Thinking of this, Ye Huan hurriedly reached out his hand, wanting to turn to the first page of the book. However, before his fingers could even touch the Summoning Book, a rough hand shot out from the side and firmly grasped Ye Huan's wrist.
Following the hand in surprise, Ye Huan clearly saw Durei IV glaring at him fiercely. After their eyes met, Durei IV's voice rang in Ye Huan's ears: "What do you think you're doing?"
"I just want to open the book," Ye Huan replied with an awkward smile, feeling somewhat confused about why Durei IV was staring at him with such a fierce look.
"Open it? Do you really think you have the strength to turn to the first page of this book right now? To be honest, if you open that first page now, I can guarantee that in an instant, all the spiritual energy within you will be drained by this book, leaving you as nothing but a dried corpse!" Carefully releasing Ye Huan's hand, Durei IV quickly provided an answer.
"Ah? Then what should I do?" Withdrawing his hand from Durei IV's grip, Ye Huan looked at the Summoning Book with a hint of fear.
Shaking his head, Durei IV waved his hand and put away the Summoning Book. He then gazed at Ye Huan with a complex expression and slowly began to speak: "Under normal circumstances, we summoners only need to place the Summoning Book outside to absorb the spiritual energy from heaven and earth. From the moment you possess the Summoning Book to becoming a first-level summoner should only take about ten days. By then, you'll feel it.
However, with such a large Summoning Book, your rate of absorbing spiritual energy should be at least twice as fast as others. Five days? Or maybe a bit longer, six days?"
As he spoke, Durei IV's gaze never left the Summoning Book. This made Ye Huan understand why Durei IV had such an expression; absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy at double the speed meant that he would reach Ninth-Level Summoner much younger than Durei IV.
"Alright, since you already have the Summoning Book, let it stay outside for now! I’ll head back to the palace. I'll come by again tomorrow."
Having said everything he needed to say and done what he had to do, and considering that as Court Chief Summoner he had many responsibilities, Durei IV took his leave and turned away, leaving Ye Huan staring intently at the Summoning Book.
Standing once more at the entrance of the Ye Family home, Durei IV felt an indescribable complexity in his heart. What is a genius? A genius is someone who always stands on a higher starting line than others!
It was precisely because of this that there was one thing Durei IV hadn't told Ye Huan: simply possessing a physique that allowed crystals to emit colorful light meant that Ye Huan would absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy at least five times faster than an average summoner. This meant that while others needed ten days, perhaps Ye Huan would only need one day!
"Fortunately, Ye Huan is my disciple." As the fiery sunset painted the sky, Durei IV muttered to himself while slowly climbing onto a carriage, heading towards the palace...
The next morning...
Squatting over the latrine of the Ye Family, Ye Huan struggled to relieve himself while holding the Summoning Book high above his head, fearing that something might happen if it strayed too far from him. He cursed Durei IV, who was still fast asleep:
"That damn old man! Why didn't he tell me how to retract the Summoning Book back into my body? Am I supposed to carry this thing around forever?"
After finally finishing, Ye Huan cradled the Summoning Book and made his way to the dining hall of the Ye Family for breakfast.
In Huaxia Nation, family meetings were traditionally held during breakfast, as people’s minds were clearer in the morning, making communication more pleasant.
At this moment, in the Ye Family's dining hall, three people sat at a long table. One was undoubtedly Ye Tian, the head of the Ye Family. The second was Ye Luo, the family steward, dressed in a black aristocratic tailcoat and standing straight. The last was Ye Le, the second young master of the Ye Family. Although only fourteen years old, he bore a striking resemblance to Ye Tian and had a rather lewd expression.
When Ye Huan entered, all three pairs of eyes immediately turned towards him. However, for some reason, he felt a significant hostility from his half-brother Ye Le.
Unfazed, Ye Huan took a seat at an empty chair and casually asked Ye Tian, "Father, why hasn't Second Mother come?"
Second Mother, who was Ye Le's mother, had always been caring towards him. Since his biological mother had passed away long ago, he had come to regard Second Mother as his own mother over the years. That was why he asked.
