Chu Ling'er glanced at the boy indifferently and said, "Do I need to explain to you whether I have a brother or not?"

"Ling'er, that's not what I meant!"

When Chu Ling'er questioned him, the boy hurriedly waved his hand.

At this moment, Tian Qiuqiu, who was standing nearby, said with a grin, "Yang Guangyu, you're getting anxious because Ling'er has gained another elder brother?"

If you found out that Ling'er's senior brother slept in Ling'er's Dormitory yesterday, wouldn't you explode on the spot?

"What did you say?" the boy asked incredulously, "He slept in Ling'er's Dormitory last night?"

"Of course, I'd be a dog if I lied to you!"

When the boy saw Tian Qiuqiu's affirmative look, he flew into a rage, glaring at Chen Lie as if he wanted to devour him.

"Ling'er has absolutely no elder brother. Who are you to dare to swindle and deceive people here?"

"Enough!"

Chu Ling'er snorted coldly, "Yang Guangyu, even if he's not my sworn brother, but just a friend, it's none of your business to interrogate him here."

"Ling'er, I'm doing this for your own good..."

"Shut up!"

After Chu Ling'er finished speaking, the boy's face immediately fell.

Immediately afterward, Chu Ling'er glared at Tian Qiuqiu and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"How could I be talking nonsense? My words are as true as gold." Tian Qiuqiu shrugged. "Could it be... that this person slept in your Dormitory last night?"

Upon hearing Tian Qiuqiu's words, the boy's face instantly turned three shades green. He stared intently at Chen Lie, secretly clenching his fists.

Dong Qinqin had been silent until now, suddenly said, "Alright, stop provoking Yang Guangyu!"

"Yang Guangyu, Ling'er rested in my Dormitory for one night yesterday. This 'brother' of Ling'er's ' only stayed in Ling'er's Dormitory for one night."

Upon hearing this explanation, Yang Guangyu's expression softened considerably, but his face still held a hostile intent towards Chen Lie.

The fact that a girl was willing to lend her Dormitory to a man indicates that their relationship is definitely not simple. If they were cousins or sworn brothers, it would make sense, but he knew that Chu Ling'er could not possibly have such a sworn brother.

"Enough of that. Who came from Blood God Planet this time?"

"Who from our Starry Sky University went up to the Duel Platform? Has Senior Wenren shown up yet?" Chu Ling'er suddenly asked.

"Just now, the ones who made a move included the Holy Son of the Blood God Sect Blood God Planet, the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty from Blood God Planet, the Seventh Princess of the Great Jing Dynasty, and the Martial Arts Champion of the Great Qi Dynasty."

"Our Starry Sky University has Wei Xiong'an from the Martial Way Department, Wen Ruying from the Sword Dao Department, and two senior students from the Mental Power Department to help," Dong Qinqin replied.

Chu Ling'er asked, "What was the result?"

"As a result... assuming that the freakish holy son of the Blood God Sect doesn't intervene, the outcome between our Starry Sky University and Blood God Planet is probably fifty-fifty."

"A freakish holy son? What happened to the Blood God Sect's holy son?"

"That's incredible! Someone just said that the Holy Son of the Blood God Sect is probably close to reaching the Innate Grandmaster Realm. Wei Xiong'an, who cultivates the Five Elements True Qi in the Martial Way Department, couldn't even withstand a single move from the Holy Son of the Blood God Sect," Dong Qinqin said, shaking her head.

"That's amazing?"

"Yes, the Holy Son of the Blood God Sect is powerful, and the people from the various dynasties below are not bad either. Each one of them is no less than our Starry Sky University's top ten outstanding students."

Especially the Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, he's clearly a cut above the rest!

"No wonder Blood God Planet ranks second in the Canglan Star Domain, higher than our Canglong Star. Its martial arts prosperity is truly remarkable!"

"It's truly baffling that such a backward theocratic social system could produce such formidable martial arts."

At this moment, Dong Qinqin Chu Ling'er to a young man with his hair tied up and wearing a crown, dressed in a silver moon-colored brocade robe, sitting on the side of the Martial Arts Arena.

"Ling'er, look, that person is the Holy Son of the Blood God Sect Blood God Planet. Just now, Wei Xiong'an, one of the top ten outstanding students, challenged him. He just sat there without moving his body, and with a flick of his finger, he knocked Wei Xiong'an off the Duel Platform."

Wei Xiong'an is one of the most outstanding students at our Starry Sky University, but I never expected the gap between him and Blood God Planet to be so huge!

Chu Ling'er looked in the direction Dong Qinqin was pointing and murmured, "The Holy Son of the Blood God Sect should be the most outstanding martial artist among the younger generation of Blood God Planet. Looking at the entire Canglan Star Domain, there are probably very few who can match him."

