Fourth on the Divine Sense Master Ranking-Zhao Siqi
Lei Jinglong stopped the students from arguing and continued, "This time, we are selecting people regardless of their abilities."
There's a saying in the Outer Stars that Strength Value is a reflection of one's talent in the Blood-Qi Stage. Therefore, we'll use the level of Strength Value to select those who will compete in the Outer Stars.
Students with Strength Value of eight times or more are eligible to participate in this competition Outer Stars.
After Lei Jinglong finished speaking, the students below the stage fell silent.
Beside Chen Lie, Ruan Liusu looked somewhat surprised.
"Eight times the Strength Value to qualify, so does that mean I can also go to Outer Stars to participate in this competition?"
If we're talking about raw strength, she definitely wouldn't be ranked, but she happens to have eight times the Strength Value.
There are very few people in the Super Genius Class who reach eight times the Strength Value.
Lei Jinglong then said, "All of you students present, those whose Strength Value reaches eight times the normal value, please step forward!"
As soon as Lei Jinglong spoke, all the students in the audience, including Shao Keyu, Yan Zheng, Zheng Shuwen, and Han Keke, whose Strength Value were eight times the normal level, stepped forward.
Ruan Liusu followed Chen Lie out from the crowd.
Lei Jinglong watched as some students walked out from the crowd, and Zheng Dongyang called out their names one by one from below the stage.
"Shao Keyu, Yan Zheng Shuwen, Liu Yi, Li Wanwan, Xia Zhizhi, Chen Lie, Han Keke, Xu Wanqing, Zheng Zhongming, and Ruan Liusu —eleven students in total have Blood Qi Value eight times higher than normal."
Lei Jinglong grunted and said, "These 11 people also include Jiang Yuan, Hao Yulong, Zuo Yuan'er, who are currently in the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking."
"That's only 14 people, not even 15!"
"I already have someone in mind for the other person," Lei Jinglong said.
"Oh?"
Zheng Dongyang had a guess in his mind. He knew that some time ago, the Divine Sense Master Association discovered a person whose Sea of Consciousness value had reached the standard of a star domain-level genius.
Could it be that Principal Lei intends to reserve the last spot for this person?
At Lei Jinglong's signal, Zheng Dongyang dismissed all the other students in the Super Genius Class: "These students with Strength Value exceeding eight times the average, please stay. The rest of you can disperse!"
Soon, the super- Blood Tempering students with Strength Value below eight times the normal level left amidst a cacophony of discussion.
Lei Jinglong then summoned the 11 students whose Strength Value reached eight times the normal level to the Principal's Office.
Inside the Principal's Office, Lei Jinglong paced back and forth in front of a group of students, his hands behind his back, but he remained silent throughout.
At this moment, Jiang Yuan, Hao Yulong, Zuo Yuan'er, three of the top ten on the Blood Qi Ranking, also arrived at the Principal's Office.
"Principal Lei!"
Jiang Yuan and the other two top ten players on the Blood Qi Ranking simultaneously greeted Lei Jinglong.
Lei Jinglong nodded and said "Mm," then stopped pacing and stood in front of the group of students.
"Now that everyone is here, there are some things I need to tell you in particular."
The students present are the most outstanding people on our Blue Star, the best of the younger generation in martial arts.
However, this time, the selection of important figures by Starry Sky University is not only aimed at the Five Stars of the Eastern Region our Canglan Star Domain, but also at the four regions of the Northwest, northwest and southwest, as well as some planets in the Central Canglan Star Domain martial arts are not so developed.
Each planet is qualified to recommend fifteen people. There are 28 major planets in the four regions of east, Northwest, plus 20 to 30 planets in the Central Domain. So this time you will be competing with thousands of martial arts geniuses from dozens of planets.
This competition is extremely fierce. Even though the planet in the Central Canglan Star Domain is not a very developed planet in terms of martial arts, it is still far superior to the 28 planets in our four regions of Northwest and North.
Whether you are selected by this important figure from Starry Sky University depends entirely on yourselves. Everyone participating in this competition is a genius from various planets.
So I want to remind you in advance to be prepared for anything to go wrong, so you won't be disappointed or discouraged later.
"Thousands of people, so many people are competing?"
Amidst the crowd, Han Keke n't help but speak.
The other students also felt heavy-hearted.
They considered themselves top martial arts geniuses on Blue Star, but everyone else was a genius from various planets, so they had no advantage whatsoever.
Moreover, the planets in the central region of the Canglan Starfield are clearly renowned for their flourishing martial arts. How can the other four regions (east, west, south, and north) compare?
Seeing the students' somber expressions, Zheng Dongyang said, "Don't be discouraged."
