Blue Star Satellite TV only released a notice after broadcasting the news.

"Due to the increasingly tense situation of the Northwest Beast Plague this year, in view of this, the Blue Star Political Council has decided, and the Blue Star Administrator has approved, that starting from December 30, 7365 Galactic Coin, Blue Star will expand its army by two million."

The forces will be used for two purposes: first, to construct the Northwest Defense Line, and second, to form Interstellar Allied Forces.

"This round of recruitment will end in March of Galactic Calendar 7366. Martial Artist from all over the world are encouraged to actively join the army and register for the future of their home planet. The recruitment criteria are as follows..."

After reading the news, Chen Lie pondered to himself.

This time, the conscription criteria require Martial Artist at the Fifth-Order Qi Manipulation Realm or above. Apart from forming Interstellar Allied Forces, the recruitment of these fifth-order Martial Artist indicates that the beast threat in the Kunlun Ruins in the Northwest of Blue Star has indeed become much more severe.

"If I have the chance, I'd like to sneak into the cave where the Exotic Beast emerged and take a look."

What kind of place is it that keeps producing Exotic Beast?

In the past twenty years, the number of Exotic Beast that have emerged from the Kunlun Ruins in the Northwest is probably no less than two hundred million, a phenomenon he had never heard of in his previous life.

"However, to get deeper into the Earth Cave entrance, I need to have the ability to deal with Ninth-Stage Exotic Beast."

This shouldn't be difficult for Chen Lie. Once he reaches the Third Ultimate Realm of the Blood-Qi Stage, cultivates the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the True Qi Stage, and then cultivates the Lunar and Solar True Qi Five Elements True Qi, breaking through the Great Extreme Realm of the True Qi Stage, ' Five Qi Converging at the Origin ' and ' Yin-Yang Deity Realm ', his combat power will be immense, making it easy for him to fight beyond his level. In addition, since he has cultivated the Blood-Qi Stage to its peak, his physical energy will be inexhaustible. Even if the Kunlun Ruins Earth Cave is deep, he can easily return without having to wait until the ninth or tenth level.

Chen Lie had previously estimated the strength of Sheng Yingluo, the daughter of the Star Seeker. She was young, and her martial arts realm was probably only at the Eighth-Order Innate Embryonic Breath Realm, but there might not be anyone in the Eastern Star Region who could rival her.

The Great Yan Dynasty Red Flame Planet should have an elderly Tenth-Order Heavenly Human Grandmaster, but he might not be a match for a genius Grandmaster Martial Artist cultivates according to the martial arts process of the Central Galactic Empire.

Just as Chen Lie was watching the news on TV, his door was suddenly pushed open.

Chen Lie turned around and saw that it was his parents who had pushed open the door and come home.

"Son, you're back?"

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Feng Yuelan and Chen Gequn immediately stepped forward.

"Dad, Mom, I just got home."

Chen Lie got up from the sofa and went to his parents.

"Son, I saw on TV that all the major official media outlets are reporting on your news."

"You said you won a Permanent Councilor Star for Blue Star in the Interstellar Contest, extending Blue Star's national fortune for hundreds of years, and even became Administrator Candidate. I'm completely confused. Are you going to be Blue Star's global Administrator in the future?"

Upon seeing her son, Feng Yuelan immediately voiced all the questions that had been nagging at her.

"Mom, these things are all true, but being a candidate for Administrator is just a label, not just me. And it doesn't mean that just because I'm a candidate for Administrator, I have to become the Administrator of Blue Star," Chen Lie explained.

"Is everything reported in the news true?"

It's true!

Feng Yuelan felt a sense of unreality.

At this time last year, she was worried about whether her son's Blood Qi Value had exceeded 1 and whether he could get into an ordinary martial arts university. She never expected that in just one year, her son's martial arts would have reached such a level that no one would believe it.

"Mom, the main reason I came back this time is to say goodbye to you and Dad. I'm about to enter Starry Sky University Starry Sky University is in the Outer Stars, in the Central Star Region, very far from Blue Star. I probably won't be able to come back for at least six months."

"Going to Starry Sky University? That's great! When?" Chen Gequn asked.

"December 10th, one week from now," Chen Liedao.

"How is the security on Outer Stars compared to Blue Star? Will we encounter any danger?" Feng Yuelan asked.

"No, Starry Sky University is located on Canglong Star in the Central Star Region. The security on Canglong Star is no weaker than that on Blue Star. Satellite Sky Eye covers the entire planet. If there is any disturbance, the guards can arrive within thirty minutes. Any unrest will be nipped in the bud," Chen Lie explained.

"As long as you're safe. But being Outer Stars for half a year at a time, could you please write home more often?"

"I'm not sure about that yet, but it should be possible," Chen Lie replied.

