Chapter 255 The Tragic Chen Ye
Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, the entire family fell silent.
They have all signed guarantees in the presence of official personnel.
If they come knocking on your door again on this pretext, they'll likely face several years in prison.
"Ono, let's call this marriage off," Chen Shijian said.
Chang Guirong also said, "They are blind to talent; they will regret it later."
Chen Ye was filled with immense sorrow; he truly couldn't bear to part with that beautiful young girl.
Even though he was very reluctant, there was nothing he could do. He could only secretly resent his parents for being useless and not letting Chen Lie share the opportunity with him.
On June 2nd of the Galactic Calendar 7365, the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association finally announced that the students who had been specially recruited by Blue Star University would, three days later, on June 5th at 6:6 AM, board a starship and head to the Northwest Front to participate in military training and fight against alien beasts.
This time, 360 people from Dongchuan Province received early admission offers from Lanxing University.
In the afternoon, Chen Lie saw a message in the Genius Group chat.
"Students, please come to the second floor of the Martial Arts Association Building at 8:00 AM tomorrow for a group meeting of special admissions students of Blue Star University. Please do not be absent."
The reply below should be "Received".
Chen Lie put away the communicator, his mind preoccupied with the situation on the Northwest front.
According to his memories from his previous life, Chen Lie went to the Martial Arts Association Building early the next morning in the northwest of Blue Star.
Upon arriving at the Martial Arts Association building, Chen Lie saw a sparse number of teenagers around seventeen or eighteen years old entering the association.
As soon as Chen Lie arrived at the door, staff members immediately came forward to greet him.
"Hello student, please go to the second-floor lobby to prepare for the meeting!"
Chen Lie nodded and walked into the Martial Arts Association.
At this moment, several trainees from the nearby talent training camp were surprised to see Chen Lie.
"Look, isn't that Chen Lie, the top martial arts champion of three provinces?"
"It's him, no doubt. I heard that Chen Lie's family isn't very well-off, not even as well-off as mine. I didn't expect him to be so skilled in martial arts. He's really amazing."
"What's the big deal? All members of the genius team are attending this Blue Star University special admissions conference, and the top martial arts champions from the three provinces will definitely be there too!"
Chen Lie walked up to the second floor of the Martial Arts Building, and the people around him subconsciously avoided him and made way for him.
The second-floor lobby of the Martial Arts Association has been cleared out, with rows of temporary seats added.
Thirty seats are at the very front and belong to the thirty members of the genius team, while the hundreds of seats behind are reserved for the students in the genius training camp.
As soon as Chen Lie arrived, the members of the genius team, who had already taken their seats, all stood up to greet him.
First, Luo Zhixun stood up and greeted Chen Lie with a smile, "Chen Lie!"
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ranran also came over and called out, "Brother Chen Lie, you're here?"
Tang Jiu'er, Liu Wanwan, and others stood up to greet them, and within moments, all the members of the genius group present stood up.
The trainees in the front row of the genius training camp were all stunned.
Is this a tangible manifestation of the prestige of the three provincial martial arts champions?
The moment he appeared, all the members of the genius team stood up to greet him.
Lu Qingyun, who had a past conflict with Chen Lie, was extremely angry at this moment.
He really couldn't understand whether Chen Lie's martial arts strength was always like this, or whether it had improved in such a short period of time.
But now that he's under someone else's roof, he has no choice but to bow his head.
If we don't give Chen Lie face now, he will definitely settle scores with us later when we participate in military training.
Chen Lie glanced at the members of the genius team and said, "Sit down, everyone!"
After hearing Chen Lie's words, the members of the genius group sat down one by one.
"Brother Chen Lie, your seat is in the very middle." Wei Ranran pointed to the empty seat in the middle for Chen Lie.
"Okay, I understand!"
Chen Lie nodded and sat in the center, seat C.
Time quickly came to eight o'clock in the morning, and at this moment, all three hundred and sixty specially admitted students of Blue Star University had arrived.
