Return to Starry Sky University

Left with no other choice, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong had to question the Blue Star Administrator on the spot.

People from the other planets in the Southern Star Region also watched with curiosity how Blue Star would handle the situation.

This matter is difficult to handle no matter how you look at it. Both Chen Lie and Yan Cheng are candidates for Administrator of Blue Star who have made great contributions. Chen Lie is currently at the height of his power and has made great contributions to Blue Star Blue Star, Yan Cheng has also made great contributions to Blue Star and has grown up, joining the Canglan Army and becoming a colonel.

If something like this happens, it would be unfair to Chen Lie, a rising star and great contributor, not to punish Yan Cheng. But if you do punish Yan Cheng, Yan Cheng just doesn't succeed.

These representatives from the Southern Star Region knew Yan Cheng well that Yan Cheng's attack on Chen Lie in this setting meant he was prepared to be punished after teaching Chen Lie a lesson. In that case, being punished would be worthwhile.

But now that Yan Cheng failed to make his move, he will definitely be resentful if he is punished again.

Before long, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong contacted the Administrator, and the advice they received was relayed to them.

Wang Shou said, "Chen Lie, the Administrator's opinion has been conveyed. Yan Cheng you, attempting to harm you. The nature of his actions is extremely malicious. The Blue Star Political Council has decided to strip him of his Administrator and detain him for two months as a warning to others."

"Did I hear that right?" Huang Yuxi said, "Stripping someone of a nominal title and detaining them for two months? Is that considered punishment?"

Your Blue Star is truly unworthy of having geniuses.

Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong's expressions stiffened. "Then, Miss, what do you think we should do?"

Yan Cheng is a colonel in the Canglan Army; we on Blue Star have no right to deal with him. Detaining him for two months is a grave offense."

"If you ask me, we should strip this person of their Blue Star citizenship, punish their entire family, expel them from Blue Star, and never allow them to re-enter."

Huang Yuxi's words made Yan Cheng's face darken. In fact, he was already extremely angry when he heard Wang Shou's punishment plan. "Chen Lie's achievements need no further explanation. He single-handedly secured the fate of Blue Star for hundreds or even thousands of years. But Yan Cheng has also made contributions to Blue Star. This suggestion from the young lady is rather unreasonable."

"Human relationships? Chen Lie possesses the potential of Greater Heavenly Human Grandmaster. As a leader of a one-star organization, he should know that in this situation, trying to please both sides will most likely result in him not pleasing either side in the end."

Those with foresight will choose the side with the greatest potential to maintain their bets on, completely abandoning the other side.

"Girl, you've gone too far. It's just a conflict between classmates, not some irreconcilable mortal enemy." Lei Jinglong quickly said, "Chen Lie, you know the situation on Blue Star. Blue Star has no authority to deal with that traitor Chang Fukun. Yan Cheng's sudden attack on you was wrong. How about this, we guarantee to strip him of his candidate for Blue Star Administrator, issue a global reprimand, and detain him for three months."

Are you satisfied with this punishment?

Chen Lie nodded. "Then let's say that!"

Chen Lie agreed to Lei Jinglong's proposal because he knew that the Yan Family was deeply rooted in Blue Star, and he was currently not strong enough. He could handle minor conflicts, but it was not time for a life-or-death struggle.

He still had to return to Starry Sky University, and his parents and relatives were all on Blue Star. Before he had the strength to completely eradicate the Yan Family, he couldn't go too far. Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Chen Lie and Yan Cheng weren't mortal enemies; it was just a dispute. How could it escalate to such an extreme? Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong comforted Chen Lie with kind words, and after confirming that Chen Lie was alright, they personally took Yan Cheng away and detained him.

There's a Yan Cheng way to handle detention. No one on Blue Star has ever detained a Canglan Army officer directly under the Saint Envoy Hall. This needs to be discussed with Yan Cheng.

"Chen Lie, shall we go?"

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Huang Yuxi immediately invited Chen Lie to return to Canglong Star together.

Chen Lie nodded. "Okay!"

Just as Chen Lie and the Huang Yuxi sisters were leaving, Qi Tai also brought Ji Yuyan over, so that she could go back to Starry Sky University with Chen Lie. After the four of them boarded the Star Boat, the Star Boat instantly took off and rushed out of Blue Star.

"Star Boat sets sail, destination: Canglong Starry Sky University in the Central Star Region..."

At that moment, a report suddenly rang out from inside the Star Boat.

After the Star Boat had been flying for a while, the voice came again. "Star Boat has entered the Interstellar Route, Accelerator activated at five times speed, estimated arrival at Canglong Star in eleven hours and fifty minutes..."

On the Star Boat, Huang Yuxi looked at Chen Lie.

"Do you have a grudge against that Yan Cheng from earlier?"