"You're leaving in a week? You probably won't be able to stay home for more than a few days then, right?"

"I'm going back to Blue Star University tomorrow, so I'll stay home for the night," Chen Liedao.

"Just one night?"

Feng Yuelan knew that her son's outstanding achievements in martial arts must have come from unimaginable hard work.

"If we can't come back in six months, we'll have to spend the Old Calendar New Year on Outer Stars."

Chen Gequn said, "For martial arts practitioners, New Year's Day is not important."

Since Chen Lie can only stay home tonight, let's not bother with anything else and go to a hotel for a meal together.

"Which hotel?" Feng Yuelan asked.

"Let's go to the Chuandu Grand Banquet; the environment there is better," Chen Lie said.

"Alright, since our son says we're going to the Chuandu Grand Banquet, let's go to the Chuandu Grand Banquet. Pack your things, we'll take the airship and set off immediately."

After Feng Yuelan finished speaking, she went inside and found a disposable mask for Chen Lie.

In recent days, television stations have been broadcasting information about Chen Lie everywhere, especially in East River Province, Chen Lie's hometown.

The fact that such a renowned Blue Star has emerged from East River Province, a province historically barren of martial arts, has prompted major official media outlets in East River Province to report on Chen Lie almost 24/7. Therefore, given Chen Lie's current star status in the martial arts world, he cannot directly appear in the public eye.

After putting on a disposable mask, Chen Lie went out with his family and took an airship to the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Just ten minutes later, Chen Lie and his family arrived at the entrance of the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Chuandu Grand Banquet is the best hotel in East River Province, and it's generally impossible for ordinary people to make a reservation.

Chen Lie and his family were turned away as soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance.

The hotel security guard said, "Excuse me, gentlemen, but the Chuanshan Chamber of Commerce has booked the Chuandu Grand Banquet for today, and we are not accepting outside guests."

"Can't even I do it?"

Chen Lie took off his mask and pointed to the content on the large screen above the hotel.

On the 1,000-inch screen above the Chuandu Grand Banquet, the coronation ceremony of Chen Lie, the candidate for Administrator, was being played.

Chen Lie's Enrollment Banquet was held at the Chuandu Grand Banquet. Now that Chen Lie's achievements in martial arts are brilliant and dazzling, the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel immediately used Chen Lie's name to raise the hotel's status. The big screen broadcasts news about Chen Lie 24 hours a day, along with footage of Chen Lie's Enrollment Banquet held at the Chuandu Grand Banquet after he won the Three-Province Martial Champion.

"You're the Chen Lie from the news... the East River Province Martial Leader, the Three-Province Martial Champion Chuanzhong, the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking, the number one in the Eastern Star Region Qi and Chen Lie Blood-Qi Realm, and the candidate for Blue Star Administrator?"

The security guard rattled off a long list of titles.

Chen Lie nodded and said, "It's me. May I come in?"

"Of course! Of course! But I need to inform my supervisor, please wait a moment!"

Chen Lie hummed in agreement and waited.

Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan laughed heartily when they saw how successful their son had become.

A short while later, the security guard brought a beautiful woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a dark suit and a knee-length skirt, to the room.

The beautiful woman's eyes lit up when she saw Chen Lie, and she quickly stepped forward. "So you are Mr. Chen Lie, the number one martial artist among the younger generation of Blue Star and the newly appointed candidate for Administrator."

I am Xu Qiuwan, the hotel manager of Chuandu Grand Banquet. Welcome to our hotel! Please come in!

Chen Lie grunted in agreement and said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, let's go inside!"

"Good!"

Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan answered.

"It's Mr. and Mrs. Chen. Please forgive my poor eyesight; I didn't recognize you at first glance."

Upon hearing that these were Chen Lie's parents, Xu Qiuwan immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Hi, it's nothing."

"You two have truly mastered the art of raising such an outstanding son; it's truly enviable."

Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan felt a little embarrassed by the praise, so they stopped Xu Qiuwan from praising them further.

Xu Qiuwan led the way, saying, "Mr. Chen Lie, your visit has truly honored our hotel. Is there anything you need? We will do our best to meet your needs."

"We don't have any special needs, so please arrange a small private room," Chen Liedao.

"OK!"

Upon entering the Chuandu Grand Banquet, Chen Lie immediately saw the brightly lit text on the screen above the first floor: ' Chuanshan Eight-Province Business Gathering)'.

In the center of the hall, there is a two- or three-meter-tall statue of Chen Lie himself, with detailed information accompanying it.

Xu Qiuwan smiled and said, "Today, our hotel is hosting a business gathering of Chuanshan Eight Provinces. Among them are many business tycoons from Lanjing, Longhai, and the Jingji Province, so the hotel is implementing stricter controls today."

"What are the top 30 business giants on Blue Star doing in East River Province?" Chen Lie asked.

