I have a Tantric panel

The next morning.

Stepping into the morning light and through the cool mist, Xia En entered the school gate, the white cypress trees on both sides of the road seeming to greet him.

He's in a good mood today.

The reason is that when I woke up this morning, my [Constitution] on the panel naturally increased from (-1) to (0).

This means that he finally has the physique of a normal adult male.

This also satisfies the condition of "physical fitness ≥ 0".

You only need to grind [Rationality] to (1) to add points to [Health].

However, as Xia En walked through the campus, she felt that something was wrong.

Some students were secretly watching him.

His eyes were filled with inquiry and curiosity.

"Is it him?"

"It looks like him!"

"Tsk, she's actually quite good-looking..."

Shane had good hearing and overheard the students' quiet conversation.

It was hard for him not to find it strange.

Her fame was actually limited to the students in Aurora's class, and its reach was very small.

But now, it seems like a lot of people know him?

With a slight sense of doubt, Xia En walked into the red brick teaching building.

In the corridor of the art academy, he also met Mr. White—the professor who had punished him for his work mistake.

For the first time ever, the staid Mr. White actually nodded slightly to him: "Good morning, Shane."

Xia En was completely bewildered, but she quickly returned the greeting.

Not only Mr. White, but many faculty and staff members greeted him as if they were meeting him for the first time.

...This...this isn't right, is it?

Xia En's doubts deepened.

This question was only answered when Ronan slapped him hard on the back.

"Shane, you're in the newspaper!"

"Um?"

"See for yourself!"

Upon receiving the "Beijing Morning Post" from Ronan, Xia En suddenly realized what was going on.

The largest section in the middle of the newspaper prominently displayed the following:

Rising stage star Freya Adler attended a charity gala and donated 5000 Gold Crown Coins to an orphanage!

Judging from the title alone, it obviously has nothing to do with Shane.

The key is the photo under the title.

This is a group photo taken at a banquet.

The group photo shows five people standing together—Freya, Shane, Lucius, Irene, and Alara.

All five people are handsome men and beautiful women, and the photo is quite pleasing to the eye against the backdrop of the banquet hall.

That's right.

This photo was clearly taken while Shane and the others were talking!

The photo's angle is clearly not a frontal shot; it looks more like a candid shot taken from a corner.

Freya is naturally positioned at the center of the photograph.

Xia En, standing next to her, also occupied a considerable area.

Furthermore, the two were standing very close together, creating a sense of intimate ambiguity that instinctively made people suspect that there might be something going on between them.

"..."

Xia En's lips twitched.

He had to admire the skill of these reporters.

I only exchanged two words with Freya, and they still managed to take a picture.

Moreover, even though there were solo photos of Freya, they chose to publish this particular photo.

They know perfectly well which photos will generate buzz and traffic!

Everything that was unusual this morning has now been explained.

The students are most interested in gossip.

They find it even more irresistible to gossip about stage stars.

Teachers may not believe the reporter's photos.

But wearing an expensive suit to a dinner party and standing next to Freya is itself a form of proof of status.

Even now, though Xia En has changed back to simple clothes, the teachers will no longer treat him as just a penniless boy as before.

"hateful!"

Ronan, holding the newspaper, couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

"If the professor hadn't called me away, I'd be in this photo too!"

"This was such a great opportunity to take a photo with Miss Freya, I was so close... so close!"

It's clear that he really likes Freya.

"puff."

"You smiled, didn't you?"

"That's not true."

"Aaaaah, I'll punch you!"

"Next time I see her, I'll bring you her autograph."

"Brother...brother! I spoke a little too loudly just now..."

……

……

Playing is playing, and making a fuss is making a fuss.

Xia Enke hadn't forgotten her important business.

He returned to Alara's office and sat down in front of "Heart Lake".

[Analysis Progress: 72%]

At the previous pace, it would probably take most of the day to decipher the remaining 28%.

However, there isn't enough time if they want to receive Aurora's special training.

"Try that one."

Xia En's mind sank into his thoughts.

The pure white "Torch of Truth" floated there.

"Light it up."

The next moment, the candle was lit, and the gentle light slowly spread.

Xia En dared not waste the candlelight and immediately looked at the oil painting in front of him.

[Progress of the analysis: 72%...75%...77%...]

Immediate results!

The speed is more than twice as fast.

Clang! Clang! Clang...

The bells of Akarin University echoed across the campus.

Alara pushed open the oak door and saw Shane, who was engrossed in his work.

She couldn't help but squint.

Because in the eyes of the young man in front of the painting, there was a faint glow.

That light, like both flame and platinum, symbolized truth.

Soon, the light receded into the depths of his pupils.

Xia En closed his eyes, and in just two short breaths, a calm and serene aura, like that of a lake, rose up.

When he opened his eyes again, he gave off a completely different feeling.

Gazing at him is like gazing at a deep, still lake—what lies in the depths of that lake? It's best not to seek it out.

"Have you mastered the [Deep Dive Meditation Method]?"

"Um."

Xia En nodded.

Upon hearing this, Aurora's eyelids twitched slightly.

From the moment I came across "Heart Lake" to the moment I learned the "Deep Dive Meditation Method," it probably took less than three days, right?

What speed is that?

Based on Alara's experience, anyone who can learn this meditation technique within six months is already considered a promising talent.

If one can master it within a month, they are an extremely rare genius, worthy of the family behind the scenes investing heavily in their training.

Ara learned the Deep Dive Meditation technique in just two weeks!

Therefore, she understood even more the absurdity of this speed.

To prevent Shane from getting carried away, Ara didn't say anything about these things, but just spoke up quietly.

"Very good, now you have a stepping stone to the other side of the curtain."

"What needs to be done next is to accumulate experience step by step."

Xia En: "Yes."

He showed no arrogance whatsoever.

Not only did I use the [Interpretation] ability, but I also consumed [Day Master's] [Truth Candlelight].

It would be strange if it wasn't fast!

[Current remaining candlelight: 87%]

I glanced at the panel; the previous interpretation had consumed 13% of my candlelight.

It doesn't seem to last very long.

Or is it that "interpreting" consumes more candlelight than "learning" or "memorizing"?

As the thought crossed her mind, Alara had already moved five thick books from the bookshelf, each one thicker and heavier than a brick.

"Finish reading these five books within this week."

Xia En's lips twitched, and his gaze unconsciously drifted to the cover of the first book.

The Church and the Throne: A History of Church-State Relations in Albion

"???"

He couldn't help but ask, "Professor, what kind of books are these?"

"History book".

Aurora rarely smiled.

"The first thing to do if you want to participate in the White Canvas Award is to study history."

"History is a canvas that is repeatedly painted over."

"What you need to do is find your own truth."
