Unleashing a mental illusion-was it a Dark Black Dragon?

Duel Platform, Xu Wanqing watched the battle unfold and her mouth formed an "o" shape in surprise.

She had tried her best before but hadn't been Han Keke to this point. Han Keke looked like she was covered in bruises, and even her martial arts uniform was torn in many places, revealing large areas of her fair skin.

"Sister Yun, what's Chen Lie's background?"

Ruan Liuyun was stunned. She really didn't expect that Chen Lie's Mental Power was so high. Judging from the Mental Power methods Chen Lie was currently using, the Consciousness Spirit he cultivated as a Divine Sense Master was probably a top-level Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit.

Possessing top-tier Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit, this is already in no way inferior to the Blue Star Ten Elites.

"Chen Lie... he is a Divine Sense Master, an extremely outstanding Divine Sense Master."

"I know, isn't Xia Ziying also a Divine Sense Master? She's even ranked seventeenth on the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking, but I haven't seen her as capable as this!" Xu Wanqing said.

Xia Ziying rolled her eyes at Xu Wanqing, feeling hurt.

"Although Xia Xuemei's Sea of Consciousness is nearly two million, the spiritual Consciousness Spirit she cultivated as a Divine Sense Master is only the most ordinary Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit."

According to the Mental Power Department, the strength of Sea of Consciousness Divine Sense Master one's power, and the Consciousness Spirit is also one's weapon.

Without the right weapons, even the greatest strength will be difficult to unleash.

Do you remember? Jiang Yuan, the Lanjing Martial Leader and sixth on the Blood Qi Ranking, cultivated himself into a top-tier Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit. During his third Blood Tempering, he was able to defeat an opponent who had undergone seven Blood Tempering using only his Mental Power.

"Of course I know Jiang Yuan. He was the first person on Blue Star to break through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage, and he was in the top ten on both the Blood Qi Ranking and the Divine Sense Master Ranking."

"Chen Lie can't possibly be in the top ten of the Divine Sense Master Ranking, can he? The difference between three Blood Refining Blood Refining and seven Blood Refining is about the same as the difference between one Blood Refining stages. Han Keke?" Xu Wanqing asked.

"Let's see!" Ruan Liuyun was also unsure.

Although Chen Lie has already undergone one Blood Tempering, he is still only in the Blood Refining Mid-Stage. Even with the bonus from one Blood Tempering, there is still a considerable gap between him and someone who has undergone Fourth Blood Tempering to reach the Blood Refining Stage Perfection.

So when Han Keke's palm struck, the blood network formed by his qi and blood instantly collapsed.

Before the palm prints could fall, Chen Lie leaped up and threw a punch, simultaneously activating his Mental Power Impact.

"Boom!"

Due to the influence of his Mental Power, Han Keke unable to dodge Chen Lie's attacks and was struck hard once again.

She gritted her teeth, her beautiful face filled with resentment, and shouted, "I hate Divine Sense Master! Divine Sense Master, all of you, die!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Han Keke his palm into a fist and unleashed over a hundred punches at Chen Lie in an instant.

Since her debut, from an elite student to the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province, Han Keke has never fought such a frustrating battle. The Divine Sense Master she encountered in Nanjiang Province before could only affect her for half a breath during the battle. Who would have thought that the Divine Sense Master she encountered these past few days would be so strange.

If all the Divine Sense Master she encounters in the future are like this, then she might as well give up martial arts and switch to cultivating Mental Power.

Chen Lie dealt with Han Keke's chaotic attacks by half-parrying and half-dodging, while his Mental Power Impact never stopped.

Han Keke was attacked by Mental Power dozens of times, and finally stopped losing her mind. She became somewhat immune to Mental Power attacks, but she still suffered intense pain in her mind every time she was attacked by Mental Power.

However, that's enough. As long as he doesn't lose consciousness, everything is fine.

Having discovered this, Han Keke's face hardened, and she said in an icy tone, "Now, it's my turn..."

That damn bastard! He's made her lose all her dignity. If I don't teach him a lesson today, people will think Han Keke is made of clay!

As long as she wasn't affected by Mental Power attacks, she was confident she could take down Chen Lie in half a minute at most.

Chen Lie probably guessed that Han Keke had suffered a lot of Mental Power attacks in a short period of time and was temporarily immune to Mental Power.

