After Xue Caini explained the rules for studying it, Chen Lie asked whether Blue Star University would reward him if he could restore the Crystal Pillars’ mental power.

• Tan Qihui assigned Chen Lie, Chi Naixue, and Li Xiujing to the First Genius Class after Pei Ning suggested Chen Lie might be even more talented than his test result showed.

Chen Lie examined the dwindling Crystal Pillars and discovered that an Outer Stars grandmaster had sealed them against replenishment, though he believed he could overcome the restriction. He joined Chi Naixue and Li Xiujing to comprehend the first form of the Starry Sky Blood-Condensing Art, which he found weak and of little use to himself, and told them he had succeeded.

Chen Lie and Ruan Liusu visited Cheng Miangan before heading to the Lanjing Divine Sense Master Association for Chen Lie’s First-Rank Divine Sense Master assessment. As the assessment began, Chen Lie learned that breaking Lanjing’s record could earn him a reward, but the chapter ended before he attempted the first test.

• Chen Lie and Feng Lingxi exchanged more than a thousand moves at Organ Refining Stage, remaining evenly matched until Feng Lingxi used Blood God Possession and the Profound Extreme Blood Dharma Art to drive him back.

Chen Lie faced Feng Lingxi in the final bout of his hundred consecutive battles, overcoming her bloodline-enhanced martial arts and mental attacks before defeating her. He won the duel and was transported out of the ancient temple’s Virtual Duel Space.

• Feng Lingxi activated Blood God Possession and overwhelmed Chen Lie with rainbow blood-qi attacks, but Chen Lie countered with Flood Dragon Transformation and gained the advantage.
• Feng Lingxi trapped Chen Lie in a mental illusion, but he recognized it with Gui Gold Sheep and resisted her Dark Ghost Dragon’s mental attack using Jing Wood Tapir.
• Feng Lingxi manifested the Dark Ghost Dragon, and Chen Lie manifested Jing Wood Tapir, beginning a Consciousness Spirit showdown.

• Chen Lie struck Feng Lingxi with a Flood Dragon-enhanced punch, defeating her and ending his final duel before being transported out of the Virtual Duel Space.

Chen Lie completed his hundred-match streak after defeating Feng Lingxi, whose defeat led her to wonder whether her opponent came from a different Blue Star. After the Blood God Sect confirmed that the local Blue Star had no such genius, Chen Lie returned to the Thirteenth Campus, where Qin Ruoxi approached him.
