In martial arts, achievement came before seniority

Lu Shengya led Chu Ling'er out of the private room and arrived at a separate comprehensive testing center for Divine Sense Master in the Divine Martial Hall, next to a large instrument.

"Ling'er, this is the latest generation of Consciousness Spirit analysis instrument from Canglong Star. It records tens of thousands of different Consciousness Spirit in the Canglan Star Domain and has the ability to analyze unfamiliar Consciousness Spirit from other star regions. Why don't you give it a try?"

"Good!"

Chu Ling'er nodded, her heart filled with anticipation as she approached the Consciousness Spirit analysis instrument and, following the instructions, activated it.

The Consciousness Spirit analyzer immediately broadcast a prompt: "Welcome to the 17th-Generation Consciousness Spirit Analyzer produced by Canglong Star Divine Revelation Group. Please place your palm on the light mirror below the instrument, relax your Sea of Consciousness, and slowly circulate your Mental Power..."

Following the instructions, Chu Ling'er placed her palm on the light mirror, then released her Sea of Consciousness and began to slowly circulate her Mental Power.

"Identifying the Consciousness Spirit..."

"A strange Consciousness Spirit was discovered..."

"Consciousness Spirit Level: Heaven-Grade"

"Type of Consciousness Spirit: Chilong."

On the Consciousness Spirit analyzer, a jade-white, one-horned dragon appeared, but the instrument's announcements did not stop.

"Attribute of Consciousness Spirit: Unknown."

"Identification failed. Analyzing the strength of Consciousness Spirit. Please wait..."

Chu Ling'er was not surprised at all, but Lu Shengya was extremely puzzled.

Isn't Chu Ling'er the Azure Water Chi Dragon who has cultivated the twenty-seventh Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit?

This is documented properly; how can it be identified as a failure?

After a while, the Consciousness Spirit analyzer broadcasted its message again.

"Analysis of Consciousness Spirit successful: This Consciousness Spirit may be Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit from an extraterrestrial region."

"Consciousness Spirit Ability: Enhances Mental Power."

Amplification of Consciousness Spirit attack Mental Power: 20-22 times.

"Consciousness Spirit rating: Comparable to Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit ranked between 20th and 15th in the Canglan Star Domain."

"The Consciousness Spirit recorded it and named it ' Jade-Horned Chi Dragon '."

Chu Ling'er's heart skipped a beat. It really could have a 20-fold increase in Mental Power, which was much more powerful than the original ' Azure Water Chi Dragon '.

According to the description of the Azure Water Chi Dragon in the Consciousness Spirit Illustrated Handbook, its Mental Power attack amplification is only 13-15 times.

Although it no longer possesses the ability of the Azure Water Chi Dragon to divide and disintegrate external Mental Power, its Mental Power attack amplification has increased by nearly tenfold. Even a fool would know which option to choose.

Any abilities that come with Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit are insignificant compared to enhancing Mental Power attacks.

"Ling'er, isn't your Consciousness Spirit supposed to be the Azure Water Chi Dragon? How come it's like this...?"

Lu Shengya was stunned. She knew that Chu Ling'er had a good talent for Mental Power, after all, she was able to cultivate Sea of Consciousness Score of 23 million.

But I never expected her talent to be this good. A Mental Power attack amplified more than 20 times—wouldn't that be comparable to the Dark Ghost Dragon on the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking?

If this terrifying Consciousness Spirit were to reach the eighth-tier Mental Power Grandmaster, wouldn't it make it invincible?

At that time, he will probably be hard to find a match for even among the Ninth-Order Yuan Gang Realm Grandmaster.

She had thought Chu Ling'er wasn't much stronger than her, after all, she was slightly ahead of Chu Ling'er in martial arts. But now that Chu Ling'er had cultivated such a Consciousness Spirit, how could she possibly compare?

Cultivating to the Heaven-Grade Consciousness Spirit Ranking Consciousness Spirit is almost Twelvefold Strength Value in martial arts.

Can she cultivate to Twelvefold Strength Value?

