Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 345 The Glimmering Star, Gu Tianyuan

Chen Lie stood up and used his divine sense to examine his current physical condition.

Even without using his mental powers, he could easily defeat an ordinary Blood Refining stage cultivator using only his martial arts strength. Realizing his strength was still slightly lacking, Chen Lie used two resource books to exchange for two rare martial arts treasures that increased blood energy intensity and two that increased blood energy purity, raising his blood energy to 2507.37 calories and his strength to 32481.75 jin. His strength was less than 0.1 times away from thirteen times the normal amount.

But even this tiny 0.1 times is extremely difficult to break through.

Because his own strength value has already reached a fairly high base, the only way to break through is to use a celestial treasure like the Star Liquid. In addition, cultivating Pure Yang Blood can also greatly increase the purity of blood and qi. If he fails to grasp the Pure Yang Blood stage and increase his strength value by 15 times in one fell swoop, then he will be unable to reach the third level of the Blood and Qi Extreme Realm, the realm of blood and qi as violent as a dragon and as vast as the sea.

"After the completion of the Refining Stage, if you want to cultivate Pure Yang Blood, you need a rare item like the Starry Night Liquid, a treasure of the starry sky."

This is something that Earth certainly doesn't have; if you want to obtain it, you must demonstrate your own value.

Chen Lie pondered for a while. Even if Blue Star wanted to obtain the rare artifact he needed for cultivating his precious bloodline from outer space, it would come at a price. Therefore, Chen Lie had long planned ahead. Since he had been suppressed to this extent and discovered by the authorities, Blue Star would naturally offer some compensation to prevent geniuses from feeling discouraged. The amount of this compensation would depend on how much value he could demonstrate.

With his Heavenly-level spiritual awareness, eight times his strength, and over two million points in his sea of ​​consciousness, his combined value should be enough for the authorities to pay some price to purchase what he needs from beyond the stars.

The next morning, Chen Lie took a public airship to the thirteenth campus.

The thirteenth campus is a gathering place for top geniuses of Blue Star University, and the location of the super genius class.

As Luo Zhixun had previously told Chen Lie, there were fewer than one hundred people in the Super Genius Class. Only those ranked in the top fifty on the Qi and Blood Ranking and the Divine Sense Master Ranking were qualified to enter the Super Genius Class. Only by entering the Super Genius Class could one be considered to have squeezed into the ranks of the top geniuses of Blue Star.

The reason why the Super Genius Class has fewer than 100 students is that the top 50 on the Qi and Blood Ranking and the top 50 on the Divine Sense Master Ranking largely overlap. The Thirteenth Campus is the smallest campus of Blue Star University, with fewer than 1,000 students even including the extra students in the Super Genius Class, but it enjoys far more martial arts resources than any other campus.

Upon arriving at the thirteenth campus, Chen Lie asked a passerby for directions and learned where the registration area for the extra students in the Super Genius Class was located.

Upon arriving at the registration area, Chen Lie found it almost deserted.

Just as Chen Lie was about to enter an office where he was supposed to register, a familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"Chen Lie, what are you doing here?"

Chen Lie turned his head and saw that the person who called out to him was actually Ji Lingxuan.

At that moment, Ji Lingxuan was looking at him with a strange expression.

Upon seeing Ji Lingxuan, Chen Lie was immediately surprised: "You've broken through to the Blood Refining stage?"

Ji Lingxuan hummed in agreement: "It happened two days ago."

"Your cultivation progress is quite fast."

"It's alright, I'm just following the steps. My cultivation level was already a bit higher than yours, but now there's almost no difference between us, which means your progress is faster than mine," Ji Lingxuan said.

Chen Lie didn't say much. His advanced martial arts knowledge was far superior to Ji Lingxuan's. How could they be the same?

"Why is Chen Lie here? Could it be that he has also met the criteria for being an extra student in the Super Genius Class?" Ji Lingxuan asked. "He hasn't met the criteria, but I have a letter of recommendation that allows him to become an extra student in the Super Genius Class directly."

Judging from your words, are you perhaps also an unofficial student here to report for duty?

"Yes, that's me." Ji Lingxuan nodded, then added, "Could it be that Chen Lie hasn't reached the completion stage of the Dirty Refinement realm?"

"I just finished cultivating the fifth organ yesterday, and the refining stage is now complete."

"Having reached the completion of the Refining Stage, doesn't that already meet the standard for an unofficial student in the Super Genius Class?"

"Aren't there other criteria for non-tenured students?"

"Isn't it just a golden talent in mental strength and a perfect martial arts physique? Could it be that Chen Lie isn't one?" Ji Lingxuan wondered.

