Peak First-Rank Mental Power

Not only Qin Ruoxi, but even Ruan Liuyun thought Han Keke was preparing some kind of trick.

After all, Han Keke was the Martial Leader in Nanjiang Province, and she had already broken through eight times her previous Strength Value. It was almost a certainty that she would become Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi before the age of eighteen. She was at the height of her career, so how could she possibly back down because of a single defeat?

"Han Keke, if you really want to team up with Chen Lie at Starry Sky University, you can get to know each other first."

"No one will take it seriously if someone suddenly says they want to become an elder brother."

"That's true!"

Han Keke nodded, also feeling that she had been too abrupt. Normally, if someone loses a martial arts competition and loses face so badly, they would hold a grudge. But if she directly came up and bowed to him as her elder brother, people would definitely think she had ulterior motives.

If it were an ordinary person, Han Keke certainly not be so shameless as to fawn over them, but the other party might be a being who has cultivated to the first Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit in the Canglan Star Domain, the ' Dark Ghost Dragon '.

Being able to associate with someone like that at Starry Sky University is practically like sucking up to a powerful figure. How could Han Keke miss such a golden opportunity?

Although she had always been naive, she understood one principle: don't jeopardize your future in martial arts.

Thinking of this, Han Keke explained, "Big brother, I really don't have any ulterior motives. I sincerely want to follow you."

We became friends after a fight. I was less skilled than you, so you rightfully deserved the 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins.

I admit I was being a bit presumptuous this time. Anyway, there's still some time before I go to Starry Sky University, so we can talk about it later.

"How about I add you as a friend on my Green Bubble account?"

Han Keke took out her Communicator, her bright eyes looking at Chen Lie expectantly.

Chen Lie glanced at Han Keke, nodded, and said, "Add it!"

As he spoke, Chen Lie took out his Communicator and tossed it to Han Keke.

After adding Green Bubble as a friend, Han Keke stepped forward and returned the Communicator to Chen Lie.

He then said, "Brother, I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, Han Keke turned and left.

Xu Wanqing glanced at Han Keke's retreating figure and said to Chen Liedao, "Han Keke definitely has some ulterior motive. I'm giving you a heads-up, don't fall for her tricks too easily."

Chen Lie waved his hand without saying anything more.

A Blood Qi Ranking Challenge was held in less than half a day.

It was noon when Chen Lie left the Drill Hall.

At Ruan Liuyun's suggestion, Chen Lie went to a restaurant for a meal with the members of the Assistant Instructor Group.

When I returned after dinner, a maid in palace attire was pacing back and forth outside the Drill Hall of the Super Genius Class.

Xia Ziying stepped forward and, upon seeing the maid in palace attire, remarked, "That seems to be a servant of a noble family from Shuimang Star or Red Flame Planet. What brings her here?"

"I don't know." Xu Wanqing shook her head.

The maid who was pacing back and forth saw the group of people and her eyes lit up. She walked with measured steps and came directly to the group of people, bowing deeply to Chen Lie.

"This servant, Caiyi, greets Young Master Chen."

Chen Lie raised an eyebrow and gestured with his hand, saying, "Get up quickly!"

Seeing the maid slowly rise, Chen Lie asked again, "Do you know me? What do you want with me?"

"Reporting to Young Master Chen, this servant secretly glimpsed the Princess in her temporary palace earlier. I have come here on the orders of the Fifteenth Princess of Great Yan to invite you for a chat."

"The Fifteenth Princess? Is that Zhu Jingshu? What does she want with me?" Chen Lie asked.

"This servant is unaware, but Her Highness knows that Young Master Chen is busy today and specifically asked me to inform her that if he is unavailable, he may visit Her Highness's temporary residence early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I have time now, I can go with you," Chen Liedao.

"Chen Lie, you still have connections with the princess of Red Flame Planet?" Ruan Liuyun asked from the side.

"We only competed once in the Sumeru Illusion Realm," Chen Lie said.

"Oh, I was originally going to tell you about the top twenty people on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking, but since you have an appointment, let's do it another time."

Chen Lie nodded and had the maid named Caiyi lead the way to their temporary residence on Red Flame Planet.

After walking for about ten minutes, Chen Lie, led by his maid Caiyi, arrived outside a room that resembled a conference room.

"Your Highness, Caiyi has been ordered to bring Young Master Chen here."

Outside the room, the maid Caiyi did not push the door open to go in, but instead knelt down and shouted.

A short while later, Zhu Jingshu, dressed in a bright red dress, came out of the room.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, she smiled gently, approached Chen Lie, clasped her hands together at her sides, and slightly bent her knees to perform a very pleasing curtsy.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Chen Lie. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this trip."