Chen Lie asked curiously, "Why is the teaching assistant asking these questions?"

"I possess a martial arts sense; I can sense the hatred and killing intent you are trying so hard to suppress."

"We do have some past grievances," Chen Lie said.

"In two years at most, you'll have the strength to kill that person. When that time comes, don't hesitate, just strike and make it a fait accompli. Your achievements speak for themselves, and your potential is immense. Blue Star won't impose any real punishment on you," Huang Yuxi said.

"Why did the teaching assistant tell me all this?" Chen Lie asked.

"Those who practice martial arts value a clear mind. As I just said, you have the potential to become a Grandmaster of the Greater Heavenly Human Grandmaster. Greater Heavenly Human Grandmaster has a lifespan of 280 years and strength equivalent to half a True Essence Martial Artist."

But to reach that state, you must achieve a pure mind and clear thoughts; otherwise, you will not be able to overcome the "Mind-Spirit Tribulation."

Chen Lie knew that Huang Yuxi was referring to the Five Declines of Heaven and Man before breaking through to the True Essence Realm, the last of the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, the Tribulation of the Mind. Overcoming the Five Declines of Heaven and Man Three Tribulations makes Greater Heavenly Human Grandmaster, possessing the physique of True Essence Martial Artist, with the Origin Force Seed transforming into the Primordial Essence Seed, and possessing the power of most of a True Essence Martial Artist.

"To overcome Mind-Spirit Tribulation, one must also have a clear mind?" Chen Lie asked.

"A clear mind and a pure heart are necessary conditions for overcoming Mind-Spirit Tribulation. The specifics depend on your attachments. If your attachments are too deep, then the difficulty of overcoming this difficulty will be ten times greater than that of ordinary people."

If your hatred and murderous intent towards someone reach a certain level, then you must eliminate them before your Mind-Spirit Tribulation, and you must eliminate them personally. Once you have the strength, you must act immediately to prevent them from dying at someone else's hands. Otherwise, your thoughts will never be so clear. As far as I know, the Canglan Army is quite dangerous; countless officers die in battle every year. I'm worried you won't have enough time."

"Thanks for the reminder, teaching assistant!"

Chen Lie noted it down. It seemed that the Yan Family's matter had to be dealt with. In his previous life, he had lived in fear for more than ten years under the Yan Family's high-pressure search and arrest. He even went to Outer Stars. Every time he thought of that experience, his heart would tremble.

The way to overcome fear is to confront it and destroy it with your own hands.

After Huang Yuxi's reminder, Chen Lie understood that even if he only considered his own future martial arts, he had to eliminate the Yan Family. Ji Yuyan and Huang Yucheng, who were sitting inside the Star Boat, ignored the conversation between Chen Lie and Huang Yuxi.

After flying for more than eleven hours, the Star Boat finally arrived at Canglong Starry Sky University.

The group disembarked from the Star Boat together. Huang Yuxi turned to Chen Liedao, "Chen Lie, you've now broken through to the Five Qi Converging at the Origin. Consolidate your skills. It's already past mid-May, and the Midterm Assessment are about to begin. If you do well, there will be a special reward."

"Okay, I understand!" Chen Lie nodded.

"Well, it's getting late now, you should go back. I'll tell you about the Midterm Assessment process in a few days," Huang Yuxi said. Chen Lie nodded and watched Huang Yuxi and her sister leave.

Chen Lie then glanced at Ji Yuyan and said, "I am Dual-Department Student in the Martial Way Department and Mental Power Department. Martial Way Department is my main discipline, and I haven't reported for duty yet after completing the certification for the Mental Power Department. I would like to ask you about the reporting process."

Ji Yuyan replied, "Then you can find me in the Department of Psychology. I'm also from the Mental Power Department at the Heaven Second Campus. I'll tell you then; Mental Power Department is my major."

"Okay, then you can go back now!"

Please approve my contact request.

Chen Lie nodded, opened his Communication Bracelet, and sure enough, he saw Ji Yuyan's contact entry request.

So Chen Lie readily agreed, and at that moment, he saw another message from Shen Jiuxi Chen Lie.

Shen Jiuxi: Old Shi asked me to tell you that if you don't go back to help him manage the Spirit Field, he will personally come and capture you.

Chen Lie calculated the time; it had been almost a month since he returned to Blue Star. When he asked the Elder True Essence for leave last time, he said it would be at most half a month, but he had indeed exceeded that time.

He glanced at the time; it was four or five in the morning, just the right time to make a trip.

After letting Ji Yuyan leave, Chen Lie went to the courtyard in the primeval forest of the Heaven Second Campus.

He took an airship and arrived at the courtyard of the True Essence Martial Artist.

Upon entering the courtyard, Chen Lie first observed the Spirit Plant and Spirit Medicine in the Spirit Field field. He discovered that the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field had hardly grown since he left.

