"What? Ten times the Strength Value?"

"Ten times the Strength Value, that's terrifying! No wonder he's number one on the Blood Qi Ranking. Who can compare to him in terms of ten times the Strength Value alone?"

"I've never heard of Ning Fan. He was a student in the previous year, and which province is he from?"

"It seems to be a province called ' Westcloud Province,' which ranks in the twentieth place in the Blue Star Martial Arts Index. However, he was admitted to the Blue Star University Affiliated Martial Arts High School in his second year of applying for the Martial Arts Department. He's not the Martial Leader of any province, otherwise his reputation wouldn't be so low."

After speaking about Ning Fan, Lei Jinglong mainly introduced the participants in the True Qi Stage to those who were preparing to participate in the battle during the Blood-Qi Stage.

Besides Ning Fan, the other participants in the True Qi Stage include: Chu Luo, Lü Xianchuan, Yu Wenqin, Zhao Siqi, Gu Yuanyun, Shen Fei...

Ten people participated in the True Qi Stage, and all of them gathered.

After the introductions, Lei Jinglong dismissed the ordinary Super Genius Class students and called Ning Fan and Yang Jingnian to the front.

"According to the information gathered, the number one person in the True Qi Stage on Wood Source Planet Meng Qingwan, and the number one person in the Blood-Qi Stage is named Xue Zhiran."

These two are not ordinary people, especially Meng Qingwan. Apart from her name, we can't find any other information about her.

You two should be careful with your respective opponents."

"Principal Lei, rest assured, with my strength, I have no problem dealing with anyone below the Heaven Aperture Stage."

"Even if it's the Heaven Aperture Stage, with my Mental Power level, I might still be able to give it a shot," Yang Jingnian said.

Ning Fan slowly said, "I asked around at Starry Sky University about Meng Qingwan. She is a student in the Sword Dao Department, and one of the outstanding students in the Sword Dao Department."

Sword Cultivator are very difficult to deal with, but I have confidence in myself.

Seeing the two men's statements, Lei Jinglong felt a little relieved. "That's good. I was just afraid you weren't confident enough."

The official information regarding the Permanent Council Star Contest has been clarified: there will be team battles, and these team battles will have a decisive impact on the final outcome.

In individual combat, your abilities are limited, but in team battles, a single, powerful individual can dictate the entire course of the battle.

Lei Jinglong began to predict the opponents each participant would face.

When it came to Chen Lie, Lei Jinglong emphasized, "Chen Lie, the battle plan devised by Blue Star University wants you to deal with Sang Ji from Wood Source Planet. This Sang Ji is at the Earth Aperture Stage of the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi. Sang Ji's combat strength should not be underestimated. According to the intelligence from Wood Source Planet, Sang Ji fought against Hua Jianying and Blood-Qi Stage participant from Wood Source Planet, and they drew twice in five exchanges."

"You have a special physique and powerful combat strength, but you've only recently entered the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi. Are you confident?"

Chen Lie replied directly, "Yes!"

If Chen Lie could obtain two Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid before the competition and complete fifteen Blood Tempering, he was confident he could sweep across the entire battlefield without using any blood and qi secret techniques.

"That's great. You must stabilize your cultivation level before the battle begins."

With Chen Lie's extraordinary combat power brought by his special physique, coupled with a Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, Mortal Aperture Stage might actually be able to defeat Earth Aperture Stage.

"I will send you the latest information I've gathered about Sang Ji on Wood Source Planet later. Study your opponent carefully."

After speaking with each of the preliminary contestants, Lei Jinglong said to Ning Fan, "Ning Fan, Yang Jingnian, take your teams and prepare to go to Blue Star Television Station!"

Ning Fan and Yang Jingnian responded one after another.

"Brother Ning, I'm also from the Sword Dao Department. I've dealt with Meng Qingwan from Wood Source Planet before. As far as I know, Meng Qingwan's current level should be the peak of the third level of Martial Artist, ' True Qi Infusion '."

At this moment, Yu Wenqin, who was participating in the battle at the Blood-Qi Stage, came to Ning Fan's side and said.

"It's pretty much what I expected. The students in the Sword Dao Department are all tough to deal with. After breaking through to the fifth level of the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, they can also control their swords with True Qi qi."

"In team battles, one can fly on a sword, gaining a sky advantage and being invincible from the start. Fortunately, the Permanent Council Star Contest wasn't delayed by a year or two, otherwise the team battle would have been a certain defeat," Ning Fan said calmly.

Yu Wenqin smiled and said, "So what if it's a year later? Brother Ning will still be able to break through to the fifth level by then. Do you think he'll be afraid of Meng Qingwan?"

