Jiang Yuan, Sixth of the Blue Star Ten Elites

Chen Lie nodded in agreement to Ruan Liuyun's reminder.

The Geng Metal Meteoric Iron and the two-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine are not what he needs at the moment, but the Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid is what he can use.

Behind the scenes of the contestants from the three planets, the individuals from Blue Star, Shuimang Star, and Red Flame Planet were clearly divided, each belonging to their own circle.

This is a gathering place for students from the Super Genius Class at Blue Star University, where they are all surrounded by tutors.

At that moment, a handsome young man with regular features walked into the backstage area.

The young man had a calm and collected expression on his face. He nodded slightly to the passing mentors, a confident smile playing on his lips.

Upon seeing the boy, many students from the Super Genius Class came forward to greet him.

"Brother Jiang!"

"Hello, Brother Jiang!"

The boy simply responded with an "uh-huh" to the students who greeted him.

Qin Ruoxi and Cheng Xiaoxiao spotted the boy in the crowd and quickly ran over to him.

Qin Ruoxi rushed ahead and stood in front of the young man, saying sweetly, "Brother Jiang Yuan, you've finally returned from Outer Stars!"

The young man saw Qin Ruoxi, smiled, and nodded, saying, "I was away for a while this time, but I've had quite a fruitful trip."

"Cousin!"

Cheng Xiaoxiao arrived at the boy's side at this moment, shouting loudly with a look of surprise on her face.

The young man glanced at Cheng Xiaoxiao, frowned slightly, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I remember that before I left, you were already in the late Blood Refining Stage, very close to the Blood Refining Stage Perfection. If I'm not mistaken, you are still in the late stage of Blood Refining Stage now."

Many days have passed since my trip to Outer Stars. Have I not been training properly?

"No, cousin, I've been practicing martial arts diligently, but my progress has been slow. After all, my talent can't compare to yours," Cheng Xiaoxiao said.

"Yes, I can vouch for that. Xiaoxiao has indeed been practicing martial arts diligently during this time," Qin Ruoxi said, raising her hand.

The young man then looked at Qin Ruoxi and said calmly, "I haven't had a chance to talk to you yet, Ruoxi. You've been at the Blood Refining Stage Perfection for quite a while now, haven't you? Why haven't you started Blood Tempering yet?"

"Cousin, you're amazing! You've only been back from Outer Stars for less than a minute, and you've already figured out our cultivation levels!" Cheng Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise.

"My Mental Power is sharp, Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, my five senses have improved to another level. You can't hide from me whether you've been diligently practicing martial arts during this time."

Qin Ruoxi chuckled and said, "Brother Jiang Yuan is truly amazing. I've been working so hard to recruit people for you these past few days, which has not only distracted me, but I was also punished by my grandfather and sent to the Northwest Frontline to hunt Exotic Beast. How could I possibly concentrate on practicing martial arts?"

"You were punished by Elder Qin?" The young man was taken aback.

"Yeah, it's all because of you. You don't even comfort her, and you blame me for not practicing martial arts properly, humph!"

Qin Ruoxi crossed her arms and pouted.

"I can attest that Ruoxi has been having a really tough time lately. Although Elder Qin brought Ruoxi back from the Northwest Frontline, he's been punishing Ruoxi almost every day and has cut off a lot of Ruoxi martial arts resources, leaving her to deal with it all herself," Cheng Xiaoxiao explained.

"Then I'll pay a visit to Old Master Qin tomorrow and try to persuade him. Tell him what happened," the young man said.

Qin Ruoxi thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it, it's all over now. I think my grandfather is almost over it. Let's not make things worse at this crucial moment."

The young man nodded and asked, "I saw the message you sent me before, saying you helped me recruit someone? Who is it?"

"Don't even mention it, he didn't agree, and I got punished by Grandpa because of it," Qin Ruoxi said, looking annoyed.

Cheng Xiaoxiao said, "Cousin, the person Ruoxi mentioned is named Chen Lie. He's already in the top twenty of the Blood Qi Ranking and has eight times the Strength Value. I'm afraid he'll be difficult to recruit."

"Eight times the Strength Value?"

A glint of light flashed in the young man's eyes.

On the Blood Qi Ranking and Blood Qi Ranking, besides the top ten, there are probably only seven or eight people whose Strength Value reach eight times the average.

Once your Strength Value exceeds eight times, you have the potential to reach the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm. Many people in the top fifty of the Blood Qi Ranking Strength Value and cannot make any further progress. This is because eight times Strength Value is a huge hurdle. Anyone who can break through eight times Strength Value on Blue Star is a genius among geniuses.

Cheng Xiaoxiao is right. The top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking are all proud and arrogant individuals, making them indeed difficult to recruit.

So the young man said, "So, this is the person who caused you to be punished by Elder Qin. Should I step in and teach him a lesson to vent your anger?"

Qin Ruoxi said, "No need, Brother Jiang Yuan. Chen Lie has a good relationship with a friend of mine, so we can't make things too ugly."

