My cultivation shop refreshes daily.

As Zhou Yu walked into the testing equipment, the examiner suddenly recognized him.

"Student," the examiner asked, "aren't you the one who had a spiritual energy value of 1.58 right after awakening your spiritual energy in the last exam?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, it's me! I didn't expect you to recognize me, teacher. Is there anything you want to tell me?"

The examiner said, "Did you put on your sanitary napkin properly today? Don't let it fall out again."

Zhou Yu: "...Thank you for reminding me."

In the audience, the director, watching Zhou Yu talking to the examiners, asked the teachers next to him, "Who is this person? He looks so familiar."

"Director, this is Zhou Yu, the student who awakened his spiritual energy during the opening exam and whose spiritual energy value reached 1.58."

Upon hearing this, the director was slightly surprised. "Just awakened spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy value is already 1.58? Isn't that even more impressive than Sun Quan's back then? How come I didn't know about this?"

"Good question." ×N

The headmaster was somewhat embarrassed that he didn't even know he had such a high-achieving student among his own second-year high school students. He stiffly changed the subject, "Who are his teachers? How has he performed since awakening his spiritual energy?"

"It's me," Teacher Huang pushed up his glasses again, and I don't know if it was because there was too much oil on his nose, but it kept dripping down. "Although he is talented, his attitude towards learning is very improper. At least he has never paid attention in my Reiki class."

"He scored 137 points in the opening exam, but judging from his attitude towards learning and self-cultivation, his score will probably drop a lot this time."

The score for the spiritual energy assessment is mainly calculated based on two aspects: one is the content of spiritual energy itself, the higher the content, the higher the score; the other is the increase in spiritual energy, the higher the increase, the better the score.

Therefore, a high spiritual energy value alone does not necessarily mean a high score. The score is roughly 60/40 based on the increase in spiritual energy value and the total amount of spiritual energy value. After all, the amount of spiritual energy value only represents the starting point, while the increase in spiritual energy value represents talent and effort.

"Really?" The director shook his head helplessly. "That's a pity. Such a promising talent has been ruined because of his own attitude. It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent..."

The surrounding teachers also shook their heads.

"Director, his results are out," the least senior teacher suddenly said.

The headmaster, without even opening his eyes, shook his head. "Really? How were his grades?"

The least experienced teacher paused for a second, then said, "Hmm...it's alright?"

"How good is 'pretty good'?"

The director also opened his eyes and looked at the display screen of the testing instrument where Zhou Yu was.

15.81.

"hiss……"

The director rubbed his eyes, then opened them again and glanced at the screen.

It's still 15.81.

"Wait, wait..." The director rubbed his temples. "Am I still half asleep...?"

The teachers around were also stunned, wondering if they had seen it wrong.

Until, the students in the gymnasium burst into a gasp.

Holy crap!

"Taking away the young master??"

"15.81? Taller than Liu Bei? Really?"

"I originally thought Liu Bei was invincible, but I never expected someone to be even more valiant than him. Whose general is this?!"

Zhao Yun: Then who am I?

……

Standing outside the testing equipment, Gao Ying and the others, who had just finished their exams, stared at the numbers on the screen, momentarily stunned.

Is this number accurate?

No, bro, aren't you usually hanging out with us? Don't we know whether you've been practicing or not?

While we were making fun of things, you were making fun of things; while we were working hard, you were still making fun of things. How come you've actually made something big now?

A spiritual energy value of 15.81 is worse than being killed!

Anyone can be 15.81, especially me, but you are the only one who can't be!

Liu Bei's expression was the most interesting. What he carried on his back was the hard work and dedication of the entire second-year high school spiritual energy group teachers, plus his 99% talent and effort, which led to his current success.

And Zhou Yu...

How could he be taller than me!

The examiner held Zhou Yu's file and compared it with the previous one, looking quite surprised.

There is no doubt that this achievement is real.

Zhou Yu achieved such terrifying results without even practicing the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique!

While it's true that performing a highly proficient Guizhen breathing technique can yield better results than usual, are you sure you're not doing this on purpose if you achieve this level of performance without even using Guizhen breathing techniques?

"Is the test over, teacher?" Zhou Yu asked calmly, as if achieving such a good score was nothing to him.

"Wow," Mo Ci covered her mouth, "He's actually so calm? If I got a score like that, I would have been jumping up and down in a panic."

Gao Ying squinted her eyes. As the person who knew Zhou Yu best, she naturally noticed some clues.

"Don't rush, let the beast fly a little longer."

The examiner nodded blankly. "It's over..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction, pushed open the barrier of the testing instrument, stepped onto the stairs, and walked out of the instrument.

Amidst the shocked and envious gazes of the crowd, Zhou Yu stepped onto the bottom step.

thump--

His legs went weak, and he knelt down in front of Gao Ying in front of everyone.

Gao Ying: "I knew it."

She had just noticed that Zhou Yu was so excited that the muscles in his legs were starting to twitch, and he almost wanted to jump up.

She had expected Zhou Yu to jump up the moment he came out, but instead he jumped down.

"Brother Yu... you're definitely going to be number one in the grade in the spiritual energy assessment now."

"So?" Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, "So, being first in the grade means you don't need help, right?"

Gao Ying helped him up from the ground.

After getting up from the ground, Zhou Yu looked at Liang Yanbo, Liu Bei, Sima Yi, and Mo Ci in front of him and asked, "Well? Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"You've disappointed me so much!" Liang Yanbo roared. "You always act all nonchalant to lull us into a false sense of security, but you've actually been secretly competing with us. You deserve to die!"

Suppressing his emotions, Liu Bei gave Zhou Yu a thumbs up, "You pretend not to work hard all the time, but then put on a big show at the last minute. That's you."

As he spoke, he pointed his thumb down again, "Now I know you've been secretly competing with me. If you surpass me again next time, this is what I'll do."

Zhou Yu: "..."

Sima Yi and Mo Ci were relatively normal, and they congratulated Zhou Yu.

Meanwhile, in the audience, the director began to tremble.

Teacher Huang turned her head and asked, "Who turned on the switch? Why is the director shaking like this?"

"Nonsense!" the director replied. "I'm just trembling with excitement. If there were only one Liu Bei, I think this year's spiritual energy competition might be a little risky."

"But if we have another Zhou Yu, I think there's hope."

Teacher Huang squinted, "What hope?"

"Of course, it's an opportunity to win a ranking!" the director said happily. "With Zhou Yu and Liu Bei, this pair of 'Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick,' in this year's Spiritual Energy Competition, although our No. 2 Middle School can't beat those key high schools, we'll definitely be able to compete with those ordinary high schools."

"I'm giving you ten minutes. Within those ten minutes, I need all of Zhou Yu's information, and then I need to ask him if he wants to represent our school in the competition!"

The director was so excited he was practically bursting with excitement. "With such high spiritual talent, even if he fails the physical education and mental cultivation exams, I don't care. As the saying goes, when God opens a window, he closes a door."

"But this one window is enough."

"I don't expect No. 2 Middle School to produce a second Sun Zhongmou."
