Chapter 454: Trial of Knowledge
Under the Lake Tower, Zhao Caiwei, the president of Jiangcheng University, encouraged everyone as usual before the opening ceremony.
This time, the Lake Tower is still only open to the school team's starting lineup and is activated by extremely high-purity energy crystals.
However, Su Hao guessed that a large part of the energy of this energy crystal was probably coveted by the Three Lakes God and used it as the energy source for his own projection.
"Don't stay in there for another month~"
"Last time it was the tenth floor. I bet you can pass the fifth floor in this half month~"
He could hear the teasing voices of his teammates, but Su Hao could also see the solemnity and pressure that could not be hidden in their eyes.
Even though he often hangs out outside, during the few times he is at school, he can often see Li Xiao next door going out early and coming back late. Even Lin Ke, who Su Hao often sees dating him, has consciously reduced the number of times they meet.
As the trump card on the surface, Li Xiao's goal of securing five and competing for three puts a lot of pressure on Li Xiao.
Mu Yao, the captain of the auxiliary jammer team, often discussed tactics with Su Hao on the chat software to understand the combat habits of Su Hao's Pokémon so as to arrange for corresponding auxiliary Pokémon to conduct targeted training.
Everyone was working hard. Although Su Hao was confident that he had no chance of losing the game, he was still incited by their emotions and became more active in training.
After all, the contents of the second and third trials he had to face were all unknown. At least the last time he was teleported to a Pokémon world where the strength of the heroes was much stronger than that of the villains.
What if he was teleported to some ultimate metropolis, the Outer Orei region, or even the base camp of dark matter this time?
Su Hao was preparing for the worst-case scenario, and some pessimistic thoughts flashed through his mind. However, he knew clearly that this trial was closely related to Arceus, and he probably would not send him to die.
As Hu Di, who was good at the power of space, once again sacrificed energy crystals to the Lake Tower in a mysterious ceremony, a buzzing sound like a dusk bell resounded throughout the island.
The teleportation array under the feet of the nine people began to operate. With a familiar feeling of dizziness and weightlessness, Su Hao's eyes were dazzled, and he once again appeared in the magnificent space where he had stayed briefly after completing the first trial.
However, what appeared in front of him this time was no longer the blue mushroom head of Aknom, but another yellow mushroom-headed lake god.
Uxie's small gray body floated in mid-air, her two tails with a ruby on each end swaying slightly, and her yellow cheeks inlaid with rubies faced Su Hao.
Even though its eyes were narrowed and not open, Su Hao could feel that it was staring at him.
Uxie is known as the God of Knowledge, and is said to have the power to erase the memories of those who meet his eyes, so he keeps his eyes squinted or tightly closed, which fully explains the saying that squinting eyes are monsters.
"The second trial is a trial of knowledge...?"
This thought popped into Su Hao's mind the moment he saw You Kexi.
The Trial of Will tested one's willpower during the crisis of the original tree of the world, so what will the Trial of Knowledge test oneself?
Recite 300 Tang poems from memory?
How to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100?
What is 1+1 equal to?
You Kexi was not surprised by Su Hao's arrival, as if he had known in advance that Su Hao would arrive at this time.
"You are here, Trialist."
His voice was almost the same as that of Aknom, but his tone was different and his speaking speed was slow.
Su Hao nodded slightly and responded: "I'm here to take part in the trial, Uxie, the God of Knowledge."
Yukshi's voice was neither sad nor happy, and was more rational than Akonom, the god of will: "Are you ready?"
Su Hao didn't understand why Yukxi didn't just throw him into the trial, but instead had to communicate with him. He said in a joking tone: "I said I'm not ready, can it be postponed?"
Uxie shook her head and said: "No, there is not much time left before that guy's remains wake up."
"You need to complete the trial as soon as possible. Then the sealed Pokémon eggs in the Stone Gate Ruins will hatch, and the Pokémon of Benlei will help you."
Su Hao: “???”
"The Pokémon of Thunder?"
Su Hao's voice was filled with disbelief. Speaking of the Thunder Pokémon...
Isn't that Zeraora?
Unfortunately, Yoshi didn't seem to have the desire to talk too much. He just said in a heavy tone: "I look forward to you using your wisdom to change the inevitable death situation in the trial of knowledge."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Hao's eyes blurred and he heard the familiar sound of gears turning again.
This time he was no longer in a dark space. The gears emitting faint emerald green light and the gears emitting azure blue light were still meshing and running as if endlessly. A mysterious power was flowing through the gears.
This time, Su Hao noticed that he had more time to stay in the space and could look around.
Focusing his attention on the gears that emitted azure light, the system lived up to Su Hao's expectations and reflected the information of the gears.
[The Gear of Time: A gear that possesses the power of Dialga, the God of Time, and has the wonderful power to control or influence time and stabilize the operation of time]
Su Hao didn't have time to be surprised, and once again cast his gaze on the gear emitting emerald green light.
[Sky Gear: A gear that possesses the power of Palkia, the God of Space. It has the wonderful power to control or influence space and stabilize the operation of space]
At this point, how could Su Hao not understand how he was sent to the Pokémon world.
It turns out that it was the force of this space-time gear that filled the space that allowed him to travel to a parallel world that did not exist in this universe.
What is the relationship between the three trials and Arceus?
Before Su Hao could think too much, a silent task with the same formula appeared in his field of vision.
[Test 2: Trial of Knowledge]
[Time limit: 336H]
[Reward: Proof of Knowledge]
Su Hao: "............."
It’s the same recipe, but with a slight difference and an additional time limit.
"336H...that's just half a month." Su Hao thought silently in his heart.
The time limit generally represents the urgency of the situation. Although it is not as urgent as the 72-hour limit in the original tree of the world, the time limit of nearly half a month also makes Su Hao feel uneasy.
Is this short period of time enough for him to familiarize himself with the environment he is in and find the corresponding problems?
When thinking about philosophy, it seemed that time was running out, and the gears in front of Su Hao suddenly glowed with extremely dazzling light.
Su Hao knew that this meant that the power of the two gods of time and space was at work.
The next moment, there was a flash of light, and Su Hao's figure disappeared again from this space full of time and space gears.
