Chapter 4 All other pursuits are inferior, only martial arts are superior.
Before long, the Qi and Blood Value Sprint Class had finished measuring the Qi and Blood Values of all the students.
"Students, I have seen the results of the blood and qi test, and I have a general understanding of your scores."
Now I'm going to teach you a brand new physical training method. Pay close attention, everyone!
As he spoke, Sun Jian put on a 20-kilogram weighted sandbag on each of his limbs and began a physical training session.
The body-forging techniques of Blue Star are crude and cumbersome. The trainer must be exhausted before the body's energy can be consumed, thereby improving blood and qi.
This process is very arduous, but the speed of improving one's Qi and blood is extremely slow. Sometimes, even if one practices intensively for ten days, one may not necessarily improve one's Qi and blood by 0.1 calorie.
After demonstrating the physical training techniques, Sun Jian immediately asked the students to start practicing. He himself walked around, offering guidance to any student whose physical training techniques were lacking.
For Chen Lie, who possessed the basic body-forging techniques popular in the Central Galaxy Empire, the crude body-forging techniques of Blue Star were utterly worthless. However, his mother had paid for them, and others were practicing them as well.
Chen Lie didn't want to be an oddball, so he strapped on a weighted sofa and trained with the other trainees.
stand up.
He possesses martial arts insights at the Grandmaster level. He could easily master such a crude body-forging technique, let alone learn it after just one glance. Even if he were to improve it a few times, it wouldn't be difficult for him.
Sun Jian walked to Chen Lie's side and saw that Chen Lie's body-strengthening technique was almost flawless.
Thinking that he had only demonstrated the body-tempering technique once, while the other students' demonstrations were full of flaws, he couldn't help but admire Chen Lie's talent. Then he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that his family doesn't value him."
In the era of martial arts, all other pursuits are inferior; only martial arts are superior.
If family members truly valued it, it's impossible to end up with nutritional deficiencies.
"Chen Lie, you are malnourished, so you don't need to practice with the other students. Just watch from the side."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie nodded, removed the weighted sandbags from his limbs, and stepped aside.
Upon hearing Sun Jian's words, the dozen or so trainees all looked at Chen Lie, their expressions revealing confusion.
In this day and age, there have never been any cases of martial arts students suffering from nutritional deficiencies. How could anyone suffer from nutritional deficiencies?
Isn't it all because excess nutrients in the body lead to saturation of body cells, causing cells to be unable to absorb nutrients after taking supplements, resulting in nutrient loss?
The day's intensive course was over, and Chen Lie left the martial arts school early, intending to wait for his younger sister Chen Xingyao to go home together. However, he saw Chen Xingyao walking with three or four girls who were about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Upon seeing Chen Lie, Chen Xingyao appeared somewhat flustered. After exchanging a few words with the girl next to her, she jogged over to Chen Lie's side.
"Brother, I'm with my classmate, you go ahead!"
After saying that, Chen Xingyao quickly turned and left.
Chen Lie was puzzled, so he could only nod and turn to leave.
Seeing Chen Xingyao turn back, the girls who were with her couldn't help but ask, "Yaoyao, who's that? Your friend?"
"It's my brother."
Chen Xingyao sighed, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
After all, her classmates with older brothers had almost all entered the elite class long ago, while her brother's health and vitality were quickly surpassed by hers, making him rather embarrassing.
Upon hearing this, one of the girls immediately said, "Xingyao, so you have an older brother? How come you've never mentioned him before?"
"Xingyao, your brother is in the elite class, right? What's his Qi and Blood value?"
"In the regular class, your Qi and Blood values should be about the same as mine."
Although Chen Xingyao felt that her brother Chen Lie had embarrassed her, she had no choice but to answer truthfully since her classmate had asked.
"Really? Your brother? He's at least two years older than you, right? And his blood energy levels are about the same as yours?"
As soon as Chen Xingyao said this, almost all the girls present did not believe him.
They were all students in the top class, far superior to the martial arts students in the regular class. With Chen Xingyao's talent, she would be one of the best even in the top class. How could Chen Xingyao's brother be any less capable?
Chen Xingyao had no choice but to change the subject, not wanting to talk about her brother anymore.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned home by air bus.
As soon as he entered the house, he found the place where the nutrient solution and nutritional bread were stored.
