My Professions Have Too Much Personality

He projected the shadow of the Reflected Great Venerable onto himself, activated the enhancement from the Secret Artifact that had long since fused with his body, and empowered himself with Soldier Master—all in one fluid motion.

He already had experience fighting Black Tuo, and this empowered state wouldn’t last long. There was no time for probing.

In a single step, his figure transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, brutally shattering the air before him. His afterimage hadn’t even faded when his fist was already at Black Tuo’s face!

His fist, wreathed in Flame Thunder and wrapped in serpents of molten gold electricity, let out a piercing shriek as it tore through the air.

BOOM!

A ring-shaped shockwave erupted at the point of impact between fist and face. Energy ripples spread in all directions as Black Tuo’s shadow was blasted backward, but it quickly stopped mid-air. The residual arcs of electricity around its body were devoured by black mist, and its pupils turned pitch-black.

’Its strength has certainly increased quite a bit...’ Su Chen stared at the Black Tuo simulated from the mid-grade Fog Ashes. It was no longer formed from pure mist; its surface even had the texture of skin, albeit black skin.

It gave a slight nod, and the vertical pupil on its head lit up. A line of dark light flared to life, thin as a hair at first, but in an instant, it condensed into a massive pillar of light.

Su Chen didn’t even have time to react. The beam seemed to truly move at the speed of light, silently enveloping him.

The surface of the light shimmered with the cold luster of obsidian. Su Chen’s heart tightened, and he raised his guard, only to feel his Spiritual Power boil. However, he couldn’t detect any killing intent.

’A Mental Attack...’ Su Chen was momentarily stunned. ’Ha, I don’t even have a Spirit Core anymore. How are you going to attack me?’

Only then did he remember that Black Tuo wasn’t famous for its power, but for its skill in toying with people’s minds. The vertical eye on its head was its greatest trademark.

’If this were the real Black Tuo, it would probably have a way to affect someone with the Unity of Spirit and Body. But you’re just a fake...’

With his mind settled, Su Chen stomped on the ground. His back arched like a fully drawn bow as the golden lightning and crimson fire around him suddenly receded, revealing bulging, molten-gold veins beneath his skin.

The next instant—

BOOM!

Golden lightning and crimson fire surged up from the soles of his feet, exploding in a blinding electric glare. It coiled up from the ground, tearing through the air with the shriek of ripping silk as it shot straight for Black Tuo!

BANG!

With a loud bang, Black Tuo’s body disintegrated, but the black mist transformed into a surging torrent that drilled into Su Chen’s eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. It slithered beneath his skin like countless black snakes.

Su Chen’s gaze was icy. Holy Hand enhancement, Spiritual Might.

’Get out!’

His muscles tensed inch by inch. Amidst a scene resembling a blood mist, the black fog was forcibly squeezed out by an Invisible Power.

In the distance, it reformed into a burly, black-armored giant. It was originally tens of meters tall but was instantly compressed down to three meters, becoming incredibly solid.

Two more arms ripped out from under its ribs, one holding a saber and the other a sword. Wings unfurled from its back, and thick black lightning shot out from the giant’s seven orifices. Its pupils ignited with a faint black fire.

’This seems to be a combination of Professions, no fewer than five, maybe even more...’ Su Chen saw the signs from afar. ’A Black Tuo of this strength has a much deeper mastery over the use of various Professions.’

At its previous, weaker strength, its various Professional Abilities seemed flashy but were chaotic and disorganized. Now, it was almost like a prototype of a Holy Profession.

The giant’s speed was astounding. With a crack of black lightning, it was already in front of Su Chen.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Su Chen’s and Black Tuo’s figures collided repeatedly, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow. Only the ceaseless explosions of Flowing Light and sparks allowed one to distinguish their positions.

’This thing is really strong.’

After clashing for a while, Su Chen privately clicked his tongue in amazement. ’Although this combination of Professions is a step weaker than my Professional Fusion, since they aren’t truly molded into one,’

’they still complement each other, making it terrifyingly powerful. It’s only because my Soldier Master enhancement is so absurdly strong that I’m not losing. In fact, I have a slight advantage...’

A slight advantage didn’t guarantee victory, but since his opponent didn’t possess a Holy Profession, winning wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

Su Chen had already roughly estimated their relative power levels. He was still missing something to secure a victory.

He would have to reveal more of his trump cards.

Holy Hand enhancement: Blood Burner!

Blood-red flames suddenly ignited on the surface of his body, endlessly burning his flesh and blood and converting it into fuel for his power.

Holy Hand enhancement: Holy Mark Physician!

A Holy Mark stored within his body quietly shattered, and streams of Flowing Light rapidly repaired the injuries caused by the Blood Burner ability.

Su Chen switched from an offensive to a temporary defensive stance to avoid interfering with the various abilities activating within his body. In that instant, he was slashed by Black Tuo and sent flying back tens of meters.

