The selection began

Zuo Yuan'er spoke, the others also began to criticize Chen Lie.

Xia Zhizhi, one of the fifteen, added, "That's right. If you're lawless at Blue Star University, someone can protect you. But if you act like this at Starry Sky University, you're just plain stupid!"

Han Keke suddenly stood up, pointed at Xia Zhizhi, and said, "What do you, Xia Zhizhi, know?"

With my older brother's talent, what's wrong with him being lawless at Starry Sky University? That's what he's supposed to do!

"It's mediocre people like you who should be law-abiding and overly cautious!"

Xia Zhizhi rolled her eyes and spat out, "You're crazy!"

Luo Zhixun then explained, "Everyone, please don't misunderstand. Chen Lie didn't leave the campus. He's in seclusion in the Cultivation Room because he broke through in martial arts."

As soon as Luo Zhixun said this, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent.

Jiang Yuan, the leader of the group, tapped the table in front of him and said, "Even in seclusion, one must be mindful of time. Fortunately, the competition was postponed by a day, otherwise we would have missed it."

From now on, before you go into seclusion to practice your skills, you must inform everyone present first.

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, the group stopped discussing Chen Lie.

Only Ruan Liusu, who came with Chen Lie to the edge of the communication room, asked doubtfully, "Chen Lie, are you really in seclusion?"

"I guess you could say I'm in seclusion."

Ruan Liusu noticed the bandage wrapped around Chen Lie's palm and asked, "What happened to your hand?"

"I accidentally got a minor injury."

"Are you injured? Is it serious?"

"It's alright, it's not serious."

Ruan Liusu nodded. "The candidates from all the planets have arrived now, and the election will really begin early tomorrow morning!"

A hand injury could have some lasting effects.

"No way!"

Chen Lie waved his hand. Although his palm was injured, he had now cultivated the Pure Yang Precious Blood, and ordinary ' Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm' practitioners were no match for him.

"Forget it, with so many people, there's no guarantee of being selected. Aren't there many times when Starry Sky University doesn't even select a single person?"

Ruan Liusu did not have high hopes for the election.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan, who was in charge, said, "Classmates, please be quiet."

When we came this time, Principal Lei instructed us to make sure we tested the quality of Wood Source Planet.

Yesterday, I fought against Zhuo Xingming, Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi from the Wood Source Planet.

It must be said that the martial arts style of Wood Source Planet is indeed very different from that of our Blue Star. If we were to fight for the first time, we might not be able to unleash our true strength due to unfamiliarity.

Zuo Yuan'er nodded and continued, "I feel the same way. Yesterday, I fought with a person named Yuan Hongyan from Wood Source Planet. I could sense that Yuan Hongyan had only recently entered the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm, but her martial arts moves were strange and unorthodox. Even though she was slightly weaker, I still lost to her by half a move."

"I also fought against people from Wood Source Planet; they deliberately came looking for me!"

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "It seems that it's not just us who want to test the martial arts of Wood Source Planet; Wood Source Planet also has the same idea as us."

We both wanted to test each other, so we immediately agreed.

"That's inevitable. The Permanent Council Star Contest among the Five Stars of the Eastern Region is imminent. The Wood Source Planet is also unsure of our strength, so they will definitely take this opportunity to test us," Hao Yulong said.

Jiang Yuan said, "If there is an opportunity, everyone here can spar with the people from Wood Source Planet. They share the same thoughts as us and will certainly not refuse to fight us."

"Once we return to Blue Star, we can exchange information about the martial arts styles of Wood Source Planet, and then ask the higher-ups at Blue Star University to help us devise a strategy specifically targeting Wood Source Planet."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After discussing the matter in detail, Zuo Yuan'er looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, remember to meet at the venue first thing tomorrow morning."

The election is tomorrow; if you can't attend on time, you'll be considered to have automatically forfeited.

After the others answered, they dispersed.

After leaving the gathering place, Chen Lie found a Cultivation Room in the North Campus and began to cultivate the Pure Yang Precious Blood.

His Pure Yang Precious Blood is now in its initial stage of formation, and his mortal body is not yet able to adapt to it. Therefore, he cannot fully unleash the power of the Pure Yang Precious Blood and can only circulate his qi and blood again and again to integrate it with his body.

Under Chen Lie's inner vision, he saw that his blood and qi were like a golden ocean, surging and rolling endlessly.

"The Pure Yang Precious Blood is already so powerful in its initial formation. Once it reaches the Third Ultimate Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage Realm, its Qi and Blood will be as vast as the sea and as violent as a dragon. It will surely be able to completely control the Bloodline Secret Technique!"