At this moment, Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association, walked to the podium in front of his seat.
After glancing at the packed audience, Xu Tianchuan began to speak.
"Students, I am Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Provincial Martial Arts Association. I have gathered you all here today to announce some things."
The people sitting here today are all martial arts geniuses from Dongchuan Province who were specially recruited by Blue Star University in advance.
Blue Star Martial Arts University is the best martial arts university on our planet, and it only admits 60,000 students in advance each year.
As one of these 60,000 people, you can all be considered the most outstanding individuals on Earth.
Next, I'll explain the details of this military training.
"I believe that even if you are busy with martial arts training, you will still take the time to read the news on Blue Star. So you students must know how serious the beast infestation is in the northwest of our Blue Star."
The combat training against alien beasts was officially ordered by the Blue Star government ten years ago, in order to let the most promising martial arts geniuses on Blue Star understand how severe the situation is inside Blue Star.
Therefore, this Northwest military training is mandatory. Failure to complete the training will prevent Blue Star University from stamping your special admission notice with the military training certificate, and Blue Star University will not accept you, no matter how talented you are.
Chen Lie certainly didn't believe what Xu Tianchuan said on stage.
The truly top geniuses on Earth are definitely exempt from the Northwest Military Training. If a top genius doesn't want to go, the Earth authorities can't force them to. They can't afford to offend a martial arts genius with unlimited potential over something like this.
Didn't my younger sister, Chen Xingyao, skip military training and go straight to Beijing?
If Chen Lie also accepts the recruitment of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, he can be exempted from the Northwest combat military training.
However, he also wanted to see just how rampant the alien beasts were in the northwest of Blue Star.
"The 60,000 specially recruited students from 89 provinces who were specially recruited by Blue Star University were divided into four military training areas, with about 15,000 students in each area."
We, the three provinces of Sichuan, will definitely work together. The martial arts associations of the three provinces have made an agreement that if any of the three provinces fails to complete the military training mission, the other two provinces are obligated to help without endangering the safety of their own members.
"If any students have any questions about the Northwest Military Training, they can raise their hands and ask," Xu Tianchuan said.
At that moment, a top-ranked student from the elite training camp raised his hand.
Xu Tianchuan immediately raised his hand and said, "Young man, please ask whatever questions you have."
The trainee from the genius training camp stood up and asked, "President Xu, what are our military training tasks?"
"Good question. Our military training mission is for each person to hunt at least one Tier 1 alien beast. We have 360 special recruits, so we have to hunt 360 alien beasts."
The deadline is half a month. If the mission is completed, the frontline military training team will stamp the document and grant entry to Blue Star University. If the mission is not completed, then the entire province will be considered to have failed.
Even if a province fails, an individual can apply to hunt a strange beast alone. If two strange beasts are hunted within three days, the military training unit can still stamp the application.
However, only a member of our genius team, or even one of the stronger members of our genius team, can successfully hunt down two strange beasts on their own.
And our students in this special early recruitment training camp will miss out on Blue Star University forever.
The trainees in the genius training camp behind them were immediately taken aback.
If the group cannot pass the test, then they will absolutely not be able to complete this military training by their individual efforts.
Xu Tianchuan continued, "Therefore, in order to ensure that all 300-plus students from Dongchuan Province who have been recruited can successfully complete their military training, all of us must unite together."
The Provincial Martial Arts Association has decided that Chen Lie, the top martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province, will serve as the team leader for the military training group to help everyone complete this mission.
I must say that on the military training field, all students must obey Chen Lie's command and orders and cooperate with his leadership. If anyone dares to disobey Chen Lie's orders and cause the military training mission to fail, they should first consider whether they can bear the responsibility.
Students who are less capable should be even more mindful of supporting the group led by Chen Lie.
The establishment of the military training member teams is fundamentally about enabling the stronger students from Dongchuan Province to help the weaker ones.
Xu Tianchuan raised his hand and looked at Chen Lie: "Chen Lie, please stand up and let the other students recognize you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie stood up, and his image was instantly projected onto the large screen behind the podium.
