they possess, named the Undying Phoenix.”

As Su Chen listened, his eyelids suddenly twitched. Sacred Position?

He had been curious about this term for a long time, and now that someone finally mentioned it, he immediately asked, “Sacred Position, what is a Sacred Position?”

“Hmm… it’s a bit complicated to explain.” Wan Chen paused to think, not surprised by Su Chen’s curiosity, “You know the Morning Star rank, right? The Great Venerable Scarlet Flame and Thunder is a Morning Star professional. Besides the requirements of his profession itself, to advance, one must also be a dual rank eight professional.”

“When the spirit and flesh become one and the Morning Star fire is ignited, at the moment of advancement, the Morning Star fire will fuse all previously held special professions, combined with the characteristics of the Morning Star rank, into an exclusive Sacred Position.”

So that’s how it is, Su Chen was greatly enlightened. He had speculated for a long time before, but he hadn’t anticipated that Sacred Positions came about this way.

“Then the Sacred Position must be very powerful, right?” Su Chen couldn’t help but ask.

“Naturally…” Wan Chen nodded and walked up the steps with Su Chen. “Every Sacred Position is forged from a large number of special professions and tempered by the Morning Star fire, giving birth to not only powerful but even heaven-defying core abilities.”

“Like the Undying Phoenix, it’s because it can be reborn from the flames.” At this point, Wan Chen emphasized: “It’s truly reborn after death.”

Powerful, core ability exclusive to the Sacred Position… Su Chen murmured in his heart. No wonder it took three Black Buddha essences to activate the promotion path.

No, it should be that only three Black Buddha essences are needed to give a special profession the *possibility* of transforming into a Sacred Position.

Thinking about it this way, he felt it was somewhat heaven-defying and quite worrisome.

After all, the essence only opens up the possibility; it still needs to meet the requirements to advance, and who knows how difficult those requirements will be.

“The Lan family has a Morning Star Professional?” Su Chen suddenly realized.

“Yes and no. The Lan family once had a Morning Star Professional, but now their strongest is a rank nine professional.” Wan Chen explained.

With the title of Blue Flame Undying Phoenix, Su Chen thought the Lan family currently had a Morning Star rank.

But now, it seems it’s not the case. He immediately reacted, “Can ordinary professionals also take on this Sacred Position?”

“Indeed.” Wan Chen confirmed his guess: “As long as you sequentially take on all the special professions that make up the Sacred Position and use certain methods, you can take it on.”

“However, its power will be diminished, and it cannot be compared to when it’s in the hands of a Morning Star rank.”

“For example, the core rebirth ability of the Lan family’s Undying Phoenix Sacred Position is greatly restricted because of this. However, its accompanying self-healing ability is still powerful enough.”

Su Chen pondered, then asked, “So, ordinary special professions become useless after reaching the Morning Star rank?”

“That’s not exactly true.” Wan Chen slowly walked, shaking his head. “It is said that the power will be greatly reduced, and they seem to be used as auxiliary materials for forging Sacred Positions.”

“Besides forging Sacred Positions when first promoted, can they be forged later?” Su Chen couldn’t help but be curious.

“It seems possible, but there are also some limitations.” Wan Chen’s words were vague and unclear, whether he genuinely didn’t know or was being evasive.

But hearing this, Su Chen already understood the origin and power of the Sacred Position. His eyes flickered, and he said, “From the looks of it, a Sacred Position is the lifeblood of a family, and it’s probably very difficult for outsiders to obtain it.”

Wan Chen couldn’t help but smile, “That’s for sure. For Morning Star rank, it’s a one-of-a-kind situation; the spiritual requirements are hard to meet, and whether it can emerge depends on fate.”

“And in the long lineage of a family, a single rank nine professional, coupled with a Sacred Position, forms the core fighting force.”

“The more Sacred Positions there are, the stronger a family’s foundation. Therefore, the requirements for Sacred Positions, and even the names of related special professions, are top-secret. They will definitely do everything possible to keep them confidential.”

“That’s truly difficult…” Su Chen murmured. It seemed that even in the Bronze Sect, professional information wasn’t readily available, and due to the existence of Sacred Positions, it would be even more tightly guarded.

“We’ve been talking about these trivial matters.” Wan Chen shook his head and said, “Right now, Lan Hao definitely can’t do anything to you, but it’s hard to say after returning to the sect. If you encounter any trouble then, you can ask for my help.”

Su Chen had no foundation whatsoever. Even if he was taken as a disciple by Qing Cang and entered the sect, he probably wouldn’t have the strength to contend with the Lan family.

