Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

His Innate Soul Power was too low, so he had to seize every moment he could to cultivate.

In that state, he actually did slowly absorb Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, gathering it within his body.

Unfortunately, doing so was much harder than he had imagined.

Even though his spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary people-even some spiritual-type Soul Masters who had yet to begin cultivating could not match him-

He still needed much more practice to do it.

Less than three minutes later, Jiang Yi's body shuddered. His concentrated mind slowly scattered, and Heaven and Earth Origin Energy settled once more.

"Sure enough, it isn't that easy." Jiang Yi gave a wry smile.

If it were that easy, every Soul Master on the Douluo Continent would probably be doing it.

"But I've already taken the first step. With more practice, I'll definitely be able to do it someday." Jiang Yi's gaze was resolute.

Just as he was about to put away his Martial Soul, a sudden "ding" rang out.

Jiang Yi froze. Another achievement?

But he didn't seem to have done anything!

"Host's Blue Silver Grass has been exposed to sunlight for over three minutes. Achievement obtained."

"Achievement name: Pioneer of Photosynthesis (While you were working hard at cultivation, your Martial Soul was working hard too, although the effect was nearly nonexistent.)"

"Achievement reward: Cultivation speed increases by ten percent when the Martial Soul is exposed to sunlight."

"An increase in cultivation speed!" Jiang Yi was overjoyed.

He had finally obtained the achievement he wanted most.

Although it was only ten percent of a level 0.1 Soul Power cultivation speed, even a mosquito was still meat, however small.

"Brother Jiang Yi, what's wrong?" Jiang Nannan asked curiously when Jiang Yi suddenly stopped walking. Lin Ye looked over as well.

"Ah, nothing." Jiang Yi immediately came back to his senses.

"Then let's keep going, or we won't make it to the first lesson," Lin Ye said with a smile.

Putting his newly obtained achievement aside for the moment, Jiang Yi nodded.

Before long, they arrived at the gates of Lingshan Junior Academy.

The academy's term had started three days ago, so there was no one at the gate.

With his military status, Lin Ye entered the academy with ease.

"Wait here for a bit. I'll go take care of your enrollment," Lin Ye instructed them at the academy gate.

As a Soul Elder and a member of the military, Lin Ye naturally completed their enrollment procedures with ease.

"Officer Lin, everything has been taken care of," a middle-aged man in a white robe said with a smile in the office.

"Good. In that case, I'll have to ask you to look after these two children, Director Wang," Lin Ye said with a smile.

"Rest assured." Director Wang nodded.

Although Lin Ye was a Soul Elder just like him, Lin Ye served at the side of She Fei, a Soul Emperor.

And with a genius like Jiang Nannan, who had level eight Innate Soul Power, he would naturally take good care of her.

As for Jiang Yi, who had a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul and only level 0.1 Soul Power, there was no harm in looking after him as an extra.

Chapter 6: The First Lesson, the Library

Lin Ye walked over from a distance, accompanied by a plump middle-aged man with a smile on his face, resembling Maitreya Buddha.

"The paperwork is done. This is Director Wang of the academy. He'll arrange your dormitories and classes."

When Director Wang saw Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes.

One was handsome, the other breathtakingly beautiful. Even after so many years of teaching, he had rarely seen children so favored by heaven and earth.

What a pity the boy's Innate Soul Power is so low. Otherwise, they really would make quite a match. Director Wang felt some regret.

The gap between high-level and low-level Soul Masters was even greater than the gap between ordinary people and Soul Masters.

When the difference in Soul Power between two people was too great, the chances of them ending up together were simply too low.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin Ye," Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan said.

"Mm. In that case, I'll be going." Lin Ye took his leave and departed the academy.

All at once, Jiang Yi, Jiang Nannan, and Director Wang were left staring at one another.

"Jiang Yi, Jiang Nannan, you can just call me Director Wang from now on. Follow me to see your dormitories. Once you've put away your luggage, I'll take you to class."

Director Wang spoke with a smile.

With Director Wang leading the way, the two soon arrived at the academy dormitories.

Although there weren't many students, the boys' and girls' dormitories were still separated into two buildings.

Children on the Douluo Continent generally matured early, and putting them in the same place could easily lead to unnecessary trouble.

The two dormitories weren't too far apart, though.

With Director Wang's help, the two soon put away their luggage.

He then led them to the class where they would study from now on.

"Freshman Class One."

"Hehe, today's lesson hasn't started yet. You two can go in," Director Wang said with a smile after glancing into Freshman Class One.

"Thank you, Director," the two said in unison.

As soon as they entered the classroom, they drew everyone's attention.

Their looks were simply too outstanding.

Jiang Yi didn't care about their gazes, and Jiang Nannan naturally wasn't afraid of the gazes of these children her own age either.

