The Top Student with Cheats

Skywater Academy's curriculum was fairly relaxed, with only four classes a day: two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

Aside from lecturing students in class, the academy's teachers spent the rest of their time guiding students through Soul Fight drills, teaching them to sing and dance, or arranging for them to cultivate their Martial Souls in the Simulated Environment.

The Soul Masters at Skywater Academy were all water-attributed, and the Simulated Environment was a massive lake. There were some buildings on the surface, making it look like a water park.

When the students cultivated in the Simulated Environment, some did so in pavilions on the lake, while others entered the lake to cultivate. When the mood struck them, they simply practiced all kinds of soul skills right there in the water.

When a group of beautiful girls played in the water, they looked like fairies emerging from a lotus pond, an extremely alluring sight. This was also why Skywater Academy forbade male Soul Masters from setting foot there. Just imagine it—if male Soul Masters were in a Simulated Environment like this, how could they possibly still have the mind to cultivate?

The study life of Soul Masters in another world was far more relaxing than going to school in his previous life. There was no homework here, no endless brain-burning exams. For Ye Liangchen, who had once suffered under the torment of heavy academic burdens, it was simply too easy.

On his very first day after enrollment, Ye Liangchen fell in love with this kind of school life. Such incredibly relaxed classes were just too satisfying. Still, Ye Liangchen also understood that since he was in a brutal other world, he could not live too comfortably either.

On the morning of the second day, in Ye Liangchen's classroom, Su Lin was prattling on as she explained soul beast knowledge to the little ones.

"Students, as everyone knows, soul beasts are divided into ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, ten-thousand-year, and hundred-thousand-year levels. Then do you know what colors the corresponding spirit rings are?"

As soon as Su Lin raised this question, many students rushed to answer.

"Teacher! Ten-year spirit rings are white, Hundred Year Soul Rings are yellow, thousand-year spirit rings are purple, ten-thousand-year spirit rings are black, and 100,000 Year Spirit Rings are red."

Su Lin smiled. "Very good! It looks like everyone is doing well. Once you learn this knowledge properly, it will be easier for you to find soul beasts that suit you when you obtain spirit rings in the future."

"Teacher Su Lin! Then if a soul beast exceeds a hundred thousand years, what color would its spirit ring be?"

"And what about a million-year soul beast?"

At that moment, Ye Liangchen suddenly said that in an indifferent tone, stunning everyone else in the classroom, Su Lin included.

"Mm! Student Little Chen! No one has ever seen a soul beast of that level, and no one knows whether they exist."

Su Lin looked at the little fellow as he asked such an exaggerated question and was instantly caught between laughter and tears. She felt like the little guy was deliberately nitpicking.

"A million-year soul beast?"

"The Soul Beast Encyclopedia only records Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. What Little Chen mentioned probably doesn't exist."

Shui Bing'er, Xue Wu, and the other girls also voiced their own thoughts one after another, all believing that soul beasts exceeding a hundred thousand years did not exist.

"Teacher Su Lin! I think that since there are Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, then there should be two-hundred-thousand-year ones, and maybe even million-year ones."

Ye Liangchen said it calmly, not caring whether everyone believed him or not. In any case, he would first pretend to say it out of curiosity. His goal was to break people's existing understanding.

"Little Chen! Why do you think there are soul beasts that exceed a hundred thousand years?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously.

"Hehe! Just a guess."

Ye Liangchen scratched his head and gave a simple, honest smile. For now, he could not tell everyone that Douluo Continent still had a whole bunch of Fierce Beasts, or else he would scare them silly.

"Tap, tap..."

Su Lin strode over with her long, slender legs, using Mysterious Steps as she swayed gracefully toward Ye Liangchen. Her High Heels clicked against the floor with a crisp, pleasant sound.

"Little Chen! Teacher feels like you were deliberately causing trouble."