Chen Lie did not answer Ji Lingxuan's question, but asked, "You are also an unstaffed student who has registered. Do you know the registration process?" "No, my mentor came with me, and she is handling my registration."

Did Chen Lie not have his advisor come along to guide him through the process?

"No!" Chen Lie shook his head, wondering if he should send a message to his teaching assistant or tutor to ask them to come over. "Oh, I see. Then I'll ask my tutor to help you with the registration later," Ji Lingxuan said.

"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."

"You are welcome."

After Ji Lingxuan finished speaking, she went to an office to find her tutor in the genius class.

Just then, Li Ruolin, Ji Lingxuan's tutor in the genius class, walked out of her office.

"Student Ji, your registration has been completed. Now I will take you to the thirteenth campus to register."

Ji Lingxuan then said, "Wait... Professor, I need your help with something."

"Speak, what is it!"

"Professor, you met Chen Lie before. He's here to register today, but his supervisor isn't with him. So, could you please help him with the procedures for becoming an unofficial student?"

"Huh? It's you?"

Li Ruolin looked at Chen Lie behind Ji Lingxuan.

She remembered that Chen Lie had tested and achieved the maximum level of talent. With his aptitude, becoming an unofficial student in the super genius class would be no problem for him. So she said, "You also meet the standards for an unofficial student, right? The unofficial student strength assessment has already been completed?"

"No, but I do have a letter of recommendation."

"What letter?" Li Ruolin asked.

Chen Lie handed the letter directly to Li Ruolin.

Li Ruolin took the letter from Chen Lie and was immediately shocked. She murmured, "It's actually a letter from Principal Qin. You know Principal Qin Zhenwei?"

Chen Lie simply nodded, but didn't say anything more.

Li Ruolin was puzzled. Of course she knew Qin Zhenwei; he was a renowned ninth-level Grandmaster martial artist.

With the connection of a ninth-level grandmaster, how could he possibly be suppressed by any powerful figure? What powerful figure could ignore a ninth-level grandmaster?

"With this letter of recommendation, you don't need to go through all this trouble. Just come with me. I'll take you and Ji Lingxuan to the Super Genius Class in the 13th Campus. You can give this letter to the tutor of the Super Genius Class, and he'll know what to do," Li Ruolin said, handing the letter back to Chen Lie.

Ji Lingxuan looked at the letter in Chen Lie's hand with a strange expression.

"Alright, you two, come with me."

After saying one sentence, Li Ruolin turned around and left the registration area first.

Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan caught up with Li Ruolin.

I followed Li Ruolin to the square of the thirteenth campus.

Chen Lie could see from afar that many students were taking turns to fight.

"Tomorrow, a group of martial arts geniuses from the five stars of the Eastern Region will come to Blue Star to exchange martial arts techniques."

Unless you're an extra student in the super-genius class, you won't have the opportunity to come into contact with alien martial arts.

Ji Lingxuan, the reason I made you an unofficial student in the super genius class in such a hurry is because of this matter.

Extraterrestrial martial arts have their unique aspects. If you can exchange martial arts techniques with extraterrestrial visitors, it might be beneficial for you. You should make the most of this opportunity tomorrow.

Li Ruolin said.

"Alien Martial Arts..."

Ji Lingxuan murmured to herself. She had never learned anything about extraterrestrial martial arts, and a slight curiosity arose about them.

Soon, Li Ruolin arrived at the square and called out to the male instructor who was lecturing several students.

"Yu Yuan, come here for a moment."

Upon hearing this, the male instructor immediately stopped lecturing the students and went to Li Ruolin.

"Oh? Isn't this Li Ruolin, the tutor from the gifted class? What brings you to the thirteenth campus today?" the male tutor asked.

Li Ruolin said expressionlessly, "Enough with the nonsense, I've brought two extra students from the super genius class for you today."

"Two? Your class is so full of talent that you have two students who have become extra students in the super genius class?" The male teacher was slightly surprised.

"One of these two students is in my class, and the other is in the top genius class, Tan Qihui's class."

Li Ruolin didn't say much, but directly gave a document to the male tutor.

The male supervisor took the document, glanced at it, and immediately asked, "There's only one person's registration form. Where's the other person's?"

Li Ruolin gave Chen Lie a wink and said, "Give your letter of recommendation to this person."

Chen Lie nodded and handed over the letter.

The male tutor took the letter Chen Lie handed him, glanced at it, and immediately asked, "A letter of recommendation from Professor Qin? What's your relationship with Professor Qin?" "Alright, Yu Yuan, why are you asking so many questions? Knowing it's a letter from Principal Qin, just follow it. Why are you asking so many questions?" "Professor Qin has always been of high moral character and almost never interferes with the cultivation of geniuses. How could he…?"

