Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art
Soon, the six students who were eligible to choose their classes selected their options.
Tan Qihui, the tutor of the First Genius Class, asked Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, why is everything in your student file encrypted except for your name, age, and place of origin?"
"I don't know either," Chen Lie shook his head.
Tan Qihui didn't ask any more questions. East River Province was a barren land, so he figured Chen Lie's martial arts skills couldn't be that high.
It took more than half an hour for all 51 students to be assigned to classes.
Tan Qihui selected three students: Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing.
At this moment, Pei Ning approached Tan Qihui with a smile and said, "Professor Tan, congratulations on recruiting Chen Lie. His talent is extraordinary."
Tan Qihui wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Lighting up twenty Crystal Stone is indeed rare. None of the more than two thousand students in the entire Genius Class have that aptitude. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that Chen Lie's aptitude might be more than just lighting up twenty Crystal Stone. Perhaps the Crystal Pillar used to test aptitude isn't advanced enough, which is why Chen Lie could only get this result."
Upon hearing Pei Ning's words, Tan Qihui was immediately taken aback.
If that's the case, then Chen Lie is quite formidable.
"Junior Brother Chen Lie, you have exceptional talent and are poised to break through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage. Keep up the good work!"
Pei Ning specifically told Chen Lie about it.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Thank you, I will."
Tan Qihui said, "Alright, three students, come with me to the First Genius Class."
After speaking, Tan Qihui led Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing away from the general office of the Genius Class.
After leaving the general office, it took about twenty minutes to walk before Tan Qihui led the three to a martial arts training ground covering an area of about 15,000 square meters.
"Students, this is the Martial Dao Training Ground of our First Genius Class. It has Martial Arts Arena, Duel Platform, various testing instruments, and Personal Training Room. All kinds of facilities for martial arts training are available here. The facilities here are even more complete than those of the Genius Group training grounds in the top ten provinces of Blue Star."
The students in the Genius Class practice martial arts independently, and generally do not gather together unless there is a group mission.
"Excuse me, teacher, I've heard that the Genius Class has an Strength Value Outer Star Secret Technique that can increase Strength Value by at least double after fully comprehending it. Is that true?" At this moment, a girl named Li Xiujing asked.
"It's true!" Tan Qihui nodded and said, "There are twelve Crystal Pillar in the square of the second campus."
These twelve Crystal Pillar contain a martial arts secret technique, inscribed by Mental Power Grandmaster, specifically designed to enhance the purity of Qi and blood. It is called the Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art.
The Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art has twelve forms, one of which is inscribed on each of the twelve pillars. Students in the Genius Class can directly comprehend it using the Crystal Pillar. Each successfully comprehended form, combined with corresponding Martial Dao Rare Treasure, can increase a person's Strength Value by up to 0.1 times within a few days. If all twelve forms of the Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art can be mastered, the Strength Value can be increased by up to 1.2 times.
Upon hearing Tan Qihui's words, Chi Naixue and Li Xiujing gasped in astonishment, exclaiming, "There are actually such miraculous martial arts techniques in this world?"
"The <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> is advanced Martial Arts Knowledge from Outer Stars, and it has always been strictly sealed off by Outer Stars. It was only after an eighth-level Grandmaster -level genius from our Blue Star Starry Sky University and joined the Interstellar Allied Forces, made a first-class contribution in a mission to wipe out Star Bandit that Blue Star was able to obtain it."
It is precisely because of the twelve pillars of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> that the young geniuses of our Blue Star have made rapid progress in their Blood-Qi Martial Way over the past two years, and martial Martial Artist have begun to emerge at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage and Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Transformation Realm."
"Interstellar Allied Forces? Star Bandit? What are these?" Chi Naixue asked.
"The Interstellar Allied Forces is an army composed of 86 inhabited planets in the Canglan Star Domain. It is responsible for protecting the Canglan Star Domain, fighting against foreign races, and suppressing interstellar bandits."
So-called Star Bandit are interstellar bandits who kill and plunder living beings, plunder resources, and openly violate interstellar law. They are bandit gangs ranging from a few hundred to tens of thousands of people who live by plundering and have no fixed abode. Some rampant Star Bandit will even launch a raid on an entire planet. Therefore, Star Bandit have always been wanted by the Interstellar Allied Forces.
Of course, these things are irrelevant to you. Your focus should be on how to increase your Strength Value, as Strength Value reflects a person's potential at the Blood-Qi Stage.