Without a specific opportunity, it would be impossible.

Seeing that Chen Lie was indeed telling the truth, Chu Ling'er was overjoyed and said, "It was also because I encountered a fortuitous opportunity that my Consciousness Spirit underwent such a change..."

"Ultimately, it's because you have enough talent. Only geniuses can make the most of opportunities; for an ordinary person, it would be a waste."

Chu Ling'er was self-aware; she knew that although she was exceptionally talented, she was still quite a distance from Lu Shengya. If it weren't for the fact that Star Camphor Stele had taken the exam for her, she wouldn't even have been able to get in touch with Lu Shengya's circle.

Now, being praised by Lu Shengya, she was extremely pleased. Despite her youthful spirit and determination to keep this opportunity to herself and not reveal Chen Lie's affairs, she became momentarily carried away and blurted out, "No, it's because I was instructed by His Excellency of the Central Galactic Empire..."

Halfway through her sentence, Chu Ling'er suddenly realized what she was saying and quickly covered her mouth with her small hand.

Lu Shengya was suddenly startled. Although Chu Ling'er only said half of what she wanted to say, she still understood.

So, Chu Ling'er's progress today was due to the guidance of a senior from the Central Galactic Empire?

How could someone from the Central Galactic Empire possibly grace the Canglan Star Domain with their presence? And how could Chu Ling'er happen to encounter them and be willing to teach them?

"Ling'er, are you saying that you were instructed by a senior from the Central Galactic Empire, which caused the change in your Consciousness Spirit?"

Lu Shengya asked, "If that's really the case, then Chu Ling'er's luck is too good. Why didn't this kind of opportunity fall on her head?"

"Uh, yes, a very senior colleague, but I can't say more. That senior colleague has a bad temper and forbids me from mentioning him to others."

Chu Ling'er inwardly blamed herself for not keeping her mouth shut.

But since the information had already been accidentally leaked, she could only try her best to mislead Lu Shengya.

Lu Shengya had originally wanted Chu Ling'er to introduce her, but upon hearing her say that, her heart sank.

The predecessors of the Central Galactic Empire must have been great masters of martial arts, and it's normal for them to have unpredictable personalities. If one were to rashly go to pay homage, it could very well lead to trouble.

"Oh, I see!" Lu Shengya nodded with slight disappointment.

Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to the third floor of the Divine Martial Hall.

In the conference hall, Chen Lie saw a group of contestants at the Blood-Qi Stage being gathered together by Lei Jinglong for a meeting.

Upon seeing Chen Lie return, Lei Jinglong asked, "Chen Lie, you greeted the Grandmaster Martial Artist you were traveling with yesterday, but you didn't return all night. What happened?"

"Oh, I went to discuss martial arts with a friend."

"It's good that you're alright. We're on Canglong Star now, and we don't know anyone here. Besides, you're not a student at Starry Sky University yet, so traveling on Canglong Star isn't entirely legal. If something happens, it'll be difficult to handle," Lei Jinglong said.

"I see!"

"Yes, sit down. I have something to announce."

As Lei Jinglong was speaking, Chen Lie entered the conference hall.

Now that the competition has ended, all the Starry Sky University students at the True Qi Stage have returned to school, including Starry Sky University Starry Sky University students at the Blood-Qi Stage such as Xing Zhou Yu and Kang Quanlin.

Upon seeing Chen Lie arrive, Jiang Yuan, Zuo Yuan'er, Hao Yulong, and the others all stepped back, giving up the first seat.

Chen Lie sat in the head seat with a blank expression.

In the Martial Era, the strong are respected in any environment.

Chen Lie's strength has now far surpassed the sum of their individual abilities, so naturally, they all respect Chen Lie.

After everyone was seated, Lei Jinglong said, "Classmates, I have sent news of our victory back to Blue Star."

When you return, the planet will prepare a grand welcome party for you.

After ten years, our Blue Star has finally succeeded in being elected as Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region Council.

