Qin Siyu asked, "I saw a lot of people inside just now. Were they all students from the Genius Training Camp?"

Qiu Yongfeng said, "It's a small portion. There are also some who didn't join the Genius Training Camp and practice martial arts on their own. These people all have their own training methods. The training methods in the Genius Training Camp are suitable for the general public, but not for these people."

Qin Siyu nodded.

Fang Xiaoxiao asked, "Qiu Yongfeng, Ning Xingchen has been promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group. Is the Star Alliance still in existence? Is it led by that senior Lu Qingying?"

It seems that besides Ning Xingchen, Lu Qingying is the strongest in the Star Alliance, right?

"The Star Alliance— " Qiu Yongfeng pondered for a moment before saying, "It still exists, but it has changed its name. As for the leader—"

Just as Qiu Yongfeng was about to say something, he heard someone calling his name from ahead, so he quickly went over.

Qin Siyu, after hearing half of it, couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxiao, what is the Star Alliance?"

Fang Xiaoxiao explained, "The Star Alliance is a student organization composed of the strongest students in the East River Province Genius Training Camp. These powerful students band together to plunder resources from all the students in the training camp."

The Star Alliance is named after its Alliance Leader Star Alliance, Ning Xingchen.

Qiu Yongfeng is one of the core members of the Star Alliance.

Now that Ning Xingchen, the Alliance Leader the Star Alliance, has been promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group, it's estimated that Senior Lu Qingying has become the new leader of the Star Alliance.

"I see." After hearing the explanation, Qin Siyu asked, "Do you know this senior, Lu Qingying?"

Fang Xiaoxiao said, "To be honest, I'm not very familiar with them either; I've only met them a few times."

Lu Qingying is a true martial arts genius. She's about our age, but she already possesses Blood Qi Value approaching four digits.

They are practically one step away from being promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Moreover, she comes from the Dongchuan Lu Family and is a direct descendant of the Lu Family, so her background is much stronger than yours or mine.

Have you ever heard your father mention the Lu family? The Lu Family Lu Family, the most powerful family in the East River Province military.

"I've naturally heard of the Dongchuan Lu Family," Qin Siyu. "I never expected that this Senior Sister Lu Qingying would not only possess such outstanding martial arts talent..."

"His status is so distinguished."

The Lu Family has hundreds of collateral relatives who are deeply rooted in Dongchuan Province, far exceeding the influence of her father's meager deputy provincial-level position.

What amazed her most was that Lu Qingying, at such a young age, had Blood Qi Value approaching four digits, almost meeting the standard of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, which made her completely convinced.

At this moment, Qiu Yongfeng and several other trainees from the training camp arrived at the viewing area outside the stadium.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Qin Siyu arrived not far from Qiu Yongfeng and the others, waiting for the lesson to begin.

Seeing the group of people next to Qiu Yongfeng, Fang Xiaoxiao whispered to Qin Siyu, "Siyu, look, the girl in the very middle is Senior Lu Qingying."

Qin Siyu nodded and looked at Lu Qingying.

Is this the martial arts genius with Blood Qi Value approaching four digits?

Lu Qingying, who was not far away, also noticed Fang Xiaoxiao and Qin Siyu about her, and her gaze swept over instantly. "Hmm?"

Upon seeing this, Qiu Yongfeng immediately explained, "Sister Ying, this is my friend."

Lu Qingying nodded and hummed in agreement, then looked away and didn't pursue the matter further.

"Qiu Yongfeng, are these all your friends?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked in a low voice.

"Yes," Qiu Yongfeng replied, "They are all core members of the Blazing Sun Alliance, old friends with a close relationship."

Fang Xiaoxiao asked curiously, "What the hell is the Blazing Sun Alliance?"

"I didn't finish telling you earlier. The Star Alliance has changed its name; it's now called the Blazing Sun Alliance," Qiu Yongfeng said.

Fang Xiaoxiao nodded. She had changed her name, but she was still a little confused as to why she had chosen this particular name.

"Silk Whisper, let me tell you, even the core members of these Star Alliance have a minimum of 800 kcal of Blood Qi Value. Among the hundreds of students in the Genius Training Camp, they are considered top-tier."

"Yes, martial arts geniuses all have their own circles. People with high Blood Qi Value will naturally associate with other people with high Blood Qi Value."

Although Qin Siyu really wanted to befriend the martial arts geniuses of East River Province, she knew that these people, whose strength far surpassed hers, had their own small circles, and she wouldn't be able to integrate into them because her martial arts skills weren't up to par.

So she didn't ask her classmates to introduce her.

At that moment, the lesson began inside the room.

A martial arts master in his thirties or forties stepped forward and began speaking to each member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Qin Siyu glanced around and suddenly spotted two familiar figures.

Aren't those Chen Lie and Wang Hui?

As soon as she entered, she tagged Zhang Zongqiang in the classmate group, stating that she had entered the venue and hoping that Zhang Zongqiang would give his extra spot to Chen Lie.

Qin Siyu knew that Chen Lie and Zhang Zongqiang didn't get along, after all, they had a quarrel in the class group yesterday. She had only mentioned it casually and didn't have high hopes that Zhang Zongqiang would bring Chen Lie in, but she didn't expect that Zhang Zongqiang would actually bring Chen Lie in.

