The Goddess Filter Shattered

Chen Lie did not react to Qin Siyu's apologetic words.

He had initially thought that exchanging martial arts tips with Qin Siyu would take up too much time, but now his wish had come true.

A group of male students were already jealous that Chen Lie could exchange martial arts tips with Qin Siyu, and now that they saw Chen Lie's plan fail, they couldn't help but gloat.

Faced with this situation, Wang Hui felt somewhat guilty towards Chen Lie, after all, it was he who had just strongly urged Chen Lie and Qin Siyu to make their agreement.

Now that the other party has stood him up in public, causing Chen Lie to lose face, he should bear at least half the responsibility.

"Oh? Siyu, is this also one of our classmates?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked. "Yes," Qin Siyu nodded, "This is Chen Lie."

"Chen Lie? There's someone like that in our class? I have absolutely no recollection of him!"

Fang Xiaoxiao simply shook her head and asked again, "Yunxiao, do you remember?"

"Forgot!"

Qi Yunxiao slowly shook his head.

Qin Siyu said with a smile, "Although we were classmates for three years in junior high school, it all passed in the blink of an eye."

To be honest, although Chen Lie and I were classmates for three years, if it weren't for the other classmates introducing us, I would have almost forgotten him. He didn't leave as deep an impression on me as Qi Yunxiao.

Fang Xiaoxiao chuckled and said, "Of course! Yunxiao is a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, the most elite martial arts resource in East River Province. How can just any Tom, Dick, or Harry compare to him?"

A burst of silvery laughter came from Qin Siyu. She looked at Chen Lie, seemingly considering Chen Lie feelings, and explained, "Chen Lie, don't mind her, Xiaoxiao was just joking."

You should remember her, right? She liked to tease others back in junior high, but never with malicious intent.

"You can say whatever you want, I'll pretend I didn't hear a thing."

Chen Lie waved his hand; he couldn't be bothered to bother with such a group of short-sighted people.

Fang Xiaoxiao said, "Siyu, what are you explaining?"

If a guy can't even handle a joke and gets angry, he might as well not live.

The students around them didn't seem to care.

Students in the Genius Training Camp are naturally not qualified to be compared with members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Everyone agreed that although Fang Xiaoxiao's words weren't very pleasant, they weren't wrong.

"I'm not going to say anything more, Siyu, do you want to come in and take a look?"

"Me? Can I go in?" Qin Siyu asked blankly.

"Of course, come with me. Let Yunxiao lead us inside," Fang Xiaoxiao said.

Qin Siyu smiled sweetly at Qi Yunxiao: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Qi."

Qi Yunxiao said, "It's just going in to take a look, what trouble could there be? Let's go!"

As soon as Qi Yunxiao finished speaking, he turned and walked into the red line.

"Let's go, Silk Whispers!"

After calling out to Qin Siyu, Fang Xiaoxiao hurriedly followed Qi Yunxiao.

Qin Siyu wanted to follow immediately, but before leaving, she came up to Chen Lie again. "Um-- Chen Lie, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier."

Okay, I'll tell Zhang Zongqiang in the class group chat later. Qi Yunxiao and I will go in, and Zhang Zongqiang will take you in to watch."

After Qin Siyu finished speaking, she didn't wait for Chen Lie's reply and hurriedly followed Qi Yunxiao and Fang Xiaoxiao.

After Qin Siyu left, Wang Hui couldn't help but Chen Liedao, "Damn, if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have come. What did Goddess Qin mean by that?"

It's understandable that he broke his promise; after all, guidance from members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group is a rare opportunity, and it's only natural.

Her comment just now—that she had a deep impression of Qi Yunxiao, whom she had been classmates with for less than a year, but almost forgot about you, whom she had been classmates with for three years—wasn't that a dig at you?

With your insignificance, you highlight Qi Yunxiao's uniqueness.

We're all supporting characters, only Qi Yunxiao is the protagonist?

Chen Lie said, " In the Martial Era, everyone admires strength. Girls admire strength even more than boys, which is understandable."

"I don't understand the problem. I thought Goddess Qin was gentle and generous, and would treat everyone equally."

Even goddesses can't escape the common fate. Sigh, I've finally demystified Qin, and my goddess filter for her has shattered.

"That's right. As long as you're human, you can't avoid emotions and desires. There's no such thing as a goddess or a god, unless—"

At this point, Chen Lie stopped speaking, only expressing himself internally.

Unless one can achieve divine powers in martial arts.

Like a martial arts master at the pinnacle, capable of controlling the lifeline of the Central Galactic Empire, a single kick can make billions of living beings tremble and all races in the starry sky bow their heads.

Such an existence, even if not a god, could be called a god.

Wang Hui continued, "And then there's Fang Xiaoxiao, who indirectly called you a nobody, and said it was just a joke, and that if you got angry, you were petty."

Damn it, how come I never noticed before that she had such a foul mouth?

Why not make jokes like that about Qi Yunxiao?

Chen Lie naturally knew why; Fang Xiaoxiao believed that Chen Lie was not worthy of being compared to Qi Yunxiao, a top martial arts genius from East River Province.

