Admiring the Strong and Resenting Them

Tang Guanlin glanced at Chen Lie and stepped forward.

He thought to himself, "So I'm not the only one who was admitted to the first Special Enrollment Student by Xiangguang Province."

If someone from a small place manages to get into the Special Enrollment Student pool for Hunan and Guangdong provinces, they must have some connections.

"Chi, since this student arrived before me, let me go to another Dormitory Building."

I've been to Blue Star University before, so I'm quite familiar with the place."

Chi Naixue glanced at Chen Lie, thinking about the three Chuanzhong Province. Last year, only about a thousand people from those three provinces received special admission notices from Blue Star University.

For someone from Chuanzhong Province to be admitted to Blue Star University, it's no exaggeration to say that their destiny has been changed.

Here, this guy named Chen Lie, since he came to the Special Enrollment Student team of Xiangguang Province, although he has been well-behaved, he has not done anything out of line or caused any trouble. The only thing he did was to falsify his martial arts scores when filling out the information form.

I really couldn't just target him so obviously based on my personal preferences.

Since Tang Guanlin had already brought it up, Chi Naixue said, "In that case—"

"Etc!"

At this moment, a girl next to Tang Guanlin, who was at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, spoke up, "Huang Yuande, what is your relationship with this Chen Lie? Why are you speaking up for him?"

"Chen Lie is someone my uncle brought here. He's new here and is being targeted. Can I just stand by and watch without saying a word for him?" Huang Yuande said.

The girl scoffed and said, "You ask why Chi made this decision? I can answer that for you. Martial arts practitioners, how can seniority be the deciding factor? Naturally, it's based on strength. Those with good martial arts achievements should rightfully receive preferential treatment."

If things really go as you say, you've been in the Genius Training Camp longer than anyone else here, so why didn't the instructors let you be the Special Enrollment Student representative?"

"That's right, it's not easy for people from small towns to get into Blue Star University. Among all of us here, whose experience was it easy? Each of us has practiced martial arts for up to 10 hours a day to reach our current level."

As soon as the girl said this, several other girls around her echoed her sentiments and supported her statement.

In the Martial Era, everyone admires strength, and girls' admiration for strength is even stronger than boys'.

Although boys admire strength, they are also jealous of it. Not to mention that Tang Guanlin got so close to Chi Naixue as soon as he arrived, chatting and laughing together, which further fueled the jealousy of the boys in the Genius Training Camp who had feelings for Chi Naixue towards Tang Guanlin.

This led to the Special Enrollment Student students splitting into two camps: the boys supported Chen Lie, and the girls supported Tang Guanlin.

The boy stood up for Chen Lie purely because he was unhappy with Tang Guanlin.

The girls supported Tang Guanlin Tang Guanlin was a member of the Sudong Province Genius Group Chaoqun outstanding martial arts skills, and they wanted to befriend Tang Guanlin.

Huang Yuande couldn't help but ask, "Gao Yaqing, what do you mean?"

"It's pointless. Since we're both stuck in our own opinions and can't reach an agreement, I see there's a Duel Platform over there. Let's go up there and have a match, and whoever wins gets to decide," Gao Yaqing said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuande's face turned pale. His Blood Qi Value was less than two thousand calories; how could he possibly be a match for someone at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm?

At this moment, Huang Yuande's friend stepped forward and said, "Forget it, Lao Huang, it's just one less empty room."

Why don't you just squeeze in with Chen Lie? What's wrong with two grown men sharing a room?

Huang Yuande would definitely not go to the Duel Platform with a Genius Training Camp student who Blood-Qi Extreme Realm; wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

So he said, "Chen Lie, don't go to any other Dormitory Building. How about we squeeze into one room?"

"Anything is fine with me," Chen Lie said.

He had no interest in getting involved in the trivial matters among the Special Enrollment Student from Xiangguang Province, and whether or not he was allowed to go to another Dormitory Building made no difference to him.

However, Huang Yuande is quite interesting. They met by chance, but just because his uncle brought him there, Huang Yuande was willing to stand up for him and confront the top student in the Genius Training Camp.

When Chen Lie was ranked first in the East River Province Genius Training Camp, who dared to object once he made his statement?

Of course, the competitive environment in the top provinces of Blue Star martial arts is definitely not as harsh as that in East River Province. Therefore, the prestige of the top student in the Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp is incomparable to that of the top student in the Genius Training Camp in a remote province.

Impoverished provinces lack resources and cannot support so many people, so they can only have fierce competition among the trainees. Those who can stand out from the fierce competition demonstrate strong competitiveness. Martial arts powerhouses do not lack these resources, so there is no need to adopt a strict competition mechanism. This also leads to the fact that the Martial Leader of martial arts powerhouses are far less prestigious than those of Martial Leader of impoverished provinces, and the same is true in the Genius Training Camp.