In this way, she had done Chen Lie a great favor, and the guilt she felt for canceling their martial arts exchange at the last minute instantly disappeared.

So she waved and called out, "Chen Lie, over here!"

Chen Lie, who had just walked in, saw Qin Siyu waving at him, so he went over to her.

"Qin Siyu, is there something you need from me?"

Qin Siyu found it strange; how come Wang Hui was also in? Could it be that Zhang Zongqiang was actually allowed to bring in two people?

She didn't dwell on it, smiled sweetly, and said, "It's nothing, I just thought the view from here was good, and I wanted to invite Chen Lie to watch the view with me."

Now that she had made amends to Chen Lie, Qin Siyu no longer felt apologetic and spoke to Chen Lie with grace and poise.

"Okay, fine!"

Chen Lie nodded and noticed the people next to Qin Siyu.

It was mostly familiar faces: Lu Qingying, Zhao Jinghao, Shang Chuanwu, Xu Congjin, Meng Qiming, several core members of the Blazing Sun Alliance.

"Goddess Qin, where's Qi Yunxiao? Isn't he with you?" Wang Hui asked as he walked over.

"No," Qin Siyu said with a smile. "Qi is different from us. He's a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group and will be tested on martial arts by a martial arts master."

Although this place offers a wide view and is considered the best viewing spot, the space is limited.

When the members of the Blazing Sun Alliance behind him saw Chen Lie, their expressions changed slightly, and they all looked somewhat uneasy.

Xu Congjin stepped out from the crowd and said to Chen Liedao in a fawning manner, "Brother Lie, you're here too?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

After receiving Chen Lie's reply, Xu Congjin added, "The view is the best here, Brother Lie, why don't you come and look from here!"

"Alright."

Chen Lie did not refuse and came in front of Xu Congjin. Xu Congjin immediately stepped aside to make way for Chen Lie.

What was happening before her eyes puzzled Qin Siyu.

Wasn't this supposed to be full of top students from Genius Training Camp, martial arts prodigies with Blood Qi Value of at least 800 calories?

Why was this person so obsequious to Chen Lie?

Could this be his true nature?

Qin Siyu glanced at Fang Xiaoxiao and noticed that Fang Xiaoxiao also looked puzzled.

However, what happened next completely surprised them.

As Chen Lie walked into the group of martial arts geniuses, everyone seemed to avoid him. Even Lu Qingying, who was originally standing in the center, subtly took a small step back, allowing Chen Lie to take the lead by half a body length.

"This----

Qin Siyu found the scene very strange. At first glance, she thought Chen Lie was the leader of this group.

Chen Lie not only secured the best spot for himself, but also found a similar location for Wang Hui, pushing Meng Qiming aside.

Although Meng Qiming was extremely reluctant to give up his position, he still moved to another spot, looking angry but not daring to speak out.

Lu Qingying, sitting next to Chen Lie, felt extremely uncomfortable and said, "Let's go, let's find another seat."

After saying that, she glared at Qin Siyu with her cold eyes, clearly displeased that Qin Siyu had brought Chen Lie here.

Then, Lu Qingying walked directly into the distance.

Seeing Lu Qingying leave, Zhao Jinghao, Shang Chuanwu, Qiu Yongfeng, and the others followed her and stood with Chen Lie, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Brother Lie, it's too crowded here. We'll clear some space for you and go check out over there." Xu Congjin made a point of saying goodbye to Chen Lie before leaving.

Shang Chuanwu, who was next to Xu Congjin, hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Alliance Leader, let's go."

Chen Lie hummed in agreement, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing so many martial arts geniuses leave after Chen Lie's arrival, Qin Siyu was filled with questions.

Fang Xiaoxiao saw that even Qiu Yongfeng had one, so she immediately chased after him.

"Huh? Xiaoxiao---"

Seeing Fang Xiaoxiao leave, Qin Siyu smiled at Chen Lie and said, "Hey, Chen Lie, I'll go check on him!"

After Chen Lie hummed in response, Qin Siyu quickly caught up with Fang Xiaoxiao.

Wang Hui was baffled. "Chen Lie, why did all these people suddenly leave?"

Chen Liedao, "Why are you meddling so much? Isn't it better to have fewer people?"

"Too!"

Wang Hui didn't press the matter further.

Lu Qingying and the others found a place far away from Chen Lie Chen Lie stood with him. For her, it felt like she was at his mercy, which was really uncomfortable.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Qin Siyu caught up with Qiu Yongfeng.

Fang Xiaoxiao was the first to ask them, "Hey, Qiu Yongfeng, what's going on? Why did you suddenly change locations?"

Qin Siyu also asked, "I think I just heard a senior student address Chen Lie as the Alliance Leader. Could you tell me what happened?"

"It seems you haven't been paying attention to the training camp lately, you've just been taking leave."

That Chen Lie is the new Alliance Leader of the Blazing Sun Alliance, and currently the top-ranked student in the Genius Training Camp.

"What?" Fang Xiaoxiao thought it was unbelievable and her first thought was that she had misheard.

