Monsters Die When Killed

Chapter 372: Chapter 63: Bipolar Brain

But now that Su Zhou had completed the Spiritualization of his brain, he could precisely manipulate the Gale Seeds themselves, rather than controlling the entire Gale Armor. The possibilities were endless. For starters, he could even combine the Gale Armor into the shape of a rocket. By exerting his full power in this aerodynamic form, his thrust-to-weight ratio would be more than enough to accelerate him to hypersonic speeds—far faster than even his Garuda True Body!

He wouldn’t be able to slow down, but if he crashed into something like that, the enemy would surely have it worse than him!

’Not bad, not bad at all. I never thought that besides making a vital organ safer, the Spiritualization of my brain would have such a powerful side effect!’

At this moment, Su Zhou truly felt like his two brains were operating at full capacity, just like a dual-core CPU—except one was water-cooled, and the other used a physical heat sink.

Su Zhou even felt that his crystalized right brain processed thoughts faster but was overly rational, operating mostly in a linear fashion. His liquefied brain, though average in speed, was excellent at analysis, capable of considering problems from multiple angles simultaneously.

Of course, much like debating whether your headphones sound better powered by hydroelectric, thermal, or nuclear power, these strange perceptions were mostly just illusions brought on by the recent Spiritualization of his brain.

’Besides, now that my brain is done, the Spiritualization of all my vital organs is complete!’

Inside the Seclusion Chamber, Su Zhou slowly stood up and took a deep breath.

In an instant, all the Spiritual Qi within the High-level Seclusion Chamber—where the concentration reached eight times that of the outside world—was devoured by Su Zhou, rapidly converting into his Spiritual Power reserves.

Su Zhou could sense that the Spiritual Power within him now formed a complete, grand circulation. His brain, bones, marrow, meridians, muscles, heart, lungs, spleen, digestive organs... this series of spiritualized bodily structures ran smoothly, strengthening every corner of his body, inside and out.

From his fingernails and hair to his skin and appendix, every single tissue in his body, useful or not, was gradually being suffused by this grand circulation, becoming increasingly Extraordinary.

The day his entire body underwent a complete Transcendent Transformation would be the day he advanced to the Extraordinary High-tier and could cultivate a True Body! For now, though, Su Zhou hadn’t decided what kind of True Dragon Dharma Body he wanted to cultivate. He planned to first adventure in the world of the Silent Lord to find some inspiration before making a decision.

’Speaking of which, it really is time to start preparing for the expedition to the Otherworld,’ Su Zhou thought, an expectant smile spreading across his face.

Meanwhile, the anomalous depletion of Spiritual Qi in the Seclusion Chamber alarmed the relevant Academy leaders. However, upon discovering that the person cultivating inside was Su Zhou, most of them were utterly unfazed, even growing nonchalant. "Oh, it’s Professor Su. I was wondering who else it could be."

"Let’s disperse. He’s probably just had another breakthrough. Nothing to see here."

"And here I thought it was something serious."

The various Academy leaders, who had initially thought some student had run into trouble during their seclusion or that the chamber itself was malfunctioning, shook their heads and dispersed. Clearly, a breakthrough from Su Zhou wasn’t something worth getting excited about.

This was perhaps the inevitable tribulation of being the best in the world—most of the time, no one would gasp in amazement at your progress. Even praising you would seem like an overreaction, making them look inexperienced and as if they were making a mountain out of a molehill. Even his admirers would, at most, just sigh with emotion, "As expected of Professor Su. Truly terrifying."

There was nothing to be done. The life of a genius was just that simple, dull, and uninteresting.

But even so, when a rejuvenated Su Zhou left the Seclusion Chamber, arrived at the conference hall, and announced that he had completed the Spiritualization of his brain and cleared all obstacles on his path to the Extraordinary High-tier, he still heard many people gasp.

"It hasn’t even been two days, has it? It’s not even the New Year yet! How could he be so fast?"

"Is Professor Su going to reach the Commander Tier before we even reach the Extraordinary Tier?"

"It’s not that bad. I feel like I can break through before the year is out, too."

"Professor Su, I’m sorry, but we don’t have any experience in this area. There’s no way for us to help you..." The principal of Qinxing Academy, Zhuu Tingfeng, wiped the sweat from his brow. He himself had only broken through to the Extraordinary Tier recently and was still a long way from the Extraordinary High-tier. Although the Classics contained the experiences of ancient masters and Immortal Gods, times were different. Who knew what other complications might arise?

Of course, Su Zhou didn’t need any experience; he was just looking for an audience to show off to. After basking in the gazes of the various professors—which were ostensibly envious but, in reality, *truly* envious—Su Zhou hummed a little tune and returned to his dorm, preparing to call his friends and family one by one to report the good news.

"Hello, hello? Qiming? It’s me! I have some good news..."

"Huh? How’d you guess? You didn’t have to guess, you could tell just from my tone? You really are my brother!"

"Alright, I won’t keep you. Let’s go out for a meal when we have time!"

"Hello, hello? Dad? I have some good news..."

"Weird, how did you know too?! Where’s Mom?"

TSK. ’Am I really that obvious?’

Su Zhou made several more calls. For some reason, basically every acquaintance knew what he was going to say the moment he opened his mouth. Even Aunt Wen and the seemingly a-bit-ditzy Little Sister Shuangyue could easily guess that Su Zhou had leveled up yet again. There was nothing for it. Su Zhou could only scratch his head, click his tongue, and mutter, "Why is it so hard to show off?"

After thinking for a moment, he opened his laptop and logged into his X-Bó account. Because he was a judge on various shows and due to the recent *Legacy of the Ancient Wasteland* program, he had over a million fans, most of whom were real people, not bots. Every one of his review posts and personal opinion pieces garnered thousands, even tens of thousands, of replies.

The CLACK-CLACK-CLACK of a keyboard echoed as Su Zhou hummed a tune, updated his latest status, and pinned it to the top of his feed.

[Su Zhou. Eighteen years old. A professor. Extraordinary High-tier. I currently live in the professor’s villa at the Western Capital Qinxing Academy. Unmarried, no girlfriend. I cultivate until the next day, every day. I never sleep. I like playing video games, and I especially love making in-game purchases. My greatest pleasure is buying games and then never playing them. Every day, I set aside a specific amount of time to browse online forums. Before I log off, I make sure to argue with five people. After I’ve had my say, I immediately block them. No one can ever reply to me. I never let my toxicity and stress carry over to the next day. Not even doctors dare to say I’m not normal.]