Before Ye Huan's words had fully settled in the air, both Ye Tian and steward Ye Luo looked at him in surprise. Meanwhile, Ye Le showed little reaction and continued eating as if nothing had happened.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Huan instantly realized something was wrong. He quickly searched his memory and soon understood: in the Ye Family, women were not allowed to dine at the same table as men. Since Ye Huan had crossed over from the Twenty-First Century where equality was emphasized, he hadn’t paid attention to this detail.
Feeling embarrassed, he smiled awkwardly and placed the Summoning Book on one side of the table. Then he picked up his bowl and chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
Observing Ye Huan's performance, Ye Tian set down his bowl and chopsticks, lightly tapping his fingers on the table. After a moment of contemplation, he made a decision and spoke, "Ye Huan, there's something I need to tell you. Since you've become a Summoner, I will no longer restrict your outings. If you have some free time in the morning, feel free to go out for a stroll!"
"Huh?" Ye Huan raised his head in surprise, doubting whether he had misheard. Just yesterday, his father had said he could only go out once he reached Third Rank or above. Why had he changed his mind now?
Without further explanation or even a glance at Ye Huan, Ye Tian stood up and walked away with the butler Ye Luo, who had also resolved the meal issue. This left Ye Huan filled with questions and Ye Le, who was focused on stuffing food into his mouth.
Shaking his head, Ye Huan didn't dwell on why his father had made such a decision. Being allowed to go out was indeed a good thing for him, so he brushed it off and quietly continued eating.
After finishing his meal, Ye Huan eagerly wiped his mouth and grabbed his Summoning Book before heading toward the door. As he walked far away, Ye Tian and butler Ye Luo appeared at the entrance of the Ye Family estate.
"Sir, I heard that the ruffians the young master offended yesterday seem to be members of the Royal Dragon Hall. Is it wise to let him go out like this...?"
"Dragon Hall? It's just a small group formed by a sixth-level mage and some ruffians. There's a saying: jade must be carved to become a gem. Since this trouble was caused by Ye Huan himself, let him deal with it! After all, he is now a Summoner."
Unaware that two people were silently watching him leave, Ye Huan arrived on the bustling streets of the capital with a mix of excitement and curiosity. Although he had learned from the memories left by the previous owner of this body that the capital was quite prosperous, seeing it with his own eyes was an entirely different experience.
Unlike the cities of the Twenty-First Century, here small stalls selling various goods lined the streets. Behind these stalls were countless shops crowded together—restaurants, fabric stores, and money exchanges—reminiscent of ancient China.
"Hey? What's that?"
As he walked along, a unique building suddenly caught Ye Huan's attention. Standing twenty meters tall and covering several hundred square meters, this building appeared unusually spacious compared to the bustling shops around it. A few people entered and exited with swords sheathed at their waists, and prominently displayed above its entrance was a large character for "Martial."
Growing increasingly curious, Ye Huan hesitated for a moment before making a bold decision: he would go inside. He took a few steps toward the entrance of the building.
"Sorry, non-warriors are not allowed to enter the Warrior Association."
As one foot was about to step through the entrance of the building, two gleaming long swords suddenly appeared before Ye Huan, blocking his path.
Following the swords to their owners, Ye Huan saw two men in tight-fitting outfits standing inside the doorway. His instincts told him that these two possessed a strength far beyond what he could handle at the moment.
"Well, you two guarding the door sure have guts, huh? You dare to stop the young master of the Ye Family? Do you want to face the wrath of a Ninth-Level Expert?"
Just as Ye Huan was considering retreating, a strangely familiar voice rang out from behind him, drawing both his and the two men's attention toward its source.
"It's you guys?" Turning his head, Ye Huan clearly saw four muscular men dressed in martial artist outfits looking at him with disdain. Coincidentally, he recognized all four of them. In fact, he owed them a debt of gratitude! If they hadn't knocked out the previous Ye Huan, he wouldn't have been able to traverse into this world!
"Ah? Young Master Ye remembers us little ruffians? We are truly honored!" they laughed heartily.
Upon hearing Ye Huan's words, the four men burst into laughter. Although their words were respectful, their tone was anything but pleasant.
Everyone has their limits. At first, Ye Huan could overlook their sarcastic remarks, but within such a short time, these four ruffians had mocked him twice. The onlookers nearby sensed something was off and began to distance themselves to watch from afar. If this continued in front of so many people without any response from him, it would not only tarnish the honor of the Ye Family but also make Ye Huan seem far from manly…
