Chu Ling'er brought gifts, victory in the extra match!

The tens of thousands of martial arts students from the Canglong Continent's numerous martial arts high schools in the spectator seats were all puzzled.

"Why is there an additional battle? I thought there were only twenty-five individual battles."

"This additional battle is perfect! How can the number one Qi and Blood Martial Artist on Blue Star and the number one Qi and Blood Warrior on Wood Source Planet not clash? Their battles shouldn't be scheduled in the first place!"

"But Xue Zhiran from Wood Source Planet is at the Heaven Aperture Stage, a realm that only someone with ten times the Strength Value can reach after ten Blood Tempering. Even our Canglong Prefecture Fourth Martial Arts High School doesn't have many people who have cultivated to that level. Can Chen Lie from Blue Star be her match?"

"That Chen Lie doesn't seem to be at the Heaven Aperture Stage, does he?"

"It's hard to say. I think Chen Lie is quite strong in combat. Is there any possibility that he can win a battle against someone of a higher level?"

"What a joke! The difference between the Heaven Aperture Stage and the Earth Aperture Stage is enormous."

To fight enemies of a higher level, you must first cultivate to the peak of the Earth Aperture Stage with eleven times the Strength Value and eleven Blood Tempering. Then, you must cultivate an SSSS or SSSSSS-level martial art to a level of divine mastery or higher. After that, you must solidify your physical qualities and physique in each realm of the Small Extreme Realm to ensure that your physical attributes and strength surpass those of your peers. Only then will you have the possibility of fighting enemies of a higher level in that realm.

"Our school probably only produces one or two geniuses like this every year. Could someone from a remote planet in the Eastern Star Region possibly achieve that?"

"Let's see how many moves Chen Lie from Blue Star can withstand from Xue Zhiran from Wood Source Planet."

In my opinion, based on Chen Lie Hua Jianying just now, Xue Zhiran definitely won't be able to defeat Chen Lie within a hundred moves."

"A hundred moves? You underestimate the strength of the Heaven Aperture Stage. If Xue Zhiran all out, I'll be impressed if Chen Lie can last ten moves!"

Spectators on all the planets in the Eastern Star Region held their breath, watching the battle that was about to erupt.

Inside the combat zone, Xue Zhiran stood directly in front of Chen Lie.

She suppressed her sneer and said calmly, "I remember you, Chen Lie from Blue Star?"

When we met at the martial arts market last time, I told you I'd give you a handicap, but you didn't dare accept. Why are you now willing to step into the ring and humiliate yourself?

If I were you, I would simply give up on this additional battle and never even step onto the stage."

In response to Xue Zhiran's trash talk, Chen Lie simply said expressionlessly, "You are you, and I am me. The outcome is still uncertain!"

"Hehe..."

Xue Zhiran let out a clear, bell-like laugh, staring at Chen Lie with a hint of disdain, and said, "Fine, confident? Then I wish you can hold out a few more moves against me later."

"In front of so many people, don't embarrass yourself or the Blue Star."

At this moment, the prompt "The competition begins" sounded.

Xue Zhiran suddenly raised his hand to attack, and a huge palm of blood and qi solidified, pressing down on Chen Lie from above.

"Boom!"

Chen Lie knew that the strength of the Heaven Aperture Stage was not to be underestimated, so he immediately unleashed his full power. His golden blood surged and he threw a punch.

As the two forces collided, a huge explosion rang out.

Xue Zhiran raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of appreciation, "Oh? You were able to easily withstand a palm strike with 70% of my power. Your strength is indeed impressive!"

Unfortunately, you're not yet at the Heaven Aperture Stage!

As Xue Zhiran spoke, he leaped into the air and began fighting Chen Lie.

The entire battle zone was filled with the aura of blood and energy, with golden blood and energy intertwined with the light of the crimson rainbow.

In a short time, Xue Zhiran and Chen Lie exchanged hundreds of blows.

With the intention of probing Chen Lie's strength, she only used 80% of her power.

Martial Artist at the Heaven Aperture Stage communicates with the Earth Second Campus. In a battle, if they unleash their full power, they can temporarily unleash twelve percent of their strength. If they then use a profound martial art, their combat power can be greatly amplified.

Therefore, for Xue Zhiran, using 80% of his strength is almost equivalent to using half of his power.

On the battlefield, Chen Lie faced Xue Zhiran with all his might. He swung his fists, and the Golden Flood Dragon formed from solidified blood and qi coiled and attacked Xue Zhiran's blood and qi barrier, but was shattered several times by Xue Zhiran's slap.