But our home planet still needs you. Although the external threat has been resolved, we still have internal worries, namely the Exotic Beast that constantly emerge from the depths of the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave the Northwest."

"I have some bad news for you. Today, the 14th of this month, a Grandmaster- level Exotic Beast emerged from the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave for the first time, injuring twenty-one of our Frontline Army Grandmaster and more than a thousand Frontline Army soldiers. We have not made this public."

It was because of this Grandmaster-level Exotic Beast that the entrance to the Earth Cave was greatly expanded, and the Exotic Beast emerging from the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave every day has almost doubled compared to before.

The pressure on the Northwest Frontline Army has increased dramatically, and we urgently need a Tenth-Stage Martial Artist and Heavenly Human Grandmaster to delve into the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave to investigate.

Chen Lie was taken aback. At this point in time, Grandmaster- Exotic Beast could already emerge from the Kunlun Ruins in the Northwest?

"Principal Lei, did Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast really emerge from the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave?" Chen Lie asked.

"That's right, the Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast that emerged was a giant ape that was a hundred meters tall. Fortunately, the Frontline Army commander Shi Yuanzheng discovered it in time."

For some reason, when the giant ape emerged from the Earth Cave, it was already severely injured. The flesh on its back looked as if it had been gnawed away by something, and its bones were exposed.

Even so, Shi Yuanzheng, with the cooperation of many Grandmaster generals, expended considerable effort to successfully kill this Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast.

Chen Lie knew the power of a Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast -Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast; even the current Extreme Grandmaster of the Blue Star were no match for it.

It's hoped that the emergence of Grandmaster-level Exotic Beast is just an isolated case. If such powerful Exotic Beast frequently emerge from the Earth Cave, it could really cause a lot of trouble for Blue Star.

"There's another piece of news: the Saint Envoy Hall wants to use the Four-Sided Star Domain of the Northwest as a base to create an Interstellar Allied Forces."

Permanent Councilor Star of the Four-Sided Star Domain are vying for control of the Interstellar Allied Forces. As a newly promoted Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region, we should also try our best to secure the position of the dominant planet in the Four-Sided Star Domain.

So the struggle hasn't stopped, and everyone still needs to work hard...

Lei Jinglong spoke at length about this matter, and then added, "To form Interstellar Allied Forces, every planet in the Four-Sided Star Domain must contribute manpower and resources."

As everyone knows, Blue Star Northwest Beast Plague has always tied up 80 percent of the world's standing military force, not to mention the sudden deterioration of the situation in the Northwest.

Under these conditions, we also need to mobilize Martial Artist of the Seventh Tier and above to join the Interstellar Alliance. Naturally, Blue Star's military strength will be stretched thin, and a major military expansion will be inevitable.

"The initial plan is for Blue Star to expand its military by two million by March of Galactic Calendar 7366, to form Interstellar Allied Forces and support the Northwest Frontline..."

"In short, although we have won the Permanent Council Star Contest, Blue Star still faces formidable challenges. Therefore, everyone must not slacken in their martial arts training; the future of Blue Star depends on you..."

After announcing these things, Lei Jinglong said, "President Wang, go to the Hall of All Stars to complete the formalities. After the formalities are completed, we will return to Blue Star today. Everyone, please prepare yourselves, we will board the Star Boat together later!"

Then, Lei Jinglong dismissed everyone.

After Lei Jinglong and the others left, Jiang Yuan came to Chen Lie's side.

"Chen Lie, I remember you just broke through to the Great Extreme Realm of Blood-Qi not long ago, how come you suddenly have the Heaven Aperture? When did you break through to the Earth Aperture Stage?"

Chen Lie didn't tell the truth, only saying, "A long time ago!"

"So you've been hiding your true strength all along."

Your breakthrough to the Heaven Aperture Stage means that you reached ten times your Strength Value when you were in the Small Extreme Realm.

"Let's find some time to have a friendly match?"

Chen Lie glanced at Jiang Yuan and said, "You're not a good match for me."

Jiang Yuan's face stiffened. Did Chen Lie look down on his strength?

