Chen Lie jumped off the Duel Platform and glanced at the students watching Duel Platform. The students quickly avoided his gaze; many of them had been watching Chen Lie earlier. Facing Chen Lie Chen Lie, they instinctively felt guilty, worried that Chen Lie would notice them.

This will invite retaliation.

Chen Lie defeated Ning Xingchen and can now be considered the king of the hundreds of students in the East River Province Genius Training Camp, and the god of all the students under the camp's instructors. If he attracts the revenge of such a being, then they will no longer be able to stay in the Genius Training Camp.

Below the Duel Platform, Ning Xingchen looked at Chen Lie walking straight towards her and straightened her expression.

"I really didn't expect you to master an S-rank martial art. Your strength has already reached the threshold for advancing to the Provincial Youth Genius Group, right? There's no point in us competing like this. How long can you stay in the Genius Training Camp?"

Chen Lie said, "Then that's none of your business."

What's your attitude?

Lu Qingying snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think that Xingchen's strength is inferior to yours?"

That's because the Chief Instructor had said beforehand that he would stop short of making a point.

"But Xingchen mainly masters martial arts with high destructive power; otherwise, in a real fight, would you be a match for him?"

Chen Lie ignored Lu Qingying; he just felt that this woman was a bit eccentric.

Ning Xingchen said, "The agreement from before remains unchanged. What are your requests? Tell us inside."

Chen Lie remained silent and followed the Star Alliance members into the Council Chamber.

Council Chamber, Chen Lie found a seat at the conference table and sat down.

The core members of the Star Alliance also took their seats.

Ning Xingchen approached Chen Lie: "Tell me, what do you want?"

Chen Lie said directly, "I want you to leave the Star Alliance, and I will take over as the Alliance Leader."

Of course, I can't be bothered with your mess. You just need to hand over the protection money you collect from all the trainees each month.

As soon as Chen Lie spoke, several core members of the Star Alliance looked at Chen Lie in disbelief.

Lu Qingying, in particular, was so shocked that she sat bolt upright, pointing at Chen Lie: "What did you say? You want Xingchen to withdraw from the Star Alliance? Do you know that the Star Alliance exists because of Xingchen?"

What a boastful tone!

"Xiaoying, you don't need to take this so seriously anymore."

At this moment, Ning Xingchen suddenly said, "Actually, I have some news that I haven't told everyone yet. I passed the verification of the Provincial Youth Genius Group the day before yesterday. I only need to go to the Martial Artist Association to verify my identity, and that will be considered as promotion to the Provincial Youth Genius Group."

Whether I leave the Star Alliance or not is of little significance to me.

"Xingchen, are you really going to be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group?" Lu Qingying was taken aback and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, the Chief Instructor said that the teaching staff of the Provincial Youth Genius Group is ten times stronger than that of the Genius Training Camp. I'm currently wasting my time in the training camp, so they applied for my promotion to the Provincial Youth Genius Group," Ning Xingchen said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingying immediately turned wooden.

The fact that Chen Lie was able to fight Ning Xingchen to this point means that once Ning Xingchen leaves, Chen Lie will be the number one in the training camp, and no one can stop him.

Ning Xingchen nodded to Chen Lie: "Okay, I agree to your request. From now on, you will be the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance."

However, the Star Alliance needs to change its name; you can come up with one yourself.

"No need. The name Star Alliance is good, and most importantly, the students recognize it." Chen Lie refused directly.

He estimated that he wouldn't stay at the Genius Training Camp for long, at most collecting two months' worth of Order Maintenance Fee.

If we can't collect the first month's protection fee because of the name change, then there's no point in doing it.

"The most important thing," Ning Xingchen Chen Liedao, "After I leave, you must treat the brothers of the Star Alliance well."

"I told you, I'm just a figurehead. My job is to hand over the points the students submit each month, and I won't ask about anything else."

Chen Lie wouldn't bother with such a small student organization if it didn't collect hundreds of thousands of points every month.

"Alright, I'm going to the Martial Artist Association to verify my identity tomorrow. The Star Alliance is in your hands now."

Ning Xingchen knew that Chen Lie's strength was not much worse than his own, and once he left, no one in the training camp could stop Chen Lie from doing anything.

Making an agreement beforehand would also test Chen Lie's credibility; if they spoke ill of him, his friends' days at the training camp would likely be unpleasant.