"Boom boom boom!"

The two sides clashed and resisted each other's qi and blood, and the sounds of their collisions were deafening, clearly dividing the battle into two zones: gold and blood.

Both the Blue Star and the Wood Source Planet factions were watching this battle.

Zu Yizun and Hu Dongzheng, two high-ranking officials from Wood Source Planet, both frowned deeply.

"I never expected that someone in the Blood-Qi Stage of Blue Star could have such strength. This Chen Lie is not even in the Heaven Aperture Stage, yet he can almost fight against someone in the Heaven Aperture Stage."

"Blue Star's secrecy is truly unmatched by Wood Source Planet. We have so many undercover agents, yet we still couldn't uncover this information."

"The intelligence says that Chen Lie from Blue Star is also a very powerful Divine Sense Master."

Before she went on stage, I had already told Xue Zhiran not to go all out at the beginning, but to try to probe Chen Lie's Mental Power techniques, so as not to be caught off guard and exploited in the team battle. It seems she listened to my advice!

On Blue Star, Ruan Liusu felt joy at the sight of her beloved's martial arts prowess, but also a sense of pressure.

"Brother, you're awesome!"

Han Keke shouted.

The participants in the Blue Star Blood-Qi Stage, including Jiang Yuan, Zhou Yu, Kang Quanlin, Zuo Yuan'er, were all watching the battle on the battlefield with great concentration.

None of them expected that Chen Lie had been hiding his true intentions so well.

Based on the strength he has shown so far, even if all of them attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Chen Lie.

Meanwhile, Lei Jinglong was secretly filled with regret.

Neither Xue Zhiran nor Chen Lie used any martial arts techniques during their fight in the combat zone.

It's likely that everyone thinks both sides are still holding back and not going all out.

However, Lei Jinglong knew that Xue Zhiran was indeed holding back by not using any martial arts techniques, while Chen Lie simply didn't know any martial arts at all.

A powerful martial art can significantly enhance Martial Artist's combat strength.

If you don't know martial arts, or if the martial arts you practice are too rudimentary, you will suffer a great loss in battle.

"Alas! If only I had known this would happen, I should have sought out a few advanced martial arts techniques of SSS rank or higher from Outer Stars and personally supervised Chen Lie's training."

"It wouldn't have come to this!"

Just as Lei Jinglong was sighing, the Grandmaster Martial Artist had accompanied Blue Star arrived.

"Principal Lei!"

"Hmm? What happened? Was Yang Jingnian escorted back? Did nothing unexpected happen?" Lei Jinglong asked.

The accompanying Grandmaster said, "Yang Jingnian's meridians have been severed, and he is imprisoned on the Star Boat."

"That's good. Is there anything else?"

"It was a native of Canglong Star who came to find Chen Lie."

I met her at the Interstellar Management Bureau, so I brought her here."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"It was a young girl who said she came specifically to deliver something to Chen Lie."

"Where is he?" Lei Jinglong asked.

"She's next to the Hall of All Stars. I'll go and call her over!"

The Grandmaster Martial Artist was escorting Blue Star turned and left.

A short while later, a beautiful girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old arrived at the waiting area.

The girl was Chu Ling'er. At this moment, Chu Ling'er had a bundle on her back and a bag that looked like it was made of silk in her hand.

Upon seeing Chu Ling'er, Lei Jinglong asked, "You've come to see Chen Lie? Do you know him?"

Chu Ling'er hummed in agreement. "I came here specifically to deliver something to him."

"You met in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, right?"

Lei Jinglong had long heard Zhang Liwu say that Chen Lie was very sociable and well-connected in the Sumeru Illusion Realm, and that people from Outer Stars often sent him packages.

Chen Lie had no experience of Leaving the Star, so naturally he could only get to know people from Outer Stars through the Sumeru Illusion Realm.

Chu Ling'er simply nodded, offering no further explanation.

Her family was a powerful and influential family on Canglong Star, and they usually looked down on people from Fringe Star Domain.

If it weren't for Chen Lie, she wouldn't have bothered dealing with these people, nor would she have been so polite.

"Where is Brother Chen... Lie?"

"Chen Lie is currently engaged in combat. If you need anything, wait until his battle is over!"

Chu Ling'er then noticed that the person fighting on the battlefield was Chen Lie.

Seeing Chen Lie unleashing the power of the Heaven Aperture Stage on the battlefield, Chu Ling'er was startled.

She remembered that two months ago Chen Lie seemed to be only at the Blood Refining Stage. How could he have progressed so quickly and now he could rival the Heaven Aperture Stage!

