Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 382: A Shadow of an Old Friend

Hao Yuan's gaze toward Lin Yu changed.

If before he was merely looking at a "remnant" left behind by an old friend, now he was looking at a true "successor of the Shen family."

"Do you still remember how to use it?" Hao Yuan pressed on, a hint of barely concealed urgency in his voice.

Lin Yu did not answer immediately this time.

This question was a trap.

If he said, "I remember how to use it," what if the other party asked him to set up a high-level killing formation on the spot? With his current level of soul power, he couldn't even muster a basic fireball spell.

He weighed his words carefully, his tone carrying a trace of genuine helplessness and bitterness:

"I can draw it. I know in my head how it should flow and how it should change."

"But I can only draw the simplest ones using soul power."

Lin Yu looked at his own translucent palm and let out a self-deprecating laugh. "Anything slightly more complex... even just a Spirit Gathering Array... my soul body can't handle it. I'd fall apart halfway through drawing it."Hao Yuan nodded slightly. The urgency in his eyes dissipated, replaced by understanding.

The soul body was severely damaged. Even if the memories remained, it could no longer mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. That was the price.

Reasonable.

The pressure in the surroundings seemed to ease slightly with Hao Yuan's nod.

"Since you've remembered so much..."

Hao Yuan withdrew his gaze, looking back at Lin Yu, and asked a question that seemed casual yet struck straight at the heart:

"Why not teach that child?"

This question was quite sharp.

Since you are a Shen family successor, since you want to rely on this child to reshape your physical body or pass on the mantle, why only teach him the surface? Why let him study that crude *True Meaning of Basic Rune Deconstruction* instead of directly imparting the Shen family's profound formation techniques?

Lin Yu was momentarily stunned, as if organizing his thoughts.