After arriving in front of Ye Liangchen, Su Lin deliberately put on a stern, pretty face and stared fixedly at the little fellow's innocent face, pretending to look very serious.

"Teacher Su Lin! I was only making an inference based on what was recorded in the Soul Beast Encyclopedia. Please don't mind it."

Ye Liangchen spread his hands. In any case, he had already said it. Whether they believed it or not was up to them to judge.

"All right! Teacher knows your little head is clever and that you know how to draw inferences from one case to another."

"But even if there really are soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old, they aren't something we can come into contact with. We've never even seen a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, let alone understand one."

Su Lin thought back to what she had learned from Di Tian and Bi Ji in Star Dou Forest some time ago about gods. If that was the case, soul beasts exceeding a hundred thousand years might truly exist.

"Teacher Su Lin! Is what Little Chen said true?" Shui Bing'er and the other girls gathered around and asked curiously.

"Teacher doesn't know either. This is only Little Chen's guess."

Su Lin spread her hands, looking as if to say, If you're asking me, who am I supposed to ask? If Ye Liangchen had not brought this up, she would never even have thought in that direction.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

At that moment, the bell signaling the end of class rang. The morning classes were over, and it was time for lunch.

"Students! That's all for this morning's class. Class dismissed."

"Little Chen! Come with Teacher."

Su Lin announced the end of class to the students, then grabbed Ye Liangchen's small hand and walked toward the classroom door.

"Hey! Teacher Su Lin! We still have to take Little Chen to eat! Where are you taking him?" When Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er saw their little brother being taken away by Su Lin, they hurriedly shouted from behind.

"Bing'er, Yue'er, Teacher has arranged Little Chen's lunch today."

Su Lin turned back and smiled at the two little girls, thinking, Could I possibly let the little fellow go hungry? If so, I'd be a teacher for nothing.

"Teacher Su Lin! You aren't going to punish me, are you?"

Ye Liangchen followed beside Su Lin, thinking that since he had deliberately raised such an exaggerated question in class earlier, this woman might think he was nitpicking. She wouldn't really punish him, would she?

Previously, Lan Xiao Die had indeed told Su Lin that if Ye Liangchen was naughty and made trouble in class, she could directly take action and discipline him. Although Lan Xiao Die doted on the little fellow very much, when it came to his education, she was extremely strict.

Su Lin looked at Ye Liangchen's dumbfounded and slightly frightened expression and found it very amusing.

"Don't worry! Although the Dean did give me instructions, how could I bear to punish you?"

Teacher Su Lin reached out and rubbed the little guy's cheeks, then took his hand and continued walking toward her own residence.

Before long, the two arrived in front of a luxurious building. This was where the academy's teachers lived. Every teacher had a hundred-square-meter apartment, all lavish homes with three bedrooms and two living rooms.

"Good afternoon, teachers!"

When they arrived, they saw several other teachers as well. Ye Liangchen hurriedly greeted everyone, offering a polite hello. This was an essential quality for a model student.

"Little Chen! Are you getting used to life at school?"

"Come eat with your teacher!"

These teachers who hadn't eaten in the cafeteria had all returned to their own residences to cook. When they saw Ye Liangchen come back with Su Lin, they warmly came over one after another, gathering around the little guy and asking him all sorts of questions.

In the entire academy, Ye Liangchen was the only male Soul Master, and he was also an adorable little boy. That made him the equivalent of a rare species, and everyone liked him very much.

"Teachers, Little Chen is having lunch with me today, so please go on with your own business!"

Teacher Su Lin smiled with graceful charm, then took the little guy by the hand and led him into her house.

Seeing Su Lin acting so protective, the female teachers all showed gossipy smiles.

"That woman couldn't win Little Chen's father back then. Don't tell me she's planning to raise the little guy as her son now?"

"It's really possible. Love doesn't disappear, it only transfers. Hahaha..."

"Don't talk nonsense. If the Dean hears you, you'll be in trouble!"

