Star Elm Poria, Wu Earth Spleen!
The vice president of the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association, even if it's just a figurehead, is definitely Divine Sense Grandmaster. How could his assertion be wrong? Ruan Liusu then asked, "But they all say that your Consciousness Spirit doesn't have the special abilities unique to Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit? What's going on?" "The ability of my Consciousness Spirit is to amplify Mental Power attacks."
Ruan Liusu nodded and said "Uh," wasn't it said that Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit generally possessed this ability?
However, even if a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit lacks abilities, it is still far superior to Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit, so Ruan Liusu did not ask any further questions.
The two left the Divine Sense Master Association together and boarded the airship.
The airship took off and sped towards Blue Star University.
On the airship, Chen Lie looked at Ruan Liusu and asked, "What exactly happened with that friend of yours who said my parents were arranging a marriage for me?"
When Chen Lie asked, Ruan Liusu no longer avoided the question and frankly said, "Actually... your grandfather worked in our Sunan Province and knew my grandfather for decades. They must have had a very good relationship. Then, for some reason, they wanted to arrange a marriage between their descendants. But at that time, my father and my uncle's generation had already started their own families, so they planned to find a suitable match among the next generation."
Then more than a decade passed, during which my grandfather mentioned similar things, but nothing ever came of it.
Then, a little over two months ago, your grandfather came to see my grandfather in person and said that he had a grandson who was quite accomplished in martial arts and was the Martial Leader of East River Province ..."
Chen Lie suddenly interrupted Ruan Liusu: "Wait, are you saying that my grandfather wants to arrange a marriage for me?"
Ruan Liusu nodded somewhat shyly. "That's what your grandfather said back then..."
My family also advised me to... to get to know you better, so on the day of the Three-Provinces Martial Tournament, I made a trip to Yunchuan Province just to see what you're like."
"How is this possible? Why have I never heard of this before?"
Chen Lie knew that his grandfather, Chen Shijian, was very biased towards his second uncle's family, and by extension, he was also extremely biased towards Chen Ye.
Chen Ye's martial arts talent wasn't actually much stronger than Chen Lie's, but thanks to the martial arts resources his grandfather had been bringing him from Sunan Province, his Blood Qi Value was so much higher than Chen Lie's.
Given Ruan Liusu's status—her maternal grandfather was Ninth-Order Grandmaster and the vice president of the Blue Star Martial Artist Association, and her father was certainly no ordinary person either; several hundred years ago, he would have been comparable to a member of the imperial family.
Besides, Ruan Liusu must be from a powerful and influential family in Sunan Province. In his previous life, Chen Lie wouldn't even have been qualified to stand with Ruan Liusu, and Lu Qingchan wouldn't have even looked down on him.
It was even more impossible for Ruan Liusu, who was from a much higher social class than Lu Qingchan, to marry a powerful woman from such a martial arts-rich province. How could Grandpa Chen Shijian possibly have thought of such a good thing as him?
When Chen Lie asked her about this, Ruan Liusu became furious. "Don't you have a cousin?"
"There is one, do you know him?"
"I don't know him, but that day when I was with my grandfather in East River Province, he actually dared to impersonate you."
With his weak martial arts and scattered qi and blood, he actually dared to pretend to be the Martial Leader in front of me. I sent him flying more than ten meters away with one palm.
Later, your grandfather called you over.
"That day?"
Ruan Liusu nodded and said, "Your cousin is really too much. He actually impersonated you on Green Bubble and made a fool of me. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I asked Sister Yun for help. She found a student from East River Province at Blue Star University and had him teach him a lesson!"
"Oh, no wonder. So the reason Chen Ye was hospitalized last time was because of you."
"Didn't you say you didn't get along with your cousin?" Ruan Liusu asked Chen Lie.
"It's not that great. I even thought the people you hired didn't go easy on us," Chen Liedao.
"Well... that's how it is."
Chen Lie nodded and fell silent.
He scrutinized Ruan Liusu for a while, noting her fair skin, delicate nose, cherry lips, dark and lively eyes, and arched eyebrows. In terms of appearance, Ruan Liusu was simply impeccable. Despite her young age, she possessed extraordinary talent, and upon entering Starry Sky University, she might very well become one of the top geniuses on Blue Star. Judging from Ruan Liusu's attitude towards him, Chen Lie wasn't sure how much Ruan Liusu liked him, but she certainly had feelings for him.
If he had been favored by such Heavenly Pride Daughter in his previous life, Chen Lie would probably have laughed in his dreams.
