Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 662 Star God Ship?

Outside the grand banquet in Sichuan, the reception staff hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Hello, welcome! May I ask where you distinguished guests come from?"

The senior-level sergeants of the interstellar alliance in front did not answer, and the girl in the blue dress stepped forward.

"I am a Canglong Star person, and I came here specifically to attend this banquet."

"Is this where Chen Lie held his martial arts banquet?"

"Yes, please come in!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, a loud voice rang out: "A guest from the Azure Dragon Star has arrived!"

At the invitation of the reception staff, the girl in the blue dress walked down the red carpet to the Chuandu Grand Banquet.

Before she could even step into the grand banquet in Sichuan, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong had already come forward.

"Hello, welcome to Chen Lie's martial arts banquet. Please come in."

Lei Jinglong knew the background of the girl in the blue dress, so he didn't dare to be negligent. The girl in the blue dress hummed in agreement and, followed by two ninth-level Grandmaster-level soldiers, entered the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel.

In the hotel lobby, Chen Lie saw the girl in the blue dress and walked over to her, saying, "You're here too?"

The girl in the blue dress's previously indifferent expression suddenly changed. She smiled and nodded, saying softly, "Yes, Brother Chen, I'm sorry, am I late?"

Chen Lie said, "It's not late, you've arrived just in time!"

"Is this your martial arts banquet?"

The girl in the blue dress looked around.

"It's a martial arts banquet."

"oh oh!"

The girl in the blue dress nodded. She didn't know anything about a martial arts banquet, but seeing so many people, she knew that this was no ordinary banquet; it must be a very important one.

Canglongxing didn't like this kind of banquet, and he didn't know its significance.

"Brother Chen, I'm sorry I didn't bring any gifts to your banquet."

"I begged my dad for a long time before he finally agreed to give me two things. You, or maybe your entire planet Blue Star, might find them useful." "It's just a banquet. Everyone came empty-handed, so there's no need for gifts," Chen Lie waved his hand.

"No, that won't do." The girl in the blue dress shook her head. "Others are others, how can I come empty-handed?"

As she spoke, she took out two items from her storage bag and handed them to Chen Lie.

"I heard that Blue Star has become the main star of the 19th Interstellar Alliance."

You definitely won't need the two things I have here, but the 19th Interstellar Alliance of Blue Star will absolutely need them.

First, there is the Canglan Starfield All-Starfield Star Track Map, which marks the star tracks of the entire starfield and the location coordinates of thousands of stars. If you want to patrol the starfield, the star track map is indispensable.

Secondly, it is a military formation combat method within the Sixth Interstellar Alliance.

With the right array runes, 100 soldiers can form a military formation that unleashes over 100 times the power.

If fully utilized, an army of 100 seventh-tier martial artists can severely injure a ninth-tier grandmaster martial artist.

This is a jade slip containing star charts and military formation training methods.

The gift is meager, please don't find it offensive.

The girl in the blue dress handed two jade slips to Chen Lie. "Alright, I'll accept them!"

Chen Lie took the jade slip and casually handed it to Wang Shou.

"President Wang, please take this!"

Wang Shou was at a loss for what to do. Star charts and the formations of the interstellar alliance were exclusive to the interstellar alliance under the Ten Star Alliance. Interstellar alliances on other planets in the Central Star Region could not even get their hands on them. Now, they were being given to Blue Star so casually.

Wang Shou accepted the two jade slips, approached Chu Ling'er, and said with gratitude, "Young lady, you actually gave such precious things to Blue Star. On behalf of the billions of people of Blue Star, I express my sincere gratitude to you."

The girl in the blue dress simply said, "I don't know anything about Blue Star. This is a gift I gave to my brother Chen. You didn't get it from me, so there's no need to thank me."

Wang Shou was very embarrassed: "It's all the same, it's all the same... Chen Lie is a candidate for the governor of our Blue Star."

The people from the other four star regions were all shocked.

Who exactly is this girl in the blue dress in front of us?

He looked to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. He arrived on a warship belonging to the 6th Legion of the Canglong Star Interstellar Alliance, with so many Grandmaster martial artists and two Great Grandmasters protecting him. Moreover, he was able to give such a gift. His background was definitely not simple. He must be a nobleman from Canglong Star.

But... why does she seem so submissive to Chen Lie?

Could it be that she has feelings for Chen Lie? That's plausible. Chen Lie is a young hero who won first place among the freshmen in the Starry Sky University's martial arts competition, which would attract the affections of the daughter of a local noble family on Canglong Star.

