Feng Shuangshuang

The girl with the high ponytail stood outside the shop counter, frightened, and lingered for a long time.

At this moment, the shop owner couldn't help but say, "Young lady, since you are a member of the Genius Training Camp First Phase, there's no reason why you don't have any good friends who practice martial arts with you."

"Just borrow a few thousand points from your classmates or friends. You can pay them back when the points are issued in a few days. Are you really that embarrassed to ask?"

"Boss, I really don't have any classmates or friends, so... could you lend me a few thousand points?"

"I'll return it to you as soon as I collect my monthly base points in a few days. I can leave my Student ID with you as collateral," the girl with the high ponytail said.

The shopkeeper said helplessly, "I really want to lend it to you, but I don't have any points from the Martial Artist Association."

All points earned from the goods sold in the store are credited to the Martial Artist Association's Superbrain system, and Star Dollar are settled uniformly at the end of the month.

I think you should borrow some points from your friends or classmates. There are no small matters in martial arts training; don't be too shy to ask."

A bitter expression flashed across the pretty face of the girl with the high ponytail.

Was she too shy to ask? She genuinely couldn't borrow it!

Outside the shop, Zhao Hu asked curiously, "Chen Lie, why aren't you leaving?"

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Chen Lie didn't say much, but when he saw the girl with the high ponytail within ten meters, he felt quite emotional.

"However, it's not exactly a coincidence. During this period, she had already participated in a six-month Genius Training Camp, so it's a medium-probability event that we would bump into each other at the Trading Market."

Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Chen Lie Zhao Hu quickly followed him.

When Chen Lie entered the shop, the shop owner, seeing that someone had come in again, quickly stepped forward to greet him, "See if you need anything. The shop has all kinds of Spirit Medicine, tonics, and Spirit Liquid."

Chen Lie walked straight to the counter without looking to either side, pointing to the Spirit Blood Red Lotus on it. "Is this a three-hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine?"

The shop owner replied, "That's right, this is Spirit Blood Red Lotus, a type of Spirit Medicine that replenishes energy. It's a rare item among Spirit Medicine of the same level; sometimes we only get one every two or three months."

Chen Lie said "Oh," and took the Spirit Blood Red Lotus in his hand to examine it closely. It was a red lotus that was twice the size of his fist.

The girl with the high ponytail standing next to her clenched her fists secretly when she saw the Spirit Medicine she desperately needed being chosen.

"What's the deal with these two Tier 2 Exotic Beast Core?" Chen Lie asked.

"Oh, this is what the young lady picked out. She probably wants to buy Spirit Medicine and Exotic Beast Core to refine her qi and blood and increase her strength," the shop owner replied.

"Are two Tier 2 Exotic Beast Core enough to refine your qi and blood?" Chen Lie asked.

The shop owner said, "The students in the Genius Training Camp First Phase have at least 400 kcal of Blood Qi Value. Two pieces of Tier 2 Exotic Beast meat are indeed not enough. They don't even buy medicinal bath Spirit Liquid. It's really stingy."

That's normal, though. Young people these days have almost zero self-control. As soon as they receive their monthly basic points, they can't help but spend lavishly, let alone save up points. They haven't received their monthly basic points yet, so naturally they don't have enough points to buy a basic package to improve their health and vitality.

Chen Lie grunted and said, "Give me this 300-year-old Spirit Blood Red Lotus, and also, bring me ten more pieces of Tier 2 Exotic Beast meat."

"The body-refining Spirit Liquid, along with a combination of various Spirit Medicine needed to refine qi and blood, and all other resources must be identical."

"Alright!" The shop owner casually asked, "Are you only refining your Qi and Blood without increasing your Blood Qi Value? Would you like to add another Spirit Medicine to increase your Blood Qi Value?"

Chen Lie said, "Then recommend one to me."

"I noticed that other members of the Genius Training Camp First Phase, while honing their qi and blood, also requested Spirit Medicine over a hundred years old to enhance their Blood Qi Value. How about I give you one of the best-selling hundred-year-old Spirit Medicine?"

"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded.

The shop owner did the math and said, "These martial arts resources are worth a total of 37,800 points."

"Wrap it up, swipe your card!"

As he spoke, Chen Lie handed the Student Card for the Genius Training Camp to the shop owner.

The shop owner took Chen Lie's Student Card, swiped it on the device with a "beep," and the card was successfully swiped.

After paying the points, the shop owner returned Chen Lie's Student Card to Chen Lie and instructed the shop staff to pack up the martial arts resources Chen Lie had just purchased.

The girl with the high ponytail standing next to him couldn't help but marvel at Chen Lie's wealth and power.

Nearly 40,000 points were spent in the blink of an eye.

