Chapter 217 Gathering of Three Provinces
Chen Lie walked into the forging ground and saw two extreme force testing instruments suitable for testing forces exceeding ten thousand kilograms.
So he went to the strength testing device and threw a punch at the target with all his might.
boom!"
After a loud bang, the strength testing device instantly displayed a value.
Strength value: 11194.27 jun.
"With a punch of 300,000 jin, those ordinary third-tier martial artists on Blue Star with 200 kilocalories of Qi and blood are no match for me. In fact, I am not much inferior to fourth-tier martial artists."
Chen Lie was a martial artist with 200 calories of Qi and Blood in his previous life, so he naturally knew the strength of ordinary martial artists on Blue Star.
Just then, Chen Lie suddenly heard applause behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Song Yixuan clapping her hands as she walked towards him.
"Impressive, my martial arts champion! I remember your Qi and Blood value was over 2300 a few days ago, so you must have just entered the extreme realm of Qi and Blood as fluid as liquid. Upon entering this realm, you already have 4.7 times the Qi and Blood value. Once you complete the Tendon Refining..."
When you start refining your bones and internal organs, you might be able to reach six times your current strength.
Six times the strength—that's something only martial arts geniuses from the top ten provinces of Earth can achieve.
"Oh? The geniuses from the top ten provinces of Earth can all reach six times the strength value?"
"Most people can reach six times their strength before and after refining their essence. If you want to reach six times your strength right after breaking through to the extreme realm, I'm afraid only martial arts geniuses from beyond the stars can do it," Song Yixuan said.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "What brings you to the training grounds today, Song?"
"Look at what you're saying. I'm a member of the provincial youth genius team now. Isn't it normal for me to come here to practice martial arts?" Song Yixuan retorted.
"That's quite normal." Chen Lie didn't argue with Song Yixuan and nodded in agreement.
"Um—Chen Lie, the 'Starry Sky Body Refining Technique' you exchanged for last time, one section is about bone refining..."
There are some parts of the chapter on the turning point of purification that I don't quite grasp. Could you explain them to me?
"Can."
Chen Lie nodded, and he and Song Yixuan found a cultivation room to begin their explanation.
The "Starry Sky Body Refining Technique" was originally a patchwork of third-rate body refining methods from the Central Galaxy Empire, cobbled together by Chen Lie. It lacked coherence, with even a single method of refining the genitals derived from several other body refining techniques. Unless one possessed exceptional talent, cultivating this body refining technique would inevitably be fraught with difficulties and setbacks.
While Chen Lie was explaining the whole thing, Song Yixuan quickly asked questions about the parts she didn't understand, and Chen Lie answered them one by one.
Judging from Chen Lie's understanding of the "Starry Sky Body Refining Technique," Song Yixuan was certain that Chen Lie had a master guiding him.
She had consulted her elders about these points of confusion but had not gained any insights. Chen Lie, on the other hand, was able to explain the essentials so clearly, which meant that he must have been taught everything by a master.
An hour later, Chen Lie had finished speaking, and Song Yixuan took the initiative to thank him: "Chen Lie, thank you so much this time. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
"Don't mention it, didn't you give me an extra thousand catties of Spirit-Nourishing Flowers?"
Song Yixuan chuckled and said, "What's the big deal?"
"If you don't have any more questions, I'll be going now."
"You've helped me so much, how about I treat you to a meal?" Song Yixuan suggested.
"No need, the restaurant is convenient," Chen Lie said.
"Are you sure? I'm treating you to a meal made with thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, you know?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Chen Lie changed his mind immediately when he heard that it was a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine meal.
Song Yixuan smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay."
Soon, Chen Lie and Song Yixuan left the training ground and arrived at the square where the airships were parked.
Chen Lie arrived today in his newly purchased airship, and Song Yixuan also has her own airship.
Seeing that a conflict was about to occur while riding the airship, Song Yixuan took the initiative to suggest, "Did Chen Lie's family just buy an airship?"
"Then let's take your airship there; it'll be a good opportunity for a test drive."
"Okay, come on up then."
Chen Lie opened the airship and let Song Yixuan board.
After everyone boarded the airship, Chen Lie asked, "Where are we going?"
"Hmm—let's go to the Changdong Hotel in the city. I'll have someone deliver the elixir to the hotel now so they can prepare it on-site."
"it is good."
Although Chen Lie didn't know where the Changdong Hotel that Song Yixuan mentioned was, the airship was equipped with voice navigation and intelligent driving. After issuing a command, the airship sped towards the Changdong Hotel.
About ten minutes later, the airship landed at the Changdong Hotel.
After entering the hotel, Song Yixuan found a private room. Before they even arrived, the thousand-year-old medicinal herb was delivered to the hotel for cooking.