The planets participating in this competition are all relatively barren in terms of martial arts. Even the planets in the Central Domain are not necessarily much stronger than our Blue Star; ultimately, they belong to the same level.
"There are 58 inhabited planets in the Central Canglan Star Domain. Among them, the Ten Ten-Star Alliance, Yaoyao in the top ten in martial arts, far surpasses the rest of the planets. The martial arts civilizations of the top twenty planets are also far stronger than those of our Blue Star. However, the planets ranked outside the top thirty in the Central Star Region are not that much different from our Blue Star."
Zheng Dongyang's words cheered many students up a little.
Lei Jinglong then said, "You don't need to be so anxious about gains and losses."
Every year or two, prominent figures from Starry Sky University publicly recruit disciples. However, the past two years have been somewhat unusual, with prominent figures from Outer Stars recruiting disciples for two consecutive years.
What I want to tell you is that many times, hundreds or even thousands of geniuses at the Blood-Qi Stage from dozens of planets go to Canglong Starry Sky University, but the big shots from Outer Stars don't even select a single one, making everyone's trip a waste.
Even if there is a selection process, at most only four or five people will be chosen. From dozens of planets and thousands of geniuses at the Qi Blood-Qi Stage, only one or two, or at most four or five, will be selected. Sometimes, not a single person will even catch the eye of that important figure. This is no longer a matter of talent. Therefore, we should not have too high hopes. Whether we are selected or not depends a lot on luck, or it is entirely possible that the important figure from Outer Stars will take a liking to us and choose us."
"Is the competition this fierce? Maybe we shouldn't go at all. Going to Outer Stars and back would waste several days, wouldn't it?" Han Keke complained.
"As martial artists, we can't think like that. The opportunity is right in front of us. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we should still give it a try. What if that important figure from Outer Stars takes a liking to you and chooses you?"
Besides...
Lei Jinglong started from Jiang Yuan, his gaze sweeping over the 14 students one by one, and said solemnly, "This time when we go to Starry Sky University, people from Wood Source Planet will definitely go too, and those who go will definitely be the top geniuses of the younger generation of Wood Source Planet in the Blood-Qi Stage."
Jiang Yuan, Hao Yulong, and Zuo Yuan'er, the three of you must take this opportunity to investigate the true nature of Wood Source Planet and prepare for the upcoming Permanent Council Star Contest.
The rest of you, if you have the chance, should also try to get to know the people of Wood Source Planet, at most spar with them, and then share your experiences of fighting them and the extraordinary qualities of Wood Source Planet Martial Artist with each other."
"Understood!"
The students responded in unison.
Lei Jinglong nodded and said, "Everyone can rest for a day, and the day after tomorrow morning, we will take Star Boat to the Starry Sky University on Canglong Star."
For everyone's safety, I will have our Genius Class, Vice Principal Lou Xueru, accompany you.
However, Director Lou cannot enter Starry Sky University like you, so I will introduce you to someone who will explain some of the rules of Starry Sky University to you."
At this moment, Zheng Dongyang called over a beautiful woman with long, waist-length hair from the break room next to the Principal's Office.
At the same time, Zheng Dongyang introduced, "This student's name is Zhao Siqi, a senior one year ahead of you. She is ranked fourth on the Blue Star Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking, and has cultivated a pseudo -Pseudo-Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit. She is currently a student in the Mental Power Department at Starry Sky University."
Zhao Siqi arrived at the Principal's Office, her gaze sweeping coldly over the fourteen people present.
"Students, Starry Sky University is not like our Blue Star. On Blue Star, if you make a mistake, no one will hold it against you."
But Starry Sky University is different. It has strict rules and regulations, and it is full of geniuses. Anyone who dares to break the rules at Starry Sky University is almost certain to die.
"So once you get to Starry Sky University, you must follow Zhao Siqi's instructions and strictly abide by the Starry Sky University's rules. If you do anything wrong, Blue Star will not be able to protect you," Lei Jinglong instructed.
The students nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Principal Lei, we know what we're doing."
Lei Jinglong nodded, then instructed Zhao Siqi, "Zhao Siqi, these are your juniors, the hope of our Blue Star. You must take good care of them."
Zhao Siqi hummed in agreement. "I'll do my best!"
"That's good. There are fourteen students here. Please come and get to know them all!"
Zheng Dongyang began to introduce Zhao Siqi to the students, including Chen Lie, one by one.
After Zhao Siqi and the others had recognized everyone's faces, they asked, "Principal Lei, I remember I said that Blue Star had fifteen spots, why is one person missing?"
Lei Jinglong said, "The other person's situation is special; I'll introduce him to you separately later."
After giving the fourteen people a few more instructions, Lei Jinglong let them leave and set a time for them to take Star Boat to Canglong Starry Sky University early in the morning.
