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

Monday morning.

Zhou Yu sat up in bed and took a deep breath.

Today is very important to him.

With a posture of preparing for battle, Zhou Yu injected ten needles of body-strengthening potion and ten needles of spirit-gathering potion into his body. After a short while, he got up from the bed.

Zhou Zaozao and Zhou Wanwan, who had originally planned to lie down at his door to listen to what was happening inside, scrambled to their feet as soon as they heard the door open.

"Yo! Big brother!" Zhou Zaozao forced a smile. "Good morning."

Zhou Wanwan blinked, "Sound of a date!"

Zhou Yu, with a stern face and an air of otherworldly elegance, replied, "Good morning. The weather is truly lovely today, perfect for this Immortal Emperor to go out and cultivate."

Zhou Zaozao: "..."

Zhou Wanwan: "..."

Did he get his head squeezed in a door?

After washing up in the bathroom, Zhou Yu went to the dining table, lifted her non-existent skirt, and sat down in the chair.

Zhou's mother: "If you have lice on your butt, scratch them. Don't go crazy here."

Zhou Zaozao hesitated and said, "Mom, I think my brother is acting strange this morning. Please don't upset him..."

Zhou Yu just smiled dismissively at their words. "It's alright, let Mom continue. After today, she probably won't have the chance to say these things to me again."

Zhou's mother was stunned for a moment, not understanding why. "Why after today?"

"Didn't you know?" Zhou Yu brushed his bangs aside. "Today is the day of the entrance exam for the second year of high school."

A test to start school?

Zhou's mother realized that today was the day that would determine whether Zhou Yu, a second-year high school student, would awaken his spiritual energy.

What does that have to do with what he just said?

Suddenly, Zhou's mother realized something, and her expression changed drastically.

"No, son, you can't do that!"

Zhou Yu: "...What are you saying?"

"Weren't you going to jump off the building?" Zhou's mother said, tears streaming down her face. "You can't do something like that."

Zhou Zaozao was also stunned, "Really, bro? You really want to do this? Today? At school?"

Zhou Wanwan, unaware of what had happened, immediately cheered, "Oh oh oh!"

Zhou Yu: "..."

Is there anyone normal in this family?

"It wasn't a suicide attempt!" Zhou Yu's face darkened. "You're overthinking it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If you're going to jump, you have to do it in our neighborhood. That way, the rent can be reduced a bit."

"..."

Zhou Zaozao: "Why don't you come to our school? That way we can get a few days off."

"..."

Zhou Yu got up and walked towards his front door.

"What are you doing?" Zhou's mother turned and called out to him, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"I'm not eating anymore, I have no appetite. You can give it to Wanwan and Zaozao, they're growing."

"Are you kidding me!" Zhou's mother said angrily, "How could I possibly let them eat such a meager breakfast?"

Zhou Yu: "..."

……

After leaving home and arriving at school, the whole school was quite lively today.

After all, it was the first exam after the start of the semester, and for many of them, it was their first exam after awakening their spiritual energy, so the novelty made them somewhat excited.

"Brother Yu! Good morning!"

As Zhou Yu walked into the classroom, Gao Ying still wore a carefree smile and greeted him.

"morning."

Zhou Yu had just sat down when Liang Yanbo, who was in front of him, turned around and asked, "How is it? Do you feel the awakening of spiritual energy?"

"The feeling of awakening spiritual energy?" Zhou Yu had never experienced anything special before. "What is the feeling of awakening spiritual energy?"

"...It's alright now."

Liang Yanbo turned his head back.

For cultivators, awakening spiritual energy should be a very obvious feeling. Since Zhou Yu did not feel it, it means that he has not awakened spiritual energy.

Well then, there's no point in saying anything more.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu was immediately annoyed, turning Liang Yanbo's head back. "Look at your expression, do you not believe me or what?"

"No……"

"Then I have to make a bet with you," Zhou Yu said, arms crossed. "Let's bet ten thousand yuan..."

"I'm not a gambler..."

"It's alright, it's settled then. Gao Ying, you'll be my witness. He'll give me ten thousand yuan when I awaken my spiritual energy, is that alright?"

Gao Ying immediately saluted, "I guarantee! Mission! Success! Will! Be! Completed!"

Liang Yanbo's face turned green. "I don't fucking have ten thousand yuan!"

"Seriously? You don't even have ten thousand yuan?" A hint of helplessness flashed across Zhou Yu's face. "Alright then, let's bet five hundred yuan, is that okay?"

"Tsk..." Liang Yanbo curled his lip. "Fine, fine, five hundred it is..."

Upon hearing Liang Yanbo's agreement, a cold smile crept onto Zhou Yu's lips.

Sure enough, Chinese people like to compromise and settle things. If you ask him to bet 500 yuan, he will definitely not agree.

But as long as you ask for 10,000 yuan first, he will agree to let you bet 500 yuan.

I'm a genius.

The noisy classroom quieted down somewhat as the homeroom teacher entered.

"Dear students," the homeroom teacher stood in front of the podium with a smile, holding the class roster, "today is the opening test, but please don't be nervous. After all, it's just a small test to assess everyone's performance."

"The exams may take a lot of time, but please take them seriously. Every exam you take at school will affect your situation there, so please be aware of that."

Zhou Yu: "?"

"However, for students who haven't awakened their spiritual energy before the opening test, you won't need to spend as much time. You only need to take the spiritual energy assessment test."

"The remaining time is still free to arrange as you see fit; the school will not manage it."

Upon hearing this, Gao Ying muttered, "That's so nice..."

Zhou Yu thought to himself, "I don't think so."

The first test this morning was a spiritual energy assessment. According to the homeroom teacher, as soon as the test was over, the students who had not awakened their spiritual energy before today could go directly back to the classroom.

The venue for the second-year high school spiritual energy assessment was the playground, where all the students of the second year of high school gathered. Zhou Yu spotted Liu Bei in the crowd at first glance.

"Uncle Liu!" Zhou Yu greeted him.

Upon hearing the voice, Liu Bei looked in the direction of the sound and nodded to Zhou Yu.

It's time to confront him...

Thinking of this, Liu Bei informed his classmates behind him and then walked up to Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

"No rush, let's talk about it after we measure the spiritual energy."

"...I think it would be better if I told you about this in advance."

Zhou Yu looked into Liu Bei's eyes and asked, "Don't you believe I've awakened spiritual energy?"

"No, that's not it, I just..."

"Then I have to make a bet with you."

"what?"

"Let's bet ten thousand yuan," Zhou Yu raised his right arm, "It's settled then, Gao Ying, you'll be our witness..."

Gao Ying poked her head out from under Zhou Yu's armpit, saluted again, and said, "I guarantee! Mission! Success! !"

Liu Bei: "..."

Damn it, do you want to listen to me first?!