He was number one in the Genius Training Camp, and he knew very well what privileges the number one student in the Genius Training Camp enjoyed here.

It can be said that as long as no one is killed or crippled, the top student in the Genius Training Camp can run rampant and do whatever they want.

After he left, Chen Lie became the king of the Genius Training Camp, the sky above hundreds of students.

"Xingchen, are you leaving tomorrow?" Lu Qingying couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm." Ning Xingchen nodded and said, "Your Blood Qi Value has already exceeded nine hundred. If you practice martial arts diligently, you can be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group in at most two months. I'm waiting for you there now."

"Yes, I will definitely practice martial arts diligently," Lu Qingying replied Zheng Zhong.

"Xiaoying, introduce Chen Lie to some of the core members of the Star Alliance. You need to be careful not to clash with Chen Lie in the future."

Lu Qingying nodded and introduced Chen Lie with a blank expression, "Our Star Alliance has seven core members."

The first one is Xu Congjin, with Blood Qi Value of around 770 calories.

The Xu Congjin is named Qiu Yongfeng, with Blood Qi Value 850 calories.

The last one, named Shang Chuanwu, has already exceeded 900 calories in Blood Qi Value.

As for the other two, you've already dealt with them. Zhao Jinghao and Meng Qiming are both lying in the infirmary right now.

Chen Lie said, "I won't interfere in your affairs. Just let me know when you encounter anything related to protection money collection."

Lu Qingying's face darkened. "That's called Order Maintenance Fee. You're just blatantly calling it a protection fee, which will only provoke resistance from the trainees when they pay."

"Oh, that was a slip of the tongue. It should be 'Order Maintenance Fee '."

Chen Lie exchanged a few words with several core members of the Star Alliance before preparing to leave.

Before leaving, at Ning Xingchen's request, the name of the Star Alliance was changed to the Blazing Sun Alliance.

He didn't want his name to still circulate in the training camp even though he was no longer there.

Most importantly, the Alliance Leader the Star Alliance, who charges all trainees in the training camp a 2,000-point Order Maintenance Fee, actually has a bad reputation and has been cursed by ordinary trainees countless times behind their backs.

After Chen Lie left, Lu Qingying couldn't help but ask Ning Xingchen, "Xingchen, are you really going to hand over the Star Alliance to Chen Lie?"

"And they even changed their name to something like ' Blazing Sun Alliance '?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Once I leave, no one can stop Chen Lie."

If we don't hand it over, he'll try to take it, and we'll lose face then. It's better to agree on it now.

"Also, you need to tell the others not to clash with Chen Lie. I reckon that with his strength, he won't stay in the Genius Training Camp for long," Ning Xingchen instructed.

Lu Qingying nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Within half a day, a message spread throughout the entire training camp.

"Hey, have you heard? Ning Xingchen was defeated in a duel on the Duel Platform."

"What's going on? Isn't Ning Xingchen's Blood Qi Value close to four digits? How could he possibly hold his own against the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

How did we lose?

"I saw it with my own eyes; the person who defeated Ning Xingchen was a man named Chen Lie, who was supposedly a new student."

Inside the restaurant, Feng Shuangshuang, who was eating, was surprised to hear the chatter of the students next to her.

Did Chen Lie defeat Ning Xingchen?

What kind of cousin did her aunt give birth to?

How did he achieve this level of skill at his age?

My aunt isn't from a powerful or wealthy family. To raise a genius with a Blood Qi Value of four digits, even a billion Star Dollar wouldn't be enough.

It was only after entering the Genius Training Camp that her Blood Qi Value was able to increase rapidly, breaking through 500 calories, thanks to the 18,000 base points she earned each month.

You can't practice martial arts without money. A martial arts genius with a four-digit Blood Qi Value is built up with billions of Star Dollar in martial arts resources.

"Hey, Shuangshuang, you're here?"

At this moment, a short-haired girl carrying a tray came to Feng Shuangshuang.

"Qianqian? Is that you?"

Feng Shuangshuang looked up and saw the short-haired girl, and immediately recognized her.

The short-haired girl's name is Wu Qianqian. She entered the training camp with her, and the two had been friends since their school days.

For the past two months, she has been harassed by Liang Xinfeng, making it difficult for her to move around in the training camp. It was only with the secret help of this friend that she was able to live a little more comfortably.

Wu Qianqian put down her plate and sat down opposite Feng Shuangshuang.