"In individual battles, I am naturally fearless, but in group battles, a fifth-tier Sword Cultivator who can dominate the sky is like a fifth-tier flying Exotic Beast on the Northwest Frontline, which even Grandmaster cannot defeat."

"I'm afraid we'll already be half-defeated before the battle even begins!" Ning Fan said.

"Let's not talk about that. When I came back today, I heard that Blue Star University has produced an extraordinary person. He comes from a poor province and has only been in Blue Star University for a few months, yet his Blood Qi Ranking has already surpassed the Martial Leader of the Jingji and Longhai provinces?"

"Yes, there is a student named Chen Lie who is very powerful. It is said that he also has a special physique and is extremely strong in combat."

I heard that he recently broke through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi, but his strength has already reached the Earth Aperture Stage stage.

"Oh? He just broke through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi Mortal Aperture Stage his strength has already reached the Earth Aperture level? His combat power is so strong?" Ning Fan was slightly surprised. Such outrageous combat power is rare even Outer Stars.

"It's just due to a special physique!" Yu Wenqin said.

"Special physical constitution is also part of talent."

"This special physique that can enhance combat power is generally only effective in the Blood-Qi Stage. Once you reach the Martial Artist, you will become just another ordinary person. Moreover, I heard that this person named Chen Lie only has a seven-star True Qi Affinity measured at Starry Sky University."

"With the Seven Stars' affinity for True Qi, by then everyone in his cohort will have reached the Eighth-Stage Innate Embryonic-Breath Realm, while he probably won't even have cultivated Body-Protecting Qi yet."

"Seven-Star True Qi Affinity?"

Ning Fan was stunned. This level of True Qi affinity was not very strong, roughly equivalent to the level of the Genius Training Camp in various provinces of Blue Star. It was hard to imagine that someone in the top ten of the Blood Qi Ranking would have such low True Qi affinity.

Meanwhile, at Yang Jingnian's call, those preparing for the Blood-Qi Stage of the competition flocked to Blue Star Television Station.

The plaza of Blue Star Television Station is a large square that can accommodate more than 100,000 people, and it is often the site of global-scale martial arts competitions.

The square was almost overflowing with people. A large portion of them were students from Blue Star University, while the rest of the audience consisted of specially invited guests from the provinces where the contestants for the Permanent Councilor Star Competition were located. Each province had two to three hundred people, including specially invited guests from more than twenty provinces such as Lanjing, Jingji, Longhai, Lingnan, East Zhejiang, South River, and East River Province, as well as celebrities from all walks of life.

Above the square, a ring of photography equipment was set up.

In the center of the square, there is a huge stage equipped with a 3D holographic projector that can project the people on the stage in real time, making them indistinguishable from real people.

At this moment, a dignified and elegant woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, walked onto the stage.

"Hello everyone, I'm Li Yixian, the host from Blue Star Television Station. This is the Blue Star Young Heroes Public Forum, which will start promptly at 10:00 AM and will be broadcast live globally."

"There are 89 provinces in the world, and each province has Martial Leader and members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group. However, for some reason, the identities of the Martial Leader of the top three provinces on Blue Star have always been very mysterious and unknown to the public."

Blue Star University is a gathering place for martial arts geniuses from all over the world, and the outstanding ones will be promoted to Starry Sky University.

Today at this public event, we will unveil the mysteries of the most outstanding martial artists on Blue Star. Global audiences, please prepare yourselves and hold your breath.

After the beautiful host from Blue Star Television General Station finished speaking, the 100,000 audience members below the stage immediately erupted in cheers.

"These are the most powerful martial arts geniuses on Blue Star. The authorities have always been extremely secretive about them, not revealing a single thing. Why would they be willing to hold a meeting to announce it publicly today?"

"I know that. It seems the Blue Star army wiped out the dark forces that assassinated geniuses, which is why they revealed the identities of these top geniuses!"

"That's right. We were so vigilant before because we were afraid of assassination. Now we're making it public because the risk of assassination is gone, so we've chosen to go public!"

Near the front of the stage in the square, there were special guests from twenty-three provinces, with five provinces seated in the first row: Lanjing, Beijing- Jingji -Longhai, Yunnan, and East River Province.

The next row consists of provinces that are among the top ten on the Blue Star, including Lingnan, East Zhejiang, South River, East Su, and Jinhai.

The last two rows are for people from other provinces.

At this moment, guests from the provinces in the back row looked at those in the front row, and one of them complained, "This is outrageous! Our ' Shenzhou Province ' is one of the top ten martial arts provinces on Blue Star, so how come we've been assigned to the very last row among all the invited guests?"

"These seats were assigned in advance by staff from Blue Star Television Station; they weren't randomly assigned, were they?"

"I want to know, why are Westcloud Province and East River Province sitting in the first row, just like the top three provinces of Lanjing, Longhai, and Jingji on Blue Star?"

