Chapter 139 Arrogance
Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the bed and tried to cultivate the Star God Cultivation Method of the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter" to create the first Star God, "Jingmu Kuang". As soon as his spiritual power was activated, the Jing constellation of the Seven Mansions of Tiannan in Chen Lie's sea of consciousness began to change and rearrange.
A vast constellation slowly appeared, and at the same time, Chen Lie's mental energy began to be consumed at an incredible speed.
In just a short while, Chen Lie's mental energy was almost completely depleted.
He immediately stopped cultivating his mental power.
"No, if we don't have enough resources in the future, we can't rashly start cultivating as a Star God. The mental energy consumption is too great, and I can't afford it at the moment."
To successfully create the first Star God, one must have a sufficient number of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers, along with corresponding rare spiritual treasures.
Upon realizing this, Chen Lie immediately decided to give up on creating the Star God and instead lay down on the bed to sleep.
The next day, after waking up, Chen Lie washed his face, went out to the restaurant for breakfast, and then headed to Training Ground No. 3.
The No. 3 training ground was already packed with people, with hundreds of students from the genius training camp scattered throughout the training ground.
Training Ground No. 3 is the largest of all the training grounds in the camp, covering an area of approximately 4000 square meters.
Inside the training ground, there are ten temporary battle arenas that have been set up.
As soon as Chen Lie entered the training ground, many people around him turned their attention to him.
"Is this the ruthless man who injured two key members of the Star Alliance?"
"That's him, his name is Chen Lie. I saw him with my own eyes. Zhao Jinghao is strong enough, right? His Qi and Blood value is said to have exceeded 800 calories a month ago, and even that wasn't a match for him!"
"What a formidable figure! I wonder if he's planning to single-handedly wipe out the Star Alliance and restore peace and order to the ordinary trainees of our training camp?"
"Eliminate the Star Alliance? Impossible. Have you forgotten Ning Xingchen, the leader of the Star Alliance?"
His strength has already reached an unbelievable level; he is an insurmountable mountain in front of all the trainees in our training camp. If Chen Lie wants to wipe out the Star Alliance, he must first get past him, but it is simply impossible to get past him!
"You know what, it's actually possible. The strength of the Star Alliance leader has far surpassed the standards of the training camp."
I heard from people in the Star Alliance that his Qi and Blood value had long exceeded four digits, but he just didn't announce it to the outside world.
With this level of skill, he's more than qualified for a spot on the provincial-level youth genius team, so Ning Xingchen definitely won't be able to stay in the training camp for long.
"Once Ning Xingchen leaves, things might change."
The trainees whispered among themselves around Chen Lie.
After Chen Lie entered the training ground, he walked around the training ground and arrived at the ten battle platforms. It was already nine o'clock.
Just then, the announcement from the training ground came on.
"Hello everyone, I am instructor Wu Yunfei."
Today is the monthly points-grabbing battle.
Many new trainees have recently joined the training camp. These new trainees may not be familiar with the points system yet, so I'll reiterate it here.
"In the Points Raid, each student has two opportunities to initiate a Points Raid against others each month, and one right to refuse a Points Raid challenge from others."
The winner of the duel receives 2,000 points from the opponent.
Today's points-based battle involves all trainees in the training camp; each person must challenge someone at least once or be challenged by someone at least once.
"Here are the rules for today's points plunder battle. First, second-phase trainees are not allowed to challenge first-phase trainees."
Secondly, students whose Qi and Blood value reaches 600 calories and whose Strength value reaches 3.3 times the normal value can selectively participate in the monthly points plunder battle.
For students who have reached this level of skill, the training camp will respect your individual training methods and will not disturb your training for any reason.
However, you must participate in at least one points-grabbing battle every two months.
Third, if the challenger's Qi and Blood value is not allowed to exceed 100 Qi and Blood value of the challenged person, the challenge is invalid.
Fourth, in today's points-based battle, if a student with lower health points challenges a student with more than 30 more health points, that student is not allowed to refuse.
"The rules have been explained; the points-collecting battle officially begins!"
