Chapter 256 Can you manage to take care of them all?
"One million star coins, that's really generous!"
There's less than a month until the college entrance exam. If my son's injuries continue to heal for two months, he'll miss the exam and won't be able to get into a regular martial arts university.
"To hell with a million star dollars! Can a million star dollars buy back my son's future?"
Chang Guirong was furious: "We don't want a million star dollars, we want the murderer brought to justice."
"Mr. Chen Ye, please don't get agitated. In the Martial Arts Era, as long as no one is killed in a battle, according to the laws of Blue Star, the punishment will not be severe."
Moreover, the other party is a student from the genius training camp. Even if they go to the Dongchuan Court, the official ruling will likely favor the one with better martial arts performance, and there is a high probability that they will be fined a few hundred thousand star coins and then released without charge.
If you really want to argue about it, it's not worth it.
Chang Guirong shouted loudly, "How can someone who takes a life be released without charge? Do you think I don't understand the laws of Earth?"
Those who intend to kill others face at least two years in prison.
The instructor replied, "That's true, but the other party is a student in the genius training camp, a martial arts genius from Dongchuan Province who enjoys preferential treatment."
Moreover, Liu Yang's father is a member of the provincial council of Dongchuan Province.
Parents of Chen Ye, listen to my advice: if you really hold on to this, you're likely to be the ones who suffer.
It would be better to accept the situation and negotiate a settlement.
They said that if one million star coins isn't enough, we can ask for any other compensation we want.
But if you persist in this, he will ensure that you don't gain anything at all.
Director Wang just came to say hello, mentioning that this student from the talent training camp named Liu Yang comes from an exceptionally wealthy family and has some connections with the provincial governor. He advised you to quit while you're ahead.
Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong's face contorted instantly, and she surrounded Chen Ye, bursting into tears.
"My son, why is your life so miserable?"
Not only did I encounter a group of heartless and ungrateful relatives who refused to help me in my time of need, but now I'm being bullied like this by the powerful and wealthy. I can't take the college entrance exam, and my future is ruined.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned home, told his parents about the military training, and gave them a Notice of Dangers to sign.
Feng Yuelan read the danger notice over and over again before asking, "Chen Lie, this notice says the casualty rate during military training is actually 3.8 percent."
On average, four out of every hundred people could be injured or killed during military training?
"Mom, those are just regular special admissions students. Someone as strong as me wouldn't be in any danger," Chen Lie said.
"You still have to be careful. Fighting against alien beasts is a minor matter. Your father was a peak fourth-level martial artist before, but even when dealing with a second-level alien beast, he has to be extremely cautious."
-
"If we're not careful, we might get hurt by the beast," Feng Yuelan said.
Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
He has mastered the Dragon Tendon and Flood Dragon Bone technique, which theoretically gives him a trace of the power of a giant star beast. If he were to unleash his aura, even low-level alien beasts would avoid him.
If he doesn't provoke the beasts, they probably won't attack him.
"I saw the news from Dongchuan. You're leaving for the Northwest front on June 5th. Is there anything your father and I need to prepare?"
"No need, it's just military training, all you need to do is go."
Feng Yuelan asked some questions about military training, and Chen Lie answered them all.
Just then, a knocking sound rang out on the door.
Chen Gequn stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
As he spoke, he went and opened the door.
Upon arriving at the door and opening it, Chen Gequn exclaimed in surprise upon seeing who it was: "Qidong, what brings you here?"
Outside Chen Lie's house stood Lu Qidong and his family of three.
"I came to ask you for help today, Brother Chen, because I need something from you." Lu Qidong said.
"What do you need my help with? Please come inside."
Chen Gequn quickly ushered Lu Qidong and his family inside and led them to the living room.
Lu Qingchan, who was accompanying them, came to the living room with her parents and saw Chen Lie. Her eyes flickered for a moment.
She felt like she had a thousand words in her heart, but she simply nodded and said, "Hello, Chen Lie."
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Hello."
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lie is here too? Why didn't you go to martial arts practice today?"
Feng Yuelan said with a smile, "We're going to the Northwest for military training soon, so we can't practice martial arts every day."
"My nephew, who is a genius and a potential grandmaster, practices martial arts every day, averaging 12 hours a day."
He himself said that if he didn't work hard, he would definitely fall behind in the competition for the genius group.
