Blood Qi Ranking, back-to-back battles

After the broadcast ended, people entered all three Duel Platform simultaneously.

Chen Lie glanced towards the first Duel Platform and saw Yan Zheng and a fair-skinned boy walk onto the Duel Platform.

That fair-skinned boy must be Shao Keyu.

The students who hadn't yet been called over crowded around the first Duel Platform, eager to watch this martial arts competition, which was second only to the top ten on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking.

Seeing that the first Duel Platform was crowded with people, Chen Lie did not push his way through, but instead looked at the other two martial arts matches.

Seeing Ruan Liuyun watching the battle from Duel Platform, Chen Lie went to the third Duel Platform.

On the third Duel Platform, Han Keke and Xu Wanqing Shuangshuang stepped onto the Duel Platform, staring at each other with hostility in their eyes.

Han Keke spoke first, "Xu Wanqing, why are you like a leech, clinging to me the only time?"

"Challenge me? Who gave you the courage?"

Xu Wanqing sneered, "Nonsense! Who do you think you are? What's wrong with challenging me? Today I'm going to defeat you and pull you out of the top 20!"

Han Keke chuckled a few times, pointed her little finger at Xu Wanqing, and said disdainfully, "You're really something, having such a pipe dream, daring to defeat me."

Think about how many times you've lost to me in our previous inter-provincial matches, how many times you've humiliated me, yet you're still like an unkillable cockroach. Your perseverance is truly astonishing."

Xu Wanqing's face darkened. "Don't be too smug, you'll be crying later!"

"Heh heh, then let me see what you've got to rely on!"

The moment Xu Wanqing and Han Keke began talking, the tension was palpable, and the two immediately assumed fighting stances.

Ruan Liuyun, sitting in the audience, murmured, "I wonder if Wanqing can win this time and successfully secure twentieth place."

"Probably not!"

Upon hearing the voice, Ruan Liuyun immediately turned around and asked, "Chen Lie, why aren't you watching the martial arts match between Shao Keyu and Yan Zheng on the first Duel Platform?"

"There's nothing interesting about that level of martial arts competition!" Chen Liedao.

"You look down on this level of combat? As far as I know, Yan Zheng and Shao Keyu are only one step away from the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage. Even if they can't break through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi on Blue Star, they will definitely be able to break through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi within a month after entering Starry Sky University."

They are already the most outstanding martial arts geniuses on Blue Star, you wouldn't even consider them worthy of your attention, would you?

Chen Lie shook his head and remained silent.

Ruan Liuyun subconsciously thought that Chen Lie had become arrogant. After all, Martial Leader, the Three-Province Martial Champion, and one of the top students in the Genius Class of Blue Star University. With so many experiences, his ambition must be boundless.

She had already considered Chen Lie as her brother-in-law and really wanted to correct this shortcoming of Chen Lie. However, in the end, she and Chen Lie were only of the same generation, and it was not her place to lecture him. She could only wait and see.

"You just said that it would be difficult for junior Xu Wanqing to beat Han Keke. What's your basis for that?"

"The basis for this is that Xu Wanqing has no advantage in terms of realm, physique, or qi and blood; in fact, she is at a disadvantage. Unless her actual combat ability is exceptionally strong, there is little chance of her winning," Chen Lie said.

"Hasn't Junior Sister Wanqing already completed four rounds of Blood Refining?" Ruan Liuyun asked.

"The other one too!"

Ruan Liuyun looked at Han Keke on the stage and asked Chen Lie with surprise and doubt, "You can see through Han Keke's realm?"

Chen Lie nodded. "I am Divine Sense Master. With a sweep of my divine sense, I can analyze her cultivation level just by looking at the strength of her blood and qi."

"Divine Sense Master has this kind of ability? Xia Ziying in our group is also Divine Sense Master, and she's ranked 17th among Apprentice Divine Sense Master Divine Sense Master, but she doesn't seem to have this ability?"

"Her mental manipulation techniques are utterly terrible; of course she doesn't have that ability."

