Chapter 94 Star-Tier! Blazing Thunder Overlord!

    The deciphering of the Holy Word Stone seems to have been specifically prepared for me.

    “The Translation Department is full of old scholars, and they have an astonishingly wide network. If you want them to do something, sometimes you have to rely on their impression of you.” Old Xia’s voice was cold, as if he had suffered a loss in this matter and didn’t want to talk about it further. He then said:

    “If these professions are perfectly taken up, they can greatly enhance talent. However, almost no one can achieve this. Forcibly taking up a profession, though not as effective, is still considered having taken up a profession.”

    At this point, he could feel Xia Hanshi somewhat excited, “But the Translation Department will definitely ignore you. I’ll go back and make a trip to the Translation Department to find a way to get you a Saint.”

    “You’ve worked hard,” Su Chen couldn’t help but say.

    Xia Hanshi composed himself and admonished again, “Someone will meet you once you arrive at Ying Feng.”

    “You went early this time, there’s still some time before the trial assessment. Before that, you are not a member of the Tribunal, so you must act carefully.”

    Perhaps feeling that this was overly cautious, Xia Hanshi added, “But if anyone bullies you, there’s no need to be afraid.”

    “Yes.” Su Chen nodded, sensing the concern in Xia Hanshi’s tone.

    After seeing Old Xia off, the gangway gradually closed, and the spacecraft set sail again.

    ………

    “Translation Department…”

    Su Chen stopped, there was no gravity room, so the efficiency of Body Forging Method decreased significantly, but the Meditation Method was still operating at high speed.

    He trained until his head was dizzy before resting, recalling Old Xia’s words.

    He had a panel. Those Holy Word Stones, he could know the profession information just by looking at them. This was definitely more powerful than all the Translation Masters combined.

    “For my panel, the more professions I acquire, the better. The more professions, the higher the chance of triggering those unique emotional responses.”

    “Even if it can’t be triggered, if there’s any unexpected situation, it can still help, like the time with the Heituo Cultists.”

    He pondered, this Translation Department seemed very suitable for him.

    “However, the ability to scan for professions at a glance must not be exposed. I still need to proceed slowly.”

    The environment on the spacecraft was relatively safe, so Su Chen meditated thoroughly and soon fell into a deep sleep.

    ………

    After leaving the ruins, the rest of the journey was uneventful. Su Chen’s potions were continuously consumed, and it took him more than half a month to finally approach Ying Feng.

    The day before arriving at Ying Feng,

    In the room, Su Chen grit his teeth, bloodsucking cuts the length of a finger occasionally appeared on his skin, yet strangely no blood flowed out.

    And then they healed quickly, repeating this cycle until no more wounds appeared.

    [Gale Body Forging Technique has reached Master level, gaining ability – Gale Resilience: Increases body defense.]

    The Gale Body Forging Technique has reached the Master level, and the power of flowing wind subtly courses beneath the skin. The entire body not only feels lighter but also more resilient.

    [Wind Lightning Envoy: 40%]

    [Mystic Mind Master: 38%]

    [E-grade Void Star Meditation Technique—Proficient: 70%]

    Because there was no gravity room on the spacecraft, and his mental talent was slightly higher than his physical one, the development progress of the Mystic Mind Master gradually caught up.

    “It’s time to change to another body tempering technique…” Su Chen took a stack of materials from his storage space. It was the body tempering technique that Yuan Chenyang had retrieved for him before leaving—[Thunder Splendor Body Tempering Technique].

    It stimulates muscle fibers electromagnetically, enhancing strength and endurance, and guides electromagnetic energy to penetrate the muscles. Each cycle feels like an electric shock.

    This body tempering technique is not compatible with [Wild Hunt], so it requires additional conditions to induce electricity.

    If one’s own profession cannot activate it, one can only rely on external electricity.

    There are only so many body tempering techniques in Nanfeng City, and it’s impossible to cover all bases, so there’s no choice.

    Fortunately, his Wild Hunt has already evolved, and he can also induce lightning himself.

    He tentatively struck a pose, following the guidance, and stirred the elemental power hidden in his cells.

    Crackling!

    Electric arcs emerged from his skin, and Su Chen felt an instant tingling sensation spread throughout his body, making him shiver.

    It took a long time for him to gradually get used to this stimulation, and he fell into a deep sleep when he was exhausted from training.

    Early the next morning, Su Chen heard a bustling sound in the corridor, with continuous footsteps and excited shouts.

    “…Can we see Ying Feng now?”

    “Excuse me, let me see…”

    “…Is that Ying Feng? It’s so magnificent…”

    Ying Feng controls over 124 cities similar to Nanfeng.

