Journey to Sunan Province

Chen Lie looked around the Martial Arts Repository and then randomly selected two Martial Arts Crystal Stone.

As they were preparing to leave, Zhang Liwu asked, "Chen Lie, aren't you going to choose a couple more martial arts techniques?"

"These two are enough," Chen Lie said.

"Now that Outer Star Crystal are used, the difficulty of martial arts training has been greatly reduced compared to rote memorization. Principal Lei instructed you to choose as many as possible."

Since you're going to practice two or four martial arts styles anyway, you might as well choose one style from each of the four: fist techniques, palm techniques, leg techniques, and body techniques. That way, you won't have any weaknesses in combat.

For martial arts geniuses like you, learning a couple more martial arts techniques won't take much effort.

"Don't choose too many; don't bite off more than you can chew."

Chen Lie didn't give Zhang Liwu a chance to speak again and left the Martial Arts Repository first.

Zhang Liwu was puzzled. The saying "don't bite off more than you can chew" applies to those with mediocre talent. For top geniuses on Blue Star, there's no such thing as "don't bite off more than you can chew." This statement shows that Chen Lie really didn't want to choose martial arts.

He simply didn't know how to respond to Principal Lei.

After leaving the Blue Star University Martial Arts Repository, Chen Lie went to the restaurant for a meal.

He met Ruan Liusu at the restaurant entrance.

"Chen Lie, you're only arriving at the restaurant at this hour?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "Yes, I just went somewhere else."

Ruan Liusu was originally going to leave the restaurant, but when she saw Chen Lie come in, she followed him.

Chen Lie ordered a martial arts meal and sat down at the table. Seeing Ruan Liusu sit down, he said, "Oh, by the way, I'll give you two things."

"What is it?"

Chen Lie placed the two Martial Arts Crystal Stone he had just picked out from the Martial Arts Repository directly on the dining table.

"Two SSS-grade Martial Arts Crystal Stone."

"Don't you want it yourself?" Ruan Liusu asked.

"I don't need it, you can take it!"

Ruan Liusu smiled. Although she didn't particularly need Martial Arts Crystal Stone, since they were given to her by Chen Lie, she hesitated for a moment before accepting them.

"Um... Chen Lie, do you remember what I told you before?"

"What's up?"

"It's about... my parents inviting you to visit them in Sunan Province. The holidays are coming up soon, so this is a good opportunity," Ruan Liusu said.

"Good!"

Chen Lie nodded in agreement. "Take me with you when you go back to Sunan Province."

"Um!"

Ruan Liusu immediately beamed with joy.

Judging from Chen Lie's martial arts strength, that seven-star talent is simply nonsense.

She was happy for Chen Lie, and also happy for herself.

Seeing the smiling girl in front of him, who kept showing him kindness, Chen Lie was deeply moved.

In his previous life, Ruan Liusu was Heavenly Pride Daughter, far beyond his reach. Moreover, Ruan Liusu now seemed to possess the ' Nine Yin Sacred Vein '.

If the Nine Yin Sacred Vein is the kind Chen Lie heard about in Taia Star Province in his previous life, and it allows one to reach a larger platform and unleash the power of the Nine Yin Sacred Vein, then Ruan Liusu's future potential is truly immeasurable.

"Do you have time this afternoon? After I finish eating, let's find a room to chat. I'll share some tips on improving the purity of your Qi and blood, and the cultivation method for the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm."

"Sure! Of course I have time!"

Ruan Liusu nodded repeatedly.

Chen Lie quickly finished his meal and left the restaurant with Ruan Liusu. They found a martial arts exchange room within the Thirteenth Campus and began sharing martial arts techniques with Ruan Liusu.

First, he explained some of the advanced martial arts concepts of the Central Galactic Empire to Ruan Liusu. Then, he highlighted the Strength Value and the shortcut to the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm and shared them with Ruan Liusu.

After some conversation, Chen Lie discovered that Ruan Liusu not only had high comprehension but also the ability to apply what she learned to other situations. Whenever Chen Lie casually brought up a point of view, Ruan Liusu would often follow up with questions on that point and eventually uncover the entire cultivation path.

An afternoon passed, and several hours of conversation gave Ruan Liusu a completely new understanding of Chen Lie's profound knowledge of martial arts.

It's no exaggeration to say that Chen Lie's guidance on Martial Arts Knowledge will save her at least a month of time, and she will benefit from it throughout her entire Blood-Qi Stage.

Given his profound understanding of martial arts, Ruan Liusu absolutely refused to believe that Chen Lie lacked talent.

After the exchange, a day had passed. Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu left the exchange room and returned to their respective Dormitory.

Over the next few days, Chen Lie went to the Star Liquid Storage Vault every day to continue honing his Strength Value.

