Chapter 144: Chapter 105: The Amazing Test of Soul Trait_2
The floor alone, made of True Silver, could probably produce hundreds of thousands of bullets.
The walls and ceiling were made using the very expensive Star Marrow, making this single room extraordinarily valuable.
Mina shouted, "Professor, let’s begin."
The large-bearded man sitting at the far end nodded slightly.
A few young researchers in white coats came over, took Rod from Mina’s hands, thoroughly brushed him from head to toe with a large brush, and emptied everything from his pockets.
The chairperson of the Academy’s three faculties, Miller, and about a dozen teachers watched from the side.
Three individuals wearing nameplates that read "Great Book Library Recorder" used charcoal pencils to rapidly write something on their papers.
Rod felt slightly embarrassed, regretting not having stored his belongings in the Dream Realm beforehand.
After the researchers finished, they led him to a huge crystal disc, gave him half a mouthful of water to hold in his mouth without swallowing.
"Relax," the large-bearded man instructed as Spiritual Light flashed in his hand, activating the detection.
"Do not use any Spiritual Energy, do not use your abilities."
Ripples appeared in the air. The large-bearded man, staring intensely at a crystal panel, said, "You are of the Starfire Series, and you have three Fire Sparks."
A murmur arose among the Academy teachers, many of whom were unaware that Rod had ignited three Fire Sparks.
Knowing that Rod had entered the Academy with only one Fire Spark and had ignited two more in less than two months was indeed very rare.
The Recorders from the Great Book Library sped up their charcoal pencils a bit.
Mina was very happy but also a bit worried, considering how exceptional Rod was, the Academy and the Military War Department might not let him leave, making it difficult for her to have him as her junior disciple.
No!
She clenched her fist, determined to trick Rod into joining her by any means necessary! His scholarly talents must not go to waste!
The detection continued, the ripples growing more intense.
The large-bearded man said, "The first Fire Spark, when its Soul feedback is translated via the Gellman’s Law, the closest sound is ’Scoluscodoso’ in the Majis language, meaning a dim and deep color, with connotations of plundering, devouring, and greediness, literally translating to ’Dim Glutton,’ polished to ’Black Glutton,’ with no significant issues."
Rod almost spit out the water in his mouth.
Forcing himself to speak with water in his mouth, he said, "I think it should be changed to ’Black War God,’ or ’Terrifying Reaper,’ or maybe ’Handsome Man in Black.’"
The large-bearded man said expressionlessly, "Childish, inaccurate, meaningless, rejected, original translation remains unchanged."
Shit.
You guys really are toxic.
Rod had no choice but to shut his mouth.
The ripples in the air boiled up, reaching a critical moment in the detection. The large-bearded man’s face turned solemn, mumbling, "Strange, strange, these fluctuations are too strange."
He almost pressed his eyes against the crystal panel.
"Why would such a waveform appear? Could it be that you are not a Fire Holder, no, that’s impossible."
Rod tensed up, his body stiffening.
But the large-bearded man suddenly looked up and asked, "I heard your Fire Spark gives you very strong Spiritual Vision and a home-field advantage in sewers?"
Even though Rod did not want to admit the latter, he nodded nevertheless.
"Why would that be?"
The large-bearded man seemed puzzled.
"Could there be a connection between the two? Perhaps seeing filth enhances Inspiration? Hmm, that seems somewhat plausible, forcing the unseeable into view might indeed benefit the perceptivity of the soul."
Rod had not even spoken when he figured it out for himself.
"Yes, that’s it. The sewer home-field advantage is your core Law, and the Spiritual Vision is just an additional effect."
The more the large-bearded man thought about it, the more it made sense to him, and he proclaimed loudly:
"The main effect of the ’Black Glutton,’ greatly enhancing adaptability in environments similar to sewers, with an added enhancement in Spiritual Vision, very high Strength, should be classified as a first-class Characteristic."
The teachers gave a small round of applause.
The Recorders’ hands flew across the pages, flipping them furiously.
Mina, seizing the opportunity, shouted, "Keep it up, little Rod, sleep at my place tonight."
The expressions of a few teachers immediately darkened.
