Chapter 367 Samsung Sparring
While Ruan Liusu was observing Chen Xingyao, Chen Xingyao was also observing her.
After observing Ruan Liusu for a while, Chen Xingyao had a question in his mind.
This person, who might be her sister-in-law, was indeed impeccably beautiful and seemed to be very outstanding, but a thought flashed through her mind.
"Brother, if you find me a wife, what about Sister Lu from Dongchuan Province? Didn't you used to like her quite a bit?"
Upon hearing Chen Xingyao's words, Ruan Liusu's face immediately tightened, and she subconsciously asked, "Xingyao, who is this 'Sister Lu'?"
Chen Xingyao was stunned. She had spoken carelessly, mentioning another girl in front of her brother's girlfriend. Wasn't she trying to make him look bad?
After thinking for a moment, Chen Xingyao quickly replied, "She is the daughter of my father's comrade-in-arms."
"Oh? Is she your childhood friend? What's her name?"
"Uh, her name is Lu Qingchan, but we're not childhood sweethearts."
"Lu Qingchan? That's a nice name. Did your brother used to like her a lot? How much?"
"Actually, I don't like her that much. My brother doesn't talk to Sister Lu much either."
Ruan Liusu certainly didn't believe Chen Xingyao's words. He had just said he liked him quite a bit, but now he was saying he didn't like him that much. Wasn't that a contradiction?
It seems she should pay more attention to this girl named Lu Qingchan.
Chen Lie said, "That's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Chen Xingyao nodded. Her brother was already so powerful, the champion of martial arts in Dongchuan Province and the champion of martial arts in the three provinces of Sichuan. He would definitely become even more powerful in the future. Thinking about it carefully, Lu Qingchan was indeed quite far behind her brother.
The only one to blame is Sister Lu for not seizing the opportunity with Brother earlier. Now the gap in martial arts is so large, and their social circles have become countless.
After the meal, Chen Lie escorted Chen Xingyao back to the twelfth campus of the Department of Mental Strength.
At this moment, the second half of the top-level exchange session has begun again.
As an assistant instructor, Ruan Liuyun sought out Xia Ziying and Chen Lie, who were relatively weak, and wanted to tutor them in martial arts.
Seeing that the teaching assistant had taken the initiative to bring up the matter, Xia Ziying asked Ruan Liuyun a series of questions about martial arts.
After Ruan Liuyun answered all of Xia Ziying's questions, she turned her gaze to Chen Lie.
"Chen Lie, you've only recently broken through to the Blood Refining stage, so you should need to understand the cultivation process. Tell me, what aspects do you have questions about?"
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "I have no problem at all!"
Ruan Liuyun was taken aback and said, "Don't be shy about asking. I called you here today because I want to explain the details of the Blood Refining stage to you."
My understanding of the Blood Refining stage comes from Starry Sky University, and it might even be more profound than that of my mentor, Zheng Dongyang.
"I don't really have any questions about blood refining, but I do have another question I'd like to ask."
"Oh? What's the problem? Just say it!"
Ruan Liuyun stretched out his hand.
"My question is, through what channels is the Star Fluid obtained?"
"Is this what you wanted to ask?"
It's just common sense; which student in the super-gifted class doesn't know that?
Seeing Chen Lie nod, Ruan Liuyun began to say, "Alright, then I'll tell you. Because Hengxing Liquid is listed as a strategic reserve resource of Blue Star, even the Super Genius Class is subject to very strict control."
To obtain Star Liquid, firstly, join the Super Genius Class, and you can receive one bottle of Star Liquid every month.
Secondly, entering the top 50 of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Ranking will reward you with a bottle of Hengxing Liquid, and entering the top 20 of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Ranking will also reward you with a bottle of Hengxing Liquid.
Third, upon reaching eight times the normal strength value, Blue Star University will reward you with a bottle of Star Liquid.
"How do you get into the Qi and Blood Ranking? Is it based on combat power?" Chen Lie asked.
"Combat strength is a major metric, but it's not the only one."
To enter the top fifty of the Qi and Blood Ranking, one needs to consider a combination of factors, including innate talent, comprehension, martial arts level, age, and strength.
For example, Han Keke, who is ranked in the top 20 of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Ranking, is not as strong as several people outside the top 20 of the Qi and Blood Ranking, but she is still ranked in the top 20. This is because Han Keke is young, just over 17 years old, has eight times the strength value, perfect physique, perfect comprehension, golden spiritual power talent, and is ranked 37th on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking.
You may not know this, but people who cultivate both mental strength and martial arts are among the most valued individuals, whether on Earth or at Starry Sky University.
I remember my mentor at Starry Sky University saying that martial arts and spiritual power are inherently one; if one only cultivates martial arts without cultivating spiritual power, it will be difficult to go far on the path of martial arts.
"I know that. So, is the reward for entering the top ten of the Qi and Blood Ranking the Star Liquid?"
"Top ten on the Qi and Blood Ranking?"
Ruan Liuyun found it amusing and said, "The top ten people on the Qi and Blood Ranking are all at the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow Realm. This is the prestige of Blue Star in the Canglan Star Region. They are the top geniuses at the very top."
