Bringing Chen Lie Under His Command

"Grandmaster, I haven't encountered any martial arts problems yet, but will you help with Chen Lie's matter?" Luo Zhixun asked.

At this moment, Qin Ruoxi, standing nearby, changed her expression and immediately asked, "Zhixun, is there anything you need my grandfather's help with?" Qin Zhenwei snorted coldly and said, "If it were Zhixun herself who had something to do, she wouldn't need to say it; I could help her without her even asking. It's this boy she brought!"

Qin Ruoxi was very puzzled, so she asked, "Zhixun, what's going on?"

Luo Zhixun had no choice but to tell Qin Ruoxi the whole story again.

After listening, Qin Ruoxi suddenly realized: "You mean, this Chen Lie is the number one in the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong? But he offended Huo Jinghong during military training, and Huo Jinghong held a grudge and contacted the Martial Artist Association headquarters to get rid of the preferential treatment he enjoyed Region-Level Genius?" "That's right." Luo Zhixun nodded.

"Hey, I thought it was something serious, but Huo Jinghong is really petty," Qin Ruoxi said.

"Do you know that candidate for Administrator of Blue Star with the surname Huo?" Luo Zhixun asked.

"What kind of Blue Star Administrator candidate is this? I'm not familiar with it. How many of the top ten geniuses on Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking actually take the Administrator candidate assessment? To paraphrase someone I admire, Huo Jinghong's passion for martial arts isn't pure. Even if he's currently in the top tier of Blue Star's younger generation in martial arts, he'll fall behind in the future," Qin Ruoxi said.

Who is the person you admire?

"No, no..."

Qin Ruoxi blushed and quickly waved her hand.

Qin Zhenwei said in an unfriendly tone, "It's the winner of this year's martial arts competition among the twenty-eight major cities in Lanjing Province!"

Luo Zhixun asked curiously, "The champion of the All-Member Martial Competition twenty-eight cities of Lanjing? Isn't that the Martial Leader of Lanjing Province?"

Master, why do you sound so strange? Did the other party offend you?

"That kid really did offend me. Ruoxi is truly bewitched. She only lost to him once on the Duel Platform of the All-Member Martial Competition competition in Lanjing Province. He just went easy on her, and she's already completely infatuated with him."

I don't say anything to her when she's busy practicing martial arts, but whenever she has free time, she sticks to that guy like a little shadow.

My granddaughter, Qin Zhenwei's granddaughter, has become someone else's shadow. How can I, as her grandfather, be happy about that?

Upon hearing this, Qin Ruoxi felt extremely ashamed and said, "Grandpa, if you keep talking nonsense, I will never come back!" Qin Zhenwei snorted coldly and remained silent.

Luo Zhixun said, "The Martial Leader in Lanjing Province must be exceptionally skilled. Perhaps Ruoxi wants to learn martial arts from him?"

"Yes, yes, Zhixun understands me best. I just wanted to learn martial arts!" Qin Ruoxi quickly replied.

Qin Zhenwei snorted again, making it clear that he didn't believe this explanation.

"Master, let's not talk about that anymore. Can you help Chen Lie get into the Super Genius Class?" Luo Zhixun asked again.

Qin Zhenwei frowned and Chen Liedao, "Kid, I heard you passed the Class Promotion Assessment for the Genius Class today? Let me see your Class Promotion Assessment certificate!"

Chen Lie directly handed Qin Zhenwei an assessment certificate, similar to a certificate.

Qin Zhenwei took the certificate and said, "Interfering with the Martial Artist Association's established talent cultivation mechanism is extremely troublesome."

Even if you were Region-Level Genius before, you should have been able to join the Super Genius Class directly upon enrollment. However, if you were tricked along the way and ended up in an Key Class, you automatically lost that privilege.

If you had contacted me before enrollment, I could have easily handled this; it would have been a simple matter of giving you a heads-up. But now that enrollment is complete and student files are finalized, it's not so easy anymore."

"Master, is there really no other way?" Luo Zhixun asked.

"Let's see how strong his martial arts are. If his martial arts are decent, I can argue with him on the side. But if his martial arts are too weak, then it will be difficult to handle," Qin Zhenwei said.

Qin Ruoxi chimed in, "People from Chuanzhong Province? Their martial arts skills probably aren't that strong, right?"

"How strong can someone from a Chuanzhong Province, who just entered Blue Star University, be in martial arts, even if they are the top student in several provinces?"

"Look at your Strength Value. Strength Value represents a person's potential in the Blood-Qi Stage. It reflects the purity of Qi and Blood and is linked to talent. If your Strength Value is less than 6 times the normal level, even if I wanted to speak up for you, I wouldn't be able to," Qin Zhenwei said calmly.

"Sichuan, the top province in central China, only has six times the Strength Value?"

Six times the Strength Value, which is the level of an upper-class student in the Lanjing Genius Training Camp.

"So, does this mean that a student from our Lanjing Province's Genius Training Camp has a chance to become Region-Level Genius in Chuanzhong Province?" Qin Ruoxi asked doubtfully. Qin Zhenwei glared at his granddaughter and scolded, "You've grown up in Lanjing for so long, and I never expected you to be so out of touch with reality."

Is Lanjing's six times Strength Value the same as the six times Strength Value of the Chuanzhong Province?

Blue Star's resources are limited, whether in martial arts or education. Therefore, the authorities can only concentrate the most limited resources on the top, allowing this small group of people to rival those from Outer Stars.

The three provinces of Lanjing Province, Jingji Province, and Longhai Province alone possess more than 30 percent of the world's resources, and all their educational and martial arts resources are striving to emulate those of Outer Stars.

All these factors combined have enabled your martial arts to Yaoyao those of other provinces.

The martial arts of the Blood-Qi Stage are full of mysteries. It took almost the entire Blue Star Blue Star to help less than four hundred people from your three major provinces catch up with the Outer Stars geniuses.

Do you know why the Genius Training Camp of the three provinces of Lanjing, Beijing- Jingji, and Longhai is less than 100? It's because even if Blue Star gives it its all, it can only support this many people.

It is the Blue Star Plan that first strengthens the Blood-Qi Martial Way of the younger generation in Lanjing, Jingji, and Longhai, hoping that you will one day reach the stars and fight for more resources for your home planet, so that the strong can lead the strong.

"It's not that you're much stronger than people from other provinces. Which Region-Level Genius didn't emerge from round after round of selection?" Qin Ruoxi scoffed and said, "Lanjing has nearly 500 million people, which is equivalent to the total population of seven or eight remote small provinces. The population base is large enough, and the competition is fierce. It's definitely much harder to stand out in a place like Lanjing than in remote provinces. Having such high martial arts achievements has already proven yourself."

"Even if we bring those so-called geniuses from remote provinces to Lanjing and give them the same resources, they might not achieve the same level of martial arts as we do now." "Ruoxi, the martial arts environment you've experienced is too good. Let me warn you, don't underestimate the martial arts geniuses from remote provinces. The three provinces of Lanjing, Jingji, and Longhai combined only have a population of 1.4 billion, which is only one-tenth of the total population of the entire Blue Star."

Even if the probability of geniuses in the three major provinces is ten times that of the other provinces, it can only be considered equal.

For someone from a province outside the top twenty on Blue Star to achieve six times the Strength Value is more difficult than for someone like you to achieve seven times the Strength Value. In a Blue Star impoverished region like Chuanzhong, achieving six times the Strength Value Strength Value equivalent to achieving 7.5 times or more for you."

Qin Ruoxi didn't talk much to her grandfather. As a member of the Genius Group of the number one martial arts province on Blue Star, she has always been arrogant. Not to mention Chuanzhong, which she considers a barbaric land, even if she were facing the other top ten provinces on Blue Star, she would consider herself superior to them.

Luo Zhixun seemed to remember that Chen Lie's Strength Value was slightly higher than hers, but only by a limited margin, most likely not six times higher. So she asked, "Grandmaster, what if his Strength Value isn't that high?"

Qin Zhenwei shook his head and said, "Then I'll see how things go. Your granddaughter went to all this trouble to come to me, how could I let you go empty-handed? No matter what, I'll risk my reputation to try and stand up for this kid. In short, I won't let you go empty-handed."

Luo Zhixun smiled and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Luo Zhixun turned around and gave Chen Lie a peace sign.

"Ruoxi, here's the kid's Class Promotion Assessment certificate. It has his student file code on it. Use my Optical Computer to check his martial arts distance and student file, and list out his more outstanding aspects of martial arts for me."

"All right!"

Qin Ruoxi took Chen Lie's assessment certificate from her grandfather's hand, then walked to a room in the hall and sat on her grandfather Qin Zhenwei's Optical Computer desk.

Her grandfather's Optical Computer was one of the highest-authority Optical Computer on Blue Star, second only to Blue Star's Administrator, members of the Blue Star Political Council, the president of the Martial Artist Association, and the president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association.

Qin Ruoxi activated her Optical Computer and directly input Chen Lie's student file into it.

After selecting the search option, a page of information immediately appeared. Qin Ruoxi glanced at it and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Holy crap, really?"

The first thing Qin Ruoxi saw was the freshly released results of Chen Lie's Class Promotion Assessment from the Genius Class.

Chen Lie: Male

Bone age: 18

Citizen ID:...

