All-Member Martial Competition

"Wei Ranran and Lu Qingying, please stand up and let the other members get to know you."

After Gu Tian finished speaking on the podium, Wei Ranran and Lu Qingying stood up at the same time. After Wei Ranran and Lu Qingying introduced themselves, Gu Tian asked them to sit down again.

"Every year before the special recruitment for Blue Star University, our Genius Group's thirty spots are almost always filled."

Our East River Provincial Genius Group now has thirty members, more than the Genius Group of West River Province and Cloud River Province.

You must work even harder and strive to achieve a good ranking in the upcoming Three Rivers Martial Tournament.

News spread that the two provinces of West River Province and Cloud River Province had held a martial arts competition for all members of their Genius Group two days ago, and the final result showed that Ji Lingxuan was still the Yunchuan Province Martial Leader.

The Martial Leader of West River Province was a man named Gu Yang.

At this moment, Wang Dongting frowned and asked, "Old Master, who is this Gu Yang?"

Did Liu Yiming, the previous champion of the West River Province Martial Leader, lose to Gu Yang?

Gu Tian looked at Wang Dongting and said, "I know a little about Gu Yang, but not much. Two months ago, Gu Yang was named Grandmaster Seed Member of the West River Province Provincial Genius Group."

In this martial arts competition for the West River Province Genius Group, it is said that Gu Yang defeated Liu Yiming by a great margin.

Wang Dongting fell into deep thought.

At a recent Eight Provinces Genius Gathering, he had a friendly sparring session with Liu Yiming, the Martial Leader from West River Province.

Although neither of them used their full strength, Wang Dongting could still sense that he and Liu Yiming were evenly matched.

Liu Yiming was clearly someone who had just entered the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, yet he was defeated by Gu Yang.

This indicates that Gu Yang is a Blood-Qi Extreme Realm even stronger than Liu Yiming.

"Alright, now let's talk about this martial arts competition in East River Province."

Let me first announce the rules of the martial arts competition: all members of the Genius Group must participate in the martial arts competition.

Because all the top performers in this month's martial arts competition are key members in securing rankings at the Three-Province Martial Tournament, the reward system this month is different from previous years.

"According to the regulations issued by the Martial Artist Association, the top ten in this martial arts competition will all receive double the points rewards."

That is, the first place Martial Leader will receive a reward of 2 million points, the top three will receive 1.6 million points, the top five will receive 1 million points, and the top ten in the martial arts competition will each receive 600,000 points.

In addition, based on the rankings in the martial arts competition, members who improved their ranking by three places compared to the previous competition will each receive a reward of 100,000 points. Those who improve their ranking by one place beyond the previous three will receive an additional 50,000 points, with no upper limit.

"Dear students, the support from the East River Provincial Government and the Martial Artist Association for you is unprecedented. We only hope that you can bring glory to the province and strive to occupy one more place in the top ten of the Three-Provinces Martial Tournament."

Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Martial Artist Association, also specifically instructed that the top three members of this martial arts competition be given a special opportunity to reserve martial arts resources. The search efforts will be intensified, and the search scope will be expanded from the Chuanshan Eight Provinces and Shaanxi to the Southwest Seventeen Provinces.

In other words, the top three finishers in the martial arts competition will each have one opportunity to search for any resource, including Thousand-Year Spirit Medicine and Second-Order Martial Dao Rare Treasure.

"As long as the resource exists on Blue Star, there is an over 80% chance of successfully searching for it."

Sitting among the Genius Group below the stage, Chen Lie's heart stirred.

This special opportunity to search for resources seemed tailor-made for him.

He has now developed Tough Skin Resilient Flesh, but he still hasn't found the resources for the second step of body refinement: cultivating Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone.

This level of martial arts resources is definitely rare on Blue Star; it's impossible to find them without official channels.

"The reason I've gathered you all together today is to identify your opponents for the martial arts competition."

Although we are all members of the Genius Group, our progress in martial arts is different, and we joined the Genius Group at different times. For example, the two students who just joined the Genius Group today have just reached four digits in Blood Qi Value, while our previous Martial Leader Blood Qi Value is likely close to three thousand.

Making new members whose Blood Qi Value have just exceeded 1,000 calories directly spar with veteran members on the Duel Platform is not only unfair, but also a huge blow to the morale of the new members.

Therefore, the Martial Artist Association decided to divide the competition into two zones, with a minimum of 1,500 Blood Qi Value. Members with Blood Qi Value and Blood Qi Value below 1,500 will definitely be ineligible for the top ten and will compete against members with a Qi and Blood Qi Value below 500.

Students with Blood Qi Value of 1,500 or higher can spar with other students who also have Blood Qi Value of 1,500 or higher.

If someone with 1500 calories of Blood Qi Value disagrees with a member who has more than 1500 calories, they can issue a challenge, and the challenged party cannot refuse.

"Now, all members will have their Blood Qi Value and Blood Qi Value checked. The results will be recorded by staff."

During All-Member Martial Competition, we will try to arrange for two people with similar Blood Qi Value to spar.