With four times the Strength Value, one can reach the Ultimate Realm the Blood-Qi Stage; with eight times the Strength Value, one has the potential to break through to the Second Extreme Realm of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm.
If your base Strength Value is slightly over five times, after fully comprehending the twelve forms of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>, coupled with the aid of Star Dollar Liquid and Star Liquid, your Strength Value could potentially increase by more than 1.5 times."
Upon hearing this, Chi Naixue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Then if Strength Value exceeds six times, wouldn't it be possible to break Strength Value eight times if one cultivates the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>?"
"That's not how it works. The higher your Strength Value, the harder it is to improve, and the less Strength Value the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> will be. The effect of the Star Dollar Liquid will be negligible."
Furthermore, the twelve forms of the Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art are progressively more difficult than the last. It is precisely because cultivating the Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art requires a high level of aptitude and comprehension that we are afraid to conduct an aptitude test for you.
"To successfully master all twelve forms of the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>, it's very difficult without the talent to activate twenty Crystal Stone."
After Tan Qihui finished speaking, the other two looked at Chen Lie.
Chen Lie is the only one among his students with the talent to light up twenty Crystal Stone, and he did so in just two minutes. Therefore, he should find it easy to cultivate the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>.
"Our Genius Class has a very different mechanism from the Key Class. Each Genius Class has two teaching assistants."
The instructors in the Genius Class also have missions to fight against Exotic Beast in the Northwest. When I'm not at Blue Star University, if you encounter any difficulties in martial arts, you can seek help from the two teaching assistants."
"Teaching assistant?"
"Well, both teaching assistants are fourth-year students at Blue Star University, Sixth-Order Martial Artist have cultivated True Qi Wall. They were also students in the Genius Class and have profound attainments in the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm. Guiding you shouldn't be difficult for them."
Tan Qihui led the three to the training grounds of the First Genius Class, then made a call to summon the two assistant instructors.
Before long, a young man and woman in their twenties arrived.
Upon seeing the two young people arrive, Tan Qihui said, "These are our two teaching assistants from the First Genius Class, Song Zihang and Xue Caini." "Hello, teaching assistants!"
Chi Naixue greeted Li Xiujing.
The man and woman, who appeared to be around twenty-three years old, nodded to the two of them.
"Teaching Assistant Song, Teaching Assistant Xue, these three students are new students in our First Genius Class."
Their names are Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing. They just got promoted today, so you can take care of them and make their place."
"Okay, Professor Tan."
Song Zihang and Xue Caini nodded.
After Tan Qihui finished speaking, he left.
Xue Caini stepped forward and waved to Chen Lie and the other two. "Hello, juniors. I'm Xue Caini, the teaching assistant for the First Genius Class. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me or this senior Song Zihang."
Song Zihang, who was behind him, said, "I still have work to do this afternoon. You take care of these three new students and get them settled in."
Xue Caini nodded slightly.
After Song Zihang left, Xue Caini took out her Communicator and said, "Classmates, shall I add you to the group chat for the First Genius Class? If you have any questions in the future, you can contact me directly through the group chat."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie and the other two took out their Communicator and let Xue Caini join the group chat on her own.
Soon after, Chen Lie entered the group chat of "Blue Star University's First Genius Class".
Chen Lie glanced at the group chat and saw that there were 93 members, roughly including the instructor and two teaching assistants. He added the three to the group chat, Xue Caini continued, "Three students, for the convenience of teaching, our Dormitory are also located within the training grounds. The building next to the training grounds is the Dormitory; it has at least a hundred empty rooms. Just find any empty room and do facial recognition."
As she spoke, Xue Caini pointed to the building next to the training ground.
Then he led Chen Lie Chen Lie and the other two directly into the Dormitory Building, personally assigned them Dormitory, and recorded Chi Naixue Li Xiujing recognition data.
"Regarding cultivation resources, there will be no shortage of resources in the Genius Class. You will receive 3,000 Credit of resources every month."
However, for students in the Genius Class, the resources needed for practicing martial arts are sometimes very scarce, and they may not be available on Blue Star, so they can only purchase them from Outer Stars using Galactic Coin.
You can team up with your classmates to hunt mythical Illusion Beast in the Sumeru Illusion Realm and exchange them for Illusion Beast Galactic Coin.
