Qin Ruoxi: This is so frustrating

Chen Liedao, "It's the first day, what's wrong?"

Qin Ruoxi smiled slightly and replied, "It's nothing, I was just asking."

Seeing this, Chen Lie ignored her and quickly finished the Spirit Medicine Meal in front of him.

"If you really have nothing to say, I'll be leaving!" Chen Lie said calmly.

"Then go ahead and leave. What? Do you think I have ulterior motives towards you?"

"I'm only here to look after you because of Zhixun!"

Qin Ruoxi blinked.

Without saying anything more, Chen Lie got up and left the restaurant.

He has already reached the Organ Refining Stage Completion, and Five Viscera have been successfully cultivated. It's time for him to begin the Blood Refining Stage.

So Chen Lie left the restaurant and went to the Resource Category Building in the Thirteenth Campus.

Just then, several young men suddenly blocked Chen Lie's path.

A boy with curly hair walked out, glanced at Chen Lie, and said in a provocative tone, "You're the freshman who just arrived today?" Chen Lie replied expressionlessly, "Yeah, what do you want?"

"We are External Student External Student program for the Super Genius Class Super Genius Class Lanjing Province. We heard that you didn't get in through the proper channels, but rather through connections. Is that true?" the curly-haired boy asked.

"Oh? Who told you that?"

"None of your business! Since you haven't offered any explanation, that means you've admitted it."

I am Yan Antao, External Student in the Super Genius Class. We people of Lanjing cannot stand your despicable behavior.

I'm warning you, you better obediently withdraw from the ranks of the Super Genius Class's External Student, or you'll be making enemies of all the External Student in Lanjing!

"What good would it do to be enemies with all the External Student in Lanjing?" Chen Lie asked.

Yan Antao sneered, "I can make it so you can't stay in the Thirteenth Campus, so you have to lie in bed for days every now and then." "Scare me? Make it so you can't stay here? Do you have that ability?" Chen Lie sneered.

Yan Antao frowned. "It seems you'll only seriously consider my words after you've suffered a bit?"

Chen Lie scoffed, "Who do you think you are? You think you can make me suffer?"

Yan Antao's expression changed instantly. "You're asking for death!"

After saying that, he leaped into the air and threw a punch, launching a decisive attack on Chen Lie.

The powerful qi and blood formed a qi and blood fist shadow.

Chen Lie was about to retaliate, he heard a loud "boom".

A barrier of qi and blood directly blocked the fist's shadow.

After the two types of qi and blood clashed, Yan Antao was forced to retreat repeatedly.

As they approached, Qin Ruoxi came between the two.

What's wrong with you all?

Upon seeing Qin Ruoxi, the expressions of the crowd from Lanjing Province instantly became much more respectful.

Many people greeted her, saying, "Sister Xi, is that you?"

Yan Antao stepped forward and asked, "Qin Ruoxi, do you know this person?"

"Yes, I know him! What? Did he offend you? Why did you attack him?" Qin Ruoxi asked.

Yan Antao said, "He's someone who got into the Super Genius Class External Student connections, and I can't stand it!"

"You don't like it? What's wrong with other people's business? Aren't you being too nosy?" Qin Ruoxi said.

At this moment, a man named Lanjing, External Student, walked over and whispered, "Sister Xi, it's like this."

Yan Antao's cousin, who Genius Class, was unable to enter the Thirteenth Campus and become External Student the Super Genius Class because she lacked the golden talent of Mental Power and failed to rank in the top 100 of the Blood Qi Ranking.

However, Blue Star University has a rule that anyone who can hunt down 3,000 Exotic Beast on the Northwest Frontline can become External Student in the Genius Class, but there is only one spot available each month for someone to be admitted as External Student in the Super Genius Class.

Yan Antao's cousin is probably close to achieving her goal of hunting down three thousand Exotic Beast.

A classmate just revealed that this month's spot was taken by the new student. Yan Antao checked with the Academic Affairs Office and found it was true, which is why he came to cause trouble for the new student.

"Oh, I see."

Qin Ruoxi nodded and said to Yan Antao, "Yan Antao, aren't you being a bit too petty? Why don't you just let your cousin wait another month?"

"Qin Ruoxi, you don't need to protect this newcomer. I've inquired, and this newcomer hasn't even met the requirement of hunting three thousand Exotic Beast in the Northwest. He got this spot purely through connections."

"How did someone who got into the Thirteenth Campus through connections, whose abilities are unknown? If he doesn't withdraw from his External Student and give up this spot, I will never let this go!" Yan Antao said bluntly.

"So, in the end, you still doubt Chen Lie's abilities, right?" Qin Ruoxi asked.

Yan Antao snorted coldly and remained silent.