Besides, he has some past grievances with Huo Jinghong, so I think you still have a chance to recruit him, since you can protect him."

"Oh? Is that so? I understand."

The boy nodded.

At this moment, Zheng Dongyang, the tutor of the Super Genius Class, arrived.

"Jiang Yuan is back? How was it? You spent so long in Outer Stars, did you gain anything?"

Zheng Dongyang approached the boy and patted him on the shoulder.

"Uncle Zheng," the young man greeted him, then said, "This trip to Outer Stars has yielded some results."

"You've come back just in time. It just so happens that the people from Red Flame Planet and Shuimang Star have opened up Blue Star. Yang Jiannan, the martial arts champion from Red Flame Planet, should be no less skilled than you. Even Hao Yulong is no match for him. You could spar with him."

"Sparring with opponents of similar skill level should be helpful to your martial arts." Zheng Dongyang said.

"I understand, Uncle Zheng!" The boy nodded.

Zheng Dongyang nodded, walked into the group of students in the Super Genius Class, and clapped his hands.

Immediately, many students from the Super Genius Class turned to look at Zheng Dongyang.

"Classmates, some new students have recently joined the Genius Class. You may not recognize the student next to me."

Now let me introduce this student to you. His name is Jiang Yuan. Lanjing Martial Leader and sixth on the Blood Qi Ranking. He is the first person on Blue Star to break through the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm.

Vice Principal Qin had previously appointed Jiang Yuan as the head captain of the Super Genius Class, so in important occasions, everyone should try to follow Jiang Yuan's arrangements.

The authorities have already wiped out a number of lurking rebel forces, so you don't need to worry about danger on the planet. This public martial arts competition is to showcase your talents to the young people of Blue Star. Later, many reporters from the Blue Star Times will be interviewing you. If you don't mind your identities being revealed, please cooperate as much as possible."

As soon as Zheng Dongyang finished speaking, the students below answered one after another, "Understood!"

Behind the crowd, Ruan Liuyun pointed to Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan and said, "See that boy? That's Jiang Yuan, the Lanjing Martial Leader. He's not only sixth on the Blood Qi Ranking, but also eighth on the Divine Sense Master Ranking. His cultivated Consciousness Spirit is a top-tier Earth-Grade Consciousness Spirit, making him a genius in the first tier of Blue Star."

What's even more incredible is that he just turned eighteen this month; his talent is truly one in a million.

Chen Lie and Ji Lingxuan looked in the direction Ruan Liuyun was pointing and indeed saw a handsome young man.

Although they were more than ten meters apart, Chen Lie instantly realized that the boy's cultivation level was at the Aperture Refining Stage, having broken through to the second aperture, the Spirit Aperture.

Yang Jiannan is on the same level as the martial arts champion from Red Flame Planet.

To be able to cultivate to the Spirit Aperture on Blue Star, that talent is absolutely top-notch.

"Wow, it really is Jiang Yuan, the Martial Leader of Lanjing! Jiang Yuan's my idol!"

Behind Chen Lie, Xia Ziying's eyes were already sparkling as she stared adoringly at the boy who was the center of attention.

Xu Wanqing, who was standing next to her, scoffed and said, "Look at you, so pathetic, like a brainless fan chasing after a celebrity from over a hundred years ago."

Xia Ziying immediately said, "You're not from Lanjing, so of course you don't know Jiang Yuan's importance among us Lanjing people."

When I first joined the Lanjing Genius Training Camp, Jiang Yuan had already surpassed me, becoming the new Lanjing Martial Leader of Blue Star Martial Arts as a new member of the Blue Star Genius Group, defeating the previous Martial Leader.

He was undefeated, as if a god had descended to earth. He was the idol of 90 million young girls and boys in Lanjing, and of course, he was my idol too.

Xu Wanqing scoffed, her laughter tinged with disdain.

She is also the Martial Leader of one of the top ten provinces on Blue Star. In her own province, she is the center of attention and highly sought after, so naturally she wouldn't blindly worship others.

Of the Assistant Instructor Group, apart from Xia Ziying, who was from Lanjing, none of them reacted.

At this moment, disciples from the Red Flame Planet Imperial Academy and the Shuimang Star Martial Academy approached the students of the Super Genius Class.

On the Blue Star University side, led by Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, and Hao Yulong, they negotiated with Red Flame Planet and Shuimang Star.

Zhu Jingfei, the fifth prince of the Great Flame Dynasty Red Flame Planet, approached the three. Upon seeing Jiang Yuan, who stood in the main seat, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "You must be Jiang Yuan, the sixth of the Blue Star Ten Elites?"

I am Zhu Jingfei of the Great Yan Dynasty!

Jiang Yuan also cupped his hands in greeting to Zhu Jingfei: "Brother Zhu, you are too kind. On my journey to the Outer Stars, I will be studying under a renowned teacher alongside Princess Lingyan Zhu Jingxi of your esteemed dynasty."