After Gu Tian finished speaking, the thirty members of the Genius Group went to the adjacent Martial Arts Arena and, under the arrangement of the staff, underwent their Blood Qi Value tests in turn.

Luo Zhixun slowed her pace slightly as Chen Lie Chen Lie up, and asked, "Chen Lie, what's your Blood Qi Value?"

"Over two thousand calories. I've improved again recently, but I don't know the exact number yet," Chen Lie said.

"Then keep it up. I haven't measured my Blood Qi Value in a while, but they've probably reached around 2,500 calories."

Furthermore, I recently completed the sixth stage of body refinement, having finished Skin Refining and Muscle Refining, and my strength has now exceeded ten thousand jun.

Just as Chen Lie said "Congratulations," Tang Jiu'er caught up from behind. "Myriad Jun Great Strength, doesn't that mean you've already broken through to the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm?"

Luo Zhixun shook her head slightly. "Just one small step away."

After Skin Refining and Muscle Refining, and achieving a power exceeding ten thousand jun, one still needs to refine the blood and qi throughout the body. Only when the blood and qi circulate with a booming sound, reaching a state Blood-Qi Like Slurry, can one be considered to have truly reached the Ultimate Realm.

"That's only one step away from the Ultimate Realm."

Goodness, you're about to reach the Ultimate Realm with only 2,500 calories of Blood Qi Value. I heard that Wang Dongting only managed to break through to the Ultimate Realm when his Blood Qi Value over 2,700 calories.

"My sister once said that in Starry Sky University, the lower one's Blood Qi Value is when they reach the Ultimate Realm, the greater their future potential. You have a full two hundred Blood Qi Value ahead of Wang Dongting." Tang Jiu'er exclaimed.

"I haven't broken through to the Ultimate Realm yet, so let's not say that," Luo Zhixun said.

"What's the difference? It's just a matter of refining your entire body's qi and blood. It can be completed in two or three days," Tang Jiu'er said.

As they were talking, all the members of the Genius Group lined up in two queues to have their Qi and blood tested. The staff next to the Qi and Blood Essence Detector began to report the test results continuously.

"Wang Dongting, Blood Qi Value: 2879.73 kcal."

"Xu Yuanhao, Blood Qi Value: 2454.95 calories."

"Qi Yunxiao, Blood Qi Value: 1443.89 kcal."

Before long, several members of the Genius Group had finished measuring their Blood Qi Value.

Before Chen Lie, Luo Zhixun completed the blood and qi test.

"Luo Zhixun, Blood Qi Value: 2516.38 kcal."

After Luo Zhixun had her blood and qi tested, it was Chen Lie's turn.

Chen Lie stepped forward and arrived at the testing area of Blood Essence Detector.

-

At the same time, he immediately activated a secret technique to regulate his Qi and blood.

As the light swept across Chen Lie's body, the Blood Essence Detector began to broadcast the test results.

"Test complete, Blood Qi Value 2374.66 calories."

Staff reported the results, "Chen Lie, Blood Qi Value: 2374.66 kcal."

Upon hearing this result, the members of the Genius Group around him were all surprised and looked at Chen Lie.

Wasn't Chen Lie recently named Grandmaster Seed?

Why did my luck value suddenly break through the 2,000-card mark?

It's important to know that Grandmaster Seed with over 2,000 kilocalories of Blood Qi Value, if they can also maintain four times their Strength Value, has a very good chance of reaching the Ultimate Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage.

In another testing team, Wei Ranran saw her own Qi and Blood value exceeding four digits, and then saw Chen Lie and Blood value of over 2300 calories. Instantly, she felt a vast chasm between herself and the top-tier Genius Group members.

Lu Qingying, who was behind, was utterly shocked.

"How is that possible? His Blood Qi Value is actually two thousand calories?"

Wei Ranran said softly, "Qingying, Chen Lie is a Grandmaster Seed member. No matter what grudges you have, you should still show him some respect."

He kept his true strength hidden even during his time at the Genius Training Camp; his actual strength is terrifying.

"What is your relationship with Chen Lie?" Lu Qingying asked.

"My dad and Chen Lie's father were comrades-in-arms."

"Comrade-in-arms?" Lu Qingying narrowed her eyes.

For a Grandmaster Seed with 2,000 kilocalories of Blood Qi Value, origin and background are no longer important.

Because he has a very high probability of becoming Martial Arts Grandmaster in the future.

Before long, all members had their Blood Qi Value measured.

Gu Tian once again gathered the thirty members on the Lecture Platform.

"Students, the Martial Artist Association plans to hold Public Martial Competition tomorrow, April 1st, at 9:00 AM."

The Martial Leader competition will represent East River Province and meet with the Martial Leader of West River Province and Cloud River Province Provinces to discuss preliminary matters for the upcoming Three-Province Martial Tournament, and they will be featured together in the Blue Star Times.

At that time, celebrities from all walks of life in East River Province will be present, and outstanding Elite Student from major Martial Arts High School in the province, as well as some students from the Genius Training Camp, may come to watch the entire Genius Group's martial arts competition.

I hope everyone is well-prepared and in top form to face their opponents tomorrow.

