Emergency Situation

Feng Shuangshuang, of course, did not give a direct response to Zheng Shuwen.

Chen Lie arts skills are so strong, he must have his own considerations when doing things. I don't know anything about the situation of the Super Genius Class, so I can't just listen to an outsider's words to advise him.

Seeing that Feng Shuangshuang did not react, Zheng Shuwen stopped talking.

A person who has come up from an impoverished province and gone through numerous selection processes must have a strong mind and will not change their opinion because of a few words from others.

Whether Feng Shuangshuang and the others try to persuade him or not, it's all the same. Since Chen Lie has already made a bet with him, unless he goes back on his word, he will eventually have to join their team.

After all, there is a considerable gap between each of the top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking. She is thirteenth, six places ahead of Chen Lie. Even if she stops improving her martial arts from now on, it is not something Chen Lie can catch up with in a short period of time.

Before long, the airship arrived at the First Campus, next to the Teaching Building of the Twentieth Key Class.

After disembarking from the airship, Zheng Shuwen said, "I will take you to report to Instructor Li Hua of the Twentieth Key Class in a little while."

After you register, I will take you to another place.

Lu Qingchan asked, puzzled, "Where?"

"A good place is the plaza of the Second Campus, where you can be allowed to make an exception and study the Crystal Pillar of the Second Campus," Zheng Shuwen replied.

"What is Crystal Pillar?" Lu Qingchan continued to ask, and Feng Shuangshuang and Wu Qianqian were also very curious.

"The twelve Crystal Pillar were awarded to Blue Star by the Interstellar Allied Forces because one of our Blue Star's Grandmaster Martial Artist graduated from Starry Sky University, became an officer in the Interstellar Allied Forces. During an operation to wipe out Star Bandit, this Grandmaster from Blue Star made extraordinary contributions, so the Outer Stars awarded Blue Star twelve Crystal Pillar containing secret techniques of Outer Stars martial arts."

These Crystal Pillar are like Psionic Crystal Card on Blue Star. If a person can successfully comprehend the martial arts secrets within a single Crystal Pillar, they can increase their Strength Value by 0.1 times.

Your Strength Value is probably less than five times the normal amount. If anyone can successfully comprehend five Crystal Pillar consecutively, their Strength Value will increase by at least 0.5 times.

"That's amazing?"

Feng Shuangshuang and the other two were all shocked. Normally, it was extremely difficult for them to increase their Strength Value by even 0.01 times. They never expected that Blue Star University would have such a magical thing. Just by comprehending the secret techniques of Outer Stars martial arts, they could increase their Strength Value by such a large margin.

"Only students in the Genius Class of Blue Star University are qualified to comprehend these Crystal Pillar, and each person is limited to three times."

Once the three attempts are used up, no further comprehension is allowed, because these Crystal Pillar also have a lifespan."

"This... even Genius Class students are limited to a certain number of attempts. Is it appropriate for us to have such a precious opportunity to comprehend it?" Feng Shuangshuang felt uneasy and unworthy of such an opportunity.

Zheng Shuwen also felt it was inappropriate, but it was her father's instruction, and it also gave her a chance to do Chen Lie a favor, so why wouldn't she do it?

Yesterday, her father specifically instructed her to ask Chen Lie to come with her to handle this matter, but Zheng Shuwen felt that she had nothing to say to Chen Lie, so she came alone.

If it weren't for the additional matter of comprehending the Crystal Pillar, Zheng Shuwen wouldn't have bothered making this trip herself.

"These are not things you need to worry about. All the formalities have been completed. You just need to follow my instructions."

After Zheng Shuwen finished speaking, she didn't say anything more, but led Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and Wu Qianqian directly to the office on the first floor of the Twentieth Key Class.

She walked ahead, knocked on the door and entered the office, standing before Li Hua, the tutor of the Twentieth Key Class.

"Hello, Professor Li. I have brought you three new students at the request of Professor Zheng Dongyang, the instructor of the Super Genius Class."

Li Hua stood up and said, "Professor Zheng has already spoken to me; the paperwork and Credit Card for the three students have been completed. What about the other three students?"

Upon seeing this, Zheng Shuwen immediately called out to the office again, "Come in!"

Upon hearing Zheng Shuwen's call, Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and Wu Qianqian entered the office.

"This is your tutor, Li Hua, from the Twentieth Key Class. Please introduce yourselves to him."

After Zheng Shuwen finished speaking, Feng Shuangshuang said first, "Hello, Professor Li, I am Feng Shuangshuang."

"My name is Lu Qingchan, hello professor."

"My name is Wu Qianqian."

Li Hua nodded and said, "Three students, this is the Teaching Building for our Twentieth Key Class. You can familiarize yourselves with the environment first. I will have the staff arrange your procedures, Credit Card, and new Dormitory for you later."