"Of course, we're seeking cooperation!"

"Seeking cooperation?"

The business tycoons of the top three provinces on Blue Star, some of whom also have Outer Stars businesses, far surpass the rest of Blue Star in both commerce and martial arts. What is there to discuss with the Chuanshan Eight Provinces?

"Mr. Chen Lie, you may not know this, but in our Chuanzhong Province, there is a company Changshang Pharmaceutical Group, which originated in West River Province. You must be aware of that, right?"

This company, Changshang Pharmaceutical, was extremely prescient. Before you were even the East River Martial Champion, they secured your endorsement with a mere few hundred million Star Dollar.

Now that your martial arts have been steadily improving, from the East River Martial Champion, to the Three-Province Martial Champion, to the number one person of your age on Blue Star, Planetary Administrator Candidate, you are now famous in all eighty-nine provinces of Blue Star. Naturally, Changshang Pharmaceutical has also risen in status.

Thanks to your endorsement, Changshang Pharmaceutical has rapidly grown from a small-to-medium-sized pharmaceutical company into a giant comparable to Sunlight Group.

Your company's endorsement period still has six months left, and business giants from the three provinces of Lanjing, Longhai, and Jingji are seeking cooperation with Changshang Pharmaceutical for this purpose.

"You are now the number one in both Blue Star and the Eastern Star Region. With your endorsement as a martial arts star, these business giants will not only be able to monopolize the Blue Star market, but may also be able to open up markets in other planets in the Eastern Star Region and take their business Outer Stars," Xu Qiuwan explained.

"Oh, I see." Chen Lie nodded.

He still remembered that Changshang Pharmaceutical had charged him a total of 500 million Star Dollar for the endorsement, which was for a one-year term, but now there were still six months left.

Chen Lie is currently ranked first on the Blue Star Blood-Qi Ranking. If he were to seek another endorsement, even a company offering 10 billion Star Dollar wouldn't be enough. Moreover, Chen Lie is not short of money right now. Putting all that Chen Lie, given his current status as a candidate for Administrator, he cannot accept any more corporate endorsements, as this would damage the official image of Blue Star.

The actions of the Administrator candidates, both domestically and internationally, largely represent the official stance.

"Mr. Chen Lie, would you like a representative from Changshang Pharmaceutical to come and give you their regards?"

"No need, just arrange a private room for me. We'll just have a simple meal."

"Okay, please follow me!"

Xu Qiuwan booked a superior private room for Chen Lie on the first floor and invited Chen Lie and his family inside. She then instructed the hotel kitchen to serve the finest dishes.

The Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel served dishes very quickly; Chen Lie and his family had barely sat down when one exquisite dish after another was brought to the table.

During the meal, Feng Yuelan couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lie, what's the environment like Outer Stars?"

"When you get to Starry Sky University, be sure to take good care of yourself."

"I know, Mom!"

"Also, didn't Yaoyao go to Outer Stars too? She hasn't come back for so long, your dad and I are worried about her. When you get Outer Stars, try to find out more about Yaoyao. If you have any news, send a message home."

"Yes, I will!"

While Chen Lie Chen Lie eating, the Martial Artist Association issued Chen Lie the ten spots for studying Outer Stars as a reward for his victory in the ball-grabbing game at the last meeting.

Chen Lie gave five of the ten spots to the Dongchuan Province Martial Artist Association, and of the remaining five, Chen Lie gave one to his friend Wang Hui and the rest to his parents, asking them to distribute them among the children of relatives and friends.

After glancing at the list, Chen Lie saw that the names he had designated were: Feng Shuangshuang, Feng Shanshan, Jiang Qiongqiong, Feng Zhijie, and Wang Hui.

Besides Wang Hui, three of the four people designated by the parents were from the Feng Family, which is Chen Lie's uncle's family.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. There are actually quite a few spots available. If more spots are needed, Chen Family Chen Lie can easily get a few more. When I last met Chen Ying cousins were already Third-Order Martial Artist and over 20 years old, so they were no longer eligible to study at the Leaving the Star Academy.

It's impossible to give Chen Ye a spot in the Leaving the Star competition, right? That's out of the question.

Chen Ye was injured last time, and he should still be in bed recovering.

After confirming the number of Leaving the Star, Chen Lie sent a confirmation message to the Martial Artist Association.

The meal passed quickly. During the meal, Chen Lie went out briefly to make a call to his friend Wang Hui.

The communication was established instantly.

"Oh my god, Chen Lie, you're such a busy man, how come you have time to call me?"

Wang Hui's voice came through the Communicator.

"I'm telling you something beforehand, so you won't be caught unprepared."

"What's up?"

"I've secured you a spot to study martial arts Leaving the Star for two months. Get ready; you'll probably be leaving in a few days."