Qin Ruoxi suggested, "How about this, you two go up to the Duel Platform and have a martial arts competition, so you can see if Chen Lie has the strength to join the Thirteenth Campus."

If you can beat Chen Lie on the Duel Platform as you would a regular Genius Class student, then I'll take care of your cousin's External Student status at the Thirteenth Campus!

"Are you telling the truth?" Yan Antao asked immediately.

"We're all from Lanjing, would I lie to you?" Qin Ruoxi said.

"Alright, get on the Duel Platform. If I can't beat him within ten moves, I'll avoid him from now on!"

Seeing Yan Antao agree, Qin Ruoxi looked at Chen Lie and said, "Hey, do you dare to go up to the Duel Platform?"

If you don't go, Yan Antao might keep causing you trouble. For Zhixun's sake, although I want to protect you, there are always things I can't cover.

Yan Antao is the top student in the Lanjing Genius Training Camp. Many of Lanjing's External Student will follow his lead and cause you trouble. If they harass you for a month or two, your martial arts progress may be affected."

After speaking, Qin Ruoxi observed Chen Lie for a few moments. Seeing that Chen Lie did not express his opinion, she immediately advised, "Yan Antao is only at the early Blood Refining Stage. With your combat experience, you might not be without hope of winning."

Chen Lie glanced at Qin Ruoxi: "You don't need to waste your breath, I'll take the Duel Platform."

As he spoke, he walked directly to a Duel Platform next to him.

Seeing Yan Antao also walk onto the opposite stage, Qin Ruoxi's lips curled up slightly.

She knew that Chen Lie must have always been the top student in the school, the province, and several provinces, and had probably never been defeated on his way to Blue Star University. Such a person must be extremely arrogant, thinking that even the King of Heaven is number one and he is number two.

This would make it difficult for her respected brother Jiang Yuan to recruit him, so she had to find a way to make Chen Lie experience a failure, so that he would realize that in the Super Genius Class full of geniuses, he was just an ordinary martial arts genius.

The whole thing happening right now was orchestrated by her.

With Chen Lie's letter of recommendation, there was no need for her to take up Yan Antao's cousin's spot, but she still arranged it that way.

Even when Yan Antao came to cause trouble, it was because she and Cheng Xiaoxiao secretly instigated it; otherwise, Yan Antao wouldn't have known about it so quickly. Yan Antao was a rival that Qin Ruoxi carefully arranged for Chen Lie to temper his arrogance.

Yan Antao, who was in the early Blood Refining Stage, had mastered two powerful martial arts techniques that complemented each other, making him even stronger than some people in the middle stage of Blood Refining Stage. She was worried that if she were to send someone in the Blood Refining Mid-Stage, Chen Lie would not dare to accept the challenge.

Chen Lie walked step by step to the center of the Duel Platform, and Yan Antao came to the opposite side of Chen Lie.

"You dare to Duel Platform, kid? I respect you. Don't worry, I'll take your kindness in return," Yan Antao said first. "No need, just give it your all."

"Heh heh, what arrogance! If I went all out, I could cripple you with a single move."

"Enough talk, make your move!"

Chen Lie waved his hand.

"Great, that's good!"

After Yan Antao nodded, he suddenly made his move.

He threw a punch, and the power of his blood and qi immediately created a wave of energy.

With a loud "boom," the force of the punch pierced the air and landed right in front of Chen Lie.

Yan Antao used only five-tenths of his strength for this first move.

Faced with the fierce punch, Chen Lie neither dodged nor avoided, but instead launched a counterattack with a palm strike.

"Boom!"

A blood-red Flood Dragon Phantom, over ten meters long, burst forth from Chen Lie's palm, instantly dissipating Yan Antao's fist force.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie leaped up and delivered more than a dozen blows to Yan Antao from his superior position.

The powerful palm strike, accompanied by a surge of qi and blood, left Yan Antao instantly stunned.

"This power... could he be at the Blood Refining Stage?"

The moment they clashed, Yan Antao immediately sensed that Chen Lie was no ordinary person and instantly unleashed a powerful martial arts technique.

"Air-Splitting Fist!"

Yan Antao unleashed a punch, his condensed blood and qi transforming into a guillotine blade tens of meters long, which slashed down at Chen Lie with a "whoosh".

Chen Lie condensed his qi and blood to block the attack.

With a "thud".

The massive guillotine blade, solidified with qi and blood, clashed with Chen Lie's qi and blood, and instantly dissipated without a trace.

Chen Lie lunged forward, unleashing over a hundred moves at Yan Antao in an instant.

Yan Antao's combat awareness was mediocre; he was already at a disadvantage in less than a hundred moves.

