Chapter 19 Is Chen Lie really that great?
Sitting on the Riyue Group's superboat, Chen Lie said, "Let's go to Dongchuan Martial Arts School."
Soon, the superboat took off and flew towards the Dongchuan Martial Arts School.
Inside the superboat, Li Xianyu secretly glanced at Chen Lie.
For some reason, she felt that the senior in front of her was very mysterious. Not only was he extremely talented, but he also knew a big shot like Zhao Jinglan, the "Pearl of Eight Provinces".
Haven't you heard people say that even members of the provincial youth genius team can't get a chance to meet Zhao Jinglan? Does that mean Chen Lie is even more amazing than the members of the provincial youth genius team?
Chen Xingyao has such an amazing older brother!
The superjumbo landed and stopped outside the Dongchuan Martial Arts School, and Chen Lie and Li Xianyu got off the airship together.
Upon entering the martial arts school, Chen Lie went straight to the training ground on the second floor.
As Chen Lie passed the trash can next to the stairs, he took out a card from his pocket, broke it in half with his fingers, and threw it into the trash can.
"Senior, why...did you throw it away?"
Li Xianyu's eyes widened. Wasn't the card that Chen Lie had broken and thrown away the one with Zhao Jinglan's contact information?
"What? You want it?"
"No, what I mean is..."
"alright."
Just as Li Xianyu was about to explain, Chen Lie interrupted her, saying, "Go inside and practice the Cloud and Mist Steps. Worldly affairs are troublesome; try to avoid getting involved, as they are of no benefit to martial arts cultivation."
Li Xianyu could only enter the training ground with Chen Lie, but he began to ponder in his heart.
Is there a conflict between martial arts training and interpersonal relationships?
The senior is good in every way, but seems to lack social skills.
Even she could see that Zhao Jinglan, the president of Riyao, was trying to befriend Chen Lie, but Chen Lie remained indifferent. Compared to her, it seemed that he was the one who was naive and clueless.
Chen Lie naturally noticed Li Xianyu's doubts, but he was too lazy to explain.
If he were as inexperienced as he was in his previous life, he would definitely consider Zhao Jinglan a close older sister by now, and would probably even confide some of his secrets to her.
By the next day, he might not even know how he died.
The martial arts knowledge he possesses is top secret, not only on a martial arts-poor planet like Blue Star, but even on a planet with a highly developed martial arts civilization in the Central Galaxy Empire. Only the most outstanding martial arts geniuses are qualified to cultivate it.
A person who leads a group of hundreds of thousands of people, no matter how compassionate they may appear on the surface, will inevitably have a ruthless and heartless side behind the scenes.
For now, Chen Lie only wants to keep his distance from such a being who can decide his life or death with a wave of his hand, and will not have any further dealings with him until he is strong enough.
Inside the training ground, Chen Lie began instructing Li Xianyu on the Cloud Smoke Step.
Li Xianyu once again felt that divinely aided state of cultivation.
She immediately abandoned all other thoughts and focused wholeheartedly on practicing the Cloud and Smoke Step.
Under Chen Lie's guidance, Li Xianyu felt her footwork skills improve visibly, and she didn't feel any difficulty at all.
The joy of rapidly improving footwork filled Li Xianyu's heart, giving her an inexhaustible source of motivation to practice footwork.
Under Chen Lie's exclusive guidance, Li Xianyu naturally did not feel any bottleneck.
Because whenever Li Xianyu misunderstood the Cloud Mist Step and practiced it in the wrong direction, Chen Lie would correct the Cloud Mist Step in the direction that Li Xianyu had practiced incorrectly.
This is practically a martial art tailor-made for Li Xianyu.
The Cloud Smoke Steps, after being practiced to the end, had been completely modified by Chen Lie, but its martial arts power far exceeded the original Cloud Smoke Steps.
It's roughly equivalent to Chen Lie optimizing the Cloud Smoke Step in all aspects according to Li Xianyu's understanding of the cultivation direction, turning it from an ordinary C-level martial art into a top-level C-level martial art.
On the training ground, Li Xianyu used the Cloud and Smoke Steps. Her light and nimble steps flashed past the entrance of the training ground. Upon closer inspection, two or three figures actually appeared behind Li Xianyu. However, the time she spent creating these figures was very short, less than two seconds, before they disappeared behind her.
Before they knew it, an afternoon had passed, during which Chen Lie demonstrated it to Li Xianyu seven or eight times.
With Chen Lie's repeated instruction, Li Xianyu gained a deeper understanding of the Cloud and Mist Steps, and could create two or three afterimages almost every time he practiced.
Li Xianyu used the Cloud and Smoke Steps, taking light and graceful steps, and arrived at the entrance from one end of the training ground. The three phantoms that split off behind him followed in an instant, merging with his body one by one.
"Senior, how did my practice go this time?"
Li Xianyu jogged up to Chen Lie.
"Very good." Chen Lie nodded and said, "You have already mastered this footwork. If you want to improve, you can only practice more. This instruction ends here."
"it's over?"
Li Xianyu looked completely bewildered.
"As I said before, I would make you proficient in this martial art within three days, and now that goal has been achieved," Chen Lie said.
