Aren't you being a little too loyal?

"If there's still no news in a couple of days, remember to let me know, and I'll go ask my master again," Luo Zhixun said.

Chen Lie nodded. With Qin Ruoxi interfering, the outcome probably wouldn't be good.

It doesn't matter, though. Soon after he cultivates the final organ of the Viscera Refining Vajra and begins cultivating the Pure Yang Precious Blood, he will be in dire need of resources. Blue Star probably doesn't have the resources for cultivating the Pure Yang Precious Blood. If he doesn't show some extraordinary talent, how can he attract the attention of the Blue Star authorities? It's unrealistic to expect him to go to Outer Stars to find resources on his own.

After exchanging a few words with Luo Zhixun, Chen Lie Wei Ranran, and Luo Zhixun took an airship to the square of the Second Campus.

At this moment, hundreds of people have already gathered in the Second Campus square and are walking back and forth.

Luo Zhixun and Chen Lie arrived at the twelve Crystal Pillar in the Second Campus.

"Chen Lie, these are the twelve Crystal Pillar bestowed upon Blue Star by the Ten-Star Alliance of the Canglan Star Domain. They contain martial arts secrets from Outer Stars to enhance Strength Value. Have you begun to comprehend them?" Luo Zhixun asked.

Chen Lie nodded. "I've figured it out!"

"You've only just entered the Genius Class, so you've probably only had time to comprehend the first Crystal Pillar. Once you've comprehended all twelve Crystal Pillar, your Strength Value will at least double," Luo Zhixun said.

Chen Lie nodded and walked around the Crystal Pillar. He used his divine sense to investigate remotely and found that, except for the first three Crystal Pillar, the Mental Power contained in each Crystal Pillar had been consumed by more than 70%.

If each Crystal Pillar can be used 20,000 times, then it can only be used about 5,000 times now.

In particular, the ninth and tenth Crystal Pillar are almost exhausted in terms of Mental Power, and their color is showing a tendency to change from dark yellow to light yellow. This is probably because the ninth and tenth Crystal Pillar are more difficult to comprehend, so more attempts are required. The Mental Power contained inside the Crystal Pillar is only a little over 10%, which can still be used for about 2,000 more attempts.

In contrast, the eleventh and twelfth Crystal Pillar still contain nearly forty percent of Mental Power.

Comprehending the twelve Crystal Pillar is a gradual process; if you can't pass the ninth or tenth pillar, you can't skip to the later Crystal Pillar. After exploring all twelve Crystal Pillar, Chen Lie had just turned to leave when several girls emerged from the meditation area next to the tenth pillar. "Hey, Liusu, look, isn't that your boyfriend?"

One of the girls, with her high ponytail and catfish-like whiskers, and a sweet face, looked up and immediately saw a familiar figure. "It really is her!" This beautiful girl with the high ponytail and catfish-like whiskers was none other than Ruan Liusu, and the person speaking to Ruan Liusu was her friend Zhao Ziyan. Zhao Ziyan said, "Aren't you going to go and say something?"

Ruan Liusu glanced back at the students in the Sixth Genius Class and said, "Then don't wait for me, I'll go take a look."

After speaking, Ruan Liusu waved to Zhao Ziyan and the other girls, then walked quickly forward.

As soon as Ruan Liusu left, a girl exclaimed in surprise, "Boyfriend? Ruan Liusu actually has a boyfriend?"

"That's right, seventeen or eighteen years old is the golden age for martial arts cultivation. It's such a waste to spend this time on dating, isn't it? Besides, Ruan Liusu is so talented. She's not even eighteen yet, and she's already in the late stage of the Organ Refining Stage, with an astonishing 7.5 times the Strength Value. But even with such talent, it shouldn't be wasted like this."

"She must be secretly dating someone behind her family's back. If I were dating at that age, my parents would probably break my legs." Zhao Ziyan glanced at the girls gossiping and said, "Don't make wild guesses. Ruan Liusu dating is something both sets of parents know about."

"No way? Blue Star actually has such open-minded parents?"

Chen Lie had just turned around and taken a few steps when he heard a clear and pleasant voice beside him.

"Chen Lie!"

Chen Lie turned around and saw Ruan Liusu waving as she walked towards him.

"Ruan Liusu? What are you doing here?" Chen Lie asked when he saw Ruan Liusu.

"Isn't today the Class Eight's martial arts competition? I'm in the Sixth Genius Class, and I'm also one of the Class Eight," Ruan Liusu said.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Luo Zhixun and Wei Ranran walking towards Chen Lie's side, and nodded slightly to them.

