"Go quietly, without informing them beforehand?" Ruan Zhengzhi asked.

"No notification! Go directly to East River Province."

Ruan Liusu said, "We're about to go to the Northwest Combat Military Training."

Just then, the Blue Star Martial Artist Association encouraged members of the Genius Group from the top-ranked provinces in the Blue Star Blue Star Martial Arts Index Blue Star Martial Arts Index to exchange martial arts skills with impoverished provinces ranked outside the top fifty.

It's called an exchange of martial arts knowledge, but in reality, it's about us explaining the advanced Martial Arts Knowledge of the martial arts powerhouses to the less developed provinces in advance.

The Martial Artist Association's event is currently unpopular, and since I'm going to East River Province anyway, I might as well sign up!

"Alright, let's set off the day after tomorrow!"

Ruan Zhengzhi nodded.

Ruan Liusu smiled. Based on what she saw at the last Three-Province Martial Tournament, Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan should both have reached the Organ Refining Stage.

It is truly remarkable that someone from such a small place, without the simplicity of Blue Star University, could reach the Organ Refining Stage.

She herself had only recently completed the cultivation of her two internal organs.

"That Chen Lie's strength shouldn't surpass mine, right?"

It's hard to say, because Ji Lingxuan from Cloud River Province ultimately demonstrated strength no less than his own, yet he still lost to Chen Lie.

"Looks like she's a Divine Sense Master. Being able to use Mental Power to subdue enemies means she's definitely a high-level Divine Sense Master."

At this age, to have reached the level of Divine Sense Master, one must be a genius in Mental Power, and with such good talent in martial arts, even though one comes from a poor province, one is still a Three-Province Martial Champion.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was slightly attracted to this person she hadn't had much contact with. Otherwise, she would never have wasted time chatting on Green Bubble during her martial arts training, let alone made a special trip to East River Province for him.

With military training approaching, Chen Lie's parents prepared many things for his trip.

Several days later, Chen Xingyao was finally able to skillfully conceal his Consciousness Sea World.

At Chen Lie's suggestion, Chen Xingyao contacted the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association and asked them to come and pick him up after June 10th.

To Chen Xingyao's surprise, the very next morning, people from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association came knocking on his door after he contacted them that day.

A dignified and imposing middle-aged man in his forties arrived at the door, accompanied by two people.

Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan were puzzled when they saw the middle-aged man who had suddenly arrived at their door.

"Greetings, citizens of Blue Star. This is Lin Muzhi, the vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association," the accompanying person introduced.

"The president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association?" Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan were both surprised.

This person is probably one of the most important figures on Blue Star, so why would they suddenly come to their house?

Lin Muzhi, president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, spoke up, "You two must be Mr. Chen Gequn and Ms. Feng Yuelan, the parents of student Chen Xingyao?"

Is Chen Xingyao home?

"Those of you at home, what are you doing here—"

"You two must both be aware of the agreement we, the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, made with Chen Xingyao."

This time, we've come specifically to pick up Chen Xingyao and take her to Lanjing.

Feng Yuelan couldn't help but ask, "Going to Lanjing? Why so suddenly?"

"This was decided after discussing it with Chen Xingyao. Is Chen Xingyao home?" Lin Muzhi asked.

"Please come in, Chairman Lin!"

At Chen Gequn's invitation, Lin Muzhi entered the living room, while two accompanying persons stood guard outside the door.

Feng Yuelan quickly called Chen Xingyao out.

"Yaoyao, this is Lin Muzhi, the vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association headquarters. He's here specifically to take you to Lanjing."

Chen Xingyao exclaimed in surprise, "I just made the call yesterday, how come it's so fast?"

Lin Muzhi then stood up and said, "Hello, Chen Xingyao. I am Lin Muzhi from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Headquarters, the one who communicated with you yesterday."

"Hello, Chairman Lin."

Chen Xingyao slightly nervous. She recognized the man in front of her; he was a regular on Blue Star Satellite TV and probably one of the top figures on Blue Star.

"Chen Xingyao, don't be nervous. I'm here today specifically to pick you up."

Lin Muzhi smiled and said softly.

"But didn't I say I'd wait until after military training?" Chen Xingyao asked.

"I came here suddenly for your safety."

The Genius Protection Bureau has cracked down on a group of Outer Stars spies. Your call yesterday was just transferred by one of these Outer Stars spies.

