The First Genius Class

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on this spot.

Before the Crystal Pillar, many people completed their tests.

At the 50-minute mark, Mu Ningshu and Chi Naixue completed the test, lighting up the Crystal Stone Crystal Stone. After the test, they were incredulous to see that Chen Lie had only lit up nine Crystal Stone.

They wouldn't be surprised at all if Region-Level Genius lit up all twenty Crystal Stone, as that would be expected. But lighting up a mere nine Crystal Stone was simply unbelievable.

Mu Ningshu walked over and said, "Chen Lie, even if you wanted to hide your talents, you've gone too far."

I think that fewer people who light up nine Crystal Stone in the aptitude test are able to get into Blue Star University than those who Crystal Stone up all twenty. "That's true! Blue Star University only has three or four hundred thousand students, and these are all top students from all over the world. Even a student in an Ordinary Class should light up no fewer than ten Crystal Stone in the aptitude test." Chi Naixue agreed.

Pei Ning glanced at Mu Ningshu and Chi Naixue and said, "Do you two know this junior?"

Mu Ningshu nodded and said, "We came from the same Key Class."

"Then you guys should try to persuade him. The aptitude test showed that he lit up nine Crystal Stone. This kind of cheating is too blatant. The leaders of Blue Star University will notice something is wrong at a glance," Pei Ning said.

"I'm sorry, senior, Chen Lie's talent is the strongest in our class, far surpassing the two of us. He may have some unspeakable difficulties, so he's been hiding his abilities a bit too much."

Pei Ning glanced at the test results of Mu Ningshu and Chi Naixue. One lit up 18 Crystal Stone, and the other lit up 17 Crystal Stone. If their aptitude far surpassed theirs, then it would be at least 19 Crystal Stone.

She looked at Chen Lie and said, "There's a limit to how much you can hide your talents. At Blue Star University, if someone lights up nine Crystal Stone in the aptitude test, even a blind person can tell something's wrong. If I just record it like that, I'll definitely be held responsible for not supervising them properly."

If you really want to hide your shortcomings, that's fine, but please at least light up 14 Crystal Stone. Don't put me in a difficult position."

Mu Ningshu nodded slightly and said, "Chen Lie, you've been hiding your true abilities too well. Let's test you again."

Chen Lie let out a breath. He lit up nine Crystal Stone, even with his martial arts insights at the Grandmaster level. His overall skill level shouldn't exceed seven. It wasn't that he didn't want to break through more Crystal Stone levels; he simply couldn't.

"Okay, I'll try again."

Chen Lie stepped forward and came to the Crystal Pillar once again.

These Crystal Stone challenges were created by Outer Stars Divine Sense Master who infused them with their Mental Power. If Chen Lie were to follow the proper procedures and rely solely on his comprehension and aptitude to overcome them, he would only have the strength to break through nine Crystal Stone challenges.

However, if one could use superior Mental Power techniques to break through the restrictions within the Crystal Stone level, all the Crystal Stone could be lit up. But using this method is tantamount to cheating, and these Testing Crystal seem to have been set up by Mental Power Grandmaster from Outer Stars. If Chen Lie hadn't yet reached the Divine Sense Master level, there would have been absolutely no possibility of breaking through the Crystal Stone restrictions. Now that he has, with his superior Mental Power techniques, he could try, but since they were set up by Divine Sense Grandmaster, the probability of success is still not high.

Chen Lie stroked the Crystal Pillar and silently probed the interior of the Crystal Stone with his Mental Power. He instantly discovered that the restrictions inside the Crystal Stone were as solid as a rock, and the possibility of breaking them was almost zero.

He murmured to himself, "Divine Sense Grandmaster is indeed Divine Sense Grandmaster. Even a casually set restriction is so difficult to break." Since he couldn't break it, Chen Lie could only use cleverness to deceive the Crystal Stone barrier. He immediately began to look for a loophole in the Mental Power restriction within the Crystal Stone. Pei Ning saw that Chen Lie had returned to the Crystal Pillar to prepare for a second test and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nine Crystal Stone lit up her aptitude test results. If she were to record them like that and it came to the attention of the higher-ups at Blue Star University, she would be accused of dereliction of duty. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Ning recorded the test results of the other students one by one.

Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.

When Pei Ning came to see Chen Lie again, she found that more than ten minutes had passed and he hadn't even lit up a single Crystal Stone. Her eyebrows furrowed in disapproval. "Chi Naixue, Mu Ningshu, you just said that this Chen Lie is in your class. If what you say is true, that he has great talent, then what are his intentions? Why is he hiding his abilities time and time again?"

This time it's even worse. More than ten minutes have passed, and not a single Crystal Stone has been solved. If that's the case, why bother with a second test?

Mu Ningshu and Chi Naixue couldn't understand Chen Lie's thoughts either, so they didn't know how to answer Pei Ning.

They had no doubt that Chen Lie was only capable of breaking through nine Crystal Stone challenges. How could Region-Level Genius was ranked first in several provinces be mediocre? The other students who had already been tested gathered around the Crystal Pillar, pointing and whispering about Chen Lie.

"Could this person be limited in aptitude, only able to light up nine Crystal Stone?"

"That's unlikely. The people who can get into Blue Star University are all martial arts geniuses from all over the world. Even if you randomly pick someone from Ordinary Class, they wouldn't only be able to crack nine Crystal Stone."

Just then, Pei Ning received a communication notification. She picked up her Communicator, glanced at it, and said calmly, "The instructors for all the Genius Class are already downstairs. With these test results, I'm afraid no instructor will be willing to accept me. Class assignments will be a problem later." Mu Ningshu and Chi Naixue exchanged a glance, wondering if Chen Lie was doing this on purpose.

Region-Level Genius should be in the Super Genius Class. Chen Lie deliberately didn't put in his best effort during the test, which might result in no Genius Class instructors being willing to accept him. This would probably alarm the higher-ups at Blue Star University.

Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to tell the higher-ups at Blue Star University about his experience of being suppressed by the powerful and wealthy, and seize the chance to join the Super Genius Class? Just then, Chen Lie's divine sense successfully found a loophole in the Mental Power restriction within the Crystal Stone.

Immediately afterwards, the Crystal Stone on the Crystal Pillar began to shine brightly.

One, two, three...

In less than two minutes, all twenty Crystal Stone on the Crystal Pillar were lit up.

"This... this is..."

Upon seeing this, Pei Ning was immediately astonished.

Mu Ningshu was also taken aback. "Two minutes to light up twenty Crystal Stone? Is this the talent of Region-Level Genius?" Chi Naixue was equally shocked. She had spent forty minutes lighting up 18 Crystal Stone, which had already taken her a lot of effort. What did it mean to light up twenty Crystal Stone in two minutes?

The other students who were watching were also stunned.

"Did I see that right? He lit up twenty Crystal Stone in two minutes?"

"How could it be possible in just two minutes? Could there be something wrong with the Crystal Pillar?"

Pei Ning, who was standing to the side, was startled when he heard Mu Ningshu whisper about the Region-Level Genius.

Region-Level Genius? Is this Chen Lie Region-Level Genius?

Shouldn't Region-Level Genius be in the Super Genius Class? Why are they only being promoted to the Genius Class now?

After completing all of this, Chen Lie left the Crystal Pillar.

Approaching Pei Ning, he asked, "Is it alright now?"

Pei Ning nodded slightly. "I didn't expect you to have such high comprehension and talent. Among the people I know, only Han Ke, the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province and currently ranked 20th on the Blood Qi Ranking, Han Keke compete with you."

It took Han Keke ten minutes to light up all twenty Crystal Stone, unlike you who took only two minutes from lighting up the first Crystal Stone to lighting up Crystal Stone twenty.

Perhaps these Crystal Pillar aren't high enough to test the junior's talent.

Chen Lie nodded and said no more.

Pei Ning smiled gently, "Junior, please don't blame your senior. It's my job to supervise your aptitude tests. If you get a result with nine lit Crystal Stone, that's so fake. I won't be able to explain it to the professors if they ask."

"If you really want to hide your abilities, you can light up 14 Crystal Stone in the first test. Your senior sister definitely won't make things difficult for you."

Mu Ningshu also said, "Chen Lie, you really did hide your true abilities too much just now."

"I know," Chen Liedao.

At this moment, more than twenty tutors from the Genius Class arrived one after another in the hall on the second floor. Upon seeing this, Pei Ning immediately went to greet them.

"Hello, professors."

A man in his early thirties, the instructor of the First Genius Class, asked, "Assistant Pei, have the first batch of students who were promoted to the next class all had their aptitudes tested?" "They have!" Pei Ning replied.

"Oh? Where are the student's records? Show them to us."

Pei Ning immediately gave the recorded student files to these Genius Class teachers.

Then, she called over several students who met the requirements for choosing their own class.

This time, the qualification test lit up eighteen Crystal Stone, and there were six people whose Strength Value exceeded six times: Chen Lie, Dong Changqing, Mu Ningshu, Chi Naixue, Hong Qingchun, and Wang Xinrui.

"Fellow students, the six of you meet the criteria for choosing your own class. According to the rules, you can choose any class. Here is information on all the mentors for the Genius Class. Take a look and see if there's a mentor you like."

Pei Ning spoke, he gave each person a copy of the mentor's information.

Chen Lie took the information about his mentor and glanced at it casually.

The information above contains details about the tutors of the thirty Genius Class, meaning that there are a total of thirty Genius Class at Blue Star University. Each Genius Class class is limited to a maximum of 100 students, so the total number of Genius Class students at Blue Star University is 3,000.

At this moment, Mu Ningshu came over and asked, "Chen Lie, which mentor are you planning to choose?"

"Any one is fine with me, it doesn't matter," Chen Lie said.

Upon hearing Chen Lie's answer, Mu Ningshu instantly understood that the Genius Class might just be a transitional period for Chen Lie, and his real goal must be to join the Super Genius Class.

At this moment, the tutor of the First Genius Class received a student file and exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? This time, there's actually someone who lit up twenty Crystal Stone in the aptitude test? But why is all the information hidden?"

"A genius among these students?"

Li Ruolin, the beautiful tutor of the 16th Genius Class, came forward to take a look.

Having twenty Crystal Stone lit up in aptitude is rare even in the Genius Class.

Upon seeing this person's name, Li Ruolin, the tutor of the 15th Genius Class, immediately frowned.

Chen Lie?

Isn't this the student in Pang Xiuming's class? The same guy that Ji Lingxuan gave up her Exotic Beast mission to help a few days ago? No wonder he has such high aptitude, it's him!

Even Ji Lingxuan could light up twenty Crystal Stone, so it's normal for Chen Lie to light up twenty Crystal Stone as well.

"However, Ji Lingxuan's talent is so high that the gap between her and Chen Lie should be negligible. In fact, she was only temporarily behind when competing in the Chuanzhong Province, which is why she narrowly lost."

Li Ruolin, the tutor of the 16th Genius Class, thought to herself.

She sensed that Ji Lingxuan was acting strangely. Why would a normal person, an ordinary friend, neglect their martial arts training for someone else? Could it be that Ji Lingxuan had developed feelings for Chen Lie?

That won't do. This is the golden age of martial arts training; wasting time on romance will prevent you from achieving anything great in the future.

"Chen Lie shouldn't be in the 16th Genius Class. If they spend so much time together, what if they develop feelings for each other and start dating? Wouldn't that be a waste of two martial arts geniuses?"

Upon realizing this, Li Ruolin, the tutor of the 16th Genius Class, immediately looked away.

At that moment, the instructor of the First Genius Class walked among the students.

"Which one of you is Chen Lie?"

"I am!"

Chen Lie came out.

"Chen Lie, I am Tan Qihui, the tutor of the First Genius Class."

I see you're from East River Province. There are many people from East River Province in our First Genius Class. I wonder if you'd be interested in joining the First Genius Class?"

Tan Qihui, the tutor of the First Genius Class, extended an olive branch to Chen Lie.

"Alright."

Chen Lie had never cared which Genius Class he joined, so now that someone had extended an olive branch, he naturally went along with it. Tan Qihui was a little surprised that Chen Lie agreed so easily.

It seems he originally intended to join the First Genius Class, so he immediately agreed as soon as I invited him.

This is normal, after all, so many people from East River Province have joined the First Genius Class. A familiar martial arts circle will naturally attract people. "Hello, Instructor Tan, I am from Xiangguang Province. I heard that the main body of our Xiangguang Province's Genius Class is also in the First Genius Class. Is that true?" Chi Naixue asked at this time.

"Yes, the First Genius Class now has 87 students, including 12 from Xiangguang Province," Tan Qihui said.

"My name is Chi Naixue, and I also want to join the First Genius Class," Chi Naixue said.

Tan Qihui glanced through Chi Naixue's file and said, "Chi Naixue... Hmm, not bad, you scored 18 stars in the aptitude test. In that case, you can come with me later."

"Thank you, mentor."

Chi Naixue was filled with excitement. Back in Xiangguang Province, she had always regretted not being able to join the Genius Group, but now that she had joined the Genius Class at Blue Star University, she was able to stand on equal footing with the members of the Hunan Provincial Genius Group.

Mu Ningshu already had a preferred Genius Class, so she could only regretfully wave goodbye to Chen Lie and choose another Genius Class tutor.
