Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 346 Blood God Star - Blood God Cult Saintess, Feng Lingxi

When Chen Lie opened his eyes again, he found himself standing on an empty battlefield, and in front of him was a boy of about seventeen or eighteen years old looking him over.

"Blue Star? Blue Star is also a planet belonging to the Azure Sky Star Region? Why have I never heard of Blue Star?"

Gu Tianyuan asked Chen Lie.

"Blue Star is located in the eastern part of the Azure Star Region."

"The East? Within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, there are barriers and barriers separating it from the Central Star Domain in all four directions. How can someone from an Eastern planet be able to match a Central Star Domain planet in the battlefield?"

Chen Lie simply shook his head and did not answer.

"It seems there's a problem with the matching mechanism of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. Fine, let this frog in a well on the edge of this star field experience a different kind of Refining Stage."

Chen Lie remained unfazed by Gu Tianyuan's arrogant words.

As soon as the "Martial Arts Competition Begins" notification sounded, Chen Lie instantly leaped into the air, threw a punch, and his blood and qi surged, forming waves of energy.

"boom!"

Gu Tianyuan, who had initially been dismissive, suddenly changed his expression after coming into contact with the immense force of the fist.

The power of that punch was immense, shattering the qi and blood barrier in front of Gu Tianyuan and shaking his internal organs, forcing him to stagger backward. "How is this possible?"

How could someone in the Refining Stage on a planet at the edge of the star field have such a strong physique?

Based on the power of this calculation alone, if he didn't know better, he would have thought the other party was a top martial arts genius on the planet of Glory.

Chen Lie gave Gu Tianyuan no chance to react. After the first punch, he immediately followed up with a fierce attack, unleashing dozens of punches in an instant. The force of more than 30,000 jin, mixed with blood and qi, kept hitting Gu Tianyuan. Each blow made Gu Tianyuan's blood and qi tremble and his body sway.

"Boom boom boom!"

After a series of attacks, Gu Tianyuan was immediately caught off guard and unable to defend himself.

"How can a martial artist from the edge of the star field possess such strength? Is he truly only at the Refining Stage?"

After exchanging only a dozen or so moves, Gu Tianyuan felt the huge gap between his strength and his opponent's. Not to mention retaliating, even parrying the attacks was extremely difficult.

After managing to withstand Chen Lie's punch, Gu Tianyuan took the opportunity to retreat and create some distance between himself and Chen Lie, then began to use his mental power to attack. His consciousness sea score was over seven million, making him an outstanding existence in a region of the Micro-Light Star where martial arts were close to the average. He had also created a top-tier Earth-level consciousness spirit, the Yuan-Spine Thunder Turtle.

With his second-tier mental strength, he was almost invincible against those in the Blood Refining stage.

The opponent before him was no ordinary opponent, so Gu Tianyuan mobilized all his mental power and manipulated his consciousness to launch the strongest mental attack. The powerful mental attack was aimed at Chen Lie. Based on the intensity of the mental attack, Gu Tianyuan subconsciously felt that even if Chen Lie did not lose consciousness, he would be momentarily stunned.

So the instant the mental attack was launched, he immediately launched a counterattack, activating an SSS-level martial art.

"Flying Flower Arrow Leaf Palm!"

Gu Tianyuan waved his palms, and his massive blood energy transformed into a rain of flower-like arrows, which burst forth in tens of thousands towards Chen Lie.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion rang out, and before Gu Tianyuan could unleash the full force of his palm strike with its millions of arrows, his second attack was already poised to strike.

At this moment, Gu Tianyuan discovered something crucial: Chen Lie remained completely unaffected by his all-out mental attack. Gu Tianyuan's all-out martial arts attack had left him wide open, and upon seeing this, Chen Lie swiftly shattered Gu Tianyuan's palm strike with his remaining energy, followed by a horizontal palm thrust.

With a loud "bang," Gu Tianyuan was sent flying out of the battle the moment he was struck by the palm force.

At the same time, Chen Lie was directly teleported out of the battle space.

"Virtual battle victory, current progress in the 100-match genius battle series (90/100)."

As soon as he came out, Chen Lie started another round of a hundred consecutive battles.

Meanwhile, Gu Tianyuan was killed in the battle at Sumeru, his consciousness instantly leaving the virtual realm, and his physical body awoke on the planet Weiguang. "How is this possible? How can someone from a planet on the edge of a star field be so strong?"

Gu Tianyuan suddenly stood up, panting heavily.

"Eastern part of the Azure Sky Region? Blue Star?"

How could someone in the refining stage of a marginal planet possess such robust qi and physique?

Why can't my mental attacks harm him?

Gu Tianyuan stepped out of the space room of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm and saw the famous master who had been guiding him in martial arts.

"Gu Tianyuan, what's wrong with you?"

