Chapter 144 Has the Dynasty Changed?
Chen Lie jumped off the fighting platform and glanced at the students watching below. The students quickly avoided his gaze; many of them had been watching him closely earlier. Facing Chen Lie, they instinctively felt guilty, worried that he would notice them.
This will invite retaliation.
Chen Lie defeated Ning Xingchen and can now be considered the king of the hundreds of students in the Dongchuan Province Genius Training Camp, and the god of all the students under the camp's instructors. If he attracts the revenge of such a being, then they will no longer be able to stay in the Genius Training Camp.
Below the battle platform, Ning Xingchen looked at Chen Lie walking straight towards him and straightened his expression.
"I really didn't expect you to master an S-rank martial art. Your strength has already reached the threshold for advancing to the provincial youth genius team, right? There's no point in us competing like this. How long can you stay in the genius training camp?"
Chen Lie said, "Then that's none of your business."
What's your attitude?
Lu Qingying snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think that Xingchen's strength is inferior to yours?"
That's because the head instructor had said beforehand that he would stop short of making a point.
"And Xingchen mostly masters martial arts with high destructive power; otherwise, in a real fight, could you be his opponent?"
Chen Lie ignored Lu Qingying; he just felt that this woman was a bit eccentric.
Ning Xingchen said, "The agreement we made before remains unchanged. If you have any requests, please tell us inside."
Chen Lie did not speak, but followed the Star Alliance members into the council hall.
Inside the council chamber, Chen Lie found a seat at the conference table and sat down.
The core members of the Star Alliance also sat down.
Ning Xingchen approached Chen Lie: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Chen Lie said directly, "I want you to leave the Star Alliance, and I will take over as the leader of the alliance."
Of course, I can't be bothered with your messy affairs. You just need to hand over the protection money you collect from all the trainees each month.
As soon as Chen Lie spoke, several core members of the Star Alliance looked at him in disbelief.
Lu Qingying, in particular, was so shocked that she sat bolt upright, pointing at Chen Lie: "What did you say? You want Xingchen to withdraw from the Star Alliance? Do you know that the Star Alliance exists because of Xingchen?"
What a boastful tone!
"Xiaoying, you don't need to take this so seriously anymore."
At this moment, Ning Xingchen suddenly said, "Actually, I have some news that I haven't told everyone yet. I passed the verification of the provincial youth genius team the day before yesterday. I only need to go to the Martial Arts Association to verify my identity, and that will be considered as promotion to the provincial youth genius team."
Whether I leave the Star Alliance or not is of little significance to me.
"Xingchen, are you really going to be promoted to the provincial youth genius team?" Lu Qingying was taken aback and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, the head instructor said that the teaching staff of the provincial youth genius group is ten times stronger than that of the genius training camp. I'm currently wasting my time in the training camp, so they applied for my promotion to the provincial youth genius group," Ning Xingchen said.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingying's expression immediately turned blank.
The fact that Chen Lie was able to fight Ning Xingchen to this point means that once Ning Xingchen leaves, Chen Lie will be the number one in the training camp, and no one can stop him.
Ning Xingchen nodded to Chen Lie: "Okay, I agree to your request. From now on, you will be the leader of the Star Alliance."
However, the Star Alliance needs to change its name; you can come up with one yourself.
"There's no need. The name Star Alliance is good, and most importantly, the students recognize it." Chen Lie refused directly.
He estimated that he wouldn't stay at the talent training camp for long, at most collecting two months' worth of order maintenance fees.
If we can't collect the protection fee for the first month because of the name change, then there's no point in doing it.
"The most important thing," Ning Xingchen said solemnly to Chen Lie, "After I leave, you must treat the brothers of the Star Alliance well."
"I told you, I'm just a figurehead. I'll just hand over the points the students submit each month, and I won't ask about anything else."
Chen Lie wouldn't bother with such a small student organization if it didn't collect hundreds of thousands of points every month.
"Alright, I'm going to the Martial Arts Association to verify my identity tomorrow. I'm leaving the Star Alliance to you."
Ning Xingchen knew that Chen Lie's strength was not much worse than his own, and once he left, no one in the training camp could stop Chen Lie from doing anything.
Making an agreement beforehand would also test Chen Lie's credibility. If they spoke ill of him, his friends' days in the training camp would probably not be pleasant.