Chen Lie raised his hand. "No need to be polite. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhu Jingshu waved her hand at the kneeling maid beside her and said in a cold voice, "You may leave!"

"Yes!"

The maidservant quickly rose and respectfully withdrew.

At the same time, he was shocked. To be treated with such respect by the most favored princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, this alien young master Chen must also be a powerful and influential figure.

After the maid left, Zhu Jingshu said, "Lord Jing Shu Chen Lie, the day before yesterday I promised you five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower and one Star God Grass."

Currently, the 500 jin of Spirit Nourishing Flower have been transported from Red Flame Planet, but Jing Shu will probably have to break her promise Star God Grass."

"Broken your promise?"

Chen Lie frowned.

"Please don't misunderstand, Your Excellency. When Jing Shu said she broke her promise, she meant that she couldn't present it to you within three days as scheduled. It might take a little longer. It doesn't mean she's going back on her word."

Star God Grass is Mental Power Treasure, which is currently not available on Red Flame Planet and can only be purchased from Outer Stars.

The Great Yan Dynasty's Star Bureau is currently making great efforts to purchase ships from Outer Stars, and some progress has already been made.

Please grant me another five days. I will definitely deliver the Star God Grass to you within five days."

"Okay, five days it is." Chen Lie nodded in agreement.

"The five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower have arrived. Would you like to take them?"

"Take it!"

"Okay, please follow me."

Zhu Jingshu nodded slightly and walked ahead, leading Chen Lie into the conference room.

Inside the conference room, a middle-aged man dressed in Python Robe sat in the center. Upon seeing Zhu Jingshu, he immediately asked, "Jing Shu? Your guest has arrived?"

"Imperial Uncle, this Mr. Chen Lie has solved a major problem for me, and I promised to give him 500 catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower as a token of my gratitude."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "That's only right. The Spirit Nourishing Flower has already been delivered; I'll send someone to fetch it immediately."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man raised his hand and ordered the guards to fetch it.

Then, the middle-aged man stood up and walked a few steps to Chen Lie.

Grandmaster at the peak has extremely powerful senses. Almost instantly, he realized that Chen Lie was much stronger than when he had bumped into him the other day.

"Young friend Chen, you cultivate both Mental Power and martial arts, right?"

"Yes!" Chen Lie nodded.

"Then your mastery of Mental Power must be among the best on Blue Star, right?"

Jing Shu's Consciousness Sea World was eroded by the illusion, and even the Mental Power Grandmaster of the Great Yan were helpless against it, yet you resolved it so easily.

As an uncle, I am extremely grateful to you for saving my niece.

"You flatter me, senior. I was just there by chance."

"I was able to solve her problem by chance; if it were a different situation, I would be helpless," Chen Liedao.

"Young friend, there's no need to belittle yourself," the middle-aged man waved his hand.

At this moment, the guard returned and bowed to the middle-aged man, saying, "Your Highness, the five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower have been brought over."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Let's leave it to this young friend."

"Yes!"

The guard immediately handed Chen Lie a medium-sized crystal box.

Chen Lie silently scanned the area with his divine sense, and many of the Spirit Nourishing Flower were compressed into the crystal box. Although the crystal box was small, it contained no less than 500 jin of Spirit Nourishing Flower, and more than 500 jin.

Chen Lie accepted the crystal box, cupped his hands in thanks to the middle-aged man, and said, "Thank you, senior. Farewell."

The middle-aged man nodded and said to Zhu Jingshu, "Jing Shu, go and see young friend Chen off."

"Yes!"

After giving her reply, Zhu Jingshu immediately left the conference room with Chen Lie.

Upon reaching the campus outside the conference room, Zhu Jingshu said, "Your Excellency Chen Lie, I heard that Blue Star held a martial arts competition for top martial arts geniuses today. The essence of this competition is that the capable rise and the mediocre fall."

You must have participated in this martial arts competition as well, sir?

"I participated and gained some insights," Chen Liedao.

Zhu Jingshu smiled slightly and said, "Jing Shu heard from the Imperial Uncle that he has discussed it with the president of Blue Star University and the dean of the Shuimang Star Martial Academy."

The day after tomorrow, outstanding martial arts geniuses from their respective planets will be selected for a friendly sparring match.

Those who excel in this friendly competition will receive a reward jointly offered by Samsung. Would you be interested in participating in this limited-opportunity friendly competition?

Chen Liedao, "Let's see what the reward is later."

Zhu Jingshu nodded with a smile.

After sending Chen Lie out of the range of Red Flame Planet, Zhu Jingshu took her leave.

Chen Lie carried the 500- Spirit Nourishing Flower and found a Cultivation Room next to the Dormitory.

Upon entering the Cultivation Room, Chen Lie's first action was to open the crystal box containing five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower.

