Chapter 3

~~

"Miss Ziyen seems to be angry!"

"How could Miss Ziyen not be angry when someone sleeps and even shouts loudly in her class?"

"Miss Ziyen is the goddess of our Nansheng Academy. If her admirers found out, they could drown Ye Wei with their spittle!"

The crowd wore smug smiles, as if they could already see Ye Wei's miserable appearance.

"Hmph, he brought it upon himself, no one else is to blame!" Xiao Qi sneered, a hint of ridicule in the corners of his mouth.

"Ye Wei, right? Have you heard the story of Emperor Chen Feng?"

Lin Ziyen looked at Ye Wei, her clear and elegant voice filled with earnestness. Although Ye Wei's talent was very poor, and he had no hope of becoming a martial artist in his lifetime, he was still her student, and it was her duty to teach him.

"When Emperor Chen Feng was young, his talent in the Sea of Insight was merely at the Red level. However, Emperor Chen Feng did not give up or blame fate. Instead, he focused all his thoughts on comprehending divine patterns, perfecting the Green Wood Divine Technique, the Savage Bull Divine Technique, the Fire Butterfly Divine Technique, and so on. At the age of thirty, he became a renowned Divine Pattern Master, creating various divine techniques, and his talent in the Sea of Insight improved from the Red level to the Blue level, eventually becoming a generation's Emperor!"

"Sea of Insight talent is not fixed. Perfecting divine techniques and creating new ones can resonate with the heavens, gaining the power of the Heavenly Dao, which can cleanse the Sea of Insight and enhance its talent!"

Although this is true, perfecting divine techniques and creating new ones is something only the noble 'Divine Pattern Master' can achieve, far beyond the reach of ordinary people!

A Divine Pattern Master is a profession that surpasses martial artists.

As the name suggests, Divine Pattern Masters are extremely proficient in divine pattern knowledge. They can perfect divine techniques, even create new ones, and write divine scrolls. Any Divine Pattern Master would be courted by all factions at any cost, holding an extremely prestigious status.

Nansheng Academy has only one Divine Pattern Master, and even the vice-principals and principal of the academy hold this Divine Pattern Master in high regard.

The Divine Pattern Master enjoys such treatment because they are extremely rare. The conditions to become a Divine Pattern Master are extremely stringent.

First, a Divine Pattern Master must master 360,000 basic divine patterns. Each basic divine pattern is extremely complex and has different attributes. Without talent, it would be impossible to master them in a lifetime.

Mastering 360,000 basic divine patterns is just the foundation for becoming a Divine Pattern Master. The most important thing is soul perception!

Only those with powerful soul perception can sense the imperfections in divine techniques. Under such stringent conditions, those qualified to become Divine Pattern Masters are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, which is why they have such a noble, almost畸形 status.

"Emperor Chen Feng?"

Ye Wei slowly nodded, listening to Lin Ziyen's words, a faint warmth enveloping his heart. He had slept and even shouted in class, but Lin Ziyen did not punish him; instead, she used the story of Emperor Chen Feng to inspire him.

"Learning is a long and arduous journey, but it's never too late to start. Come, identify these three divine patterns."

Miss Ziyen turned slightly, pointing to the three divine patterns she had written on the blackboard. As she turned, the white gauze dress revealed her exquisitely delicate collarbone. Lin Ziyen's slender figure and flowing long hair exuded an indescribable charm. The tight-fitting top accentuated her curvaceous figure.

"Ye Wei was snoring while Miss Ziyen explained those three divine patterns. How could he possibly identify them?"

"Ye Wei, the idiot, wouldn't recognize these divine patterns even if they recognized him!" The students mocked in low voices.

Xiao Qi, sitting below, curled his lips, a mocking smile on his face.

Xiao Qi's mocking smile caught Ye Wei's eye, and he inwardly sneered. He and Xiao Qi had never gotten along well in class. Ye Wei was only a one-star apprentice, while Xiao Qi was already a five-star apprentice. The outcome was predictable.

Would he have to be trampled on by despicable people like Xiao Qi for the rest of his life? Ye Wei would never accept that!

Ye Wei took a deep breath, looked up at the three basic divine patterns on the blackboard, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him. These divine patterns felt as familiar as if they flowed in his blood.

Ye Wei blurted out, "These three divine patterns are from the 'Still Water' seventy-two divine patterns, all of which are water-attribute divine patterns. Low-level spirit techniques like 'Triple Tide Palm,' 'Layered Wave Fist,' 'Parting Water Finger,' and 'Condensing Water Palm' all require these three divine patterns."

"The most commonly used technique among those that require these three divine patterns is the mid-level spirit technique 'Ice Mirror Seal'!"

Ye Wei spoke confidently, even surprising himself. As he spoke, the divine patterns in his Sea of Insight emitted a faint glow.