Chen Lie, on the other hand, is exceptionally talented; he doesn't need to practice martial arts diligently to become the best in Sichuan.
"That's not quite right. Practicing martial arts with a balance of tension and relaxation is more beneficial than practicing with a constant tension and anxiety."
Xu Yunyan smiled and nodded.
Chen Gequn then asked, "Qidong, you just said you asked me for help. How can I help you?"
Lu Qidong quickly said, "Brother Chen, aren't we about to go to the Northwest for military training?"
Qingchan took out a danger notice from the Martial Arts Association. When Yunyan and I took a look, wow, the casualty rate of military training was as high as four percent.
Qingchan's martial arts skills aren't that strong, and she's never seen a terrifying beast before. We were really worried. We thought that since Chen Lie is so skilled in martial arts, if he could take care of Qingchan during the military training, she would definitely be able to get through this training safely.
"We've come here to ask Chen Lie to look after Qing Chan."
"I remember Qingchan isn't very old, is she? Is she also going to Blue Star University?" Feng Yuelan asked.
Lu Qingchan hummed in agreement and said, "Aunt Feng, I don't want to be confined to one province any longer and waste another year going to Blue Star University."
"If Qingchan meets the age requirements, she can continue to study at Blue Star University next year."
"If that's the case, there's a high chance she'll be selected for the provincial youth genius team. But we tried to dissuade her, but she won't listen and insists on going to Blue Star University this year," Lu Qidong said, shaking his head.
"Shouldn't Qingchan's cousins from the Lu family also be members of the genius group? Didn't you have them take care of Qingchan?" Chen Gequn asked.
"Of course I mentioned it, but Chen Lie is the best in Sanchuan. With his help, we can be completely at ease."
Furthermore, Chen Lie was appointed as the team leader of the military training group by the Martial Arts Association, and he has the authority to mobilize all the specially recruited students participating in the military training.
With just a word from him, he could save Qingchan from danger and prevent her from directly confronting the strange beast.
As Lu Qidong spoke, he looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, remember to look after Qingchan during the military training."
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I will."
"I knew you'd agree."
"You used to be so attached to Qingchan, why haven't I seen you contacting her in the last few months? Have you been busy practicing martial arts?" Lu Qidong asked.
Chen Lie said, "There really isn't enough time."
"There's no rush to practice martial arts. Once you get to Blue Star University, spend more time with Qingchan. I've always thought you and Qingchan were a good match and wanted to set you up. Now that your martial arts have improved so much, you look even more compatible!"
Hearing her father say this, Lu Qingchan couldn't help but exclaim, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Dad means it!"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Lu Qingchan stomped her foot, looking both embarrassed and angry.
At the same time, she secretly glanced at Chen Lie, only to find that he was just standing there with a normal expression, without any reaction, and she felt a sense of disappointment.
He seems to have no sense of self at all now, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.
But what exactly happened? He wasn't like this just a few months ago.
Lu Qingchan's thoughts were in turmoil as she kept trying to recall if she had done anything to displease Chen Lie.
Feng Yuelan was also very puzzled. She knew that her son used to be extremely fond of Lu Qingchan, so why had he become so indifferent after only a few months?
Just then, the knocking sounded again.
Chen Gequn stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"
As he spoke, Chen Gequn went behind the door and opened it.
"Uncle, hello."
A girl with a high ponytail waves from the doorway.
"Oh, Shuangshuang's here? Please come in and have a seat."
The people knocking on the door this time were Feng Shuangshuang and her mother, Yang Huixian.
Feng Shuangshuang walked in and was somewhat surprised to see other guests in the living room.
She greeted them, "Auntie, cousin!"
After calling out "Shuangshuang", Feng Yuelan looked at Yang Huixian behind Feng Shuangshuang.
"Your sister-in-law is here too?"
Yang Huixian said, "Yes, I had something I wanted to ask Chen Lie for a favor, but I didn't expect you to have other guests. It's a bit unfortunate that you came at this time."
"What are you saying? Sister-in-law, please feel free to tell me what's wrong."
Yang Huixian then said, "It's nothing serious."
So, were they both specially recruited by Blue Star University to go to the front lines for military training?
She brought me a danger notice today.
When I looked at the notice, it said that 340 people from Dongchuan Province participated in military training last year, and 13 of them were injured or killed.
