Wenren Qingyue's Challenge
Upon hearing this voice, Chen Lie immediately turned around.
A young girl, not very old and with a fresh and beautiful appearance, walked up quickly.
"I remember, your name is Chen Lie, right?"
The beautiful young woman came before Chen Lie.
"Do you know me?"
The beautiful young woman was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but say, "What? You've actually forgotten me?"
I, Wenren Qingyue of Canglong Star, once won a match against you in the Virtual Duel Arena.
"I must have been the strongest opponent you encountered during the Organ Refining Stage, right? How could you forget me?"
"Wenren Qingyue?"
Mu Yunyao was next to Chen Lie, suddenly exclaimed.
Is Canglong Star Wenren Qingyue the Wenren Qingyue she knows? If so, that would be quite remarkable.
"Oh, I remember now, did you call me because you needed something?"
Chen Lie remembered that he had been matched with Wenren Qingyue in the Genius Hundred-Match Streak.
At that time, Chen Lie had cultivated two organs, while Wenren Qingyue was in the Organ Refining Late Stage and had already cultivated four organs.
In the Genius Hundred-Match Streak, Wenren Qingyue was the strongest Organ Refining Stage he had encountered besides Feng Lingxi, the Holy Maiden of Blood God Planet.
Chen Lie possesses Tough Skin Resilient Flesh, Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone, Viscera Refining Vajra, and Strength Value more than twelve times greater than others.
However, Wenren Qingyue also used a special cultivation method to Skin Refining Muscle Refining, and during the Bone Refining stage, she cultivated a first-class Treasure Bone. Her methods of Organ Refining were also far superior to those of Blue Star.
Although these cultivation methods are not as good as Chen Lie's, she is slightly higher than Chen Lie in terms of realm, having refined two more internal organs than him.
In addition, Wenren Qingyue's Strength Value was already close to 12 times that of the others, almost wiping out the gap in physique and physical fitness. Therefore, Chen Lie ultimately won by relying on the power of his Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone.
This Wenren Qingyue is probably the most outstanding martial arts genius in the Canglan Star Domain.
"Since my debut, I have never tasted defeat in the same realm, but I never expected to taste defeat at your hands."
But thinking about it, I was only at the Organ Refining Late Stage back then, while you must have already Organ Refining.
However, this small difference is negligible in my opinion.
I am now at the Blood Refining Stage Perfection, having undergone two Blood Tempering trials. Do you dare to fight me again?
Wenren Qingyue pointed at Chen Lie and questioned him with a tone full of resentment.
During her Organ Refining Late Stage period, she had few rivals among those in the Organ Refining Stage; many top geniuses on Canglong Star who Organ Refining Stage Completion were defeated by her.
She had been holding a grudge about her defeat in the Virtual Duel Arena, and she never expected to meet this kid in the Sumeru Illusion Realm today. In order to get rid of her obsession and to make her mind clear when she practiced martial arts, she naturally had to fight Chen Lie again.
At this moment, an older woman stepped forward and asked with some surprise, "Qingyue, you just said that this person defeated you when he was in the Organ Refining Stage?"
Wenren Qingyue nodded slightly, but explained, "That's because I'm only at the Organ Refining Late Stage, while he's probably at the peak of the Organ Refining Realm, and I was a little careless at the time."
The woman was taken aback. She knew Wenren Qingyue's strength. At the mid-stage of the Organ Refining Stage, she was already virtually unmatched in the entire Organ Refining Stage. This could not be explained by underestimating her opponent.
She looked at Chen Lie, her eyes filled with scrutiny.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? I challenge you to another fight. Do you dare to accept?"
Seeing that Chen Lie did not answer, Wenren Qingyue asked again.
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "No interest!"
Upon hearing this, Wenren Qingyue immediately said, "Not interested? I think you're scared, aren't you?"
Chen Lie chuckled, "Interpret it however you like."
"You..."
Wenren Qingyue was furious when she saw Chen Lie's attitude.
However, she quickly changed her tone. "How about this, if you're willing to have a fight with me, I'll add a prize: if you can defeat me, I'll give you an SSSS-Rank Martial Art."
"Qingyue, you..."
Wenren Qingyue like this, the woman beside her immediately tried to offer some words of comfort.
"Senior, don't worry about it. I won't be at peace until we've settled things today!"
Wenren Qingyue directly rejected the woman's advice.
"What kind of S-Rank Martial Art are you talking about? To be honest, I have no use for it."
Wenren Qingyue snorted and said, "Then tell me, what kind of prize do you want? As long as it's not too outrageous, I can provide it."
"You can provide all of that?" Chen Lie sized up Wenren Qingyue and asked, "What is your background? Do you belong to the elite class of Canglong Star?"
