Chapter 296 The psychology of admiring the strong takes hold
During his military training in the Northwest, Chen Lie ate a lot of fifth-tier beast meat, which increased his blood energy from over 1500 calories to 1600 calories.
Upon reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, the body's functions are greatly enhanced. For most people at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, increasing their Qi and Blood levels is as easy as eating and drinking.
However, it is extremely difficult to maintain one's strength while rapidly increasing one's blood and qi, and to increase one's strength as much as possible.
Focusing solely on improving blood and qi while neglecting physical strength is depleting one's potential.
Therefore, many people suppress their Qi and blood, preventing their Qi and blood value from increasing too quickly, fearing that their strength value will not keep up with the progress of Qi and blood, causing their strength value to drop.
During this period, although Chen Lie did not use martial arts resources to improve the purity of his qi and blood, he had been stabilizing his qi value.
With a strength value as high as twelve times, if you fall down and want to get back up, you will have to put in at least a hundred times the effort.
After leaving the training room, Chen Lie arrived at the outer hall.
Seeing the blood and qi detector and the energy level detector next to the lobby, I went over to get tested.
Although I know my strength has increased, I can't say exactly how much.
He walked directly to the strength tester and threw a full-force punch at the target.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, a value appeared on the strength detector.
"Strength: 23195.06 jun (a unit of weight)".
Upon seeing the test results, Chen Lie murmured, "My strength has increased by two thousand jin. It seems that this thousand-year-old spiritual herb has increased my blood energy by at least two hundred calories."
Chen Lie went to the blood and qi detector next to him and tested his blood and qi.
After the blue light from the instrument swept across Chen Lie's body, the blood and qi detector began to announce the test results.
"Beep, test complete, blood energy level 1834.66 calories."
"1,800 calories. It seems that when my Qi and Blood value reaches 3000 calories, I will be able to break through the second level of Qi and Blood Limit, the Qi and Blood Transformation Rainbow Realm."
Chen Lie's true blood energy value is 1800 calories. If someone were to see that he had a mere 1,800 calories of blood energy value, yet he unleashed a force of 23,000 jin, they would surely be astonished on the spot.
At Chen Lie's current stage, this level of strength can only be found in the top-ranked star regions among the hundred star regions under the jurisdiction of the Galactic Empire, in addition to the ten major star provinces of the Central Galactic Empire.
The Sumeru Illusionary Realm is a good example of this.
Throughout the entire Canglan Starfield, Chen Lie's strength ranks first among those who have entered the Sumeru Illusionary Realm.
At that moment, a voice rang out behind Chen Lie.
"Wow, Chen Lie, your health and mana are about the same as mine!"
Chen Lie turned his head and saw that it was Huang Yuande walking over.
"What are you doing here?" Chen Lie asked.
"I just exchanged my credits for an 800-year-old spiritual herb in the resource category building, and I'm currently cultivating in the cultivation room," Huang Yuande said.
"However, with a Qi and Blood value of over 1800 calories, how did you become the Martial Arts Champion?" You, the Martial Arts Champion of Sichuan province, aren't even at the peak of Qi and Blood?
"Who said I'm not at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood?" Chen Lie asked.
"A Qi and Blood Limit of 1800 calories would give you at least six times the Strength. Your Qi and Blood Limit is six times higher?"
Chen Lie nodded.
"You're really awesome! Six times the strength is much harder to achieve than three thousand calories of health."
No wonder the Blue Star Martial Arts Association said that those from remote provinces are highly competitive. If you were born in our Hunan-Guangdong province, you might even become a member of the genius team.
Huang Yuande exclaimed in amazement.
At that moment, a disdainful voice rang out.
"Who is spouting such nonsense?"
Huang Yuande and Chen Lie looked to the side and saw that Gao Yaqing, a girl from the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp, was walking over from a distance.
"Oh, so it's Huang Yuande."
Gao Yaqing said indifferently, "You're daydreaming. You should at least find a quiet place. There are so many people in the cultivation hall. Your words make our Hunan-Guangdong Province look so pathetic."
Upon recognizing Gao Yaqing as the speaker, Huang Yuande couldn't help but whisper, "Gao Yaqing, I, Huang, believe I have never offended you. Why are you picking a fight with me?"
"I don't have time to waste on you."
Gao Yaqing said calmly, "I'm just stating the facts. If you hadn't made those outrageous remarks in public, do you think I would have even acknowledged you on the street?"
Huang Yuande couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!" and then said, "How am I spouting nonsense? Chen Lie broke through the Qi and Blood Limit with only 1800 calories of Qi and Blood. He's from a province in Sichuan, yet he has such a high Qi and Blood value. If he were born in Hunan or Guangdong, why couldn't he join the Genius Group?"
