Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 73 The Awakening of the Wisdom Tree

Chapter 1 Psychological Testing

Psychological testing had nothing to do with Su Zhou; others would vouch for him. Of course, if Su Zhou himself wanted to try it, it was no problem. Professor Zhang Fucheng specially brought a set of test papers for him to look at.

"Isn't this just the most basic moral character test?"

After a quick glance, Su Zhou didn't feel anything was wrong. It wasn't particularly different from the various personality tests circulating on the internet, except for the subtle sense of disharmony emanating from the entire test paper...

"Huh." Su Zhou made a soft sound of surprise. He had discovered something and looked up curiously. "This test paper has some magical effect?"

"You can see that?" Zhang Fucheng raised his head in surprise, his eyes filled with amazement and anticipation. "It seems your 'spiritual vision talent' is also very good... Not bad. This paper is called 'Heart-Testing Paper.' Like litmus paper, it produces two different spiritual energy reactions when it comes into contact with pleasant and contrary emotions. Afterward, as long as you take the test paper back and observe it with spiritual energy, you can see at a glance which questions were lied about and which were answered truthfully."

Originally, this kind of paper was used by ancient sects when selecting disciples. Now, it was used for psychological testing.

Su Zhou also curiously chose some options on the test paper. In his vision, the choices he wrote indeed emitted different colors. For example, for the question, 'If you possessed extraordinary power, what would you do when faced with a theft on the bus?', he chose 'Stand idly by.'

As a result, a huge black halo appeared in everyone's spiritual vision, flickering around his handwriting, completely illustrating how different his choice was from his actual thoughts.

"That's a bit interesting." Su Zhou was quite moved—the path of transcendence was not just about fighting; there were many other unique aspects.

That was roughly it. After exchanging a few words with Principal Qiu and Professor Zhang about the upcoming physical examination, Su Zhou returned to the class under the guidance of the class teacher, waiting for the classmates to return one by one after the test.

The physical fitness test was scheduled before New Year's Day, while the spiritual energy test would be conducted simultaneously with the Holy Ascension Selection Test. There was still plenty of time.

"As for Qiming, I don't need to worry. As long as his values are normal and he's not an anti-social personality, he basically can't be screened out."

"On the contrary, if I want to reach the critical point of transcendence before the physical test, I need to think about it."

Sitting in his seat, Su Zhou looked up at the ceiling of the classroom, lost in thought. "If it's simply advancing with Sacred Geometry, I can do it now. But neither Yala nor I want to be so conventional."

"Recently, my transcendental knowledge has been sufficient to understand the 'Controlling the Five Extremes Divine Thunder True Method'. I can use the Thunder Spirit Method within it, use the wood energy of the Tree of Wisdom to strengthen my soul, and replace a part of the Sacred Geometry's mysteries, allowing me to walk a path similar to Yala, but not the same."

Although, now it was just cutting, splicing, and borrowing the inheritance of others, but instead of choosing a well-defined path that would lead to glory, he was choosing a rugged road of the unknown.

Making this choice indeed required courage and confidence.

"But only by choosing this, can I be me—and I don't want to become a long strip coiled together!"

Thinking of the ouroboros phantom that Yala had shown him during the covenant process, Su Zhou couldn't help but nod, then shake his head. That was indeed powerful, but it didn't fit his aesthetics at all!

Coming back to his senses, Su Zhou saw Shao Qiming walking into the classroom with a smile, giving him a thumbs up. The psychological test didn't seem to cause him any trouble.

Su Zhou also smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Thinking about it carefully, compared to a guy like him with possibly some problems with his thinking, Shao Qiming's values were definitely normal, so there was no need to worry at all.

Wait... was he really normal?

For some reason, Su Zhou suddenly recalled some memory fragments...

When he said he wanted to deal harshly with all kinds of criminals, especially human traffickers, Shao Qiming's answer seemed to be [Remember to make it miserable, sprinkle chili on the wounds before they die.]

And when he swore that he would grind the bones of those vile transcendent Tang family members into ash and throw them into the Nanjiang River, Shao Qiming also nodded in agreement [I support you, let them all feed the fish!]

Maybe... Shao Qiming's personality wasn't as harmless as he thought?

But this didn't matter. As the saying goes, one takes on the traits of one's company. Su Zhou quickly put it behind him, feeling a little regretful in his heart. "Oh right, I forgot to burn those three transcendent Tang family members into ash and throw them into the Nanjiang River to feed the fish."

"But it doesn't matter, the corpses of ghost summoners have such heavy yin energy, the fish will get sick from eating them! It's not good to harm innocent lives."

As more and more students finished the test, the class became lively. Because they already knew the details of the psychological test in the auditorium, everyone wasn't surprised that Su Zhou didn't have to participate—everyone had taken spiritual energy class with Su Zhou, who didn't know his talent?

The familiar classmates next to him were also curiously running over to ask Su Zhou what he had been doing just now, and Su Zhou smiled and answered them one by one, glossing over it.

Soon, the day passed. After the test, there were normal lessons. High school students didn't have much time to gossip—rather than worrying about what others were doing, it was better to improve their grades first.