"You don't need to ask about my background. I, Wenren Qingyue, always keep my word. Once I've made a promise to you, I won't go back on it."
"You're not even willing to reveal your background, how am I supposed to know if you're capable of getting what I want?" Chen Liedao.
At this moment, Mu Yunze, who was standing next to Chen Lie, secretly sent a message: "Sir, if this Wenren Qingyue is really the Wenren Qingyue I know, then she can most likely obtain anything that exists in the Canglan Star Domain."
Chen Lie asked in return, "What is this person's identity?"
Mu Yunyao: "I've only heard of it, I've never seen it in person. The granddaughter of the president of Canglong Starry Sky University, I think her name is Wenren Qingyue."
The granddaughter of the Starry Sky University Principal? That certainly puts her among the top elites on Canglong Star.
The president of Starry Sky University, on Canglong Star, should hold a position no lower than that of Lei Jinglong, the Blue Star University President, on Blue Star.
On Blue Star, the only people whose status is subtly higher than Lei Jinglong are the president of the Divine Sense Master Association, the president of the Martial Artist Association, and the Blue Star Global Administrator.
These individuals were not in a superior-subordinate relationship with Lei Jinglong; they were only slightly higher than Lei Jinglong by half a level. After all, each of the ninth-tier peak Grandmaster was a top-tier combat force on Blue Star, and they were ultimately on the same level.
Similarly, the president of Starry Sky University must be a top expert from Canglong Star. Starry Sky University recruits students from the entire Canglan Star Domain, and if the president is not a top expert from the Star Region, he cannot control the various forces.
Upon learning this news, Chen Lie looked at Wenren Qingyue with a meaningful gaze.
"What kind of look is that? Don't you believe in my abilities? Tell me first, what prize do you want?" Wenren Qingyue said again.
"I need Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid that can be used by someone who Blood Tempering more than twelve times. Can you afford it?"
Upon hearing this, Wenren Qingyue exclaimed, "What? Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid that Twelfth Blood Tempering temperings? You're asking for an exorbitant price!"
"What makes you so arrogant if you can't afford it? You're wasting my time!"
Wenren Qingyue almost laughed in anger, and immediately nodded, saying, "Alright, it's as you say. As long as you can defeat me, I'll give you the Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid that has Twelfth Blood Tempering!"
"Words are no proof."
Wenren Qingyue was taken aback. "What do you mean? Do you think I Wenren Qingyue, would renege on my debt?"
"Who can say for sure?"
"You can go to Starry Sky University and ask around. I Wenren Qingyue, am not so foolish as to break my promise for a Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid," Wenren Qingyue said.
At this moment, the woman next to Wenren Qingyue walked up and said calmly, "My name is Wen Ruying, a student in the Sword Dao Department Starry Sky University."
"I can vouch for Qingyue; if she goes back on her word, I will compensate you for this Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid."
Chen Lie had never heard of Wen Ruying before. He turned to Mu Yunyao beside him and asked, "Have you heard of Wen Ruying? Is she very famous?"
Mu Yunyao nodded and said, "Wen Ruying is one of the best students in the Sword Dao Department of Starry Sky University, and she is indeed very famous."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie nodded and said, "Since someone has vouched for me, I accept your challenge."
Wenren Qingyue said, "Don't be too smug. Only by defeating me can you obtain the Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid."
"I understand, let's begin!"
With a wave of her hand, Wenren Qingyue conjured a Duel Platform that suddenly rose from the ground within the vast hall.
She leaped onto the Duel Platform and Chen Liedao below, "I won't take advantage of you. I've already Blood Tempering Perfection, and now I've completed two Blood Tempering. Report your cultivation level, and I'll have the Sumeru Illusion Realm suppress my cultivation level to be the same as yours."
Chen Lie also jumped onto the Duel Platform: "No need for that. I've undergone three Blood Tempering. Do you need me to suppress my cultivation level to match yours?"
"I don't quite understand the rules of the Sumeru Illusion Realm either, how is the realm suppressed?"
"There's no need. After one Blood Tempering, the difference is negligible. I'll let you gain this small advantage," Wenren Qingyue said calmly.
Chen Lie chuckled. This Outer Stars genius was indeed arrogant. However, he still said, "So, when you lose later, you won't use that as an excuse to deny it, will you?"
Wenren Qingyue's eyebrows shot up immediately. "What kind of person do you think I am Wenren Qingyue?"
"Rest assured, on this Duel Platform, whatever means you use, as long as you can defeat me, I will gladly offer you the Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid!"
In fact, Chen Lie didn't have much of an advantage in terms of cultivation level, because he was in the late stage of Blood Refining, while Wenren Qingyue had already reached the perfection of Blood Refining.
This shift in level has leveled off the difference in skill level.
Let's begin!