He was number one in the genius training camp, and he knew very well what privileges the number one student in the genius training camp enjoyed here.
It can be said that as long as no one is killed or crippled, the top student in the genius training camp can run rampant and do whatever he wants.
After he left, Chen Lie became the king of the genius training camp, the sky above hundreds of students.
"Xingchen, are you leaving tomorrow?" Lu Qingying couldn't help but ask.
"Hmm." Ning Xingchen nodded and said, "Your Qi and Blood value has already exceeded 900 calories. If you practice martial arts diligently, you can be promoted to the Provincial Youth Genius Team in at most two months. I'm waiting for you there now."
"Yes, I will definitely practice martial arts diligently," Lu Qingying replied solemnly.
"Xiaoying, please introduce some of the core members of the Star Alliance to Chen Lie. You should be careful not to get into conflicts with Chen Lie in the future."
Lu Qingying nodded and introduced to Chen Lie with a blank expression: "Our Star Alliance has seven core members."
The first one is Xu Congjin, with a blood energy value of around 770 calories.
The person next to Xu Congjin is named Qiu Yongfeng, with a blood energy value of 850 calories.
The last one, named Shang Chuanwu, has a health value that has exceeded 900 calories.
As for the other two, you've already dealt with them. Zhao Jinghao and Meng Qiming are both lying in the infirmary right now.
Chen Lie said, "I won't interfere in your affairs. Just let me know when you encounter any issues related to protection money collection."
Lu Qingying's face darkened: "That's called an order maintenance fee. If you blatantly call it a protection fee, it will provoke resistance from the trainees when they pay."
"Oh, then it was a slip of the tongue. It should be 'order maintenance fee'."
Chen Lie exchanged a few words with several core members of the Star Alliance before preparing to leave.
Before leaving, at Ning Xingchen's request, the name of the Star Alliance was changed to the Blazing Sun Alliance.
He didn't want his name to still circulate in the training camp even though he was no longer there.
Most importantly, the leader of the Star Alliance, who charges all trainees in the training camp a 2,000-point order maintenance fee, actually has a bad reputation and has been cursed by ordinary trainees countless times behind their backs.
After Chen Lie left, Lu Qingying couldn't help but ask Ning Xingchen, "Xingchen, are you really going to hand over the Star Alliance to Chen Lie?"
And they even changed their name to something like "Blazing Sun Alliance"?
"There's nothing we can do about it. Once I leave, no one can stop Chen Lie."
If we don't hand it over, he'll try to snatch it, and we'll lose face. It's better to agree on it now.
"Also, you need to tell the others not to clash with Chen Lie. I reckon that with his abilities, he won't stay in the genius training camp for long," Ning Xingchen instructed.
Lu Qingying nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Within half a day, a message spread throughout the entire training camp.
"Hey, have you heard? Ning Xingchen was defeated in a duel on the battle stage."
"What's going on? Isn't Ning Xingchen's Qi and Blood value close to four digits, enough to hold his own against the members of the province's youth genius team?"
How did we lose?
"I saw it with my own eyes. The person who defeated Ning Xingchen was a man named Chen Lie, who was said to be a new student."
Inside the restaurant, Feng Shuangshuang, who was eating, was surprised to hear the chatter of the students next to her.
Did Chen Lie defeat Ning Xingchen?
What kind of cousin did her aunt give birth to?
How did he achieve this level of skill at his age?
My aunt isn't from a powerful or wealthy family. To raise a genius with a Qi and Blood value of four digits, even a billion Star Yuan wouldn't be enough.
It was only after entering the genius training camp that her Qi and Blood value was able to increase rapidly, breaking through 500 calories, thanks to the 18,000 basic points she earned each month.
You can't practice martial arts without money. A martial arts genius with a four-digit Qi and Blood value is built up with billions of Star Yuan of martial arts resources.
"Hey, Shuangshuang, you're here?"
At this moment, a short-haired girl came to Feng Shuangshuang with a tray in her hand.
"Qianqian? Is that you?"
Feng Shuangshuang looked up and saw the short-haired girl, and immediately recognized her.
The short-haired girl's name is Wu Qianqian. She was in the training camp with her, and the two had been friends since school.
For the past two months, she has been harassed by Liang Xinfeng, making it difficult for her to move around in the training camp. It was only with the secret help of this friend that she was able to live a little more comfortably.