Before long, a medicinal meal made from a thousand-year-old herb was served.
"Chen Lie, please!"
Song Yixuan raised her little hand and invited Chen Lie to start eating with a smile.
Chen Lie didn't stand on ceremony, but before eating, he asked, "What type of spiritual medicine is this?"
"The Azure Bone Bamboo is an extremely rare, thousand-year-old spiritual herb used for body refinement."
After use, it can stabilize the purity of Qi and blood, making it less likely for Qi and strength to drop, and it is also beneficial for future bone strengthening and tendon strengthening.
"Oh, I see."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie stopped hesitating and started eating immediately.
A thousand-year-old elixir that can stabilize the purity of Qi is an extremely rare resource that is hard to come by, and it can save Chen Lie from the trouble of accidentally dropping his Qi value.
In less than ten minutes, Chen Lie ate more than 80% of the large portion of the medicinal beast meat meal.
Song Yixuan's lips twitched, and she said, "Chen Lie, you're being too impolite! Guess how many bites I just ate?"
"Didn't you say you were going to treat me to a meal? If you're going to treat someone to a meal, you should be prepared to treat them to a meal."
Besides, someone like you, a rich kid, wouldn't even consider a mere thousand-year-old medicinal herb the most important thing, would you?
"Who told you I'm from a rich family?" Song Yixuan retorted.
"Oh? Isn't that right?"
"Of course not. Although I have never worried about cultivation resources since I was a child, I am far inferior to the real nobles on Earth. I have never dared to waste a single bit of resources on martial arts cultivation."
After Song Yixuan finished speaking, she looked at Chen Lie and said, "Actually, you are the one who is truly remarkable. With your family background, you have won the martial arts championship in a province all the way. If it weren't for your family background holding you back, you would be no worse than the martial arts geniuses of the top three provinces on Blue Star."
"The world of Earth has never been fair. The top martial artist in a remote, impoverished province would only be considered a genius if placed in one of the top three provinces."
"Isn't a barely-there genius still a genius?" Chen Lie retorted.
"You'll understand when you get to Blue Star University. Do you know how many geniuses from the top three provinces in Blue Star's martial arts index have reached the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm? There are at least two hundred."
"Once you arrive at Blue Star University, where martial arts geniuses from all eighty-nine provinces around the world have gathered, the martial arts champions from impoverished provinces suddenly seem rather ordinary. Can you handle such a huge difference?"
"According to you, once they get into Starry Sky University, who among the people on a barren planet like Blue Star could possibly handle such a stark contrast?"
"I was just saying. It's a good thing that you can calm down in advance," Song Yixuan said.
Chen Lie echoed the answer, his mouth never stopping, and he ate ninety percent of the thousand-year-old medicinal herb meal by himself.
Song Yixuan finally sighed and said, "Never mind, I should just give you the elixir directly."
I ate less than a tenth of a meal made with a thousand-year-old medicinal herb.
After finishing their meal, Chen Lie and Song Yixuan left the Changdong Hotel. He took Song Yixuan directly back to the training ground, to where her airship was parked.
During this meal, Chen Lie clearly sensed Song Yixuan's strong desire to befriend him; otherwise, she would have offered him a thousand-year-old medicinal herb.
Back home, Chen Lie received a message on his communicator from the "Green Bubble Group of Youth Geniuses in the Province".
Furuta: "Students, meet at the Martial Arts Association Plaza at 8:00 AM tomorrow."
"Following our genius group's steward Jiang Xiaodong, we're heading to Yunchuan to attend the gathering of genius groups from three provinces."
Upon seeing the message, Chen Lie replied directly with "Received".
The next morning, Chen Lie arrived at the Martial Arts Association's square and saw many members of the Genius Group waiting there, all wearing the same Genius Group uniform.
Chen Lie walked into the crowd, and Wei Ranran immediately stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Brother Chen Lie, you're here?"
Chen Lie nodded and hummed in agreement.
"Brother Chen Lie, why aren't you wearing the team uniform?"
"You're the captain of the genius team now, you should set a good example."
"I forgot, maybe next time," Chen Lie said.
"Chen Lie, you've finally arrived. We've been waiting for you."
At this moment, Luo Zhixun stepped out from the crowd.
Chen Lie glanced at Luo Zhixun and said, "Congratulations."
Luo Zhixun asked curiously, "What's the joy about?"
"You've reached the pinnacle of Qi and blood being as smooth as liquid, isn't that something to be congratulated on?" Chen Lie asked rhetorically.
"You actually noticed that I've reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood?"
Luo Zhixun was puzzled. Her father hadn't been able to tell at first glance that her martial arts had reached the pinnacle, but Chen Lie had been able to tell at a glance.
