Grandmaster Seed Members

Wang Wei, the person in charge of the hall, said to Chen Lie again, "Please come with me."

Chen Lie nodded and followed Wang Wei into an office behind the association's reception window.

Once inside the office, Wang Wei recounted the matter to the vice president of the Martial Artist Association, who was in charge of daily affairs.

The vice president of the Martial Artist Association was named Gao Wenmao. After hearing the reason for the matter, Gao Wenmao looked at Chen Lie and asked, "Chen Lie, you want to exchange this booklet for resources, right?"

"Yes." Chen Lie nodded.

"Exchanging resources is definitely not a problem, but the holder of your Gold Booklet is Ji Lingxuan, the martial arts champion of the Yunchuan Provincial Genius Group."

To avoid the possibility that this Gold Booklet was lost by Ji Lingxuan and just happened to end up in your hands, we need to confirm with the holder of the Gold Booklet, that is, Ji Lingxuan herself.

"Okay, sure."

"Please wait a moment."

Gao Wenmao instructed a staff member to check the gold card holder's contact information through the Gold Booklet and to inquire about C.

Within moments, the staff member contacted Ji Lingxuan and completed the confirmation.

"President Gao, Ji Lingxuan, the holder of the Gold Booklet, said that this Gold Booklet was a gift to Chen Lie."

"Oh?"

Gao Wenmao, the vice president of the Martial Artist Association, couldn't help but sized up Chen Lie: "Chen Lie, you actually have connections with the number one genius in Chuanzhong? And the other party even gave you such an expensive gift?"

"We weren't really acquainted; we met by chance at the provincial gathering the day before yesterday."

After explaining, Chen Lie asked, "So, can I exchange this for resources now?"

"Of course, what resources do you need?" Gao Wenmao asked.

"A Second-Order Martial Dao Rare Treasure used for body tempering, called Star Sand."

"Star Sand?"

Gao Wenmao thought for a moment and said, "These rare Martial Dao Rare Treasure from Outer Stars are extremely rare on Blue Star. Only the top three provinces on Blue Star may possess them."

Are you sure you want the Star Sand?

"Confirmed," Chen Lie said.

"As far as I know, Star Sand is a rare Martial Dao Rare Treasure that can only be used by those who have reached a very deep level of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm. Are you sure you can use it?"

"Certainly."

"Alright then, I'll report the Star Sand. If the Blue Star Martial Artist Association possesses this Second-Order Martial Dao Rare Treasure, we'll have a result within three days."

Otherwise, you can continue waiting, or you can make changes here.

"I see."

Upon hearing Chen Lie's reply, Gao Wenmao immediately initiated an application Martial Artist Association's Optical Computer.

A short while later, Gao Wenmao completed the process and said to Chen Lie, "Alright, if there's no result within seven days, our staff will contact you to discuss whether to change the resource exchange. If everything goes well, the Star Sand should be delivered to you on time within seven days."

"Good."

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he left the Martial Artist Association building and went to the Genius Training Ground, which was not far from the Martial Artist Association.

Inside the training grounds, all the Genius Group had arrived.

Chen Lie entered the training ground and saw several deacons from the Martial Artist Association.

Just as he was walking inside, he suddenly heard a clear voice calling out to him.

"Chen Lie!"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Lie immediately stopped and looked towards its source.

On one side of the training ground, Lu Qingchan was walking towards him with a smile.

"Chen Lie, congratulations on making it into the Provincial Youth Genius Group." Lu Qingchan approached Chen Lie and said with a charming smile.

"It's nothing, nothing to congratulate me on," Chen Liedao.

"Joining the Provincial Youth Genius Group is a small matter, huh?"

Making it into the Provincial Youth Genius Group is something to celebrate, even within the Lu Family.

"However, why has your martial arts progressed so rapidly lately?"

"Perhaps Enlightenment," Chen Lie said. "What are you doing here?"

"Enlightenment-- "

After muttering something, Lu Qingchan continued, "My mother brought me here. She said the Genius Group is conducting Grandmaster Seed Assessment today, and she brought me to see it."

Chen Liedao, "Then why are you the only one?"

My mom is talking to my uncle.

"Then you wait here for Aunt Xu, I need to go for the evaluation," Chen Lie said.

"Then... goodbye!"

Lu Qingchan gently waved to Chen Lie.

After saying "I'm leaving," Chen Lie walked towards the training Martial Arts Arena.

As Lu Qingchan watched Chen Lie's departing figure, the sweet smile on her face gradually faded.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Lu Qingchan.

"Qingchan, what are you doing here?"

Lu Qingchan turned around and saw that it was her mother Xu Yunyan.

"Mom, I just saw Chen Lie."

