My Professions Have Too Much Personality

Chapter 406 - 236: The Nether Realm Controlled by the Sect

The moment the text settled, Su Chen’s expression suddenly changed. The thunder and flames around him, which had been gradually subsiding, suddenly grew frenzied again, yet began to turn inward.

All the pain, lightning, and flames ultimately converged on his heart, gradually condensing and twisting into an incandescent core beside it.

That core was like a miniature sun, wreathed in ceaseless, multicolored lightning, with fire concentrated to its absolute limit within.

The power it contained made even Su Chen’s heart pound in terror, his scalp tingling. If it ever exploded, he doubted even his heart could be saved.

After the core solidified, his entire being grew still from the inside out, leaving only the faint light flowing beneath his skin and the intimidating glint in his eyes—a mixture of thunder and flame.

As the transformation gradually came to an end, Su Chen finally let out a long sigh of relief.

’A Tier Five Professional...’ Su Chen stretched his limbs, feeling the surging power within him. His gaze fell upon the string of text that had appeared on his panel, and his eyes couldn’t help but twitch.

Only then did he understand that the core was actually a five-in-one super ability, brutally simple to the extreme. In its normal state, it provided a 100% boost, which could be unleashed for a shocking 300%.

’So this is the core ability of the Thunder Flame Monarch.’ Su Chen tried to activate it, and an explosive energy immediately surged forth.

CRACKLE—

Sparks of lightning and fire erupted from his fingertips, instantly spreading throughout the training room. Su Chen’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reined the power in.

’This power... it’s a bit intense...’ Su Chen thought. ’But this is better. From now on, I won’t have to spread out the buffs from Holy Hand. I can just apply it directly to this Thunder Flame core.’

The additional bonus reduced its consumption by 20%, which was pretty good.

Su Chen experimented with it a while longer, quite satisfied. ’I wonder if I can beat Qin Tianlin now?’

’Probably not... I’m still a ways off,’ he estimated.

His Word Spirit Law Master progression was 11% away from being maxed out. As for the requirement for the Tolerant profession, he didn’t have any Sly Fox Essence, so Su Chen decided to wait a bit longer.

After roughly acclimating to his new body, Su Chen tidied up a bit and walked out of the training room.

Compared to when he first arrived, this Floating Island now had many more buildings. Not only were there challenge rooms, but also a uniquely shaped, gray-black structure.

It had an irregular, twelve-sided conical structure. The walls were not made of ordinary metal, but a composite material with the luster of a crystalline alloy.

Only upon closer inspection could one see that its surface was densely covered with layers of luminous symbols.

These symbols were not simply carved, but seemed embedded in the walls, emitting an interwoven glow of dark gold, cerulean blue, and crimson against the gray-black background.

The surrounding light would bend as it neared the building’s surface, making it appear somewhat distorted from a distance.

’The Nether Tower...’ Su Chen’s gaze swept over it.

As early as half a month ago, the Nether Hall had already completed the spiritual anchor and built this Nether Tower on his Floating Island.

Through the Nether Tower, he could enter the region of the Nether Realm controlled by the Bronze Sect.

However, he had been busy trying to advance to Tier Five as quickly as possible back then, so he never had the time to deal with it.

Su Chen was quite curious about what a Nether Realm controlled by the Sect would be like, and so he walked straight into the Nether Tower.

The structure was forged from a material called "Nether Iron Crystal," which was mined from the Nether Realm and mixed with other materials. It had an extremely strong insulating effect on Spiritual Power.

Due to the unique nature of the Nether Realm, almost no detection equipment could function there, making it even more difficult to transmit any information out.

Therefore, entering the Nether Realm was one of the few dangerous activities within the Bronze Sect. If one’s Spirit Body was annihilated in the Nether Realm, it would result in brain death.

Every year, Sect members would die inside these Nether Towers.

Su Chen stepped inside. It was dark and narrow. Only after the door closed did a faint light appear.

He sat cross-legged on the floor and, following the instructions the architect had given him, gradually immersed his Spiritual Power into the Nether Tower.

Completely different from entering the Nether Realm unprepared on his own, he could clearly feel himself passing through some kind of channel.

The environment around him gradually changed, but it wasn’t the familiar, gray, hazy realm. Instead, a clamor of voices slowly rose in his ears.

"Someone’s coming."

"Why is it a new Nether Tower? Number 107, that’s an unfamiliar one. Who’s coming to this godforsaken place?"

"107... isn’t that the Floating Island number for that new Star Seed?"

"Su Chen?"

"..."

Su Chen slowly opened his eyes. He found himself inside a transparent crystal pillar, with several figures visible outside.

Someone had already thoughtfully opened the door for him. It was a young man whose Spirit Body looked somewhat faint, clearly not of a high Tier, who greeted him with an enthusiastic smile, "Your Excellency, Su Chen..."

He seemed to be an ordinary staff member here, and his gaze toward Su Chen was filled with astonishment.

Su Chen’s name had been resounding like thunder within the Sect lately. Because of his ranking, many people wanted to challenge his training projection.

That dirty trick of his that left a mental shadow was now widely known, causing many to grumble about it in secret.

Many had assumed this was Su Chen’s ultimate move, but only after enduring it did they realize it was far from it.

His subsequent fighting style was in no way simpler than that mental shock. His speed and defense were in no way inferior to a Tier Five Professional’s.

Some even mentioned that if the battle dragged on for too long, the black Thunder Power left in their bodies could even affect their luck.

Someone had tripped and fallen right after leaving the challenge center post-battle, while another’s Body Refining Technique had suddenly gone haywire during cultivation.
