Chapter 216 A Long and Arduous Road Ahead
In the comment section of Dongchuan Province's official media, there are countless posts from people with the Yunchuan IP address. Most of these posts are from a superior position, showing great disdain for Dongchuan and Xichuan.
The people of Dongchuan began to refute these posts.
"So you think you're superior because of Yunchuan? What the hell? Why are you barking like a dog under the guise of our Dongchuan provincial government media?"
"Damn it, just because Yunchuan martial arts are a little stronger than Dongchuan, they look down on this and that all day long. If you want to bark, go bark like a dog in Yunchuan. What are we Dongchuan showing off for?"
At this moment, a post by a netizen named "Changdong City's Number One Martial Arts Genius" broke through the encirclement of millions of posts and received more than 5,000 replies in just over ten minutes.
"Although these people from Yunchuan speak harshly, what they say is true."
I don't know much about Gu Yang from Sichuan Province, so I won't comment on him. But Chen Lie, who is he? What qualifications does he have to be called one of the three martial arts giants among the younger generation of the three provinces of Sichuan?
To be honest, I'm disappointed with the Dongchuan Province Genius Team. What kind of trash is this? They let someone like Chen Lie stand out? This shows that the members of our Dongchuan Province Genius Team are also a bunch of scoundrels, not worth mentioning. Otherwise, Chen Lie wouldn't have taken the provincial martial arts championship.
Honestly, the three provinces should just admit defeat beforehand; going would only be embarrassing.
I can't even imagine how rotten the Dongchuan martial arts world has become. How could someone like that become the martial arts champion? It's truly a case of times without heroes, allowing a scoundrel to rise to fame.
After this post was published, many posts from Yunchuan IPs replied, and many Yunchuan IPs also tagged "Changdong City's No. 1 Martial Arts Prodigy" in their posts.
"See? Even your own people in Dongchuan Province have admitted that the members of the Dongchuan Province Genius Group are all ugly and deformed."
The IP address of this "Number One Martial Arts Prodigy in Changdong City" is Changdong City, Dongchuan Province.
"That's what everyone in your province has said, so what are the others arguing about?"
The "Number One Martial Arts Prodigy of Changdong City" is quite insightful. When has Dongchuan ever won a championship in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament? Last time, Dongchuan didn't even make the top three. They should just concede now, lest they embarrass themselves in the Blue Star Times, just like the "Number One Martial Arts Prodigy of Changdong City" said.
The betrayal from within the province infuriated the people of Dongchuan Province, who turned their anger towards the "Number One Martial Arts Prodigy of Changdong City."
"Are you even from Dongchuan? Or are you some dark-skinned kid from Yunchuan?"
"Damn it, you're an idiot! A person from Dongchuan Province, actually joining people from other provinces in belittling Dongchuan! You're nothing but a lackey!"
The "Number One Martial Arts Prodigy of Changdong City," unwilling to be criticized, directly confronted the other party: "Are you all crazy? Didn't you realize I was attacking Chen Lie?"
I've always said that Chen Liede is unworthy of his position and doesn't deserve to be the provincial martial arts champion. Who the hell is belittling Dongchuan Province?
"Damn it, you just said that the martial arts world in Dongchuan is a complete mess, and that all the members of the province's youth genius team are foreigners. You've already forgotten what you just posted? Did a dog eat your brain, or did a donkey kick your head?"
The top martial arts prodigy of Changdong City: I'm talking about Chen Lie! These people can't even beat Chen Lie, and they handed over the provincial martial arts champion so easily. What else could they be but scoundrels?
"Are you an idiot? The martial arts champion is the face of the entire province. How dare someone like you criticize him? What kind of person are you to dare attack the province's martial arts champion?"
"He's officially hailed as a martial arts prodigy descended to earth. What grudge do you have against him? In other words, who are you to presume to have a grudge against the top martial arts champion in the province?"
"Brothers, I'm quite knowledgeable about hacking techniques. I just secretly looked up information about this number one martial arts prodigy in Changdong City."
The poster's name is Chen Ye, 18 years old, from Changdong City, Dongchuan County. His identity information shows that he is a student at the No. 1 Martial Arts High School in the city.
"I remember that the information about Chen Lie, the provincial martial arts champion, also says he's from Changdong City. This Chen Ye also has the surname Chen, so they're from the same place. Could they be relatives?"
"You know what, it's actually possible. Otherwise, who would have the time to criticize and berate a newly crowned provincial martial arts champion?"
