The final winner, Chen Lie!

Chen Lie approached the host, Li Zhuxian, and nodded, saying, "Hello, host."

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chen Lie, the seventh of the newly crowned Blue Star Ten Elites, from East River Province. He is the Martial Leader of East River Province in 197365, Region-Level Genius the Three Rivers region in 197365, the Three-Province Martial Champion."

After Li Zhuxian finished speaking into the microphone, a commotion erupted in the audience.

"What's going on? East River Province? I remember East River Province is a province where martial arts are very backward, right?"

"That's right, East River Province ranks among the bottom 20 in Martial Arts Index. A few years ago, there wasn't a single Blood-Qi Extreme Realm among its group of genius members."

"Wow, how can such a talent emerge from such an impoverished province? They're both from the class of '7365,' and among their peers, he seems to be second only to the Lanjing Martial Leader. Considering the time, he's only been at Blue Star University for less than half a year. How can his martial arts have progressed so quickly?"

"Is he even better than the Martial Leader from the Jingji and Longhai provinces? No wonder the guests from East River Province are sitting in the first row."

The fact that Lanjing's guests were seated in a position of honor struck many of Lanjing Genius Group members and Genius Training Camp students as incredible.

Xu Caiying, who was seated in Lanjing, was stunned when she saw Chen Lie's face.

Isn't that the boy next door on stage?

He's actually a top genius on Blue Star, second only to Jiang Yuan, the Lanjing Martial Leader Arts?

He ranked second in his class? Was he really that good?

Everyone who stands on this stage today is a top genius on Blue Star, one in a billion, let alone the second-best in his class from 7365?

Being the seventh of the Blue Star Ten Elites speaks volumes.

Xu Caiying felt a mix of emotions. She had repeatedly refused the other party's guidance in martial arts, even though the other party had already agreed to teach her.

Thinking back to how she acted aloof and evasive yesterday, Xu Caiying felt an urge to slap herself.

The fact that the world's second-best genius in his class has agreed to guide you in martial arts is something many people would kill for.

She cursed herself inwardly: Xu Caiying, you really don't know what's good for you!

"Cai Ying, I think I've seen this Chen Lie, the seventh of the Blue Star Ten Elites, before!" Ning Yuxian, who was next to Xu Caiying, said.

Xu Caiying was taken aback. "You've seen him before? I remember your house is quite far from the Heavenly Fortune True Martial Villa District, right? How did you manage to see him?"

"What does this have to do with where I live?"

Ning Yuxian said curiously, "I met him at the Lanjing Divine Sense Master Association when I was taking the Divine Sense Master Divine Sense Master exam. He was taking the exam with me."

I remember his assessment results were outstanding; it seems they even caught the attention of the leaders of the Divine Sense Master Association!

"Is he Divine Sense Master?"

"Yes, he's an incredibly powerful Divine Sense Master. I almost added him as a friend on his Green Bubble account!" Ning Yuxian said.

"Oh, is that so..."

Xu Caiying nodded casually, her heart gradually calming down. It seemed that her friend did not know that Chen Lie, who was second in the same year, lived in the Heavenly Fortune True Martial Villa District and was her neighbor.

On stage, the beautiful host Li Zhuxian, smiled as she held a microphone and faced Chen Lie.

"Chen Lie, after reviewing your information, I have to admire your talent. Your province is relatively underdeveloped in martial arts, and your family background is not particularly wealthy, yet you have managed to surpass countless peers."

The major official media outlets in East River Province have praised you as the Wuqu Star Incarnate in numerous reports, and it seems there's some truth to that."

"You flatter me!"

"There are many guests from East River Province in the audience, including your former teachers, your juniors from East River Province, and the rising stars of East River Province."

Your achievements in martial arts are now beyond the reach of countless people.

In such a short time, you've gone from an ordinary Martial Arts Student to one of the Blue Star Ten Elites. Could you share your martial arts journey with the audience?

