Whether we're worthy-take it up with our Martial Leader

Time quickly reached ten o'clock.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage in the middle of the Blue Star Television Station square changed, and the stage instantly became brightly lit.

Li Zhuxian, the host from Lanjing Television Station, returned to the stage.

"Hello everyone, viewers from all over the world. I am Li Zhuxian, the host of this conference, from Blue Star Television General Station."

"The public meeting is about to begin, and before it starts, I would like to explain to our audience around the world the reasons for holding this public meeting."

"As we all know, Blue Star ventured into interstellar space over a hundred years ago. Beyond Blue Star, there are many habitable planets, and the Interstellar Relations between these planets are unpredictable and complex."

"Although Blue Star is only a planet that has been exploring interstellar travel for a little over a hundred years, it is now facing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: to join the Interstellar Alliance!"

The Interstellar Alliance is an organization composed of the most powerful planets in a star field. It can influence the entire star field's trajectory. If Blue Star could join this Interstellar Alliance, its interstellar status would immediately rise above other planets, making it a core planet in the star field.

Li Zhuxian's explanation surprised the audience present and the people of Blue Star watching the live broadcast, with hundreds of millions of messages flooding the screen in just one second.

"But if Blue Star wants to join the Interstellar Alliance and become Permanent Councilor Star of the star system, it needs to compete with a neighboring star called Wood Source Planet."

The Interstellar Alliance organized the competition in three rounds.

The first is the battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist, where each planet selects 12 of the strongest Blood-Qi Stage geniuses to compete.

The second is the battle of True Qi Martial Artist, where each planet selects 10 of its strongest martial arts prodigies under the age of 20 to compete.

The third is the Grandmaster Battle, where each planet selects its strongest Grandmaster Martial Artist under the age of forty to compete.

The competition includes individual battles and team battles. The team with the highest score can join the Interstellar Alliance and become Permanent Councilor Star.

This struggle can be said to concern the fate of Blue Star for hundreds of years to come!

"The people who appeared at this public meeting today are all the top martial arts geniuses in the world of Blue Star."

They are about to participate in the battle for Permanent Councilor Star for the sake of Blue Star's destiny for centuries to come; each and every one of them is a hero of Blue Star!

Li Zhuxian glanced at the miniature Optical Computer in her hand and continued, "I see that the number of people watching the live stream has exceeded two billion."

It's exactly ten o'clock now, time for the public meeting to begin.

Now, please welcome our geniuses under the age of 20 from Blue Star who have already Ranked Martial Artist to the stage! First up, Ning Fan from Westcloud Province!

After Li Zhuxian finished speaking, Ning Fan walked out from backstage.

The audience was astonished.

"Who is this Ning Fan? I have no recollection of him at all."

"Yes, the first person to appear must be the strongest among the top geniuses. I searched for the Martial Leader of the previous three sessions from Lanjing, Longhai, and Jingji, and there was no one Ning Fan!"

"Not only the top three provinces, but Ning Fan is not among the top ten Martial Leader in the capital."

"No wonder Westcloud Province can be ranked alongside Lanjing, Longhai, and Jingji Provinces; it turns out they produced a Mingdao!"

"Wait, is this Ning Fan as powerful as the Lanjing Martial Leader in the same year? How come he's the first to appear?"

As the murmurs from the audience subsided, the beautiful host Li Zhuxian, began her introduction.

"Dear viewers, Ning Fan is a student of Blue Star University Galactic Calendar. He is the number one in both the Qi and Blood and the Apprentice Divine Sense Master fields on Blue Star. Currently, he is cultivating at Starry Sky University and is the number one among the younger generation by Yaoyao."

The neighboring planets of Blue Star call the ten most talented individuals on Blue Star the "Blue Star Ten Elites," and Ning Fan is the first among Blue Star Ten Elites.

After Li Zhuxian finished her introduction, Ning Fan also came onto the stage, and she continued with the Q&A session.

"Ning Fan, I'm Li Zhuxian, a host from Blue Star Television Station."

"Hello, host," Ning Fan replied.

"I saw in your file that you're from Westcloud Province?"

"Yes!"

"Westcloud Province is far less prosperous than the top ten provinces on Blue Star, yet you have become the number one among your peers. It seems that geniuses will not be buried in the end."

You are about to fight for Blue Star, and on behalf of billions of people worldwide, I wish you victory!

After exchanging a few words with Ning Fan in front of the camera, Li Zhuxian moved on to the next person.

"Next, please welcome the next Martial Artist arts genius to the stage. I believe everyone is familiar with him."

