Infinite Professions

Chapter 467: Chapter 239: Strength

"There are quite a few promising candidates this time."

"Did Brother Zhou recommend them?"

"Harmonious balance of strength and softness, Dragon Tiger Mechanism, not bad, not bad."

"My goodness, fighting so poorly and yet daring to participate in the special recruitment competition?"

"Dragon and Tiger in harmony, Golden Core Seventh Transformation, somewhat rushed; if they were to consolidate further, they could undoubtedly achieve the Eighth Transformation."

"The highest Golden Core is the Ninth Transformation, Seventh is a bit lacking, but not bad. If it doesn’t work out, just scatter and reform in the future."

"Recommending such a talent, Brother Lu has really hit the jackpot this time."

"Not at all..."

Within the Secret Realm, in the void, strands of divine intent converged, watching this grand competition.

It was precisely the teachers of Xingyi Martial Mansion.

In various academies, although they have permanent study systems, without the concept of graduation, students won’t always maintain their student status. After a certain period or reaching a certain level of cultivation, they will be sent out or promoted to teachers, taking on teaching duties and earning academy points.

Among them, teachers are the most favored, after all, they can stay directly in the academy.

But the requirements are also the highest; even the lowest assistant lecturer requires a Tier Seven cultivation level, because only at Tier Seven can one refine divine intent and control certain facilities to conduct teaching work. For instance, without forming divine intent, they can’t even enter the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, let alone teach.

A group of teachers, divine intent flowing, checked on the duels in various places through the special rules of the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, aided by the "Divine Martial Celestial Secret," making related records.

At this moment...

"Hmm!?"

"This kid, quite audacious."

"Just entered the Secret Realm, immediately started slaughtering, a bit impatient."

"Luo Lie, is he from the Silver Moon Star Luo Family?"

"Oh, from the War God Luo Family?"

"Correct, the profession of War God from the Luo Family is extremely adept in battle, with characteristics like ’the more you fight, the stronger you become.’ This kid started fighting as soon as he entered the Secret Realm, stacking combat power to overwhelm others in a snowballing manner, aiming for the final victory."

"Old Luo, what is your relationship with this little one?"

"The policy of ’the more you fight, the stronger you become’ is great, but this kind of battle power stacking should be against opponents of the same level or even stronger, right? Isn’t he afraid of hitting an iron wall and failing miserably?"

"Hmph, this kid must have some means to sense opponents’ cultivation. When he encountered a Tier Seven earlier, he just fled and only dealt with Tier Five and Six. With his strength, even if he’s not a match, he can retreat unscathed; a disaster seems unlikely."

"Youngsters today have such cunning minds..."

In the void, in the intangible domain, several teachers were focused on Luo Lie’s actions.

Luo Lie, however, was unaware, still searching for opponents.

He hailed from the War God Luo Family, inheriting the War God profession, which not only boosts combat power through fighting but also senses battle power, searches for opponents, thanks to the Professional Effect, where ordinary stealth methods can’t block it.

With this, he was extremely confident in being among the top in this special recruitment competition.

"Hmph, only entering university at Tier Seven while concealing cultivation and playing the trick of a wolf in sheep’s clothing, truly shameless."

"But fortunately, I also have my methods. Once I stack up my battle power, let’s see how you keep up that act!"

Recalling the earlier encounter with that Tier Seven opponent, Luo Lie’s heart turned cold, his pace quickened as he reached a valley.

Using the power of the War God profession, he could clearly sense within the valley, an opponent with cultivation similar to his, worthy of a battle.

"Become my combat power!"

Luo Lie dashed into the valley, battle spirit ablaze, aura fierce.

However...

"You are not my opponent, leave now."

The calm words and indifferent demeanor deeply provoked him.

Luo Lie’s eyes turned cold, a rage rising in his brow.

He thought himself arrogant enough, not expecting this person to be even more so.

Both were at Tier Six, on what basis was the other so brazen?

Luo Lie was furious, his battle spirit intensified, immediately using Primordial Skill, Heavenly Gang Sha thundered forth.

"Roar!!!"

A roaring blast was heard, Heavenly Gang Sha took shape, the White Tiger roared furiously, its power unmatched.

Celestial Spirit Battle Qi!

It was the Luo Clan’s unique skill, based on the advanced Xingyi Divine Martial "White Tiger Battle Scripture," integrated with the power of the War God profession, refined into an advanced divine gang, its power far surpassing ordinary White Tiger Sha.

"Roar!!!"

As Luo Lie’s battle spirit ignited, Celestial Spirit Battle Qi emerged like a tiger, though at Tier Six Sha, it faintly displayed the might of Tier Seven Divine Intent.

However...

His opponent’s expression unchanged, gaze steady, body and steps unmoved, merely raised a hand, flipping a palm to strike.

"Boom!!!"

Instantly, the void trembled, Earth Qi surged, coupled with the Dragon Subduing Palm Skill, suppressed as if a mountain.

Xingyi Dragon Subduing Skill!

Mountain Suppressing Technique!

Xingyi Dragon Subduing, human force supreme.

Mountain Suppressing, Heaven and Earth’s majestic power.

Such a strike...

"Boom!!!"

The form of the White Tiger instantly shattered, Celestial Spirit Battle Qi ruthlessly crushed.

The Dragon Subduing Palm, unstoppable, shattered the opponent’s Sha, struck the enemy’s body heavily.

"Bang!!!"

Taking the hit, Luo Lie’s body surface flickered with light, faint alpha shape, clearly a protective treasure.

