Huo Jinghong

"So, there's more than one candidate for the position of Blue Star's Administrator?"

Shen Miaowei nodded and said, "Indeed, there is more than one. Nobody knows exactly how many. The authorities have never announced it."

However, individuals who can be considered martial arts geniuses even at Starry Sky University are extremely rare, numbering only a handful on Blue Star.

"Oh, I thought there was only one Administrator Candidate on Blue Star. Turns out there are multiple. It seems that Administrator Candidate is just a title with no real power," Chen Lie said.

Shen Miaowei explained, "That's not how it's said. Administrator Candidate have the administrative status of members of the Global Political Council. In theory, their status is half a level higher than that of Provincial Governor in a regular province."

Of course, it is also true that he has no real power. For someone who is devoted to martial arts, real power is of no use. However, the position of the Administrator Candidate is extraordinary. If he wants to do something, he can just say it, and even the Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters will not refuse to give him face.

The support that Blue Star provides to geniuses who become Administrator Candidate must be enormous, because their social status, personal talent, and every other aspect far surpass what we ordinary Blue Star University Special Enrollment Student can achieve.

As she said this, Shen Miaowei suddenly realized that Chen Lie seemed to be ranked ninth on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking.

Given how much importance the Blue Star government places on Divine Sense Master, logically speaking, if Chen Lie passes the assessment for Administrator Candidate, he could also become one of the Administrator Candidate, and thus cannot be categorized with them.

So she quickly changed her tune, saying, "Of course, Mr. Chen Lie is not included. Once you enter Blue Star University, you will surely catch up and not be inferior to this Administrator Candidate."

Chen Lie nodded without saying anything.

Before long, the many Special Enrollment Student were driven to both sides of the Drill Ground, leaving an empty road in the Drill Ground.

The stunningly beautiful woman and the handsome young man, both dressed in ancient attire Spirit Beast Carriage.

The handsome young man gestured for them to proceed. "The Star Boat is ready, Princess Lingyan, please!"

The young woman with her hair tied up in a high bun said calmly, "You're too kind, Jing Xi. Huo. I'd like to thank you for accompanying me on this trip to Blue Star."

I observe that Blue Star is not like Red Flame Planet; the title of "Princess" should not be mentioned again.

We both attend Starry Sky University, and since Red Flame Planet and Blue Star are adjacent, we'll have many more encounters in the future. Just call me "Jing Xi," that's all.

The handsome young man nodded and said, "In that case, Jing Xi, please just call me by my real name, Huo Jinghong."

The stunningly beautiful girl nodded slightly and walked towards the Star Boat together with the handsome young man.

Chen Lie was standing on either side of the Drill Ground when he suddenly heard Tang Jiu'er speaking behind him.

"Zhixun, that girl from Outer Stars, seems to be Princess Lingyan, Zhu Jingxi, from the neighboring Red Flame Planet Blue Star."

Luo Zhixun asked, "What Princess Lingyan?"

Tang Jiu'er said, "I heard it from my sister. The system on Red Flame Planet is similar to that of our Blue Star hundreds of years ago. It's a feudal dynasty with a strict social hierarchy, I think it was called the Great Flame Dynasty."

This Princess Lingyan, whose real name is Zhu Jingxi, is the legitimate daughter of the Emperor and Empress of the Great Yan Dynasty.

It is said that Princess Lingyan possessed exceptional martial arts talent. At the age of fifteen, she reached the Ultimate Realm the Blood-Qi Stage, and was subsequently bestowed a title by the Emperor of Great Yan. She was a martial arts genius on the list of the top 100 geniuses in the Blood-Qi Stage at the Canglan Star Domain Starry Sky University.

"The Blood-Qi Extreme Realm at fifteen?"

Luo Zhixun exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing!"

Even the sons of powerful families from the top ten provinces of Blue Star Blue Star, if Martial Arts Student has Blood Qi Value of several hundred calories by the age of fifteen, they are considered a super martial arts genius.

"Surprised? The overall martial arts level of Red Flame Planet is a level higher than that of our Blue Star."

Just like how our Blue Star doesn't have any Tenth-Stage Martial Artist, but Red Flame Planet does.

"This Princess Lingyan, Zhu Jingxi's martial arts talent is top-notch even on Red Flame Planet; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to squeeze into the top 100 geniuses in the Blood-Qi Stage at Starry Sky University," Tang Jiu'er said.

"So how do our Blue Star geniuses compare to this princess of Red Flame Planet?" Luo Zhixun asked.

"They're definitely a bit lacking. Take this Administrator Candidate, for example. I think his name is Huo Jinghong, but he didn't even make it into the top 100 of the Blood-Qi Stage at Starry Sky University."

Luo Zhixun looked at Tang Jiu'er and said, "You know quite a lot; you even know the Administrator Candidate of Blue Star."

"My sister told me all of this. She's also a student at Starry Sky University. When she comes home, she always tells me about people and things at Starry Sky University, and that's how I found out a little bit," Tang Jiu'er said.

