Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 667 Return to Starry Sky University

Left with no other choice, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong had to question the Blue Star Governor on the spot.

People from the other planets in the Southern Star Region also watched with curiosity how Blue Star would handle the situation.

This matter is difficult to handle no matter how you look at it. Both Chen Lie and Yan Cheng are candidates for governor of Blue Star who have made great contributions. Chen Lie is currently riding high and has made great contributions to Blue Star, making it soar to new heights. However, Yan Cheng has also made great contributions to Blue Star and has grown up, joining the Canglan Army and becoming a colonel.

If something like this happens, it would be unfair to Chen Lie, a rising star and great contributor, not to punish Yan Cheng. But if you do punish Yan Cheng, Yan Cheng will not succeed.

These representatives from the Southern Star Region knew perfectly well that Yan Cheng's attack on Chen Lie in this setting meant he was prepared to be punished after teaching Chen Lie a lesson. In that case, being punished would be worthwhile.

But now that Yan Cheng failed to make his move, he will definitely feel resentful if he is punished again.

Before long, Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong contacted the governor and received his opinion.

Wang Shou said, "Chen Lie, the governor's opinion has been conveyed. Yan Cheng attacked you and attempted to harm you. The nature of his actions is extremely malicious. The Blue Star Political Council has decided to strip him of his governor candidate status and detain him for two months as a warning to others."

"Did I hear that right?" Huang Yuxi said, "Stripping someone of a nominal title and detaining them for two months? Is that considered punishment?"

Your Earth is truly unworthy of having geniuses.

Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong's expressions froze: "Then what do you think, Miss?"

Yan Cheng is a colonel in the Canglan Army; we on Blue Star have no right to deal with him. Detaining him for two months is a grave offense.

"If you ask me, we should strip this person of his Earth citizenship, punish his entire family, expel him from Earth, and never allow him to enter the country again."

Huang Yuxi's words made Yan Cheng's face darken. In fact, he was already extremely angry when he heard Wang Shou's punishment plan.

"Chen Lie's achievements need no further explanation. He single-handedly secured the fate of Blue Star for hundreds or even thousands of years. But Yan Cheng has also made contributions to Blue Star. Your suggestion is rather unreasonable."

"Human relationships? Chen Lie possesses the potential of a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm. As a leader of a one-star organization, he should know that in the face of this situation, trying to please both sides will most likely result in him not pleasing either side in the end."

Those with foresight will choose to bet on the side with the greatest potential, completely abandoning the other side.

"Girl, you're going too far. It's just a conflict between classmates, not some irreconcilable mortal enemy."

Lei Jinglong quickly said, "Chen Lie, you know the situation of Blue Star. Blue Star has no right to deal with that traitor Chang Fukun."

Yan Cheng's sudden attack on you was wrong. Here's what we'll do: we guarantee to strip him of his candidacy for the position of Blue Star Governor, issue a global public reprimand, and detain him for three months.

Are you satisfied with this punishment?

Chen Lie nodded: "Then let's say that!"

Chen Lie agreed to Lei Jinglong's proposal because he knew that the Yan family was deeply rooted in Blue Star. He was not strong enough at the moment. Small conflicts were acceptable, but a life-or-death struggle was not yet the time.

He still needs to return to Starry Sky University, and his parents and relatives are all on Blue Star. Before he has the strength to completely eradicate the Yan family, he cannot do too much.

Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Chen Lie and Yan Cheng were not mortal enemies; it was just a dispute. How could it have gone to such an extreme?

Wang Shou and Lei Jinglong comforted Chen Lie with kind words, and after confirming that Chen Lie was not acting strangely, they personally took Yan Cheng away and detained him.

There's a proper way to handle detention. No one on Blue Star has ever detained a Canglan military officer directly under the Holy Envoy Hall. This has to be discussed with Yan Cheng.

"Chen Lie, shall we go?"

Seeing that the situation had calmed down, Huang Yuxi immediately invited Chen Lie to return to Canglong Star together.

Chen Lie nodded: "Okay!"

Just as Chen Lie and Huang Yuxi were leaving, Qi Tai also brought Ji Yuyan over, so that she could go back to Starry Sky University with Chen Lie.

After the four of them boarded the starship, it instantly took off and sped away from Blue Star.

"Starship sets sail, destination: Azure Sky University in the Central Star Region —"

At that moment, a report suddenly rang out from inside the starship.

After the starship had been flying for a while, the voice came again: "The starship has entered the interstellar route. Accelerator activated at five times speed. Estimated arrival at Canglong Star in eleven hours and fifty minutes."

On the starship, Huang Yuxi looked at Chen Lie.

