Northwest General Star

"Um?"

The surrounding members of the Genius Group suddenly felt a strange tremor and immediately looked towards the source of this dangerous aura, namely Chen Lie.

After focusing their attention on Chen Lie for a moment, they all felt a chill run down their spines, as if animals were facing a natural enemy, their limbs powerless.

Even members like Tang Jiu'er, who had reached the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, were no exception.

"What's going on? Why did Chen Lie's aura suddenly change?"

This feeling is like... Extreme Realm Pressure?

Tang Jiu'er felt strange. Chen Lie suddenly gave her the feeling of facing her older sister, who had already reached the peak of her Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, when her Qi Blood Qi Value was only a few hundred calories.

But how could that be? When her Blood Qi Value was close to two thousand calories, the Extreme Realm Pressure had already no effect on her. Moreover, she was already a Blood-Qi Extreme Realm expert, so the Extreme Realm Pressure should not cause her any discomfort.

Those closest to Chen Lie quickly moved away, all assuming Chen Lie was secretly using some powerful martial arts technique.

At this moment, the Special Enrollment Student from other provinces who were hunting Exotic Beast were all stunned.

"Holy crap, where did that Exotic Beast go?"

"Holy crap, it really is? What's going on?"

Several students Special Enrollment Student from other provinces, who were hunting a Exotic Beast resembling Giant Horned Rhino, saw the Exotic Beast suddenly turn and run away. They immediately gave chase, but could not catch up and had to let the Exotic Beast escape.

In the blink of an eye, all the dozens of Exotic Beast gathered nearby turned tail and ran away, leaving a group of Special Enrollment Student who were hunting Exotic Beast completely bewildered.

Chen Lie glanced at the Exotic Beast Radar. The Exotic Beast dot on the radar was now nearly a kilometer away from him, and he pondered to himself.

It seems I misjudged. The power of the Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone could not only make the Exotic Beast retreat 500 meters, but judging from the distance on the radar, it should be at least a kilometer away.

The Special Enrollment Student from East River Province were also very puzzled.

Why are all the Exotic Beast retreating?

What happened?

Chen Lie naturally wouldn't say that the Exotic Beast had left because of his coercion, and said, "Now that the Exotic Beast are gone, let's rest here for a while and then go back to the Shelter."

He had originally intended to venture alone into the depths of Kunlun Ruins, but having already wasted almost a whole day teaching the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province how to hunt Exotic Beast, he had no choice but to give up on the idea.

"Chen Lie, so you were here!"

At this moment, Chen Lie suddenly heard a clear and melodious voice coming from afar. He turned around and saw Ruan Liusu, Zhao Ziyan, and a handsome boy.

"How's your harvest in East River Province today? How many Exotic Beast did you hunt?"

Ruan Liusu came to Chen Lie's side and asked.

"We hunted 24 Exotic Beast today," Chen Liedao.

Zhao Ziyan, standing next to Ruan Liusu, scoffed, "They mobilized over a hundred people from one province and only managed to hunt down 24..."

A Exotic Beast.

Today, the three of us worked together and successfully hunted down 30 Exotic Beast, including one Tier 2 Exotic Beast.

"This is already a remarkable achievement on the first day of Military Training Ground," Ruan Liusu said.

The handsome boy behind her frowned, stepped forward, and asked in a calm tone, "Liusu, is this your friend?"

Aren't you going to introduce it to me?

Ruan Liusu glanced at the boy and said, "You two will most likely never cross paths in the future, so what's there to introduce?"

The handsome young man's face immediately darkened. They had been hunting the Exotic Beast together for several days, but he hadn't expected Ruan Liusu to be so disrespectful to him.

Zhao Ziyan then stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Let me explain. This is Liusu's friend, the East River Province Martial Leader, named Chen Lie."

Afterwards, she casually introduced him to Chen Lie: "This is Xu Yifei, a member of our Sunan Province Genius Group."

Chen Lie nodded, while the boy named Xu Yifei gave Chen Lie a cold look.

He had also heard rumors about the Sunan Province Genius Group.

Is this East River Province Martial Leader the person Ruan Liusu's family introduced him to?

How much strength could a Blue Star Martial Leader possibly possess from one of the poorest provinces on Earth? How dare they harbor such lustful thoughts towards a genius girl from a martial arts powerhouse?

They have absolutely no idea what they're capable of.

"By the way, Chen Lie, how many students from East River Province are admitted through the Special Enrollment Student this year?" Ruan Liusu asked.

360 people.

"360 people. Theoretically, the longest period of military training is half a month. If they hunt 24 Exotic Beast a day, they can complete the military training task on the last day of the training."

