The professor is an Occult Illusionist?

Angor read about dozens of different branches from this art. Such as the Mirage branch which controlled the weather, the Sorcery Array branch which combined alchemy knowledge, the Truth Manipulator branch that confused real with fake, and the Transform branch that could take on many different forms So which branch could he study?

The spirit reached out a hand which then released a green light. A tree branch slowly grew from his palm and moved toward Angor. Under the boys surprised gaze, a fresh green sprout popped out from it.

Eat the leaf, said the spirit.

Angor picked the newly grown leaf and swallowed it without a second thought. When the leaf reached his tongue, it turned into some cold and refreshing fluid, slowly flowing down his throat.

Next, green light shone from Angors body. He could almost see green blood flowing under his skin. Even his brain felt cool and comfortable.

Angor closed his eyes unintentionally to enjoy the pleasant coldness.

On the other side, the tree spirit quickly wrote down something on his notebook.

[Pure human form, zero foreign bloodlines. Rating: Qualified]

[Spiritual power indicator: 15. Rating: Qualified]

[Alignment]

The spirit looked up and tapped the air. A small trace of green aura emerged from Angors body and merged itself into the spirits body.

Not the slightest scent of blood He muttered and resumed his penwork.

[Alignment: None. Rating: Qualified]

The spirit tapped again. The green aura inside Angor suddenly became wild. Angor frowned a little and revealed a painful look. However, the aura soon returned to a moderate state again.

The tree spirit seemed surprised at something and smiled at Angor, I think the little guy loves you.

[Physical quality: Moderate. Rating: Qualified]

[Soul quality: Outstanding. Rating: Qualified]

Next was the most important onethe test on Angors talent orientation. The tree spirit ordered the green stream inside Angor to go into the boys spirit pool. This was a critical step. Ones spirit pool did not exist in ones body, instead, it lied in the mind of ones soul, which was an abstract place. Furthermore, it was extremely repellent to foreign objects. Even someone like Sunders could not enter someones mind easily.

Only an expert at soul knowledge could barely manage such a feat. In other words, the tree spirit possessed superior soul power.

When the green aura entered Angors spirit pool, sweat drops appeared on the tree spirits forehead.

Suchexpelling force! Even the most gentle aura of nature is rejected!

He was shocked, for the tree spirit had lived in Brute Cavern for thousands of decades and bestowed such test to countless talents. Yet the opposing force in Angors mind was the strongest one he had ever encountered.

When the aura of nature entered ones mind, it could acquire a vague idea of his or her talent orientation.

However, it was only a vague idea such as whether the talent should choose Element Art or Bloodline Art as long as the aura only stayed in the outer area of the mind.

If the tree spirit wished so, he could ask the aura to slowly spread itself around the entire mind pool, thus further determining the best choice for the talent, such as one of the branches in a certain art.

Even though he had been doing so year after year, the tree spirit was actually the lazy kind. In most cases, he only reached his natural aura into someones mind very briefly.

This was why he only suggested among the three major arts for most of the talents.

Unless he took a liking to someone, and that someone possessed a decent talent. In which case, the tree spirit would spend more effort on the test. Sailum, who took the test just now, was an innocent child and one of the best types favored by the spirit of a tree. Combined with the fact that Sailum did have potential, the tree spirit told the kid to major in Darkness, Element Art.

The spirit also liked Angor much. The pleasant scent on the boys soul was one of the reasons. Plus, the little guy also favored Angor, which was all the more reason for the spirit to regard Angor better.

To test Angors talent in details was his plan. The tree spirit did not expect such a strong opposing force in the boys mind. Keeping the natural aura on the outer part of Angors mind was already tiring enough, let alone pushing the aura deeper.

I cant believe this! There is no way the mind pool of a mortal can prevent natural aura from going inside! The spirit was not convinced. He was swearing all over now, but he still could not breach the defense of Angors mind.

He could try infiltrating forcefully but doing so would cause irreversible damage to Angors brain.

In the end, the spirit could only retrieve most of his aura, while leaving only a small part of it and try to admit defeat to see if Angors mind would decide to accept the aura.

It worked. The small trace of aura approached a little deeper inside but still a lot far away from the core.

As the tree spirit asked his aura to move forward again, the intense force came once more and pushed the remaining aura out of Angors mind.

The mighty force caused the tree spirit himself to stumble back a little.

Such strong power! He sighed deeply. He was covered in sweat now, and his stamina and spirit power was exhausted.

Mister Tree Spirit, what happened? A low, hoarse voice came from the distance.

Sunders Your student is a beast. You dont see such strong spirit defense often. Formal wizards will have a hard time peeking his mind even if they forced their way in, answered the tree spirit.

Naturally. Hes my student after all, said Sunders. He appeared to be pretty proud, which was a rare reaction from the gentleman.

The tree spirit rolled his eyes. He was not praising Sunders anyway.

So did Mister Tree Spirit figure out Angors talent orientation? Sunders asked.

The spirit shook his head, I was pushed out by the second defense line, so I dont know the details. But theres no doubt the boy inclined toward Occult Art, Illusionist.

Sunders smiled at those words.

However I sense more than one orientation. He has another orientation beside Occult Illusionist, but I cannot tell which. Your new student is certainly a good one. I met many talents with two element orientations or someone with both element one and an occult one, but I dont recall seeing many talents who had two occult orientations.

The last time I encountered someone like this was about twenty thousand years ago. A talent who held orientations for Occult Summoner as well as Occult Prophet. Pity, that man abused his prophecy and died of divine punishment before he could become a wizard.

Sunders remained silent for a moment before speaking, Quality beyond quantity. Dont mention this to him for now. Just tell the boy about the Occult Illusionist branch. If he wishes to choose another branch, he can study for himself once he becomes a wizard.

The tree spirit chuckled, Looks like hes really important to you. Very well, Ill do as you said.

With that, the spirit wiped some sweat off his forehead and wrote down the last line:
