Princess Lingyan

Han Keke glanced at Ji Lingxuan casually, then Chen Liedao, "Big brother, Zheng Dongyang asked you many times yesterday and the day before yesterday."

Of the top twenty people on the Blood Qi Ranking, you're the only one who hasn't sought out a sparring partner for actual combat.

If you don't come today, Professor Zheng will probably come looking for you in person.

There aren't many people around now. Why don't you find these second-year students from Blue Star University to spar with? At least it'll count as participating in some real combat, right?

Chen Lie nodded and glanced at the many Duel Platform inside and outside the Drill Hall. On each Duel Platform stood a person.

"Are these people all sparring partners?" Chen Lie asked.

"Yes, Drill Hall are all first-level Martial Artist at the ' True Qi Generation ' realm, while those outside are second-level Martial Artist at the ' Qi Flowing Through the Body ' realm."

Someone like me, who has undergone four Blood Tempering, can only spar with sparring partners at the Tier 1 Initial Stage.

"I observed that Shao Keyu from Lingnan could only barely hold his own against a peak first-tier sparring partner after eight Blood Tempering, and he would be defeated after twenty or thirty moves."

"I see!"

Chen Lie nodded. If someone is already at the Blood Refining Stage Perfection, or has even undergone several Blood Tempering, their strength will increase significantly once they cultivate True Qi.

The combined power of Qi and True Qi and True Qi complement each other. Even someone who has undergone Fourth Blood Tempering in the Blood-Qi Like Slurry Realm and has reached the mid-to-late stage of Martial Artist Level 1 can suppress someone who has undergone seven or eight Blood Tempering.

Moreover, Martial Artist cultivate True Qi can practice martial arts techniques.

Martial arts, the art of martial arts, is a realm that only Martial Artist have cultivated True Qi can access, and it is even more wondrous than the martial arts cultivated at the Blood-Qi Stage.

If someone who Blood Refining Stage Perfection Fourth Blood Tempering breaks through to the second level of the True Qi Realm, the ' Qi Flowing Through the Body the Body' realm, and then cultivates a powerful martial art, they can rival someone at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm.

Just as Chen Lie was trying to choose a sparring partner, Zheng Dongyang, the instructor of the Super Genius Class, suddenly arrived at the Drill Hall.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Zheng Dongyang immediately walked over. "Chen Lie, isn't it time for you to start honing your combat skills today?"

"Professor Zheng!"

Chen Lie greeted them, saying, "I was just about to choose a sparring partner."

"Then let me recommend one to you? According to the records of the Super Genius Class, your current strength should be around the Fourth Blood Tempering, right?"

Then I'll recommend one to you.

Zheng Dongyang looked around at the many sparring partners present. With his strength after four rounds of Blood Tempering, he could at most deal with Martial Artist at the Tier 1 Initial Stage. The top twenty on the Blood Qi Ranking probably had this kind of strength.

"Instructor Zheng, I have now undergone eight Blood Tempering!"

"What? Eight times of Blood Tempering?"

Zheng Dongyang was taken aback, and his Grandmaster Realm perception immediately began to observe Chen Lie.

After a moment, he exclaimed in shock, "Not bad! With such a strong physique and abundant blood and qi, after eight Blood Tempering, it's only stronger, not weaker."

"Chen Lie, when did you reach this level?"

"I've had some recent insights into martial arts, and I only reached this level yesterday."

Although Chen Lie has only undergone Fourth Blood Tempering, he is by no means weaker than someone who has undergone eight Blood Tempering, and may even be stronger than someone who has undergone eight Blood Tempering.

"Good! Reaching this level will definitely allow me to break through to the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm before the Permanent Council Planet Competition."

With his Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit combined with the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, Zheng Dongyang guessed that Chen Lie would likely become the top-tier combatant in the Blood-Qi Stage of martial arts competition.

"Now that your martial arts have reached this level, go and spar with Xu Bingyan on the opposite stage (number 5) in the Drill Hall."

Xu Bingyan is at the late stage of the first rank, and during the Blood Refining Stage, she has tempered her blood and qi five times. She is your opponent."

"Good!"

Chen Lie nodded and walked directly to the fifth Duel Platform.

On Duel Platform number 5, a girl dressed in a light blue dress saw someone walk up and immediately went to the center of the opposite stage.

"Would you like to spar with me?"

The girl in the blue dress looked at Chen Lie and asked a question.

"Good, let's begin!"

Xu Bingyan nodded slightly and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Bingyan, a second-year student in the fourth Genius Class on Blue Star, and I am at the late stage of the first level of the True Qi Realm."

"Chen Lie, ranked 19th on the Blood Qi Ranking, has undergone eight Blood Tempering."

"What? Blood Qi Ranking, with eight Blood Tempering?"

Xu Bingyan was taken aback. Just as she was about to ask a question, Chen Lie threw a punch at her.

Before Xu Bingyan's shocked gaze, Chen Lie's fist, imbued with surging blood and qi, landed instantly.

"Boom!"

A tremendous sound rang out, and due to the immense pressure of the qi and blood, the air began to explode continuously.

