Can You Look After Them All?

One million Star Dollar, that's very generous!

There's less than a month until the college entrance exam. If my son's injuries continue to heal for two months, he'll miss the exam and won't be able to get into any ordinary martial arts university.

"To hell with a million Star Dollar! Can a million Star Dollar buy back my son's future?"

Chang Guirong furious. "We don't want a million Star Dollar, we want the murderer brought to justice!"

"Mr. Chen Ye, please don't get agitated. In the Martial Era, as long as no one is killed in a battle, according to the laws of Blue Star, the punishment will not be severe."

Moreover, the other party is a student from the Genius Training Camp. Even if they go to the East River Province Court, the official ruling will likely favor the one with better martial arts performance, and there is a high probability that they will be fined a few hundred thousand Star Dollar and then released without charge.

If you really want to argue about it, it's not worth it.

Chang Guirong shouted, "How can someone be so indifferent to human life and still be released without charge? Do you think I don't understand the laws of Blue Star?"

"Those who intend to kill others deserve at least two years in prison."

The instructor replied, "That's true, but the other party is a student in the Genius Training Camp, a martial arts genius from East River Province who enjoys preferential treatment."

Moreover, Liu Yang's father is Provincial Councilor of East River Province.

Parents of Chen Ye, listen to my advice: if you really hold on to this, you're likely to be the ones who suffer.

It would be better to accept the situation and agree on a settlement.

They said that if one million Star Dollar isn't enough, we can ask for more compensation.

But if you persist in this, he will ensure you gain nothing.

Director Wang just came to say hello, saying that this student from the Genius Training Camp named Liu Yang comes from an exceptionally wealthy family and has some connections with the Provincial Governor. He advised you to quit while you're ahead.

Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong's face contorted instantly, and she surrounded Chen Ye, bursting into tears.

My son, why is your life so miserable?

Not only did I encounter a group of heartless and ungrateful relatives who refused to help me in my time of need, but now I'm being bullied like this by the powerful and wealthy. I can't take the college entrance exam, and my future is ruined.

Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned home, told his parents about the military training, and gave them a Notice of Dangers to sign.

Feng Yuelan read the danger notice over and over again before asking, "Chen Lie, it says here that the casualty rate for military training is 3.8%?"

On average, out of every 100 people, four will be injured or killed during military training?

"Mom, those are just regular Special Enrollment Student. Someone as capable as me wouldn't be in any danger," Chen Lie said.

"You still need to be careful. Fighting against Exotic Beast is a minor matter. Your father was Fourth-Rank Peak martial artist before, but even when dealing with a Tier 2 Exotic Beast, he still needs to be extremely cautious."

--

"If we're not careful, we might get hurt by the Exotic Beast," Feng Yuelan said.

Chen Lie nodded in agreement.

He has mastered the Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone, which theoretically gives him a trace of the power of Starry Sky Behemoth. If he were to unleash his aura, even low-level Exotic Beast would avoid him.

If he doesn't provoke the Exotic Beast, Exotic Beast probably won't attack him.

"I saw the news from East River Province. You're leaving for the Northwest Frontline on June 5th. Is there anything your father and I need to prepare?"

"No need, it's just military training, all you need to do is go."

Feng Yuelan asked some more questions about military training, and Chen Lie answered them all.

Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

Chen Gequn stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"

As he spoke, he went and opened the door.

Upon arriving at the door and opening it, Chen Gequn exclaimed in surprise upon seeing who it was, "Qidong, what brings you here?"

Outside Chen Lie's house stood Lu Qidong and his family of three.

"I came to ask for your help today, Brother Chen, because I need something from you," Lu Qidong said.

"What do you need my help with? Please come inside."

Chen Gequn quickly ushered Lu Qidong and his family inside and led them to the living room.

Lu Qingchan, who was accompanying them, came to the living room with her parents and saw Chen Lie. Her eyes flickered.

She felt like she had a thousand words to say, but she simply nodded and said, "Hello, Chen Lie."

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Hello."

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Xu Yunyan couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lie is here too. Why didn't you go to martial arts practice today?"

Feng Yuelan said with a smile, "We're going to the Northwest Military Training soon, we can't practice martial arts every day."

"My nephew, who is Grandmaster Seed in the Genius Group, practices martial arts every day, averaging 12 hours a day."

He himself said that if he didn't work hard, he would definitely fall behind in the competition for the Genius Group.

Chen Lie, on the other hand, is exceptionally talented; he can become the best in Chuanzhong without diligent martial arts training.

