Chen Lie slowly said, "Exchange is possible, but it must be in exchange for cultivation resources. I don't want any secret techniques or martial arts."
I just heard you say that you drew a tainted martial arts treasure, and you'd like to trade it with me!
"this----"
Tang Guanlin paused, then said, "Classmate, I'm currently refining the First Dirty, and the martial arts treasures for refining the Dirty are exactly what I urgently need. Otherwise, how about I exchange one resource with you?"
Chen Lie said, "Nonsense, what I want is a refined martial arts treasure. I'll ask you one more time, are you going to trade or not?"
Chi Naixue frowned and said, "Classmate, isn't your request a bit too unreasonable?"
The rare martial arts treasures for the Dirty Refining stage are only applicable to the Dirty Refining stage. It just so happens that Tang Guanlin is currently in the Dirty Refining stage. What you need are the resources he urgently needs. How about he exchanges some resources that you can use with you?
For example, a thousand-year-old spiritual herb or a rare martial arts treasure that enhances the purity or strength of one's qi and blood?
"Not good at all!" Chen Lie glanced at Chi Naixue indifferently and said, "I already said, what I want is this rare martial arts treasure used for refining. Don't give me any other excuses. Take it or leave it!"
Seeing Chen Lie's attitude towards her, Chi Naixue couldn't help but feel a little angry.
But after all, those things belonged to Chen Lie. If she were to make a fuss about it, wouldn't she appear arrogant and domineering?
Tang Guanlin had no choice but to say, "In that case, I am willing to exchange my martial arts treasures used for purification with my classmate."
"Wait a minute."
Chen Lie interrupted Tang Guanlin and said calmly, "The martial arts treasures used for purification are rare, but their value is not as high as this Five Elements Purification Method. If you want to exchange them, you will need to offer more."
The girl watching from the side shook her head and said, "People from this small place are so ungrateful."
In Sichuan province, a blood energy value of 1,000 calories is enough to join the province's youth genius team. The fact that he was not among the first batch of students to enter Blue Star University means that he is not a member of the genius team, which means that his blood energy value is less than 1,000 calories.
"But it doesn't matter if we force him into our Hunan-Guangdong province. He's not even worthy to stand with those of us at the pinnacle of Qi and Blood."
The girl next to her whispered, "Shh, keep your voice down. They have powerful connections; they might know some big shots at Blue Star University. If they hold a grudge, you'll be in trouble!"
"Tch, what's so great about having a strong background? In the Martial Arts Era, as long as you are strong enough, no matter how powerful your background is, it can't suppress you," the girl said nonchalantly.
Tang Guanlin's expression changed. Did this mean he knew Tang Guanlin needed a manual for the Refining Stage, and that's why he was making such an outrageous demand?
He suppressed his anger and said calmly, "What you said makes sense, classmate. However, when I came to Blue Star University, I came alone and didn't bring any martial arts resources. I only had two resource books issued by the Blue Star Martial Arts Association. I'll add two more resource books in exchange for your Five Elements Refining Technique, is that alright?"
Seeing Chen Lie's expressionless face, Tang Guanlin thought that Chen Lie was not satisfied and was about to speak when the girl next to him named Gao Yaqing said indifferently, "Student Tang, people from small places in Sichuan may not have seen the resource booklet issued by the Martial Arts Association."
People don't know its value; they'll think what you've brought out is just waste paper!
Upon hearing this, Tang Guanlin explained, "The Resource Gold Book is distributed from the headquarters of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association to various provinces. It can be exchanged for resources of corresponding value at any Martial Arts Association on Blue Star, such as rare martial arts treasures and millennium-old spiritual herbs."
"Okay, let's change it like this!" Chen Lie nodded.
After exchanging the Five Elements Refining Technique crystal manual at the resource category hall counter, Chen Lie exchanged it with Tang Guanlin for the same Refining Stage martial arts treasure and two resource gold books.
At this point, Chen Lie had a total of 17 resource books, which meant that for a considerable period of time to come, he would no longer have to worry about resources to enhance his Qi and blood.
Tang Guanlin was also satisfied to have obtained the cultivation method for the Refining Stage.
"Tang, is this Five Elements Refining Technique really as powerful as the legends say?" Chi Naixue asked.
Tang Guanlin nodded and said, "Zhou Yang, the martial arts champion of our Sudong Province's genius team, practiced this 'Five Elements Refining Method' during his Refining Stage. It is indeed very powerful."
"So it was the cultivation method of the martial arts champions from the top ten provinces of Blue Star during their refining stage. That's really powerful!" Chi Naixue said.
