The ancient book Ye Bai was reading was peculiar. On the surface, it concerned talents and merely gave a rough introduction to a talent called the Eye of Insight.
If an ordinary person finished reading it, they would probably put it back.
But Ye Bai, who possessed the Eidetic Memory talent, discovered that it was actually a book that hid its head and concealed its tail.
The first character on every page, when strung together, formed the usage instructions and opening chapter for the Eye of Insight.
The second character on every page, when strung together, formed the words that followed.
And so on.
If Ye Bai had not possessed the Eidetic Memory talent, he naturally would have found it difficult to notice the mystery within. He would only have thought it was an ordinary book introducing talents.
After all, who had the time to compare every single character one by one? Countless people had flipped through this ancient book, yet none had discovered its secrets to this day.
The person who wrote this book had been highly cultured. Otherwise, they would not have hidden its contents by concealing its head and tail.
Pet beasts had existed on Blue Star for three hundred years, and among them were no lack of knowledgeable people who researched talents.
Wild pet beasts were called Strange Beasts.
And the person who wrote this book had studied the Eye of Insight extremely deeply.
The Eye of Insight was merely the initial form of the True Sight Eye.
As a Pet Beast Master's strength increased, the talent would gradually be developed.
It also required external emotional stimulation.
The more Ye Bai read, the more it resembled some red-eye disease from a certain series. Aside from the different functions, the rest was somewhat similar.
And using it too much could cause worsening eyesight, even blindness.
The ancient book specifically recorded one warning: never identify treasures beyond one's level or observe detailed information about pet beasts beyond one's level. Otherwise, it might inflict irreversible damage on the eyes.
Unless some treasures possessed spirits and could sense your intense conviction and determination, they might cooperate appropriately and lower the difficulty.
But what could be identified would still only be basic information.
Thinking back to the process of identifying the Life Spirit Seed, Ye Bai felt that was indeed the case.
Back then, he had held onto an indomitable resolve. Even if the price was severe deterioration of his eyesight, he still wanted to save Da Hui.
Only when he was about to be unable to hold on did the Life Spirit Seed take the initiative and allow itself to be successfully identified.
The ancient book also provided a formula that could temporarily relieve eye discomfort. However, some of the herbs in the formula were already on the brink of extinction.
It also offered a conjecture: if one could find an exceptionally special treasure, the Eye of Insight could operate at all times like a perpetual-motion machine.
Ye Bai had already noticed someone secretly watching him from behind.
Ever since awakening Eidetic Memory, Ye Bai's five senses had been enhanced.
He recognized the person. It was the old man who managed the library, the same old man who had snatched this ancient book away before.
That old man was specifically assigned to guard this ancient book and see whether anyone who read it could gain some insight from it.
Everyone who had read that book had to be reported to a certain school leader.
The man saw Ye Bai flip through it rapidly before stuffing it back in less than ten seconds. The ancient book was very thick, with several hundred pages; an ordinary person simply could not finish a book in such a short time.
So the old man assumed Ye Bai was just fooling around. Coupled with the fact that he was drunk as a lord, he did not take it to heart and naturally did not think to report the matter.
Thus, Ye Bai luckily avoided being monitored and did not expose the fact that he had mastered the Eye of Insight.
Ye Bai left with the Thousand Changes Silkworm. It hopped along, a ring of crystal-clear liquid wrapped around its long, bright-red tongue.
When Ye Bai returned to his class, he found it empty. The familiar classmates he usually saw were nowhere to be found.
After asking around, he learned that the classes had been reassigned, and he had been transferred to the Rocket Class from then on.
When he looked carefully at the class assignment list, he discovered that he had somehow become desk mates with Li Weiyang again.
Ye Bai raised his eyebrows, greatly intrigued.
This was a heaven-sent match—no, it counted as a peerless ill-fated bond.
Ever since Li Weiyang awakened the Eye of Insight, Ye Bai had not wanted to sit with her.
It was too troublesome and too conspicuous. Sitting beside her was like sitting atop a glowing light bulb.
That ran somewhat contrary to Ye Bai's desire to keep a low profile.
But after confirming it with the Homeroom Teacher, Ye Bai learned that Li Weiyang's student registration had not yet been transferred. Her training would all be conducted at the Supreme Academy.
She was merely registered under Sacred Mountain Middle School. Once the College Entrance Examination was over, her student registration would be transferred to the Imperial Capital.
In other words, she would be left in peace for this year.
"He Qingyuan has already applied to withdraw from school. I asked around, and he transferred to Jiaying First Middle School."
"He wanted that Boxing Rabbit that could go Berserk back, but the Boxing Rabbit directly refused him."
"Although we have already severely warned the He Family, we are also afraid they might obey in public while defying in private and secretly use some underhanded methods."
"Why don't you move into the school?"
Ye Bai shook his head. "No, I still have the Breeding House."
"Although they are all stray pet beasts Da Hui picked up, or pet beasts abandoned by others, I still treat them like family."
"I will not abandon them and inflict a second wound upon their hearts."
Zhang Lingxue hesitated. "How about I apply to the principal and have the pet beasts in your shop raised in a Secret Realm?"
"That would not be much different from staying at your Breeding House, and there would even be dedicated people to care for them."
Ye Bai spread his hands. "That would not be much different from personally abandoning them."
"Teacher, I appreciate your kindness."
"If I encounter any difficulties, I will come find you again."
Every word Ye Bai spoke was a refusal. Since he had already put it so plainly, Zhang Lingxue could not say anything further.
"Oh, right. There is a practical class later that you must attend. You do not need to attend any of the academic classes anymore; the principal has already specially approved it."
"After awakening the Eidetic Memory talent, taking exams is a piece of cake."
"There is also a course on cultivating pet beast evolution routes that I personally teach. I have already added your name to it."
"I will keep an eye on you in front of everyone. If you miss even one class without giving me a reasonable excuse, I will count it as an unexcused absence."
"If you fail your exams then, do not come crying to me."
Zhang Lingxue gathered her hair. Her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, and there was a tear mole at the corner of her eye. Her crimson lips looked exceptionally full.
She displayed the distinctive charm of a mature woman.
Ye Bai looked straight at Zhang Lingxue without letting his gaze wander, then even whistled, drawing a cold smile from Zhang Lingxue. "Looks like your skin is itching. You even dare tease your teacher. How about we go to the Battle Arena and have a match?"
Ye Bai shook his head like a rattle-drum, then greased the soles of his feet and ran off.
He arrived at his new seat and checked the timetable.
After entering the Rocket Class, there was not much to learn. Most of the time was devoted to practical exercises.
Once all the students had arrived, Zhang Lingxue walked in on sky-high heels.
She entered carrying a thick stack of lesson plans in her arms.
A work badge also hung around her neck.
She heavily dropped the lesson plans onto the podium.
Bang.
The podium shook.
Her hands, white as scallion stalks and smooth as jade, pressed down on the lesson plans, giving off the air of a formidable career woman.
"Everyone should know me, right? It does not matter if you do not. Over the next year, I will make sure you get to know me properly."
Zhang Lingxue revealed a smile that made people shudder, and quite a few students trembled. The Homeroom Teacher was terrifying!
