Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 344 Star Elm and Poria, the Spleen of Earth!

The vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, even if it's just a nominal position, is definitely a Divine Sense Grandmaster. How could his assertion be wrong? Ruan Liusu then asked, "But they all say that your consciousness doesn't have the special abilities unique to Heavenly-level consciousness? What's going on?" "The ability of my consciousness is to amplify mental power attacks."

Ruan Liusu nodded and said "uh". Isn't it said that Heavenly-level consciousness gods generally possess this ability?

However, even if a Heavenly-level Consciousness God lacks abilities, it is still far superior to an Earthly-level Consciousness God, so Ruan Liusu did not ask any further questions.

The two left the Divine Sense Master Association together and boarded the airship.

The airship took off and sped towards Blue Star University.

On the airship, Chen Lie looked at Ruan Liusu and asked, "What exactly happened with that friend of yours who said my parents were arranging a marriage for me?"

When Chen Lie asked, Ruan Liusu no longer avoided the question and frankly said: "Actually... your grandfather worked in our southern Jiangsu province and knew my grandfather for decades. They must have had a very good relationship. Then, for some reason, they thought of arranging a marriage between the younger generation. But at that time, my father and my uncle's generation had already started their own families, so they planned to find a suitable person from the next generation."

Then more than a decade passed, during which my grandfather also mentioned similar things, but nothing ever came of it.

Then, a little over two months ago, your grandfather came to see my grandfather in person and said that he had a grandson who was quite accomplished in martial arts and was the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province…”

Chen Lie suddenly interrupted Ruan Liusu: "Wait, you mean, my grandfather wants to arrange a marriage for me?"

Ruan Liusu nodded somewhat shyly: "That's what your grandfather said back then..."

My family also advised me to... to let us get to know each other more, so on the day of the martial arts competition among the three provinces of Sichuan, I made a trip to Yunnan Province just to see what you are like.”

"How is this possible? Why have I never heard of this before?"

Chen Lie knew that his grandfather, Chen Shijian, was very biased towards his second uncle's family, and by extension, he was also extremely biased towards Chen Ye.

Chen Ye's martial arts talent was not much stronger than Chen Lie's, but thanks to the martial arts resources his grandfather had brought him from Jiangsu Province, his blood and qi value was much higher than Chen Lie's.

Given Ruan Liusu's status—her maternal grandfather was a ninth-level Grandmaster and the vice president of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, and her father was certainly no ordinary person either; several hundred years ago, he would have been comparable to a member of the imperial family.

Besides, Ruan Liusu must be from a powerful and influential family in southern Jiangsu Province. In his previous life, Chen Lie wouldn't even have been qualified to stand with Ruan Liusu, and Lu Qingchan wouldn't have even looked down on him.

It was even more impossible for Ruan Liusu, who was many levels above Lu Qingchan, to marry a powerful woman from such a martial arts province. How could Grandpa Chen Shijian possibly have thought of such a good thing as marrying her?

When Chen Lie asked her about this, Ruan Liusu became furious: "Don't you have a cousin?"

"There is one, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, but that day when I was with my grandfather in Dongchuan Province, he actually dared to impersonate you."

With his weak martial arts and scattered qi and blood, he actually dared to pretend to be the martial arts champion in front of me. I sent him flying more than ten meters away with one palm.

Later, your grandfather called you over.

"That day?"

Ruan Liusu nodded and said, "Your cousin really went too far. He actually impersonated you on Green Bubble and played me for a fool. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I asked Sister Yun for help. She found a student from Dongchuan Province at Blue Star University and had him taught him a lesson!"

"Oh, no wonder. So the reason Chen Ye was hospitalized last time was because of you."

"Didn't you say you didn't get along with your cousin?" Ruan Liusu asked Chen Lie.

"It's not very good. I even thought the people you hired didn't go easy on me," Chen Lie said.

"Well... that's how it is."

Chen Lie nodded and fell silent.

He scrutinized Ruan Liusu for a while, noting her fair skin, delicate nose, cherry lips, dark and lively eyes, and arched eyebrows. In terms of appearance, Ruan Liusu was practically flawless. Young in age but exceptionally talented, she might very well become one of the top geniuses on Blue Star if she entered Starry Sky University. Judging from Ruan Liusu's attitude towards him, Chen Lie wasn't sure how much she liked him, but she certainly had feelings for him.

If he had been favored by such a heavenly beauty in his previous life, Chen Lie would probably have laughed in his dreams.