"Do you have a grudge against that Yan Cheng from earlier?"

Chen Lie asked curiously, "Why is the teaching assistant asking these questions?"

"I possess a martial arts sense that allows me to perceive the hatred and killing intent you are trying so hard to suppress."

"We do have some past grievances," Chen Lie said.

"In two years at most, you will have the strength to kill that person. At that time, don't hesitate, just kill him and make it a fait accompli. Your achievements are there for all to see, and your potential is enormous. Blue Star will not impose any substantial punishment on you," Huang Yuxi said.

"What martial artists value is a clear mind. As I just said, you have the potential to become a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Realm. A Grandmaster of the Heavenly Realm has a lifespan of 280 years and strength equivalent to half a True Yuan Martial Artist."

But to reach that state, you must have a pure mind and clear thoughts; otherwise, you will not be able to overcome the mental and spiritual difficulties.

Chen Lie knew that Huang Yuxi was referring to the Five Signs of Decline between Heaven and Man before breaking through to the True Essence Realm, the last of the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations, the Tribulation of the Mind and Spirit.

Having survived the Five Decays and Three Tribulations of a Celestial Being, one becomes a Grandmaster of Celestial Beings, possessing the physique of a True Essence Warrior, with the Original Force Seed transforming into a True Essence Seed, and possessing the power of most of a True Essence Warrior.

"To overcome mental distress, one must also have clear thinking?" Chen Lie asked.

"A clear mind and a pure heart are necessary conditions for overcoming mental and spiritual difficulties. The specifics depend on your attachments. If your attachments are too deep, then the difficulty of overcoming this difficulty will be ten times greater than that of ordinary people."

If your hatred or murderous intent towards someone reaches a certain level, then you must deal with them before you lose control of your mind; you must do it yourself.

"Once you have the strength, you must act immediately to prevent him from dying at someone else's hands. Otherwise, your thoughts will never be so clear. As far as I know, the Canglan Army is quite dangerous; countless officers die in battle every year. I'm worried you won't be able to make it in time."

"Thanks for the reminder, teaching assistant!"

Chen Lie noted it down. It seemed that the Yan family's matter had to be dealt with. In his previous life, he had lived in fear for more than ten years under the Yan family's high-pressure search and arrest. He even went to outer space. Every time he thought of that experience, his heart would tremble.

The way to overcome fear is to confront it and destroy it with your own hands.

After Huang Yuxi's reminder, Chen Lie understood that even if he only considered his own future martial arts career, he had to eliminate the Yan family.

Ji Yuyan and Huang Yucheng, who were sitting inside the starship, paid no attention to the conversation between Chen Lie and Huang Yuxi.

After flying for more than eleven hours, the starship finally arrived at Canglong Starry Sky University.

The group disembarked from the starship together. Huang Yuxi turned to Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, you have now broken through to the Five Qi Gathering stage. Consolidate your strength."

It's already past mid-May, and midterms are just around the corner. If you do well, there will be a special reward.

"Okay, I understand!" Chen Lie nodded.

"Well, it's getting late now, you should go back. I'll tell you about the midterm exam process in a few days," Huang Yuxi said.

Chen Lie nodded and watched Huang Yuxi and her sister leave.

Then Chen Lie glanced at Ji Yuyan and said, "I am a dual student of Martial Arts and Mental Strength. Martial Arts is my major. After completing the certification for Mental Strength, I haven't reported yet. I would like to ask you about the reporting process."

Ji Yuyan replied, "Then you can find me in the Department of Psychology. I'm also from the Department of Psychology at the Tian Er Campus. I'll tell you then that the Department of Psychology is my major."

"Okay, you can go back now!"

Please approve my contact request.

Chen Lie nodded, opened his communication bracelet, and sure enough, he saw Ji Yuyan's contact entry application.

So Chen Lie readily agreed, and at that moment, he saw another message from Shen Jiuxi.

Shen Jiuxi: Senior Shi asked me to tell you that if you don't go back to help him manage the spirit fields, he will personally come and capture you.

Chen Lie calculated the time; it had been almost a month since he returned to Blue Star. When he asked the True Essence Elder for leave last time, he said it would be at most half a month, but he had indeed exceeded that time.

He glanced at the time; it was four or five in the morning, just the right time to make a trip.

After letting Ji Yuyan leave, Chen Lie went to the courtyard in the primeval forest of the Tian Er campus.

He took an airship and arrived at the courtyard of the True Yuan Warrior.

Upon entering the courtyard, Chen Lie first observed the spiritual plants and herbs in the spiritual field. He discovered that the spiritual plants in the field had hardly grown since he left.

No wonder that old man with true essence made Shen Jiuxi urge him.