After a series of announcements, many students immediately gathered together, discussing how to avoid losing points.
Cleverly evade today's points-grabbing battle.
Before long, several hundred trainees formed teams in twos and threes, and people began to step onto the battle stage.
Chen Lie was watching from the battle stage when suddenly a short student approached him.
"Hey bro, are you also in the first cohort?"
Chen Lie glanced at the student and said, "Yes."
"What a coincidence, I'm with you too."
I'm from the Second Provincial Key High School, what about you?
"The first provincial key high school."
The student said, "That's such a coincidence. We're all on the same side, so I told you."
I heard from a former student that the Points Raid can avoid losing points. According to the Points Raid mechanism, we can be five people apart and take turns challenging each other. We take turns winning and losing, and no one gains an advantage over the other.
Once all five of us are on the battle stage and the conditions for the points plunder battle are met, one of us might lose 2,000 points. After the points plunder battle ends, the others will make up for the 2,000 points.
I've already found three people, so with you there will be four. We just need to find one more person.
"Is this even allowed? Would the instructors at the training camp permit it?" Chen Lie asked.
"These are the results I got from asking previous students in the first cohort. Everyone else does it this way, and it's all allowed. How about it? Do you want to join?"
To this, Chen Lie simply shook his head and refused, saying, "I will not participate."
Having received Chen Lie's reply, the man stopped wasting words and turned to leave, looking for someone else.
With Chen Lie's strength, there's no need for him to resort to such petty tricks.
Chen Lie walked along the battle arena, watching the battles on the ten arena, and only stopped when he reached the fence of the training ground.
Just as Chen Lie was looking for someone to challenge to complete the points mission, a girl with a cold expression suddenly appeared from a distance.
The previously dense crowd in the training ground instantly parted to create a wide open path.
The girl with the cold expression walked straight up to Chen Lie and stopped, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
"You're Chen Lie?"
"I am Chen Lie, who are you?"
Chen Lie looked at the girl with a cold expression, scrutinizing him.
"What are you pretending for? You've injured so many members of the Star Alliance, don't you know who I am?" the girl said coldly.
"Oh, so you're from the Star Alliance. Here to cause me trouble?"
Chen Lie and the girl exchanged a glance.
At that moment, three young men came up behind the girl.
Lu Qingchan also stepped out from the crowd and came to Chen Lie's side.
"Chen Lie, this is my cousin from the Lu family, Lu Qingying."
"Your cousin?"
Chen Lie took another look at the cold-faced girl opposite him; she did indeed resemble Lu Qingchan somewhat.
"My cousin is here today to make peace with you. Don't be hostile towards them anymore," Lu Qingchan whispered to Chen Lie.
"Making peace? How do you make peace?"
Lu Qingying shook her hand, and several Star Alliance members behind her immediately began to drive away the students surrounding her.
Soon after, all the students in the surrounding area were cleared away, and the area became empty.
Lu Qingying said in a cold voice, "Chen Lie? I know you and my cousin are good friends. She cares about you and doesn't want the Star Alliance to continue to be your adversary."
I don't want to put Qingchan in a difficult position. Let bygones be bygones. You just need to apologize to Meng Qiming and Zhao Jinghao, and I won't pursue the matter any further.
"Oh?" Chen Lie said expressionlessly, "You want me to apologize to two defeated opponents? Is this what you call peace talks? Then may I ask what I gained from this peace talks?"
Hearing Chen Lie's arrogant retort, Lu Qingying felt a surge of anger.
In her view, the fact that the Star Alliance was willing to make peace with Chen Lie and stop pursuing the matter was already a huge concession on her part. Chen Lie should have been grateful, but she actually sought benefits from him.
However, remembering Ning Xingchen's instructions, she still suppressed her anger and said, "I know you have excellent martial arts talent. You have this kind of strength as soon as you entered the genius training camp."
We will not treat you unfairly and will allow you to join the Star Alliance. Our Star Alliance leader will soon be promoted to the provincial youth genius group, and I will also be promoted to the provincial youth genius group in less than two months.
"At that time, the power to collect student points will be handed over to you from top to bottom of the Star Alliance. Is that enough of a benefit?"
