Am I a god-tier talent in all my professions?

Chapter 153 The Foresight

While contemplating magic, Lu Cang inevitably pondered death spells, and in doing so, he naturally contemplated the soul.

In addition, since his own death priesthood is closely related to the use of souls, Lu Cang's study of souls can be considered quite in-depth.

However, his understanding of the soul was ultimately far inferior to that of combat skills and magic.

Please explain the relationship between the soul and the body.

The first question alone was already that difficult.

Difficulty is relative; those who know how to do it will find it easy, but this question was not easy for Lu Cang.

Unlike the previous subjects, it wasn't as easy and carefree.

However, Lu Cang still replied: "The soul resides in the physical body, driving consciousness, and serves as a vessel for awakening spirituality..."

In short.

Having answered the first question with great effort, Lu Cang believed that his understanding was correct.

Only after venturing into a field I wasn't particularly good at did I truly understand how terrifying the White Tower's questions were.

This also means that the people in the White Pagoda are all truly learned individuals.

How to separate a soul from its physical body?

Upon seeing this question, Lu Cang fell silent.

Would you believe me if I told you about things I did easily?

Lu Cang thought for a moment.

There are no restrictions on how to answer the questions here, but there are practical demonstrations of how to answer them.

With a wave of his hand, a slime zombie appeared in front of him.

Hopefully, the other test takers won't see me.

If it's really that coincidental, then there's nothing we can do.

However, those who take the exam on the subject of "soul" will likely be familiar with this topic, so seeing a slime zombie shouldn't be too surprising.

This zombie was created by Lu Cang himself.

After it appeared, it took two steps, and Lu Cang extracted its soul directly.

This was Lu Cang's answer.

The question paused briefly before moving on to the next one.

It seems like I passed the test.

Please explain the relationship between the soul and reincarnation.

Upon seeing the question, Lu Cang was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and left.

Reincarnation?

What is this? I have absolutely no idea.

Rather, although I've heard some things about it, it's only hearsay; I haven't read anything about the theoretical aspects.

Not to mention providing an answer.

Lu Cang didn't want to waste any time, so he went straight out the door.

Let's look at the score.

[Lu Cang: 340 points (Magic, Puzzle, Combat Skills, Soul)]

[Yuna: 336 points (Ocean, Stars, Monsters, Moon Phase)]

Ah, it seems she's encountered something she's not good at either.

Lu Cang immediately turned around and rushed into the gate of death.

The little girl paused for a moment, then immediately turned and rushed toward the door of mathematics.

The two went in and out repeatedly.

The score is also rising steadily.

However, the rate of improvement has become increasingly slow.

I could have answered two questions correctly.

Later on, I could only answer the first question, and eventually even answering the first question became difficult.

Lu Cang also noticed the score.

Question 1 is worth 10 points, Question 2 is worth 30 points, and Question 3 is worth 60 points.

As for the fourth question... who knows?

The fourth question was never intended to be answered; it probably asks the most fundamental question in this field.

Lu Cang's answer to the question about magic, even though it included his understanding of the origin, did not earn him any points.

It seems that it is asking about the true root and essence of things.

Rather than the root of personal understanding.

Ding-ding-ding-dong
at last.

As a bell rang, the White Tower's assessment came to an end.

Those who score 60 or above in the assessment will be eligible for a White Pagoda Scholar position.

Lu Cang looked at the rankings.

[Lu Cang: 393 points (Magic, Puzzle, Combat Skills, Soul, Death, Ritual, Monster, Dungeon, Nest, Spirit, Divination, Enchantment)]

[Yuna: 388 points (Ocean, Stars, Monsters, Lunar Phases, Mathematics, History, Divination, Future, Psychology)]

Actually, ever since the subject of souls...

Lu Cang would usually go in and give a random answer to the first question, but he could barely answer the second question.

Yuna saw the final rankings.

Her legs gave way and she sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Lu Cang's name.

Lu Cang sighed deeply, feeling a lingering fear in his heart.

Finally, we won.

Where do so many geniuses come from in this world?

They almost lost the competition.

If the other person were older, it would be fine, but they happen to look about the same age as me.

This made Lu Cang absolutely unwilling to lose to her.

Lu Cang's figure flickered slightly, and he arrived in front of her in a flash of light.

"You must be Yuna."

"You're amazing, you know so much."

Lu Cang extended his hand to Yuna as a gesture of goodwill.

