“Open it and see if you like it.” Fang Luolin propped her chin up with both hands, staring at Bai Ye intently.

Bai Ye unwrapped the ribbon and opened the box.

There were two books in it.

The book covers were a faint silver color and they looked beautiful but surreal.

“Elementary Spatial Skill: Spatial Shield”

“Intermediate Wind Skill: Storm Suit”

“Did you change the rewards given to you by the school to spatial skills?” Bai Ye was not touched. Instead, he felt angry.

It was impossible to buy spatial skills from shops. This was because spatial tamed beasts were extremely rare.

Therefore, spatial skills were not sold in the market.

Given their family’s circumstances, the only way to get them was to use Fang Luolin’s admission bonus.

After one enrolled in the school as a good seedling, there would be an opportunity to apply for an award.

Although the award might not necessarily cost a lot, one could definitely get very rare rewards.

Besides, Revolving Starlight University had a strong background and would definitely have an elementary spatial skill.

“It’s useless to me. I have already asked my mentor about this. If I want to, I can apply for two intermediate icy skills at most,” Fang Luolin said casually.

“My Xiaolan has awakened six intermediate icy skills by itself. Two additional skills would not make much difference,” the young lady said in a domineering manner as she waved her hand.

“Can self-awakened skills be the same as the skills that one chooses freely?” Bai Ye was slightly angry. Fools grew without watering.

Self-awakened skills were all random.

However, if one was able to choose freely, one could randomly select a skill based on the awakened skills.

It was true that tamed beasts could awaken skills by themselves. Depending on a tamed beast’s talent, it could have a small-scale or large-scale breakthrough, and there was a probability of awakening different levels of skills.

Some scholars had also published papers after conducting research, and their conclusion was that this awakening had a certain relationship with the patrilineal and matrilineal roots of a tamed beast.

However, in general, this kind of awakening was uncontrollable. No one had any idea what kind of skill would be awakened next time.

“What’s done cannot be undone. What else can I do? Once something is given, it won’t be refunded. Besides, I don’t have a wind or spatial tamed beast.” Fang Luolin blinked. “Well, you can learn them by yourself. It’s time for my meditation.”

The young lady turned to her bedroom and got ready to close the door.

Before closing the door, she added, “These are one-time skill books. Use them on the tamed beast and it will master the skills.”

Bai Ye looked down at the two skill books. Since it was too late to change anything, he could not possibly let them go to waste.

He summoned the Super Dimension Mirror and Xiaodiao1.

“Come here.” He curled his finger at the Super Dimension Mirror.

The Super Dimension Mirror was reluctant to go forward.

He grabbed the spatial skill book from the table and slapped the book against its frame.

The skill book turned into a sky flare the moment it touched the mirror.

Xiaowei1 spun several times in the air, feeling dizzy.

In the end, it fell to the ground with a thud.

It took a while before it was able to fly again.

“Have you learned this skill? Can you use it?” Bai Ye asked.

[Spatial Shield] Xiaowei tried to gather its thoughts.

An oval translucent eggshell instantly condensed all over its body.

The light passed by and was dispersed and distorted by the eggshell.

The eggshell was not concealed from outsiders. However, it would not be obvious if it was in a dimly-lit place. It would be easily overlooked when the surroundings were dull.

Bai Ye tested the defensive power of this Spatial Shield with some simple moves.

In the end, no matter what kind of method he used, he could not make any impact on the Spatial Shield whatsoever.

Bai Ye remembered that he had read about the principle of the Spatial Shield in a book before.

It seemed to be… a highly-compressed space that formed a high-density space around it, making the space very firm and hence blocking external attacks.

Xiaodiao watched as its senior was being slapped by a brick-like book.

It was staggering while walking toward Bai Ye. Then, it quickly turned around and fled.

It made a small chirp as it fled. However, it was too late.

Bai Ye grabbed its neck from the back and lifted it up, holding a book larger than its size.

Xiaodiao looked at the black shadow above its head with tears in its eyes.

Bang—

The book shattered.

It turned into light spots and merged with Xiaodiao.

Xiaodiao was dazed.

Cyan light and shadow appeared all over its body from time to time.

They would then disappear and reappear moments later.

It was fast at one point, but it would become slower the next instant.

Bai Ye told Xiaowei to bring it back to the Super Dimension Space and put it through some training.

“By the way, you must master the skills during this period. Fortunately, this is a one-time skill book. You can learn the skill without recognizing the characters. You must learn to read the characters so that you can be self-sufficient.” Bai Ye got up and went back to the bedroom to take out his elementary school Chinese textbook.