Nevertheless, Huang Yuande's achievement to this extent is truly remarkable.

Chi Naixue said softly, "Since that's the case, then let's settle it!"

Chen Lie, you can share a room with Huang Yuande for now!

Chen Lie nodded.

After Chi Naixue and Wang Chuanfeng, the mentor from the admissions office, finished replying, Wang Chuanfeng sent two staff members to lead the members of the Xiangguang Province's Genius Group to the adjacent Dormitory Building.

"Damn it, that woman Gao Yaqing is deliberately trying to make trouble for me, Huang."

Walking among the group of Special Enrollment Student, Huang Yuande couldn't help but say.

"Keep your voice down, Lao Huang. If Gao Yaqing hears you, I can't protect you. I heard Gao Yaqing is already at the Tendon Refining Period. With your strength, you wouldn't last a single move against her," said the Special Enrollment Student next to him.

"Damn, I never noticed before, how come there are so many infatuated girls in our Hunan-Guangxi training camp? Just now, more than a dozen girls actually spoke up for that show-off Tang Guanlin," Huang Yuande said indignantly.

"That's normal. Tang Guanlin is a member of the Sudong Province Genius Group. Chaoqun martial arts skills and is also good-looking. If I were a girl, I would also be willing to speak up for him."

"How superficial! They're all a bunch of short-sighted women. Now that I see it, even the goddess Chi Naixue seems to be no exception. This Xiangguang Province really disheartens me!" Huang Yuande shook his head and sighed.

Led by staff, the Special Enrollment Student from Xiangguang Province arrived at Building 12 next to the admissions office.

It took nearly an hour for the admissions office staff to assign Dormitory to more than 300 Special Enrollment Student students.

Before leaving, the staff member reminded them, "Students, you can take this opportunity to familiarize yourselves with the environment of Blue Star University. The admissions office advisors will arrange your enrollment matters early tomorrow morning."

Please be at the admissions office by 8:00 AM tomorrow.

After saying that, the two staff members left.

"Let's go! Chen Lie, let's go check out our Dormitory!"

As soon as the admissions office staff left, Huang Yuande immediately went to check on the Dormitory rooms.

He and Chen Lie arrived at the Dormitory door where the admissions staff had just been assigned.

Upon closer inspection, the Dormitory was found to be about forty square meters in size, with all the necessary facilities in place.

After taking a look inside the Dormitory, Huang Yuande said, "This Dormitory can't compare to the Dormitory at the Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp, but it's passable."

There's a bed and a sofa; the sofa is flat and large enough to be used as a bed!

After saying that, he looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, you can choose between the bed and the sofa!"

"Then I'll take the sofa!"

Chen Lie said that he cultivated the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter> and would sit cross-legged on the sofa for an entire night, just like he did on the bed.

"Okay! It's settled then." Huang Yuande nodded.

At this moment, the Special Enrollment Student who had been talking to Huang Yuande on the Star Boat walked in.

"Old Huang, you've checked out the Dormitory, wanna go for a walk?"

Huang Yuande said, "Then let's go out and take a look. I've never been to Blue Star University before."

"Chen Lie, this is my friend, Chen Huafeng. He and I graduated from the Second Key Martial Arts High School in Xiangguang Province together."

However, his martial arts are slightly stronger than mine; he's currently at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, with Blood Qi Value of around 2800 calories.

Chen Lie nodded.

Chen Huafeng looked at Chen Liedao, "Huang Yuande, does he really have a relationship with your uncle?"

"That's for sure. Chen Lie is from a Chuanzhong Province. For my uncle to go to such lengths to arrange for him to be admitted as Special Enrollment Student in Xiangguang Province, the connections must be incredibly strong," Huang Yuande said.

Chen Huafeng nodded and looked at Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, which province in Chuanzhong are you from?"

East River Province!

"East River Province? That seems to be one of the bottom twenty provinces on Blue Star. By the way, what's your martial arts level?"

Chen Lie glanced at Chen Huafeng and said, "He's a bit stronger than you."

"Better than me?"

Chen Huafeng was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "If your martial arts are stronger than mine, then you would definitely be one of the top members of the East River Provincial Genius Group, and you would have been directly admitted to the first batch of Genius Class at Blue Star University. Why would you need to squeeze into our Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp?"

Huang Yuande said, "Why are you asking so many questions?"

We're all friends, what's wrong with bragging a little when we're talking?

"Blown?"

Chen Huafeng looked at Chen Lie, somewhat puzzled.

"Alright, let's go out!"

