Betraying Her Own?

"Oh well."

Seeing that Ruan Liusu refused, Chen Lie stepped forward and finished her off himself.

The score data on the Exotic Beast Radar on his wrist was updated again.

Radar data shows that Chen Lie currently has 49 Military Merit merit points, which means he has already hunted 49 Exotic Beast.

"Chen Lie, your Mental Power technique is a nemesis to Tier 1 Exotic Beast, but will it be effective against Tier 2 Exotic Beast?" Ruan Liusu asked.

"Tier 2 Exotic Beast are much stronger than Tier 1 Exotic Beast overall. The powerful Blood Fiend Power Tier 2 Exotic Beast can largely block Mental Power attacks, so Mental Power techniques are naturally less effective against Tier 2 Exotic Beast."

The effect was greatly reduced; Chen Lie was right.

If he uses his full strength, he can directly erase the will of Tier 1 Exotic Beast from the mental level, but against Tier 2 Exotic Beast, he can only make it temporarily lose consciousness and fall into a coma.

Ultimately, however, the effect on Tier 2 Exotic Beast is about the same as that on Tier 1 Exotic Beast.

This won't work against Tier 3 Exotic Beast. Tier 3 Exotic Beast have a far superior mental level than first- or second-tier Exotic Beast, and their bodies are surrounded by blood and evil energy, which can block nine-tenths of the Mental Power Impact.

However, he certainly couldn't say these things outright.

"A significant discount? Does that mean it still has a remarkable effect?"

"You could say that."

"With your skills in hunting Exotic Beast, combined with your invincible Mental Power techniques, taking down one of the Seven Generals should be no problem at all."

"Um—I just used twenty of your Exotic Beast, will that affect you?"

"No, today is just a warm-up. The real hunt begins tomorrow."

Ruan Liusu nodded, increasingly able to sense Chen Lie's extraordinary qualities.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"Good!"

After Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu finished speaking, they walked back together.

This is the central part of the Military Training Ground, more than ten kilometers away from the Shelter. It took Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu an hour to reach the Shelter.

By the time we arrived at the Shelter, it was already completely dark.

At the entrance and exit of the Shelter, more than a hundred Special Enrollment Student from East River Province remained, all waiting for Chen Lie.

Upon seeing Chen Lie return, several members of the Genius Group went up to greet him.

"Captain, you're back?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement.

Seeing that all the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province were present, Ruan Liusu Chen Liedao, saying, "Chen Lie, I'm leaving now."

After she finished speaking, Chen Lie nodded in response, and she left on her own.

Seeing Ruan Liusu leave, Luo Zhixun asked, "Captain, our two groups hunted a total of 26 Exotic Beast today. How much did you get?"

"We had some success; we hunted down 49 Exotic Beast."

"49 heads?"

The Genius Group nearby all gasped in astonishment.

The number of kills in just half a day was equivalent to the total number of kills by more than a hundred people in two days.

"49 Exotic Beast hunted in just one afternoon, and only two people did that? That's incredible!" Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"If we continue at this pace, we can complete the military training in less than five days," Luo Zhixun added.

Chen Lie gave the Exotic Beast Radar to the Shelter staff and also received dozens of Military Merit Points Card.

Upon exiting the Shelter, Chen Lie summoned Luo Zhixun and Wang Dongting, handed them the point cards, and said, "We have enough points now. Give one of these point cards to each member of the Genius Group. Any extra point cards can be given to the students in the Genius Training Camp who contributed the most to hunting Exotic Beast."

"Yes, we understand."

More than 100 students admitted through the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province returned to their Dormitory.

Once they arrived at the Dormitory, Luo Zhixun found a secluded spot and approached Chen Lie, asking, "Chen Lie, are you going to act alone again tomorrow?"

"Okay, from now on, you two groups can continue with your military training as usual. I'll handle things on my own."

"It's okay if we hunt fewer Exotic Beast; I'll fill the rest."

Luo Zhixun's eyes flickered, and she opened her mouth, but still reminded him, "Captain, your friend from another province also has to complete their own military training. If you keep asking her for help, she might feel a little awkward, right?"

"What are you thinking? I'm not planning to ask anyone for help."

"Oh, oh." Luo Zhixun nodded and then said, "Isn't it too dangerous to act alone?"

In case we encounter Tier 2 Exotic Beast, or a flying Exotic Beast ----"

"Then I'll tell you the truth: I've cultivated a secret Mental Power technique that naturally counters Exotic Beast. First and second-tier Exotic Beast can't harm me."