And so, Chen Lie spent the entire night meditating in the Cultivation Room.

The next morning, upon hearing the commotion Cultivation Room, Chen Lie did not delay any longer and immediately stopped cultivating, heading to the training ground in the Eastern Star Region.

When Chen Lie arrived at the Eastern Star Region venue, less than half of the fifteen people from Blue Star had arrived.

Only Zhao Siqi, the leader, stood with her arms crossed, glancing sideways at the few people who had arrived.

Upon seeing Chen Lie appear, Zhao Siqi's gaze instantly turned cold, and she coldly rebuked, "Chen Lie, you still know how to come back?"

"I warned you repeatedly that Starry Sky University is not like Blue Star University; you have to follow the rules here. Did you just ignore me?"

Just then, Luo Zhixun arrived and quickly explained to Zhao Siqi, "Senior Zhao, Chen Lie didn't leave the campus. He was practicing in the Cultivation Room and didn't pay attention to the time, which is why he couldn't join everyone yesterday morning."

"Is that so?" Zhao Siqi asked in return.

"Yes!" Luo Zhixun nodded.

Zhao Siqi continued, "No matter what, this Chen Lie is a restless person."

Why did you have to go to the South Campus and provoke those scions of the Ten-Star Alliance's powerful families?

Chen Lie simply said, "I haven't provoked anyone!"

"If you really offended someone, you wouldn't be speaking here now!"

Zhao Siqi said coldly, "What have you thought about what I told you the day before yesterday?"

"What's up?"

"You don't need to pretend you don't know. It's about my classmate using Galactic Coin to buy your treasure."

He learned that you were somewhat reluctant, so he added an extra layer of compensation. In addition to the original Galactic Coin CK watch, he added two Crystal Stone containing an SSSS-Rank Martial Art, a Qi Gong method for the True Qi Stage, and promised you any martial arts resources for the Blood-Qi Stage.

He is still sincere. If you are willing to make the exchange, I can guarantee that you will not be shortchanged in any way by the promised conditions.

"You can hand over half of your Galactic Coin to the authorities, and keep the rest for yourself," Zhao Siqi said.

"The conditions he offered were indeed very generous, but unfortunately, that treasure is no longer there!" Chen Lie said calmly.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"So that means the treasure is no longer with me? Didn't you notice? The bag I've been carrying is gone?"

"The bundle you're carrying is that treasure?" Zhao Siqi's eyebrows shot up.

"Or what?"

"So where did you put the things?"

Chen Lie was somewhat displeased with Zhao Siqi's aggressive attitude. It wasn't even her property; why was she meddling so much?

So Chen Liedao, "I've already given the item away."

"Given away? Given to whom?" Zhao Siqi's expression changed.

"The Martial Way Department has a female instructor surnamed Chu."

"Martial Way Department instructors?"

Zhao Siqi was taken aback. "Why would Martial Way Department instructor want your things?"

"Furthermore, how do you know the Martial Way Department instructors?"

"It was probably a coincidence; she was probably preparing it for her niece."

Chen Lie was too lazy to explain to Zhao Siqi. If she had the guts, she could go ask the instructor in the Martial Way Department of Blue Star University.

"Martial Way Department instructor accepted a treasure worth tens of millions of Star-Origin Galactic Coins, and there's no explanation for that?"

"Yes, that professor said he would try his best to take care of me after I get into Blue Star University!"

"Nonsense!"

Zhao Siqi suddenly snorted coldly, "How could the professors at Starry Sky University be so shameless as to take your treasure, which is worth tens of millions of Star-Origin Galactic Coins, for nothing?"

"But it wasn't free; she made an exception and let me use the Blood Origin Crystal yesterday."

They also promised me two portions of Super Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid, which will probably be delivered in the next day or two. Then we'll see what happens."

Zhao Siqi was taken aback. Seeing Chen Lie's unwavering confidence, she couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could it be that he really made a deal with the instructors of the Martial Way Department at Starry Sky University?

He spoke with such conviction that I didn't want to lie, since there really was a teacher surnamed Chu in the Martial Way Department.

Now that things have come to this, Zhao Siqi couldn't say anything more. After all, it involved a Martial Way Department instructor. If she reprimanded Chen Lie, it would be a slight criticism of the Martial Way Department instructor, which was unacceptable.

Before long, all fifteen people from Blue Star had gathered.

Besides Blue Star, the Five Stars of the Eastern Region, as well as those from the other four regions, have also gathered here.

After everyone had gathered, Zhao Siqi stepped forward and began to speak.

"The Martial Way Department election is about to begin. This election will be hosted by a Martial Way Department instructor and several teaching assistants."