"Chen Lie? Didn't he also join the Provincial Youth Genius Group? Isn't it normal for you to see him here?" Xu Yunyan said.

"His grades have improved so quickly."

"It was indeed a bit fast, but he is, after all, a Divine Sense Master, and besides, he must have been hiding some of his strength before," Xu Yunyan said.

Lu Qingchan gave an "Oh," looking somewhat listless.

"Qingchan, cheer up! Mom is taking you to meet Yuan Hao's uncle. According to seniority, you should call him 'Uncle'."

"Uncle?"

"That's Xu Tianchuan, the Grandmaster of the Xu Family and the chairman of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association."

Lu Qingchan asked, "Mom, do I have an uncle who is the president of the Martial Artist Association? Or Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

"Of course, Grandmaster Xu Tianchuan is my mother's cousin. He is actually from a collateral branch of the Xu Family, but he has exceptional martial arts talent. Before he was forty years old, he broke through to the Grandmaster Realm and became the core of the Xu Family by relying on his own strength."

However, Mother and her cousin Xu Tianchuan barely exchanged a few words. Before he became Grandmaster, Mother married your father.

Lu Qingchan said "Oh" and followed Xu Yunyan into the training area.

On the other side, Chen Lie had already arrived at the main group of the Genius Group, and the twenty-eight members of the Genius Group were each sitting in their own seats.

Gu Tian, the mentor of the Genius Group, came to the group of Genius Group members and said, "Dear students, today is the monthly selection of Grandmaster Seed for the Genius Group."

Two new members joined this month, and they may not be aware of it yet, so I'll explain it again here.

The term "Grandmaster Seed" refers to a genius recognized by the Martial Artist Association who has the potential to become Grandmaster Martial Artist in the future.

The selection criteria for Grandmaster Seed members are Blood Qi Value of 1800 calories and Strength Value exceeding four times the normal level.

Achieving these two things indicates a hope of the Ultimate Realm of the Qi Blood-Qi Stage.

"To become Grandmaster Seed member, in addition to meeting the above two requirements, becoming a Divine Sense Master allows for direct selection as Grandmaster Seed, or, provided Strength Value meets the standard, mastering an S-Rank Martial Art also qualifies one as Grandmaster Seed."

"Our East River Provincial Genius Group currently has five Grandmaster Seed members."

They are Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Tang Jiu'er, and Cui Jinyang.

The standards for Grandmaster Seed are the same Three Provinces of Chuanzhong. Yunchuan Province has 13 Grandmaster Seed Grandmaster Seed members, while West River Province has six. Among the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong, our East River Province has the fewest Grandmaster Seed.

"For this month's evaluation, I hope East River Province can add another Grandmaster Seed member."

As Gu Tian spoke, his gaze swept over the many members of the Genius Group: "Wang Dongting, Luo Zhixun, Xu Yuanhao, Tang Jiu'er..."

Cui Jinyang stepped forward.

As soon as Gu Tian finished speaking, the five Grandmaster Seed members stepped forward.

"The five of you are seed members of the Grandmaster Seed, and you are entitled to receive guidance from Grandmaster every month. Now, please enter the Duel Room next door. This time, you will be guided by President Xu the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the five Grandmaster Seed members immediately went to the Duel Room opposite the Martial Arts Arena.

After the five Grandmaster Seed members left, Gu Tian continued, "Students, there's Strength Detector in the Martial Arts Arena at the back. You can line up to have your Strength Value tested. Even if you don't meet the Grandmaster Seed evaluation criteria, the Martial Artist Association can still make a record."

Under Gu Tian's arrangement, more than twenty members of the Genius Group lined up in front of the testing equipment in the Martial Arts Arena.

The staff of the Martial Artist Association were responsible for recording and reporting the test results.

"Lu Qingyun, Blood Qi Value: 2122.78 kcal, Strength Value: 8275.36 (Equal)."

"Next!"

"Ning Xingchen, Value: 1256.51 kcal, Average Value: 4835.17."

"Next!"

As the young man acquired the item, he quickly arrived at Chen Lie.

Chen Lie went to the testing device and tested his blood Strength Value.

The measured values shocked the staff responsible for recording them.

"Chen Lie, Blood Qi Value 1815.85 calories, Strength Value 7613.33 (average)."

"His Blood Qi Value has exceeded 1800 calories, Strength Value has quadrupled, meeting the standards for Grandmaster Seed member."

As soon as he finished speaking, almost all the members of the Genius Group looked at Chen Lie in disbelief.

"Damn, this kid has only been in the Genius Group for a few days, how come his Blood Qi Value is so high? And his Strength Value has also exceeded four times?"

Lu Qingyun glared at Chen Lie, his teeth itching with hatred.