Seeing that Yan Antao's moves were becoming increasingly flawed, Chen Lie seized the biggest opening and unleashed a punch, sending Yan Antao flying.

With a loud "boom," Chen Lie pursued relentlessly, his powerful aura almost covering the entire Duel Platform, and his immense force of over 30,000 jin pounded down on Yan Antao's body.

Finally, Chen Lie kicked Yan Antao Yan Antao the chest, sending him flying off the Duel Platform and crashing to the ground with a thud. The battle was over.

The group of Lanjing members and Qin Ruoxi who had just Duel Platform to watch the match were instantly dumbfounded.

"How... how could this be? Did he break through to the Blood Refining Stage?"

Qin Ruoxi was stunned. A few days ago, during their fight, she clearly sensed that Chen Lie was still a little short of reaching the Blood Refining Stage. How could he have broken through to the Blood Refining Stage in just a few days?

Several External Student from Lanjing rushed over to visit Yan Antao.

At this moment, Yan Antao coughed up blood. He had been hit more than a dozen times and then kicked hard. He felt that almost all the bones in his body were broken, and the intense pain made him convulse.

"Yan Antao, how are you?"

Several External Student from Lanjing helped Yan Antao up.

"That new student named Chen Lie is also in the Blood Refining Stage..."

Yan Antao was immediately confused. With Chen Lie's abilities, he could have become External Student at the Thirteenth Campus even through the proper channels. Why was he still using connections?

"Never mind that for now. You look seriously injured. We'll take you to the doctor's office."

Several External Student from Lanjing helped Yan Antao to the doctor's office.

At the same time, they also glanced back at Chen Lie.

A freshman at the Blood Refining Stage is rare indeed. Even Yan Antao is no match for him. Among the students of Lanjing, there are probably only a handful of the strongest who can rival him. Chen Lie stepped off the Duel Platform, glanced at Qin Ruoxi, and said indifferently, "Just say what you want to say. There's no need for these petty tricks." After saying that, Chen Lie walked directly past Qin Ruoxi.

Qin Ruoxi's face was full of confusion. After Chen Lie had walked away, she couldn't help but say, "Ugh... Why is it so hard to do something for Brother Jiang Yuan? It's so annoying!"

How could Yan Antao be so useless? He's a veteran Blood Refining Stage, how could he lose so completely? It would have been better if both sides had suffered heavy losses.

And what about Chen Lie? Why did he break through to the Blood Refining Stage at this particular time?

At that moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao happened to arrive here.

Seeing Qin Ruoxi standing there in a daze with a complicated expression, Cheng Xiaoxiao asked, "What's wrong Ruoxi? Did you finish things?"

"What's done? It failed!" Qin Ruoxi said irritably.

"Didn't you text me saying everything was going smoothly? How come it suddenly failed?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked.

"It's all because Yan Antao was too useless. He lost on the Duel Platform, so that was the end of it."

"Impossible! Yan Antao's martial arts are top-tier SS-level. Even a mid- Blood Refining Mid-Stage would have a hard time defeating him. How could he have been defeated?" "That Chen Lie must have just broken through to the Blood Refining Stage Blood Refining Stage stage. His combat talent is abnormally strong. Now that he's broken through, Yan Antao is most likely no match for him."

"In that case, let's just forget about it. Let's not bother with this anymore. Let my cousin figure it out himself when he gets back," Cheng Xiaoxiao said.

"Sigh... The main problem is, he seems to have figured out that I used some underhanded tactics on him..."

"It's okay, so what if he figured it out? Are you afraid of him?" Cheng Xiaoxiao said.

"But I'm still worried that Brother Jiang Yuan will fail to recruit him. I've seen Chen Lie's martial arts resume."

Goodness, first place in the school's martial arts competition, first place in the Genius Training Camp, first place in the province, and first place in the Three-Province Martial Tournament. His resume is all first place, without even a second or third place.

Even after entering Blue Star University, he was always in the Key Class and Genius Class. Who could possibly surpass him in those classes?

Now that he's in the Super Genius Class, that good-for-nothing Yan Antao has given away another kill, which might make him feel that even the most powerful Thirteenth Campus of Blue Star University is nothing special.

If we don't curb his arrogance, he'll definitely become overconfident and never be willing to be subservient to anyone.

"If we try to recruit someone with such unrealistically high aspirations like this, Brother Jiang Yuan will most likely fail."

Cheng Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I admit that Chen Lie is indeed a martial arts genius."

However, there are differences even among geniuses.

My cousin is the Lanjing Martial Leader, ranked in the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking, the top ten of the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking, and the top ten of both rankings on Blue Star. He's not someone a mere Region-Level Genius compare to."
