Losing Confidence

At that moment, several people passed by outside the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Seeing the decorations outside the hotel, I couldn't help but ask, "Does Chuandu Grand Banquet even host Enrollment Banquet?"

"Such a high-end hotel is actually hosting these kinds of large banquets with such inconsistent quality; it's completely ruined its prestige!"

"Lacks class? Take a closer look at who's the main guest at the Enrollment Banquet, then think about whether it's classy or not!"

The man glanced at the poster and suddenly said, "Chen Lie? That name sounds familiar."

"This is the first place winner of this year's Three-Province Martial Tournament!"

"Wow, so he's the Three-Province Martial Champion! That makes sense!"

The main hall on the first floor of the Chuandu Grand Banquet was arranged in a neat and unique manner.

A fan-shaped stage was set up in the middle of the lobby on the first floor. Behind the stage, a crystal screen with a diameter of 1,000 inches was playing very simple images, all about Chen Lie's resume.

<Enrollment Banquet - Chen Lie's Martial Arts Journey>

In the year 7362 of the Galactic Calendar, he applied for the Martial Arts Department examination, thus beginning his path in martial arts.

In the year 7364 of the Galactic Calendar, Dongchuan Province Key High School won first place in the school-wide martial arts competition.

In the same year, he was called up to join Genius Training Camp.

In the year 7365 of the Galactic Calendar, he passed the Provincial Youth Genius Group and was selected for the East River Province Provincial Genius Group.

After that, martial arts made great strides forward:

[Become a Grandmaster Seed Member of the Genius Group.]

[The entire Genius Group won first place in the All-Member Martial Competition, becoming the Provincial Martial Leader.]

[The Three-Provinces Martial Tournament and win the Three-Province Martial Champion.]

[Recruited early by Blue Star University ----]

Since Chen Lie's achievements all occurred within the last six months, which would be too astonishing, the specific dates in the video on the screen were blurred.

At this moment, many relatives and friends have already entered the Chuandu Hotel with their Invitation Letter.

In the hotel lobby, many of Chen Lie's relatives and neighbors gathered around the stage, watching the video on the screen.

"He's truly the Three-Province Martial Champion! The Chen Family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!"

"Smoke rising from the sky? I think Chen Lie is possessed by the Wuqu Star."

I remember a year ago, Chen Lie's Blood Qi Value was less than 1 cal. My child had already entered the Elite Class, while he was still in the Ordinary Class. In such a short time, he became the Three-Province Martial Champion.

The Blood Qi Value has increased several thousand times. It's impossible to explain unless one is possessed by the Wuqu Star!

"I think it's possible. Many official media outlets have praised Chen Lie as the Wuqu Star Incarnate, and this claim may not be unfounded."

I need to find an opportunity to ask Chen Lie's parents what his secrets to Chen Lie arts training are.

At this moment, the Chen Chaoqun and Chen Guangqun families entered the hall of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Chen Ying walked ahead, and she immediately saw the martial arts journey displayed on the stage backdrop screen, feeling a sense of disorientation.

She almost made it into the Provincial Youth Genius Group, which is a deep regret in her life.

The further she progressed in the Qi Blood-Qi Stage of martial arts, the clearer she became about how difficult and competitive the Genius Training Camp was.

To the average person, the top Three-Province Martial Champion is at most someone with high martial arts talent and great skill, but she knows the significance of being the number one martial arts master among the younger generation in Chuanzhong.

That's the number one among tens of millions of people. It would be abnormal if such a martial arts genius couldn't become Martial Arts Grandmaster Grandmaster within ten years. Even if he becomes a grandmaster, he would only be one of the most powerful Martial Artist Grandmaster Martial Artist. Perhaps, he could even become Grandmaster.

Chen Lie has truly undergone a complete transformation. In just a few months, he has surpassed all his peers Chuanzhong martial arts, leaving them far behind.

Chen Ying sighed inwardly.

She knew she could no longer treat Chen Lie like a child.

Chen Lie was able to stand out from rounds of fierce competition, which shows that his experience has surpassed my own.

Just as Chen Ying was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a sharp voice.

"Eldest brother and sister-in-law, look at the third brother's family. They usually seem humble and modest, but that's because they haven't had the opportunity."

Now that this opportunity has come, let's see how much they'll show off, with Chuandu Grand Banquet and a widespread Invitation Letter Enrollment Banquet."

Chen Ying turned around abruptly and saw that the gossiping person was indeed her second aunt, Chang Guirong. She then said coldly, "Second aunt, Enrollment Banquet are held by at least ninety out of a hundred families in East River Province. This can hardly be called showing off, can it?"

Moreover, Chen Lie's achievements in martial arts are extraordinary, and he was specially recruited by the best martial arts university on Blue Star. It would be strange if he didn't choose a good place to hold his Enrollment Banquet.