Lu Cang then carefully observed the other person's appearance.

What a beautiful little girl.

Her long, black hair was disheveled, and her sculpted features exuded a cool and aloof air, like a literary girl who would spend all her time in a bookstore.

Completely different from that nasty fortune teller with short, light purple hair.

It should be said that it is more like a younger version of the aloof school beauty.

However, at this moment, Yuna stared at the rankings, her eyes revealing confusion and a hint of despair.

If we lose, we lose.

At worst, I'll just go home and hide under the covers to cry secretly.

There's no need to be so desperate, is there?

Are her parents the type who would beat her up if she didn't get first place in her exams?

If that's the case, perhaps I've really done something very wrong to her.

Lu Cang's hand was outstretched.

But the other party did not respond.

However, Lu Cang did not feel embarrassed. After all, judging from the situation, it was the time when those candidates were dejected or like Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination.

Indeed, I saw a man in his sixties shouting excitedly.

Wow, there really is an old man taking the exam!
The two little kids over there were completely ignored.

Suddenly, I felt a cold sensation in my palm.

She pulled herself up by the hand.

“Yuna,” she introduced herself.

“I am…” Lu Cang was about to reintroduce himself.

Yuna interrupted him.

"Lu Cang, I know you."

"A genius mage, the chief mage of the Kingdom of Loren, and an 8-year-old who changed his profession ahead of schedule."

Oh, it seems the other party knows a lot about me.

However, I had never heard of the other party before.

He was such an outstanding child.

Does this mean that one's information network is particularly closed?

Speaking of which, Lu Cang has never met the other assassin who was promoted ahead of schedule and was under Kumironi's supervision. He hasn't even asked his name.

It seems... I can't keep myself locked up in the forbidden library and palace every day; I need to spend more time walking around.

However, a day is almost entirely consumed by learning forbidden knowledge, researching strange rituals, contemplating the Second Root, and developing one's own combat skills.

If it weren't for having to teach a class at the Loinz Magic Academy, Lu Cang would probably be staying at home and in the forbidden library every day, a shut-in who hardly ever goes out.

Did Izzy take this into consideration when she sent me to teach at Lloyd's Academy for two months?
However, researching these things is indeed very time-consuming.

If you want to become stronger, you simply don't have time to do anything else.

"Yes, I am Lu Cang."

"And what about you? I don't know anything about you yet."

Lu Cang asked with a cheerful boyish smile.

Yuna tilted her head: "Are you curious about me?"

Lu Cang answered frankly, "Of course I'm curious."

A child of similar age to myself was able to get such a high score.

Keep in mind that the third-place finisher only had 104 points.

Her knowledge level is far beyond what a child of her age should possess.

Lu Cang naturally wanted to get to know this special character.

"My name is Yuna."

Then, silence fell.

Lu Cang and Yuna looked at each other and waited for a while before Lu Cang realized that the other had finished speaking.

Lu Cang gave an awkward smile: "That's it?"

"Gone."

Lu Cang asked, "Did you change jobs?"

Yuna answered directly, "No."

Not a job changer?
If you're not a career changer, you probably haven't even activated your spirituality, right? How could you possibly know so much?
Even I only managed to get three perfect scores by changing my class to Mage, Decipherer, and Warrior.

Just then, a man dressed in white stood in the middle of the field.

"Those who have not passed the test, please leave now."

"Those who pass the test, come with me."

Lu Cang wanted to say something to Yuna, but Yuna walked straight over there.

Lu Cang had no choice but to follow.

What an enigmatic child.

Lu Cang decided to find out what was going on with her.

Lu Cang doesn't want to understand everything. If there is any danger, Lu Cang certainly doesn't intend to indulge his curiosity.

However, inside the White Tower, which is also within the city of Knolloa.

Currently, Izzobades and others are also in the city, which gives Lu Cang a lot of confidence.

Moreover, I should now be invincible below level 6 job advancement, and the warrior's new talent has an extremely strong ability to protect myself.

What's wrong with being curious about a little girl?
Lu Cang followed behind Yuna.

They maintained a very stable distance.

Yuna would turn her head back every now and then, glance at Lu Cang, and then immediately turn back.

Lu Cang stared intently at her, his senses focused intently on her.

To prevent the situation where the child might run away unnoticed.

I'm just so curious...

How dare a kid who hasn't even changed jobs compare himself to me?
Although he kept reminding himself to be humble, Lu Cang was also very clear that his spirituality was so high that he was not someone that ordinary people could easily scam.