"Shuangshuang, your boyfriend is amazing! He actually defeated Ning Xingchen on the Duel Platform."

My goodness, his Blood Qi Value must be in the four digits already!

Feng Shuangshuang immediately corrected her, "Don't talk nonsense, Chen Lie is not my boyfriend."

Wu Qianqian, of course, didn't believe it. "Wouldn't it be your boyfriend who stood up for you in the Point Plunder Battle and even got penalized 60,000 points for you?"

"Is that my cousin?" Feng Shuangshuang sighed softly.

"Cousin?"

Wu Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise. "It's my cousin? That means he's younger than you? Your cousin is so young and already has such talent, he's a genius!"

As she spoke, Wu Qianqian chuckled and said, "Since he's not your boyfriend, how about introducing him to me?"

"Don't even think about it, I think it's unlikely."

Feng Shuangshuang glanced at Wu Qianqian. Although her friend was considered a martial arts prodigy in school, she was definitely not as good as Chen Lie.

There is a significant gap between Martial Arts Student. Martial Arts Student with a four-digit Blood Qi Value has a very, very small chance of getting together with someone whose Blood Qi Value is much lower.

The two are almost not even the same species.

I was just saying.

Wu Qianqian said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, since your cousin even defeated the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, can I benefit from that and not have to pay the Star Alliance the 2,000-point Order Maintenance Fee every month?"

"I don't know either."

Feng Shuangshuang fell into deep thought and asked, "Did you go to watch Chen Lie and Ning Xingchen's duel? How did he win?"

"Your cousin beat Ning Xingchen by a hair's breadth, but I think the two are still evenly matched and their strengths are almost equal."

What? Didn't you go watch the duel?

"No." Feng Shuangshuang shook her head.

"Talk? Your cousin? You didn't even go to watch?"

"I didn't know they would be going up to the Duel Platform. Wasn't Chen Lie supposed to be discussing something?"

"You can tell from the tone of the conversation in that group yesterday that this negotiation definitely won't end well; conflict is inevitable."

Feng Shuangshuang quietly began to eat her meal.

She actually wanted to go see it today, but because of what happened the previous two times, she always felt inferior to Chen Lie.

Although Chen Lie didn't say anything, she could always picture Chen Lie making fun of her.

Seeing Feng Shuangshuang silently begin to eat, Wu Qianqian also stopped talking.

While eating, she suddenly opened the forum of the Genius Training Camp Official Account.

The Genius Training Camp Forum is an open communication platform spontaneously established by students of the Genius Training Camp, but it has been officially certified by the training camp.

The Training Camp Forum has over three thousand registered accounts. Registration requires identity verification, and only Martial Arts Student from East River Province with Blood Qi Value exceeding three digits can register and browse.

The people active on the Genius Training Camp Forum are mostly current or previous trainees, as well as Martial Arts Student students who hope to join the Genius Training Camp.

While browsing through the Training Camp Forum, Wu Qianqian suddenly saw a striking red post.

Effective immediately, the Star Alliance is renamed the Blazing Sun Alliance.

Upon seeing the post, Wu Qianqian was immediately taken aback and clicked on it to view the details.

"Due to certain reasons, the training camp student representative group Star Alliance, was officially renamed Blazing Sun Alliance, with Chen Lie serving as its highest leader."

The core leadership group of the Blazing Sun Alliance consists of seven people: Chen Lie, Lu Qingying, Shang Chuanwu, Qiu Yongfeng, Xu Congjin, Zhao Jinghao, and Meng Qiming.

All other grassroots members will remain unchanged.

There are already hundreds of replies below the post.

"Holy crap, has this been a change of dynasty?"

"The Star Alliance was renamed the Blazing Sun Alliance this afternoon after the competition this morning? That's incredibly fast!"

Where did Ning Xingchen, the former Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance, go?

"Well, now that the Star Alliance no longer exists, does that mean we no longer need to pay the 2,000 points monthly Order Maintenance Fee?"

This Chen Lie must have come up from the bottom ranks, right? He must know how much we ordinary students despise this kind of garbage maintenance fee.

We hope Chen Lie can stand up for us all and fight for our interests, waiving the monthly 2,000 points requirement.

"Upstairs, are you dreaming? Chen Lie is now a beneficiary, the biggest beneficiary of this points-based collection system."

Even if he initially wanted to abolish this ridiculous fee system, now the dragon-slaying boy has become the dragon himself.

