Feng Shuangshuang was taken aback and hesitated for a moment as she looked at Qu Yun'er, whose hair was disheveled.

But after much deliberation, she still walked towards Qu Yun'er.

Seeing Feng Shuangshuang walking towards her, Qu Yun'er exclaimed in terror, "Feng Shuangshuang, what do you want to do?"

You dare!

Unfazed by Qu Yun'er's murderous gaze, Feng Shuangshuang walked straight up to Qu Yun'er and, following Chen Lie's instructions, raised her hand and delivered a heavy blow to Qu Yun'er's palm.

A loud slap rang out.

Qu Yun'er's face visibly became red and swollen.

Feng Shuangshuang ultimately did not do as Chen Lie had suggested, knocking out Qu Yun'er's teeth; she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Upon feeling the pain on her face, Qu Yun'er immediately shouted and cursed, "Feng Shuangshuang, you little slut, how dare you hit me! You just wait, I'll make sure to spread your lewd deeds throughout the entire training camp!"

Chen Lie glanced at Feng Shuangshuang and said, "See? Your soft-heartedness won't make her grateful."

To deal with this kind of person, if you can't physically eliminate them, you must instill fear in them.

Go and break all her joints, make her stay in bed for a month."

Feng Shuangshuang lowered her head instinctively. "I—I can't do it."

"Hmm?" Chen Lie looked at Feng Shuangshuang, but Feng Shuangshuang Chen Lie his gaze, her eyes darting around.

"Alright then, I'll do it for you this time. But if there's a next time, you'll have to do it yourself."

Considering that Feng Shuangshuang had always lived on Blue Star, where the laws were sound and the protection of ordinary people at the bottom was very good, Chen Lie did not make things difficult for her. Under Qu Yun'er's terrified gaze, Chen Lie walked over again.

"What—what do you think you're doing? I'm warning you, the training camp instructors are nearby. They won't allow you to act recklessly. If they find out you're so lawless, the training camp won't let you off the hook!"

Qu Yun'er dragged her heavy body backward.

Chen Lie's brutal methods aroused a sense of resistance among the surrounding trainees.

People naturally sympathize with the weak. No matter how wrong Qu Yun'er was, Chen Lie's ruthless actions were indeed excessive.

However, due to Chen Lie's strength, although the onlookers were dissatisfied, none of them spoke out; everyone was trembling with fear.

The vast exercise area was eerily quiet.

Just then, a clear, crisp sound rang out.

"Wow, Chen Lie is really exuding an aura of dominance! What? Is he going to risk everything for a woman?"

Chen Lie turned his head and saw Song Yixuan walking out of the crowd with a big smile on her face.

Upon seeing Song Yixuan, Chen Lie frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

"Chen Lie, we entered the training camp in the same batch, so we should have some relationship. Why are you frowning when you see me?"

After Song Yixuan finished speaking, seeing that Chen Lie seemed unmoved, she added, "I wanted to remind you that this student named Qu Yun'er didn't even go up to the Duel Platform with you. According to the training camp rules, breaking her legs was already a violation. If you went any further, even if you have strong talent, the instructors won't be able to find a reason to protect you."

"You mean, you want me to let her go?"

Song Yixuan thought for a moment, then said, "How about this, I'll help you deal with this Qu Yun'er. She's in the same Training Department as me, so it'll be easier for me to take action."

I can guarantee that within two weeks she'll be begging you, her little girlfriend, to let her go.

Why should you help me?

Chen Lie chose to use the most direct and violent means to solve the problem because he was too lazy to waste time on Qu Yun'er.

With Song Yixuan's strength, why would she go to such lengths to deal with someone as insignificant as an ant to her? Wouldn't that interfere with her cultivation?

"We're practically acquaintances now, and besides, you've given my brother some pointers. Is it strange for us to help each other out?"

Also, I'm a bit annoyed by Qu Yun'er; she's too pretentious.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Chen Lie nodded, glanced at Qu Yun'er, and Chen Lie for Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan to leave.

Just then, a student suddenly stepped out from the crowd and came in front of Chen Lie.

"Chen Lie, the instructor asked me to inform you that you should go to the Chief Instructor's Office immediately after the Point Plunder Battle ends."

Chen Lie replied, "Understood!"