As Ye Wei's calm voice echoed through the classroom, all the students in the class were stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Ye Wei actually got it right!

"How is this possible?"

Xiao Qi's expression was stunned. When Miss Ziyen was lecturing, Ye Wei was clearly sleeping. How could he be so familiar with those three divine patterns?!

"Could Ye Wei have been pretending to sleep?"

"Very well said!" Lin Ziyen looked at Ye Wei approvingly, realizing that Ye Wei had not completely ignored the lecture and had learned something.

Hearing Lin Ziyen's praise, Ye Wei realized that the divine pattern knowledge he had comprehended in his dream was real! This was likely related to the mysterious old book, which had disappeared after he woke up.

In his Sea of Insight, countless divine patterns flowed, emitting golden light.

"Hmph, how could divine pattern knowledge be so easily mastered? If Miss Ziyen asks a deeper question, Ye Wei the fool will definitely not be able to answer!" Xiao Qi looked at Miss Ziyen with burning eyes, hoping she would ask another question to embarrass Ye Wei.

Lin Ziyen smiled slightly and said, "Then, how many types of divine patterns are used in 'Layered Wave Fist'? This was covered in the lecture just now!"

"Sixteen!"

"What about 'Parting Water Finger'?"

"Twenty-one!"

Ye Wei answered fluently.

To everyone's surprise, Ye Wei actually knew. The students looked at each other, wondering if Ye Wei had learned these things while sleeping. Of course, this was just their guess. They assumed Ye Wei had learned these things before class and was not listening during the lecture, as he was still having nightmares when Miss Ziyen was lecturing.

They did not know that Ye Wei had indeed learned these things while sleeping, and he had learned far more than they could imagine!

Lin Ziyen looked at Ye Wei, who appeared calm and confident, and decided to test his knowledge of divine patterns. She blinked and smiled, asking, "How many types of spirit techniques are there that are composed of these three divine patterns?"

All eyes in the class focused on Ye Wei again, their faces showing anticipation for the drama. Miss Ziyen's question had already exceeded the scope of the lesson, and even the students who had listened carefully could not answer, let alone Ye Wei, who had been sleeping.

"Besides me, who in the初级三班 can answer Miss Ziyen's question?"

Xiao Qi looked at Ye Wei, sneered, and slightly puffed out his chest, scanning the class with a proud gaze. He then looked at Miss Ziyen with anticipation, hoping she would let him answer when Ye Wei failed, which would allow him to shine in front of Miss Ziyen again.

Xiao Qi's parents were both senior class mentors at the academy, and in terms of divine pattern knowledge, no one in the初级三班 could match Xiao Qi!

"There are thirty-eight low-level spirit techniques, twelve mid-level spirit techniques, and six high-level spirit techniques composed of these three divine patterns!" Under the gaze of the class, Ye Wei did not back down, looking at Miss Ziyen calmly and confidently.

"Nonsense!!"

"Ye Wei, if you don't understand, don't speak recklessly and mislead others!" Xiao Qi suddenly stood up, looking down at Ye Wei with a condescending gaze, and sharply reprimanded him.

At that moment, the satisfaction in Xiao Qi's heart was indescribable. Without waiting for Miss Ziyen to speak, he could not help but stand up.

"So he was just guessing!"

"Seeing his calm demeanor, I thought he really knew."

"Ye Wei is quite the liar!"

Xiao Qi was the top student in the初级三班, far surpassing the other students in both martial arts and divine pattern knowledge. The other students naturally believed Xiao Qi and began to mock Ye Wei after hearing his harsh words.

"Ye Wei, let me tell you the correct answer! There are thirty-six low-level spirit techniques, ten mid-level spirit techniques, and five high-level spirit techniques composed of these three divine patterns!" Xiao Qi's face was filled with a mocking smile as he glanced at Ye Wei with disdain, feeling extremely pleased with himself. In terms of understanding divine patterns, who in the class could match him?

However, what Xiao Qi did not expect was that Miss Ziyen did not seem to criticize Ye Wei. She just looked at him in a daze, her clear and transparent eyes shining brightly.

Lin Ziyen slowly said, "Xiao Qi's answer is correct."

Xiao Qi immediately showed a proud expression, looking at Ye Wei mockingly. How could a trash like Ye Wei compare to him?

But then Lin Ziyen continued, "Ye Wei's answer is also correct!"

The class was stunned. How could both answers be correct?

Lin Ziyen looked at Ye Wei meaningfully and said, "Some techniques are too difficult to learn, and some techniques can cause adverse reactions after cultivation, so they are classified as forbidden techniques. Including forbidden techniques, Ye Wei's answer is correct!"

The class was in an uproar. That was the reason.

But forbidden techniques are listed in the academy's forbidden book library and can only be slightly understood after reaching the martial artist stage. Why did Ye Wei know about forbidden techniques?