Not one of the students in Freshman Class One could compare to her in Soul Power.

Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan found two vacant seats by the window and sat together.

They had only just sat down when a boy in front of them couldn't resist turning around.

The boy had delicate features, and his face was flushed as he said, "Hello, my name is Zhou Long. Can we get to know each other?"

"Hmph." Jiang Nannan's little face was cold, and she couldn't be bothered to speak to Zhou Long.

She had no desire to talk to these little boys who still smelled of milk.

Seeing her response, Zhou Long, who had finally worked up his courage, immediately lost heart. He turned back around, not daring to speak again.

Watching the scene, Jiang Yi couldn't help smiling.

"Our Nannan really is popular," Jiang Yi said with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't need them to like me," Jiang Nannan said proudly.

She glanced at Jiang Yi out of the corner of her eye. There was another sentence she hadn't said aloud.

Besides Mom, as long as Brother Jiang Yi likes me, that's enough.

After that little episode, Jiang Yi and Jiang Nannan began their first lesson at Lingshan Junior Academy.

The teacher looked to be in his thirties, and what he taught was quite basic, mostly common knowledge for Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent.

All of it could be learned from books.

After listening for a while, Jiang Yi closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

He sat by the window, sunlight spilling across his desk. A blade of Blue Silver Grass silently crept onto it, bathing in the sunlight.

Jiang Yi immediately felt an increase in both the speed at which he absorbed Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and the speed at which he converted it into Soul Power.

Of course, it also became purer and denser.

It really has improved. Too bad my starting point is so low. If I had Innate Full Soul Power, a ten percent increase would be substantial.

I wonder if I can get an achievement that increases my Innate Soul Power in the future?

The morning's lessons soon ended, and Jiang Yi opened his eyes right on time.

"Brother Jiang Yi, let's go eat," Jiang Nannan immediately invited him when she saw him open his eyes.

"Sure," Jiang Yi readily agreed.

After cultivating all morning, it was time for a break.

After lunch, I'll find time to visit the academy library. I should start physical training too.

I hope the Custom Achievement System can surprise me.

At around seven in the evening, the Soul Tool streetlights in the academy lit up.

As a border city, Spirit Mountain City was more accepting of Soul Tools, and the academy had quite a few Soul Tool facilities.

Jiang Yi emerged from the dormitory. After lunch, the academy had arranged no lessons, instead leaving the students to cultivate on their own.

After all, for Soul Masters, Soul Power was the most fundamental thing.

Jiang Yi had not cultivated his Soul Power that afternoon, instead trying to improve his physical condition.

In his previous life, he had never learned traditional martial arts like Tai Chi Chuan or Eight Pieces of Brocade.

He had no way to test whether those martial arts would be any different on the Douluo Continent.

Fortunately, he had spent a few years working out in college.

Even without equipment, he could use certain exercises to train his upper and lower limbs as well as his core.

Of course, he also used a secret training method from Shrek Academy, commonly known as running.

Jiang Nannan had stayed by his side the whole time, so Jiang Yi naturally taught her a set of exercises too.

They weren't meant to increase physical strength, however, but to improve flexibility and agility.

As an Agility Attack System Soul Master, those two qualities were undoubtedly what she needed most.

Yoga from his previous life was undoubtedly a perfect fit for Jiang Nannan's needs.

After an afternoon of exercise, he realized his body had reached its limit and stopped training.

"Finally here." Beneath the lamplight, Jiang Yi looked at the building ahead.

The Lingshan Junior Academy library was at the southernmost end of the academy, as far from the dormitories as it could be.

That was why he had walked for so long.

Loosening the muscles left somewhat sore by his workout, Jiang Yi walked up to the library entrance.

The library was brightly lit, but apart from an administrator, there was not a single person inside reading.

Jiang Yi couldn't help feeling a little surprised at the sight, but on second thought, he understood.

The oldest students at a junior academy were only eleven or twelve. At that age, and with the prevailing belief among Soul Masters that strength came first, it would have been strange to find anyone reading.

"No one here is fine too."

With no one else in the library, he could read whatever he wanted.

As soon as he stepped inside, the librarian greeted him without even looking up. "Teacher Li, you're back."

"I'm not Teacher Li."

Chapter 7: Li Lingyu, Mimicry Cultivation

"Eh!" Hearing Jiang Yi's denial, the librarian stood up in surprise.

The librarian was a middle-aged woman of around forty, and she stared in surprise at Jiang Yi in the doorway.

"Child, did you take a wrong turn? This is the library," the librarian asked curiously.

No students came to the library even in the morning, yet one had shown up at night. She couldn't help being surprised.

"Auntie, I came to read. I'm in the right place," Jiang Yi explained.