"You don't need to doubt this or that. This Chen Lie is qualified to join the super genius class. This status as an extra student is a bit unworthy of him," Li Ruolin said.

"Not good enough? What do you mean?"

Li Ruolin didn't bother explaining to the male instructor, but instead said directly to Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan, "This is one of the instructors for the Super Genius Class, named Yu Yuan. If you encounter any problems in the 13th campus in the future, just go to him."

Ji Lingxuan and Chen Lie greeted Yu Yuan, calling out, "Professor Yu."

Yu Yuan nodded and said, "There are more than 500 students in our super genius class who are not officially enrolled. They usually practice martial arts here, in the square of the thirteenth campus."

The thirteenth campus is equipped with all kinds of martial arts facilities, including a separate Sumeru Illusionary Realm.

"The students are practicing martial arts now. You can also join in for a match. I'll introduce everything to you when all the students gather tomorrow." Yu Yuan said, then told Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan about the restaurants and dormitories in the thirteenth campus. During this time, Li Ruolin said goodbye and left.

Finally, Yu Yuan said to Ji Lingxuan and Chen Lie, "Tomorrow, young martial artists from the five stars of the Eastern Region, Crimson Flame Star and Watery Star, will visit Blue Star. There should be a session where they will exchange martial arts with us. Try not to miss it."

After saying this, Yu Yuan let Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan explore the thirteenth campus on their own.

After Yu Yuan left, Ji Lingxuan gave Chen Lie a meaningful look and said, "Chen Lie, would you be interested in sparring?" Chen Lie shook his head and said, "Maybe next time. Seeing that Sumeru Illusion Palace ahead, I suddenly remembered that my genius hundred-battle streak in the Sumeru Illusion Palace is not over yet. I need to go to the Sumeru Illusion Palace first."

"A hundred consecutive battles of geniuses?" Ji Lingxuan was taken aback and said, "I have completed all the progress in the hundred consecutive battles of geniuses held by Starry Sky University in the Sumeru Illusion Realm. However, I don't know how the Ancient Star Exploration Tickets I was awarded will be delivered to me."

"You've achieved a 100-game winning streak?"

Ji Lingxuan hummed in agreement: "I entered Blue Star University earlier than you."

After exchanging a few words with Ji Lingxuan, Chen Lie went directly to the nearby Sumeru Illusion Palace.

The Sumeru Illusion Palace in the thirteenth campus is no smaller than the Sumeru Illusion Palace in the first campus. It can accommodate a thousand people to move around in the Sumeru Illusion Palace at the same time. The several hundred people in the thirteenth campus directly occupy a Sumeru Stone.

Chen Lie entered the Virtual Illusion Palace, found a space room, and followed the prompts to enter the hibernation pod.

An intelligent notification sounded inside the space: "Please relax your mind. You are connecting to the Sumeru Stone and attempting to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm."

"The Sumeru Stone connection is successful. The Sumeru Illusionary Realm passage is open. You are about to enter the Sumeru Illusionary Realm..."

In the blink of an eye, Chen Lie felt his consciousness leave his physical body and arrive in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.

"Successfully arrived in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. Please select the Sumeru Illusionary Realm entry area..."

Upon seeing the virtual screen in front of him, Chen Lie didn't hesitate and directly selected the eastern part of the Canglan Star Region.

"Successfully landed in the eastern part of the Canglan Starfield."

Suddenly, Chen Lie found himself in a vast, white space.

As soon as he arrived in the eastern part of the Canglan Starfield, Chen Lie began to match up for a virtual battle.

He is currently at the peak of the Refining stage, and if he doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to complete the Hundred Consecutive Battles, things will become much more difficult once he reaches the Blood Refining stage.

Once you reach the Blood Refining stage, if the AI ​​of the Sumeru Illusionary Realm matches you with an opponent at the second level of the Blood Qi stage, then an opponent at the Blood Qi Transformation Rainbow realm will be difficult to deal with.

The virtual battleground is matching you with an opponent...

"Your spiritual power and physical constitution have been detected to significantly exceed the five-star standard of the Eastern Region. The AI ​​will conduct a deeper matching process..."

"Match complete. Opponent: Weiguangxing - Gu Tianyuan (Refining Stage/Second-Tier Divine Sense Master)."

"Entering virtual battle space..."

"A glimmering star?"

This is yet another planet located in the central part of the Canglan Starfield.

The scene before Chen Lie's eyes spun around, and he was instantly transported to a virtual battle space.
