After marking the last test paper, the homeroom teacher took out his phone and looked at the time. Standing up, he stretched his back and said, “We still have ten minutes left before class…”

Then he shifted his attention to Chen Yu, and with a serious expression on his face, he looked the latter up and down and said, “Just realized, you seem to be in quite good spirits.”

Chen Yu replied blankly, “Not too bad.”

“Did you cultivate at home last night?”

“Yes.”

“Then I will check.”

With that said, the homeroom teacher went over to Chen Yu, reached out and placed his hand on Chen Yu's lower abdomen, and silently felt for a moment. Then, a little surprised, he asked, “Eh? How come you've gained so much internal strength?”

1

“Spent the whole night cultivating.”

“Bullshit! You think you're the Horse God of War?” His homeroom teacher withdrew his hand and with a frown said, “This amount of growth… you ate the Qi-Boosting Elixir?”

“Yes, I did.”

“No wonder… Well… what's your family background like?”

“Working-class.”

“Look at how much your family has done for you! Can you still bear to not cultivate properly?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

“Be a little more motivated. For your family's sake, you should try to make it into some college or educational institution!”

“Alright, alright, alright.”

“I'm not asking for you to be grateful, but at the very least, you have to be sensible. I'm sacrificing personal time to tutor you one-on-one. This is such a good opportunity. Why are you still not seizing it?!”

“Right, right, right.”

“So, now do you want to sleep on the floor? Or do you want to sleep on the bed?”

“On the bed.”

“… you're really such an impossible child to teach! Get lost! Go to class!”

…

After entering the class and taking his seat in the front row, Chen Yu looked around.

Much to his surprise, he realized that the students in class today weren't casting hostile looks at him.

Apparently, yesterday's “whitewash” effect had been brilliant…

“What a pity,” Chen Yu muttered under his breath.

The next moment, the homeroom teacher also walked into the classroom. He first glared at Chen Yu, then cleared his throat and said loudly to the 49 students in the class, “Good morning, everyone.”

1

“Good morning, teacher.” Forty-eight voices greeted him in unison.

“Please sit down.”

Forty-eight students in the classroom immediately sat down.

Then, the homeroom teacher looked at Chen Yu, who had remained completely motionless. Suppressing his anger, he said, “Come, on your feet.”

Chen Yu: “… Good morning, teacher.”

All the other students: “…” (speechless)

Homeroom teacher: “…” (speechless)

The homeroom teacher raised his hand that was holding the chalk but then lowered his arm. Taking a deep breath to soothe the fiery flames of his rage, he decided not to bother about Chen Yu. Instead, he looked at the other students and said, “Students, I have a piece of happy news to share with you all. Chen Yu, from our class…”

He paused slightly. Then, gesturing to Chen Yu with an open palm, such that all five of his fingers were pointing at Chen Yu, he said, “After a day and night of tireless cultivation, he has achieved a surge in internal strength! The results are highly satisfactory! You can touch and feel for yourself if you don't believe me.”

2

A male student seated in the back touched Chen Yu's abdomen with due suspicion. He felt the surging energy inside, and his face registered his surprise. “How did you accumulate such a great amount of energy”

Regaining his senses, Chen Yu slapped the other boy's hand away, saying, “Don't touch me! What are you doing?!”

But right after that, a girl also came over and touched Chen Yu's abdomen. “Oh my god! It's bigger than mine!” she gasped.

“Really? I don't believe you!”

“I'll go and touch it…”

“D*mn! It's really big!”

2

“Awesome! Fantastic.”

“Let me see-see…”

“Don't push me! It's my turn to touch…”

Chen Yu: “… d*mn it. Get lost, all of you!”

He waved his fists to block all the hands of the boys who were reaching over.

As for the girls' hands…

Sorry, he was quite helpless against pushing them away.

1

The thing was that these girls were touching him all over, high and low. Because of that, Chen Yu felt compelled to bend over.

1

“Revenge?” he thought.

“This must be the homeroom teacher's revenge on me.”

“Haha.”

Chen Yu sneered.

He, Chen Yu, was a man of indomitable spirit and was upstanding and dauntless, so how could he succumb to such sleazy trickery?

