Back in reality.
It was already around eleven on Saturday night.
"An entire day has passed already!"
Though a day had gone by without eating, Chu Feng didn't feel hungry. He walked to the mirror and activated his Ancient God Eyes!
His left eye emitted a divine glow, revealing that his skin had undergone some transformation.
"My skin tone seems to have changed."
Chu Feng was astonished. Under his super vision, he could see subtle changes occurring in his body. It seemed his strength had significantly increased!
Chu Feng felt that with a single punch, he could break through a wall.
"Right, the Ancient God Eyes have the ability to enhance my bloodline!"
"Even though there's no true essence like in the Martial World, my body has completely surpassed that of an ordinary person after the bloodline enhancement!"
"If I enhance it to the highest level, wouldn't I become a martial artist in the real world?"
His eyes lit up at this possibility!
Even though he had only evolved to the fifth tier, he was already a superhuman. If he reached the highest tier, he might indeed become a powerful martial artist in reality.
In front of him was a huge silver chest placed in the living room.
This was the cash Chu Feng had exchanged earlier.
He placed his hand on the chest and effortlessly lifted it!
With such strength, even if a truck were to crash into him, Chu Feng was confident he could block it with his bare hands.
Moreover, he could use the pupil techniques of his Ancient God Eyes. Even veteran super pupils might not be his match.
However, to be cautious, Chu Feng decided to deposit this massive amount of cash into his bank account in batches rather than all at once.
A poor high school student suddenly acquiring so much money overnight could easily be linked to his identity as Feng Shen.
By depositing the money gradually, others might simply assume he was a super pupil who had struck it rich.
Super pupils were now everywhere, and it wasn't rare for high school students to awaken their super pupils.
Chu Feng opened the cheap knockoff phone he had bought for a few dozen yuan and casually browsed the super pupil website. To his surprise, he discovered that his fame had skyrocketed!
Almost all super pupils were looking for information about him. Some were even offering high prices for it!
Of course, Chu Feng wasn't foolish enough to trade his personal information for a bit of money.
He glanced at the time, curious about the time flow in the Celestial Tower.
In the first layer of the Celestial Tower, he had spent over a month, but in reality, only a day had passed.
Using a search engine, he found some relevant information posted by a prominent figure.
"The time flow in the Celestial Tower is uncertain."
"When I was on the first layer, it took me two months to complete the task, and two days passed in reality."
"But when I was on the fourth layer, it took me ten years to complete the task, yet only an hour passed in reality."
"The higher the layer in the Celestial Tower, the slower the time flow."
"If we reach the highest layer, does that mean time in reality nearly stops?"
"If that's the case, then the highest layer of the Celestial Tower might mean immortality!"
When the word "immortality" appeared before his eyes, Chu Feng's heart skipped a beat.
This was the domain of gods!
If the time flow in the Celestial Tower slowed down with higher layers, achieving immortality seemed entirely possible!
For now, though, he wasn't even close to that stage, so he would hold off on thinking about it.
Chu Feng didn't immediately enter the second layer of the Celestial Tower. On Sunday, he spent some of the money, replacing his old, broken phone and buying various living necessities. He didn't spend recklessly but also didn't pinch pennies.
After taking care of everything, Chu Feng returned to school as usual on Monday.
"Hey, did you guys hear? On Saturday, the first super pupil to achieve an SSS rating appeared, with the codename Feng Shen!"
"That must be a super pupil from some major guild, right? Getting the highest rating on the first layer—so enviable!"
"Sigh, I couldn't resist trying the Celestial Tower this week, but I got blocked and killed by a guild. Compared to Feng Shen wiping out all enemy super pupils single-handedly, the difference is huge!"
"So impressive..."
"Even the great Jiang Xue wasn't that terrifying back in the day!"
"A new legend is rising!"
Classmates were buzzing with talk about Feng Shen.
It was inevitable. The first SSS rating in the Celestial Tower, and on the first layer no less, was bound to cause a stir.
This hype would likely last for a while.
After the class bell rang...
The homeroom teacher walked in and announced something special.
"Everyone, we plan to hold a special event this week: conquering the Celestial Tower."
"I know the situation of most of you here."
"If you don't team up, the danger and difficulty of the Celestial Tower double."
"So, the school is organizing this event, entering the Celestial Tower as a class to ensure you pass the first layer as much as possible."
"If you can't pass or fail twice, you'll have to sign an agreement to ensure you never enter the Celestial Tower again."
"Now, is there anyone who doesn't plan to participate?"
The teacher's words sparked discussions among the students.
The Celestial Tower wasn't a game. Failing three times meant permanently losing one's sight.
But many high school students couldn't resist the allure and took the risk of entering the Celestial Tower.
The school organized this event to guide rather than prohibit. Rather than letting students tackle the Celestial Tower alone, it was safer to go as a group.
And if they failed, it would make them realize they weren't cut out for it and prepare for the college entrance exam instead.
Of course, participation was voluntary.
Anyone not willing to participate could raise their hand.
Soon, a few students with influential backgrounds raised their hands to opt out.
Their families could arrange better teams or guilds for them, so there was no need to join the novices.
The class also included an autistic student who had failed twice and was too traumatized to ever attempt the Celestial Tower again.
A few students who hadn't awakened their super pupils also opted out.
In the midst of the busy senior year, they could enjoy a brief break.
At this moment, Chu Feng raised his hand as well.
"Xiao Feng, didn't you awaken your super pupil? Why aren't you joining us?" Lin Qingqing asked in confusion.
"Chu Feng, if you've awakened your super pupil, it's best to join us," the homeroom teacher frowned. He knew Chu Feng's background and doubted he could find a guild to help him.
If Chu Feng didn't join them, he needed a good reason.
Chu Feng shrugged, "I've already progressed to the second layer, so I can't join you."
As soon as he spoke, the entire class looked at him in astonishment.