Caught off guard, Xu Bingyan was punched by Chen Lie and ended up covered in dust.

Xu Bingyan snorted, "You naughty junior, you have no sportsmanship, you actually launched a surprise attack, then don't blame your senior for teaching you a lesson."

With a wave of her hand, Xu Bingyan unleashed a powerful burst of True Qi, striking Chen Lie with a series of consecutive palm strikes.

Chen Lie neither dodged nor avoided Xu Bingyan, and they faced off head-on.

"Boom boom boom"

On the opposite platform where the two were fighting, their blood and True Qi clashed and collided, the reverberating sound echoing throughout the entire Drill Hall.

Watching Chen Lie with his second-year sparring partner from Blue Star University with such impressive skill, Han Keke immediately exclaimed, "Wow, big brother! I never knew your martial arts skills were this strong!"

Ji Lingxuan, who was standing next to Chen Lie, looked at him with surprise on her face again.

Isn't Chen Lie's progress in martial arts a bit too fast?

It seems she needs to work even harder.

Zheng Dongyang, watching from afar, realized that Xu Bingyan Chen Lie 'Chen Lie strength was far more than just eight Blood Tempering.

At this moment, Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou, the president of the Martial Artist Association, walked into the Drill Hall.

"Wasn't the one who made the move on stage Chen Lie, the student from that day?" Wang Shou suddenly asked.

Zheng Dongyang turned around and saw Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou, and said, "Chairman Wang, Principal Lei!"

"That's right, the one on stage is Chen Lie."

Wang Shou nodded and said, "That's right, he not only has a good talent for Mental Power, but his martial arts skills are also quite good."

"How did Chen Lie's strength improve so quickly? To be able to fight against a late-stage first-tier student in the second-year Genius Class, he must have undergone at least eight Blood Tempering, right?" Lei Jinglong asked in confusion.

Zheng Dongyang said, "Chen Lie said that he has currently undergone eight Blood Tempering."

Wang Shou, the president of the Martial Artist Association, watched the battle on the Duel Platform for a long while before slowly nodding and saying, "Principal Lei, I remember that last time you mobilized Half a Cubic Fathom of Star Liquid to exchange for resources from Outer Stars for this student, right?"

"Good choice! Even disregarding his talent for Mental Power, this student is worth nurturing."

Lei Jinglong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Chairman Wang had seen through Chen Lie's extraordinary abilities?

"However, why didn't he use his martial arts skills when he fought to such an extent?" Wang Shou found this very strange.

After Wang Shou said that, Lei Jinglong and Zheng Dongyang also noticed that Chen Lie seemed to have not used any martial arts techniques from beginning to end.

On the Duel Platform, Chen Lie and Xu Bingyan had already exchanged thousands of blows.

Under such intense fighting, Xu Bingyan gradually felt a sense of exhaustion.

"How is this possible? I, a second-year Genius Class student, can't beat a first-year student?"

Xu Bingyan was filled with confusion. Back when she was in the Blood-Qi Stage, she was also at the Blood Refining Stage Perfection, having undergone five Blood Tempering, making her a top-notch martial arts genius. She also knew that the Blood-Qi Martial Way on Blue Star had developed rapidly this year, with many rising stars emerging.

As a sparring partner who has undergone eight Blood Tempering stages, her strength surpasses anyone outside the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking. If a comparison must be made, her strength is roughly equivalent to a Blood Tempering Blood Refining Stage Perfection. How could she possibly be inferior to Chen Lie has undergone eight Blood Tempering?

Even after such an intense battle, she was already feeling exhausted, so why was her opponent still so energetic?

Without giving it much thought, Xu Bingyan, not wanting to lose and embarrass herself, unleashed her still-not-quite-skill martial arts before she was completely exhausted.

"Crimson Cloud Palm!"

Xu Bingyan unleashed a series of True Qi strikes imbued with true qi towards Chen Lie in an instant.

"Boom boom boom!"

Facing the massive palm prints of True Qi falling upon him, Chen Lie unleashed a punch, "Flood Dragon Emerging from the Sea," and the solidified dragon of blood and energy instantly pierced through the palm prints, surging towards Xu Bingyan.

Xu Bingyan's internal energy churned from the blow. Just as she circulated her True Qi to dissipate the powerful impact, Chen Lie launched a fierce attack.

After hastily parrying dozens of moves, Xu Bingyan knew she would lose face if she continued, so she immediately said, "Stop! Stop! I surrender! I surrender!"

Upon seeing this, Chen Lie immediately ceased his attack.

Seeing Chen Lie stop, Xu Bingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior, are you sure you're only ranked 19th on the Blood Qi Ranking? I think that apart from the top ten on the Blood Qi Ranking, there's probably no one stronger than you in the Blood-Qi Stage on Blue Star, right?"

"There are currently 19 people."

"At present?"

Xu Bingyan was taken aback, then said, "You're strong, I'm no match for you. You can go find a second-level sparring partner outside the Drill Hall with."

Chen Lie walked off the Duel Platform without commenting.

Wang Shou, president of the Martial Artist Association, watched the entire match and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, Chen Lie should have nine times the Strength Value. His physique and physical attributes after eight Blood Tempering couldn't possibly be that strong."