Wu Qianqian put down her plate and sat down opposite Feng Shuangshuang.
"Shuangshuang, your boyfriend is amazing! He actually defeated Ning Xingchen on the battle stage."
My goodness, his health points must be in the four digits already!
Feng Shuangshuang immediately corrected her, "Don't talk nonsense, Chen Lie is not my boyfriend."
Wu Qianqian, of course, didn't believe it: "Wouldn't your boyfriend stand up for you in the points-grabbing battle and even get penalized 60,000 points for you?"
"Is that my cousin?" Feng Shuangshuang sighed softly.
"Cousin?"
Wu Qianqian's eyes widened in surprise. "It's my cousin? That means he's younger than you? Your cousin is so young and yet he has such talent. He's a genius!"
With that, Wu Qianqian chuckled and said, "Since he's not your boyfriend, how about introducing him to me?"
"Don't even think about it, I think it's unlikely."
Feng Shuangshuang glanced at Wu Qianqian. Although her friend was considered a martial arts genius in school, she was definitely not as good as Chen Lie.
There is a significant gap between martial arts students. A martial arts student with a four-digit Qi and Blood value has a very, very small chance of getting along with someone whose Qi and Blood value is much lower.
The two are almost not even the same species.
"I was just saying."
Wu Qianqian said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, since your cousin even defeated the leader of the Star Alliance, can I benefit from that and not have to pay the Star Alliance the 2,000-point order maintenance fee every month?"
"I don't know either."
Feng Shuangshuang fell into deep thought and asked, "Did you go to watch Chen Lie and Ning Xingchen's duel? How did he win?"
"Your cousin beat Ning Xingchen by a hair's breadth, but I think the two are still evenly matched and their strengths are almost equal."
What? Didn't you go watch the duel?
"No." Feng Shuangshuang shook her head.
"Talk? Your cousin? You didn't even go to watch?"
"I didn't know they would be going up to the fighting stage. Wasn't Chen Lie supposed to be discussing something?"
"You can tell from the tone of the conversation in that group yesterday that this negotiation is definitely not going to end well and a conflict is inevitable."
Feng Shuangshuang quietly started eating her meal.
She actually wanted to go see it today, but because of what happened the previous two times, she always felt inferior to Chen Lie.
Although Chen Lie didn't say anything, she could always imagine him making fun of her.
Seeing Feng Shuangshuang silently begin to eat, Wu Qianqian also stopped talking.
While eating, she suddenly opened the forum of the Genius Training Camp's official WeChat account.
The Genius Training Camp Forum is an open communication platform spontaneously established by students of the Genius Training Camp, but it has been officially certified by the training camp.
The training camp forum has more than 3,000 registered accounts. Registration requires identity verification. Only martial arts students with a Qi and Blood value of over 100 and who are from Dongchuan Province can register and browse.
The people active on the Genius Training Camp forum are mostly current or previous trainees, as well as martial arts students who hope to join the Genius Training Camp.
While browsing through the forum posts of the training camp, Wu Qianqian suddenly saw a striking red post.
Effective immediately, the Star Alliance is renamed the Blazing Sun Alliance.
Upon seeing the post, Wu Qianqian was immediately taken aback and clicked on it to view the details.
"Due to certain reasons, the training camp student representative group, Star Alliance, has been officially renamed Blazing Sun Alliance, with Chen Lie serving as its highest leader."
The core leadership group of the Lie Ri Alliance consists of seven people: Chen Lie, Lu Qingying, Shang Chuanwu, Qiu Yongfeng, Xu Congjin, Zhao Jinghao, and Meng Qiming.
All other grassroots members will remain unchanged.
There are already hundreds of replies below the post.
"Holy crap, has this been a change of dynasty?"
"The Star Alliance was renamed the Blazing Sun Alliance this afternoon after the competition this morning? That's too fast!"
Where did Ning Xingchen, the former leader of the Star Alliance, go?
"Well, now that the Star Alliance no longer exists, does that mean we don't have to pay the 2,000 points monthly order maintenance fee anymore?"
This Chen Lie must have come up from the bottom ranks, right? He must know how much we ordinary students hate this kind of garbage maintenance fee.
We hope Chen Lie can stand up for us all and fight for our interests, waiving the monthly 2,000 points requirement.
"Upstairs, are you dreaming? Chen Lie is now a beneficiary, the biggest beneficiary of this points-based collection system."
