Chapter 245 Loss of Confidence
At this moment, several people passed by outside the grand banquet in Sichuan.
Seeing the decorations outside the hotel, I couldn't help but ask, "Chuan Du Grand Banquet even hosts graduation banquets?"
"Such a high-end hotel is actually hosting these kinds of large banquets with such inconsistent quality; it's completely ruined its class!"
"Lacks class? Take a closer look at who the main figures at this graduation banquet are, and then think about whether it has class!"
The man glanced at the poster and suddenly said, "Chen Lie? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before."
"This is the first place winner of this year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament!"
"Wow, so he's the top martial arts champion from three provinces! That makes sense!"
The main hall on the first floor of the Sichuan Grand Banquet Hall was arranged in a neat and unique manner.
A fan-shaped stage was set up in the middle of the lobby on the first floor. Behind the stage, a crystal screen with a diameter of 1,000 inches was playing very simple images, all about Chen Lie's resume.
"Graduation Banquet - Chen Lie's Martial Arts Journey"
In the year 7362 of the Galactic Calendar, he applied for the martial arts examination, thus beginning his path in martial arts.
According to the Milky Way Calendar, in the year 7364, Dongchuan Provincial Key High School won first place in the martial arts competition.
In the same year, he was called up to join the genius training camp.
In the year 7365 of the Milky Way calendar, he passed the provincial-level assessment for the Young Geniuses and was selected for the Dongchuan Provincial Geniuses Team.
After that, martial arts made great strides forward:
[Become a Grandmaster seed member of the Genius Team.]
[The entire genius team won first place in the martial arts competition, becoming the top martial arts champions in the province.]
[The three provinces in central Sichuan ranked first in martial arts, and won the top prize in martial arts in the three provinces. ]
[Recruited early by Blue Star University —]
Since Chen Lie's achievements were all made within the last six months, which would be too shocking, the specific dates in the video on the screen were blurred.
At this moment, many relatives and friends have already entered the Chuandu Hotel with their invitations.
In the lobby of the hotel, many of Chen Lie's relatives and neighbors gathered around the stage, watching the video on the screen.
"He's truly the top martial arts champion from three provinces! The Chen family's ancestral graves must be emitting auspicious smoke!"
"Smoke rising from the sky? I think Chen Lie is possessed by the God of War."
I remember a year ago, Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value was less than 1 calorie. My child had already entered the elite class, while he was still in the regular class. In such a short time, he became the champion of martial arts in three provinces.
The amount of Qi and blood has increased several thousand times. It's impossible to explain unless one is possessed by the Wuqu Star!
"I think it's possible. Many official media outlets have praised Chen Lie as the reincarnation of the Martial Star, and this claim may not be unfounded."
"I need to find an opportunity to ask Chen Lie's parents what his secrets were in practicing martial arts."
At this moment, the Chen Chaoqun and Chen Guangqun families entered the hall of the Sichuan Grand Banquet.
Chen Ying walked ahead and immediately saw the martial arts journey displayed on the stage backdrop screen, feeling a sense of disorientation.
She almost made it into the provincial youth talent team, which is a deep regret in her life.
The further she progressed in the Qi and Blood stage of martial arts, the clearer she became about how difficult and competitive the genius training camp was.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the top martial arts champion of the three provinces is at most someone with high martial arts talent and great skills, but she knows what it means to be the number one martial arts champion among the younger generation in Sichuan.
That's the number one among tens of millions of people. It would be abnormal if such a martial arts genius couldn't become a martial arts grandmaster within ten years. Even if he becomes a grandmaster, he would only be one of the most powerful martial artists. Perhaps, he could even become a great grandmaster.
Chen Lie has truly undergone a complete transformation. In just a few months, he has surpassed all his peers in martial arts, leaving them far behind.
Chen Ying sighed inwardly.
She knew she could no longer treat Chen Lie like a child.
Chen Lie was able to stand out from rounds of fierce competition, which shows that his knowledge and experience have surpassed my own.
Just as Chen Ying was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a sharp voice.
"Eldest brother and sister-in-law, look at the third brother's family. They usually seem humble and modest, but that's because they haven't had the opportunity."
Now that this opportunity has come, let's see how much they'll show off, with a grand banquet in Sichuan and a widespread invitation-giving celebration for their college admission.
Chen Ying turned around abruptly and saw that the gossiping person was indeed her second aunt, Chang Guirong. So she said coldly, "Second aunt, graduation banquets are held by at least ninety out of a hundred families in Dongchuan Province. This can't be called showing off, can it?"
Moreover, Chen Lie's achievements in martial arts are extraordinary, and he was specially recruited by the best martial arts university on Earth. It would be strange if he didn't choose a good place to hold his graduation banquet.