So he circulated his Mental Power, and within his Sea of Consciousness, above the Ghost Constellation of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky, the nascent form of the Gui Gold Sheep, like an unparalleled demon, began to manifest its power.

With a flick of his wrists, Gui Gold Sheep created a simple Mental Illusion that enveloped Han Keke.

Enveloped in Mental Illusion, Han Keke suddenly became dazed.

In the illusion, she was still on the Duel Platform, but because she struck too hard, she directly injured Chen Lie's life. The staff around her immediately surrounded her and captured her.

Then the president of Blue Star University appeared.

The principal flew into a rage at her. "Disregard for human life! This is utterly lawless! Effective today, you are expelled from Blue Star University!"

Then the scene changed, and she was expelled from Blue Star University. Watching her former peers from Nanjiang Province enter Starry Sky University one after another, and surpass her in martial arts, she was extremely anxious.

Because she yearned for martial arts but was unable to travel to Starry Sky University to practice through channels on Blue Star, she was seduced by Outer Stars forces and did something that endangered Blue Star.

Following the instructions of the Outer Stars forces, she infiltrated Blue Star University, destroyed the Sumeru Stone that led Blue Star into the Sumeru Illusion Realm, and also destroyed all twelve Crystal Pillar in the Second Campus, hoping to exchange this for the Outer Stars forces' help in getting her into Starry Sky University.

Soon, her actions came to light, and she was arrested by the Blue Star Special Service Group.

The Arbitrator waved his hand and declared, "Han Keke, you have been misled by Outer Stars forces and have seriously damaged the interests of Blue Star. I hereby declare you guilty of Star Betrayal Crime, and you are sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!"

Your parents and family members, who knew about this but failed to report it, causing enormous losses to Blue Star, are equally guilty and will be executed along with you!

Han Keke's gaze flickered, and she found herself tied to a wooden frame, with her parents and family members tied to her as well.

She saw her mother burst into tears, sobbing as she said to her, "Coco... how could you be so foolish? Why did you kill someone on the Duel Platform?"

Her father shook his head and sighed, "Daughter, you're so foolish..."

Han Keke shook her head repeatedly. "Dad, Mom, I didn't, I wouldn't have done it on purpose, I'm sorry..."

Soon, the executioners came forward and began to execute her parents.

Han Keke witnessed her parents being executed before her eyes, and tears streamed down her face as she cried out in anguish, "No, no... Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

The Gui Gold Sheep governs human fear, and the illusions it creates can recreate the most terrifying scenarios in a person's subconscious.

Seeing Han Keke Han Keke on the Duel Platform, wailing and with tears falling like soybeans, Chen Lie knew that she had completely lost herself in the illusion.

Below the Duel Platform, the students watching were filled with confusion.

"What's going on? The fight was going well, even if he suffered a loss, there's no need for him to kneel down and cry like that, is there?"

"That's strange. I know Han Keke, she's the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province. She usually seems pretty arrogant, why is she acting so cowardly today? Even if you can't beat someone, you don't have to kneel down and beg for mercy, right?"

Seeing her old rival kneeling on the ground, crying and shouting, "I'm sorry, I was wrong," Xu Wanqing was greatly surprised.

She knew Han Keke well; even if her legs were broken, she would only frown, recover, and then get her revenge. Why was she kneeling down begging for mercy?

Judging from this, it doesn't seem like he's begging for mercy. Could it be that he suddenly lost his mind during the fight?

Seeing the pointing and whispering of the onlookers below, Chen Lie rushed forward to prevent Han Keke from causing any further trouble. He used his Muscle-Tearing Bone-Dislocating Hand" to instantly dislocate the key tendons and bones in Han Keke's body, completely rendering her unable to fight.

Then, with a 'thud,' he kicked Han Keke out of her Mental Illusion.

Suddenly breaking free from the illusion, Han Keke felt the scene before her change. Looking at the people watching Duel Platform, she saw her opponent Chen Lie.

Suddenly, a thought popped into my head.

Could it be that she was reborn? Returned to the day she accidentally killed her opponent on the Duel Platform and was expelled from Blue Star University?

"You just said that you enjoy being tortured?"

Chen Lie stepped forward and looked down at Han Keke.

Han Keke moved, only to feel a sharp pain and weakness. As a martial artist, she naturally sensed that many of her bones and tendons were misaligned.

