"The stamina value has reached 7.3 times."
Chen Lie looked at the measured strength value and muttered to himself.
"This level of strength, even in the Canglan Star Region or at Starry Sky University, would only be achievable by a few top geniuses, right?"
Chen Lie had only spent a little over a year in the Canglan Star Region in his previous life, so he only had a superficial understanding of it, but he had heard about the quality of geniuses at Starry Sky University.
Starry Sky University is a martial arts university located in the central part of the Canglan Star Region. It is the largest cultivation academy in the Canglan Star Region, with more than two million students. It enrolls about 80 students from the entire Canglan Star Region every year. These two million students are the most outstanding and exceptional geniuses among the many planets in the Canglan Star Region.
For planets like Blue Star, with relatively low levels of martial arts civilization and only a little over a hundred years of interstellar travel, Starry Sky University offers 3,000 places to enroll in Starry Sky University each year.
This strategy is also a protection mechanism of Starry Sky University for planets in the early stages of martial arts civilization.
If Earth were to directly compete with planets boasting advanced martial arts civilizations from beyond the stars, perhaps not even a hundred people would ultimately be able to get into Star University.
This means that the three thousand top geniuses of Earth will instantly become mediocre and unremarkable after entering Starry Sky University.
Because their competitors have changed from martial arts geniuses on Blue Star to the most outstanding individuals from various planets in the Azure Star Region.
Their opponents have become stronger, while they haven't, so they've become mediocre.
With his current strength value more than seven times higher than before, Chen Lie would definitely be considered an upper-class student at Starry Sky University, though he wasn't quite sure just how upper-class he was.
"Oh, it's Chen Lie. What are you doing at the gym so late?"
Just as Chen Lie was about to turn and leave, a clear and melodious voice rang out.
Chen Lie turned his head and saw: "You're that—"
"Song Yixuan, Chen Lie seems to have a bad memory."
Song Yixuan smiled sweetly.
"I remember you!"
Chen Lie nodded. He had keen senses and insights into martial arts at the Grandmaster level.
It's obvious at a glance that Song Yixuan in front of you is pretending.
Her martial arts level is the highest Chen Lie has ever seen among her peers, clearly having reached the pinnacle of the Qi and Blood stage, "Refining the marrow like mercury, and the Qi and Blood like syrup."
Unlike Shen Miaowei, who had just reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, Song Yixuan had already achieved a deep level of mastery in the "Qi and Blood as Pulse" realm. With Song Yixuan's martial arts achievements, hiding in the genius training camp was just like a student in the genius training camp hiding in an ordinary class in a martial arts high school.
If there's no ulterior motive, then something's not normal.
"I thought Chen Lie had forgotten me, after all, we've met twice before."
"Um, is there something you need?"
"It's nothing, we just bumped into each other and said hello."
"I didn't expect you to practice martial arts so diligently, Chen Lie. You're still at the training ground so late," Song Yixuan said.
Chen Lie said, "I'm just here to have my Qi and blood levels checked, not to practice martial arts."
"You're still getting your Qi and blood tested at this hour? It seems your Qi and blood levels have improved a lot before this."
If I may ask, what is Chen Lie's Qi and Blood value?
Chen Lie glanced at her and said, "Before asking about my Qi and Blood value, shouldn't you have reported your own Qi and Blood value first?"
"Me? My Qi and Blood are only a little over three hundred, what's there to reward me for?" Song Yixuan laughed.
"Really? Then I'm about the same as you."
Song Yixuan rolled her eyes at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, if you don't want to answer, that's fine, but there's no need to make things up."
I've met members of the province's top young talents, but none of them possess your sharp and imposing aura.
How could one cultivate such power without the support of pure and vigorous qi and blood?
If you said your blood energy level was in the four digits, I might believe you.
"Oh, coincidentally, I have also seen martial arts students who have broken through to the extreme in the Qi and Blood stage. The life pressure that emanates from their bones can make people feel suffocated."
"I have a naturally keen sense of perception. You inadvertently revealed the aura of someone at the peak of their Qi and Blood realm. To lie and claim that your Qi and Blood value is just over three hundred is even more absurd."
Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Song Yixuan's expression immediately changed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes as she looked at Chen Lie.
In an instant, Song Yixuan's expression calmed down, and she said casually, "Come on, you, the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm? If I had reached the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, I would have been in the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Group and was dominating the world. Why would I need to stay in this little genius training camp?"
"Even yesterday, he was bullied by trainees from the first training camp and forced to pay protection money?"
Chen Lie chuckled, not saying anything more about how sharp his senses were. How could he possibly miss Song Yixuan's fleeting killing intent?
It seems that Song Yixuan, who infiltrated the genius training camp, does indeed have ulterior motives.
Their motives were so profound that they were willing to kill anyone to silence them if there was even the slightest risk of leaking information.