"I also want to thank you for speaking up for me earlier, Chi. If you don't mind, I'd like to share this method of refining dirt with you once I've mastered it."
"Okay, it's settled then."
Chi Naixue nodded gently, a sweet smile on her face.
After everyone received their entrance awards, a staff member stepped forward and said, "Students, I am now giving each of you a credit card. The credit cards are refreshed at the end of each month, and you will have one thousand credits each month."
The credit card is registered under your name; if you lose it, you can get a replacement at the school administration office anytime.
Next, the staff began distributing credit cards to everyone.
After receiving their credit cards, the students returned to their dormitories in the teaching building.
Huang Yuande walked up to Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, your refining technique is quite powerful. Isn't it a bit of a loss to exchange it for such a small amount?"
Chen Huafeng said from the side, "There is definitely some loss, but it can't be considered a big loss. That kind of martial arts treasure at the Refining stage is a top-tier first-order martial arts treasure. I just checked, and it costs 800 credits."
Two resource books, let's say 400 credits each, totaling 1200 credits, mean I've lost 300 credits.
"Three hundred credits is not a small amount; it's equivalent to one-third of the credits earned by top students each month."
Huang Yuande said.
Chen Lie said, "I won't lose money. That gate to the Dirty Refining stage is of no use to me. I might as well exchange it for resources."
"That shouldn't have let that pretentious Tang Guanlin take advantage of this. Damn it, just now, most of the girls in the class defended that guy surnamed Tang. Even Chi Naixue spoke up for Tang. She used to be so aloof in the genius training camp, and she didn't even give the male god a second glance. How come she changed her attitude when she saw that guy surnamed Tang?"
"Chen Lie, don't you have connections at Blue Star University? Find a way to put that damn Tang guy in his place."
Chen Lie glanced at Huang Yuande: "You're unhappy with Tang Guanlin because of that girl named Chi Naixue's attitude towards him, right?"
Huang Yuande said awkwardly, "While that is indeed one of the reasons, it's not the main one!"
Didn't you see how arrogant that guy surnamed Tang was? If it weren't for the fact that we weren't incapable, every single student in our Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp would want to beat him up.
Chen Lie grunted and said, "I really don't have any background. Since you dislike him so much..."
If I ever have the chance to face him in the ring again, I'll teach him a lesson for you.
"Holy crap, his Qi and Blood value during the Refining stage is at least 4000 calories. Even someone like Chen Huafeng, who is at the peak of Qi and Blood, probably couldn't withstand a single move from him. Going to the fighting stage with him? You'd better not even think about it," Huang Yuande said.
Chen Lie didn't say anything more, but walked forward.
Back in the teaching building, Chen Lie went straight to the dormitories on the 12th floor and above. Seeing that the 12th, 13th and 14th floors were almost full, Chen Lie chose a room on the 15th floor as his dormitory.
Upon entering the room for the first time, Chen Lie completed the real-person authentication process following the smart prompts at the door.
At that moment, Huang Yuande, who was standing next to him, also completed the verification and said, "Chen Lie, we're neighbors now. Remember to let me know when you have martial arts class, so we can go together!"
After Chen Lie nodded, he went into the dormitory room.
The dormitory room is about 80 square meters, with a living room, bedroom, and washroom. The living room has a sofa, coffee table, and TV. The environment is much better than the previous temporary dormitory.
After washing up, Chen Lie turned on the TV and watched the Blue Star Times for a while before going into the bedroom.
Just as Chen Lie sat cross-legged on the bed in the bedroom, he heard a green notification from the communicator.
Upon opening it, I found a green bubble message from Ruan Liusu.
Liu Su: "Chen Lie, I saw people from your Dongchuan Province genius team in the genius class, why aren't you there?"
Are you in the super-gifted class?
Chen Lie replied, "I'm in the honors class!"
Liu Su: "With your title as the top martial arts champion in Sichuan and three provinces, plus your status as a rising star in the Northwest, you should have no problem being placed in the super genius class. How come you're in the honors class?"
Chen Lie: "Something happened, and the Martial Arts Association headquarters ordered me to be punished."
Tassel: "The Blue Star Martial Arts Association is punishing you? Why?"
Chen Lie: "It's nothing trivial."
Liusu: "Which honors class are you in? I'd like to come see you?"
Chen Lie: "It's the 15th key class, but classes haven't officially started yet. I just arrived at Lanxing University yesterday, along with the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp."
Liusu: "Okay, then I'll come see you in a few days!"
After replying with "OK", Chen Lie exited to the Green Bubble friends interface and found that Luo Zhixun had also sent him a message at noon today, asking which class he was assigned to.