Chen Lie's Mental Power manipulation technique was developed through thousands of lectures given by renowned teachers at the Taia Star Province Martial Arts Academy, coupled with decades of consistent practice.

In this respect, Chen Lie was confident that he was no less than the top Mental Power geniuses of the Central Galactic Empire, let alone the Divine Sense Master on Blue Star.

Ruan Liuyun nodded, skeptical of Chen Lie's conclusion, and looked towards the Duel Platform.

At that moment, the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" came over the loudspeaker.

Xu Wanqing and Han Keke immediately clashed.

Xu Wanqing used all her strength as soon as she made her move, and her powerful blood and qi surged, creating a hurricane around her.

"Take this!"

Xu Wanqing struck out with a palm, her blood and qi almost solidifying into a tangible form, and a palm print instantly shot towards Han Keke.

"Boom!"

A loud bang rang out as Han Keke raised her hand to take Xu Wanqing's palm strike head-on. The force of the recoil caused both of them to stagger back two steps.

"No wonder you're so arrogant. Look at this power, you've already secretly completed Fourth Blood Tempering."

Unfortunately, I also completed my Fourth Blood Tempering yesterday.

Seeing Han Keke's grinning face, Xu Wanqing felt even angrier. Her feud with Han Keke was nothing new.

He scoffed, "So what if you've completed Fourth Blood Tempering? I'll still defeat you."

"Hmph, what utterly arrogant!"

Han Keke snorted coldly and rushed forward with lightning speed, unleashing dozens of moves at Xu Wanqing in an instant.

In just half a minute, the two had exchanged hundreds of blows.

Around the Duel Platform, surging blood and qi formed waves of energy, with two different forces constantly colliding.

After blocking Han Keke's attack with a single move, Xu Wanqing swung her arm, and countless afterimages appeared in front of her in an instant.

"Behold my SSS-level martial art, Rainbow Pierces the Sun!"

"Boom!"

Xu Wanqing's palms moved erratically, and the qi and blood between her hands formed a tangible rainbow, which she then swung towards Han Keke.

Han Keke's moves were fierce, and she also displayed the Three S martial arts she was proficient in.

"Star-Shadow Luo-Breaking Palm!"

The two martial arts techniques displayed their power, and a violent explosion occurred on the Duel Platform as they clashed.

Neither Han Keke nor Xu Wanqing held back, each unleashing their strongest martial arts techniques. In less than five minutes, they had already fought hundreds of rounds.

Xu Wanqing's overall strength was slightly inferior to Han Keke's, and she was gradually suppressed by Han Keke, beginning to fall into a disadvantageous position. Faced with Han Keke's fierce attacks, she could only passively defend and had no resistance to counterattack.

During the battle, Han Keke sensed that Xu Wanqing was all bark and no bite, so she became even more ruthless, unleashing tens of thousands of pounds of force from her small hands, the sound of her blood and qi exploding was deafening.

After nearly a hundred more moves, under a fierce attack, Han Keke quickly forced Xu Wanqing to the edge of the Duel Platform. She spun her hands and instantly unleashed dozens of Star Shadow Palms, a dense array of palm prints striking Xu Wanqing at once.

With a series of explosions, Xu Wanqing was knocked off the Duel Platform with a "bang" by the continuous force of the palm strike.

Seeing this, Ruan Liuyun, Duel Platform, quickly jumped up and caught Xu Wanqing.

On the Duel Platform, Han Keke sneered, "With such a strong aura, I thought you had some hidden trump card! It scared my heart so much, but it turns out you were just bluffing."

Xu Wanqing, I advise you to stop bothering me next time. Think about it, in the past six months, we've had no less than ten battles, and every single one of them ended in a humiliating defeat for you.

How could you be so stubborn? If I were you, I definitely wouldn't go looking for trouble; I'd go out of my way to avoid you."

Xu Wanqing was caught by Ruan Liuyun, thus avoiding a fight. Before she could even thank him, she heard Han Keke's provocation on the stage and immediately shouted angrily, "Han Keke, don't be so smug! I'll make you pay next time!"

Han Keke shrugged and jumped off the Duel Platform with a helpless expression.

