Senior Chen Belongs to Blue Star

Chapter 654 Senior Chen Belongs to Blue Star

After a while, Mu Xiyan finally looked away, glanced at the pretty girl beside her, and said indifferently, "Do you know her? Does she know you?"

"Of course I know him. I've even been to his house more than once."

"Um?"

Mu Xiyan looked at her suspiciously: "Aren't you from Lanjing? Do you have relatives in Dongchuan Province?"

"No—but my house is right next door to his."

"What?"

Mu Xiyan couldn't help but ask, "Xu Caiying? Are you serious?"

The pretty girl nodded.

As soon as Chen Lie and his team appeared on stage, a group of reporters swarmed around them.

"Mr. Chen Lie, I'm a reporter from the Beijing Times. May I ask you a few questions?"

"Mr. Chen Lie, I'm a reporter for the Blue Star University student newspaper. Could I have a few minutes of your time?"

"Mr. Chen Lie, I am from the Lanjing Youth Martial Arts Club—"

Faced with a throng of reporters vying for interviews, Chen Lie pointed to the reporter at the very front: "You, then!"

The reporter chosen by Chen Lie was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It is an honor for Mr. Chen Lie to give me this opportunity. I am a reporter from the Youth Martial Arts Channel of Blue Star TV, and my name is Li Yun'en."

The other reporters were all envious when they saw Li Yun'en being chosen by Chen Lie.

"Okay, let's begin!" Chen Lie waved his hand.

"OK!"

Lee Yoon-eun handed the microphone forward, instructing the accompanying cameramen to prepare for recording.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Lie. First of all, thank you for the contributions of the ten outstanding geniuses of the five stars in the Eastern Star Region, which helped us win this battle for the four star regions."

With Chen Lie's cooperation, reporter Li Yun'en conducted a 20-minute interview with Chen Lie, who was very cooperative.

Meanwhile, the other nine people were also being interviewed by reporters.

After the interview, Chen Lie stepped off the stage and greeted the Blue Star University mentors present.

Suddenly, Chen Lie saw a man who looked to be around fifty or sixty years old. He immediately recognized him as Ruan Liusu's maternal grandfather, Cheng Mianqian, who also served as the vice president of the Blue Star Martial Artists Association and the president of the Blue Capital Martial Artists Association.

Chen Lie immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Elder Cheng!"

Cheng Mianqian looked at Chen Lie with an undisguised admiration in his eyes: "Kid, you're pretty good. It seems my granddaughter has excellent taste."

I've heard about your contributions. You helped Blue Star become a permanent member of the Eastern Star Region and now you've seized control of the Interstellar Alliance. You deserve all of that credit.

He also won first place in the Starry Sky University Freshman Martial Arts Competition, bringing unparalleled glory and substantial benefits to Blue Star. He should get along well with Liu Su. After a few more years, when the golden age of martial arts is stable, he will hold a wedding and I will ask the governor to be your witness!

"Get along well with Liusu at Starry Sky University!"

Chen Lie nodded: "I understand!"

After giving Chen Lie some instructions, Cheng Mianqian went to greet the other four guests.

At this moment, Chen Lie realized that he was surrounded by a group of people.

Most of these people are from the other four stars of the five stars in the Eastern Region.

"Is this person Chen Lie?"

"I heard that in the battle for the Four Star Domains, he single-handedly defeated seven people from the Southern Star Domain!"

"No way? There are only ten people in the competition, right? He can take on seven people by himself?"

"He's the top freshman at Starry Sky University; he must be incredibly talented!"

Just then, Mu Xiyan, with her tea-brown hair and a bun, stepped forward.

Approaching Chen Lie, she nodded slightly: "Hello, Senior Chen, I am Mu Xiyan, a freshman from the class of 7366 at Blue Star University."

Chen Lie asked, "Mu Xiyan? Is there something you need?"

Mu Xiyan said, "I am from Lanjing. Ever since I joined the Lanjing Youth Genius Group, I have never stopped hearing about Senior Chen's name."

I've always regretted that I was a year below you, Senior Chen, and couldn't compete with you.

Until half a month ago, news came from outside the stars that Senior Chen had won the championship in the Starry Sky University freshman martial arts competition.

After receiving this news, even if I overestimated myself, I realized that Senior Chen's talent far surpassed mine.

Only then did he humbly step forward and ask Senior Chen for guidance!

"Instructions? You want to spar with me?"

Mu Xiyan simply nodded: "I have already undergone nine blood temperings. If you are willing to teach me, please suppress your strength to the same level as mine without using your true energy."

"Even if I don't use any power, you can't withstand a single move from me."

