"If there's still no news in a couple of days, remember to let me know, and I'll go ask my master again," Luo Zhixun said.
Chen Lie nodded. With Qin Ruoxi interfering, the outcome probably wouldn't be good.
It doesn't matter, though. Soon after he has cultivated the last bit of the Dirty Vajra and begun cultivating the Pure Yang Blood, he will be in dire need of resources.
Pure Yang Treasure Blood resources are probably unavailable on Blue Star. If he doesn't display some extraordinary talent, how could he possibly attract the attention of the Blue Star authorities? It's unrealistic to expect him to go to outer space to obtain resources on his own.
After exchanging a few words with Luo Zhixun, Chen Lie, Wei Ranran, and Luo Zhixun took an airship to the square of the second campus.
At this moment, hundreds of people have already gathered in the second campus square and are walking back and forth.
Luo Zhixun and Chen Lie arrived at the twelve crystal pillars in the second campus.
"Chen Lie, these are the twelve crystal pillars bestowed upon Blue Star by the Ten Star Alliance of the Canglan Star Region. They contain martial arts secrets from beyond the stars to enhance one's strength. Have you begun to comprehend them?" Luo Zhixun asked.
Chen Lie nodded: "I've figured it out!"
"You've only just entered the genius class, so you've probably only had time to comprehend the first crystal pillar. Once you've comprehended all twelve crystal pillars, your strength will at least double," Luo Zhixun said.
Chen Lie nodded and walked around the crystal pillars. He used his divine sense to investigate from a distance and found that, except for the first three crystal pillars, the spiritual power contained in each crystal pillar had been consumed by more than 70%.
If each crystal pillar can be used 20,000 times, it can now only be used about 5000 times.
In particular, the ninth and tenth crystal pillars are almost exhausted in terms of spiritual energy, and their color is showing a tendency to change from dark yellow to light yellow.
These should be the ninth and tenth crystal pillars. The difficulty of comprehending them has increased, so there are more attempts. The spiritual power contained inside the crystal pillars is only a little over 10%, which can still be used for about 2,000 more comprehending attempts.
In contrast, the eleventh and twelfth crystal pillars still contain nearly forty percent of spiritual energy.
Comprehending the two crystal pillars is a gradual process. If you can't get past the ninth or tenth pillar, you naturally can't skip to participate in the later crystal pillars.
After examining the twelve crystal pillars, Chen Lie had just turned to leave when several girls emerged from the meditation area next to the tenth pillar.
"Liusu, look, isn't that your boyfriend?"
One of the girls, with her high ponytail, wispy hair, and sweet features, looked up and immediately spotted a familiar figure from behind: "It really is him!"
The beautiful girl with a high ponytail and fish whiskers was Ruan Liusu, and the person speaking to Ruan Liusu was her good friend Zhao Ziyan.
Zhao Ziyan said, "Aren't you going to go over and say something?"
Ruan Liusu glanced back at the students in the sixth genius class and said, "Then don't wait for me, I'll go take a look."
.
After speaking, Ruan Liusu waved to Zhao Ziyan and the other girls, then walked quickly forward.
As soon as Ruan Liusu left, a girl exclaimed in surprise, "Boyfriend? Ruan Liusu actually has a boyfriend?"
"That's right. Seventeen or eighteen years old is the golden age for martial arts training. It would be a waste to spend this time on dating, wouldn't it? Besides, Ruan Liusu is so talented. She's not even eighteen yet, but she's already in the late stage of the Refining Realm, and her strength has reached an astonishing 7.5 times."
But even with exceptional talent, it shouldn't be wasted like this.
"She must be secretly dating someone behind her family's back. If I were dating at that age, I reckon my parents would break my legs."
Zhao Ziyan glanced at the girls who were making all sorts of speculations and said, "Don't make wild guesses. Ruan Liusu is dating someone, and that's something that both of their elders know about."
"No way? Earth actually has such open-minded parents?"
Chen Lie had just turned around and taken a few steps when he heard a clear and pleasant voice in his ear.
"Chen Lie!"
Chen Lie turned around and saw Ruan Liusu waving as she walked towards him.
"Ruan Liusu? What are you doing here?" Chen Lie asked when he saw Ruan Liusu.
"Isn't today supposed to be a martial arts competition between Class 8? I'm in Class 6, the genius class, and I'm also one of the Class 8," Ruan Liusu said.
Immediately afterwards, she saw Luo Zhixun and Wei Ranran walking towards Chen Lie's side and nodded slightly to them.