These relatives are terrifying! So jealous, they can't stand seeing others do well!
At Chen Ye's home in Changdong City.
Chen Ye saw that in less than half an hour, his post had received nearly 20,000 replies, but 99% of the replies were cursing him, and only 1% were from the poster with the Yun Chuan IP praising him for his wisdom, foresight, and self-awareness.
As Chen Ye scrolled through the barrage of insults, anger surged within him.
"Damn it, Dongchuan Province is full of idiots who just parrot what others say. What's so great about Chen Lie? When my health points were in double digits, he didn't even have a single unit of health points!"
Chen Ye wanted to go into battle again, but suddenly a post came across that had dug up his information, including his name and the martial arts high school he attended. He immediately felt a chill.
By publicly criticizing the top martial arts champion in the province under the guise of official media, his post has already garnered tens of thousands of replies. If the matter escalates and causes a public outcry, attracting the attention of the authorities, there is a risk of him being investigated.
Upon realizing this, Chen Ye instantly felt intimidated.
He suppressed his anger, deleted all the posts he had made, and also deleted his account.
After doing all this, Chen Ye angrily threw the communicator on the ground.
With a loud bang, the communicator was smashed to pieces on the ground.
Chen Ye's mother, Chang Guirong, heard the commotion outside and immediately came to check.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom, didn't you see the news? Dongchuan TV reported it! Chen Lie has become the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province!"
Chang Guirong nodded and said, "I saw it. Chen Lie's martial arts have made great progress. He must have met an extraordinary person who guided him in martial arts. But so what?"
He promised last time that if your Qi and Blood value exceeded 200 calories within half a month, he would introduce you to that master.
In Mom's opinion, the more skilled Chen Lie is in martial arts now, the better. Won't you be the same in the future?
"Your talent is better than Chen Lie's. If you were to be guided by that master, you might not only become the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province, but also the martial arts champion of the three provinces. Why are you sulking here?" Chang Guirong said.
Chen Ye said, "Mom, how easy is it to raise your Qi and Blood points to 200 in half a month?"
"Didn't you already have 191 calories in your last test? It's not like your health and mana have just broken into double digits. Increasing your health and mana by 10 calories in half a month shouldn't be too difficult at your stage, right?"
"How can it not be difficult? Mom, you shouldn't have agreed to that request. Half a month has passed, and my Qi and Blood value hasn't even increased to 3 calories!" Chen Ye couldn't help but complain.
"Hmm? Why are you so slow? Have you not been practicing diligently lately?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Guirong quickly asked.
"How am I not taking it seriously? It's not like I don't know what's important. I've been leaving early every day and coming home late every night, practicing martial arts at the gym for more than ten hours every day, just because I'm worried about not being able to meet Chen Lie's requirements."
But it really won't work. Chen Lie's requirement is to maintain three times the strength value and break through 200 calories of blood energy within half a month. If I only increase my blood energy by ten calories, it is of course very easy. But as soon as I consume spiritual medicine and beast meat meals to increase my blood energy, my strength value starts to drop.
If I didn't dedicate at least six hours a day to cultivating my Qi and blood, my energy level would have long since dropped to less than three times its normal value.
Upon hearing her son's words, Chang Guirong frowned and asked, "How could this be?"
"I don't know either. This situation started a month ago. Mom, what should we do? I guess I won't be able to meet this requirement."
Chen Ye looked distressed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Tell me, do you think Chen Lie saw through my situation, which is why he made this request that I can't possibly fulfill?"
Chang Guirong's face darkened: "Is there any need to think about it? Chen Lie must have known the situation at the time, which is why he was willing to make this promise."
When his blood and qi level was 4,000 kcal, he went to Wuhan University Hospital for a checkup and was diagnosed with severe blood and qi instability. He must have gone through the same stage you are in now.
However, he recovered with the help of a martial arts master, while you can only watch your strength decline.
"Chen Lie is too despicable! Why don't your third uncle and aunt do anything about him?"
"Expect your third uncle and aunt to take care of Chen Lie? Is that even possible? They'd love to see Chen Lie get better and better while we get worse and worse."
"What should I do? Are they going to make me a martial artist with less than 200 units of Qi and Blood?"
"Try your best these next few days and see if you can fulfill Chen Lie's request. If you really can't, Mom will think of something else—"
Chang Guirong pondered for a moment before speaking.
Hearing his mother say this, Chen Ye simply nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Chen Lie returned home on Wei Ranran's airship.
