The moment Chu Ling'er felt the pressure, she immediately retreated and moved to a distance.

Faced with the overwhelming blood and qi, Chen Lie immediately resisted with all his might, unleashing the full power of his Five Viscera Vajra Dragon Tendon Flood Dragon Bone.

At the same time, his golden aura suddenly erupted, directly shattering the aura that Feng Lingxi had suppressed.

The immense power of the Pure Yang Precious Blood was fully revealed.

"Lord Chen Lie is indeed a worthy opponent, and your progress in martial arts seems to be no slower than mine. So... make your move!"

Feng Lingxi's silver pupils shimmered, looking somewhat captivating.

"Wait! This is the campus of Starry Sky University, not the place to make a move," Chen Liedao.

"It's alright. If Canglong Star asks any questions, I will handle them myself. Please fight with all your might, and I will take full responsibility for any damage caused."

Chen Lie's words did not deter Feng Lingxi's desire to fight. She moved swiftly, harnessing her powerful blood energy, and struck Chen Lie with a palm.

With a loud "boom".

Chen Lie threw a punch, his qi and blood forming a golden fist shadow that instantly blocked Feng Lingxi's palm strike.

Feng Lingxi's attack was thwarted, but instead of retreating, she advanced, unleashing a series of aggressive palm strikes at Chen Lie.

"Boom boom boom!"

Faced with Feng Lingxi's fierce attacks, Chen Lie countered them one by one.

During the exchange, Chen Lie keenly realized that although Feng Lingxi had not yet perfected her Blood Refining Refinement, she had already completed Twelfth Blood Tempering.

If Chen Lie hadn't cultivated the Pure Yang Precious Blood yesterday, he might not have been a match for Feng Lingxi.

Even so, Chen Lie could not fight Feng Lingxi, the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect, in public; otherwise, it would be too conspicuous and would be more of a curse than a blessing for him.

Moreover, Feng Lingxi possesses Extraordinary Bloodline. Once her bloodline power is activated, her strength will soar. Although Chen Lie's <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> also contains the bloodline secret technique ' Flood Dragon Transformation ' that consumes blood and qi, the price of using it is that Chen Lie's blood and qi will be depleted for a month. In other words, within a month, it will be difficult for Chen Lie to make any further progress in his Blood-Qi Martial Way. It's not worth it.

Moreover, even if she uses the ' Flood Dragon Transformation ', she might not be able to defeat Feng Lingxi, because Feng Lingxi has already completed Twelfth Blood Tempering.

Moreover, those with Extraordinary Bloodline can unleash greater power from their bloodlines as their cultivation level increases. The power of bloodlines at the Organ Refining Stage is incomparable to that at the Blood Refining Stage.

After receiving a series of palm strikes from Feng Lingxi, Chen Lie retreated again, refusing to fight.

"Saintess Feng, your cultivation level is now far superior to mine. Even if we were to determine a winner, it would be meaningless."

"Why don't we wait until my cultivation level improves, and then fight again next time?"

Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Feng Lingxi stopped her attack. She frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask what realm you are currently in?"

"Blood Refining Stage, Fourth Blood Tempering!"

"Fourth Blood Tempering?"

Feng Lingxi carefully observed Chen Lie using her divine sense.

She has now undergone Twelfth Blood Tempering and cultivated spiritual blood, which means she has undergone eight more Blood Tempering than Chen Lie?

She sensed from the beginning that Chen Lie was inferior to her in terms of strength. She originally wanted to force Chen Lie to use his bloodline secret technique to fight, so that they could see in reality which of Chen Lie Extraordinary Bloodline was stronger.

Now that there's a difference of eight Blood Tempering, it's difficult to compare, and the outcome is meaningless.

After a moment of thought, Feng Lingxi said, "In that case, I hope you can break through in your martial arts as soon as possible. Once our realms are comparable, we can then have a final showdown."

"If you want to find me, just go to Blood God Planet, to any branch of the Blood God Sect, and mention Feng Lingxi's name."

Seeing Feng Lingxi stop, Chen Lie immediately nodded. "Definitely!"

Feng Lingxi said leisurely, "Since we can't determine a winner in martial arts for the time being, how about a contest of Mental Power?"

Let's continue the competition we didn't finish last time!

As soon as Feng Lingxi finished speaking, she mobilized her Mental Power and launched Mental Power attack on Chen Lie, using her Consciousness Spirit as the foundation.

Chen Lie instantly sensed a Mental Power invading his Sea of Consciousness and immediately retaliated.

His two Consciousness Spirit, Jing Wood Tapir and Gui Jing Wood Tapir Gui Gold Sheep, had the strongest mental attack. So Chen Lie channeled all his Mental Power into Jing Wood Tapir, directly annihilating the Consciousness Spirit that Feng Lingxi had invaded, and then began Mental Power clash.