The spectacular battles within the combat zone amazed the tens of thousands of martial arts students from various martial arts academies who watched.

"Impressive! Someone who isn't even at the Heaven Aperture Stage has managed to exchange so many blows with Heaven Aperture Stage!"

"Chen Lie from Blue Star is indeed very strong. Judging from his momentum, he's not much weaker than Xue Zhiran from Wood Source Planet, who's at the Heaven Aperture Stage!"

The instructors at some martial arts academies also began to whisper among themselves.

In the Blood-Qi Stage, it is extremely difficult to fight enemies of a higher level, especially when crossing the Heaven Aperture, a crucial transitional realm.

If Chen Lie from Blue Star didn't have a special physique that boosted his combat power, then that would be terrifying. It means his Strength Value at least eleven times greater, and Blood Tempering eleven times in the Small Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi.

But is it possible for a genius with eleven times the Strength Value to emerge from a remote planet like Blue Star? Even in the Ten-Star Alliance, such geniuses are extremely rare.

In the Red Flame Planet of the Eastern Star Region, Zhu Jingshu, the fifteenth princess of the Great Yan Dynasty, murmured, "Imperial Brother, royal sister."

"Could it be that Chen Lie of Blue Star is also at the Heaven Aperture Stage? Otherwise, how could he have fought Xue Zhiran, who is at the Heaven Aperture Stage of Wood Source Planet, to this extent?"

The Crown Prince of the Great Yan Dynasty and Princess Lingyan, Zhu Jingxi, both shook their heads.

"Xue Zhiran is only testing the waters now; his true strength is far from being revealed. The power of the Heaven Aperture Stage is far more than this."

Just keep watching, Xue Zhiran from Wood Source Planet is almost certain to win this battle."

"Yeah?"

Zhu Jingshu frowned slightly as she watched this scene.

Both the Crown Prince of Great Yan and Princess Lingyan were once at the Heaven Aperture Stage, so they understand the power of the Heaven Aperture Stage.

Chen Lie's blood and qi surged again and again, showing that he was approaching his limit. On the contrary, Xue Zhiran still in the warm-up stage. Although the outcome of the battle between the two was still uncertain, the signs of the battle were already beginning to emerge.

On the battlefield, Xue Zhiran connected with the Earth Second Campus, breathing out blood-red light. The blood-red rainbow light, soaring hundreds of feet into the sky, had already suppressed Chen Lie's golden blood energy to a corner of the battle zone.

Her slender hands moved continuously towards Chen Lie, each strike seemingly light yet unleashing tremendous power, like a thunderous roar.

"Boom boom boom!"

Chen Lie clenched his fists, his blood and qi forming a small ocean as he fought back against Xue Zhiran's attack.

"They're really patient. They've been pushed to this point, and they still won't use their trump card."

Xue Zhiran said calmly, "Since that's the case, I won't waste my time with you!"

Xue Zhiran's power suddenly surged, and the blood rainbow light that had originally soared a hundred feet into the sky directly increased to 120 feet, turning a section of the sky above the battlefield red.

"Prepare to die!"

With his full power unleashed, Xue Zhiran struck out with a palm, instantly forming a massive palm print. The moment the palm print landed, it shattered the barrier formed by Chen Lie's golden blood energy with overwhelming force.

"Boom!"

After the impact, Chen Lie's released blood energy was dispersed. Due to the residual force of the impact, Chen Lie was instantly knocked back nearly a hundred steps until he was close to the red line of the combat zone before he was able to stabilize himself and stop.

Those watching from Blue Star were immediately on edge when they saw this.

The Heaven Aperture Stage is indeed powerful; even when unleashing its full strength, it possesses such power.

So, does Blue Star still have a chance to win this battle?

On the battlefield, Xue Zhiran's dark blue hair flew wildly as he sneered, "You ignorant brat, you dare to hold back when you spar with me, and you don't even use your martial arts."

Okay, since you want to hold back, then keep holding back!

Xue Zhiran opened her Earth Second Campus apertures, rapidly emitting blood-red light. She raised her palm and struck at Chen Lie again.

With a loud "boom!"

Xue Zhiran thrust out his palm, his head suddenly felt like it was about to explode with pain.

In the instant she swung her palm, she lost consciousness, her force went astray, and she seemed to collapse. Her body, which had been leaping ten meters above the ground, plummeted from the air and landed on the Duel Platform with a thud, her aloof demeanor completely gone.

This scene left the viewers utterly astonished.

What happened to Xue Zhiran, who was in a dominant position?

Why did he suddenly make such a fool of himself?