"1800 Qi and Blood points, the pinnacle of Qi and Blood?"
Gao Yaqing's tone became more serious, and she carefully examined Chen Lie.
She also broke through the Qi and Blood Limit when her Qi and Blood value reached 2200.
According to instructors at the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp, the lower a person's Qi and Blood value is when they break through to the Qi and Blood Limit, the greater their potential in the Qi and Blood stage in the future.
A Qi and Blood Limit of 1800 calories requires at least 5.5 times the Qi and Strength. For a province ranked in the bottom 20 on Earth to achieve this, it is truly a rare martial arts genius.
But this person is clearly only of average physical constitution.
"You've reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood?"
Gao Yaqing asked Chen Lie in a strange tone.
"Oh, yes, how is it?" Chen Lie looked at Gao Yaqing calmly.
"Hehe, I am also at the peak of Qi and Blood, and I just broke through to the Tendon Refining stage a while ago."
If you truly possess the pinnacle of Qi and Blood, do you dare step onto the dueling platform with me? I'll give you some pointers; don't worry, we'll stop short of a full exchange.
"You want to give me pointers?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "Okay, but there's no need to stop here."
Are you sure?
Gao Yaqing's lips curled up slightly; in that case, she wouldn't hold back.
"certainly!"
"Okay!" Gao Yaqing turned around and went upstairs: "Come with me, there's a battle arena on the fifth floor."
Chen Lie followed Gao Yaqing without making a sound.
Huang Yuande quickly ran over and grabbed Chen Lie, saying, "Chen Lie, Gao Yaqing is one of the top ten students in the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp."
With only 1800 HP, don't go onto the battle stage and get beaten up.
Chen Lie shook off Huang Yuande and said, "You just watch from the side."
Chen Lie had long wanted to punish this girl who had been acting sarcastic and unpleasant on several occasions.
Now that she's offering to fight me, it's a godsend.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Lie and Gao Yaqing arrived on the fifth floor.
Gao Yaqing walked directly onto the dueling platform and beckoned to Chen Lie with her finger: "Are you sure you don't want to stop before it's over? If you get seriously injured, don't go complaining to the instructor."
"I won't, and I hope you won't either."
Chen Lie arrived opposite Gao Yaqing.
"In that case, let's begin!"
Gao Yaqing's blood and qi surged, and a wave of energy formed around her due to the powerful surge of blood and qi. She then swung her hand and struck Chen Lie with a palm strike.
She deliberately slowed down her first move to give Chen Lie room to attack or dodge.
Just as her palm was about to strike, Chen Lie suddenly raised his hand.
After Gao Yarou's palm made contact with Chen Lie's light palm, she was startled and instantly felt an irresistible and enormous force coming towards her.
"boom!"
Under the impact of such immense force, she was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, instantly thrown more than ten meters away, and fell to the ground with a thud.
"How—how is this possible?"
Gao Yaqing struggled to her feet, feeling as if her body had fallen apart from the impact of the force far exceeding her physical capacity.
Just as she struggled to her feet, an indescribable pressure suddenly appeared.
A feeling of terror instantly gripped her heart, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
"This is—the pressure of extreme circumstances—"
Under this immense pressure, Gao Yaqing recalled that her Qi and Blood value was only a little over a hundred calories, as if she were facing a powerful expert at the peak of Qi and Blood for the first time.
Back then, she was weak, but now she has reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood. Logically speaking, the pressure of the pinnacle shouldn't have any effect on her at all.
As if teleporting, Chen Lie instantly appeared in front of Gao Yaqing, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up.
Gao Yaqing's feet were off the ground, her phoenix eyes staring at Chen Lie, her face full of disbelief.
After a while, Chen Lie threw Gao Yaqing aside, and Gao Yaqing fell to the ground with a thud.
At this point, Gao Yaqing's heart was pounding.
She had completed the Tendon Refining stage of cultivation, and the strength of the Bone Refining stage was definitely not enough to easily crush her. As for the Dirty Refining stage, she didn't know.
But that overwhelming pressure from the extreme realm, which felt like an illusion, was something that even those in the Refining Stage didn't possess.
At this moment, Chen Lie had already jumped off the battle platform.
"etc!"
Gao Yaqing couldn't help but call out Chen Lie's name.
Seeing Chen Lie stop and turn around, she quickly asked, "You—what exactly is your strength?"
Chen Lie did not answer her, but turned and left.
Huang Yuande, who was watching from below the arena, was also shocked by Chen Lie's strength.
Is defeating a Qi and Blood Peak cultivator in the Tendon Refining stage as easy as killing a chicken? Are the martial arts champions of Sichuan Province really that fierce?