Next to the office is the classroom for our Twentieth Key Class. We'll have a martial arts class tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, and I'll introduce you to the other students during that class."

"Thank you, mentor!" Feng Shuangshuang and the other two said in unison.

"You are welcome!"

Li Hua waved his hand. These three people were introduced by Zheng Dongyang, the mentor of the Super Genius Class, so their backgrounds must be extraordinary. Only then did he pay a little more attention to them.

After saying this, Li Hua called over a staff member and asked him to show Feng Shuangshuang and the other two around the environment of the Twentieth Key Class.

After everything was done, Zheng Shuwen was already quite impatient and said, "Alright, you can come with me to the square in the Second Campus now."

Zheng Shuwen led Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and Wu Qianqian out of the Teaching Building of the Twentieth Key Class and arrived at the airship parking square again.

They quickly arrived at the plaza of the Second Campus, where the twelve Crystal Pillar stood.

After disembarking from the airship, Zheng Shuwen led the way, guiding Feng Shuangshuang and her group to the meditation area of Crystal Pillar.

Upon arriving, Feng Shuangshuang saw twelve crystal-clear Crystal Stone pillars, each at least seven or eight meters in diameter and a hundred meters high.

"This is the Crystal Pillar? How can it be so huge?" Feng Shuangshuang was stunned when she saw the enormous pillar.

"How can a small size store a massive amount of Mental Power?"

"But why are these twelve Crystal Stone pillars all different colors? Some are bright yellow, some are pale yellow?"

Zheng Shuwen was too lazy to explain to Feng Shuangshuang, so she said, "You don't need to ask about these things."

Remember, you can study the Crystal Pillar one by one, starting with the first one. Once you fail to study it, you can't continue, so you'd better cherish this opportunity."

Zheng Shuwen handed over the paperwork provided by her father, Zheng Dongyang, to the staff guarding the Crystal Pillar. She wasn't going to waste her time guarding it. After giving Feng Shuangshuang and the other two some instructions, she left.

Seeing Zheng Shuwen leave, Wu Qianqian immediately said, "Shuangshuang, I really benefited from your help this time. I didn't expect your cousin to be so influential in the Super Genius Class, able to arrange such a good thing for us."

Feng Shuangshuang didn't say much, but secretly noted Chen Lie's help. "The opportunity to comprehend the Crystal Pillar must be extremely precious, so everyone must be attentive when comprehending it."

"Then... let's begin to comprehend it!"

Lu Qingchan said, and then she, Feng Shuangshuang, and Wu Qianqian went to the first Crystal Pillar to study it.

Inside the plaza of the Thirteenth Campus, the Three-Star Sparring continues.

Apart from the Geng Metal Meteoric Iron from Red Flame Planet, the rewards from Blue Star and Shuimang Star have already been taken.

The reward from Shuimang Star was taken by Chen Lie, while the reward from Blue Star was taken by a man named Tao Xiuya from Red Flame Planet.

In half a day, Chen Lie Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid from the Shuimang Star to complete his third Blood Tempering. Although his strength improved, his cultivation level was still in the late stage of Blood Refining.

At lunchtime, Chen Lie ran into Ruan Liusu at the restaurant.

Ruan Liusu arrived later, and upon seeing Chen Lie, she immediately sat down opposite Chen Lie with her tray.

"Chen Lie, why didn't I see you in the sparring arena this morning?"

"I didn't go to the sparring area this morning."

"Oh, you're practicing martial arts, aren't you?"

Chen Lie nodded.

"This afternoon, Yan Qingwu and Shao Keyu from Shuimang Star are going to compete for the Geng Metal Meteoric Iron set up by Red Flame Planet. Are you interested in going to watch?"

"You can go and take a look."

Ruan Liusu smiled and said, "It is said that Geng Metal Meteoric Iron is an excellent material for forging weapons, but unfortunately we are not strong enough, otherwise I would like to try to make some."

"Although Geng Metal Meteoric Iron is not bad, for forging weapons, you still need a top-tier material from the star field. Otherwise, once you reach a certain cultivation level, the weapon will not match your strength, and you will have to face the problem of replacing the weapon," Chen Liedao.

"Huh? Wasn't Geng Metal Meteoric Iron supposed to be a top-quality material?" Ruan Liusu asked, puzzled.

"The materials are indeed excellent; weapons forged from Geng Metal Meteoric Iron can fully meet the needs of Grandmaster Martial Artist. However, once a martial artist breaks through to the Grandmaster realm, Geng Metal Meteoric Iron becomes somewhat inadequate."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Liusu immediately replied, "Grandmaster? That's still a long way off!"

"It's not far. If there's an opportunity in the future, I'll give you a material that's ten or even a hundred times better than Geng Metal Meteoric Iron."

Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Ruan Liusu's eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.

This was the first time Chen Lie had ever offered to give her something, and although it was currently just empty talk, it still made her feel happy.