We are unsure whether this spy stole your message and forwarded it.

But for your safety, you must come with us to Lanjing today.

"How could there be Outer Stars spies?" Chen Xingyao, puzzled.

"Our Blue Star and our neighboring planets are in fierce competition, and we wish the other would be crushed in the competition."

"Your Sea of Consciousness Score is among the Canglan Star Domain Top 100 List. If neighboring stars find out, it wouldn't be surprising if they sent Grandmaster- level Martial Artist to eliminate you," Lin Muzhi said.

"Does that mean I have to go with you today?" Chen Xingyao asked.

"Yes, but you don't need to worry. Your Mental Power will be valued by the entire Blue Star."

I can guarantee that when you go to Lanjing, you will enjoy preferential treatment from global resources.

If you think Lanjing is a good place, you can bring your parents to settle Lanjing in six months.

"I'll have to ask my brother first."

"Is this Chen Lie?"

Lin Muzhi looked up and glanced at Chen Lie's room.

He was Divine Sense Grandmaster, Mental Power could materialize, whose will could intervene in reality, and whose perception was powerful. He sensed Chen Lie and Chen Xingyao as soon as he entered the room.

At this moment, Chen Lie also came out of the room.

Upon seeing Lin Muzhi in the living room, he greeted him, "President Lin."

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Lin Muzhi was slightly surprised. "This must be Chen Lie, right? He's already reached the Divine Sense Master level. Truly, a family with two prodigies."

I remember the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association also extended an invitation to you, but you declined.

So, are you interested in joining the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association?

If you'd like, you can come with me to Lanjing.

Chen Lie shook his head. "No."

That's such a pity.

Lin Muzhi shook his head slightly.

Chen Lie is currently ranked tenth on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking. This does not mean that he will be removed from the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking Divine Sense Master.

The Divine Sense Master Ranking on Blue Star is updated every three years, and those on the list are removed after three years, which means that the list is more prestigious.

The Blue Star government will make great efforts to recruit the top ten Mental Power on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Sea of Consciousness Score list, but will not force them if they refuse to be recruited.

But for someone like Chen Xingyao, who made it onto the Top 100 Ranking Apprentice Divine Sense Master in the Canglan Star Domain, being recruited by the authorities was a must, and he couldn't refuse.

"Brother, should I go with them today?" Chen Xingyao turned to look at Chen Lie.

"Remember what I told you, a few days later or a few days earlier makes no difference, go!" Chen Lie said.

"Oh well!"

Chen Xingyao at Lin Muzhi and said, "I'll go with you!"

Lin Muzhi nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, you can use this time to say goodbye to your family. I'll come pick you up this afternoon!"

After Lin Muzhi finished speaking, he took his leave.

Feng Yuelan couldn't help but say, "We're leaving for Lanjing so suddenly, and we haven't prepared anything yet."

"Mom, there's no need to prepare anything. Even a martial Grandmaster personally came to East River Province to pick up Yaoyao, which is enough to show how much the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association values Yaoyao."

"Lanjing is the most prosperous and wealthy place on Blue Star, far better than East River Province. It's impossible for Yaoyao to be lacking in resources," Chen Lie said.

The more outstanding a genius is on Blue Star, the more preferential treatment they will receive, which is intended to make them feel a sense of belonging to Blue Star home planet.

If a top genius is bullied, suppressed, and treated unfairly by the powerful and influential on their home planet, they will never appreciate their home planet's kindness when they grow up, and you can't expect them to repay it.

Planets in the cosmos where martial arts flourish place great importance on nurturing geniuses. Geniuses must enjoy preferential treatment to ensure their sense of belonging to their home planet and to repay it when they have the ability.

Chen Xingyao at Chen Lie and asked, "Brother, when are you going to Lanjing?"

"It should take about a month to complete the military training," Chen Lie said.

"Alright then, I'll go scout out Lanjing first."

Chen Lie reminded Chen Xingyao once again not to neglect his martial arts training.

In the afternoon, a miniature Star Boat hovered above Chen Lie's house.

Lin Muzhi, the vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, stepped down from the Star Boat.

"Lanjing is over 10,000 kilometers away from East River Province, so we'll take Star Boat to Lanjing. That way, we can get there in just over half an hour."

Lin Muzhi approached Chen Xingyao and spoke kindly.

