"That's impossible..."
As this thought flashed through her mind, Shen Bi Ru shook her head profusely.
She had once read an ancient text which stated that other than blacksmiths, apothecaries, and formation masters, there was another mysterious occupation in the Upper Nine Paths — — seer.
Seers specialize in divination. They are able to make use of unique techniques to foresee what is going to happen in the near future and make preparations accordingly.
Such a person could have known the questions of the examination beforehand and memorized the answers from the corresponding books. There was no need for him to finish reading all of the books.
Could it be that Miss Zhang is talented in this occupation? That was why he knew the questions he was going to ask, read them in advance in the Compendium Pavilion, and answered them perfectly!
That's why he knew that Yun Tao's formation wouldn't be able to trap the Gold Alloyed Panther... Now that she thought about it, it was indeed possible!
Just that...
This occupation only existed in the legends. Based on the ratio recorded in the books, there might not even be a single seer among billions of cultivators. It only existed in the illusory world and no one had ever seen it before.
If he really had such ability, he would have been able to prevent the matter of him scoring a zero in the Teacher Qualification Examination.
Besides, even a seer should only be able to foresee the gist of the matter. It was impossible for him to know what the questions of the examination were and which book it was in!
Shen Bi Ru's eyebrows knitted together as her thoughts ran wild. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
She thought that she understood Miss Zhang very well, but she realized that it was only the tip of the iceberg.
Even after thinking for a long time, she was still unable to come to a conclusion. Instead, she became even more curious about this Miss Zhang.
At this moment, she finally understood why Han Qiong said that she wasn't worthy of the other party. Indeed, even if she was beautiful and talented, she wasn't worthy of such a person.
As her thoughts ran wild, Zhu Jinhuang, Zhou Xuan, and the others widened their eyes.
"This lad... Is there something wrong with him? To only read books when the examination is about to begin? "
"There must be something wrong with his head. Otherwise, what's the point of reading at this moment?"
The duo muttered as they secretly glanced at Mo Yu. Her eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Just as they were about to say something to fawn on her, the goddess turned around and walked toward the library.
"Miss Mo Yu..." The two of them were about to rush over.
"Stay here. I'll break the legs of anyone who follows me!"
Coldly snorting, Mo Yu turned around and headed straight for the library.
"Damn it, damn it!"
Hearing Princess Mo Yu berating the two of them for a fellow whom she had just met, Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan's faces paled in anger.
However, their anger didn't last long before Miss Mo Yu returned. She was mumbling something and her face was either green or red, but it was hard to tell what she was saying.
The two of them looked at each other in confusion, but they were afraid of angering each other again, so they could only stand on the spot and scratch their heads anxiously.
After a while, Zhu Jinhuang finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He waved his hand, and a guard walked over and whispered a few words into his ear.
The guard took a big detour and arrived behind Miss Mo Yu. After listening for a while, he walked over with a strange look on his face.
"What did Princess Mo Yu say?"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, the duo hurriedly turned to look at him.
"She … kept saying 'flipping through the book, flipping through the book, flipping through the book' … I couldn't hear what she said clearly!"
The guard scratched his head.
"Flipping through the book?"
Zhu Jinhuang and Zhou Xuan stared at one another, and they could see the confusion on the other's face. At the same time, a thought emerged in their minds …
Could it be that … their goddess had gone mad?
…
Oblivious to the frenzy of the two goddesses in the hearts of others, Zhang Xuan was flipping through the books frenziedly, just as Mo Yu had said.
Initially, he thought that there would be several tens of thousands of books on beast taming in the library. However, upon entering the library, he realized how naive he was. There were at least several hundred thousand books in the library.
Even though it couldn't be compared to Tianxuan Kingdom's library, it wasn't too far off.
If Zhang Xuan were to continue browsing through the books, it would take him three days and three nights to finish them.
Initially, he thought that the beast tamer examination was a simple matter. If he were to spend so much time reading through the books, even if he didn't go mad, Hall Master Feng and the others would go mad first.
It was one thing for others to adjust their state of mind for two to four hours. However, if he were to spend several days on it and then walk out with bloodshot eyes, even a fool would suspect that something was amiss.
"If I don't flip through all of these books, the library won't be able to record them. If I were to stumble upon the knowledge contained within, I won't be able to pass the examination …"
A deep frown formed on Zhang Xuan's forehead. "If that's the case, I won't be able to enjoy the free benefits of the beast tamer examination …"
Even though he still had several tens of millions of gold coins in his storage ring, as an ordinary person who stayed at home in his previous life, he had already developed a habit of spending money … If he could avoid it, he would never!
This wasn't a problem of money, but … his principles!
"Flaws will appear in the Library of Heaven's Path just by touching an object. If I touch a bookshelf … will the contents of the books appear?"
Based on his usual speed, it was impossible for him to finish reading so many books. Could he think of a solution? Just as Zhang Xuan was frowning, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
As long as he touched a book, regardless of whether it was an unconscious human, savage beast, or artifact, books would appear in the Library of Heaven's Path, and all kinds of flaws would appear.
