Envoys from the Ten-Star Alliance
On Muyuan Star, led by Muyuan Star Affairs Chief Zu Yizun and Federal Army Commander-in-Chief Tou Masashi, the contestants for the Muyuan Star Contest emerged one by one from the certification room.
Upon encountering the people from Blue Star, the people from Wood Source Planet all showed hostility.
"Aren't those people from Blue Star? It seems they completed the reporting and certification earlier than us," said the group of contestants from Wood Source Planet.
Mu Yuanxing, the head of the affairs department, Zu Yizun, approached Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong: "You two must be Wang Shou, the president of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, and Lei Jinglong, the president of Blue Star University, right?"
Lei Jinglong said calmly, "Hu Dongzheng, we've already crossed paths three times on Blood God Planet, the Saint Envoy Hall, and Canglong Star. The last time we met was only two or three months ago. Surely you don't recognize me?"
Hu Dongzheng said, "Principal Lei Jinglong, don't get so angry. Our Planetary Affairs Chief has something to say to you."
"Just say what you have to say."
Zu Yizun said, "President Wang Shou, Principal Lei Jinglong, our Wood Source Planet and your Blue Star are neighboring stars."
Ten years ago, the Interstellar Relations between our two stars was quite harmonious, at least no worse than that of other planets in the Eastern Star Region.
Apart from this Permanent Council Star Contest, there is no animosity between Wood Source Planet and Blue Star.
Over the past decade, the competition between us and each other has inevitably involved various tactics.
However, my generation of geniuses from Wood Source Planet is far superior to those from your Blue Star.
If Blue Star could discern the will of Heaven, it would know that the position of Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region would inevitably belong to Wood Source Planet. If you are willing to withdraw from this competition, Wood Source Planet has always been magnanimous. After becoming Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region, we will treat everyone equally and will never retaliate."
Wang Shou simply replied, "I'll give the same thing to your Wood Source Planet!"
"In that case, let's see who's the real deal!"
After Zu Yizun speaking, he led the many students who had completed the certification on Wood Source Planet to check out the final battleground.
Led by Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong, more than twenty participants from Blue Star also left the Interstellar Management Bureau's office.
After Zu Yizun the Interstellar Management Bureau, Wood Source Planet, headed by the Planetary Affairs Chief of Jupiter, did not rush to the final battleground. Instead, he first sent Hu Dongzheng to lead the Wood Source Planet contestants to the final battleground while he waited.
A short while later, an elderly man with a long beard also emerged from the Interstellar Management Bureau.
Upon seeing the old man, Zu Yizun immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Professor Peng, did you observe the strength of those people from Blue Star just now? How do they compare to our contestants in the Wood Source Planet Contest?"
Zu Yizun respectfully and humbly sought guidance from the long-bearded elder.
This long-bearded old man was his teacher at the off-campus Martial Arts Hall when he was studying in Outer Stars. He was a Tenth-Order Heavenly Human Grandmaster Martial Artist and a ninth-level Mental Power Grandmaster.
However, this teacher is over 150 years old this year, his qi and blood are severely depleted, and his combat power has declined significantly. Although he is Tenth-Stage Martial Artist, his current combat power is not much stronger than his.
The lifespan of Heavenly Human Grandmaster can reach two hundred years, but after the age of 120, their vital energy will begin to decline. When they reach the age of 170 or 180, their vital energy may be exhausted. If they were to unleash all their power to fight someone, they might die on the spot and could only live a life of lingering remnants.
This teacher was specially invited by him to assess the abilities of the contestants from Blue Star.
Upon hearing Zu Yizun's question, the long-bearded old man stroked his beard and said, "Those juniors on Blue Star are all extraordinary."
The three Eighth-Order Martial Artist who had reached the Qi Refining into Gang stage were all extremely powerful, no less so than the three eighth-level Wood Source Planet.
These ten True Qi Realm Martial Artist are on par with the group from Wood Source Planet; each possesses extraordinary abilities, making the outcome uncertain.
As for the twelve people from Blue Star who were at the Blood-Qi Stage just now, I observed them closely. None of them broke through to the Heaven Aperture Stage, but there were nine people at the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm. In the competition among Qi and Blood Martial Artist, your Wood Source Planet has a top-tier combat advantage.
only..."
"But what?"
"Among those in the Blood-Qi Stage, there is one person whose Qi and Blood are exceptionally strong. Although he is not in the Heaven Aperture Stage, I think he is not much different from an ordinary Heaven Aperture Stage person. He may have a special physique such as 'innate divine strength'," the long-bearded old man said.
"That's alright. As long as the opponent isn't at the Heaven Aperture Stage, even someone with innate divine strength and at the peak of the Earth Aperture Stage would find it difficult to defeat a true Heaven Aperture Stage."
The battle for Blood-Qi Stage has the highest scoring weight. As long as Blood-Qi Stage can be stabilized, the balance of victory will tilt towards Wood Source Planet.