Tang Jiu'er's words were heard by many people around. Liu Wanwan from the East River Provincial Genius Group asked, "Tang, do you know what kind of ability this Administrator Candidate has? How old is he?"

"His strength is unclear, but someone who can become Administrator Candidate must be a leading figure among the younger generation of martial arts on Blue Star. It's not surprising that his Strength Value eight times that of others and his Blood Qi Value 7 or 8 kilocalories. As for his age, he should be only a few months older than us, around our age."

As soon as Tang Jiu'er spoke, the people around her were in an uproar.

Eight times the Strength Value, seven or eight thousand Blood Qi Value?

Martial Artist the Blue Star Blood-Qi Realm has actually reached this level? Compared to Martial Arts Student on Earth, they are worlds apart. No wonder he can become Administrator Candidate.

Wow, that's amazing!

Liu Wanwan looked at the handsome young man in the middle, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

In her eyes, the handsome young man seemed to radiate divine light; compared to him, their East River Province...

Even the so-called martial arts geniuses of the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong and the Chuanshan Eight Provinces are like ordinary mortals.

Princess Lingyan Zhu Jingxi of the Great Flame Dynasty Red Flame Planet and Huo Jinghong, Administrator Candidate of Blue Star, boarded the empty Star Boat together.

"I just rode in the Spirit Beast Carriage and looked around Kunlun Ruins. I found that the beast infestation on Blue Star is indeed serious. I hope that Jing Hong can help me persuade the important figures on Blue Star to form an alliance with our Red Flame Planet. We are willing to invite the Heavenly Human Grandmaster of Red Flame Planet to Blue Star to investigate the beast infestation. In the future, we are also willing to work with Blue Star to punish Wood Source Planet." Zhu Jingxi said with her red lips slightly parted.

Huo Jinghong nodded and said, "Since the alliance between the two stars is beneficial to both sides, I will certainly agree."

"Thank you very much."

After Zhu Jingxi finished speaking, she added, "A month ago, the Top 100 Ranking Mental Power geniuses in the Canglan Star Domain seemed to have changed."

A Mental Power from Blue Star has climbed to 92nd place on the Top 100 Ranking Mental Power prodigies. It is said that this Mental Power prodigy is only 15 years old.

Jing Xi has also achieved some success in the field of divine sense, but compared to Blue Star, who reached the top 100 of the Canglan Star Domain's list of geniuses in Mental Power at the age of 15, she can only feel ashamed of herself.

"I wonder if you could introduce me to this genius boy from Blue Star? I'd like to have a face-to-face exchange with this 15-year-old prodigy of divine sense."

Huo Jinghong said, "I'm not very familiar with this suddenly appearing genius of Mental Power, who is second only to the others on Blue Star. But since we're both from Blue Star, I don't think he'll refuse to give me face. I'll ask him when I get back to Lanjing."

Zhu Jingxi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your help."

Then, she turned and glanced at the Spirit Beast Carriage outside, where two Vermilion Bird pulling the carriage were singing to the sky.

With a thought, she wanted to summon the two Vermilion Bird, but suddenly a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Could it be that the Vermilion Bird was affected by the malevolent energy of the high-level Exotic Beast within Kunlun Ruins, thus impairing its intelligence?"

I recited the Beast Taming Mental Method, but the Vermilion Bird remained unmoved.

Huo Jinghong asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Jingxi said, "It's nothing."

She tried again to summon the Exotic Beast using her Mental Power, but this time, she used a more stringent method of beast control, using her Mental Power to stimulate the Vermilion Bird's intelligence.

Two Vermilion Bird let out a shrill scream, their eyes bloodshot, and with tremendous force broke free from the ropes on the cart, spreading their wings and viciously attacking people.

The Vermilion Bird spread its wings, which were eight or nine meters long. With a single flap, it sent more than ten Special Enrollment Student flying more than ten meters.

In an instant, the two Vermilion Bird injured dozens of people.

At this moment, a Vermilion Bird suddenly fluttered over to the group of students admitted through the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province East River Province. With a cry, it took flight three or four meters, its sharp claws reaching out to grab the Special Enrollment Student.

"Careful!"

Suddenly, someone shouted among the Special Enrollment Student from East River Province, but the surrounding crowd was so dense that there was no way to avoid it.

In the blink of an eye, Vermilion Bird had caught four or five Special Enrollment Student from East River Province in his palm.

Chen Lie turned around and saw that Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and several other trainees from the Genius Training Camp had been caught in the claws of the Vermilion Bird.

"You beast, you're asking for death!"

Chen Lie leaped into the air, his powerful qi and blood bursting out of his body, and threw a heavy punch.

"Boom!"

A punch with nearly 20,000 jin of force landed on the Vermilion Bird's vulnerable neck.

The Vermilion Bird cried out in pain, and the person it was holding in its claws was thrown heavily to the ground with a thud.

At this moment, Ji Lingxuan, Shen Miaowei, Luo Zhixun, Wang Dongting and others who were not far away came up to help Chen Lie subdue the Vermilion Bird.