I intend to compete for the individual Northwest General Star title.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zhixun immediately asked, "Is it the competitive mechanism for hunting Exotic Beast set up by the Blue Star government, the seven people who hunted the most Exotic Beast alone in the four Military Training Ground?"

"You know?" Chen Lie glanced at Luo Zhixun.

"Hmm," Luo Zhixun said, "Before my father became the Provincial Governor East River Province, he worked at Blue Star University, so I've heard a little about the Northwest General Star."

Why didn't the Martial Artist Association mention this to us when we set off?

That's because the Northwest General Star System was specifically established for the top twenty provinces on Blue Star.

It could even be said that it was established for the top ten martial arts provinces on Blue Star, and has nothing to do with backward provinces like ours.

This system of hunting Exotic Beast tests both the overall strength of the Special Enrollment Student in a province and the individual strength of each Special Enrollment Student student.

Since its inception, the competition mechanism for Northwest General Star has never included provinces outside the top twenty on Blue Star.

"I see." Chen Lie nodded.

"Sorry, Chen Lie, we've let you down."

In the top 20 provinces of Blue Star, the competition for Individual General Star is fueled by the support of teammates, yet you still have to worry about us.

Chen Lie waved his hand. "Don't say that. I'm also a native of East River Province, and I've enjoyed so many of the province's resources. It's only right that I care about East River Province."

Moreover, obtaining Individual General Star shouldn't be too difficult for me.

"Not difficult? The top seven Individual General Star should all be the Martial Leader from the top ten provinces on Blue Star, right?"

Luo Zhixun was instantly confused. The Martial Leader from the top ten provinces of Blue Star were all the most outstanding martial arts geniuses on Blue Star. How could she possibly compete with such opponents?

Relying solely on a single Mental Power technique?

Chen Lie nodded and said "Mm," without offering any further explanation.

On the other side, Yue Lin, the Martial Leader the Sunan Province Genius Group and the leader of the military training group, returned to the entrance of the Shelter.

At this moment, a student Special Enrollment Student from Sunan Province walked over. "Captain Yue, you're back?"

Yue Lin glanced at the Special Enrollment Student and said calmly, "What is it?"

"Uh... it's like this, Bai Xianxian from our group asked me to tell you that Ruan Liusu didn't do any military training today, but instead went to help her friend from another province."

Yue Lin frowned and said, "I understand!"

The Special Enrollment Student smiled and left the Shelter.

It was late at night in the temporary office in the Dormitory Building building of Sunan Province where military training tasks were recorded. Many Special Enrollment Student who had returned from the Sunan Province Military Training Zone had come here to hand over their tasks.

How much of today's task progress have you completed?

After everyone had finished submitting their tasks, Bai Xianxian walked up to the two students from the Special Enrollment Student in Sunan Province who had been assigned the task of compiling statistics and asked them a question.

"Our Sunan Province has a total of 2,120 Special Enrollment Student, who need to hunt 2,020 Tier 1 Exotic Beast and 100..."

First-tier Tier 2 Exotic Beast.

We have now hunted 1963 Tier 1 Exotic Beast and 71 Tier 2 Exotic Beast, for a total of 2105 points, and the mission completion rate has reached 95%.

A student who had just returned from the danger zone in the center of the Military Training Ground tapped the Points Ranking Board screen. He was now ranked seventh in the Jinhai Province with a total score of 2430.

Captain Yue and Ruan Liusu, two top-tier combatants, haven't returned yet. Once they come back, they should be able to add another 100 points to our current 2105 points, bringing us within 300 points of the Light of the General Star.

The Special Enrollment Student, who was responsible for recording the progress of the task, replied.

Bai Xianxian suddenly scoffed and said, "Do you really think you can rely on that traitor Ruan Liusu?"

To help the leader of her impoverished province, Ruan Liusu didn't go on a mission today; instead, she helped hunt Exotic Beast in another province.

Many of the trainees in the Genius Training Camp know this, surely you don't?

Many of the students admitted through Special Enrollment Student from Sunan Province looked at each other in bewilderment.

Most people believe that Ruan Liusu's performance in the military training a few days ago far surpassed that of others, and that Sunan Province probably has no hope of winning the Light of the General Star, so missing a day is not a big deal.

However, some people felt that Ruan Liusu's decision to abandon her own province to help another province was indeed going too far.

Most importantly, the person she helped was the blind date that her family had supposedly introduced her to, which many people found unacceptable.

Bai Xianxian, I advise you to watch your words.

Before you say those things, please calculate how well you've accomplished your task and whether you're qualified to criticize Ruan Liusu.

