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

Just as Zhou Yu and Liu Bei were making their bet, a loud gasp suddenly erupted from the students.

"Holy crap! Look! Who's that?!"

Zhou Yu looked in the direction the crowd was pointing and saw a familiar face standing in the stands outside the playground.

Sun Zhongmou, the top student in his grade during his senior year of high school.

He was also the wealthy person who voluntarily transferred 10,000 yuan to Zhou Yu some time ago.

"The top student in the grade this year is here too," Liu Bei said, staring at Sun Zhongmou standing in the audience, then glancing at an ordinary-looking senior standing next to Sun Zhongmou. "No... should I say the student council is here?"

"Student council?"

"Yes," Liu Bei nodded, "but it's more like a student club that uses the name of the student council than a student council. It just has prestige because the students who join this club every year are the most outstanding in the school."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu looked enlightened. "Then Brother Sun, being the top student in his senior year, must be the student council president, right?"

"No," Liu Bei shook his head, "he is the vice president."

If the top student in the grade isn't the student council president? Then who can be the student council president?

Zhou Yu looked surprised. "There's someone even more awesome than the top student in the grade? Who is this person?"

Liu Bei: "I am second in my grade."

Zhou Yu: "..."

"What's wrong?"

"Is the second-ranked student in the grade even more impressive than the first-ranked student?"

"Of course not, being number one in the grade is definitely the best."

"Then why did the second-highest scorer in the grade become the student council president, while the top scorer only became the vice president?"

Liu Bei was somewhat speechless, and explained, "The top student only needs to focus on studying and improving their grades, but the second-place student has a lot more to consider..."

"What the second-ranked student needs to do is ensure that no one can surpass him and the first-ranked student, and then take on all the things that might interfere with the first-ranked student's studies, becoming their slave."

"So, Sun Zhongmou, who is first in the grade, is the vice president of the student council, while the second-ranked student next to him is the president. He has to handle the work of both himself and Sun Zhongmou."

Zhou Yu: "..."

He originally thought that people who hadn't awakened their spiritual energy had no human rights, but he didn't expect that among the students who had awakened their spiritual energy, those with poor grades also had no human rights compared to those with good grades!

Is this what they call wolf-like competition and militarized management?

Outside the playground, in the stands.

The student council president smiled broadly, holding binoculars as he observed the second-year high school students on the playground. "So? Among this year's second-year students, are there any students you find interesting?"

Sun Zhongmou glanced briefly around the playground and said calmly, "So-so. I feel like the quality of this year's freshmen is just average."

"Really? I don't think so..." The student council president gave a mysterious smile. "I've just discovered a very promising talent."

Upon hearing this, Sun Zhongmou's eyes flickered slightly. "Really? Where?"

The student council president pointed and said, "Look, there's that guy."

"I see it, what's so good about it?"

"Can't you tell?" The student council president smirked. "I bet you, she's wearing a bra; her real size is probably around an E!"

Sun Zhongmou's face darkened. "...Is this what you mean by 'interesting'?"

The student council president looked surprised. "Isn't this interesting? Don't you have any personal life?"

"..."

Sun Zhongmou didn't want to talk to this bastard, and looked at the crowd again.

This time, he noticed Zhou Yu in the crowd.

"This guy..."

Last time, this guy swindled 10,000 yuan from me, and I didn't bother to argue with him. But now that this guy is using my name to swindle people, I can't accept that.

"Where's that kid?"

Looking in the direction Sun Zhongmou was pointing, the student council president moved the binoculars to Zhou Yu, observed him for a while, and then his pupils dilated slightly. "This guy...!"

Sun Zhongmou's neck tightened. "What's wrong with him?"

The student council president said in a deep voice, "He's even taller than me!"

"...No, how the hell did you figure that out?"

Clearing his throat, the student council president abruptly changed the subject. "I've looked into this person beforehand. He's the kid who used your name to scam people before, right? He hasn't awakened his spiritual energy yet. If he hasn't awakened it by the time of the opening exam, the school will probably give up on him completely, won't they?"

Is there any difference between students who haven't awakened yet and those who have been completely abandoned?

Sun Zhongmou didn't say those words aloud because he found it strange.

This guy hasn't awakened his spiritual energy? How is that possible?

If the spiritual energy is insufficient, the Returning to Truth Breathing Method cannot even complete one cycle.

However, when they first met, Zhou Yu was already proficient in using the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique, and had even advanced to level four.

How could a level four Returning to Truth Breathing Technique not have awakened spiritual energy?

"What's wrong?" The student council president glanced at Sun Zhongmou. "Are you concerned about his spiritual energy assessment results?"

Sun Zhongmou nodded slightly. "That's true to some extent."

The student council president nodded with satisfaction, "My child has finally grown up and is interested in the outside world. I, as his father, can finally put my burden down..."

"If you keep spouting this nonsense, I'll pull your pants down in front of all the second-year high school students."

The student council president shut his mouth.

Then...

Get started first!

He lunged at Sun Zhongmou's lower body, grabbed his pants, and yanked them hard!

It couldn't be moved.

"Damn it!" the student council president yelled, looking up. "You think you can freeze me in place just to prevent me from pulling down your pants?"

Sun Zhongmou remained silent.

He simply kicked him away.

"Zhou Yu?" Sun Zhongmou's gaze locked onto Zhou Yu, and he thought to himself, "A student who can cultivate the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique to the fourth level must have a spiritual energy level of at least 1.0, right?"

"Then let me see what kind of results you'll ultimately achieve."

The student council president, rubbing his aching back, walked back and said, "Alright, alright, it's time for us to go take the exam. Our spiritual energy assessment is over at the gymnasium."

"I'm not going," Sun Zhongmou said calmly. "Please tell the head of the teaching department that I want to stay here and observe Zhou Yu's exam process."

The student council president was stunned for a moment. "You're not going? Are you crazy? You don't care about being number one in the grade?"

"It doesn't matter," Sun Zhongmou stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of domineering arrogance. "Anyway, I only took one less exam, and my overall score is still higher than yours."

Student Council President: "..."

Noticing that the student council president, after getting up from the ground, didn't turn around and leave but instead stood beside him, Sun Zhongmou asked with a puzzled look, "Why aren't you going?"

"I'm not taking the exam either," the student council president said calmly. "To avoid some people saying I won unfairly if I got first place in the grade. Besides..."

"Even though I took one less exam, my overall score was still higher than the third-highest in the grade."

Sun Zhongmou: "..."
