The second classroom on the second floor had a brass tag reading Grade 9 Class 2 hanging above it.Spectra followed two boys into the class and headed to his seat near the window in the back. He stowed his backpack and began pondering the five attribute symbols at the bottom of his vision. Being introverted and new to the school, he had no friends in the class.The first class was mathematics, with a middle-aged woman as the professor. The material was elementary, so Spectra listened briefly before focusing on his thoughts. The language class followed, teaching the country's language, writing, and literature, but Spectra didn't pay much attention.The third class was etiquette, but instead of listening, Spectra tested the connection between the attributes and his body. Suddenly, the Potential attribute number in his vision shook, grabbing his attention.Startled, Spectra looked around, but no one seemed to notice. He glanced at the podium.The etiquette teacher, a man with an elegant

"It’s a Panaja Snake, a highly toxic amphibious snake! We need to get the poison out right away!" Spectra immediately recognized the snake and its danger. He hadn't just been living blindly in this new world; he had already learned most of its common knowledge. Plus, growing up in the countryside, the young Spectra had encountered this type of snake before.After he finished speaking, he kicked a cobblestone. Bang! The stone landed near the snake, causing it to slither away into the stream out of fear."How do I detoxify the venom!?" sobbed Brucy's cousin Enna, the only girl who hadn't been bitten."Rinse it with water, find some poplar leaves, then chew them to bits and apply them to the bites!" Spectra instructed.Despite the chaos, Spectra remained calm, contrasting with the overwhelmed students. He directed the boys to find poplar leaves and asked the girls to help clean the bite wounds and squeeze out the snake’s venom. They worked quickly, and though the bitten girls were distre

As soon as the change happened, Spectra felt a tingling sensation all over his body. Suddenly, his blood rushed faster, and the pleasant feeling turned cool and refreshing as his heart pounded rapidly.Watching the attribute column, Spectra saw his strength increase from 0.5 to 0.45 At that moment, his muscles screamed in pain, and a powerful force surged from various parts of his body.His arms, legs, and chest slightly expanded. Exhaling, Spectra felt the warmth of his breath.The elder spoke again, advising them to combine the Secret Method with basic techniques for maximum impact. He emphasized the explosive potential at each stage."There are no shortcuts! Only hard work!" the elder exclaimed, satisfied by the students' response.Everyone cheered, and the elder posted a paper before leaving.Spectra's body bulged with energy, but he didn't feel cold. He relaxed, unnoticed by others caught up in excitement.In the bustling hall, Erwin tapped Spectra's shoulder, asking how he felt.

After Spectra left, Old Man Gregor closed the front door and returned to the bookshelf. He opened the black hardcover book, running his fingers over the pages with a complex expression.It took him a while to go through the entire book."I should have expected this, but I couldn't resist clinging onto hope..."He shook his head, closing the pages one by one until he reached the cover. The black text had turned a dark red, as if fresh blood coursed through each stroke, coagulating into a sinister hue.As he stood there, a sense of foreboding lingered in the air, overshadowing the quiet of the night.Meanwhile, Spectra walked through the dimly lit streets, the weight of the book in his bag a constant reminder of the newfound energy coursing through him. Yet, beneath the excitement lay a nagging doubt, a feeling that something wasn't quite right.He couldn't shake off the unease as he made his way home, the streetlights casting long shadows that seemed to dance eerily in the night.Once

Weimar ascended the stage at the center of the hall and declared the start of the feast. He encouraged everyone to enjoy the banquet. Glasses were raised, laughter filled the air, and after some heartfelt speeches, Weimar stepped down from the stage, leaving the band to take over."By the way, Wei Sijia just left Kinstria. Her flight passed through Huaishan City, so she decided to take a rest here. I invited her today; she’ll drive over later. I guess she must be on the way now. Let’s finish eating and then go get her," Weimar announced, taking a sip of his Blood Wine."So soon?" Kalidor frowned. "I have friends here…""What does it matter? I’ll go explain to your friends and let them go home by themselves. It has been too long since our last gathering. It is such a rare opportunity this time.""How about we take them with us? They are all my friends, and we can introduce them to the others," Kalidor hesitantly suggested.Weimar showed an indifferent smile. "Kalidor, I hope that tonig