"Pfft!!!"

Even with protective armor, it couldn’t resist the unmatched palm skill, causing him to spit fresh blood, his body propelled outward like a cannonball out of the valley.

His body was blasted out, skimming a hundred meters before slowing down; Luo Lie forced True Yuan to manifest into white light, swiftly darting away, leaving behind three words.

"You win!!!"

As the white light flashed, the fierce tiger fled, Luo Lie dared not linger, even used some escape items, darting a hundred miles away before falling from the void.

"Pfft!!!"

As soon as he landed, revealing his figure, another mouthful of blood spurted out, and he staggered a few steps before stabilizing.

"Damn it, I encountered a monster!"

Luo Lie steadied himself, looked down again, and saw that the Celestial Spirit Armor was shattered, and felt intense pain inside his chest.

Not daring to delay, he immediately took out a few pills and swallowed them, then sat down to regulate his breath.

Capulated in a drain!

He could never have imagined that someone, also a Tier Six Heavenly Gang Sha Martial Artist, would be so terrifying, breaking his Celestial Spirit Battle Qi with just one palm. If it weren’t for the Celestial Spirit Armor protecting him, he might have already been eliminated.

This kind of power, could it really be just Tier Six?

Is my perception flawed?

Or does the opponent have a stronger profession?

Luo Lie couldn’t say for sure.

There’s always someone better, hidden masters everywhere. Although Luo Lie considers himself to be a top figure within the same tier, he acknowledges that there are still monsters beyond normal judgment that surpass him.

However...

"It must be my perception that’s flawed!"

"With such strength, if it’s only Tier Six, they could easily join a super first-class academy or even enter the Divine Martial Celestial Palace. Why bother fishing here in Xingyi Martial Mansion?"

"So, this person must be Tier Seven but has some professional trick to hide their true cultivation, even my [Fighting God]’s combat strength perception couldn’t detect it."

"Damn it, go ahead and mess with me, wait until I stack up my battle strength and see if you still dare to play like this!"

Luo Lie gritted his teeth, circulated his True Yuan quickly to heal his injuries.

He would rather suspect that there was a problem with his Professional Power than accept that the opponent was also Tier Six.

Because in the former case, it’s just a professional difference, which he still has hope of catching up.

As for the latter... how do you chase such a monster?

If they have such power, their profession must be even more terrifying!

Though Luo Lie didn’t say anything, he tended to avoid competing with such a terrifying opponent deep down.

On the other side...

"What happened?"

In the valley, before the stone stele, everyone was startled and looked at Shen Hex.

"Nothing, continue."

Shen Hex shook his head, indicating that nothing had happened.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, everyone did not say much and refocused their attention on the Xingyi Divine Martial Stele.

"..."

"..."

"..."

This scene had several people in the void falling silent.

After a long time, someone finally spoke: "What method did he use?"

"Dragon Subduing Skill?"

"Not just that!"

"The Celestial Spirit Battle Qi of the Luo Clan is an advanced technique of the White Tiger Battle Scripture, whereas the Dragon Subduing Skill is just a basic version of the Xingyi Divine Martial Scripture, not even comparable to the White Tiger Battle Scripture. How can it contend with the Luo Clan’s Celestial Spirit Battle Qi?"

"In that strike earlier, he significantly mobilized the Power of Heaven and Earth!"

"A Tier Six Heavenly Gang Sha Martial Artist can only guide Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Qi into their body to refine themselves. To significantly mobilize the Power of Heaven and Earth, one must reach Tier Seven and cultivate Divine Intent!"

"Did he... hide his cultivation?"

"Celestial Secret, call up the registration information of that student."

The few exchanged words, then tacitly looked up, using teacher privileges to summon the Divine Martial Celestial Secret.

Soon, the light converged to form a panel.

Shen Hex

Place of Origin: Yunlan Star (Cangnan Star Realm)

Registered Cultivation: Tier Six.

Registered Profession: Celestial Traveler (Tier Four).

Registered Item: Communication Device.

...

"Really Tier Six?"

"Celestial Traveler?"

"Only brought a communication device?"

"Could it be cheating?"

Looking at the registration information summoned by the Divine Martial Celestial Secret, several people frowned, more bewildered and uncertain.

"Cangnan Star Realm, wasn’t it a remote star realm only developed over a thousand years ago?"

"Yunlan Star, never heard of it."

"Is there a renowned Shen Clan in the Cangnan Star Realm?"

"Breaking Luo Lie’s Celestial Spirit Battle Qi with one palm, if it’s Tier Seven, that’s acceptable, Tier Six..."

"Celestial Traveler, a profession relying on the Power of Righteous Law of Heaven and Earth?"

"This Celestial Traveler should have no effect on Luo Lie. If he’s not cheating, then there must be other professions."

"Not just professions, his foundation far exceeds Luo Lie’s, at least reaching the Golden Core Ninth Transformation, where the Dragon and Tiger power converge. Otherwise, his Dragon Subduing Palm Skill couldn’t have such power."

"Moreover, the method of mobilizing the Power of Heaven and Earth is probably beyond ordinary Divine Intent; he must have cultivated extremely powerful Refining Spirit methods and techniques."

"Such strength, if there’s no cheating, is quite frightening."

"He could have taken down Luo Lie completely but didn’t pursue, seemingly very confident, wanting to bide his time for a higher score."

"Check who recommended him for special admission."

"Teng Qinglong?"

"This..."
