Chapter 247 Enlightenment
"The so-called first place in the martial arts competition of the three provinces, you guests will surely think that he is just the person with the best martial arts performance in Sichuan."
The martial arts of today are different from the martial arts you remember from over a decade ago. Two people at the same Qi and Blood stage can have vastly different abilities, almost like heaven and earth.
"The protagonist of today's banquet is different from the scions of prominent families. He started from humble beginnings and went through comparisons among ordinary martial arts students, assessments in elite classes, competitions in the genius training camp, contests in the provincial youth genius group, and duels in the martial arts competition of the three provinces of Sichuan. He was the last one standing in this round of selection and became the champion of martial arts in Dongchuan and the champion of martial arts in the three provinces."
Those of you who have been through it all, looking at today's winner of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, you will naturally feel that Chen Lie is outstanding and formidable.
Martial arts students who are only slightly average, even elite students, probably have this idea. Only those who join the genius training camp can truly understand the tip of the iceberg of the number one martial artist in the three provinces.
Only those who made it into the provincial youth prodigy group truly understood the unfathomable nature of being the top student in the three provinces.
After saying this, Li Shumin looked around and said, "So, being the top martial arts champion in three provinces is not just a title, but proof that you have surpassed tens of millions of your peers in the three provinces of Sichuan."
In the Martial Arts Era, only a few dozen people worldwide can achieve such a feat each year.
On this occasion of his graduation celebration, we look back on the past and look forward to the future. We wish Chen Lie continued success at Blue Star University and in his martial arts endeavors, may he overcome all obstacles and continue to shine brightly!
After Li Shumin finished speaking, the guests below applauded enthusiastically.
After a round of enthusiastic applause, Li Shumin continued, "To celebrate Chen Lie's college admission, Gu Tiangu, the mentor of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team, along with all the members of the Genius Team, presented a generous gift prepared by the Dongchuan Province Martial Arts Association."
At this moment, a door on the right side of the stage suddenly opened, and Gu Tian, along with a group of members of the Dongchuan Province genius team, walked out.
The people in the hotel lobby were all taken aback.
"All the members of the province's youth genius team are here? Does Chen Lie have that much influence?"
"Of course! The mentors are here, so all the members of the genius team have to come!"
When Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan heard that it was the mentor of the provincial youth genius group, they quickly went up to him.
-
"You must be Chen Lie's mentor?"
Gu Tian smiled and said to Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan, "I am a mentor in the genius team. You two must be Chen Lie's parents. You have raised a fine child; you have truly brought honor to Dongchuan Province!"
"You flatter us, we should thank you for taking care of my son. Please take a seat, Professor Gu!"
As he spoke, Chen Gequn quickly helped Gu Tian to his seat.
Under the arrangement of the host Li Shumin, all the members of the genius team walked over to the stage.
At the table between Chen Chaoqun and Chen Guangqun's families, Chen Ying's eyes flickered.
As expected of the top martial arts champion in the province, all the members of the genius team had to give him face, and even the mentors came to pay their respects.
"Chen Lie is really something now, he has more influence than me!" Chen Chaoqun exclaimed.
Chang Guirong scoffed, "Yes, I've got too much face. So many elders are just sitting here, and I haven't even come to say hello."
Chen Chaoqun's expression immediately changed, and he didn't reply.
Chen Guangqun, who was standing next to Chang Guirong, glared at her.
Chang Guirong remained unmoved and looked at Chen Shijian, who was in the main seat: "Dad, didn't you have something to say to Ge Qun? It's about time."
Chen Shijian nodded, got up from the table, and went to the stage.
Seeing this, Chang Guirong immediately gave Chen Ye a wink and said, "Xiao Ye, why aren't you following your grandfather?"
"oh!"
Chen Ye immediately stood up and walked forward with Chen Shijian.
The members of the genius team came down from the stage one by one.
Jiang Mingyue, who was in the lead, walked down from the stage and waved to Chen Lie: "Hello, Captain Chen."
Chen Lie nodded to Jiang Mingyue.
Tang Jiu'er arrived shortly after and also greeted Chen Lie very politely.
She truly hadn't expected Chen Lie to be so cunning, even Ji Lingxuan was no match for him.
Of course, Ji Lingxuan's martial arts level is definitely higher than Chen Lie's. During the battle, she clearly looked like she had been attacked by a mental energy master. However, mental energy attacks are also a kind of one's own strength.
"Chen Lie!"
Luo Zhixun stepped off the stage and waved to Chen Lie.
When Chen Lie saw Luo Zhixun, he said, "Thank you for your help this time. My mother asked me to thank you."
"We're all friends, no need to be so polite!" Luo Zhixun smiled.