He placed it on the table.

Then, he began to advise them with earnest words and good intentions.

“A powerful tamed beast can learn the contents in the skill book by itself without making the master worry about it. Do you want to be such powerful tamed beasts?”

The two little tamed beasts did not understand what that meant.

They just nodded quickly when they heard the word “powerful”.

They had to become more powerful.

Xiaodiao stood on a textbook larger than itself with its head lowered. Its two eagle eyes stared intently at the densely-packed Chinese characters in the book.

At the moment, it could feel its blood gushing. It was as if the ancestral soul hidden deep in the bloodline was protecting it, letting its soul soar into the sky and fight against the gods.

‘I must learn these Chinese characters!’

…

It was time for that day’s meditation.

Bai Ye returned to the bedroom to light the calming incense. He then sat cross-legged on the floor and began to meditate.

Meanwhile, downstairs…

A group of people arrived uninvited.

There was a total of four people.

There was a young lady in a baseball cap who was chewing gum, as well as a teenager.

There was also a burly male adult with a cold expression on his face. Lastly, there was an old woman with a hunched back.

“She specifically asked for a spatial skill book.” The young lady tilted her head and looked at the fourth floor.

That was the direction in which Bai Ye’s house was located.

“According to the records, she has an icy tamed beast. However, she didn’t want an icy skill book. Instead, she deliberately replaced it with a spatial skill book,” the young lady said to herself. “Do you think she has a spatial tamed beast?”

“Sister, if there is really a spatial tamed beast, I want it,” the boy next to her said.

“We shall see how things go.” The young lady spat out the bubblegum in her mouth.

The old woman suddenly stretched out her thin fingers to pinch the bubblegum.

An emerald green snake sneaked out of the cuff of her sleeve. The snake flicked its tongue, gently spitting out a cloud of black mist and corroding the bubblegum.

“Miss Mu, according to the investigation, Fang Luolin’s parents are not natives of the Obsidian Planet. They should be from the outside world, and they left the Obsidian Planet five years ago,” the old woman whispered, as if to remind her of something.

“Then they should be their illegitimate children. Perhaps they have left other good stuff behind. Therefore, we must eliminate them completely and leave no traces behind.” The young girl smiled.

“It just so happens that I was a little unhappy. A pariah actually ranked higher than me. She has yet to go to the university to go through the admission procedure. She was only pre-admitted into the school. She is not considered a student of the Revolving Starlight University. Even if she is killed, the school won’t care too much. Her admissions mentor will trouble me the most, but it’s just a mentor. I don’t think she will dare to offend the Mu Family.”

“Grandma Wang, please isolate the venue and don’t disturb anyone else who is sleeping.” Mu Lingqing smiled.

“Sure, Miss Mu.”

The old woman took out a pure white bead.

This was the orb of the Mirage Dragon Shell, which could be used to cast an illusion within a radius of 1,000 meters.

Yes, this was necessary for murder and arson.

A faint white mist swirled from the pure white bead.

The white mist spread outward.

In the living room of Bai Ye’s house, the brass sculpture placed against the wall suddenly moved its eyes.

The surrounding scenery was gradually distorted…

It was an idyllic scene.

A long, narrow path led one to the depths of the land of peach blossoms.

Peach trees were growing on both sides, full of ripe and big peaches.

“Grandma Wang, I didn’t know that you had an elegant side to you,” Mu Lingqing said.

Grandma Wang, who was beside her, looked solemn as she glanced around uneasily.

“Miss Mu, this is not the illusion that I cast. This illusion… I-I can’t break through it.”

No matter which direction the group of four people went, the small path leading to the depths of the land of peach blossoms was always in front of them.

“Elder, we are members of the Mu Family from the 36 cities in the north. If there’s been any misunderstanding, we hope that you will be magnanimous enough to forgive us.” The old woman bowed toward the depths of the land of peach blossoms with her hands folded in front of her.

Faint footsteps could be heard coming from the depths of the land of peach blossoms, nearing them as time passed.

An old man with a conical bamboo hat on his head and two long white eyebrows appeared, wearing a brown rain cape made of sackcloth.

“Elder—” The old woman had more to say.

The old man suddenly raised his head.

Everyone was horrified. He was not an old man! He had the face of an ape.

The long snow-white eyebrows hung over the ape’s shoulders, its pale golden eyes were calm and gentle, and it exuded a peaceful temperament, like an immortal who had reached the Dao many years ago.

However, all of them were horrified by the first sentence the immortal said.

“If you dare harm Young Master and Young Mistress, I will kill all of you.”