"Is the Star Boat that fast? Um—in that case, could my brother give me a ride? Once we get to Lanjing, you can bring him back. It's only an hour round trip anyway."

Lin Muzhi's amiable expression vanished, replaced by a serious one. He patiently explained, "Xingyao, you are the future of our Blue Star."

Generally speaking, those geniuses who make Top 100 Ranking Apprentice Divine Sense Master in the Canglan Star Domain have great potential to become ninth-order Mental Power Grandmaster.

You may not know how dire the beast infestation situation is in the Northwest of our Blue Star. We have deployed nearly 80 percent of our global standing forces to the Northwest Frontline, yet it still pales in comparison. The beast infestation is currently escalating further, and this is the situation internally.

Externally, our Blue Star and Wood Source Planet are fierce competitors, resorting to all means to weaken each other in order to deal with the other.

Whether internally or externally, our Blue Star desperately desires the emergence of a Martial Artist at the Tenth-Order Heaven-Human Grandmaster Realm, or a ninth-tier Mental Power Grandmaster.

This trip to Lanjing is your first step towards self-reliance and strength. It's certainly not unreasonable for your family to see you off, but if you want to become a true strong person, you must break free from your dependence on your family.

Only with inner strength can one become a true powerhouse.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyao could only nod and say, "Alright then."

Lin Muzhi's face immediately showed a look of "this child is teachable," and he said, "After a few months, when you are more familiar with Lanjing, if you miss your family, the Divine Sense Master Association can send someone to pick them up and take them to Lanjing. It's even possible for them to settle down in Lanjing."

"The dangers from Outer Stars are so serious, won't my parents be in danger?" Chen Xingyao asked.

"Don't worry, the information of the families of all the protected geniuses on Blue Star has been mixed up, so there's no danger, let alone you," Lin Muzhi said.

Chen Xingyao nodded, turned around and said goodbye to her family, "Dad, Mom, I'm leaving!"

Chen Gequn nodded and said "Mm." Feng Yuelan said reluctantly, "When you get to Lanjing, you must take good care of yourself."

"Okay, I understand!"

Chen Xingyao then Chen Liedao, "Brother, I'll be waiting for you in Lanjing. You must come find me after you finish your military training and arrive in Lanjing!"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

After saying goodbye, Chen Xingyao followed the people from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association onto the Star Boat.

The Star Boat soared into the sky, instantly transforming into a blur before vanishing without a trace.

After Chen Xingyao left, Chen Lie and his family returned home.

Feng Yuelan suddenly said, "Yaoyao has suddenly gone to Lanjing. Will she have trouble adjusting? Will she encounter any danger?"

Chen Gequn said, "With the authorities taking this so seriously, there's definitely no danger. As for whether we'll be able to adapt, we'll get used to it after a while."

Feng Yuelan nodded.

That evening, Chen Lie received a notification from the Genius Group's Green Bubble group chat.

Gu Tian: "Students, tomorrow Genius Group from the top twenty provinces in the Blue Star Martial Arts Index will be coming to East River Province for an exchange. They will bring East River Province more advanced Martial Arts Knowledge to prepare us for entering Blue Star University soon. If you want to learn about the most advanced martial arts on Blue Star, don't miss it."

Chen Lie saw the news but didn't bother to pay attention to it. No matter how advanced the Martial Arts Knowledge was, it was only advanced on Blue Star. Compared with the Martial Arts Knowledge he possessed, it was still outdated.

He had no interest in the so-called exchange among the Genius Group from the top twenty provinces of Blue Star.

The next day, an airship from southern Sunan Province landed outside the square of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association.

Two girls disembarked from the airship.

One of the girls said to the other, "Liusu, what are you really thinking?"

They actually took the initiative to come to East River Province, one of the poorest provinces on Blue Star, to exchange Martial Arts Knowledge. The rest of the Genius Group would have avoided this at all costs; coming here would have been a complete waste of time.

"It's fine if you come by yourself, but why did you have to drag me along?"

"Responding to the call of the Blue Star government is the duty of every citizen of Blue Star. I've listened to you complaining all the way here, so stop nagging!"

The girl opposite frowned and said.

"Who would believe your nonsense!" the girl scoffed.

In the plaza of the Martial Artist Association, Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the East River Provincial Genius Group, was waiting outside the Martial Artist Association Building to greet them.

Seeing two young girls disembarking from the airship in Sunan Province, he quickly went aboard.