Without struggling, she simply collapsed to the ground, her small face raised. "Then go ahead and torture me, I accept my defeat!"

With Han Keke's joints dislocated, she had lost her fighting ability. Chen Lie naturally couldn't go too far, since some of the mentors from the Super Genius Class were still watching from afar and certainly wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.

"Since you admit defeat, then forget it!"

Remember not to be so arrogant next time.

Chen Lie turned around and stepped off the Duel Platform.

Han Keke circulated her qi and blood to reconnect the severed tendons, bones, and joints one by one. After a while, she limped off the Duel Platform.

When she first broke free from the illusion, she still felt a little unreal and couldn't quite distinguish between reality and illusion.

After a while, it finally dawned on her that the heart-wrenching scene she had just experienced seemed... to be a dream.

How could it feel like half a year had passed in just a few seconds?

What kind of method is this? It's utterly unheard of and unseen before!

Do Divine Sense Master possess such unpredictable and mysterious methods?

The most powerful Divine Sense Master she had ever encountered in her battles could only disrupt her consciousness during the most critical moments of the fight. Although they might cause her some hidden losses, they could not ultimately influence the outcome of the battle. Moreover, Divine Sense Master's Mental Power attacks could only be used two or three times at most during a battle. This Chen Lie had just used Mental Power attacks on her more than a hundred times, and almost all of them made her lose consciousness instantly.

She could also see that Chen Lie's strength was only at the first stage of Blood Tempering. If they were to fight against someone of the same level, she wouldn't even know how she died. In a duel between experts, life and death are often decided in an instant.

Having suffered multiple Mental Power attacks in a short period of time, and having finally developed some immunity to Mental Power attacks, she was now encountering such a realistic illusion.

Her bizarre methods were endless, far more terrifying than the fifteenth princess of Red Flame Planet she had faced in a few days ago.

She had always felt that Divine Sense Master were nothing special and lacked any sense of awe towards Divine Sense Master, but Chen Lie gave her a vivid lesson today.

It turns out that even among Divine Sense Master, there are different levels. If she were to encounter a top-tier Divine Sense Master in a life-or-death battle, she would die inexplicably.

But how could Divine Sense Master possess such outrageous abilities? How is she supposed to survive while focusing solely on martial arts training?

Even those ranked in the top ten of the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking would die silently if faced with such unpredictable and mysterious methods, right?

Seeing Han Keke covered in bruises and limping off the Duel Platform, Xu Wanqing immediately mocked, "Han Keke, weren't you so capable?"

How could a Martial Leader from Nanjiang Province, ranked among the top twenty on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking, be so cowardly? He actually knelt down and begged for mercy during the battle, crying and shouting "I was wrong," and even calling his opponent "daddy." You're truly unique. If your peers from Nanjiang Province who were defeated by you had seen that scene, I wonder what they would think."

Han Keke knew, of course, that she had just made a fool of herself. She didn't say much, but just rolled her eyes at Xu Wanqing: "What are you so smug about? As if you were the one who defeated me."

Even though I'm injured right now, do you believe I can still finish you off within a hundred moves?

Xu Wanqing raised an eyebrow. "I don't believe it. If you're so capable, come up on stage and have another match!"

"Boring!"

Han Keke shook her head and walked straight over.

She was indeed bluffing. The difference in strength between her and Xu Wanqing was not that great to begin with. Now, with her vital joints and bones damaged and dislocated, her fighting power was almost reduced to less than one-tenth. Of course, she would not fight Xu Wanqing at this time.

Seeing Han Keke's unusual behavior on the Duel Platform, Han Keke's assistant coach Cheng Mengying rushed over to comfort her after Han Keke stepped off the stage.

"Coco, what happened to you just now?"

Han Keke gave a somewhat pathetic smile, "Sister Cheng, I've met a tough one. The 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins I missed during the Northwest Military Training are probably not a loss at all."

"What exactly happened?" Cheng Mengying asked, puzzled.

Han Keke whispered, "I think I was under an illusion just now. I saw some false images for no reason."

I had no idea that Divine Sense Master could use such bizarre methods; it terrified me!

"Illusion? How is that possible?"

Cheng Mengying's eyes widened immediately.

"Sister Cheng, have you perhaps heard of the illusions of Divine Sense Master?" Han Keke asked in surprise.

