Chapter 62: B-rank Profession Advancement, Flame Envoy!

Sometimes, the absence of prophecy itself was a kind of prophecy.

Because, whether the Prophet had already made a prophecy but could not reveal it, or the future was shrouded in mist with not a shred of hope in sight…

Both were enough to prove the terror of “Doomsday” and the “World Destroyer.”

The students’ excitement cooled down a little, as they realized this was not an entrance exam, but a true preparation for doomsday.

Zhong Honglian clapped her hands, restoring silence to the conference hall, and everyone turned to look at her.

“The situation, you all already understand.”

“Right now it is five thirty in the afternoon. In half an hour, there will be a combat test.”

“We will decide your following training squads and training programs according to your test performance and overall energy level.”

“In this battle, you are permitted to use Transcendent items, no more than three in total… go back and rest, prepare yourselves.”

After speaking, Zhong Honglian nodded to the black-eyed youth beside her.

The youth made no move, but the boys and girls in the conference hall instantly vanished, leaving no trace.

Only Jiang He and Chi Zhilei remained in the hall.

Zhong Honglian looked over, smiled, and said: “Jiang He, let me introduce you. This is the Mayor of Central State, Chi Zhenshan.”

The burly man, like a tower, extended a palm like a fan: “Student Jiang He, I suffered some injuries a few days ago, so I did not get the chance to greet you.”

“Hello, Mayor!” Jiang He quickly extended his hand, feeling as if he were gripping a block of iron.

Chi Zhenshan laughed: “You and Zhilei are classmates. Just call me Uncle Chi.”

“Yes, Jiang He, you know, this is my dad.” Chi Zhilei leaned in, her face full of smiles.

Just earlier, as a mere D-rank Talent Awakened, she had felt extremely nervous among a crowd of prodigies. Now that everyone had left, she finally let out a breath of relief.

Jiang He said: “Hello, Uncle Chi.”

In White Crane’s timeline, Chi Zhenshan had fallen in energy level due to severe injuries and had even lost an S-rank item, so the Council had pursued accountability against him…

Clearly, because of the Doomsday Declaration, the Council had changed its stance and had not abandoned this top-tier A-rank combat strength.

The future had changed drastically.

He wondered if the next time White Crane appeared, he would even recognize him…

After Jiang He finished greeting Chi Zhenshan, Zhong Honglian continued: “This is an A-rank Transcendent from Jiang City, You Chunsheng.”

“He, like you, is also an S-rank talent holder, and a rare spatial-type talent.”

“The Council arranged for him to come and temporarily deal with the Abyss of Demons. Although he did not completely close it, he delayed the capture of Central State City.”

“Next, he will serve as a training instructor, stationed long-term in Central State, to provide training grounds for the students…”

As Zhong Honglian introduced him, You Chunsheng lowered his eyes, lazily nodding, looking listless and dispirited.

Jiang He, however, froze slightly.

If he remembered correctly, in White Crane’s timeline, in February 2030, Central State City had experienced the 【Cube Incident】.

An S-rank Transcendent with spatial talent had gone berserk, cutting the entire Central State City into countless cubic blocks, creating a massacre…

One had to know, S-rank talents were rare to begin with, let alone rare spatial talents.

Adding the condition of being a “high-level Transcendent,” it was almost unique in the whole world.

This You Chunsheng—was he the very Transcendent madman White Crane had spoken of, who in some incident developed a mental disorder, turning self-destructive and anti-social?

And he was to be the next training instructor???

Realizing this, Jiang He’s pupils shrank, and his heartbeat quickened.

You Chunsheng keenly sensed something unusual.

He lifted his eyelids and suddenly appeared before Jiang He, leaning close, carefully observing the boy in front of him.

“You… know me?”

“……”

The sudden appearance startled Jiang He.

He did not reply, but his heartbeat could not help but quicken.

Because the youth before him was someone unafraid of life or death, even actively committing suicide as sacrifice, merely to trigger his talent rampage, a man who would “martyr himself” to fulfill his personal obsession—a true “Transcendent lunatic”!

“You are afraid of me.”

You Chunsheng tilted his head.

“When you heard my name, you had no reaction.”

“When you heard my talent, your heartbeat accelerated.”

“You don’t know me, yet you know my talent? And you are afraid of me? You…”

You Chunsheng spoke sentence by sentence, his pupils reflecting Jiang He’s face, as if trying to see through him.

Just as he drew closer and closer, his nose about to touch Jiang He’s, two palms pressed down on his shoulders almost simultaneously.

Chi Zhenshan frowned: “You Chunsheng, are you intimidating a child?”

Zhong Honglian said: “Instructor You, this is my student.”

Sensing the pressure from behind him—

You Chunsheng vanished, reappearing at the other end of the conference hall.

“Forget it. Doomsday is approaching. Whatever secrets you have, it doesn’t matter.”

“Principal Zhong, Mayor Chi, the task here is finished. I’m going to Dachang City to pick someone up.”

Before his words faded, You Chunsheng disappeared.

The two looked at the spot where he vanished, frowning slightly, before turning back.

“Jiang He?”

“Are you alright?”

Seeing the concern on their faces—

Jiang He shook his head and said: “I’m fine.”

In fact, he had not reacted too strongly just now, merely recalling White Crane’s words, which had quickened his heartbeat somewhat.

But in front of a true A-rank Transcendent, even the slightest nervousness would be easily noticed as abnormal.

No wonder White Crane had refused to tell him too much. When low-level Transcendents faced high-level Transcendents, they were almost completely transparent, unable to hide from such acute perception.

Just like now—even without deliberately observing, Zhong Honglian and Chi Zhenshan both sensed Jiang He’s heartbeat gradually returning to normal, his emotions calming down.

Chi Zhenshan did not care about You Chunsheng’s earlier words. He smiled and patted Jiang He’s shoulder.

“As long as you’re fine. Instructor You’s personality is like this. Even within the Council, his popularity is rather low. You don’t need to take it to heart.”

Zhong Honglian also said: “You are my student. He wouldn’t dare do anything to you.”

She, on the other hand, could guess Jiang He’s earlier abnormal reaction probably stemmed from something that white-haired Transcendent had told him before…

But she didn’t care much, instead speaking: “You have already met the basic requirements for profession advancement. I’ll help you advance to Flame Envoy.”

Jiang He nodded, withdrawing his thoughts.

Although a Transcendent lunatic was serving as an instructor, this was arranged by the Council, and he had no way to change it.

As for quitting the training—there was no way.

Not to mention the Council had provided so many resources, Jiang He himself was deeply tempted.

Just the righteous cause of 【Doomsday Approaching】 was something he could not refuse.

He certainly could not stand up and declare: I am actually the World Destroyer, the Doomsday Declaration was just me messing around earlier, there’s no real doomsday, everyone go home, wash up, and sleep…

So, Jiang He could only stay vigilant, letting Old Jiang pay more attention.

Fortunately, You Chunsheng was not the only instructor. Zhong Honglian and Chi Zhenshan, these two top-tier A-rank Transcendents, were the true leaders of the Central State training.

Jiang He steadied his mindset, and following Zhong Honglian, completed the Advancement Ritual.

Just like with the 【Word Keeper】 before, as long as the level requirements of the prerequisite profession were met, plus the cooperation of the profession creator, the rest was only a formality.

Easily, he completed his second profession advancement.