"The hunting efficiency will gradually increase afterward, but unexpected things are inevitable. How about I set aside half a day tomorrow to help you out?" Ruan Liusu said.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyan immediately said, "Stop joking, Liusu. You are the backbone of our Sunan Province. What will we do if you go to help East River Province?"

"Hasn't our province's task almost been completed? It won't matter if I'm absent for a day," Ruan Liusu said.

"No, have you forgotten that when we came here, the president of the Martial Artist Association told us to do our best to win the honor of the Northwest General Star?"

"There are only seven spots for Northwest General Star. Do you really expect us to compete with the top ten provinces on Blue Star?"

"They say they're among the top ten on Blue Star, but the geniuses from Blue Star top three provinces— Lanjing, Longhai, and Jingji— all skipped military training. The gap between us and the top provinces isn't that big, so why can't we strive for this rare honor?" Zhao Ziyan said.

Ruan Liusu said, "When I came back just now, I glanced at the Military Merit merit points ranking. There's a significant gap between our Sunan Province and the top seven, so we probably have no chance."

"The gap isn't small, but it's not huge either. If we work hard, we still have a chance to catch up."

"We've tried our best, and others will definitely try their best too. The gap is there, and it's not just a small difference; we can't catch up."

Chen Lie then asked, "What is the Northwest General Star?"

Zhao Ziyan rolled her eyes at Chen Liedao, "Your Blue Star is one of the worst in the world. The Northwest General Star has nothing to do with you, so why do you know so much?"

Xu Yifei, standing beside him, said with a slightly mocking tone, "The Northwest Light of the General Star can only be obtained by the top twenty martial arts provinces on Blue Star. East River Province seems to be a province ranked outside the top 70 on Blue Star, so knowing this won't do any good."

Ruan Liusu glanced at Zhao Ziyan and Xu Yifei and explained, "The Northwest General Star is a competitive system established by the Blue Star government for hunting Exotic Beast."

Based on their ranking of Military Merit merit points, the Northwest General Star are divided into two categories: collective and individual.

The title of "Light of the General Star" is a collective honor, and the beneficiaries are the provinces behind those Light of the General Star were selected for the Special Enrollment Student.

The Light of the General Star compares the total Military Merit merit points earned by all Special Enrollment Student during military training across different provinces, with each province acting as a collective.

The seven provinces with the most Military Merit merit points will receive the honor of "Light of the General Star, "Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters will allocate global resources to the provinces that receive this Light of the General Star the following year.

The second type is Individual General Star, which is based on the number of Military Merit merit points obtained by an individual in hunting Exotic Beast.

The seven people who accumulate the most Military Merit merit points will receive the honor of Northwest General Star.

The person who wins the Northwest General Star will be rewarded with 100,000 Star Dollar by the Blue Star authorities, and the province where the person who won the Northwest General Star title is located will be notified and commended.

However, the 100,000 Star Dollar awarded by Blue Star are not the Star Dollar circulating on our Blue Star, but the universal currency of the Central Galactic Empire. When you go to Starry Sky University in the future, you can use them to purchase martial arts resources from Outer Stars.

It's no exaggeration to say that our Blue Star's Star Yuan is practically worthless outside of space. Even 10 billion Blue Star Yuan wouldn't compare to 100,000 Star Yuan, the common currency of the Central Galactic Empire.

"I see."

Chen Lie nodded. In this way, he could try to obtain the 100,000 Star Dollar, the common currency of the Central Galactic Empire.

In the Central Galactic Empire, Divine Sense Master naturally have a strong advantage over low-intelligence Exotic Beast. Among beasts of the same level, a single Mental Power Impact can cause several thousand Exotic Beast to lose consciousness and perish on a spiritual level. Unless they encounter Exotic Beast with powerful bloodlines, ordinary Exotic Beast have no power to resist the Mental Power Impact of Divine Sense Master.

Of course, the Divine Sense Master on Blue Star certainly don't possess such power, because they fall short in every aspect.

The two most important points are: firstly, because of weak Mental Power, with Shuangshuang Mental Power purity and intensity being low.

Secondly, the methods for controlling Mental Power are crude and inefficient.

It's likely that only Third-Rank Divine Sense Master Blue Star to Earth could achieve what Chen Lie has.

"Liusu, why are you telling him all this? Do you think East River Province, which is at the bottom of Blue Star, can compete with the top ten provinces on Blue Star?" Zhao Ziyan said.

Ruan Liusu glanced at Zhao Ziyan and said indifferently, "Ziyan, Chen Lie is also my friend. How do you put me when you speak to me like that?"

"I've always talked like this, it's just a habit. Never mind, forget I said anything." Zhao Ziyan shrugged.

