Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 655 Why isn't Senior Chen from Lanjing?

The broadcast was made by Li Zhuxian, a reporter from Blue Star TV.

As soon as Li Zhuxian's broadcast ended, the five-star youths from the Eastern Region, who had been discussing amongst themselves, instantly fell silent.

"Now, please welcome His Excellency Chen Lie to the stage to speak!"

After the broadcast ended, a round of enthusiastic applause resounded from all directions.

Chen Lie then emerged from backstage and stepped onto the stage to give his speech.

On the stage, Chen Lie glanced at the audience below. The young men and women of the five stars of the Eastern Region were all applauding. The most outstanding geniuses of the five stars of the Eastern Region were sitting in the first row. Mu Xiyan, the champion of Lan Jingwu who took the initiative to ask Chen Lie for advice yesterday, was applauding in the first row not far from the stage.

When Mu Xiyan saw Chen Lie's gaze sweeping over her, a warm and gentle smile bloomed on her face.

On the podium, Chen Lie raised his hand, and the applause from the audience suddenly stopped.

Hello everyone, I am Chen Lie!

I didn't want to come to this kind of event, but since all the extraterrestrial guests have requested that I share some martial arts techniques with you all, I thought it would be too rude to refuse such a request, so I came."

"I have just observed that most of you here are at the Bone Refining stage of the Minor Extreme Realm, with the majority at the Digestive Refining stage and very few at the Blood Refining stage."

The challenges you face now are nothing more than refining your bones, filth, and blood, as well as increasing your strength.

Everyone here today has come because of my reputation, and I won't let you come for nothing. So today I'll talk about the secrets of refining bones, refining filth, and refining blood, as well as how to further cultivate after your strength reaches its peak. These things will be very useful to you.

"Now let's talk about the first point: the cultivation of the Bone Refining stage."

The so-called Bone Refinement is a crucial step in the six stages of the Lesser Qi and Blood Realm, connecting the previous and subsequent stages of Tendon and Muscle Refinement, and leading to the advancement of Organ Refinement and Blood Refinement.

Our bone-refining techniques and methods are numerous, but the ultimate goal is to cultivate a precious bone structure and enhance physical strength.

To achieve perfect bone refining, a method for circulating Qi and blood that suits you is essential. I have a method for circulating Qi and blood that is suitable for most people, which can help you save time during the bone refining period while more fully strengthening your bones. Everyone, listen carefully, I will only say it once————”

Chen Lie briefly explained a method for circulating qi and blood.

Those present were all top geniuses from their respective planets, so even if Chen Lie spoke very briefly, they wouldn't have any trouble understanding him.

After explaining the Bone Refining stage, Chen Lie began to explain the secrets of the Dirty Refining stage, followed by the Blood Refining stage.

It took Chen Lie more than two hours to roughly explain the difficulties of the three stages.

"Next, I'm going to talk about how to increase your strength after you realize that your strength has reached its peak."

"This is something that Qi and Blood Martial Artists at the Great Perfection of the Blood Refining Stage urgently need. Those of you below the Blood Refining Stage should also remember this carefully, because you will naturally need it when you reach the Great Perfection of the Blood Refining Stage."

Chen Lie paused for a moment, then began a speech that lasted for an hour.

The top geniuses of the five stars in the Eastern Region listened with rapt attention.

Although Chen Lie's explanations were brief, sometimes even just a brief mention, he revealed without reservation the methods for overcoming difficulties in cultivation.

Chen Lie's explanation was like a guiding light for them, allowing them to avoid taking many detours.

The genius from Muyuan Star was thrilled to hear this and exclaimed, "As expected of a genius who appears once in a thousand years in the Eastern Star Region, the number one in the Qi and Blood Realm."

His understanding and insights into Qi and Blood Martial Arts far surpass those of our mentors. This trip to Earth was absolutely worthwhile!

"Yes, although I'm reluctant to admit it, his martial arts lecture could probably save me a month of arduous training."

"What a pity, this Chen Lie isn't from our Muyuan Star—"

In the first row below the podium, Mu Xiyan, the champion of Lan Jingwu, was also listening intently.

After listening to Chen Lie's explanation of the difficulties in cultivating the three aspects of bone refining, filth refining, and blood refining, even though Mu Xiyan was an experienced person, she could still understand the shortcomings in her past cultivation and could correct them.

After Chen Lie explained how to increase one's strength, Mu Xiyan didn't dare to miss a single word.

After an hour-long lecture, the champion of Lan Jingwu was greatly encouraged. She had never been confident in breaking through the tenfold strength barrier that had been holding her back for more than two months. After listening to Chen Lie's ingenious explanation, she was amazed and finally vaguely grasped the method to break through the tenfold strength barrier.

