Deciphering Saint Word Stones seems as though it were specially prepared for .
"The Class Decoding Departnt is full of old scholars with terrifyingly vast networks. If you want to ask them to handle a matter, there are tis when it still depends on whether they find you pleasing to the eye." Old Xia's voice was cold. It seed he had suffered a loss regarding this matter, and unwilling to discuss it deeply, he shifted the topic:
"If these professions are Advanced Perfectly, the magnitude of the talent increase is astonishing. But almost nobody is capable of achieving that. Although a Forced Advancent doesn't yield a large increase, it can still at least be considered an advancent."
Speaking up to this point, he could feel that Xia Hanshi was faintly sowhat excited, "However, the Class Decoding Departnt definitely won't pay attention to you. Wait until I return and make a trip to the Class Decoding Departnt; I'll figure out a way to procure the Saint for you."
"Thank you for your hard work," Su Chen couldn't help but say.
Restraining his emotions, Xia Hanshi further instructed, "Once you arrive at Yingfeng, there will be soone to receive you."
"You all are heading there early this ti. There is still a period of ti until the Adjudication Court assessnt. Prior to that, you are not a mber of the Adjudication Court, so you must act carefully."
Perhaps feeling that these words were a bit too cautious, Xia Hanshi added: "But if others bully their way over your head, there is no need to be afraid either."
"Understood." Su Chen nodded, able to sense the concern in Xia Hanshi's tone.
Seeing Old Xia off, the gangway gradually closed, and the spaceship set sail once again.
.........
"The Class Decoding Departnt..."
Su Chen withdrew his stance. Without a Gravity Room, the efficiency of his body forging thod had declined quite a bit, but his ditation thod continued to operate at high speed.
He trained until his head spun before finally taking a rest, inevitably recalling Old Xia's words.
He had his panel. By just taking a glance at those so-called Saint Word Stones, he could imdiately learn their professional information. He was definitely far more formidable than all the Class Decoders added together.
"For my panel, naturally, the more professions I obtain, the better. The more professions there are, the higher the probability of triggering that unique emotionalization."
"Even if it can't be triggered, in the event of any unforeseen accidents, it can still lend a helping hand, just like that ti with the Believer of Black Buddha."
He calculated inwardly; this Class Decoding Departnt seed extrely well-suited for him.
"However, this sort of ability to scan out a profession with a single glance absolutely cannot be exposed. I still must map it out slowly and steadily."
The environnt aboard the ship was still considered safe. Su Chen ditated extrely thoroughly, and it wasn't long before he fell into a deep slumber.
.........
After departing from the Ruins, the subsequent voyage remained uneventful halfway through. Su Chen's potions were continuously consud, and only after a full half a month did they finally approach Yingfeng.
On the day before their imminent arrival at Yingfeng,
In his room, Su Chen's jaws were clenched tightly. From ti to ti, bloody slits the length of a finger would tear open on the surface of his skin, yet bizarrely, no fresh blood flowed out whatsoever.
Moreover, they quickly closed back up, cycling continuously around and around until wounds completely ceased to erge.
【The Fierce Wind Body Forging thod has reached Master Level. Obtained ability—Fierce Wind Resilience: Improves the body's defensive capabilities.】
With the Fierce Wind Body Forging thod having reached the Master Level, the power of flowing wind faintly circulated beneath his skin. Not only had his entire person grown much lighter, but his skin had also beco much tougher.
【Wind and Thunder Adept: 40%】
【Psionic Adept: 38%】
【E-grade Illusory Star ditation thod — Proficient: 70%】
Because there was no Gravity Room on the spaceship, and his ntal talent was slightly higher than his physical body, the developntal progress of the Psionic Adept had also gradually caught up.
"I need to switch to a different body forging thod..." Su Chen retrieved a stack of data from his Storage Space. It was precisely the body forging thod Yuan Chenyang had pulled up for him prior to leaving—【Thunder Brilliance Body Forging thod】.
