Chapter 304 Crimson Flame Star, Zhu Jingshu
"I've heard that the disciples of the Taiping Sect on Crimson Flame Star are ruthless and merciless killers. I didn't expect them to be so easy to talk to, and so polite even though we've only met once," Wei Ranran said.
"Being ruthless and being polite are not mutually exclusive; one cannot judge a person solely by their appearance."
"I understand!" Wei Ranran nodded and said, "Brother Chen Lie, Sister Zhixun said you're in the 15th elite class now?"
"Yes."
"When will you be able to move up a class? I feel like it's really hard to get into the genius class at Blue Star University. A lot of people from other provinces look down on Dongchuan Province."
"Whenever Blue Star University starts its promotion exams, I'll be able to advance to the next class. As for people from other provinces looking down on you, that situation will naturally disappear once your martial arts improve."
At this moment, Huang Yuande walked over.
"Chen Lie, is this your friend?"
Huang Yuande glanced at Wei Ranran.
Chen Lie nodded, but Wei Ranran said directly, "Chen Lie and I were admitted to Blue Star University together from the Dongchuan Province Genius Group."
"The genius group? You're a student in the genius class?" Huang Yuande was taken aback.
"Um!"
Huang Yuande thought Wei Ranran wasn't very old, maybe just over 17, yet she had joined the Dongchuan Province Genius Group.
Students from impoverished provinces who are admitted to Blue Star University typically experience a surge in martial arts prowess during the first six months due to access to sufficient resources.
Huang Yuande knew without guessing that even if the girl in front of him was just someone who barely made it into the genius group, her strength would easily surpass his after two months.
"Brother Chen Lie, everyone in Dongchuan Province is resting at the Blue Star District camp right now. Do you want to go and see them?" Wei Ranran asked.
"I have something to do, so I won't go. You can go back by yourself," Chen Lie said.
"Okay, thank goodness I met you this time, otherwise I would have been in trouble. I'll head back now."
Chen Lie nodded and watched Wei Ranran leave.
"Wow, Chen Lie, are all the girls in your Dongchuan Province this high-quality?"
"When you were the martial arts champion in Dongchuan Province, you lived a life of absolute bliss."
After Wei Ranran left, Huang Yuande couldn't help but say.
Chen Lie ignored Huang Yuande and went to join the group of the 15th key class.
When Mu Ningshu, the class monitor of the 15th key class, saw Chen Lie return, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Chen Lie even has connections with the true disciples of the Taiping Sect. He really has a wide network of connections."
"fine."
Mu Ningshu smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect Chen Lie to be the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province. You must have unique insights into martial arts. How about we arrange a time in a couple of days to exchange ideas on martial arts?"
Judging from the power Chen Lie unleashed the moment he made his move, Mu Ningshu could tell that Chen Lie's strength was definitely not to be underestimated; he must be at the Bone Refining stage.
Chen Lie did not give Mu Ningshu a direct answer, but only said, "I still have things to do in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. Please tell the staff not to wake me up after you leave the Sumeru Illusionary Realm."
Last time, Chen Lie was forcibly awakened by the staff in the Sumeru Illusion Palace. Fortunately, he did not engage in the Genius Hundred-Battle Contest on the virtual battle stage at that time, otherwise his progress would have been reset to zero.
If you suddenly leave the Sumeru Illusionary Realm during a battle, it is considered a forfeit.
"Okay, I understand."
Mu Ningshu nodded.
On the other side, the Taiping sect members caught up with Xi Zhaoxing.
"As a disciple of the true lineage, making an exception to exchange thirty crystal cores for Galaxy Coins is something that usually requires the approval of the elders in charge. If you really want to give those two people from Blue Star face, you could simply return the thirty crystal cores to them. Why did you have to make the exchange for them?"
Xi Zhaoxing pondered for a moment and said, "That person named Chen Lie today is not simple. He is very likely a genius that Blue Star is focusing on cultivating."
I heard that Princess Lingyan of Nanyan, Zhu Jingxi, recently visited Lanxing and requested Lanxing's intervention in the North-South war on Chiyan Star.
Although the upper echelons of the sect generally believe that Blue Star will not easily send troops to help Nan Yan, unexpected events are still possible.
After a few years of growth, Chen Lie will most likely become someone who influences the strategic direction of Blue Star. Making good relations with him in advance and doing him a favor will prevent future decision-makers from overwhelmingly favoring Nan Yan.
More than 20 years ago, if it weren't for the intervention of extraterrestrial forces, Nan Yan would have become history long ago with the Taiping Army, which was at its peak at the time, numbering in the tens of millions. If Chi Yan Star had achieved unification, how could Lan Xing and Mu Yuan Star have won the election for permanent council members of the Fourteen Star Alliance this time?
It was only because of the intervention of extraterrestrial forces that Nan Yan was able to survive. Unexpectedly, twenty years ago, Nan Yan produced an Emperor Zhaowu who helped the corrupt Nan Yan to eliminate its evils and be reborn. Today, it is able to rival the Holy Sect and rule over the sea.
