Chen Lie nodded: "Then I'll take my leave."
After saying that, Chen Lie walked straight out of the office.
As Chen Lie walked towards the restaurant, he received a message notification from his communicator, Green Bubble, in the Genius Training Camp's main group chat.
Head Instructor: "Given that Chen Lie, a trainee from the First Training Division, openly injured someone outside of a combat arena, causing a negative impact, the training camp has decided that..."
The distribution of points to him was suspended for three months, and a total of 60,000 points were confiscated.
We hope that other trainees will set an example, abide by the rules, and work together to maintain order in the training camp.
Trainee A (anonymous): I firmly support all the rules of the training camp. Those who break the rules should be severely punished.
Student B (anonymous): Isn't the punishment too lenient? They broke someone's leg, and it was a girl. Such a lawless madman should be expelled immediately.
Student C (anonymous): I agree to expel him!
The students who were watching responded to the announcement.
They were simply afraid of retaliation, so they all chose to remain anonymous in their replies.
After glancing at the messages in the group chat, Chen Lie exited, put the communicator in his pocket, and went to the restaurant for a meal.
Feng Shuangshuang, who was in the restaurant, also saw the announcement in the Genius Training Camp's main group immediately, and her heart jumped into her throat.
Chen Lie was penalized with 60,000 points?
Now that Feng Shuangshuang knows that Chen Lie is actually her cousin whom she hasn't spent much time with, she naturally knows about his family background.
Sixty thousand points, converted into Star Yuan, is 180 million Star Yuan, which is an astronomical figure.
She already owed Chen Lie more than 37,000 points, and now she has caused Chen Lie to lose another 60,000 points.
Even if she sold herself, she still couldn't pay off all these debts.
She knew the importance of points, as they meant martial arts resources. In the past two months, due to Liang Xinfeng's suppression, her points had been greatly reduced, and her 500-calorie Qi and Blood value had barely changed. If Chen Lie did not accumulate any points in the next three months, his progress in martial arts would definitely come to an abrupt halt.
His family asked him to take care of Chen Lie, but not only is he incapable, he's now just holding Chen Lie back.
Feng Shuangshuang was at a loss for what to do, and even more so, how to explain it to her aunt.
At this moment, Chen Lie also arrived at the training camp's canteen. After getting lunch from the canteen window, he looked around the canteen and then went to where Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan were in the training camp.
As soon as Chen Lie sat down with his tray, Lu Qingchan eagerly asked, "Chen Lie, how did it go? Did the instructor punish you?"
Chen Lie said, "The punishment notices were all posted in the training camp's main group chat. You'll see for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingchan immediately took out her communicator and glanced at it.
"You were only fined 60,000 points? Are there any other penalties?"
That's all, this is it.
Feng Shuangshuang, standing to the side, looked embarrassed: "Um—Chen Lie, I'm the one who dragged you down with this. Don't worry, from now on, I'll give you 15,000 points every month. Just keep a little bit to buy the most basic martial arts resources to maintain your health."
Chen Lie countered with a question: "Do you remember who I am?"
Feng Shuangshuang gave a barely audible "Mmm," then said, "You've changed so much! It's only been three or four years since we last met, right?"
"Probably three or four years, that's a good estimate," Chen Lie nodded.
"Thank you this time."
Feng Shuangshuang lowered her head and said in a voice barely above a whisper, "Could you—not tell my family about this?"
"Of course, I'm not a big mouth," Chen Lie replied readily.
If Feng Shuangshuang and Chen Lie had met by chance at the training camp, she wouldn't have cared about Chen Lie's strength or whether his health points were in the four digits.
They all asked Chen Lie to slowly call them "cousin".
But now, Chen Lie has seen her in her sorry state. First, she had no money to buy resources, but after Chen Lie ran into her, he paid a large sum of points for her. Now, Chen Lie has seen her being bullied, and he is standing up for her.
It's safe to say that she won't be able to put on any airs of being Chen Lie's older cousin in the future.
"I'm sorry that you were punished because of me, but it all started because of me. I will find a way to make up for the points I owe you and the points you were penalized for."
Chen Lie waved his hand at Feng Shuangshuang: "No need. The punishment announcement for me in the training camp's main group just now was just a formality."
Actually, the head instructor didn't confiscate a single point from me.
"Really?" Feng Shuang's eyes lit up. "But the announcement in the group chat—"
"That was just something the training camp did to convince others; it was something they put on a show for the other trainees."
The head instructor said that the training camp organization would not punish a genius student for the sake of a mediocre student.
"Although he officially fined me 60,000 points, he secretly compensated me with 60,000 points," Chen Lie explained.
"That's great!"
Feng Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief. If Chen Lie was really fined 60,000 points because of her, she would definitely have to compensate him. However, she was short of points, so she would have to give up her martial arts for half a year.
Giving up six months of martial arts training at this crucial juncture of the genius training camp would have extremely dire consequences, potentially preventing one from gaining admission to Blue Star University.
"I owe you 37,800 points, which I will gradually repay over the next three months," Feng Shuangshuang added.
"There's no need to return these points; consider it a gift from me," Chen Lie said, waving his hand dismissively.