On stage, after all the members of the genius team had stepped down, Li Shumin announced, "The banquet begins!"
Soon, the staff of Chuandu Hotel brought out high-end dishes to the table.
After the host, Li Shumin, stepped off the stage, Chen Lie's parents rushed forward to thank her.
At this moment, Chen Shijian walked up, coughed, and called out, "Ge Qun!"
"dad!"
Upon seeing Chen Shijian approach, Chen Gequn immediately stepped forward to inquire, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Shijian said, "Gequn, Chen Lie's martial arts have improved so quickly lately, must he have encountered some kind of extraordinary encounter?"
"Dad, there aren't that many miraculous encounters in this world."
"Hmm? I heard that Chen Lie's dance progress is so rapid because he met a master from outer space who gave him guidance?"
Otherwise, how could he have gone from having less than 1 calorie of qi and blood to becoming the number one in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament in just half a year?
'
Luo Zhixun, Tang Jiu'er, and other members of the genius team standing nearby were immediately taken aback by Chen Shijian's words.
How is it possible to go from having only 1 calorie of Qi and Blood to becoming the top martial arts champion in three provinces in just six months?
Ji Lingxuan's talent is so high that it only took her a little over a year to go from having ten Qi and Blood to her current level of martial arts!
Such progress in martial arts within six months is simply illogical.
"Who told you that?" Chen Gequn asked in return.
"Third Uncle, isn't this what you yourselves admitted?"
"Why did you deny it so readily when Grandpa asked?" Chen Ye said at this moment.
Chen Shijian said with a stern face, "Gequn, I'm not trying to be mean, but Xiaoye is your own brother's son, your nephew. What good things are you unwilling to share with such a blood relative?"
"Dad, it's not what you think."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Gui Rong has already told me the whole story. Chen Lie's martial arts talent is not very good to begin with. He is still a student in an ordinary class in his senior year of high school. We all know this."
If he hadn't been guided by an expert from outer space, how could he have soared to the top in martial arts in just half a year and become the champion of martial arts in three provinces?
If you still consider me your father, then introduce Ono to that extraordinary person from beyond the stars.
Chen Shijian kept a cold, stern face.
The members of the genius team nearby whispered among themselves, discussing the matter.
Tang Jiu'er was even more stunned and asked Luo Zhixun next to her, "My God, what kind of martial arts master from outer space is so powerful?"
How can someone with mediocre martial arts skills be trained to become the number one martial artist in Sichuan in just six months?
"Zhixun, you're so knowledgeable, have you ever heard of such a thing?"
Luo Zhixun shook her head and said, "How could that be?"
Before becoming the governor of Dongchuan Province, my father worked at Blue Star University. Blue Star University has many people from both inside and outside the planets, but I've never heard of such a highly skilled person from beyond the stars.
"Then why did they say that?"
"I'm not sure, let's take a look!"
Luo Zhixun also found Chen Lie's family relationships very troublesome. If it were her, she would probably be too busy dealing with them and it would interfere with her martial arts training.
In her understanding, let alone the absence of such martial arts masters outside the stars, even if there were, they would not be able to turn trash into treasure.
Knowing that Chen Lie was not only skilled in martial arts but also a master of spiritual senses, an ordinary person would definitely become arrogant if they suddenly went from being a martial arts failure to becoming the strongest martial arts genius in the three provinces of Sichuan. However, Chen Lie remained calm and composed, not at all like someone who had suddenly acquired strength that did not match his abilities.
"Dad, there really isn't any expert."
Seeing this, Chen Shijian turned his gaze to Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, come here!"
Chen Lie walked up to Chen Shijian expressionlessly and called out in a calm tone, "Grandpa."
"Chen Lie, Ono is your brother. Now Grandpa wants you to introduce that martial arts master to Ono."
If you still respect me as your grandfather, then do as I say!
Ono is a grateful person. If you can help him at this crucial moment, even if he surpasses you in martial arts in the future, he will never forget you!
Chen Lie chuckled and said, "There's nothing I can do!"
Chen Shijian's face darkened, and he said, "Why don't you have any sense of family affection? Even if Ono's martial arts improves and even surpasses yours in the future, it will only benefit you."
"Chen Ye's qi and blood are now scattered, and he has reached the end of the qi and blood stage."
"Don't say there aren't any extraterrestrial masters; even if such a master did exist, they wouldn't guide someone with weak qi and blood."
"you----"
Chen Shijian had already swallowed his pride, thinking that Chen Lie's family would comply as soon as he spoke, but who knew that this would be the result.
Just as he was about to launch into a scathing reprimand, a voice rang out.
"The Provincial Governor has arrived!"
Suddenly, two rows of provincial governor's guards appeared at the hotel entrance.