When they entered Su Lin's home, Ye Liangchen's eyes immediately lit up. The furniture and décor throughout the place were arranged with great poetic flair, making it look very comfortable. The walls were covered with all kinds of beautiful landscape paintings, and there were also several portraits of Su Lin herself, looking incredibly alluring and charming.

"Teacher Su Lin! Your house is really beautiful!"

Ye Liangchen also saw a cabinet with more than a dozen bottles of fine wine and some precious tea leaves displayed on it, and thought to himself that this woman really knew how to enjoy life.

"Your teacher earns 1,000 Gold Soul Coins a month. No matter how you look at it, I count as a rich person, so of course I have to enjoy life properly."

Teacher Su Lin smiled sweetly, took a bag out from a drawer, and handed it to Ye Liangchen.

"Little Chen! This is the school uniform the academy had custom-made for you. Keep it safe."

"Play here for a while first. Teacher will go cook right away. There'll be something tasty soon."

After giving him a few instructions, Teacher Su Lin walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and started cooking.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Ye Liangchen accepted the bag and opened it to take a look. Inside were four sets of clothes in blue and white, which looked very comfortable. The fabric was high quality, the style was designed well, and the artistic level was very high—about three or four stories high.

Half an hour later, Teacher Su Lin had already finished cooking and called Ye Liangchen over to eat.

"Little Chen! What do you think? Does the school uniform look good?"

"It looks good! No wonder Aunt Lan said before that the school can make millions of Gold Soul Coins every year just from the clothing business."

"Of course. Those clothes are almost all designed by graduates of our Skywater Academy. Everyone is a beauty, so our sense of aesthetics is very high..."

The two ate while chatting, and the scene was extremely warm.

Time slowly passed. Three months later, Lan Xiao Die referred to the first part of the Hun Yuan Art as a new meditation method, then selected a small number of talented students to cultivate it, and also required those students to swear on their Martial Souls that they would not leak any information.

As for these girls cultivating the first part of the Hun Yuan Art, Shui Lanxin also intended to take them into the Heavenly Water Sect in the future and make them the sect's foundation.

As for an exquisite Martial Skill like the Five Elements Divine Fist, it was divided into five kinds of fist techniques and taught to all the students to strengthen their physiques. To outsiders, it was only described as a kind of Martial Skill.

The many highly experienced teachers in the academy were all students of the previous dean, Shui Lingfeng, and were core members. They could all cultivate the complete Cultivation Technique. As for Ten Thousand Plums in the Wind and the Celestial Flight sword techniques, those were Ye Liangchen's exclusive Sword Techniques, and Lan Xiao Die did not contribute them.

Lan Xiao Die could only carry out small-scale reforms in the academy. Before Skywater Academy possessed absolute strength, she did not dare spread the Cultivation Technique.

Ye Liangchen felt that even if Lan Xiao Die and the others only took out the Five Elements Divine Fist and the first part of the Primordial Chaos Sutra for teaching, given enough time, Skywater Academy would surely shock the world.

During these three months, Ye Liangchen had already learned all the knowledge taught in the elementary, intermediate, and advanced classes, leaving all the teachers and students in the academy incomparably shocked.

In truth, the knowledge taught in class was nothing more than some Soul Master cultivation knowledge, along with the humanities and geography of the Two Great Empires. For Ye Liangchen, who was a transmigrator, he had long since known it all. Besides, there really wasn't much worth learning from Douluo's knowledge.

But the academy's teachers thought he was simply a heaven-defying talent with a photographic memory. After reading the things in the textbooks once, he could remember them, and could even infer other things from them.

"Aunt Lan! I've already learned all that knowledge. Now I don't have to go to the classroom for lessons anymore, right?"

After lunch that day, Ye Liangchen came to Lan Xiao Die's office and requested not to attend classes. Since attending class was a waste of time anyway, it would be much better to return to Quiet Leisure Manor and cultivate his divine arts.

