Xu Wanqing was taken aback. So, Han Keke is still in the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking?

Having squeezed into the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking, Chen Lie had achieved his goal. If there was still no news about his ' Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow ' in a couple of days, he would take the initiative to go to the Principal's Office to inquire with Lei Jinglong.

"Mentor Zheng, I heard that upon first entering the Blood Qi Ranking and achieving a certain ranking, there will be a reward of Star Liquid. I wonder how many bottles of Star Liquid I will be rewarded if I rush into the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking?"

Zheng Dongyang said, "Blue Star University has a rule that you will be rewarded with a bottle of Star Liquid for entering the Blood Qi Ranking Blood Qi Ranking for the first time, a bottle of Stellar Liquid for entering the top 50 of the Blood Qi Ranking, a bottle of Star Liquid Star Liquid for entering the top 20 of the Qi and Blood Ranking, and a bottle of Star Liquid for reaching eight times the Strength Value."

You are now entitled to a reward of four bottles of Star Liquid.

After the challenge ends, you can collect it from the Star Liquid Distribution Office.

Chen Lie nodded.

After exchanging a few words with Chen Lie, Zheng Dongyang instructed the co-instructor beside him, "The top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking hardly ever change. Even if there are changes, they are internal changes due to competition among the top twenty. Today's challenge only caused two or three people to change their rankings on the Blood Qi Ranking."

As you all know, the top twenty students on the Blood Qi Ranking are the future of Blue Star. As mentors, we must provide guidance to students whose rankings have fallen off the Blood Qi Ranking as soon as possible.

Do not let them be discouraged by their defeat, and even more importantly, do not let them develop hatred towards their opponents because of it.

"Okay, I'll get right on it!"

After the coordinating instructor responded, he went to counsel each of the students who had fallen from the top twenty in the Blood Qi Ranking.

Blue Star University places great importance on the students in its Super Genius Class. To prevent the top young geniuses of Blue Star from being discouraged by defeats in the martial arts challenge and affecting their morale, Blue Star University arranges one-on-one psychological counseling from mentors after each challenge to those who lost or fell in the Blood Qi Ranking, ensuring that they always maintain their unwavering determination to advance in the martial arts.

Although students who make it to the Super Genius Class are not so fragile as to be discouraged by a defeat, the main purpose of guidance is actually to prevent, detect and nip conflicts and antagonisms between students in the Genius Class in the bud.

Those who can enter the Super Genius Class are the top geniuses on Blue Star. If they clash with each other, they will be caught in internal strife and unable to unite against external threats, let alone the top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking.

After speaking with her teaching assistant Cheng Mengying, Han Keke quickly found a Cultivation Room nearby, circulated her qi and blood, and began to heal herself.

Having undergone Fourth Blood Tempering, Han Keke possessed remarkable recovery abilities. Thus, she only needed a dozen minutes to completely repair all the tendons and bones that Chen Lie had broken with his bone-dislocating technique.

When Han Keke came out of the Cultivation Room, he saw that the Blood Qi Ranking Challenge was almost over, and many people had already left.

As soon as she arrived at the Duel Platform, she saw teaching assistant Cheng Mengying walking gracefully towards her.

"Coco, you're out! How's your recovery going?"

"Thankfully, I wasn't seriously injured," Han Keke said, waving her hand.

She could sense that Chen Lie's strength was barely enough to break through her defenses. Although she looked battered and bruised, and her clothes were torn in many places, she was not actually seriously injured.

"This is Instructor Zhao, the co-instructor of the Super Genius Class. He came specifically to see you to offer guidance on your drop in the Blood Qi Ranking Challenge," Cheng Mengying said.

When Instructor Zhao saw Han Keke's battered and bruised state, he was immediately horrified.

Looking at his battered and bruised appearance, after being beaten so badly, he must have been quite shaken, right?

These are the students he is mentoring.

"Han Keke, I am Zhao Long, the assistant instructor of the Thirteenth Campus. I've come to see you today mainly to provide some psychological counseling. The path of martial arts is long; who can remain undefeated forever? Don't be discouraged."

Han Keke was stunned for a moment. Psychological counseling?

She had always known that the Super Genius Class had this mechanism, but she never expected that it would actually happen to her now.

"Instructor Zhao, my heart isn't that fragile. You don't need to give me psychological counseling. It's just a small defeat. I haven't taken it to heart." Han Keke shook her head repeatedly.

"As expected of someone ranked in the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking, their mental fortitude is indeed remarkable."

However, this is not just about being discouraged. The Blood Qi Ranking Challenge is a healthy competitive mechanism at Blue Star University. Every loss and every victory is meant to motivate you to improve.