I won't say much about Westcloud Province; at least it was in the top 20 of the global Martial Arts Index a couple Blue Star years ago. But this East River Province, I checked online, and it's in the bottom 20 of the Blue Star. Out of so many people, there isn't even a single person at the Qi Blood-Qi Extreme Realm. What right do they have to sit in the top tier?"

The conversation between the two guests from Shenzhou Province at the back of the row ignited public opinion. Almost everyone from the five provinces other than the first row questioned what merit East River Province and Westcloud Province had and why they deserved to sit in the first row.

The waves of criticism made the teenagers in the guesthouse in East River Province feel extremely uneasy.

The person in the very Lanjing, a member of the Lanjing Genius Group, glanced disdainfully at the East River Province beside him and slowly spoke.

"What kind of hellhole is this East River Province? Out of so many people, there isn't even a single person at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm."

A girl from Lanjing standing nearby laughed and chimed in, "Isn't it normal for martial arts to be lagging behind in such an impoverished province?"

Hundreds of years ago, this would have been considered a barbaric land without any special advantages!

"How did these country bumpkins from barbarian lands manage to infiltrate our ranks?"

The members of the Lanjing Genius Group raised their hands and called over the staff maintaining order at Blue Star Television Station.

A staff member approached and asked, "Hello, how can I help you?"

"I'd like to ask, did you arrange them in the wrong places, or were the places randomly assigned? Why were these people grouped with those from Lanjing, the Jingji, and the three provinces of Longhai? Could you please move them to another place?"

"Excuse me, student, the seating arrangement was based on the rankings of the martial arts geniuses announced at this public meeting, and cannot be easily changed."

The member of the Lanjing Genius Group was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean? Does this mean there's someone from East River Province studying at Blue Star University whose martial arts skills are on par with our Lanjing Martial Leader?"

"Generally speaking, that's how it is!"

The member of the Lanjing Genius Group turned pale instantly, waved his hand, and said, "Alright, I'm fine! You can go now!"

"Okay, call me if you have any questions!"

After saying that, the staff member left immediately.

All the guests at Lanjing fell silent.

Among the specially invited guests at Lanjing, one girl said to another, "Cai Ying, did you hear that? Someone from East River Province is actually on the same level as our Martial Leader Jiang Yuan at Blue Star University!"

"I heard that! It's amazing that such a backward province East River Province could produce such a talented person! It's truly a miracle!"

"No wonder East River Province can stand shoulder to shoulder with our Lanjing; now I know why."

The girl nodded. She was Xu Caiying, a student from the Lanjing Genius Training Camp who had been specially invited here.

"Just look at the martial arts level in East River Province. There isn't a single person at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm. The martial arts environment here is not just harsh, it's a miracle among miracles!"

Xu Caiying looked at the stage and said, "Yu Xian, do you think Jiang Yuan will be the first to perform later?"

"It doesn't matter, Jiang Yuan is definitely the best, he might even be the last one to appear."

Xu Caiying hummed in agreement.

Within the East River Province seat area, several members of the new generation of East River Provincial Genius Group and Genius Training Camp students heard the discussions from the provinces behind them and were all restless.

"Instructor, were we invited here really because of Chen Lie, the previous Martial Leader and the Three-Province Martial Champion?"

A middle-aged man nodded. "There's no mistake!"

"The Martial Arts Student here are all incredibly skilled, with a huge number at the Blood-Qi Extreme Realm. I can't even imagine how Senior Chen Lie managed to stand out among all these opponents!"

Those around them were also amazed.

Among the guests from East River Province, there was a pretty girl in yellow clothes, about sixteen years old, who was watching the stage intently.

Her name is Zhu Yining. Under the guidance of Chen Lie's Ordinary Class teacher, she received martial arts instruction from Chen Lie Chen Lie also received one million Star Dollar from him.

After receiving a donation of one million Star Dollar from Chen Lie, she was overwhelmed with gratitude and only wanted to repay him many times over someday.

During this period, she practiced martial arts diligently. With the help of one million Star Dollar, she overcame the most difficult stage and has now joined the East River Province Genius Training Camp, having gone from single-digit Blood Qi Value.

She never forgot that she had accepted one million Star Dollar from her senior, and that she would repay him with a rare Martial Dao Rare Treasure in the future.

"I wonder if you still remember me, senior..."

Zhu Yining murmured, but regardless of whether she remembered him or not, she should be grateful.

Originally, she was unwilling to come to Lanjing to attend any meeting; she would rather practice martial arts than waste that time. However, when she heard from the instructors at the Genius Training Camp that the main character of the meeting was her beloved senior, she immediately changed her mind and came to Lanjing with her classmates.
