A Lesson in Perspective

Chen Lie walked out of the restaurant with his Student Card from the Genius Training Camp in hand.

"Chen Lie, are you Dormitory?"

Lu Qingchan caught up at this moment.

"Hmm." Chen Lie nodded.

"Okay, it'll be good to go and familiarize myself with it first."

Have you seen Green Bubble? It seems like all forty of us have been added to the same friend group.

Upon hearing Lu Qingchan's words, Chen Lie picked up his Communicator and saw that two new groups for the Genius Training Camp had appeared in his friend list.

The first group of friends was the "Genius Training Camp Phase 2 Student Group", which included five instructors and had a total of 45 people.

The second group is the "Genius Training Camp Phase 1 & 2 General Group, with a total of 331 people". Subtracting the instructors and 40 second-phase trainees who were called up early, there should be more than 280 First-Term Student.

"The martial arts instructors at the training camp will definitely post messages in the group frequently, so you should check it regularly."

"I understand," Chen Liedao.

"Then I'll Dormitory too."

After Lu Qingchan finished speaking, she waved to Chen Lie and turned to leave.

Chen Lie headed towards his Dormitory, following the layout of the training camp.

He had only taken a few steps when he heard someone calling him from behind.

"Brother Chen Lie, wait for me!"

Hearing the voice, Chen Lie turned around and saw that it was Zhao Hu, who had been with him during the Martial Artist Association's preliminary investigation.

"Brother Chen Lie, are you looking at the topographic map because you're heading to the Dormitory?"

Chen Liedao, "Yes."

"Let's go together then. Which building is your Dormitory?"

Chen Lie simply showed Zhao Hu his Dormitory number.

"Room 102 on the 6th floor? I'm in room 105 on the 6th floor. We're not far apart, in the same direction. Let's go!"

Chen Lie walked, he asked Zhao Hu, "You're from a collateral branch of the Zhao Family family. How many people are in your Zhao Family family?"

Zhao Hu said, "If you add the main line and the collateral lines together, there are hundreds or even thousands of people. However, the collateral lines of a family cannot compare to the main line. Only the main line can be considered the true members of the Zhao Family."

We, the collateral relatives, don't enjoy the same treatment as the privileged class. Although we're better off than ordinary families, we're only slightly better off.

Chen Lie understood.

True members of the elite receive abundant resources and support from a young age. By this age, if they are gifted, their Blood Qi Value will definitely be in the four digits.

"By the way, Brother Chen Lie, I saw you as soon as I came out of the restaurant."

But you were talking to a girl at the time, was that your girlfriend? She's really pretty."

"No." Chen Lie shook his head.

"No?" Zhao Hu asked in surprise, "You are the top martial arts student at the First Provincial Key High School. Logically speaking, you should be able to choose any of the pretty girls at the First Provincial Key High School."

"Your girlfriend must be the most outstanding beauty at the First Provincial Key High School school, right? That girl just now was so eager to join the Genius Training Camp, which means she's also talented, but she's not even the most beautiful girl at the Provincial Key High School school?"

"I don't know, I don't have a girlfriend."

"No way?"

Zhao Hu was somewhat skeptical, but then something occurred to him, and he quickly said, "I know, you must be trying to keep it a secret. You've heard about some things that happened at the Genius Training Camp, haven't you?"

"What is it?" Chen Lie asked.

"The Genius Training Camp is very brutal; it's not just about fighting for cultivation resources."

If a weaker person has a beautiful girlfriend, the stronger students might try to steal her away.

I know many examples of new trainees joining the Genius Training Camp with their girlfriends, which attracted the jealousy of the more skilled veteran trainees, who then beat them up three times a day for half a month.

"In the end, the new recruit couldn't take it anymore and had to break up with his girlfriend, who then went with the older recruit who had hit him," Zhao Hu said.

"Oh, Genius Training Camp is actually a free-range model."

Chen Lie smiled. It seemed that this Genius Training Camp was quite interesting.

"It's definitely a free-range system. Unless someone dies or is seriously injured or in critical condition, the instructors in the training camp don't really care."

What Vice Instructor Wu said earlier was a bit too mild; the real Genius Training Camp is even more brutal than that.

The Point Plunder Battle is an open attack that steals your points, but in the shadows, it's a sneak attack—"

"I won't say anything more, lest you think I'm exaggerating. You'll understand for yourself in a few days," Zhao Hu said.

"We'll see when the time comes!"

As he spoke, Chen Lie followed the route on the map and walked to his Dormitory.

After arriving at the Dormitory, Chen Lie parted ways with Zhao Hu and went to Room 102, 6th Floor.

The Dormitory at the Genius Training Camp were very luxurious. Chen Lie used his Student Card to open the electronic door to the Dormitory.

The Dormitory is about 120 square meters, and includes a sofa, TV, and bathroom, with all kinds of facilities.

After entering the room, Chen Lie watched TV for a while on the sofa; it Northwest Times from Blue Star Satellite TV.

After watching for a while, just as Chen Lie was about to get up, his Communicator suddenly beeped with a message from Green Bubble.

Upon clicking, I discovered it was a message from the "Genius Training Camp Phase 2 Student Group".

Wu Yunfei: "Students, please write your names down and be at the lobby on the third Second Comprehensive Teaching Building at 8:00 AM sharp tomorrow for class."