"You two must be members of the Sunan Province Genius Group, right?"

The two girls nodded in agreement.

"I'm Zhao Ziyan, a member of the Sunan Province Genius Group. This is Ruan Liusu, just like me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaodong quickly replied, "Welcome to East River Province, both of you, for traveling so far to impart your knowledge. I am Jiang Xiaodong, the exclusive steward of the East River Provincial Genius Group. The members of our East River Provincial Genius Group have been eagerly awaiting your arrival."

Ruan Liusu then asked, "Oh? Are all the members of your Provincial Genius Group waiting?"

"I think so!" Jiang Xiaodong invited, "Please come with me, both of you. The East River Provincial Genius Group's training ground is right next to the Martial Artist Association."

Ruan Liusu smiled slightly and went to the training ground of the Genius Group with Zhao Ziyan and Jiang Xiaodong.

While Ruan Liusu was in a good mood, Zhao Ziyan seemed somewhat impatient.

For her, coming to East River Province today was simply a waste of her life.

Zhao Ziyan casually asked, "Deacon Jiang, I heard that the assessment criteria for your East River Provincial Genius Group are 1,000 jin of Blood Qi Value, plus three times the Strength Value?"

"Yes, I didn't expect Zhao to be so familiar with our East River Province."

"I wouldn't presume to know them; I only heard about it secondhand."

Zhao Ziyan had naturally heard Ruan Liusu say this when she arrived. She said with a hint of disdain, "If this is the standard for your Genius Group's assessment, it would be difficult to even get into our Sunan Province's Genius Training Camp."

Our Genius Training Camp in Sunan Province requires a minimum of 800 kcal of Blood Qi Value, and at least 3.5 times the Strength Value.

Although he could hear the disparaging tone in Zhao Ziyan's voice, Jiang Xiaodong smiled obsequiously and said, "Our East River Province is relatively barren on Blue Star, so naturally it can't compare to a major province like Sunan Province, which ranks among the top twenty in Martial Arts Index."

As for the assessment standards for the Genius Group, the Martial Artist Association has already drafted a plan to raise them, and it will likely be officially implemented tomorrow.

At this moment, Ruan Liusu asked, "Deacon Jiang, I heard that the Martial Leader was ranked first in the East River Province martial arts competition also won first place in the Three-Provinces Martial Tournament. Your Martial Leader's martial arts skills must be quite high, right?"

Zhao Ziyan said with even more disdain, "What value can Martial Leader have in a province like East River Province, which is ranked near the bottom of Blue Star? I wonder if it can even meet the assessment standards of our Sunan Province Genius Group."

Jiang Xiaodong noticed that Zhao Ziyan seemed to be in a bad mood, so she kept belittling East River Province. He had met this Ruan Liusu once in Cloud River Province. Jiang Xiaodong originally thought she knew Chen Lie, but now it seemed that was not the case.

"At that time, the Martial Leader of Sichuan Chuanshan Eight Provinces Gathering. In the sparring, the martial arts champion of Yunchuan Province was able to suppress the Martial Leader of Guannei Province. In the Three-Province Martial Tournament, the Martial Leader of our East River Province defeated Cloud River Province."

This shows that the East River Province Martial Leader is even stronger than the Martial Leader of Guannei Province, so the Provincial Martial Leader must be extraordinary.

I'm not entirely sure about the specifics.

"Guannei Province ranks 34th in Martial Arts Index? East River Province is 76th, a difference of more than forty places between the two provinces."

You're telling me that a Martial Leader ranked 76th in a province on Blue Star Martial Arts Index is stronger than Martial Leader ranked 34th?

Zhao Ziyan naturally didn't believe it.

East River Province isn't very capable, but it's incredibly good at boasting.

Ruan Liusu said, "I've heard this rumor too, it should be true."

Zhao Ziyan looked completely incredulous; in fact, she genuinely didn't believe it.

Before long, Jiang Xiaodong brought Ruan Liusu and Zhao Ziyan to the training ground of the East River Provincial Genius Group.

Ruan Liusu looked around at the training grounds of the East River Provincial Genius Group and found that they were indeed not as bad as she had imagined.

Zhao Ziyan, however, looked at everything with obvious disdain.

To someone like her, born in one of the top twenty martial arts provinces on Blue Star, East River Province, a backward province, was practically an uncivilized barbarian land from hundreds of years ago.