He is Chu Luo, the Lanjing Martial Leader in the year 7364 of the Galactic Calendar.

Chu Luo is also the second of the Blue Star Ten Elites!

On the stage, another young man stepped out. This man was none other than Chu Luo, the Lanjing Martial Leader.

"Hello, Chu Luo!" Li Zhuxian waved to Chu Luo.

"Hello, host!" Chu Luo nodded in response.

Li Zhuxian chatted with Chu Luo on stage.

Below the stage, a group of guests from Lanjing expressed their confusion.

"How come our previous Lanjing Martial Leader below this Ning Fan?"

"Yeah, that's ridiculous. I remember every Martial Leader in our Lanjing was the strongest in their class. Where Ning Fan come from? I've never even heard of him!"

"Cai Ying, have you heard of Ning Fan before?"

In the guest seating area of Lanjing, in the seating area for the Genius Training Camp students, Ning Yuxian, a female student next to Xu Caiying, asked Xu Caiying a question.

Xu Caiying shook her head. "Never heard of him. I looked him up online, and the previous champion of Westcloud Province's Martial Leader wasn't named Ning Fan."

"That's really strange. There's actually someone whose achievements in martial arts can rival those of Lanjing Martial Leader."

On the stage, Ning Fan led the way, followed by Chu Luo, Lü Xianchuan, Yu Wenqin, Huo Jinghong, and ten other Martial Artist at the True Qi Stage, who were introduced one after another by the host.

Soon, they will reach the Blood-Qi Stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the ten geniuses who Ranked Martial Artist have all taken the stage. Next, let us welcome with warm applause the geniuses of the ' Blood-Qi Stage,' which is the 7365th year of the Galactic Calendar."

As soon as the host, Li Zhuxian, finished speaking, the audience erupted in cheers.

Compared to the martial arts prodigies of the previous year, this year's prodigies are more familiar and closer to them.

Is Jiang Yuan about to make his appearance?

"I bet the first person to appear later will be Jiang Yuan Lanjing Martial Leader!"

In the audience seats of Blue Star, Xu Caiying looked at the stage with a bright and expectant expression.

"Finally, we'll get to see the true face of the Lanjing Martial Leader. It was worth wasting a day of martial arts training here, don't you think, Yu Xian?"

Ning Yuxian said, "Yes, our Lanjing Martial Leader will definitely be the first to appear later!"

Invited guests from various provinces were discussing their respective province's Martial Leader, and East River Province was no exception.

"Is Senior Chen Lie about to make his appearance? I wonder which number he'll be!"

"In my opinion, we should definitely be in the top three. Among so many provinces, our department is ranked first. Even the top ten martial arts provinces on Blue Star are behind us. This ranking is based on the strength of the geniuses who take the stage!"

"Of course! He's the only Three-Province Martial Champion in East River Province."

At this moment, in the middle of the East River Province seats, some students from the Genius Training Camp asked a middle-aged mentor a question.

"Instructor Hong, I heard you're Professor Chen Lie's mentor in the Elite Class. Was Professor Chen Lie very good in the Elite Class? How did he perform?"

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle is Hong Chengshuo, the Elite Class tutor of Dongchuan Province Key High School.

Upon hearing the mention from his classmates, Hong Chengshuo said, "Chen Lie performed exceptionally well in the Elite Class. Within a month, his Blood Qi Value skyrocketed, going from a freshman in the Elite Class to the top student in the entire school!"

"So amazing? No wonder he's the only Three-Province Martial Champion East River Province!" exclaimed a student from the Genius Training Camp.

"By the way, I heard that Senior Chen Lie joined the Elite Class as an instructor in his senior year of high school. The Martial Artist Association said that you were Senior Chen Lie's instructor in the Ordinary Class."

So, how did Chen Lie perform in the Ordinary Class? Why did he join the Elite Class so late?

The students from the East River Province Genius Training Camp then turned to ask the middle-aged man next to Hong Chengshuo. This man was none other than Ren Hongguang, Chen Lie's senior year tutor.

Since Chen Lie famous, from being the top martial arts East River Martial Champion to the Three-Province Martial Champion, and then recently securing three times the usual amount of martial arts resources for East River Province, the Martial Artist Association has ordered the erection of statues of Chen Lie in all major Martial Arts High School in the province.

Chen Lie's fame brought Ren Hongguang's martial arts instructor career to a peak.