"Nine times the Strength Value?"

Zheng Dongyang was startled.

Nine times the Strength Value, Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, is he yet another hope for Blue Star?

"Principal Lei, Professor Zheng, you should pay close attention to this student."

"That's natural."

Lei Jinglong and Zheng Dongyang Shuangshuang responded.

After saying that, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong left.

Chen Lie stepped down from the Duel Platform and greeted Zheng Dongyang.

"Wow, brother, your martial arts are this strong?"

"Even Shao Keyu couldn't beat Xu Bingyan, the sparring partner on Duel Platform number 5. I didn't expect her to be no match for you."

As soon Chen Lie off the Duel Platform, Han Keke stepped forward and said something.

Chen Lie simply nodded at Han Keke's surprise.

With Zheng Dongyang's introduction, Chen Lie went to the Duel Platform a few more times and had several sparring matches with his sparring partners.

By this time, almost all the students in the Super Genius Class had arrived.

At the call of Blue Star University, people from Red Flame Planet and Shuimang Star came to the Drill Hall to exchange martial arts skills.

After Chen Lie stepped down from the Duel Platform again, Han Keke stepped forward and said, "Big brother, a lot of people from Red Flame Planet have come to the square outside the Drill Hall."

I think I just heard someone say that Zuo Yuan'er, who is ninth on the Blood Qi Ranking, and that prince from Red Flame Planet named Zhu Jingfei went up to the Duel Platform to spar. Do you want to go and take a look?

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Lie nodded and walked out of the Drill Hall with Han Keke.

Outside the Drill Hall, a large crowd had gathered around a Duel Platform in the plaza.

Upon seeing this, Han Keke exclaimed in surprise, "Why are so many people watching?"

"It's normal for many people to watch a battle at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm," Chen Lie said, stopping in his tracks.

"Then I'll go take a look ahead!"

Han Keke saw Chen Lie stop, she immediately guessed that he didn't want to join the Chen Lie, so she left Chen Lie behind and went over by herself.

With so many people gathered around, Chen Lie didn't want to squeeze in to watch, so he turned to leave.

At this moment, a girl in red suddenly walked towards Chen Lie from a distance.

"Your Excellency Chen Lie!"

The girl in red was none other than Zhu Jingshu from the Red Flame Planet. As always, she came before Chen Lie and gave a deep bow.

"My fifth Imperial Brother is sparring with one of the ten outstanding female warriors of your Blue Star Ten Elites. Don't you want to go and take a look?"

"There are too many people, I don't want to get in."

Zhu Jingshu smiled. She knew that Chen Lie was still not interested in sparring; otherwise, what difference would it make if there were more Grandmaster?

"I happened to meet you today, and it just so happens that Jing Shu is saying goodbye to you. We will be returning to Red Flame Planet early tomorrow morning."

"If the opportunity arises, Your Excellency Chen Lie is welcome to visit Red Flame Planet."

"Oh? Red Flame Planet is leaving?" Chen Lie asked.

"Yes, we've been staying on Blue Star for quite a while now, it's time to go back." Zhu Jingshu nodded slightly.

"Alright, have a safe journey."

Zhu Jingshu said, "Of course, there doesn't seem to be any record of Star Bandit robbing our Five Stars of the Eastern Region at present."

The Five Stars of the Eastern Region are a barren star cluster, and generally speaking, Star Bandit look down on this Five Stars of the Eastern Region.

At this moment, a huge commotion began to emanate from the Duel Platform surrounded by the crowd. Blood-red light shot dozens of feet into the sky, clearly indicating that it was people at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm making their move.

In less than ten minutes, all the noise from the Duel Platform disappeared, and the spectators scattered in all directions.

"It seems the sparring has ended. I wonder if my fifth Imperial Brother gained the upper hand against the tenth-rank Blue Star warrior."

Chen Lie glanced at the Duel Platform and saw Zuo Yuan'er, with her disheveled hair, walk down from the Duel Platform first.

Zhu Jingfei, the fifth prince of the Great Yan Dynasty Red Flame Planet, walked off the Duel Platform from another direction.

Among them, a girl with her hair styled in Flying Cloud Bun and wearing an orange dress walked over from the Duel Platform with graceful bearing.

The graceful young woman stopped beside Zhu Jingshu and asked, "Jing Shu, why didn't you come with me?"

"Royal Sister!"

Upon seeing the young woman, Zhu Jingshu immediately said, "I met a friend, so I couldn't accompany you."

"Friends?"

The elegant young woman's gaze shifted to Chen Lie beside Zhu Jingshu.

"Your Majesty, this is Chen Lie. He's the one who helped me solve the problem that had been troubling me for so long."

The elegant young woman was startled when she saw Chen Lie's appearance.

"Your Excellency Chen Lie, this is my twelfth elder sister. Apart from our Crown Prince of Great Yan, she is the most outstanding martial artist among the younger generation of the Great Yan Dynasty."

The Emperor personally bestowed upon her the title of Princess Lingyan, Zhu Jingxi.

Zhu Jingshu then introduced Chen Lie.