    The main rulers among them have all lived in Ying Feng, so they naturally highly recommend it.

    Under the influence of what they hear and see, their subordinates and descendants naturally yearn for Ying Feng.

    “Finally here…” Su Chen heard the commotion, rubbing his stiff cheeks. He had been shocked by electricity for most of yesterday and still felt a tingling sensation in his body.

    After washing his face, Su Chen went out to the public lounge. People were already crowding the portholes.

    Exclamations rose and fell. Some of the more mature individuals, while able to suppress their outward reactions, revealed their inner agitation through their flushed faces.

    Zhang Hengyu was among them, his eyes wide, his head almost sticking out of the porthole.

    “Old Su, over here…” Du Yu had learned Su Chen’s special way of addressing him, and was standing by the porthole, excitedly calling out to him: “I saved you a spot.”

    The few people nearby, seeing this, consciously squeezed aside.

    “Ying Feng…” Su Chen couldn’t help but be piqued with curiosity, wanting to see this magnificent city with a population of over a hundred million. He glanced out the window.

    In the misty haze, a majestic metal city appeared, surrounded by undulating terrain, with a vast plain nestled among rolling mountains.

    Su Chen’s gaze first focused on the five “Qiongguang” in the sky, clustered around the central, massive artificial sun.

    Compared to Nanfeng, the artificial light system here is much more advanced, with each component performing its function and together creating a light source that closely mimics natural light.

    The time should be late afternoon, and the artificial sun revealed a sunset red, vaguely showing that the city was also draped in a layer of red gauze.

    Even in his previous life, he wouldn’t see such a beautiful “sunset” every day.

    “I heard that Ying Feng’s artificial light source also moves with time, I don’t know why,” someone said.

    Equally eye-catching were the giant metal arc rings encircling the city, semi-circular in shape, numbering nine, arranged in intricate geometric patterns, with dark golden energy currents winding over their surfaces, presenting a stunning aesthetic.

    “It’s truly magnificent. No matter how many times you look at pictures or hear descriptions, it’s nothing compared to seeing it with your own eyes,” Du Yu exclaimed repeatedly. “Three years as an outer court soldier, a lifetime of Ying Feng affection.”

    “My dad only stayed here for a few years, but he’s been talking about it for over ten years.”

    Seeing no response from the side, Du Yu couldn’t help but look at Su Chen, only to see his eyes unfocused, a very strange expression on his face.

    It didn’t look like excitement, nor did it look like shock, but a yearning, an extreme yearning, even like… like…

    Greed!

    Du Yu was startled himself, wondering what Su Chen was thinking, to have such an expression on his face. “…Where exactly is it recorded?” Su Chen thought to himself in amazement, staring blankly at the suddenly popping up panel.

    [Discovered Star-Tier profession—Blazing Thunder Overlord, can be taken upon fulfilling the profession conditions.]

    [Profession condition one: Must have Xuanzi talent.]

    [???]

    An unprecedented Star-Tier profession, Su Chen had never even heard of it.

    The amount of information contained within was too great!

    “Star-Tier? A level above the numbered tiers?” Su Chen secretly speculated, his heart pounding, “Xuanzi, even above the Mo Cui talent, I wonder how much higher…”

    “Blazing Thunder Overlord… that name is too cool, is it related to the Scarlet Thunder Star?” Su Chen’s mind was highly active, various thoughts continuously emerging.

    “Where is it recorded exactly?” His face was almost pressed against the porthole, intently staring at Ying Feng City.

    Although his panel was powerful, it still needed certain text or information to reveal a profession. Just seeing a city wouldn’t reveal anything.

    “…Are those arc rings?”

    Su Chen narrowed his eyes, staring for a long time, and finally found a clue: on those metallic semicircles, peculiar symbols were sparsely engraved.

    They were extremely dispersed, and only when they rotated to a certain point would they, as if set, form a straight line of text.

    “So that’s how it is…” Su Chen murmured. A Star-Tier profession, without a doubt, would be unbelievably high-level.

    Unlike others who wouldn’t benefit from knowing the profession information, he had a profession panel. As long as it was entered, he would gain something.

    For a profession of this tier, even a slight emotional reaction, the rewards revealed through the cracks would be enough for him.

    If he could take up the profession in advance, or even temporarily… even just a peek would be worth it.

    “It wasn’t in vain to come this trip.” Su Chen collected his emotions, suppressing the surging excitement.

    The metal ring only recorded one job requirement, and he stared at it for a long time, but the panel showed no further reaction.

    “What a pity…” he thought greedily. The more complete the professional information revealed, the higher the chance of triggering emotional responses.