"Senior Chen is indeed a martial arts genius who appears once in a millennium. Even a simple lecture from him has benefited me greatly."

"If he could guide me one-on-one, even for just one day, I'm sure I could break through my limits and reach a whole new level in martial arts."

Mu Xiyan murmured softly, but then sighed gently.

Senior Chen, with such great talent, why aren't you from Lanjing? You were born in Dongchuan Province.

If Senior Chen were from Lan Jing, she could ask the teachers of the Lan Jing Martial Arts Association to persuade him, and she could at least buy a day's time. She had no connection with Dongchuan Province.

This relationship must be a private one, a very good personal relationship. It requires persuasion through reason and emotion, based on a long-standing relationship of receiving favors from the local government. You can't use force to suppress them. No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than a rising star candidate for the governorship of Blue Star?

After speaking for more than three hours, Chen Lie's speech came to an end.

He looked at the beautiful reporter, Li Zhuxian, waiting below the stage and asked, "Is there one more step to guide you through?"

"Yes!"

Li Zhuxian walked to the podium and said, "President Lei of Blue Star University said that in order to save you time, we will draw a prize on the spot."

In the Eastern Region, there are five stars, and each star has two slots. Everyone will draw a prize at the same time, and the two lucky winners will receive your individual guidance.

In this way, you only need to instruct ten people. Does that sound alright?

"Alright, guests from afar are welcome, let our alien friends come first." Chen Lie nodded.

"As you have instructed, Candidate Governor Chen Lie, let's begin from Crimson Flame Star!"

Li Zhuxian immediately summoned several staff members and had each of them carry a basket of raffle tickets, which were then distributed to the young geniuses of Crimson Flame Star.

"Dear friends of Crimson Flame Star, each of you may now draw a lot once."

We've tallied the numbers: there are 87 Crimson Flame Star people present. There are 87 raffle tickets, but only two have a five-pointed star design. The two people who drew the five-pointed star ticket can come forward and receive guidance from Lord Chen Lie.

Shortly after Li Zhuxian finished speaking, the staff had already distributed all 87 raffle tickets.

Li Zhuxian asked, "Friends of Crimson Flame Star, the lottery tickets have all been distributed. The two people who drew the five-star pattern, please come forward!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two people from the Crimson Flame Star team stepped forward and came to the side of the podium.

The two people, a boy and a girl, both looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. The girl was dressed in white, while the boy was simply dressed in ordinary training clothes from Crimson Flame Star.

Upon seeing the two, Li Zhuxian stepped forward and asked, "May I ask who you two are from, Crimson Flame Star?"

"My name is Liu Yue, and the person next to me is my elder brother, Liu Yang. We are from the Duke of Jin's Mansion on the Crimson Flame Star."

"Oh, so you are the young lady and gentleman from the Crimson Flame Star Duke's Mansion. You've won the lottery ticket. You can ask our Blue Star Governor candidate Chen Lie for guidance on a difficult problem. Who wants to go first?"

As Li Zhuxian asked, she waved to the filming crew, asking them to give the two young people from Crimson Flame Star a close-up shot.

The girl named Liu Yue said, "Then I'll go first!"

Lee Joo-hyun said "okay" and then made a gesture of invitation.

Liu Yue came to the podium, lifted her skirt, and gave Chen Lie a deep curtsy.

"Your Excellency Chen Lie, candidate for governor of Blue Star, hello. I am Liu Yue from Crimson Flame Star."

Chen Lie nodded: "Go ahead and ask me anything!"

"I am currently in the Purification stage, and my cultivation is progressing smoothly. At least I haven't discovered any problems in my cultivation. Please give me some guidance on cultivation during the Purification stage," Liu Yue said.

"You've refined three of your five internal organs, your cultivation is progressing smoothly, and superficial problems are almost nonexistent. Now, let me guide you through the deeper issues!"

Chen Lie began to analyze Liu Yue's cultivation during the Refining Stage frame by frame, identifying and correcting any problems.

In about ten minutes, Chen Lie finished instructing Liu Yue on the connection between the five elements and the five internal organs, as well as the techniques for refining the internal organs.

After giving her instructions, Liu Yue bowed to Chen Lie to express her gratitude, then stepped down from the podium, and Liu Yang went up on stage.

Chen Lie spent more than half an hour receiving guidance from the two members of the Crimson Flame Star.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhuxian arranged for people from planets such as Muyuan Star and Shuimang Star to participate in a lottery.

It took Chen Lie nearly three hours to finish instructing the eight people in the Eastern Region's four stars.

After the other four stars, it was Blue Star's turn.

There were 458 people present at Lanxing. Li Zhuxian sent staff to distribute 458 raffle tickets one by one.

"All 458 lottery tickets for Blue Star have been distributed. Now, please invite the two students who drew the five-star lottery ticket to come up."