Ruan Liusu knew that these two were from the Dongchuan Province Genius Group and were from the same hometown as Chen Lie. She had met them during military training in the Northwest.
"By the way, there's something I want to ask you. Last time, your friend, I think her name was Zhao something-or-other, said that my parents arranged a marriage for me. What's going on?" Chen Lie looked at Ruan Liusu.
"this----"
Ruan Liusu blushed. Although she really wanted to tell the truth and confront Chen Lie directly, she couldn't bring herself to say it when she saw Luo Zhixun and Wei Ranran beside her.
How could she reveal such a private matter in front of outsiders? So she said, "If you really want to know, let's find a quiet place another day, and I'll tell you in private."
"Alright then." Chen Lie nodded.
"Chen Lie, didn't you take the promotion exam a while ago? Which genius class did you join?" Ruan Liusu asked.
"The First Genius Class"
"The first genius class is in the first campus, right? It's the furthest from the thirteenth campus. After you pass the test and become an unofficial student in the super genius class, you'll be wasting your time traveling back and forth between the thirteenth and first campuses," Ruan Liusu said.
Chen Lie asked, "What do you mean by 'round trip'?"
"Once you pass the external student certification, you only need to register your name in the genius class. You'll spend most of your time at the 13th campus, but if there are any necessary activities for the genius class, you'll need to travel back and forth between the 13th and 1st campuses," Ruan Liusu said.
Chen Lie said, "That's not a problem."
"By the way, Chen Lie, I'm already cultivating the fifth organ in the Refining Stage. I'll soon reach the completion of the Refining Stage and become an unofficial student in the Super Genius Class."
"I haven't asked you yet, what's going on with you? Logically speaking, although the three provinces of Sichuan are somewhat impoverished, you won the martial arts championship in the three provinces, which makes you a regional genius. Why didn't you directly join the super genius class, but instead had to climb up the ranks step by step from the key class?" Ruan Liusu asked.
Luo Zhixun, who was standing to the side, asked curiously, "You don't know?"
Ruan Liusu was taken aback: "Know what?"
Upon seeing this, Luo Zhixun immediately realized that Ruan Liusu really didn't know anything, so she told Ruan Liusu the whole story.
This girl from Jiangsu Province even helped Dongchuan Province with their tasks during military training. Luo Zhixun also had a good impression of Qi, and it seemed that she had a good relationship with Chen Lie as well, so Luo Zhixun didn't hold back her words towards Qi.
After hearing everything, Ruan Liusu's eyes immediately blazed with anger.
"What Blue Star Qi and Blood Ranking Top Ten? Such a narrow-minded person, just because he is older, actually used his connections to get Blue Star University to stand in his way in a conflict over martial arts."
This is absolutely outrageous!
"Chen Lie, is that Huo Jinghong? He used his connections with the Blue Star Martial Arts Association to secretly suppress you. We can't just let him bully us like this."
"Come with me to a place today, and I have a way to help you get revenge!" Ruan Liusu said.
Luo Zhixun's eyelids twitched. Why was Ruan Liusu reacting so strongly? It was as if she herself was the one being suppressed.
She and Chen Lie had known each other since they were both unknown. As a friend, she felt sorry for Chen Lie and wanted to help him as much as possible after witnessing him being treated unfairly.
How could Ruan Liusu be so empathetic, and even claim she would help Chen Lie vent his anger?
A genius who ranks in the top ten of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Ranking is highly valued by the authorities. Even if he makes a mistake, the authorities can only offer stern advice and would not punish him.
"Help me vent my anger? You're being too righteous!"
Chen Lie glanced at Ruan Liusu and said.
"I'm not joking," Ruan Liusu said solemnly.
Chen Lie inexplicably ended up in an honors class. She initially thought it was because of his extraordinary mental talent, which was arranged by the higher-ups at Blue Star University. Little did she know that he was actually being secretly suppressed.
She had considered Chen Lie as one of her own since they met in Dongchuan Province.
At her home, apart from herself and her grandfather, everyone else still believed that her relationship with Chen Lie was already settled.
Ruan Liusu has always been clear about who is friend and foe. If she simply suffers a setback in martial arts, she can get revenge later. But she absolutely cannot tolerate being bullied by external forces that suppress those she considers her own people.
"Okay, thank you for your kindness, but I won't trouble you any further."
97
After all, Southern Jiangsu Province is just a local province and cannot interfere with the decisions of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters.
Chen Lie could only say that he appreciated Ruan Liusu's kindness.
Seeing Chen Lie's attitude, Ruan Liusu said no more, but secretly made a decision in her heart.
At this moment, hundreds of students in the second campus square all walked towards the inner square.