BANG!

By the time all the nourishment from the first Holy Mark was consumed, the golden lightning and crimson fire enveloping him had become blindingly intense, crackling loudly.

Now, Black Tuo’s attacks could barely cause him any substantial harm.

However, the blood-red flames on his skin did not stop. Instead, they burned even more intensely, continuing to consume his flesh and blood.

Holy Hand enhancement: Tyrant!

His injuries began to worsen. His heart pounded like a war drum, and hot currents surged through him as his aura climbed once more. It continued until it reached a certain equilibrium where his every move brought a faint, sharp pain, yet his actions remained unimpeded.

Holy Hand once again enhanced a Holy Mark!

His final stored Holy Mark also quietly shattered, sending a surging, hot current flowing to every part of his body.

BOOM!

Su Chen blasted away the attacking Black Tuo. Even though the force of the rebound would worsen his injuries, the power of the Holy Mark would rapidly repair them, constantly maintaining his body at a healthy level.

Finally... Su Chen stretched his limbs. The various abilities within him had formed a perfect balance, granting him the ultimate enhancement.

’It’s about time...’

The battle had already lasted five or six minutes. If he didn’t finish it soon, he wouldn’t be able to hold out himself.

Su Chen’s eyes turned cold. He was no longer on the defensive. Golden lightning and crimson fire erupted from his seven orifices as he threw a right punch wreathed in a molten-gold radiance.

The black-armored giant, Black Tuo’s current form, swept its saber horizontally to meet the blow.

BOOM!!

A ring of crimson energy erupted where the fist and saber collided. The saber shattered, but the fist’s momentum didn’t falter as it slammed into the giant’s chest.

Black Tuo was shot backward like a cannonball for dozens of yards. Su Chen followed close behind, a stream of light trailing him like a shadow.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

A continuous series of explosive roars echoed out.

’So tough.’ Su Chen’s brow furrowed. He clasped his hands and raised them over his head. As the golden lightning and crimson fire intertwined, the faint image of a colossal figure appeared behind him, holding a massive Thunderbolt Hammer that it brought down with ferocious might.

"Shatter!"

BOOM!

A blazing light bloomed, and a surging torrent of energy rolled out in all directions.

...

Outside the Fog Ashes, the Bronze Ancient King stared intently into their depths, where he could faintly make out an indistinct figure.

A dense stream of data squeezed its way into the Fog Ashes and struggled to return. Since Su Chen was enveloped by the mist, this real-time feedback was the only way the Ancient King could ascertain Su Chen’s physical condition.

’Hmm... His physical strength has suddenly increased by more than three times, and his elemental power has surged by at least fivefold... What a formidable ability...’

Data flowed through the Bronze Ancient King’s eyes. He could faintly see a crimson phantom enter Su Chen’s body, causing his aura to climb continuously.

’With this level of physical strength, on top of that ability, he has every right to be confident.’

’Is he drawing on Spiritual Power to enhance his abilities? To have already formed his own self-contained system at Tier Six...’

But not long after, his eyes narrowed. The stream of green data flowing from his body suddenly thickened, as if it were confirming something.

’This...’

Even he had a look of shock in his eyes. ’What is this new ability? His physical strength isn’t just soaring... five times... ten times... it’s still increasing!’

The Bronze Ancient King had originally thought that Su Chen’s confidence in coming here for a trial stemmed from having physical strength comparable to an ordinary Tier Seven Professional, combined with that first ability. But now...

’Unbelievable... Is this what he relied on to defeat Qin Tianlin?’

Even with all his vast experience, he had never seen an ability of such intensity outside of a Holy Profession.

But then, his eyes twitched as he murmured, "It’s still increasing... Burning his flesh and blood... to enhance himself. And not just that, there also seems to be... a restorative ability... Burning and then repairing... He actually dared to attempt such a thing..."

’To use these powers so unrestrainedly, and his body can actually withstand it. His cells have been enhanced by some ability, allowing one unit of Physical Strength to be used as three, or even five, or ten...’

’This kid... just how many Professions does he have? And they synergize so perfectly...’

Acquiring some Professions leaves traces in the body, but others do not. Even he found it difficult to visually determine just how many Professions someone had.

He could only catch a glimpse or two from Su Chen’s constantly changing physical state.

’Could it be...’ Suddenly, the Bronze Ancient King’s eyes lit up, a torrent of data flowing within them. He felt an uncontrollable excitement rising in his heart.

The next moment, the Fog Ashes swirling at the outer edge of the Flame Fire suddenly began to boil as if stimulated. The black mist scattered, and the clear Fog Source converged, finally shrinking to the size of a fist.

And Su Chen had collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Above his head, the Flame Fire roared, reaching a height of ten zhang!