Because Chen Lie is now a well-known martial arts star in Dongchuan Province, and even in the three central provinces of Sichuan, and Ren Hongguang is Chen Lie's tutor in the regular class. Compared to the tutors in the elite class, the trainees in the genius training camp, and even the famous teachers of the provincial youth genius group, he has taught Chen Lie for a longer period of time.

Martial Arts Student from within the province who applied for the Martial Arts Department were frantically transferring to Dongchuan Province Key High School. Every Martial Arts Student who transferred there requested to join the class led by Ren Hongguang.

Not only in East River Province, but also in West River Province and Cloud River Province, many powerful and influential families are sending their children to classes led by Ren Hongguang.

This resulted in Ren Hongguang's class being overcrowded. While a Ordinary Class usually has only forty or fifty students, his class had reached three hundred students a month ago.

Upon seeing this, the school established strict regulations and publicly announced that the class led by Ren Hongguang, the tutor of Chen Lie, the martial arts champion from the three provinces, was already overcrowded, urging the three provinces in Sichuan not to transfer any more students, as there would be no room in the class even if they did.

The school's orders can effectively stop ordinary families, but there are quite a few powerful families in Chuanzhong Province. They don't care about the regulations of Dongchuan Province Key High School. After contacting the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association, they directly force their children into Ren Hongguang's class.

Before being specially invited by Blue Star Television Station, Ren Hongguang's class already had nearly 400 Martial Arts Student students.

Many powerful and influential families meticulously craft pathways for their children, from the Ordinary Class led by mentor Ren Hongguang, to the Elite Class, and then to the class of Elite Class Hong Chengshuo, completely replicating Chen Lie's path, hoping that their children can be like Chen Lie.

Ren Hongguang slowly replied, "In the first semester of his senior year, Chen Lie's martial arts skills seemed unremarkable, even ranking near the bottom of the class."

"Senior Chen Lie is at the bottom? How is that possible?"

The trainees from the nearby Genius Training Camp didn't believe it, and even the small number of members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group expressed their doubts.

"Chen Lie was in the same situation back then, and I also found it strange. Now that I think about it, I have a possibility. Perhaps Chen Lie's body is different from ordinary people. At the end of the first semester of his senior year, his muscles and bones were fully developed, and then his martial arts talent exploded, and he soared to the sky!" Ren Hongguang said.

"So that's how it is. I knew Senior Chen Lie wasn't an ordinary person. He might be Wuqu Star Incarnate, who suddenly awakened his past life's wisdom."

"Professor Ren, please take a look. Among us, is there anyone like Senior Chen Lie who has the potential to soar to great heights?"

As soon as one of the Genius Training Camp members asked the question, everyone around instinctively moved closer, even a few members of the East River Provincial Genius Group turned slightly to the side.

Ren Hongguang looked around at the group and said, "I can't judge that. I don't have the eyesight, and I've never seen any of you before."

However, there was one person present who looked very similar to Chen Lie.

Upon hearing this, everyone asked, "Who is it?"

"It's her, Zhu Yining!"

Ren Hongguang pointed to Zhu Yining, dressed in yellow, in the middle of the crowd.

Everyone looked at Zhu Yining, and even Zhu Yining was taken aback.

"Professor Ren, please don't joke around. How can I compare to Senior Chen Lie?"

"No mistake. It hasn't been long, and you've already gone from the Ordinary Class to the Genius Training Camp. If you work a little harder, you can join the East River Provincial Genius Group and become the Martial Leader of the Class of 7366 of the Galactic Calendar, or even the Three-Province Martial Champion. It's not impossible."

"Chen Lie, at your stage, you probably never imagined you would achieve such great results," Ren Hongguang said.

Zhu Yining was somewhat at a loss. She actually wanted to catch up with her senior, but her mentor's words made her harbor some improper thoughts about becoming the Three-Province Martial Champion.

On stage, the beautiful host Li Zhuxian held a microphone and smiled at the camera, "Next, please welcome Yang Jingnian, the first participant in the Blood-Qi Stage, third on the Blood Qi Ranking, and third on the Divine Sense Master Ranking!"

As soon as Li Zhuxian finished speaking, Yang Jingnian went on stage.

Upon seeing Yang Jingnian come on stage, Li Zhuxian waved and said, "Hello, Yang Jingnian!"

"Hello!" Yang Jingnian nodded.

"Dear viewers, Yang Jingnian is the third outstanding student of the tenth rank on our Blue Star. He is a student who is between the 7364th and 7365th rank in the Galactic Calendar."