"If Chen Ye were the one to win first place in this Three-Province Martial Tournament and be specially admitted to Blue Star University, you and your second uncle would probably have even more to brag about."

"You—"

Chang Guirong's face turned ugly, but she was rendered speechless by Chen Ying's words. She glanced at Chen Ying's parents, Chen Chaoqun and his wife, hoping they would do something about Chen Ying.

But Chen Chaoqun and Yang Huiqin couldn't bear to scold their daughter, so they both looked around and pretended not to know.

Chen Shijian, who was behind, coughed and said, "Chen Ying, how can you talk to your second aunt like that?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm just used to being outspoken."

Upon hearing Chen Ying's reply, Chen Shijian said no more.

At that moment, Chen Chaoqun suddenly spotted a familiar face and quickly went over to greet him.

"Qidong, you're here too?"

Upon seeing Chen Chaoqun Chen Chaoqun, the middle-aged man who had been greeted by him immediately said, "So it's Brother Chen! We're such good friends, how could I not come to his banquet?"

"Is your whole family here?" Chen Chaoqun glanced at the people behind the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was Lu Qidong, followed by his wife and daughter, Xu Yunyan and Lu Qingchan.

"Of course, I heard that Chen Lie not only became the Provincial Martial Leader, but also won the Three-Province Martial Champion."

"Your martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in such a short time, everyone wants to come and see!" Lu Qidong said.

At this moment, Chen Gequn saw the Chen Chaoqun and Lu Qidong families who had just arrived, so he quickly walked over and said, "Brother, Qidong, you've arrived?"

Chen Chaoqun nodded and said "Mm," while Lu Qidong quickly said, "Brother Chen, I saw in the news that Chen Lie won first place in the Three-Province Martial Tournament?"

When did Chen Lie become so skilled in martial arts?

Chen Gequn chuckled twice and said, "Perhaps you've suddenly had a breakthrough. Let's go inside first, and then sit down and talk slowly."

At this moment, Lu Qingchan walked up and asked Chen Gequn, "Uncle Chen, where is Chen Lie?"

"Chen Lie hasn't arrived yet; he should be here in a bit."

Lu Qingchan said "Oh" and followed her parents inside.

At this moment, Chen Shijian coughed a few times, and Chen Gequn then looked behind him.

"Dad, you're here too?"

Chen Gequn first went over and greeted Chen Shijian.

Chen Shijian nodded and said "Mm".

Chen Gequn then said, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second brother, and Xiaoying, you should all go in quickly too."

Chen Ying then said, "Third Uncle, where's Chen Lie? I want to talk to Chen Lie."

"Chen Lie hasn't arrived yet."

Chen Ying nodded and went inside with her parents.

As Lu Qingchan walked with her parents, she saw the backdrop screen of the stage and couldn't help but stop and look at it.

Seeing that her daughter was not moving, Xu Yunyan said, "Qingchan, come in!"

Lu Qingchan said "Oh" and followed her mother.

"I really didn't expect that Chen Lie could make such rapid progress in martial arts."

I remember it was on your 17th birthday that Chen Lie's martial arts suddenly soared to new heights. This couldn't have been achieved with just a few pointers from Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Could it be that Chen Lie really possesses some kind of martial arts physique? Has his physique recently awakened? Xu Yunyan also felt strange.

After all, the Three-Province Martial Champion is the number one young martial artist in the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong, and he will almost certainly become Grandmaster within ten years.

In the Martial Era, becoming Grandmaster Martial Artist means becoming a powerful and wealthy individual.

Lu Qingchan didn't respond to her mother's words, but instead turned her head again to look at Chen Lie's record of being Three-Province Martial Champion.

She knew perfectly well what Three-Province Martial Champion was. Even after returning to the Dongchuan Lu Family and having the support of her family, she still felt deeply ashamed in the face of such a martial arts genius as Chen Lie.

The opponent's talent in martial arts was too strong. Just hearing the name of Chen Lie, the champion of Three-Province Martial Champion, made her feel insecure.

On the other side, Chen Lie's airship landed outside the square of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

As soon as I stepped off the airship, my Communicator rang.

Upon taking it out, I was surprised to find it was a call from Wang Hui.

"Hey, Chen Lie, where are you right now?" Wang Hui's voice came through the Communicator.

"I'm at the Chuandu Hotel."

"It's done. I've carefully checked everyone, and I've brought six classmates in total, including one from junior high. They'll be here shortly."

"Just come in when you're here," Chen Lie said.

"Okay, you don't need to pick me up in a bit. I've been here before, I know this place like the back of my hand."

After finishing his call with Wang Hui, Chen Lie hung up the phone.

At that moment, Chen Lie's Green Bubble suddenly sounded two reminders in a row.

He opened the message and was surprised to find that his junior high school classmates Qin Siyu and Ji Lingxuan, had sent him messages almost simultaneously.