Chen Lie chuckled indifferently, "Something I can have right now, and you want me to wait two months? What's the benefit of that?"
Lu Qingying's expression changed, and she said, "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, if you really want to make peace with me, then show me something tangible. I can't wait two months. If you're truly sincere, then let's do it now, so I can give you veteran students a dignified exit."
"You're arrogant!"
Lu Qingying glared angrily at Chen Lie.
She thought Chen Lie would be grateful if he knew her conditions, but she never expected him to be so greedy, wanting the power of the Star Alliance right now.
"Arrogant? I was merely stating my request."
Lu Qingying sneered: "Do you think our Star Alliance can't deal with you?"
I admit you are incredibly strong, but your strength is not even as good as one finger of our Star Alliance leader.
"You country bumpkin, do you even know what the uncrowned king of the hundreds of trainees in the genius training camp is?"
"What a load of nonsense. If your alliance leader is really that powerful, then let him come and test his skills against me," Chen Lie said impatiently.
"Very good, I have given you a chance, but you did not seize it."
You'll regret your arrogance today. Just wait, you'll have your day.
After Lu Qingying finished speaking, she snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Several members of the Star Alliance behind her gave Chen Lie a cold look before following her away.
After Lu Qingying and her group left, Lu Qingchan couldn't help but glare at Chen Lie reproachfully: "Chen Lie, my cousin came here this time to sincerely make peace with you, how could you have such an attitude?"
"What was my attitude?"
Chen Lie turned his head and glanced at Lu Qingchan.
"Don't you think you're being too aggressive? It doesn't sound like you want to make peace at all."
Chen Lie said, "If we can't make peace, the matter of charging all the trainees in the training camp two thousand points is already beneath us. How can this illegal organization formed by the Star Alliance trainees possibly continue to operate in an orderly manner?"
The training camp thrives on competition among students, ensuring the strong remain strong and the weak remain weak. It aims to constantly replace this illegal student organization with new members, only to rebuild it again in a vicious cycle. It's impossible for something inherently illegal and shady to achieve a peaceful transfer of power.
"Even so, you could have explained it nicely. There was no need to make things so tense," Lu Qingchan said.
"Why bother getting along so well with an opponent you'll be facing sooner or later?" Chen Lie retorted.
Lu Qingchan couldn't help but say, "I'm worried about you. The leader of the Star Alliance has already acquired the strength of all the members of the province's youth genius group."
You've made such a mess of things, what are you going to do then?
"Do whatever you have to do."
"You—" Lu Qingchan started to say something, but suddenly she asked sharply, "Just how high is your Qi and Blood value?"
Chen Lie grew a little impatient with her question, so he replied, "Four digits."
"Four figures? How come it's so high? Were you really hiding your talents all along?" Lu Qingchan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, I was hiding it."
"But—why? Why are you hiding it?"
"I have my reasons."
Lu Qingchan looked at Chen Lie with a complicated expression.
Upon learning that Chen Lie had a four-digit health value, she suddenly felt a sense of shame and inadequacy.
A four-digit Qi and Blood value, three to four times lower than his own.
In terms of martial arts cultivation, Chen Lie is more than qualified to be my senior.
Unlike her initial reaction upon learning that Chen Lie was a mind master, because she knew very little about mind techniques, this difference in martial arts gave her the most direct experience.
"Ning Xingchen, the leader of the Star Alliance, is evenly matched with members of the province's youth genius team. Even if your Qi and blood value is in the four digits, you still need to be careful," Lu Qingchan reminded her in an almost inaudible voice.
"I see."
Chen Lie spoke as she walked forward, while Lu Qingchan followed behind her.
"Have you met the requirements for both challenging and being challenged in the Points Plunder Battle?" Chen Lie glanced back at Lu Qingchan.
"Then why don't you find someone to come up to the duel stage? Do you want to challenge me?"
"If I challenge you, will you let me win the match?" Lu Qingchan asked Chen Lie.
Chen Lie nodded: "It's only about two thousand points, that's fine."