By ans of stimulating the muscle fibers through electromagnetism to augnt strength and endurance, guiding electromagnetic energy to perate the muscles, every single circulation felt like being electrocuted.
This body forging thod was not compatible with the 【Gale Hunter】, so an additional condition was required: catalyzing electricity.
If one's own profession couldn't catalyze it, they could only rely on external electricity.
The total number of body forging thods in Nanfeng City was only that many; there was no way to cover every single aspect flawlessly, leaving no room to be picky.
Fortunately, his Gale Hunter had already tamorphosed, allowing his own body to similarly catalyze lightning.
Laying out his stance tentatively, he followed the guide, provoking the elental power hidden within his cells.
Crackle!
Electrical arcs popped along the surface of his skin. Su Chen only felt a numb and tingly sensation instantly spread across his entire body, causing his whole person to shiver.
It took him a long while before he gradually grew accustod to this stimulation. Training until he was entirely exhausted, it was only then that he fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Su Chen heard the bustling noise in the corridor. Footsteps rang incessantly, and suppressed shouts of excitent could also be heard.
"...Can you see Yingfeng yet?"
"Step aside, quickly let take a look..."
"...Is that Yingfeng? It's so fucking majestic..."
Yingfeng governed one hundred and twenty-four or twenty-five cities similar to Nanfeng.
The primary rulers among them had all previously lived in Yingfeng, naturally holding it in the utmost esteem.
Being constantly exposed to and influenced by this, the subordinates under them and their own descendants naturally held an incomparable yearning for Yingfeng.
"We're finally here..." Hearing the commotion, Su Chen rubbed his slightly stiff cheeks. Having been electrocuted for the greater half of yesterday, his body still felt numb and tingly.
After washing his face, Su Chen stepped out and arrived at the public recreation area. The portholes on both sides were already packed full of people pressing against them.
Exclamations of shock rose one after another. Although so guys with relatively mature intellects were capable of suppressing their external reactions, their sowhat flushed faces inevitably exposed their lack of tranquility at this mont.
Zhang Hengyu was among them, his eyes wide open, his head practically wanting to stick out of the porthole window.
"Old Su, over here..." having learned Su Chen's special mode of address, Du Yu was currently standing beside the porthole, calling out to him in excitent: "I saved a spot for you."
Seeing this, the few people beside him consciously squeezed away to the side.
"Yingfeng..." Inevitably, Su Chen's curiosity was also piqued, wishing to see this magnificent giant city capable of carrying a population of over a hundred million. Arriving by the window, he swept his eyes over it.
Amidst the hazy fog, a magnificent giant tal city was currently being revealed. The surrounding terrain undulated continuously, and amidst the nurous mountain peaks, there just so happened to be a massive expanse of plains.
Su Chen's gaze first concentrated on the five "Vault Lights" in the firmant, clustered around the most massive central artificial sun.
Compared to Nanfeng, the artificial light source system here was profoundly more advanced. With their respective divisions of labor, they jointly outlined a light source that nearly approximated nature.
The ti right now should be mid-afternoon. The artificial sun revealed a shade of sunset red, and one could faintly see a layer of red gauze draped over the city as well.
Even in his past life, it wasn't every day that one could see a "sunset" this glorious.
"I heard that Yingfeng's artificial light source even moves alongside the passage of ti; who knows why," soone couldn't help but say.
Equally eye-catching were the massive tal arc rings encircling the exterior of the city, taking a semi-circular shape. There were a full nine paths, nested and arranged at precise geotric angles. Dark golden energy currents andered and wandered across their surfaces, presenting an astonishing aesthetic beauty.
"It truly is magnificent. No matter how many tis you look at pictures or listen to accounts, it's never as good as seeing it with your own eyes." Beside him, Du Yu repeatedly sighed with emotion. "Three years as a soldier in the Outer Court; a lifeti of affection for Yingfeng."
"My dad only stayed here for a few years, yet he kept chattering to about it for over a decade solid."
Seeing no response from beside him, Du Yu couldn't help but look at Su Chen. However, he saw that the other party's eyes were dilated and unfocused, displaying an extrely bizarre look on his face.