With Galactic Coin, you can purchase martial arts resources from Outer Stars through the school. Students in the Genius Class will enjoy preferential treatment, and the school will share half of the Outer Stars martial arts resources you purchase.
For example, a rare Martial Dao Rare Treasure worth 600 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, you only need to pay 300 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, and the school will cover the rest."
"300 Star-Origin Galactic Coins? How many Illusion Beast would I need to hunt to earn that?" Chi Naixue thought in surprise.
It seems that Outer Stars martial arts resources have nothing to do with them.
It's likely that only those at the Organ Refining Stage Completion, or even the Blood Refining Stage, could hunt down so many Illusion Beast.
"In addition to that, we Genius Class students have a monthly mission: to go to the Northwest to hunt Exotic Beast."
The Exotic Beast of the Northwest are a major threat to Blue Star. To ensure that the students in the Genius Class remember this, the school stipulates that each student must hunt at least 20 Exotic Beast every month. "Next, I will take you to the square of the Second Campus, the location of the twelve Crystal Pillar containing the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>. Follow me!" Xue Caini led Chen Lie and the other two out of the Martial Dao Training Ground and to a square next to it where airships were parked.
At this moment, more than thirty airships are parked in the Airship Plaza.
"The airships here are public airships of Blue Star University. The First Campus is more than ten kilometers away from the Second Campus, so it's more convenient to take an airship," Xue Caini explained, and then let Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing board the airship.
After boarding the airship, Xue Caini gave a voice command and headed to the square of the Second Campus.
The airship took off and came to a stop outside the square of the Second Campus in less than two minutes.
As soon as they disembarked from the airship, Xue Caini continued, "Instructor Tan must have already told you about the twelve Crystal Pillar containing the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>. These twelve Crystal Pillar are a reward from the Canglan Star Domain to Blue Star, and they were inscribed by a ninth-order Mental Power Grandmaster."
The <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> inside the Crystal Pillar has no mental cultivation method or incantation; it can only be comprehended at the level of consciousness. In other words, even if someone successfully comprehends the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>, it is difficult to pass it on orally to a third person because there is no corresponding mental cultivation method or incantation.
It is said that the Mental Power contained within these twelve Crystal Pillar can only be used 20,000 times. After 20,000 uses, the Mental Power within the Crystal Pillar will be exhausted, at which point the Blood-Qi Martial Way of Blue Star will likely plummet.
"There's actually a limit to the number of attempts?"
Xue Caini nodded and said, "The twelve Crystal Pillar have already been used more than 14,000 times, and there are only 5,000 more uses left before our Mental Power is exhausted. The Divine Sense Grandmaster on Blue Star are also trying to find ways to replenish the Mental Power of these twelve Mental Pillar and extend their lifespan, but the effect is minimal. Therefore, Blue Star University has a rule that, for the long term, the same person can only use the Crystal Pillar a maximum of three times to comprehend the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>. For the first use of the same Crystal Pillar Crystal Pillar to comprehend the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art>, a symbolic 100 Credit are charged; the second time, 1,000 Credit are charged directly; and the third time, 10,000 Credit are charged."
"Therefore you must cherish the opportunity to learn the <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> using the Crystal Pillar, because each person only has three chances." "We understand," Chi Naixue and Li Xiujing said one after another.
Xue Caini narrowed her eyes, looked at Chen Lie, and asked, "Why isn't this junior saying anything?"
Chi Naixue said, "Senior Xue, when Chen Lie was testing his aptitude, he lit up twenty Crystal Stone in a very short time. With his aptitude, he will probably be able to fully comprehend the martial arts secrets within the Crystal Pillar on his first try."
"Oh? Is it that amazing?"
Xue Caini was slightly surprised. Among the entire group of students in the Genius Class, very few people could light up all twenty Crystal Stone in the aptitude test, let alone light up all twenty Crystal Stone in such a short time.
"However, even if your aptitude surpasses others, you should still try not to be careless. The <Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art> is quite difficult, starting from the nine pillars of the ninth form."
Those with strong aptitude should try to comprehend this martial arts secret technique after studying the Crystal Pillar twice, thus saving later participants one more opportunity to participate in the Crystal Pillar competition."
Chen Lie looked at Xue Caini and asked, "Instructor Xue, if I can replenish the Mental Power of the Crystal Pillar and extend its lifespan, will Blue Star University award me any prize?"
