Class Reunion

Feng Shuangshuang replied, "It's still over 500 calories, not yet breaking 600."

"Oh? Have you hit a bottleneck?"

It's been two months, and it still hasn't broken 600?

"Yes, yes, I've hit a minor roadblock." Feng Shuangshuang nodded.

"It's alright. Martial arts training emphasizes gradual progress. Don't rush it. As long as we overcome this small bottleneck, I believe we can definitely make rapid progress," Yang Huixian added.

As she spoke, Yang Huixian maneuvered the airship to land outside Chen Lie's house.

"Chen Lie, we've arrived at your house. There shouldn't be anyone home at this hour, so I won't walk you back."

Chen Lie grunted and said, "Okay, Auntie, you can let me go down by myself."

Chen Lie spoke, he stepped off the airship.

As soon as he stepped off, the airship took off again and flew into the distance.

On the airship, Yang Huixian asked Feng Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, now that your aunt has personally come to our home, please take good care of Chen Lie during the training camp."

"Mom, please stop talking. With Chen Lie's abilities, why would he need me to take care of him?"

"Hmm? How strong is Chen Lie?"

"Chen Lie's Blood Qi Value is at least in the four digits, which already meets the standards for the Provincial Youth Genius Group."

Upon hearing her daughter's words, Yang Huixian was immediately shocked and asked, "How is that possible? How could Chen Lie's martial arts be so advanced?"

"Chen Lie told me that he had been hiding it all along, and that his aunt probably didn't understand Chen Lie's martial arts skills either, otherwise she wouldn't have asked me to look after Chen Lie." Yang Huixian remained silent for a long time before asking, "Are you sure you're not mistaken about what you're saying?"

"There's absolutely no mistake. Chen Lie is currently number one among the hundreds of students in the Genius Training Camp, and all the students and instructors know this."

After her initial shock, Yang Huixian thought for a moment and said, "Since Chen Lie arts achievements are so good, you can ask him for some pointers."

Wouldn't that help you overcome your bottleneck?

"I'll find an opportunity later."

Seeing Feng Shuangshuang's expression, Yang Huixian immediately said, "If you're too shy to ask, I'll go find him."

Feng Shuangshuang quickly said, "Don't go, I'll go by myself."

Yang Huixian turned her head away after hearing her daughter's answer.

She was surprised; she hadn't seen Chen Lie for almost three years.

When Chen Lie was in junior high school, before he applied for the Martial Arts Department, he seemed ordinary. But no one expected that he would have such outstanding martial arts talent.

With a blood energy level of 1,000 kcal, reaching the standard of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, in a family like theirs, this would be considered a source of great pride and honor.

On the other side, Chen Lie pushed open the door and went home, only to find that the house was indeed empty.

After looking around his room, Chen Lie went to the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV to watch the Blue Star Times.

Chen Lie spent the morning reading the Blue Star Times on the sofa. In the afternoon, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Xingyao walked into the house.

Chen Xingyao, who had just entered the house, was a little surprised to see the commotion. When she got closer, she saw Chen Lie watching TV on the sofa, and her face immediately lit up with joy.

"Brother, why are you back?"

Chen Lie also noticed Chen Xingyao and said, "Yes, the training camp is on holiday, and all the trainees have returned."

Chen Xingyao quickly went over and asked, "Brother, what's the Genius Training Camp like?"

"It's similar to a school, except the martial arts resources are a bit more each month."

"Um."

After Chen Xingyao nodded, she said, "Brother, because of the Body Tempering Technique you taught me, my Blood Qi Value has now exceeded 30."

Card.

It's only been a month! That's so fast!

"Thirty calories a month is considered slow, don't be surprised."

Chen Xingyao added, "But that Free Star Dollar Card you gave me, worth ten million Star Dollar, now only has a little over seven million Star Dollar left."

"It's alright, the money is for improving your martial arts. If you find suitable resources, just buy them."

Chen Xingyao nodded heavily.

"By the way, brother, you guys are on holiday, why didn't you tell Mom to pick you up?"

"Picking me up and dropping me off is too much trouble, so I came back myself."

"Um, is it really okay that my Blood Qi Value are increasing so quickly?"

Chen Lie said, "There won't be any problems. Come back to me when your strength has dropped significantly, and I'll teach you a Outer Star Secret Technique to boost your strength."

"Okay!"

Before long, Feng Yuelan also returned home.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, she exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Lie, why are you back? Did you take leave?"

Chen Liedao, "No, the training camp is on holiday."

"You're on annual leave? How long is it?"

"The specifics are unclear yet; the instructor will let us know when the time comes."

Feng Yuelan nodded and then asked, "How's it going at the training camp? Has your martial arts performance improved?"

"That's great. His martial arts have improved significantly, and I estimate he'll be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group after the New Year."