These books were placed on bookshelves. Would the contents of the books appear in the Library of Heaven's Path as soon as he touched them?
"Let me give it a try!"
Immediately putting his thoughts into action, Zhang Xuan walked to a bookshelf and grabbed it.
Hu!
The Library of Heaven's Path jolted, and a book appeared. Flipping it open, Zhang Xuan's body staggered, and he nearly spurted a mouthful of blood.
Written on it was: Xuanluo Mountain Range Beast Hall Library's third shelf. Made of camphor wood, 1-mo craftsman. Year 37 …
"That's not what I want …"
Tears nearly flowed down Zhang Xuan's cheeks.
Clearly, the flaws would only appear if one touched something with one's finger. Trickery was out of the question.
"Hmm? No, that's not it. I just have to touch it with my finger. In other words … even if I don't flip through these books, as long as I touch them, a book will appear, right? "
Zhang Xuan's first idea failed. Another thought flashed across his mind.
Regardless of how long it took, as long as he focused his mind and shouted 'flaws', a book would appear. Since that was the case, wouldn't it be possible for him to just touch the books without flipping through the pages?
"Let me give it a try …"
Narrowing his eyes, Zhang Xuan walked up to a pile of books, shouted 'flaws' in his mind, and swiped his palm over.
Hu hu hu!
Just as he was considering whether it would work or not, the Library of Heaven's Path jolted, and a row of books appeared in his mind.
"It works?"
With a reddened face, Zhang Xuan hurriedly took out a book and flipped it open. As expected, the contents of the book were perfectly imprinted within, and the various flaws were recorded as well.
"It really works!"
Zhang Xuan cried in agitation. After trying a few more times, he finally understood what was going on.
As long as he shouted 'flaws' in his mind, he would activate the Library of Heaven's Path, and wherever his finger passed, he would be able to collect the books.
This was more than a hundred times faster than flipping through books!
Even if he were to flip through more than a dozen books at once, he would have to first retrieve the books, and this would take up a lot of time. However, this wasn't the case at all. As he ran, wherever his finger passed, the books would naturally enter his mind. In less than a minute, he would be able to collect an entire shelf of books.
However, due to the speed at which he was collecting the books, the Library of Heaven's Path would tremble, and his mind would be in turmoil as well. As such, he wasn't able to collect everything in a single go. Usually, he would have to rest after collecting a few shelves.
Even so, he was still much faster than before.
Previously, he would have taken three days and three nights to finish reading. But now, he would only need two hours.
"Let's begin!"
Having found a better method to collect books, Zhang Xuan was delighted. Shouting inwardly, he placed his palm on the bookshelf and ran forward.
Every time he finished a row, he would check the books. If there were any flaws, he would return to make up for it.
As he collected the books swiftly, Zhang Xuan's knowledge on beast taming grew.
...
"Hall Master Feng, are you done preparing the examination papers?"
In the room, upon seeing Hall Master Feng walking over, Beast Tamer Lu and Beast Tamer Wang couldn't help but look at him.
"Un!" Hall Master Feng nodded his head. "There are several hundred types of savage beasts in the examination papers, and he didn't go easy on them. If he is able to answer all of these questions, his beast taming skills are indeed extraordinary."
"Since he was able to recognize the Ancient Lightning Cloud Sparrow, he shouldn't be too lacking in knowledge. Perhaps, he might succeed." Beast Tamer Lu replied.
"Indeed. Our Beast Hall has always been ranked last in the Beast Hall Tournament. This is because we are too remote, and we don't have any geniuses. If a genius were to appear, we might be able to advance to 3-star!"
Hall Master Feng's eyes flashed in excitement.
"Indeed, there's no rush. Let's wait for the results first!" Beast Tamer Wang replied. "We've only heard about it from Yun Tao, and to be honest, I still find it hard to believe that a Pixue realm savage beast can be tamed within ten minutes!"
"I don't really believe it either. However, not only did I ask Yun Tao, I also asked all of his subordinates. All of them said the same thing without any problems. Even if it's not as miraculous as the rumors say, it's not far off!"
Beast Tamer Lu continued.
"Indeed. No matter what, this is an opportunity for us. If we don't have the capability to do so, we can just continue looking for one. Ah, right, Zhang Xuan hasn't come out from the library yet? "
After saying those words, Hall Master Feng realized that the examinee hadn't appeared yet. He frowned.
"He isn't out yet!" Beast Tamer Lu nodded his head.
"Xiao Zhu, go and take a look!"
Hall Master Feng instructed.
Xiao Zhu was his apprentice, and he was currently learning beast taming from him. Upon hearing Hall Master Feng's instructions, he hurriedly rushed over. A moment later, he arrived before Zhang Xuan with a flushed face.
"What's wrong? He's still reading books? "
Seeing his apprentice's expression, Hall Master Feng frowned. He was perplexed. His apprentice had always been calm and composed. Did something happen to him?
"No..."
Xiao Zhu's face darkened in embarrassment. "He's... he's in the library... running!"