Upon seeing this, some of the students nearby began to mutter quietly.

"See? I told you you can't be this lawless in the training camp. Hitting someone might feel good in the moment, but if the instructors hold you accountable, you'll be in deep trouble."

"He should be held accountable. The other person hadn't even stepped onto the Duel Platform, and he still wanted to break their leg. If everyone in the training camp acted like him, who would follow the rules?"

Hearing the students' murmurs, Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask, "Is the instructor going to hold you accountable for assault?"

"Don't worry, they won't hold me accountable at all," Chen Lie waved his hand.

Feng Shuangshuang said "Oh," and then asked, "Why are you helping me?"

First, they borrowed tens of thousands of points from me when we first met, and today they're standing up for me?

Could it be that he really likes me? What other reason could there be?

Chen Lie said, "You really don't remember me?"

Think about it carefully. If you really can't remember, just come and ask me.

Feng Shuangshuang was stunned. Judging from his tone, did she know him?

But even after searching her entire social circle, she couldn't possibly know someone with such extraordinary abilities.

She would definitely remember a martial arts genius with a Blood Qi Value of over four digits, even if she had only heard of him once.

Could it be that she suffered from amnesia?

After the Point Plunder Battle ended, the trainees in the training ground left one after another. Chen Lie went directly to the Chief Instructor's Office after leaving the training ground.

The Point Plunder Battle lasted for nearly three hours.

As soon as Lu Qingchan and Feng Shuangshuang left the training ground, they parted ways with Chen Lie and went to the training camp's restaurant.

After they each got their food, they found a quiet place.

While eating, Lu Qingchan couldn't help but ask, "So, your name is Feng Shuangshuang?"

Feng Shuangshuang nodded and said "Mmm".

Lu Qingchan then asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Chen Lie?"

"I really don't know," Feng Shuangshuang replied, shaking her head.

"Have no idea?"

Lu Qingchan was puzzled. Judging from Chen Lie's tone just now, they clearly knew each other.

Just then, Feng Shuangshuang's Communicator suddenly rang.

Feng Shuangshuang took out the Communicator and saw that it was her mother.

She immediately answered the call.

As soon as the call connected, a voice came from the Communicator: "Shuangshuang, what are you doing right now?"

"Mom, I'm eating at the Training Camp Cafeteria."

"Okay, martial arts training requires a balance of intensity and rest. Don't skip meals because of this. You were like that at home before; once you started practicing martial arts..."

They didn't distinguish between day and night, sometimes only eating one meal a day.

"I know, Mom."

"Hmm, how's it going at the training camp lately?"

"It's pretty good."

Feng Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, then said something against her will.

She always reported good news to her family, never bad.

"Mom, why did you suddenly call me at noon? Is something wrong?"

Feng Shuangshuang asked again, because she knew that her family usually contacted her around 8 or 9 pm, but today they unusually called her at noon.

"Oh, I see. Your aunt's child also recently entered Genius Training Camp."

Your aunt made a special trip to our house today. She asked you to look after your cousin at the training camp. After all, you're Genius Training Camp First Phase, so you definitely know more than your cousin, that greenhorn.

"My cousin?" Feng Shuangshuang was stunned.

"Yes, it's been three or four years since you last saw each other. You didn't spend much time together when you were kids, so you've probably forgotten him. His name is Chen Lie."

"Chen Lie, he's entered the Genius Training Camp?"

Feng Shuangshuang vaguely remembered that her little cousin had very poor Blood Qi Value, so how did he suddenly get into the Genius Training Camp?

"It was over half a month ago."

Don't you have your aunt's Green Bubble? I'll have your aunt send you Chen Lie's friend list later, and you can add him.

In the training camp from now on, please take extra care of him.

"Okay, I understand," Feng Shuangshuang replied.

"Okay, Mom won't disturb your meal anymore. Remember to check Green Bubble later."

"Good."

Feng Shuangshuang put away her Communicator, and when she looked up, she saw Lu Qingchan staring at her in surprise.

"So you're Chen Lie's cousin?"

Feng Shuangshuang was taken aback. "You mean, that Chen Lie from earlier is my cousin?"

"You and Chen Lie didn't only meet when you were little, did you? Even if you didn't recognize Chen Lie then, you should be confused by now, right?"