However, Chen Lie had only been reborn for a little over half a year, and his martial arts were still in their initial stages. If he started talking about relationships too early, it would probably delay his training. Chen Lie quite admired Ruan Liusu; she had helped him repeatedly and even sought help from his maternal grandfather, the vice president of the Martial Arts Association, on his behalf. After a moment of contemplation, Chen Lie said, "My grandfather certainly wouldn't be so kind as to find me a marriage partner; he's always favored my second uncle's family."

However, we two seem to have a connection. How about we try getting to know each other first, without interfering with our martial arts training?

Ruan Liusu nodded repeatedly. If things were to go so quickly, she felt it would be a bit sudden. So she said, "My parents think the same way. We'll talk about everything after we finish Starry Sky University."

"At the age when one should be practicing martial arts, one should dedicate oneself wholeheartedly to it."

"Okay, it's settled then."

Ruan Liusu nodded with a smile.

She wondered to herself, what kind of relationship did she have with Chen Lie? Were they just blind dates? Or something closer?

But her family members all believe that she and Chen Lie have already established a relationship, and they even asked her to invite Chen Lie to Jiangsu Province during her vacation. What should she do then?

Ruan Liusu was troubled by this.

The airship was very fast, and Chen Lie returned to Blue Star University in just over ten minutes.

After disembarking from the airship, Chen Lie said goodbye to Ruan Liusu. It was already late, so Chen Lie went straight back to his dormitory.

After cultivating his mental strength all night, Chen Lie left his dormitory early the next morning, found a cultivation room, and began the initial cultivation of the Earth element spleen to nourish and warm the spleen.

After practicing all morning, Chen Lie went to a restaurant for lunch at noon.

Chen Lie ordered a meal and ate at the restaurant. While eating, he received a private message from a green bubble.

Xue Caini: "Junior Brother Chen Lie, the second-tier earth-attribute martial arts treasure you asked me to inquire about yesterday, I have found it. Blue Star University currently has one."

The price is 9500 credits. If you want it, you can come to the Resource Category Building now.

Chen Lie immediately replied, "I don't have that many credits right now. Can you wait a day while I earn them?"

I, Xue Caini, said: "This kind of high-level and rare resource may not be available after today."

If it's inconvenient for you right now, I can cover your credits.

Don't let missed cultivation resources hinder your progress in martial arts.

Chen Lie: "Okay, I'm coming right away!"

Xue Caini: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the resource category building."

After replying, Chen Lie put down the communicator, quickly finished his meal, and then went to the resource category building.

It took Chen Lie more than ten minutes to arrive at the resource category building.

Chen Lie entered the resource category building and immediately saw Xue Caini waving at him from there.

"Junior Chen Lie, over here!"

Chen Lie saw Xue Caini waving at him and immediately went over.

Beside Xue Caini was a gentle and intellectual woman who looked to be about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.

Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, the woman paused for a moment and said to Xue Caini beside her, "Caini, so the person you were waiting for is this junior Chen." "Oh? You know junior Chen Lie?" Xue Caini asked curiously.

"Of course I know him, how could I not?"

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother Chen Lie, I joined the Genius Class on the day I was assisting with the general affairs office. How could I not recognize you?"

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Lie and said, "Junior Chen? It's only been a few days, you haven't forgotten me, have you?"

Chen Lie said directly, "Of course not, Senior Pei Ning."

Xue Caini said, "You two actually know each other!"

Pei Ning smiled and said, "Of course, among the dozens of freshmen, Junior Chen is the only one with maxed-out talent and comprehension. It would be hard for me not to remember him."

Chen Lie said, "Senior Xue, didn't you say there was a second-tier earth-attribute martial arts treasure here?"

"Of course, here!"

Xue Caini led Chen Lie to the front of the cabinet, and Pei Ning took out a martial arts treasure that emitted a yellow light from behind the cabinet and placed it on the table.

"This is a second-tier earth-attribute martial arts treasure called Star Elm Poria."

"Star elm and Poria cocos?"

Chen Lie subtly scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately understood that this second-tier martial arts treasure was an excellent resource for cultivating the spleen. "How is it? Junior Brother Chen Lie, does this earth-attribute martial arts treasure help your martial arts?" Xue Caini asked.

"Yes, that's exactly what I need." Chen Lie nodded.

"That's good. Since you're not available today, I'll cover your credits."

As she spoke, Xue Caini took out a blue credit card and paid 9500 points.

Before long, the staff packed up the star elm and poria cocos and handed it to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie looked at Xue Caini and said, "Thank you, Senior Xue. Don't worry, I will definitely return these credits within two days." Xue Caini shook her head: "No need, Junior. I no longer need the credits from Blue Star University, so you don't need to return them."

