Chuandu Grand Banquet

Zhang Zongqiang: "Silk language, the Provincial Key High School of East River Province is not as Provincial Key High School of Yunchuan Province."

The top martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province Key High School has at most 300 units of Qi and Blood, which is incomparable to the martial arts-rich Cloud River Province.

Qin Siyu: "Oh, then we can still exchange martial arts techniques."

After replying once, Qin Siyu didn't reply again.

Chen Lie didn't bother to reply. He wouldn't waste time exchanging martial arts knowledge with anyone. Exchanging knowledge with someone of this level would be completely useless to him.

After leaving the group chat, Chen Lie tossed the Communicator aside.

After practicing the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter> for a while, Chen Lie fell asleep immediately.

The next day, after washing up, Chen Lie took out a piece of Nutrient Bread from the refrigerator and ate it.

Just then, there was a knock on his door.

Chen Lie was about to get up, Chen Xingyao said, "I'll go take a look!"

Chen Xingyao arrived at the door, opened it, and saw Wang Hui standing outside.

"Um—I'm looking for Chen Lie."

Wang Hui actually knew Chen Xingyao; he used to frequently visit Chen Lie's home to see Chen Lie.

However, every time he met Chen Xingyao, he would be criticized and berated by him, who believed that he was the one who had hindered Chen Lie's martial arts career.

Wang Hui was a man of principle, and faced with Chen Xingyao's harsh words, he gradually stopped visiting Chen Lie's house as often.

"Come in, my brother's eating."

Chen Xingyao nodded and stepped aside to let him in.

"Huh?"

Wang Hui found it strange.

How come Chen Lie's formidable younger sister has become so gentle? She's not even being sarcastic or sarcastic towards him anymore?

With a question in mind, Wang Hui entered Chen Lie's house and, sure enough, saw Chen Lie eating Nutrient Bread.

"Chen Lie, why are you still eating bread here?"

As soon as he entered, Wang Hui went straight to Chen Lie.

"Have some breakfast, would you like some?"

Wang Hui immediately waved his hand in refusal. "I won't eat. I need to save room for the Chuandu Grand Banquet."

I advise you not to eat anymore. The Chuandu Grand Banquet is said to be the highest-standard catering establishment in East River Province. The wine there is brewed with Spirit Medicine, and they even have Beast Bone Wine of fifth-tier Exotic Beast. Wouldn't it be better to have a hearty meal then? Why bother gnawing on this dry bread?"

Chen Xingyao asked, "Brother, are you going to the Chuandu Grand Banquet? Is it the Chuandu Grand Banquet that only high-ranking officials and nobles can attend?"

"Yes, I'm going to a class reunion," Chen Lie replied.

"They're having a class reunion there."

Without even thinking, Chen Xingyao was certain that the person who organized this gathering was no ordinary person.

If it were anything else, she'd like to go with her brother, but she'd rather not go for the class reunion.

After Chen Lie finished his bread, Wang Hui immediately said, "Alright, one piece of bread is enough. We'll have a better Chuandu Grand Banquet later."

Chen Lie didn't plan to eat any more, and after hearing Wang Hui's words, he put the remaining Nutrient Bread back.

Once your Blood Qi Value reach several hundred or even a thousand calories, the first priority is to maintain your nutrition.

The Blood Qi Value does not only increase and never decrease. If there is insufficient nutrition, it will not only not increase, but will actually decrease.

Once you reach this stage in martial arts, it's a matter of either progressing or regressing.

"Let's go then!"

As Chen Lie spoke, he walked out of the house with Wang Hui.

As soon as Chen Lie stepped out of his house, he immediately saw a white airship.

Wang Hui arrived at the white airship and opened its hatch.

"Chen Lie, let's get on the airship."

Chen Lie nodded and boarded the airship one after the other with Wang Hui.

After the airship's cabin door closed automatically, it immediately took off.

Onboard the airship, Wang Hui activated the automatic driving mode.

"Chen Lie, did you see it in the group chat yesterday? That bastard Zhang Zongqiang is threatening us."

Chen Liedao, "I saw it. Weren't you afraid?"

wide,

Wang Hui chuckled awkwardly twice, "I wasn't afraid at first, but Zhang Zongqiang's dad happens to be my dad's boss."

His father was Provincial Councilor and governed Changdong, while my father was the Changdong Municipal Commerce Director. His father happened to be in charge of my father.

"Oh, that's not a big problem. Didn't Qin Siyu say in the group that if Zhang Zongqiang causes you trouble, you can just go to her?"

"What the hell do you take me for?"

Ask Qin Siyu for help? How could I possibly swallow that pride?

"Didn't you always pride yourself on being thick-skinned? You even said that being thick-skinned is an advantage in modern society, so why are you so embarrassed now?"

"How can that be the same?"

Chen Liedao, "Alright, if Zhang Zongqiang really causes you trouble, tell me, and I'll help you figure something out."

"You think you can handle Zhang Zongqiang? His father is Provincial Councilor."

"It should be fine. Just let me know when the time comes."

