"Wait, look!"
At that moment, the male student holding binoculars suddenly shouted.
Everyone immediately followed his gaze.
They discovered that Su Cheng was now surrounded by people, both male and female, who were eagerly offering him water and greetings, showing great concern for him.
"I heard rumors that Ji Qingyi is personally teaching Su Cheng now, right?"
"It's not a rumor, it's true."
"But this is just Ji Qingyi doing the president a favor."
The Vice President spoke up again.
The previous signature and stamp were clearly Ji Qingyi giving face to the president, which is why she agreed to teach personally.
(PS: However, in reality, that application form had been forgotten by the forgetful secretary of the Archery Club, and Ji Qingyi had never seen it.)
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"
"I'm just analyzing rationally, after all, this is a serious matter that requires careful consideration."
"Hmph."
Although dissatisfied, she had to admit that the Vice President's words made sense.
"Look, it's President Ji!"
Just then, a sharp-eyed student council member spotted a cold-faced girl in a secluded pavilion, emanating an intense chill.
She was brewing tea, her movements fluid, her fingers moving as delicately as if playing piano. As the tea water drifted upward, even this simple act of brewing tea carried an overwhelming presence.
"Right, today is their class's PE period."
"Don't keep staring at her!"
Just as the Vice President finished warning them, the girl in the pavilion seemed to sense something and slowly raised her head to look at them.
In that instant, everyone present felt a suffocating pressure.
It was as if all the air in the space had frozen.
They even found it difficult to breathe, feeling like they might suffocate at any moment.
Fortunately, the next second, the girl in the pavilion withdrew her gaze, as if nothing had happened.
But they felt a lingering fear, each wiping sweat from their foreheads.
"Perhaps only the president could share tea with her," the Short-haired Girl thought to herself as she looked away.
She knew Ji Qingyi's background well - the school's director was her relative, so this academy was in the palm of the Ji family's hand. Whether it was the police, courts, or politics, the Ji family's power was everywhere.
However, it was fortunate that Ji Qingyi preferred solitude and had never participated in any public activities, showing no interest in anything. Otherwise, this school would have been in chaos long ago.
"Huh, why is Su Cheng going to the pavilion?"
While the Short-haired Girl was lost in thought, the boy who had been holding the binoculars suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
What followed was a scene they would never forget.
They watched as Su Cheng casually walked into the pavilion and sat down with Ji Qingyi.
Most surprisingly, Ji Qingyi personally poured tea for Su Cheng.
Then the two chatted pleasantly, in perfect harmony.
The Short-haired Girl was dumbfounded, her face full of confusion.
The Vice President and others nearby widened their eyes, their mouths slightly open, faces full of disbelief.
How was this possible?!
Even if it was about giving face, this was too much favor for Su Cheng!
To personally pour tea!
Even the principal hadn't received such treatment!
"What's going on?"
The Short-haired Girl was bewildered.
"Well..."
The Vice President hesitated before speaking, finally letting out a bitter laugh and said self-mockingly, "I underestimated this Su Cheng. I never expected him to gain President Ji's favor! I really did underestimate him!"
"Looking at the current situation, he really has earned President Ji's recognition."
"What's the next evaluation?"
The Short-haired Girl, seeing that Su Cheng's connections were now impeccable, asked immediately.
"Morality (moral cultivation), Intelligence (wisdom and ability), and Beauty (noble character) - three aspects."
The Vice President spoke slowly.
"If he passes all of them, does that mean..."
"Yes, in the second half of the year, the entire academy will be engulfed in a storm centered around Su Cheng."
The Short-haired Girl felt a mix of anticipation and anxiety rising in her heart.
...........................
Ten minutes earlier
After saying goodbye to his classmates, Su Cheng came to the academy's lakeside. He sat by the shore, enjoying the cool evening breeze and savoring a rare moment of tranquility.
The B-level reward at noon was a physical attribute point.
This point, when added to his body, didn't cause any visible changes.
But Su Cheng clearly felt an earth-shattering transformation in his body.
Not only did all his physical qualities improve, but he could feel that his bones, muscles, tendons, and even the cells in his blood seemed to become harder and more abundant in an instant.
There was also an indescribable sense of pleasure and comfort.
It felt as if every inch of his skin could unleash enormous potential.
He even had the illusion that he could knock down a bull with one punch or take down a tiger with one sliding tackle.
Don't be fooled by his current physical strength of only 6 points.
5 points was normal human level, and now he had exceeded normal human limits.
When running earlier, he had to hold back, afraid that if he couldn't control his strength, speed, and explosive power properly, it would be embarrassing.
After all, this physical enhancement was added instantly, with no time for adaptation, so while running, he had to restrain himself, trying to appear less capable.
"Let me test my reaction time, speed, and strength first."
Su Cheng looked around, and after making sure no one was there, he stood up and started moving his body.
He immediately threw a full-force left jab, creating a sharp 'pat' sound in the air, like hitting a glass window, demonstrating the tremendous power behind it.
Then he suddenly executed a right roundhouse kick, quick as lightning, in one fluid motion.
Following that, a left front kick, and finally a series of five consecutive techniques: block, neutralize, and counter-attack, all executed perfectly with precise control!
"Whew~ this one point of physical enhancement is incredibly powerful."
Su Cheng couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath, surprise showing on his face. He had never imagined his body could become so formidable.
If that punch had hit an ordinary person, they would definitely have been incapacitated!
"Are you dancing?"
Suddenly, a cool and elegant voice reached Su Cheng's ears.
his freshman year, Su Bai accidentally bound the "Indulgence Tycoon System." 【Sleeping in? Reward: +$1,000】 【Spent $288 at a street barbecue stall? Cashback: +$2,880】 【Dropped $14,396 on in-game skins? Special reward unlocked: A brand-new Porsche Panamera!】 Luxury cars, penthouses, corporate shares, financial empires… College life was all about living freely and doing whatever he pleased! … When the adorably naive academic genius faced family medical bills and financial struggles, Su Bai waved his hand dismissively: "Your future is on me." "Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success? Not just that—Su Bai also became the tsundere campus belle’s unattainable dream, the contrast senior’s daily necessity, and the beautiful counselor’s emotional anchor…
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh. Once they’ve all died, even the Heavenly Dao will have to kneel and call me Dad.”