Only by passing all the screenings can you stand before the head of the Martial Way Department.

There are thousands of people from all planets participating in this election. Based on past examples, only a dozen or so of these thousands of people can break through various obstacles and finally stand in front of the head of the Martial Way Department.

The entire head of the Martial Way Department will personally select whether you are worthy of being given special training by the Martial Way Department of Starry Sky University and qualifying to stay at Starry Sky University.

Now, line up and follow me!

After Zhao Siqi finished speaking, the fifteen students from Blue Star stood in a row and followed Zhao Siqi into a hall called the ' Real Combat Room ' in the Tianyi Campus.

At this moment, not only Blue Star, but also people from other planets in the star system have arrived here. Zhao Siqi's Blue Star group was the first to arrive.

Upon entering the hall, Zhao Siqi went directly to the side of a woman who looked to be in her twenties.

"Assistant Instructor Wang, these fifteen people are all from the Five Stars of the Eastern Region, specifically from Blue Star, and each of them has already received their identity tokens."

The woman in her early twenties nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. Hand the person over to me!"

Zhao Siqi nodded and said to the fifteen people led by Jiang Yuan, "This is Wang Jie, Assistant Instructor Wang, who is assisting in this election and presiding over the election in the eastern region of the Canglan Star Domain."

Assistant Instructor Wang Jie will tell you the details of the competition, and you must obey Assistant Instructor Wang's arrangements.

The group of fifteen people nodded in agreement.

After giving these words of advice, Zhao Siqi bid farewell to Wang Jie and left.

Wang Jie said gently to the fifteen people from Blue Star, "Please wait a moment. After all the people from the Five Stars of the Eastern Region arrive, I will arrange your next steps."

Soon, two more groups of people walked in from outside, and the leaders of the two groups came to Wang Jie.

The two groups of people were from Red Flame Planet and Wood Source Planet, respectively.

The group of fifteen from Red Flame Planet walked ahead, led by a man. The man approached Wang Jie first and said, "Hello, Assistant Instructor Wang, I am the leader of Red Flame Planet, and these are the fifteen of us from Red Flame Planet participating in the competition!"

Teaching assistant Wang Jie gave a soft "hmm".

The team led by Wood Source Planet was led by a woman who came to report to Wang Jie after arriving at Red Flame Planet.

"Hello, Assistant Instructor Wang, we are candidates from Wood Source Planet."

Wang Jie nodded and said, "Keep them all!"

The two leaders from Red Flame Planet and Wood Source Planet both retreated.

Soon, all 75 participants from the Five Stars of the Eastern Region competition had arrived.

Teaching assistant Wang Jie walked to the center of the group and said, "Students from all planets, you have come from afar, thank you for your hard work."

This competition was organized by the Martial Way Department of our Starry Sky University to prevent geniuses from being buried and to discover them.

The competition has strict requirements, testing a person's strength, talent, and luck; all three are indispensable.

Don't be discouraged if you weren't selected, because the probability of being chosen is extremely low. The fact that you were recommended by your home planet means that each of you must be exceptionally talented.

By the time Wang Jie finished speaking, the entire hall had been filled with people.

At this moment, under the arrangement of several teaching assistants, thousands of people from various departments of the Canglan Star Domain lined up neatly in the middle of the hall.

A man in his forties came to the middle of the hall.

"To all the candidates from each star, I am Cheng Fengan, the instructor of the Martial Way Department, and I am here today to preside over this election."

This election has several stages, and these stages will eliminate more than 90% of you.

Only less than 10% of the remaining candidates are eligible to meet with the head of the Martial Way Department so that the head can make the final selection.

Of course, the department head is very picky. Anyone who doesn't meet his standards won't be selected, even if they pass all the screenings. It's purely a matter of luck.

"Now, the teaching assistants will arrange for the combat capability tests to begin!"

After speaking, Cheng Fengan, the instructor of the Martial Way Department, sat down on the high platform in the middle of the hall.

At this moment, teaching assistant Wang Jie called out, "People from the Eastern Planet, come with me!"

Upon hearing Wang Jie's call, all seventy-five people from the Five Stars of the Eastern Region, including Chen Lie, arrived at the far east side of the hall.

As Chen Lie followed, amidst the crowd and chaos, he suddenly felt someone trying to sabotage him. Someone pushed him with a palm strike that was neither too light nor too heavy. At the same time, an ankle suddenly stretched out in front of him, trying to trip him.

Chen Lie reacted quickly, turning slightly to avoid the trip.

Looking up, he saw a girl, around 17 years old, from among Wood Source Planet's group, tripping him.