All members Zhao Hu: Received!

Sun Zhengquan: Received!

Chen Lie casually replied with "Received," then tossed the Communicator aside and went to the bedroom.

The next day, before Chen Lie had even left the house, he heard a series of urgent knocks on the door.

"Brother Chen Lie, this is Zhao Hu. Are you there?"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Lie went to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, he saw Zhao Hu standing outside.

"Do you have something to do so early?"

Zhao Hu couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you check the messages in the group yesterday?"

The instructors told us to be at the Second Comprehensive Teaching Building before 8:00 AM.

Chen Lie said, "We were told to arrive before eight o'clock, but it's only a little past six now."

"It's the first day, so it's always better to arrive early than late. I heard that the Genius Training Camp's Nutritional Meal serves Special Exotic Beast Meat Bread and Special High-Grade Nutrient Porridge for breakfast. It'll be good to try it on the first day."

"All right!"

Chen Lie nodded, walked out the door, and went to the restaurant with Zhao Hu.

Inside the restaurant at this moment, many trainees from the Genius Training Camp are having their meals at the tables.

Chen Lie and Zhao Hu each got a breakfast and found an empty seat in the restaurant to eat.

As expected, the breakfast at the Genius Training Camp consisted of Nutrient Bread made from Exotic Beast Meat and Spirit Medicine Supplement Porridge.

This ordinary breakfast, if served outside, would cost at least 20,000 Star Dollar.

But these things could bring Chen Lie very little.

After finishing breakfast, it was already past seven o'clock, so Chen Lie set off for the Second Comprehensive Teaching Building.

When Chen Lie arrived at the lobby of the Second Teaching Building, he saw that almost all 40 new students had already arrived.

"Chen Lie, you've arrived?"

Seeing Chen Lie appear at the door, Lu Qingchan went up to him.

"There are plenty of empty seats here; the martial arts instructor should be here soon."

After speaking, Lu Qingchan noticed Zhao Hu next to Chen Lie and asked, "Chen Lie, is this your friend?"

Zhao Hu quickly replied, "My Dormitory is very close to Chen Lie's, so we came together."

Um... Brother Chen Lie, I'll go to the other side so I won't disturb you and your wife's conversation.

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he quickly left.

Lu Qingchan smiled and glanced at Chen Lie casually.

How does he introduce himself to others?

After Chen Lie found a seat and sat down, Wu Yunfei, the instructor from yesterday, soon arrived in the hall.

Arriving at the podium at the very front of the hall, Wu Yunfei glanced at the students below.

"It seems that all 40 of our trainees have now arrived."

Then there's no need to wait.

"Class, today I'm going to give you a lesson on cognition."

All of you here are elites from the Four Major Martial Arts High Schools in East River Province.

Entering the Genius Training Camp means you've joined the ranks of Blue Star's geniuses; you can no longer be as ignorant and clueless as an ordinary person.

"In this cognitive lesson, I will help you see the world we live in directly, and the endless path of martial arts that lies ahead."

If any student has any questions later, they can ask them at any time.

Please keep quiet.

After Wu Yunfei finished speaking, all the lights in the third-floor hall went out, and the hall suddenly went dark.

Immediately afterwards, two large holographic projectors projected a picture of a real universe and starry sky. In the starry sky, large numbers of Fixed Star gathered together to form star clusters, and star clusters gathered together to form star fields.

The students felt as if they had been transported to outer space in an instant.

Wu Yunfei continued, "As we all know, the planet we live on is called Blue Star. Everyone is certainly familiar with Blue Star, because it has always been our home."

Next, I will introduce to you the location of our Blue Star, Earth, and the environment it faces.

Blue Star is a life-bearing planet located in the Canglan Star Domain East.

In the Canglan Star Domain East, there is a star cluster with five inhabited planets, and Blue Star is one of them.

Of these five life-bearing planets, only one, named Red Flame Planet Star, surpasses us in martial arts civilization.

Of the remaining four planets, three have martial arts civilizations inferior to ours, while the other, a habitable planet, embarked on interstellar travel almost simultaneously with Blue Star, and its martial arts civilization is on par with Blue Star's. This planet is named Wood Source Planet.

"I want to emphasize this planet, Wood Source Planet, here."

Wood Source Planet is a planet in interstellar space that fiercely competes with Blue Star. I believe everyone is familiar with the "Dark Moon" organization, which has been assassinating geniuses on Blue Star.

This "Dark Moon" is a force cultivated by Wood Source Planet with the sole purpose of assassinating martial Blue Star geniuses from Earth, aiming to weaken Blue Star's strength and cause it to decline in future interstellar competition.

After Wu Yunfei finished speaking, he glanced at the students below the stage.

Chen Lie, sitting in the audience, saw a girl in the front row let out a soft moan and a cold smile.

He happened to know this girl; her name was Song Yixuan.

On the podium, Wu Yunfei continued, "When we talk about Outer Stars, we are mostly referring to the central part of the Canglan Star Domain, where star clusters are concentrated."

There, the martial arts scene is far more prosperous than on Blue Star, and martial arts geniuses are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

The Starry Sky University, which we are familiar with, is located in the central part of the Canglan Star Domain.
