Chapter 2 Timeline
Li Yusong took the dissected pork out of his storage soul tool and began to cook it.
Before long, a rich aroma of roasted meat filled the air.
"Come on, Xiao Chen, let's eat! Be careful not to burn yourself, hahaha!"
Li Yusong looked at his grandson, who had returned to normal, with relief in his eyes.
"Alright, Grandpa won't be polite then, ooh!"
Li Luochen didn't want to be polite. He was starving and had spent the afternoon sorting through his memories. Using his brain was too physically demanding.
A grandfather and grandson were enjoying a barbecue, a heartwarming scene that some people on the mainland could never experience.
"Grandpa, you seem to have told me before that you were a teacher at an academy. What academy? Are there any outstanding students there?"
Li Luochen wanted to inquire about the timeline. He knew it should be earlier than the original timeline because his grandfather, Li Yusong, appeared as a level 63 Soul Emperor.
Li Yusong is currently level 58. At his age, he is still a few years away from becoming a Soul Emperor. The golden age for Soul Masters to cultivate is before the age of forty. After the golden age, the cultivation speed will drop significantly.
"Grandpa is now a teacher at an academy called Shrek Academy. The dean is a good friend of Grandpa's. Flander, the four-eyed cat owl, is now a Soul Emperor level expert. He is only around forty years old."
The vice-dean, Immovable King Zhao Wuji, is also a Soul Emperor. There are several other Soul King teachers as well, so the teaching staff is quite good.
There are two students. Shrek Academy mainly teaches monsters. One of them is Qin Ming, whose martial soul is the Fiery Wolf. He is 19 years old and his soul power level is 42, which is outstanding and he has reached the graduation age.
The other one is named Mo Yu, whose martial soul is the Wind and Thunder Wings. He is 18 years old and his soul power level is 37. He has good talent, but unfortunately his mentality is not good enough. He often feels a lot of pressure, probably because Qin Ming is too outstanding.
Li Luochen listened slowly. He could say that he was one of the first students of Shrek Academy. He knew Qin Ming, but the claim that he was later hailed as the second youngest Soul Emperor was certainly somewhat exaggerated.
The other student, Mo Yu, is likely an ungraduated Shrek Academy student. Being accepted into Shrek Academy means he must be exceptionally talented; at 12 years old, he was already at level 25 or higher. At 18 years old and level 37, without any mimicry training or resources, he is an outstanding student.
He knew the specifics of Shrek Academy. The teaching level was just so-so, and there were no cultivation resources. Mimicry cultivation was very suitable for people with conventional attributes like Qin Ming and Mo Yu. Qin Ming was really amazing, reaching level 42 at 19 years old. His talent was really high. Although Mo Yu was a bit lacking, he was still a genius.
"Grandpa, what you just said about Mo Yu not being able to graduate? Why is that? Being 18 and in the 37th grade is already amazing!"
Li Luochen asked in confusion
"Our Shrek Academy's graduation requirement is to reach the Soul Master level before the age of 20. Since he broke through level 35, he has only made progress every six months or so. Maybe it's because of the pressure."
In fact, Li Yusong also knew that their academy was just a small village with no cultivation resources. Although Dean Flander was protective of his students, he was also a miser who even delayed paying salaries. Apart from being a miser, he was otherwise alright. Moreover, he was already a Soul Emperor at a young age and would definitely become a Soul Douluo in the future.
After that, Li Luochen stopped asking. Asking too much wouldn't necessarily make Li Yusong know the answer. His grandfather was only keeping an eye on him. Besides, Li Luochen hadn't even awakened his martial soul yet. What if he didn't have innate soul power? Wouldn't that be a waste of his knowledge?
However, he should first look at books about spirit beasts and other related knowledge. He can still learn about martial spirits. In addition, Li Luochen wants to start a side business and learn some medical skills. In case it comes in handy in the future, he can find a quiet village far away from the center of the continent to live out his old age and make a living as a barefoot doctor.
"Grandpa, my mind is clear now. Do you have any books about Soul Masters or something? Could I take a look? I'm bored at home anyway." Li Luochen thought for a moment that there were still three years until his Martial Soul Awakening. He could start reading first since he had nothing else to do. He didn't know Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, which he had been cultivating since childhood and whose days were incredibly fulfilling.
Although he had studied the health preservation techniques of Earth in his previous life, he didn't know if they were applicable. After all, they were only used for physical fitness there, and he didn't know if they could be used here.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Chen, as long as you have something you like to do, that's fine. Here, this is Grandpa's collection of soul beast illustrations. It has a very complete list of soul beasts. It's something Grandpa collected when he was young and I'm giving it to you."
Li Yusong took out a book from his storage soul tool and handed it to Li Luochen. The cover of the book was quite worn, and the pages inside were yellowed, clearly indicating that it was an old book.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa. By the way, Grandpa, I want to learn some medical skills. Could you help me find some medical books? That's what I'm thinking."
"Soul awakening is unstable. If my awakened talent isn't good, I won't become a Soul Master anymore. Becoming a barefoot doctor wouldn't be bad either; at least I'd have a job."
Li Yusong frowned upon hearing his grandson's words. Although he was pleased that his grandson had returned to normal, his grandson's lack of confidence made him somewhat uncomfortable.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. His deceased son only had a level three innate soul power and hadn't even inherited his Dragon Pattern Staff yet. He had only awakened a wooden staff, so his talent was too low. He was destined not to reach the Soul King level and only became a Great Soul Master in his twenties.
He wouldn't have been killed by a soul beast when he and his wife formed a team of soul masters. Being an ordinary person seems pretty good; he wouldn't have suffered so many misfortunes. It would be nice to see his grandson happy. With his talent, he might still have a chance to become a soul saint.
I should be able to live to be a hundred without any illness or disaster. It seems nice to see my grandson get married and have great-grandsons. If my grandson really has no talent, then I'll take him away and leave. I won't be a teacher anymore. I'll accompany my grandson to a quiet village to live out my old age.
"Alright, Grandpa will go find one for you. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Grandpa doesn't have any big ambitions right now. If you're willing to learn, Grandpa will go find one for you."
Li Yusong said earnestly.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!"
Li Luochen happily hugged his grandfather. Although Li Luochen was a time traveler, he had memories of being raised by Li Yusong for the past three years.
People have feelings, and Li Yusong was indeed a kind grandfather. Li Luochen had never met his grandfather in his previous life, as his grandfather had passed away very early. He was unaware of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren.
It's a pity I couldn't fulfill my filial duties to my parents while they're still alive; it's my fault for being unfilial. My grandfather, Li Yusong, treats me very well now, so I naturally have no objections. Blood ties cannot be changed, and family affection cannot be altered.
Li Yusong was very happy today. Firstly, his grandson had returned to normal, and secondly, his grandson was very intelligent. Li Yusong was very pleased with Li Luochen's intelligence.
Before Li Luochen was three years old, he was mostly in a daze. Normally, he was very intelligent and learned to read and write very quickly. As long as Li Luochen wasn't being silly, Li Yusong didn't need to worry about his early education.
Now that Li Luochen has returned to normal, his soul is stronger due to his two lifetimes, allowing him to learn quickly and finally understand the ability to remember everything he sees. He has begun to study Soul Master knowledge and learn about the characteristics of Soul Beasts on his own.
Li Yusong is also a teacher, and he is quite good at teaching. His teaching is very meticulous. I wonder if it's because of his grandson.
And so Li Luochen began to learn about this familiar yet unfamiliar new world.
