Chen Ye's Miserable Fate
Upon hearing Chen Ye's words, the entire family fell silent.
They have all signed guarantees in the presence of official personnel.
If they come knocking on your door again on this pretext, they'll likely face several years in prison.
"Ono, let's call this marriage off," Chen Shijian said.
Chang Guirong also said, "They're blind to talent; they'll regret it later."
Chen Ye was filled with immense sorrow; he truly couldn't bear to part with that beautiful young woman.
Even though he was reluctant, there was nothing he could do. He could only secretly resent his parents for being useless and not letting Chen Lie share the opportunity with him.
On June 2nd of the Galactic Calendar 7365, the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association finally announced that the students who had been specially recruited by Blue Star University would, three days later, on June 5th at 10:00 AM, board Star Boat and head to the Northwest Frontline to participate in military training and fight against Exotic Beast.
This time, 360 people from East River Province received early admission offers from Blue Star University.
In the afternoon, Chen Lie saw a message in the Genius Group group chat.
"Students, please come to the second floor of the Martial Artist Association Building at 8:00 AM tomorrow for a group meeting for Special Enrollment Student of Blue Star University. All students are welcome to attend."
The replies below are all "Received".
Chen Lie put away the Communicator, his mind preoccupied with the situation on the Northwest Frontline.
According to his memories from his previous life, Chen Lie went to the Martial Artist Association Building early the next morning in the Northwest Blue Star.
Upon arriving at the Martial Artist Association Building, Chen Lie saw a sparse number of teenagers around seventeen or eighteen years old entering the Martial Artist Association.
As soon as Chen Lie arrived at the door, staff members immediately came forward to greet him.
"Hello student, please go to the second-floor lobby to prepare for the meeting!"
Chen Lie nodded and walked into the Martial Artist Association.
At this moment, several trainees from the nearby Genius Training Camp were surprised to see Chen Lie.
"Look, isn't that Chen Lie, the Three-Province Martial Champion?"
"It's him, no doubt. I heard that Chen Lie's family isn't very well-off, not even as well-off as mine. I didn't expect him to be so skilled in martial arts. He's truly amazing."
"What's the fuss about? All members of the Genius Group are required to attend this Blue Star University Special Enrollment Student conference, and the Three-Province Martial Champion will definitely be there too!"
Chen Lie walked up to the second floor of the Martial Artist Building, and the people around him subconsciously avoided him, making way for him.
The second-floor lobby of the Martial Artist Association has been cleared out, with rows of temporary seats added.
Thirty seats are at the very front and belong to the thirty members of the Genius Group, while the hundreds of seats behind are reserved for the students in the Genius Training Camp.
As soon as Chen Lie arrived, the members of the Genius Group, who had already taken their seats, all stood up to greet him.
First, Luo Zhixun stood up and greeted Chen Lie with a smile, "Chen Lie!"
Immediately afterwards, Wei Ranran also came over and called out, "Chen Lie, you're here?"
Tang Jiu'er, Liu Wanwan, and others stood up to greet them, and within moments, all the members of the Genius Group present stood up.
The trainees in the front row of the Genius Training Camp were all stunned.
Is this a tangible manifestation of the prestige of the Three-Province Martial Champion?
The moment he appeared, all the members of the Genius Group stood up to greet him.
Lu Qingyun, who had a past conflict with Chen Lie, was extremely angry at this moment.
He really couldn't understand whether Chen Lie's martial arts strength was always like this, or whether it had improved in such a short period of time.
But now that he's under the eaves, he has no choice but to bow his head.
If we don't give Chen Lie face now, he will definitely settle scores with us later when we participate in military training.
Chen Lie glanced at the members of the Genius Group and said, "Sit down, everyone!"
After hearing Chen Lie's words, the members of the Genius Group sat down one by one.
"Chen Lie, your seat is in the very middle." Wei Ranran pointed to the empty seat in the middle for Chen Lie.
"Okay, I understand!"
Chen Lie nodded and sat in the center, seat C.
Time quickly passed to eight o'clock in the morning, and at this moment, all three hundred and sixty Special Enrollment Student of Blue Star University had arrived.