After his Strength Value exceeded fifteen times, he felt that it was difficult to make any further progress. Even with the use of a large amount of Star Liquid, he could only increase it by less than 0.05 times per day at most.

In just over ten days, Chen Lie used up all 250,000 milliliters of Star Liquid.

At this moment, Chen Lie felt that his Strength Value could hardly improve any further, so he went to the Cultivation Room in the campus to check his Blood Qi Value and strength.

After these days of training, Chen Lie, without deliberately increasing his Qi and Blood Qi Value Blood Qi Value, has already broken through the 3000-calorie mark, reaching 3032.86 calories. His strength has also reached 46920.99 jun, and his Strength Value has reached 15.31 times.

"As I expected, the Strength Value is stuck at 15.3 times."

Chen Lie measured his Strength Value multiplier and remained silent for a while.

In fact, if he were given enough Star Liquid, he could try to increase his Strength Value to 15.4 times, but that would require a massive amount of Star Liquid, perhaps even a million milliliters wouldn't be enough.

One million milliliters is one cubic meter. Even if he shamelessly went to Lei Jinglong, Lei Jinglong might not approve it again.

In Chen Lie's view, a 0.1x increase in Strength Value was not a substantial difference, so he gave up the idea of finding Star Liquid to increase his Strength Value.

"15.3 times the Strength Value, although it can't compare to the top geniuses of the Central Galactic Empire, it has still reached that level, so it can't be considered a significant gap."

Although the top martial arts genius of the Central Galactic Empire could hone his Strength Value to more than 15.8 times using massive resources, he was still at the same level as Chen Lie.

Even if the Strength Value Infinity Building close to 16 times, it is still within the range of 15 times.

The truly formidable are those martial arts geniuses who also possess powerful Extraordinary Bloodline. These individuals, relying on the bloodline power inherited from their fathers, can break through the major limitations of the human body, pushing their Strength Value to 15 times the normal level, reaching an indescribable realm.

A Qi and Blood purity of 15 times the Strength Value is comparable to a young Starry Sky Behemoth. Exceeding 15 times the Strength Value means you are half a step ahead of Starry Sky Behemoth.

To reach this level, one's parents must be an unparalleled powerhouse who can pass on their bloodline power; it's something most people can only dream of.

Seven days passed quickly.

Early that morning, as soon as Chen Lie arrived at the Drill Hall, Ruan Liuyun came to Chen Lie side and handed Chen Lie a black crystal card.

Here, this is for you!

Chen Lie asked, "What is this?"

Ruan Liuyun said expressionlessly, "It's a Galactic Coin Star Dollar Card from Canglan Interstellar Bank, containing 250,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins."

Why are you giving me this?

"Because one of my Assistant Instructor Group members was named one of the Blue Star Ten Elites,' this was an award given to me by Blue Star University."

"Such a large reward?"

Chen Lie knew that Blue Star's foreign exchange reserves were not much, and after all expenses each year, the surplus was only three or four million Galactic Coin. Now, to take out a fraction of the surplus as a reward for someone was a bit too generous.

"That's quite a lot, but it's a reward for mentoring one of the Blue Star Ten Elites, so it's reasonable."

"Since this is a reward for you, you should take it. There's no need to give it to me," Chen Lie declined.

"If I don't give it to you, do you think my little ingrate will be happy? You should keep it. Besides, this 250,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins is not the whole reward, it's only half."

The other half, because Blue Star University couldn't provide that many Galactic Coin at the moment, was converted into the martial arts resources I needed.

"Speaking of which, I'm actually benefiting from your help; I've got cultivation resources for the whole year."

After Ruan Liuyun finished speaking, seeing Chen Lie hesitate, she continued, "It's not just you; I'll share some of the rewards I give to the other members of the Assistant Instructor Group for their progress."

"Oh well."

Chen Lie nodded and accepted the Galactic Coin Star Dollar Card from Ruan Liuyun's hand.

At this moment, Xu Wanqing from the Assistant Instructor Group suddenly arrived and Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, your sister is looking for you outside!"

"My sister?"

Chen Lie's heart skipped a beat, and then he walked out of the Drill Hall.

As soon as he stepped outside, Chen Lie saw Chen Xingyao.

Chen Xingyao saw Chen Lie, she immediately went up to him. "Brother, you're here?"

"Um, is there something you need?" Chen Lie asked.

"Uh, there's something!"

Chen Xingyao glanced around and said in a low voice, "Brother, the day before yesterday, I tested my Sea of Consciousness again in front of Jing Qingtian, the president of the Divine Sense Master Association."

