Upon seeing his mother, Feng Yuelan, return, Chen Xingyao immediately said, "Mom, the strength testing machine in the training room is broken."
Feng Yuelan was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly asked, "The strength testing device was just bought today, how could it be broken?"
"My brother just tested his strength, and maybe he was too strong, because a lot of cracks appeared on the back of the strength testing instrument."
Upon hearing Chen Xingyao's words, Feng Yuelan immediately went to the training room to check.
After coming out, she murmured, "It really is true. The equipment produced by this second-rate martial arts equipment company in the province is really unreliable."
No wonder it's half the price of big companies; the quality is terrible.
"Mom, this strength testing device is indeed not as good as those made by big companies. However, I guess the main reason it broke down is because my brother is too strong."
"How strong can it be?"
"A strength value of over four thousand jin."
"More than four thousand jin?"
Feng Yuelan immediately looked at her son Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, when did your strength become so strong?"
"Recently, I've made some progress in martial arts, so my strength has increased as well," Chen Lie said.
"Your strength is now on par with a second-tier martial artist."
Second-tier martial artist?
Chen Lie pondered in his heart.
He cultivates martial arts in the manner of the Central Galactic Empire.
Warriors from the Central Galactic Empire and warriors from Earth are practically not even the same species.
At the same level, warriors from the Central Galaxy Empire could easily defeat a hundred warriors from Earth.
"Brother, your strength has already reached the standard to be shortlisted for the provincial youth genius team, right? Have you thought about when you will join the provincial youth genius team?" Chen Xingyao asked.
"Probably after the New Year."
Chen Lie replied that he wasn't in a hurry; he needed to stay in the genius training camp to collect more points.
"Happy New Year! Your dad is coming back tomorrow, so our family has to celebrate in advance."
Feng Yuelan felt as if she were in a dream during this period.
Her son, who had always been a source of worry for her and whose martial arts performance was terrible, suddenly transformed into one of the most outstanding martial arts geniuses in the entire province.
Her daughter's martial arts achievements also improved by leaps and bounds, giving her a sense of unreality.
"I'll contact the martial arts equipment company's after-sales service tomorrow to see if I can get a new instrument."
"Wait a moment, Mom will go make you dinner."
After Feng Yuelan finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
After having a quick dinner, Chen Lie returned to his room.
After cultivating his mental strength for most of the night, Chen Lie didn't rest until late into the night.
The next day, Chen Lie was awakened by a commotion outside the door.
In the living room, a woman in her forties and a girl who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old were sitting on the sofa.
Feng Yuelan sat opposite the woman and asked, "Sister-in-law, what brings you here so early?"
"Yuelan, I came here specifically to see Chen Lie."
"To see Chen Lie?"
"Yes, Shuangshuang told me that Chen Lie took great care of her in the genius training camp, so I came here today specifically to thank Chen Lie."
"I thought it was something serious," Feng Yuelan said immediately upon hearing this. "I asked Shuangshuang to take care of Chen Lie, but how come it's turned into Chen Lie taking care of Shuangshuang?"
"Yue Lan, don't you know? Chen Lie is now the number one student in the genius training camp."
In the genius training camp, everything depends on performance, so although Chen Lie is a new student, he is capable of taking care of Shuangshuang.
"Oh? Why didn't Shuangshuang come?" Feng Yuelan asked.
"She's probably just shy. You came to our house specifically to ask her to look after Chen Lie, but instead, she's the one being taken care of by Chen Lie."
"This child is too shy. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Feng Yuelan shook her head.
"Shuangshuang has always been like this since she was little, she's very shy."
The middle-aged woman chuckled twice.
This middle-aged woman is Feng Shuangshuang's mother, Yang Huixian.
The girl next to Yang Huixian listened to their conversation, and her face clearly showed some impatience.
She suddenly asked, "Auntie, where's Yaoyao?"
Feng Yuelan said, "Yaoyao is still in her room and hasn't come out yet."
"Okay, I'll go get her!"
Upon hearing this, the girl immediately got up and headed towards Chen Xingyao's room.
It's clear she's very familiar with this place. "Although Shanshan and Yaoyao haven't seen each other for almost a year, their relationship is still as good as ever," Feng Yuelan said.
"Where did you say a year? It's only been half a year. Have you forgotten that last summer, Yaoyao and Shanshan enrolled in the same martial arts beginner class?"
"Yes, that's true." Feng Yuelan nodded.
She glanced at her niece, Feng Shanshan, who was the same age as her daughter.