As soon as the crystal box was opened, the Spirit Nourishing Flower scattered everywhere.

Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the cultivation platform, closed his eyes to rest for a while, and then began to cultivate the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter".

His Mental Power level is now at the late stage of the first rank. Five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower can easily allow his Mental Power to break through to the peak of the first rank.

However, to break through to the second tier, the assistance of the ' Star God Grass ' is still required.

To break through to the Second-Rank Divine Sense Master, one must completely cultivate into the second Star God ' Gui Gold Sheep ', only then will it conform to the advancement of the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter".

However, even a peak first-tier Mental Power is enough to deal with someone who has undergone eight Blood Tempering on Blue Star, and can be said to sweep away those below the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi.

At the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, where Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow, even weaker Mental Power attacks struggle to get within ten meters of one.

The difference Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm and the Blood-Qi Like Slurry Realm is qualitative. Only when Chen Lie's Mental Power breaks through to the second level can he defeat someone who has reached the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm.

While cultivating the Star God Cultivation Method in the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter", Chen Lie released his Mental Power, and the powerful Mental Power immediately enveloped the scattered five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie's Mental Power began to draw upon the power of the Spirit Nourishing Flower.

His Sea of Consciousness instantly sensed a pure Mental Power, and he began to absorb it frantically.

Soon, the energy of the five hundred catties of Spirit Nourishing Flower was completely absorbed, and the scattered Spirit Nourishing Flower turned into a pile of ashes.

Chen Lie then focused on absorbing the energy brought by the 500 jin of Spirit Nourishing Flower.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lie's Mental Power unexpectedly increased. He used his divine sense to look inward and saw that the Gui Gold Sheep, with a sheep's head and a human body, wearing golden armor, above the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky Ghost Constellation his sea of Consciousness Sea World, had become much more solid from its illusion.

"My Mental Power has finally reached the peak of the first tier, and I'm only one step away from the second tier."

Chen Lie continued to cultivate the "Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter" to solidify his Mental Power realm.

After more than half an hour, when Chen Lie stopped cultivating and walked out of the Cultivation Room, it was already getting dark, so he went straight back to his Dormitory to rest.

The next morning, after washing up, Chen Lie left his Dormitory. He intended to collect the Star Liquid from the nearby Star Liquid Distribution Office, but on the way, he received a call from Zheng Dongyang, who told him to go to the Super Genius Class Drill Hall immediately. So Chen Lie went to the Drill Hall instead.

Chen Lie arrived at the Drill Hall, Zheng Dongyang saw him and immediately went over to him.

Seeing Zheng Dongyang approach, Chen Lie asked, "Professor Zheng, why are you in such a hurry to see me? Is there something you need?"

"Chen Lie, it's not me looking for you, it's Principal Lei."

He's currently waiting for you in your advisor's office. He'll let you know if he needs anything.

"Oh? What is it?" Chen Lie asked.

"I don't know either, you'll find out when you go in."

Chen Lie nodded and, guided by Zheng Dongyang, entered the instructor's office in the Drill Hall.

As soon as Chen Lie entered the office, he saw Lei Jinglong, the president of Blue Star University, sitting in his office chair.

Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, Lei Jinglong immediately stood up. "Chen Lie, you're here! Please sit down!"

Chen Lie nodded, then casually closed the office door and sat down opposite Lei Jinglong's desk.

"Principal Lei, what can I do for you?"

Lei Jinglong chuckled and said, "Chen Lie, congratulations on entering the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking."

Mental Power cultivation cannot be separated from martial arts. It's excellent that you can balance both Mental Power and martial arts. Keep up the good work and strive to break through to the Great Extreme Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage as soon as possible."

"I know that, but did Principal Lei call me here to motivate me?" Chen Lie asked.

"Of course not, I do have something to ask you."

"Oh? Could it be that there are results regarding the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow?" Chen Lie asked.

"It's not the Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow, but the Profound Yang Golden Marrow."

"Profound Yang Golden Marrow?"

Chen Lie's heart skipped a beat. Profound Yang Golden Marrow was a treasure several times more precious than Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow. If it were used to cultivate Pure Yang Precious Blood, its effect would be far superior to that of Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow.

It was precisely because of the preciousness of Profound Yang Golden Marrow that Chen Lie did not expect Blue Star to make the request to promote the Golden Marrow, because with Blue Star's capabilities, it was almost impossible for them to obtain such a treasure as Profound Yang Golden Marrow.

"What? You've heard of Profound Yang Golden Marrow too?" Lei Jinglong asked.

Chen Lie nodded. "I've heard of it. Profound Yang Golden Marrow is an evolved form of Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow. The two belong to the same category, but there might not be one Profound Yang Golden Marrow out of a hundred Profound Yang Spiritual Marrow."
