"Okay, Dad got it."
Chen Gequn tried his best to calm himself down.
His son suddenly became the champion of martial arts in the province, which made him feel like it was all unreal.
He used to greatly admire Chen Ying from Chen Lie's uncle's family, but now it seems that his son's achievements have far surpassed Chen Ying's.
If Chen Ying is a martial arts genius, then the members of the provincial youth genius group are top geniuses, and her son is now the martial arts champion, making him an unparalleled top martial arts genius.
A short while later, Feng Yuelan came into the living room and, upon seeing Chen Gequn, immediately said, "Yaoyao, Chen Lie, your father is back. Let's head to the Starlight Hotel now."
"Okay, let's go now."
After Chen Xingyao agreed, the family of four left home together and took an airship to the Starlight Hotel.
Chen Gequn went to the hotel reception and booked a private room.
The family sat at the table, eating their meal.
"I saw in the news that the special admission notices from Blue Star University should be issued within a month. At that time, all those who were specially admitted to Blue Star University in advance, and who did not enter Blue Star University through the regular college entrance examination, will have to go to the northwest front line for military training to fight against the alien beasts head-on."
Chen Lie, has your province's genius team received any internal notification?
At the dinner table, Feng Yuelan asked.
Chen Lie shook his head: "No."
"The Blue Star Times has already published the news, but you haven't received any notification yet?" Feng Yuelan asked.
"With the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament just around the corner, the genius group certainly wouldn't have informed us of this beforehand."
"I don't know if there will be any dangers during military training. Beasts are terrifying; your dad has experienced it firsthand."
Even a low-level, first-tier alien beast couldn't be stopped by a group of second-tier martial artists at the Qi Refining Realm.
"Don't worry, Mom. How could anything go wrong with officially arranged military training?"
As Chen Lie spoke, he added, "Dad, Mom, before the martial arts competition, I took on a corporate endorsement deal and earned 200 million Star Dollars in endorsement fees."
I was thinking, I don't need these two hundred million star coins anyway, you can use them to improve your home environment, buy another airship or something.
"What? Two hundred million star coins?" Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan were shocked and immediately asked, "What kind of endorsement fee is that expensive?"
"Given Wu Kui Shou's reputation, a two-hundred-million-dollar endorsement fee for a pharmaceutical company's product is already considered cheap."
"So, Wu Kui Shou can make money like this. But, son, how can we take your money?"
You should keep it for yourself to buy martial arts resources.
Seeing their son earning 200 million Singapore dollars so easily, Chen Gequn and his wife felt as if their child had suddenly become successful and grown up.
Even if the two of them spent a hundred years, they wouldn't be able to accumulate that much star essence.
"Dad, the martial arts resources I need right now can't be bought with money. Besides, the resources I got from winning the Martial Arts Champion award will last me for a long time. I really don't need these two hundred million star coins."
"The provincial government introduced these corporate endorsements with the intention of improving the family circumstances of the members of the genius team, so you can keep them," Chen Lie said.
"Well... alright." Hearing his son's suggestion, Chen Gequn finally nodded: "Then we'll go take a look in a couple of days and buy another airship."
Feng Yuelan nodded: "Yaoyao, your brother has become the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province. Don't you think our family should hold a banquet and invite some relatives and friends to get together?"
Chen Xingyao immediately said, "Of course, when my brother joined the provincial youth genius group, a banquet should have been held. Weren't you and Dad afraid that your second aunt and the others would keep bothering you?"
Even if we don't hold a banquet, won't my second aunt still pester us?
"Alright, your dad and I will make the arrangements in the next few days."
As soon as Feng Yuelan finished speaking, Chen Lie said, "Mom, there's no need for that. Let's go straight to the point. After I win first place in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, we'll hold a banquet together."
"First place in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament? In all the previous Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournaments, hasn't it always been Yun Chuan who has won first place?"
Chen Lie stopped explaining and said directly, "Even if we can't take first place, taking the top three shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"Let's hold the banquet after I win the top three in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
"Okay then."
Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan didn't want to delay their son's martial arts training. After all, the Three Provinces Martial Arts Competition was imminent, and they certainly couldn't let their son be distracted from his martial arts practice because of the banquet.
As the champion of Dongchuan Province, it should be achievable for him to place in the top three of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
For a family like theirs, ranking in the top three of the three provincial martial arts competitions is an unparalleled honor.
The next morning, Chen Lie went to the training ground of the Genius Group.