Luo Zhixun said from the side, "Chen Lie, it's time. Shall we go to the students in the top genius class?"
"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded, looked at Ruan Liusu, and asked, "Are you going back to your sixth genius class?"
Ruan Liusu shook her head and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
Upon hearing Ruan Liusu's answer, Chen Lie did not ask any further questions.
After walking to the inner square where the crowd had gathered, Chen Lie asked Luo Zhixun, "What are the specific events of today's Class 8 martial arts competition?"
"It's very simple. Each of the eight genius classes has to go to the fighting stage at least twice to exchange martial arts skills with others."
Furthermore, you can challenge others, and others can challenge you, unless the difference in martial arts level between the challenger and the challenger is too great, you cannot refuse.
"Anyway, all I need to do is spar with someone on the battle stage a couple of times; the instructor or assistant will arrange it all," Luo Zhixun said.
"That simple?"
"It's quite simple. Blue Star University aims to cultivate martial arts geniuses with outstanding combat awareness, so practical combat is essential."
Only through long-term practical combat can muscle memory be developed in battle.
As they talked, Chen Lie and Luo Zhixun arrived at the gathering point of the first genius class students.
As soon as he arrived, Chen Lie saw that the eighty or ninety students from the first genius class were divided into four camps. Three of the camps had about the same number of people, all around twenty. These people stood tall and proud, exuding an imposing aura.
The fourth group, however, was sparsely populated, scattered in small groups.
"Our first genius class has people from four provinces: Hunan and Guangxi, Beijing and South China, and the last one is from our Dongchuan province."
Because our Dongchuan province is the weakest overall, it is often marginalized by the other three provinces.
Those three teams were from Hunan and Guangxi, Beijing and Jiangsu, and Nanjiang. The leaders were Zou Mingjun from Hunan and Guangxi, Jiang Shuining from Beijing and Jiangsu, and Yun Panpan from Nanjiang.
"These three are all extra students in the super-genius class. They don't usually return to the genius class in the first campus. Today might be a special case," Luo Zhixun explained.
As soon as Chen Lie appeared, the students from Dongchuan Province, who had been scattered around, gathered around him.
"Captain Chen, hello!"
Several students from Dongchuan Province came up to Chen Lie and greeted him.
Chen Lie nodded slightly in agreement.
Among the people of Gyeonggi Province.
Upon seeing Chen Lie appear, Jiang Rou immediately pointed behind her and said to her older sister Jiang Shuining, who was sitting in front of her, "Sister, that's the person. He slapped me twice in public in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm last time, and he also injured Li Yang and Wei Zhen yesterday."
Jiang Shui Ning looked ahead in the direction Jiang Rou was pointing, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Chen Lie for a moment.
"Is that the freshman you mentioned who just entered the gifted class the day before yesterday?"
"That's him!"
Jiang Shuining's eyebrows shot up as she asked Jiang Rou, "Do you know his background? What's his name?"
"Isn't his name Chen Lie? He's the top martial arts champion in Dongchuan Province. I heard from Wei Ranran that he's also some kind of martial arts champion in Sichuan Province."
"But in a remote place like Sichuan, even if someone is the best in several provinces, their martial arts skills are probably just average, maybe even at the late stage of the Refining Realm. They wouldn't be able to injure Li Yang and Wei Zhen with a single kick," Jiang Rou said nonchalantly.
"The best in Sichuan? That's a regional genius. According to Blue Star University's support for remote provinces and regions, he could directly join the super genius class. How could he have been promoted from the key class?"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Jiang Shuining asked.
"I don't know either, it was Wei Ranran from Dongchuan Province who told me!"
"I see!"
Jiang Shuining recognized Chen Lie the moment she saw his face.
It was the person who ended her 97th consecutive victory in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
She was already at the peak of the Refining Stage and had one foot in the Blood Refining Stage, but she couldn't defeat Chen Lie even after hundreds of moves, which shows how extraordinary he was in martial arts.
She was originally a dual-system student who cultivated both martial arts and spiritual power, with a consciousness sea score of over 70, and even created a world-level consciousness god.
He intended to use mental power to defeat his enemy in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, he was defeated inexplicably.
However, her consciousness was severely damaged at that time, and she felt listless for several days after waking up in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
Only then did I belatedly realize that I had been defeated in the area of mental strength that I was most proud of.
With a consciousness sea score of 70 and a three-eyed spirit fox at the Earth-level consciousness level, Jiang Shui Ning was still unable to make a clear guess. This made her realize the extent of her opponent's attainments in the path of a divine sense master.