Perhaps feeling that her previous words were not convincing, Song Yixuan added, "Actually, your perception is indeed correct, but it is impossible for me to reach the ultimate level of Qi and Blood."
Actually, it's because I've mastered an S-rank martial art.
"Really? An S-rank martial art has that much power?"
"Of course, an S-rank martial art is probably one you can't find anywhere in the entire Dongchuan Province, so it must be incredibly powerful."
"Oh, I see."
"Yes, but you can't tell anyone. This is my biggest secret," Song Yixuan said.
"Okay, I understand!" Chen Lie nodded.
"I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now. Remember not to spread the word that I have S-level martial arts skills."
Chen Lie grunted in agreement and walked out of the training ground.
Song Yixuan turned her head and watched Chen Lie's departing figure, her expression shifting between uncertainty and uncertainty.
At this moment, a figure dressed in black arrived at the forging ground in the distance.
"Uncle Chang, is there something you need that's so urgent?"
Song Yixuan said upon seeing the figure.
The figure dressed in all black said, "I'm here to tell you that you should join the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Team as soon as possible, preferably within this month."
"Within this month? Why the rush? I've only shown the results of the second phase of the genius training camp. Asking me to enter the provincial youth genius team in just one month would be too attention-grabbing, wouldn't it?" Song Yixuan said, frowning.
"I know time is a bit tight, but try to find a way to get into the provincial youth genius team within a month. Then the organization can assign you an important task."
Song Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, I'll give it a try."
"Well, if it really doesn't work, then let's continue to lie low. It's too abrupt to enter the genius training camp and then the provincial youth genius team a month later. It's very likely that our identities will be exposed."
"Not necessarily." Song Yixuan shook her head and said, "I know someone who entered the genius training camp with me. Although I can't see his detailed strength, I'm sure he's not far from the standard of the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Group."
I reckon he'll definitely be able to join the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Team within a month. With him leading the way, I won't attract so much attention.
"Okay, then you should make good use of this opportunity, but you must prioritize not exposing yourself."
"I know." Song Yixuan nodded slightly.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned to his dormitory at the training camp.
Sitting on the sofa, he turned on Dongchuan TV and started watching the provincial news.
At that moment, Chen Lie's communicator suddenly started ringing incessantly.
Chen Lie took out his communicator and saw that his Green Bubble software had received several messages.
Chen Lie immediately clicked to see that Chen Ying and Lu Qingchan had each sent him several messages.
Chen Lie first opened Chen Ying's friend chat window.
"Chen Lie, I've mentioned your situation to the instructor, and he said we can let you give it a try."
Chen Lie replied, "When should I go?"
Chen Ying: "The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow."
Chen Lie: "Then let's do it tomorrow."
Chen Ying: "You're currently in the intensive training period of the genius training camp, so you probably won't be able to come out, right?"
Our people can come pick you up.
Chen Lie didn't want everyone to know that he was a mind master, so he replied, "No need, I'll ask the instructor for leave myself."
Chen Ying: "Okay then—"
After a long while, Chen Ying sent another message: "Chen Lie, is your aptitude for divine sense really that good?"
Chen Lie: "It should be considered good."
Chen Ying: "Okay, I understand."
Chen Lie exited Chen Ying's friend chat and opened the message sent by Lu Qingchan.
Lu Qingchan: "Chen Lie, did you injure three veteran students from the second cohort yesterday?"
Chen Lie replied, "That's true."
Lu Qingchan: "You've gotten yourself into big trouble this time. Do you know that the three people you injured are members of a small group within the first batch of trainees in the training camp, called the Star Alliance? I don't know if you've heard of them recently?"
Chen Lie: I know, I'm fighting the Star Alliance.
Lu Qingchan: There seems to be another top student in the class with 700 health points. How could you possibly beat him?
Chen Lie: It's only 700 units of Qi and Blood, not invincible.
On the other side, Lu Qingchan didn't know what to say. Chen Lie's two messages were so arrogant. How come she hadn't noticed this about Chen Lie before?
And how could someone who just entered the genius training camp defeat an old student with 700 calories of health points? Could it be the ability of a Divine Sense Master?
Lu Qingchan sent another message: "The core members of the Star Alliance are seven first-term students whose Qi and Blood values have exceeded 700."
However, among these seven students, as far as I know, three have a Qi and Blood value of 800 kcal, and another one is said to be the leader of the Star Alliance, whose Qi and Blood value is close to four digits, if not four digits.
It is said that he is on par with the members of the province's youth genius group.
What if these people come looking for trouble with you then?
Chen Lie: "Anyone who dares to cause trouble, just beat them back."
In another scene, Lu Qingchan, who was holding a communicator, was so angry at Chen Lie's message that she laughed.
So he sent a message saying, "You're really overconfident. A powerhouse with nearly four-digit health points, how do you think you can beat me?"
