"The second Eye Ring reacted. I knew there was a good chance I would trigger the second Eye Ring this time!"
Xia Zuo was delighted. Since unlocking the first Eye Ring last time, he had gone a long time without triggering another Eye Ring. Triggering one meant he could gain another new ability, and that excited him greatly.
A new ability meant new power, and power was what Xia Zuo wanted. With that thought, he closed his eyes slightly and focused all his concentration on the Ultimate Eye on his forehead, wanting to see what this Eye Ring's ability was.
"First, the condition for unlocking the second Eye Ring."
Xia Zuo murmured as he checked the unlocking condition. When the Ultimate Eye gave him its feedback, he froze for a moment, because the condition for unlocking the second Eye Ring was somewhat unexpected. It actually required knowledge!
More precisely, knowledge related to magic.
Magic was a complex ability. Vast magical knowledge and a powerful mind were the key elements that made up magic. If he wanted to unlock the second Eye Ring, he needed to acquire enough magical knowledge.
"So this means I need to spend the coming days reading in the library. I never expected the condition for unlocking the second Eye Ring to be so easy."
Xia Zuo smiled in surprise. He had never expected something like this. In other words, as long as he kept studying magical knowledge here, he could gain the second Eye Ring's ability.
This unlocking condition was much easier than the others. After all, he only needed to acquire knowledge, rather than fight and kill.
Just imagine leisurely drinking tea and reading here, and gaining an ability that way. What could be simpler? So not only did Xia Zuo have no objection to this condition, he actually rather liked it.
In fact, Xia Zuo had an advantage when it came to this condition. This was a sanctuary for sorcerers, and this library held a vast number of magic books, making things convenient enough for him. No matter how he looked at it, this unlocking condition was easier than any before it.
"Ultimate Eye, I suddenly feel like you have a bit of humanity." The corners of Xia Zuo's mouth lifted slightly, and he immediately focused all his attention on the magic book and began reading earnestly.
Xia Zuo had decided to set himself a small goal: first, read every magic book in Kamar-Taj!
For a time, Xia Zuo devoted all his attention to the magic books. Only when the sun was setting did he reluctantly leave. As he left, however, he also took those introductory magic books back to his room. The librarian did not stop him. After all, the Ancient One had already instructed that Xia Zuo could borrow these books within the grounds of Kamar-Taj.
The beginning was always difficult. With no foundation in magic, Xia Zuo did not progress quickly at first. But on the second day, he finally finished the first book. The moment he finished it, the Ultimate Eye sent him a message: he had acquired enough magical knowledge to unlock the second Eye Ring.
"Unlock the second Eye Ring?"
How could Xia Zuo refuse something like this? He immediately answered excitedly in his mind.
Yes!
At once, upon receiving Xia Zuo's command, the Ultimate Eye began to change. A warm current slowly flowed out of the Ultimate Eye on his forehead and gradually gathered in his eyes. A warm, searing sensation instantly enveloped them, and a faint red glow appeared in Xia Zuo's eyes.
Fortunately, Xia Zuo was in his room at the time, with no one else present, so no one noticed this.
After a while, the red glow slowly faded. Xia Zuo slowly opened his eyes, revealing vermilion eyes marked with five-pointed stars, with intricate magical patterns among them. It was as though these eyes had been born to exist for magic. These were precisely the Copy Eyes among the Magic Eyes.
"So it's the Magic Eyes. This is interesting. Still, this is a sanctuary for sorcerers, so unlocking the Magic Eyes is perfectly normal."
From the information the Ultimate Eye fed back to him, Xia Zuo finally learned which Dōjutsu he could unlock this time.
The Magic Eyes, known as Magic Eye for short, were Dōjutsu from The Legend of the Legendary Heroes. Almost all these Dōjutsu focused on magic. Xia Zuo reckoned this was also why he had triggered the second Eye Ring this time. After all, this was a place of magic.
The five legendary Magic Eyes were the Copy Eyes, Annihilation Eye, Dream Eye, Grudge Eye, and Future Eye. All of these were Magic Eyes, and their abilities were highly distinctive. The Dōjutsu Xia Zuo had unlocked this time was the first of the legendary Magic Eyes: the Copy Eyes!
"The first ability of the Magic Eyes is the Copy Eyes-eyes that can copy magic. Nothing could be more suitable!"
Delighted, Xia Zuo immediately understood the ability he had unlocked, and memories of the Copy Eyes flashed through his mind.
Once activated, the Copy Eyes could instantly analyze the composition, form, properties, and power of any magic within their sight, and directly learn that magic. This remained effective even if the other party stopped casting the magic midway.
A skilled wielder of the Copy Eyes could cast later yet strike first. With broad enough knowledge, they could even freely alter existing magic and create new magic fit for practical use.
It could be said that this was a cheat for learning magic. No magic held any secrets before Xia Zuo, because his eyes were innately capable of analyzing magic's secrets. If developed to their peak, he could even copy someone else's magic with a single glance, no matter how terrifying that magic was!
In the field of magic, the Copy Eyes could be called an immensely powerful and terrifying cheat, and the cheat most suited to Xia Zuo, because magic would hold no secrets before him.
P.S. Did you guess it? It's the Copy Eyes. That shouldn't have been too hard to guess!
