I am the Immortal Emperor, and I am VIP 50.

"Zhou Yu," just as Zhou Yu was "collecting money" from his classmates, the homeroom teacher walked over, gave Zhou Yu a thumbs up, and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully awakened your spiritual energy and officially become a cultivator."

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't say anything, the homeroom teacher transferred 100 yuan to him.

"Thank you, teacher," Zhou Yu replied. "I owe a great deal to you for making me who I am today."

The homeroom teacher smiled, narrowing his eyes. "Oh? What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for not nurturing me."

The homeroom teacher was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Come to my office later to pick up the supplementary teaching materials. You will officially start classes tomorrow."

"I'm telling you this upfront so you won't be discouraged later."

The homeroom teacher cleared his throat and said, "Even if you have awakened your spiritual energy, you must remain humble and prudent, because whether it's your classmates and teachers or the college entrance examination, they all look at your overall score."

"It's not enough that you get a good score in the spiritual energy assessment. There are many other assessments that you won't encounter today, but will encounter in the next monthly exam."

"Only your monthly exam score will officially determine your academic performance at school."

As she spoke, a chilling smile appeared on the homeroom teacher's face.

"So you need to keep working hard and not be complacent."

Zhou Yu nodded.

In summary, don't rush. Right now, you've only taken the Spiritual Energy Assessment, which isn't a formal exam. Your overall score in the monthly exams later will prove whether you're truly amazing.

After saying this, the homeroom teacher left, handing the scene over to the young people.

"Your homeroom teacher is right," Liu Bei nodded. "You only took one exam this time, and your overall score only counts as one subject's score. Only the monthly exam will reveal your true abilities."

Liang Yanbo nodded, "That's right. You may not realize the seriousness of the problem yet, but you'll understand in class tomorrow."

Zhou Yu squinted, feeling that there was something strange about what these people were saying.

But none of that matters anymore.

Approaching Liu Bei, Zhou Yu pointed to himself and said, "See? I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Zhou Yu was talking to him about investing in him.

"You invested 10,000 yuan in me before, and now I've proven that investing in me was worthwhile. How about considering adding to your investment?"

This was the second time Zhou Yu had asked this question. The first time he asked it, Liu Bei hadn't seen any results, so Liu Bei naturally refused the request to increase the stockpiles.

but now……

To be honest, a spiritual energy value of 1.58 is indeed quite impressive.

Even Liu Bei had some doubts about what this guy had done with the money to achieve such obvious results.

But most people wouldn't say such things, and Liu Bei wouldn't casually test these things.

"Should I increase my holdings...?" Liu Bei stroked his chin.

When he first saw Zhou Yu, he did have the feeling that "investing in him is definitely the right thing to do," but at that time Liu Bei thought it was because of his sympathy for Zhou Yu as a "friend of Gao Ying."

Now it seems...maybe it's true!

After hesitating for a long time, Liu Bei raised his head and asked Zhou Yu, "How much do you want me to increase the bet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately understood that the matter was definitely settled. However, he couldn't lose face, so he calmly said, "You decide how much to pay. Now that things have come to this, I trust your judgment."

Liu Bei paused for a moment, then picked up his phone and transferred a sum of money to Zhou Yu.

"WeChat payment received, 200,000 yuan."

Hearing the voice from the phone, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, "Not enough..."

Seeing this, Liu Bei frowned slightly. "Not enough?"

Zhou Yu immediately knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Liu Bei, and said, "Being your adopted son is far from enough! Imperial Uncle, your kindness can never be repaid in this lifetime. I plan to find you another adopted grandson!"

With that, Zhou Yu grabbed Liang Yanbo and pulled him over. "You're the one! Quick! Call him Grandpa!"

Liu Bei: "..."

Liang Yanbo: "I'm so rough with Li Nainai!"

Gao Ying: "Hahahahahahaha~"

……

After the spiritual energy assessment ended, Zhou Yu didn't have the opportunity to try the remaining assessment items because he hadn't systematically studied them yet.

It was said that the exam would last all day, so Zhou Yu didn't get too involved and picked up a batch of brand-new textbooks from his homeroom teacher.

The textbooks include "Detailed Explanation of the Returning to Truth Breathing Method", "A New Explanation of the Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique", "Qi and Blood Heart Method", and "Complete Collection of Talismans (High School Edition)"...

"This book, 'Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique,' is a required course for cultivators to refine their bodies. You'll need it during your physical education class, so I suggest you read it as soon as you get back. As for 'Returning to Truth Breathing Method,' you'll need it during your spiritual energy class, so you should also start preparing for it as soon as possible."

"There's also this 'Qi and Blood Heart Method,' which is a special method for those in the Qi and Blood Realm, used to enhance spiritual power. You also need to study it in advance."

The homeroom teacher briefly explained, "You can learn the content of the remaining books during class."

Zhou Yu only now realized that the three compulsory subjects of Chinese, mathematics, and English before the spiritual energy was restored had been replaced by three subjects of spiritual energy, physical education, and mental cultivation after the spiritual energy was fully restored, which together reduced the score by 450 points.

The physical education teachers, now fully restored to their former glory, are truly living in a great era; they can now openly steal other teachers' classes.

And why does the name "Spiritual Consciousness Gathering Technique" sound so familiar? Where did you copy it from?

Besides these three subjects, the remaining combined science and humanities subjects were replaced with three subjects: talisman making, weapon forging, and alchemy, which were deducted from the total score by 300 points, bringing the total score to 750 points.

"So that means..." Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something, "the highest score I can get on this semester's entrance exam is only 150 points?"

The homeroom teacher nodded, "Yes, by the time you take the monthly exam, you will have passed all the subjects."

"Grades are very important, otherwise why would I tell you not to slack off?"

Zhou Yu scratched his head while holding the textbook.

After receiving the textbooks, Zhou Yu had nothing more to do.

After flipping through all the textbooks in the classroom, Zhou Yu, having nothing else to do, stuffed them all into his desk and went straight home.

As soon as he got home, Zhou Yu saw his mother busy cleaning the house. He put his hands on his hips and called out in a strong voice, "Mom!"

Zhou's mother looked up at Zhou Yu, who was beaming with joy, and her heart skipped a beat.

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yu squinted. "I have some incredibly good news. Do you want to hear it?"

"Such wonderful news?" Zhou's mother exclaimed excitedly. "You're running away from home?"

Zhou Yu: "..."

"It doesn't seem so," Zhou's mother shook her head, a new guess rising in her mind, "Could it be that you really have found a boyfriend?"

"...I have awakened my spiritual energy."

"Really!" Zhou's mother straightened up excitedly. "What's so good about this news?"

Zhou Yu: "...Could you please give me your phone?"

Zhou's mother: "You want to use my phone to apply for an online loan? What were your exam scores? I heard your third aunt's nephew scored 580 on his exam and got a 20 million yuan loan online!"

"I only took one exam," Zhou Yu replied, "and the highest score I can get is 150."

Hearing this, Zhou's mother shook her head, "Then you need to work harder. You're more than 400 points behind others! Even last year's cutoff score for junior college wasn't this low."

Zhou Yu: "Please give me your phone back..."