Zhao Ziyan then launched another counterattack.

"Ha!"

Bai Xianxian smiled disdainfully and said, "Zhao Ziyan, who doesn't know about your private relationship with Ruan Liusu? You're inseparable all the time?"

Don't give me this nonsense. I know you want to protect Ruan Liusu.

Although my task completion rate was not as high as Ruan Liusu's, I did my best for Sunan Province. Unlike Ruan Liusu, who enjoyed so many resources from Sunan Province, only to betray them in the end.

He's such an ungrateful wretch!

"Who doesn't know that you harbored resentment towards Ruan Liusu because you were injured by her in the provincial martial arts competition, causing you to slip out of the top five, and that's why you've been holding a grudge against Ruan Liusu ever since?"

"Since it's because of personal grievances, don't use the banner of righteousness to criticize others," Zhao Ziyan said calmly.

Bai Xianxian snorted coldly and said, "I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you!"

Just then, Yue Lin, the Martial Leader of Sunan Province, arrived at the first floor of the Dormitory Building.

Seeing the tense situation outside the office, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Yue Lin, Bai Xianxian quickly said, "Captain Yue, Ruan Liusu abandoned our Sunan Province today to help other provinces hunt Exotic Beast."

I could only say a few words, but Zhao Ziyan wouldn't let it go.

When Zhao Ziyan heard Bai Xianxian completely deny her involvement, her eyes immediately blazed with anger.

Just as he was about to refute, Yue Lin suddenly said, "It's not a big deal, you two classmates shouldn't take it to heart."

.

Zhao Ziyan was immediately speechless. Yue Lin was a martial arts prodigy who had Special Enrollment Student in Southern Sunan Province for three consecutive months. He was highly respected in Sunan Province. Once he spoke, who would dare to disrespect him?

Bai Xianxian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Captain, what should we do about Ruan Liusu's matter?"

We can't just turn a blind eye to her disregard for important matters in Sunan Province, can we?

"What if we let this go unchecked and other members follow suit?"

Yue Lin said, "I will talk to Ruan Liusu about this matter, and we shouldn't mention it again."

He had no grudges against Ruan Liusu, and besides, Ruan Liusu was about to enter Blue Star University. Ruan Liusu had excellent family background and martial arts talent, so there was no need to make enemies at this juncture.

Furthermore, Ruan Liusu showed him the utmost respect on the surface; she knew how to uphold his dignity as the leader of the Martial Leader, so he wouldn't dare to trample on her face.

At this moment, Ruan Liusu walked into the Dormitory Building in Sunan Province.

She noticed the strange atmosphere immediately.

However, she ignored all of that and simply pushed open the door to her office.

Ruan Liusu summoned the Special Enrollment Student from Sunan Province who was in charge of recording the mission progress and said, "Make a note of this: I hunted twenty Tier 1 Exotic Beast and one Tier 2 Exotic Beast today."

"Good!"

The Special Enrollment Student in charge of recording quickly tallied the progress and noted it down.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Ziyan immediately went into the office and asked Ruan Liusu, "Liusu, didn't you go to help that person?"

How could he still hunt so many Exotic Beast?

"That's normal. We hunt Exotic Beast together, with Chen Lie taking the lion's share and me taking the smaller share," Ruan Liusu said.

"No way? The three of us at the Organ Refining Stage combined can only hunt a little over forty Exotic Beast a day at most. And among those forty-odd Exotic Beast, there might not even be a few Tier 2 Exotic Beast. You and that guy teaming up, even if you only get a small share, you can still hunt twenty-one Exotic Beast?"

"You underestimate Chen Lie's strength. When the Three-Provinces Martial Tournament, Cloud River Province had already entered the Organ Refining Stage. Even the Cloud River Province Martial Leader, who cultivated two major internal organs, was defeated by Chen Lie."

"Isn't Chuanzhong one of the worst provinces on Blue Star? When did it become Organ Refining Stage?" Zhao Ziyan couldn't help but ask.

"Blue Star is so big, with over 10 billion people, and more than half of them are impoverished provinces. What's so strange about a few slightly eccentric geniuses emerging from those impoverished provinces every year?" Ruan Liusu retorted.

No wonder your family arranged this marriage for you.

Zhao Ziyan's tone suddenly changed, and she said, "Luckily, you brought back a lot of goodies today. Just now, that woman surnamed Bai outside accused you of being a traitor, abandoning Sunan Province to help another province."

Ruan Liusu instantly flew into a rage. "That bitch Bai Xianxian, talking bad about me behind my back again?"

