In a Class of Its Own

"Yes, we're all from the same province." Chen Lie nodded.

" In the Chuanzhong?"

Huang Yuande looked at Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er.

Luo Zhixun asked, "Chen Lie, is this your classmate from the 15th Key Class?"

"Yes, I came with the Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp," Chen Lie said.

"Oh."

Luo Zhixun nodded slightly and leaned down to whisper something in Tang Jiu'er's ear.

After saying "Okay," Tang Jiu'er left her seat.

A short while later, Tang Jiu'er returned to her seat carrying four bottles of Star Dollar Liquid.

After sitting down again, Tang Jiu'er handed two bottles of Star Dollar Liquid to Luo Zhixun, Luo Zhixun handed one bottle to Chen Lie, and Tang Jiu'er placed one bottle in front of Huang Yuande.

"Holy crap, Star Dollar Liquid costs 100 Credit a bottle?"

Isn't this something only Genius Class students are eligible to buy?

Huang Yuande was stunned when he saw the Star Dollar Liquid.

Four bottles of Star Dollar Liquid are worth four hundred Credit. Even if he had the right to buy them, he couldn't afford them. That's equivalent to not even having half of his Credit.

Luo Zhixun nodded and said, "Yes!"

Huang Yuande's mind raced. So, these two strikingly beautiful girls were actually students in the Genius Class?

In Chuanzhong Province, that would mean being a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.

Luo Zhixun then Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, this Star Dollar Liquid is a rare resource imported from Outer Stars. It's very helpful for Strength Value, but it has little effect on people with Blood Qi Value more than six times higher. Why don't you give it a try?"

Chen Lie grunted in agreement, unscrewed the cap of the Star Dollar Liquid, and drank it all in one gulp.

Since Star Dollar doesn't have much effect on someone with six times the Strength Value, it's even less likely to have Twelvefold Strength Value.

The moment the Star Dollar Liquid entered his stomach, Chen Lie did indeed feel a warm energy dissipate before disappearing.

"How did it go?" Luo Zhixun asked.

Chen Lie shook his head. "It didn't work."

"That's probably because your Strength Value is too high. Star Dollar Liquid really has miraculous effects on people with Strength Value below six times the normal level," Luo Zhixun said. Tang Jiu'er said, "Zhixun asked for you. In half a month, Blue Star University will hold a small-scale Class Promotion Assessment. You can be promoted to the Genius Class in this Class Promotion Assessment."

"I understand, thank you for your help." Chen Lie nodded.

Huang Yuande was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Wait... advancing to the Genius Class in half a month? The assessment standards for the Genius Class are very high, right? Are you sure Chen Lie can pass the Class Promotion Assessment?"

"What's so difficult about that?" Tang Jiu'er retorted.

"The Class Promotion Assessment is definitely not difficult for students in the Genius Class, but it's extremely difficult for us students in the Key Class."

"If you can't make it into the Provincial Genius Group and become Genius Class student before receiving the Special Enrollment Letter from Blue Star University, it will be extremely difficult to advance to the Genius Class through the Class Promotion Assessment after you enter the university," Huang Yuande said.

"That's just an ordinary top student. Chen Lie is the East River Province Martial Leader. His strength is also among the top level of Genius Group in the top ten provinces of Blue Star. How could a mere promotion test be difficult for him?" Tang Jiu'er said.

"Martial Leader? Chen Lie is the Martial Leader?"

Huang Yuande was immediately startled, looking at Chen Lie with disbelief.

Martial Leader in a province is no small feat; someone who stands out among tens of millions of peers is no ordinary person.

He originally thought Chen Lie was just a Genius Training Camp with connections, which explained why Chen Lie was included in the Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp camp. But he never expected that Chen Lie was actually the Martial Leader in the province.

No matter how barren and remote the Chuanzhong Province may be, the Martial Leader in a province must at least possess the strength of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm.

"Chen Lie, since you are the Martial Leader, you can directly enter the Genius Class based on your status as a member of the East River Provincial Genius Group. Why would you need to pull strings to come to our Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp?" Huang Yuande couldn't help but ask.

"Jiu'er!" Seeing this, Luo Zhixun knew that Chen Lie hadn't revealed his background, but Tang Jiu'er had blurted it out. So she looked at Tang Jiu'er reproachfully and said, "Chen Lie didn't say anything, but you said it all. You talk too much!"

Tang Jiu'er pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "I've already said it, what's the point of hiding it?"

Luo Zhixun could only shake her head.

Chen Liedao, "There's really no point in hiding it. The Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters ordered that I be removed from the first batch of students admitted to the school through the Genius Group, which is why I was placed in Xiangguang Province."

Huang Yuande then asked, "Ordered by the Blue Star Martial Artist Association Blue Star Martial Artist Association? What did you do that warrants their attention?"