Chen Lie sensed that Feng Lingxi's cultivation level was now the same as his own, both at the early stage of the second tier. However, Chen Lie had just entered the second tier, while Feng Lingxi was already close to the Second-Order Mid-Stage.

The clash of Mental Power began, and after a tentative attack, Feng Lingxi launched a full-scale offensive.

This is the real world, so it's not like the Sumeru Illusion Realm where one's Consciousness Spirit can break through the boundary between reality and illusion and directly manifest their true form.

Although they couldn't manifest their Consciousness Spirit, the clash of Mental Power between Feng Lingxi and Chen Lie still caused a series of muffled thunderous booms to echo in the void.

After a clash of Mental Power, Feng Lingxi was shocked to realize that even though she had gone all out, she couldn't gain the upper hand at all.

With a thought, she activated a secret Mental Power technique, using the power of her Sea of Consciousness to empower her Consciousness Spirit.

"Behold the might of my ' Ghost Domain of Myriad Spirits '!"

"Boom"

With Feng Lingxi's sudden increase in Mental Power, Chen Lie's Mental Power was instantly overwhelmed by Feng Lingxi.

"Um?"

Feeling the other party's Mental Power invading his Sea of Consciousness again, Chen Lie was slightly startled. He hadn't expected Feng Lingxi to have such abilities.

He cultivated the <Lingguang Divine Refining Chapter>, a national-level Mental Power cultivation method of the Central Galactic Empire. Even when he used most of his strength against his opponent in the same realm, he was still able to be suppressed back.

Chen Lie secretly began to mobilize all the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky Sea of Consciousness to launch a full-scale counterattack against Feng Lingxi's Mental Power.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Lie's Mental Power once again extinguished Feng Lingxi's attack and directly impacted Feng Lingxi's Consciousness Sea World.

With a "boom".

Feng Lingxi was struck as if by lightning. Her silver pupils dimmed instantly, and her Consciousness Sea World, the ' Ghost Domain of Myriad Spirits ', suddenly trembled. Half of the body of Consciousness Spirit ' Dark Ghost Dragon ' that was hovering above the Ghost Realm instantly shattered, and then the Ghost Realm began to crack and collapse on all sides.

After a long time, Feng Lingxi managed to maintain the collapsed state of her Consciousness Sea World and recover.

"Your skill is indeed superior; I humbly admit defeat."

Chen Lie knew he hadn't held back, but he had no choice. If he hadn't gone all out, he wouldn't have been able to withstand Feng Lingxi's Mental Power attack. So he said, "Thank you for your concession."

Feng Lingxi simply shook her head and said, "I have already given my all and have not held back."

"In terms of Mental Power, I humbly admit defeat. I hope your martial arts realm can break through quickly so you can challenge me again."

"May I ask which star system your Mental Power originates from?"

"Central Galactic Empire, Taia Star Province"

"It actually came from Ten Great Star Provinces?"

Feng Lingxi's eyes flickered. She could tell that Chen Lie's Mental Power technique was definitely not something that the Canglan Star Domain could possess. She had originally thought it was from an outer star region, but she never expected it to be Ten Great Star Provinces directly under the Central Galactic Empire.

The Ten Great Star Provinces are far stronger than any other star region; no wonder this person's Mental Power is so formidable.

"So, you've come all the way from Taia Star Province?" Feng Lingxi asked.

"No."

"Whether it is or not, you must have come from afar. Although this is not Blood God Planet, I would still like to invite you to the Guest-Embracing Hall for a drink."

Is this a convenient time for you?

"It's not convenient, I have something urgent to attend to."

Chen Lie waved his hand, indicating that this was not a place where he could try to intimidate others.

If someone were to make such a display in front of the higher-ups at Starry Sky University, they might fool others at the time, but their true colors would definitely be revealed later.

"In that case, I'll take my leave!"

After speaking, Feng Lingxi turned and left.

After Feng Lingxi disappeared from sight, Chu Ling'er slowly approached.

She glanced at Chen Lie, and a chill ran through her. Who had she encountered?

The Central Galactic Empire, Ten Great Star Provinces? Isn't he from the Canglan Star Domain East?

Furthermore, how could he possibly know the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect?

Could it be that important figure from the Central Galactic Empire who instructed him in martial arts and even took him on a journey through the stars?

"Um... you also know the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Sect?"

"I don't know him!"

"If you don't know that Blood God Sect Holy Maiden, why would she approach you and insist on a duel with you?"

Chen Lie waved his hand and said, "We've only met once. You can take me back!"

"Oh well!"

Chu Ling'er knew Chen Lie didn't want to say more, so she said, "Wait here for me!"

After saying that, she jogged to a corner.

She returned in less than ten minutes.

At this moment, Chu Ling'er held some specially made gauze in her hand.

"I saw you fighting with that Blood God Sect Cult saintess just now, and you tore the gauze on your right hand. I just went to the infirmary to get some more so I can re-bandage it for you."

Chen Lie nodded and reached out his hand for Chu Ling'er to re-bandage the gauze.