Chen Lie did not refuse the host Li Zhuxian's request and began speaking to the camera.

Soon, Chen Lie finished the interview and came to Jiang Yuan's side.

After introducing Chen Lie, the beautiful host Li Zhuxian continued, "Viewers, let's welcome the next genius, Zhou Yu from Longhai Province, who is ranked eighth on the Blood Qi Ranking. She is also someone who falls between the 7364th and 7365th sessions of the Galactic Calendar."

Similarly, he is the eighth of the Blue Star Ten Elites!

As enthusiastic applause rang out again from the audience, a beautiful girl with a graceful figure walked up from below the stage.

"Hello, Zhou Yu!"

"Hello, host!" Zhou Yu responded softly.

"Zhou Yu, you are one of the few girls among the Ten Outstanding Blue Star Ten Elites. May I ask you a few questions?"

"OK!"

Li Zhuxian first asked Zhou Yu a few questions, and then introduced Zhou Yu to the camera.

Soon, Zhou Yu's interview and introduction were completed.

Next, Kang Quanlin, Zuo Yuan'er, and Hao Yulong took to the stage one after another, until finally Han Keke, the genius, finished her introduction.

A total of twenty-five top martial arts geniuses stood on the stage, representing both the True Qi Stage and the Blood-Qi Stage.

Because of the importance of the Permanent Council Star Contest, all Blue Star officials have prepared reserve candidates for the Blood-Qi Stage, the True Qi Stage, and even the Grandmaster. In case of any accidents involving the official candidates, the reserve candidates can take their place.

"Viewers in front of the screen, the young talents who will represent Blue Star in the Permanent Council Star Contest have all come to the stage. After the introductions just now, you should all know these people."

As for the Grandmaster Martial Artist participated, they did not wish to show their faces, so they did not meet the audience!

"These people on stage are fighting for the future of Blue Star for hundreds, even thousands of years. Let all of us in the audience wish them a resounding victory, a triumphant return, bringing glory to Blue Star and securing benefits for every martial artist on Blue Star in the future!"

After Li Zhuxian finished speaking passionately, a burst of slogans erupted from the audience, with 100,000 people shouting in unison.

"A triumphant start, a victorious return!"

"A triumphant start, a victorious return!"

Meanwhile, the number of people watching the live broadcast on Blue Star Television Station was approaching three billion, and every second, more than a billion messages of "victory and triumphant return" flooded the screen.

It took a while for the atmosphere to gradually cool down.

Host Li Zhuxian approached the group of Permanent Councilor Star Competition and said, "Dear students, I have some news to tell you: the number of people on Earth watching this Blue Star broadcast has exceeded three billion."

Within five minutes, these three billion people posted a staggering 50 billion messages on social media, all wishing for a "victorious start and a triumphant return."

You went there carrying the faith of the people of Blue Star, and you will surely be recorded in Blue Star's history and go down in history.

"Before the public meeting, His Excellency the Administrator of Blue Star specially arranged a little game for you to help you present yourselves to the audience on stage."

"We have received a notification from the Martial Artist Association that Blue Star currently has twenty spots available for exchange and study at Glimmer Star, one of the Ten-Star Alliance, for a period of two months."

These twenty spots are not intended to be directly allocated to students of Blue Star University; the decision is yours!

"Here, let me first explain to the audience that Glimmer Star is a planet Outer Stars martial arts flourish, and its martial arts level is thousands of years ahead of the Blue Star."

"Being able to go to the Glimmer Star to exchange and learn, and absorb Martial Arts Knowledge from Outer Stars, is an incredible opportunity for any Martial Arts Student."

After Li Zhuxian finished speaking, the specially invited guests from various provinces all held their breath.

"Did I hear that right? Go to Outer Stars to learn martial arts? And for two months?"

"If I could get the opportunity to study Outer Stars, wouldn't my martial arts skills improve by leaps and bounds?"

