My Professions Have Too Much Personality

The transformation within his body hadn’t ended, but it was gradually slowing down.

But as Su Chen stared at the text appearing on his panel, he couldn’t help but feel a jolt of surprise. ’Reflect the shadow of the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator upon myself?’

’What does that mean? Did I just summon a Great Venerable?’

The thought sent a tremor through him, but his rational mind immediately told him it was impossible.

This new ability had devoured several of his previous ones. Or perhaps it was because the Great Venerable Red Flame Thunder Resonator himself had forged it, resulting in a related ability.

In essence, however, it was still a Tier Six ability. It might be considerably more powerful for a variety of reasons, but it couldn’t be outrageously powerful.

Su Chen was curious and eager to test it out, but the strange transformation in his body wasn’t over yet. A tingling, itching sensation still pulsed through him intermittently.

Pulling his attention away from the panel, Su Chen focused on the transformation his body was undergoing.

’This feeling...’ He slowly opened his eyes and looked down. His clothes were in tatters, and faint, interwoven patterns of lightning were visible on his exposed skin.

His Spirit Core had shattered, but his Spiritual Power hadn’t vanished. Instead, it had fused with every cell in his body, making it omnipresent.

Su Chen examined this new state more closely. It was different from the "Crimson Dominator" Professional Ability he had integrated using All Things back when he was Tier Five.

In that state, his Spiritual Power had only temporarily augmented his body. This, however, was a complete fusion.

’Perhaps this is what the Morning Star Tier is like?’

Su Chen vaguely guessed, a thought stirring in his mind.

Qing Cang had once told him that at the Morning Star Tier, Spiritual Power fused with the self. That was why not even an Ancient King could read Qin Yun’s memories.

’No wonder they can’t read memories... How could anyone read this...’

Su Chen stood up. The sensation was quite peculiar.

This new state also came with many other benefits.

For example, he was now essentially immune to most forms of Mental Attacks. ’With the Spirit Core gone, there’s no target. How could they attack me?’

’I wonder if there are any downsides...’ He tried activating his Holy Hand ability. It still consumed Spiritual Power, drawing it from the cells of his body.

Next, he activated Reverse-Flow. The conversion system was still intact.

’That makes sense. The Spiritual Power didn’t vanish, it just fused with my body.’

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Reverse-Flow drew upon his Physical Strength and converted it into Spiritual Power. Thanks to his consumption-reduction abilities, he could turn one unit of Physical Strength into one-and-a-half or even two units of Spiritual Power. The effect was even more terrifying in his Chakra Liberation state. It was one of his most critical combat systems, so he was glad it hadn’t been rendered useless.

’If that’s the case, then I should still be able to advance my Profession’s progress using Body Refining Techniques and Meditation Techniques.’

’However, any future advancements will probably require a fused type of Main Profession.’

Su Chen was lost in thought. With his Spirit Core gone, he definitely couldn’t advance into a conventional Spiritual Profession.

He wasn’t too worried about it, though. The Bronze Sect’s Flame Fire still had the Fog Ashes to hold over the Great Venerable’s head; he wasn’t afraid the Great Venerable would refuse to help.

A few moments later, the tingling sensation in his body subsided, and the advancement was finally complete. The light beneath his skin gradually faded, returning him to his normal state. His physique now looked even more well-proportioned and solid.

He tapped his chest, and a faint sound of clashing metal came from his fair skin.

CLANG! CLANG!

’In terms of physical strength alone, I should be on par with a regular Tier Seven Professional.’

Su Chen estimated. Ever since Tier One, each of his Body Refining Meditation Methods had produced an Enhanced Ability. The cumulative effect of all these small gains had become extremely substantial.

After acclimatizing for a moment, a flash of anticipation crossed his eyes.

’Reflected Great Venerable... let’s see what this is all about.’

Su Chen took a deep breath and tentatively activated the ability.

Instantly, he felt a violent tremor in his heart as a raging torrent of energy—crimson flames and golden electric serpents—surged out. A blurry, thirty-foot-tall silhouette materialized behind him. The figure was faceless and formless, with only a flowing torso made of light.

Then, like a receding tide, it poured back into Su Chen’s body. His muscles bulged as if filled with molten lava, and crimson fire and golden lightning erupted from his pores. The energy had an inner layer as dark red as blood, and an outer layer that crackled with golden electricity.

Veins of molten gold pulsed beneath his skin, and two dancing flames ignited in the depths of his pupils. As he slowly clenched his fist, his knuckles popped with a sound like tearing silk.

"This..." A hint of shock filled Su Chen’s eyes. The power of this ability was even greater than he had imagined.

Even without relying on Soldier Master or his other abilities, just this shadow of the Great Venerable alone was probably enough to let him trade blows with a Tier Seven Professional.

’And this is without even using Holy Hand. If I were to augment myself with Holy Hand, and then add Soldier Master on top of that... could I fight a mid-level Fog Ashes without even needing to use Melting Holy Profession?’

The thought suddenly occurred to Su Chen.

Originally, he had estimated that he would have to use Melting Holy Profession before he could even attempt to purify that mid-level Fog Ashes. But now...

He deactivated the ability, and his body gradually returned to normal. A contemplative look flashed in Su Chen’s eyes. ’Maybe I should go test it out at the Ancient King’s place?’

’It would also be the perfect opportunity to indirectly inquire about the status of the Morning Star Essence. Otherwise, I’d have no real excuse to ask directly.’

He was very concerned about any news of the Morning Star Essence, but he couldn’t just go and ask about it every other day. Now that he had advanced to Tier Six, going to test his strength against the Fog Ashes and then casually bringing up the Morning Star Essence would seem perfectly reasonable.

’But I’m not at my strongest right now.’ Su Chen’s eyes shifted. ’Soldier Master is currently my most powerful ability for direct combat.’

However, his Control Secret Artifacts were all still at Tier Five; they hadn’t been upgraded yet. Moreover, the number of Control Secret Artifacts he could wield had increased by one, so he needed to give that some serious thought.