"How can that be? That's nearly 40,000 points! Do you know how many Star Coins that's worth?" Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask.
Lu Qingchan suddenly said, "It's only 40,000 points, which is really nothing to Chen Lie."
Actually, Chen Lie is a spiritualist. I witnessed it firsthand. He helped a military general dispel evil energy, earning a million points in less than an hour.
"What? A mind master? Earning a million points in an hour?" Feng Shuangshuang was stunned.
Lu Qingchan nodded and said, "Yes, Chen Lie is a Divine Sense Master. I was watching him earn one million points."
Your 40,000 points are practically nothing to Chen Lie; they're just a tiny speck peeking out from under his fingernail. There's really no need to insist on returning them; they're practically irrelevant to him.
"Really? Really?"
Feng Shuangshuang looked at Chen Lie with a questioning gaze in her peach blossom-like eyes.
Chen Lie replied, "It's true."
Feng Shuangshuang felt only disbelief.
In her memory, Chen Lie three or four years ago was just a kid who was not quite grown up, and even a little immature.
But now he has become so dignified and composed, with a four-digit Qi and Blood value, a Divine Sense Master.
Feng Shuangshuang looked at Chen Lie, and four words involuntarily came to mind. She couldn't help but blurt out, "A complete transformation?"
After finishing their meal, Chen Lie, Feng Shuangshuang, and Lu Qingchan walked out of the restaurant together.
Outside the restaurant, Chen Lie said to Feng Shuangshuang, "If anyone bullies you again in the training camp, just come to me."
Feng Shuangshuang gave a barely audible "hmm".
In the genius training camp, she couldn't take care of Chen Lie anymore; now it's Chen Lie who's taking care of her instead.
But being a few months older than Chen Lie and being his cousin made her feel like she couldn't take off her long gown, making it impossible for her to accept his care without feeling at ease.
After saying this, Chen Lie bid farewell to Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan and went to the trading market.
Chen Lie spent an afternoon selecting two rare martial arts treasures at the training ground: one to enhance blood and qi, and the other to replenish strength.
The two rare martial arts treasures cost him 80,000 points.
He checked his points spending records. Last time, he spent 420,000 points in the trading arena to buy a series of resources, leaving him with 730,000 points in his account. He also won 100,000 points in a points bet with Zhao Jinghao on the battle stage. The 60,000 points that Ding Haiyan, the head instructor of the training camp, promised to compensate him had also arrived in his account. Now, Wen had spent 80,000 points.
After a series of purchases, Chen Lie still had 87 points remaining on his student card.
After selecting the rare treasures, it was already evening. Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Lie took the two martial arts treasures back to his dormitory.
Back in his dorm, Chen Lie turned on the TV and sat on the sofa watching news reports about strange beasts for a while.
At that moment, Chen Lie's communicator suddenly beeped.
He picked it up and saw that it was a message from the Green Bubble Genius Training Camp's main group, and it was a message specifically tagged him.
Ning Xingchen: I heard you rejected my offer. Come talk to me tomorrow. As soon as @Chen Lie Ning Xingchen's message appeared, the group chat exploded.
Everyone in the entire genius training camp knows that Ning Xingchen is the leader of the Star Alliance, the king among the hundreds of trainees in the camp, and his strength far surpasses that of the other trainees.
There are even rumors that Ning Xingchen is on par with the members of the province's youth genius team.
How could a top student in a talent training camp invite an unknown nobody to talk?
Ning Xingchen's arrogant and commanding tone annoyed Chen Lie, who retorted directly, "You want me to come talk to you? Who do you think you are?"
The students who were spying on the screen were stunned when they saw Chen Lie's message.
Who is this person? Why are they so reckless? Do they have a death wish?
At this moment, inside the council chamber of the luxurious dormitory building.
When Lu Qingying, who was next to Ning Xingchen, saw Chen Lie's message, she couldn't help but shout angrily, "This arrogant brat, Xingchen, why don't you teach him a lesson?"
This guy is so arrogant! You've given him chance after chance, but he just doesn't appreciate it.
Ning Xingchen simply shook his head and said, "It's normal. What genius isn't arrogant?"
If I had that kind of skill the moment I entered the training camp, I'd be even more arrogant than him.
Lu Qingying couldn't help but ask, "But can you tolerate him doing this?"
Ning Xingchen simply said, "You have to endure it even if you can't. I have to think about you. What will you do when I'm promoted to the provincial youth genius team?"
Lu Qingying pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being useless."
"It's not your fault, it's that this guy named Chen Lie is going too far beyond the rules."
Back when we first entered the genius training camp, the strongest among us only had 400 calories of Qi and Blood. But he, upon entering the training camp, was able to defeat Meng Qiming and Zhao Jinghao in succession, with at least 900 calories of Qi and Blood, close to four figures.
This level of skill is top-tier even in a talent training camp; it's not surprising that you can't do anything about him.
After Ning Xingchen finished speaking, he continued to send a message in the Genius Training Camp's main group: "You injured so many people from the Star Alliance, you have to give an explanation."
Since you don't accept the conditions I've offered, why don't we talk?
