The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 710 Dream World 48
"Ordinary people have only one shadow, but the shadow of a shadow hunter is like a mother tree, which can nurture thousands of child shadows while retaining the most important original shadow."

Remember, raising shadow pets should not be rushed; it's best to raise one at a time. If a shadow pet shows signs of illness or mental confusion, it should be stopped immediately for rest.

This book ends here.

Moran reluctantly put the book back on the shelf, his gaze lingering on the other books.

"The Shadow Pet Raising Manual", "One Hundred Ailments Suitable for Shadow Therapy", "The Art of Shadow Repair", "How to Raise a Shadow from Scratch"...

She was very interested in each book and couldn't wait to take a look. Unfortunately, Professor Martina only told her that she could read "Shadow Analysis" and didn't say whether she could touch the others.

Moran was quite sensible; without permission, she refrained from looking, no matter how much she wanted to.

Just as I was wondering what else I could do, I heard thumping footsteps coming from the stairs.

Overjoyed, she rushed to the stairs and, sure enough, saw Ms. Martina.

"Teacher!" Moran asked eagerly, "Can I look at the other books on the bookshelf?"

Martina was wearing a pure black bathrobe, her gray hair was still dripping wet, and her already dark complexion became even darker after hearing what she said.

Their bodies weren't as pristine as the adventurers', so they prepared to take a bath before returning to their rooms to sleep.

Worried that she would miss her apprentice's teaching time, she specially left a shadow bug in the second-floor corridor so that it could wake her up as soon as it saw Moran wake up.

As soon as she stepped into the bathtub, the shadow bug rushed over to report that her good apprentice had already gotten up and gone downstairs.

I clearly told her to rest and recover her shadow power, but instead, she asked me for other books to read when she saw me come down!
"Have you rested?"

Martina spat out those words through gritted teeth, and the shadow behind her suddenly grew longer, twisting into a ferocious beast on the stone wall, ready to devour anyone who dared to challenge her. "You reckless little brat, do you think it's fun to have your shadow power depleted? Why don't you get some rest and sleep!"

"Teacher, my shadow power has been fully restored!" Moran quickly raised his hand, converting his abundant magic power into shadow power. A wisp of black mist appeared above his pale palm. "I just returned to my own world and took a nap. When I woke up, my shadow power was completely restored."

She fabricated lies without batting an eye.

Although the inhabitants of the dream world knew that the adventurers came from another world, they had no idea that that world had no magical energy at all.

This unfalsifiable excuse is her best shield to gain more study time.

Martina's furious aura subsided slightly, but her brow remained furrowed: "Then let's study 'Shadow Analysis'! Theoretical learning has little to do with shadow talent; it's all about hard work and diligence. Don't aim too high!"

“Um… teacher,” Moran interrupted softly, “I’ve finished reading *Shadow Analysis*.”

“There’s a big difference between watching and understanding—wait,” Martina suddenly froze, her outstretched shadow freezing in place, “You said you’ve watched it?”

She glared at the student in front of her.

I only took a quick shower, and even skipped my favorite herbal bath because I was worried that this reckless disciple's forced practice would deplete his shadow power. But this little monster actually finished reading the entire book "Shadow Analysis"?

“I not only read it all,” Moran confessed frankly, “I also memorized it all.” She lightly tapped her temple with her fingertip, her pure black eyes full of innocence: “Why don’t you test me?”

For the first time, a blank expression appeared on Martina's wrinkled face, and her shadow suddenly slammed back onto the ground like a startled cat.

"How is this possible..." she muttered dryly to herself. This book, while not a huge volume, wasn't something she could finish reading and master in such a short time!

She plans to cover several chapters of this book each day, and it will take at least three days!
Because it was so unbelievable, she actually tested Moran with quite a few questions, including not only important knowledge points from the book, but also several tricky questions and seemingly insignificant knowledge points. As a result, Moran not only answered fluently, but could also accurately reproduce the original text.

Clearly, she wasn't lying; she really did remember it and had a good grasp of it.

Faced with the facts, Martina had no choice but to believe it.

After a long while, she finally regained her voice from her shock: "Little monster... you can read these books if you want!"

After saying that, he turned around and went upstairs, his steps heavier than usual.

The little monster student doesn't need to rest, she does!

Moreover, given her learning ability, it seems there's no need for her to personally explain any theories; she can learn them on her own without any problem.

As I reached the corner of the stairs, something occurred to me, and I suddenly turned around abruptly:

"Remember! Don't try to breed shadow pets without me around! There are plenty of examples in the village of people who tried to breed shadow pets and ended up going crazy."

Moran nodded obediently, watching Martina's figure disappear at the end of the stairs. Only when she heard the heavy sound of a door closing on the second floor did she burst out laughing.

"Great!" she exclaimed softly, her dark eyes scanning the bookshelf with excitement. "So many more books to read!"

He immediately returned to the bookshelf and pulled out another book to read.

As she read more, the scattered knowledge she had previously seen in skill books suddenly began to form a complete picture in her mind, like pieces of a puzzle.

Many obscure theories can be found in Martina's detailed annotations in the book, which makes Moran's reading completely easy.

……

Martina was awakened by an enticing aroma. She opened her eyes with a frown, and the shadow bugs, seeing that she was awake, immediately gathered in the shadows by the bed and began to chatter about everything that had happened downstairs.

"What? She read through all the books?"

Martina sat up abruptly, nearly twisting her back.

The shadow bugs nodded eagerly, gesturing to describe Moran's strange behavior of sitting in front of the fireplace in a daze, and then suddenly starting to cook.

Martina listened and couldn't help but confirm with the Shadow Bugs several times before she believed that she had really only slept for a few hours, not several days.

"What a little monster!" Martina muttered, wide awake. She quickly changed into her usual grey linen robe, grabbed her walking stick and cloak, and hurried downstairs.

As soon as you go downstairs, the aroma of food wafts towards you.

Moran was standing in front of the kitchen counter, her long hair casually tied up and secured with a vine.

The wooden spoon in her hand drew graceful arcs in the iron pot, and the food in the pot made a pleasant "sizzling" sound.