At this moment, Han Keke walked up and snorted, "Get out of here!"

Even Xue Zhiran, a Heaven Aperture Stage Martial Artist from Wood Source Planet, is no match for my elder brother. You probably have a hard time even dealing with Hua Jianying, the second-ranked martial artist on Wood Source Planet, and you still have the nerve to challenge my elder brother to a duel?

What if my older brother doesn't know his own strength and hurts you?

Jiang Yuan said no more and turned to leave.

After Jiang Yuan left, Zuo Yuan'er, the Martial Leader of Longhai Province, parted her red lips and said, "Classmate Chen... there is no order of precedence in martial arts; the one who achieves it comes first."

If it's convenient, I look forward to your guidance in the future!

"That's more like it. My elder brother is now the uncrowned king. Even Zhu Jingxuan, the crown prince of Red Flame Planet, praises him as the number one person in the Blood-Qi Stage in the Eastern Star Region."

"When dealing with the number one Blood-Qi Realm expert in a star field, you must maintain the right attitude!" Han Keke added.

"Alright!"

Chen Lie waved to Han Keke, then said to Zuo Yuan'er, "If there's an opportunity, I won't hesitate to offer my guidance."

"Thanks!"

Zuo Yuan'er pursed her lips.

She no longer looked down on Chen Lie's background, nor did she think Chen Lie lacked talent.

For someone at the Heaven Aperture Stage and the number one Blood-Qi Realm in the Eastern Star Region, the Seven Star True Qi talent really doesn't mean much.

The so-called Martial Leader of Longhai Province is now a joke in front of Chen Lie.

Zuo Yuan'er's thoughts are a microcosm of what everyone else is thinking.

That afternoon, Wang Shou returned from the Hall of All Stars, having completed all the formalities for Blue Star to join the Interstellar Alliance. He was now awaiting approval from the Saint Envoy Hall, after which Blue Star would officially become Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region.

Lei Jinglong called on everyone to leave the Divine Martial Hall. Lu Ziyi, Wang Shou's friend who had arranged for the Blue Star group to stay at the Divine Martial Hall, came to see them off.

He exclaimed, "Wang Shou, I never expected that your Blue Star would actually be elected as Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region this time."

Your ten years of hard work have finally paid off.

"Winning the battle is fraught with difficulties, but the result is always good," Wang Shou said.

"Alright, you can go now. I won't see you off. Next time you come to Canglong Star, please let me know in advance."

"Fine, I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

After bidding farewell to Lu Ziyi, Wang Shou boarded the Star Boat with Blue Star and his group.

Once aboard the Star Boat, Chen Lie immediately spotted Yang Jingnian, who was being guarded by two Grandmaster and was bound hand and foot.

"Damn it, this traitor is still alive?"

"That scoundrel Yang Jingnian almost caused Blue Star to fail. Why keep him alive? Why not just kill him?"

At this moment, Lei Jinglong also boarded the Star Boat and said, "Yang Jingnian needs to be taken back to Blue Star for trial, so it's inconvenient for us to handle the matter."

"That's such a hassle!"

Hao Yulong approached Yang Jingnian: "Yang Jingnian, you remnant of the East Camp, you colluded with Wood Source Planet to harm us."

You don't know yet, do you? Blue Star won. Now it's the Permanent Councilor Star of the Eastern Star Region. Wood Source Planet can't protect you, nor can it protect the ' Dark Star ' behind you. This time, we're going back to put you to trial and settle accounts with the Dark Star Organization in the Three-Island Province!"

A look of disbelief flashed in Yang Jingnian's eyes as he was bound hand and foot.

"Alright, Hao Yulong, you're really bored. Why are you talking about this with a traitor?" Zuo Yuan'er said coldly.

Hao Yulong shrugged. "I just want this traitor to understand what he's about to face."

"Everyone, return to your positions! The Star Boat will take off soon!"

At that moment, Wang Shou's voice came.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately found their seats inside the Star Boat and sat down.