If Chen Lie didn't have enough confidence, he might have felt humiliated, but he was full of confidence, so what just happened was nothing more than a farce by a bunch of clowns to him.

In response to Wang Hui's indignation, Chen Lie simply said, "Alright, I didn't take it to heart, so don't hold it against me either."

You can't see anything from outside the red line, do you still want to look?

"What's the point of staying here if you can't see anything? Let's go!"

Wang Hui shook his head and walked with Chen Lie toward the elevator on the rooftop.

He had only taken two steps when a young man in his thirties emerged from within the red line.

The young man in his thirties, seeing Chen Lie, asked with some surprise, "Chen Lie, what are you doing here?"

Chen Lie also saw the young man in his early thirties. He recognized him at a glance; this young man was Ding Haiyan, the Chief Instructor of the Genius Training Camp.

"Oh, you're an instructor. I'm just wandering around, nothing much," Chen Lie replied.

"Chen Lie, who is this person?" Wang Hui asked, puzzled, upon seeing Ding Haiyan.

Chen Liedao, "He's the Chief Instructor of the Genius Training Camp."

"The Chief Instructor of the Genius Training Camp?"

Wang Hui's eyes widened. This was a big shot! Although he belonged to the Dongchuan Martial Artist Association, his social status was no less than that of a powerful deputy provincial-level official in East River Province.

Ding Haiyan ignored Wang Hui and Chen Liedao, "Today, the Martial Artist Association has invited a martial arts master from another province to examine the teaching results of the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group over the past few days."

I've seen many top trainees at various training camps auditing the classes. Why don't you go and take a look? You might find it helpful."

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui immediately replied, "Teacher, of course we'd like to go and see, but we can't get in."

"Can't get in?"

Ding Haiyan felt something was off, but still said, "Chen Lie, if you want to go in and audit the class, I can take you in."

Hearing this in a low voice, Wang Hui was overjoyed. He Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, why don't you go in and take a look? Since you're already here, consider it broadening your horizons. Of course, if possible, it would be even better if you could give me a ride."

Chen Lie nodded and Ding Haiyan, "Then I'll trouble you, instructor. Also, my friend here would like to come in as well."

Ding Haiyan glanced at Wang Hui and asked Chen Lie, "Is this your friend?"

Then he added, "Alright, if you want to go in, then let's go in together."

After Ding Haiyan, he led Chen Lie and Wang Hui into the red line area.

After stepping inside the red line, Ding Haiyan stared at him and said, "Chen Lie, your identity verification has been completed."

Your abilities have already met the requirements, so I suggest you aim for promotion to the Provincial Youth Genius Group after the New Year.

In a little while, you can try asking this martial arts master from out of town for advice on some problems you encounter in martial arts.

Instructor Wu Yunfei from the training camp is also there; you can get introduced to him through him.

"Okay, I understand." Chen Lie nodded.

"Alright, I'll be going now."

After Ding Haiyan, he turned and left.

Wang Hui asked with a look of disgust, "Chen Lie, what did your instructor just say? Did he want you to join the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "I have met the criteria for being selected for the Provincial Youth Genius Group and can join the Provincial Youth Genius Group at any time."

"Me? You're on a rocket? The standard for the Provincial Youth Genius Group is a four-digit Blood Qi Value, right? You have a four-digit Blood Qi Value?" Wang Hui exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, it already is."

Upon hearing Chen Lie's reply, Wang Hui was immediately shocked by the Outer Stars figure who had given Chen Lie his guidance.

A mere piece of advice can transform someone so completely?

Wang Hui really wanted to ask Chen Lie, "Brother, are you even human? Were you modified by aliens?"

In such a short time, Blood Qi Value increased a thousandfold—is this even possible on Blue Star?

Chen Lie added, "Weren't you insisting on going in to see? Let's go!"

Let's go!

Wang Hui stopped thinking about anything else and walked inside with Chen Lie.

If you walk straight ahead from the red line entrance, you'll find a transparent glass wall.

Inside the glass wall is a space that resembles Exchange Arena.

At this moment, the area inside the Tiantan Center of the Chuandu Mansion was already filled with many people.

As soon as Fang Xiaoxiao and Qin Siyu entered the venue, Qi Yunxiao rejoined the ranks of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

"Silk Whisper, the martial arts master's lesson won't start for a while, let's wait a bit."

"Okay!"

Qin Siyu nodded.

Fang Xiaoxiao asked, "You just said you'd be entering the Genius Training Camp after the New Year. When did you return from Cloud River Province?"

"About a week after my annual leave," Qin Siyu replied.

"When we were chatting on Green Bubble before, you said you were qualified to join the Yunchuan Province Genius Training Camp, where the resources and teaching are better. Why did you come back to East River Province?"

"Actually, I also stayed at the Yunchuan Province Genius Training Camp for half a month. It was really too cruel there. The only way to judge people was by their power. The top students frantically plundered the resources of all the students, and the middle students plundered the resources of the bottom students."

If I were to participate in the Genius Training Camp in Cloud River Province, it would be very difficult for me to stand out within three months.