In the first row, the specially invited guests from the top three provinces of Blue Star couldn't sit still any longer.

In East River Province, a newly joined member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group asked, "A chance to learn martial arts Outer Stars? That's a rare opportunity, isn't it?"

"Of course it's rare! You can tell by how enthusiastic the people from Lanjing are!"

On stage, Li Zhuxian smiled at the group of martial arts geniuses and said, "The rules of our game are very simple. In a moment, our staff will throw a colored ball onto the stage."

Everyone stood in order of strength from weakest and distance from closest to furthest, vying for the colored ball.

In this way, no one will benefit.

Those who successfully grab the colored ball will receive ten Offworld Exchange Study. The Blue Star treasury is willing to allocate one million Star-Origin Galactic Coins to cover the expenses of these twenty people in Outer Stars, which will be distributed among them, amounting to 50,000 Star-Origin Galactic Coins per person.

If any of you manage to snatch the colored ball, you can designate the spot to the children of your respective relatives or friends so that they can participate in this Outer Stars martial arts exchange. Alternatively, you can give it to the Martial Artist Association of your province to cultivate the rising stars of your respective province.

The rules are simple and easy to understand, everyone understands now?

"Clear!"

More than twenty people nodded in agreement.

"Alright, look at the stage floor. There are designated spots marked out by the staff, and each spot has a name on it. Go to the spot with your name on it, and the game is about to begin!"

After Li Zhuxian finished speaking, the group of people went to their respective positions.

Chen Lie glanced at the list and found that his name was third to last, followed by Jiang Yuan, who was second to last, and Zhou Yu, who was fourth to last.

Yang Jingnian ranked last.

On the other side of the stage, Ning Fan was last, and Chu Luo was second to last.

The stronger the player, the further back they are positioned. This pre-defined positioning prevents stronger players from gaining an advantage and may even cause them to suffer some losses, thus maintaining the fairness of the game.

As soon as Chen Lie arrived at the third-to-last position, Li Zhuxian, who was in the middle, spoke up.

"Everyone is back in their places now. Let me explain the rules of the game."

In a moment, our staff will throw two colorful balls onto the stage, one for Qi-type Martial Artist to grab and the other for True Qi Martial Artist to grab.

The person who gets the colored ball must protect it for twenty seconds. If it is not taken away after twenty seconds, then the colored ball is theirs.

The person who wins the colored ball can designate any ten people to go to Outer Stars for a two-month martial arts exchange and learning program.

"Everyone get ready, the game is about to begin!"

After Li Zhuxian finished speaking, she immediately hid to the side.

Chen Lie was standing in the third-to-last position when he saw two staff members carrying a large colorful balloon each as they approached the front of the stage.

At that moment, a whistle blew on the stage, and two staff members simultaneously threw colorful balls onto the stage.

Upon seeing this, Chen Lie suddenly flashed forward and rushed towards the colorful ball at lightning speed.

Ahead, Han Keke, Zheng Shuwen, Shao Keyu, and others below the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi were directly scattered by Hao Yulong and Zuo Yuan'er. As soon as the game started, all of them below the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi lost their eligibility to compete.

Hao Yulong was at the forefront, moving with lightning speed, and grabbed the colorful ball directly into his hand.

Not to be outdone, Zuo Yuan'er behind him unleashed a powerful palm strike.

A sky full of crimson rainbow light unfolded, illuminating the entire stage in red.

Zuo Yuan'er struck with her palm, sending Hao Yulong flying back dozens of steps, before grabbing the colorful ball into her own hand.

Just as Zuo Yuan'er grabbed the colored ball, Kang Quanlin and Zhou Yu came up in front of her.

"Air-Splitting Hurricane Leg!"

Seeing Kang Quanlin make the first move to snatch it, Zuo Yuan'er immediately unleashed her three S-level leg techniques, and in an instant, half the stage was filled with Zuo Yuan'er's leg shadows.

