Han Keke: I Like Getting Beaten Up

Chen Lie's attack did not pause for a moment. His palms moved so fast that afterimages appeared, and he instantly struck out dozens of palms, each palm shadow carrying more than 30,000 jin of force, which landed on Qin Ruoxi.

"Boom boom boom!"

Before Qin Ruoxi could even be shocked, she instantly sprang into action, unleashing a full-force counterattack as Chen Lie rained down palm strikes. The sounds of immense power colliding echoed continuously.

The moment they clashed, Qin Ruoxi was at a disadvantage.

She could clearly feel that, apart from strength, she was inferior to Chen Lie in every aspect, including combat skills, physical fitness, and physique.

Although she is powerful, at this level, mere strength cannot be equated with true power.

Physical strength and physical fitness, the explosive power of coordinated internal organs and bones, can unleash a force more than twice one's own strength.

Qin Ruoxi was knocked back dozens of steps by Chen Lie's palm strike. Her steps faltered, and she formed a hand seal, gathering her qi and blood between her palms.

"Flying Shuttle Striking Stream Hand, Ten Thousand Arrows Fired!"

Qin Ruoxi unleashed her strongest martial art, continuously firing arrows of qi and blood from her hands.

In an instant, countless arrows of qi and blood rained down on Chen Lie and exploded.

"Boom boom boom!"

Faced with Ten Thousand Arrows Fired, Chen Lie dodged and parried them simultaneously.

At the same time, he activated the "Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique," causing his blood and energy to surge out of his body.

With a "whoosh," countless arrows of Qin Ruoxi's vital energy were dispersed inside.

In an instant, Chen Lie threw another punch, engaging Qin Ruoxi in a fierce battle.

With her martial arts broken, Qin Ruoxi could only leap into the air and was forced to fight back. In the close combat, she was hit hard by Chen Lie's two punches in less than half a minute, which made her blood and qi surge and almost made her fall to the ground.

"How is this bastard so strong? There's absolutely no chance of him fighting back in close combat!"

Qin Ruoxi cursed inwardly, and during that moment, she received another slap to the chest.

At this moment, Qin Ruoxi was full of openings and struggling to defend herself.

She realized that Chen Lie could have ended the fight, but he insisted on dragging her along, throwing punches at her every now and then.

She immediately realized that Chen Lie was using his position for personal gain on purpose.

"That damned thief is so ruthless; he's deliberately messing with me."

Qin Ruoxi wasn't stupid. After being hit by Chen Lie again, she immediately distanced herself from Chen Lie and shouted, "I give up, stop fighting!"

Seeing this, Chen Lie had no choice but to stop.

Qin Ruoxi glared at Chen Lie with a hostile expression, snorted, and then turned and jumped off the Duel Platform.

Chen Lie won seven games in a row, and many students in the Super Genius Class noticed him.

"Isn't this the freshman named Chen Lie? Is he that good? Even Qin Ruoxi isn't a match for him?"

"In my opinion, he has already completed one Blood Tempering, and his Blood Qi Ranking should be able to move up a few more places."

"I've never heard of this person before when I was External Student. How come their level is so high?"

Successfully completing a Blood Tempering means you're in the top forty on the Blood Qi Ranking, right? With that kind of strength, you should have been in the Super Genius Class long ago, right? How come you were so unknown before?"

Chen Lie jumped down from the Duel Platform, Ruan Liuyun immediately came forward to greet him.

"Great! Chen Lie, you've made it into the top fifty of the Blood Qi Ranking. You're entitled to a bottle of Star Liquid as a reward."

Moreover, you will receive even more support when you enter Starry Sky University in the future.

In the next round, what rank on the Blood Qi Ranking are you planning to challenge?

Chen Lie said directly, "That was 43rd just now, next time let's challenge 33rd on the Blood Qi Ranking."

"Challenge 33rd place?"

Ruan Liuyun frowned slightly. "The person ranked 33rd on the Blood Qi Ranking has probably already undergone two Blood Tempering. Compared to someone who has only undergone one Blood Tempering, their physique and strength have improved tremendously. Are you sure you want to challenge the person ranked 33rd on the Blood Qi Ranking?"

"Yes, I already said I'm aiming for the top twenty today."

"Han Keke, who is ranked 20th, has undergone four Blood Tempering. Judging from your strength, you've probably only undergone one Blood Tempering, right? There's still a gap between you and Han Keke."

Didn't you see? Junior Xu Wanqing was defeated by Han Keke just now?

"She is her, and I am me. I still have Mental Power I haven't used yet," Chen Lie said.