"There are actually benefits to attending Genius Training Camp?"

Wang Hui found it unbelievable. To be fair, Chen Lie's family background was far inferior to his own, after all, his father was a deputy mayor-level official in Changdong City.

Now that Chen Lie has joined the Genius Training Camp, has he suddenly gained this connection?

The airship soon arrived at the location of the Chuandu Grand Banquet, the most prosperous region in East River Province.

Wang Hui landed the airship in the plaza outside the Chuandu Mansion.

Chen Lie and Wang Hui disembarked from the airship and immediately saw the magnificent building in front of them.

It was a skyscraper over a hundred stories high, nearly a thousand meters tall, reaching straight into the Yunxiao, with four large golden characters on top: "Chuandu Grand Banquet".

"We're here, let's go in!"

Wang Hui walked ahead and arrived at the entrance of the Chuandu Grand Banquet with Chen Lie.

As soon as the two arrived at the entrance, they were immediately stopped by two security guards.

"Halt! This is the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel. Do you have Invitation Letter? Entry is prohibited without Invitation Letter."

Wang Hui said, "We have a reservation. Please check the names. My name is Wang Hui, and his is Chen Lie."

Please wait a moment.

After the security guard finished speaking, he immediately went to the front desk to confirm.

A short while later, the security guard returned.

"You may go in, but your identities will be those of the true guests accompanying the Chuandu Grand Banquet."

Once inside, do not wander around freely. Contact your guests as soon as possible so they can guide you.

"Okay, we understand," Wang Hui replied.

Please come in.

The two security guards made way for Chen Lie and Wang Hui to enter.

Upon entering the Chuandu Mansion, Wang Hui immediately felt extremely uncomfortable, appearing breathless and uneasy.

Noticing Wang Hui's unusual behavior, Chen Lie asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Hui said, "This place is too high-end; I'm a little nervous."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lie stopped paying attention to Wang Hui.

The message in the group chat was for everyone to meet on the first floor of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Although the appointed time hasn't arrived yet, it's not far off; by now, some people must have already arrived.

After walking around half the ground floor of the spacious hotel, Chen Lie finally spotted a dozen or so students around seventeen or eighteen years old in a corner.

"Finally found the main group."

Wang Hui saw the group of students, immediately walked over, found someone he knew among them, and greeted them.

"Wang Hui?"

A boy walked up to Wang Hui.

"It's me, it's me. I haven't changed much in the past three years."

"Is that Chen Lie next to you?" The boy looked at Chen Lie next to Wang Hui.

Wang Hui said, "It's Chen Lie. What? You don't recognize him after all these years?"

"Chen Lie has changed quite a bit."

The boy said, "Chen Lie, I'm Guo Yundong, do you remember me?"

Chen Lie didn't remember much, but he still nodded.

"I told you, we used to have such a good relationship, how could you forget me?"

I heard from Wang Hui that your school won first place in the Provincial Key High School high school's martial arts competition?

That's really impressive. To be number one in the school's martial arts competition, your Blood Qi Value must be over 200. Unlike me, I'm struggling to even get into the Elite Class, and I'm still stuck in the Ordinary Class.

Guo Yundong said, letting out a sigh.

"You haven't joined the Elite Class yet? What's your Blood Qi Value?" Wang Hui asked.

Guo Yundong said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, but my Blood Qi Value is less than 1, only 0.97 calories."

Wang Hui said, "Only 0.97 calories? Wow, that's so low? You must have been addicted to the Virtual Experience Pavilion these past few years and haven't been practicing martial arts properly."

Guo Yundong gave a wry smile. Addicted to the Virtual Experience Pavilion?

That's not the case. He has worked hard over the past few years, but his aptitude is too weak. He has been practicing a C-Rank Martial Art for two years and still can't even get the basics right. Otherwise, his Blood Qi Value at least be over 1 by now.

"I don't participate in the Virtual Experience Pavilion because I'm not good enough at it. My parents are going crazy over my grades."

Now it seems like even getting into a mediocre martial arts university in the province will be difficult for me.

Wang Hui couldn't help but scoff, saying, "Actually, martial arts isn't the only way out. Look, there are plenty of people on Blue Star who don't pursue martial arts."

At this moment, a slightly raised voice rang out. "Wang Hui, Chen Lie, how dare you two show your faces?"

A male student walked over there.

Upon seeing the boy, Wang Hui's anger flared instantly. "Damn it, Xie Bing, what the hell do you mean?"

The male student named Xie Bing asked, "What do I mean?"

Today, all of you students are able to come to this legendary Chuandu Grand Banquet and broaden your horizons, all thanks to Qiang Ge. You two, instead of being grateful, fine, but...

He even dared to speak rudely to Brother Qiang in the group chat.

"If I were you, would I have the nerve to come here and eat and drink for free?"

"Xie Bing, you really are Zhang Zongqiang's good dog. Even Zhang Zongqiang himself hasn't said anything, but you're already barking like a dog."

"Damn it, Wang Hui, say that again!"