"Chen Lie? He's the top student in the Genius Training Camp?" Qin Siyu also looked incredulous.

"That's right. After Ning Xingchen was promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group, Chen Lie directly took over the Star Alliance and renamed it the Star Alliance Blazing Sun Alliance," Qiu Yongfeng said.

Fang Xiaoxiao said, "But why haven't I ever heard of Chen Lie in the training camp before?"

"If he takes over Alliance Leader, would Senior Sister Lu Qingying be willing? I remember Senior Sister Lu Qingying's Blood Qi Value is already over 900, right?"

"Chen Lie was able to take over the Star Alliance, so his strength naturally surpasses that of everyone else."

Sister Lu is no match for Chen Lie. To be honest, even if all of us combined, we still couldn't defeat Chen Lie.

"Is Chen Lie really that good?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked tremulously. "Let me tell you this, Ning Xingchen, the day before he was to be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group, he went to the Duel Platform stage with Chen Lie."

Chen Lie the contest.

Qin Siyu exclaimed in surprise, "So... Chen Lie already possesses the strength to be part of the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"

"Of course, Chen Lie's Blood Qi Value is definitely over four digits."

"Then why wasn't he able to join the Provincial Youth Genius Group?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked.

It's not that I couldn't, it's that I didn't have the ability.

Chen Lie already fully meets the promotion standards for the Provincial Youth Genius Group. The reason he didn't get promoted immediately is that his goal is to stay in the Genius Training Camp and collect points from all Genius Training Camp trainees there.

The Provincial Youth Genius Group earns 200,000 points per month, while he can earn 600,000 points in just one month at the Genius Training Camp.

"If it were you, would you be eager to be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Group?" Qiu Yongfeng asked rhetorically.

"His appetite is too big! He wants to devour 600,000 points all by himself?"

"Then all of you core members have worked for nothing?" Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

"It wasn't all for nothing. Last month, at Xu Congjin's suggestion and with Chen Lie's approval, the Blazing Sun Alliance added 1,000 points to each of the training camp participants."

Last month, we collected one million points. Chen Lie took six hundred thousand for himself, and the remaining four hundred thousand were given to the six of us and to keep the organization running."

"Adding points? Wouldn't that get us roasted by the trainees?"

"Isn't Chen Lie too greedy? Can't you refuse?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked.

"Refuse? Do you think Chen Lie is someone to be trifled with? He's the type to turn on you in an instant."

Zhao Jinghao and Meng Qiming were both seriously injured by Chen Lie on the Duel Platform and spent more than half a month lying in the infirmary bed.

Upon hearing this, Fang Xiaoxiao was immediately alarmed.

She seemed to have just compared Chen Lie to a cat or dog, but now Chen Lie is in charge of the Genius Training Camp. If Chen Lie holds a grudge, wouldn't she be doomed if she entered the Genius Training Camp after the New Year?

"What are those points?" Qin Siyu asked at this moment.

Fang Xiaoxiao explained, "Points are Martial Dao Rare Treasure. You can use points to buy the resources you need at the Martial Artist Association's Trading Market."

One point is roughly equivalent to three thousand Star Dollar, and six hundred thousand points are equivalent to 1.8 billion Star Dollar.

Just think of it this way: Chen Lie can earn 1.8 billion Star Dollar every month by recruiting hundreds of students from the Genius Training Camp.

1.8 billion Star Dollar? That much?

Even though her father held a high position, Qin Siyu couldn't help but hiss.

18 Star Dollar —that's a huge sum of money. Even if my father worked his whole life, he couldn't earn half of that amount from his public income.

What she found even more unbelievable was that Chen Lie was actually the number one student in the Genius Training Camp, and his Qi and Blood Qi Value had exceeded four digits, making him someone who could join the Provincial Youth Genius Group at any time.

So, was her recent action—in that situation, Chen Lie Chen Lie's feelings and unilaterally canceling their agreement—wrong?

A hint of regret crept into Qin Siyu's heart.

Judging from Chen Lie's nonchalant tone, she thought, "Chen Lie shouldn't be so petty, and he won't hold a grudge because of this, right?"

They were classmates for three years, and according to Wang Hui's search, she even stepped forward to prove Feng Qingbai for Chen Lie. Although she herself didn't remember this incident, there was still some connection between them.

After all, she had just welcomed the new baby and had tried her best to make up for it; otherwise, Chen Lie wouldn't have brought Wang Hui to the factory.

Qin Siyu felt uneasy and wanted to immediately explain to Chen Lie what she had just done, but the martial arts master's lecture had already begun, and Chen Lie might not be able to calm down and listen to her explanation at this moment.

While lost in thought, Qin Siyu kept glancing at Chen Lie. She had made up her mind that once the lecture was over, she would have the factory's top engineer go to Chen Lie and explain things clearly.

"Xiaoxiao, you speak without thinking. You need to be careful with Chen Lie's side."

"He's a ruthless man, running rampant and unscrupulous. If you offend him, you'll just have to keep taking leave after the New Year. You can only return to work when he's promoted to the provincial youth league," Qiu Yongfeng warned.