If you want to have a friendly match, find an evenly matched opponent!

"Does Senior Chen look down on me?"

Mu Xiyan frowned: "Let me introduce myself again. I am Mu Xiyan, 17 years old, and the leader of the Blue Capital Martial Arts in 7366."

Two weeks ago, the top three provinces of Beijing, Beijing-Jinan, and Longhai held a martial arts competition. Even the top players from Beijing-Jinan and Longhai combined couldn't withstand ten of my moves.

"Oh? Lan Jingwu, the leader?"

Chen Lie glanced at Mu Xiyan. No wonder she dared to come forward so confidently; she was the new champion of the Blue Martial Arts Tournament.

"Fine, I'll grant your wish. I'll stand still, without using my true energy or any strength above the Blood Refining stage. If any of your attacks can get within ten meters of me within one minute, you win," Chen Lie said calmly. "Aren't I right within ten meters of you right now? Senior Chen, you're underestimating me too much!"

Mu Xiyan said calmly, "I think we should change the question to whether you can defeat me within a hundred moves."

"Just as you said!" Chen Lie said.

"Get ready, I'm about to start!"

As soon as Mu Xiyan finished speaking, she mobilized her qi and blood, and with one palm she conjured up hundreds of palm shadows, which she then struck at Chen Lie.

"Thousand Illusionary Heavenly Shadow Palm!"

Before Mu Xiyan could even strike with her palm, a powerful surge of energy had already spread out.

Under the miraculous effect of the palm technique, more than a dozen afterimages of Mu Xiyan attacked Chen Lie from all directions.

Chen Lie remained motionless, without using any true energy, only releasing a trace of his blood and qi.

Chen Lie is now a second-tier martial artist. With each breakthrough in his True Qi martial arts, his blood and qi undergo a sublimation.

To enhance one's strength, if one were to test one's Qi and Blood value now, it would require at least several hundred thousand calories. However, once one reaches the True Qi Realm, the strength of one's Qi and Blood value can no longer be used as a standard for measuring one's strength.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Lie released a wisp of his qi and blood, the intense heat of the enhanced pure yang blood instantly radiated out.

"Boom boom boom!"

Centered on Chen Lie, a storm of qi and blood arose within a radius of several meters. Golden qi and blood filled all directions, and crackling sounds of qi and blood explosions rang out continuously.

"not good!"

Before Mu Xiyan could even land her palm, she felt an immense pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her head, and the many afterimages left by the palm technique instantly vanished.

Within the area enveloped by Chen Lie's qi and blood, Mu Xiyan felt as if she had entered a gravity chamber ten thousand times stronger than normal. Her legs trembled incessantly, and what was even more unbearable for her was the intense heat brought by the golden qi and blood storm, as if she were standing in the crater of a volcano.

Faced with such immense pressure, her blood and qi almost stopped circulating, and she was instantly pushed more than ten meters away.

Even when she was more than ten meters away, Mu Xiyan was still unable to completely shake off the pressure and was still trembling all over.

"What's going on? The pressure isn't even that high anymore, so why am I still feeling this way?"

Chen Lie was simply standing still, yet Mu Xiyan felt as if an ancient ferocious beast was baring its fangs and claws at her. From a distance, she felt like an ant looking up at the sky.

This is a tremendous suppression at the level of life.

He has actually reached such an indescribable level in the realm of Qi and blood?

The commotion drew a large crowd, mostly from the other four stars in the Eastern Star Region.

"What's going on? Is the candidate for the first governor of Blue Star in the Eastern Star Region instructing a junior?"

"Isn't that Mu Xiyan, the champion of Lan Jingwu? Is he challenging Chen Lie?"

"What challenge? The difference between these two is like heaven and earth. How can you call it a challenge? At most, it's just guidance. Mu Xiyan is asking Chen Lie for guidance!"

Mu Xiyan finally reached her limit, and she managed to say, "Senior Chen, I admit defeat!"

As Chen Lie withdrew his qi and blood, Mu Xiyan felt a sense of lightness in her body. She stepped forward and bowed slightly to Chen Lie.

"Senior Chen, I was so overconfident!"

Mu Xiyan sighed inwardly. The number one Qi and Blood Realm expert in the Eastern Star Region, a genius that comes along only once in a thousand years, was indeed beyond her comprehension.

Although she was the leader of Lan Jingwu in 7366, she was also the number one in the Qi and Blood Realm among her peers on Lan Xing.

However, in a longitudinal comparison, the other party is a genius of the Eastern Region's Five Stars, appearing once every thousand years, while she is merely a Blue Star, which produces one Blue Capital Martial Arts Champion every year. In a thousand years, that's a thousand. The two are almost incomparable.