Although his Blood Qi Value had exceeded 2,000 calories, his Strength Value had not been able to reach four times, so he had not been able to become Grandmaster Seed. He was very jealous when he learned that Chen Lie, who had just entered the Genius Group, actually met the Grandmaster Seed standard.

Ning Xingchen, who had faced off against Chen Lie on the Duel Platform at the Genius Training Camp a few months prior, was utterly perplexed.

"Chen Lie, how did your skills improve so quickly in just two short periods of time?"

Chen Lie said, "I've always been like this, so why aren't you?"

Ning Xingchen simply shook his head. He had thought he was a level above Chen Lie, but he never expected Chen Lie's current strength to be so much greater than his.

"Chen Lie, Old Master requests your presence."

At this moment, a staff member came over and spoke to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie nodded and went to the podium where Gu Tian was standing.

As he left, he heard a test report.

"Song Yixuan, Blood Qi Value: 1258.93 calories, Strength Value: 5064.70 jun."

Chen Lie approached Gu Tian and asked, "Old Master, you were looking for me?"

Gu Tian looked at Chen Lie with great confusion and asked, "Chen Lie, you've only recently been promoted from the Genius Training Camp to the Genius Group, so how did you suddenly reach the standard of Grandmaster Seed?"

You should know that even in the Yunchuan Provincial Genius Group, Grandmaster Seed member would hold a place, and in our East River Provincial Genius Group, their performance would rank in the top ten.

Chen Lie knew, of course, that it was difficult to explain why his Blood Qi Value had increased by several hundred calories in just a few days, so he replied, "Old Master, just pretend I didn't reveal my true strength before."

"Oh?" Gu Tian asked curiously, "Then why are you revealing it now?"

"Because Grandmaster Seed members can occupy more resources," Chen Lie replied.

Gu Tian nodded. "I've looked at your information. As far as I know, your family isn't exactly top-tier."

Without the support of the provincial government and the Martial Artist Association, reaching your level of Blood Qi Value would have required at least a billion Star Dollar. How could you afford that?

"Old Master, that's my secret," Chen Lie said.

Since it's a secret, I won't ask any further.

Remember, in the East River Provincial Genius Group, you don't need to hide your strength. There's no jealousy or envy here. As long as you come from a respectable background, you can showcase your talent to the fullest.

If you can become Ji Lingxuan's successor, everyone in East River Province will be proud of you.

"I see."

Chen Lie nodded and was about to leave when he saw Song Yixuan walking over.

"Hello, Professor Gu."

"Hmm? Song Yixuan, is there something you need?" Gu Tian asked when he saw Song Yixuan suddenly arrive.

"Master Gu, what you just said, that if Strength Value reaches four times the normal level and one masters an S-Rank Martial Art, one can be selected as a Grandmaster Seed."

My Strength Value has reached exactly four times the normal level, and I also happen to be proficient in an S-rank martial art.

"Then may I be selected as Grandmaster Seed?" Song Yixuan asked.

"You said your Blood Qi Value has reached four times the normal level, and you're also proficient in S-Rank Martial Art?"

"Yes." Song Yixuan nodded.

"I will arrange for someone from the Martial Artist Association to examine whether the martial arts you are proficient in belong to the S-Rank Martial Art in a short while."

If there are no problems, he will naturally be considered Grandmaster Seed.

After saying that, Gu Tian said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, you undoubtedly meet the criteria for Grandmaster Seed member."

"Right now, Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Dongchuan Martial Artist Association, is in the Duel Room instructing Grandmaster Seed in martial arts. I think you shouldn't miss this opportunity. I'll take you to the Duel Room and let President Xu give you some pointers."

Chen Lie had no reason to refuse Gu Tian's suggestion, so he nodded and went to the Duel Room with Gu Tian.

Duel Room, Grandmaster Xu Tianchuan stood with his hands behind his back, simultaneously instructing five Grandmaster Seed members on martial arts.

Behind the Duel Room, Xu Yunyan held Lu Qingchan's hand and introduced, "Qingchan, you probably don't know this yet, but among the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, there are also different levels."

These five members of the Genius Group are all Grandmaster Seed, the best among the Provincial Youth Genius Group, which is why they receive Grandmaster guidance once a month.

"What about Chen Lie?" Lu Qingchan asked.

"Chen Lie? He naturally belongs to the bottom tier of the Provincial Youth Genius Group. After all, he just joined the Provincial Youth Genius Group, and his strength is naturally incomparable to these Grandmaster Seed," Xu Yunyan said.

"But Chen Lie's value is very low; he's far inferior to even Sister Qingying."

Xu Yunyan smiled and said, "Among the Provincial Youth Genius Group, who doesn't have high Blood Qi Value?"