Ruan Liuyun explained, "You don't know this, but someone Han Keke, who has undergone four Blood Tempering, has such a robust blood and qi that ordinary Mental Power attacks cannot break through Han Keke blood and qi barrier."

Those powerful individuals who have undergone seven or eight Blood Tempering, such as Yan Zheng and Shao Keyu, can directly dissipate the Mental Power attacks of Divine Sense Master by projecting their powerful blood and qi outwards.

"That means the Divine Sense Master is too weak."

"That's not wrong either. If someone is Divine Sense Master has cultivated to the Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit level, their Mental Power is extremely refined. Under the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, it is difficult for them to ignore such a Mental Power attack."

"If you want to try the challenge, then give it a shot. I'll send out the challenge."

After Ruan Liuyun finished speaking, she went to the staff.

Soon, Ruan Liuyun returned. "The challenge has been issued. Your next opponent is Yue Lin, who is ranked 34th on the Blood Qi Ranking and has reached the Blood Tempering Realm twice."

This Yue Lin is the Martial Leader of our Sunan Province this year. He is very strong. You must be careful when facing him."

"Knew!"

Chen Lie nodded.

On the Duel Platform, several more challenge matches ended, and the broadcast once again called out Chen Lie's name.

"On the second Duel Platform, Chen Lie challenged Yue Lin."

Please invite Chen Lie and Yue Lin to the stage for a martial arts competition.

When Chen Lie heard his name called over the loudspeaker, he immediately went up to the opposite stage.

Meanwhile, Yue Lin, Chen Lie's opponent, walked onto the Duel Platform from the other side and stood in front of Chen Lie.

He stopped in front of Chen Lie and glanced at Chen Lie.

"You, from such an impoverished province East River Province, have managed to reach the Blood Refining Stage Perfection and even begin Blood Tempering just two months after entering Blue Star University. Your aptitude is exceptional, surpassing everyone I've ever met."

It seems Ruan Liusu has good taste."

Chen Lie said expressionlessly, "What are you trying to do, trying to get close to me? Are you hoping I'll go easy on you?"

Yue Lin laughed and said, "Do I need you to show me mercy?"

"Remember to go all out later. I want to see just how strong you are."

At that moment, the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" rang out on the Duel Platform.

Yue Lin's blood and qi surged, solidifying into a tiger shape in his left hand and a leopard shape in his right, while thunderous roars echoed as he unleashed his power towards Chen Lie.

"Thunderclap Tiger-Leopard Fist"

With a flick of his wrist, Chen Lie unleashed a palm strike.

"Boom!"

A colossal, blood- Giant Flood Dragon, hundreds of meters long, collided with Yue Lin's Blood Tiger Leopard, creating a deafening roar.

The Super Genius Class students watching from Duel Platform, whose strength was insufficient to Blood Refining Perfection stage, instantly felt a tremendous impact and were forced to retreat more than ten steps.

"My god, how can these freshmen be so powerful? I remember Yue Lin has already Blood Tempering twice, right?"

"Yeah, he's abnormally strong. With that kind of ability, he should have joined the Super Genius Class much earlier!"

In the audience, Zou Mingjun, the Martial Leader in Xiangguang Province, frowned.

A little over a month ago, he had fought Chen Lie in the Sumeru Illusion Realm. At that time Chen Lie was only in the Organ Refining Stage and won by relying on his Mental Power. Why has he improved so much in such a short time?

On the Duel Platform, after a brief exchange, Chen Lie and Yue Lin engaged in a fierce fight.

Yue Lin possessed abundant qi and blood, making him far stronger than Chen Lie. Although Chen Lie was much weaker in strength, his cultivation of his tendons, Five Viscera, and internal organs was almost perfect. His powerful physique, combined with his physical qualities and his mastery of qi and blood, was enough to make up for these differences.

In less than a minute, Chen Lie and Yue Lin had fought dozens of rounds. He kept waving his hands, and his powerful blood and qi exploded like missiles.

"Boom boom boom!"

Chen Lie unleashed his full power, repeatedly slamming his fists, each carrying tens of Myriad Jun Great Strength, down on Yue Lin. He had cultivated Tough Skin Resilient Flesh, making him far more resistant to blows than ordinary Blood Refining Stage.

Yue Lin was also shocked by the combat power displayed by Chen Lie, and immediately went all out, continuously unleashing martial arts techniques above S-rank.

In less than ten minutes, the two had played thousands of moves.

During the fight, Chen Lie seized the opportunity, trading a minor injury for a major one. He half-dodged and half-avoided, but still took a palm strike from Yue Lin. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he gathered all his strength and slammed his fist hard into Yue Lin's chest.

