Grandmaster Seed Assessment

The leaders of the delegations from the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong all arranged for their respective province's geniuses to board the airship.

Outside the airship, Shen Miaowei saw Chen Lie queuing in the East River Provincial Genius Group team, so she walked over.

"Chen Lie, are you alright yesterday? Did you encounter any danger?"

Chen Lie glanced at Shen Miaowei and asked, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Wasn't Wu Tianchen assassinated?

"This shows that even after two years of official crackdowns, the Dark Moon Organization still poses a great danger. You should be careful and pay attention to your safety," Shen Miaowei said.

Chen Lie nodded and said, "I know."

"Okay, I'll head back now."

In your opinion—anyway, it's best to be careful.

Shen Miaowei hesitated for a moment, then, after reminding Chen Lie, she returned to the Yunchuan Provincial Genius Group Team.

At this moment, Tang Jiu'er, who was next to Chen Lie, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chen Lie, what is your relationship with Shen Miaowei from Cloud River Province?"

Surely he can't be interested in you, right?

"Just friends."

Tang Jiu'er said, "I knew it! How could the heir of the Cloud River Province family, who has reached the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, be someone obsessed with romance?"

Even if someone really wants to choose a partner, they'll look up to them. Why would they be interested in you? Right?

Chen Lie turned his head away, ignoring Tang Jiu'er.

He wasn't particularly fond of this overly friendly Tang Jiu'er.

A short while later, Chen Lie followed the East River Province team into the Super Airship and found a seat to sit down.

Once everyone had boarded, Du Jinlong of the Provincial Martial Artist Association began taking attendance. After confirming that no one was left out, the airship took off and headed towards Cloud River Province.

Shortly after the Super Airship took off, Du Jinlong arrived at the seating area for the members of the East River Provincial Genius Group.

"Which one of you is Chen Lie?"

Du Jinlong glanced at the many members of the Genius Group from East River Province.

"I!"

Chen Lie stood up and walked towards Du Jinlong.

Du Jinlong glanced at Chen Lie, then took out a box wrapped in a bag and handed it to Chen Lie.

"This is from Lu Kun President Lu of the Guannei Province Divine Sense Master Association, who entrusted me to give it to you."

There are two Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine in total: one to improve the purity of qi and blood, and the other to improve the strength of qi and blood.

Meanwhile, President Lu asked me to pass on a message to you.

He said you've done him a great favor, and the two Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine are rightfully yours. As for the rest, he's already sent people to urgently contact the Global Divine Sense Master Association to search for them."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Lie nodded.

After Du Jinlong finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly did you do to help President Lu? President Lu actually rewarded you with two Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine."

"A reward? It's more like a transaction."

"Nonsense! President Lu is a high-level Divine Sense Master, Grandmaster- level Martial Artist, and a very important figure in Guannei Province. Why would he trade with a junior like you?"

"Besides, what do you have that's worth trading with President Lu?" Du Jinlong reprimanded.

Chen Lie didn't argue with Du Jinlong. After obtaining the Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine, he returned to his original seat.

He understood why Lu Kun had given him an extra Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine.

The reason he didn't care was simply because Lu Kun wanted to befriend the Blue Star Ninth Consciousness Sea World.

After all, Divine Sense Master are rare on Blue Star. The ninth- Sea of Consciousness Score on Blue Star Ninth is considered by most people to be a divine sense genius, one in ten million.

Seeing that Chen Lie didn't answer and had returned to his seat, Du Jinlong simply turned and left as well.

Back in his seat, Chen Lie glanced at the two Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine in the bag box, and also looked at the descriptions of the Spirit Medicine.

One is Thousand-Year Blood Spirit Grass, and the other is Thousand-Year Golden Ganoderma.

The combined value of these two Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine is nearly one billion Star Dollar.

Chen Lie took out a Golden Card Album from his pocket. He had obtained it from Ji Lingxuan, who said that it could be used to exchange for a martial arts resource worth less than one billion Star Dollar.

Just then, Chen Lie's strength had reached its limit, and he was about to begin tempering his body. However, he hadn't yet found the resources to develop "Tough Skin Resilient Flesh," so this Gold Booklet came at the perfect time.

The Super Airship traveled at top speed for about an hour before landing at the Yunchuan Province Martial Artist Association.

More than sixty members of the Three Rivers Genius Group disembarked from the airship.

Before leaving, Zhang Weifeng, the deacon leading the Yunchuan Province delegation, said to Du Jinlong, "Deacon Du, why don't you give the members of our Yunchuan Provincial Genius Group a pep talk, just like you did when you left? Tell them to learn from the martial arts geniuses of the Guannei Province, so they won't become arrogant and complacent because they've never seen the outside world in this small place like Cloud River Province."

