Training for Team Combat

Chen Liedao, "Yes, but it's not for living in. I'm buying a house so that my family will have a place to stay when they come to Lanjing in the future."

"That's true. My mom doesn't go out much, otherwise I would have found a place to stay in Lanjing like you," Ji Lingxuan said.

Chen Liedao, "I benefited greatly from my visit to your home last time. If you have the chance, please thank your mother for me."

"What are you thanking me for? Mom just brought out some snacks to treat you; she's too lazy to even cook a meal," Ji Lingxuan said.

"The dessert you're talking about, is it one with red flower petals?"

Although Chen Lie's memory of going to Ji Lingxuan's house was vague, he did remember eating some red flower petals there.

"Um."

"You must have eaten those flower petals, right? Didn't you notice any miraculous effects they had?" Chen Lie asked.

"I've never eaten the red petals because my mother said they're useless to me."

"But I've eaten quite a few blue and white petals, and after eating them I only felt comfortable, not any miraculous effects," Ji Lingxuan said.

Chen Lie found it strange, but couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "By the way, Ji, I see that you're quite capable. Aren't you planning to participate in this Permanent Councilor Star Competition?"

Ji Lingxuan thought for a moment and said, "My strength is not very stable, sometimes strong and sometimes weak. If something unexpected happens on the battlefield, I'm worried it will be a burden."

"You can rest assured, even without using the power of your Extraordinary Bloodline, your strength is already close to the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow, and you are definitely qualified to participate in the competition."

"In that case, I should participate, but participating in the competition requires going to Outer Stars, so I need to discuss it with my mother beforehand," Ji Lingxuan said.

"It's time to discuss it."

After speaking with Ji Lingxuan, Chen Lie reviewed the list of participants who had completed the Qi Blood-Qi Stage the Wood Source Planet training in the Drill Hall.

There are Xue Zhiran, Hua Jianying, Bu Feifan, Lian Changqing, Nie Shuangquan and others. These people are all at the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm, and they are definitely going to participate in the battle on Wood Source Planet.

After looking through the list once, Chen Lie put it away and tucked it into his pocket.

In the afternoon, Zheng Dongyang introduced all the participants who had confirmed their participation in the Blood-Qi Stage, so that they could get to know each other.

Those who have entered the realm of Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow include: Yang Jingnian, Jiang Yuan, Zhou Yu, Chen Lie, Kang Quanlin, Zuo Yuan'er, and Hao Yulong.

Currently, only seven people on Blue Star have reached the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi.

Although Chen Lie has not reached the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm, his strength is undeniably at the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi.

The hallmark of the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi is the light of the Blood Rainbow. After breaking through the acupoints and enhancing Qi and Blood, Chen Lie is invincible, except for not being able to use the Qi and Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow.

"Starting today, everyone will practice team combat. The school will select twelve Second-Order Martial Artist from the second-year Genius Class of Blue Star University to serve as your sparring partners."

Teamwork requires coordination. Once a team battle begins, Yang Jingnian will be the captain, Jiang Yuan will be the vice-captain, and everyone must obey Yang Jingnian.

If an emergency occurs that prevents Yang Jingnian from being present, everyone should prioritize Jiang Yuan and follow his instructions.

Inside the Martial Arts Arena, Zheng Dongyang stood with his hands behind his back, addressing the top twenty students on the Blood Qi Ranking.

After giving the instructions, he began to oversee team operations, having the participants practice coordinated combat in advance.

Chen Lie was among the crowd. Throughout the afternoon, he participated in four team battles against twelve second-year Genius Class students from Blue Star University. These students were all Second-Order Martial Artist had reached the peak of Blood Refining Refinement, and each of them possessed the strength to Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow.

Four team battles, all four losses.

As evening approached, Zheng Dongyang said, "Starting today, everyone will participate in team battles. There will be at least three team battles every day. You need to communicate with each other more so that you can give full play to your strength in team battles!"

At this point, the people below began to murmur among themselves.

"Who is this Yang Jingnian? I've never heard of him before. Why is he the captain, while Jiang Yuan can only be the vice-captain and has to listen to him?" Xia Zhizhi from Lanjing couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Shuwen smiled and said, "I've heard of Yang Jingnian. He's also from Lanjing, but he's half a year ahead of us. He entered Starry Sky University much earlier, so his martial arts level is stronger."

However, I asked Jiang Yuan, and although Yang Jingnian has been cultivating at Starry Sky University for half a year, his strength may not necessarily be stronger than Jiang Yuan Yuan's."

"Not necessarily? In my opinion, Brother Jiang Yuan is definitely more capable than that Yang Jingnian!" Xia Zhizhi said.