Seeing Chen Lie's still bony hands, Chu Ling'er was somewhat surprised. "They seem a bit better than yesterday. Your recovery ability is amazing!"

Before she could finish speaking, Chu Ling'er had already bandaged Chen Lie's wound.

"Get on the airship, I'll take you back!"

Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement, then boarded the airship with Chu Ling'er.

The airship took off and arrived at Tianyi Campus in about ten minutes.

After disembarking from the airship, Chu Ling'er Chen Liedao, "I'll go ask my aunt right away. I'll definitely send you those two portions of Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid as soon as possible!"

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!" Chen Lie nodded.

"Well... goodbye!"

After waving goodbye, Chu Ling'er returned to the airship.

Only now does she truly understand what extraordinary adventure she has encountered.

He cultivated his Sea of Consciousness to over 20 million points, and even exceeded expectations during the Star Camphor Stele Examination, earning him the opportunity for special cultivation.

She was very glad that she had come to Tianyi Campus two days ago to use the Blood Origin Crystal, otherwise this opportunity would not have come her way.

Cultivating Consciousness Sea World with a value of twenty million points is incredibly difficult. Without this fortuitous encounter, I might have wasted another year and still not succeeded. Perhaps, like many others, I would have switched to cultivating other types of Consciousness Spirit and ended up with a hasty retreat.

Chu Ling'er murmured, "One Blood Origin Crystal and two portions of Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid —it's absolutely worth it to have this incredible encounter!"

On the other side, Chen Lie arrived at Tianyi Campus and immediately headed towards the North Campus, which is located north of the horizontal line.

At this moment, Chen Lie saw that there were more than twice as many people in the North Campus square as when he left.

It seems that people from all the planets have already arrived.

Upon arriving at the North Campus, Chen Lie saw the five major divisions within the North Campus, representing the five star regions: east, Northwest, and center. Chen Lie then went to the Eastern Star Region, where Blue Star was located.

Chen Lie entered the Eastern Star Region and began searching for the settlement of Blue Star.

At this moment, Luo Zhixun suddenly walked out of a Cultivation Room.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Luo Zhixun exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Lie? It's you?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "The election hasn't started yet, has it?"

"It hasn't started yet!" Luo Zhixun asked urgently, "Where have you been these past two days?"

You didn't show up for tonight's meeting either!

"Oh, my strength has improved, so I chose a Cultivation Room and secluded myself for two days."

Chen Lie didn't mention that he had left the Tianyi Campus, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

"Oh, I see! We thought you were missing!"

Luo Zhixun nodded, then added, "When we gathered today, our team leader, Zhao Siqi, noticed you weren't there and asked us about you."

Ruan Liusu, who was with you, told you about your experience at the South Campus yesterday. She was worried that you had a conflict with the privileged students at the South Campus, so she asked Zhao Siqi to help find out your whereabouts.

However, Zhao Siqi reported to Blue Star that you had disobeyed orders and complained about you. Later, it is unknown whether she inquired about your whereabouts.

So you were in seclusion in the Cultivation Room. That means Zhao Siqi wronged you."

"Then she really wronged me."

Chen Lie's departure from Tianyi Campus was permitted by the academic affairs officer in charge of receiving him, so Zhao Siqi had no reason to complain about her.

"It's good that you're alright. Luckily, the election was postponed by a day. Otherwise, if you had been in seclusion for more than a day, you might have missed the election."

"We're currently far away on Canglong Star, and our classmates on Blue Star can't use it, making it difficult to contact each other in critical situations. So, it's best to inform each other before doing anything," Luo Zhixun said.

"Okay, I understand!"

After saying all this, Luo Zhixun noticed that Chen Lie's right hand was wrapped in gauze, so she asked, "What happened to your hand?"

"I got hurt by accident, but it's nothing serious!"

"You sparred with someone?"

"No, it's due to cultivation."

"Is it serious? The election is probably starting tomorrow, and it might test real combat skills. If the hand injury is serious, it will definitely affect combat effectiveness."

"It's not serious, it definitely won't have any impact!"

"That's good!"

Luo Zhixun said, "I'll take you to where everyone is gathered, so you don't get lost again."

Chen Lie grunted in agreement and followed Luo Zhixun to the gathering place of the Blue Star people.

The gathering place was a medium-sized martial arts exchange room.

At this moment, all the people from Blue Star University, centered around Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, and Hao Yulong, were inside the communication room.

Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, Ruan Liusu immediately came up to him in the communication room. "Chen Lie, you're back?"

"Where have you been? It's been over a day, and I haven't heard a word from you. I thought you'd gotten into a fight with those students from the South Campus and they'd kidnapped you!"

Chen Liedao, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Zuo Yuan'er glanced at Chen Lie and said, "You need to understand that you are now in a foreign land. You can't be as arrogant as you were on Blue Star. Here, you need to follow the rules and be cautious!"