Moreover, he had also laid a hidden trap, so this time, the Wood Source Planet was destined to win the Permanent Council Star Contest!
Meanwhile, Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou escorted all the Blue Star people back to the Divine Martial Hall.
Lei Jinglong announced, "Students, the Permanent Councilor Star Competition starts at eight o'clock this morning. We need to go to the final battleground next to the Interstellar Alliance Bureau two hours in advance."
So everyone should refrain from wandering around today and conserve their energy to prepare for tomorrow's battle.
"We can discuss the proposed battle plan again while we still have time today."
After Lei Jinglong finished speaking, the people did not rush to discuss the battle plan, but returned to their Dormitory.
Chen Lie returned to his temporary Dormitory and resumed his cultivation of the "Mengzhang Divine Refining Chapter" of the Eastern Heavenly Seven Mansions.
His Mental Power had just made a breakthrough and could not be improved in the short term. However, with the spiritual power of the ' Eastern Heavenly Seven Mansions ', Chen Lie was confident that he could use his Mental Power to inflict damage on those in the Heaven Aperture Stage, but it would be difficult for him to win.
If Chu Ling'er cannot deliver the Advanced Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid by tomorrow, he will probably have to use his Blood Qi Secret Technique.
Putting aside the depletion of qi and blood caused by the use of the Qi and Blood Secret Technique, isn't it a bit too conspicuous to use such a miraculous method in public?
Once the Qi and Blood Secret Technique is used, one's strength will likely increase dramatically. However, for those above the Origin Aperture Stage, wouldn't such a technique that causes such a surge in strength arouse suspicion from others?
Even if he falsely claims to be at the Origin Aperture Stage, the Origin Aperture Stage requires eleven times the Strength Value and eleven Blood Tempering. At Blue Star's level, even ten times the Strength Value is rare, so how can eleven times the Strength Value be explained?
"Forget it, let's not dwell on these things anymore. With my current combat strength and Mental Power, I might be able to deal with the Heaven Aperture Stage of Wood Source Planet."
Moreover, this battle may not necessarily require me to turn the tide.
Chen Lie met all the contestants from Wood Source Planet today. Apart from the obvious weakness in the Blood-Qi Stage, Blue Star is actually no weaker than Wood Source Planet.
The Grandmaster Realm were even slightly stronger than those from Wood Source Planet, while the True Qi Stage fighters were evenly matched.
The weakness of the Blood-Qi Stage is only reflected in one or two top-level combatants. The number of people in the Blood-Qi Rainbow Realm on Wood Source Planet is one less than that on Blue Star. Blue Star has nine people, Wood Source Planet has eight. If we can eliminate Wood Source Planet's advantage of having people in the Heaven Aperture Stage, Blue Star has a great chance of winning.
The day passed quickly.
The next day, on the morning of November 20th, 7365 in the Galactic Calendar, less than six minutes later, all the participants in the Permanent Councilor Star Competition of Blue Star gathered. Led by Wang Shou, the president of the Martial Artist Association, and Lei Jinglong, the Blue Star University President, they headed to the final battleground next to the Interstellar Alliance.
This time, the people from Wood Source Planet arrived even earlier than those from Blue Star. They had already reached their destination before the people from Wood Source Planet Blue Star.
At this moment, because the Interstellar Management Bureau had posted the lists of participants from both Wood Source Planet and Blue Star, Chen Lie also learned the names of the participants from Wood Source Planet.
The Grandmaster Martial Artist from Wood Source Planet are: Zu Tiansheng, Wu Fengyun, Meng Yuehan.
Participants in the True Qi Stage of Wood Source Planet: Meng Qingwan, Zhou Shaoyu, Chen Bai, Hua Dongxu, Shen Hao, Yuan Han, Fu Sifan, Fan Zonglin, Bai Qianqian, and Sun Ruyi.
The participants in the Blood-Qi Stage are: Xue Zhiran, Hua Jianying, Sang Ji, Bu Feifan, Zhou Yunqi, Lian Changqing, Du Jia, Zu Keying, Meng Zhao, Meng Zhao Duan Yonglin, Yue Shan, and Gu Qian.
Both teams of contestants entered the battle arena; it was not yet seven in the morning.
A middle-aged man followed by a dozen or so staff members entered the center of the venue.
The person in charge of receiving the Blue Star and Wood Source Planet introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is Director Wu Danchen of the Canglong Star Interstellar Administration."
Upon learning the middle-aged man's identity, Wang Shou, Lei Jinglong, and Zu Yizun and Hu Dongzheng from Wood Source Planet all greeted him, "Hello, Director Wu!"
Wu Danchen nodded and asked, "Are all the participants from Blue Star and Wood Source Planet present?"
"Everyone's here!"
"Go verify their identities, then bring them to the Hall of All Stars!" Wu Danchen ordered.
"Yes!"
The Interstellar Management Bureau personnel received orders to immediately lead the people from Blue Star and Wood Source Planet to verify their identities.