Even though the Holy Church is stronger than Nan Yan now, in the eyes of those inside and outside the star, Nan Yan is still the legitimate ruler of Chi Yan Star, while our Holy Church is a rebel and a bandit.
If the Southern Flame cannot be completely eradicated, this mindset cannot be erased in less than a hundred years.
Therefore, we must be wary of any extraterrestrial forces that might intervene.
"Your master's vision is truly remarkable; I understand!"
The Taiping sect member cupped his hands in greeting.
"Okay, go and take care of it. You don't need to ask the elder in charge within the church. It's only a little over a thousand Galaxy Coins. I'll cover the transaction funds this time. You just need to borrow the Holy Church's Galaxy Coin public account."
"yes!"
On the other side, Chen Lie parted ways with the students of Class 15 and descended to the eastern part of the Canglan Star Region.
First, I glanced at the progress of the last Genius Hundred-Battle (37/100), and then started the Genius Hundred-Battle again on the virtual battle stage.
"Virtual Battlefield" is matching opponents —
"Match complete. Opponent: Shui Mangxing - Zhao Ji (Refining Stage)."

"Entering virtual battle space————"
Chen Lie felt the scene before him shift, and in an instant, he found himself on a vast, empty battle arena.
Before him appeared a boy who was about eighteen years old.
"I am Zhao Ji, a disciple of the Shui Mangxing Martial Academy. Please enlighten me!"
"Blue Star University, Chen Lie, please!"
As soon as the battle alert sounded, Zhao Ji suddenly swung his fist and smashed it towards Chen Lie.
As Zhao Ji threw a punch, his blood and qi circulated and roared, unleashing a powerful burst of energy.
"Boom!"
Zhao Ji threw a series of punches at Chen Lie, each punch carrying a force of nearly 30,000 jin.
Judging from the power that Zhao Ji's body was bursting out, Chen Lie could roughly guess that Zhao Ji had cultivated at least four organs during the Refining Organs stage: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. So Chen Lie was not careless. After dodging the punch with a sway, he struck out with a palm.
With his formidable strength, Zhao Ji effortlessly parried Chen Lie's palm strike.
In an instant, Chen Lie closed the distance with Zhao Ji and they began to fight.
The entire blank battle arena instantly surged with energy, the two forces colliding continuously, and explosions resounded constantly.
In just a short while, Zhao Ji and Chen Lie had exchanged over a hundred blows. At this moment, Zhao Ji was greatly shocked: "This person from Blue Star is clearly inferior to me in strength and cultivation level, so why are his combat skills so superb?"
The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. Zhao Ji, with a strength thousands of pounds greater than Chen Lie's, knocked Chen Lie back with a single punch.
"Heaven-level martial art, Gale Shattering Sky Palm."
Company Commander Chen Lie unleashed more than twenty palm strikes, the palm prints infused with the power of blood and qi, permeating the entire battle arena.
Although Chen Lie didn't know what the Heaven-level martial arts of Shui Mang Star were, judging from the power of Zhao Ji's moves, they should be equivalent to the SS-level martial arts of Blue Star.
He circulated his qi and blood, and with a palm strike, a twenty-meter-long blood-red dragon phantom circled once before rushing towards Zhao Ji.
"Boom boom boom!"
The two forces collided, producing a deafening sound.
Zhao Ji was directly thrown back by the force of the recoil and exclaimed in surprise, "A high-grade Heaven-level martial art?"
After the first strike, Chen Lie moved swiftly, and before Zhao Ji could react, he punched Zhao Ji in a vital spot.
With a "whoosh," the power of blood and qi directly pierced through Zhao Ji's body.
In a moment of astonishment, Zhao Ji's consciousness dissipated within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
With the kill completed, Chen Lie was instantly teleported out of the virtual battle space.
At this moment, a notification sounded from my brain.
"Virtual battle victory, currently in the 100-game genius battle series, current progress (38/100)."
1
Chen Lie had just left the virtual battle space when he started a new round of virtual battles.
"Virtual Battlefield" is matching opponents —
"Match complete. Opponent: Crimson Flame Star - Zhu Jingshu (Refining Stage)."
"Entering virtual battle space————"
"Zhu Jingshu? From the Crimson Flame Star, her surname is Zhu?"
Chen Lie was taken aback. It seemed that the royal family of the Great Yan Dynasty on Crimson Flame Star was surnamed Zhu. Could it be that he had been matched with the royal family of Crimson Flame Star this time?
Chen Lie didn't really care much about the royal family of Crimson Flame Star. Any member of the royal family would definitely be among the top in their level. The difficulty level that the Sumeru Illusionary Realm had given him seemed a bit abnormal.
In just over thirty matches, they were matched with Muyuan Star, Lanxing Star, and the Taiping Sect of Chiyan Star. The weakest opponent they encountered was someone who had cultivated from the Refining stage to the Four Dirty stage, and they were even matched with someone in the Blood Refining stage.