With a deafening boom, the solidified dragon of qi and blood struck Yue Lin Yue Lin directly, sending him flying.

Chen Lie pressed his advantage, immediately leaping forward and delivering a heavy kick to Yue Lin.

Yue Lin was trying to steady himself, but Chen Lie kicked him, sending him flying and falling off the Duel Platform.

The students in the Super Genius Class watching below were all shocked.

"Holy crap, are you kidding me? Just what level is this freshman named Chen Lie at?"

"Is he about to achieve a ten-game winning streak? How many times has he used his Blood Tempering?"

"It looks like he's undergone a Blood Tempering, but how come his combat strength is so high?"

Yue Lin was kicked off the Duel Platform by Chen Lie, and he was incredulous. His Sunan Province had lost to East River Province?

Putting aside other factors, the population of Sunan Province is more than twice that of East River Province, and in terms of the quality of talent, it is impossible for them to be inferior to Chen Lie. However, a defeat is a defeat.

Indeed, heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river...

Seeing Chen Lie walk down from the Duel Platform, Ruan Liuyun was extremely shocked.

Chen Lie actually won against the Martial Leader of Sunan Province. He must be from a poor province, right?

She felt that if Chen Lie worked hard, he could easily get into the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking.

At this moment, several members of Ruan Liuyun's Assistant Instructor Group, including Xu Wanqing, Xia Ziying, Wang Tian'en, and Dong Jingtian, had completed the challenge and were standing beside Ruan Liuyun.

Seeing Chen Lie's performance, Xia Ziying couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, really? How is Chen Lie so strong?"

Xu Wanqing also said, "The strength he just displayed should be no less than my strength a month ago?"

"Is he really that strong? No wonder, that explains why Princess Zhu Jingshu from Red Flame Planet treated him with such courtesy."

"Which Red Flame Planet Princess? Is she the one who won the martial arts competition against Han Keke?" Xu Wanqing asked hurriedly.

"Yes, that's the one. This time, the princess from Red Flame Planet should be the only one who came, right?" Xia Ziying said.

Ruan Liuyun Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, your strength really surprised me!"

You're now several hundred points away, Yue Lin, and you're already ranked 33rd on the Blood Qi Ranking Blood Qi Ranking. The difference in strength between the students ranked three or four places ahead and behind on the Blood Qi Ranking!

"How about you try challenging the 30th place on the Blood Qi Ranking?"

Chen Lie shook his head and said, "There's no need for such trouble. I already said that I want to be in the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking today, so let's just challenge the highest-ranked people as much as possible."

Xu Wanqing said, "Among the top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking, the weakest is Han Keke. Han Keke has also undergone four stages of Blood Tempering. You just faced an opponent who had undergone two stages of Blood Tempering and it took you so much effort. How can you deal with someone who has undergone four stages of Blood Tempering?"

Don't tell me you held back just now, that you didn't use your full strength."

Chen Lie ignored Xu Wanqing and instead said to Ruan Liuyun, "I'm not just saying this casually. Help me challenge the 23rd place on the Blood Qi Ranking."

Ruan Liuyun said, "Since you're so eager to experience the power of the top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking, then I'll just help you challenge Han Keke, who's ranked in the top twenty."

Han Keke is ranked 20th on the Qi and Blood Qi Ranking. The Blood Qi Ranking Challenge has a rule that if a person can win five consecutive matches, they can ignore the rule that they can only challenge people ranked 10 places higher than themselves on the Blood Qi Ranking.

Among the top twenty on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking, Han Keke is probably the weakest. You might be able to hold your own for a few moves against her, but against anyone else, you'd likely be defeated in a single move."

"Sister Yun, what you're saying isn't quite right. Judging from his strength just now, he would have been defeated in one move if he had run into Han Keke," Xu Wanqing said.

Ruan Liuyun simply smiled and did not reply.

Chen Lie nodded. "Alright, let's challenge the twentieth place on the Blood Qi Ranking!"

"Good!"

After Ruan Liuyun finished speaking, she turned around and went to the staff member hosting the Blood Qi Ranking Challenge.

The challenge matches were being held simultaneously on three Duel Platform, and most of the students who were supposed to take on the challenge have now finished their matches.

So, as soon as Ruan Liuyun returned, the broadcast came on.

On the third Duel Platform, Chen Lie challenged Han Keke.

"Chen Lie and Han Keke, please ascend the third Duel Platform for your duel."

The broadcast sounded three times in a row, and Chen Lie had already stepped onto the Duel Platform.

On the other side, Han Keke, with her cute bun hairstyle, yawned and lazily walked from the other side of the Duel Platform to face Chen Lie.