After replying with "15th Elite Class", Chen Lie tossed the communicator aside, sat cross-legged, and began cultivating the Star God Cultivation Method of the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter".
The night passed in the blink of an eye. The next morning, Chen Lie was still cultivating the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter" when he heard a commotion outside the door.
"Are you awake, Chen Lie? Let's go to the classroom on the second floor together and listen to the professor's lecture!"
Chen Lie got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, opened the door, and saw Huang Yuande and Chen Huafeng standing outside the door.
Let's go!
Chen Lie nodded and walked out the door.
"I heard that in the 15th key class, besides our Hunan-Guangdong Province special recruits, there are also Tianjin-Hai Province special recruits and Jiangsu-Nan Province special recruits. Jiangsu-Nan Province's martial arts index ranking is two places behind ours, but only two places, so the difference is almost negligible. However, Tianjin-Hai Province is one of the top ten provinces on Blue Star. Their Tianjin-Hai Province Genius Training Camp should be very strong, right?" Huang Yuande looked at Chen Huafeng.
Chen Huafeng shook his head: "Among the top 20 provinces on Blue Star, the difference between the fifth and sixth place in martial arts index is very small. Jinhai Province is only the eighth-ranked province on Blue Star. It is not much stronger than our Xiangguang Province. Even if it is stronger than us, it is only in the top combat strength. The difference between the students in the genius training camp is not much. They are not a level above us. Just treat them with normal mindset."
"That's true. The top ten martial arts provinces on Earth are prestigious no matter where they are."
"You don't know, apart from the top three provinces of Blue Star—Lanjing, Jingji, and Longhai—whose rankings are as stable as Mount Tai, the rankings of the other provinces change almost every year. Our Hunan and Guangdong provinces were once ranked tenth on Blue Star a few years ago, and Jiangsu Province, which is now ranked 14th, was ranked eighth on Blue Star three years ago," Chen Huafeng said.
"Is that so?" Huang Yuande shook his head.
Before long, Chen Lie and his two companions arrived at the second floor of the teaching building, which was the classroom where the instructors were giving lectures.
There are now no fewer than a hundred students in the classroom.
As soon as Chen Lie and the others walked in, they heard people talking.
"It is said that the professor has taken on another batch of students from Hunan and Guangdong provinces."
"Hunan-Guangdong Province? It seems to be the 12th province on Earth. I wonder what its quality is like."
"It should be similar to our Jinhai Province. However, Mu Ningshu from our Jinhai Province Genius Training Camp once challenged members of the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Team head-on during the martial arts competition and did not fall behind. The number one student from the Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp is definitely no match for her."
Chen Lie, Huang Yuande, and Chen Huafeng found an empty seat in the middle and sat down to wait for class to begin.
Students kept coming in through the classroom door, and soon the classroom was full.
At eight o'clock, Pang Xiuming, the tutor of the 15th key class, walked into the classroom.
Pang Xiuming walked up to the podium, glanced at the students below, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Pang Xiuming, the tutor of the 15th key class of Blue Star University."
The students below shouted in unison, "Hello, Professor!"
Pang Xiuming nodded and said, "Students, today is our first class at Blue Star University. Before we begin, let me give you a brief introduction."
Our 15th key class has students from Tianjin, Haikou, Hunan, Guangdong, and southern Jiangsu provinces. Of course, there are also a few transfer students, but the majority are from these three provinces.
Special admissions representatives from the three provinces: Mu Ningshu from Tianjin-Haikou Province, Liu Hengyu from Jiangsu Province, and Chi Naixue from Hunan-Guangdong Province, please stand up.
As soon as Pang Xiuming finished speaking, two stunningly beautiful girls and a handsome boy stood up.
"Three students, I asked you to stand up so that the rest of the students can get to know you."
Because I plan to select one of you three as the class monitor for the 15th key class.
The student who serves as class monitor will have their monthly credits doubled. I will arrange a friendly competition between the three of you in the next two days. The winner will become the class monitor of our 15th key class.
After class, the three of you can get to know each other. Okay, sit down.
The three who stood up—Chi Naixue, Liu Hengyu, and Mu Ningshu—each glanced at the other two before sitting down.
"Students, the official Blue Star organization requires all Blue Star University students to learn about the grim situation Blue Star is currently facing in their first lesson at Blue Star University."
Before I begin my lecture, I'd like to ask everyone, what dire situation is our planet currently facing?
Pang Xiuming glanced at the students below the stage.
"It's a strange beast from the Northwest!" a student raised his hand and answered.