No wonder that Elder True Essence made Shen Jiuxi urge him.

After observing the condition of the Spirit Plant, Chen Lie went to the small hut next to the Spirit Field and brought out the spiritual water, Spirit Liquid, and containers. He first prepared special spiritual water to irrigate the Spirit Field according to Spirit Field condition, and then observed the condition of each of the more than one hundred Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field, preparing Spirit Liquid for each one Spirit Plant and watering them.

This was a huge undertaking. Chen Lie hadn't even finished watering a third of the Spirit Plant when the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The Elder True Essence walked out of the house.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, he said, "Kid, you're finally back."

"Greetings, senior!"

Chen Lie put down the vessel in his hand and cupped his hands in greeting to the Elder True Essence.

"You go about your business, don't worry about me."

The True Essence Martial Artist waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Chen Lie began preparing special Spirit Liquid for the Spirit Plant once again.

"Old man, I remember you went back to participate in some battle for your home planet. Did you succeed?" the Elder True Essence asked.

"We succeeded by sheer luck."

"Well, it wasn't a waste of your month-long trip."

The Elder True Essence nodded and moved a wooden chair to sit down in front of the courtyard.

It was around six o'clock in the morning when Shen Jiuxi, carrying a black sword box, arrived in the courtyard.

Shen Jiuxi saw Chen Lie busy beside the Spirit Field and was surprised that Chen Lie had returned so quickly.

She approached the Elder True Essence and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Old Shi."

The Elder True Essence nodded and said, "Little girl from the Shen Family, I'm not trying to be mean, but while your talent in martial arts is passable, you're really incapable of managing the Spirit Field. Look at what you've done in the Spirit Field after a month of being entrusted with them!"

"This... I am foolish, please forgive me, senior!"

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Just ask that kid if he still needs you."

"If he needs your help, you can come every day. If not, don't come anymore!" said the Elder True Essence.

Shen Jiuxi's expression changed; she hadn't expected that Chen Lie would be able to influence her future.

"Yes!"

Shen Jiuxi bowed to the Elder True Essence, then came to Chen Lie. Without Chen Lie's instruction, she bent down to help move the vessel of Spirit Liquid. Given Shen Jiuxi's arrogant attitude on Blue Star, Chen Lie deliberately spilled a cup of Spirit Liquid and immediately pointed at her nose to scold her.

What's wrong with you? You're just getting in the way and slowing things down.

Go home, we don't need you here!

Shen Jiuxi was taken aback. How could she not know that Chen Lie was deliberately ostracizing her?

"You..."

"What do you mean, 'you'? Spirit Plant is delicate work, and you're clumsy, you'll only make things worse. Don't come starting tomorrow!"

Faced with Chen Lie's harsh criticism, Shen Jiuxi's anger surged up instantly.

But this wasn't a place for her to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to suppress her rage and look at Chen Lie with pleading eyes.

Chen Lie remained unmoved. After reprimanding Shen Jiuxi, he said, "Alright, stop causing trouble and get out of here!"

Shen Jiuxi took a deep breath and had no choice but to step aside.

Seeing this, the Elder True Essence stood up and said, "Little girl of the Shen Family, since this boy doesn't need you, you don't need to come anymore. At your age, you should be practicing martial arts properly. What are you doing always hanging around this old man's courtyard?"

"Senior, I..."

"No need to say anything more, you can leave!"

Shen Jiuxi bit her lip, said "Yes," and had no choice but to turn and leave.

After Shen Jiuxi left, Chen Lie spent several more hours preparing the Spirit Liquid and watering all the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field.

All the Spirit Plant in the Spirit Field have been completely renewed, and their growth stages are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After doing all this, Chen Lie moved all the Spirit Liquid, vessels, and spiritual water back to the room next door.

The Elder True Essence arrived at the Spirit Field, observed for a moment, and said, "Young man, your technique is quite good, much better than that little girl from the Shen Family!" "Senior, you flatter me!"

"Have you finished taking care of them for today?"

"Yes!"

"Let's continue tomorrow!"

After finishing with the Spirit Field, Chen Lie left the Elder True Essence's courtyard.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, Chen Lie saw Shen Jiuxi waiting in the distance.

Chen Lie ignored her and left directly.

"Wait!"

Shen Jiuxi stopped Chen Lie, gritting her teeth as she asked, "What do you want?"

"What do you mean, how about it?"

What would it take for me to help you?

"Help me out? Are you kidding me? Aren't you a member of the Upper Three Stars family? How can you be my assistant?"

Shen Jiuxi took a deep breath and said, "State your conditions. What do you want?"

"Weren't you pretty arrogant? Why don't you just bring your Star-Heaven Divine Warship over here and fire a few shots at us, that would be fine, wouldn't it?"