Chen Lie first clicked on Qin Siyu's message above.

Qin Siyu: Chen Lie, may I attend your college Enrollment Banquet?

Chen Lie replied: Come on.

Qin Siyu: Okay, I'm with Wang Hui, we'll be there soon [smiley face]

After replying with "OK", Chen Lie exited the chat and opened Ji Lingxuan's message.

Ji Lingxuan: Chen Lie, we agreed at the Three Provinces Gathering to exchange martial arts ideas. Are you free today?

Chen Lie: I'm free, but I'll have to wait until the afternoon.

Ji Lingxuan: This afternoon is fine too. I can go there first. Could you send me your address?

Chen Lie sent the address directly to Ji Lingxuan.

After receiving the address, Ji Lingxuan replied, "Okay, I can go to East River Province first. You go ahead with your business. We can have our martial arts exchange this afternoon when you have time."

After replying to Ji Lingxuan, Chen Lie put away the Communicator.

Beside her, Jiang Qiongqiong said, "Cousin Chen Lie, aren't you going in?"

"Okay, let's go in!"

Chen Lie nodded and walked into the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, many relatives and friends turned to look at me.

Some distant relatives and neighbors looked at Chen Lie with strange eyes.

"Is this Chen Lie, who was specially recruited by Blue Star University?"

"Being specially admitted by Blue Star University is nothing special; this Three-Province Martial Champion is truly formidable!"

"He doesn't seem to be any different from before. By the way, is his Blood Qi Value close to 2,000 calories? He managed to win first place in the Three-Province Martial Tournament, so his Blood Qi Value shouldn't be less than 1,500 calories, right?"

"1500 calories? Who do you think you are? Even if you're not first in the Three-Province Martial Tournament, you should still have at least 2000 calories in your Blood Qi Value!"

"The top ten all have 2000 calories? That's amazing!"

Hearing these discussions, Jiang Qiongqiong became curious and asked Chen Liedao in a low voice, "Cousin, how much is your Blood Qi Value?"

"It's probably more than two hundred times yours."

"Two... more than two hundred times?"

Jiang Qiongqiong was immediately startled when she heard this multiple.

How could a person's Blood Qi Value be this high?

No wonder everyone says it's the Wuqu Star Incarnate; with such high Blood Qi Value, what else could it be but the Wuqu Star Incarnate?

As soon as Chen Lie and his mother Feng Yuelan entered, they ran into their relatives.

"Yuelan!"

Upon seeing the people calling out, Feng Yuelan immediately stepped forward to greet them, "Eldest brother, second brother, you've all arrived?"

How could I miss my nephew's Enrollment Banquet?

Two men in their forties stepped forward.

Feng Yuelan nodded and said to Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao, "Chen Lie, Yaoyao, come and greet your uncle."

Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao both said, "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle!"

The two middle-aged men were Chen Lie's two maternal uncles: Feng Mingli, the eldest, and Feng Xueli, the second.

Feng Mingli and Feng Xueli nodded in agreement. Feng Xueli said, "Yuelan, Shuangshuang has also received early admission offers from Blue Star University. She will soon be going to the Northwest Frontline Army. I was just thinking of holding a Enrollment Banquet for Shuangshuang to celebrate her admission to university."

"The venue for the Chuandu Grand Banquet is quite nice. How many Star Dollar would be needed for a single banquet?"

Feng Yuelan said, "This was introduced by a classmate from Chen Lie's Genius Group, and they didn't charge any Star Dollar."

"Hmm? Chen Lie's classmate? Could you ask this classmate to make some connections? As long as we can use this venue, we'll Star Dollar Star Dollar it takes!"

At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang stepped forward, stamping her foot. "Dad, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

If it were through your aunt's own connections, that would be one thing, but didn't you hear her say? She also had to pull strings!

Feng Xueli said, "I just wanted to find you a good venue. After all, Blue Star University is recruiting students early, and this Enrollment Banquet only happens once in a lifetime!"

"Hmph, if that's how you are, then you shouldn't be holding any Enrollment Banquet!" Feng Shuangshuang said, hands on her hips.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more!"

Seeing his daughter's stubbornness, Feng Mingli had no choice but to give up.

"Zhijie and Shanshan are here too?" Feng Yuelan looked at the two younger people, a boy and a girl, behind Feng Shuangshuang.

These two people are Feng Zhijie, the son of Feng Mingli the eldest uncle), and Feng Shanshan, the youngest daughter of Feng Xueli the second uncle).

Feng Zhijie and Feng Mingli both exclaimed, "Auntie!"

Feng Yuelan nodded and said to the two families, "Eldest brother, second brother, please come inside!"

A glint flashed in Feng Shanshan's eyes as she quickly stepped forward and pulled Chen Xingyao aside.

Chen Xingyao asked curiously, "Hey, what are you doing?"
