My Professions Have Too Much Personality

Chapter 367 - 217: Why Is Everyone So Concerned With Me?

"So, it was a Tier Five fighting a Tier Four..."

After a long silence, Wan Chen got to his feet.

The injuries he’d sustained while suppressing his Life Tier wouldn’t heal quickly, even after returning to Tier Five. His whole body still ached, his chest in particular. He had likely broken a few ribs.

He glanced at Lan Hao. The man still hadn’t calmed down, his face a mask of shock. He looked like he had a thousand questions, a thousand things he wanted to say, but couldn’t utter a word.

Shaking his head, he issued another command, pulling up Lin Yue’s previous battle records.

Sure enough, in the beginning, Lin Yue had also been completely dominated under the fair combat mode.

Even later, when she entered her Professional Fusion state and used all her trump cards right from the start, she could only last for a few exchanges at best.

The most recent combat recording he had initially pulled up was actually from after Lin Yue had suffered several crushing defeats. It was a record of her abandoning the fair combat mode and trying to fight at her full Tier Five strength instead.

And since he hadn’t examined it closely, a subtle misunderstanding had occurred.

’His speed is too fast, his burst damage is incredibly high, and he’s also in a Professional Fusion state. Just how many special combat-related professions does he have...’

He watched the blurry combat footage, speculating based on his own recent experience.

The training projection’s combat style wasn’t fixed. It could only formulate an optimal battle strategy as it accumulated more combat data.

For instance, when the training projection first fought Lin Yue, it only utilized its speed.

Only later did it assemble the simplest, most direct form of attack—just like the one he had just faced.

’If I don’t go all out from the very beginning, his terrifying speed will leave me completely helpless.’

The reason he’d been defeated in an instant was partly because he had underestimated his opponent.

Wan Chen estimated privately. If they both went all out, could he last for ten exchanges? That was already his most optimistic prediction.

"No wonder..." After watching to the end, Wan Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. ’The Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator’s Spiritual intuition really didn’t pick the wrong person.’

"He has secrets. He shouldn’t be this strong." Lan Hao had drifted over at some point, his emotions in turmoil. He couldn’t help but speak.

"Isn’t that obvious?" Wan Chen sighed, his expression complicated. "Everyone thought his compatibility was just unbelievably high. Now it seems even the Ancient King likely never imagined his combat prowess could reach this level."

"The Dust Star Sea has no record of anyone becoming the chosen of a Morning Star Tier based on compatibility alone. How could such an exception suddenly appear on a Desolate Planet?"

"We should have known. He had to have some other outstanding quality."

Wan Chen sighed again and again. Right now, Su Chen’s only shortcoming was his Dual Ink Jade Talent. But something like a Talent... there were actually ways to improve it.

"No wonder Lin Yue’s attitude changed..." Wan Chen said softly. "At the end of the day, strength is the only thing that matters."

He’d had a good impression of Su Chen, but after Su Chen became the chosen one, he couldn’t help but feel unconvinced, believing him to be unworthy of the position.

But now, he was more than convinced.

Sensing the complex emotions swirling within Wan Chen, Lan Hao’s admiration for his father grew even deeper.

"This matter..." Lan Hao began hesitantly. He wasn’t as quick-witted as Wan Chen; he, for one, would never have thought of a method like asking Xia Jie to restore the data.

So now they had this information. What next?

"We’ll wait and see," Wan Chen said indifferently, glancing at him.

If Su Chen’s strength were exposed, the tides within the Sect would instantly turn.

At the very least, the vast majority of those who were in the dark would no longer come forward to claim he was unworthy of his position.

Without a general consensus against him, targeting Su Chen would become far more difficult. After all, the Ancient King’s protection was no joke.

"Wait and see? See what?" Lan Hao asked, bewildered. But Wan Chen clearly had no intention of explaining further and walked out, looking crestfallen.

He just couldn’t wrap his head around how such a monster could suddenly appear from a Desolate Planet in the middle of the Nether Fog.

......

’The blood of a Deceitful God ignites the Morning Fire... I wonder how much blood I’ll need to forge a Holy Profession.’

’With my current strength, there’s no way I can hunt a Deceitful God. I’ll have to see if the Sect has any in stock. If not, worst-case scenario, I’ll disguise myself as one of their Believers and trick a few Deceitful Gods into giving me some...’

Su Chen had just returned to his room when he glanced at the kaleidoscopic streams of light outside his window.

This so-called Teleportation Route was essentially a shortcut between two coordinates. After years of technological refinement, travel within it was considered relatively safe.

Even if a Star Gate at either end of the route were to close, it wouldn’t cause any major issues.

’I can’t contact the outside world while we’re in the Teleportation Route. All I can do is wait. Nothing will probably happen.’ Su Chen locked the door from the inside and set the indicator light outside to "Do Not Disturb."

He took the sap of the Immortal Ancient Tree from his Storage Space. Just as he was about to apply it, a panel suddenly popped up—

[Your training projection has crushed the acknowledged individual, Wan Chen, while he was suppressing his Life Tier. Having earned his respect, the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator is pleased. The +100% Professional development efficiency buff has been extended by three months.]

Su Chen froze, his expression turning dumbfounded. ’What the hell?’

’What’s this about my training projection again?’

Su Chen’s brow furrowed. After Lin Yue had accessed it last time, he had forbidden anyone else from accessing his training projection.

’How did someone access it again?’

Although his Double Experience Card had been extended for another three months, he didn’t like these kinds of surprises. It meant someone was still paying close attention to him.

"Wan Chen, what are you getting mixed up in this for..." Su Chen muttered in frustration. He had no choice but to put the sap away again and head out the door.
