As Silan flipped through the Parchment, he memorized its contents.

"The Soul Eye will grant you eyes comparable to those of a god, unveiling the mysteries of the soul. When you can see the true face of the soul and enter this mysterious realm, attacking, tampering with, modifying, or controlling it will become effortless..."

"Now, please open your eyes."

"..."

After writing down everything, Silan burned the Parchment on the spot.

"There are still a few hours before class... not enough time." Silan frowned and pondered for a while before preparing to enter the Soul Space to practice.

Within the Soul Space, time flows more slowly. Although it's impossible to create physical objects, it's perfect for learning or memorizing knowledge.

Thinking this, Silan entered the Suitcase and summoned the "Soul Space Activator" Basilisk.

"Oh, my noble, great, and dear master, seeing you well is a great reward for me..." The Basilisk, as always, acted like a lackey, speaking with extreme flattery.

"You smooth talker, I think you haven't been electrocuted enough." Silan snapped her fingers.

The Basilisk was immediately covered in electric currents as thick as fingers, causing him to writhe in a mixture of pain and pleasure.

"Thank you, Master!"

"I will certainly remember your kind teachings, oh hiss hiss..."

Hmm, this doesn't feel like a punishment, it's more like a reward!

"That Basilisk is truly monstrous!"

After muttering something to himself, Silan waved his wand, chanted a spell, and entered the Soul Space after completing the Soul Tuning.

The Soul Space was as quiet as ever, with soft white light streaming down from the boundless sky, making the entire Soul Library appear to float abruptly in the air.

There was nothing around.

Silan walked up the steps to the library entrance, but she didn't see Tom.

He glanced at Tom's little house and was surprised to find the door tightly shut.

Silan knocked on the door, but no one answered. She thought to herself, "Could it be that he was too exhausted last time and hasn't woken up yet? Or could it be that my senior is deliberately avoiding me?"

Shaking her head, Silan turned and walked into the Soul Library: "Studying is more important."

After Silan left, Tom's little house slowly opened a crack in the door.

Tom watched Silan walk into the library and couldn't help but shudder.

"That jinx..." Tom gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Last time, he finally found a small loophole in the Soul Space and took a great risk by connecting his soul with the Soul Space in an attempt to reverse-engineer the operating logic of the Soul Space.

They had reached the final step when, in a thoughtful gesture, Silan pulled him out of the loophole and abruptly severed his connection with the Soul Space.

This rendered all his efforts futile.

That's bad. Not only are the doors locked and the windows closed, but even the drains are blocked.

Tom now hates Silan to the core and really doesn't want to face him.

"There can't be only one loophole in the Soul Space," Tom thought through gritted teeth. "As long as I'm willing to put in the time, I'm sure I can find a second one."

"Once I've mastered the Soul Space, I'll deal with you, you damned Prewett..."

Tom was feeling smug when he suddenly noticed Silan was about to enter the Soul Library, turn around abruptly and look at him.

This terrified Tom. He swallowed back the words he was about to say, hurriedly slammed the door shut, and instinctively held his breath, abruptly cutting off any thoughts that had crossed his mind.

Silan entered the Soul Library and began practicing, following the steps described in "The Construction and Use of the Soul Eye".

The Soul Eye is actually a Spells, but its casting logic is completely different from ordinary Spells, and it does not require a wand.

Recalling the steps recorded in the book, Silan used her mind to gather magic power and slowly focused it on her eyes.

The accumulation and convergence of magic caused a stinging sensation in Silan's eyes, but he did not stop. Instead, he sped up, trying to skip the initial steps.

As the magic gathered, Silan felt his eyes become incredibly sensitive, magnifying even the slightest changes in the outside world.

Even a slight increase in temperature could make his eyes feel incredibly hot, as if two hot coals were placed on his eyelids.

And when the temperature drops, his eyes will fall into the frozen ice, becoming so stiff that he can't blink.

The worst part was that these two extreme sensations alternated; one second the hot coals melted the ice, and the next second the blizzard froze them. Even the slightest movement of air made his eyes feel like they were being cut by knives.

Silan tried several times, but failed each time.

If the control over magic weakens during the construction of the Soul Eye, the magic will dissipate.

These magical powers are very close to the eyes, and once they dissipate, they will cause great irritation to the eyes.

This is why the eyes become sensitive and prone to pain when constructing the Soul Eye.

"Perhaps I'm using the wrong method. Since the Soul Eye is meant to gather magic power into the eyes, maybe I can use [Wizard's Eye] to assist me..." Silan thought to herself.

The method for constructing the Soul Eye, simply put, involves concentrating magic power into the eye to create a special "lens" that is then attached to the pupil.

Since it's magic, then we can use [Wizard's Eye].

Silan calmed himself down, activated [Wizard's Eye], and once again constructed the Soul Eye following the steps in the book.

The only trouble after activating [Wizard's Eye] is that you have to deliberately ignore the Soul Library, otherwise the massive flow of magic will strongly interfere with him.

Silan had no choice but to focus his attention on the present.

The flow of magic finally became clear.

The magic, as thick as ink and as light as white mist, flowed, its trajectory becoming incredibly clear in Silan's eyes. Silan used her mind to capture the magic flowing in the air, turning it into threads that slowly gathered before her eyes.

After completing this step, Silan felt as if countless loose threads had appeared around the edges of her eyes.

The magical threads intertwine and weave together, forming intricate patterns resembling a kaleidoscope.

Countless colors were pieced together in a peculiar pattern, and various complex geometric shapes constantly changed before his eyes, giving Silan a faint urge to peel away flesh and blood and look directly into the soul.

But he stopped himself.

The magical power within this Soul Space is simply too immense.

When he first used [Wizard's Eye] to observe the entire Soul Space, he was almost knocked unconscious by the force.

This time he was much more careful.

After leaving the Soul Space, Silan glanced at the time and was surprised to find that several hours had passed without her noticing.

This indicates that he spent almost the entire day in the Soul Space.

"Time to go to class." Silan rubbed her tired eyes.

Although time flows more slowly in the Soul Space, it does not reduce the loss of energy. The long hours of practice still left Silan feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

But there's no time to rest now.

Today's lesson is Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Professor Lupin, in his brand-new, unworn form, is explaining the Red Cap to everyone.
