Chapter 456
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 open only to the school team, and it is activated by a very pure energy crystal.
However, Su Hao guessed that a large part of the energy of this energy crystal was probably coveted by the Three Lake Gods and used as the energy source for his own projection.
"Don't stay in there for another month~"
"Last time it was ten floors, I bet you can pass five floors in this half month~"
The teasing voices of teammates came to his ears, but Su Hao could also see the solemnity and pressure in their eyes.
Even though he often hangs out outside, he can often see Li Xiao next door going out early and returning late when he is at school. 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, the goal of maintaining the fifth place and striving for the third place puts a lot of pressure on Li Xiao.
Mu Yao, the captain of the auxiliary jammer, often discussed tactics with Su Hao on the chat software, and learned about the combat habits of Su Hao's Pokémon so that he could arrange the corresponding auxiliary Pokémon for targeted training.
Everyone was working hard. Although Su Hao was confident that he would not lose the game he played, he was still aroused by their emotions and trained more actively.
After all, the content of the second and third trials he had to face was all unknown. The last time he was teleported to a Pokémon world where the strength of the positive side was much stronger than that of the villain.
What if he was teleported to some Ultimate Megalopolis, the Outer Legend Orei region, or even the base camp of dark matter this time?
Preparing for the worst case scenario, some pessimistic fantasies flashed through Su Hao's mind. However, he actually knew that this trial was closely related to Arceus, and he probably would not send himself to die.
As Alakazam, who was good at spatial power, once again sacrificed the energy crystal to the Lake Tower in a mysterious ceremony, a buzzing sound like a dusk bell resounded throughout the island.
The teleportation array under the nine people began to operate. With a familiar feeling of dizziness and weightlessness, Su Hao's eyes blurred and he appeared again in the magnificent space where he had stayed for a short time after completing the first trial.
However, this time, it was no longer the blue mushroom head of Akonom that appeared in front of him, but another yellow mushroom head lake god.
Yuxi's small gray body floated in the air, and its two tails with a ruby at the end swayed slightly, and its yellow cheeks inlaid with rubies were facing Su Hao.
Even if its eyes were squinting and not open, Su Hao could feel that he was looking at him.
Yuxi is called the God of Knowledge. It is said that he has the power to erase the memory of those who meet his eyes, so he always squints or closes his eyes, which fully interprets the saying that squinting eyes are monsters.
"Is the second trial a trial of knowledge..."
This thought popped up in Su Hao's mind the moment he saw Yuxi.
The Trial of Will tested his willpower during the crisis of the World's Origin Tree, so what will the Trial of Knowledge test him about?
Recite 300 Tang poems?
Calculate addition, subtraction, multiplication and division within 100?
1+1 equals to what?
Yuxi was not surprised by Su Hao's arrival, as if he had known in advance that Su Hao would come at this time.
"You are here, trialer."
His voice was almost the same as Akonom's, but the tone was different and the speed was slow.
Su Hao nodded slightly and responded: "I'm here to take part in the trial, God of Knowledge Yukshi."
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 Yukshi didn't just throw him into the trial, but instead had to communicate with him. He said in a teasing tone: "I said I'm not ready, can it be postponed?"
Yukshi shook his head and said: "No, there's not much time left before the remains of that guy wake up."
"You need to complete the trial as soon as possible. By then, the sealed Pokémon eggs in the Stone Gate Ruins will hatch, and the Pokémon of Thunder will help you."
Su Hao: "???"
"The Pokémon of Thunder?"
Su Hao's voice was filled with a hint of disbelief. Speaking of the Pokémon of Thunder...
Isn't that Zeraora?
Unfortunately, Yuxi didn't seem to want to talk more, and just said in a heavy tone: "I am looking forward to you using your wisdom to change the dead end in the Trial of Knowledge."
After he finished speaking, Su Hao's eyes blurred, and the familiar sound of gears turning came to his ears again.
This time he was no longer in a dark space. The gears emitting a faint emerald green light and the gears emitting a blue light were still engaging and running as if there was no end. The wonderfulPower flows through the gears.
This time, Su Hao realized that he had more time to stay in the space and could observe the surroundings.
Focusing his attention on the gears emitting azure light, the system did not disappoint Su Hao and reflected the information of the gears.
[Gear of Time: A gear with the power of the God of Time, Dialga, which has the wonderful power to control or influence time and stabilize the operation of time]
Su Hao did not have time to be surprised and cast his eyes on the gears emitting emerald green light again.
[Gear of Space: A gear with the power of the God of Space, Palkia, which 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 turned out that it was the power of the gears in this space-time that made him go 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, the same silent task with the same formula appeared in his field of vision.
[Test 2: Trial of Knowledge]
[Time limit: 336 hours]
[Reward: Proof of knowledge]
Su Hao: “.................”
The same formula, but with a slight difference, there is an additional time limit.
“336 hours… that’s half a month.” Su Hao thought silently in his heart.
Time limits generally represent the urgency of the situation. Although it is not as urgent as the 72-hour limit of the World’s Beginning Tree, the time limit of nearly half a month also makes Su Hao feel uneasy.
Is this enough time for him to explore and familiarize himself with the environment he is in, and then find the corresponding problem?
When thinking of philosophy, it seems that the time limit has been reached, and the gears in front of Su Hao suddenly emit an extremely dazzling light.
Su Hao knows that this means that the power of the twin gods of time and space is taking effect.
The next moment, a flash of light appeared, and Su Hao’s figure disappeared again from this space full of time and space gears.