"Your name is Feng Shuangshuang, Chen Lie's mother's surname is also Feng. It's obvious that you two are cousins," Lu Qingchan said.

"Oh, I see. But I heard from my aunt that my cousin Chen Lie's Blood Qi Value was quite low. How come it suddenly reached four digits?"

Feng Shuangshuang seemed to realize something, but the ruthless Chen Lie in front of her was nothing like the little cousin she remembered. How could they be the same person?

"If Chen Lie's blood and qi are weak, can he even get into the Genius Training Camp?"

Chen Lie told me everything; he had been hiding it all along.

"Hide? What's there to hide? Isn't being strong a good thing?" Feng Shuangshuang asked, puzzled.

I don't know either.

Lu Qingchan replied, she had just been wondering what the special relationship was between Chen Lie and Feng Shuangshuang, but now that she knew they were just cousins, she felt inexplicably relieved.

When her cousin saw her in such a disheveled state at the training camp, Feng Shuangshuang felt utterly ashamed.

My aunt even specifically asked me to look after him at the training camp, but do I deserve that responsibility?

Thinking back on what happened today, all thanks to her cousin's support, Feng Shuangshuang felt that she would never be able to hold her head high in front of her cousin again.

At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang Green Bubble some messages from her aunt Feng Yuelan and a friend's notification.

"Shuangshuang, remember to look after your cousin at the training camp. Thank you."

Upon seeing this message, Feng Shuangshuang felt a bit stung and wanted to reply, but couldn't find the right words.

For a moment, her face turned bright red with embarrassment.

After a long silence, she mustered her courage and replied, "Mm."

He then exited Green Bubble and quickly put the Communicator in his pocket.

On the other side, after leaving the training ground, Chen Lie went directly to the Chief Instructor's Office.

Having been at the training camp for almost half a month, Chen Lie had already familiarized himself with the general layout of the camp.

Soon, Chen Lie arrived at the Chief Instructor's Office.

Chen Lie knocked on the office door.

Upon hearing the response from inside the office, Chen Lie immediately went inside.

The Chief Instructor of the Genius Training Camp Ding Haiyan, a young man in his thirties.

He looked ordinary, but Chen Lie could feel the immense power lurking within him.

Chen Lie approached Ding Haiyan.

"Teacher, you wanted to see me?"

Ding Haiyan hummed in agreement, put down a document in his hand, looked up at Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, don't be nervous. The instructor called you here not to interrogate you, but to ask you something."

"I wonder what the instructor wants to ask me?" Chen Lie smiled, showing no sign of nervousness.

Ding Haiyan said, "I looked at your information. The information about you in the Provincial Key High School school is very limited, only a few dozen words."

From Ordinary Class to Top 100 Ranking Elite Student, and then to winning first place in the school's martial arts competition, it only took a little over a month.

If it were only these things, I wouldn't care, but now even Zhao Jinghao has been defeated by you, and most importantly, you're not even 18 years old.

If you are from a prominent family in East River Province, this is not surprising, but your family is clearly an ordinary one.

Your strength increase is completely illogical. I personally don't believe that someone can increase their Blood Qi Value Blood Qi Value from single digits to thousands in just two months.

So I want to ask you, what is your true strength? Why are you hiding your strength?

Chen Lie had already prepared his explanation, replying, "My Blood Qi Value is already close to four digits. As for why I need to hide my strength..."

"It's because I'm a Divine Sense Master, and my spiritualist teacher once told me that cultivating Mental Power is fundamental, so he didn't want me to show off in martial arts, lest it hinder my Mental Power cultivation."

Ding Haiyan exclaimed in surprise, "You're Divine Sense Master? Or Apprentice Divine Sense Master?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Yes, but we're not far from reaching the next level."

"At your age, you're not far from reaching the next level? Do you know what that means?"

Ding Haiyan suppressed his shock and asked in a deep voice.

"I've looked into it; it's probably among the top three in the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong," Chen Lie said.

"That's more than just top three! That's practically one of the best in Three Rivers!"

Ding Haiyan was amazed by Chen Lie's calmness.

After expressing his admiration, he added, "May I ask, what realm is your teacher in the Dao of Divine Sense at?"

Chen Lie said, "I don't know what realm he's at, but his outward Mental Power can materialize."

