Fifteen Times the Strength Value

Because the Drill Hall was filled with real combat sparring, and Chen Lie and Li Yan were very careful to control the noise of their battle, few people noticed the secret of Chen Lie's golden blood energy.

After completing his daily sparring mission, Chen Lie left the Drill Hall and headed to the Star Liquid Distribution Office.

His Strength Value reached 14.91, which was very close to fifteen times. As long as he had enough Star Liquid, he could break through to 15 times his Strength Value.

Chen Lie learned from the Star Liquid Distribution Office that he could now receive four bottles of Star Liquid as a reward for breaking through eight times his Strength Value and ranking high on the Blood Qi Ranking.

A few bottles of Star Liquid were a drop in the ocean for Chen Lie.

Even if he didn't use much Star Liquid, once his Strength Value reached 14 times the normal level, it was extremely difficult to increase it even slightly. Four bottles of Star Liquid were clearly not enough for him.

"It seems we need to go see Principal Lei."

Only the president of Blue Star University can make decisions regarding large quantities of Star Liquid.

Upon arriving at the Thirteenth Campus again, Chen Lie went directly to the Principal's Office.

Chen Lie knocked on the door of the Principal's Office.

A voice came from inside the office. "Come in!"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Lie pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside his office, Lei Jinglong was watching live combat battles taking place on various Duel Platform in the Drill Hall.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Lei Jinglong said, "Oh? It's Chen Lie. What can I do for you?"

"Principal Lei, I would like to request some Star Liquid for my cultivation."

"No problem, how much Star Liquid do you need?"

Upon hearing that Chen Lie needed Star Liquid for martial arts training, Lei Jinglong agreed without hesitation.

"About two hundred thousand milliliters."

"How much? Two hundred thousand milliliters? Why do you need so much?"

Lei Jinglong was immediately taken aback when he heard the amount Chen Lie needed.

Two hundred thousand milliliters of Star Liquid is equivalent to 0.2 cubic meters. Blue Star's current Star Liquid reserves are less than 20 cubic meters, not to mention that Half a Cubic Fathom of Star Liquid was used to exchange for Profound Yang Golden Marrow for Chen Lie.

"Principal Lei, I know that Star Liquid is precious, but I need so much of Star Liquid; it is indeed of great use to martial arts."

"Even if it's extremely useful, you wouldn't need this much, would you?"

As the Blue Star University President and one of Blue Star's leaders, Lei Jinglong naturally had to think long-term and plan for the future generations of Blue Star.

This generation has exhausted the Star Liquid; what will the next generation do? If they continue to live beyond their means, what will those born in the Year of the Rabbit eat?

After a moment's Chen Lie said, "Principal Lei, the reason I need 200,000 milliliters of Star Liquid is because I want to increase my Strength Value by ten times."

"Ten times the Strength Value? You mean you're aiming for ten times the Strength Value?"

Lei Jinglong thought he had misheard.

Within the Five Stars of the Eastern Region, ten times the Strength Value means Yaoyao and reaching the level of Outer Stars martial arts genius.

The only person on their Blue Star to have broken through ten times the Strength Value was able to achieve this because he became a disciple of a prominent figure from Starry Sky University and received meticulous guidance.

A genius with ten times the Strength Value is practically only possible within the Ten-Star Alliance in the Central Star Region.

Such a genius would be an undisputed leader in any star outside the Ten-Star Alliance, a top-tier genius.

"Yes, as long as you give me 200,000 milliliters of Star Liquid, I am absolutely confident that I can increase my Strength Value by tenfold."

"Alright! Since you're so confident, I'll approve the 200,000 milliliters of Star Liquid for you."

Ten times the Strength Value means that one can break through the Heaven Aperture in the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm, greatly increasing their potential. The support of 200,000 milliliters of Star Liquid is absolutely worthwhile, not to mention at such a critical time.

"Thank you very much, Principal Lei."

"No need to thank me, it's all for the future of Blue Star. Your breakthrough of ten times your Strength Value will allow you to contribute more to Blue Star in the future Permanent Councilor Star Competition."

After breaking through ten times your Strength Value, you should strive to quickly reach the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm.

"Ten times the Strength Value allows you to cultivate the Heaven Aperture. Once the Heaven Aperture is cultivated, coupled with your Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, you can directly crush any opponent at any Blood-Qi Stage on Wood Source Planet."