Keep in mind, those are the base points accumulated over two months in the Genius Training Camp.

After the initial surprise, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes. The Spirit Medicine she desperately needed had now been bought by someone else.

So she had no choice but to settle for second best, since the rare Spirit Blood Red Lotus, Spirit Medicine for replenishing energy, only appears once a month or so in the Trading Market.

She couldn't possibly wait a whole month.

"Hello, these are the martial arts resources you just purchased."

At this moment, the staff finished packing and handed a series of martial arts resources to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie didn't reach out to take it, but pointed to the girl with the high ponytail next to him and said, "Just give it to her!"

Hearing Chen Lie's words, the staff member was puzzled, but still gave the resources to the girl with the high ponytail next to him.

"Huh? What are you going to do with all these resources?"

The girl with the high ponytail looked puzzled, her pretty eyes fixed on Chen Lie.

Chen Liedao, "You don't have enough points, so consider these resources a loan."

"But---you want too much. These body-refining Spirit Liquid and century-old Spirit Medicine are not what I need."

"Also, of the ten Tier 2 Exotic Beast Core, I only need two," the girl with the high ponytail said.

"How can you achieve great things in martial arts training if you're so stingy?"

"Take everything. Martial arts training isn't something you can cut back on," Chen Lie said.

The girl with the high ponytail thought to herself: Do you think I want to be stingy?

She wanted to spend her points lavishly, but she was short of money.

How can I be compared to someone as wealthy and arrogant as you?

Despite her thoughts, the girl with the high ponytail said softly, "But—there are too many points; I'm afraid I can't return them to you in a short time."

"I'm not in a hurry. Let's talk about it when you have more money." Chen Lie waved his hand.

The girl with the high ponytail couldn't help but think back; since joining the Genius Training Camp, when had she ever been financially comfortable?

Why did you lend me so many points? I don't think I know you.

"Aren't you afraid I'll run away?" the girl with the high ponytail asked.

"You don't recognize me?" Chen Lie asked.

Have we known each other before?

"My name is Feng Shuangshuang, don't mistake me for someone else," the girl with the high ponytail said quickly.

Chen Lie nodded and said, "I've given you the resources. Enough said, let's go!"

"Um—I'll give you my contact information. You can come and ask me for the points anytime. However, I might not be able to return these points to you within two months, but I can pay you back in installments, 10,000 points each month," Feng Shuangshuang said.

"I told you I'm not in a hurry. While maintaining the resources for martial arts, you can return them to me when you have tens of thousands of points." Chen Lie waved his hand.

Feng Shuangshuang gave a bitter smile.

Is it possible to accumulate tens of thousands of points while maintaining martial arts resources?

Since entering the Genius Training Camp, her points have consistently been insufficient to cover her income.

Feng Shuangshuang borrowed a pen and paper from the shop owner, wrote down her contact information on the paper, and handed it to Chen Lie.

"This is my contact information. My name is Feng Shuangshuang, and I'm from the Second Training Department of the training camp. I will definitely repay the points I owe you."

Chen Lie took the paper from Feng Shuangshuang, put it in his pocket, and walked out of the shop.

"Um—although I don't want so many resources, thank you anyway, goodbye!"

Feng Shuangshuang caught up with Chen Lie, and after saying those words, she turned around and left the side street carrying a lot of martial arts resources.

"Brother Chen Lie, are you always this arrogant when you hit on girls from Shantou?"

Tens of thousands of points, just spend them like that?

Stepping out of the shop, Zhao Hu couldn't help but drop his jaw in astonishment.

Chen Lie only said one sentence, "What do you know?"

"That's right, I'm not rolling in money, of course I wouldn't understand."

Zhao Hu knew that Chen Lie was now worth millions of points, so spending tens of thousands was nothing to him.

However, if he had a million points, he definitely wouldn't be willing to spend them on others, not even the prettiest girl.

If it were a stranger, no matter how beautiful the girl was, Chen Lie wouldn't care.

However, according to seniority, Chen Lie should call Feng Shuangshuang his cousin.

Feng Shuangshuang is the daughter of Chen Lie's maternal uncle, and her mother, Feng Yuelan, is her aunt.

Chen Lie still remembers that in the second half of his senior year of high school in his previous life, because his progress in martial arts was slow, his mother, Feng Yuelan, specially went back to her parents' home and invited Feng Shuangshuang, who had already received an admission notice from Blue Star University, to her home to tutor him in martial arts for more than half a month.

In her previous life, Feng Shuangshuang always presented herself as a serious and stern older sister to Chen Lie Chen Lie, giving him the feeling of a mother figure and always communicating with him in a lecturing tone.