But this possibility is extremely slim.

The representatives from the other three star regions hurriedly pressed the geniuses of each star to ask if they had also met such powerful figures at Star University.

But the answer they received was always no. The people of the Ten Star Alliance have always looked down on people from remote planets in the Four Star Regions.

When it comes to getting along with them, let alone the powerful and wealthy of Canglong Star, even ordinary family members on Canglong Star are arrogant and difficult to get along with.

"Chen Lie, who is this guest? Please introduce him to everyone," Lei Jinglong said, stepping forward.

Chen Lie said, "His name is Chu Ling'er, and he is a classmate of mine from Starry Sky University."

Everyone was puzzled. That's it? What happened to her?

Chen Lie looked at Chu Ling'er: "If it's convenient, could you introduce yourself to President Wang Shou of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association and President Lei Jinglong of Blue Star University?"

The girl in the blue dress was none other than Chu Ling'er. Upon hearing Chen Lie's words, Chu Ling'er immediately nodded: "Of course it's convenient!"

"My name is Chu Ling'er, and I am a student at Xingkong University, Xingzhangbei."

My grandfather was the governor of Hanzhou on Canglong Star, and my father was the commander of the Sixth Interstellar Alliance. President Wang Shou, Lei Jinglong, hello!

Hello, hello!

Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong both nodded in agreement.

Chen Lie's social skills are truly remarkable; he has managed to befriend such a powerful local figure from Canglong Star.

Could this be considered a close friendship?

Chen Lie noticed the group of Grandmaster-level martial artists and soldiers accompanying him outside and asked, "You brought so many people with you to Blue Star?"

"My dad was worried that I would be in danger if I went out on a star, so he assigned a team to protect me," Chu Ling'er said.

"Too!"

Chu Ling'er's father is the commander of the interstellar alliance. He usually quells countless star bandits and has many enemies. Since his only daughter is out on the planet, he naturally needs to protect her more.

Chen Lie found a spot for Chu Ling'er, and the three of them sat together with Huang Yuxi and her sister, and Chong Yuxing.

Chu Ling'er and Huang Yucheng were acquaintances. Upon seeing Huang Yucheng, Chu Ling'er couldn't help but say, "Senior Huang, you're here too? I didn't expect Brother Chen to invite you as well!"

Huang Yucheng simply nodded and said "Mmm," then, facing the junior at Xingzhangbei, she pretended to be deep in thought. Time quickly passed to noon.

The lights inside the grand banquet hall in Sichuan dimmed.

The voice of Li Zhuxian, a reporter and host from Blue Star TV, rang out.

"Welcome, distinguished guests from outer space and friends of the Chen family."

This is a banquet for Mr. Chen Lie, a candidate for the governor of Blue Star and a martial artist who has entered the ranks.

Now that all relatives and friends have arrived, the banquet officially begins. Please watch a holographic projection in the center of the hall!

……

As the sound faded, a holographic projection appeared in the middle of the grand banquet in Sichuan.

A series of scenes, accompanied by appropriate background music, unfolded in the middle of the hall.

[In the year 7362 of the Galactic Calendar, an ordinary martial arts student from a humble family enrolled in the top martial arts high school in Dongchuan Province on Blue Star, thus beginning his unique path in martial arts...]

A deep voice, accompanied by a holographic projection, immediately drew everyone's attention.

[In the year 7364 of the Galactic Calendar, after more than two years of arduous martial arts training, he had gained very little...] [In the same year, at the age of seventeen, his Qi and Blood value finally broke through 1...]

In the holographic projection, a boy's back is shown, diligently practicing martial arts, enduring the coldest days of summer and the hottest days of winter.

[In the same month, his Qi and Blood value exceeded 3, and he joined the Elite Class 5 of the top martial arts high school in Dongchuan Province...]

[In the same year, he won first place in the school-wide martial arts competition at Dongchuan Province's No. 1 Key Martial Arts High School and joined the Dongchuan Province Genius Training Camp.]

[In the year 7365 of the Galactic Calendar, his martial arts progressed by leaps and bounds, and he entered the Dongchuan Province Youth Genius Team. He achieved enlightenment...]

[In May of the same year, he won the provincial martial arts competition and became the champion of Dongchuan Province...]

[In the same month, he made further progress in martial arts, winning the title of Martial Arts Champion in the 7365 Sichuan Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, becoming the first Martial Arts Champion from Dongchuan Province to achieve this feat...]