To call it excitent didn't quite look it, and to call it shock didn't quite fit either. Rather, it was a yearning, an extre sort of yearning, even looking like... like...
Greed!
Du Yu himself was startled, having no idea what exactly Su Chen was thinking to actually reveal this sort of expression on his face.
"...Where exactly is it recorded?" Su Chen found it bizarre and unthinkable in his heart, staring blankly at the panel that abruptly popped up.
【Discovered Morning Star Tier Profession—Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted. Can be Advanced after fulfilling the advancent conditions.】
【Advancent Condition One: You possess the Profound Purple talent.】
【???】
An unprecedented Morning Star Tier profession—Su Chen hadn't even heard of it before.
The sheer volu of information contained within it was just far too enormous!
"Morning Star Tier? A level above the numbered tiers?" Su Chen speculated inwardly, his heart pounding erratically. "Profound Purple; it's still entirely above the Ink Jade talent..."
"Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted... This na is way too cool. Is it related to Crimson Thunder Planet?" Su Chen's mind was highly active, with all sorts of thoughts erging incessantly.
"Where exactly is it recorded?" His face was practically pressed against the porthole, completely scrutinizing Yingfeng City.
Although his panel was powerful, it still at least required so text or information to unveil a profession. Simply catching sight of a city definitely wouldn't reveal it.
"...Is it those arc rings?"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, staring for a long ti. Eventually, he found so slight clues: upon those tal semi-circular rings, peculiar symbols were sparsely engraved one by one.
They were extrely scattered; only when rotating to a certain specific mont would they turn into a straight line of text, as if it had been pre-programd.
"So that's how it is..." Su Chen mumbled. There was no need to think to know that a Morning Star Tier profession would surely be high to the point of not being able to soar any higher.
Unlike other people for whom knowing professional information was useless, he possessed the professional panel. As long as it was recorded into it, it would be considered a harvest.
For a profession of this tier, even triggering the slightest emotionalized reaction and catching what leaked through the cracks of its fingers would be plenty enough for him to feed on.
In the event that it allowed him to advance ahead of ti, or temporarily advance... even if it was just flipping over its underwear for a single glance, he would still break even.
"This trip truly wasn't made in vain." Su Chen restrained his feelings, suppressing his turbulent emotions.
Extrely singular to note, only one sort of advancent condition was recorded on the tal circular rings. He stared for a long ti again, but the panel exhibited no further reactions.
"What a pity..." He thought greedily, the more complete the professional information revealed, the higher the odds of triggering an emotionalization.
"For a profession of this caliber, who knows how many advancent requirents there are. Tsk, tsk..." Su Chen deliberated inwardly, "This first one regarding the Profound Purple talent is already terrifying enough. Such a talent rating... I've never even heard of it."
"Since this specific advancent requirent is engraved upon the tal circular rings, Yingfeng City might perhaps hold even more..." Inevitably, the thought of heading to Yingfeng burned more strongly and unprecedentedly within Su Chen than ever before.
"Other people can't decipher it, but I can!"
"Old Su, Brother Su, Uncle Su, you're fine, right?" Beside him, Du Yu was trembling in fear, carefully asking as he observed the changes in Su Chen's bearing.
"I'm fine..." Snapping back from his daze, Su Chen breathed out a sigh of praise: "As expected of Yingfeng. It truly is a towering giant city."
The look on you, old man, didn't seem as though you were shocked. Instead, it looked like you were itching to devour Yingfeng.
Du Yu silently roasted him in his heart. The crowd continued their excited conversation, remaining entirely oblivious to Su Chen.
"Everyone, we're about to arrive at Yingfeng. We will dock at a public spaceship dock..."
Gu Bing had already arrived, relaying the matters to take note of following the subsequent landing.
Su Chen listened absentmindedly, his gaze frequently looking through the porthole window toward Yingfeng.
Morning Star Tier, Crimson Fla Responding Thunder Great Exalted!