You will be the strongest comrades in the future, so you must not harbor resentment because of a challenge match. I have seen your injury. Don't worry, I will definitely inform Professor Zheng Dongyang and educate the classmate who injured you.

The Duel Platform is all about knowing when to stop; going this far was simply too much.

"No way!"

Han Keke quickly replied, "Instructor Zhao, I am not as skilled as you, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. I have no resentment whatsoever, so please don't trouble yourself."

Instructor Zhao was stunned. How could someone who was beaten black and blue not feel any resentment?

Cheng Mengying then said, "Instructor Zhao, don't worry, I know Han Keke."

She was defeated in a direct confrontation and would never hold a grudge against her classmates.

"Oh well!"

After giving Han Keke a deep look, Instructor Zhao left.

After Instructor Zhao left, Han Keke said to Cheng Mengying, "Sister Cheng, I'm going over there to take a look. You go ahead and get back to what you're doing."

"Oh well."

Cheng Mengying nodded, then silently walked away.

Han Keke glanced around the Duel Platform, then walked in one direction with her hands behind her back.

On the other side, Qin Ruoxi was defeated by Chen Lie, and she and Cheng Xiaoxiao watched from Duel Platform.

She focused on Chen Lie's martial arts competition and was shocked to discover that Chen Lie had defeated many powerful figures and made it into the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking.

Finally, seeing that even Han Keke Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province, had been defeated by Chen Lie, Qin Ruoxi couldn't help but say, "How is this annoying guy so good?"

Cheng Xiaoxiao was also shocked. This was among the top twenty on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking! He was already one of the top martial arts geniuses on Blue Star. Her cousin-in-law was just too outstanding.

Is this really someone from a poor, small province?

"He's already in the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking, won't it be very difficult for Brother Jiang Yuan to recruit him?"

"I remember he was only at the Organ Refining Stage before, how could he have already Blood Tempering so quickly?" Qin Ruoxi asked again.

"Ruoxi, you must have misread it before? Even for someone with exceptional talent, it takes at least two months to progress from the Organ Refining Stage to the Blood Tempering, right?" Cheng Xiaoxiao asked.

"Now that you mention it, I'm not sure either. Maybe he was hiding his cultivation level before," Qin Ruoxi said, shaking her head.

Beside the Duel Platform, as soon as Zheng Dongyang, the instructor of the Super Genius Class, left, Chen Lie said to Ruan Liuyun, "I've entered the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking and have eight times the Strength Value. You should be able to receive a reward of 20,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, right?"

Ruan Liuyun nodded gently and said, "That's right. Don't worry, once you get into Starry Sky University, I'll give you a red envelope with 10,000 Galactic Coin."

Then, she walked to Chen Lie's side and whispered, "Liusu is in the same situation as you. The 20,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins you received will all be returned to you."

"No need!" Chen Lie waved his hand and said, "I don't need your pittance. Keep your Galactic Coin."

Ruan Liuyun was taken aback. Ten thousand Star-Origin Galactic Coins was no small sum.

Some rare Third-Tier Martial Dao Rare Treasures can be bought for two out of 10,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins.

His cousin-in-law has never been to Outer Stars and doesn't take 10,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins seriously. He'll probably only understand what it means to be penniless when he gets to Starry Sky University.

At this moment, Ruan Liuyun's Assistant Instructor Group, Dong Jingtian, Wang Tian'en, Xia Ziying, and Xu Wanqing, all surrounded Chen Lie.

In particular, Dong Jingtian was ranked 19th on the Blood Qi Ranking, but he was successfully challenged by Han Keke and dropped to 20th. Then Chen Lie successfully chose Han Keke and pushed her back to 20th, while Dong Han Keke was directly squeezed out of the top 20 on the Blood Qi Ranking.

Dong Jingtian is from Sunan Province, the same hometown as Ruan Liuyun, which is why he joined Ruan Liuyun's Assistant Instructor Group.

Because of his outstanding talent in Mental Power, he joined Starry Sky University at the end of 7364 in the Galactic Calendar, half a year earlier than the freshmen, so he was also far ahead in martial arts.

He had initially disdained to pay attention to Chen Lie, a new student, but now that Chen Lie had indirectly replaced him, he had no choice but to take him seriously.

"Dude, I noticed that when you were fighting Han Keke just now, you mainly used Mental Power attacks to gain the upper hand."

Although I am ranked 19th on the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking, the Consciousness Spirit I have cultivated is only a very ordinary Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit. Although I can inflict damage on Han Keke in battle, I cannot change the course of the battle.