In June of the same year, he joined Blue Star University, where he continued to diligently practice martial arts.

His martial arts progressed rapidly, and despite coming from an impoverished province, he overpowered the major martial arts provinces of Blue Star...

[In November of Galactic Calendar 7365, the competition for the permanent council seat of the Eastern Star Region began. He turned the tide and helped his home planet seize the position of permanent council seat, earning the title of the number one in the Eastern Star Region and becoming famous far and wide...]

The holographic projection images kept changing, and the background music became more exciting.

[At the end of the same year, he entered Starry Sky University and joined the Starry Sky University Martial Arts Department...] [In April of Galaxy Calendar 7366, he won first place among the freshmen in the Starry Sky University's school-wide martial arts competition.]

He became the first freshman in the thousand-year history of Starry Sky University who was not from a planet outside the Ten Star Alliance, and his name as a martial arts genius, appearing only once in a thousand years in the Eastern Star Region, spread far and wide...

[The following month, the struggle for command of the four star regions began. He once again turned the tide, enabling the Eastern Star Region to successfully seize control of the Interstellar Alliance, thus making a great contribution to Blue Star and the Eastern Star Region.]

[His name is Chen Lie, and his path in martial arts has only just begun...]

……

This holographic information profile shocked everyone, including the extraterrestrial guests.

"No... Brother Chen, it only took you a little over a year to go from having a Qi and Blood value of over 1 to becoming a fourth-tier martial artist?"

How is that possible?

Among the three, Chong Yuxing, Hou Yutan couldn't help but speak.

Qiao Xuanxi and Nie Cheng, who were standing to the side, were also incredulous.

Huang Yucheng murmured, "His family background is ordinary, and he only started practicing martial arts at the age of 17. This is too unreasonable. At this rate, even the top geniuses of our Canglong Star are far inferior to him."

"Sister, what do you think?" Huang Yucheng looked at Huang Yuxi.

Huang Yuxi said quietly, "Geniuses naturally have their extraordinary qualities, there's nothing to say about that."

Think about yourself, how long did it take you to break through to the Five Elements Convergence Realm? And Chen Lie?

Huang Yucheng was stunned. Is this enlightenment?

This was the first time she had ever seen an enlightened person. At 17, his blood and qi value was in the single digits. Wasn't that just a complete waste?

However, becoming a fourth-level True Qi Extreme Realm martial artist in just over a year has already surpassed the standard of genius.

Could she also achieve enlightenment in this way?

Chu Ling'er was used to these things. In her opinion, Chen Lie's behavior was normal; it would be abnormal if he were worse.

……

The representatives from the four star regions all had different expressions at this moment.

Chen Lie has really risen to prominence in just over a year, that's terrifying!

If this pace continues, Blue Star will one day be able to join the ranks of the true Ten-Star Alliance. At this moment, Chen Lie's relatives and friends were greatly shocked. Having witnessed Chen Lie's progress in martial arts so directly, they were all speechless.

"Alright, the holographic projection is complete. I'm sure all of you distinguished guests from beyond the stars have gained some understanding of the main character of our banquet."

Let's not overstep our bounds; let the host family take the lead in hosting the banquet!

……

Before the banquet, the Blue Star officials who were in charge of organizing the banquet had already told Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan that the Blue Star officials would be responsible for receiving the guests from outside the planet, and they only needed to entertain their own relatives and friends.

Chen Gequn and Feng Yuelan came out to greet the guests.

As the main character of the banquet, Chen Lie was led by Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong to greet the guests from the Four Star Regions.

Upon arriving before the representatives of the Four Star Regions, Chen Lie said, "Distinguished guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend..."

"Mr. Chen Lie, congratulations on becoming a martial artist..."

"In my opinion, within twenty years, Blue Star will probably have another tenth-level Celestial Master martial artist."

"More than that? In my opinion, even becoming a Grandmaster isn't impossible..."

Representatives from the four star regions congratulated Chen Lie, and Chen Lie responded to each one.

At this moment, Ji Yuyan from Langya Star in the Southern Star Region came out.

"Hello, Chen Lie!"

Chen Lie nodded to Ji Yuyan: "Hello!"

"Actually, I can guess that you must have cultivated a consciousness spirit when you were 17 years old."

Ji Yuyan had already guessed that Chen Lie's consciousness was the Dark Ghost Dragon, the number one consciousness leader in the Canglan Star Region.