As soon as Li Zhuxian finished speaking, Mu Xiyan, the leader of Lan Jingwu in the first row, suddenly stood up and walked lightly onto the podium.

Upon approaching Chen Lie, Mu Xiyan smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "Hello, Senior Chen!"

She stepped forward and placed the raffle ticket with the five-pointed star design on the podium.

Chen Lie hummed in agreement: "Tell me, is there anything you need guidance on?"

Mu Xiyan said seriously, "Senior Chen, I want to break through ten times my strength. Please give me your guidance and help me point out my shortcomings."

"The problem you are facing now is that your strength has reached its limit. If you don't break through ten times your strength, you will not be able to break through to the Heavenly Aperture in the Great Extreme Realm."

Fortunately, you're not far from reaching ten times the strength, so I'll show you the way.

As soon as Chen Lie spoke, the people from the Eastern Region Five Stars below the stage all listened attentively. This was the secret to breaking through ten times the strength value, how could they not listen?

Especially among the other four stars, Chen Lie had ten times the strength value in the Qi and Blood stage, and broke through the Heavenly Aperture in the Great Extreme Realm. You should know that at that time, Chen Lie had not yet joined Starry Sky University. The method of breaking through ten times the strength value was something he figured out and researched on his own, and there must have been some tricks involved.

Chen Lie didn't say it explicitly, but instead used his divine sense to communicate with Mu Xiyan, explaining the method to break through ten times the strength value.

Mu Xiyan's expression changed for a moment, then she suddenly realized what was going on.

More than twenty minutes passed before Mu Xiyan finally said, "I will never forget Senior Chen's guidance. Thank you!"

Mu Xiyan bowed deeply to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie said expressionlessly, "Go down and think about it carefully. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to break through ten times your strength in about half a month."

"I see!"

Mu Xiyan nodded heavily, said goodbye, and turned to walk off the stage.

She returned to her seat, and Xu Caiying, sitting in the row behind her, leaned closer and asked, "Captain Mu, what cultivation method did you obtain?"

"Senior Chen specially taught me this cultivation method; how could I possibly tell you?"

Mu Xiyan glanced at her.

"I----"

Xu Caiying felt a surge of resentment. Half a year ago, she missed Chen Lie's guidance, and she still often regretted it. After being rebuked by Mu Xiyan, she immediately felt deflated.

"Huh? What just happened? I didn't hear Chen Lie giving me any instructions!"

"That's exactly what I wanted—for you to not hear me. The secret to breaking through tenfold strength—can't be passed around like that!"

"So that was a mental exchange just now?"

The remaining people from the four stars of the Eastern Region were greatly disappointed.

At this moment, Li Zhuxian said with a smile, "Two people on Blue Star should have drawn the five-star pattern on their lottery tickets. Who is the other lucky student?"

She called out for a long time, but no one responded.

Li Zhuxian looked at the staff distributing the raffle tickets with a puzzled expression. The staff also looked completely innocent.

Zhu Xian shrugged.

"To the other student who won the five-star pattern lottery ticket, are you there?"

If you don't come out soon, your prize ticket will be forfeited.

A while after Li Zhuxian finished speaking, a girl with a sweet face and a princess-cut hairstyle slowly got up from where Lan Xing was.

"Yan Yueke? Why is she dawdling? What is she trying to do?"

Mu Xiyan asked when she saw the girl.

"Yan Yueke is indeed acting strangely today. She arrived very early, but chose a seat in the last three rows. She should have been in the first row," a member of the Blue Capital Genius Team chimed in.

The second person on Blue Star to draw a five-pointed star pattern was Yan Yueke.

At this moment, Yan Yueke walked nervously onto the podium.

When Li Zhuxian, a reporter from Blue Star TV, saw Yan Yueke, she immediately said, "Is this the second person to draw the five-pointed star pattern?"

I've been calling out from the stage for so long, why didn't you come out?

"I'm so sorry!"

Yan Yueke handed over the five-star patterned lottery ticket.

Li Zhuxian took Yan Yueke's raffle ticket and said, "Alright, let's go on stage!"

Yan Yueke hummed in agreement and went up to the podium.

She still remembered that six months ago, Chen Lie had tried to kill her, his face filled with murderous intent.

While her approach to Chen Xingyao at the time was indeed not for pure motives, she did not intend to harm her; she simply wanted to make friends with her—it was merely a utilitarian act.

Was it because she was being too deliberate that Chen Lie noticed something was wrong and suspected her of having ulterior motives, which is why she acted that way?

If we interpret it this way, Chen Lie's actions seem quite normal.

So much time has passed, if I, the victim, don't hold a grudge, surely Chen Lie will be able to move on too?

After all, she was the one who almost had her neck broken back then.
