Life is like a toilet; time is like the button that flushes the toilet, rushing by.

In a previous life, Ling Yi had come across this line in a novel and laughed it off. Now, he felt a deep sense of emotion.

At this point, it had been three days since Ling Yi reported to the [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy].

In these three days, Ling Yi had toured every part of the academy, except for the two dormitory buildings for self-funded students.

As one of the four junior soul master academies in the capital city of 'Wood Plant City' in the [Waterwood Principality], the [Green Leaf Junior Soul Master Academy] was not very large. It was mainly divided into the main teaching building to the east, the central playground, the dormitory buildings for self-funded students to the north, the dormitory buildings for work-study students to the west, and the residential area for faculty and staff to the south.

The academy canteen was on the second floor of the main teaching building, separated into its own area.

The academy also had a library... well, it should be called a book repository, located on the top floor of the main teaching building. The number of books inside was quite impressive~

Through politeness, cuteness, and sweet talk, Ling Yi, with his bright eyes and handsome appearance, learned more about the internal information of the academy from some approachable teachers.

The academy had only one principal, named Mu Yunfu, with the Martial Soul 'Green Vine,' a Level 41 Control-type Soul Master!

Below the principal were the academic affairs director, Liu Mingzhao, and the external affairs director, Ye Jincong. One focused on internal affairs, the other on external affairs, both being high-ranking Soul Respects. The former had the Martial Soul 'Water Cloud Shield,' a Defense-type Soul Master, while the latter had the Martial Soul 'Purple-eyed Lynx,' an Agile-attack-type Soul Master.

In addition, there were six grades with six classes, each class having one homeroom teacher. These homeroom teachers taught different subjects and also taught corresponding classes in other grades. There were also nine subject teachers responsible for teaching specific subjects.

The academy mainly had five subjects, which students learned from shallow to deep according to their grade.

These five subjects were [Types and Attributes of Martial Souls], [Types and Ages of Soul Beasts], [Soul Power Cultivation Techniques], [Practical Combat], and [Continental History].

Clearly, the fifteen teachers each had overlapping but non-conflicting specialties. Some focused on theoretical knowledge, some on auxiliary techniques, and others on practical combat, following the path of a combat soul master.

However, for almost all students, the academy mechanically scheduled classes, and students passively attended and left, superficially and superficially absorbing the knowledge imparted by the teachers.

After understanding this, Ling Yi had to admit that if it were solely about teaching theoretical knowledge of Martial Souls and information about soul beasts to low-level soul masters, the Master Yu Xiaogang from the original story might really outperform more than 90% of the academy teachers on the Douluo Continent.

This was not because he was particularly good at teaching, but because the information he possessed in his mind was extremely rich, capable of adapting to the cultivation needs of most low-level soul masters.

Whether it was mastering Martial Souls, developing their attributes, or choosing the corresponding soul beasts and their ages, Yu Xiaogang, with the vast resources of the [Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Clan] and the [Martial Soul Hall], was truly endowed with unparalleled advantages!

...

'So, how can ordinary people compete with those nobles?'

Inside Room 304 of Building 3, Ling Yi stood in the far corner, mobilizing the soul power within his body and gently infusing it into a pale blue sprout that had just broken through the soil. After using about one percent of his soul power, he moved his finger to the next sprout.

Ling Yi's movements were gentle and orderly, feeling the four or five pairs of curious or strange eyes watching him from behind. He continued to analyze the current situation in his mind.

'The main characters on the big stage aside, even here in the principality, the children of nobles not only have an inherent advantage in Martial Soul bloodlines, but also have specialized cultivation routes and one-on-one elite education in their daily lives...'

Thinking of this, Ling Yi squinted his eyes, suddenly recalling some not-so-pleasant memories.

"How can ten years of hard study compare to three generations of business, or even an old man with a gun..."

"If you were to ascend to the heavens in one step, where would the efforts of generations be placed?"

These two sentences were sharp and cold, causing the Ling Yi from his previous life to once give up and slack off.

But life had to go on. If he couldn't compete, he wouldn't. At least he could make his comfort zone a bit more comfortable...

Now, in this world with a more rigid class system, relying on the knowledge from another world and his foresight of this world, Ling Yi felt like a character from a rebirth novel, returning to the early 21st century, ready to seize the opportunity and strive for a role in the play called 'Douluo Continent'.

'Now, I am just a number in the background, one of the many people in some Eastern principality...'

Ling Yi stood up, feeling the emptiness in his body with only 30% soul power remaining, but his eyes were filled with light. He looked contentedly at the visible growth of the [Blue Silver Grass] seedlings.

'From the background, to an unnamed extra, to a minor character with a small description, to a major character with a significant role, to a crucial character with their own subplot... until finally standing at the center of the stage, becoming the protagonist... or perhaps, the ultimate antagonist?'

Lifting a watering pot, he slowly watered each [Blue Silver Grass] seedling, silently thinking to himself:

'Whether you can accompany me on this journey depends on your own potential and destiny~'

Just as he needed to enhance his own foundation and status on the stage, these [Blue Silver Grass] plants also needed to break free from their inherent limitations, reaching the age of a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years, to be recognized by the world, no longer as a symbol of a useless Martial Soul or a weed to be discarded.

Unfortunately, most [Blue Silver Grass] plants were just ordinary grass.

They sprout in spring, flourish in summer, wither in autumn, and their leaves fall in winter, leaving only the roots buried in the soil.

The grass on the plain grows luxuriantly, withering and reviving each year.

Wildfires cannot consume them, and they grow again with the spring breeze.

Some [Blue Silver Grass] plants store their life force in their roots, waiting for the next winter to pass and break through the soil once more, repeating the cycle.

Until one day, their life force reaches its limit, neither increasing nor decreasing. And on another day, their roots wither and die.

This critical point, as far as Ling Yi had observed, was most often reached around the ten-year mark.

A year ago, Ling Yi had Zhang Lei and his team select three thousand [Blue Silver Grass] seeds, which he had since planted and cultivated.

With the help of deep sleep to restore his soul power and health, Ling Yi used his weak soul power to accelerate the growth of the three thousand [Blue Silver Grass] plants tenfold.

In one year, 2,796 plants grew to the size of three to ten years, stopping the accumulation of life force, clearly having exhausted their potential and unable to continue growing.

The remaining 204 [Blue Silver Grass] plants could still absorb Ling Yi's soul power and continue to grow.

The current issue was that, after a year of observation, for [Blue Silver Grass] plants under ten years, Ling Yi needed to inject soul power every three days to ensure optimal absorption and growth efficiency. For those over ten years, he could inject more soul power at a time, extending the interval to about ten days.

And Ling Yi had been away from Mountain Sea Village for four days~
