Warship, the 6th Legion of the Interstellar Allied Forces

Huang Yuxi said calmly, "It's impossible to be wrong. Chen Lie's foundation at the Five Qi Converging to Origin Realm is already solid. The next step is to unlock the Five Divine Treasuries. In my opinion, he has the Hidden Dragon Rankings."

"Top 20 on the Hidden Dragon Rankings? How is that possible?"

Huang Yucheng was incredulous. Out of so many geniuses on Canglong Star, how many could actually make it onto the Hidden Dragon Rankings?

Moreover, the top 20 of the Hidden Dragon Rankings is almost entirely monopolized by Canglong Star. Very few of the other Ten-Star Alliance planets make it into the Hidden Dragon Rankings 20.

"Have you forgotten? Most of the winners of the Starry Sky University freshman martial arts competition made it into the top twenty of the Hidden Dragon Rankings."

That's only the majority, not the whole picture.

Furthermore, the top 20 geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Rankings in previous years were all from the Ten-Star Alliance, with prestigious backgrounds and powerful backing.

"Being ahead for a while doesn't mean you can stay ahead. Martial arts become increasingly difficult as you progress, and the resources required for each stage are enormous," Huang Yucheng said.

Huang Yuxi said, "If we follow your logic, Chen Lie wouldn't have been able to win first place in the New Student Martial Arts Grand Competition. A person's ultimate martial arts achievement depends on their own circumstances."

What happened?

Huang Yucheng scoffed at this. Wasn't that just luck? Could luck really allow someone from a remote planet to keep pace with the top geniuses of Canglong Star?

As soon as the guests from the Four-Sided Star Domain entered, the staff of the Chuandu Grand Banquet Outer Stars greeted and seated them.

The presence of hundreds of Outer Stars guests left Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan at a loss.

Chen Gequn approached Lei Jinglong and said, "Principal Lei, we have so many Outer Stars. We don't even know who they are. How should we entertain them?"

"Mr. Chen, don't worry, you only need to entertain your relatives and friends. Leave these Outer Stars guests to us!" Lei Jinglong said.

Chen Gequn nodded and went to entertain the family's guests.

Wang Shou gathered the guests from the Four-Sided Star Domain together and instructed the staff of the Chuandu Grand Banquet to treat them well.

A representative from the Western Star Region said, "I didn't expect Blue Star to invite so many people; the banquet is quite a grand affair."

Qi Tai from Langya Star in the Southern Star Region said, "It's not easy for such an outstanding martial arts genius to appear on Blue Star. Naturally, we should hold a grand celebration and give the genius the highest honor."

This Chen Lie has made great contributions to Blue Star. He secured Blue Star's Permanent Councilor Star position in the Eastern Star Region and the current Interstellar Allied Forces Command Authority the Four-Sided Star Domain Interstellar Alliance.

If my Langya Star could produce such a genius, I would have built an even bigger event than this!

At this moment, Ji Yuyan, a second-year student at Starry Sky University and one of the representatives from the Southern Star Region, said, "Dean Qi, I heard that this Chen Lie is just Martial Arts Student from an ordinary family on Blue Star. He was mediocre before the age of 17, but in less than two years, his martial arts have made rapid progress."

Is this true? Or is it just fake news deliberately released by Blue Star?

Did you watch the Permanent Council Star Contest in the Eastern Star Region?

"Back then, Chen Lie was a Qi and Blood Martial Artist. What about now?" Qi Tai retorted.

"Right now, he's at least at the Peak Fourth-Order Qi Gathering Realm, and he's an Ultimate Realm Martial Artist!" Ji Yuyan said.

"Then why would you ask such a question?" Qi Tai said, "You are also a top genius of Langya Star. It took you more than a year to go from a Qi and Blood Martial Artist to the current Fourth-Order Qi Gathering Realm, while Chen Lie only took half a year. His martial arts have risen strongly since he was 17 years old. What's impossible about that?"

"This is just too... unbelievable."

Ji Yuyan pursed her lips and said, "Then why wasn't he famous before he was 17?"

"There is something in this world called Enlightenment. You've probably heard of it. An ordinary person can make rapid progress in martial arts after Enlightenment, rivaling the top martial arts geniuses in the entire star field."

Enlightenment?

People from other star systems also murmured among themselves.

At this moment, the representative from the Northern Star Region asked Qi Tai, "Dean Qi, Blue Star invited us all at once; surely it wasn't just for the banquet?"

"Of course not, we definitely need to discuss the overall coordination of the Interstellar Allied Forces 19th Legion," Qi Tai said with certainty.

I think so too!

Representatives from the other star systems nodded in agreement.