Feng Shanshan arrived at Chen Xingyao's room, knocked twice, and then pushed the door open and went inside.
"Yaoyao, are you up yet?"
Chen Xingyao had just gotten out of bed when she heard Feng Shanshan's voice and immediately went to the bathroom in the room to wash up.
After coming out of the washroom, Chen Xingyao saw Feng Shanshan push the door open and walk in, so she asked, "Shanshan, what brings you here?"
"I came with my mom," Feng Shanshan said.
"We've arrived way too early!" Chen Xingyao couldn't help but say.
"Yes, my mom came to see Chen Lie this time. She guessed that if she came late, Chen Lie might have gone out to practice martial arts, so she came a little early."
Chen Xingyao asked in surprise, "Looking for my brother? Why would you want to see my brother?"
"My sister told me that Chen Lie was quite good at the genius training camp and helped my sister."
However, I have serious doubts about this.
Yao Yao, tell me, what exactly happened to Chen Lie?
I don't believe someone who can't even master basic fighting techniques could suddenly transform into a martial arts genius. Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyao immediately retorted, "Who said my brother can't even master basic fighting techniques?"
Feng Shanshan said, "This past summer, when the two of us were attending a martial arts introductory training course at the martial arts school, I asked Chen Lie to demonstrate the fighting techniques for us."
Who knew that his fighting techniques were full of flaws? I studied with him for more than a week before the martial arts instructor pointed out that what he was teaching was completely wrong, causing me to waste almost half a month of my time.
Don't you know about this too? You must have messed up your training back then, right?
Chen Xingyao retorted, "My brother is just a charlatan, he was just teasing you. It's just a simple fighting technique, it's not difficult for him at all."
Feng Shanshan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Yaoyao, what's wrong with you?"
Didn't you always tell me that your brother was actually pretty useless? That he was completely unsuitable for martial arts?
Why has your tone changed so drastically now?
"Nonsense! When did I say my brother was a good-for-nothing? He's a martial arts genius. If he's not suited for martial arts, then how many people in the entire Dongchuan Province are?"
Chen Xingyao's expression changed, and he retorted loudly.
Chen Xingyao's response immediately stumped Feng Shanshan, who said, "No, are you forgetful? I have all the messages you sent me before, both voice and text messages. Do you want me to find them and show them to you?"
"There are still records?" Chen Xingyao immediately said, "Delete them, delete them all!"
"I'll delete it if you want, but then tell me what exactly happened," Feng Shanshan said.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xingyao said, "Actually, my brother has a great talent for martial arts; he just keeps his strength hidden and hasn't told anyone."
"You didn't even tell me?" Feng Shanshan asked.
Chen Xingyao hummed in agreement and continued, "My mom just bought me a strength tester yesterday, and my brother tested my strength."
I was right there watching. The strength reading was over four thousand jin (a unit of weight), and even the strength testing device cracked from the impact. You can estimate my brother's qi and blood levels.
"More than four thousand jun? Does that mean your qi and blood value is at least 1,300 calories?"
"They've passed the provincial youth genius group's standards?" Feng Shanshan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"My brother said yesterday that he plans to join the provincial youth genius team after the New Year."
"Is it really possible to join the provincial youth genius team?"
"Nonsense, his Qi and Blood values have already met the standards, why can't he join the provincial youth genius team?"
Chen Xingyao rolled her eyes at Feng Shanshan.
Feng Shanshan was so shocked that she was speechless.
At first, she was very skeptical when she heard how amazing Chen Lie was in the genius training camp. Now that even Chen Xingyao's attitude has changed so completely, doesn't that prove the truth of the rumor?
As they spoke, Feng Shanshan and Chen Xingyao left the room and headed towards the living room.
Upon seeing Yang Huixian talking to her mother, Chen Xingyao stepped forward and greeted her, "Auntie."
"Um."
Yang Huixian glanced at Chen Xingyao and asked, "Yaoyao, how's your martial arts lately? How much is your Qi and Blood?"
Chen Xingyao thought for a moment, then replied without revealing his true Qi and Blood value, "It's alright, my Qi and Blood value is only in the single digits."
"Single digits? Has it broken 1? What's the exact number?"
"Less than 5 calories."
Explain it more clearly.
"Just over 4 calories."
"What? 4 calories?"
Yang Huixian was startled and asked, "Your Qi and Blood value has exceeded 4 cards?"
"At your age, how is that possible?"