"That's not entirely true. Practicing martial arts with a balance of tension and relaxation is more beneficial than practicing with a constantly tense and anxious mindset."

Xu Yunyan smiled and nodded.

Chen Gequn then asked, "Qidong, you just asked me for help. How can I help you?"

Lu Qidong quickly said, "Brother Chen, aren't we about to go to the Northwest Military Training?"

Qingchan took out a danger notice from the Martial Artist Association. When Yunyan and I looked at it, wow, the casualty rate during military training was as high as four percent.

Qingchan's martial arts skills aren't that strong, and she's never seen a terrifying Exotic Beast before. We were both really worried. We thought that since Chen Lie is so skilled in martial arts, if he could take good care of Qingchan during the Military Training Ground, she would definitely be able to get through this training safely.

"We came here today to ask Chen Lie to look after Qingchan."

"I remember Qingchan isn't very old, is she? Is she also going to Blue Star University?" Feng Yuelan asked.

Lu Qingchan hummed in agreement and said, "Aunt Feng, I don't want to be confined to one province any longer and waste a year going to Blue Star University."

"If Qingchan meets the age requirements, she can continue to study at Blue Star University next year."

"If that's the case, there's a high chance she'll make it into the Provincial Youth Genius Group. But we tried to dissuade her, but she won't listen and insists on going to Blue Star University this year," Lu Qidong said, shaking his head.

"Shouldn't Qingchan's cousins from the Lu Family also be members of the Genius Group? Didn't you have them take care of Qingchan?" Chen Gequn asked.

"Of course I mentioned it, but Chen Lie is the best in Three Rivers. Only with his protection can we be completely at ease."

Furthermore, Chen Lie was appointed as the team leader of the military training group by the Martial Artist Association, and he has the authority to mobilize all the Special Enrollment Student participating in the military training.

With just a word from him, Qingchan could avoid the danger and the direct confrontation with the Exotic Beast.

As Lu Qidong spoke, he looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, remember to look after Qingchan Military Training Ground."

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay, I will."

I knew you'd agree.

"You used to be so clingy to Qingchan, why haven't I seen you contacting Qingchan in the last few months? Have you been busy practicing martial arts?" Lu Qidong asked.

Chen Liedao, "There really isn't enough time."

"There's no rush to practice martial arts. Once you get to Blue Star University, spend more time with Qingchan. I've always thought you and Qingchan were a good match and wanted to set you up. Now that your martial arts have improved so much, you look even more compatible!"

Hearing her father say this, Lu Qingchan couldn't help but say, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Dad means it!"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm ignoring you!"

Lu Qingchan stomped her foot, looking both embarrassed and angry.

At the same time, she secretly glanced at Chen Lie, only to find that Chen Lie was just standing there with a normal expression, without any reaction, and she felt a pang of disappointment.

He seems to have no sense of self at all now, otherwise he wouldn't be so calm.

But what exactly happened? He wasn't like this just a few months ago.

Lu Qingchan's thoughts were in turmoil as she kept recalling whether she had done anything to displease Chen Lie.

Feng Yuelan was also very puzzled. She knew that her son used to be extremely fond of Lu Qingchan, so why had he become so indifferent after only a few months?

Just then, the knocking sounded again.

Chen Gequn stood up and said, "I'll go take a look!"

As he spoke, Chen Gequn went to the door and opened it.

"Uncle, hello."

A girl with a high ponytail waved from the doorway.

"Oh, Shuangshuang's here? Please come in and have a seat."

The people knocking on the door were Feng Shuangshuang and her mother, Yang Huixian.

Feng Shuangshuang walked in and was somewhat surprised to see other guests in the living room.

She greeted them, "Auntie, cousin!"

After calling out "Shuangshuang", Feng Yuelan looked at Yang Huixian behind Feng Shuangshuang.

"Your sister-in-law is here too?"

Yang Huixian said, "Yes, I had something I wanted to ask Chen Lie for a favor, but I didn't expect you to have other guests. It's a bit unfortunate that you've come at this time."

"What are you saying, sister-in-law? Please tell me what's wrong."

Yang Huixian then said, "It's nothing serious."

Weren't Shuangshuang specially recruited by Blue Star University to go to the front lines for military training?

She brought me a danger notice today.

When I looked at the notice, it said that 340 people from East River Province participated in military training last year, and 13 of them were injured or killed.

Shuangshuang's martial arts skills are only considered above average in the Genius Training Camp, and I'm genuinely worried that she might encounter danger during military training.