"I understand!" Chen Lie nodded.

Lei Jinglong approved a note for Chen Lie, on which he directly approved 250,000 milliliters of Star Liquid.

After approving the slip, Lei Jinglong handed it to Chen Lie and said, "I'll let them know at the Star Liquid Storage Vault later, you can go and pick it up anytime!"

Chen Lie took the note and thanked him again.

With this Star Liquid, his Strength Value.

"By the way, Chen Lie, I heard that when you were tested for your aptitude at Starry Sky University, your True Qi Affinity was only seven stars."

Don't be discouraged. You can now reach ten times your Strength Value. With ten times your Strength Value, you can cultivate the Heaven Aperture in the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, which will greatly enhance your potential.

In Outer Stars, there are no examples of those who cultivate the Heaven Aperture who have ultimately achieved a level lower than Ninth-Order Grandmaster; True Qi Affinity is nothing special.

Moreover, you possess a Heavenly-level Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, which enhances martial arts cultivation, far surpassing the Ten-Star True Qi Affinity.

"And someone with your level of Consciousness Spirit has a very high probability of becoming Ninth-Order Divine Sense Master in the future."

"I know my potential and I'm not discouraged at all. Principal Lei, you don't need to worry."

"That's good."

Lei Jinglong nodded. In the Blood-Qi Stage, Strength Value is a reflection of a person's talent. Lei Jinglong had never heard of a martial arts genius with Strength Value as high as ten times that of someone with poor aptitude.

However, people's physical constitutions are different. Perhaps Chen Lie is just naturally gifted, but because of his different physique, his affinity for True Qi qi is not very strong.

"By the way, Chen Lie, did you have a special physique detected at Starry Sky University?"

"Yes, this time I used the Outer Stars cultivation environment and the Profound Yang Golden Marrow I purchased from Outer Stars to activate my long-dormant physique."

"Oh? What kind of constitution does it have?"

"Let's call it Pure Yang Physique for now, because when the Pure Yang Physique is activated, my blood and qi have turned golden, and my strength has greatly increased," Chen Liedao.

"Pure Yang Physique?"

Lei Jinglong thought about it; he had indeed never heard of such a physique.

"Your True Qi affinity is not high, perhaps because you have activated the Pure Yang Physique."

You may have originally had Ten-Star True Qi Affinity, but under the influence of your Pure Yang constitution, it has dropped to seven stars.

However, every loss has its gain; you've activated this constitution, which will definitely bring you great benefits in the future.

Chen Lie merely echoed Lei Jinglong's speculation with a few words.

After exchanging a few words with Lei Jinglong, Chen Lie said goodbye and left the Principal's Office.

At noon, Chen Lie had lunch at the restaurant.

Just as Chen Lie was eating, Ji Lingxuan walked in from outside the restaurant.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Ji Lingxuan ordered a martial arts meal from the restaurant window and then sat down at Chen Lie's table.

"Hello, Chen Lie."

"Hello!"

Chen Lie nodded repeatedly when he saw Ji Lingxuan.

"Chen Lie, you left too quickly today. There's something I didn't have time to tell you."

"Oh? What is it?"

"When you went to Starry Sky University, people from your East River Province came looking for you, but they couldn't find you. I was there at the time. The people from East River Province asked me to help them. Please pass on their message to you when you return."

Chen Lie asked, "People from East River Province are looking for me? Who are they? What do they want?"

"They're from the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association. Although they didn't say why they wanted to see you, I could roughly guess, because not long ago, someone from the Yunchuan Province Martial Artist Association also came to see me. It must be the same thing!"

"What's up?"

Ji Lingxuan said, "Every year around this time, the Blue Star Martial Artist Association holds a global Resource Allocation Contest among provinces."

The Martial Artist Association associations in each province can nominate the most outstanding martial artist of the year to participate in the Resource Allocation Contest.

In the Resource Allocation Contest, those who perform well will have their provinces receive a relative advantage Blue Star terms of global resources the following year.

"Our Yunchuan Province Martial Artist Association has already told me about this matter. Your Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association came to see you, presumably because of this as well."

"Okay, I understand. When did they ask me to meet them?" Chen Liedao.