Huang Yuande didn't bother to explain and simply walked out of the Dormitory.

This was Chen Lie's first time visiting Blue Star University, the most prestigious martial arts training institution on the planet. There were even hundreds of thousands of troops stationed outside the campus, and a small number of soldiers patrolling the campus day and night.

Blue Star University is the cradle of martial arts geniuses on Blue Star, and the Blue Star University Blue Star government attaches great importance to its safety.

After driving around the Blue Star University, Huang Yuande remarked, "There are so many people at Blue Star University! I wonder which class we'll be assigned to."

"We were Special Enrollment Student, so we should have been assigned to a good class," Chen Huafeng said.

As Chen Lie looked around the Blue Star University, his Communicator suddenly Green Bubble.

Upon opening it, Chen Lie discovered it was sent by Luo Zhixun.

Luo Zhixun: "Chen Lie, President Xu said you came to Blue Star University to register today. We, the members of the East River Province Genius Group, would like to come and see you. Is that convenient for you?"

Chen Lie replied, "I haven't settled down yet. I've only been assigned temporary accommodation. Let's talk about it in a few days."

Luo Zhixun: "Okay, we're all in the Genius Class at the First Campus. If you need any help, feel free to contact me."

Chen Lie: "Okay!"

Huang Yuande saw Chen Lie sending a message using Communicator and asked, "Chen Lie, who are you sending a message to?"

"A friend," Chen Lie said.

"Friend? Male or female? It's not your boyfriend, is it?" Huang Yuande asked.

"No, I don't have a boyfriend," Chen Lie shook his head and said.

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yuande immediately lost interest and muttered to himself, "Sigh, I wonder if I can find a girl who can move my heart within three months."

Chen Huafeng, standing nearby, said, "You still have this idea? But why within three months?"

"You just don't understand, do you?"

Huang Yuande glanced at Chen Huafeng and Chen Lie and explained, "Then I'll analyze it for you."

I have very high standards, and I also have high requirements for my future girlfriend.

Therefore, my requirements for my girlfriend's looks and talent are that even if she's not as good-looking as Chi Naixue, the goddess from our Genius Training Camp, she can't be too far behind.

However, the Heavenly Pride Daughter Blue Star definitely look down on me, so I can only set my sights on girls with outstanding qualities and looks from some remote provinces.

Let me tell you, don't underestimate girls from remote and impoverished provinces. The reason their martial arts skills aren't great is because they're limited by their location. Impoverished provinces also lack resources, so their martial arts skills can't compare to those of Blue Star top-ranked provinces on Earth. But their martial arts aptitude isn't necessarily weaker than ours.

Now that I'm at Blue Star University, I shouldn't have to worry about my aptitude anymore. My martial arts skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds, and it's not impossible for me to surpass others."

"Then why three months?" Chen Huafeng asked.

Huang Yuande glanced at Chen Huafeng, his face full of disdain, and said, "Are you stupid? Wasn't what I just said obvious?"

Girls from impoverished provinces only have mediocre martial arts skills because of limited resources. Now that they're at Blue Star University, they don't have to worry about resources. If I can't win them over within three months, after three months, when their strength catches up with or even surpasses mine, I might still have a chance to succeed."

"That makes sense. Well then, keep up the good work!" Chen Huafeng said.

"Chen Lie, are there any girls like this in East River Province? Do you know any? Could you introduce me to some?"

Chen Lie shook his head and said, "I don't know him!"

That's such a pity.

Huang Yuande shook his head.

After taking a stroll around the Blue Star University campus, it was nearly evening.

Chen Lie, Huang Yuande, and Chen Huafeng returned to Dormitory Building No. 12 next to the admissions office.

Upon arriving at the Dormitory, Huang Yuande lay down directly on the bed, while Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the sofa, cultivating the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>.

Seeing Chen Lie sitting cross-legged on the bed, not resting, Huang Yuande asked, "Chen Lie, what level have you reached in martial arts?"

Chen Lie, with his eyes closed, said, "Organ Refining Stage."

"The Organ Refining Stage? You mean the fifth step in the six steps of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm Six Steps of Body Refining, the Organ Refining Stage?" Huang Yuande asked.

"Um!"

"Impossible. If you were at the Organ Refining Stage, you'd already be in the top ten among the geniuses in our Hunan-Guangdong Provincial Genius Group. Would you need to pull strings to get into one of our Genius Training Camp?"

Besides, how could Organ Refining Stage at the Blue Star stage possibly emerge from Chuanzhong, one of the poorest provinces on Earth?

Seeing that Chen Lie did not reply for a long time, Huang Yuande waved his hand and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I'm going to sleep!"
