Chapter 4

"How could this be? Ye Wei can't possibly know about divine techniques and forbidden arts. He must have guessed! He must have guessed!" Xiao Qi was very unwilling, his eyes filled with intense hostility as he looked at Ye Wei. This was the first time someone in the初级三班 (Elementary Class Three) had outshone him!

And it was in front of Miss Ziyan!

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face!

Lin Ziyuan, however, was quite surprised. If he had only gotten one right, it might have been a guess, but to guess all three correctly, the probability was too small.

"Ye Wei, how did you know that those three divine patterns can form thirty-eight low-level spirit techniques, twelve mid-level spirit techniques, and six high-level spirit techniques?"

Miss Ziyan stared straight at Ye Wei, her clear eyes like shining black gems. She was very puzzled. How could Ye Wei know about these divine pattern techniques?

Even she had originally thought that those three divine patterns could only form thirty-six low-level spirit techniques, ten mid-level spirit techniques, and five high-level spirit techniques. It was only during a discussion with the vice-principal about the 'Seventy-Two Divine Patterns of Ice' that she inadvertently learned from the vice-principal that some of them were forbidden arts that ordinary people could not access!

Ye Wei was just an ordinary student in the Elementary Class Three of Nanxing Academy. How did he know about these techniques?

When teaching students, mentors would not explain any divine techniques or forbidden arts. Most books would not record such techniques either. Only the 28th revision of the 'Divine Pattern Dao Canon' recorded those divine techniques and forbidden arts.

The 'Divine Pattern Dao Canon' was a comprehensive compilation of the world's knowledge. Apart from the divine pattern masters who specialized in divine pattern knowledge, very few people would study the 'Divine Pattern Dao Canon' because it was vast, consisting of seventy-two volumes, each with millions of words. Some people could not finish reading it in their entire lifetime.

"Miss Ziyan, this is just common knowledge. The more you read, the more you know..." Ye Wei shrugged and calmly answered Lin Ziyuan's question.

The brief conversation between Miss Ziyan and Ye Wei caught the attention of the other students in the class, causing their gazes to turn to Ye Wei, their hearts surging with waves of emotion. Ye Wei was actually so proficient in divine pattern knowledge, even knowing some secret divine techniques and forbidden arts?!

Was this Ye Wei really the same timid, Red-Level Sea of Consciousness waste from before?

The students couldn't help but look at Ye Wei with new eyes, their opinions of him beginning to waver.

Xiao Qi clenched his fists tightly and glared at Ye Wei. Even if Ye Wei had luckily learned some divine pattern knowledge, so what? Could Ye Wei create his own divine techniques? As long as he couldn't create his own divine techniques, Ye Wei would always be a Red-Level Sea of Consciousness trash, never able to enter the martial realm!

Don't think you're so great just because you outshone everyone in this class. You're still just a one-star apprentice. Wait until after class, and I'll teach you a lesson! Xiao Qi sat down angrily, his authority in the class was not to be challenged!

Although Ye Wei's Sea of Consciousness talent was only Red-Level, if he could master various divine pattern knowledge, he might have the potential to become a divine pattern master! Like Chen Feng, if he could gradually create his own primary divine techniques, he could gain the recognition of the Heavenly Dao, and his Sea of Consciousness talent would slowly improve!

Miss Ziyan suddenly had a thought, thinking to herself, "They all say Ye Wei is a martial arts waste. Could he have secretly learned a lot of divine pattern knowledge? No wonder he falls asleep in class, he might be studying too late at night. Maybe he really has the potential to become a divine pattern master?"

This thought made Miss Ziyan's heart race. The value of cultivating a divine pattern master was hundreds of times greater than cultivating a martial artist!

"To become a divine pattern master, the most important thing is soul perception. Let's test him again!"

Miss Ziyan looked up at Ye Wei.

"Take a look at this divine technique!"

Miss Ziyan's delicate hand waved, and invisible mental power gathered at her fingertips. The primordial energy in her dantian quietly surged out. Then, using mental power as the brush and primordial energy as the ink, Miss Ziyan drew thirty-six divine patterns in the air.

The complex and intricate divine patterns combined in a mysterious way, forming a tidal pattern. There was a faint sound of waves in the air, and even a slight salty sea smell lingered at the tip of the nose. A powerful tidal force rushed towards them.

If used in combat, the tidal force would erupt, wave after wave, with astonishing power.

The Low-Level Spirit Technique: Three-Tier Tidal Palm!

The students in the class stared intently at the tidal pattern floating in front of Miss Ziyan, their young faces showing excitement and longing.

"Divine technique, this is a divine technique!"

To reach the Seven-Star Apprentice realm, the primordial energy in the dantian must be sufficient to support the use of divine techniques. The students in the elementary class were not strong enough, and even the top student, Xiao Qi, was only at the Five-Star Apprentice realm, not qualified to use divine techniques. Suddenly seeing Miss Ziyan use a divine technique, the students couldn't help but be excited.

"See if you can spot the problem!"

Miss Ziyan looked straight at Ye Wei, her eyes filled with anticipation, slightly heated. To test Ye Wei's soul perception, she deliberately left a flaw when using this divine technique, making it less powerful than the normal Three-Tier Tidal Palm.

"Something's not right!"

Unlike the other students, Ye Wei was not overly excited. His gaze fell on the thirty-six divine patterns, slightly puzzled, focusing on three nodes, frowning slightly.

There were three obvious errors in the divine technique Miss Ziyan used!

"How could Miss Ziyan, a standout in the Nanxing Academy's genius class, already a Ten-Star Apprentice and about to become a martial artist, make such a low-level mistake with the Three-Tier Tidal Palm, which is just a low-level spirit technique?"

Ye Wei was puzzled. The three errors were too obvious, and he couldn't believe Miss Ziyan would make such a low-level mistake. He didn't know the exact form of the Three-Tier Tidal Palm, but he knew which nodes were not perfect.

What Ye Wei didn't know was that Miss Ziyan had deliberately left one error, and he had spotted three!

"Miss Ziyan..."

Ye Wei was hesitant. He didn't know that Miss Ziyan was testing his soul perception and didn't know whether he should point out her errors in front of the other students.

After all, being pointed out by a student in front of the entire class was a very embarrassing thing!

"Whatever the problem is, speak boldly. The teacher won't be angry!"

Miss Ziyan saw Ye Wei's hesitation, smiled, and gently patted his shoulder, encouraging him.

Looking at Miss Ziyan's encouraging eyes up close, a faint scent of a young girl wafted to his nose, making Ye Wei feel his face turn slightly red. After a brief moment of thought, Ye Wei bit his lip, no longer hesitating, and pointed to the most obvious of the three errors, saying softly, "This divine pattern node... seems to have a problem. The flow of primordial energy is not smooth enough, and it may not be able to fully unleash the power of the Three-Tier Tidal Palm..."