“Thank you.” Su Chen thanked him first, then probed for information about the sect. Wan Chen didn’t conceal some general information, but when it came to higher-ups, he was evasive.

At the same time, Lan Hao, who had already returned to his room, had a face as black as a pot. Standing by the window, he watched the rapidly swirling misty air outside and coldly spat out two words: “Wan Chen!”

Wan Chen’s strength was as he had expected, yet it also exceeded his expectations; he had suffered a complete defeat.

“And Su Chen—” At the mention of this name, Lan Hao’s expression grew even uglier.

While being defeated by Wan Chen was embarrassing, it was still within his expectations. However, being toyed with by someone like Su Chen, whom even the Royal Court didn’t fully understand, made him feel even more humiliated.

“I’ll settle this score slowly back at the sect.” Lan Hao snorted coldly, temporarily setting the matter aside.

Qing Cang intended to take this person as a disciple, so there was definitely nothing he could do for now. But after returning to the sect, it would be different; Qing Cang had more than just this one disciple.

“What’s more important now is Wan Chen. Not to mention whether he has a chance to become the Chosen One, just my competition with him leaves no hope. Since things have come to this, there’s only one way.”

He seemed to have made up his mind. He reached out and retrieved four black metal cubes from thin air, placing them at the four corners around his body.

The moment his mental fluctuations touched them, the black cubes began to tremble incessantly, with golden symbols appearing on their surfaces.

Immediately, the core of the metal blocks opened layer by layer, revealing their mechanical structure. Metal supports extended from the four corners, interlinking to form a cubic frame, from which a transparent energy membrane emerged, enveloping him completely.

Exhaling, Lan Hao closed his eyes, feeling the scene before him change in layers. Greyish-white mist blurred, and a cold, damp sensation gradually swallowed him, quickly immersing him in the Nether Realm.

But what appeared before him was not a desolate wilderness, but a narrow little room.

He moved about slightly, seemingly accustomed to it, and walked to a black table in the center of the room, pressing the red button on it.

After a short wait, another blurry figure also appeared, but it was not as clear as he was, with a very indistinct face.

Moreover, it sometimes dispersed and sometimes solidified, as if it could break at any moment.

“Lan Hao… it seems you have made your choice.” The blurry figure spoke, its voice crackling and intermittent, “Tell me, why did Qing Cang secretly leave the Bronze Sect?”

Lan Hao said in a deep voice, “The Morning Star Rank professional, Great Venerable Scarlet Flame and Thunder, is here. If you act too slowly, you won’t even get a drop of the broth.”

“Great Venerable Scarlet Flame and Thunder!”

The opponent’s voice suddenly rose, “It’s for this profession, no wonder.”

But then, the figure laughed out loud: “Your father is truly far-sighted, making you report the coordinates from time to time, just to keep us trailing at a constant distance.”

“He must want to see if you have any hope of becoming the Chosen One of the Morning Star. If there’s no hope, then he’ll tell us.”

Hearing this, Lan Hao’s face became even uglier, and he coldly said, “It seems the Royal Court no longer needs this Morning Star profession.”

“Don’t be angry.” The other party soothed, “The Morning Star’s spirituality is cunning, not something an ordinary person can satisfy. Don’t worry, once we obtain it, we’ll help you gain recognition.”

Although Lan Hao was greedy, he would not easily trust the other party, merely sneering: “The price will be discussed by my father. I’ll give you the coordinates now. If you can’t make it yourselves, don’t blame me.”

“Additionally, the Ancient King seems to have a fragmented consciousness accompanying him.”

As the words fell, Lan Hao’s figure disappeared from here, leaving only the blurry figure murmuring, “Morning Star rank, the Eternal Silent Stellar of the Bronze Sect, I’m afraid it won’t last much longer. Bronze Ancient King—”

“The Bronze Sect—” Su Chen was already back in his room, murmuring. Through Wan Chen, he had gained a concrete impression of the Bronze Sect.

Within the Bronze Sect, the Ancient King was revered, ruling over thirty-seven life-bearing planets, with countless professionals under his command, led by the Ancient King’s disciples. Its internal structure was vast and complex.

One of its main core mechanisms was the “Sacred Hall,” where top professionals served as instructors, cultivating talented individuals with potential from both within and outside the sect. Qing Cang was one such instructor.

That’s why Wan Chen and others referred to him as Teacher Qing.

And among those coveted by Wan Chen and the other two, the Morning Star rank Chosen Ones, there were already two in the Sacred Hall.

Within the sect, there were also two living Morning Star rank professionals.

Su Chen was truly surprised upon learning this news.

But on second thought, he realized it was perfectly reasonable; this number was extremely rare compared to the vast number of professionals.