"Yes, as long as it improves significantly, that's good."

After Feng Yuelan finished speaking, she suddenly felt something was amiss and couldn't help but ask, "What did you say? You'll be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group after the New Year?"

"Yes."

Do you know how many spots are available for the Provincial Youth Genius Group?

They seem to be only in their twenties or thirties. These people have all competed their way up from among tens of millions of their peers.

The threshold for the Provincial Youth Genius Group has always been very high. Even your cousin Chen Ying didn't make it back then. You've set your sights too high to be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group after the New Year, haven't you?"

"Mom, I'm almost ready to be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group."

The training camp instructors suggested that I be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group as soon as possible.

"What? Are you sure you're not joking?" Feng Yuelan was still somewhat skeptical.

"Of course not."

"So, what's your Blood Qi Value? What's the Blood Qi Value requirement for being promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

"The standard for promotion to the Provincial Youth Genius Group is 1,000 calories of Qi and Blood. I'd say I have a little over 900 calories of Blood Qi Value right now."

"How much did you say?" Feng Yuelan thought she had misheard.

I said I currently have about 900 calories of Qi and blood.

"How is this possible? Didn't you only have 200 calories of Blood Qi Value? How did it become more than 900 calories in just one month?"

"Could the Genius Training Camp really be that amazing?" Feng Yuelan asked incredulously.

"Mom, it's not the Genius Training Camp that's amazing, it's the Outer Stars Martial Arts Knowledge I've acquired that's amazing."

As he spoke, Chen Lie said to Chen Xingyao beside him, "Yaoyao, tell Mom, what's your current Blood Qi Value?"

Chen Xingyao walked over and said, "Mom, my Blood Qi Value has broken through double digits, reaching 32.78 calories."

"What? Your Blood Qi Value is in the double digits, and it's reached 32.78 calories?" Feng Yuelan was even more shocked.

"Yes, these are the measurements I took at the Martial Arts Hall school yesterday. They're even recorded on the Dongchuan Martial Arts Hall website," Chen Xingyao said.

Overwhelmed by the immense joy, Feng Yuelan was momentarily bewildered and asked, "What happened to you two? Why have your Blood Qi Value increased so dramatically?"

This can hardly be described as a leap forward.

At Chen Xingyao's age, with Blood Qi Value over thirty calories, he is definitely at the level of a top martial arts genius on Blue Star. Even families with slightly less means could not possibly cultivate such an outstanding martial arts genius.

"Mom, it was my brother who taught me a set of Outer Stars Body Tempering Technique before he entered the Genius Training Camp."

How should I put it? This Body Tempering Technique is practically cheating. I only need to teach Body Tempering Technique for a few hours each day, and my Blood Qi Value will increase by two or three cards.

"In just one month, my Blood Qi Value exceeded 30 calories," Chen Xingyao explained.

"Chen Lie, what Body Tempering Technique did you teach your sister?" Feng Yuelan asked Chen Lie again.

Chen Liedao, "Mom, do you remember I said I received guidance from a great figure from Outer Stars?"

Actually, this important figure is even more powerful than we imagined. He comes from the Central Galactic Empire, and the Martial Arts Knowledge he passed on to me...

"That's enough for me, with my unparalleled strength on Blue Star, to get into Blue Star University."

Feng Yuelan exclaimed in shock, "Who is this person? Just by imparting some Martial Arts Knowledge, you have achieved such success?"

"A very, very important person, many times stronger than Martial Arts Grandmaster."

Feng Yuelan instructed, "If you ever see this important person again, be sure to thank him properly."

"I know." Chen Lie nodded, then added, "Mom, you have to be careful not to let this get out, otherwise our family will be in big trouble."

"Don't worry, does Mom need you to remind her?"

After saying that, Feng Yuelan added, "You've worked hard at the training camp these past few days. Take a rest in the living room, and Mom will make you a big dinner."

After saying that, Feng Yuelan went to the kitchen.

Chen Lie continued reading the Blue Star Times on the sofa.

Before long, her mother, Feng Yuelan, had prepared a sumptuous dinner with a full table of food.

After washing his hands, Chen Lie sat down at the dining table.

Feng Yuelan pushed all the dishes that Chen Lie Chen Lie liked to eat next to him.

"Eat up, your dad'll be back in a couple of days. He'll be ecstatic when he hears about your achievements."

Even Chen Ying failed to join the Provincial Youth Genius Group back then. If you succeed, your father won't feel inferior to your uncle and the others.

Chen Xingyao then said, "Mom, I'm sure I'll be able to join the Provincial Youth Genius Group in the future. When we have two outstanding talents from the same family, it will definitely make Dad very proud."

Feng Yuelan smiled and said, "Okay, eat up."

