Chapter 18: The Secret of the Ancient Book

The ancient book Ye Bai was reading was strange; judging by the literal content, it was about talents, and it only roughly explained the existence of a talent like the Insight Eye.

If an ordinary person finished reading this book, they might just put it back.

But Ye Bai, who possessed the Photographic Memory talent, discovered that this was actually a book with hidden messages.

The first character of every page, when connected together, formed the usage instructions and opening chapter for the Insight Eye.

The second character of every page, when connected together, formed what followed.

And so on.

If not for Ye Bai possessing the Photographic Memory talent, it would naturally be difficult to perceive the mysteries within, and he would only think this was a simple book introducing talents.

After all, who has that much time to compare it character by character? Thus, this ancient book had been flipped through by countless people, yet to this day, no one had discovered the mysteries within.

The person who wrote this book had an extremely high level of education; otherwise, they would not have hidden the content in such a way.

Ever since Pet Beasts appeared on Blue Star, there has been a history of three hundred years, and there is no lack of knowledgeable people who have conducted research on talents.

Wild Pet Beasts are called Exotic Beasts by people.

And the person who wrote this book had conducted very deep research into the Insight Eye.

The Insight Eye is only the initial form of the True Sight Eye.

Only after the Pet Beast Master's strength improves will the talent gradually be developed.

It also requires some external emotional stimulation.

Why does this look more and more like someone's red-eye disease to Ye Bai? Except for the different functions, other aspects are somewhat similar.

Moreover, using it too much can lead to vision loss or even blindness.

The ancient book specifically recorded one sentence: one must never appraise treasures or observe the detailed information of Pet Beasts beyond one's rank, otherwise, it might cause irreversible damage to the eyes.

Unless some treasures have spirits and can feel your strong belief and determination, they will only cooperate appropriately to lower the difficulty.

However, what is appraised is also just basic knowledge.

Thinking back to his own process of appraising the Life Spirit Seed, Ye Bai felt the same.

At that time, he held an indomitable determination; even if he had to pay the price of severely declining vision, he had to save Dahui.

Only when he was about to be unable to hold on did the Life Spirit Seed actively allow the appraisal to succeed.

The ancient book also provided a formula that could relieve eye discomfort for a short time, but some of the herbs in this formula were already on the verge of extinction.

In addition, it also provided a conjecture: if one finds a very special treasure, the Insight Eye could operate at all times like a perpetual motion machine.

Ye Bai had already discovered at this moment that someone was secretly monitoring him from behind.

Ever since he awakened Photographic Memory, Ye Bai's five senses had been strengthened.

He recognized that person; it was the old man who managed the library, and this ancient book had been snatched away by that old man back then.

That old man was specifically guarding this ancient book to see if anyone had read it and realized anything from it.

Everyone who had read that book had to be reported to a certain leader in the school.

That person saw Ye Bai flip through it quickly and stuff it back shortly after, in less than ten seconds. Because this ancient book was very thick, with several hundred pages, it was impossible for an ordinary person to finish a book in such a short time.

So the old man thought Ye Bai was just fooling around, and coupled with being drunk, he naturally didn't take it to heart, and thus didn't think about reporting this matter.

Consequently, Ye Bai luckily avoided being monitored and did not expose that he had mastered the Insight Eye.

Ye Bai walked out with the Thousand-Change Silkworm; it was hopping along, with a circle of crystal-clear liquid wrapped around its long, large red tongue.

When Ye Bai returned to the classroom, he found the classroom empty; the classmates he was usually familiar with were gone.

After asking around, it turned out that classes had been divided, and from then on, he had been transferred into the Rocket Class.

After he saw the class division list clearly, he discovered that he had actually become seatmates with Li Weiyang.

Ye Bai raised his eyebrows, feeling very curious.

This was a heaven-sent match; no, it should be considered an unparalleled ill-fated connection.

Ever since Li Weiyang awakened the Insight Eye, Ye Bai had not wanted to sit with Li Weiyang.

It was too troublesome and too conspicuous; sitting next to her was like sitting next to a glowing, large lightbulb.

This went somewhat against the wishes of Ye Bai, who wanted to keep a low profile.

However, after confirming with the Class Teacher, Ye Bai learned that Li Weiyang's student status had not yet been transferred, and her training would all take place at the Zhigaoxuefu.

She was just hanging her name at Shenshan Middle School, and after the Imperial Capital University Entrance Exam was over, her student status would be transferred to the Imperial Capital.

That is to say, during this year, she would be peaceful.

"He Qingyuan has already applied to withdraw from school; I asked around, and he transferred to Jiaying No. 1 Middle School."

"He wanted to take back that Boxing Rabbit that can go Berserk, but it was directly rejected by the Boxing Rabbit."

"Although we have already given the He Family a stern warning, we are also afraid that the He Family will act in defiance of our orders and secretly use some methods."

"Why don't you move into the school?"

Ye Bai shook his head: "No, I still have my Breeding House."

"Although they are all stray Pet Beasts picked up by Dahui, or Pet Beasts abandoned by others, I still treat them like family."

"I will not abandon them and cause secondary damage to their hearts."

Zhang Lingxue hesitated for a moment: "How about I apply to the principal to have the Pet Beasts in your shop raised in the Secret Realm?"

"That way, it's no different from being in your Breeding House, and there are even people specifically taking care of them."

Ye Bai spread his hands: "This is actually no different from me abandoning them with my own hands."

"Teacher, I appreciate your kindness."

"If I have any difficulties, I will come to find you again."

Ye Bai's words were a refusal through and through; since things had been said to this point, Zhang Lingxue could not say anything else.

"By the way, there is a practical class later that you must attend; you don't need to attend cultural classes at all, the principal has already given special approval."

"Having awakened the Photographic Memory talent, taking exams is just a small case."

"There is another course I teach personally on Pet Beast evolution paths, and I have already added your name to it."

"I will be watching you in public; if you don't show up even once without giving me a reasonable excuse, I will count it as an absence."

"When you fail the exam then, don't come looking for me."

Zhang Lingxue smoothed back her hair; her long black hair was like a waterfall, and there was a tear mole at the corner of her eye, her crimson lips looking very full.

She displayed the unique charm of a mature woman.

Ye Bai looked at Zhang Lingxue without averting his eyes, and at the end, he even let out a whistle, which made Zhang Lingxue sneer: "It seems your skin is itching; you even dare to tease your teacher. Why don't we go to the battle arena and have a match?"

Ye Bai shook his head like a rattle-drum and slipped away.

He arrived at his new seat and checked the class schedule.

After entering the Rocket Class, there isn't much that needs to be learned, as most of the time is for practical training.

After all the students had arrived, Zhang Lingxue walked in wearing high heels.

She walked in carrying a thick stack of lesson plans in her arms.

A staff ID badge hung around her neck.

She placed the lesson plans heavily onto the podium.

Bang.

The podium wobbled.

She pressed down on the lesson plans with her jade-white fingers, revealing the aura of a strong, career-driven woman.

"Everyone should know me, right? It doesn't matter if you don't; over the next year, I will make sure you get to know me very well."

Zhang Lingxue revealed a chilling smile, and many students shivered; the Class Teacher is so terrifying!