Consider this second-tier martial arts treasure a gift from me.

"You don't need it anymore? Why?" Chen Lie asked.

Pei Ning, who was standing next to her, interjected, "Because she will soon be leaving Blue Star University."

We've applied to the Interstellar Alliance and passed the initial screening. If we pass the final screening, we'll head to outer space and join the military. Therefore, our credits from Blue Star University will naturally be useless.

"Oh? Joining the Interstellar Alliance? Is it the Azure Blue Army from the Azure Blue Star Region?"

Pei Ning was somewhat surprised: "Junior brother is amazing, you even know about the Canglan Army."

However, the Canglan Army is the strongest interstellar army in the Canglan Starfield. We are not yet qualified to join the Canglan Army, so we can only join the Interstellar Alliance first. If we can make more contributions in the Interstellar Alliance, we will have the opportunity to be promoted to the Canglan Army.

"Are all fourth-year students at Blue Star University required to join the Interstellar Alliance?" Chen Lie asked.

"That's not the case. Half of the fourth-year students at Blue Star University participate in the Interstellar Alliance every year, but it mainly depends on individual choice," Chen Lie said. "I understand. Since Blue Star University credits are useless to you, surely Galaxy Coins will be useful, right?"

If we ever meet again in another planetary setting, I'll return the Galactic Coins to you directly.

"Okay!" Xue Caini smiled slightly, "Then I'll wait for good news."

Chen Lie responded and was about to leave when Xue Caini called him back again.

"Junior Chen Lie, your recommendation letter has been approved by your advisor."

You can take it with you to the Super Genius Class at the Thirteenth Campus.

It is said that geniuses from other planets of the Eastern Five Stars will come to Blue Star to exchange martial arts techniques in the next two days.

You've become an unofficial student in the Super Genius Class, and you'll also have the opportunity to encounter these alien martial arts on the thirteenth campus. Don't miss this opportunity! If you're unsure about the registration process, feel free to contact me or another teaching assistant, Song Zihang.

As an unofficial student in the super-genius class, you're not a regular student, so you're officially registered in our top-tier genius class.

As Xue Caini spoke, she handed the letter of recommendation to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie accepted the letter of recommendation, thanked him, and then left.

Seeing Chen Lie leave, Pei Ning sighed: "Max-level talent, and he's about to join the Super Genius Class so soon. He's definitely got the makings of Starry Sky University."

They are far superior to you and me. If we want to reach interstellar space, we can only join the Interstellar Alliance.

If I could graduate from Starry Sky University, I'd have everything.

"We've been to Starry Sky University before, we were just eliminated from it."

Graduating from Starry Sky University is no easy feat. No matter how outstanding a genius is on Earth, their brilliance will be instantly buried in Starry Sky University.

"I still remember my first day at Starry Sky University. I felt like someone from the worst province on Earth had suddenly arrived in Blue Capital," Xue Caini sighed.

Pei Ning remained silent for a long time.

On the other side, Chen Lie returned to the cultivation room and eagerly unpacked the Star Elm Poria.

This second-tier earth-attribute martial arts treasure was the key to his cultivation of the Earth Spleen.

He sat cross-legged and began to cultivate, starting to practice the purification method of the "Dragon Nirvana Technique".

With the blessing of the cultivation method, Chen Lie's blood and qi circulated rapidly.

After several days of initial training, Chen Lie's spleen strength had far exceeded that of ordinary people, making him capable of directly cultivating the Earth element spleen.

His blood and qi surged out of his body, and the powerful blood and qi transformed into the shape of a dragon, which swallowed the star elm and poria cocos in one gulp.

The qi and blood, mixed with the medicinal power, returned to Chen Lie's body, and instantly Chen Lie felt a powerful force dissipate within him.

He began to guide the power brought by the star elm and poria cocos using the method of refining the internal organs, and began to cultivate his spleen.

Pure energy continuously flowed into Chen Lie's spleen, and gradually, his spleen began to emit a yellow light.

The spleen, the last of the five internal organs, quickly takes shape.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lie's blood and qi circulation gradually stopped.

He scanned his body with his divine sense and found that his internal organs were flashing with various colors of light.

The various colored lights are the golden light of the Vajra Lung, the green light of the Yi Wood Liver, the blue and black light of the Ren Water Kidney, the red light of the Bing Fire Heart, and the yellow light of the Wu Earth Spleen.

"The spleen of Earth element is complete, marking the first stage of the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm. The Vajra Refining technique is now finished. Next, we will move on to the final stage of the first stage of the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm: the cultivation of Pure Yang Precious Blood."