Du Jinlong was obviously aware of the sparring Guannei Province Martial Leader Yunchuan Province Martial Leader, so he was naturally not as arrogant as he had been when he arrived.

He said, "Old Zhang, is it really meaningful for you to be so sarcastic towards me?"

I admit that Cloud River Province has produced an extraordinary martial arts genius, but apart from the Martial Leader who is worth mentioning, the rest of the members are all lacking in talent.

"Can our overall strength compare to that of our Guannei Province?"

"We may not be able to match your overall strength, but we can match your top geniuses. After all, your Guannei Province is the top among the Chuanshan Eight Provinces. If your overall strength is surpassed by our Cloud River Province, then all the leaders above the middle level of your Martial Artist Association should quit their jobs."

"That's enough for you. The Three Provinces of Chuanzhong have been suppressed by the Shanling Five Provinces for decades, and only now have they produced one outstanding martial arts genius. Are you afraid that you'll get too cocky?"

If you push me too far, I'll apply to President Dong of Guannei Province and ask him to request the Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters to transfer Ji Lingxuan to our Guannei Province for training.

"Your Cloud River Province is a poor province; surely your martial arts resources can't compare to those of our Guannei Province? If President Dong really makes this request, the Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters will most likely agree," Du Jinlong said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Weifeng immediately said, "I say, Steward Du Jinlong, your Guannei Province can't be this shameless, can it?"

Du Jinlong chuckled coldly and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Weifeng quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You absolutely mustn't poach our Cloud River Province's once-in-decades martial arts genius."

Seeing Zhang Weifeng's boastful submission, the leaders of the delegations from West River Province and East River Province were green with envy, secretly regretting that their provinces had not produced such an amazing martial arts genius.

After the deacon of the Provincial Genius Group saw off Du Jinlong and the group of people from Guannei Province, he returned to the Yunchuan Province Martial Artist Association.

"Old Zhang, look at how smug you are! The Martial Leader of your province, this has really boosted your prestige. You truly live up to your name."

"This was said by Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the East River Provincial Genius Group."

Zhang Weifeng glanced at Jiang Xiaodong and said, "Old Jiang, stop pretending with me. The Martial Leader of your East River Province isn't someone to be trifled with, is he?"

"You mean Wang Dongting?" Jiang Xiaodong asked.

"Otherwise what? Does your East River Province have a second Martial Leader?"

Ji Lingxuan herself said that Wang Dongting, the Martial Leader of East River Province, was a formidable opponent who could rival her. How could Wang Dongting, the East River Martial Champion, be a simple person?

Zhang Weifeng's words made Jiang Xiaodong fall into deep thought. Could it be that Wang Dongting had been hiding his strength all along, and this time it had been discovered by the people of Cloud River Province?

But what is Wang Dongting after?

The deacons from both the East River Province and West River Province provinces urged the members of their Provincial Genius Group to return.

One member of the Genius Group remarked, "Let's go, the next time we meet will probably be at the Three-Province Martial Tournament in Chuanzhong."

"The Three-Province Martial Tournament Three-Province Martial Tournament? What kind of martial arts tournament is that? Everyone knows that this year's Three Rivers Martial Top Scholar has already been reserved by Ji Lingxuan, the Number One Genius of the Three Rivers!"

Even Yang Tianlai from the Guannei Province is no match for her; we'd be no match for her. We'd be easy prey if we went up there.

"No, who bestowed the title of ' Number One Genius of the Three Rivers' upon Ji Lingxuan? Did the rest of us from Dongxi and Liangchuan agree to it?"

"Do I need your approval? It's common knowledge that martial arts in Yunchuan Province are stronger than those in Dongchuan and Xichuan, so the number one genius in Cloud River Province is naturally also the Number One Genius of the Three Rivers."

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the members of the Provincial Genius Group from East River Province and West River Province provinces boarded the airships back to their respective provinces.

Just before Chen Lie boarded the airship, a clear, cold voice called out to him.

"Chen Lie!"

Upon hearing this clear, cold voice, Chen Lie turned around and saw Ji Lingxuan walking gracefully towards him.

"Is there something you need?"

When Ji Lingxuan walked up to him, Chen Lie asked.

Ji Lingxuan said softly, "I learned from Shen Miaowei that you are a very powerful Divine Sense Master?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "That's right."

"The method of circulating qi and blood that you gave me is more useful to me than I imagined."

You said I have more than one shortcoming in martial arts, is that true?

"Certainly."

After listening to Chen Lie's words, Ji Lingxuan nodded slightly and said, "Cultivators with high attainments in Mental Power indeed have their unique strengths."

If I have the opportunity, I would like to have another martial arts exchange with Chen. What do you think, Chen?

Chen Lie said, "We'll see."