"If Chen Ye were the one to win first place in this three-province martial arts tournament and be specially admitted to Blue Star University, you and your second uncle would probably have even more to brag about."
"You—"
Chang Guirong's face turned ugly, but she was rendered speechless by Chen Ying's words. She glanced at Chen Ying's parents, Chen Chaoqun and his wife, hoping they would do something about Chen Ying.
But Chen Chaoqun and Yang Huiqin couldn't bear to scold their daughter, so they both looked around and pretended not to know.
Chen Shijian, who was behind, coughed and said, "Chen Ying, how can you talk to your second aunt like that?"
'
Chen Ying nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa, I'm just used to being outspoken."
Upon hearing Chen Ying's reply, Chen Shijian said no more.
At that moment, Chen Chaoqun suddenly saw a familiar face, so he quickly went up to greet him.
"Qidong, you're here too?"
Upon seeing Chen Chaoqun, the middle-aged man who had been greeted by him immediately said, "So it's Brother Chen! We're such good friends, how could I not come to his banquet?"
"Is your whole family here?" Chen Chaoqun glanced at the people behind the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was Lu Qidong, followed by his wife and daughter, Xu Yunyan and Lu Qingchan.
"Of course, I heard that Chen Lie not only became the top martial arts champion in the province, but also won the martial arts championship in three provinces."
"His martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in such a short time, everyone wants to come and see!" Lu Qidong said.
At this moment, Chen Gequn saw the Chen Chaoqun and Lu Qidong families who had just arrived, so he quickly walked over and said, "Brother, Qidong, you've arrived?"
Chen Chaoqun nodded and said "Mm," while Lu Qidong quickly said, "Brother Chen, I saw in the news that Chen Lie won first place in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
When did Chen Lie become so skilled in martial arts?
Chen Gequn chuckled twice and said, "Perhaps you've suddenly had an epiphany. Let's go inside first, and then sit down and talk slowly."
At this moment, Lu Qingchan walked up and asked Chen Gequn, "Uncle Chen, where is Chen Lie?"
"Chen Lie hasn't arrived yet, he should be here in a little while."
Lu Qingchan said "Oh" and followed her parents inside.
At this moment, Chen Shijian coughed a few times, and Chen Gequn then looked behind him.
"Dad, you're here too?"
Chen Gequn first went over and greeted Chen Shijian.
Chen Shijian nodded and said "Mm".
Chen Gequn then said, "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, second brother, and Xiaoying, you should all go in quickly."
Chen Ying then said, "Third Uncle, where is Chen Lie? I want to talk to Chen Lie."
"Chen Lie hasn't arrived yet."
Chen Ying nodded and went inside with her parents.
As Lu Qingchan walked with her parents, she saw the background screen of the stage and couldn't help but stop and look at it.
Seeing that her daughter was not moving, Xu Yunyan said, "Qingchan, come in!"
Lu Qingchan said "Oh" and followed her mother.
"I really didn't expect that Chen Lie could make such rapid progress in martial arts."
I remember it was on your 17th birthday that Chen Lie's martial arts suddenly soared to new heights. This is something that no martial arts master could teach you.
Could it be that Chen Lie really possesses some kind of physique suited for martial arts? Has his physique recently awakened? Xu Yunyan also felt strange.
After all, the champion of martial arts in three provinces is the number one young martial artist in the three provinces of Sichuan, and he will almost certainly become a grandmaster within ten years.
In the Martial Arts Era, becoming a Grandmaster Martial Artist meant being the epitome of power and wealth.
Lu Qingchan did not respond to her mother's words, but instead turned her head again to look at Chen Lie's "Three Provinces Martial Arts Champion" in his martial arts career.
She knew perfectly well what a martial arts champion from three provinces was. Even though she had returned to the Lu family of Dongchuan and had the support of her family, she still felt deeply ashamed in the face of such a martial arts genius as Chen Lie.
The other party's talent in martial arts was too strong. Just hearing the name of Chen Lie, the champion of martial arts in three provinces, made her feel insecure.
On the other side, Chen Lie's airship landed outside the square of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.
As soon as I got off the airship, my communicator rang.
Upon taking it out, I was surprised to find that it was a call from Wang Hui.
"Hey, Chen Lie, where are you right now?" Wang Hui's voice came through the communicator.
"I'm at the Chuandu Hotel."
"It's done. I've checked carefully, and I've brought a total of six classmates, including one from junior high. They'll be here in a bit."
"Just come in when you arrive," Chen Lie said.
"Okay, you don't need to pick me up in a bit. I've been here before, I know this place like the back of my hand."
After finishing his call with Wang Hui, Chen Lie hung up the phone.
At that moment, Chen Lie's green bubble suddenly sounded two reminders in a row.
He opened the message and was surprised to find that his junior high school classmates, Qin Siyu and Ji Lingxuan, had sent him messages almost simultaneously.