My dad happened to be transferred for work, so I went back to East River Province with him.

"Don't worry, our East River Province's Genius Training Camp is far less brutal than Cloud River Province's."

"I'm also from the East River Province Genius Training Camp, but I had to take two months off for some things. We'll both go to the Genius Training Camp to report after the New Year," Fang Xiaoxiao said.

Qin Siyu asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you also a student in the Genius Training Camp? Do you know what the strength of the top students in the Genius Training Camp is like?"

"My current Blood Qi Value is over 470 calories, and my Strength Value is 3.3 times. What level am I at in the East River Province Genius Training Camp?"

"Our Blood Qi Value are about the same. I have 450 Blood Qi Value, Strength Value is 3.2 times lower than yours. With our strength, we would probably be considered to be in the middle level among the hundreds of trainees in the training camp."

As for the strength of the top trainees in the Genius Training Camp, I can only say it's terrifying.

Before I took leave, the top student in the Genius Training Camp Ning Xingchen. It was said that his Blood Qi Value was close to four digits, and he could withstand more than a hundred moves without being defeated in a duel with members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Ning Xingchen seems to have already advanced to the Provincial Youth Genius Group, but below Ning Xingchen, there are still two or three students whose Blood Qi Value have exceeded 900, and they are not far from the standard of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

"That's amazing?"

Qin Siyu was surprised. Over nine hundred units of Qi Blood Qi Value would make someone a top student even in the Yunchuan Province Genius Training Camp.

"Hehe, I'll introduce you to a top ten genius from the Genius Training Camp in a bit."

Don't worry, with such a strong person looking after us, we can just focus on our training at the Genius Training Camp and won't be bullied."

Fang Xiaoxiao said.

"OK!"

Qin Siyu nodded, a look of anticipation appearing on her pretty face.

"By the way, Siyu, I haven't asked you yet."

I used to look at our junior high school classmates' group chat often, and I found that more than half of them weren't even Elite Student.

These people will definitely end up at the very bottom of Blue Star, living in a completely different world from us. How can you still have the leisure to attend some class reunion?

"We're all classmates, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"

"It's just telling the truth, what's wrong with that?" Fang Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly.

Qin Siyu sighed and said, "I just returned to East River Province and don't know anyone, so I was thinking of contacting my classmates."

However, what you just said is somewhat biased. In our class, there is also a student from the Genius Training Camp, who was also the first place winner in the Provincial Key High School high school's martial arts competition, named Chen Lie.

"Chen Lie? That name sounds familiar."

Fang Xiaoxiao thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head. "Who cares about Chen Lie or Wang Lie, they're nowhere near as good as Yunxiao anyway."

Qin Siyu nodded in agreement. "Qi Yunxiao is a true martial arts genius in East River Province; naturally, not just anyone can compare to him."

Fang Xiaoxiao and Qin Siyu waited in place for about ten minutes. When they saw the people in the venue starting to disperse, Fang Xiaoxiao immediately led Qin Siyu over.

"Silk Whisper, as I mentioned earlier, I wanted to introduce you to a top-three expert from the Genius Training Camp. He's here now, let's go over."

Qin Siyu asked, "Who is it? Is it your friend? I feel quite awkward, maybe I shouldn't go?"

Fang Xiaoxiao replied, "What's there to be embarrassed about? Your father's position has already been finalized. He's Provincial Councilor and concurrently serves as the director of the East River Provincial Government's Administrative Department. The person I'm introducing you to has a father who's a deputy director, half a rank lower than your father. So don't be embarrassed; it's not like we're completely unrelated."

"Oh."

Upon hearing Qin Siyu understood the situation and walked over with Fang Xiaoxiao.

Fang Xiaoxiao walked ahead and arrived at the exit of the crowd, where she stood guard.

Upon spotting a young boy, he immediately called out, "Qiu Yongfeng, over here!"

The boy saw Fang Xiaoxiao and immediately went over to her.

"Xiaoxiao? Did you need something?"

"Let me introduce you to someone," Fang Xiaoxiao said to the young man. "This is my classmate, Qin Siyu."

You're surely familiar with her father; he's Director Qin, the Provincial Councilor who was recently transferred to East River Province.

The young man immediately said, "Oh, it's Qin, hello."

Fang Xiaoxiao then introduced, "Siyu, his name is Qiu Yongfeng. His father and my father are cousins, so we are related by blood."

Qiu Yongfeng's Blood Qi Value is over 800 calories, but his aptitude isn't actually that much higher than ours, because he's half a year older than us.

Qin Siyu nodded and smiled at her, saying, "Hello."

With over 800 calories of Blood Qi Value, even though he's half a year older than them, that's already quite impressive.

"Qiu Yongfeng, what were you doing inside just now? When does the martial arts master's lecture start?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked.

"The class is about to start. I went with my friends to ask that martial arts master for guidance, so I just came out," Qiu Yongfeng said.

"How can someone who isn't a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group consult with a martial arts master?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked.

Qiu Yongfeng said, "The top students in the Genius Training Camp are eligible, but those whose Blood Qi Value are far from four digits are definitely not qualified to ask for guidance."