Place of origin: Changdong City, East River Province

Martial Arts: Blood-Qi Extreme Realm - Mid-stage Organ Refining.

Blood Qi Value: 3558.86 kcal

Strength: 28735.78 jun

Strength Value: 8.07 times.

Qin Ruoxi only noticed the eight times Strength Value on the page.

Eight times the Strength Value of someone from a remote province—is this even human?

"This is unbelievable! How come Chen Lie's Strength Value is so high?"

"On the entire Blue Star, only the top dozen or so people on the Blood Qi Ranking can break through the eight-fold multiplier of Strength Value. His eight-fold Strength Value is even higher than mine!" Qin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes, her face full of shock.

In the Outer Stars, a person's potential at Blood-Qi Stage is defined by the purity of their Qi and Blood, or the level of their Strength Value.

Strength Value is a reflection of a person's talent. Blue Star looks to the Outer Stars for everything, so Blue Star places even greater emphasis on Martial Artist's Strength Value than the Outer Stars. "No wonder he dared to provoke Huo Jinghong; it turns out he's not brainless, but rather has eight times the Strength Value."

Without even thinking, she knew that if the people at the Martial Artist Association headquarters found out about someone with eight times the Strength Value a person from a remote province, they would definitely become a martial arts genius that Blue Star University would focus on cultivating. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for them to join the Super Genius Class?

Suddenly, Qin Ruoxi murmured to herself, "Eh? I remember that Brother Jiang Yuan seems to be recruiting geniuses from the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking recently, in preparation for attending Starry Sky University soon."

This Chen Lie, from a barren province, possesses eight times the Strength Value, making him an absolute potential star. With eight times the Strength Value, he is almost certain to reach the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage, the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm.

If Brother Jiang Yuan could recruit a follower like Chen Lie, who could fight for Jiang Yuan at Blue Star University in the future, that would be wonderful. Having a follower at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage at Starry Sky University to run errands and do odd jobs would allow Brother Jiang Yuan to focus more on his martial arts training, and his martial arts realm would definitely surpass his peers."

Qin Ruoxi rested her chin on her hands, her gaze shifting. "However, if Grandpa knew that Chen Lie had eight times the Strength Value, he would definitely strongly recommend Chen Lie to join the Super Genius Class, and even give him treatment beyond that of Super Genius Class students. Wouldn't that make Chen Lie arrogant? That wouldn't be good for Brother Jiang Yuan's recruitment!"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Ruoxi continued, "No, we can't let Grandpa know that Chen Lie's Strength Value is eight times higher. Let's fake it!" Qin Ruoxi found a piece of white paper, wrote down Chen Lie's basic information, but changed the eight times Strength Value to six times.

After listing the information, Qin Ruoxi found her Communicator and sent a message to a friend's account using the Green Bubble icon.

Brother Jiang Yuan, haven't you been recruiting geniuses from the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking lately?

I've found someone for you named Chen Lie. Although he hasn't made it onto the Blood Qi Ranking yet, he has great potential. I'll send you his information. If you have time, you can go meet him and recruit him into your ranks.

But remember to be quick. If you wait too long and his strength increases, it will be harder to recruit him.

After sending the message, Qin Ruoxi then sent Chen Lie's message.

Then, she cleared the message history, took the compiled information, and went back to the backyard.

Qin Ruoxi entered the backyard and went straight to Chen Lie. To be honest, she was still somewhat skeptical of Chen Lie's eight-fold Strength Value. She knew very well how difficult it was to increase Strength Value by such a factor; even she, a native of Lanjing Province, hadn't achieved eight times the Strength Value. How could someone from a poor province have done it?

"Hey, are you Chen Lie? Have you ever used the Star Liquid to boost your Strength Value?"

Chen Lie truthfully replied, "I've used one bottle."

"You've only used one bottle?"

Qin Ruoxi was immediately startled.

So, Chen Lie's Strength Value still has at least 0.3 times the potential for improvement. How did he manage that?

"Chen Lie, have you used Star Liquid?"

Luo Zhixun found it strange. Star Liquid was practically a strategic reserve resource of Blue Star, and even Genius Class students had difficulty accessing it. Chen Lie had always been in the Key Class before, so how could he have obtained Star Liquid?

"A few days ago, I was lucky enough to win a prize in the Sumeru Illusion Realm Organ Refining Stage competition and was rewarded with a bottle of Star Liquid," Chen Liedao.

Qin Zhenwei asked, "Ruoxi, have you finished listing the information?"

"It's already listed, I'll give it to you in a bit."

Qin Ruoxi was worried that Chen Lie would still be there, and that her falsification of accounts would be exposed to him. So she planned to show the altered information to her grandfather after Chen Lie left.