"Mentor, I would like to ask you, are the martial arts levels of the planets on the edge of the Canglan Starfield comparable to those of our Ten Star Alliance?" The mentor replied, "Of course not. In the 58 stars of the central Canglan Starfield, almost every planet is inhabited by people from the edge of the starfield."

Of course, in recent years, our central planets have been transmitting martial arts knowledge to the peripheral planets. Perhaps a very few younger generations on the peripheral planets have caught up with the martial arts of the slightly weaker planets in the central region. However, our Weiguang Star is one of the Ten Star Alliances and a permanent council member of the Canglan Star Region. No matter how rapidly the martial arts development on the periphery of the star region progresses, it can never compare to ours.

Why are you suddenly asking these questions?

"Because I just encountered a person from an eastern edge planet in a virtual battle in the Sumeru Illusion Realm. We were both at the Refining Stage, and I was almost powerless against him," Gu Tianyuan said.

"That's strange. There are only five planets on the eastern edge, and even the strongest one, Crimson Flame Star, is far inferior to our Glimmering Star. Are you sure the other party is at the same level as you?"

"The Sumeru Illusionary Realm indicates that the other party is in the Refining Stage, so there shouldn't be any mistake," Gu Tianyuan said.

"That's strange indeed. Twenty years ago, our Star of Light only dispatched three thousand interstellar expeditionary troops, yet we were able to sweep across Star of Crimson Flame."

According to soldiers who returned from Crimson Flame Star, the martial arts level of Crimson Flame Star is worlds apart from ours.

Could it be that in the past twenty years, martial arts on Crimson Flame Star have experienced a period of explosive growth?

"My opponent isn't the Crimson Flame Star, it's the Blue Star!"

"Blue Star?"

The mentor was slightly taken aback, then said, "You don't need to worry about it. A planet with at least a hundred billion people has encountered a genius that is rare to come by in a hundred years."

Although it's a planet with a barren martial arts culture, it can still produce one or two star-domain level geniuses sometimes. Losing to someone like that isn't shameful. "I see."

Gu Tianyuan then calmly accepted his defeat.

Inside the Sumeru Illusionary Realm, after another round of a hundred consecutive battles, Chen Lie was once again teleported out of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.

In just over an hour, he played ten matches, bringing his 100-match streak to 99/100.

In these battles, Chen Lie undoubtedly encountered opponents from the central part of the Canglan Starfield. Although they were all at the Refining Stage, their strength was no less than that of the Blood Refining Stage, and these people often cultivated both spiritual power and martial arts.

After catching his breath, Chen Lie started another virtual battle.

"The virtual battleground is currently matching players..."

"Your mental strength level has been detected to be significantly beyond the five-star standard of the Eastern Region. The AI ​​will conduct a deeper matching process..."

"Match complete. Opponent: Blood God Star - Feng Lingxi (Refining Stage)."

"Entering virtual battle space..."

Chen Lie's consciousness flickered, and he found himself back in the virtual battle space.

This time, Chen Lie was surprised to find that he was no longer in a blank battleground, but rather in what seemed to be a solemn ancient temple.

Before him stood a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in ancient Blue Star attire, her silver eyes gazing at him coldly. Around the ancient temple, only a few hundred people remained as onlookers.

Chen Lie wondered, "Huh? What's going on? Wasn't this a virtual battle? Why has the scene changed?"

At this moment, the people around started talking about it.

"What's going on? Didn't the Holy Maiden choose a deep, precise match virtual opponent?"

Through deep and precise matching, the AI ​​of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm will strive to find two people of similar strength.

"With the Saintess's strength, she shouldn't be able to find an opponent in the Azure Blue Star Region during the Refining Stage. Shouldn't she be matched with a genius from another star region?" "Perhaps this Chen Lie from Blue Star is from another star region?"

"Then why isn't there a notification about the Sumeru Illusionary Realm? If we were really matched with someone from another planet, shouldn't the AI ​​have given a notification?"

"Don't worry, the Sumeru Illusionary Realm won't make mistakes. This person must be a martial arts genius from outer space."

"If she is truly a top genius from outer space, the Holy Maiden wouldn't have lost, would she?"

After all, the Holy Maiden is directly appointed by the sect leader. If judged by strength, even with the best talent, the Holy Maiden could not have been directly appointed as the Holy Maiden.

"This situation is already somewhat difficult to convince the masses. If we are defeated in front of hundreds of disciples, wouldn't we lose face?" "Our Blood God Star ranks second in overall martial arts strength in the Canglan Star Region. The Blood God Sect Leader's skills are unparalleled, and his martial arts cultivation is unfathomable. Even the Star Seekers of the Central Galaxy Empire have to give the Sect Leader some face."

