The Pressure on Ruan Liusu

While processing the procedures for the Super Genius Class, Xue Caini frequently glanced at Chen Lie, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Chen Lie, were you really instructed by the Star Seeker for two days?"

Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.

What does Star Seeker look like?

Xue Caini was curious. The concept of Star Seeker something that ordinary people on Blue Star had never even heard of. It only circulated among the elite class of Blue Star. Because they were the decision-makers of the Canglan Star Domain, she found Star Seeker very mysterious.

Chen Lie knew that saying too much would lead to mistakes, so he didn't say anything more, "I've long forgotten about it; after all, it's been ten years."

"Too."

Xue Caini. According to Chen Lie, he received guidance from the Star Seeker ten years ago.

Ten years ago, Chen Lie was only seven or eight years old. He had only received two days of instruction, and ten years have passed; he must have long forgotten it.

Before long, Chen Lie's application for the Super Genius Class was completed.

Xue Caini received a card from the staff and handed it to Chen Lie: "Junior, this is your Super Genius Class student card. As a Super Genius Class student, you have many privileges. You'll find out more as you go along."

Furthermore, with your Super Genius Class student card, you can claim a bottle of Star Liquid every month.

"You probably don't know what 'Star Liquid' is, but let me tell you, it's something that can boost your Strength Value."

"I know about Star Liquid," Chen Lie asked. "Does that mean I can receive a bottle of Star Liquid every month?"

"Yes, students in the Super Genius Class have this privilege," Xue Caini nodded.

Chen Lie did some mental calculations. He had already used one bottle of Star Liquid. If he wanted to reach 15 times the Strength Value in the Blood-Qi Like Slurry stage, he would need at least 10 more bottles of Star Liquid.

One bottle of Star Liquid per month; to accumulate ten Star Liquid, it would take ten months, almost a year.

He couldn't afford to waste a year during the Blood Refining Stage, but even through the proper channels, he should be able to obtain extra Star Liquid. Therefore, he couldn't allow the authorities to use Star Liquid as compensation when they spoke with him.

While Star Liquid is precious, it already exists on Blue Star and can be obtained through effort. However, spiritual materials for cultivating Pure Yang Precious Blood are rare and not so easy to acquire.

Chen Lie took the card and immediately put it in his pocket.

"Junior, the two stars in the Eastern Region, Red Flame Planet and Shuimang Star, are currently exchanging skills. Tomorrow morning, Zheng Dongyang, the mentor of the Super Genius Class, will introduce you to the students of the Super Genius Class."

"If you can still stand out in the Super Genius Class, for example, by ranking in the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking, you will receive global resources," Xue Caini said.

Chen Lie nodded and said "I understand," then took his leave.

After leaving the general office of the Thirteenth Campus, Chen Lie saw that Ruan Liusu was still outside.

"Haven't you finished reporting for duty yet?"

"I've already registered," Ruan Liusu replied.

"Hmm." Chen Lie nodded, then asked, "Waiting for me?"

Ruan Liusu nodded, her face slightly flushed, and quickly said, "I wanted to ask you what your teaching assistant wanted to talk to you about." "It wasn't the teaching assistant who contacted me, it was the tutor of the Super Genius Class who contacted me, asked me some questions, and then admitted me to the Super Genius Class," Chen Lie said.

"You've already joined the Super Genius Class?"

Ruan Liusu was taken aback. What was going on? Her grandfather hadn't even started yet.

"Yes, the formalities have been completed," Chen Lie replied.

"It would be good to join the Super Genius Class sooner rather than later."

Chen Lie was the top student in Chuanzhong Province, so it was only natural that he should join the Super Genius Class. Therefore, Ruan Liusu was not surprised when Chen Lie suddenly entered the Super Genius Class.

"Did you wait for me specifically? Is there something you need?" Chen Lie asked in return.

"No... it's nothing."

Where is your friend?

I let her go first!

Chen Lie looked at Ruan Liusu, and he roughly understood what she meant.

"If you're free, how about coming with me to collect the Star Liquid?"

"I got into the Super Genius Class, and I get a bottle of Star Liquid every month."

"Okay, I know where to get the Star Liquid."

Ruan Liusu nodded and walked ahead, arriving with Chen Lie at the "Star Liquid Distribution Office" in the Thirteenth Campus.

Upon arriving at the "Star Liquid Distribution Office," Chen Lie asked, "Is there a special distribution point for this Star Liquid?"

"Of course, Star Liquid is the most precious strategic reserve resource on Blue Star. Generally, for people with Strength Value below six times the normal level, consuming one bottle of Star Liquid can increase their Strength Value by nearly 0.5 times. Even for people with Strength Value exceeding seven times the normal level, consuming one bottle of Star Liquid can increase their Strength Value by more than 0.3 times. However, Star Liquid is most effective the first time it is consumed. Last time, after consuming one bottle of Star Liquid, my Strength Value increased from 7.2 times to 7.5 times. If I continue to consume it, I'm afraid each bottle of Star Dollar Liquid will only increase my Strength Value by 0.1 times."