"I've finished speaking. Have all the students run away now?"

The thirty members of the Genius Group dispersed.

"Chen Lie, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Your Blood Qi Value is actually 2,300 calories, almost catching up with mine."

Tang Jiu'er stepped down from the Lecture Platform and saw Chen Lie walking beside her, and couldn't help but say something.

"Oh, then it seems your blood and energy levels aren't very high either."

"Chen Lie, why do you talk so rudely? Do you want me to teach you a lesson in front of everyone at the martial arts competition tomorrow?" Tang Jiu'er snorted.

"If you're capable, then you can."

"Um?"

Seeing Chen Lie's arrogance, Tang Jiu'er felt a surge of displeasure. "Fine, I hope you can be just as tough on the Duel Platform tomorrow."

Luo Zhixun walked up and saw Tang Jiu'er's displeased expression, so she asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Tang Jiu'er said without elaborating.

Upon hearing Tang Jiu'er's words, Luo Zhixun said, "Chen Lie, I remember seeing you at the training ground a few days ago. You looked completely different. Did you successfully Skin Refining or Muscle Refining?"

Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.

"With 2,300 units of Blood Qi Value, you can complete the Skin Refining and Muscle Refining, which means you're not far from reaching the Ultimate Realm."

"Didn't we agree last time that we should make time to exchange ideas on martial arts? How about that?" Luo Zhixun asked.

"Okay, let's wait until after we eat."

Tang Jiu'er said, "The All-Member Martial Competition is tomorrow, and it's a public one. Time is tight. Do you even have time to eat?"

Zhixun, shall we go have a practice match? Let's get into combat form. You're a little stronger than me right now, so remember to save your strength.

"If you want to discuss martial arts, let's choose a time another time."

Luo Zhixun glanced at Chen Lie and said, "Alright then— Chen Lie, let's meet up again next time."

Chen Lie grunted in agreement and walked towards the restaurant.

"Zhixun, has Chen Lie really completed the Skin Refining and Muscle Refining refining?"

After Chen Lie left, Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but ask.

"I guess so?"

"With only 2,300 units of Blood Qi Value, he's already completed two steps of Body Refinement? Does that mean he's already reserved the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm?"

"Chen Lie's aptitude is indeed very strong," Luo Zhixun said.

Tang Jiu'er's heart stirred.

I haven't even finished the Muscle Refining process myself, and I never expected Chen Lie to have gotten ahead of me.

Chen Lie reached the entrance to the training ground, he heard a clear and sweet voice coming from behind him.

"Chen Lie!"

Chen Lie turned around and saw Wei Ranran walking towards him.

"Chen Lie, where are you going?"

Wei Ranran approached Chen Lie and asked.

"Let's go to a restaurant for dinner," Chen Lie said.

"Then I'll go with you, and I can also familiarize myself with the way to the restaurant," Wei Ranran said.

Chen Lie nodded and walked towards the restaurant with Wei Ranran.

Inside the restaurant, Chen Lie and Wei Ranran each ordered a meal and then found seats.

"Chen Lie, the All-Member Martial Competition is tomorrow, shouldn't you hurry up and prepare?"

Wei Ranran asked, sitting opposite Chen Lie.

"There's nothing to prepare."

Chen Liedao.

"Don't you want to be in the top three? The rewards for the top three in the martial arts competition are very generous."

"What's the point of fighting for the top three? If we're going to fight for anything, we should fight for first place."

"First place? The Provincial Martial Leader? But—didn't the previous Martial Leader's Blood Qi Value already approach three thousand calories?" Wei Ranran couldn't help but ask.

"If higher Blood Qi Value equals greater strength, then there's no need for martial arts competitions. Everyone could just discuss their Qi and Blood value, and whoever has the most would be ranked first, wouldn't that be enough?"

"But a difference of Blood Qi Value might not be significant, but how can a difference of four or five hundred calories in Blood Qi Value be made up for?"

It's normal for Grandmaster Seed to have an indomitable will, but if the gap is too large, even the strongest will won't help.

Chen Lie's actual Blood Qi Value are about the same as Wei Ranran's.

However, with a tenfold increase in Strength Value, even a difference of over a thousand calories in stamina is not insurmountable.

Of course, he definitely wouldn't say that.

After finishing their meal, Chen Lie said goodbye to Wei Ranran.

The next day, April 1st, Chen Lie ate a quick breakfast and went to the training ground of the Genius Group.

The training grounds for the Genius Group have been completely transformed after a day of renovations by the staff.

A battle platform of nearly 1,000 square meters was set up in the center of the Martial Arts Arena.

There are hundreds of seats Duel Platform.

Several huge banners were hung around the Duel Platform.

The banners all bore the same words. "Open Martial Arts Competition for All Members of the Dongchuan Province Youth Talent Group".

When Chen Lie arrived at the martial arts competition venue at the Genius Group's training ground, it was not yet eight o'clock, but the temporary venue was already filled with people.

The instructors from various Martial Arts High School whispered instructions to their Elite Student.

"Students, please keep quiet in the venue and do not make any noise so as not to disturb the competition among the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group."
