My Professions Have Too Much Personality

Su Chen’s heart tightened. "Master, if you just leave like this, what should we do if something happens to the Sect?" he asked hurriedly.

"You certainly think of everything," the Bronze Ancient King said with a half-smile, seemingly seeing through Su Chen’s worries. "Rest assured, the core is the core not only because I sit here year-round, but also due to the foundation accumulated over nearly ten thousand years. Those guys naturally understand this and wouldn’t dare act rashly.

"Of course, I will also leave some countermeasures behind. Those few in the Morning Star Tier can’t cause much trouble."

The Bronze Ancient King spoke casually. Even the Morning Star Tier experts, who wielded immense power in the outside world, were nothing in the eyes of the Ancient King.

"That’s good," Su Chen said, breathing a sigh of relief. No matter what, safety was the most important thing.

Meanwhile, at Copper Heart.

Chu Lingyuan had just returned to his station from the Ancient King Hall. Crossing the courtyard and entering the reception room, he spoke up with an apologetic tone. "Brother Zhou, sorry to keep you waiting."

"Not at all," the seated middle-aged man replied, standing up. He possessed a strikingly handsome and elegant bearing. This was Zhou Lingtian, a Morning Star Tier expert ranked second on the Morning Star Chart, just below the Rebellious God King.

Zhou Lingtian’s eyes held a hint of inquiry. "Was that young man just now the Star Seed Su Chen, who recently transformed to the Divine Dawn Level, gained immense fame, and still ranks first on the preliminary selection chart?"

Chu Lingyuan nodded. "Yes, that’s him."

"A striking young man, as expected," Zhou Lingtian sighed in admiration. "A Tier Six Melting Holy Profession is truly inconceivable. In a short-term clash, even my student might not be able to defeat him."

"You’re being too modest, Brother Zhou," Chu Lingyuan said, shaking his head. "Although Su Chen has explosive burst power, it’s nothing worth bragging about."

Chu Lingyuan felt that Su Chen was receiving far too much attention right now. However, those few who possessed Melting Holy Professions were all hiding their true strength, unwilling to step forward and suppress Su Chen. This resulted in more than half of the discussions at the Peak Star Conference revolving around him.

The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind. Chu Lingyuan understood this principle perfectly well.

"When will the Sect introduce the method of the Tier Six Melting Holy Profession to the public? When that time comes, I’m afraid the Bronze Sect will dominate everyone else," Zhou Lingtian said meaningfully.

Chu Lingyuan gave a somewhat bitter smile. "Su Chen’s situation is unique. I’m afraid it will be very difficult to produce a second case."

"Is that so?" Zhou Lingtian replied noncommittally, his tone tinged with emotion. "A Twin Divine Dawns Star Seed. Yet another rising star. In our lifetimes, we might just see this young man ascend to the rank of Ancient King."

His words carried an indescribable undertone. As a Twin Divine Dawns Star Seed himself, he had reached the Morning Star Tier extremely early. It could even be said that he was still currently in his absolute prime. But the road ahead had come to a dead end, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"He’s just a junior; let’s drop the subject. Let’s not talk about him," Chu Lingyuan said, waving his hand. He was just about to bring up the conversation they hadn’t finished earlier when his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up immediately, seemingly listening to something. Zhou Lingtian also sat up straight to show his respect.

A moment later, a flash of astonishment and irrepressible excitement crossed Chu Lingyuan’s eyes. He couldn’t help but look through the window toward the Flame Fire, though he quickly composed himself. Even so, Zhou Lingtian still caught the subtle change, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.

He could naturally sense the descent of that Ancient King’s Spiritual Power, but he had no idea what was discussed with Chu Lingyuan to provoke such an unusual reaction.

"Yes," Chu Lingyuan let out a long breath and solemnly agreed. However, a massive shockwave rippled through his mind. To think that even the middle-layer Fog Ashes had been purified—Su Chen’s growth speed was simply too fast.

"Brother Chu," Zhou Lingtian called out suddenly.

Chu Lingyuan gathered his thoughts and said, "The Ancient King just gave me some instructions."

This was the private business of the Bronze Sect. Naturally, Zhou Lingtian wouldn’t pry, so he could only suppress his curiosity.

Chu Lingyuan then continued, "What exactly happened with the grand sacrifice incident you mentioned earlier?"

Zhou Lingtian’s expression turned solemn. "I stumbled upon it by chance while traveling through the Dust Star Sea. Several remote planets were at war with one another. It looked like normal hostility on the surface, but there were traces of Crimson hidden behind the scenes. It was some kind of grand sacrifice meant to please a higher entity.

"I’m afraid the Deceitful Gods are planning a major move, and they’ve likely colluded with certain major factions."

"A major move." Chu Lingyuan’s expression instantly turned incredibly grave.

Meanwhile, on the Floating Island.

"The Ancient King is truly formidable. In the blink of an eye, I’m back," Su Chen said, his body swaying slightly. Standing in the center of the Floating Island, he couldn’t help but look up. "Such is the Power of the Moonlight Tier."

He sighed inwardly. That Tier was still very far away from him. Right now, his main priority was preparing for his advancement to Tier Seven.

"Well, I don’t lack Divine Power. I just need to find two compatible professions. Once the Great Venerable awakens, I can smelt them directly," he thought. "Given my current relationship with the Great Venerable, smelting a Main Profession shouldn’t be a big problem.

"The development progress is already nearing seventy percent. Maxing it out will probably take another few months. The Great Venerable will definitely be awake by then, and Thunder Fury will also come in handy to directly erase the requirements.

"As for the next Holy Profession..." Su Chen pondered. He had one opportunity to allocate a Holy Profession, and he naturally had to carefully consider which direction to take.

He continued his train of thought, "I don’t really lack frontal combat strength anymore. The upper limit of the World Slaughter Form is extremely high; right now, even if I exhaust my Permanent Body, it would be difficult to reach it. However, the cost-effectiveness of chasing that upper limit isn’t as good as advancing my Main Tier.

"The boosts from the Secret Artifact are fairly balanced, and the Immortal Vajra can even take care of some defense. Attack, defense, Physical Strength... then the next thing I need is speed."

Su Chen naturally thought of how speed had been more useful on the Red Thunder Star. However, after arriving at the Bronze Sect, he had been staying at this Copper Heart Department, and the battles he faced were confined to close quarters.

It was inherently restrictive, but he couldn’t just live in the Copper Heart Department forever. Sooner or later, he would step out of this place and head to the Dust Star Sea to engage in true life-and-death struggles.