Soon after, identity verification was completed, and everyone was led to the outside of a magnificent hall in the battle arena, with the three large characters ' Hall of All Stars ' written on it.
Upon entering the main hall, Chen Lie saw that there were ten seats, nine of which were occupied.
These nine people, including both men and women, were dressed in different ways.
"Director Wu, all participants from Blue Star and Wood Source Planet have completed their identity verification!"
Wu Danchen, seated in the main hall, responded and began to address the contestants.
"As instructed by the Saint Envoy Hall, the qualification for joining the Interstellar Alliance in the Eastern Star Region must be chosen today from either Blue Star or Wood Source Planet."
Seated in the Hall of All Stars were envoys from the Ten-Star Alliance who had come to observe.
They are respectively the envoy representing the Blood God Planet, a true disciple of the Blood God Sect, and Sun Gen, the Star Bureau of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The envoy representing Beimang Star, Princess Qin Yingyue of the Beimang Star Sacred Martial Dynasty Sky Moon Princess.
The envoy representing Suyun Star, Wei Wushan of the Suyun Star Interstellar Administration Department.
Lai Yundong, Deputy Director of the Glimmer Star Federal General Bureau of Glimmer Star, representing the envoy of Micro-Light Star.
The envoy representing Changxia Star, Elder Shi Dayou of the Cloudglow Sect.
"The messenger representing the Haoran Star..."
Wu Danchen, director of the Canglong Star Interstellar Administration, introduced the representatives of the eight planets of the Ten-Star Alliance. Apart from Canglong Star, which he represented, and Tianming Star, which had never interfered in human affairs and had no envoys present, the Ten-Star Alliance was introduced.
"Distinguished envoys, all the participants from Wood Source Planet and Blue Star are here. You have all read the rules of the battle. Is there anything else you would like to add? Please ask now!" Wu Danchen said.
"Just follow the rules set by Canglong Star, no further explanation needed."
For the Ten-Star Alliance, it doesn't matter whether Blue Star or Wood Source Planet is elected as Permanent Councilor Star.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the Permanent Councilor Star of the Four-Sided Star Domain are just cobbled together by the Interstellar Alliance. Although being elected Permanent Councilor Star can bring huge benefits to the planets in these Fringe Star Domain, it doesn't matter to the real Ten-Star Alliance.
After seeing Qin Yingyue, the representative of Beimang Star, Chen Lie felt reassured.
As far as she knew, Qin Yingyue should have been in the Saint Envoy Hall located on Tianming Star.
The struggle between Blue Star and Wood Source Planet Wood Source Planet the Permanent Council Star Contest is a momentous event for both Blue Star, concerning their national destiny for thousands of years. However, for high-ranking and powerful figures, it is not a big deal.
It's unlikely that Qin Yingyue would make a special trip to Canglong Star just to participate in the Permanent Councilor Star Competition. The most likely reason is that she came to deliver the things she ordered to Mu Yunyao and then casually check out the Permanent Councilor Star Competition.
So, the Extraordinary-Grade Blood-Tempering Spirit Liquid should already be in Mu Yunyao's hands; it's just a matter of when Chu Ling'er will deliver it to her.
After receiving replies from the other planets, Wu Danchen sent all the participants from Blue Star and Wood Source Planet to the battlefield.
When they left the Hall of All Stars and arrived at the battle arena, there were already many people outside.
Most of these people are teenagers under the age of 15.
The person from the Canglong Star Interstellar Administration explained, "These people are all students from various martial arts high schools in our Canglong Continent."
They knew about this battle today and came specifically to watch it, organized by Wudao High School!
Besides, there are also people from the Four-Sided Star Domain. Quite a few people from your Eastern Star Region's Red Flame Planet, Shuimang Star, and Jintian Star have come to watch!
After saying these words, the people from the Canglong Star Interstellar Administration asked the participants from both stars to wait.
They then gathered Wang Shou Blue Star, Lei Jinglong, Zu Yizun, and Hu Dongzheng Wood Source Planet discuss which contestant from each planet would be chosen to compete against the contestant from the other planet.
"This battle is a fight between two planets, and in individual combat, each person can only participate once."
The competition rules encourage strong teams to face strong opponents and weak teams to face weak opponents. You can discuss this on the spot and submit your respective opponents to me. I will represent the Canglong Star Interstellar Administration to match opponents for the participants from your respective planets."
Four high-ranking figures from Blue Star and Wood Source Planet held a discussion on the spot, following instructions from the Interstellar Management Bureau.
Neither side was willing to yield, and neither side would allow their stronger competitor to face off against the weaker competitor.
It's even less likely that a weaker competitor would be pitted against a stronger competitor on their side, wasting a scoring opportunity.
In individual combat, each person can only participate in one battle.
After more than twenty minutes of discussion, the Canglong Interstellar Management Bureau finally arranged the opponents for the two-star contestants.