Xue Zhiran, regaining her senses, changed her expression. "Mental Power attack?"

She had already overestimated Chen Lie as much as possible, but she still underestimated him. A wave of Mental Power attacks actually made her lose her senses.

If it were a battle between equals, a life-or-death struggle, she would have died just now!

Xue Zhiran was filled with doubt and surprise. She had successfully cultivated her Heaven Aperture and had her Qi and Blood protecting her body. Generally speaking, Divine Sense Master below the third level could not affect her at all.

Even Third-Rank Divine Sense Master, possessing an offensive Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, could not possibly inflict such great damage upon himself, causing him to lose consciousness directly.

"Fine, it's better to force you to reveal your trump card now than to run into you in the team battle later!"

Xue Zhiran unleashed his full power, forming layers of qi and blood to create a protective shield, shielding himself from further Mental Power attacks, and then focused all his energy on attacking Chen Lie.

"Boom boom boom!"

Xue Zhiran launched an indiscriminate attack on Chen Lie. She swung her palms, creating afterimages, and unleashed hundreds of palm strikes in an instant, each one exploding like a powerful bomb.

Faced with the overwhelming, rain-like palm shadows, Chen Lie dodged while simultaneously mobilizing all his Mental Power, unleashing the power of the Seven Mansions of the Southern Sky and the Eastern Heavenly Seven Mansions at the same time. The prototype of the First Star God, Jing Wood Tapir, and Horn Wood Dragon, ' Horn Mansion ', can be considered as the superposition of the two Star God, releasing a wave of Mental Power Impact.

Boom!

The Mental Power Impact directly pierced through the layers of qi and blood protection that Xue Zhiran had carefully set up, and penetrated Xue Zhiran's mind.

"Ah!"

Xue Zhiran's mind went blank for a moment, and he felt a splitting headache. He unconsciously clutched his head with his outstretched hands and stopped attacking.

Inside the waiting area, Zu Yizun and Hu Dongzheng, two high-ranking Wood Source Planet, felt a chill in their hearts upon witnessing this scene.

"Is Chen Lie's Mental Power attack really that powerful? Xue Zhiran, who is at the Heaven Aperture Stage, couldn't withstand it?"

"What is Chen Lie's background? How can his Mental Power be so powerful?"

Amidst the unease of everyone on Wood Source Planet, Xue Zhiran regained his senses.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"Go to hell!"

Knowing that her qi and blood shield couldn't protect her, she decided to go all out against Chen Lie!

Xue Zhiran was no longer as composed as before, and used his mastery of martial arts.

"Ten Directions Annihilation Fist, Kill!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Xue Zhiran unleashed dozens of punches in an instant, the destructive fist shadows slamming heavily towards Chen Lie.

Chen Lie was naturally unable to withstand such a powerful attack, but the entire combat zone was covered by Xue Zhiran's attacks, leaving Chen Lie with no way to avoid them.

Left with no other choice, Chen Lie launched another Mental Power Impact.

Under the combined attack of the two Star God, Xue Zhiran looked as if he had been struck by lightning.

But this time, she was only distracted for a moment before launching another attack.

In a short period of time, Chen Lie launched dozens of Mental Power attacks. Although each one dealt a huge blow to Xue Zhiran, her frantic attacks prevented Chen Lie from getting close to her.

Under Xue Zhiran's chaotic attack, Chen Lie also took a solid hit, his blood and qi were shaken, and he suffered some minor injuries.

If it weren't for his strong physique, that attack would have taken half his life.

"Since that's the case..."

Chen Lie calmed himself down, and the second Star God-Ghost Golden Sheep's spiritual illusion silently unfolded.

Xue Zhiran completely unaware of what was happening.

She unleashed the full power of her SSSS-level martial art, the Ten Directions Formation-Breaking Fist. Amidst the chaotic explosions, she saw Chen Lie being smashed to pieces by her punch and knocked out of the combat zone.

Immediately afterwards, she heard a voice—'Xue Zhiran wins, Wood Source Planet's score increases by one.'

She let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "Finally, we won!"

Then, she stepped off the battlefield.

Just as Xue Zhiran reached the edge of the combat zone's red line and stepped out with his power, a stern voice rang out.

"Xue Zhiran, what are you doing!"

Xue Zhiran awoke, his powerful qi and blood unleashing their full force, directly breaking through the Mental Power illusion.

Looking up again, she realized she was about to leave the combat zone, and the Planetary Affairs Chief was looking at her sternly.

"What am I doing...?"