"They said they'll come looking for you again in three days, which is tomorrow. You just need to wait in the Drill Hall of the Super Genius Class in Thirteenth Campus. They can find their way here!" Ji Lingxuan said.

"Okay, I understand!"

Chen Lie nodded.

Soon, Chen Lie finished his martial arts meal, said goodbye to Ji Lingxuan, and left the restaurant first.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Lie asked a professor from Blue Star University for directions before finally reaching the Star Liquid Storage Vault.

As soon as Chen Lie approached the Star Liquid Storage Vault Star Liquid Storage Vault, he saw that it was heavily guarded. As soon as he got close, guards immediately came forward to drive him away.

"Young man, this is restricted area of Blue Star University. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach. Please move aside!"

Chen Lie pulled out the slip of paper that Lei Jinglong had given him and said, "I have Principal Lei's approval here. Principal Lei specially approved this for me to collect the Star Liquid."

The guard who was driving Chen Lie away glanced at the approval slip in Chen Lie's hand and immediately said, "Come with me to see the commander of our Third Army Corps!"

Holding the approval slip, Chen Lie followed the guard into the depths of the storage warehouse.

Chen Lie walked with the guard for more than ten minutes until they arrived at the outside of a house.

"Reporting to the commander, a student has come here with Principal Lei's approval slip to collect the Star Liquid. I have brought him here!"

The guard approached the house and bowed respectfully.

Soon, a man in his forties, dressed in military uniform, came out of the house.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, the man asked directly, "You must be Chen Lie, right?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, I am Cui Jian, the commander of the Third Garrison Legion responsible for guarding the Star Liquid Storage Vault at Blue Star University."

Principal Lei has already spoken to me."

As Cui Jian spoke, he said to the guard who had led Chen Lie over, "You can go out now!"

"Yes!"

The guard responded and immediately turned and left.

"Chen Lie, classmate, come with me!"

Cui Jian led Chen Lie around the town's defensive perimeter, eventually leading them through a passage into a huge basement.

Upon arriving at a smart gate, Cui Jian underwent facial recognition, and the smart gate opened automatically shortly afterward.

Following Cui Jian through the door, Chen Lie saw a huge enclosed jade pool in front of him, covered with a layer of transparent glass crystal, and filled with shimmering Star Liquid beneath.

"This is the storage location for Star Liquid. Principal Lei said that you need a huge amount of Star Liquid Star Liquid, and it's inconvenient to carry so much. So you can use it here directly. You can use it whenever you want, or I'll give you as much as you need."

"If possible, I'll use it here. Could you please have Commander Cui fetch me 5,000 milliliters of Star Liquid?" Chen Lie said.

"Can!"

Cui Jian personally used a jade pot to retrieve 5,000 milliliters of Star Liquid from the Star Liquid pool for Chen Lie.

"There's a separate basement next door where you can use the Star Liquid."

"Thank you, Commander Cui."

Chen Lie followed the direction Cui Jian pointed and went to the basement next door.

Upon arriving at the private basement, Chen Lie sat down cross-legged and began drinking the Star Liquid from the jade pot.

As soon as the Star Liquid entered his stomach, Chen Lie activated the martial arts secrets within the <Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique> to rapidly increase the purity of his Qi and blood.

He hadn't used much Star Liquid before, so his body hadn't developed immunity to Star Liquid, and the Star Liquid could still have a significant effect on him.

Five thousand milliliters of Star Liquid was enough for Chen Lie to take the final step with fifteen times his Strength Value.

Chen Lie focused all his efforts on cultivating the purity of his qi and blood. He drank the Star Liquid several times while practicing martial arts. Each time, when the energy of the Star Liquid was exhausted, he would drink it again.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lie finished drinking the Star Liquid in the jade pot. Chen Lie could sense that the purity of his blood and qi was increasing at an incredible speed.

Under the introspection of his divine sense, Chen Lie discovered that the golden blood energy within his body was even more dazzling.

Suddenly, his blood and energy surged out of his body, making him shimmer with golden light. At the same time, thunderous roars echoed from Chen Lie's body.

Upon experiencing this change in his body, he immediately knew that he had broken through the legendary limit and reached Strength Value fifteen times that only geniuses of the Central Galactic Empire could achieve.