"The emergence of Chen Lie on Blue Star seems to have triggered a surge of national fortune over a millennium. A weak planet in the Eastern Star Region has grown from small to large, becoming the leader among the 28 inhabited planets in the Four-Sided Star Domain. Even disregarding other factors, it is worthwhile to invite us here."

The crowd echoed their sentiments, while simultaneously lamenting why such a genius hadn't been born on their planet.

Chen Lie stood outside the Chuandu Grand Banquet for a long time.

Suddenly, he saw a bright-eyed, white-toothed, and sweet-looking girl walk in.

The bright-eyed, white-toothed girl approached Chen Lie with a sweet smile and said softly, "Hello, senior!"

This young girl is none other than Zhu Yining, the Three-Province Martial Champion in the Class of 7366 of the Galactic Calendar.

Chen Lie said to Zhu Yining, "Okay, you go in first!"

"OK!"

Zhu Yining nodded and entered the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

A moment later, Chen Lie saw a familiar face enter.

This person was Ren Hongguang, a regular class teacher at Chen Liewu High School.

"Professor Ren, you've arrived?" Chen Lie stepped forward to greet him.

Ren Hongguang nodded and said, "Chen Lie, not only did I come, but I also brought one of your friends."

"My friend?" Chen Lie asked, puzzled.

At that moment, a stunningly beautiful woman with a cool and aloof demeanor walked over from behind.

She went straight up to Chen Lie and said, "Hello, Chen Lie!"

"Ji Lingxuan?"

Chen Lie was stunned, because the aloof and stunningly beautiful woman in front of him was none other than Ji Lingxuan.

"Ji, what brings you here?"

Ji Lingxuan pursed her red lips. "Am I not allowed to attend Chen Lie's banquet?"

"No, I meant you should be at Starry Sky University."

"I received your invitation while I was at Starry Sky University, which is why I rushed back."

"When I got to your house, no one was home, so I had to go to your high school and have your teacher bring me here," Ji Lingxuan said.

"My invitation was sent to a group, mainly for friends Outer Stars. I didn't mean to take up your time."

"But I'm already here." Ji Lingxuan retorted, "Don't Chen Lie's classmates welcome me?"

"Of course, of course you're welcome!"

As Chen Lie spoke, he carefully examined Ji Lingxuan.

Suddenly, he sensed that the expansion of Ji Lingxuan's source of power was not the power of True Qi, but some other unknown power.

Ji Lingxuan's martial arts realm is exactly the same as Chen Lie's, both being at the Mid-Second-Order Roaming Qi Realm. However, another power within her body is by no means inferior to Chen Lie's current strength.

Unable to resist, Chen Lie once again used his divine sense to probe Ji Lingxuan.

But Ji Lingxuan's expression changed slightly. "Chen Lie?"

Chen Lie immediately realized that Ji Lingxuan had sensed something, so he quickly withdrew his divine sense. "Sorry, Ji, it's just a habit."

Ji Lingxuan seemed relieved. "You can ask me anything you want to know, but you can't do this."

Chen Lie was surprised. How could Ji Lingxuan's senses be so sharp? He secretly probed with his divine sense, and even Seventh Tier Divine Sense Master might not be able to detect it, but Ji Lingxuan discovered it instantly.

However, upon reflection, Chen Lie wasn't surprised by Ji Lingxuan's background.

Ji Lingxuan's mother must be a very important person, living in seclusion on Blue Star. As her daughter, Ji Lingxuan could not possibly be an ordinary person.

"Okay, I understand. I'll be more careful next time."

"Next time?"

Remembering her mother's words, Ji Lingxuan immediately shook her head. "There can't be a next time!"

Just now, Chen Lie vaguely sensed a deep blue, eerie Hexagram Star Rune Pattern on Ji Lingxuan's body.

Seeing Ji Lingxuan's attitude, Chen Lie knew that this must be one of her secrets, so Chen Lie repeatedly assured her.

"Professor Ren, student Ji, please come in!"

At Chen Lie's invitation, Ren Hongguang and Ji Lingxuan entered the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

Soon, it was 11:00 AM.

On Blue Star's side, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong were talking.

At this moment, Mu Tai, the deputy director of the Interstellar Allied Forces's recruitment team, arrived and said, "Chairman Wang, Principal Lei, so far, only two groups of people from Outer Stars have arrived."

"Two groups it is fine. The students at Starry Sky University are all busy with martial arts, and not everyone can find the time to come," Wang Shou said.

"Then let's get ready and begin..."

"We won't make the decisions; we'll respect the wishes of the host family!" Lei Jinglong said.

"Good!"

Mu Tai nodded.

On the other side, Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan hosted a feast for all their relatives and friends.