"Boom!"

Kang Quanlin was knocked back by a kick, and Zhou Yu rushed up from behind.

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhou Yu unleashed both palms simultaneously, and the crimson rainbow light instantly pressed down on Zuo Yuan'er. Zuo Yuan'er was not to be outdone, protecting the colorful ball with one hand as she fought and retreated.

If Zhou Yu cannot snatch the colored ball from her hand within twenty seconds, she will win the game. Zuo Yuan'er knows that Zhou Yu does not have the strength to overwhelm her in a short time.

Zuo Yuan'er had a very clever plan, but she didn't take the other participants in the game into consideration.

At this moment, Chen Lie had arrived within arm's reach of the battle between Zuo Yuan'er and Zhou Yu.

He threw a punch, and with a "boom," the scorching golden energy directly separated Zuo Yuan'er and Zhou Yu from their battle.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lie focused all his attacks on Zuo Yuan'er.

He kept waving his palms, and golden blood and energy instantly formed a golden waterfall. The powerful palm force landed on Zuo Yuan'er Zuo Yuan'er, making it difficult for her to defend herself.

On the stage, a deafening roar echoed in all directions.

"Damn it, that damned Chen Lie, why has his strength improved so quickly?"

In their last encounter, he could only win by relying on his physical strength to wear down his opponent's stamina. How could he have overwhelmed me head-on and in such a short time after such a short period of time?

Zuo Yuan'er gritted her teeth, and under Chen Lie's repeated attacks, she finally could not endure Chen Lie's assault. In her disarray, the colorful ball in her hand was snatched away by Chen Lie.

Just as Chen Lie caught the colorful ball, Jiang Yuan, who was right behind him, rushed up.

"Hand over the colored balls!" Jiang Yuan's voice preceded his arrival.

Chen Lie sneered, "If you've got the guts, come and rob me. What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight?"

"Good!"

Jiang Yuan wasn't angry; his blood and energy exploded completely.

He unleashed a powerful set of punches, and a surge of immense force slammed into Chen Lie.

Chen Lie circulated his qi and blood, and the golden qi and blood surged ten feet into the sky like a golden ocean, clashing with Jiang Yuan in battle.

"Boom boom boom!"

The collision of two powerful forces created a tremendous sound that impacted the eardrums of the guests seated below the stage.

"Frenzied Flame Palm!"

Jiang Yuan's qi and blood surged, and he unleashed a set of ferocious palm techniques, striking Chen Lie hundreds of times in an instant.

Faced with such formidable martial arts, Chen Lie fought and retreated simultaneously, avoiding its sharp edge.

At the same time, he circulated his qi and blood, and with a wave of his hand, a golden dragon surged from his palm, blocking Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan shattered the Golden Flood Dragon with a single palm strike, then caught up again and engaged Chen Lie in close combat.

"Boom boom boom!"

As fists, palms, legs, and feet collided, the air on the stage continuously exploded, like bombs exploding.

In less than two breaths, Jiang Yuan had already exchanged thirty or forty blows with Chen Lie head-on.

He was shocked: 'What kind of special physique is this? His body is so strong! I just entered the Mortal Aperture Stage, and I can't even suppress him for a short time?'

This fighting power is ridiculously strong.

At this moment, Yang Jingnian, who was in last place, also arrived.

Seeing Jiang Yuan directly confronting Chen Lie, Yang Jingnian frowned. He hadn't expected Chen Lie to have such strength, being able to hold his own against Jiang Yuan in such a short time.

He knew that Chen Lie had held the colored ball for almost 20 seconds, so he threw a full-force punch at Chen Lie.

"Boom!"

A massive force, mixed with the light of a blood rainbow, surged towards Chen Lie.

Seeing this, Chen Lie's qi and blood solidified, forming a protective shield in front of him. When Yang Jingnian's fist pressed down, the protective shield shattered instantly, and a shock came.