After giving some instructions, Zheng Dongyang announced the disbandment of the organization.

For two consecutive days, Chen Lie participated in group combat training.

In team combat training, because you have to coordinate with others, you can't bring out your full potential as an individual.

In fact, Chen Lie had cultivated the "Flood Dragon Rebirth Technique". If he used the secret method of qi and blood to burn his qi and blood, Chen Lie could sweep away all opponents below the Origin Aperture Stage in a short time. Even if there were twelve opponents at the Heaven Aperture Stage on Wood Source Planet, he could easily defeat them by himself.

However, the Qi and Blood Secret Technique is for people with Extraordinary Bloodline. For someone like Chen Lie who does not have Extraordinary Bloodline, using the Qi and Blood Secret Technique will cause his Qi and Blood to become depleted for at least two or three months.

If his qi and blood are depleted for two or three months, it means that during this period, he will find it difficult to make any further progress in martial arts. The price is too high, so Chen Lie has never used this move.

To barely master the secret techniques of Qi and Blood, one must wait until the Blood-Qi Transforming into Rainbow Realm, or at least break through the Primordial Aperture.

To achieve perfect mastery, one must wait until the Third Ultimate Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage.

If Chen Lie could defeat Wood Source Planet under normal circumstances, he would naturally be happy to see it happen. If he was just a little short of the crucial point, Chen Lie would also go all out and use the Qi and Blood Secret Technique once.

But if his teammates don't perform well and everyone loses, his individual scoring alone can't turn the tide, so there's no need for him to waste two or three months of his time.

That morning, after Chen Lie had breakfast, he received a call from his mother, Feng Yuelan.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Son, where are you now?" came the voice of his mother, Feng Yuelan, through the Communicator.

"I'm at Blue Star University!"

"Your dad and I are at Lanjing Star Boat Plaza. You called home last time and said you'd bought a house in Lanjing. We came over to take a look!"

Chen Lie paused, then immediately said, "Where are you? Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up!"

"There's no need to pick us up. Just send us the address of your new house, and we'll meet at the new place."

"Oh well!"

Chen Lie hung up the call and sent the address of the villa he had purchased, Heavenly Fortune True Martial Villa No. 9, to his parents. He then went to the Airship Plaza on campus and went to Heavenly Fortune True Martial.

On the other side, Chen Lie's parents, Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan, arrived outside the Heavenly Fortune True Martial Villa District by speedboat.

Upon seeing the villa inside, they were immediately shocked.

"This... the address my son sent couldn't be wrong, could it? This is a villa area!" Feng Yuelan said.

Chen Gequn shook his head and said, "That's right, Heavenly Fortune True Martial Villa No. 9."

I just saw it; this is Heavenly Fortune True Martial!

"This appears to be a high-end villa area, with only twenty or thirty households, and each household is quite spacious."

I heard that the average price of a house in Lanjing is 200,000 Star Dollar per square meter. This villa must be even more expensive. How could my son afford such a big villa?

Feng Yuelan couldn't help but feel strange.

Keep in mind that Chen Lie, the Three-Province Martial Champion, didn't even accept the 500 million Star Dollar endorsement fee. Where would a student get so much money to buy such a large detached villa?

Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan walked together to Heavenly Fortune True Martial's ninth villa and looked around outside.

"Is this the villa?" Chen Gequn asked, looking inside from outside.

"Two terraced villas, I see they have gardens and training grounds, everything you could want. The total area must be over 600 square meters. How expensive must that be!" Feng Yuelan said.

Just as Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn were marveling at the villa's luxury and spaciousness, a voice rang out.

"This villa occupies an area of 750 square meters, and including the second floor, the total area is 1130 square meters."

Upon hearing the voice, Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn turned around and saw a group of men and women around forty years old.

Hello, who are you...?

Upon seeing the man and woman who responded, Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan asked.

"You must be the owners of this villa? We are your neighbors. Villas No. 9 and No. 10 of Heavenly Fortune True Martial are two rows of connected houses with identical layouts. We are Villa No. 10," said the man, who was around forty years old.

"Oh, it's our neighbor! Hello, hello!" Chen Gequn replied.

"Judging from your accents, you don't seem to be locals from Lanjing, do you?"

"Yes, we are from out of town."

"For someone from out of town to be able to buy a villa in Lanjing belonging to Heavenly Fortune True Martial, their household registration issue should be resolved, right?"

The authorities are currently strictly enforcing the Relocation Decree, so I suppose you must have some connections. My name is Xu Yong, and I am a municipal councilor in Lanjing Sea-Calming City. This is my wife, Jin Xiuying."

Upon hearing Xu Yong introduce himself, Chen Gequn also said, "I am Chen Gequn, from East River Province. This is my wife, Feng Yuelan."