After everyone had left, Zheng Dongyang couldn't help but ask, "Principal Lei, are you going to reserve the last spot for that person who was ranked second on the Apprentice Divine Sense Master Ranking not long ago?"
Lei Jinglong chuckled and said, "I would like to, but there is an unwritten rule for participating in the competition: every person who is recommended must have at least the strength of the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm."
Unfortunately, this second-ranked Divine Sense Master Ranking with Sea of Consciousness score of 16 million is not yet at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm and therefore cannot participate in the election.
I have other plans for the last spot.
"Oh? There's such a rule?"
Zheng Dongyang shook his head and didn't ask any more questions.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie and the other thirteen people left the Principal's Office.
Ruan Liusu quickly walked up to Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, don't you feel that the competition for disciples among the renowned professors at Starry Sky University this year is a bit too fierce?"
"With so many people, all top talents from various planets, the chances of being successfully selected seem incredibly slim."
"That's right, very few. Didn't you hear? If you can be selected, your minimum achievement in martial arts will be Ninth-Order Grandmaster. After graduating from Starry Sky University, you can also hold an important position in the Interstellar Alliance."
"Such a good thing, if there isn't fierce competition, would probably be a trap."
Chen Lie actually had a lot of experience with this.
Just like this competition, the students in the Super Genius Class of Blue Star University are martial arts geniuses who are one in ten thousand on Blue Star. However, heroes are as numerous as carp crossing a river. A high-ranking person can throw out a little bait and make countless geniuses fight tooth and nail.
"Anyway, I'm not holding out any hope this time. I'll just treat it as an opportunity to broaden my horizons and get familiar with the environment of Starry Sky University," Ruan Liusu said leisurely.
As Chen Lie walked past Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan gave Chen Lie a deep look.
After Chen Lie walked over, Jiang Yuan asked Wu Tianhong, who was standing next to him, "Tianhong, are you saying that Sister Shuwen lost to Chen Lie in yesterday's Duel Platform?"
"Brother Yuan, Sister Wen's defeat wasn't just ordinary, it was a complete and utter one. She was defeated in just a few moves."
"So, Chen Lie has already undergone Blood Tempering at least eight times. It seems that Blue Star University will soon have another Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi." Jiang Yuan murmured.
"Brother Yuan, aren't you going to go and avenge Sister Wen and teach that kid a lesson?" Wu Tianhong said.
Jiang Yuan said, "It was a normal sparring match, and my opponent didn't use their full strength, so what reason do I have to attack?"
Besides, for a genius from a poor family to have reached this point shows that his talent must be extremely strong. There's no need to make enemies over such a trivial matter."
Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu returned to the Drill Hall, Ruan Liusu went to Ruan Liuyun's Assistant Instructor Group.
"Sister Yun, you really got to be in the limelight this time. Starry Sky University's renowned professors are recruiting disciples. There are only fifteen spots available on Blue Star, and your small Assistant Instructor Group has taken up three of them."
Ruan Liusu refers to herself, Chen Lie, and Xu Wanqing.
Ruan Liuyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect this either. Our group is really full of talented people."
Especially Chen Lie, if he could advance further in his martial arts, wouldn't he be able to reach the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking?
Blue Star University should reward me with at least 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins."
"Then you can't keep it all to yourself. If the reward is really 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, you and Chen Lie should split it 30/70."
"I understand the 30/70 split. Don't worry, if I really get 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins, I'll give him 30,000 Star Dollar immediately!"
"When I said 30/70, it meant you got 30% and he got 70%," Ruan Liusu reiterated.
"What?" Ruan Liuyun seemed somewhat incredulous, saying, "Ruan Liusu, you need to understand, the Galactic Coin reward is given by Blue Star University to teaching assistants. My willingness to share 30% is a personal favor."
According to you, I get three, he gets seven, so I only get a sip of soup? I'm your cousin, and this relationship isn't even official yet, so why are you already siding with outsiders?
Ruan Liusu felt somewhat embarrassed by Ruan Liuyun's words, and blushed as she retorted, "Then did you, as the teaching assistant, contribute anything? The 100,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins were essentially free."
"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you about this. Whatever you say, I'll do it, okay?"
Ruan Liuyun certainly wouldn't covet the Galactic Coin he hadn't yet obtained, but Ruan Liusu's attitude made him feel that the child was hopeless.
She was so angry she wanted to laugh. The relationship hadn't even started yet, and they were already siding with the other side, making her, their cousin, feel like an outsider.
At this moment, Zhao Siqi, who ranked fourth on the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Ranking and is currently a student in the Mental Power Department at Starry Sky University, passed by Ruan Liuyun's Assistant Instructor Group with a refined young man.