He was slightly taken aback when he saw Heavy Rain Star and her two companions with Huang Yuxi and her sister.

"Are you Chen Lie's friends?" Feng Yuelan asked as she stepped forward.

Qiao Xuanxi knew this was Chen Lie's mother and said, "Hello, Auntie, we are Chen Lie's classmates from Starry Sky University, from Heavy Rain Star in the Central Star Region."

My name is Qiao Xuanxi, and this is Hou Yutan Nie Cheng.

Hou Yutan and Nie Cheng also greeted her, "Hello, Auntie!"

"Hello, hello, so you're Chen Lie's classmates."

Chen Lie has rarely been away from home and is unaware of the dangers outside. I will need your help to look after him at Starry Sky University.

Upon hearing that these three people were her son's classmates from Starry Sky University, Feng Yuelan quickly gave them instructions.

Qiao Xuanxi looked puzzled. Didn't Chen Lie know how dangerous things were outside? Why did this sound so out of place?

Given the environment of the Divine Source Ancient Star, how could Chen Lie, who dared to take the initiative, be a pushover?

She had initially thought that Blue Star society was unstable and that Chen Lie had been tempered early on, but now it seemed that Blue Star and Heavy Rain Star were not so different. Perhaps it was something they were born with.

Hou Yutan said, "Auntie, you're too kind. Chen Lie's talent is unparalleled at Starry Sky University; it's not our place to take care of him."

Feng Yuelan took Hou Yutan's modesty as a sign, and after responding, she looked at Huang Yuxi sister. "Are you also Chen Lie's classmates?"

Qiao Xuanxi quickly introduced, "Auntie, this is Huang Yuxi, the Martial Arts Assistant Instructor from Chen Lie Starry Sky University!"

"Teaching assistant?" Feng Yuelan asked, puzzled.

"Martial Arts Assistant Instructor" means that in addition to the instructor, the assistant instructor can guide students in martial arts, which is equivalent to half an instructor.

But not everyone receives instruction from Martial Arts Assistant Instructor.

"Tutor?"

Feng Yuelan immediately understood and quickly said, "Hello, Assistant Instructor Huang, thank you for teaching Chen Lie!"

Huang Yuxi simply said, "You're too kind. Chen Lie has exceptional talent, and I haven't taught him anything."

Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong, who was sitting to the side, immediately perked up.

She knew perfectly well how useless Chen Lie used to be. The reason he was able to suddenly transform himself was because of the guidance of a powerful figure from Outer Stars.

If my son could receive the same guidance, he would definitely be much better than Chen Lie.

Chang Guirong understood what Qiao Xuanxi had just said. The dignified and beautiful woman in her twenties in front of her was a teaching assistant at Starry Sky University.

Knowing she couldn't miss this opportunity, she suddenly grabbed Chen Ye and squeezed in front of Feng Yuelan.

Chang Guirong smiled obsequiously and said, "Hello, Professor Huang, I am Chen Lie's Second Aunt."

Huang Yuxi nodded and replied with a "Hello," then explained, "I'm not a mentor."

Chang Guirong any of that and quickly pulled Chen Ye in front of her.

"Mentor Huang, you are a very important figure from Outer Stars. Could you please take a look at my son's talent and perhaps offer some guidance on his martial arts?"

Chen Ye was also extremely nervous. This outstandingly handsome instructor, Huang, looked to be only in his early twenties, not much older than his cousin Chen Ying. Could this be a big shot from Outer Stars?

Huang Yuxi could tell at a glance that Chen Ye's martial arts were superficial, his foundation in the Qi and True Qi Blood-Qi Stage was almost zero, and his cultivation of true Qi was also a mess. He was only at the First-Order Qi-Nourishing Realm, and his True Qi was mixed up. It would be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Fourth-Order Qi Gathering Realm in the future.

Logically, these should be Chen Lie's cousins, so how come they look so different?

Under Chang Guirong's expectant gaze, Huang Yucheng stepped forward with her arms crossed.

"Even First-Order Martial Artist's aura is so unstable."

"His martial arts are so bad, why would he need my sister to instruct him?"

"What?"

Chang Guirong immediately changed. They actually said her son was useless in martial arts?

Huang Yuxi nodded and said, "His martial arts foundation is weak, he has almost no accumulation of Blood-Qi Stage, and his True Qi is mixed. It will be extremely difficult for him to break through to the Fourth-Order Qi Gathering Realm in the future."

Martial arts, when cultivated to the highest level, cannot be established without destruction.

If I were to offer advice, I would suggest he discontinue his practice and start over, making up for any deficiencies in his foundation before his physical constitution is fully formed. Only in this way can he achieve greater success.