The fact that Jiang Yuan wasn't the first person from Lanjing High School to appear in the Blood-Qi Stage, despite being a special guest of Lanjing, was quite unacceptable to Lan Jing.

"What's going on? The first person to step onto the stage at the Blood-Qi Stage isn't Jiang Yuan?"

"Who is Yang Jingnian? Third on the Blood Qi Ranking? Is he as powerful as Jiang Yuan?"

"Didn't everyone hear the introduction? This Yang Jingnian seems to be from the class of '7364,' one year ahead of our Lanjing Martial Leader. That's probably why he's the first to appear!"

On stage, host Li Zhuxian began her conversation with Yang Jingnian.

But after only two or three sentences, she realized that Yang Jingnian didn't seem very willing to talk, so she started to let the next person go on stage.

"Please welcome the next genius at the Blood-Qi Stage to the stage."

"Everyone must have heard of this genius. He is Jiang Yuan, the Martial Leader of Lanjing Province, the number one martial arts province on Galactic Calendar Blue Star year of the Galactic Calendar!"

Please give a round of applause!

As soon as Li Zhuxian finished speaking, Jiang Yuan walked onto the stage from below.

Upon seeing the Jiang Yuan, the entire square erupted in deafening applause.

"Jiang Yuan! It's Jiang Yuan!"

"I knew Jiang Yuan would be the first one to go on stage. Wang Jingnian doesn't count; he's a year ahead of Jiang Yuan!"

Among the seats in Lanjing, many young men and women were excited when they saw Jiang Yuan appear.

"Cai Ying, look! Jiang Yuan has taken the stage!"

"Yes, I saw it! It's my idol! I've only ever heard of him, but I finally saw him in person this afternoon!" Xu Caiying's eyes lit up.

"Do you think if we practice martial arts diligently, we might be able to catch up with him in the future?"

"It's hard to say. Jiang Yuan's talent is unmatched. No matter how hard you try, you might not improve as fast as him. How can you catch up?"

"Yes, I did the math. Only 22 people can go on stage today. Out of billions of people on Blue Star, only this many have been selected. It's really difficult to catch up!"

"I wonder which province will be the next to take office."

"Is there even a question? It's either the Martial Leader of Jingji Province or the Martial Leader of Longhai Province. Who else could it be?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, Jiang Yuan is the sixth of the Lanjing Martial Leader Blue Star Ten Elites. I believe you all know him well, so I don't need to introduce him."

Li Zhuxian looked at Jiang Yuan and greeted him, "Hello, Jiang Yuan. I'm a host from Blue Star Television Station. This isn't the first time we've met."

I interviewed you several times before you even entered Blue Star University. I wonder if you still remember?

Jiang Yuan said, "Of course I remember, hello host!"

Li Zhuxian smiled and said, "Many of the guests from Lanjing in the audience today are your fans, and even my cousin is in the audience; she's your fan too."

"You are about to represent Lanjing in the quest for Permanent Councilor Star. On behalf of all those who idolize you, I wish you a victorious return and to bring glory to Blue Star."

"Thanks!"

Li Zhuxian and Jiang Yuan chatted for quite a long time, twice as long as the previous few people. Realizing that they had gone a bit overtime, she asked Jiang Yuan to wait on the side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next up on stage is a surprising genius."

Of course, in some provinces where martial arts are flourishing, this genius is considered an underdog, but in East River Province, and even in the Three Provinces of Chuanzhong, he is definitely a popular genius."

"Next, let's welcome with applause Chen Lie from East River Province, the martial arts genius of the Three Rivers region, hailed as the Wuqu Star Incarnate and ranked seventh on the Blood Qi Ranking!"

As soon as Li Zhuxian finished speaking, a murmur rippled through the audience, but the applause from the special guests from East River Province at the very front of the stage was particularly loud compared to the other audience members.

"Wow, it's our East River Province! Senior Chen Lie is about to make his appearance!"

"Wow, Chen Lie's appearance order is only after Lanjing Martial Leader's. No wonder Blue Star Television Station arranged a seat for us at the very front."

"Yes, just now someone from Jingji Province said we weren't worthy to sit here. If you think we're unworthy, go and talk to our Martial Leader."

Although our East River Province is somewhat impoverished, we can't stop Martial Leader from being so capable. He may not be superior to those from other provinces. If anyone is unworthy, it's not that we are unworthy!

Amidst enthusiastic applause from the front row seats of East River Province, Chen Lie also walked onto the stage.

"Hello, Chen Lie!"

When host Li Zhuxian saw Chen Lie come on stage, Chen Lie immediately waved to him.