Xie Bing flew into a rage and rushed up to Wang Hui, intending to slap him.

At this moment, Chen Lie stepped forward and, before Xie Bing could react, grabbed Xie Bing by the neck and lifted him into the air.

Xie Bing's face turned pale the moment his feet left the ground.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself."

As Chen Lie spoke, he threw Xie Bing heavily to the ground.

With a thud, Xie Bing, who had fallen to the ground, quickly got up, his eyes filled with fear and resentment as he looked at Chen Lie.

Wang Hui sneered, "Are you an idiot? Xie Bing, let me tell you the truth, Chen Lie is a trainee in the Genius Training Camp now, and his Blood Qi Value are less than a fraction of yours."

You still want to act like a bully, relying on your connections to cause trouble by currying favor with Zhang Zongqiang? I think you should save your breath.

If you're not afraid of getting beaten up, come on!

Xie Bing's face turned ashen upon hearing Wang Hui's words, but considering Chen Lie's strength, he did not refute them.

This prompted a discussion among the dozen or so students nearby.

"What did Wang Hui just say? Chen Lie joined the Genius Training Camp?"

"It seems that someone among us actually managed to get into the Genius Training Camp?"

"Didn't the group say that Chen Lie was the number one in the school's martial arts competition? He's the number one in the Provincial Key High School high school's martial arts competition, so he's definitely going to join the Genius Training Camp."

After a brief murmur subsided, many of the dozen or so students began to approach Chen Lie, and Chen Lie dealt with them all.

Several girls wanted to add Chen Lie as a friend on his Green Bubble account, and Chen Lie didn't refuse.

Upon seeing this, Wang Hui couldn't help but say, "Wow, Chen Lie, with your martial arts achievements improving, you're attracting a constant stream of ladies' favor. Look at that!"

Just by standing here, several girls will come up to you wanting your Green Bubble type of hair accessory).

"Try it in a little while, see if you can get to know Qin Siyu better."

Chen Lie simply shook his head. "Don't say that, lest others overhear and spread it around, and people who don't know better might think I have feelings for Qin Siyu."

"No, is it strange that they have feelings for Qin Siyu? Of all the guys here, which one doesn't have feelings for Qin Siyu?"

Hey Chen Lie, what are you pretending for in front of me? We're all men, we all know each other!"

Chen Lie stopped talking to Wang Hui.

Because Wang Hui's thoughts were exactly the same as his own at this age in his previous life.

But now he has over a hundred years of life experience, has witnessed the vastness of Yuding, and has a broad perspective.

A small Changdong City has a Qin Siyu; how many cities are there in East River Province? How many provinces are there on Blue Star? How many life-bearing planets like Blue Star are there in the Canglan Star Domain?

Qin Siyu is certainly extremely precious in Changdong City, but in a star system, she might be as insignificant as a speck of dust.

And Chen Lie's future extends far beyond just the Canglan Star Domain.

It was exactly 11:00 AM.

There were already 23 people in this corner on the first floor of Chuandu Grand Banquet Hall.

"Oh, it seems all the students have arrived."

At that moment, a blond-haired boy walked over.

Xie Bing saw the blond-haired boy and quickly went over to him.

"Brother Qiang, you're finally here! I've been waiting for over two hours."

The blond-haired boy laughed and said, "I told you to meet at 11 o'clock, but I didn't tell you to come this early."

"We came this early because we wanted to. Brother Qiang used his connections to let us see the world. Who would want to be late?"

The blond-haired boy said, "The reason I arrived so late is to greet Goddess Qin."

Everyone, please welcome Qin Siyu, Qin.

As he spoke, the blond-haired boy drew everyone's attention to the transparent screen beside him.

A girl with her hair half-tied into a bun walked out from behind the transparent screen.

The girl had an elegant and refined appearance. She gave everyone a sweet smile and waved gently, saying, "Hello, everyone."

"Wow, it really is Goddess Qin!"

"Girls really do change a lot as they grow up, becoming more and more beautiful. Three years have passed, and Goddess Qin's beauty is even greater than before; she can't even compare to our school's most beautiful girl."

"Hello, Goddess Qin, I'm Jiang Qizhen. Do you remember me?"

Among the more than 20,000 people, more than 10,000 male students enthusiastically went to greet them.

Qin Siyu said, "Classmates, this is a public area in the hall, let's not be too messy, okay?"

"If you have anything to say, you can go to the private room to talk."

The blond-haired boy said, "I've booked a large private room on the 7th floor. Please follow me."

As he spoke, the blond-haired boy walked ahead and took the elevator.

A group of students followed the blond-haired boy onto the elevator.

Chen Lie calmly followed the crowd onto the elevator.

Soon after, the group of 25,000 people arrived at the private room on the seventh floor of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Inside the private room was a large round table that could accommodate 20,000 to 30,000 people.

The students then sat down around the round table.

The blond boy sat in the main seat on the east side of the round table, looked around at the more than 20,000 students, and said, "There are about 40 people in our class, and more than half of them are here today."

Have Chen Lie and Wang Hui arrived yet?