Ji Lingxuan frowned. She wasn't stupid; she could hear the perfunctory tone in Chen Lie's voice and understood that Chen Lie was indirectly rejecting her.

However, if she could exchange martial arts ideas with Chen Lie again, it would naturally be of great benefit to her.

As Divine Sense Master, Chen Lie could help him verify and correct his martial arts techniques. However, he hadn't been able to offer any help during the last martial arts exchange, and exchanging martial arts techniques was a waste of time for Chen Lie. Therefore, his refusal seemed understandable.

Thinking of this, Ji Lingxuan gently raised her head and looked directly at Chen Liedao, "Chen, your reluctance to use martial arts last time does not mean that I cannot help you."

I have some insights into martial arts, and while I can't guarantee anything else, I'm confident I can help you avoid some pitfalls on your martial arts journey.

"I may have taken some detours in my martial arts journey, but in your eyes, it was a shortcut," Chen Lie said.

Upon hearing this, Ji Lingxuan wanted to say something, but then she heard the deacon from East River Province urging her on the airship.

"Chen Lie, Ji, if you have anything to say, you can add Green Bubble as a friend and say it on Green Bubble."

The family is waiting for you, so please hurry.

Chen Lie said, "Deacon Jiang Xiaodong is urging me, so I'll be leaving now."

Hearing Jiang Xiaodong's urging, Ji Lingxuan was about to take out her Communicator to add Chen Lie's Green Bubble as a friend, but Chen Lie had already boarded the airship. So she had to put the Communicator back and wave goodbye to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie boarded the airship and sat down, the cabin door closed, and the airship took off towards East River Province.

"Eh? Chen Lie, was that Ji Lingxuan Martial Leader Cloud River Province Ji Lingxuan, looking for you just now?"

Shortly after the airship took off, Tang Jiu'er, who was sitting behind Chen Lie, patted Chen Lie's seat and asked a question.

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

"You're quite something, aren't you? When did you become acquainted with Ji Lingxuan?" Tang Jiu'er asked.

Luo Zhixun, standing next to Tang Jiu'er, also looked puzzled.

"Oh, on the first day of the gathering, when we drew lots for the martial arts exchange, I was matched with Ji Lingxuan in the first round," Chen Lie said.

"Wow, you got matched with Ji Lingxuan? That's incredibly lucky!"

"Have you had Ji Lingxuan instruct you in martial arts? You know, he's a martial arts genius who can even suppress Yang Tianlai, the top Martial Leader of the eight Chuanshan Eight Provinces." Tang Jiu'er asked in surprise.

"No." Chen Lie shook his head.

"That's true. It's Provincial Genius Exchange Meeting, and the time is so tight, I can't possibly give you all the expert advice I need." Tang Jiu'er then asked, "But what did Ji Lingxuan want from you just now?"

She also wanted to discuss martial arts with me, but I declined.

Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Tang Jiu'er chuckled and then burst out laughing.

"No, you're saying Ji Lingxuan took the initiative to ask you to exchange martial arts techniques? What does she want from you? Your low Blood Qi Value? Your obscurity, your status as an unknown nobody?"

Why are you putting on airs?

Although Luo Zhixun also felt that Chen Lie's words were somewhat unrealistic, she still gently tugged at Tang Jiu'er's clothes, reminding her that her words were too sarcastic.

When the airship arrived at the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association, it was already 11:00 AM.

The twenty members of the East River Provincial Genius Group disembarked from the airship one by one.

We arrived at the East River Province Martial Arts Training Ground.

Gu Tian, the mentor of the Genius Group, appeared at the Martial Dao Training Ground immediately.

"Welcome back, everyone."

Several members greeted Gu Tian, saying, "Hello Old Master Tian."

"Yes, I've heard about what happened to you all from Deacon Jiang."

Five students from Blue Star University were assassinated by the Dark Moon Organization on such Zheng Zhong occasion.

This shows that even after the two-year-long large-scale crackdown organized by the Blue Star authorities, Dark Moon still possesses considerable power and is able to infiltrate such situations.

Therefore, I would like to advise you all to stay home as much as possible for your own safety.

"At this Genius Gathering, I believe many members will realize how insignificant they are compared to the Chuanshan Eight Provinces."

Therefore, you must strive to catch up and surpass yourselves in martial arts, for there is no limit to the pursuit of mastery.

I won't say much more. You've all walked a long way and must be tired. It's lunchtime now.

Here, I have something to announce.

Three days later, the Genius Group will conduct Grandmaster Seed Assessment. If your Blood Qi Value exceeds 1800 calories and your Strength Value exceeds 4...

Anyone who passes the assessment can become Grandmaster Seed Member and enjoy more resources.

Alright, everyone, you can all leave now.

After Gu Tian finished speaking, the twenty members of the Genius Group dispersed and left the training ground.