However, Chen Lie had only been reborn for a little over half a year, and his martial arts were still in their initial stages. If he started talking about relationships too early, it would probably delay his training. Chen Lie quite admired Ruan Liusu; she had helped him repeatedly and even sought help from his maternal grandfather, the vice president of the Martial Artist Association, on his behalf. After a moment of contemplation, Chen Lie said, "My grandfather certainly wouldn't be so kind as to find me a marriage partner. He has always favored my second uncle's family."
However, we two are quite destined to meet. Otherwise, without interfering with our martial arts practice, how about we try getting to know each other first?
Ruan Liusu nodded repeatedly. If things were to go all the way up like this, she herself felt it would be a bit sudden. So she said, "My parents think the same way. We'll talk about everything after we finish Starry Sky University."
"At the age when one should be practicing martial arts, one should dedicate oneself wholeheartedly to it."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Ruan Liusu nodded with a smile.
She wondered to herself, what was her relationship with Chen Lie now? Were they just blind dates? Or something closer?
But her family all believe that she and Chen Lie have already established a relationship, and they even asked her to invite Chen Lie to Sunan Province during her vacation. What should she do then?
Ruan Liusu was troubled by this.
The airship was very fast, and Chen Lie returned to Blue Star University in just over ten minutes.
After disembarking from the airship, Chen Lie said goodbye to Ruan Liusu. It was already late, so Chen Lie went straight back to his Dormitory.
After cultivating his Mental Power all night, Chen Lie left his Dormitory early the next morning, found a Cultivation Room, and began the initial cultivation of the Wu Earth Spleen to nourish and warm the spleen.
After practicing all morning, Chen Lie went to the restaurant for lunch at noon.
Chen Lie ordered a meal and ate at the restaurant. While eating, he received a private message from a Green Bubble.
Xue Caini: "Junior Brother Chen Lie, the second-tier earth-attribute Martial Dao Rare Treasure you asked me to inquire about yesterday, I have found it. Blue Star University currently has one."
The price is 9500 Credit. If you want it, you can come to the Resource Category Building now.
Chen Lie immediately replied, "I don't have that many Credit right now. Can you wait a day while I earn Credit?"
I, Xue Caini: "This kind of high-level and rare resource may not be available after today."
If it's inconvenient for you right now, I can cover your Credit.
Don't let missed cultivation resources hinder your progress in martial arts.
Chen Lie: "Okay, I'm coming right away!"
Xue Caini: "Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the Resource Category Building."
After replying, Chen Lie put down the Communicator, quickly finished his meal, and then went to the Resource Category Building.
It took Chen Lie more than ten minutes to arrive at the Resource Category Building.
Chen Lie entered the Resource Category Building and immediately saw Xue Caini waving at him from Resource Category Building.
"Junior Chen Lie, over here!"
Chen Lie saw Xue Caini waving at him and immediately went over.
Beside Xue Caini was a gentle and intellectual woman, about twenty-two or twenty-three years old.
Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, the woman paused, then said to Xue Caini beside her, "Caini, so the person you were waiting for is this junior Chen." "Oh? You know junior Chen Lie?" Xue Caini asked curiously.
"Of course we know each other, how could we not?"
The woman smiled slightly and said, "Junior Brother Chen Lie, I joined the Genius Class on the day I was assisting with the Genius Class General Office. How could I not recognize you?"
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Liedao, "Junior Chen? You've only been here a few days, you haven't forgotten me, have you?"
Chen Lie said directly, "Of course not, Senior Pei Ning."
Xue Caini, "You two actually know each other!"
Pei Ning smiled and said, "Of course, Junior Brother Chen is the only student among dozens of freshmen with maxed-out talent and comprehension. It would be hard for me not to remember him."
Chen Lie said, "Senior Xue, didn't you say there was a second-tier earth-attribute Martial Dao Rare Treasure here?"
"Of course, it's here!"
Xue Caini led Chen Lie to the counter, where Pei Ning took out a rare Martial Dao Rare Treasure emitting a yellow glow and placed it on the counter's surface.
"This is a second-tier earth-attribute Martial Dao Rare Treasure called Star Elm Poria."
"Star Elm Poria?"
Chen Lie subtly scanned the area with his divine sense and immediately understood that this Second-Order Martial Dao Rare Treasure was an excellent resource for cultivating the spleen. "How is it? Junior Brother Chen Lie, does this earth-attribute Martial Dao Rare Treasure help your martial arts?" Xue Caini asked.
"Yes, that's exactly what I need." Chen Lie nodded.
"That's good. Since you're not available today, I'll cover your Credit."
As she spoke, Xue Caini took out a blue Credit Card and paid 9,500 points.
Before long, the staff packed up the Star Elm Poria and handed it to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie looked at Xue Caini and said, "Thank you, Senior Xue. Don't worry, I will definitely return these Credit within two days." Xue Caini shook her head. "No need, Junior. I no longer need the Credit from Blue Star University, so you don't need to return them."