"East River Province? To have connections in East River Province and gain access to Lanjing, it seems you are no ordinary person," Xu Yong said.

"I'm ashamed to say that we bought this house because my son is studying at Lanjing University. He was the one who suggested it and arranged for it to be purchased. We have no relation to each other," Chen Gequn said.

"Oh? Is that so? Then it seems your son is a rare martial arts genius."

Coincidentally, my daughter is also quite accomplished in martial arts, and just two months ago she joined the Lanjing Genius Training Camp.

We're neighbors, and we'll inevitably have contact in the future. Perhaps your son could exchange martial arts tips with my daughter."

"I definitely will if I have the chance!" Chen Gequn said.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Gequn and Xu Yong started talking and chatting.

"Gequn, our Heavenly Fortune True Martial Villa District is not a place that can be taken over without connections. As far as I know, the children of the people who live in Heavenly Fortune True Martial are all very successful. Some are in Blue Star University, and some are in the affiliated Lanjing University. Last year, a member of the Lanjing Provincial Youth Genius Group also came from here."

"If we settle here, our children will definitely excel in martial arts in the future!"

"Oh? This place is so good for people?" Chen Gequn said.

"This place has good feng shui; it can't be bad."

After my daughter applied for the Martial Arts Department, our family moved here. Her martial arts grades improved rapidly, and now she's among the top students in the Lanjing Province Genius Training Camp."

Xu Yong couldn't stop talking about his daughter. Chen Gequn knew that there was an element of boasting and bragging in his words, but he didn't call him out on it. He just agreed with him.

As they were talking, an airship landed outside the villa area.

Chen Lie disembarked from the airship and headed to Villa No. 9 of Heavenly Fortune True Martial.

From afar, Chen Lie spotted his parents and called out, "Dad, Mom!"

When Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn saw Chen Lie, they immediately said, "Son, you're here. Is this the house you bought?"

"Yes, it is Villa No. 9!" Chen Lie nodded.

"How much would this cost...?"

"It won't cost much," Chen Liedao.

At this moment, Xu Yong's wife, Jin Xiuying, said, "Yuelan, is this your son? He is indeed a handsome young man!"

Feng Yuelan smiled. She had just spoken with Jin Xiuying and didn't dislike her neighbor, so she said, "You flatter me!"

"This is our next-door neighbor, the owner of villa number 10," Feng Yuelan said, introducing them to Chen Lie.

After greeting Xu Yong and Jin Xiuying, Chen Lie said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, let's go inside and take a look!"

"Good!"

After Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan responded, they said to their neighbors Xu Yong and Jin Xiuying, "We'll go inside first, and we'll invite you over after we've tidied up!"

Xu Yong and Jin Xiuying responded gently.

Seeing Chen Lie's family enter, Jin Xiuying asked her husband Xu Yong, "Is what this family said true or false?"

Does a student from Blue Star University have the means to buy a villa in Heavenly Fortune True Martial? The most important thing is the household registration issue.

"Whether it's true or not, being able to get into Blue Star University from East River Province is already a martial arts genius."

This family's son is a student at Blue Star University, a year ahead of our Cai Ying. Being a year ahead of Cai Ying, his Cai Ying arts skills are definitely superior. Didn't Cai Ying say she's recently encountered a bottleneck in her martial arts?

"Since you're free these days, you can take Cai Ying to visit this family. Tell her to ask the son of this family for Cai Ying arts advice; it should be helpful to her," Xu Yong said.

"Okay, I understand!"

Xu Yong and Jin Xiuying talked as they returned to Villa No. 10.

At this moment, a beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in a pure white martial arts uniform, walked out of the Martial Arts Arena inside the villa.

"Dad, Mom, are the neighbors from the villa next door here?" the girl asked.

"Yes, that's right!"

"I saw people from Shenzhou Group delivering home appliances and furniture here a couple of days ago. Who lives next door?" the girl asked.

"They're from out of town."

"From another province?"

The girl murmured something and then paid no more attention.

"Cai Ying, go back and change your clothes. You'll be visiting this neighbor with Mom later," Jin Xiuying said.

"Is this necessary? Why don't you go by yourself? Why drag me along?" the girl asked.

"You'll see when you get there. Go change your clothes!"

"Oh well!"

Seeing her mother's insistence, the girl had no choice but to nod in agreement.

On the other side, Chen Lie brought his parents into the villa and toured the place, paying particular attention to the garden and the Martial Arts Arena.

Upon arriving at the villa and seeing that it was fully furnished with appliances and furniture, Feng Yuelan asked, "Son, have you finished tidying up this villa?"

Chen Lie nodded and said, "The facilities inside are complete, and you can check in anytime."