"The Wind Saintess was personally appointed by the Sect Leader, which shows that she truly possesses extraordinary abilities. By saying this, do you dare doubt the Sect Leader's judgment?" "The Sect Leader's divine power is unparalleled; how could I dare question his vision? Don't you dare harm me!"

In the open space in the middle of the ancient temple, the silver-eyed girl bowed to Chen Lie with one hand and introduced herself in a slightly cold voice: "Feng Lingxi, Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult, Blood God Star, Canglan Star Region. Please enlighten me."

Chen Lie didn't give such detailed information about his family, but instead said, "Blue Star - Blue Star University student, Chen Lie, please!"

The onlookers immediately exclaimed, "As expected! This Blue Star must be an ancient planet with a long and prosperous history of martial arts in outer space. This Blue Star University is probably equivalent to the martial arts holy land of Blood God Star."

"Nonsense, you think you know everything? Can't we tell?"

"Stop babbling on and calmly observe what level the alien geniuses are at in the Dirty Refining stage."

"I have a question. This genius from outer space looks quite old, so how come he's only at the Refining Stage?"

"You don't know anything. The world is full of wonders. In the vast starry sky, there are all kinds of races. There are many races in the universe. You can't tell their age at all. Putting aside other races, just take those humans with profound attainments in blood and martial arts. Some of them are eight or nine years old but look like they are eighteen or nineteen. Some of them cultivate martial arts secrets and are eighty or ninety years old but look like children."

Appearance does not determine a person's age.

In the open space in the middle of the ancient temple, the silver-eyed girl Feng Lingxi introduced herself and then began to fight.

With her first move, she tested Chen Lie's strength, then raised her delicate, white hand and lightly struck him with her palm. Instantly, a surge of powerful blood energy, like a hurricane, rushed towards Chen Lie.

"Boom boom boom!"

The air, stirred up by the qi and blood, formed countless sharp blades that rushed straight towards Chen Lie.

This seemingly light palm strike would be difficult for even a mid-stage Blood Refinement cultivator to withstand.

At this moment, Chen Lie knew that the silver-eyed girl in front of him was a formidable opponent. He no longer suppressed the pressure of his Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones, but released it completely. The five internal organs formed a cycle within his body, instantly making Chen Lie's physique stronger by one level.

Faced with the fierce palm strike, Chen Lie swung his arm, and his surging blood and qi power instantly obliterated Feng Lingxi's palm strike.

Feng Lingxi instantly felt the intimidating power of the dragon tendons and dragon bones. Her eyes flashed, and she said in a cold tone, "It seems you also possess extraordinary bloodline. In that case, let's go!"

As soon as Feng Lingxi finished speaking, a powerful aura, seemingly unaffected by rain or dragon tendons and bones, instantly spread throughout the surrounding area.

Her hands moved erratically, and a strange pattern formed between her palms from a mass of blood.

"Myriad Manifestations Blood Flame Palm!"

Feng Lingxi pushed her palms forward, and countless blood shadows instantly fell towards Chen Lie.

Chen Lie didn't dare to be negligent either. He swung his palm, and a blood-red dragon phantom several tens of meters long coiled around Feng Lingxi and flew away.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two forces collided, producing a loud explosion. Even Chen Lie's powerful physique was forced back by the recoil. Feng Lingxi was also surprised by the force of the collision.

"As expected of... a genius from outer space."

During the Refining Stage, no one in the Blood God Sect could match her. Even many Blood Refining Stage cultivators within the sect were no match for her. Today, she encountered Chen Lie, who was also in the Refining Stage, which gave her a pleasant surprise of meeting a worthy opponent.

"Take this!"

Without hesitation, Feng Lingxi leaped forward after her first move, unleashing a hundred strikes of her "Myriad Manifestations Blood Flame Palm." Chen Lie, seeing this, also met the attack head-on, engaging Feng Lingxi in close combat.

In one round, Chen Lie and Feng Lingxi exchanged hundreds of blows.

At the heart of their battle, their vital energy surged like giant waves, accompanied by continuous explosions.

Feng Lingxi used many of the Blood God Sect's top martial arts techniques and fought Chen Lie for over a thousand moves, unleashing her maximum power, but the fight only ended in a draw.

"Such a strong physique! The purity of his blood and qi must be incredibly high, and his strength must be more than eleven times greater!" Feng Lingxi was secretly shocked, but her small face remained calm as she silently unleashed the Blood God Sect's combat secret technique.

"Possessed by the Blood God!"

In an instant, Feng Lingxi's strength soared, and at the same time, a blood-red mark appeared between her eyebrows.

"Mysterious Blood Technique"

Feng Lingxi clasped her hands together and then pushed out with a palm. With the support of the combat secret technique, her strength almost doubled, from more than 30,000 jin to 50,000 jin.

"boom!"

With the aid of a secret technique, she used the force of her palm to knock Chen Lie back dozens of steps.