Princess Lingyan's martial arts skills are truly astounding. This suggests that Brother Zhu's martial arts must also possess unique strengths. We can find some time to spar, and I humbly request Brother Zhu's guidance."

Zhu Jingfei said, "I am quite ashamed. Although Jing Xi is my younger sister, her martial arts cultivation is still above mine. In our Great Yan Dynasty, only the Crown Prince of Great Yan is slightly stronger than her. I'm afraid I will disappoint Brother Jiang."

However, if Brother Jiang wishes to spar, Yang Jiannan, the top martial arts scholar of our Great Yan Dynasty, is exceptionally skilled and could be your opponent."

"Oh?"

Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on a young man behind Zhu Jingfei.

He had cultivated his Mental Power to a high level, and with a single probe of his divine sense, he sensed the opponent's formidable strength. Instantly, he felt his own Mental Power being dispersed by the opponent's abundant blood and qi.

Jiang Yuan, without changing his expression, cupped his hands to Yang Jiannan and said, "I am Jiang Yuan, greetings to Brother Yang."

"Brother Jiang, you're too kind."

Yang Jiannan returned the gesture with a bow, his face expressionless.

Then, Jiang Yuan looked at the martial arts academy disciples of Shuimang Star, led by Yan Qingwu.

"You must be the distinguished guest from Shuimang Star? I am Jiang Yuan."

Yan Qingwu knew that the leaders of Red Flame Planet and Blue Star were both at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm. As someone who had not yet reached the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm, she felt inferior in front of these people, so she felt very uncomfortable.

But there was nothing she could do. After all, she was the senior disciple of the Shuimang Star Martial Academy, and dealing with these leading geniuses from outer space was her duty.

My name is Yan Qingwu.

Yan Qingwu didn't say much and simply stepped aside.

At this moment, a large number of reporters from official media outlets such as the Bluejing Times and Blue Star Times flooded into the backstage area. A dozen reporters began a round of interviews with the geniuses from Blue Star and Outer Stars.

Among the Red Flame Planet people, Zhu Jingshu stood behind her Imperial Brother, Zhu Jingfei, and looked at Jiang Yuan, who was talking eloquently, with some curiosity.

Is this person a leading figure among the younger generation on Blue Star? And what about Chen Lie?

The being who cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ' Bi'an ' is far more powerful than her Pseudo-Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ' Illusion Heart Cloud Butterfly '.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, only her eldest Imperial Brother, the Great Yan Dynasty Prince, could be compared to a genius with Mental Power who had cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit.

Or is this simply a case of Blue Star's apparent defeat due to its genius?

Zhu Jingshu's gaze swept around before finally spotting Chen Lie at the very back. She stepped out from the ranks of the Red Flame Planet, walked gracefully to Chen Lie, and gave a dignified curtsy.

"Your Excellency Chen Lie, Jing Shu greets you."

Seeing the princess of Red Flame Planet bowing so Zheng Zhong to Chen Lie, the members of Ruan Liuyun's Assistant Instructor Group were all puzzled.

Xia Ziying couldn't help but say, "This princess of Red Flame Planet is quite polite, huh?"

Xu Wanqing retorted, "Nonsense! Back then, she relied on her Mental Power to defeat countless opponents on the Blood Qi Ranking Refining Ranking, Blood Refining Stage Perfection to the Blood Tempering stage. I've never seen her be this polite then!"

Dong Jingtian, standing to the side, stroked his chin and said, "The Great Yan Dynasty on Red Flame Planet is a feudal society with a strict hierarchy. No matter how polite a princess is, she shouldn't be so servile."

Chen Lie raised his hand and said, "No need to be so polite."

Zhu Jingshu smiled slightly, "That's the way things are."

On Blue Star, Your Excellency Chen Lie should be equivalent to my eldest Imperial Brother and the Great Yan.

On Red Flame Planet, besides her father, mother, Imperial Uncle, and other elders, only her Imperial Brother was worthy of such respect from Jing Shu Jing Shu.

Xu Wanqing couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that? Who is your eldest Imperial Brother?"

"Naturally, he will be the Crown Prince of my Great Yan Dynasty, the future Emperor of Great Yan," Zhu Jingshu said.

Zhu Jingshu's words left Xu Wanqing and the others even more confused.

Just as she was about to ask a question, Qin Ruoxi suddenly walked over from the crowd and came up behind Zhu Jingshu.

"Oh, Zhu Jingshu? Didn't you come to Blue Star to find someone? Now that the person has arrived, do you need me to introduce you?"

Zhu Jingshu paused for a moment, then looked at Qin Ruoxi and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Jing Shu, but I no longer need an introduction."

"What?" Qin Ruoxi asked curiously, "Weren't you looking for someone? Now you're not looking anymore?"

Zhu Jingshu tilted her head. "But Jing Shu has already found someone and they get along very well, so there's no need for you to introduce me again."

Qin Ruoxi found it strange. "Isn't the person you're looking for Jiang Yuan? He just returned to Blue Star today, how come you're already having such a pleasant conversation?"