Thinking that Chen Lie wasn't particularly strong in martial arts, if he could take care of Shuangshuang Chen Lie Military Training Ground, wouldn't they be safe and sound?

Yang Huixian looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, you'd better take good care of Shuangshuang on the Military Training Ground."

When you come back from Blue Star University, your aunt will cook you a delicious meal to welcome you back.

"I know!" Chen Lie nodded.

Feng Shuangshuang felt a little embarrassed. As an elder, she felt terrible that her cousin had to take care of her.

But there was nothing he could do; Chen Lie was just that skilled in martial arts.

The Three-Province Martial Champion —this is the strongest young person among the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong.

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Chen Gequn wondered, why are there so many guests today?

"I'll go take another look!"

As he spoke, Chen Gequn went to the door again and opened it.

"Gequn, I've come to visit you."

Wei Hongye was seen standing there, carrying gifts in his hands.

Wei Ranran, who was standing next to him, also greeted him, "Hello, Uncle Chen!"

"Good, good!" Chen Gequn nodded repeatedly and asked, "Brother Wei, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, I had something I needed your help with, didn't I?"

"Please come in!"

Chen Gequn quickly urged Wei Hongye's parents to do their best.

As soon as Wei Hongye entered, he exclaimed in surprise, "Why are there so many people?"

He quickly placed the gift in the corner of the living room.

"Brother Wei, what brings you here today?" Chen Gequn asked.

"Hehe, didn't Ranran receive a special admission notice from Blue Star University?"

Actually, given her age, repeating a year wouldn't be a problem at all, and she could enjoy the province's resources for another year. However, she insists on entering Blue Star University this year, and I can't persuade her otherwise.

"Isn't she about to go to military training? I'm worried she might encounter danger, so I wanted to ask Chen Lie to take care of her during the Military Training Ground."

"Ranran isn't a member of the Genius Group, is she? Does she need to be taken care of too?"

"Ranran is basically at the bottom of the Genius Group, and she definitely can't compare to Chen Lie, the Three-Province Martial Champion."

If Chen Lie keeps an eye on her, it will give her one more minute of safety.

Lu Qidong and Xu Yunyan exchanged a glance. Could Chen Lie possibly keep an eye on so many people at once?

Even if you can manage to read it all, the efficiency will be greatly reduced.

"Don't worry, Chen Lie, I won't hold you back. My Blood Qi Value has exceeded 1200 calories, and my Strength Value has reached 3.7 times. If I find a few companions with similar strength, we should be able to deal with a Tier 1 Exotic Beast," Wei Ranran said.

"Okay, I'll arrange for a few strong members to team up with you."

Chen Lie said that Wei Ranran is a member of the Genius Group, unlike Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan who are members of the Genius Training Camp. She is expected to contribute her time and effort.

Wei Ranran nodded repeatedly. As a member of the Genius Group, even if she was at the bottom, it would be too shameful to just hide in the back.

She didn't want to be laughed at.

The three families came together, and Chen Lie's living room was almost overflowing, so they ended up eating at a restaurant outside.

During the meal, Lu Qingchan saw Wei Ranran talking to Chen Lie with obvious admiration, and felt an overwhelming bitterness in her heart.

This girl is even better at martial arts than me, and as a member of the Genius Group, she shows such Chen Lie for Chen Lie.

This further illustrates the vast gap between Chen Lie and himself.

The date arrived at June 5th, 7365 in the Galactic Calendar, the day when the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong rushed to the Northwest Frontline to participate in military training.

A medium-sized Star Boat flew from the Northwest Frontline to the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association Square and landed there.

A little after eight o'clock, Chen Lie's parents brought Chen Lie to the Martial Artist Association.

"Son, be careful when you get to the Military Training Ground. The Exotic Beast there are very ferocious. Let us know you're safe every few days," Feng Yuelan instructed.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be fine. You can go back now." Chen Lie nodded.

"Go inside. We'll head back once we see the Star Boat take off."

Chen Lie nodded and walked into the Martial Artist Association square.

The Martial Artist Association Square was now completely cordoned off with red tape.

Inside the plaza, a Star Boat over two hundred meters long was parked in the middle.

All the members of the East River Provincial Genius Group waited beside the Star Boat.

Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, they all greeted him.

Before long, several airships from Cloud River Province and West River Province arrived from two directions. Several airships landed, and the Special Enrollment Student from Blue Star University in the two provinces stepped out of the airships.
