The Star Luo Emperor Was Illiterate

Xue Qinghe's carriage drove away from the alley. The morning mist had completely dissipated, and the sunlight fully bathed the quiet courtyard.

Fu Shiyan sat quietly by the stone table in the front yard for a while, until the aura belonging to "Xue Qinghe" and his hidden guards had completely disappeared before he slowly got up.

Almost simultaneously, a slight noise came from the backyard.

Dai Tianyu, rubbing his sleepy eyes, was the first to stagger out, muttering that he hadn't slept enough.

Immediately after, Oscar appeared, yawning all the while, and Xiao Wu, full of energy, skipped and hopped to the front yard, looking around curiously.

As for Tang San...

Before Xue Qinghe's visit, even before dawn, he had already quietly gotten up and gone to a secluded corner of the courtyard to carry out his daily, unwavering cultivation.

That was not ordinary Soul Power meditation, but a unique skill passed down from the Tang Sect in his previous life.

The Purple Demon Eye absorbs purple energy, and the Mysterious Heaven Skill circulates throughout the body.

While others were still asleep, he had already adjusted himself to be in peak condition.

After a simple breakfast, Fu Shiyan gathered the four of them in a side hall that was temporarily being used as a classroom.

He believed that the early morning was the best time to start the day, and he usually scheduled the instruction of theoretical knowledge during this period.

The four sat behind a wooden desk made by Fu Shiyan using her Martial Soul, each with a different expression.

Tang San stood up straight, his gaze fixed intently on Fu Shiyan. He even had the Four Treasures of the Study (writing brush, ink stick, and paper) prepared in his hand, ready to jot down important points at any time.

Oscar listened intently, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge. He listened with great interest to any of Fu Shiyan's insights about Martial Soul, Soul Power, or even the history of the continent, nodding from time to time.

These two are the epitome of "model students"—excellent in every way.

Xiao Wu, on the other hand, represents the other extreme.

She rested her chin on one hand, while idly fiddling with the end of her braid under the desk with the other, her gaze already fixed on the chirping birds in the trees outside the window.

Fu Shiyan explained the cultivation system of human Soul Master, the principles of Spirit Ring matching, and the origins of various forces, which made her drowsy.

Despite the fact that she, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast humanoid, probably knew more about the habits of Soul Beast and forest knowledge than Fu Shiyan.

But when it comes to the complex theories, history, and politics of human Soul Master society, she doesn't understand.

Even so, she still couldn't muster any interest.

For this reason, Fu Shiyan had criticized her by name several times.

When criticized, the little girl will immediately sit up straight, widen her eyes, and pretend to be listening attentively.

But she couldn't stay awake for even fifteen minutes. Her eyelids started to droop, her little head bobbed up and down, and finally she completely collapsed onto the table, drifting off to sleep.

Over time, Fu Shiyan stopped caring about her.

Anyway, with Tang San protecting her, this little girl's strength is improving quite fast, so being a "happy underachiever" doesn't seem to matter much.

What truly gave Fu Shiyan a headache, and even some helplessness, was Dai Tianyu, whom he had painstakingly "manifested" in the past.

Speaking of Dai Tianyu, Fu Shiyan originally had high hopes for him, even regarding him as a crucial part of her future plans.

One of his core objectives was the vast Star Luo Empire.

The Faith Power of an entire empire, even if only a tiny fraction is distributed among each citizen, would amount to an astronomical sum.

Dai Tianyu's identity as the "orphan of the Tianxing King," coupled with the unparalleled talent displayed by his Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, undoubtedly makes him a very significant asset in the cruel and complex power vortex of the Star Luo Empire.

Fu Shiyan firmly believed that once Dai Tianyu's existence became known to certain forces within the Star Luo Empire, someone would inevitably place their bets on him.

Douluo Continent is ultimately a world where strength reigns supreme, and the Star Luo Empire is founded on martial prowess.

Compared to the Heaven Dou Empire, which places greater emphasis on bloodline and the tradition of succession based on seniority, the Star Luo Empire often prioritizes the martial prowess, talent, and courage of its heirs above all else.

Tianxing King Dai Yuanfeng, as the biological brother of the current Star Luo Emperor Dai Yuanbin, even though he lost and died in the struggle for the throne, his eldest son Dai Tianyu still legally possesses the right and qualification to inherit the Star Luo Empire throne.

This is fundamentally different from the primogeniture system of some ancient dynasties that Fu Shiyan knew from her previous life.

Based on his understanding of the original storyline, a few years later, the Second Prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai's second brother, will "accidentally" die.

In the original novel, Dai Mubai vaguely mentioned that his second brother was very likely killed by his eldest brother, Dai Weisi.

Fu Shiyan took advantage of this, implanting a dream into Zhu Zhuqing's mind, allowing her to "see" a "future" of being abandoned by Dai Mubai, having sisters kill each other, and finally meeting Dai Tianyu in despair.

The carefully crafted information he presented—a thirteen-year-old Soul Ancestor, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Martial Soul, and the direct descendant of the Tianxing King —would inevitably attract the attention of the Zhu Family, especially the Zhu Family patriarch, if conveyed through Zhu Zhuqing's words.

Wu Yuan's arrival a few days ago has already proven that he made the right move.

However, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws!

Fu Shiyan had planned everything meticulously, but she hadn't anticipated that Dai Tianyu himself was like a rusty iron block, stubbornly unyielding when it came to learning cultural knowledge!

According to his initial perfect vision, Dai Tianyu should be both a scholar and a warrior, possessing both formidable strength to intimidate all sides and sufficient wisdom and knowledge to govern the court, thus becoming a qualified, even wise, monarch.

The reality is that after teaching for so long, Dai Tianyu still hasn't fully mastered even the most basic literacy skills!

Making him hold a pen seems more painful than making him fight Soul Beast.

It's common for people to only recognize half of a character, and their handwriting is often crooked and messy, resembling scribbles.

Fu Shiyan once suspected that perhaps she made a mistake in some aspect when "manifesting" Dai Tianyu or when compiling his background information, which caused her "talent" in this area to be completely obscured.

What's even stranger is that once he was taken away from the books and instead taught cultivation, combat skills, and the use of Soul Power, Dai Tianyu immediately seemed like a completely different person.

In cultivation, he possesses exceptional comprehension, often able to apply what he has learned to other situations. His understanding and control of power at a rapid pace even amazes Fu Shiyan.

But as soon as he sits down at his desk and opens a book, it's as if his soul has been ripped away.

With heavy eyelids and constant yawning, you're guaranteed to hear soft snoring within half an incense stick's time.

Fu Shiyan reprimanded him quite a bit for this.

Every time he was scolded, Dai Tianyu would argue back, his little mouth chattering away.

"Teacher, let Xiao San learn these words and books! He's smart and can remember them! If I don't understand something in the future, I can just ask him, right?"

He patted his chest and replied with an air of self-righteousness.

"I want to become stronger, to protect the people I want to protect, and in the future... I might have to do those very troublesome things."

"Therefore, having a strong fist is the most important thing! Can these classical Chinese phrases help me defeat Titled Douluo?"

Fu Shiyan finally realized that this kid was a completely stubborn martial arts fanatic!
