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

When Gao Ying returned, Liang Yanbo noticed that she had brought back a wooden board and an oil-based pen.

There were ropes tied to the side of the wooden board, but I don't know what they were for.

"Perfect," Zhou Yu gave Gao Ying a thumbs up. "I knew you would be the one to handle this."

Gao Ying also gave a thumbs up.

"Since you've worked so hard, I'll reward you by letting you be placed ahead of me in the assessment."

Gao Ying and Liang Yanbo both had the same question in their minds at the same time: "What kind of reward is this?"

Zhou Yu sneered.

"I'm afraid that after I finish the exam, you'll be too embarrassed to continue taking the exam."

The two: "..."

……

The assessment team continued to move forward in an orderly manner.

The students who emerged from the testing machine were either happy or sad. Some were happy because they had successfully awakened their spiritual energy, some were happy because their spiritual energy had increased significantly, and some were disappointed because their increase was not significant.

However, none of this affected Zhou Yu at this moment.

"It's my turn."

Liang Yanbo, who was ahead of Zhou Yu and Gao Ying in line, felt a pang of sadness. He took a few steps forward and entered the testing machine.

Gao Ying clenched her fist and said to Liang Yanbo, "Go for it!"

A relieved smile flashed across Liang Yanbo's face.

Gao Ying: "I just made a bet with Brother Yu. If you have more spiritual energy than me, then I'll have to lose a thousand yuan to him!"

Liang Yanbo: "...Then why are you cheering me on?"

Gao Ying: I didn't cheer you on. I cheered on the teachers in charge of the assessment, hoping they would calculate less "spiritual energy" for you.

Liang Yanbo: "..."

The teacher in charge of the spiritual energy assessment: "..."

Clearing his throat, the examiner said, "Alright, students, once you're ready, begin breathing in your spiritual energy."

"Okay." Liang Yanbo nodded seriously and then began to breathe in and exhale the spiritual energy within his body.

Drop drop-

The testing machine emitted a crisp beep, and the examiner stared at the instrument's screen.

Soon, a string of numbers appeared.

0.01, 0.05, 0.21...

The number is rising rapidly and will soon break through the 0.5 mark, indicating that he has awakened his spiritual energy.

However, Liang Yanbo had already awakened his spiritual energy before Gao Ying, so naturally he wouldn't have any emotional reaction to these numerical values.

The real show begins now.

0.52, 0.65, 0.76...

The value is still rising and has quickly surpassed 1.0.

"Hmm," the teacher in charge of the assessment nodded, glancing at the time of spiritual awakening in Liang Yanbo's student file, "not bad, and it's still increasing."

Finally, the rate of increase in the numbers on the instrument began to slow down and stopped at 1.92.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Zhou Yu's classmates exclaimed in surprise. "He already has 1.9 spiritual energy points? At this rate of increase, he'll probably break through to 2.0 soon!"

"Awesome! His spiritual energy assessment score is definitely going to be good this time, and his total score will probably go up again. I'm so envious..."

Upon seeing this, Gao Ying's expression changed drastically. "So high? Oh no, I'm going to lose money!"

Liang Yanbo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his final result; at least the increase in spiritual energy was within his expectations.

After stepping off the equipment, Liang Yanbo gestured for them to proceed, "Alright, it's your turn."

With a pained expression, Gao Ying walked to the machine and said to the examiner, "Could you calculate more for me?"

The examiner said, "Do you think you're ordering food at a restaurant? Are you expecting me to add two extra slices of beef?"

Gao Ying suddenly said seriously, "I don't eat beef."

Zhou Yu: "If you keep using that lame joke, I'm kicking you out. Hurry up! I'm still waiting to show off!"

Everyone: "..."

"Waaah..." Gao Ying sobbed as she began to breathe in spiritual energy, and the same numbers appeared on the screen again.

However, this time, Gao Ying's score broke through 0.5 faster than Liang Yanbo's.

Liang Yanbo's eyelids twitched, and he had a vague, bad feeling in his heart.

Gao Ying's spiritual energy value quickly exceeded 1.0, and there was still no sign of it decreasing.

1.10, 1.32, 1.47...

"Impressive," the examiner said, picking up Gao Ying's file and glancing at it. Only a little over a week had passed since her spiritual awakening. "In just one week, she's already raised her spiritual energy to this level? Such incredible talent!"

This kind of talent for cultivation is probably at the level of a top-tier high school. How could she appear in a place like No. 2 High School?

Although the increase was alarming, Gao Ying's spiritual energy value eventually stopped at 1.59. After all, she had only awakened her spiritual energy for a week, and it was already quite remarkable that she could reach such a level.

If nurtured by a top-tier high school, he might very well surpass Liang Yanbo's level in a short period of time and approach Liu Bei's spiritual energy value of 2.11!

"Oh dear..." Gao Ying scratched her head and said with a wry smile, "I guess I just haven't tried hard enough..."

The examiner shook his head. "No, it's all because of the bad overall environment."

Gao Ying: "..."

Zhou Yu: "..."

Are you really a teacher at No. 2 Middle School?

Jumping off the testing equipment, Gao Ying reluctantly transferred 1,000 yuan to Zhou Yu on the spot. Then she kicked Liang Yanbo, yelling, "Why didn't you go easy on me! I lost 1,000 yuan for nothing!"

Liang Yanbo was still reeling from Gao Ying's spiritual talent when he was kicked in the butt, finally snapping out of it. "You... what did you get?"

"1.59, didn't you see that? It's a huge difference from your 1.92," Gao Ying said, crossing her arms and shaking her head helplessly. "Sigh, I still need to work harder in the spiritual energy class. If I can improve my level of the Returning to Truth Breathing Technique, I should be able to catch up with you."

"That old woman may have been a bit fierce, but she was definitely a good teacher. It's the environment that ruined me!"

Liang Yanbo's expression was rather unpleasant.

With Gao Ying's current rate of increase, she could indeed surpass him at any time.

I must also work hard!

Among students who have awakened their spiritual energy, only those with good grades have a voice, while those with poor grades are simply labeled as "low-scoring dogs"!

"Oh! It's Yu-ge's turn." Gao Ying looked at the testing instrument and saw that Zhou Yu was already standing on it.

"Go for it, Yu-ge!" Gao Ying waved to Zhou Yu. "I made a bet with Liu Bei. If you awaken your spiritual energy today, he'll treat you to lunch!"

Zhou Yu didn't say anything, but just gave a thumbs up.

The examiner glanced at Zhou Yu's file. "Haven't awakened your spiritual energy yet? You'd better work harder today, otherwise the later you awaken your spiritual energy, the harder it will be."

"Okay." Zhou Yu nodded. "May I begin?"

"Let's begin."