"Everyone, from today onwards you are all members of the White Tower."

May your extensive learning bless you so that you may eventually reach the other side of knowledge.

"Everyone, once you've received your uniforms and badges, you can explore the White Tower on your own."

The real entrance to the White Pagoda is on the second floor.

A large, white door leads through which scholars come and go.

Joining the White Tower involved no complicated ceremony.

"Yuna, Lu Cang, come with me."

Lu Cang looked at the man leading the way, then at Yuna beside him.

He nodded and followed.

Once they were away from the crowd, the man who had been leading the way finally spoke.

"Lu Cang, I've already heard about what happened to you."

“Izparut also told me that you would participate in this assessment. Judging from today’s results, you truly deserve the title.”

"Just as the king said, he is the most brilliant genius in the history of the Kingdom of Loren."

Tsk, then I must be quite famous.

Lotterdam really spread his name everywhere.

They were afraid that no one would know that the Kingdom of Loren had produced Lu Cang.

Lu Cang was already a little worried that assassins from an enemy country might come to assassinate him.

After all, assassins do this kind of work, and the world openly and legally allows the existence of the assassin profession.

However, Lu Cang is not too afraid of facing assassins now.

Lu Cang had already placed the corpse specimens everywhere.

At the Loinz Magic Academy, the homes of Iz, Kumironi, and Obardes displayed their corpses.

Even the demon statues in the palace used to display the majesty of the royal family were replaced with Lu Cang's because Lu Cang presented two huge and ferocious demon specimens as tribute.

In addition, the perception of "final sense" cannot be blocked, coupled with an extremely strong sense of crisis.

It also possesses the warrior's "Unbreakable Body in Ten Thousand Battles" talent.

If Lu Cang could be killed with such heavy defenses in the heart of the country, as the country's chief mage, then there's nothing more to say. If he could die like this, then he deserved to die.

"Senior has given you too much praise."

I don't know who the person in front of me is, but I'll just call him senior for now.

"Just call me Bota. I can't compare to you geniuses. In the White Tower, knowledge is the most respected. Your future achievements will definitely surpass mine. If you really want to add a respectful title, you might as well call me teacher."

Lu Cang didn't refuse too much, but took the opportunity to ask, "Professor Bota, do you know Yuna?"

Bota chuckled and patted Yuna's head: "Of course I know her. Yuna is one of our White Tower's experimental subjects."

"She was one of the children who participated in the test for the visionaries."

"The forerunner?"

Botta replied with a smile, "Yes, the White Tower has been conducting a lot of research, and the Foresight Project is one of them."

"The project is very complex. If I were to explain it verbally, it would cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings, so I won't go into details."

"However, I can guarantee that this project experiment will be conducted under absolutely safe and controllable conditions."

"This project is public. If you are interested, you can view it on the third level, which is just right with your current access level."

Although he spoke casually, it still sounded like some kind of inhumane experiment, using children as test subjects.

This reminded Lu Cang of certain comics or anime works from his previous life, which had similar plots, such as mysterious research organizations that imprisoned children to conduct all sorts of experiments.

The White Pagoda is a research organization...

Considering that the other party even possesses the [Pure White Descent Ritual], it's hard to say for sure; it's definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

It's best to be cautious.

They were led to a room where Bota gave them two specially made white robes with high collars. These were the uniforms of the White Tower scholars, custom-made to fit them perfectly.

In addition, there are badges symbolizing the scholars of the White Tower.

"Based on your exam results, you can directly advance to the second tier of White Tower scholars. This is the second tier badge of the White Tower, granting you second-tier privileges. As for the specific privileges, you can explore them yourselves."

"There are many different ways to improve one's rank within the White Tower, but the most important way is to submit valuable research reports or make new discoveries."

"The White Tower is a global organization, and the identity of a White Tower scholar is applicable no matter where in the world you go."

Lu Cang examined the badge in his hand.

Every corner of the world? They don't even know how big the world is.

"That's all the convenience I can offer you two."

"The White Tower has no outside privileges or status. Regardless of age or rank, knowledge is everything in the White Tower."

"If you have enough knowledge, even a level 9 polymath will make way for you."

“I still have research to do, Yuna. Why don’t you introduce the White Pagoda to Lu Cang?”

Yuna glanced at Bota, then at Lu Cang beside her.

nodded.

"Ah."
