For a moment, Shiyu's emotions churned violently. Though he had accepted the fact that he had transmigrated and was learning to adapt to it,

if he could return to his original life, he would still choose without hesitation to give up all his abilities and go back.

An ordinary life was the truest life. Compared with possessing extraordinary abilities or even becoming a God and living forever, he would rather stay by his family's side.

"Excuse me, what city is this?" After calming himself somewhat, Shiyu stopped a young woman nearby and asked.

He first needed to figure out which city in the country he was in before deciding what to do next.

The young woman he stopped looked at him in surprise. Is there something wrong with this guy? How could he not even know what city this is?

"Eastsea City," she answered anyway.

"Eastsea City... Why haven't I heard much about it? Which province is it in?" Shiyu recalled what he knew about Eastsea City and confirmed that he had never heard of this coastal city.

"What province? Eastsea City is a directly administered city under the East Sea Administrative Region. You don't even know that? Are you from out of town?" The young woman looked at Shiyu strangely.

"The East Sea Administrative Region? Is there such an administrative region?" Shiyu was even more confused.

He did not know much about his country's geographical divisions, but he still had some common sense. There was no East Sea Administrative Region in the country.

Could he be abroad?

Shiyu could not help but grow suspicious, but he quickly realized something. His expression stiffened as he stared blankly at the young woman, making her back away several steps as she began to feel unsafe.

"This is Douluo Continent, and the ruling government is the Sun Moon Federation?" Shiyu asked uncertainly.

He had finally realized it. Eastsea City did not exist in the original modern world, but it did exist on Douluo Continent.

It simply was not during the Peerless Tang Sect Period, but during the era of Legend of the Dragon King.

Of course, it might not have been Tang Wulin's exact point in the Timeline, but an earlier time.

After all, Eastsea City might have existed long before then. It was not as though it had appeared alongside Tang Wutong.

"Yeah." The young woman answered, then took a detour around him and left, finding Shiyu rather strange.

"So that means I'm still on Douluo Continent..." Shiyu muttered, deeply disappointed.

Only after calming himself as much as possible did Shiyu have the mood to look around. For a while, he had no sense of direction.

Before obtaining his Soul Ring, he had considered what he should do if he transmigrated back to Ten Thousand Years Ago to gain some benefits. This opportunity to transmigrate was precious; he could not simply spend a few days having fun.

But none of his previous plans could be carried out now, because he was in an era Ten Thousand Years Later, a full twenty thousand years removed from the Tang San Era. Times had changed, the environment was vastly different, and even some places of opportunity were no longer the same.

It was definitely unsuitable to seek opportunities according to plans formulated for the Tang San Era.

Shiyu found a set of steps and sat down. The shop was not open, so sitting here would not disturb anyone.

He fell into deep thought, considering what he should do next.

This transmigration most likely had a time limit as well. For now, he estimated it to be the same as last time: seven days.

Seven days were neither particularly long nor particularly short. There was still quite a lot he could do.

First, I need to figure out the exact Timeline. Only then can I decide on my subsequent plans, Shiyu thought.

What he was familiar with was mainly things from Tang Wulin's era. To obtain opportunities, he had to start with those familiar things.

"I have to worry about money again." Shiyu sighed, thinking of the intelligent devices of this era. If he had money, he could buy one and go online to look up everything he wanted to know. It would be much more convenient.

Then inspiration struck him, and he thought of the Silver Soul Coins in his pocket.

"These things should count as antiques, right?" Shiyu smiled faintly as he looked at the Silver Soul Coins in his hand.

Though these Silver Soul Coins were still very new and lacked the weathered appearance of antiques, they were indeed currency from Ten Thousand Years Ago.

This era used Federal Coins. This type of currency had long since disappeared from the market and become a rare item.

If this currency had been out of circulation for several hundred or even a thousand years, then few people would likely still possess it, and its value would naturally rise accordingly.

Shiyu immediately stopped passersby to ask where nearby he could find an antique shop or somewhere similar where he could sell his Silver Soul Coins.

After asking several people, he finally got a location and hurried there expectantly.

As he walked down the street, he could not help feeling dazed. This era was already very close to the modern world he had come from.

Skyscrapers stood everywhere, the streets were lined with shops, cars traveled back and forth on the roads, and people dressed very modernly.

If he had not learned that this was Eastsea City on Douluo Continent, he would have thought he had returned to the modern world.

Quite a few people looked at him along the way. It was not because they were drawn to his handsome appearance, but because of his clothing. His attire was retro, something rarely seen in this era.

More importantly, the Shrek Academy emblem and the five words on the chest of his uniform were extremely eye-catching.

"He's actually a student of Shrek Academy." Many people reacted as though they had spotted a minor celebrity.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that everyone knew of Shrek Academy. Its fame was terrifyingly great.

Getting into Shrek Academy might be even harder than becoming the governor of a city.

During the admissions season held once every few years, they sometimes accepted only a handful of students. Even at the most, they accepted just over a hundred, while tens of thousands wanted to apply to Shrek Academy.

The ratio of applicants to admissions alone showed just how difficult Shrek Academy was to enter.

Precisely because they knew how difficult it was to get into Shrek Academy, they were especially astonished to see Shiyu in its uniform. He was truly one of the Dragon and Phoenix among men.

Some people even came forward wanting to take photos with Shiyu and ask for his autograph.

He might become a lofty Battle Armor Master in the future, someone they could only look up to. If they did not take a photo with him or get an autograph as a memento, they would be letting down their good fortune.

"Sorry." Shiyu politely refused them all. He had no desire to engage in such empty formalities.

He also felt a headache coming on. He had not expected this uniform to bring him such trouble.

After entering Shrek Academy, students were issued uniforms. He did not have many clothes himself, so he had always alternated between the uniform and that one other set of clothes.

Most of the time, he wore the uniform. When he went to obtain his Soul Ring this time, he had not deliberately changed clothes either.

More accurately, he needed to wear the uniform even more when going to obtain a Soul Ring.

It would hurt if his own clothes were damaged, but he would not care much if it were the uniform, since it had been issued for free.

And so, this current situation arose, with him being treated like a minor celebrity because he was wearing a school uniform.

Information traveled quickly in this era. He did not want photos with certain people posted online and then seen by people from Shrek Academy.

The school uniforms from Ten Thousand Years Ago and those of today differed somewhat. They should be able to recognize that he was wearing an old uniform, which might bring many unknown troubles.
