Chapter 382 - 224: Ancient King Stele
Even so, he felt he should practice a few more times.
A little over ten minutes later, the flowing mist and wind surging around Su Chen had practically become cutting blades. If a piece of metal were to get close, it would be instantly shattered.
The veins on his forehead throbbed, and he was on the verge of losing control.
Then, at a certain moment, Su Chen’s entire body jolted. The flowing mist and wind suddenly exploded into a white cloud, but it was immediately drawn in by an Invisible Power, gathering into a white misty dragon that coiled around Su Chen’s body.
[Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique has been raised to its limit—Ability Gained—Cloud Shadow: When moving, you can be accompanied by clouds and mist, making you difficult to track.]
Success!
"Thank goodness..."
Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his eyes and moved a finger, and the cloud dragon coiled around him moved in response.
"This guidance is too aggressive. It pushed the Cloud Dragon Body Refining Technique directly toward breaking its limit. If I hadn’t been able to control it, I would have failed."
Su Chen felt a lingering fear. He looked at his panel, lost in thought. ’So this is the benefit of breaking a limit...’
He remembered asking Qing Cang about how to break the limit of a Body Refining Technique, and Qing Cang had mentioned it.
If a Body Refining Technique could break its limit, it would give birth to an Enhanced Ability that would strengthen its user.
"Unfortunately, it takes too much time and energy. With my panel, I can just raise a technique to the Master Level to generate an Enhanced Ability. There’s no need to pursue the limit," Su Chen said, shaking his head.
For others, Body Refining Techniques and Meditation Techniques were simply tools to increase their progress and meet profession requirements.
For instance, Top-tier Professions required five different Training Techniques. Whether an Enhanced Ability was generated or not depended entirely on one’s personal affinity and adaptability, with almost no established method to follow.
This was true even in the Bronze Sect. For others, breaking the limit still had some merit.
But he was different. With his panel, everything ran according to a perfect standard, naturally generating an Enhanced Ability that would become part of his foundation.
Instead of spending so much effort on this, it would be better to advance to the next tier as quickly as possible.
"In any case, I’ve finally broken the limit. I can finally become a Power User," Su Chen said, rubbing his hands together.
He decided to strike while the iron was hot. Since all the requirements were met, he immediately became a Power User.
In an instant, a gentle, warm current quietly emerged from deep within his body. At first, it was as slow and subtle as a thawing stream, but it soon transformed into countless fine threads, spreading through his blood vessels to every limb and bone.
Like a hot spring, it soaked every part of him. His body felt like parched earth soaking up a timely rain. His cells became unprecedentedly active, undergoing microscopic changes Su Chen couldn’t perceive.
"Hahh..." Su Chen almost moaned in comfort, his eyes nearly welling up with tears. Every time he took on a new profession, it was an ordeal. He had almost never felt this comfortable.
The warm current continued to permeate his body, and his skin gradually took on a translucent, jade-like luster.
[Successfully became a Power User. Gained Professional Ability—Power Realm: Skill Proficiency acquisition speed increased by 50%.]
[Received an additional bonus: Skill Proficiency acquisition speed increased by 25%.]
As Su Chen expected, the Professional Ability provided a 50% boost, and the additional bonus added another 25%.
"Now, my Talent should be Scarlet, right?"
Su Chen took out a testing device from his Storage Space. The moment he placed his hands on it, a pillar of light—pinkish-red and extremely dense—shot up, a pleasant sight to behold.
"Just as I thought..." Su Chen nodded, feeling much more at ease. Having the Dual Ink Jade Talent had been rather disappointing.
[Successfully became a Power User. The Purifier’s path of sublimation has been unlocked. Please use Morning Fire Ashes to guide the fusion.]
The panel popped up again. Su Chen glanced at it, his heart stirring.
He had discreetly asked Wan Chen and the others about it. These five professions that enhanced one’s Talent weren’t rare in the Bronze Sect; almost everyone tried to take them on.
Because everyone’s foundation and the required completion rates were different, even if they took on all the professions, the increase was usually only one Talent level. An increase of two levels was rare.
Although it was said they were all connected and speculated that they could be fused into a Holy Profession, not a single person had ever succeeded.
’These professions might hold more secrets. The Purifier definitely enhances Talent too. I wonder how high it will raise mine.’
Su Chen couldn’t help but speculate. The Purifier’s path of sublimation was different from the Life Burner’s path of transformation.
The latter required Morning Star Fire, but this one only needed Morning Fire Ashes.
"According to Qing Cang, this is probably the difference between a first-time fusion and a step-by-step process," Su Chen mused.
’Divine Blood plus a special method...’
He still had no clue what that special method was. He would have to ask around once he reached the Sect.
’Based on the fragments of information from Wan Chen and the others, forging a Postnatal Holy Profession—even a newly created one—is no simple matter.’
His eyes glinted. ’Even if it’s just Morning Fire Ashes, it’s still from the Morning Fire...’
He glanced at his panel again—
[Word Spirit Law Master: 67%]
[Calamity Patrol Envoy: 60%]
[C-level Melting Furnace Hundred Refinements Body Forging Technique -- Beginner: 80%]
[C-level Starlight Reflecting Sea Meditation Method -- Beginner: 5%]
A while ago, he had also raised the Glazed Heart Lamp Meditation Method to the Master Level, which generated an ability called [Heart Lamp Observation] that slightly increased his Spiritual Resilience.
’My promotion to a Tier Five Profession needs to be put on the agenda, too...’ Su Chen pondered.
The options for Tier Five Professions in Ying Feng were far too limited, especially for Mental Professions. None were related to lightning and fire, so he wouldn’t get the enhancement bonus.
’After I get to the Sect, I’ll choose physical and Mental Professions related to lightning and fire, and then I’ll ask about how to ignite the Morning Fire...’ Su Chen set two initial goals.
Then, he tried circulating his Body Refining Technique and Meditation Technique again. Feeling the significant increase in his development efficiency, he couldn’t help but marvel.