"You don't need to underestimate yourself. At your age, to have reached this level in martial arts, you still have great potential!" Chen Lie said.

Mu Xiyan pursed her lips and said, "Senior Chen, you wouldn't give this kind of encouragement to every junior, would you?"

"Of course not. Besides, I'm not trying to motivate you. You already have great potential. If you work hard to cultivate your martial arts, you won't be much weaker than these people on stage next year."

Mu Xiyan smiled sweetly: "Then I will definitely live up to Senior Chen's expectations and strive to catch up with Senior Chen's current pace by this time next year."

Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Chen. Goodbye!"

Mu Xiyan bowed slightly to Chen Lie, then turned and left.

Chen Lie only appeared at the celebration banquet for a little over half an hour before leaving the banquet hall from backstage.

Mu Xiyan returned to the Blue Capital Young Genius Team members, and immediately some Blue Capital Genius Team members came forward to ask her questions.

"Captain Mu, did you go to ask Chen Lie for guidance?"

Mu Xiyan hummed in agreement.

"It's said that all those participating in the Four Star Domains Battle are fourth-tier martial artists. Wouldn't it be pointless for you to ask to fight them?"

"What do you know?"

Mu Xiyan gave the speaker a cold glance, and the speaker immediately shut his mouth.

At this moment, Xu Caiying asked, "Captain Mu, is Chen Lie really that powerful?"

"Of course he's amazing. He's the number one in the Eastern Star Region, a genius that appears once in a millennium. Do you think you have the right to question him?" Mu Xiyan retorted.

"I didn't question it!"

Xu Caiying was puzzled.

"It's a bit of a shame, why isn't this kind of genius from our Blue Capital? Does Dongchuan Province even deserve to be the number one in the Eastern Star Region?" a member of the Blue Capital genius group said.

Mu Xiyan reminded him, "Although Senior Chen is from Dongchuan Province, he belongs to the entire Blue Star. Dongchuan Province is just a place where Senior Chen has lived. Watch your words!"

The other members of the Blue Capital Genius Team were all taken aback.

Among the members of the Blue Capital Genius Team, there was a sweet-looking girl who remained silent; she was Yan Yueke.

At this moment, Yan Yueke listened to the voices around her praising Chen Lie and fell into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to the Blue Star Martial Arts Association.

In a training ground within the Blue Capital Martial Arts Association, he began practicing the Five Elements Secret Technique, "Yi Wood Yuan Chun Jin".

Limited by his aptitude, Chen Lie could not truly comprehend the true meaning of martial arts without mastering the Five Elements Secret Technique. It might take him half a year to succeed. The comprehension of the true meaning of martial arts is related to the cultivation of the Extreme Realm Divine Treasure, and no carelessness is allowed.

After returning from the Star Affairs Banquet Hall, Chen Lie practiced the "Yi Mu Yuan Chun Jin" for several hours. In the afternoon, Lei Jinglong arrived at the Martial Arts Association's training ground.

"Chen Lie, are you practicing your martial arts?"

Upon seeing Lei Jinglong, Chen Lie immediately stopped practicing his martial arts: "Principal Lei, is something the matter?"

"It's nothing major, just a small matter I'd like to ask for your opinion on," Lei Jinglong said.

"What's the big deal?"

Lei Jinglong said, "As you know, we just held a celebration banquet, and some of the best young martial artists from the other four stars in the Eastern Star Region were present."

At the celebration banquet just now, several young geniuses from the other four stars jointly proposed that you come forward to give a talk on extraterrestrial martial arts and, incidentally, select a few people to give some pointers.

The representatives from the other four stars who came to the banquet also came to me and Chairman Wang and made a request. We really didn't know how to refuse, so we declined for the time being.

"See if you can spare half a day tomorrow so I can give them an answer."

"Let's make it half a day then, not too long!" Chen Lie said.

"Don't worry, we know you're busy with your martial arts training, it will only take up half a day of your time at most!" Lei Jinglong said.

Chen Lie nodded.

"By the way, Chen Lie, after you finish your practice, go to the Martial Arts Association. Chairman Wang wants to have a talk with you!"

"OK!"

Upon hearing Chen Lie's reply, Lei Jinglong turned and left.

After practicing the Yi Mu Yuan Chun Jin for a few more hours in the training ground, Chen Lie went to the president's office of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association.

Inside the president's office, Wang Shou saw Chen Lie and immediately said, "Chen Lie, you've arrived?"

"President Wang, did you need something from me?"