"Oh? You're the one challenging me?"

Looking at Chen Lie, Han Keke's tone was somewhat surprised, and then she said, "I knew it, you must have some skills, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to secretly steal a chicken during the competition for the Northwest General Star."

You know perfectly well that I'm angry with you and will definitely teach you a lesson when I get the chance, yet you still want to challenge me? Are you looking for a beating?

"I think you're the one looking for a beating."

Upon hearing Chen Lie's arrogant words, Han Keke burst into laughter. After laughing for a while, she raised an eyebrow at Chen Lie and said contemptuously, "Yes, you're right. I like being tortured."

However, I prefer to be abused by someone stronger than me. If you're not skilled enough to beat me up, then you'd better watch out, or you'll get a beating from me.

If you have the strength, feel free to abuse me; I won't utter a sound.

Conversely, if you're not strong enough and I beat you up, you're not allowed to complain to the mentor, how about that?"

"Okay, I'll grant your request!" Chen Lie said calmly.

"It's a deal then. Be a man and don't go back on your word!"

As Han Keke was speaking, the announcement "The martial arts competition begins" rang out.

Because Chen Lie had taken away the 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins from the Northwest General Star, Han Keke was filled with indescribable anger towards Chen Lie. Now that she had the opportunity to teach him a lesson, she naturally wouldn't hold back.

The instant the broadcast started, Han Keke's blood and energy surged wildly, and she unleashed more than a dozen palm strikes with her fair hands.

"Boom boom boom!" A deafening roar, like thunder, resounded.

"Blood Grandshadow Palm - Rainbow Pierces the Sun, Die!"

Han Keke pushed out with both palms, and a huge palm print of blood and qi instantly smashed towards Chen Lie.

Duel Platform, Xu Wanqing was shocked. "Has Han Keke gone mad? She went all out from the very first move? She didn't even use this much power when she fought me earlier."

"Someone who has Blood Tempering three times or less will be bedridden for at least half a month after taking such a blow."

Ruan Liuyun, standing beside the Duel Platform, also had his brows furrowed.

Han Keke's palm strike was incredibly powerful; Chen Lie swayed slightly, narrowly avoiding it.

Chen Lie has only undergone one Blood Tempering and Blood Refining Mid-Stage. In terms of martial arts alone, he can fight on equal terms with someone who has undergone two Blood Refining Blood Tempering and is at the peak of Blood Tempering head-on.

He channeled his Mental Power, and the power of the First Star God Jing Wood Tapir, instantly manifested. Jing Wood Tapir opened its mouth wide, and a Mental Power attack instantly struck Han Keke.

Just as Han Keke leaped up and was about to launch a second attack, she suddenly felt a roar in her mind.

Her vision went white, and she instantly lost consciousness.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lie unleashed a punch.

With a deafening roar, the hundred-meter-long, blood-red Giant Flood Dragon, carrying tens of thousands of pounds of force, crashed directly into Han Keke.

Han Keke was struck by tremendous force, and her eyes instantly cleared. She took two steps back, and her powerful qi and blood directly absorbed most of the force of Chen Lie's punch.

"What the hell is this? Mental Power attack?"

Before Han Keke react, a sharp pain shot through her mind.

'boom'

The roar echoed in her mind again, and she felt a splitting headache, so painful that she cried out "Ah!"

Chen Lie charged forward, throwing dozens of punches at Han Keke in an instant.

"Boom boom boom!"

Han Keke snapped back to reality and saw Chen Lie throwing punches. She unleashed a palm strike, her powerful qi and blood solidifying, and a blood-red rainbow shot out from her palm.

After repelling Chen Lie with a single palm strike, Han Keke felt a sharp pain in her mind once again.

"Again?"

"Damn it! Why are Divine Sense Master I've encountered lately so weird? They can launch Mental Power attacks with ease? Don't they have any cooldown periods?"

Han Keke cursed loudly. In another brief moment of distraction, she was attacked dozens more times by Chen Lie. In just a short time, she was covered in wounds.

"Damn it! This damned Divine Sense Master, die!"

After recovering from another Mental Power attack, Han Keke felt extremely aggrieved. She mobilized all her blood and qi, unleashing the strongest power she could unleash after Fourth Blood Tempering. She leaped into the air and, from her high vantage point, waved her fair hands repeatedly at Chen Lie.

"Boom boom boom!"

Countless palm prints of qi and blood rained down on Chen Lie, leaving Chen Lie with almost no way to avoid them.

Chen Lie's "Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique" was used in an absurd battle, with his qi and blood forming a large net in front of him, allowing him to withstand the palm strike from Han Keke in the air.
