At this moment, within Zheng Cheng’s mind, his central radar life monitoring technique showed that the light representing Song Zhaoyu was yellow.
Neutral unit.
Not an enemy.
However, when his spiritual sense made contact with this yellow dot, a series of new pieces of information appeared before him!
[Current target: Human female, carbon-based lifeform]
[Current status: Comatose/Extremely weak]
[Name: Song Zhaoyu]
[Sex: Female] [Profession: Soul Sucking Demoness]
[Height: 165cm] [Weight: 45KG]
[Dimensions: 86,60,88]
[Constitution: 4]
[Strength: 3]
[Agility: 3]
[Spirit: 9]
Her condition has changed from possession to comatose.
Her spirit attribute points have also dramatically dropped from 1050 to a mere 9!
What’s most important here is…..
In the information about Song Zhaoyu, a new category, “Profession”, has appeared!
Soul Sucking Demoness!
Zheng Cheng remembered clearly that Song Zhaoyu had failed her awakening ceremony half a month ago!
Now, she had somehow obtained a career panel.
What’s going on?
“What’s wrong?” Zhao Yunxiao inquired, “Did you find something unexpected?”
Zheng Cheng hesitated for a moment and then said, “I found out… It seems that Song Zhaoyu has become a Professionist?”
“What?!”
Zhao Yunxiao and Yao Zhixue looked shocked, Yao Zhixue subconsciously blurted out, “But she failed her awakening half a month ago, how did…” Both their gazes were now focused on Zhao Yunxiao.
Among the four present, only Zhao Yunxiao, as the highest-ranking member and a Night Watchman, should know more!
Zhao Yunxiao’s eye twitched with uncertainty. He hesitated before saying, “I remember my elders mentioning something similar to Song Zhaoyu’s situation.”
“Three hundred years ago, during our fusion with various other realms, a peculiar artifact known as the ‘Legacy Crystal’ made its appearance.”
“After being fused with this artifact, an ordinary individual could become a Professionist!”
Zhao Yunxiao started scrutinizing Song Zhaoyu again, “During the great calamity period, the first batch of Professionists, apart from a small number who awakened on their own, consisted primarily of those who obtained their professions through this method.”
“However, that was only available during the period of the great calamity three hundred years ago, there’s been no stock left ever since.”
“The reason why your classmate Song Zhaoyu was able to become a
Professionist, may have something to do with the Lord of the Black Sun…”
“This…”
Suddenly, Zheng Cheng felt a surge of underlying soul power appearing within his body.
He exclaimed in surprise, “I’ve received soul power, it seems that the Lord of the Black Sun is truly dead now!”
The Lord of the Black Sun was killed by the Night Watchman Shen Nanfeng.
Zheng Cheng also assisted in the kill, earning him a substantial amount of soul power.
“Did you level up?”
“Just a bit more…”
Zhao Yunxiao commented, “For now, just keep an eye on her. We can discuss further when the Director arrives.’
“Alright.’
Quickly, Shen Nanfeng’s figure started to approach from afar.
The array etched in his hand even seemed to gain a deeper essence.
“Director!”
Zhao Yunxiao stepped forward to greet him and quickly reported the current situation.
“What?” Even Shen Nanfeng was slightly taken aback, “Are you saying that an ordinary human who was possessed by the Lord of the Black Sun has now acquired the profession of the latter?”
“Soul Sucking Demoness… wait, wasn’t the Soul Sucking Demoness supposed to be part of the Different Races? Since when did it become a profession?”
Zhao Yunxiao gave a bitter smile, “I’m unsure as well, I suspect it has something to do with the Legacy Crystals from the great calamity period three hundred years ago.”
“Legacy Crystal is what……Hmm…’
Shen Nanfeng subconsciously stopped speaking, he coughed lightly and said, “Well, let’s leave Song Zhaoyu here for now. We must investigate her condition thoroughly.”