    “A profession of this caliber, I wonder how many job requirements it has, tsk tsk…” Su Chen weighed in his mind, “This first Xuanzi talent is already shocking enough. This level, I’ve never even heard of it.”

    “Since this job requirement is engraved on the metal ring, there might be more in Ying Feng City…” Su Chen couldn’t help but think, and the desire to go to Ying Feng became stronger than ever.

    “Others can’t decipher it, but I can!”

    “Old Su, Brother Su, Grandpappy Su, are you alright?” Du Yu, his heart pounding, watched Su Chen’s changing expression and asked cautiously.

    “Nothing…” Su Chen came back to his senses, exhaling a breath and exclaiming, “As expected of Ying Feng, it’s truly a magnificent city.”

    You old man, you don’t look impressed, you look like you want to gobble up Ying Feng.

    Du Yu secretly complained, while the others continued to chat excitedly, not realizing Su Chen’s presence.

    “Everyone, Ying Feng is almost here, we will dock at the public shipyard…”

    Gu Bing has arrived and is explaining the precautions for when they land.

    Su Chen listened distractedly, his gaze frequently passing through the porthole, looking towards Ying Feng.

    Star-Tier, Blazing Thunder Overlord!

    ………

    Ying Feng was already in sight, and as the spacecraft slowed down and drew closer, everyone felt even more minuscule.

    Spaceships flew in from all directions, and there were quite a few of them. Below, lines of chariots stretched into the endless mist.

    “Even with the mist isolating everything and internal dangers lurking, a unique living system has still formed,” Su Chen observed everything, unable to help but feel emotional.

    Their spacecraft waited outside for a while, seemingly verifying their identities, and then bypassed a line of other spacecraft, heading directly into Ying Feng.

    It docked at an open-air spacecraft dock located at the edge of the city.

    “Wait, don’t get off the ship…”

    Gu Bing saw many people gathered at the gangway and couldn’t help but shout, “You’ll need to have your identity registered later, otherwise you’ll be arrested by the Supervisory Guards.”

    Many people still didn’t move, looking at the crowd gathered at the gangway, and couldn’t help but let out a “heh heh” laugh.

    The people gathered at the gangway couldn’t help but blush. They were all outstanding students from Southwind Academy, but most of them had ordinary backgrounds.

    Although they had a rough understanding of Ying Feng on the spacecraft, they didn’t know these specific details.

    Buzz—

    The gangway buzzed, and staff members were already waiting outside, wearing khaki uniforms—from the Population Management Bureau.

    Gu Bing went to connect, and the other party, who had been somewhat indifferent, immediately became serious after noticing a certain徽章 handed over by Gu Bing, and quickly called their colleagues to step forward.

    “Everyone from Southwind City, please wait a moment. We are currently importing data and generating your identification codes…”

    They accessed the spacecraft’s database, verified the official Southwind City key, and took over the files of these individuals.

    “This is your identity card, please keep it safe, especially the code on it, remember it well.”

    A transparent magnetic card was spat out of the machine next to the staff member and handed to Su Chen.

    Su Chen took it, briefly examined it, and then tucked it into his pocket.

    “This is still a simplified process, probably because of the Tribunal’s endorsement. My dad said that when they came back then, they were inspected three or four times, inside and out…” Du Yu carefully put away his magnetic card.

    “Judge Wang!” Gu Bing suddenly called out from outside the spacecraft. A neat clatter of footsteps sounded, and everyone couldn’t help but look over, holding their breath.

    It was a team of black-armored judges, each two meters tall, with the leader being even more burly, like a small mountain.

    “Where is the item?” the other party’s voice was muffled.

    “Follow me.” Gu Bing led the other party in, and everyone instinctively made way, watching them head into the depths of the spacecraft.

    Are they here to escort the Heituo Statue?

    Su Chen speculated, and sure enough, not long after, the group of judges emerged carrying a metal box.

    Suddenly, everyone stopped talking, and the burly man at the head swept his gaze left and right, his voice low: “Which one of you is Su Chen?”

    Su Chen?

    No one spoke, but everyone’s instinctive gaze still revealed Su Chen’s location.

    “You are Su Chen?” The burly man swept his gaze over, his eyes filled with scrutiny and inquiry.

    Su Chen frowned slightly, I haven’t even arrived at Ying Feng yet, and my name has already arrived?

    “Judge Wang?” Gu Bing walked over and stood in front of Su Chen, “This Heituo Statue was confiscated by Judge Xia. It’s best to send it back as soon as possible to avoid any accidents on the way.”

    “Old Xia…”

    Upon hearing this address, the burly man’s face twitched, and he turned and left.
