Episode 5 School

  In the evening, after closing her stall, Li Ping hurried back home to cook dinner. She then gently pushed open Li Yan's door, intending to call him for dinner. However, at that moment, she saw Li Yan sitting at his desk, with a look of infatuation on his face, intently writing and drawing something on a blank sheet of paper. Her heart warmed up, thinking: It seems that after yesterday's incident, her son has finally come to his senses.

  "Xiao Yan." Finally, Li Ping couldn't help but call out, although she didn't want to interrupt Li Yan. However, in her opinion, Li Yan's body was really too weak and couldn't withstand such continuous research and exhaustion. So, she finally spoke up and interrupted Li Yan.

  At that moment, even Li Yan couldn't help but be greatly shocked. Just now, he was really too focused, to the point where he hadn't even noticed his mother, Li Ping, had come up behind him. After being startled, he hastily turned around and asked in surprise: "Mom, when did you get here?"

  Li Ping's face was filled with a relieved smile, her nose twitching slightly as she asked with concern: "Mom didn't want to disturb you while you were studying, but you've been working hard all day and dinner is already ready, so shouldn't you eat something to fill your stomach?"

  Upon hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded and smiled in response: "Alright then, let's eat first. I'm also hungry, I was busy looking for books at noon and only had a little to eat."

  As he spoke, Li Yan tidied up the messy papers on the table and pressed them under a book, then stood up. Li Ping took a glance and saw that the papers were covered with messy symbols and numbers, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Little Yan, what are you studying?"

  Li Yan replied nonchalantly, "Nothing much, just some formulas. Although my mind is clearer now, there are still some knowledge that requires time and effort to figure out."

  Li Ping nodded comfortingly and said, "Good son, although there are only two months left, as long as you're willing to put in the effort and study hard, you'll definitely see results. If your grades can improve by a few tens of points, getting into a third-tier university shouldn't be a problem."

  "......" Upon hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but be speechless for a moment. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Isn't that right? Could it be that you have no confidence in your own son? With my current abilities, I'm more than qualified to do research, let alone just take the college entrance exam? Moreover, as a reincarnated Eight Tribulations散仙, after putting in some effort, I'd only be aiming for a third-tier university - isn't that a bit too humiliating?"

  After dinner, Li Yan did not continue to deduce knowledge, but sat cross-legged on his own bed, quietly cultivating. After all, cultivation was his main business, and everything else was just a derivative sideline.

  Yin spirit nocturnal wandering is for ghost refinement; Yang spirit diurnal wandering is for god refinement; Original spirit exits the mortal body, only then can it be called a dispersed immortal.

  Nowadays, Li Yan has already possessed a powerful yuan Shen and law power that can be compared to a scattered immortal, but unfortunately he has just gone through the cycle of reincarnation, and his yuan Shen cannot leave his body at present. He can't even do the most basic night travel as a cultivator.

  So now, Li Yan had no choice but to work hard to cultivate himself in order to restore his primordial spirit to its best state. In this way, relying on his own strength, he would be able to roam freely and look down on others on this planet, even if he wasn't invincible.

  The next day, Li Yan went out to exercise again. After returning, he continued his unfinished work and diligently expanded various knowledge. Although it was only a short period of one day, it was enough for Li Yan to grasp incredibly rich knowledge that was hard to imagine.

  Moreover, with his ability, this knowledge is not only learned, but also has been integrated and improved by him. Except for English listening and speaking skills which still have some shortcomings, all other subjects have basically been mastered by Li Yan.

  It was Monday again, and after exercising in the park as usual, Li Yan had to embark on his school journey under the expectant eyes of his mother, Li Ping. In fact, it wasn't difficult for Li Yan to get money with his skills, but as a reborn person, he couldn't help but feel extremely cautious about this unfamiliar environment. Moreover, at present, his strength was only a fraction of what it used to be, so before he recovered to a level that he felt was sufficient, he didn't want to stand out too much, lest he attract the attention of the strong people on this planet.

  Although there was no record of this aspect in the memory of the previous one, Li Yan did not think that there would be no supernatural powers on this planet. After all, those so-called myths and legends were not unfounded. At least in Li Yan's cognition, some of the mythological figures in these legends were similar to some of the immortal Taoist masters he had met before.

  So, although it's unclear, he can still barely confirm that on this planet, there must be more than one relatively perfect cultivation system, at least, there used to be.

  With a brisk pace, Li Yan finished the road that usually takes half an hour to walk in less than twenty minutes and arrived at Longtan Second Middle School.

  "Hey, look, isn't that Li Yan?"

  "Stupid Li Yan? Impossible, Li Yan is nowhere near as handsome as him!"

  "What nice sunshine! Look at him, he's smiling at me, I'm going to faint!"

  Li Yan couldn't help but furrow his brow, when did he ever smile at her? Please, bro has been to countless planets and seen many ugly girls, but like classmate you, so ugly is really rare!

  Can't help but say, the current Li Yan has changed dramatically compared to before. Of course, this isn't to say that Li Yan's appearance or figure suddenly changed, but rather his temperament has changed. The immortal's aura, the warrior's vital energy, and the profound knowledge have all come together to make him look handsome!

  "Hum! What a flower idiot, being handsome is useless, just a weak-minded person!"

  "Yes, being handsome is useless, Wang Jie from another family is better. Not only does he look good, but his grades are also top in the whole grade, truly a perfect combination of talent and looks."

  "You'd better give up, who doesn't know that Wang Jie likes Yang Xueying? Besides, even if Yang Xueying didn't accept his pursuit, someone like you wouldn't even have a chance to line up!"

  Whispers of students' discussions kept coming to his ears, mostly from girls, and occasionally he would hear the laughter of boys. Li Yan seemed to be ignoring all this and went straight to his own class, High Three Class One. Although this so-called "Class One" was not a key class, and even in Longtan Second Middle School, there were no distinctions between key classes and ordinary classes. However, perhaps it was because of the name "Class One" that the students here seemed to have a certain aura about them, and as a result, their grades were generally higher than those of other classes.

  Of course, there are exceptions to everything. In this class, there were also several students who didn't like studying or had relatively poor aptitude, and their grades never improved. It was fortunate that Li Yan from before was one of them. After all, due to the limitations he was born with, his brainpower and physical strength were relatively weaker, making him appear weak-minded in others' eyes. As a result, despite his constant efforts, he didn't achieve much success, and his grades always hovered at the bottom.

  As he stepped into the classroom, without looking around, Li Yan could sense that many of his classmates had already arrived. Probably because of the upcoming second mock exam, most students were now seated at their desks, actively preparing for it. Although Li Yan wasn't late, he wasn't particularly early either.

  However, since the original Li Yan was just an inconspicuous existence in the class, his arrival would not cause any waves, and it was only noticed that a classmate had entered, inevitably distracting them, looking towards the door, seeing that it was Li Yan, and flashing a few disdainful and contemptuous glances, but there were also boys who, after showing disdain and contempt, couldn't help but reveal a few admiring gazes.

  Li Yan didn't mind at all and walked directly to his own desk, then as usual, he calmly said to his deskmate: "Excuse me..."
