Chapter 519 - 290: Vajra Venerable
Upon hearing this, Qin Guang took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and let out a low growl, forcing out the words one by one: "..."
[Special Profession Discovered—Vajra Warrior. The profession can be obtained by meeting the following requirements.]
[Requirement One: Possess three Physical Side professions, at least two of which must be Top-tier Professions.]
[Requirement Two: Persist in five hours of Immovable Stance Training daily for three months.]
[Requirement Three: Strike the meridians all over your body one hundred times with a weapon of a Tier no lower than your own.]
The initial profession’s requirements weren’t too difficult. Su Chen glanced at his panel, where a new notification had already appeared—
[The Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator has discovered the Vajra Warrior before him and realizes that other, highly compatible professions are about to appear.
After a moment of consideration, he decides to do something for you. Scarlet flames surge forth, enveloping the Vajra Warrior...]
’He’s actually going to fuse them for me again. That sales pitch I gave him last time really worked.’ Su Chen was stunned and quite surprised. He hadn’t actually expected the Great Venerable to do anything this time.
The Great Venerable had been quite active recently, completely losing his formerly aloof and distant demeanor. ’Who would’ve thought... a good sales pitch works wonders anywhere.’
’A two-for-one fusion is a solid gain, but a three-for-one is a jackpot,’ Su Chen muttered.
Meanwhile, Qin Guang continued his explanation, "This second profession..."
[Special Profession Discovered—Bone Vajra. The profession can be obtained by meeting the following requirements.]
[Requirement One: Possess four Physical Side professions, at least three of which must be Top-tier Professions.]
[Requirement Two: Soak in the meticulously prepared "Vajra Secret Elixir" for three months.]
[Requirement Three: Attempt to Guide a high-grade alloy to fuse into your own bones.]
Su Chen watched the panel with anticipation—
[The moment the Bone Vajra appeared, it was engulfed by flames and absorbed. The Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator is waiting...]
’It really is a three-for-one fusion.’ Su Chen was secretly pleased, his thoughts turning to the power of the Soldier Master.
[Special Profession Discovered—Blood Vajra. The profession can be obtained by meeting the following requirements.]
[...]
[The Blood Vajra was absorbed into the scarlet flames and instantly refined. The Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator added three essences—Faceless Ghost Essence, Crimson Essence, and Sly Fox Essence—to the mix. A gleam of golden light was forged.]
[Special Profession Discovered—Vajra Venerable. The profession can be obtained by meeting the following requirements.]
[Requirement One: Possess at least six Top-tier Physical Side professions.]
[Requirement Two: Within one year, attempt to fuse five Celestial Forged Objects of different attributes into your body. Completing this requirement and obtaining the profession will grant an additional reward.]
[Requirement Three: Comprehend the essence of Vajra while receiving a devastating blow.]
’Vajra Venerable...’ Su Chen scanned the panel. This was a pure three-for-one fusion of un-mastered professions, making it more difficult than the Soldier Master. It even had a conceptual requirement, which was more of a headache than a strict time limit.
After all, the Soldier Master fusion had included the already-mastered Armored Bone Warrior profession.
’A devastating blow, the essence of Vajra... Tsk...’ Su Chen was a greedy man, always wanting things to be as easy as possible. But, of course, there was no such luck.
[The Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator let out a long sigh and returned to his place.]
A new notification appeared on his panel, containing only a single sentence.
Su Chen was confused. After a moment’s thought, he wondered, ’Is the Great Venerable hinting that without Fog Ashes, even his power is limited?’
’Got it. I’m not blaming you.’
’These three professions are all on the Physical Side. This means that once I obtain the Vajra Venerable profession, I can try to forge the Holy Profession that has Blood Burner at its core.’
Su Chen considered this. ’The Great Venerable can still help me with one more Holy Profession fusion, so I can use his help for this. As for Permanent Body...’
’The most valuable use of his help is definitely for the Blood Burner-based one. It’s more important, since it’s built on seven Physical Side professions, whereas Permanent Body only requires five.’
’Besides, the Blood Burner fusion is a primordial one. It requires true Morning Fire, not the weakened version.’
Su Chen was in a good mood. He had gained quite a lot from Qin Guang: he’d confirmed that something was indeed wrong with Qin Yun, found out what Qin Tianlin was up to, and squeezed out three Holy Professions that could be fused.
Having forced himself to describe the three professions, Qin Guang was completely drained. He panted heavily, looking at the Faceless Ghost Follower before him with a hopeful gaze as he tried to further emphasize his own value:
"If you let me go, I will investigate Su Chen and report his activities to you whenever you wish. You can also give me any orders at any time."
However, the Faceless Ghost Follower before him simply shook his head and said lightly the words he least wanted to hear: "Let’s just forget it."
Qin Guang had been so cooperative that for a moment, Su Chen actually considered continuing to use him. But he quickly dismissed the thought.
This guy wasn’t like Lan Hao. He seemed extremely cooperative, but he was actually a slippery old fox—very difficult to control. Rather than letting him go and risking unnecessary trouble, it was better to eliminate him here and now.
"Forget it?" Qin Guang froze, his expression turning ugly. "You don’t have to kill me!" he said frantically. "I can provide you with information! Whatever you want to do, I can be your man on the inside!"
He couldn’t understand why this Deceitful God’s Follower wanted to kill him.
Based on his understanding, the Deceitful God’s Followers had no personal emotions; everything they did was to please the Divine Spirit they served. The value of turning him into an informant was far greater than simply killing him.
That was why he had been so cooperative. He genuinely believed his chances of survival were high.
"This guy won’t be much help to you anyway. Let’s feed him to Xiao Hei." Su Chen ignored Qin Guang, instead looking up at the Centipede Dragon. He spoke in a consultative tone; their relationship was one of cooperation, not of master and subordinate.
A hint of regret flickered in the Centipede Dragon’s eyes, but to the creature, this was just a small snack. It could take it or leave it. It nodded and said, "Do as you wish."