You want him to uphold the interests of the public, which means making him sacrifice his own interests. Is that possible?

"Hello everyone, I'm Martial Arts Student City Key High School. My Blood Qi Value has reached the recruitment standard for the Genius Training Camp, and I will be entering the Genius Training Camp after the New Year. I would like to get a feel for the atmosphere of the Genius Training Camp in advance."

What is this "Blazing Sun Alliance" you're talking about? How did it change hands? Did the instructors at the training camp resign?

"Heh heh, anyway, it's nothing good. You'll find out once you get to the training camp."

Wu Qianqian's pupils contracted as she browsed the forum posts, and she couldn't help but slap the table.

"Holy crap, the training camp has changed completely!"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her friend's strange behavior, Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask.

Look at this!

Wu Qianqian handed the Communicator to Feng Shuangshuang, Feng Shuangshuang took Communicator and started reading the post.

A moment later, Feng Shuangshuang's expression turned to shock.

Wu Qianqian then said, "Shuangshuang, your cousin has replaced Ning Xingchen and is now the Alliance Leader of the Star Alliance."

No, it's not the Star Alliance anymore, it's the Blazing Sun Alliance now. By the way, could you help me get acquainted with them and get on their good side?

Feng Shuangshuang returned the Communicator to Wu Qianqian, who was utterly shocked and had only one thought in her mind.

Aunt, do I deserve to be entrusted with the care of such a martial arts prodigy?

Inside the Instructor Dining Hall, He Lin, an instructor from the First Training Department, ordered a meal and ate there.

Not long after, He Lin finished his meal and left the restaurant.

Outside the restaurant, he bumped into Instructor Liu from the Second Training Department.

"Congratulations, Instructor He!"

He Lin asked, puzzled, "Instructor Liu, what's the matter with this joy?"

Instructor Liu was taken aback and asked, "You don't know? It's being said among the students that one of your students from the First Training Department defeated Ning Xingchen on the Duel Platform. This means that your student has the strength of almost all the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group."

Your promotion to the Provincial Youth Genius Group is just around the corner. Then, you can look forward to applying for the Martial Artist Association's genius training bonus.

"Huh? Is that so?" He Lin was taken aback and asked, "Which student from the First Training Department was it? What's their name? How could they defeat Ning Xingchen?"

Even as an instructor, He Lin had heard of Ning Xingchen's reputation; calling him the best in the training camp was no exaggeration. Now, someone in his First Training Department could actually defeat Ning Xingchen? This was truly strange.

Instructor Liu said, "I think his name is Chen Lie? You can ask him later."

"Okay, thank you very much, Instructor Liu."

He Lin nodded, said goodbye to Instructor Liu, and was about to return to his office to find Chen Lie's contact information when he suddenly heard his Communicator ring.

Upon seeing that it was a call from Chief Instructor Ding Haiyan, He Lin immediately answered.

"Instructor He, please come to the Chief Instructor's Office."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

After hanging up the Communicator, He Lin immediately went to the Chief Instructor's office.

Inside the Chief Instructor's office, Ding Haiyan looked at Chen Lie, lost in thought.

"Chen Lie, I've already contacted your training instructor, He Lin, who should be arriving soon."

"Are you really not considering being promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

Chen Lie immediately replied, "I don't plan to join the Provincial Youth Genius Group for the time being, Chief Instructor doesn't need to ask any further."

Ding Haiyan said, "You can reconsider. Your martial arts have already reached a certain level, and the instructors at the Genius Training Camp can no longer provide you with much help in your martial arts."

The Provincial Youth Genius Group is a better fit for you. The renowned instructors there are martial arts masters invited from other provinces by the Martial Artist Association. They all possess unique insights into martial arts and can provide guidance on your many shortcomings.

I'll consider it.

Chen Lie simply nodded.

As soon as he returned to his Dormitory, the Chief Instructor of the training camp contacted him and asked him to go to the Chief Instructor's Office.

As soon Chen Lie arrived, Chief Instructor Ding Haiyan was full of amazement at his martial arts skills and kept urging him to join the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Chen Lie wasn't opposed to joining the Provincial Youth Genius Group, but there was definitely no way to accumulate points within the Provincial Youth Genius Group. He hadn't even had a chance to accumulate points from the Genius Training Camp, so how could he possibly advance to the Provincial Youth Genius Group so easily?
