Everyone is born with a star spirit, and the cultivation of star power revolves around the star spirit. The strength of the star spirit determines the effectiveness of cultivation and affects the maximum amount of star power one can obtain.

Star spirits are inherently divided into strong and weak, and also have different attributes. The attribute of a cultivation technique is actually the attribute of the star spirit, and the difference in strength only determines the early stages. Later on, it depends on personal cultivation, which gives everyone a chance to become strong.

However, generally, the strength in the early stages determines people's choices. Especially for ordinary people, the weaker the star spirit at the beginning, the more they have to sacrifice, making ordinary people unwilling or even unable to bear the cost.

Among the four attributes of wind, fire, water, and earth, generally speaking, wind and fire are the best, with water and earth being secondary. Jack Harper's star spirit attribute is quite good—it's the fire attribute, which has the strongest attack power—but his star spirit is rather weak, and his physical talent is also quite average.

Previously, he was cultivating the Lihuo Technique. Obviously, for someone as useless as him, there was no need to choose those refined and profound techniques; the common ones would suffice.

“Better just stick with the Lihuo Technique!”

Jack Harper still decided to continue with the Lihuo Technique. As mentioned above, his physical talent is average, so there's no need to try his luck with other techniques. Strength is something that accumulates over time anyway; no matter how fast you go, it won't make much difference.

“Huh?”

When Jack Harper opened the book, he discovered something that surprised him. After glancing at the first page, as he was about to continue reading, he suddenly realized that he seemed to know the words on the following pages without even looking at them.

Could it be because he had read it before?

No, even if he had read it before, there’s no way he could remember it word for word. Huh, what's that on the side?

At this moment, Jack Harper suddenly noticed a page floating in the air before his eyes, and next to it appeared the text he had just read, also floating in the air and glowing.

He stared blankly for a moment, then waved his hand through the air. What happened next surprised him even more—his hand actually passed through the floating page and text, but his hand didn’t block them at all, as if they were transparent.

He immediately squeezed his eyes shut, then opened them again, only to find the page had disappeared, but the text remained.

Chapter 4: Flirting?

“Hey, did you see any words here?”

Jack Harper grabbed a passerby and pointed to the words he saw, asking.

“Yes, there are words on the book, so what? Your way of hitting on people is so old-fashioned!”

Jack Harper only heard a beautiful yet cold voice, then his hand was twisted away and he was thrown heavily to the ground, so hard that he saw stars.

“Xiaobai, your move is really something—pretending to read a book and then asking someone a weird question to get their attention. Don’t you think your trick is a bit too obvious?”

Before Jack Harper could react, he heard the voices of those useless playboys and realized he was already surrounded by them.

“What?” Jack Harper asked in confusion.

“Stop pretending. You came to the library just to hit on someone. I just didn’t expect you’d have the guts to grab her hand. Do you know you’re about to become the public enemy of all the men in the capital?” one of the playboys said.

“What are you talking about?” Jack Harper still didn’t understand.

“Do you really not know who you just grabbed?”

“No, and I’m not interested in knowing. Even if the empress herself were in front of me right now, I wouldn’t have time to care about her.” Jack Harper waved his hand, not wanting to continue with this matter, because he had something more important in front of him.

What’s up with these words? Am I the only one who can see them? What does this mean? If this is a special ability, why does it only show the page and the words, and only I can see them? What’s the use of that?

Wait, the page, the words?

Could this be a photographic memory ability? If so, that’s actually a good thing. Although the world values strength above all, that doesn’t mean other things are useless. Things like mechanism techniques and star array techniques are all very important. As long as you achieve something in one area, you can still become a successful person—much better than being a useless nobody.

Yeah, from now on I’ll rely on my brain. Isn’t that the dream of us modern people? Martial strength and all that is already outdated!!

Jack Harper closed his eyes and recalled the content of the first page he had just read, and found that the page and the text appeared clearly in his mind, even clearer than before, not just floating in the air.

Could it be that what he saw earlier was just a virtual image added to his vision?

Very quickly, Jack Harper figured it out. It turned out he really did have a unique ability: after glancing at a page, he could record the entire page in his mind, like taking a photo, and then extract the text from the page. The extraction was extremely fast, almost instantaneous.

The page and the text were both virtual images, created by his mind, and now he could already control the switch, position, and size of these virtual images.

What is going on?