Luo Zhixun spoke up, "This is a matter that shouldn't be publicized, so please don't ask any further questions."

Please do not publicize Chen Lie's matter.

"I understand, I understand!"

Huang Yuande nodded repeatedly.

When Luo Zhixun saw Huang Yuande nod, she talked to Chen Lie about her experience of entering the Genius Class Genius Class and asked about Chen Lie's situation after going to Xiangguang Province.

The meal passed quickly. After Chen Liedao, Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er got up and left the restaurant.

Chen Lie and Huang Yuande then went to the Sumeru Illusion Realm Palace.

Walking along the road, Huang Yuande couldn't help but say, "Chen Lie, I never expected you to be the Martial Leader of Chuanzhong Province."

I've heard that people from impoverished provinces are very competitive at both Blue Star University and Starry Sky University.

Some people are unknown in impoverished provinces, but they can soar to great heights after entering Blue Star University, simply because they are limited by martial arts resources.

If you ever take off in the future, remember to look after me, your brother!

"You want to get into the Genius Class?" Chen Lie asked.

"With my abilities, how could I possibly have such thoughts? I'm already satisfied with being assigned to this Key Class." Huang Yuande shook his head. Soon after, he added, "Speaking of which, Chen Lie, the quality of girls in your Chuanzhong Province is truly high. Those two girls just now, one was heroic and spirited, and the other was elegant and refined. They were no less impressive than Chi Naixue from our Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp."

I wonder how strong she is. If she's also at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, then Heavenly Pride Daughter.

The Blood-Qi Extreme Realm in impoverished provinces is far more valuable than that in major martial arts provinces!

Chen Lie nodded and said, "It's the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm."

"Wow, really?" Huang Yuande exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't your Chuanzhong Province supposed to be quite barren? How come there are so many Blood-Qi Extreme Realm? You're the Martial Leader, your relationship with a girl like this, who's top-notch in both looks and talent, must be quite something, right?"

I know that many Martial Leader from various provinces spend their free time flirting with the most beautiful girls in their province. It's like an emperor choosing his concubines. I'm so envious!

But what's the use of envy? I don't have the Martial Leader.

"Who told you all this?" Chen Lie glanced at Huang Yuande.

"I heard it from some friends at the Xiangguang Province Genius Training Camp. You were like this before in East River Province, weren't you?"

No wonder I wasn't impressed at all when I saw you looking at Chi Naixue.

"You usually flirt with girls like that, so you must be immune to beautiful women," Huang Yuande said.

"Don't talk nonsense. The Martial Leader Martial Leader isn't born that way; he's chosen through fierce competition."

"If what you say is true, Martial Leader doesn't practice martial arts but instead flirts with girls, then he won't be the Martial Leader for long before someone replaces him," Chen Liedao.

"So that's how it is. I thought Martial Leader could do whatever he wanted. After all, we had a top student in our Genius Training Camp before who flirted with girls without any restraint," Huang Yuande said.

Chen Lie and Huang Yuande walked all the way to the outside of the Sumeru Illusion Realm Palace Sumeru Illusion Realm Palace and waited there.

The Sumeru Illusion Realm, which Chen Lie had encountered in his previous life, is a boundless world of consciousness parallel to the real world.

He never expected that Blue Star would also have a passage to the Sumeru Illusion Realm.

Chen Lie and Huang Yuande waited for about half an hour before the students from the 15th Key Class finally arrived at the Sumeru Illusion Realm Palace.

Soon after, Chen Huafeng arrived here with the crowd.

"Chen Huafeng, how was it? Who won the three-way sparring match?"

Huang Yuande saw Chen Huafeng and quickly asked.

Chen Huafeng said, "Mu Ningshu from Jinhai Province is even better. She defeated Liu Hengyu and Chi Naixue in the sparring match. Mu Ningshu should be the class monitor of the 15th Key Class."

"Mu Ningshu? After all, she's from one of the top ten provinces on Blue Star, so it's not surprising."

How was the battle? Was it exciting?

"That was quite spectacular. Mu Ningshu, Liu Hengyu, and Chi Naixue all possess the strength of members of the Genius Group. How could their fight not be exciting?" Chen Huafeng began to describe the scene of the battle to Huang Yuande.

Before long, almost all the students in 15th Key Class had arrived.

Chi Naixue and Liu Hengyu both walked into the students with cold faces, while Mu Ningshu arrived last, taking small steps and smiling brightly. At this moment, Mu Ningshu held a set of student files, looked at the photos on the files, and came to Chen Lie, asking questions softly.

"You must be Chen Lie, right? Let me introduce myself. My Mu Ningshu, and I'm probably the class monitor of the 15th Key Class." "Oh, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Liedao.