Ruan Liusu strode out of the office and came to Bai Xianxian.

"Bai Xianxian, you bitch, if you have the guts, go out and fight me! What kind of skill is it to talk behind someone's back like a cricket?"

Bai Xianxian snorted coldly and said, "Fine, I'll go. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Ruan Liusu turned around and walked straight out of the Dormitory Building, and Bai Xianxian followed her.

As a private duel was about to begin, everyone's eyes turned to Yue Lin, the Martial Leader.

It's military training time now, and a conflict has broken out between two members of the top ten Genius Group, which will affect their military training results.

Yue Lin said calmly, "Since the conflict is irreconcilable, let's have a fight."

However, as mentioned before, no excessive force is allowed. Regardless of who wins or loses, this matter must be put behind us; at least during military training, no further grudges are permitted.

The group of students admitted through Special Enrollment Student from Sunan Province nodded in agreement.

Outside the Dormitory Building, Ruan Liusu and Bai Xianxian started fighting as soon as they stepped out.

Neither of them gave way. Bai Xianxian used all her strength, unleashing a palm strike of 20,000 jin (approximately 60,000 kg) towards Ruan Liusu.

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of air exploding continued, but Ruan Liusu did not dodge. Instead, she took Bai Xianxian's palm strike head-on.

Immediately afterwards, Ruan Liusu used her strongest SS-Rank Martial Art.

Centered on the spot where the two were fighting, the area within a radius of several dozen meters was instantly shaken by the aftershocks of the battle.

Once Ruan Liusu unleashed his SS-Rank Martial Art, Bai Xianxian was instantly put at a disadvantage.

Ruan Liusu's powerful qi and blood surged uncontrollably, and combined with his SS-level martial arts, he quickly overwhelmed Bai Xianxian, leaving her unable to defend herself.

"Or perhaps Ruan Liusu has already completed the cultivation of both internal organs, and her martial arts are a level higher than mine. How am I supposed to fight her?"

She was initially unconvinced by Ruan Liusu because Ruan Liusu didn't have the strength to overwhelm her directly. Aside from being stronger in martial arts, Ruan Liusu's martial arts realm was lower than hers.

Now that her martial arts level has caught up with his, and her martial arts techniques are stronger than his, how can he possibly defeat her?

In the blink of an eye, Ruan Liusu had pressed down on Bai Xianxian and delivered dozens of blows, making Bai Xianxian suffer greatly.

Ruan Liusu's qi and blood circulated rapidly, unleashing the strongest strike of SS-Rank Martial Art.

Bai Xianxian had been suppressed the whole time, and she had no way to avoid this attack.

With the force of 20,000 jin and the enhancement of SS-Rank Martial Art, Bai Xianxian was instantly filled with despair. Having been hit by this move, she would have to recuperate for the entire military training period.

At that moment, a sudden external force came.

"Boom!"

Yue Lin leaped up and appeared in front of Bai Xianxian, suppressing Ruan Liusu's strongest attack with a flick of his palm.

Due to the force of the recoil, Ruan Liusu instantly took two steps back.

After forcefully deflecting Ruan Liusu's palm strike, Yue Lin said expressionlessly, "I just said, you're not allowed to use excessive force."

If you really have any unresolved conflicts, you can resolve them after military training.

Ruan Liusu snorted coldly and said, "Bai Xianxian, I'll let you off this time. But if you dare to provoke me again, you'll be sorry after military training!"

After saying that, Ruan Liusu turned around and went back to her Dormitory Building.

She came back with a lot of gains, and even if she's a bit assertive, the other members have nothing to say.

Despite his assertive nature, Yue Lin, as the leader of the military training group, still deserved respect.

Before setting off, the Sunan Province Martial Artist Association repeatedly emphasized that they must obey Yue Lin's command and dispatch. Naturally, they could not disobey the orders of the Martial Artist Association, otherwise the more than two thousand Special Enrollment Student in Sunan Province would be in complete chaos and would be impossible to manage.

After having a Tier 5 Beast Meat Meal at the Shelter's restaurant, Chen Lie returned to his Dormitory.

The next morning, Chen Lie went to the Military Training Ground alone.

Today he was all alone, so he could hunt the Exotic Beast with complete freedom.

Although Chen Lie was highly skilled at hunting Exotic Beast Exotic Beast, he could only hunt no more than a hundred Exotic Beast a day at most, which was extremely exhausting.

But if you use your Mental Power to hunt down Exotic Beast, it will be much easier.