Even if he initially wanted to abolish this ridiculous fee system, now the dragon-slaying boy has become the dragon himself.
You want him to uphold the interests of the public, which means making him sacrifice his own interests. Is that possible?
"Hello everyone, I am a martial arts student from a top high school in the city. My Qi and Blood value has reached the standard for recruitment into the Genius Training Camp. I will be entering the Genius Training Camp after the New Year. I would like to get a feel for the atmosphere of the Genius Training Camp in advance."
"What is this 'Blazing Sun Alliance' you're talking about? How did it change hands? Did the training camp instructors resign?"
"Heh, anyway, it's nothing good. You'll find out once you get to the training camp."
Wu Qianqian's pupils contracted as she browsed the forum posts, and she couldn't help but slap the table.
"Wow, the training camp has changed completely!"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her friend's strange behavior, Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but ask.
"Look!"
Wu Qianqian handed the communicator to Feng Shuangshuang, who took it and started reading the post.
A moment later, Feng Shuangshuang's expression turned to shock.
Wu Qianqian then said, "Shuangshuang, your cousin has replaced Ning Xingchen and is now the leader of the Star Alliance."
"No, it's not the Star Alliance anymore, it's the Blazing Sun Alliance now. By the way, could you help me get acquainted with them and maybe even get on their good side?"
Feng Shuangshuang returned the communicator to Wu Qianqian, who was utterly shocked and had only one thought in her mind.
Aunt, do I deserve to be entrusted with the care of such a martial arts genius?
Inside the training restaurant, He Lin, an instructor from the First Training Department, ordered a meal and ate there.
Not long after, He Lin finished his meal and left the restaurant.
Outside the restaurant, he bumped into Coach Liu from the second training department.
"Congratulations, Instructor He."
He Lin asked, puzzled, "Instructor Liu, what's the matter with this joy?"
Instructor Liu was taken aback and asked, "You don't know? It's being said among the students that one of your students from the first training camp defeated Ning Xingchen on the dueling stage. This means that one of your students has the strength of almost all the members of the province's youth genius team."
Your promotion to the provincial youth genius team is just around the corner. Then, you can expect to apply for the martial arts association's genius training bonus.
"Huh? Is that so?" He Lin was taken aback and asked, "Which student from the First Training Division was it? What's their name? How could they defeat Ning Xingchen?"
Even as an instructor, He Lin had heard of Ning Xingchen's reputation; calling him the best in the training camp was no exaggeration. Now, someone in his First Training Department could actually defeat Ning Xingchen? This was truly strange.
Instructor Liu said, "I think his name is Chen Lie? You can ask him later."
"Okay, thank you very much, Instructor Liu."
He Lin nodded, said goodbye to Instructor Liu, and was about to return to his office to find Chen Lie's contact information when he suddenly heard his communicator ring.
Upon seeing the call, He Lin realized it was from Chief Instructor Ding Haiyan and immediately answered.
"Instructor He, please come to the head instructor's office."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the communicator, He Lin immediately went to the head instructor's office.
Inside the head instructor's office, Ding Haiyan looked at Chen Lie, lost in thought.
"Chen Lie, I have already contacted your training instructor, He Lin, who should be arriving soon."
Are you really not considering being promoted to the provincial youth prodigy team?
Chen Lie immediately replied, "I am not planning to join the provincial youth genius team for the time being, so the head coach doesn't need to ask any further."
Ding Haiyan said, "You can reconsider. Your martial arts have already reached a certain level, and the instructors at the Genius Training Camp can no longer provide you with much help in your martial arts."
The Provincial Youth Prodigy Team is a better fit for you. The renowned instructors there are martial arts masters invited from other provinces by the Martial Arts Association. They all possess unique insights into martial arts and can provide guidance on your many shortcomings.
"I'll consider it."
Chen Lie simply nodded.
As soon as he returned to his dormitory, the head instructor of the training camp contacted him and asked him to go to the head instructor's office.
As soon as Chen Lie arrived, head instructor Ding Haiyan was full of amazement at his martial arts skills and kept urging him to join the provincial youth genius team.
Chen Lie was not opposed to entering the provincial youth genius team, but it was definitely not allowed to collect points in the provincial youth genius team. He hadn't even had a chance to collect any points in the genius training camp, so how could he be promoted to the provincial youth genius team like this?