After taking three bottles, the effects of the Star Liquid will gradually disappear.

"Without Star Liquid, the number of people on Blue Star at the Qi Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm would most likely be halved," Ruan Liusu said.

Chen Lie knew the effects of Star Liquid; it was something extremely precious even in the Central Galactic Empire, let alone on Blue Star.

"The use of Star Liquid requires proper method. If done correctly, the first ten bottles can at least double one's Star Liquid Strength Value," Chen Lie said. "Really? If that's the case, the number of people at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm on Blue Star will probably double."

Chen Lie nodded. "If you obtain Star Liquid next time, you can come to me to learn how to use it."

"Good!"

Chen Lie walked directly into the "Star Liquid Distribution Office" and went to the counter. He said to the staff behind the counter, "Hello, I'm here to collect my Star Liquid!"

The staff member behind the counter glanced at Chen Lie and said, "It's already past mid-month, haven't you collected your Star Liquid yet?" "No, I just joined the Super Genius Class," Chen Liedao.

"Oh, I see. Okay, then show me your Super Genius Class student card."

Chen Lie took out his student card from his pocket and handed it to the staff member.

The staff member took the student card, checked it with the Optical Computer, and immediately obtained Chen Lie's information from the student card.

"Chen Lie, is that right?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, please come forward for identity verification."

Following the staff's directions, Chen Lie went to a recognition device next to the counter.

As the instrument's light swept across the area, a notification sound rang out.

"Real person identification successful. Name: Chen Lie, student in the Super Genius Class."

After the scan was completed, the staff member took out a small green porcelain bottle.

"This is Star Liquid."

Chen Lie took the Star Liquid, scanned it with his divine sense, and finding nothing amiss, left the "Star Liquid Distribution Office." Just as Chen Lie stepped out, Ruan Liusu Chen Lie approached him.

"Chen Lie, my grandfather just contacted me. He knows that I joined the Super Genius Class of the Thirteenth Campus External Student today, so he asked my cousin, whom I've never met, to send me something."

I also prepared a gift for you!

Chen Lie was taken aback and asked, "Preparing a gift for me? Why?"

Ruan Liusu said, "Why is there any reason? Isn't it only natural for elders to prepare gifts for younger generations?"

Chen Lie was completely baffled by Ruan Liusu's theory.

He was naturally unaware that, in Ruan Liusu's maternal grandfather's eyes, Chen Lie was already his grandson-in-law.

"Grandpa said that my cousin is a student in the Super Genius Class and has already reached the late Blood Refining Stage. She is waiting for me at the entrance of the inner square of the Thirteenth Campus. Shall we go together?" Ruan Liusu continued.

"Okay, let's go together."

Chen Lie nodded and went with Ruan Liusu to the inner square of the campus.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu arrived at the inner square of the Thirteenth Campus.

Inside the inner plaza, students from the Shuimang Star Martial Academy, the Red Flame Star Imperial Martial Academy, and Blue Star University were exchanging ideas and getting to know each other.

Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu had been there for quite a while, but there was no one at the entrance to the inner square. So Chen Lie asked, "Are you sure your cousin is waiting for you here?"

"Of course I'm sure. Could it be that she hasn't arrived yet?" Ruan Liusu was also puzzled when she saw that there was no one at the entrance.

At that moment, a beautiful young woman walked out from the inner square.

Upon arriving at the entrance to the inner plaza, the girl saw Ruan Liusu and Chen Lie, and a strange look immediately appeared in her eyes.

Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu both recognized this beautiful girl; she was Cheng Xiaoxiao, the girl who was with Qin Ruoxi during the competition in the Genius Class.

When Ruan Liusu recalled the beautiful girl's appearance, a strange look appeared on her exquisite face.

Her name is Cheng Xiaoxiao, could she be...?

Before Ruan Liusu could speak, Cheng Xiaoxiao asked first, "Are you Susu's cousin from Sunan Province?"

Ruan Liusu suddenly realized and said, "So you're the cousin Xiaoxiao that Grandpa was talking about!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao's face immediately showed an awkward expression. Last time, when they were strangers, she had a few words with Ruan Liusu. She never expected that this person would actually be her cousin. What a coincidence!

She had heard her grandfather say that Ruan Liusu's father, who was also her uncle from Sunan Province, had reached the peak of the Eighth-Order Innate Embryonic Breath Realm in martial arts, Extreme Realm Grandmaster, just one step away from becoming Extreme Grandmaster.