Even in their Hunan and Guangdong provinces, he would be considered a member of the genius group.
Huang Yuande chuckled and said to Gao Yaqing, "Chen Lie is the martial arts champion of Sichuan Province. In principle, he should be able to join the genius class. However, because he made a mistake, he had no choice but to ask my uncle to help him get into Lanxing University from among the students of the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp."
He used to hold it against you guys because of me. Go back and tell that pretentious Tang Guanlin.
No matter how much Chen Lie tries to show off, I can't stop him. If he gets injured or crippled because of his showing off, it will be a huge loss.
Tell Tang Guanlin, "Don't say you weren't warned."
Gao Yaqing, of course, didn't pay attention to Huang Yuande's long string of words; she only heard one useful piece of information.
"Sichuan, Chief Wu————"
She murmured something, and only after watching Chen Lie and Huang Yuande leave did she hoist her heavy body and walk to the rest area next to the battle stage to sit down.
Even a martial arts champion from such a remote province couldn't possibly possess this kind of strength.
Gao Yaqing was completely baffled. She took out her communicator, thinking that a provincial martial arts champion must be a very famous person, and tried searching using keywords such as "Sichuan" and "Chen Lie".
The information he found shocked him.
[Chen Lie, the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province, dominated all other martial arts contestants in the three provincial capitals of Sichuan, and was awarded the title of Martial Arts Champion of the Three Provinces —]
"The top martial arts champion of three provinces?"
Gao Yaqing murmured, "This is a regional genius, a peerless genius who has stood out from hundreds of millions of people. Putting aside strength, his prestige is comparable to the martial arts champions of the top twenty provinces on Earth."
They enjoy the same privileges as the martial arts champions from the top ten provinces of Blue Star, and can directly join Blue Star University as super geniuses upon enrollment.
Gao Yaqing was just wondering why such a genius would infiltrate their Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp when she saw another piece of information.
[Chen Lie, the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province and the martial arts champion of the three provinces of Sichuan, relied on his talent and became arrogant and domineering. He offended a distinguished guest from outer space, and the Blue Star Martial Arts Association stripped him of his title of "Martial Arts Champion of the Three Provinces" —]
"No wonder—"
Gao Yaqing put away the communicator.
The champion of martial arts from three provinces must be an exceptional martial arts genius from Sichuan province. He must be arrogant and proud, and he wouldn't bother talking to these people because he's not of a high enough level to be worth wasting his time on.
According to the rules set by Blue Star University, regardless of strength, regional geniuses are comparable to top figures like the martial arts champion of Hunan and Guangxi provinces. How could a mere student from the genius training camp be considered by him?
Even in terms of strength, Chen Lie is no less than the members of the Hunan-Guangdong Province's genius group, but this is still due to the limited resources of the impoverished province.
As for the medium-sized bone structure detected by the testing center, Gao Yaqing believes that this does not prove anything.
Even the professors at Blue Star University said that martial arts aptitude is only one manifestation of talent and cannot represent everything.
Even those with perfect physical constitutions cannot stand out from rounds of competition in the harsh environment of central Sichuan.
Perhaps Chen Lie's talent lies not in his physical constitution, but in a more powerful martial arts talent.
Gao Yaqing felt no frustration at being defeated by Chen Lie; driven by her admiration for strength, she simply saw it as a true display of genius.
After all, she was sharp-tongued, so it was only right that she was taught a lesson.
Two transfer students from Hunan and Guangdong provinces, Tang Guanlin and Chen Lie, it turns out the real dragon is here—
On the other side, Chen Lie and Huang Yuande walked out of the teaching building together and headed to the cafeteria.
On the way, Huang Yuande couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lie, what's your martial arts level? How did you manage to defeat Gao Yaqing so easily?"
"The Dirty Refining Period"
"The Refining Stage? That's stronger than even the bottom member of our Hunan-Guangdong Province's genius group. How come Dongchuan is like this? It's so polarized."
One thousand units of Qi and Blood are enough to join the Dongchuan Province Genius Group. The number one in the Genius Group is actually at the Refining Stage?
The gap between the bottom and the top is just too huge, isn't it?
"That's just an isolated case!"
Chen Lie said.
Huang Yuande said, "That's a deal. If you have the chance, you must teach that pretentious Tang Guanlin a lesson for me."
"What did Tang Guanlin do to you? Why do you hate him so much?"
"He's an outsider, yet he immediately tried to seduce our special admissions representative, Chi Naixue. Let alone me, any student in our Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp would find him unacceptable."
"It's just that my martial arts skills aren't good enough, otherwise, why would I need you to do it for me? I would definitely do it myself!" Huang Yuande rolled up his sleeves.
"We'll see when the time comes," Chen Lie nodded.