Chen Lie first clicked on Qin Siyu's message above.
Qin Siyu: Chen Lie, may I attend your college entrance celebration banquet?
Chen Lie replied: Come on.
Qin Siyu: Okay, I'm with Wang Hui, we'll be there soon [smiley face]
After replying with "OK", Chen Lie exited the chat interface and opened Ji Lingxuan's message.
Ji Lingxuan: Chen Lie, we agreed at the gathering of the three provinces to exchange martial arts ideas. Are you free today?
Chen Lie: I'm free, but I'll have to wait until the afternoon.
Ji Lingxuan: This afternoon is fine too. I can go there first. Can you send me your address?
Chen Lie sent the address directly to Ji Lingxuan.
After receiving the address, Ji Lingxuan replied, "Okay, I can go to Dongchuan Province first. You go ahead with your business. We can have our martial arts exchange this afternoon when you have time."
After replying to Ji Lingxuan, Chen Lie put away the communicator.
Beside her, Jiang Qiongqiong said, "Cousin Chen Lie, aren't you going in?"
"Okay, let's go in!"
Chen Lie nodded and walked into the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.
As soon as I entered the hotel lobby, many relatives and friends looked at me.
Some distant relatives and neighbors looked at Chen Lie with strange eyes.
"Is this Chen Lie, who was specially recruited by Blue Star University?"
"Being specially admitted by Blue Star University isn't a big deal; this martial arts champion from three provinces is truly formidable!"
"He doesn't seem to be much different from before. By the way, is his Qi and Blood value close to 2,000 calories? He managed to win first place in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, so his Qi and Blood value shouldn't be less than 1,500 calories, right?"
"1,500 calories? Who do you think you are? Even if you're not first in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, but even if you're in the top ten, your Qi and Blood value should be no less than 2,000 calories!"
"The top ten all have 2000 calories? That's amazing!"
Hearing these discussions, Jiang Qiongqiong became curious and asked Chen Lie in a low voice, "Cousin, what's your Qi and Blood value?"
"It's probably more than two hundred times yours."
"Two...more than two hundred times?"
Jiang Qiongqiong was immediately startled when she heard this multiple.
How could a person's Qi and blood levels be so high?
No wonder everyone says that the Martial Star has descended to earth. With such a high level of Qi and blood, what else could it be but the Martial Star descending to earth?
As soon as Chen Lie and his mother Feng Yuelan entered, they ran into their relatives.
"Moon Orchid!"
Upon seeing the people calling out, Feng Yuelan immediately stepped forward to greet them: "Eldest brother, second brother, you've all arrived?"
"How could I miss my nephew's college entrance celebration?"
Two men in their forties stepped forward.
Feng Yuelan nodded and said to Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao, "Chen Lie, Yaoyao, come and say hello to your uncle."
Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao both greeted, "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle!"
The two middle-aged men were Chen Lie's two maternal uncles, Feng Mingli and Feng Xueli.
Feng Mingli and Feng Xueli nodded in agreement. Feng Xueli said, "Yuelan, Shuangshuang has also received early admission offers from Blue Star University. She will soon be going to the Northwest front for military training. I was just thinking of holding a graduation banquet for Shuangshuang."
"The venue for the Chuandu Grand Banquet is quite nice. How many Star Coins would be needed for a single banquet?"
Feng Yuelan said, "This was introduced by a classmate from Chen Lie's genius group, and they didn't charge any star coins."
"Hmm? Chen Lie's classmate? Could you ask this classmate to make some connections? As long as we can use this venue, we'll pay whatever it takes!"
At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang stepped out from behind, stamping her foot: "Dad, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
If it were just your aunt's own connections, that would be one thing, but didn't you hear what she said? She got in through connections too!
Feng Xueli said, "I was just trying to find you a good venue. After all, Blue Star University is recruiting students early, and this graduation banquet only happens once in a lifetime!"
"Hmph, if that's how you are, then you shouldn't be holding any graduation banquet!" Feng Shuangshuang said, hands on her hips.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more!"
Seeing his daughter's stubbornness, Feng Mingli had no choice but to give up.
"Zhijie and Shanshan are here too?" Feng Yuelan looked at the two younger people, a boy and a girl, behind Feng Shuangshuang.
These two people are Feng Zhijie, the son of Feng Mingli (the eldest uncle), and Feng Shanshan, the youngest daughter of Feng Xueli (the second uncle).
Feng Zhijie and Feng Mingli both exclaimed, "Auntie!"
Feng Yuelan nodded and said to the two families, "Eldest brother, second brother, let's go inside and sit down!"
A glint flashed in Feng Shanshan's eyes as she quickly stepped forward and pulled Chen Xingyao aside.
Chen Xingyao asked curiously, "Hey, what are you doing?"