As soon as they got home, Chen Xingyao ran out and said, "Brother, today Mom and Dad went to Sichuan Province to buy an airship."
The price seems to be over eight million star dollars. Mom specifically instructed that this airship will be yours to use from now on.
After saying that, Chen Xingyao took Chen Lie outside to take a look at the airship.
Chen Lie took a closer look at the airship. It was blue, eleven meters long, and about five meters high.
"Yes, it's fine."
With this airship, he will no longer have to go through the hassle of taking a flying bus.
"Mom asked me to ask you if there's anything else you need. She'll take care of it for you without disturbing your martial arts practice."
"That's all. We can use the remaining Star Essence to improve the family's daily needs."
Chen Lie said, and then went home with his sister Chen Xingyao.
"How's your Azure Phoenix Body Refining Technique progressing?" Chen Lie asked.
"My Qi and Blood value has exceeded 100, and my Strength value is still five times higher."
After answering, Chen Xingyao added, "By the way, brother, a couple of days ago, someone from the Blue Star Divine Sense Master Association headquarters contacted me again, asking me to confirm my departure time to the capital so they could send someone to pick me up in advance."
"So what was your answer?"
"I haven't given a detailed answer yet. I just said I'll think about it some more, probably when Blue Star University's military training starts."
"The Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter and the Azure Phoenix Body Refinement Method you cultivate are extraordinary. After you go to the capital, you must be careful to hide them. Before you complete the Azure Phoenix Body Refinement Method, do not show your strength value more than six times. Act according to the situation."
"Okay, I understand."
A genius of divine sense who makes it onto the list of the top 100 trainee divine sense masters in the Canglan Starfield is highly valued on any planet, let alone on Blue Star.
The next day, Chen Lie had found the two 800-year-old spiritual herbs that he had purchased with his points, and he went to collect them.
He currently has over three million points in his account. Each member of the Genius Group has two opportunities to search for points each month. In addition, with the privileges of Grandmaster Seeds and Martial Champions, Chen Lie has a total of four opportunities to search for resources.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to receive the elixir, Chen Lie simply used all four of his chances.
They searched for four 800-year-old spiritual herbs, two of which could improve the purity of qi and blood, and two of which could improve the strength of qi and blood.
To increase one's strength tenfold, and to prevent it from dropping while ensuring an increase in blood and qi, elixirs that enhance the purity of blood and qi are absolutely essential.
He knew that once his strength dropped below tenfold, he would be out of reach of the third level of the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm, where his Qi and Blood were as violent as a dragon and as vast as the sea.
After spending 400,000 points, Chen Lie successfully ordered four 800-year-old spiritual herbs, instantly increasing his points balance to over 2.9 million.
Chen Lie found a cultivation room at the training grounds of the genius group and directly consumed the two eight-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs raw.
After mastering the "Dragon Nirvana Technique," Chen Lie's physical functions increased several times over, and he digested the medicinal power of the two 800-year-old spiritual herbs in half an hour.
Chen Lie probed his body with his divine sense and clearly found that his qi and blood had become stronger.
Upon arriving at the blood and qi level monitor in the training room, Chen Lie measured his blood and qi.
After the blue light swept across the body, the blood and qi detector began to announce the test results.
"Beep, test complete, blood energy level 1084.39 calories."
"An 800-year-old plant only increased my Qi and Blood value by 80 calories. It seems that I still have a long way to go before reaching the third level of the Qi and Blood stage."
In the Central Galaxy Empire, a martial arts genius who has reached the third perfect stage of Qi and Blood can suppress a martial arts master in a remote place with his physical strength alone. Otherwise, how could he subdue a juvenile star beast?
A juvenile cosmic behemoth is naturally not something a martial arts master from a small place can handle.
"If the third realm of Qi and blood, as vast as the sea and as scorching as the sun, were to appear on Earth, the mere suppression of the life level would probably be unbearable even for a martial arts grandmaster."
Who knows, he might even be able to put up a fight against a Grandmaster-level martial artist from Earth.
Chen Lie was only guessing at this point, since he spent most of his previous life hiding in the Scripture Pavilion and rarely came into contact with the martial arts geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire.
A martial arts genius who has reached the third level of the Qi and Blood stage, and is said to be able to subdue juvenile star beasts, is unlikely to be an unfounded claim.
Chen Lie went to the strength testing device next to him, intending to test his strength value. However, he suddenly remembered that he had punched and broken a strength testing device last time he tested his strength value. So he gave up on testing his strength value here, walked out of the training room, and went to the training ground.