Chen Lie quickly sat down again.
"Classmates, this is Chen Lie. On the military training field, he will be responsible for leading all of us specially recruited students to complete this military training mission."
We hope that Chen Lie can lead his classmates to complete this military training with zero casualties and perfectly.
"Because Dongchuan Province won the championship in this year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, on June 5th, the special students from Yunnan and Sichuan provinces will come to Dongchuan together, take a starship from Dongchuan Province, and rush to the Northwest front to participate in military training."
Students, remember this: June 5th, which is the day after tomorrow, before 9:00 AM, wait for Xingzhou at the Martial Arts Association Square.
Since injuries and fatalities are unavoidable during military training, the Martial Arts Association will issue each person a hazard warning sheet for military training.
Students should have their parents sign the hazard acknowledgment form.
At this moment, someone else raised their hand and asked, "President Xu, what is the probability of encountering danger during military training?"
Xu Tianchuan said, "Then I'll talk about the data from the year before last."
Last year, 340 students from Dongchuan Province received special admission notices from Lanxing University, and 13 students were injured or killed during military training.
The casualty rate during military training is as high as 4%. For your own safety, please do not take it lightly.
During military training, it is essential to act as a group and obey instructions.
Xu Tianchuan answered questions from more than 300 specially admitted students at the meeting, which lasted for two hours before it ended.
After the meeting, Xu Tianchuan separately summoned Chen Lie, along with the other four who had reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood: Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, and...
Song Yixuan and Tang Jiu'er arrived at the office next to the second-floor lobby.
Inside the office, Xu Tianchuan looked at the five people and sighed.
"This year, our Dongchuan Province has truly experienced a martial arts explosion, with five people reaching the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm appearing."
After expressing his admiration, Xu Tianchuan said earnestly, "Chen Lie, your martial arts are the strongest in the history of our Dongchuan Province's genius team."
"During military training, you and the other four classmates should work extra hard so that Dongchuan Province can get through this training with zero casualties."
"President Xu, zero casualties is probably impossible, isn't it? There are over three hundred people; there are bound to be a few with strange minds," Chen Lie said.
"Don't worry, the Martial Arts Association and I will do our best to work with the other specially recruited students, ensuring that they follow your will as the ironclad rule on the military training field."
This year, we have five members at the peak of Qi and Blood, and six members with Qi and Blood values exceeding 2,000 calories.
I also watched your battle against Ji Lingxuan at the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. Your current strength is almost comparable to that of an average fourth-tier martial artist.
I also fought in the Northwest military training, and I believe that you are fully capable of dealing with a second-tier alien beast on your own.
With you holding things together, Dongchuan Province has a real chance of getting through this military training with zero casualties.
Chen Lie simply said, "I'll do my best."
After Xu Tianchuan finished giving a few instructions, he let Chen Lie and the others leave.
Not long after she stepped out of the office, Tang Jiu'er's loud voice rang out.
"What? Zhixun, you've already reached the Tendon Refining stage?"
Luo Zhixun smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't be so loud. You're only in the Tendon Refining stage; you're still a long way from Bone Refining."
"The problem is, you haven't been in the Qi and Blood Peak realm for very long, only half a month earlier than me, so how come you're progressing so quickly?"
Luo Zhixun didn't hold back when talking to her friend, saying, "I was originally a bit clueless about tendon training."
However, I had a martial arts exchange with Chen Lie the day before yesterday. His insights into martial arts were even greater than my senior's. He pointed out my problem with just one glance.
It was only under Chen Lie's guidance that I understood the profound meaning of the Tendon Refining stage.
"Wow, is Chen Lie that amazing? Can he compare to my sister?"
Tang Jiu'er was surprised, because her sister was a student at Starry Sky University.
"It's not that it can compare to, it can surpass."
My senior classmates had given me guidance before, but they didn't seem to be as helpful as Chen Lie.