Ruan Liusu knew that these two were from the East River Provincial Genius Group and were from the same hometown as Chen Lie. She had met them during Northwest Military Training. "By the way, there's something I want to ask you. Last time, your friend, I think her name was Zhao something-or-other, said that her parents had arranged a marriage for her. What's going on?" Chen Lie looked at Ruan Liusu.

"This..."

Ruan Liusu blushed. Although she really wanted to tell the truth and confront Chen Lie directly, she couldn't bring herself to say it when she saw Luo Zhixun and Wei Ranran beside her.

How could she reveal such a private matter in front of outsiders? So she said, "If you really want to know, let's find a quiet place another day, and I'll tell you in private."

"Alright then." Chen Lie nodded.

"Chen Lie, didn't you take the Class Promotion Assessment a while ago? Which Genius Class did you join?" Ruan Liusu asked.

"The First Genius Class."

"The First Genius Class is in the First Campus, right? It's the furthest from the Thirteenth Campus. Even if you pass the test and become External Student in the Super Genius Class, traveling back and forth between the Thirteenth Campus and First Campus will be a waste of time," Ruan Liusu said. Chen Lie asked, "What do you mean, 'traveling back and forth'?"

"Once you're certified as an unofficial student, you just need to register your name in your chosen Genius Class. You'll spend most of your time at the Thirteenth Campus, but if there are any special events for the Genius Class, you'll need to travel back and forth between the 13th and First Campus," Ruan Liusu explained. Chen Liedao, "That's not a problem."

"By the way, Chen Lie, I'm already cultivating the Five Viscera in the Organ Refining Stage. I'll soon reach the Organ Refining Stage Completion and become External Student the Super Genius Class. I haven't asked you yet, what's going on with you? Logically speaking, although the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong are somewhat impoverished, you won the Three-Province Martial Champion, which makes you Region-Level Genius. Why didn't you directly join the Super Genius Class? Why did you have to climb the ranks step by step from the Key Class?" Ruan Liusu asked. Luo Zhixun, who was standing next to her, asked curiously, "Don't you know?"

Ruan Liusu was taken aback. "Know what?"

Upon seeing this, Luo Zhixun immediately realized that Ruan Liusu truly knew nothing, so she recounted the whole story to Ruan Liusu. This girl from Sunan Province had even helped East River Province with their tasks during military training, and Luo Zhixun had developed a good impression of her. Moreover, she seemed to have a good relationship with Chen Lie, so Luo Zhixun didn't hold back her words.

After hearing everything, Ruan Liusu's eyes immediately blazed with anger.

"What Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking Top Ten? So narrow-minded, just relying on being older, and in a martial arts conflict, they actually used connections to get Blue Star University to interfere?"

This is absolutely outrageous!

"Chen Lie, is that Huo Jinghong? He used his connections with the Blue Star Martial Artist Association to secretly suppress you. We can't just let him bully us like this."

"Come with me to a place today, I have a way to help you get revenge!" Ruan Liusu said.

Luo Zhixun's eyelids twitched. Why was Ruan Liusu reacting so strongly? It was as if she herself was the one being suppressed.

She and Chen Lie had known each other since they were both unknown. As a friend, she felt sorry for Chen Lie Chen Lie after witnessing him being treated unfairly and wanted to do her best to help him.

How could Ruan Liusu be so empathetic, even declaring she would help Chen Lie vent his anger?

A genius ranked in the top ten of the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking is highly valued by the authorities. Even if they make a mistake, the officials can only offer stern advice and would never punish them.

"Help me vent my anger? You're being too righteous, aren't you?"

Chen Lie glanced at Ruan Liusu and said.

"I'm not joking," Ruan Liusu said Zheng Zhong.

Chen Lie inexplicably ended up in an Key Class. She initially thought it was because of Chen Lie extraordinary Mental Power, which was arranged and hidden by the higher-ups at Blue Star University. Little did she know that he was actually being secretly suppressed.

She had considered Chen Lie as one of her own since they first met in East River Province.

At her home, apart from herself and her grandfather, everyone else still believed that her relationship with Chen Lie was already settled.

Ruan Liusu has always been clear about who is friend and foe. If she simply suffers a setback in martial arts, she can get revenge later. But she absolutely cannot tolerate being bullied by external forces that suppress those she considers her own people.

"Alright, thank you for your kindness, but I won't trouble you any further."

After all, Sunan Province is just a local province and cannot interfere with the decisions of the Blue Star Martial Artist Association Headquarters.

Chen Lie could only say that he appreciated Ruan Liusu's kindness.

Seeing Chen Lie's attitude, Ruan Liusu said no more, but secretly made a decision in her heart.

At this moment, hundreds of students in the Second Campus square all walked towards the inner square.

Luo Zhixun said from the side, "Chen Lie, it's time. Shall we go to the students in the First Genius Class?"