In the training ground's lecture hall, many members of the genius team gathered together.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, the conversations among the many members of the genius group suddenly ceased.
Most of the genius team members looked normal, but a small number of them had strange expressions.
"Brother Chen Lie, you're here?"
When Wei Ranran saw Chen Lie, she immediately went up to him.
Chen Lie hummed in response: "What are you talking about?"
"We're all wondering if the incredibly powerful martial art you used on the fighting stage yesterday was actually a super S-class martial art."
"Yes."
"This is truly a super S-class martial art. It must be incredibly difficult to master, right?"
My dad told me that only the top three provinces on Earth have Super S-level martial arts. Did Brother Chen Lie learn his Super S-level martial arts in one of those provinces?
"No, it's extraterrestrial martial arts," Chen Lie said.
"Extraterrestrial martial arts—"
Wei Ranran was somewhat surprised.
At this moment, Luo Zhixun also came over: "Chen Lie, today the elder said that we should use the special resource search opportunity from the top three rewards to search for martial arts resources. Have you thought about the resources you need?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "I've thought it through. However, the resource I need is an extremely rare second-tier martial arts treasure. Is it possible to successfully search for such a resource?"
"It should be possible, right? The old man said that as long as it exists on Earth, the probability of finding it is over 80%," Luo Zhixun said.
Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.
At that moment, someone exclaimed, "So ancient!"
Upon hearing that Gutian had arrived, Chen Lie, Luo Zhixun, and Wei Ranran returned to their respective positions in the Genius Team.
Before long, Gu Tian arrived at the podium.
"Hello everyone, our last all-person martial arts competition before the Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament has been completed."
During the martial arts competition, a martial arts genius like Chen Lie emerged, making a stunning debut and reaching the pinnacle of the Qi and Blood stage. This made me very happy.
The Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament is just around the corner, and the rewards for the competition have already been distributed yesterday. I hope that all students can make good use of these resources to train hard, strengthen their abilities, and achieve a good ranking in the tournament.
Chen Lie, Wang Dongting, and Luo Zhixun, as the top three in the martial arts competition, have one opportunity to search for any resource. In a moment, you can submit the martial arts resources you need. The Martial Arts Association will determine the value of the resources based on their rarity. Once the points are paid, the Martial Arts Association will begin an expedited search, striving to find the resources you submitted as quickly as possible.
Chen Lie and the others nodded in response.
"Some of you may have also heard the news that the day after tomorrow is the meeting ceremony for the members of the genius group from the three provinces of Sichuan."
The so-called leader of the Three Provinces Genius Group was someone from the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters who brought Yun Chuan,
The members of the genius teams from the three provinces of Dongchuan and Xichuan gathered together to discuss the martial arts competition among the three provinces.
During the event, the Blue Star Martial Arts Association will emphasize the principle of "friendship first, martial arts second," which may make things difficult for the martial arts champions from each province, or directly allow the martial arts champions from each province and the top-level grandmaster seed members to have a trial exchange.
Therefore, the top five teams in our martial arts competition must be well prepared to face challenges from the other two provinces.
I have only one request: our Dongchuan Province must not lose face at this banquet.
"I now announce that Chen Lie will serve as the team leader of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group, leading all members of the Genius Group to Yunnan the day after tomorrow to participate in the gathering of the three provinces' genius groups."
Chen Lie remembers to set aside half an hour later to film a short video and poster with the top five students from the martial arts competition, for distribution and reporting by major official media outlets across the province.
Gu Tian looked at Chen Lie and the top five members of the martial arts competition.
The group responded in unison, "Yes!"
"Then spread out. The top three students in the martial arts competition, report the martial arts resources you need."
After Gu Tian finished speaking, he left behind a staff member carrying a mobile quantum computer.
Chen Lie found a piece of paper and a pen on the podium and wrote down what he needed: the second-tier martial arts treasure for refining tendons in the "Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones" cultivation technique.
Luo Zhixun, who was standing nearby, was also writing down the martial arts resources she needed.
He inadvertently saw the resources Chen Lie had applied to search for and couldn't help but exclaim, "Dragon Gold Crystal? A second-tier martial arts treasure for tempering muscles and bones?"
Chen Lie, have you started training your tendons yet?
"Not yet, I'm just preparing this."
"It's good to be prepared. However, I've heard of Dragon Gold Crystal. Such a rare martial arts treasure can indeed strengthen muscles and bones, but its power is too great. It shouldn't be suitable for people who are just starting to train their muscles, right?" Luo Zhixun asked.