For the average person participating in the Genius Hundred-Chain Battle, this level of difficulty is definitely not possible. Even if it were, it would only be the last one to be challenged.
"Hey, can you tell me something? In the Genius Hundred-Battle Challenge, are the opponents' strengths different from others?"
"Intelligent detection indicates that your mental strength level is severely exceeded, so we have automatically matched you with a high-difficulty opponent. This is also to ensure fairness in the virtual battlefield."
"No wonder."
Just as Chen Lie was asking his question, he returned to the virtual battle space.
On the battle stage, a classical woman with a flying fairy bun and simple clothes and makeup appeared opposite Chen Lie.
The classically beautiful woman was probably only sixteen years old. She parted her red lips slightly and said, "Red Flame Star, Zhu Jingshu, please give me your guidance."
"Blue Star, Chen Lie, please!"
As soon as the notification sound rang out, the classical woman instantly teleported, as if she had shifted her position, and appeared in front of Chen Lie.
With a light, effortless strike, the power of a fully-fledged Refining Stage cultivator erupted instantly.
"boom!"
With a single palm strike, Zhu Jingshu sent Chen Lie flying back to the edge of the empty battle arena.
Chen Lie instantly assessed Zhu Jingshu's strength, unleashing the power of his Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones.
A suffocating pressure descended, and Zhu Jingshu's previously calm expression instantly froze.
"How can someone in the Refining stage possess such terrifying pressure?"
Zhu Jingshu was astonished. She had only ever seen this kind of terrifying pressure from her elder brother and sister, which belonged to the Great Realm of Qi and Blood.
Taking advantage of Zhu Jingshu's momentary distraction from the power of the dragon tendons and bones, Chen Lie unleashed more than a dozen attacks in an instant.
"Boom boom boom!"
Powerful forces exploded continuously, and the blood-red phantom of a dragon hovered above the battle stage.
After Zhu Jingshu reacted, she immediately deflected Chen Lie's attack by half-catching and half-dodging.
"Mysterious Yin Icefield Palm!"
The power of the dragon tendons and dragon bones made Zhu Jingshu very uncomfortable, so she used her strongest martial arts to try to end the battle immediately.
She could probably tell that Chen Lie's strength was at most at the Refining Stage of the Three Major Organs, and his strength was quite different from hers.
Powerful martial arts combined with absolute strength emanated from Zhu Jingshu's small hands, making the air on the fighting stage seem to freeze, and the friction between her palms produced a "crackling" sound.
Just then, Zhu Jingshu suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.
"A mental attack?"
She exclaimed in surprise, but she was not afraid at all, because in addition to her martial arts strength at the peak of the Refining stage, she was also an advanced Divine Sense Master.
After unleashing her palm strike, Zhu Jingshu was unable to achieve a decisive victory due to the interference of her mental attack; Chen Lie easily dodged her full-force palm strike.
After withdrawing her palm, Zhu Jingshu became somewhat interested in Chen Lie.
"Since you are also a mentalist, let's set aside martial arts for now and compete in mental strength."
Zhu Jingshu mobilized the spiritual power in her sea of consciousness. During her apprentice divine mind master stage, her sea of consciousness score reached over two million points, making her one of the best apprentice divine mind masters on Crimson Flame Star.
When she entered the Divine Sense Master realm, she created an extremely powerful Divine Sense, "Illusory Heart Cloud Butterfly," which brought her very close to being listed on the Divine Sense Master Divine Sense Ranking in the Canglan Star Region. She was an unprecedented figure in their Great Yan Dynasty, and even her father, the emperor, praised her highly.
She had automatically created the "Spiritual Illusion Cloud Butterfly". She had not yet experienced the power of the Spiritual Illusion. Today, she actually encountered a Spiritual Master in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. She naturally could not miss such a good opportunity.
Just as Zhu Jingshu was using her spiritual power to attack her enemy, her sea of consciousness began to be attacked continuously, and excruciating pain kept coming from her mind.
She was startled: "How could mental attacks be so frequent?"
She summoned the "Illusory Heart Cloud Butterfly" of consciousness to prepare for a counterattack. Before the mental energy impact could enter Chen Lie's sea of consciousness, she saw an incredible consciousness.
That consciousness seemed to be an ancient ferocious beast, with a tiger's face and a deer's body, stepping on a cluster of stars, much like the Bi'an, one of the nine sons of the dragon.
The moment her illusory mind butterfly made contact with the ferocious beast with a tiger's face and a deer's body, it was shattered by the power emanating from the beast.
The ferocious beast's eyes flashed like lightning, unleashing a blade of spiritual energy.
Zhu Jingshu suddenly felt dizzy, suffering a major mental blow, and fell into a brief loss of consciousness.
Chen Lie seized the opportunity and, taking advantage of Zhu Jingshu's momentary lapse in concentration, struck at her vital point, ending the fight instantly.
Although Zhu Jingshu's consciousness dissipated, Chen Lie was also reported to have left the virtual battle space.