For some reason, even though I used the Mental Power manipulation method you taught me and manipulated my Mental Power in the same way as last time, I still got a score of 20 million in my Sea of Consciousness.

At the time, Chairman Jing was startled and reacted strangely. Yesterday, he approached me and said he wanted to take me to study Outer Stars to prepare me for cultivating Consciousness Spirit in the future.

I said I didn't need it, and he launched into a long speech, insisting on taking me to Outer Stars for my future.

I'm leaving tomorrow!

Chen Lie thought for a moment and said, "It's probably because you used too many Spirit Nourishing Flower at Blue Star University, so your Sea of Consciousness was replenished. Before that, your Sea of Consciousness had been in a state of depletion."

"Going to see the Outer Stars is not a bad thing; Blue Star will definitely protect you."

"Well, I just wanted to let you know that Blue Star University is about to have its summer break. I was hoping to take this opportunity to go home and see my parents, but now I can't go back. Could you go back and tell them for me?"

"Okay, I understand."

"Brother, I've been practicing the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method you taught me, and my Strength Value has increased ninefold. I'll soon reach the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm."

Chen Lie instructed, "You must be careful to hide yourself Outer Stars, and you must never let anyone discover the cultivation technique you are practicing."

"Yes, I know." Chen Xingyao nodded.

Have you ever encountered any difficulties in martial arts or Mental Power? I can help you solve them.

"Difficulties? There are indeed some."

"Then come with me!"

Chen Lie found a Cultivation Room and began to instruct Chen Xingyao arts.

After giving him instructions, Chen Lie realized that Chen Xingyao was very close to achieving minor success in the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method.

From the time he taught his sister the martial arts techniques until now, it has been a little over half a year, which is not a slow progress.

After all, this was Chen Xingyao's first time practicing the Green Phoenix Body Refining Method, a secret martial arts method, so he was definitely not at the level that Chen Lie had studied for decades in his previous life.

After giving Chen Xingyao instructions and leaving the Cultivation Room, Chen Lie asked, "Has Yan Yueke contacted you again?"

Chen Xingyao shook her head. "She contacted me at first, but when she realized I wasn't paying attention to her, she gradually stopped contacting me."

"Very good. The Lanjing Yan Family is no good. From now on, you should not only avoid contact with them, but also be wary of them."

"Oh, I see!"

After giving his sister a few more instructions, Chen Lie sent her back.

The following day was a holiday for Blue Star University.

Ruan Liusu sent a message to Chen Lie a day in advance, and Chen Lie also made preparations and went to Sunan Province with Ruan Liusu.

Many airships took off from the Airship Plaza of Blue Star University and flew out of the Blue Star University.

As agreed, Chen Lie arrived at the Airship Plaza in the Thirteenth Campus.

As soon as he entered, he saw Ruan Liusu waving at him.

"Chen Lie, over here!"

Chen Lie strode towards Ruan Liusu Ruan Liusu, stood before her, glanced at the airship beside her, and asked, "Shall we take this airship?"

Ruan Liusu hummed in agreement and said, "This is not an ordinary airship, it's Second-Generation High-Speed Airship, with a top speed three times that of an ordinary airship."

With this, we won't need to take the Star Boat anymore, let's get on!"

Ruan Liusu piloted the airship to open the hatch and boarded the airship with Chen Lie.

After boarding the airship, Ruan Liusu immediately gave the airship instructions, and the airship took off and flew out of Blue Star University almost instantly, heading towards Sunan Province.

"Chen Lie, my home is in Suyang City, Sunan Province. My father holds a vice-presidentship in the Sunan Province Martial Artist Association, but he rarely gets involved in the Martial Artist Association's affairs and spends most of his time practicing martial arts."

My mother is Provincial Councilor in Sunan Province...

As soon as the airship took off, Ruan Liusu began to introduce her family background to Chen Lie.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lie said, "From what you're saying, your family isn't a clan?"

"No, we have very few relatives. I only have one uncle, who is Sister Yun's father. He is the Provincial Governor of Sunan Province."

Apart from that, there are no other members of my family in Suyang City."

Chen Lie had assumed that Ruan Liusu came from a large family, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

However, after hearing her say that, it seems that the Ruan Family can be considered a Brahmin family in Sunan Province.

"Did your parents invite me over for something?"

Ruan Liusu blushed slightly and softly hummed in agreement. "They'll probably say something like, 'Let's look after each other at Starry Sky University.'"

Chen Lie simply said "Oh," and then remained silent.

He wasn't stupid; how could he not understand that Ruan Liusu's parents wanted to 'observe' him?

However, Chen Lie was wrong. Ruan Liusu's parents invited him not just to observe.

Because in Ruan Liusu's parents' eyes, his relationship with Ruan Liusu was already settled.