If they're capable of it, then let these girls go to him every day…

“Don't crowd together. Please make way.”

At this time, the class monitress walked up to the crowd and separated the group of female students who were gathered together in a messy crowd. Then, she reached out and pressed her hand against Chen Yu's abdomen.

After feeling the energy inside, she sized Chen Yu up and said, “I recall recording it last week, during the test. It's true that it's grown so much. Did you eat some kind of elixir?”

Chen Yu said, “Yes, I ate…”

The headroom teacher immediately interrupted and said, “He has suffered a good amount of hardships and has undergone tiring moments to achieve such an improvement.”

“But… but such an amount of growth is really ridiculous.” The monitress frowned.

“Is it very ridiculous?” The homeroom teacher straightened his back, and with a serious expression he said, “For an ascetic who has spent a full day and night on continuous cultivation, to the extent of forgetting about sleep, food, and water, is this kind of growth ridiculous?”

“OHOHOH…”

Hearing this, the students all looked at Chen Yu in awe.

Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)

After the chatter and discussions died down, the homeroom teacher went on with his encouragement, saying, “I often say that results never fail a person who works hard. The more you dare to fight for it, the greater your reward will be! Chen Yu has always been the weakest student with the worst performance in class. But he has worked hard and is now still able to catch up with you all!”

Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)

The homeroom teacher said, “What does this prove? It proves that no matter who you are, the potential within you is unlimited! You want something, you have to fight for it! So long as you dare to fight for it! So long as you are willing to fight for it! Your hard work and efforts will not be for naught!”

Every student in the audience was greatly motivated by the vigor and impact of these words.

Many pairs of eyes were shining brightly.

“There are still 32 days left until the college entrance exam. Don't let even a single minute or second go to waste! If you can't even win against your classmate, Chen Yu, then all the contempt you've shown him will be like a slap in your own faces!”

The looks on the students' faces turned increasingly serious.

“Are you all willing to slap yourselves?”

“No!” Forty-two voices shouted in unison.

“Louder! Can't hear you!”

“No!!” Forty-five voices shouted in unison.

“Louder! In No. 2 Middle School of Green City, when a teacher says he can't hear you, he means he can't hear anything!”

1

“No!!!” Forty-eight voices shouted in unison.

The students roared at the top of their lungs.

A group of teenagers was completely riled up by the forceful words of an adult.

Only Chen Yu stood quietly in his spot, feeling terrible through and through…

“Very good. All of you are in high spirits.”

With his hands behind his back, the homeroom teacher nodded in satisfaction and said, “Keep up this momentum! Until the day of the college entrance examination when you go into the ring!”

“Yes!!!” Forty-eight voices shouted in unison.

“Lastly…” The homeroom teacher dragged the last syllable and let his voice trail off as he looked at Chen Yu. Then he said, “I want to place emphasis on praising Chen Yu. He has played an exemplary role for our class in terms of hard work and effort. God rewards those who work hard, so keep up the good work and continue to work hard!”

“Clap-clap-clap-clap…”

The students all clapped in unison.

“Clap-clap-clap…”

[Got encouraged: Mental state -4; Confidence -2; Luck -1; Charisma -1]

“Clap-clap-clap-clap…”

[Got encouraged: Mental state -5; Confidence -3…]

Chen Yu propped his forehead with his hand and said, “That will do. You can all stop clapping already. Let's get on with our lesson…”

The homeroom teacher's eyes lit up. He led the class into another round of applause before saying, “No show of arrogance and no boasting of one's achievement. Humble and modest! Very good. You don't forget yourself just because of a little achievement and praise from others. Every single moment you are aware of who you are! This is something we all should learn! Very good, very good.”

“Clap-clap-clap!!” The applause in the class became all the more passionate.

[Got encouraged: Mental state -8; Confidence -4; Luck -2; Charisma -3…]

Chen Yu: “…” (speechless)

There was a sparkle in many of his female classmates' eyes as they applauded hard.

[Got encouraged: Mental state -7; Confidence -3; Luck -2; Charisma -2…]

“I have sinned…”