"What is Mina doing? Isn’t she old enough to know better?"
"Director, you need to manage these unruly researchers. The academy’s climate has become disturbing recently."
"Exactly, she belongs to the esteemed Scholar Amides. Be careful, they might poach her."
The director didn’t speak, but her tightly pursed lips showed she wasn’t as calm as she appeared on the surface.
"The second Fire Spark."
The bearded man continued:
"After compiling the soul feedback, Bessolas, in Istak language, means ’a blue thing with a peak,’ translated according to the plant atlas as ’grass,’ not seriously inappropriate, but I personally think the tone has a sense of wildness, it could be embellished to ’Wild Grass.’"
"Researcher, do you need to change the second Fire Spark to my newly embellished name?"
Rod, at a loss for words, asked quietly, "Can it be changed to Frost Blue?"
The bearded man said expressionlessly, "Naive, pretentious, filled with a feeble sense of superiority, completely inconsistent with the original meaning, rejected."
Rod sighed, "Then let’s not change it."
The air rippled again, and the bearded man stared for a moment, frowning, "I remember you stated that your Fire Spark has excellent recovery effects, and the Ash Excavators Academy report says it also has the capability to cut souls, is that true?"
Rod nodded.
The bearded man frowned, "Why is the Fire Spark Characteristic Domain of yours so broad? But the track deep in the soul is so clear and simple, it doesn’t seem like it belongs to a complex, intricate characteristic."
Rod didn’t know how to explain, contemplating whether to make up a reason, when the bearded man suddenly clapped his hands.
"I’ve got it!"
"Your ability actually squeezes the soul, using it on yourself means squeezing the potential of the soul, and when used on an enemy, it can destroy the soul!"
"Exactly, that must be it, your characteristic is actually soul squeezing."
What else could Rod do but nod?
Three recorders began writing furiously again, the sound of the paper rustling loudly in the lab.
Mina, eyes twinkling, exclaimed, "So that’s it! You’re amazing, little Rod! How about we spend a longer night together?"
The teachers turned their heads and glared at each other angrily.
Meanwhile, Rod wasn’t sure what was going on, although this senior sister was usually quite enthusiastic, but wasn’t her fervor over the top today?
"The third Fire Spark."
The bearded man shouted.
"After compiling the soul feedback, ’Asisolar’ in Sasorania language, meaning something straight and central, act immediately, erupt, shoot out, with a tone vast and intense, it feels like a silver bottle suddenly shattering, a slurry exploding, it can be translated as ’Instant Shoot.’
What!
Rod couldn’t believe his ears.
"Instant Shoot" what kind of nonsense is that?
Can it even be translated like that?
Genius! You’re truly a genius!
I never expected someone could translate "Justice Execution" as "Instant Shoot."
No wonder there are such things as "the God of Eating Filth" within the Doomsday Sect. With a translation genius like you, what isn’t possible?
Rod didn’t even have the energy to argue.
Since it’s always rejected, why waste the breath?
Mina, laughing so hard she held her stomach, her uniform trembling enticingly, attracting many gazes from those in white coats.
Still pleased, the bearded man continued, "Clear waveforms, violent and wild compression and release, this is a Spiritual Energy Cannon. Wow, this structure, this trajectory, simply perfect, my God, I’ve never seen such beautiful symmetry, its usage of Spiritual Energy has reached an unimaginable limit, oh my Holy Fire, the way it enhances power, I’m lost for words..."
Amid continuous exclamations, the bearded man declared:
"This is a first-class characteristic, the strongest Spiritual Energy Cannon I’ve seen in my life. Its only flaw is that it consumes too much Spiritual Energy, but this student also has the characteristic of recovering Spiritual Energy, a perfect match."
"I believe, all of his three Fire Sparks should be adjusted to the first class, and he himself should be adjusted to a priority focus, his personal salary level should be adjusted to Special Level."
As the words fell, the teachers exploded, rushing forward and grabbing his hands.
But Rod’s other hand was caught by Mina.
With a playful wink and her cherry lips whispering softly, she said,
"Little Rod, come with me, okay? We can sleep together when we come back at night."