Whatever these people need for cultivation, within reasonable limits, Blue Star will provide it. Although Star Liquid is precious, as long as it is useful for their martial arts, Blue Star will not be stingy with it.
Besides, one person wouldn't need that much Star Fluid.
"So, if I make it into the top ten of the Qi and Blood Ranking, I can enjoy unlimited Star Liquid?"
"Of course you can, but to be in the top ten of the Qi and Blood Ranking, you need to reach the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow Realm."
Without attending Starry Sky University and receiving guidance from mentors, achieving the Qi and Blood Transformation Technique on Earth would be extremely difficult.
The three people who broke through to the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow Realm before even entering Starry Sky University are Jiang Yuan, Hao Yulong, and Zuo Xuan'er. All three of them achieved this realm by chance.
"Your aptitude should be very strong. After entering Starry Sky University and receiving guidance from its instructors, you might have a chance to reach the Great Perfection of the Qi and Blood stage, but the possibility is slim now."
Chen Lie nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
"You really don't have any cultivation-related questions for me?" Ruan Liuyun asked again.
"No!"
"Alright then, feel free to contact me anytime you need my guidance. I'll add you as a friend on Green Bubble."
Chen Lie took out his communicator and added Ruan Liuyun as a friend on a green bubble.
After adding each other as friends, Ruan Liuyun walked away.
The girl next to her, Xia Ziying, chuckled softly: "I didn't realize you had such big ambitions. You actually dream of entering the top ten of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Ranking!"
"Is there a problem?" Chen Lie asked in return.
"Of course, no problem. Having ambitious goals is a good thing!"
Xia Ziying shook her head: "However, breaking through to the top ten of the Qi and Blood Ranking on Blue Star is much more difficult than reaching the top ten of the Divine Sense Master Ranking."
""
Chen Lie said, "You're ranked seventeenth on the trainee Divine Sense Master list. Doesn't the Super Genius Class offer you any preferential treatment?"
"There are preferential treatments, specifically in the area of mental power. You can receive fifty catties of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers every month."
However, since Blue Star is primarily a martial arts world, a Divine Sense Master who cannot cultivate a powerful Divine Sense will not be very competitive against martial artists.
Furthermore, many people on the Qi and Blood Ranking are also on the Divine Sense Master Ranking.
"What about the top ten? The Divine Sense Master Ranking can't all overlap with the Qi and Blood Ranking, can it?"
"Both the Divine Sense Master Ranking and the Qi and Blood Ranking are updated every three years."
Because our Blue Star received the reward of twelve crystal pillars in the second campus square in the past two years, so many people have reached the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow Realm.
The Qi and Blood Ranking is almost entirely composed of people from this year or the year before, while many of the top ten on the Divine Sense Master Ranking are from two years ago. Not to mention those at the top of the Divine Sense Master Ranking, many have already entered Starry Sky University and reached the second major realm of martial arts, the True Qi stage.
Chen Lie finally understood after hearing Xia Ziying say that.
In the past two years, martial arts on Blue Star have made great progress, which has caused the spiritual power path to lag behind martial arts. Unless one cultivates a strong spiritual consciousness, the spiritual power path is less competitive than the martial arts path.
Xia Ziying added, "Someone like Jiang Yuan, the champion of our Blue Capital Martial Arts Academy, is truly formidable!"
He is among the top ten on both the Qi and Blood Ranking and the Divine Sense Master Ranking, and he has also created a very powerful Consciousness God.
You didn't see the sparring match between Hao Yulong, who ranked first on our Qi and Blood Ranking, and Yang Jiannan, the champion of the Martial Arts Examination from the Crimson Flame Star, the day before yesterday.
Both were at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, yet Hao Yulong was no match for Yang Jiannan from Crimson Flame Star.
"If it were Jiang Yuan, the champion of our Blue Capital Martial Arts Tournament, he would definitely be stronger than Yang Jiannan, the martial arts champion of the Great Yan Dynasty, and that so-called Fifth Prince Zhu Jingfei."
"These people are all at the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow Realm, right?" Chen Lie asked.
Xia Ziying said, "Yes! But they only had one public sparring session. If you're interested, I can take you to the other side of the three-star sparring area to take a look."
"Let's go take a look!"
"Follow me!"
Xia Ziying walked ahead and led Chen Lie to a place where three battle stages were adjacent to each other.
Next to the three battle arenas, there are three viewing areas, with people from each planet occupying one viewing area.
On all three fighting platforms, people were sparring and competing.
Once outside the Blue Star Zone, Xia Ziying immediately pointed to the central battle arena and said, "Look! The person competing against someone on the opposite stage in the middle is Shao Keyu."
He is the top martial arts master in Lingnan Province, a practitioner who has undergone eight blood temperings, and ranks eleventh on the Qi and Blood Ranking. It is said that he is only one step away from the ultimate realm of Qi and Blood Transformation!
Chen Lie looked toward the fighting platform and indeed saw two young men battling it out.