Ruan Liusu then looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, your mission to hunt 360 Exotic Beast in East River Province shouldn't require you to kill Tier 2 Exotic Beast, right?"

"No, just 360 Tier 1 Exotic Beast."

"Okay, it's settled then. Tomorrow, it'll be the same place. I'll do your military training for a day."

After Ruan Liusu finished speaking, she suddenly noticed that the surroundings were eerily quiet. She looked around with her beautiful eyes but did not find a single trace of the Exotic Beast.

"There are too few Exotic Beast here. How about we advance a few more kilometers tomorrow?"

Anyway, we can meet here tomorrow!

Chen Lie nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ziyan and Xu Yifei both looked at Chen Lie with resentment.

So you just nodded and accepted it?

Accepting help so readily, this marriage proposal is practically blatantly a case of living off a woman!

After the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province had finished their rest, Chen Lie led more than a hundred people back to the Shelter.

Today, 24 Exotic Beast were successfully hunted. When handing in the Exotic Beast Radar, Chen Lie received several Military Merit Points Card and gave them to the people who contributed the most to the Exotic Beast.

Back in the Dormitory Building, Chen Lie went to the temporary office area and said to Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan, "We hunted 24 Exotic Beast today. Record the progress of the military training mission."

"Okay!"

Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan nodded.

Chen Lie took out a blue Military Merit Points Card and gave one to each of them.

"This is Military Merit Points Card. With your combined Blood Qi Value, you can purchase a fourth-tier beast meat meal at the restaurant."

"Give it to us? But we didn't do anything today!"

Feng Shuangshuang couldn't help but say something when she saw the Military Merit Points Card that Chen Lie handed her.

Lu Qingchan also felt unworthy of the points; many members of the Genius Group hadn't even received any points cards, how could the two of them?

"You don't need to do anything. Just take what I've given you."

If a military training group leader doesn't even have this much power, what's the point of being a leader?

"Wouldn't this be inappropriate? What if others criticize me?"

"Whoever accused you, tell them to come find me!"

After Chen Lie finished speaking, he threw the two Military Merit Points Card on the table, then turned and left.

Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan exchanged a glance and silently put away their points cards.

The next morning, Chen Lie once again led more than a hundred Special Enrollment Student to the entrance and exit of the Shelter.

This time, all one hundred members of the Genius Training Camp were replaced.

After putting on the Exotic Beast Radar, Chen Lie walked ahead and left the Shelter.

Two kilometers away from the Safe Zone of the Shelter, Ruan Liusu had been waiting for more than half an hour. During that time, she chose a Tier 1 Exotic Beast Exotic Beast beast that was not particularly powerful and hunted it down by herself.

Ruan Liusu, who was resting, soon saw Chen Lie arrive and went up to him.

"Chen Lie, you're finally here. You'll provide support and let's see if the two of us can hunt down 25 Exotic Beast together today."

She had witnessed Chen Lie's strength at the Three-Provinces Martial Tournament. Ji Lingxuan, the Martial Leader from Cloud River Province, was quite formidable, yet Chen Lie still managed to win first place in the Three-Province Martial Tournament, demonstrating that Chen Lie true strength was definitely above hers.

"Alright then, you don't need to help hunt the Exotic Beast anymore. The fact that you can hunt so many Exotic Beast a day means you've already summarized your experience in hunting Exotic Beast. Why don't you teach our group your experience?" Chen Lie said.

"Alright then, I'll play support later, guiding your people on how to hunt down the Exotic Beast with minimal effort in crucial moments."

"Good!"

Chen Lie pointed to Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er's group, indicating that Ruan Liusu should go help them, while Chen Lie himself went to Wang Dongting and Song Yixuan's group.

Song Yixuan is quite strong, but she's been just going through the motions when hunting Exotic Beast, not really putting in any effort. Otherwise, her contribution would definitely be no less than Ruan Liusu's.

With Ruan Liusu's help, the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province successfully hunted 20 Exotic Beast in just one morning. During this time, Ruan Liusu shared her experience in hunting Exotic Beast with Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er, who were both at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm.

"Our Martial Leader has such a wide network of connections; he even has friends in a major martial arts province like Sunan Province, and he's come all the way here to help us."

"Yes, at this pace, the military training should be completed in ten days."

The Special Enrollment Student students from the East River Province Genius Training Camp were all talking amongst themselves.

When the Special Enrollment Student in Sunan Province heard that the top five members of their province's Genius Group were helping an impoverished province, they were all incredulous, and many of them even came to watch.

Someone couldn't help but say, "What kind of nonsense is this? Our top combat force in Sunan Province is neglecting its own province's military training tasks and instead helping other provinces!"