"Make my son lose all his cultivation and start over? Are you kidding me?"

Chang Guirong's voice suddenly rose. "How long will it take to recover from losing one's cultivation?"

I thought the Outer Stars experts were incredibly skilled, but it turns out they're just like this?

Huang Yucheng immediately retorted, "Then what do you want? Your martial arts have deteriorated to this state; even a god couldn't save you if you didn't dissipate your power and start over!"

Chang Guirong angrily said, "If you can't give guidance, then don't! You're telling us to give up our cultivation and start all over again? Are you trying to fool us?"

If all the instructors at Starry Sky University are like this, readily forcing students to retake courses, wouldn't they all be just fame-seekers?

"Are you kidding me? You're the one who barged up to me asking my sister for advice, as if we're the ones who want to give you pointers!"

Faced with Huang Yucheng's counterattack, Chang Guirong did not back down and shouted back.

The argument quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.

The guests from Four-Sided Star Domain were puzzled, and many eyes turned towards them.

In such a setting, how could anyone start arguing?

Mu Tai, who was maintaining order at the banquet, immediately turned serious and summoned the guards, demanding, "What's going on? Guests from Four-Sided Star Domain are present, and there are even guests from the Central Star Region. Why is there such a commotion inside?"

"Director Mu, our guards have not allowed anyone to break in. Anyone who comes is either a distinguished guest from Outer Stars or has Admission Letter," the general replied.

"How can we allow something like this to happen in this kind of situation? Are we going to make ourselves a laughingstock among Outer Stars? You people not only have the duty to guard, but also to maintain order and the atmosphere!"

After giving a reprimand, Mu Tai quickly stepped forward.

Lei Jinglong and Wang Shou also stepped forward.

They were also puzzled; how could anyone argue in such a setting?

Chen Lie also came back from outside.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Huang Yucheng immediately said, "Hey, Chen Lie, my sister abandoned her training time before the True Dragon Rankings competition to attend this lousy banquet of yours, and this is the person you brought to disgust us?"

"What happened?" Chen Lie asked.

Huang Yucheng then recounted the whole story to Chen Lie.

After hearing the explanation, Chen Lie nodded and said, "I understand!"

He glanced back and saw Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong.

These people may have been hesitant to act immediately because of Chang Guirong's relationship with their family.

Chen Liedao, "President Wang, Principal Lei, and Director Mu, these two are guests of Canglong Star. Now that they have been offended, you should handle this according to your own discretion!"

Mu Tai and the others understood immediately and arranged for guards to "invite" Chang Guirong and Chen Ye out.

After doing all this, Mu Tai dispersed the crowd.

Chen Lie said to Huang Yuxi, "Sorry, teaching assistant!"

Huang Yuxi simply nodded; she had certainly learned something new today.

Huang Yucheng retorted disdainfully, "How can your relative be so bizarre?"

"Haven't we already been asked to leave?" Chen Liedao.

What just happened made the people of the Four-Sided Star Domain laugh, but no one mentioned it again.

Just then, a black aurora streaked in from beyond the sky.

The black aurora moved faster and faster, and in the blink of an eye it became much clearer, revealing itself to be a massive black Battleship-style Star Boat.

The Warship sped up, revealing a set of characters on their Warship: ' Canglan Star Domain Interstellar Allied Forces 6th Legion '.

To prepare for the banquet, Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel replaced its walls with transparent crystal two days in advance.

At that moment, everyone saw the huge black Warship.

"That's... Warship from the 6th Legion Interstellar Allied Forces?"

"The 6th Legion Interstellar Allied Forces? Isn't that Interstellar Allied Forces under the command of Canglong Star? How come it's here?"

Representatives from Four-Sided Star Domain were shocked.

Inside the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong exchanged a glance, both showing a hint of joy on their faces.

Was that Chen Lie's classmate who came? He even traveled in a Battleship-style Star Boat used by the Interstellar Allied Forces. This was enough to make Blue Star flex its muscles in front of the Four-Sided Star Domain and intimidate many planets in those Four-Sided Star Domain.

So the two of them hurriedly left the Chuandu Grand Banquet to prepare to welcome him.

Soon, the Warship came to a stop over the Chuandu Grand Banquet and slowly descended.

The Warship landed with a "boom," and soon the hatch on one side of the Warship opened, and a team of Interstellar Allied Forces soldiers, Eighth-Order Martial Artist, stepped off the Warship.

There were more than thirty Grandmaster Martial Artist and soldiers.

After the Grandmaster Martial Artist emerged, two more Ninth-Order Grandmaster disembarked from the Warship.

Immediately afterwards, a beautiful young woman in a blue dress stepped off the Warship.