"The person who competed against Shao Keyu was from Crimson Flame Star, and his name seemed to be Tao Xiuya."
Chen Lie nodded and saw that on the dueling platform, Shao Keyu and Tao Xiuya had exchanged hundreds of moves in just two minutes. They stopped short of defeat and, after assessing each other's strength, stepped down from the dueling platform.
"Huh? Why didn't you get a result? You're leaving the battle arena already?"
Xia Ziying found this strange.
Chen Lie said calmly, "They each have their trump cards, and neither can suppress the other in a regular battle. The only way to see who wins is to use their trump cards, but if they do, even if they win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory."
"Oh? I didn't realize you had such good eyesight. You talk so eloquently and logically, you're not just spouting nonsense, are you?" Xia Ziying couldn't help but ask.
Chen Lie didn't bother to explain, and Xia Ziying took his silence as tacit acceptance.
How could someone in the early stage of Blood Refinement possibly understand the duel between two people who have completed Blood Refinement seven or eight times?
At this moment, two girls stepped onto the fighting platform to begin their duel.
The two girls, dressed in ancient attire, were clearly from the Crimson Flame Star and the Watery Star.
Xia Ziying pointed to one of the girls and said, "Do you see the girl in the purple dress?"
She is the fifteenth princess of the Great Yan Dynasty on the Crimson Flame Star, named Zhu Jingshu.
Don't underestimate her just because she's only at the mid-stage of Blood Refinement; her combat power is unbelievable. Many people from Blue Star and Water Star who have undergone three Blood Refinement stages have been defeated by her, including Han Keke, the martial arts champion of Nanjiang Province.
Chen Lie looked at the girl in the purple ancient dress.
Zhu Jingshu?
It seems to be someone he encountered during the Hundred Battles of Geniuses in the Sumeru Illusion Realm. Back then, he was only at the Refining stage, but now he is at the mid-Blood Refining stage, so his martial arts progress is not slow.
"Zhu Jingshu's opponent is Xie Qiuyue, a disciple of the Shui Mangxing Martial Academy. She is a powerful expert who has undergone four blood temperings. Her martial arts level would most likely be outside the top 20 on our Blue Star's Qi and Blood Ranking."
However, Xie Qiuyue seems to be among the top ten, or even close to the top five, in the Shui Mang Xing Martial Academy!
This shows that the difference between the planet Mercury and our blue planet is more than just a little bit.
Chen Lie grunted in agreement and looked toward the battle arena.
He scanned the area with his divine sense and found that Zhu Jingshu on the battle stage was indeed in the middle stage of Blood Refining, but her mental strength had already reached the second-level Divine Sense Master.
No wonder he dared to go up on the battle stage with someone who had undergone four blood temperings; it turns out he had this advantage.
If it weren't for the power of mental strength that could lead to victory, a mid-stage Blood Refining cultivator might not even be able to break through the defenses of someone who has undergone four Blood Temperings with a single strike.
The battle on the arena began. Because Zhu Jingshu was much weaker than her opponent in martial arts, she could only take the initiative to use her mental power to attack.
After delivering a mental attack, she quickly used the special ability of the "Illusory Mind Cloud Butterfly" to confuse her opponent.
Xie Qiuyue was momentarily stunned, and Zhu Jingshu seized the opportunity to launch an attack, striking Xie Qiuyue with a palm.
With a loud "boom," Xie Qiuyue was struck by a palm and staggered backward. She snapped out of her daze and immediately launched an attack on Zhu Jingshu.
Has Zhu Jingshu's "Pseudo-Heavenly-Level Divine Awareness Illusion Cloud Butterfly" ability been activated again? Its charm has left Xie Qiuyue stunned for the second time.
This cycle repeated three times, but Zhu Jingshu still couldn't truly break Xie Qiuyue's defenses.
By the time Zhu Jingshu used "Illusory Heart Cloud Butterfly" for the fourth time, Xie Qiuyue had gradually become immune to mental charm.
She was stunned for less than half a second before she came to her senses. Looking at Zhu Jingshu who was attacking her, she snorted coldly and pushed out with a palm.
"boom"
The immense blood energy, mixed with tens of thousands of pounds of force, blasted Zhu Jingshu off the battle stage with a single palm strike.
Zhu Jingshu was struck by a palm and sent flying to the opposite stage. She quickly regained her balance. Fortunately, Xie Qiuyue did not use her full strength, otherwise this palm strike would have seriously injured her.
"I lost!"
Zhu Jingshu looked at Xie Qiuyue on the stage and spoke slowly.
She tested what level of martial artist she could handle at most.
If it were a duel between people of the same realm, then relying on her spiritual power as a second-level divine sense master and her pseudo-heavenly-level consciousness, she would definitely be able to win in a short time.
Her strength at the mid-stage of the Blood Refining stage was still far inferior to that of someone who had undergone four Blood Refining stages. She couldn't even break through their defenses, so how could she fight them?
Xie Qiuyue glanced at Zhu Jingshu indifferently, then walked off the battle stage without saying a word.