Seeing Han Keke leave, Xu Wanqing's anger slowly faded. She looked at Ruan Liuyun beside her and said dejectedly, "Sister Yun, I failed. I didn't make it into the top twenty."

Ruan Liuyun shook her head and said, "Don't be discouraged. The gap between you and Han Keke isn't actually that big."

"With a little more effort, we can definitely do it next time. Let's try challenging the 21st place on the Blood Qi Ranking!"

Xu Wanqing nodded and said, "Han Keke's combat talent is far superior to mine. Unless my cultivation level is higher than hers, I definitely won't be her match. But no matter how hard I try, Han Keke's martial arts progress is no slower than mine."

Ruan Liuyun didn't say much about it.

Chen Lie said, "It's not that your combat strength is weaker than your opponent's, but rather that your cultivation at the Organ Refining Stage was not up to par, resulting in your physique, physical qualities, and the purity of your blood and qi being inferior to your opponent's. That's why you were defeated, and it has nothing to do with combat strength."

Xu Wanqing glared at Chen Lie: "My Organ Refining Stage is inadequate? What do you, someone who has just entered the Blood Refining Stage, know? You're just spouting nonsense here?"

Seeing that Xu Wanqing didn't believe him, Chen Lie didn't say anything more.

Ruan Liuyun was somewhat surprised. She then remembered that Chen Lie had guessed Xu Wanqing would fall from grace, and now she had actually lost. Could it be that he really had such foresight?

After Xu Wanqing and Han Keke's battle ended, the broadcast sounded again, announcing the start of the next challenge match.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the result of the battle between Yan Zheng and Shao Keyu on the first Duel Platform was also announced: Yan Zheng was defeated.

As the challenge matches were taking place simultaneously on three Duel Platform, Chen Lie's name was quickly called out over the loudspeaker.

"On the first Duel Platform, Chen Lie challenges Wu Feixia."

"Please Chen Lie and Wu Feixia, step onto the first Duel Platform for your duel."

Upon hearing his name called over the loudspeaker, Chen Lie immediately set off for the first Duel Platform.

"Chen Lie, keep it up!"

With your strength, it's possible for you to break into the top 100 of the Blood Qi Ranking Blood Qi Ranking in this challenge.

Ruan Liuyun cheered Chen Lie on.

Chen Lie nodded and said, "After I win, immediately help me challenge the 80th person."

Ruan Liuyun was taken aback, wondering why Chen Lie was being so kind to her, but she didn't say anything more, simply nodding and saying, "Okay!"

Chen Lie walked straight to the first Duel Platform.

Opposite Chen Lie, a young, spirited girl with short hair walked onto the opposite stage from the other side and stood opposite Chen Lie.

This spirited and capable girl is Chen Lie's rival, Wu Feixia.

At this moment, Wu Feixia sized up Chen Lie and said leisurely, "Chen Lie? You're the newcomer in the Super Genius Class, right?"

"The Blood Qi Ranking Challenge immediately chose me as their opponent. What? Do you think I'm weak and easy to deal with?"

"They're all the same," Chen Liedao.

Wu Feixia found it strange and asked, "What do you mean?"

At that moment, the announcement "The duel begins" rang out on the Duel Platform.

Wu Feixia snapped back to reality, preparing for battle, and said, "A freshman dares to challenge me so directly? Today, I'll show you what a top 100 expert on the Blood Qi Ranking is like."

Just as Wu Feixia was about to make a move, she saw a Giant Flood Dragon, nearly a hundred meters long and made of solidified blood and qi, rushing towards her.

With a deafening roar, despite Wu Feixia's use of her qi and blood to defend herself, the immense force still caused Wu Feixia internal organs to tremble violently, and her qi and blood defense wall was instantly shattered by the crimson Giant Flood Dragon.

"Such immense power!"

Wu Feixia exclaimed in surprise. She knew she had met her match. This kind of power was not just brute force, but a tremendous force that could be instantly unleashed by the coordination of physical fitness, physique, internal organs, and tendons. It was something that mere brute force could not compare to.

"Hmm? That's not right!"