Wang Shou said, "It's like this: you've achieved so much at Starry Sky University, but your home planet hasn't been able to help you much. I'm here to ask you what you need."

Whatever you want, we'll do everything we can to give it to you, even if it only helps you improve your martial arts a little bit.

Chen Lie thought for a moment and said, "Then how about this, give me some Spirit Nourishing Flowers."

"The Spirit-Nourishing Flower? Sure, how many do you want?" Wang Shou asked.

"I want as many as you can, the more the better!"

"The Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association should still have over 80,000 jin of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers. I'll have Principal Lei transfer another 20,000 jin from Blue Star University, giving you a total of 100,000 jin of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers. How about that?"

"10 jin? That's fine!" Chen Lie nodded.

"Besides the Spirit-Nourishing Flower, what else do you need in martial arts?"

"No need!"

Given the resources of Earth, Chen Lie doesn't have the martial arts skills he needs, so he doesn't mention them.

"In that case, I will make the decision and grant you 300 million Star Yuan Galaxy Coins for your expenses in martial arts at Starry Sky University. You are the top freshman at Starry Sky University, and I hope that with these resources, you can catch up with the top freshmen of previous years."

300 million Star Yuan Galaxy Coins—that's almost a year's fiscal surplus for Earth. Even outside of space, it would be a considerable fortune.

Chen Lie didn't refuse and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Chairman Wang!"

"Don't thank me, we should thank you. You helped Blue Star win the position of permanent member of the Council and the control of the Interstellar Alliance."

The Martial Arts Medal you brought can raise the level of martial arts on Earth by ten years. As for the 300 million Star Yuan Galaxy Coins, I still think...

I gave you too little!

However, Earth only has this much capacity; it cannot provide the same level of support for geniuses as the planets in the Ten-Star Alliance.

"That's enough!" Chen Lie asked.

Wang Shou nodded: "Principal Lei, I think I told you, right? I'll need to take up half a day of your time tomorrow to mentor the young geniuses of the five stars in the Eastern Star Region?"

"I said it!"

"Get ready, Principal Lei will be meeting with some Blue Star reporters to record this tomorrow."

"You'll be at Starry Sky University for half a year, and you'll definitely need to go back to your hometown at least once. To avoid taking up too much of your time, after you finish your instruction tomorrow, I'll instruct the Martial Arts Association to prepare a miniature starship for you, so you can get to Dongchuan Province in just half an hour."

Having not been home for half a year, Chen Lie was determined to visit his parents on this trip back to Blue Star, and it would be nice to have a starship.

After talking with Wang Shou, Chen Lie went to the Divine Sense Master Association with Wang Shou.

At the Divine Mind Master Association, Chen Lie obtained 80,000 jin of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers, and then went to Blue Star University to obtain another 20,000 jin of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers.

Chen Lie's storage bag suddenly contained 10 jin of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers, which was quite sufficient for his mental cultivation in the coming period.

After a night's rest, early the next morning, at the invitation of staff from Blue Star University, Chen Lie boarded an airship.

I went to Blue Star University.

The group went directly to the thirteenth campus of Blue Star University and entered the inner square of the thirteenth campus.

Chen Lie was very familiar with this place; Blue Star University always held its assemblies here.

At this time, the plaza inside the thirteenth campus was guarded by layers of guards. Looking around, there were at least a thousand people aged seventeen or eighteen sitting upright in the plaza, each with an expression of longing and hope on their face.

Among these people, the majority were dressed in ancient clothing and were all in the front row. These people were clearly from Crimson Flame Star, Watery Star, and Golden Field Star.

Photography and video recording equipment were set up in advance around the inner plaza.

There was a constant murmur of discussion in the square.

"This time, Chen Lie from Blue Star will be explaining martial arts to us, and it's said that he'll be randomly selecting a few people to give guidance."

"The top freshman at Starry Sky University—the first person across all eighty-plus planets in the entire star system! You absolutely must listen attentively later. If you could be selected to receive on-site guidance, that would be fantastic!"

"Chen Lie of Blue Star, the number one Qi and Blood Realm expert in the Eastern Star Region, must have profound insights into Qi and Blood Martial Arts!"

Chen Lie then went backstage with staff from Blue Star University to meet Zheng Dong, the super genius class teacher who was hosting the gathering.

After Yang greeted everyone, he prepared to go on stage.

At that moment, a broadcast rang out throughout the inner plaza.

"Hello, distinguished guests from outer space and students of Blue Star University."

"His Excellency Chen Lie, candidate for Governor of Blue Star, is about to take the stage to speak on martial arts. Please be quiet."