Before Xue Zhiran could react, Xue Zhiran Chen Lie had already silently appeared behind her.

He channeled all his energy and threw a punch. "Get down here!"

"Boom!"

Chen Lie delivered a powerful punch to Xue Zhiran, his blood and qi exploding, Xue Zhiran was knocked out of the fighting zone.

The outcome of the additional battle was instantly captured by the Satellite Sky Eye.

The Interstellar Management Bureau's Optical Computer broadcasts a message.

"The Twenty-Sixth Battle: The Battle of Qi and Blood Martial Artist."

Blue Star Chen Lie vs. Wood Source Planet Xue Zhiran, Blue Star Chen Lie wins, Blue Star's score increases by one.

On the holographic projection above, Blue Star's score changed from 11 to '12'.

This result left all the viewers speechless.

"What the heck? Xue Zhiran from Wood Source Planet crazy? The fight's really going on here, why did she suddenly leave?"

"What an incredible upset! Xue Zhiran, a cultivator at the Heaven Aperture Stage, actually lost to Chen Lie, a Xue Zhiran at the Earth Aperture Stage!"

"I think Xue Zhiran suddenly lost his mind. In the middle of the fight, he actually lowered his guard and walked to the edge of the combat zone."

"Anyone with eyes can see that Chen Lie from Blue Star is a powerful Divine Sense Master who used Mental Power to attack."

Perhaps Xue Zhiran too fragile and was stunned by the Mental Power attack; otherwise, her behavior wouldn't have been so strange.

Above the Hall of All Stars, the envoy from the Ten-Star Alliance also had a strange expression.

Wei Wushan, the envoy from Suyun Star, couldn't help but ask, "Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this battle?"

"Chen Lie from Blue Star is clearly a Divine Sense Master. To be able to inflict such a heavy blow on Xue Zhiran at the Heaven Aperture Stage, his Consciousness Spirit must be Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit that amplifies attack power, and his Mental Power realm has already reached the third level or above!" Lai Yundong from Glimmer Star said.

"That should be the case. This Chen Lie is not even a student of Starry Sky University, yet he has already cultivated Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit and his Mental Power has reached the third level. He is truly remarkable."

They are also outstanding in the Ten-Star Alliance.

However, Xue Zhiran's last actions on Wood Source Planet were somewhat strange. Could it be that he really suffered Mental Power attack, causing him to act abnormally?

Wu Danchen from the Interstellar Management Bureau asked, puzzled.

While everyone else felt that Xue Zhiran behaving strangely, only Han Keke knew what Xue Zhiran been through.

It must be that my elder brother used the Dark Ghost Dragon's Mental Power illusion again.

As the protagonist of the battle, Xue Zhiran also looked completely bewildered.

"Xue Zhiran, what's wrong with you? The battle isn't over yet, and you're already leaving?"

Faced with the doubts and questions from the people of Wood Source Planet, Xue Zhiran realized what she had just experienced.

She was just under the influence of... Mental Power illusion?

She had also heard of the Canglan Star Domain Consciousness Spirit Ranking. It seemed that only the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ranked first had the ability to create Mental Power illusions.

But she didn't believe that Chen Lie's Consciousness Spirit was the number one Consciousness Spirit.

Because she is a student at Starry Sky University, she has an understanding of the difficulty of cultivating the top ten Consciousness Spirit on the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking.

Divine Sense Master who cultivates to the top ten Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit is generally at the Upper Three Stars. The environment of Blue Star is simply not conducive to the emergence of such Divine Sense Master.

But what about those Mental Power techniques? Could it be Mental Power manual, or does Chen Lie possess a secret treasure capable of creating illusions?

She noticed a significant difference in strength between Chen Lie's Mental Power Impact and his Mental Power illusion. She could easily dispel the Mental Power illusion with a single burst of her blood and qi; as long as she was vigilant, the illusion wouldn't harm her.

The Dark Ghost Dragon, ranked first on the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking, certainly wouldn't be so weak.

"I'm sorry, Planetary Affairs Chief, Chen Lie of Blue Star has extraordinary Mental Power. He must have cultivated to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit, and should be a Divine Sense Master of the Third Rank or above. I have been affected by his strange technique."

But I've already figured out his trump card. I'm confident I can lead everyone to victory in the upcoming team battle."

Mu Yuanxing, the head of the affairs department, frowned and asked, "Is Chen Lie from Blue Star really that strong in terms of mental power?"

Although Xue Zhiran was reluctant to admit it, he still nodded. "Yes, he's very strong. One of his Mental Power attacks could make me lose consciousness instantly. I simply couldn't resist it!"