After observing the condition of the spiritual plants, Chen Lie went to the small house next to the spiritual field and brought out the spiritual water, spiritual liquid, and vessels.

He first prepared special spiritual water to irrigate the spiritual field based on its condition. Then, he observed the condition of each of the more than one hundred spiritual plants in the field and prepared spiritual liquids for each plant to irrigate.

This was a huge undertaking. Chen Lie hadn't even finished watering a third of the spiritual plants when the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The old man with the true essence walked out of the house.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, he said, "Kid, you're finally back."

"Greetings, senior!"

Chen Lie put down the vessel in his hand and cupped his hands in greeting to the True Essence Elder.

"You go about your business, don't worry about me."

The True Essence Warrior waved his hand.

"yes!"

Chen Lie began preparing special spiritual liquid for the spiritual plants once again.

"Old man, I remember you went back to participate in some battle for your home planet. Did you succeed?" the True Essence Elder asked.

"We succeeded by sheer luck."

"Well, it wasn't a waste of your month-long trip."

The old man nodded and moved a wooden chair to sit down in front of the courtyard.

It was around six o'clock in the morning when Shen Jiuxi, carrying a black sword box, arrived in the courtyard.

Shen Jiuxi saw Chen Lie busy beside the spirit field and was surprised that Chen Lie had returned so quickly.

She approached the elder with the True Essence and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Senior Shi."

The old man nodded and said, "Little girl from the Shen family, I'm not trying to criticize you, but while your talent in martial arts is passable, you're really not good at managing spirit fields."

Look at this! I've entrusted the spirit field to you for a month, and look at the mess you've made of it!"

"This junior is foolish, please forgive me, senior!"

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. Ask that kid if he still needs you."

"If he needs your help, you can come every day. If not, don't come anymore!" said the elder Zhenyuan.

Shen Jiuxi's expression changed. She hadn't expected that Chen Lie would be able to influence her future.

"yes!"

Shen Jiuxi bowed to the True Essence Elder, then came to Chen Lie's side. Without Chen Lie's instruction, she bent down to help move the spiritual liquid in the vessel.

Given Shen Jiuxi's arrogant attitude on Blue Star, Chen Lie deliberately spilled a cup of spiritual liquid and immediately pointed at her nose to scold her.

"What's wrong with you? You're just getting in the way and delaying things."

Go home, we don't need you here!

Shen Jiuxi was taken aback. How could she not know that Chen Lie was deliberately ostracizing her?

"you----"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Planting spirit herbs is delicate work. You're clumsy and will only make things worse. Don't come starting tomorrow!"

Faced with Chen Lie's harsh criticism, Shen Jiuxi's anger surged up instantly.

But this wasn't the place for her to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to suppress it and look at Chen Lie with pleading eyes.

o

Chen Lie remained unmoved. After reprimanding Shen Jiuxi, he said, "Alright, stop causing trouble and get out of here!"

Shen Jiuxi took a deep breath and had no choice but to step aside.

Seeing this, the old man with true essence stood up and said, "Little girl from the Shen family, since this boy doesn't need you, you don't need to come anymore."

"At your age, you should be practicing martial arts. What are you doing always hanging around this old man's yard?"

"Senior, I—"

"No need to say anything more, you can leave!"

Shen Jiuxi bit her lip, said "Yes," and had no choice but to turn and leave.

After Shen Jiuxi left, Chen Lie spent several more hours preparing the spiritual liquid and watering all the spiritual plants in the spiritual field.

All the spiritual plants in the spiritual field have been completely renewed, and their growth stages are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After doing all this, Chen Lie moved all the spiritual liquid, vessels, and spiritual water back to the room next door.

The elder with true essence arrived at the spirit field, observed for a moment, and said, "Young man, your technique is quite good, much better than that little girl from the Shen family!"

"You flatter me, senior!"

"Have you finished taking care of them for today?"

"Yes!"

"To be continued tomorrow!"

After finishing with the spiritual field, Chen Lie left the True Essence Elder's courtyard.

As soon as he left the courtyard, Chen Lie saw Shen Jiuxi waiting in the distance.

Chen Lie ignored her and left directly.

"Wait a minute!"

Shen Jiuxi stopped Chen Lie, gritting her teeth as she asked, "What do you want?"

"What, how is it?"

"What do you want me to do to help you?"

"Help me out? Are you kidding me? Aren't you from a powerful family like Samsung? How can you be my assistant?"

Shen Jiuxi took a deep breath and said, "State your conditions. What do you want?"

"Weren't you so arrogant? Why don't you just bring your Starship over here and fire a few shots at us, and that'll do the trick?"