"I have heard that during my time at Starry Sky University, a mentor told me that if one 'Mental Power reaches the eighth level or above, all the corresponding talents can be used to cultivate Illusion Manual and create some rudimentary and simple Mental Illusion."

This kind of Mental Illusion has a very simple and fixed format; everyone under its spell sees the same things, and it doesn't vary from person to person. Therefore, some people with strong minds can instantly become aware and determine that they are under an illusion.

Han Keke immediately said, "The scene is monotonous? That can't be right! Why is the environment I planted different?"

Furthermore, only Divine Sense Master of the eighth rank or higher can create illusions. An eighth-rank Divine Sense Master is practically Mental Power Grandmaster, which is impossible."

Cheng Mengying continued, "Besides that, there's another possibility."

I don't know if you've seen the Canglan Star Domain Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook.

Starry Sky University has compiled a list of 72 Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit with varying abilities.

Among them, the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ranked first on the Consciousness Spirit Ranking is named ' Dark Ghost Dragon '. Its unique ability as a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is to create Mental Illusion based on people's fear and timidity.

Many who fight against Divine Sense Master who has cultivated into a ' Dark Ghost Dragon ' often become trapped in an illusion and die without even knowing how they died.

Han Keke's gaze froze. Of course, she had seen the Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook issued by Blue Star University. She also understood that Divine Sense Master cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit was a Star Domain-level genius. The value of someone who cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit in the Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook was equivalent to Twelvefold Strength Value of Qi Blood-Qi Martial Way.

Twelvefold Strength Value is unthinkable on Blue Star.

"Sister Cheng, do you mean that so-and-so's Consciousness Spirit is the ' Dark Ghost Dragon '?"

Cheng Mengying shook her head. "I'm just guessing. If our Blue Star really had Divine Sense Master could cultivate into Dark Ghost Dragon, would the Fourteen-Star Alliance of the Canglan Star Domain still need to fight so hard with Wood Source Planet for the position of Permanent Councilor Star?"

The instructors of the Department of the Mental Power Department at Starry Sky University have all said that anyone who can cultivate Consciousness Spirit that ranks among the top ten on the Canglan Star Domain Consciousness Spirit Ranking will almost certainly become a tenth-level Divine Sense Master in the future, let alone the number one ' Dark Ghost Dragon ' in the Canglan Star Domain?

However, your opponent just now certainly wouldn't cultivate Consciousness Spirit like the ' Dark Ghost Dragon '. To cultivate the Dark Ghost Dragon, one needs incredibly high Mental Power talent, a Sea of Consciousness exceeding one hundred million, guidance from a renowned master, and even a rare Mental Power Treasure is extremely rare even in the entire Canglan Star Domain.

These conditions are not available on our Blue Star, so it's impossible for anyone to cultivate the ' Dark Ghost Dragon ' Consciousness Spirit Mental Power. However, your opponent, while unlikely to possess the ' Dark Ghost Dragon,' is certainly no ordinary person in terms of spiritual strength."

Han Keke's eyes darted around; in her view, the more impossible something seemed, the more likely it was to be.

She planned to go back and thoroughly review the information about Divine Sense Master. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party's Consciousness Spirit was most likely the legendary ' Dark Ghost Dragon '.

The illusion she had just experienced terrified her again; she hadn't realized at all that it was fake.

On the other side of the Duel Platform, Chen Lie approached Ruan Liuyun and asked, "Now that I've defeated the twentieth-ranked person on the Blood Qi Ranking, does that mean I'm already ranked twentieth on the Blood Qi Ranking?"

Ruan Liuyun replied, "The ranking of the Blood Qi Ranking is not based solely on the strength of the individual."

Han Keke's situation is somewhat special. She's only in her early seventeens, yet she's already reached this level and possesses eight times the Strength Value, placing her high on the Blood Qi Ranking. Even if you defeat her, it doesn't necessarily mean you can take her place.

"Does this mean I should challenge the top spot on the Blood Qi Ranking again?" Chen Lie asked.

"You just said you have eight times the Strength Value?"

Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.

"If you had eight times the Strength Value, you should be able to take Han Keke's place."

Eight times the Strength Value is a threshold; only when the Strength Value reaches eight times can one hope to break through to the Great Extreme Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage.