"If that's the case—"
Tang Jiu'er recalled that she was matched with Chen Lie to exchange martial arts at the gathering of eight provinces that day, but she didn't think much of Chen Lie at the time, so she directly rejected him.
Now it seems I've missed something?
Shaking her head, Tang Jiu'er tried to banish these jumbled thoughts from her mind.
Tang Jiu'er and Luo Zhixun left the Martial Arts Association building together when they suddenly received a communication.
The message from the communication startled her.
Luo Zhixun turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"A friend of my sister's, who was a member of our previous year's genius team and got into Blue Star University, asked me to help her deal with someone."
"Who should we deal with?"
"She'll send me the message in a bit, let me see!"
Just as Tang Jiu'er finished speaking, her communicator suddenly received a message. She quickly clicked on it and took a look.
After reading it, she exclaimed, "Huh?"
"He's a student in the elite class of a martial arts high school. Strange, how did someone with such low strength get into trouble with my sister's friend?"
He also told me to be ruthless and at least cripple the kid's hands and feet.
After it's all over, I need to take a video and send it over.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhixun exclaimed in surprise, "This feud runs deep; they even filmed it."
"Sigh, I looked at someone's information and his Qi and Blood value was less than 200 calories, just a small amount of blood. Why would I bother to take action?"
"My cousin's son happens to be a student at the genius training camp, so he's perfect for this. I'll give the task to him and let him handle it!" Tang Jiu'er said.
On the other hand, two days passed, and Chen Ye's marriage proposal in southern Jiangsu Province fell through, but he was still melancholy.
On this day, Chen Ye went to his elite class as usual.
He had barely sat down when one of his elite classmates called out to him, "Chen Ye, is someone outside looking for you?"
"Who is looking for me?" Chen Ye asked.
"I don't know it. Go out and see for yourself!"
Chen Ye walked out of the classroom, puzzled.
Sure enough, outside the classroom, a young man was seen standing there with his arms crossed.
The young man turned on his communicator and looked Chen Ye up and down, comparing the photos.
"So your name is Chen Ye?"
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Chen Ye looked at the other party warily.
"What is it? Think about who you've offended!"
The young man swung his hand and slapped Chen Ye across the face.
Chen Ye's broken teeth flew out of his mouth instantly, and at the same time, his face swelled up instantly.
Chen Ye was stunned by the slap and it took him a while to cry out in pain.
The young man snorted coldly and kicked Chen Ye more than ten meters away, where he crashed heavily to the ground.
Chen Ye struggled to his feet, trying to escape while shouting, "Help! Murder!"
"Damn it, you still dare to run?"
The young man caught up with Chen Ye in an instant and kicked him in the back.
Chen Ye vaguely heard a cracking sound coming from his spine, and instantly collapsed to the ground.
The young man didn't stop. He broke Chen Ye's legs and feet with a few punches and kicks, and finally kicked Chen Ye into the air, breaking several of his ribs.
After falling from the sky with a "thud," Chen Ye completely lost consciousness.
Even now, he still doesn't understand why he was beaten up.
After recording a half-minute video on his communicator, the young man sent the video to his upline.
When Chang Guirong received the notification and ran to the infirmary to see Chen Ye lying paralyzed on the bed, she immediately cried out.
"Who the hell beat my son up like this?"
Seeing Chang Guirong's agitated expression, the tutor next to her quickly said, "Chen Ye's parent, please don't get agitated."
Our school doctor examined Chen Ye and found that he had all external injuries, including a fractured spine, three broken ribs, and broken bones in his arms and legs.
There's certainly no danger to his life, but he'll probably need two months to recover. During this time, his martial arts achievements will definitely suffer.
Chang Guirong rushed forward to check on him and found that her son was almost completely unwell and looked like he was on the verge of death.
Unable to hold back any longer, he cried out, "Who did this? Who did this?"
"It was a student from the genius training camp named Liu Yang who did the beating. He said he mistook Chen Ye for someone else, expressed his deep apologies for Chen Ye's injuries, and was willing to offer one million star coins to settle the matter."