Although Feng Shuangshuang was less than a year older than Chen Lie, in the eyes of their relatives and family, Feng Shuangshuang was already a mature adult, while Chen Lie at that time was just a child who didn't quite understand things.

During those two weeks, Feng Shuangshuang did indeed dedicate herself to instructing Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao, the brother and sister, in martial arts.

Without Feng Shuangshuang's tutoring for half a month, Chen Lie wouldn't have been able to get into the martial arts university in his previous life.

In this life, I never imagined that my stern cousin from my past life would be in such a predicament, struggling to accumulate enough points.

It seems that the genius girl whom her uncle and aunt praised so highly in her previous life was not as smooth sailing as they said, but rather full of hardships and disappointments in the Genius Training Camp.

Chen Lie thought it was normal that Feng Shuangshuang didn't recognize him, since he and Feng Shuangshuang didn't have any interaction at the moment.

The two had a lot of contact when they were seven or eight years old, but as they got older, Feng Shuangshuang was busy with martial arts training, and Chen Lie was too lazy to visit his uncle's family with his mother during the New Year, so they had much less interaction.

Chen Lie remembered that the last time he met Feng Shuangshuang was about three or four years ago.

Three or four years have passed; it's normal for a teenager to change appearance during his growth spurt, especially since Chen Lie is cultivating the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.

Youcheng's aura kept changing, and Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but think it was normal for him to be like this.

If it weren't for the half-month memory from his previous life, Chen Lie might not have recognized Feng Shuangshuang.

After walking around the Trading Market, Chen Lie spent over 40,000 points to buy a Martial Dao Rare Treasure for improving his Qi and Blood.

After leaving the Trading Market, Chen Lie had only 1.12 million points left out of his original 1.2 million.

He thought to himself that over a million points seemed like a lot, but they wouldn't last long.

His Blood Qi Value have increased, and these points can be used to cultivate the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> three times at most.

However, after three uses of the Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique, Chen Lie's blood and qi will definitely reach an unbelievable level.

By then, even if we don't talk about the whole province, he will definitely be hard to beat in this Genius Training Camp.

After having dinner with Zhao Hu at the training camp's cafeteria, Chen Lie returned to his Dormitory.

The next day, Chen Lie did not go to the training ground with Zhao Hu. He came to the Genius Training Camp only for resources and the Genius Training Camp there.

There's nothing I can teach him.

In his Dormitory room, Chen Lie moved all the tables in the small living room around, clearing out an open space of more than 20 square meters.

Chen Lie took out the Martial Dao Rare Treasure he had purchased at the Trading Market and ate them raw.

Immediately afterwards, he began practicing the "Basic Body Tempering Technique".

Since practicing the "Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique," Chen Lie has never practiced the "Basic Body Tempering Technique" again, because the effects of the "Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique" far surpass those of this Basic Body Tempering Technique.

However, because the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> was too domineering, Chen Lie hadn't made sufficient preparations in terms of cultivation resources and could only rely on "basic body tempering."

Because Chen Lie's Qi and Blood values are now vastly different from before, he immediately used the seventh form of the Basic Body Tempering technique.

The seventh form, the Basic Body Tempering Technique, consists of 86 movements, which Chen Lie performed in one go.

Soon, Chen Lie felt his blood and qi surging violently within his body.

The Martial Dao Rare Treasure he had eaten raw slowly dissolved in Chen Lie's stomach.

Chen Lie used his divine sense to investigate his cultivation progress.

This was his first time using Martial Dao Rare Treasure that enhanced blood and qi, and he was surprised to find that its effects were indeed far superior to those of Spirit Medicine Martial Dao Rare Treasure.

As his qi and blood circulated and surged, Chen Lie's qi and blood rapidly increased in strength.

After practicing the seventh Basic Body Tempering Technique four or five times, Chen Lie discovered that he had only digested less than a third of the energy brought by the Martial Dao Rare Treasure.

So Chen Lie immediately used the eighth move, "Basic Body Tempering Technique".

The eighth movement of the "Basic Body Tempering Technique" consists of 95 movements, which Chen Lie performed in sequence.

His divine sense instantly detected that the rate at which his blood and qi were increasing was more than 1.5 times faster than before.

Chen Lie Chen Lie the eighth form of the Basic Body Tempering Technique ten times, which took him more than three hours to fully digest the energy of the Martial Dao Rare Treasure.

"I wonder how much health Martial Dao Rare Treasure could increase for me."

With one million Martial Artist Association Points, and if he could find a way to get more points, Chen Lie's Blood Qi Value would soon break into four digits, reaching the first extreme Ultimate Realm of Blood-Qi Stage, "Blood-Qi Like Slurry."