"Okay, I'll keep that in mind."

However, it's only fair to reciprocate; if I receive a gift from you, I'll definitely prepare an equal gift for you."

Chen Lie didn't take it too seriously, quickly finished his meal, and left the restaurant with Ruan Liusu.

The sparring matches in the arena were still proceeding as usual.

Ruan Liusu led Chen Lie to the arena on Red Flame Planet.

At this moment, two young men were fighting on the arena. Their qi and blood surged as they exchanged blows, creating deafening sounds.

"Look, the two Duel Platform are Tao Xiuya and Shao Keyu from Red Flame Planet."

Upon arriving at the arena, Ruan Liusu introduced herself to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie grunted in agreement and began watching the battle on the Duel Platform.

If it weren't for the fact that each person could only obtain one of the maximum rewards set by the three stars, he would also fight for the Geng Metal Meteoric Iron and the two-thousand-year-old Spirit Medicine from Blue Star.

At that moment, a clear and melodious voice rang out.

"Chen Lie is here too? Do you perhaps have the leisure to watch such a martial arts competition?"

Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu turned around at the same time and saw a girl with Flying Cloud Bun and wearing a bright red Ancient Garments bowing to greet them.

"Chen Lie, this is..."

Ruan Liusu was taken aback and quickly asked.

"I am Zhu Jingshu from the Red Flame Planet!"

Zhu Jingshu bowed to Ruan Liusu with her hands clasped.

Ruan Liusu immediately guessed that the person in front of her was a member of the royal family of Red Flame Planet, so she replied, "Blue Star, Ruan Liusu."

Zhu Jingshu nodded slightly, then looked at Chen Lie Chen Liedao, "Since you have the leisure to watch the martial arts competition, you must be somewhat interested in the Geng Metal Meteoric Iron, right?"

Why not go up on stage and try your luck, and take the prize?

Before Chen Lie could speak, Ruan Liusu glared fiercely at Zhu Jingshu.

How could a woman from an official family in the feudal dynasty of Red Flame Planet be so quick-witted?

If someone had real ability, why would they just stand there watching? This girl is really good at putting people down.

"I have already obtained the Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid from Shuimang Star. According to the rules, one person can only obtain one maximum reward."

"Oh, I see..."

Zhu Jingshu nodded slightly.

"The person competing on the stage is Tao Xiuya, the son of the Minister of War of our Great Yan Dynasty, who is also the Provincial Governor to suppress the Great Peace Demon Sect."

The other one seems to be the Martial Arts Department champion from the fourth province of Blue Star, named Shao Keyu. I wonder if you can tell who is stronger between these two? And who will ultimately win?"

Chen Lie said directly, "Shao Keyu!"

"Oh? Why is that?" Zhu Jingshu, puzzled.

"Tao Xiuya has a trump card, which should be a killer move, but his regular combat strength is not as good as Shao Keyu's."

If he were to unleash his trump card, even if no one dies, the result would be a thousand casualties for the enemy and eight hundred for himself. In a life-or-death battle, he would have a better chance of winning.

But this is just a friendly sparring match; he can't possibly use his trump card. If this continues, Tao Xiuya will most likely be defeated.

Zhu Jingshu's eyes lit up and she said, "Your Excellency has excellent insight. As far as I know, Tao Xiuya does indeed possess a strange and extremely powerful martial art. When he uses it, he can often defeat the strong with the weak, but he will also pay a heavy price."

On the Duel Platform, Shao Keyu fought with increasing ferocity, his powerful energy permeating the arena.

Under Shao Keyu's series of attacks, Tao Xiuya finally showed signs of weakness, took a blow to the chest, and was knocked off the Duel Platform.

Just as Shao Keyu won, a loud alarm suddenly sounded throughout the Thirteenth Campus.

At the same time, countless troops from Blue Star University rushed into the training ground from all directions.

At that moment, an announcement came over the loudspeaker. "Urgent notice: Blue Star has been under severe attack. The Three-Star Sparring is temporarily suspended."

"We ask our Outer Stars friends to cooperate with the investigation by Blue Star University."

The broadcast repeated itself for nearly ten minutes.

Seeing the massive army rapidly pouring into the sparring arena, Ruan Liusu was puzzled and quickly asked, "Chen Lie, what's going on?"

"I don't know, perhaps some important person was assassinated," Chen Liedao.

"Assassination attempt?"

Wasn't it said that the rebel forces on Blue Star had been mostly wiped out? How could someone still be assassinated?

At this moment, Lei Jinglong, the president of Blue Star University, walked out of the square of the Thirteenth Campus with a dark face.

Standing before him was Lou Xueru, the vice president of Blue Star University and the director of the Genius Class.

"Director Lou, please tell me in detail how exactly the Crystal Pillar on the Second Campus were destroyed? How much was damaged?"
