The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

According to the classification standards for magical creatures in the Valen world, the Sunny Eagle already belongs to the category of low-level magical beasts.

The feathers of this bird of prey gradually harden under sunlight, forming a natural, metallic-like protection. At the same time, it can continuously restore its strength by absorbing light energy, making it an excellent form for long-distance flight.

Moran spread her iron-gray wings and glided high in the sky on the updraft.

Her destination was Moonshadow Island, inhabited by the Shadow Clan, who were skilled in shadow magic.

She plans to settle there, change her race, work as a shadow hunter, and learn shadow magic that is completely different from that of Greenwood Village.

The journey from Senyu Floating Island to Yueying Floating Island is quite long, requiring several days of flight even at the speed of a Sunny Eagle.

Furthermore, she plans to use this break to go to a small island near the Forest Island Floating Island and find a single-player dream instance called "Beast Jungle" to practice and improve her magic level using the Dream Time Disc.

As her wings swept past the third atoll, she finally spotted her target—a solitary island covered in dense vegetation, with a twisted, dreamlike portal faintly visible in its center.

She swooped down, reverting to human form as she approached the treetops, and landed lightly on the soft mossy ground.

"This is it..." Moran took out the Dream Disc, an item that can be obtained by hunting ten Dream Eaters and can stop the time in a single-player dungeon.

She caressed the starlight flowing across the disc and stepped into the dungeon gate area without hesitation.

However, the system notification that appeared as soon as she entered the instance stunned her:
Adventurer level detected: 1

[Current dungeon level cap: 20]

Upon seeing the dungeon's level cap, Moran was startled. He tried to mobilize his magic power and, as expected, felt the limitation.

The dungeon level cap is equivalent to the world level cap.

The limitation is the level of magic that can be cast.

Although her Ranger job hasn't been upgraded since her job change, and she can enter dungeons normally, it's impossible for her to practice her magic, which is already at a first-tier level, inside this dungeon. Forcibly breaking through the restrictions will only trigger the dungeon's rejection mechanism.

This instance makes it impossible for her to practice her magic.

"It seems I can only put it on hold for now..." Moran reluctantly withdrew his magic. The time difference practice of the Dream Disc was indeed tempting, but it could only be used in a single-player dungeon. As for improving his magic level, he could only wait until he went to the exploration area to find a single-player dungeon with a higher limit.

But since we're already here, we can't just do nothing.

She hasn't even learned those skill books she got from the federal deal yet!

This instance restricts magic power levels, but it doesn't restrict her from reading and studying here.

Even if you haven't changed your race or class yet, haven't experienced the corresponding magical energy, and don't know how to convert magic power, you can still read through and memorize the knowledge in those skill books.

This can also be considered as laying a foundation for later magic learning, saving some time.

While Moran was using the Dream Disc to freeze time and digest the knowledge in the skill book in the dungeon, Downs rushed to the Treeheart Inn in Emerald Wood Village. Sweat still clung to his forehead, clearly indicating he had run all the way there.

At the reception desk, Huang Ruihua was humming a little tune as she sorted through the ledgers, the flower stamens on her head swaying gently to the rhythm.

“Excuse me,” Downs said, taking a deep breath, “is the guest in the room at the end of the third branch still in the hotel? Could you please pass on a message for me?”

Old Groot just posted Moran's report card on the village bulletin board to promote and sell the village's Transformation courses. Only then did they realize that the Dreamers also have their own teaching system, and that Moran had completed all the Transformation courses in just two years with top marks.

Looking at the list of course names and grades, they realized that Moran had mastered so many skills in such a short time.

That's why I rushed over to find her, wanting to ask her about the courses at Cuimu Village and see if the teaching effectiveness is really that strong.

After all, the tuition fees that old Groot charged were really not low.

"The end of the third branch?" Huang Ruihua opened the registration book made of bark, the leaves sliding along the veins to a certain place. "Ah, that guest said yesterday that she was leaving today. The key has already been returned to the reception desk, and she should have already checked out and left."

Downs' fingers tightened suddenly, his voice filled with barely concealed urgency: "Did she say where she was going?"

"Why would an adventurer tell us her itinerary?" Huang Ruihua tilted her head and said, "But she'll probably leave Emerald Wood Village! I've heard that her shapeshifting ability is stronger than the village's shapeshifting master. Don't you adventurers all leave the village and go out to explore once you've reached a certain level of ability?"

Towns recalled his brief meetings with Moran with regret, wishing he had investigated Moran more thoroughly.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be assumed that she was just lucky and had a strong thirst for knowledge, which led her to discover the skill book.

I never imagined that they might have access to even better learning channels and had mastered so many skills.

Now that we've lost track of her, it's too late to say anything.

After leaving the Treeheart Inn, Downs spent a lot of money to buy "auditorship slots" from old Groot, allowing several Federation adventurers who were beastmen and forest rangers stationed in Emerald Wood Village to attend classes and try it out.

The results showed that having a mentor was indeed better than self-studying from skill books, but the improvement was not as amazing as Moran had demonstrated.

As Downs perused the information the adventurers had gathered from their lessons, his brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

In the course evaluation system of Mengmin Village in Cuimu Village, the level of "thorough mastery" of the skills book can only be considered poor and cannot be rated as excellent.

A complete Transfiguration course takes a full year, sometimes on and off. By the time Dreamers finish one course, they can generally grasp the basic Transfiguration techniques, but before Moran, the fastest they could get an excellent rating was after completing three courses.

But Moran? She only took one session of each course and received excellent ratings for all the transformation courses. She mastered animal transformation in one year and plant transformation in another year. So much so that old Groot saw an opportunity to profit and used her as a role model to attract adventurers to buy courses in the village.

This learning efficiency is simply unbelievable!
"What did we miss..." Towns murmured to himself, "Find her...we must find her!"

Back in the real world, Downs worked through the night to compile a detailed report. His intuition told him that Moran's incredible learning ability was even more valuable than the secrets of the skill book!
Meanwhile, Moran had finished digesting the knowledge from all the skill books and continued his journey to Moonshadow Floating Island. (End of Chapter)