After finishing the remaining six bottles of nutrient solution and nearly twenty packs of nutritional bread in one go, Chen Lie's hunger subsided slightly, but he was still in a state of nutritional deficiency.
The energy required to increase one's Qi and Blood value by 0.4 calories in one go is far more than a few bottles of nutrient solution and a dozen packs of nutrient bread can make up for.
Chen Lie turned on the TV, sat cross-legged on the sofa in front of it, and closed his eyes to rest.
He could feel the hungry cells in his body frantically consuming the energy from the nutrient solution and the nutrient bread.
With the Central Galaxy Empire's "Basic Body Tempering Technique," as long as he gets adequate nutrition, increasing his blood and qi is as easy as eating and drinking for him.
In his previous life, when he was twenty-one, his Qi and blood value was less than two hundred calories, so his foundation was not solid.
Given his weak foundation in his previous life, he should not have been able to reach the level of a ninth-tier Grandmaster, but he put in a hundred times the effort to make up for his unstable foundation.
Even after reaching the Grandmaster level, he could only be considered the weakest among his peers, having exhausted his potential.
The geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire had all reached astonishingly high levels of Qi and Blood before breaking through to the Martial Realm. Having been given a second chance at life, Chen Lie naturally wanted to emulate these people.
While Chen Lie was resting with his eyes closed, his younger sister Chen Xingyao and mother Feng Yuelan returned home one after another.
As soon as Chen Xingyao returned, he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
At the age of fifteen, the intensity of physical training will gradually increase. Anyone would be covered in sweat after a whole day of high-intensity training.
After taking a shower, Chen Xingyao went into a suite.
Suddenly, a scream rang out.
"Chen Lie, are you trying to die?"
Chen Lie, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, heard the noise and immediately opened his eyes, heading towards the suite where Chen Xingyao was.
Feng Yuelan hurried over and saw Chen Xingyao standing with her hands on her hips, looking sullen. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Yaoyao?"
"Mom, look, the nutritional supplements you just ordered last week, there were still six bottles when I left this morning, but now there are none left."
Also, half a box of nutritional bread is now just an empty box!
Upon seeing Feng Yuelan, Chen Xingyao immediately complained, glaring fiercely at Chen Lie with her big eyes, "This must have been done by Chen Lie!"
Feng Yuelan glanced at Chen Lie, also puzzled.
Chen Lie didn't deny it, nodding and saying, "It was me, I just expended too much energy training today."
"Who are you trying to fool?" Chen Xingyao sneered. "How much Qi and Blood do you think you can burn off all that nutrient solution and nutritional bread in just one day of training?"
"Mom, in my opinion, Chen Lie must have resold all those nutrient solutions and nutritional breads. He has a motive for doing so!"
A few days ago, he let it slip to me that Sister Lu's birthday was coming up soon, and he wanted to give her a gift. He knew that Sister Lu wouldn't like a regular gift, and he didn't have that much money, so he resold those nutrient solutions and nutritional bread.
"With so much nutrient solution and nutritional bread, even if resold at a low price, it could still fetch five thousand star coins."
Hearing her daughter say this, Feng Yuelan roughly understood.
She knew in her heart that the girl from the Lu family was quite ambitious and her talent was far beyond what her son could compare to. Even if Lu's father wanted to match them up, the possibility of them ending up together was extremely slim.
Since it concerned her son's self-esteem, Feng Yuelan didn't intend to delve into it further, so she said, "Let's just sell it then. Consider these few thousand star coins as an advance on pocket money."
"But all that nutrient solution and nutritional bread, are we just going to let it go like this?" Chen Xingyao asked.
"It's alright. The nutritional solution we ordered this time has an absorption rate of less than 20%, and it's not a big brand. We won't use this brand of nutritional solution anymore. I'll have your dad order another brand," Feng Yuelan said.
"Really?" Chen Xingyao immediately said, "I heard from my classmates that Riyao Group has launched a new type of nutrient solution. It is said that the absorption rate can reach 25%. Many of my classmates are already using it, and they all say that the effect is good."
"Okay, then we'll order this nutrient solution from now on."
Feng Yuelan comforted Chen Xingyao a few more times before running off to the kitchen to get busy.
Because Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao had trained at the martial arts school all day, Feng Yuelan prepared a particularly lavish dinner.
This stage of training is very strenuous; a whole day of it can leave you completely exhausted.
