My cultivation shop refreshes daily.

After successfully fooling Zhou Yu, Sun Zhongmou felt much more at ease, and the experience of being cheated out of money by Zhou Yu seemed to have vanished all at once.

"Oh, this is wonderful," Sun Zhongmou remarked as he walked out of the office, "The sun is so beautiful."

Zhou Yu, speechless, also walked out of the office.

This guy just came up to me to cause trouble, right?

Despite the little incident involving Sun Zhongmou, Zhou Yu's day remained largely unchanged.

The morning session was a mental cultivation class, after which we had a free meal at the cafeteria. The afternoon session consisted of a weapon-forging class and a physical education class.

However, Zhou Yu vaguely felt that his classmates were particularly attentive to him during physical education class.

Whenever Mr. Li, the PE teacher, finishes explaining a concept and then asks students to practice against each other, the students he's paired with will start saying something.

"Hey Zhou, do you want some candy?"

"Hey Zhou, aren't you tired after standing for so long? How about we take a break?"

"Hey Zhou, I think I've got hemorrhoids, and they're internal. Could you help me push them back in?"

……

It can be said that Zhou Yu did everything for everyone except for actual combat.

It refers to the things they arranged.

After the bell rang, Zhou Yu wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead and sighed.

"I've really had a tough time."

Physical education teacher: "...Thankfully, nothing serious happened."

Classmates: "...We're safe, temporarily."

Given the previous rumors that Zhou Yu had almost killed the PE teacher during a physical education class, his classmates were indeed reluctant to fight him.

If it's during an exam and you have to use your hands, then that's fine.

They certainly don't want to get injured unexpectedly during class.

Regarding the rumors that he was almost beaten to death, Teacher Li did not try to refute them. After all, strong people can be seen as targets by others, and with targets, it is easier to create a catfish effect, which can revitalize Qingcheng No. 2 Middle School, which has become a stagnant pool.

There was such a person in the senior year of high school. His name was Sun Zhongmou, and his strength was all-encompassing.

Although Zhou Yu only demonstrated his strength in physical education class, something is better than nothing.

"Second Middle School really needs someone to break the deadlock..."

Thinking of this, Teacher Li shook her head helplessly.

……

After a day of classes, Zhou Yu went to the club activity room.

In the club activity room, Liu Bei and Sima Yi had been waiting for a long time.

They weren't in the same class as Zhou Yu, so their schedules and free time were quite different.

Even within the same class, there can be slight differences due to variations in academic performance.

For example, today, students who scored above 450 were called away by their homeroom teacher, apparently to attend some kind of leisure lecture that only top students could attend.

Before leaving, Gao Ying whispered in Zhou Yu's ear, "We're going to an awesome lecture. All the big names in the entertainment industry will be there, but guess who didn't get an invitation?"

Zhou Yu kicked her out of the classroom.

"Why didn't you two attend that lecture or something?"

Liu Bei replied calmly, "I paid to attend that teacher's lecture a long time ago, but it was meaningless. It's better to cultivate on your own."

Sima Yi nodded, "The teacher who gave the lecture came to give me a lecture when he was trying to curry favor with our family. I've listened to it before, but it wasn't very interesting."

Zhou Yu: "..."

Paying to attend a lecture?

Hmm... that seems like a good idea too.

However, given Zhou Yu's current level of fame, even if he were to hold a lecture, he probably wouldn't get any attention, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

As for Mo Ci, she didn't come today, for reasons unknown, but she was mainly there to make up the numbers for the club, so Zhou Yu didn't restrict her movements.

"By the way," Zhou Yu asked Sima Yi, "when is Zhu Ling arriving?"

Sima Yi took out his phone, glanced at it, and shook his head. "I don't know, he didn't reply to my message."

"But knowing her as I do, after hearing what you said yesterday, she probably won't come today, right? She's already treating you like a liar."

Not coming?

How could we not come!

Zhou Yu had finally managed to steal the Zhu family's Taiyi Divine Skill and even improved it into the Taiyi Heavenly Technique. If the Zhu family didn't give him money, where would he get the money to improve the Taiyi Heavenly Technique?

There's no such thing as a free lunch!

"No," Zhou Yu shook his head, "I can't accept it. She has to come, she has to come for me!"

Sima Yi didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject, "Speaking of which, did you really learn the Taiyi Divine Skill in just one day?"

Zhou Yu then remembered something and asked Sima Yi, "Do you recognize her Taiyi Divine Skill?"

"Huh? Me?" Sima Yi was taken aback. "I guess I can manage. I've only seen her use it before, I haven't learned how, so I might not actually recognize it..."

"It's alright, your words are enough," Zhou Yu patted Sima Yi on the shoulder and said, "I'll run the 'Circulation' for you now, and then we can pass on this good news to Zhu Ling..."

"No... I said stop, stop..."

Before Sima Yi could finish speaking, Zhou Yu had already activated the Lv1 Taiyi Heavenly Technique.

Watching the spiritual energy being manipulated, Sima Yi truly felt a sense of familiarity.

and many more……

It looks like it's genuine?

"Wait a minute," Sima Yi straightened his posture and said to Zhou Yu, "You, you, you, run it again so I can see?"

Zhou Yu did not refuse and circulated the Taiyi Heavenly Technique for another cycle.

Although the Taiyi Heavenly Technique is an advanced technique that is modified and supplemented based on the Taiyi Divine Skill, in the first level, there is not much difference in essence, enough to reach the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing.

After watching Zhou Yu complete another full cycle of the Taiyi Heavenly Technique, Sima Yi was dumbfounded. Could it really be true that he could learn a new technique in just one day?

Even basic techniques like the Returning to Truth Breathing Method and the Spirit Gathering Technique, which high school students can easily understand, cannot be mastered in a single day.

Not to mention techniques like Taiyi Divine Skill, which are not basic martial arts techniques and are quite difficult to understand.

Did he really learn it in just one day?

Are you sure I'm not...?

Zhou Yu raised his hand and slapped Sima Yi across the face.

Sima Yi was already stunned, and the slap made him even more stunned. "What are you doing?"

Zhou Yu said in a serious tone, "I bet your next sentence will be, 'Are you sure I'm not dreaming?'"

"so what?"

"Did that slap hurt a lot?"

"Definitely!"

"That's good, it should hurt," Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction. "You're not dreaming."

Sima Yi: "...Having you as my teacher is the greatest blessing of my life."

Zhou Yu: "You're welcome."