Consider this Second-Order Martial Dao Rare Treasure a gift from me.
"You don't need it anymore? Why?" Chen Lie asked.
Pei Ning, who was standing next to her, interjected, "Because she won't be at Blue Star University anymore soon."
We've signed up for the Interstellar Allied Forces and passed the initial screening. If we pass the final screening, we'll head to Outer Stars and join the military. So, naturally, we won't need the Credit from Blue Star University."
"Oh? Joining the Interstellar Allied Forces? Is it the Canglan Army from the Canglan Star Domain?"
Pei Ning was somewhat surprised. "Junior brother is amazing, you even know about the Canglan Army."
However, the Canglan Army is the strongest interstellar army in the Canglan Star Domain. We are not yet qualified to join the Canglan Army, so we can only join the Interstellar Allied Forces first. If we can make more contributions in the Interstellar Allied Forces, we will have the opportunity to be promoted to the Canglan Army."
"Are all fourth-year students at Blue Star University required to join the Interstellar Allied Forces?" Chen Lie asked.
"That's not the case, but half of the fourth-year students at Blue Star University participate in the Interstellar Allied Forces every year, though it mainly depends on individual choice," Chen Lie said. "I understand. Since Blue Star University Credit are useless to you, surely Galactic Coin will be useful, right?"
If we ever meet again in Outer Stars, I will return the Galactic Coin to you directly.
"Alright!" Xue Caini smiled slightly, "Then I'll await your good news."
Chen Lie responded and was about to leave when Xue Caini called Chen Lie back again.
"Junior Chen Lie, your recommendation letter has been approved by your advisor."
You can take it with you to the Super Genius Class at the Thirteenth Campus.
It is said that geniuses from the other planets of the Five Stars of the Eastern Region will come to Blue Star to exchange martial arts techniques in the next two days.
You've become External Student in the Super Genius Class, and you'll also have the opportunity to encounter these alien martial arts at the Thirteenth Campus. Don't miss this opportunity! If you're unsure about the registration process, feel free to contact me or another teaching assistant, Song Zihang.
External Student in the Super Genius Class, you're not a formal student, so you're officially registered in our First Genius Class.
Xue Caini spoke, she handed the letter of recommendation to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie accepted the letter of recommendation, thanked him, and then left.
Seeing Chen Lie leave, Pei Ning sighed, "Max-level talent, and he's about to join the Super Genius Class so soon. He's definitely got the makings of Starry Sky University."
They are far superior to you and me. If we want to reach interstellar space, we can only join the Interstellar Allied Forces.
"If I can graduate from Starry Sky University, I'll have everything."
"Starry Sky University, it's not like we haven't been there before, we just got rejected."
Graduating from Starry Sky University is no easy feat. No matter how outstanding a genius is on Blue Star, their brilliance will be instantly buried in Starry Sky University.
"I still remember my first day at Starry Sky University. I felt like someone from the worst province on Blue Star had suddenly arrived in Lanjing," Xue Caini sighed.
Pei Ning remained silent for a long time.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to the Cultivation Room and eagerly unpacked the Star Elm Poria.
This second-tier earth-attribute Martial Dao Rare Treasure was the key to his cultivation of the Wu Earth Spleen.
He sat cross-legged on the cultivation platform and began to practice the Organ Refining method of the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.
With the blessing of the cultivation method, Chen Lie's internal energy and blood circulated rapidly.
After several days of initial training, Chen Lie's spleen strength had far exceeded that of ordinary people, making him capable of directly cultivating the Wu Earth Spleen.
His vital energy surged to the surface of his body, and the powerful vital energy transformed into the shape of a dragon, which swallowed the Star Elm Poria in one gulp.
The qi and blood, mixed with the medicinal power, returned to Chen Lie's body, and instantly Chen Lie felt a powerful force spreading within him.
Using the method of Organ Refining organs, he began to guide the power brought by the Star Elm Poria to cultivate his spleen.
Pure energy continuously flowed into Chen Lie's spleen, and gradually, his spleen began to emit a yellow light.
Five Viscera Wu Earth Spleen), quickly takes shape.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lie's blood and qi circulation gradually stopped.
He scanned his body with his divine sense and discovered that his internal Five Viscera were flashing with various colors of light.
The various colored lights are the golden light of the Vajra Lung), the green light of the Yimu Liver representing the Wood element), the blue and black light of the Ren Water Kidney), the red light of the Bing Fire Heart), and the yellow light of the Wu Earth Spleen).
"The Wu Earth Spleen is complete, marking the first stage of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm. The Viscera Refining Vajra is finished. Next, we will move on to the final stage of the first stage of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm: the cultivation of Pure Yang Precious Blood."