Before long, the Vermilion Bird was attacked dozens of times by several people. It flapped its wings and instantly flew dozens of meters off the ground, trying to escape.

"Trying to run?"

Chen Lie launched a Mental Power Impact on the Vermilion Bird's consciousness.

The Vermilion Bird instantly fainted and fell from a height of tens of meters, crashing to the ground with a thud.

Seeing Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and the other three Genius Training Camp students fall to the ground, Chen Lie immediately surrounded them.

Wei Ranran was quick-witted and agile. Knowing that Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan were both relatives and friends of Chen Lie, she immediately went forward to investigate them.

"Chen Lie, they were scratched by that strange bird, their ribs were broken in several places, and they were thrown down with great force, which caused some impact to their internal organs. Their injuries are not light, but they are not too serious."

He should recover to normal after a week of rest.

After Wei Ranran finished her examination, she immediately looked up at Chen Liedao...

Chen Lie frowned and said, "Kill that beast!"

His words stunned everyone.

Killing a spirit beast that's a VIP from Outer Stars seems inappropriate, doesn't it?

Especially since the other party is a nobleman from the Red Flame Planet.

At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang endured the pain and stood up, and was helped by Wei Ranran to walk in front of Chen Lie.

"No need for that. I'm actually fine, just a few broken ribs. What's that to a martial artist?"

Lu Qingchan also stood up despite the pain and said, "Yes, it's not good to offend people like this, but we'll be fine."

Seeing that Lu Qingchan was having difficulty moving, Luo Zhixun, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward to help her.

Several members of the Genius Group nearby also came to persuade Chen Lie.

Chen Lie glanced at the Vermilion Bird lying on the ground, but remained silent.

Meanwhile, another Vermilion Bird was subdued by Special Enrollment Student from several of the top twenty provinces on Blue Star.

The Vermilion Bird was only Tier 2 Exotic Beast, so subduing it wouldn't be difficult. The reason why the Special Enrollment Student from the top twenty provinces of Blue Star were slower than Chen Lie was because the other party had shown mercy, allowing the Vermilion Bird to be subdued without any injury.

On the Star Boat, Zhu Jingxi was at a loss for what to do.

After a while, she said, "I'm sorry, Huo. It's possible that when we were watching Kunlun Ruins, the two Vermilion Bird were affected by the baleful aura emanating from the high-level Exotic Beast, which caused them to suddenly go berserk."

Someone must have been injured. I can pay compensation.

Huo Jinghong shook his head directly. "No one was killed, it's a minor matter, no need for compensation."

Huo Jinghong and Zhu Jingxi stepped off the airship again and came to the side of the first subdued Vermilion Bird.

"Which province are you from, and why are you Special Enrollment Student?"

The student admitted through Special Enrollment Student answered, "We are from Longgan Province."

Zhu Jingxi stepped forward lightly and said, "I'm so sorry, the spirit beast went out of control for a moment. Did it hurt anyone?"

"It's nothing serious, just two Special Enrollment Student suffered minor injuries."

Huo Jinghong hummed in agreement and said, "I'm taking the Vermilion Bird with me."

He then summoned men to relock the Vermilion Bird and escort it onto the Star Boat.

Next, he went to the East River Province Special Enrollment Student Center and saw Vermilion Bird lying motionless on the ground, which made him frown.

"Which province are you from, and why are you Special Enrollment Student?"

"We are Special Enrollment Student from East River Province." Liu Wanwan answered first from the crowd.

"What's wrong with this Vermilion Bird? Why is it lying on the ground, not moving at all?"

"That strange bird was berserk and attacked people earlier; it was probably injured by our captain and his men," Liu Wanwan said.

At this point, the accompanying people took a look.

He quickly reported, "Vermilion Bird is alright, she may have been slightly injured and has fainted."

Huo Jinghong instructed, "Bring the Vermilion Bird onto the Star Boat."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the accompanying personnel immediately mobilized to send the Vermilion Bird onto the Star Boat.

Just as Huo Jinghong was about to turn and leave, Chen Lie suddenly said, "Wait!"

"They injured someone and didn't even offer an explanation, just walked away like that?"

Huo Jinghong turned around, looked at Chen Lie, his expression slightly serious, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Chen Lie, leader of the East River Military Training Group."

Chen Lie said without changing his expression.

Huo Jinghong wasn't surprised that he had heard of East River Province, one of the worst-performing provinces on Blue Star.

In his view, people from small places have no idea what kind of existence they are facing.

So he casually said, "Since someone is injured, go to the army's medical station for treatment. Do you expect to get something from me?"

"Nonsense, this beast injured someone. Do you think I'd let you take it away so easily without leaving some compensation?" Chen Lie retorted.

"Um?"

How dare someone from a remote, small province talk back to me like that? Doesn't he respect my dignity?

Even if people from small towns are arrogant and ignorant, Han has offended them so much that they must teach him a lesson.

Huo Jinghong unleashed his Extreme Realm Pressure without any expression.