Lu Qingchan smiled and said, "Alright then, I'll challenge you. But you don't have to let me win. I want to know how big the gap is between me and someone with four-digit health points. Can you give me some pointers?"
"it is good."
Seeing that Chen Lie had agreed, Lu Qingchan immediately challenged Chen Lie in the points-based plundering battle mechanism and went up to the battle stage with Chen Lie.
At the start of the martial arts competition, Chen Lie remained unmoved, while Lu Qingchan immediately used her strongest martial arts technique.
Lu Qingchan's strongest martial art is a B-level martial art called "Flowing Cloud Palm," which she has mastered to the point of being able to use it with ease.
On the fighting stage, Chen Lie simply parried Lu Qingchan's palm strikes and pointed out her weaknesses, without initiating any attacks.
Even so, performing high-intensity martial arts for more than ten minutes in a row still left Lu Qingchan physically exhausted.
After the final palm strike, Lu Qingchan jumped off the fighting platform and conceded defeat.
"Wow—I never knew my martial arts technique had so many flaws."
Lu Qingchan gasped for breath, thinking to herself, "Is a four-digit Qi and Blood value really that scary?"
"You can spot my weakness the instant I make a move?"
Lu Qingchan thought that even her cousin, who was in the provincial youth genius group, couldn't possibly have such profound insights into martial arts.
Could it be because he is a spiritualist?
When Chen Lie jumped off the battle platform, he suddenly saw what was happening on a nearby battle platform.
It is a male student and a girl with a high ponytail facing off on the battle stage.
The male student raised his leg and delivered a flying kick. Qiangwa's force broke through the air, and the girl with the high ponytail used her arms to protect her body, struggling to block it.
At that moment, the male student unleashed a sweeping kick, and the girl with the high ponytail couldn't dodge in time, falling onto the combat platform.
After a long while, she stood up from the ground and walked off the battle stage without saying a word.
A girl below the stage scolded, "Feng Shuangshuang, you're so stubborn. It's your good fortune that Senior Liang was able to date you."
"You've been losing points in the points-grabbing battle for two consecutive months. Why can't you figure that out?"
"That's right, who is Senior Liang? He's one of the top ten strongest students in the entire genius training camp."
If you're willing to become Senior Liang's girlfriend, he only needs to give you a heads-up, and even the Star Alliance won't charge you the monthly points.
I really don't know what you're thinking.
Feng Shuangshuang, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
He thought to himself: You have another month, and if you hold on for another month, then that student surnamed Liang's term in the training camp will be up, and he will have to leave the training camp.
By then, she will be completely liberated, free to roam the world.
After Feng Shuangshuang silently stepped off the battle stage, she was about to leave when a student suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
"Shuangshuang, what's your decision? Would you like to be my girlfriend?"
Feng Shuangshuang gave him a cold look: "Liang Xinfeng, just give up on that idea."
The male student sighed, "Shuangshuang, I remember that your Qi and Blood value broke through 500 calories two months ago, right? But it's still only 500 calories now."
For two consecutive months, you've only received 10,000 points each month. The feeling of lacking resources isn't pleasant, is it? You're on the platform...
What's the point if you can't even improve your Qi and Blood levels?
Feng Shuangshuang just stared coldly at Liang Xinfeng, remaining silent.
"Shuangshuang, I'm giving you one last chance. Be a good girl and I'll make sure you have plenty of martial arts resources."
If you still refuse me, hehe, in this training camp, I'll give you face to everyone who applies for a job. I can easily arrange for people to take turns launching a points-grabbing war against you, so you won't even have 10,000 points left. By then, it will be too late for you to regret it.
After Liang Xinfeng finished speaking, the female student next to him advised, "Shuangshuang, you should agree quickly. Senior Liang is such a good person."
Not only is he incredibly skilled, but he's also handsome. If it were me, I'd be laughing in my sleep.
"Yeah, I don't know what you're thinking. Senior Liang's blood energy value has exceeded 800 calories. Everyone in the entire genius training camp knows that. If you become Senior Liang's girlfriend, even the Star Alliance won't dare to let you pay points in the future."