Subsequently, a man in his forties, surrounded by a retinue, entered the hotel.
"What? The provincial governor?"
"Why did the provincial governor come to such a small banquet?"
"The provincial governor must have had other business at the grand banquet in Sichuan, right? It's impossible that he came here specifically to attend the banquet, is it?"
Governor Luo Chengfeng walked steadily to the side of the stage.
At that moment, a provincial government staff member introduced, "This is Luo Chengfeng, the governor of our Dongchuan Province."
Luo Chengfeng said at this moment: "Chen Lie, congratulations on winning the martial arts championship of three provinces and bringing glory to Dongchuan Province. Following the example of other provinces, I have come to congratulate you on behalf of the provincial government and the martial arts association and to present you with the medal of honor."
As he spoke, Luo Chengfeng clapped his hands.
Two people immediately entered the hotel lobby carrying a golden plaque.
The plaque is inscribed with the five large characters "The Martial Star Descends to Earth".
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Thank you, Governor."
"I hope that even after you go to Blue Star University, or even Starry Sky University, your martial arts will continue to advance by leaps and bounds, and you will continue to bring glory to the province!"
Luo Chengfeng said, "The provincial government came to offer their condolences today, specifically to find out if your family has encountered any difficulties."
If there are indeed troublesome trivial matters affecting martial arts practice, the provincial government has a responsibility to resolve them.
"There is one!"
"Oh? Tell me more!"
Chen Lie said, "Because my martial arts have progressed rapidly during this period, one of my relatives thinks that I have had some kind of extraordinary encounter, saying that I was guided by some martial arts master."
So they would come to my house from time to time to ask for information. Since they were all relatives, my parents couldn't very well kick them out. But after it happened so many times, it seriously affected my mood for martial arts practice.
"Okay, the provincial government will get involved in this matter. After investigating the whole story, they will issue a warning to the public," Luo Chengfeng said.
Beside him, Chen Shijian's face was grim: "Governor, isn't it inappropriate for the authorities to interfere in our family's dealings?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Chen Shijian, and I am a senior designer at Xingzhou, a state-owned enterprise in southern Jiangsu Province. This is my work ID!"
Chen Shijian took out his work ID, but Luo Chengfeng only glanced at it and did not take it.
"I don't care what kind of interactions you have with your relatives, but if it delays the martial arts champions from the three provinces from practicing, the authorities must intervene."
Do you know that this is the first time our Dongchuan Province has been able to hold its head high in the combined victories of Xichuan and Yunchuan provinces?
"Provincial Governor, I know my grandson well. Half a year ago, his Qi and Blood value was less than 1. Now his martial arts cultivation is so high because he was guided by an extraterrestrial master."
If I could receive guidance from an extraterrestrial master, my other grandson would surely bring glory to the province!
"Why didn't it break 1 six months ago?"
Luo Chengfeng was also slightly startled and looked at Chen Lie.
As a Grandmaster, he could only sense that Chen Lie possessed abundant qi and blood, a profound foundation in martial arts, and was almost entirely genuine.
Such progress in just six months is extremely rare, even in extraterrestrial settings, as far as he knows.
"I also know something about extraterrestrial life, and there are no such experts as you described there."
If what you say is true, and Chen Lie's martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds in just six months, then there's only one explanation: he has achieved enlightenment in martial arts!
"Enlightenment?"
The members of the genius team standing nearby were all taken aback.
They had also heard of the concept of enlightenment.
It is a person who is mediocre in martial arts, who suddenly awakens the inspiration to practice martial arts, and thus makes rapid progress in martial arts.
However, looking at the entire Earth, there are no examples of enlightenment yet, and the concept of enlightenment itself originated from extraterrestrial sources.
"Chen Lie, the provincial governor will follow up on what you said and will absolutely not let anyone affect your mood for martial arts training."
Besides that, is there anything else we need the provincial government's help with?
"No more!" Chen Lie shook his head.
"Alright, then the provincial government won't disturb your banquet!"
After greeting Chen Lie's parents, Luo Chengfeng put down the plaque that read "Martial Star Descends to Earth" and left the hotel.
Chen Ye's face was grim. Chen Lie was unwilling to introduce him to a master, and even sought the support of the provincial governor. Wouldn't that mean his martial arts would be ruined?
As for the idea of enlightenment, he didn't believe it at all. If one could truly be enlightened, why wait until now to achieve enlightenment instead of waiting until now?
"The provincial governor personally extended his greetings; is this the weight of a martial arts champion from three provinces?"
"As expected, the Blue Star government values martial arts. The provincial governor, a grandmaster, actually condescended to attend this small graduation banquet!"
The guests were all surprised.