At this moment, Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association, walked to the podium in front of his seat.
After glancing at the packed audience, Xu Tianchuan began to speak.
"Students, I am Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Provincial Martial Artist Association. I have gathered you all here today to announce some things."
The people sitting here today are all martial arts geniuses from East River Province who were specially recruited by Blue Star University in advance.
Blue Star Martial Arts University is the best martial arts university on our planet, and it only admits 60,000 Blue Star University in advance each year.
As one of these 60,000 people, you can all be considered the most outstanding individuals on Blue Star.
Next, I'll explain the details of this military training.
"I believe that even if you are busy with martial arts training, you will still find time to read the news on Blue Star. So you students must know how serious the beast infestation is in the Northwest of our Blue Star."
The combat training against Exotic Beast was officially ordered by the Blue Star government ten years ago, in order to let the most promising martial arts geniuses on Blue Star understand how severe the situation is inside Blue Star.
Therefore, this Northwest Military Training is mandatory. If you fail to complete the training, you won't get the military training stamp on your Blue Star University Special Admission Notice, and Blue Star University won't accept you, no matter how talented you are.
Chen Lie, of course, did not believe what Xu Tianchuan said on stage.
The truly top geniuses on Blue Star are definitely exempt from the Northwest Military Training. If a top genius doesn't want to go, the Blue Star authorities can't force them to. They can't afford to offend a martial arts genius with Infinity Building potential over something like this.
Didn't my younger sister, Chen Xingyao, skip military training and go straight to Lanjing?
If Chen Lie also accepts the recruitment of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, he can be exempted from the Northwest Combat Military Training.
However, he also wanted to see just how rampant the Exotic Beast were in the Northwest of Blue Star.
"The 60,000 Special Enrollment Student from 89 provinces who were specially recruited by Blue Star University were divided into four Military Training Zone, with about 15,000 students in each Military Training Zone."
We, the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong, will definitely work together. The Provincial Martial Artist Association have made an agreement that if any of the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong fails to complete the military training mission, the other two provinces are obligated to help without endangering the safety of their own members.
"If any students have any questions about the Northwest Military Training, they can raise their hands and ask," Xu Tianchuan said.
At that moment, a top-ranked student from the Genius Training Camp raised his hand.
Xu Tianchuan immediately raised his hand and said, "Young man, please ask whatever question you have."
The trainee from the Genius Training Camp stood up and asked, "President Xu, what are our military training tasks?"
"Good question. Our military training mission is for each person to hunt at least one Tier 1 Exotic Beast. We have 360 Special Enrollment Student, so we have to hunt 360 Exotic Beast."
The deadline is two weeks. If the mission is completed, the team will receive a stamp from the Frontline Army organization and be allowed to enter Blue Star University. If the mission is not completed, then the entire province will be considered to have failed.
Even if a province fails, an individual can still apply to hunt Exotic Beast alone. If two Exotic Beast are hunted within three days, the military training unit can still stamp the application.
However, only a member of our Genius Group, or even one of the stronger members of our Genius Group, could successfully hunt down two Exotic Beast on their own.
"And those of us who were specially recruited Genius Training Camp will miss out on Blue Star University forever."
The trainees in the Genius Training Camp behind them were immediately taken aback.
If the group cannot pass the test, then it is absolutely impossible for them to complete this military training by their individual efforts.
Xu Tianchuan continued, "Therefore, in order to ensure that all three hundred-plus students from East River Province who have been conscripted can successfully complete their military training, all of us must unite."
The Provincial Martial Artist Association has decided that Chen Lie, the East River Province Martial Leader, will serve as the team leader for the military training group to help everyone complete this mission.
I must say this: on the Military Training Ground, all students must obey Chen Lie's commands and cooperate with his leadership. If anyone dares to disobey Chen Lie's orders and cause the military training mission to fail, they should first consider whether they can bear the responsibility.
Students who are less capable should be even more mindful of supporting the group led by Chen Lie.
The establishment of the military training member teams is fundamentally about enabling the stronger students from East River Province to help the weaker ones.