Feng Shanshan also looked at Chen Xingyao with a shocked expression.
We all enrolled in the martial arts competition together, and a few months ago we were asking each other about our results. They were all about the same. How come she suddenly got so much ahead of us?
"It shouldn't have been possible, but my brother taught me some martial arts knowledge recently, which made my Qi and blood levels increase by leaps and bounds."
"What? Is Chen Lie's guidance really that useful?" Yang Huixian couldn't help but ask.
Feng Shanshan, who was standing nearby, said, "Mom, my cousin's guidance might really be that useful. I just heard Yaoyao say that my cousin Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value has reached over a thousand, and he will be joining the provincial youth genius team after the New Year."
"Has Chen Lie really reached the standard of the province's youth genius group?"
Yang Huixian initially thought her eldest daughter was exaggerating, but now it seems there's more to it than meets the eye.
At that moment, Chen Lie came out of the room.
As soon as Chen Lie came out, Feng Yuelan said to him, "Chen Lie, your aunt has brought your cousin Shanshan to see you."
Chen Lie nodded, walked to the sofa in the living room, and called out to Yang Huixian, "Auntie."
"Chen Lie, your aunt came here specifically to thank you."
Shuangshuang said, "You took great care of her at the talent training camp and even lent her a lot of martial arts resources."
"These are all minor matters," Chen Lie shook his head.
"It doesn't matter if it's a small matter or a big matter; what's rare is that you have this kind of heart."
"But Chen Lie, since you're so skilled in martial arts, why don't you take some time to give Shuangshuang some pointers? She's at a crucial stage in her martial arts training. If you can give her some useful advice, it might save her months of arduous practice," Yang Huixian said.
"Okay, Auntie, I will if I have the chance." Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
"That's good. I heard you're going to join the provincial youth talent team after the New Year?"
"I have that plan."
"Before you join the provincial youth genius team, remember to give your cousin some pointers on martial arts."
"Yes, I can't forget it."
At this moment, Feng Shanshan's eyes were fixed on Chen Lie, constantly observing him.
Her cousin seemed to have indeed undergone some inexplicable changes, no longer behaving frivolously as before.
"Um—Cousin Chen Lie, could you check my martial arts skills for me when you have time?"
Feng Shanshan couldn't help but say.
She thought that with her Qi and Blood value exceeding 2, she could overpower Chen Xingyao, but little did she know that Chen Xingyao's Qi and Blood value was already so terrifying.
To be honest, she was a little unconvinced. At this age, someone with a blood energy level of over 4 should be able to join the elite class.
They're not from any powerful or wealthy family. They've only been taking the martial arts exam for half a year. How could their qi and blood levels have improved so quickly?
Are the martial arts prodigies who made it into the provincial youth genius team really that amazing?
How can someone's martial arts improve so significantly with just a few pointers?
"Can."
Chen Lie nodded, without refusing.
As far as I can remember, although my little cousin Feng Shanshan was very disrespectful to him in the past, I was too lazy to argue with her.
They're all relatives, and besides, his mother has a strong affection for his uncle's family.
Feng Shanshan felt a little embarrassed. She recalled her strange behavior towards her cousin before, and combined with her request just now, she felt ashamed.
Yang Huixian didn't stay at Chen Lie's house for long. After exchanging a few more words with Feng Yuelan, she left with Feng Shanshan.
In the afternoon, Chen Gequn also went home for his annual leave.
That evening, Chen Gequn was informed of his son Chen Lie and daughter Chen Xingyao's martial arts achievements.
Chen Gequn asked incredulously, "You mean? Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value has exceeded four digits? He can join the provincial youth genius team after the New Year?"
"And Yao Yao's martial arts have also progressed rapidly, with her Qi and Blood value exceeding thirty calories?"
Feng Yuelan said, "Yes, all of this is because a great figure from outer space imparted martial arts knowledge to Chen Lie, and Chen Lie recently passed on this martial arts knowledge from outer space to Yao Yao."
"Could the martial arts civilizations outside of Earth be so much more advanced than those on Earth?" Chen Gequn asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know about that, because we've never been to outer space either, but it's still a good thing."
The sons have become so successful, and the daughter also has a bright future ahead of her.
Who knows, both siblings might be able to attend Hope Starry Sky University.
Chen Gequn nodded and said, "This secret must be kept strictly guarded. No matter who asks us about it in the future, we must not say that it was because of the advanced martial arts knowledge from outer space that the two children were transformed."
"I know that, and I've already told both of my children."