I specialize in Mental Power, and I haven't pursued perfection in martial arts. Although Fifth Blood Tempering, I'm no stronger than someone who Blood Tempering four times. I see that you're not as good as me in martial arts, and you win by relying on Mental Power. Could it be that your Consciousness Spirit is a top-tier Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit?"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement. "Not bad."

Dong Jingtian's expression changed. A top-tier Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit is not comparable to an ordinary Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit; the difference between the two is enormous.

Some ordinary Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit are almost no different from top-level Spirit-Grade Consciousness Spirit, like him.

"Ahem, are you talking?"

Just as the four members of the group were talking to Chen Lie, a clear and pleasant voice rang out.

Several people turned to look, Xu Wanqing was the first to react, immediately putting her hands on her hips and asking, "Han Keke? What are you doing here?"

The speaker was Han Keke. Han Keke glanced at Xu Wanqing and said, "I'm not here to see you, why are you so concerned?"

As she spoke, she stepped forward, looked at Chen Lie, and said, "Brother Chen, your Mental Power techniques just now were truly astounding. I have never seen such a bizarre ability before."

I accepted my defeat on the Duel Platform without hesitation; it was your kindness that prevented you from going all out.

Chen Lie glanced at Han Keke and said, "What's wrong? Is this all you wanted to say?"

Han Keke said, "Of course not. What I want to say is that I want to become your sworn brother. When we get to Starry Sky University, I want to follow you!"

Han Keke's words stunned everyone around her.

Ruan Liuyun Han Keke, are you serious?"

When have I ever not been serious?

Xu Wanqing looked at Han Keke as if she were an idiot. "You'll call him your big brother? And follow him around?"

Han Keke, are you out of your mind?

Han Keke didn't even glance at Xu Wanqing, explaining, "Of course I'm serious!"

She then Chen Liedao, "Brother, what do you think of me? Am I qualified to be your underling?"

You might not know this, but I have quite a reputation in Nanjiang Province!

Chen Lie shook his head. "I'm not interested. If you want to become an elder brother, go find someone else."

Han Keke was stunned. She had offered her allegiance, but was rejected?

She believed she had both talent and good looks, and Jiang Yuan, Hao Yulong, Zuo Yuan'er, who were all in the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking, had extended invitations to her to team up with her at Starry Sky University, but she rejected them all.

She felt that these men were only a year older than her, not much better, and therefore had no right to recruit her.

Now that she'd been rejected, she was genuinely puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"There's no reason why, I just prefer to act alone," Chen Liedao.

Han Keke opened her mouth, then said resolutely, "No matter what, I've made up my mind about you."

I'm not even seventeen and a half years old, yet I already have eight times the Strength Value and Fourth Blood Tempering. Give me another three months, and once I get to Starry Sky University, I'm sure I'll be able to break through to the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm.

"I won't hold you back."

Xu Wanqing and the others were very puzzled.

Han Keke, after all, among the top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking and the Martial Leader of Nanjiang Province. She usually acts all high and mighty, how could she possibly be so subservient?

Could she be playing a prank on someone?

Qin Ruoxi, who was standing to the side, also noticed Han Keke. Before she arrived, her voice came first. "Hey, Han Keke, if you want to join the Starry Sky University organization, you can join Lanjing Martial Leader, Jiang Yuan, and others!"

Why insist on calling him the elder brother?

Han Keke glanced at Qin Ruoxi: "Why would I, a person from Nanjiang Province, join Lanjing's organization?"

"Nonsense, of course Jiang Yuan is stronger. He's in the top ten on both the Blood Qi Ranking and the Divine Sense Master Ranking. Now that his organization is taking shape, many people from Lanjing have already joined." Qin Ruoxi then came to Han Keke and said.

"We are both Martial Leader from the top ten provinces of Blue Star. Why should I be inferior to him? Tell me, what makes him so strong?"

"He's only a year older than me. What's so great about being in the top ten on both lists? When I reach his age, I might not be any worse than him." Han Keke said dismissively.

Qin Ruoxi's face flushed red from Han Keke's words. Pointing at Chen Liedao, "Then why did you acknowledge him as your elder brother? And even said you'd follow him?"

"I'm happy with it, I like him, I find him pleasing to the eye, what's it to you?"

Han Keke's attitude infuriated Qin Ruoxi. She knew that Han Keke was always arrogant, and that her own strength was far inferior to Han Keke's, so she didn't dare to make a move.

At this moment, Cheng Xiaoxiao came up again and pulled Qin Ruoxi away. "Ruoxi, let's go."

Han Keke so mischievous. I noticed she was acting a bit strange just now; maybe she was playing a prank on someone.

Qin Ruoxi suddenly realized that Han Keke's unusual behavior must be a trick.