After finishing his meal, Chen Lie returned to his room.

That night, Chen Lie once again practiced the Star Constellation Visualization Method of the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter> in order to strengthen his Mental Power.

The next day, before Chen Lie even left his room, he heard his Communicator ring.

Upon picking it up, Chen Lie saw that it was his friend Wang Hui calling, so he immediately answered.

"Hello? Wang Hui."

Wang Hui's voice came through the Communicator: "What are you doing, Chen Lie?"

"Nothing much, just staying home."

"Want to hang out? Same place as always?"

"The usual place? Which usual place?"

"No way? It's only been a short time since you last went! You don't even remember the usual place? Come on, to that Virtual Experience Pavilion near the school!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he hung up the call.

After leaving his home, he boarded a Flying Bus and arrived at the experience center that Wang Hui had mentioned.

More than seventy years have passed. Even if Chen Lie has a good memory, he has completely forgotten about this so-called old place.

Upon arriving at the Virtual Experience Pavilion, Chen Lie went straight inside.

Upon entering, they indeed saw Wang Hui experiencing the attractions in the experience center.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Wang Hui immediately said, "Chen Lie, I was just playing this Interstellar Voyage. The realism of this experience is off the charts! Do you want to try it too?"

"I'm done playing. Are you done playing? What did you call me for?"

I have something to ask you.

Wang Hui asked, "Did you see the notification in the group chat?"

What group?

"It's our junior high school group. We were almost all classmates in the first, second, and third years of junior high. Before we applied to the Martial Arts Department entrance exam, someone created a junior high school group. I remember you were in the group back then, didn't you see it?" Wang Hui asked.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lie immediately took out his Communicator to check.

I clicked on the Green Bubble, scrolled through the friends' groups page, and sure enough, I saw a "Changdong No. 1 Middle School Friends Group".

"I have this group chat, but I've hidden it, so I didn't see the messages. What's wrong?"

Chen Lie was too lazy to open the friend group, so he directly asked Wang Hui,

"It's nothing. Someone in my friends group is organizing a class reunion, and I signed you up. Let's go together," Wang Hui said.

"I've almost forgotten all about my junior high classmates. What would I do there?"

"You've almost forgotten everything? You don't even remember Qin Siyu?" Wang Hui asked.

"I have absolutely no recollection of who this person is."

"Damn it, you're with Lu Qingchan and you've even forgotten Qin Siyu?"

"Watch your words. Lu Qingchan and I don't have the kind of relationship you're describing," Chen Lie explained.

"You didn't find a partner? Then why did I see you two training together at the Martial Arts Hall gym the other day?"

"It was just a coincidence."

"Alright, let's not talk about Lu Qingchan for now. Qin Siyu, you really don't remember, do you?"

"I really don't remember."

"Are you forgetful? Have you forgotten? Qin Siyu was the goddess of all the boys in our class for three years of junior high."

I remember when the third year of junior high school just started, you were falsely accused by Zhang Zongqiang of stealing from him, and it was Qin Siyu who came forward to prove your innocence.

You don't remember this either?

Chen Lie recalled for a moment, and it seemed that such an event did indeed occur, but his memory of it was very faint, and even the person involved could not remember it clearly.

"I think I vaguely remember it."

"That's right. Back then, everyone applied for the Martial Arts Department, and the whole Credit went to many Martial Arts High School in East River Province."

It is said that Qin Siyu went to Cloud River Province with her parents and only recently returned. She also replied to the message in the class group, saying that she would probably attend this class reunion.

"I wonder how Qin Siyu is doing in Cloud River Province? Has she made it into the Elite Class? Cloud River Province's martial arts are far superior to East River Province's. I think with Qin Siyu's temperament, her martial arts achievements must be quite high," Wang Hui said.

Chen Lie glanced at Wang Hui and said, "How's your martial arts progress? You still have time to care about others?"

"I?"

Wang Hui grinned crookedly. "My Blood Qi Value have exceeded 3, I've joined the Elite Class."

So you passed the elite student assessment?

"No, not at all." Wang Hui shook his head and said, "Who the hell invented the elite student assessment? Didn't everyone say that if your Blood Qi Value exceeds 3, you can pass?"

I took the test twice and failed both times.

My dad has some connections, right? He happened to be able to put in a good word for me in this matter. I had him put in a good word for me with the tutor in charge of the assessment, and then the tutor who assessed me was a bit more lenient with my requirements, which is how I got into the Elite Class."

"It's quite an achievement that you were able to get into the Elite Class through your dad's connections."

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just two days ago, thankfully I joined the Elite Class in time, before the holiday."

I heard that in the second half of the senior year, the school will close the pathway for Ordinary Class to advance to Elite Class.

"I guess I just made it onto the last train to the Elite Class," Wang Hui said with a grin.