Wu Feixia's heart skipped a beat. She could feel that the power that had shattered her blood and qi defenses had not faded away, but still had a very strong residual force.

After Chen Lie's punch unleashed Giant Flood Dragon that circled once, it shrank considerably in size, but once again charged towards Wu Feixia.

"Boom"

Another loud bang! Wu Feixia was thrown off the Duel Platform by the shockwave. Just as she was about to fall to the ground, a woman in her early twenties leaped forward and caught Wu Feixia.

Upon seeing the woman who caught her, Wu Feixia immediately exclaimed, "Senior Sister Shang..."

"Stop talking. His blood and qi are solidified, which is a sign of successful Blood Tempering. The gap between you and him is too great. Your defeat is not unjust at all."

The woman said that she was Wu Feixia's instructor.

"Quenching... Blood Tempering?"

Wu Feixia was stunned, looking at Chen Lie on the stage in disbelief.

How can a freshman in Super Genius Class be so powerful? He's actually someone who Blood Tempering?

After the results were announced over the loudspeaker, Chen Lie walked off the Duel Platform.

Ruan Liuyun looked at Chen Lie, shocked. "Chen Lie, you've already started Blood Tempering?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "I plan to get into the top 20 of the Blood Qi Ranking today. Also, my Strength Value has increased eightfold, so you can claim a reward of 20,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins."

Eight times the Strength Value? Or has he already entered the Blood Tempering Realm? Doesn't that mean there's a great chance he can advance to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi before entering Starry Sky University?

Ruan Liuyun was pleasantly surprised for her cousin. Her grandfather was truly insightful, choosing such a promising husband for her.

"Wait here, I'll arrange for you to challenge the person ranked 80th on the Blood Qi Ranking."

Chen Lie nodded and glanced at the Duel Platform.

On the Duel Platform, three matches were being held simultaneously, making the Blood Qi Ranking Challenge extremely efficient.

A short while later, Ruan Liuyun returned and gave Chen Lie a gesture of success.

A short while later, Chen Lie was called up from the opposite stage.

This time, Chen Lie's opponent was a boy named Yang Guanghui, who was at the Blood Refining Mid-Stage. Chen Lie blasted him off the Duel Platform with a single punch.

After several rounds, Chen Lie quickly rose to 52nd place on the Blood Qi Ranking.

This time, Ruan Liuyun helped Chen Lie challenge Qin Ruoxi, who ranked 43rd on the Blood Qi Ranking.

On the second Duel Platform, Chen Lie challenged Qin Ruoxi.

Please invite Chen Lie and Qin Ruoxi to the second Duel Platform for their duel.

After hearing the broadcast, Chen Lie went straight to the Duel Platform.

Meanwhile, his opponent Qin Ruoxi, also stepped onto the stage from the other Duel Platform and came to face Chen Lie.

Facing Chen Lie directly on the Duel Platform, Qin Ruoxi was somewhat shocked. "You just entered the Super Genius Class, how did you manage to get this far?"

You're qualified to challenge me; you've at least defeated the person ranked 53rd on the Blood Qi Ranking. I remember, just over half a month ago, you were only at the Organ Refining Stage, right?

"Ranked in the fiftieth place on the Blood Qi Ranking, even if you're not at the Blood Refining Stage Perfection, you're at least at the late stage of Blood Refining. How did you win?"

"It was a normal win," Chen Liedao.

"Normal?"

Qin Ruoxi was somewhat skeptical. When they first met, she had only used one-tenth of her strength, and it was enough to give Chen Lie a run for his money. How could her strength have increased so much in such a short time?

At that moment, the announcement "The duel begins" rang out from the Duel Platform.

Chen Lie moved suddenly, as if teleporting, and instantly appeared in front of Qin Ruoxi.

"Bump!"

Chen Lie threw a punch, and his powerful blood and qi exploded instantly.

"Um?"

Startled by the powerful surge of energy, Qin Ruoxi quickly raised her hand to retaliate.

"Boom!"

A loud bang rang out, and Qin Ruoxi was so shocked that she took several steps back. She raised her small face and looked at Chen Lie with disbelief.