Wenren Qingyue knew that Chen Lie was no ordinary person, so she naturally dared not take him lightly.
As soon as the battle began, she unleashed the full power of her accumulated Blood-Qi Stage abilities.
He immediately unleashed Canglong Star martial art that surpassed the three S-level of Blue Star.
"Ultimate Ice Profound Hand!"
A storm of qi and blood swirled around Wenren Qingyue, and she kept waving her two small hands at Chen Lie.
Countless plain-colored palm prints fell towards Chen Lie like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.
Chen Lie's blood and qi surged, and he unleashed a hundred-meter-long blood and qi dragon with his backhand, blocking all the palm prints that Wenren Qingyue struck.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie gathered his qi and blood and unleashed a palm strike.
"Boom"
The moment the powerful palm strike was unleashed, Wenren Qingyue pushed her hands horizontally, deflecting the force.
At the same time, she was forced to retreat repeatedly by the force of the palm strike.
"How can he be so strong?"
Wenren Qingyue was startled. Before she could react, Chen Lie launched a fierce attack.
Wenren Qingyue remained unfazed and charged forward, engaging Chen Lie in fierce combat.
During the battle, Wenren Qingyue continuously unleashed her advanced martial arts techniques, while Chen Lie's Wenren Qingyue appeared somewhat weak in comparison.
He had never practiced any powerful martial arts; he only used simple combat techniques from the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique>.
The <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> was not originally a method for combat, so Chen Lie avoided the powerful martial arts used by Wenren Qingyue and relied solely on his combat skills and strong physique to fight back.
Advanced martial arts are not like low-level martial arts. Chen Lie's aptitude is limited. Even with the martial arts insights of a Ninth-Order Grandmaster, it would still take a lot of hard work to fully understand an SSS-level advanced martial art. He would rather focus on improving his cultivation level than put in that effort.
In just two minutes, Chen Lie had exchanged hundreds of moves with Wenren Qingyue. Even though he had shortcomings in martial arts, he still managed to overpower Wenren Qingyue.
By this time, a large crowd had gathered below the Duel Platform.
"Someone's actually fighting right here in the martial arts arena! How impatient they must be!"
"These two fighters are still in the Blood-Qi Stage, seemingly not yet at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow realm, but their power is extraordinary!"
"That person on stage looks vaguely familiar..."
Standing before the crowd, Wen Ruying's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She Wenren Qingyue's strength all too well; she was virtually unmatched among those of the same realm on Canglong Star. Why was she being suppressed by this person in battle?
"Sister, is this gentleman's cultivation level only at the Blood Refining Stage? It's about the same as mine."
Mu Yunze asked Mu Yunyao.
Mu Yunyao said softly, "It is very difficult to increase Strength Value. For example, on our Haoran Star, so many people wasted a year in the Blood-Qi Like Slurry Realm just to increase their Strength Value by a fraction of a factor."
This gentleman's Strength Value so high; he must have spent a long time honing his skills in the Blood-Qi Stage, which is why his martial arts level has fallen.
"I see!" Mu Yunze nodded.
On the Duel Platform, Wenren Qingyue once again unleashed a powerful martial art from Canglong Star.
"Cangpoint Cloud-Winding Finger!"
Wenren Qingyue spread her ten fingers, her fingertips sparkling with starlight, countless rays of light shooting out from her fingertips.
In an instant, countless finger beams formed a dense, crisscrossing net, raining down on Chen Lie.
Chen Lie's qi and blood circulated rapidly, and the powerful qi and blood surged forward, transforming into blood energy that directly dispersed the countless finger beams.
"Take this!"
Chen Lie unleashed his inner energy and, before Wenren Qingyue could react, delivered a powerful punch.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, Wenren Qingyue, despite being prepared to defend herself, was still knocked back by Chen Lie's punch.
Chen Lie relentlessly pursued and struck Wenren Qingyue dozens of times in an instant.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sounds of blood and qi exploding were deafening. Wenren Qingyue was unable to defend herself and was hit by several heavy punches from Chen Lie, directly knocking her off the Duel Platform.
Below the Duel Platform, Wenren Qingyue only realized she had been defeated once again the moment she landed.
She had faced the enemy with utmost caution and gave it her all, yet she still lost. Why was that?
"Looks like I won. Don't forget to prepare the Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid used for the Twelfth Blood Tempering."
Chen Lie jumped directly off the Duel Platform.
"Have you really only undergone three Blood Tempering?"
Wenren Qingyue looked incredulous. The difference between one Blood Tempering and the previous one was small, but given her foundation in blood energy and physique, it couldn't be erased by just one Blood Tempering.
She couldn't believe that she had been defeated so completely simply because she had only had one less Blood Tempering than her opponent.