Chen Lie: "What's there to talk about? I want you to disband the Star Alliance, are you willing?"
Ning Xingchen: "Sure. As long as you're strong enough, there's nothing we can't discuss."
Chen Lie: "Where shall we talk?"
Ning Xingchen: "Come to the meeting hall in Dormitory Building No. 1."
Chen Lie: "I'll go there tomorrow at noon."
After sending this last message, Chen Lie simply tossed the communicator aside.
Just as I was about to exit Green Bubble, I saw a message from a friend.
"Shuangshuang has requested to add you as a friend."
[Agree] / [Disagree]
Upon seeing the profile picture, Chen Lie accepted the request without hesitation.
They quickly sent each other messages.
"Chen Lie, I am your cousin Feng Shuangshuang."
Chen Lie: "Yeah, I could tell from the profile picture."
Feng Shuangshuang: "I just saw your conversation with Ning Xingchen in the training camp's main group chat."
Ning Xingchen's strength is extraordinary; you absolutely cannot underestimate him.
If possible, it's best to avoid conflict with him.
Chen Lie: "I know what I'm doing."
Feng Shuangshuang: "I know you are strong now, but please don't take my reminder lightly."
Ning Xingchen had only been in the training camp for three months when he was able to challenge the senior students who were at the top level. Five months into the training camp, he was already number one among the hundreds of students. Many of the senior students from the previous year were suppressed and could not even lift their heads.
Ning Xingchen now definitely possesses the strength to be a member of the province's top youth talent team.
Chen Lie: "I understand."
Feng Shuangshuang: "Then—you should think carefully."
She has said everything she needed to say.
She didn't really fail her aunt's request, did she?
Giving your cousin a reminder at a crucial moment is also a kind of care in itself.
After replying to Feng Shuangshuang, Chen Lie exited Green Bubble and tossed the communicator aside.
After watching Blue Star News for a while, Chen Lie went to wash up and then went to his bedroom to rest.
The next morning, Chen Lie took the two martial arts treasures he had bought the day before to the medicinal bathhouse.
In the medicinal bath building, Chen Lie spent twenty points to request a superior personal cultivation room.
Upon entering the training room, Chen Lie locked the door and then opened the two martial arts treasures.
These two martial arts treasures, one replenishes strength and the other enhances blood and qi, can be combined to allow Chen Lie to increase his blood and qi without losing strength.
Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Lie directly swallowed the two rare martial arts treasures raw to appease the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie walked to the cultivation position, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his qi and blood according to the qi and blood circulation method in the "Dragon Nirvana Technique".
This was the first time Chen Lie had practiced the "Dragon Nirvana Technique" without soaking in a medicinal bath. Soon, he felt his skin burning.
His skin instantly rose to over fifty degrees Celsius and turned bright red.
At the same time, the cells in Chen Lie's body began to violently devour the energy brought by the two martial arts treasures.
The "Dragon Nirvana Technique" was truly domineering; in just over an hour, it completely devoured the energy of the two martial arts treasures.
Moved by this, Chen Lie immediately stopped practicing the "Dragon Nirvana Technique".
He sat cross-legged in his meditation position for more than half an hour before his flushed skin returned to its normal color and his body temperature returned from over fifty degrees to thirty-seven degrees.
"It seems that one cannot practice the 'Dragon Nirvana Technique' for a long time without soaking in a medicinal bath, otherwise the burden on the body would be too great."
Chen Lie stood up from his cultivation seat and went to the Qi and Blood Detector inside the cultivation room to check his Qi and Blood.
After the blue light swept across the screen, the blood and qi detector quickly began to broadcast the test results.
"Beep, test complete, blood energy level 472.81 calories."
Chen Lie stepped out of the blood and qi value detector and went to the strength detector.
He punched the target of the pneumatic testing instrument hard.
The pneumatic force detector instantly displayed the measured values.
"Strength value: 3446.95 jun".
Upon seeing the strength tester, Chen Lie smiled slightly.
"The two martial arts treasures allowed me to increase my Qi and Blood by 50 calories while maintaining my Qi and Blood value at 7.3 times."
Now, even in a simple contest of strength, I'm no less capable than a martial arts student with four-digit health points.
A force of over 3,400 jin is more than enough to match even the average martial arts student with a strength value exceeding four digits.
Unless one is a martial arts student with a strength value of more than 3.5 times or a blood value of more than 1,200 calories, they can suppress him in terms of strength.
After leaving the training room, Chen Lie went to the restaurant for a meal.
The training camp's canteen serves meals all day, because martial arts practitioners cannot adhere to the habit of eating at set times.
After having lunch at the restaurant, seeing that it was already noon, Chen Lie got up and went to the meeting room of dormitory building number one.
Outside the council chamber, the crowd was dense, but they were all walking at a distance and no one was watching closely.
Yesterday's conversation between Chen Lie and Ning Xingchen took place in the main group chat, and all the trainees in the training camp, including the instructors, saw it.
The trainees knew that something had happened here at noon today, so naturally some people gathered here to watch the excitement.
Out of fear of the Star Alliance and Ning Xingchen, the students who came to watch the spectacle dared not get too close and could only observe from a distance.