"Our Canglong Star is the center of the Canglan Star Domain. Our martial arts level is only one rank lower than Blood God Planet. There isn't much difference between us. So there must be someone on Canglong Star who can rival him. We just don't know it yet," Chu Ling'er said.

"You're right!"

Tian Qiuqiu and Dong Qinqin nodded in agreement.

"However, what is that silver-eyed girl sitting at the same table as the Blood God Sect's Holy Son?"

"Blood God Planet has a strict hierarchy; ordinary people aren't qualified to sit side-by-side with the Holy Son, are they?" Chu Ling'er asked.

"Oh, don't underestimate that silver-eyed girl. She's the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect, personally appointed by the Blood God Sect leader. In the Blood God Sect, the Holy Maiden and the Holy Son are of equal status."

Even the emperors of the seven dynasties of Blood God Planet treated her with utmost respect.

It is said that the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Blood God Sect can mobilize up to 30,000 Blood God Guards without the Cult Leader's approval, and the Blood God Guards ' combat power is in no way weaker than that of the Canglan Army.

With 30,000 Blood God Guards on Blood God Planet, plus some high-level combat forces, I estimate they could conquer and destroy any planet in the Canglan Star Domain except for the Ten-Star Alliance.

"Just think about it, even the highest military councilor of our Canglan Star Domain would have to hold countless meetings to decide how to mobilize such a large force."

Chu Ling'er gasped. "This young girl, who doesn't even look as old as me, is actually the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect?"

"What kind of makeshift system was Blood God Planet that allowed a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child to be given so much power?"

Seeing the Blood God Sect's Holy Maiden seated in the spectator seats, Chu Ling'er couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority.

Of course, what made her feel inferior was not her appearance, but the difference in social status.

The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect holds a highly respected and noble position within Blood God Planet and is a powerful figure in the Canglan Star Domain. They are almost the same age, yet the difference between them is like Blood God Sect and earth.

Dong Qinqin said, "You're wrong about that. This Blood God Sect's Holy Maiden looks to be about our age, but she's only about twelve years old."

"Only twelve years old? How can she be so young?" Chu Ling'er couldn't help but ask.

"Although she is young, her Strength Value has already exceeded 12 times. I heard from the disciples of the Blood God Sect that this Holy Maiden has Blood Tempering 12 times and cultivated a kind of spiritual blood."

Furthermore, their Consciousness Spirit is the ' Dark Ghost Dragon,' the number one Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit in the Canglan Star Domain."

"At such a young age, 12 times the Strength Value already outrageous enough, how could Dark Ghost Dragon possibly do that?"

"What's impossible? As long as one's aptitude is high enough, and with the careful guidance of a senior, cultivating to become the number one Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is not difficult."

"That's not what I meant," Chu Ling'er shook her head and said, "Isn't it said that only those with the third level of Mental Power can cultivate such a powerful Consciousness Spirit as the Dark Ghost Dragon?"

Can a twelve-year-old's Mental Power reach the third level?

"I'm not too sure about that, but the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Blood God Sect are all top martial arts geniuses in the Canglan Star Domain, so it's normal even if it doesn't make sense."

Chu Ling'er nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, a short-haired young man from Starry Sky University and a woman in Ancient Garments purple robes stepped onto the Duel Platform.

"Ling'er, you're too late. This seems to be the last show."

"It's Luo Chang from the Martial Way Department of Starry Sky University versus Kong Nishang, a true disciple of Blood God Planet."

Chu Ling'er immediately opened her eyes and looked over.

Chen Lie also observed the Duel Platform, where the short-haired youth and the woman in purple Ancient Garments were fighting.

On the Duel Platform, no one shouted for the battle to begin. With the two Seventh Tier Qi Refining into Gang Realm Martial Artist understanding each other, the battle instantly commenced.

The five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth collide and intertwine, creating a dazzling spectacle.

The battle lasted only two or three minutes before the two Seventh-Order Martial Artist stepped down from the Duel Platform.

"The battle is over already? I didn't even get a good look at it. You guys didn't just watch this all morning, did you?" Chu Ling'er asked in surprise.

"We're only at the Blood-Qi Stage, so we can't visually comprehend a battle between experts of this level. Of course, we're just watching the show," Dong Qinqin said.

"Alright!" Chu Ling'er nodded, then looked at Chen Lie: "Looks like we're late, shall we go get some food together?"

After we finish eating, I'll take you home!

"Alright!"

Chen Lie nodded. It was difficult for someone at the Qi and Blood-Qi Stage to see the battle clearly, but Chen Lie, relying on his keen Consciousness Spirit, had seen through the intricacies of it.

These must be the top geniuses of the Canglan Star Domain, right?

As expected, he already possesses the demeanor of a martial arts genius.

At this point, the people from Blood God Planet began to leave.