"Okay!" Chen Lie nodded, looked at Ruan Liusu, and asked, "Are you going back to your Sixth Genius Class?"

Ruan Liusu shook her head and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."

Upon hearing Ruan Liusu's answer, Chen Lie did not ask any further questions.

After walking all the way to the inner square where the crowd had gathered, Chen Lie asked Luo Zhixun, "What are the specific events of today's Class Eight martial arts competition?" "It's very simple. Each person from the eight Genius Class will have to go to the Duel Platform at least twice to spar with others."

Furthermore, you can challenge others, and others can challenge you, unless the difference in martial arts level between the challenger and the challenger is too great, you cannot refuse.

"Anyway, all I need to do is spar with someone on the Duel Platform a couple of times; the instructor or assistant will arrange everything," Luo Zhixun said.

"That simple?"

"It's quite simple. Blue Star University aims to cultivate martial arts geniuses with outstanding combat awareness, so practical combat is essential."

Only through long-term practical combat can muscle memory be formed in battle.

As they talked, Chen Lie and Luo Zhixun arrived at the gathering point of the First Genius Class students.

Upon arriving, Chen Lie saw that the eighty or ninety students from the First Genius Class were divided into four camps. Three of the camps had roughly the same number of people, all around twenty. These people stood tall and proud, exuding an imposing aura.

The fourth group, however, was sparsely populated, scattered in small groups.

"Our First Genius Class has people from four provinces: Xiangguang Province, Jingji Province and Nanjiang Province, and the last one is East River Province. Because East River Province is the weakest overall, it is ostracized by the other three provinces."

Those three teams were from Hunan and Guangxi, Jingji and Jiangsu, South River. The leaders were Zou Mingjun from Xiangguang Province, Jiang Shuining from Jingji, and Yun Panpan from Nanjiang Province.

"These three are all External Student in the Super Genius Class. They don't usually return to the Genius Class in the First Campus. Today might be a special case," Luo Zhixun explained.

As soon as Chen Lie appeared, the students from East River Province, who had been scattered, gathered around him.

"Captain Chen, hello!"

Several students from East River Province came up to Chen Lie and greeted him.

Chen Lie nodded slightly in agreement.

Among the people of Jingji Province.

Upon seeing Chen Lie appear, Jiang Rou immediately pointed behind her and said to her older sister Jiang Shuining, who was sitting in front of her, "Sister, that's the person. He slapped me twice in public in the Sumeru Illusion Realm last time, and he also injured Li Yang and Wei Zhen yesterday."

Jiang Shuining looked ahead in the direction Jiang Rou was pointing, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Chen Lie for a moment.

"Is that the freshman you mentioned who just entered the Genius Class the day before yesterday?"

"That's him!"

Jiang Shuining's eyebrows shot up as she asked Jiang Rou, "Do you know his background? What's his name?"

"Isn't his name Chen Lie? He's the Martial Leader of East River Province. I heard from Wei Ranran that he's also the Martial Top Scholar of some Chuanzhong Province. But in a remote place like Chuanzhong, even if he's the best in several provinces, his martial arts are probably just average. He'd be at most at the late stage of the Organ Refining Stage, right? He couldn't possibly injure Li Yang and Wei Zhen with one kick." Jiang Rou said indifferently.

"The top student in Chuanzhong? That's Region-Level Genius. Given Blue Star University's support for students from remote provinces, they should be able to directly join the Super Genius Class. How could they have been promoted from the Key Class?"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Jiang Shuining asked.

"I don't know either, it was Wei Ranran from East River Province who said it!"

"I see!"

Jiang Shuining recognized Chen Lie Chen Lie the moment she saw his face.

It was the person who ended her 97th Genius Hundred-Match Streak victory in the Sumeru Illusion Realm.

She was already at the Organ Refining Stage Completion and had one foot in the Blood Refining Stage, but she couldn't defeat Chen Lie even after hundreds of moves, which shows how extraordinary he was in martial arts.

She was originally Dual-Department Student cultivated both martial arts and Mental Power, with Sea of Consciousness Score of over 700,000, and even created a Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit.

He intended to use Mental Power to defeat his enemy in one fell swoop, but unexpectedly, he was defeated in a completely inexplicable way.

However, her Consciousness Spirit was severely damaged at that time, and she felt listless for several days after waking up in the Sumeru Illusion Realm.

Only then did I belatedly realize that I had been defeated in the area of Mental Power, which I was most proud of.

With Sea of Consciousness Score of 700,000 Three-Eyed Spirit Fox at the Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit level, Jiang Shuining was still unable to make a clear guess. This made her realize the extent of her opponent's attainments in the path of Divine Sense Master.