Cultivating this kind of spiritual awareness would provide an absolutely terrifying boost to martial arts talent, which explains why Chen Lie's martial arts suddenly progressed by leaps and bounds.

"Oh? How did you come to that conclusion?"

Chen Lie did not refute, but asked a question.

"So, you're admitting it?"

"I didn't admit it," Chen Lie shook his head.

Whether Chen Liecheng admits it or not, Ji Yuyan is convinced. "We all cultivate spiritual power, can I add you as a contact?" Ji Yuyan asked.

At this moment, at Lei Jinglong's instruction, a staff member returned Chen Lie's communication bracelet.

Chen Lie took the communication bracelet and said, "It's possible, but there's no signal right now."

"It's okay, just give me your account number and I'll write it down."

We'll record it again after we get back to Starry Sky University.

Chen Lie gave the account to Ji Yuyan.

After greeting Dou from the Four Directions Star Domain, Chen Lie returned to his parents' place.

The main hall of the grand banquet in Chuandu was divided into two sections: one for guests from outer space and the other for Chen Lie's family and friends. Although there was no barrier between them, people on both sides generally did not cross the line.

"Chen Lie!"

As soon as Chen Lie arrived, he heard a voice. He turned around and saw Wang Hui greeting him.

"Wang Hui, when did you arrive?" Chen Lie asked as he walked over.

"We arrived at daybreak today," Wang Shou said. "These are all our classmates; they came with me."

Chen Lie looked at the dozen or so people with Wang Hui.

He felt that these people looked familiar, but he recognized only a few of them.

"Congratulations, Chen Lie, on becoming a martial artist!"

A beautiful young woman stepped out and extended a handshake invitation to Chen Lie.

Chen Lie recognized the beautiful girl; it was Qin Siyu.

Chen Lie nodded, shook hands with Qin Siyu, and said "thank you".

"Since these classmates all came with you, why don't you take care of them for me?" Chen Lie said to Wang Hui.

"Okay, you go ahead with your work, don't worry about us," Wang Shou said.

The banquet was in progress on both sides. Chen Lie went to the place where relatives and friends were gathered and greeted them one by one.

Just then, a deafening sound suddenly rang out outside, as if the sky were collapsing.

Led by the leaders of Blue Star, representatives from the four star regions walked out of the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hall. Chu Ling'er's guards also rushed into the Chuandu Grand Banquet Hotel to protect her.

Outside the grand banquet in Chuandu, the air currents in the sky suddenly surged violently, and half of the sky turned dark.

A sudden surge of heavy air pressure appeared, distorting even space itself, and the sound of the sky cracking was incessant.

"What's going on?"

Wang Shou asked in a deep voice.

The representatives from the other four star regions were all confused and began to speculate.

Could this be some kind of natural disaster that has occurred on Earth?

The high command of Blue Star immediately issued an order for the entire army to be on high alert, and thousands of guards were put into a state of wartime readiness.

Above the sky, due to the distortion of space, a huge circular black hole was formed.

A huge, pitch-black object emerged from the black hole.

"What is that?"

Someone pointed to the sky and asked. Soon, the enormous, dark thing emerged completely from the black hole, which quickly disappeared, and the violent turbulence of the air subsided instantly.

Above the sky, there appeared something that looked like a starship, but it was hundreds or thousands of times larger than a warship-style starship, like a city floating in the sky.

"What a huge starship!"

"Is that a starship?"

……

Amidst the cacophony of sounds, Qi Tai, the dean of the Langya Star Martial Academy in the Southern Star Region, said somewhat uncertainly, "That looks like... a Star God Ship?"

"Starship?"

"The Star God Ship is the ultimate warship-style starship. Its enormous destructive power is enough to kill a tenth-level Celestial Master. If it has enough energy, it can destroy a planet in a short time."

It also possesses the ability to blast through spatial barriers, allowing it to traverse space within a range of tens of millions of stars.

"This is the star-protecting treasure of the Ten Star Alliance planet. Why is it here?" Qi Tai asked.

Outside the grand banquet in Chuandu, Huang Yucheng couldn't help but say, "Sister, isn't this one of the two great star ships of our Canglong Star?"

"Who drove it here?" Huang Yuxi looked at the colossal object in the sky that resembled a floating city and said, "Who else could it be? Apart from the families of the Canglong Star Council members, no one can mobilize the Star God Ship."

Huang Yucheng said, "Doesn't the Canglong Star Political Council only have a dozen or so members?"