After most people left their seats, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect, who was sitting at the Duel Platform, remained motionless.

A member of the Blood God Sect Cult stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, the cult members are all leaving. Aren't you leaving?"

The Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect: "You all go first. I think I've run into someone I know; I need to go check on them!"

"Then shall I allocate thirty Blood God Guards to accompany you?"

"No need!"

The Blood God Sect's Holy Maiden gently raised her hand.

"Yes!" The Blood God Sect member bowed and left.

On the other side, Chen Lie and Chu Ling'er's group left the square and headed to the restaurant in the Central Campus.

Throughout the entire time, Yang Guangyu kept staring at Chen Lie with a hostile expression.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Chu Ling'er ordered the most luxurious martial arts meal for Chen Lie, while she herself only ordered a regular martial arts meal.

Upon seeing this, Yang Guangyu couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, who exactly is he to you?"

Why would you eat a regular meal yourself but order a deluxe meal for him?

Chu Ling'er simply said, "What's it to you?"

She didn't have enough Galactic Coin after buying the Spirit Nourishing Flower, otherwise this wouldn't have happened.

But Chen Lie has helped her a lot these past two days, so even if she's poor, she can't be stingy with Chen Lie.

Yang Guangyu's anger surged, and his gaze toward Chen Lie became even more ferocious.

"No, Ling'er? It's just two deluxe meals, only a few hundred Star Dollar at most. Can't you just ask for two?" Tian Qiuqiu was very puzzled.

Chu Ling'er said helplessly, "I've already overspent on my Galactic Coin this month because of cultivation, and I've already contacted my family this month, so I can't ask them for more. I'll just have to be careful with them."

"Then you don't need to order this person a fancy meal while you eat a regular one yourself, do you?"

Chu Ling'er simply smiled slightly, but did not answer.

If they had the same opportunities they experienced these past two days, they would have done the same.

Chen Lie quickly finished the luxurious meal from Starry Sky University. He could sense that, with prolonged consumption, this luxurious meal would have a significant effect on martial arts cultivation, nourishing the five internal organs and replenishing Five Viscera and blood.

Seeing that Chen Lie had finished eating, Chu Ling'er immediately put down her chopsticks and said, "Are you done eating? Shall I take you home?"

Chen Liedao, "No rush, finish your food first!"

"No need, I'm not that hungry."

You've been out for over a day, you must be worried. Let me take you home first!

With that, Chu Ling'er stood up.

Yang Guangyu, sitting opposite him, could no longer contain his anger and slammed his chopsticks heavily onto the table with a loud 'bang'.

"Boy, who are you to Ling'er? State your name!"

Before Chen Lie could speak, Chu Ling'er said coldly, "Yang Guangyu, if you're going to act crazy, go somewhere else, don't do it here!"

Seeing that Chu Ling'er was angry, Yang Guangyu quickly explained, "Ling'er, I was worried that you were too young and might be deceived. I wanted to find out more about this person because I was doing this for your own good..."

"No need, just mind your own business!"

After Chu Ling'er finished speaking, she and Chen Lie walked out of the restaurant.

Her two classmates, Tian Qiuqiu and Dong Qinqin, were stunned for a moment.

Could it be that Ling'er has actually developed feelings for this person?

How could a country bumpkin from a barren planet be worthy of him?

Chu Ling'er and Chen Lie walked out of the restaurant, Chu Ling'er immediately summoned a public airship from Starry Sky University.

Just as Chu Ling'er was about to call Chen Lie onto the airship, she suddenly saw a silver-eyed girl who seemed to be about the same age as her, or even a year or two older, appear beside her.

Her heart skipped a beat. This woman with silver eyes looked so familiar. Then it dawned on her—wasn't this the twelve-year-old Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect? What was she doing here?

"Chen Lie, we meet again!"

Chen Lie... Your Excellency?

Chu Ling'er was utterly shocked and looked at Chen Lie in disbelief.

This person actually has connections to the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect? So, is he still just an ordinary boy from a barren planet?

Of course, Chen Lie was no ordinary person either, but how did he become acquainted with the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect?

Even she, a noblewoman from a single continent on Canglong Star, wasn't qualified to come into contact with the circle of the Blood God Sect's Holy Maiden.

Upon seeing the silver-eyed girl, Chen Lie asked, "Feng Lingxi from Blood God Planet?"

"It's me. It seems you still remember me."

Feng Lingxi said calmly, "The last martial arts competition with you was the first time I was defeated by someone of the same realm."

Looking back after the war, I realize that you are indeed superior to me in every aspect, and I have been reflecting on this ever since.

Since we've met by chance on Canglong Star, why not have another match and see if I've made any progress in martial arts?

Before Chen Lie could reply, Feng Lingxi unleashed her powerful aura, which seemed to exert an overwhelming force upon Chen Lie.