He's on the same level as Zheng Dongyang, the current mentor of the Super Genius Class; otherwise, my uncle wouldn't have gained my grandfather's approval.

It was precisely because Ruan Liusu's father was devoted to martial arts and disliked worldly affairs that he only held the nominal position of vice president of the Martial Artist Association in Sunan Province. In terms of strength, he could have easily been the Provincial Governor Southern Sunan Province.

Grandpa also repeatedly reminded her that her cousin Ruan Liusu had inherited her uncle's talent, but the martial arts environment she enjoyed in Sunan Province was not as good as hers; otherwise, her martial arts level might not be inferior to hers now.

Because of her grandfather's repeated instructions, Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't dare to be too rude. She looked at Chen Liedao, "Cousin Susu, this must be your husband, right?"

Chen Lie looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao in confusion. "What brother-in-law?"

Ruan Liusu quickly explained, "It's not even close to being settled yet, don't talk nonsense."

"Whatever you want!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was too lazy to care about their business, so she said, "Grandpa asked me to give you two things."

It's for you too, a very rare Blood Refining Blood-Congealing Crow, made from 1,400 years of experience used in blood refining.

The other item is for someone else; Grandpa should have told you about it.

It's a Spirit Medicine used for Blood Tempering, the juice ground from an 1800-year-old Body-Tempering Spirit Mushroom, which has miraculous effects on the first Blood Tempering.

Chen Lie's eyelids twitched. An 1800-year-old Spirit Medicine? So generous?

Furthermore, why did Ruan Liusu's maternal grandfather give himself something more valuable than something he gave his own granddaughter?

"Okay, please thank Grandpa for me."

Ruan Liusu accepted the two gifts from Cheng Xiaoxiao and quickly handed one bottle of the Body-Tempering Spirit Mushroom juice to Chen Lie, saying, "Chen Lie, keep this for now. You can use it for Blood Tempering once you've Blood Refining Stage Perfection."

Chen Lie accepted the Body Tempering Mushroom.

Cheng Xiaoxiao then said, "Cousin Susu, my grandfather asked me to tell you that when you and your husband visited for the first time last time, you didn't give us a heads-up, so he didn't have time to prepare a gift."

This is a belated gift; if I visit again, there won't be one."

"Understood!" Ruan Liusu nodded.

Cheng Xiaoxiao looked at Chen Lie: "Your name is Chen Lie, right, brother-in-law?"

"I am Chen Lie, but I'm not your cousin-in-law."

"Okay, well, I have a favor to ask..."

"What's up?"

Because of Ruan Liusu, Chen Lie now also has some feelings for Cheng Xiaoxiao.

"That... my good friend, Qin Ruoxi, you know her."

She was sent to the Northwest Frontline to hunt Exotic Beast because she concealed the fact that you had eight times the Strength Value from Principal Qin.

"Could you please ask Principal Qin to forgive Ruoxi once? After all, he was angry because of you," Cheng Xiaoxiao said.

"Is that so?" Chen Liedao, "I didn't even know about this, so I have no right to ask Elder Qin for help."

"... You don't need to ask Elder Qin. As long as Elder Qin asks you, can you just not deny it?"

Chen Lie thought for a moment. Although Qin Ruoxi had secretly used some underhanded tactics on him, they hadn't caused him any real harm. Considering that Cheng Xiaoxiao was Ruan Liusu's cousin, he nodded in agreement. "Okay."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Then I'll thank you on Ruoxi's behalf."

Then she said to Ruan Liusu, "Cousin Susu, I'm leaving now!"

Ruan Liusu hummed in agreement, but secretly pondered the matter several times.

Chen Lie actually has eight times the Strength Value?

This means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Chen Lie will most likely reach the Great Extreme Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage, Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm.

With Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit and the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm, the outside world is just too dazzling!

Ruan Liusu felt a sudden surge of pressure, and she even had a vague feeling that she was not good enough for Chen Lie.

"It seems I'll have to work even harder on my martial arts training from now on!"

Ruan Liusu has continuously studied the ten Crystal Pillar of the Second Campus, and her Blood Qi Value has reached nearly 7.8 times. She is only 0.2 times away from reaching eight times her Strength Value Strength Value.

It's highly likely that she will reach the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, but Chen Lie not only possesses eight times the Strength Value, but also a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit.

What she needs is to be on par with someone she likes. There can be differences between them, but not drastic ones. If the differences are too great, they won't have much to talk about when they're together.

Looking at Chen Lie, she sighed inwardly: How could someone who is the top student in Chuanzhong Province have such strong talent?

Surprisingly, it aroused a strange sense of urgency and pressure in her martial arts.

Many elders say that her talent is no less than that of the Martial Leader in the top ten provinces of Blue Star, but she is young and the martial arts environment she has been exposed to since childhood is not the best.
