Douluo Continent: Son of the God King, Chaotic Time and Space

Back in the dormitory, Huo Yuhao shared the good news with Ji Siyuan.

"That's great, Siyuan! I can study under Dean Qian from now on. As long as my soul tool level is high enough, I can stay even if I'm not level 20 in my second year."

He shared it excitedly, only to be met with a cold shower.

Ji Siyuan understood this principle: "How about we have a good meal? And a good night's sleep?"

"Oh, are we not setting up a stall today?"

"I'm not going. I'm happy today. I'll use some of the gold soul coins I extorted the other day. I'll also use the Life Fruit on him."

Ji Siyuan still felt a little sad when he thought about it. Why didn't he start with Xu Sanshi getting the Xuan Shui Pill?

The difference between the Sheng Sheng Fruit and the Xuan Shui Dan is quite significant.

Xu Sanshi, who was queuing at the school gate, sneezed: "It must be that bastard Bei Bei talking about me behind my back."

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Xu Sanshi waited for Ji Siyuan and the other person to set up their stall: "Nannan said she likes to eat this, so I must buy some today."

The stall owner had finished his delicious meal and returned to his dormitory to begin his cultivation.

"If you don't come to wash the fruit, I'll have to feed you!"

"Siyuan, this is yours, I'd rather not eat it. You have high talent, eating it will make your cultivation faster."

"You don't think it would be more comfortable for me to pin you to the ground and then feed you the fruits one by one, do you?" Ji Siyuan took out the raw fruits, washed them, and placed them on the table, his attitude clear: come and eat them quickly.

Tang San: "This little girl seems a bit insecure now."

Ji Siyuan also found it strange: "Yes, in the books I read, the most common theme is revenge. They don't even back down when something is already in their grasp. How come it's like this when it's a woman?"

Tang San laughed and scolded, "Hey, are you really stupid or just pretending? Even in this state, you can't see through it?"

Like grapes, Huo Yuhao only took a few of the raw fruits. "These are enough for me."

Ji Siyuan understood that Huo Yuhao felt somewhat inferior compared to him in terms of current talent.

I got up, walked over, pried open his mouth, and put two pills in.

"So, you're going to eat one of these things and then you eat one of yours? You're being so polite with the White Tiger Duke's stuff. Are you still going to seek revenge?"

If I don't give him a good reason, he'll keep dawdling.

The effects of the Sheng Sheng Fruit weren't very good for him, as its age was too poor, but it was very effective for Huo Yuhao.

Lying in bed with his eyes closed to rest, a good night's sleep was more effective at restoring energy than meditation. Huo Yuhao also adopted his cultivation routine.

"Siyuan, wait until I reach level 20. After that, I'll show you my talent!"

"Yeah, you'd better hurry. I just reached level 16."

"What?" The eleven or twelve-year-old girl jumped out of bed. "You...you're already level 16?"

"Just promoted."

"No, I can't rest anymore." Huo Yuhao sat up and began to meditate, the gap between them widening further and further.

The next day, he received his special identity from Yan Shaozhe.

When he arrived at Yan Shaozhe's office, Yan Shaozhe immediately recognized that he had reached level 16 and stood up in disbelief, as he had been level 15 when they met yesterday.

"You broke through to the next level as soon as you got back last night?" Yan Shaozhe didn't know whether to laugh or be surprised. He suddenly felt that the goal he had set was a bit too simple.

"Yes. I broke through before going to bed last night."

He spoke with a relaxed and carefree tone, indicating that he encountered no bottlenecks during his breakthrough.

Yan Shaozhe gave him a plaque indicating his special status.

"Student Ji Siyuan, the academy has specially convened a Sea God Pavilion meeting for you. This is the academy's highest decision-making meeting."

We've decided to reward and support you in stages. The first stage involves you quickly raising your cultivation level to 20. This is a three-month time limit, and you cannot use any pills that increase soul power. Any questions?

Yan Shaozhe felt like he was asking a pointless question; there was absolutely no problem with the speed of his breakthrough.

Ji Siyuan: "It feels about the same."

Yan Shaozhe told him very seriously, "There's no such thing as 'almost.' What we're giving you is the minimum deadline. You can finish as early as possible. A week early will increase the reward value by 20%, half a month early by 50%, and a month early by double the reward."

Seeing Ji Siyuan's nonchalant attitude, Yan Shaozhe said, "You may not know what the academy has provided for you. First of all, before the first stage begins, we prepared things for you to improve your physical fitness: millennium whale glue, millennium pine and fir Ganoderma lucidum, a Xuan Shui Pill, and your special status, which includes privileges such as free access to the highest-level meals in the academy's canteen."

Tang San: "That sounds a bit shabby."

Ji Siyuan replied to Tang San: "I thought it would be ten-thousand-year-old whale glue." This stuff is indispensable in top-tier families, but only high-aged whale glue is somewhat special.

However, this was still within his acceptable range: "It's alright, it's good to be able to eat for free. I don't have to worry about going hungry. By the way, Dean Yan, can I bring other people to eat?"

"Yes, but only one."

Yan Shaozhe still has this permission, so granting him it wouldn't be a big problem.

"Do I need to confirm with you after I reach level 20?"

"Yes, this way is fine."

Ji Siyuan: "There's not much else, I'll be leaving now."

Before he could even push open the door, Yan Shaozhe told him to stop: "Aren't you curious about what the reward for the next stage will be?"

"It should be better than the beginning, right?"

Yan Shaozhe: "Aren't you curious about what the next stage's goal is? Aren't you curious about how many stages we've divided you into? What are the rewards for each stage? Aren't you curious about what kind of person we plan to cultivate you into?"

Ji Siyuan rubbed his nose: "Curious, I'm really curious about how you all see me. As for the final outcome, I have my own future! And I believe my future is clear enough."

"Your future might not be any better than we've planned. You'd never guess what we ultimately want to mold you into!"

Tang San: "Siyuan, aren't you being too inconsiderate of other people's feelings? This isn't the God Realm. They don't know your secrets, and everything they've planned for you is probably the best future they can imagine. It's about reciprocating kindness in return."

Ji Siyuan had always associated with his peers.

The elders he interacted with were all from the divine realm, and they generally didn't care about his behavior.

If you accept something from someone, you should at least offer something in return; you should say thank you.

"Understood, Uncle Tang."

Ji Siyuan: "Dean, those things haven't been scheduled for yet, have they? Even if I asked, you might not tell me."

Don't worry, I will definitely reach level 20 within three months, and I'll be the first to tell you the good news.

Yan Shaozhe sat down: "I'm afraid your goals are only at the level of Soul Emperor or Soul Saint. If that's your plan for the future, I might get killed by the elders of the Sea God Pavilion. It's good that you understand this is just a phase. Your future is very bright, so you must set your goals for the long term!"

Also, try to complete the tasks ahead of schedule; the rewards later are very generous.

"Absolutely no problem, this time it should take about two months."