"Have you forgotten? I am a mind-controller."
"I see."
Luo Zhixun nodded, though her surprise remained undiminished.
Are the eyesight of a Divine Sense Master really stronger than that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster? No wonder the Blue Star government values Divine Sense Masters so much.
"? Brother Chen Lie is actually a psychic?"
Wei Ranran, who was standing next to her, seemed to have heard some incredible news.
The top martial arts champion in the province, coupled with the identity of a Divine Sense Master, is just too legendary, isn't it?
"Chen Lie is not only a spiritual master, but his spiritual talent is probably no less than that of martial arts talent," Luo Zhixun said.
"Wow, Brother Chen Lie, you're amazing!"
How did Uncle Chen and Aunt Feng raise you to be so capable?
Wei Ranran knew that Chen Lie's family background wasn't good, but that only highlighted Chen Lie's talent.
Which of the top members of the province's group of young geniuses is not from a privileged background?
Chen Lie, despite coming from an ordinary family, was able to outshine a host of geniuses from wealthy and powerful backgrounds, making the Dongchuan version of Ji Lingxuan truly deserving of the title.
Just then, Jiang Xiaodong, the leader of the genius team, began to shout: "Everyone is here now, let's start lining up to board the airship."
After Jiang Xiaodong's voice rang out, all the members lined up and boarded the large airship parked in the middle of the Martial Arts Association square.
Once everyone was on board, the airship immediately closed its hatch and took off.
On the airship, Deacon Jiang Xiaodong is now in the middle.
"Students, this gathering of geniuses from the three provinces is hosted by Bao Yongchai, the inspector of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association headquarters."
This gathering will be filmed and reported by television reporters from Yunnan, Sichuan, and Shaanxi provinces. The main purpose is to set the date for the martial arts competition among the three provinces and other related matters.
Since the winner of the previous Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament was a member of the Yunchuan Province Genius Team, this year's tournament can only be held in Yunchuan.
The province that wins first place in this year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament will determine the host province for the next tournament.
"The specific time for this year's Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament will be discussed by the martial arts champions of the three provinces' genius teams."
It was a discussion between Chen Lie from our province, Ji Lingxuan from Yunnan, and Gu Yang from Sichuan.
So if anyone has any requests, they can inform Chen Lie in advance so that Chen Lie can discuss them with Gu Yang.
Ji Lingxuan negotiated and discussed the matter.
"With the geniuses from the three provinces gathering, students should be prepared to face challenges from the other two provinces. Of course, if you are strong enough, you can also turn the tables and challenge them."
In addition, Bao Yongchai, the inspector of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association, might test the martial arts leader or a few of the strongest members, so everyone should be prepared.
"When we arrive in Yunchuan, as soon as we disembark from the airship, television reporters will be filming us. Students, please be mindful of your manners."
After explaining the details, Jiang Xiaodong returned to his seat at the front of the airship.
Chen Lie looked at the scenery outside the airship window, a thoughtful expression on his face.
The airship operated for about an hour before the intelligent announcements on board began to play.
"Entering the border of Yunnan Province."
"Yunchuan, the most beautiful of the three rivers, welcomes you to Yunchuan Province."
"We've arrived in Yunchuan."
At this moment, Wei Ranran, who was sitting in the seat in front of Chen Lie, turned around and said, "Brother Chen Lie, I grew up in Yunchuan almost since I was a child, so I know Yunchuan very well."
After we get together, I'll take you to see some fun places in Yunchuan, okay?
"We'll see," Chen Lie said.
"Martial arts training requires a balance of intensity and relaxation. You can't practice like an ascetic, spending more than ten hours a day for months on end. If you do that, your progress in martial arts might not be as fast as if you relaxed a bit!"
Wei Ranran thought Chen Lie didn't want to delay his martial arts training, so she tried to persuade him.
Chen Lie hummed in response but did not reply further.
Not long after, Chen Lie felt the airship land.
Jiang Xiaodong, the group leader, immediately stood up and said, "Students, we have arrived at Yunchuan. We will follow the formation, with Chen Lietong at the front, and the rest of you will disembark from the airship in the order of your martial arts competition rankings."
"You'll appear on camera as soon as you get off the airship."
Under Jiang Xiaodong's arrangement, Chen Lie was in the first position, and all the members of the genius team were then lined up.
At this moment, the airship's hatch opened, and Chen Lie, the cheapest among them, was the first to step off.
Instantly, the camera flashes went off continuously.
After all the members of the genius team disembarked from the airship, someone immediately went up to offer their condolences.
"Greetings to the members of the Dongchuan Province's genius team. I am the receptionist appointed by the Yunchuan Province Martial Arts Association. Welcome to Yunchuan."