"But why are you so eager to get into the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking? Can't you wait until the next Blood Qi Ranking Challenge?"

Chen Lie shook his head. There was still no news about the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow that Blue Star University had promised him. He suspected that Lei Jinglong had secretly gone back on his word after learning about the value of the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow, so he must have increased his own stakes.

The authorities believe he has a deficient Consciousness Spirit, so be it. If he improves his martial arts talent, he can compensate for the deficiency in his Consciousness Spirit to some extent, right?

At this moment, Xu Wanqing walked over. "Hey, your Mental Power talent is really strong. You actually made Han Keke suffer so much. You must be ranked very high on the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking, right?"

Ruan Liuyun was also very curious about this.

"Tenth."

"Tenth?" Xu Wanqing's eyes widened. "Such a high ranking? Tenth on the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking Sea of Consciousness Score."

In the Mental Power Department, it's equivalent to being in the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking. With such high Mental Power aptitude, why don't you join the Mental Power Department?

Ruan Liuyun said, "Of those ranked tenth on the Divine Sense Master Ranking, how many specialize solely in Mental Power? If it were you, would you be willing to join the Mental Power Department? Unless your martial arts aptitude is truly mediocre, you should at least cultivate both martial arts and Mental Power."

Xia Ziying, who was standing to the side, said, "I am Dual-Department Student of the Mental Power Department and the Martial Way Department. As far as I know, half of the top ten people on the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking have already advanced to Martial Artist and are cultivating in the Mental Power Department of Starry Sky University."

Only a select few exceptionally gifted individuals rank in the top ten on both lists.

Both lists are updated every three years, and making it into the top ten of either list is a remarkable achievement.

Ruan Liuyun was shocked. She had thought that her cousin had only chosen a Martial Leader in East River Province, but she never expected that she would also be one of the top ten geniuses in the Divine Sense Realm on Blue Star. This was simply outrageous.

"Um... I wanted to ask, what happened with Han Keke just now?"

Why are you crying and screaming? And even kneeling down begging for mercy? Could it be that she couldn't take your Mental Power attack?

"Good."

Chen Lie didn't say much; he was currently unwilling to reveal Gui Gold Sheep's abilities.

The illusion created by Gui Gold Sheep was effective because Han Keke was in a state of extreme anger at the time, and had also been weakened beforehand.

His Mental Power was only at the late stage of the first level, so he was actually at a disadvantage against someone who had undergone four Blood Tempering.

If Han Keke hadn't been so enraged and mentally unstable, and hadn't been so exhausted, her full release of energy could very likely have directly shattered the Mental Illusion.

Only when one 'Mental Power reaches the peak of the first tier can one suppress those below the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow realm.

Xu Wanqing's heart stirred. She really wanted to learn this kind of Mental Power attack, not for any other reason than to be able to subdue Han Keke.

However, she knew that she would never be able to learn the Mental Power techniques of the top ten Apprentice Divine Sense Master.

Chen Lie defeated Han Keke on the Duel Platform, and his nine-game winning streak finally caught the attention of the staff.

The staff directly invited Zheng Dongyang, the tutor of the Super Genius Class, over.

Zheng Dongyang approached Chen Lie and asked, "Chen Lie, you defeated Han Keke, who is ranked in the top 20 of the Blood Qi Ranking, on the Duel Platform?"

"Yes!" Chen Liedao.

Zheng Dongyang was puzzled. He carefully observed Chen Lie for a few moments and was greatly surprised.

When I saw Chen Lie a few days ago, he was only at the initial Blood Refining Stage. How come he's become so much stronger this time?

He knew that Chen Lie possessed Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, and his victory over Han Keke must have been due to this Consciousness Spirit. But no matter how powerful the Consciousness Spirit, if the difference in martial arts was too great, it was impossible for the weak to defeat the strong, right?

Could it be that he misjudged me last time?

"You're quite good. I know your Strength Value eight times higher than average. So from now on, you will replace Han Keke on the Blood Qi Ranking and Blood Qi Ranking and be ranked 19th." Zheng Dongyang said to Chen Liedao.

Xu Wanqing, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Zheng, Han Keke ranked 20th on the Blood Qi Ranking? How did she become 19th?"

A staff member explained, "Han Keke won the Blood Qi Ranking Challenge just now, and her ranking on the Blood Qi Ranking has moved up one place."
