My Professions Have Too Much Personality

"Perfect timing..." Su Chen reached out and took the Cyan Rope and Scale Armor from his Storage Space.

Now that he had advanced to Tier Three, he could upgrade his weapons as well.

He went to the basement and opened the material storeroom. He first took out the Cyan Rope, infusing it with his Spiritual Power and activating his Soldier Nurturer Professional Ability.

From the piles of materials around him, chunks of Refined Gold Iron Ore floated up. They began to soften and glow as if they had been placed in a furnace.

They transformed into droplets of scorching liquid metal, their surfaces rippling. The droplets didn’t scatter; instead, a powerful force of attraction pulled them toward the cyan Iron Whip suspended in the center.

SIZZLE—!

The moment the Refined Gold Iron Liquid touched the Iron Whip, it made a violent sound. It wasn’t the hiss of evaporating steam, but the fierce sizzle of a branding iron on solid ice—an incredibly intense reaction.

The once plain, unadorned body of the cyan rope greedily drank in the metallic nectar, swiftly devouring and fusing with the liquid.

Translucent fibers adhered to its surface. Following that, more and more liquid refined gold surged forth, wave after wave. It was no longer a simple coating, but a true fusion and reforging.

On the Iron Whip’s cyan foundation, mysterious, dark gold patterns began to snake across its surface like the veins of a living creature. They continuously extended, intertwined, and shimmered as more of the liquid metal was absorbed.

It grew visibly thicker and more solid. The surface was no longer coarse and matte, but now possessed a strange luster—a mix of deep cyan and dark gold, with the fluid texture of liquid metal.

Once the transformation was complete, Su Chen pinched the bridge of his nose, his head feeling a little woozy.

The Spiritual Power consumption was immense. If his foundation hadn’t been stronger than others, he wouldn’t have made it halfway.

’The consumption really is something else...’ Su Chen clicked his tongue in amazement. No wonder an upgrade required advancing in one’s main profession first.

If one’s spiritual strength was insufficient, just melting the materials would be a challenge, to say nothing of the deep-level fusion.

The Illusion Blade before him had shed its former whip-like form, now appearing as a single, seamless weapon. With a mere thought from Su Chen, it flowed like liquid, gradually transforming into a metal long spear.

’The Spirit Essence Fiber is highly malleable, which is what gives it its multiple mimicry properties...’ Su Chen mused, toying with the cool metal of the weapon.

However, the shaping process was rather long, making it impossible to switch forms quickly in battle. Still, it was an excellent feature.

He activated the Spirit Realm Instrument to aid his spiritual recovery and quickly finished upgrading the Scale Armor as well.

[Purple Gold Scale Armor (Tier Three): Forged by upgrading Purple Finch Scales and high-purity nanoparticles with Spiritual Power.]

The Tier Three Scale Armor was much heavier, its cyan-scale foundation now shot through with a purple light. Its defensive power was far more formidable, and the response time of its stacking defense was also faster.

Rubbing his head, Su Chen returned to his bedroom for a short nap. When he opened his eyes again, he felt completely refreshed, his eyes gleaming with vigor.

’Spiritual recovery really is different from just sleeping...’ Su Chen thought, stretching. He felt completely revitalized.

He glanced at the time. It was already midnight. ’About time.’ After tidying up a little, he left the building, but he didn’t take a Hovercar this time.

After leaving the Judicial Court, he switched between several modes of transport and even walked for a while. He activated his Shadow Concealing Wind Boots, his form blurring until it was difficult to perceive.

’...Liu Chen is a Physical Side professional. His development progress should be in the latter half of Tier Three. Plus, his Tier One and Tier Two professions were Top-tier Professions, so his foundation is considerable...’

Su Chen kept his head down. He had already put on his Mimic Mask, subtly altering his facial features.

The Mimic Mask he’d gotten from Southwind was a bit outdated, but it would have to do for now.

’Hm, I’m here.’

He looked up. It was a high-end hotel. According to the information he’d gathered, Liu Chen had a girlfriend he often met here for trysts.

...

"...Hiss... why are you... so rough today..."

In the room, a beautiful woman with long, wavy hair grimaced in pain, trying to push away the man on top of her.

"...Dammit, I’m so fucking pissed." Liu Chen’s voice was full of rage. "That bastard still hasn’t come looking for me."

"Is it still about that Su Chen?" The woman seemed to know who he was talking about. "He’s a Core Seed, too. Why... why do you have to push him down like this?"

She sounded worried. "If this gets blown out of proportion, it won’t end well, will it?"

"Afraid of him?" Liu Chen suddenly looked up and slapped the woman across the face. She cried out, her eyes instantly welling with tears.

He didn’t stop. In this setting, he made no attempt to hide his emotions, sneering, "Let him take it higher. Who’s going to say anything? He’s too broke to afford them. Is that my fault?"

"I gave him a chance, didn’t I? All he had to do was beg a little, and I would’ve given them to him. They’re just a few Thunder Cores. He had to act tough. Whose fault is that? Whose fault?!"

Liu Chen’s expression grew more savage, and his movements became increasingly violent.

"I... I..." The woman couldn’t even form a word, her pupils dilating.

Silently, the door to the room eased open a crack.

Liu Chen’s movements froze. Cold sweat drenched his body. He felt a heart-stopping sense of threat, as if ten thousand blades were pressed against his skin, and absolute terror seized him.

’This is bad!’

This was the exact moment his guard was down. By the time he sensed the intruder, a violent wind was already blasting his face. A cold glint of light came slashing down—it was a Dark Gold Giant Axe, its edge nearly upon him!

’So fast!’ Liu Chen’s eye twitched. A powerful, azure wave of energy erupted from him, sending his entire body flying back into the wall.

Immediately, his skin began to ripple as his entire body showed signs of liquefying. In that split second, he was desperately trying to use Elementalization to evade the physical attack.
