Chapter 20 Not Relying on Family
After dinner, Feng Yuelan told Chen Xingyao to go back to her room to rest, while she herself went to Chen Lie's room after cleaning up the dishes.
'Bang bang'
Upon arriving in front of Chen Lie, Feng Yuelan knocked on the door.
Chen Lie immediately opened the door and saw his mother. He asked, "Mom, is something wrong?"
Feng Yuelan, her face contorted, asked Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, I'm asking you, did you lie to me and your father at the Starlight Hotel the day before yesterday?"
Chen Lie realized what was happening and asked, "Did Yao Yao tell you?"
"Mom wants to know what you're thinking, and why you're deliberately damaging your body?" Feng Yuelan's face remained stern.
"I did not damage my body."
"Not yet? Can you digest so many highly nutritious dishes? Also, Yao Yao said you were cooking something to supplement your nutrition in the kitchen just now. Do you know that with your current blood and energy levels, you can't just take things randomly?"
Do you really want to completely ruin your future path in martial arts?
Seeing his mother's serious expression, Chen Lie knew he had to reveal something, so he reached out to pull Feng Yuelan into the room.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuelan shoved him away.
"What are you doing? You need to explain yourself properly today. Is this how you let me and your father down?"
Helpless, Chen Lie could only say, "Mom, I'll show you something. Come in first, and I promise you'll calm down after you see it."
Feng Yuelan crossed her arms and walked into Chen Lie's room with a cold face.
"Mom, come and see my Qi and Blood value test records from the past month on the Dongchuan Martial Arts School's official website."
As he spoke, Chen Lie opened the supercomputer in the room, accessed the official website of Dongchuan Martial Arts School, entered his Dongchuan Martial Arts School student ID, and checked his Qi and Blood value test records.
The Qi and Blood Value Testing Device at Dongchuan Martial Arts School requires a student's card to be swiped every time it is activated, so that the student's Qi and Blood Value test results can be directly uploaded to the official website.
When Feng Yuelan approached the supercomputer, her eyes widened in surprise.
Two blood and qi test values appeared prominently on the screen.
November 16: Student Chen Lie, Qi and Blood Value 2.31 kcal.
November 14: Student Chen Lie: Qi and blood value 1.34 calories.
"2.31 calories? Is this your blood energy test record? You didn't have someone else test it for you, did you?" Feng Yuelan asked hurriedly.
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, you can call Instructor Sun at my martial arts school via communicator. Instructor Sun was also present when I first had my Qi and blood levels checked."
"Wait a minute, I'll contact your martial arts instructor right away. Don't lie to me!"
As Feng Yuelan spoke, she went to the living room and took out the communicator.
On the official website of Dongchuan Martial Arts School, Feng Yuelan checked the contact numbers of Chen Lie's instructor, Sun Jian, and couldn't wait to dial them.
A short while later, the call was connected.
"Hello, is this Instructor Sun from Dongchuan Martial Arts School?"
"I am Sun Jian. May I ask who you are?"
"Oh, is that so? I'm a student at your martial arts school, and the parent of Chen Lie. I'm bothering you today to ask about Chen Lie's recent progress in his Qi and Blood levels."
"Chen Lie's parents?" The voice on the communicator paused for a moment, then continued, "Chen Lie's parents, right? I'm not trying to be mean, but you really don't value your child's martial arts training at all."
"I've been an instructor for over a decade, and I've never seen anything like this before. Since you've decided to support your child's path in martial arts, don't be so stingy. At the very least, you should provide your child with the most basic martial arts resources, right?"
"This... Instructor Sun, what do you mean by that? I'm just calling to ask about Chen Lie's progress in his Qi and Blood levels."
Feng Yuelan was somewhat confused by this accusation.
"What do you mean? I'm asking you, have you given your children 'Blood Essence'?"
"No, but Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value hasn't broken 1 yet, so he can't use the Blood Qi Essence."
The communicator was silent for a moment, then continued, "You are even more irresponsible than I imagined. As parents, you don't even know when your child's Qi and Blood value broke through 1."
I'm telling you now, Chen Lie's blood and energy levels were measured at 1.34 calories a few days ago, and the test results also showed a severe nutritional deficiency.
"Nutritional deficiency?"
Feng Yuelan looked at the display with a puzzled expression.
"Nutritional deficiency in the body can seriously affect future breakthroughs in martial arts."
If Chen Lie used the "Blood Essence" as soon as his Qi and Blood value broke 1, then breaking 2 would be a certainty, if not 3.
A senior high school student majoring in martial arts, at a crucial time for college entrance exams, who originally had a good chance of getting into a top university, has been delayed by you all, and now he may have difficulty even getting into an ordinary university!
That's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is up to you!
Seeing that the communicator had been disconnected, Feng Yuelan couldn't help but ask Chen Lie.
"What happened? When did your Qi and Blood value exceed 1?"
Chen Lie said, "Mom, I didn't actually lie to you that day."
Some time ago, someone claiming to be from outer space said that I possess a very rare constitution that allows me to directly convert nutrients into qi and blood, but I haven't been able to activate the characteristics of this constitution, which is why my qi and blood levels are progressing slowly.
He helped me unleash my physical potential and taught me a profound body-strengthening technique. He told me that if I could get into Starry Sky University before I turned twenty, he would take me as his apprentice.
"Really?" Feng Yuelan asked. "You're not lying to me again, are you?"
"Whether it's true or not, Mom, you can find out by looking at my blood and qi test records," Chen Lie said.
"So, your Qi and Blood value is currently 2.31 calories?"
"Yes!" Chen Lie nodded.
Feng Yuelan grabbed Chen Lie's wrist and carefully felt it.