Because of the heavy snow outside, the frequency of buses was reduced, making it really difficult to squeeze on. Su Zhou hitched a ride in Shao Qiming's car all the way home.

In the car, he also told Shao Qiming about the details of the upcoming physical fitness test and spiritual energy test, and also passed on the cultivation method of the Qinggong (light body skill) 'Thousand Mile Journey' he obtained from the Divine Wood World to the other party.

As for the Gangshe (just shooting) method, forget it. Although Shao Qiming's body had recovered a lot, he was still far from being able to draw a bow and shoot arrows.

And Shao Qiming also handed two small boxes to Su Zhou.

Without opening them, he also knew what was inside.

One was a transparent cyan jadeite, and the other was a box of jade powder that had already been ground.

These were all ritual materials that Su Zhou had asked the other party to find some time ago. Because Su Zhou had high requirements, it really cost a lot of money and time to find suitable raw materials.

But this wasn't much.

Although with the resurgence of spiritual energy, the extraordinary effects of many gemstones had gradually been discovered, leading to the rising prices of gemstones on the entire international market, Su Zhou was very clear that most ordinary ritual or spell materials could be replaced with artificial gemstones.

Only those rituals with the highest requirements, such as his advancement ritual, required perfect natural gemstones, or perfect artificial gemstones that had been immersed in the earth's ley lines for a period of time.

The current rise in gemstone prices was just a bubble, and would fall within a month or two at most—of course, before that, it was enough for Shao Qiming to invest a sum in advance and make a quick buck before the stock market fell.

The money spent before could be earned back several times over.

And for Su Zhou, these kinds of investment opportunities were everywhere.

Knowledge is wealth!

Taking the materials, Su Zhou returned home, and his life returned to normal again, starting a happy and fulfilling life of learning knowledge at school during the day and learning extraordinary knowledge at home at night—learning made him happy.

And this happiness continued until a few days later, when the spirit of the Tree of Wisdom in his soul space finally woke up from its slumber.

"Lala~"

One could faintly hear the simple and happy sounds from the sapling of the Tree of Wisdom, awakened from the benefits given by the 'Great Will - Tree of the Dao'. Its spirit was far more agile than before, and the light of its leaves gradually transformed from the initial emerald green to a transparent and blazing cyan-white.

Su Zhou communicated with it through his soul, hoping to borrow a part of its wood energy to advance, and the Tree of Wisdom seemed to understand who it owed its opportunity to gain benefits, so it readily agreed.

"Hungry!"

But it also made a request, hoping to get more spiritual liquid to accelerate its growth—now it was like a giant in soul, but a dwarf in body, clearly its spirit had grown and advanced, but its body was still a small potted plant.

"There's no problem, but where will I plant you in the future..."

Although he was a little worried about the future placement of the Tree of Wisdom, this problem could be put aside for the time being. Su Zhou took out the white crystal cup aided by his good friend, and used a silver knife to cut a small opening in the branch of the Tree of Wisdom sapling, and a light cyan wood liquid flowed out.

[Pain, pain, pain——]

Although it made a very painful sound, the spirit of the Tree of Wisdom didn't have much of a reaction, but rather seemed to be trying to gain sympathy. After a few words of comfort and promising benefits, it naturally subsided.

After filling a small cup, about fifty milligrams, Su Zhou used some jade powder to seal the wound on the tree.

As someone who had already eaten the fruit of wisdom, this amount was enough for him to advance, and this bit of wood liquid was also different from the wood energy of the divine tree absorbed by the former National Teacher Demon Emperor. It was the origin of this divine tree of wisdom—of course, this amount wasn't enough to hurt the vitality of the Tree of Wisdom sapling.

And this time, without Yala's instructions, Su Zhou himself had already planned all the steps. The snake spirit was on the side, smiling and watching Su Zhou carefully perform the ritual.

One could see that there was spiritual light flashing on the specially ordered tempered glass plate.

The jade powder, which had been transformed into a translucent solution by a secret method, was mixed with mercury to outline a small magic circle, and the cyan jadeite, which had long been engraved with relevant runes and had stored a large amount of electricity through the modern power grid, was flashing dazzling cyan-blue arcs of electricity in the magic circle.

Su Zhou used Qi Condensation and Object Manipulation to evenly soak the jadeite in the prepared wood liquid.

Immediately, one could see that the entire jadeite gradually transformed into a pure cyan transparent liquid in the flashing spiritual light of the magic circle, and in this liquid, there were tiny currents transforming into scenes of thunder, and clouds of spiritual energy surging within.

"Don't be nervous, everything is going smoothly now."

Self-comfort, calm down, after a few seconds, Su Zhou raised this group of cyan thunder jade liquid, about the size of a fist, with spiritual energy and placed it in front of him.

The jade liquid emitted a fragrance like aloe mixed with mint, making one's soul clear, but it also had a strange stimulating sensation. Gazing at this jade liquid, scenes of winding thunder snakes in the sky and towering divine trees that could grow strong even in the worst environments could even appear in one's mind.

Su Zhou took a deep breath, and then he opened his mouth and swallowed this group of jade liquid!