At that moment, Shui Lingfeng, Lan Xiao Ling, Mu Qingxue, Teacher Su Lin, An Qi, Li Suyan, and the others were also present. Seeing the little guy's smug look, they all suggested testing him.

"Then we'll test you. If you can answer everything, we'll agree to your request."

Lan Xiao Die, Shui Lingfeng, and the others felt very gratified. This little guy had spent only three months learning all the knowledge the school was supposed to teach. He was a super top student. This was what a true peerless genius looked like!

"I'm ready. Go ahead and ask!" Ye Liangchen laughed inwardly: Ask whatever you want. The knowledge you know still isn't as much as mine!

"What major sects and powers exist in the Soul Master World?" Teacher Su Lin asked first.

"Spirit Hall is the largest Soul Master force. Then there are Slaughter City and Sea God Island. The rest are the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects..."

Ye Liangchen slowly listed these Soul Master forces. As for matters concerning Slaughter City and Sea God Island, Skywater Academy's archives also had records, though they were not open to the public, and Ye Liangchen just happened to have read Skywater Academy's archives.

Seeing that the little guy knew the continent's powers like the back of his hand, Lan Xiao Die then asked another question. "What should a Soul Master pay attention to when absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?"

"Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts can generally awaken intelligence. When a Soul Master absorbs a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Soul Shock will occur, impacting the Soul Master's soul. Under normal circumstances, only when a Soul Master reaches rank 50, and both their physical constitution and soul are strong enough, can they withstand the Soul Shock brought by a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. Otherwise, it's very easy for them to become an idiot."

"Mm! Not bad! Then what is the strongest support-type spirit on the continent?" The women were very satisfied with the little guy's answer, so they began asking more questions.

Ye Liangchen answered without even thinking, "My Goddess of Life Spirit is the strongest support-type spirit."

"Oh! Little Chen! Why do you say that?" Hearing Ye Liangchen call his own Goddess of Life Spirit the strongest support-type spirit left everyone stunned.

"Everyone says the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support-type spirit, but Soul Masters who possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can only cultivate to level 79 at most. I think it's inferior to the Nine Heart Sea Tang. My Goddess of Life Spirit has both support and attack abilities, so it definitely surpasses the level of those spirits on the continent."

"Pfft... hehe...! All right! You've beaten us. From now on, you can arrange your own time freely. Whether you go to the classroom for lessons or not is up to you."

"Thank you, Dean Grandma! Thank you, Aunt Lan! Thank you, teachers!"

Lan Xiao Die, Su Lin, and the others asked many questions, and Ye Liangchen was able to answer them all. In the end, he even said his spirit was the strongest on the continent, making everyone burst into laughter.

Actually, what Ye Liangchen said was not wrong. The Goddess of Life Spirit was a God King-level spirit, and its ninth spirit skill, Life Divine Light, could probably even revive the dead. It truly was the strongest. Lan Xiao Die and the others simply did not know that.

After Ye Liangchen left Lan Xiao Die's office, he was in an excellent mood and dashed all the way back to Quiet Leisure Manor. For this day, he had spent a full three months turning himself into a super top student, all for the sake of being able to cultivate various Cultivation Techniques in peace. It really had not been easy.

When Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er saw the little guy running back to the manor in high spirits, they immediately chased after him.

"Little Chen! Did Mom and the others agree to let you skip class?"

"That's right! Sisters, from now on I don't have to go to the classroom for lessons!"

"Little Chen! You're amazing. You learned all that knowledge in just three months, while we still have to stay at school and study all kinds of things."

"Hehe! I'm a genius, after all!"

"Little Chen is the best! We still have classes this afternoon, so we'll head back to school first."

"Goodbye, sisters."

Ye Liangchen said goodbye to the Shui Bing'er sisters, then ran back to Quiet Leisure Manor.

However, seeing the excited looks on those two girls' faces, Ye Liangchen guessed that before long, they would definitely start skipping class too.