.........
Yingfeng was already hovering right before their eyes. The spaceship decelerated, and upon drawing even nearer, the crowd felt their minuscule nature even more strongly.
The number of spaceships flying in from all directions could not be considered small. Below, convoys of combat vehicles were also arranged seamlessly, stretching and plunging into the end of the fog.
"Even though the fog isolates everything and there are many dangers hidden within its interior, a unique living system has ultimately been ford regardless." Watching all of this unfold, Su Chen involuntarily sighed with emotion.
Their spaceship waited outside for a while, seeming to undergo an identity check. Then, it bypassed a queue of spaceships and directly entered Yingfeng.
It docked in an open-air spaceship dock located at a corner of the city.
"Hold on, no one disembark the ship..."
Seeing quite a few people gathering at the gangway area, Gu Bing couldn't help but shout, "Later, your identities will still have to be recorded. Otherwise, you'll be arrested by the supervision guards."
There were quite a few others who hadn't budged. Looking at the group bundled at the gangway, they couldn't assist uttering laughs of 'Hehe'.
The faces of the people gathered at the gangway inadvertently reddened sowhat. They were all standouts from Nanfeng Academy, but their backgrounds were mostly ordinary.
Even though they had obtained a rough understanding of Yingfeng onboard the spaceship, they remained unaware of details like this.
Buzz—
The gangway buzzed. Staff mbers were already waiting outside, wearing earthen-yellow uniforms—the Population Managent Bureau.
Gu Bing walked up to coordinate. The other party's initially sowhat casual expression instantly turned solemn upon catching sight of a certain emblem handed over by Gu Bing. Hurriedly, they rallied their colleagues to step forward together.
"Everyone from Nanfeng City, please wait a mont. The data is currently being imported, and your identity recognition codes are being generated..."
They jacked into the spaceship's database, verified the official secret key belonging to Nanfeng, and adopted the files of these people.
"Here is your personal identity card. Please take good care of it. In particular, the code upon it—commit it to mory at all costs."
A transparent magnetic card spat out from the machine beside the staff mber and was handed to Su Chen.
Taking it, Su Chen sized it up briefly before stuffing it into his chest pocket.
"This is already a simplified process, likely due to the endorsent of the Adjudication Court. According to my dad, when they ca all those years back, they were inspected inside and out a solid three to four tis..." Receiving that magnetic card belonging to himself, Du Yu carefully tucked it away.
"Judge Wang!" Gu Bing abruptly shouted from outside the spaceship. Synchronized rhythmic footsteps echoed, and the crowd couldn't avoid looking over, holding their breaths with rapt attention.
It was a squad of inquisitors clad in black armor. Each of them was two ters tall, and the leader was even more burly, appearing like a miniature mountain.
"Where is the item?" the other party asked in a muffled voice.
"Follow ," Gu Bing led the other party inside. The crowd subconsciously made way, watching the other party proceed toward the depths of the spaceship.
Are they here to transport the statue of Black Buddha under ard escort?
Su Chen speculated. Sure enough, it wasn't long before this group of inquisitors walked out shouldering the tal box.
Suddenly, the murmurs of discussion from the crowd paused abruptly. That burly behemoth leading the squad swept his gaze left and right, his voice deep: "Among the lot of you, who is Su Chen?"
Su Chen?
No one spoke a word, but the subconscious gazes of the crowd still ultimately conveyed Su Chen's position.
"You're Su Chen?" The burly behemoth swept his eyes over, his gaze carrying the nuances of sizing him up and scrutinization.
Su Chen frowned slightly. I haven't even arrived in Yingfeng yet, but my na arrived first?
"Judge Wang?" Gu Bing walked over, standing and blocking in front of Su Chen. "This statue of Black Buddha is the spoil harvested by Chief Inquisitor Xia. It's best if it's sent back away as fast as possible. Don't let any accidents occur on the way."
"Elder Xia..."
Hearing this form of address, the burly behemoth's cheeks spasd involuntarily. Turning around, he imdiately left.