Xu Tianchuan raised his hand and looked at Chen Lie: "Chen Lie, please stand up so the other students can recognize you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie stood up, and his image was instantly projected onto the large screen behind the podium.
Chen Lie quickly sat down again.
"Classmates, this is Chen Lie. On the Military Training Ground, he will be responsible for leading all of us Special Enrollment Student to complete this military training mission."
We hope that Chen Lie can lead his classmates to complete this military training with zero casualties and perfection.
"Because East River Province won first place in this year's Three-Province Martial Tournament, on June 5th, Special Enrollment Student from Cloud River Province and West River Province provinces will come to East River Province together, take Star Boat from East River Province, and head to the Northwest Frontline to participate in military training."
Students, remember this: June 5th, which is the day after tomorrow, before 9:00 AM, wait for Star Boat at the Martial Artist Association Square.
Since injuries and fatalities are unavoidable during military training, the Martial Artist Association will issue each participant a Military Training Danger Awareness Form.
Students should have their parents sign the hazard acknowledgment form.
At this moment, someone else raised their hand and asked, "President Xu, what is the probability of encountering danger during military training?"
Xu Tianchuan said, "Then I'll talk about the data from the year before last."
Last year, 340 students from East River Province received special admission notices from Blue Star University, and 13 of them were injured or killed during military training.
The injury and death rate during military training is as high as 4%. For your own safety, please do not take it lightly.
During military training, it is essential to act as a group and obey instructions.
Xu Tianchuan answered questions from more than 300 Special Enrollment Student at the meeting, which lasted for two hours before it ended.
After the meeting, Xu Tianchuan separately summoned Chen Lie, along with the other four who had reached the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm: Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, and...
Song Yixuan and Tang Jiu'er arrived at the office next to the second-floor lobby.
Inside the office, Xu Tianchuan looked at the five people and sighed.
"This year, East River Province has truly experienced a martial arts explosion, with five individuals reaching the Qi Blood-Qi Extreme Realm appearing."
After expressing his admiration, Xu Tianchuan said earnestly, "Chen Lie, your martial arts are the strongest in the history of our East River Provincial Genius Group."
During military training, you and the other four classmates should work hard so that East River Province can get through this training with zero casualties.
"President Xu, zero casualties is probably impossible, isn't it? There are over three hundred people; there are bound to be Personal AI eccentricities," Chen Lie said.
"Don't worry, the Martial Artist Association and I will do our best to work with the other Special Enrollment Student, ensuring that they follow your will as the ironclad rule during Military Training Ground."
This year, we have five members at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, and six members with Blood Qi Value values exceeding 2,000 calories.
I also watched your battle against Ji Lingxuan at the Three-Province Martial Tournament. Your current strength is almost comparable to that of an average Tier 4 Martial Artist.
I also fought my way through Northwest Military Training, and I believe you are fully capable of handling a Tier 2 Exotic Beast on your own.
With you holding things together, East River Province has a very good chance of getting through this military training with zero casualties.
Chen Lie simply said, "I'll do my best."
After Xu Tianchuan finished giving his instructions, he dismissed Chen Lie and the others.
Not long after she stepped out of the office, Tang Jiu'er's loud voice rang out.
"What? Zhixun, you've already Tendon Refining Period?"
Luo Zhixun smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't be so loud. You're only in the Tendon Refining Period; you're still a long way from Bone Refining."
"The problem is that you haven't been in the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm for very long, only half a month earlier than me, so how come you're progressing so quickly?"
Luo Zhixun didn't hold back when talking to her friend, saying, "I was originally a bit clueless about Tendon Refining."
However, I had a martial arts exchange with Chen Lie the day before yesterday, and his insights into martial arts were even greater than my senior's. He pointed out my problem with just one glance.
It was only under Chen Lie's guidance that I understood the profound meaning of the Tendon Refining Period.
"Wow, is Chen Lie that amazing? Can he compare to my sister?"
Tang Jiu'er was surprised, because her older sister was a student at Starry Sky University.
"It's not that it's comparable to, it's that it surpasses."
My senior classmates had given me guidance before, but they didn't seem to be as helpful as Chen Lie.