Chen Lie took a few steps back and threw a full-force punch at Yang Jingnian.

With a "boom," a golden blood dragon, hundreds of meters long, rushed towards Yang Jingnian in an instant.

Yang Jingnian unleashed his Blood Rainbow Light, instantly shattering the Golden Flood Dragon formed from Chen Lie's solidified blood and qi.

"It's too late!"

Seeing that Chen Lie was about to seize the colored ball and hold it for twenty seconds, Yang Jingnian mobilized all his Mental Power and launched a Mental Power Impact on Chen Lie.

"Boom!"

After the Mental Power Impact was released, Yang Jingnian found that it was like a clay ox sinking into the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

"How is this possible? He's immune to Mental Power attacks?"

Yang Jingnian was incredulous. What kind of special physique was so powerful? Not only did it greatly increase combat strength, but it could also be immune to Mental Power attacks?

Seeing that his Mental Power attack was ineffective, Yang Jingnian charged forward again.

At that moment, a notification sound rang out on the stage.

" In the Blood-Qi Martial Artist Game, Chen Lie, ranked seventh on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking, occupied the colored ball for twenty seconds, and the game is over."

The winner of the colored ball is Chen Lie!

Yang Jingnian and Jiang Yuan, who were about to make another attempt to seize it, had no choice but to give up after hearing this voice.

The two looked at Chen Lie intently, gaining a new understanding of Chen Lie unique physique.

"Congratulations to Chen Lie, the seventh of the Ten Heroes of Blue Star Ten Elites, for becoming the ultimate winner of this game."

Later, you can designate any ten people to travel to Outer Stars for a two-month martial arts exchange.

This result left the audience speechless.

"What a wonderful competition! Although it only lasted two or three minutes, it showcased the brilliance of the world's top geniuses!"

"Is this the power that can be unleashed at the Blood-Qi Stage? I think even an ordinary Tier 4 Martial Artist can't compare."

"This Chen Lie is quite something. In the last few seconds, he held his own against Jiang Yuan, the Lanjing Martial Leader, and Yang Jingnian, who seemed to be the third strongest among the Blue Star Ten Elites."

"Yes, this person's strength should not be underestimated!"

Compared to the discussions of the other audience members, the guests from East River Province seemed particularly excited.

"Our Martial Leader this year is amazing! Even though the Lanjing Martial Leader was giving it his all, he still couldn't snatch the colored ball!"

"Senior Chen Lie is awesome!"

"It's more than just awesome! In the last few seconds, Senior Chen was clearly fighting two opponents at once; even the two of them combined couldn't defeat Senior Chen."

Among the guests from East River Province, Zhu Yining's face lit up with excitement when she saw Chen Lie.

Compared to East River Province, the guests from Lanjing Province next to them seemed rather downcast.

"Jiang Yuan is so skilled, how come he failed this time?"

"Yeah, a full twenty seconds and we still couldn't get our hands on the colored ball, that shouldn't be happening!"

"I've watched videos of Jiang Yuan's past matches, and he always defeated his opponents very easily. Is it because Chen Lie is just too strong?"

But someone from East River Province, that doesn't make sense!

Xu Caiying, seated in Lanjing's seat, watched the earlier struggle in silence for a long time.

Anyone with eyes can see that Chen Lie is on the same level as Jiang Yuan, with little difference between them, which is why Jiang Yuan cannot suppress him in a short time.

Surely some members of the Lanjing Genius Group could see this, but none of them wanted to believe it.

"So, he's actually quite capable..."

Xu Caiying murmured something.

On the stage, the game for the Qi and Blood Martial Artist has ended, but the competition for the True Qi Stage is still in full swing.

After a fierce struggle at the front, Ning Fan, who was in last place, finally rushed to the colorful ball. He unleashed his True Qi, instantly suppressing the crowd and snatching the ball from Chu Luo's hands.