Shuangshuang's martial arts skills are only considered above average in the genius training camp, and I'm really worried that she might encounter danger during military training.
Thinking that Chen Lie was quite strong in martial arts, if he could take care of Shuangshuang on the military training field, wouldn't that ensure their safety?
'
Yang Huixian looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, you'd better take good care of Shuangshuang on the training field."
When you come back from Blue Star University, your aunt will cook you a delicious meal.
"I know!" Chen Lie nodded.
Feng Shuangshuang felt a little embarrassed. As an elder, she felt she had to rely on her cousin for care, which was truly a failure.
But there was nothing they could do; Chen Lie was just that skilled in martial arts.
The champion of martial arts from three provinces is the strongest young person among the three provinces in Sichuan.
At that moment, there was another knock on the door.
Chen Gequn wondered, why are there so many customers today?
"I'll go check again!"
As he spoke, Chen Gequn went to the door again and opened it.
"Gequn, I've come to visit you."
Wei Hongye was seen standing there, carrying gifts in his hands.
Wei Ranran, who was standing next to him, also greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Chen!"
"Okay, okay!" Chen Gequn nodded repeatedly and asked, "Brother Wei, what brings you here?"
"Hehe, I just wanted to ask you for a favor, didn't I?"
"Please come in!"
Chen Gequn quickly urged Wei Hongye's parents to do so as much as possible.
As soon as Wei Hongye entered, he exclaimed in surprise, "Why are there so many people?"
He quickly placed the gift in the corner of the living room.
"Brother Wei, what brings you here this time?" Chen Gequn asked.
"Hehe, didn't Ranran receive a special admission notice from Blue Star University?"
Actually, given her age, repeating a year is perfectly fine for her, and she could enjoy the province's resources for another year. However, she insists on entering Blue Star University this year, and I can't persuade her otherwise.
"Isn't she about to go to military training? I'm worried she might encounter danger, so I wanted to ask Chen Lie to look after her on the training field."
"Ranran isn't a member of the genius group, is she? Does she need to be taken care of too?"
"Ranran is basically at the bottom of the genius group, and she can't compare to Chen Lie, the champion of martial arts in three provinces."
If Chen Lie looked after her, it would give her one more minute of safety.
Lu Qidong and Xu Yunyan exchanged a glance. How could Chen Lie possibly keep an eye on so many people at once?
Even if you can barely keep up, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.
"Don't worry, Brother Chen Lie, I won't hold you back. My blood energy has exceeded 1,200 calories, and my strength has reached 3.7 times. If I find a few companions with similar strength to me, we should be able to deal with a first-tier beast," Wei Ranran said.
"Okay, I'll arrange for a few strong members to team up with you."
Chen Lie said that Wei Ranran is a member of the genius group, unlike Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan who are members of the genius training camp. She is expected to contribute her time and effort.
Wei Ranran nodded repeatedly. As a member of the genius group, even if she was at the bottom, it would be too shameful to just hide in the back.
She didn't want to be laughed at.
The three families came together, and Chen Lie's living room was almost overflowing, so they ended up having a meal at a restaurant outside.
During the meal, Lu Qingchan saw Wei Ranran talking to Chen Lie with utter admiration, and felt an overwhelming bitterness in her heart.
This girl is even better at martial arts than me, and as a member of the genius group, she shows such admiration for Chen Lie.
This further illustrates the vast gap between himself and Chen Lie.
The date arrived at June 5th, 7365 in the Galactic Calendar, the day when the three provinces of Sichuan rushed to the Northwest front to participate in military training.
A medium-sized starship flew from the northwest front to the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association Square and landed there.
A little after eight o'clock, Chen Lie's parents brought him to the Martial Arts Association.
"Son, be careful when you get to the military training ground. The beasts there are very ferocious. Let us know you're safe every few days," Feng Yuelan instructed.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be fine. You can go back now." Chen Lie nodded.
"Go inside. Once we see the Starship take off, we'll head back."
Chen Lie nodded and walked into the Martial Arts Association Square.
At this moment, the Martial Arts Association Square has been completely cordoned off with red tape.
Inside the square, a starship over two hundred meters long was parked in the middle.
All the members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team were waiting beside the Starship.
Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, they all greeted him.
Before long, several airships from Yunchuan and Xichuan arrived from two directions. Several airships landed, and the special students from Blue Star University in the two provinces stepped out of the airships.