"Divine Sense Grandmaster?"

Ding Haiyan was immediately shocked.

The ability to materialize Mental Power is something only Divine Sense Grandmaster can achieve.

The Divine Sense Grandmaster are the most prominent figures on Blue Star, each one a renowned and illustrious individual.

If one is a disciple of Divine Sense Grandmaster, then one can indeed disregard the title of the number one in the Three Rivers.

"If that's the case, why do you want to take up martial arts again and show your strength?"

"My teacher's final instruction to me was that my master could only guide me in; the rest was up to me to cultivate myself."

After saying that, he said he would no longer interfere with my cultivation, and that I could choose for myself, requesting that whether I chose martial arts or Mental Power,

We all need to achieve results.

He set a requirement for me: to get into Starry Sky University based on my own abilities.

"Starry Sky University- ""

Ding Haiyan didn't know how to feel.

Starry Sky University, the best martial arts university Outer Stars, a holy land that billions of young men and women on Blue Star dream of, has actually become the standard set by Chen Lie's master.

After regaining his composure, Ding Haiyan said, "With your level of Mental Power, if I help you apply, you can enter the Provincial Youth Genius Group at any time after passing a test."

Leaving aside your Mental Power, your martial arts skills alone are almost enough to qualify you for the Provincial Youth Genius Group. However, since your Blood Qi Value is only close to four digits, it will be a little later.

"Have you considered whether you need me to help you apply for a Mental Power test?"

Chen Lie directly refused. "No, I want to wait until my martial arts skills are more developed before advancing to the provincial-level youth Genius Group."

He hadn't even collected the 2,000 points per person per month from all the trainees in the Genius Training Camp, so how could he have been promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group so easily?

As far as he knew, even members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group only earned 200,000 points per month, which was far from enough for him.

"Alright, we always give a lenient approach to the top-performing and most promising students in the training camp and will not interfere with your training."

However, I still want to remind you to go easy on me on the Duel Platform.

Zhao Jinghao is also a trainee with great potential in the training camp. Now that you've injured him like this, he has to recuperate in bed, delaying his training time by more than half a month. Wouldn't it be a pity if he fell behind because of this?

Furthermore, the training camp has explicit rules prohibiting serious injury to anyone outside of the Duel Platform. Your blatant violation of these rules—breaking trainees' legs at will—makes the other trainees think.

If the general public isn't given an explanation, how can the training camp be trusted to maintain its credibility?

Chen Liedao, "I understand, instructor. I will pay attention next time."

"Okay, here's what I'll do. I'll post an announcement in the training camp group later, confiscating your 60,000 basic points for the next three months, so as to give the other trainees an explanation."

"However, the training camp will officially confiscate these 60,000 points from you. I will personally, on behalf of the training camp, return the confiscated 60,000 points to you in one lump sum. But you must not publicize this matter or mention it to anyone else, understand?" Ding Haiyan said.

"Thank you for your kindness, instructor, but I violated the training camp rules, so it's only right that I accept the punishment. There's no need to make up for the points, is there?"

"You should still get the supplements; you don't need to refuse, because geniuses should enjoy preferential treatment wherever they are."

Furthermore, how can an ordinary student compare to a genius with such immense potential as you?

For the training camp, a hundred ordinary students are not as valuable as you. Why would they punish a genius student because of an ordinary one?

This is an unspoken rule that the training camp has always followed: it can be done, but it can't be said, otherwise the ordinary trainees will definitely harbor resentment.

Chief Instructor Ding Haiyan spoke eloquently.

Chen Lie simply nodded slightly in response.

He knew, of course, that he wouldn't be punished. Even if he were, it would just be a symbolic touch, a mere formality. He never imagined that even that formality wouldn't be necessary.

This is not surprising, because he knows that no talent training institution, whether on Blue Star or in Outer Stars, would offend a genius with great potential, let alone offend a genius for the sake of a mediocre person, unless the person in charge of the institution is out of their mind.

Ding Haiyan added, "Alright, it's lunchtime now, so I won't keep you from going to the restaurant."

I will post a punishment announcement for you in the training camp group later, so please be prepared.

As for the promised compensation of 60,000 points, I will transfer it directly to your Student Card through the training camp's Superbrain shortly.