"My Strength Value has finally broken through fifteen times. Now I can finally be considered to be on the same starting line as the martial arts geniuses of the Central Galactic Empire."

Sensing the changes in his body, Chen Lie felt happy.

Strength Value, fifteen times and below fifteen times, are two different concepts, which are related to whether he can step into the Supreme Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Stage.

" With my Strength Value at this incredible level, it's extremely difficult to increase it even a fraction further. Right now, I can still use over 200,000 milliliters of Star Liquid. Even if I have to grind it down, I can still increase my Strength Value by 0.1 to 0.2 times."

After assessing his condition, Chen Lie ended his cultivation and left the Star Liquid Storage Vault.

Inside the reception room of Blue Star University were Xu Tianchuan, president of the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association, Gu Tian, a renowned teacher of the Dongchuan Province Youth Talent Group, and a beautiful woman around twenty years old.

"President Xu, the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association is very busy. You may leave now after meeting with Chen Lie."

On the bench in the reception room, Gu Tian spoke to Xu Tianchuan.

"The affairs of the Martial Artist Association are not urgent. This matter concerns the martial arts resources of our East River Province for the next year. Nothing is more important than this," Xu Tianchuan said.

"Our East River Province Martial Leader this year is really something, he even managed to visit Outer Stars."

"Those who can join the Super Genius Class are all the best among the younger generation of Martial Artist on Blue Star."

Xu Tianchuan and Gu Tian were both quite pleased.

A short while later, a staff member from Blue Star University came over.

"Hello, President Xu from East River Province, your application to enter Blue Star University has been approved, and you can now enter the campus to search for people!"

"This is troublesome!"

Xu Tianchuan nodded and said, "Old Master, shall we go in?"

Gu Tian stroked his beard and said, "Isn't it a bit inappropriate for the two of us old guys to keep coming into the school to look for a junior?"

"Then, the two of us will wait here while Chen Ying goes to call Chen Lie out. They're cousins; they should have plenty to talk about."

"That's true!"

Xu Tianchuan nodded, after all, he brought Chen Ying along this time so that she could speak on his behalf.

"Chen Ying, go and call Chen Lie out!"

"Okay, President Xu, I'll go right away!"

Chen Ying responded.

"We went there once before, on the Thirteenth Campus of Blue Star University. Just ask someone in the campus square."

"I know!"

After answering, Chen Ying left the reception room of Blue Star University.

Walking on the campus of Blue Star University, Chen Ying saw guards patrolling everywhere, and almost every area had a Sky Eye System, so the entire Blue Star University was under comprehensive and seamless monitoring.

"Blue Star University is indeed heavily guarded..."

She was also a student in the East River Province Genius Training Camp, and in theory, she was qualified to enter Blue Star University. However, she did not choose this path back then. Now that she has the opportunity to come to the number one martial arts training academy on Blue Star, she naturally wants to take a good look.

As Chen Ying walked and looked around, she soon arrived at the Airship Plaza. She boarded a public airship and headed to the Thirteenth Campus of Blue Star University.

Upon arriving at the Thirteenth Campus, Chen Ying noticed that the campus was sparsely populated, so she followed the few people and made her way to the inner square of the Thirteenth Campus.

Chen Ying stood in the campus for a long time. She tried calling Chen Lie's phone, but as before, she couldn't get through.

Finally, she saw a young girl walk past her.

So Chen Ying immediately went up to him and asked, "Excuse me, do you know Chen Lie?"

"Chen Lie?"

The beautiful girl glanced at Chen Ying and asked, "Who are you? What do you want with Chen Lie?"

"You know Chen Lie? I'm his cousin. Talk to him if you need anything!"

"Oh? You're Chen Lie's cousin?"

The girl gave Chen Ying a long, careful look, then smiled dismissively.

"You're looking for Chen Lie? Then come with me!"

Although Chen Ying found the girl's reaction a bit strange, she still followed her.

"Excuse me, what's your name, and what's your relationship to my cousin?" Chen Ying asked as they walked down the street.

"My name is Xia Zhizhi. As for my relationship with your cousin?"

"Right now, we can barely be considered classmates, but in the future, your cousin might not be qualified to be associated with me!"

Chen Ying's expression changed. Such harsh words—could this person have a grudge against Chen Lie?