Chen Lie's cultivation technique, the "Dragon Nirvana Body Technique," was incredibly powerful, so he could naturally withstand the Dragon Gold Crystal. He glanced at the resources Luo Zhixun was submitting for approval and said, "Blood Vine Lotus? A 1100-year-old spiritual herb to replenish your energy? You need to replenish your energy?"
Luo Zhixun nodded and said, "Yes, my current strength value is barely 4.2 times, and I feel there is still room for improvement, so I wanted this spiritual medicine to improve the purity of my blood and qi."
Chen Lie hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything more.
After finishing writing, Chen Lie went to the staff and reported the resources he needed.
After glancing at what Chen Lie handed over, the staff member immediately said, "What you need is Dragon Gold Crystal?"
Is it confirmed? Once I submit it, it can't be changed.
"Confirmed!" Chen Lie nodded.
"Okay, I'll use my computer to estimate the price."
As he spoke, the staff member used the mobile computer to start the valuation process, and soon the valuation result came out.
"The Dragon Gold Crystal you need isn't your average second-tier martial arts treasure; it's one of the rarest body-refining treasures on Blue Star. It's generally only usable by martial artists of the third tier or higher, so it's quite expensive. You'll need to pay 57..."
10,000 points.
"Okay!"
Chen Lie nodded, took out his points card, and made the payment.
With a "beep," 57 points were gone.
"Alright, the Martial Arts Association will contact you as soon as the search is successful."
The staff member said.
Chen Lie checked his current points balance.
I discovered that I still have more than 330 million points.
Chen Lie's original points card only had about 170 points. Yesterday's martial arts competition rewards and the monthly base points for the Genius Group have been distributed, giving Chen Lie an additional 2.2 million points in his points account.
As Chen Lie was leaving, the staff called him back and took him to shoot a short video and several posters with the top five finishers from the martial arts competition.
After filming the short film and poster, Wang Dongting, who was standing next to Chen Lie, came up to him.
"Chen Lie, I'm only here to tell you that you've only mastered a super S-level martial art. In terms of strength, I'm no weaker than you."
"Nonsense, isn't martial arts a part of strength?" Chen Lie retorted.
Wang Dongting snorted coldly, didn't answer, and turned to leave.
Wei Ranran, who was waiting nearby, said, "Brother Chen Lie, it seems that the previous martial arts champion isn't entirely convinced of your abilities."
"Of course he's not convinced," Chen Lie said.
Wang Dongting would definitely be able to tell that Chen Lie was weaker than him in terms of strength. The reason why Wang Dongting was defeated was because his combat experience and martial arts skills were inferior to Chen Lie's.
Wei Ranran didn't say anything about this, but instead asked, "Brother Chen Lie, have you finished shooting the short film and poster?"
I see you came alone. Where are you going? I can take you there.
"Let's go to a restaurant and have a meal first, then we'll talk about it."
"Okay, sure!"
That evening, major official media outlets in Dongchuan Province disseminated the news through various channels that Chen Lie had been selected as the team leader of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team.
[Chen Lie, the provincial martial arts champion and team leader of the Dongchuan Provincial Genius Team, will lead all members of the provincial youth genius team to attend the gathering of genius team members from three provinces.]
[Friendship first, martial arts competition second—the new tri-province martial arts tournament is about to begin—the martial arts champions of Sichuan (Gu Yang), Sichuan (Chen Lie), and Yunnan (Ji Lingxuan) have gathered to discuss preparations for the tournament.]
[The three rising stars of martial arts among the younger generation from Sichuan, Henan, and Sichuan provinces have emerged: Gu Yang, Chen Lie, and Ji Lingxuan!]
The number of comments under major official media outlets exceeded one million in just one hour, with people from the three central provinces of Sichuan each accounting for one-third.
"Wow, the three martial arts giants of Sichuan and its three provinces have already emerged this year?"
"Gu Yang, Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan?"
I'm from Yunchuan, shouldn't I be Liu Yiming, Wang Dongting, or Ji Lingxuan?
Why are the martial arts champions from Dongchuan and Xichuan provinces leaving the table so quickly, like a revolving banquet?
"That's normal. How can the martial arts of these two impoverished provinces compare to those of Yunchuan?"
Their so-called martial arts champions are just the tallest among the short; how can they be compared to our Yun Chuan?
To call them the three giants of Sichuan is really giving too much credit to the other two provinces.