"If that's the case—"
Tang Jiu'er recalled that she was matched with Chen Lie to exchange martial arts at the Eight Provinces Gathering that day, but she didn't think much of Chen Lie at the time, so she directly rejected him.
Now it seems I've missed something?
Shaking her head, Tang Jiu'er tried to banish these jumbled thoughts from her mind.
Tang Jiu'er and Luo Zhixun left the Martial Artist Association Building together when they suddenly received a communication.
The message from the communication startled her.
Luo Zhixun turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
"A friend of my sister's, who was a member of our previous year's Genius Group and got into Blue Star University, wants me to help her deal with someone."
"Who are you going to take care of?"
"She'll send me the message in a bit, let me see!"
Just as Tang Jiu'er finished speaking, her Communicator suddenly received a message. She quickly clicked on it and took a look.
After reading it, she exclaimed, "Huh?"
"He's a student in the Elite Class of Martial Arts High School. That's strange, how did someone with such low skill level manage to offend my sister's friend?"
He also told me to be absolutely ruthless, at least to cripple the kid's hands and feet.
After it's all over, I need to take a video and send it over.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhixun exclaimed in surprise, "This grudge runs quite deep; they even filmed it."
"Sigh, I looked at someone's stats, and their Blood Qi Value is less than 200 calories, just a small amount. Why would I bother with them?"
"My cousin's son happens to be a student at the Genius Training Camp, so he's perfect for this. I'll give the task to him and let him handle it!" Tang Jiu'er said.
On the other hand, two days passed, and Chen Ye's marriage proposal in Sunan Province fell through, but he was still filled with melancholy.
That day, Chen Ye went to his Elite Class as usual.
He had barely sat down when one of his elite classmates called out to him, "Chen Ye, is someone outside looking for you?"
"Who is looking for me?" Chen Ye asked.
"I don't know him. Go out and see for yourself!"
Chen Ye walked out of the classroom, puzzled.
Sure enough, outside the classroom, a young man was seen standing there with his arms crossed.
The young man turned on his Communicator, looked Chen Ye up and down, and compared the photos.
"So your Chen Ye?"
Who are you? What do you want with me?
Chen Ye looked at the other party warily.
"What is it? Think about who you've offended!"
The young man swung his hand and slapped Chen Ye across the face.
Chen Ye's broken teeth flew out of his mouth instantly, and at the same time, his face swelled up red.
Chen Ye was stunned by the slap and it took him a while to cry out in pain.
The young man snorted coldly and kicked Chen Ye more than ten meters away, where he crashed heavily to the ground.
Chen Ye struggled to his feet, trying to escape while shouting, "Help! Murder!"
"Damn it, you still dare to run?"
The young man caught up with Chen Ye Chen Ye an instant and kicked him in the back.
Chen Ye vaguely heard a cracking sound coming from his spine, and instantly collapsed to the ground.
The young man didn't stop. He broke Chen Ye's legs with a few punches and kicks, and then kicked Chen Ye into the air, breaking several of his ribs.
After falling from the sky with a "thud," Chen Ye completely lost consciousness.
Even now, he still doesn't understand why he was beaten up.
After recording a half-minute video on his Communicator, the young man sent it to his superior.
When Chang Guirong received the notification and ran to the infirmary to see Chen Ye lying paralyzed on the bed, she immediately cried out.
"Ah, who the hell beat my son up like this?"
Seeing Chang Guirong's agitated expression, the tutor next to her quickly said, "Chen Ye's parent, please calm down."
Our school doctor examined Chen Ye Chen Ye and found that he had all external injuries, including a fractured spine, three broken ribs, and broken bones in his arms and legs.
There's certainly no danger to his life, but he'll probably need two months to recover. At this point, his martial arts progress will definitely be affected.
Chang Guirong rushed forward to check on him and found that her son was almost completely unwell and looked like he was on the verge of death.
Unable to hold back any longer, he cried out, "Who did this? Who did this?"
"It was a student from the Genius Training Camp named Liu Yang who did the beating. He said he mistook Chen Ye's injuries, and offered one million Star Dollar to settle the matter."