“Whether this is the Lord of the Black Sun’s final scheme or a true random occurrence, we’ll be able to investigate thoroughly!”
Zhao Yunxiao inquired, “Director, are you planning to use ‘Mind Probe’?”
“Mm-hmm.”
Shen Nanfeng nodded, “In a few days, four of our Night Watchman colleagues from Jin City will be visiting Chang’an City for official business. One of them is a spiritual mystic practitioner, we can have him perform the Mind Probe technique on Song Zhaoyu.”
Zhao Yunxiao made a weird face, “Again, four people? Why does it seem like people from Jin City always carry out tasks in groups of four? Other Night Watchman branches usually send three people per task.”
“I know the answer to that.” Shen Nanfeng shrugged, “There is a rumor that people from Jin City are very hospitable. Every time they meet someone new, they always ask if they have eaten yet, and what they ate, each question is asked by a different person.”
“Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks, exactly four meals a day, so they always have four people whenever they need to carry out tasks.”
“I’ve even heard that if they can’t gather four people together, they’d rather not go…”
“This kind of habit…” Zheng Cheng couldn’t help but twitch his lips, “Really…
genuine.”
“Zheng Cheng, right? You did well just now.” Shen Nanfeng looked at Zheng Cheng again, nodding in approval, “The technique you used was able to constantly entangle the main soul of the Lord of the Black Sun, allowing me to keep up with her.”
“Otherwise, once the main soul of the Lord of the Black Sun manages to escape, we would be in big trouble!”
Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “But she was dying anyway, even if she runs away, she would still only have one or two years left, at most.”
“One or two years…”
Shen Nanfeng shook his head, “For some powerful beings who are at death’s door, once they realize they cannot extend their lifespan, no one knows what crazy thing they might do.”
“Either they undertake an epic-level breakthrough task and become an epic-level powerhouse.”
“Or, they wait for their lifespan to run out and meet their end!”
“By the way..” Shen Nanfeng continued, “It’s already late now, we should stop here for today, you should all go and rest.”
“You did very well this time, your merits will be officially recorded, what reward would you like?”
Zheng Cheng immediately said, “I want a healing skill book! ”
“Most of the skills I currently possess are debuff and attack skills, I’m worried that the upcoming Priest’s breakthrough task might involve healing tasks…”
“Breakthrough task?” Shen Nanfeng nodded, “The initial breakthrough tasks for the Priest profession are indeed primarily healing-based.”
He remembered, “Didn’t one of your initial skills cause diarrhea, how did you complete your breakthrough task?”
Zhao Yunxiao made a strange face, “Director, I know that. It’s like this, he…”
Soon, Shen Nanfeng shook his head with a laugh, “In all the years I’ve lived, this is the first time I’ve seen someone use such a method to complete a breakthrough task.”
“You really are…”
After ruminating awhile, he could only utter the word, “a Genius.”
“Hehe, thank you for the praise.”
Zheng Cheng grinned, “I didn’t have a choice you know, so of course I had to ask you, Director, to teach me a few healing skills.”
Based on the evolution of his Void Flame Technique, learning healing techniques would definitely cause some kind of mutation.
But it shouldn’t be too far-fetched, right?
Sacrificial Flame is considered an attack skill.
The mutated Void Flame Technique also counts as a mutated attack skill.
If he were to learn healing techniques, he might end up mutating into a healing skill!
Shen Nanfeng interjected, “Your situation reminds me of a new Night
Watchman member who was just recruited in Beijing this year.”
“Her technique is as strange as yours, and she’s a little girl too-” Zheng Cheng’s eyes sparkled, “A strange technique? What technique?” Could it be a mutant technique too?
Shen Nanfeng laughed, “Want to know? Wait until you pass the profession examination and see for yourself in Beijing!”
Zhao Yunxiao also added, “That reminds me, Zheng Cheng, Zhixue, the entrance examination for new professionists is in half a month.. Which university are you planning to apply to?”