"It's fine!"

Mu Ningshu smiled gently and said, "My mentor just gave me a file of all the students in the class. I glanced at it and found that there are actually four people with Perfect Bone Quality in our class."

There were me, Liu Hengyu, Tang Guanlin, and Chen Lie.

Among the four of us with Perfect Bone Quality, Blue Star University gave us potential scores of 803 for Liu Hengyu, 821 for Tang Guanlin, 815 for myself, and a unique 925 for you. I remember that Wang Tian'en, the Martial Leader in our Jinhai Province, only had a potential score of 964, which is not much higher than yours. To get Blue Star University to give you such a high potential assessment score, you must have something extraordinary about you.

I'm really curious, so I came here specifically to get to know you, classmate.

Gao Yaqing, who was not far away, suddenly chuckled.

Mu Ningshu assumed Gao Yaqing was targeting her, and her icy gaze swept over her instantly. Her voice was devoid of any emotion as she said, "Are you making fun of me, classmate?"

Gao Yaqing's smile faltered for a moment, and she explained, "Student Mu, you misunderstood. Your question about why this Student Chen is so outstanding, comparable to the Martial Leader of one of the top ten provinces on Blue Star, is something I can answer for you."

"Oh? Then tell me!" Mu Ningshu said.

"This student, Chen, has been found to have an exceptionally rare medium-level martial Blue Star University Medium Bone Quality in the martial arts aptitude test, something that has been witnessed by more than 300 Special Enrollment Student from Xiangguang Province."

The reason he received a potential score almost equal to that of the Martial Leader of Jinhai Province is because of his powerful background within Blue Star University. Medium Bone Quality can be turned upside down and transformed into someone with Perfect Bone Quality, what does this potential score amount to?

Mu Ningshu glanced at Gao Yaqing, then looked at Chen Lie.

"A student with Medium Bone Quality is one in ten thousand at Blue Star University. How could Chen have Medium Bone Quality?"

Mu Ningshu's eyes were filled with disbelief.

Who has such a powerful background at Blue Star University to publicly distort the truth?

There's really no need to change the files.

She checked Chen Lie's hometown; he was from Chuanzhong Province. Chuanzhong Province has a population of nearly 300 million, but Blue Star University only admits a little over a thousand students each year. Under such fierce competition, the probability of someone with Medium Bone Quality being specially recruited by Blue Star University is extremely low.

"That's right, I have Medium Bone Quality." Chen Lie nodded in acknowledgment.

Mu Ningshu was surprised.

Is it really possible for someone to have such connections at Blue Star University?

How could someone change Medium Bone Quality into Perfect Bone Quality?

At this moment, Pang Xiuming, the tutor of the 15th Key Class, arrived.

"Classmates, everyone gather around, I have something to announce."

As soon as Pang Xiuming arrived, he called out to the students.

As soon as he said that, the students gathered together.

Pang Xiuming glanced at the students and said, "Classmates, I hereby announce that Mu Ningshu will serve as the class monitor of our 15th Elite Class from now on."

Mu Ningshu then stepped forward and waved to the students who had indifferent expressions.

"To facilitate effective communication among all students, Liu Hengyu and Chi Naixue will both serve as vice class monitors, assisting Mu Ningshu." As soon as Pang Xiuming finished speaking, a round of applause suddenly broke out among the students.

After the applause subsided, Pang Xiuming continued, "Students, this afternoon, I will take you to experience a unique grand event of Blue Star University, called the Sumeru Illusion Realm!"

"The Sumeru Illusion Realm, according to legend, was created by the top Divine Sense Master of the Central Galactic Empire. It is a mysterious and unpredictable illusory world of consciousness. Using the Sumeru Stone as a medium, we can project our consciousness into the Sumeru Illusion Realm, and that consciousness will be a one-to-one replica of your abilities in the real world, including martial arts realm, combat awareness, and many other aspects."

"The Sumeru Illusion Realm passages are spread throughout the entire Canglan Star Domain. Within the Sumeru Illusion Realm, we may encounter top martial arts geniuses from Outer Stars. Although we are separated by countless distances, we can rely on the Sumeru Illusion Realm and the existence on the other side of the starry sky to communicate with each other face-to-face about martial arts."

In short, the Sumeru Illusion Realm is no different from the real world.

One student asked, "What happens if you get injured fighting someone in the Sumeru Illusion Realm?"

"The Sumeru Illusion Realm is entered by a person's consciousness. If one is injured or even dies in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, the real body will not be affected. However, if one dies in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, one's Mental Power will be damaged, causing mental depression for at least half a month."

Although we can endure being mentally exhausted for half a month, it's still not a pleasant experience, so please try your best not to die in the Sumeru Illusion Realm.