"The pulse is strong and powerful, and the sound of blood and qi flowing is loud. It doesn't seem like the blood and qi value is below 1. It's more like the blood and qi value is about to break 3."
"Son, your Qi and Blood value has really broken through 1 and entered the second stage? You haven't even used the Qi and Blood Essence, how can your Qi and Blood value increase so quickly?"
Feng Yuelan was overjoyed. She had been worried about her son's college entrance exams, but now that he had made something of himself, he had a good chance of getting into a top martial arts university, let alone an ordinary one.
"I am different from others. After my physical characteristics are activated, coupled with that mysterious body-tempering technique, as long as I have enough nutrition, I can increase my blood and qi value."
"The reason I was able to suddenly increase my Qi and Blood values so much is because of the nutritious dishes I ate at the Starlight Hotel a couple of days ago," Chen Lie said.
"Then what about this nutritional deficiency?" Feng Yuelan asked.
"I need a lot of nutrition to activate my physical characteristics, but my body's nutritional reserves are insufficient, which has caused a nutritional deficit."
Feng Yuelan thought for a moment and said, "No wonder I noticed you seemed to have lost some weight the other day, so that's why."
"Do you know the identity of the extraterrestrial who activated your physique?"
Chen Lie shook his head: "I don't know. He said that once I get into Starry Sky University, I will naturally find out his identity."
"Starry Sky University..."
Feng Yuelan couldn't help but sigh.
Starry Sky University is the best martial arts university outside of the stars, enrolling only three thousand students from the Blue Star each year.
Blue Star has 89 provinces and over 10 billion people. This means that the 3,000 places for Starry Sky University will be allocated among the billions of eligible teenagers in the 89 provinces.
Dongchuan Province is a relatively barren province in terms of martial arts on Blue Star. In the past three years, fewer than ten talented teenagers from Dongchuan Province have been admitted to Blue Star University.
In the past three years, fewer than ten people from Dongchuan Province have been able to get into Xingkong University. Can my son really do it?
"It seems that important figure from outer space has high hopes for you, so you should work harder."
Now that your Qi and Blood have already surpassed level 1, I'll contact your dad in a bit to buy you some Qi and Blood Essence. We'll go all out and raise your Qi and Blood to the third stage in one go!
Chen Lie said, "No, that extraterrestrial person told me before he left that I shouldn't rely too much on my family. I should rely on myself for martial arts cultivation and strive for resources myself."
"Can this be called relying on your family? Blood Qi Essence is just the most basic martial arts resource. Look at the millions of households on Blue Star, which one doesn't prepare basic resources like Blood Qi Essence and exotic beast meat for their children?" Feng Yue couldn't help but say.
"If I get into Starry Sky University in the future, and I need any resources, will my family still be able to support me?"
Chen Lie looked up at Feng Yuelan.
"this……"
Feng Yuelan wanted to say that fewer than ten people from Dongchuan Province had been able to get into Starry Sky University in the past three years, so ordinary people like us on Blue Star shouldn't even dream about it, but she was afraid of dampening her son's enthusiasm.
So she said to Chen Lie earnestly, "Son, it's good to have goals, but we can't set them too far ahead. We can set smaller, more immediate goals, like breaking through the Qi and Blood value to 3 within a month and joining the elite class offered by the school."
"I understand that, but you should still listen to me when it comes to purchasing the Blood Essence. We should strive for resources ourselves without relying on our families. This is also what that important figure from beyond the stars instructed us to do."
Once someone starts relying on their family to purchase martial arts resources, it's bound to happen again and again, and then countless times.
In his previous life, Chen Lie had witnessed how extraterrestrial martial arts geniuses could spend money like water when purchasing the resources needed for martial arts cultivation.
It can be said that when his Qi and Blood value reaches a certain level, any martial arts resource he needs will be so precious that it would bankrupt his parents.
Rather than leaving his parents helpless and feeling guilty for not being able to help him later, he should nip this problem in the bud now.
"Is this... appropriate?"
If we don't give our son the Blood Essence, wouldn't that really be fulfilling what Instructor Sun from the martial arts school said?
"Since the great alien figure who guided me has given this instruction, let's do it this way."
If my Qi and Blood levels progress slowly by then, it's not too late to make changes.
"Oh well!"
Upon hearing Chen Lie mention the important figure from outer space, Feng Yuelan could only nod in agreement.
Since he is a big shot from outer space, his martial arts cultivation should not be lower than that of a grandmaster, right?
She could not ignore the master's instructions.
"Mom, please don't tell anyone about me being instructed by someone from outer space. It's enough for us family to know," Chen Lie instructed.
Feng Yuelan nodded: "Don't worry, I won't even tell your father about this."
Chen Lie added, "I have my own training method now, so Mom, you don't need to sign me up for any martial arts training classes or anything like that. If the school calls to ask about my absences one day, please cover for me."
You can come and check on the progress of my Qi and blood at any time. If you are not satisfied with any of my work, you can come and stop me.
Seeing her son speak with such confidence, Feng Yuelan was overjoyed, but her face showed no joy. Instead, she said solemnly, "You said it yourself. If you can't break through 3 cards of Qi and Blood within a month and enter the elite class, then listen to your mother and use the Qi and Blood Essence properly."
"Can!"
Chen Lie nodded in agreement.
Hearing Chen Lie agree so readily, Feng Yuelan couldn't help but wonder if her demands were too low.
However, without using Blood Essence and corresponding supplements, it is nothing short of a pipe dream to increase your Blood and Qi value by 0.7 calories within a month.
Unable to understand Chen Lie's reliance, Feng Yuelan could only say, "Then it's settled."
With that, she walked out of Chen Lie's room.