"Yes!"
Li Xianyu nodded quickly. She understood that although Chen Lie's tutorial time for her was very short, she had gained a huge advantage.
Even if a tutor provides one-on-one, hands-on guidance for a month, it still wouldn't compare to the progress she's made in just these two days.
Thinking of this, Li Xianyu bowed deeply to Chen Lie: "Senior, thank you for your careful guidance these past two days, which has allowed me to master a C-level martial art in just two days."
If you have time, I'd like to invite you to my home for a meal. My parents will definitely thank you on my behalf if they find out.
"No need. The main reason you were able to master this martial art in two days is because you already had some basic skills. Otherwise, no matter how much I taught you, I wouldn't have been able to teach you to this level."
Chen Lie waved his hand, declining Li Xianyu's invitation.
Upon hearing that he had been rejected, Li Xianyu's expression darkened, but upon further reflection, Chen Lie's rejection was indeed justified.
Even just teaching her the Cloud Mist Steps these past two days took time out of Chen Lie's busy schedule, so naturally he wouldn't have had time to go to her house for dinner.
"If it's inconvenient for you, then forget it. But thank you anyway."
"Yes, practice more when you get back."
Chen Lie gave Li Xianyu a few instructions and then turned and left.
Upon returning home, the first thing Chen Lie did was take twenty jin of raw, exotic beast meat from his room, head to the kitchen, and cook it in his own boiler.
This 20 kilograms of pure, natural, and unprocessed exotic animal meat is different from the exotic animal meat circulating in the market, which is cooked and ready to eat.
After the boiler was turned on, Chen Lie waited outside the kitchen.
He used a pressure cooker to cook the alien beast meat, which previously took three hours to ensure the meat was thoroughly cooked.
During this time, Chen Xingyao returned home from outside.
As Chen Xingyao entered the living room, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the kitchen, and she immediately went to check it out.
After coming out of the kitchen, Chen Xingyao asked, full of doubt, "Chen Lie, what were you cooking in the kitchen?"
"It's for supplementing nutrition," Chen Lie said.
"What kind of weird stuff do you use to supplement your nutrition?" Chen Xingyao couldn't help but say, "Hey, let me remind you, your so-called pseudo-nutritional saturation constitution is something you made up yourself. Don't fool yourself while you're fooling others."
Chen Lie nodded without saying anything.
Seeing that Chen Lie remained silent, Chen Xingyao could only shake his head and sigh as he left.
Seeing that the beast meat was almost cooked, Chen Lie went to the kitchen, turned off the pressure cooker, took out the cooked beast meat, placed it on the cutting board, and used a knife to cut the large pieces of meat into many small pieces.
Next, Chen Lie found a lunchbox in the kitchen and put the small pieces of meat into it.
Because the meat of the alien beast is firm, twenty pounds of alien beast meat looks like only a small lump, and it was easily packed into a lunchbox.
Carrying a lunchbox filled with the meat of the exotic beast, Chen Lie returned to his room.
At dinner time, Feng Yuelan brought all the food to the table, took off her apron, and sat down opposite Chen Xingyao.
"Yaoyao, your brother didn't come out for dinner again today. Do you know what's wrong with him?"
"I don't know!" Chen Xingyao shook her head, then added, "Mom, do you think it's because my brother's Qi and Blood value can't break through 1, and he's under too much mental pressure, which is why he's become a little abnormal?"
"Nonsense!"
Feng Yuelan glared at Chen Xingyao reproachfully.
"I'm not talking nonsense. When I came back just now, I saw my brother cooking something in the pressure cooker in the kitchen. I asked him what he was cooking, and he said it was something to supplement his nutrition."
His Qi and Blood value hasn't even broken 1, so like me, he can only use basic nutritional solutions and bread. Using those random supplements would just ruin his body!
"real?"
Feng Yuelan put her rice bowl on the table and looked at Chen Xingyao questioningly.
"Of course it's true! Why would I lie!"
"Isn't your brother supposed to have a pseudo-nutritional saturation constitution? Maybe the Grandmaster gave him some advice on adjusting his nutrition. Besides, he's an adult, so he must have his own considerations," Feng Yuelan said.
Chen Xingyao thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth, saying, "Mom, the Dongchuan Martial Arts School didn't have any master inspecting the students a few days ago. What my brother said at the Starlight Hotel that day was actually a lie."
I was at the martial arts gym on the day of the Qi and Blood Value Enhancement Class, so there was no such thing.
Feng Yuelan sat bolt upright in shock: "You brat, why didn't you tell me something so important sooner?"
"My brother told me not to tell him."
Chen Xingyao lowered her head and muttered something under her breath.
Feng Yuelan sighed and sat down again: "Eat quickly, and go back to your room after you finish eating."
Chen Xingyao hummed in agreement, lowered her head to eat, and stopped talking.
In her opinion, Chen Lie was hopeless about martial arts cultivation because his blood and qi were progressing slowly. That's why he made up such a lame excuse to ruin his body first and then get his parents to agree to him giving up martial arts.
The purpose of doing this was, of course, to ease the burden on the family, but was Chen Lie really that great?
Chen Xingyao simply didn't believe it.
