Chapter 258 Martial Arts Champion of Southern Jiangsu Province
The girl next to Ruan Liusu said, "Isn't this normal? Our Jiangsu Province is ranked 14th in the Blue Star Martial Arts Index, so we must carry forward the spirit of daring to be the first in the world."
Dongchuan Province ranks in the 70s in martial arts index, so being last is quite normal.
Ruan Liusu introduced, "This is my friend, Zhao Ziyan, who is also a member of our Sunan Province Genius Team."
Chen Lie hummed in agreement: "How long have you been here?"
"Today is the fourth day. This time, our Jiangsu Province has 2,120 specially recruited students."
"The military training mission is to hunt down 100 second-tier alien beasts and more than 2,000 first-tier alien beasts. We've already completed 70-80% of the mission," Ruan Liusu said.
"Oh, then your Jiangsu Province is quite strong overall." Chen Lie nodded.
Zhao Ziyan said, "Based on the martial arts index ranking of our Southern Jiangsu Province, anyone can tell how strong our province is overall, right?"
Chen Lie ignored Zhao Ziyan. Dongchuan Province, a bottom-ranked province on Earth, was nothing but a small-town country bumpkin compared to a martial arts-developed province like Southern Jiangsu.
Let alone southern Jiangsu Province, any province in the top 30 on Earth would probably look down on Dongchuan Province.
Of the 89 provinces on Earth, Dongchuan Province ranks 76th, almost tenth from the bottom. It's normal for Zhao Ziyan to look down on him; people like Ruan Liusu are the exceptions.
"Don't you have my Green Bubble? After our province's military training is completed in a couple of days, if you have any difficulties, I can come and help you complete the mission," Ruan Liusu said.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I probably won't need it," Chen Lie said.
"I know that there are few special students in your Dongchuan Province, probably only five hundred or so. But as I just said, I hunted nearly a hundred strange beasts, and that was done with the help of two students in the Refining Stage."
Hunting a beast alone is quite difficult.
In Dongchuan, there probably aren't many people who have the strength to confront the alien beasts head-on, right?
"With just you and these few people, it's probably going to be a struggle to complete the military training."
Zhao Ziyan, standing next to him, was speechless. He was just a blind date arranged by his family. Was it really necessary to help him like this?
Although he is also the champion of a provincial martial arts competition, his province is one of the poorest provinces on Blue Star, and he is not comparable to the champion of their Southern Jiangsu Province at all.
Seeing that Ruan Liusu was so considerate of him, Chen Lie nodded and said, "Alright, if I ever encounter any difficulties, I will definitely ask you for help."
Ruan Liusu raised the corners of her mouth and said, "There is only one restaurant in the shelter. Ziyan and I worked together today and hunted down a total of sixteen Tier 1 alien beasts."
"I need to go back and report the data now. I'll take you to the restaurant for lunch later; they have fifth-tier beast meat there."
"OK."
"I'll contact you later, Green Bubble. I'm off now, bye!"
Ruan Liusu waved her hand, said "Let's go" to Zhao Ziyan beside her, and then turned and left.
After they had walked a distance, Zhao Ziyan asked, "Liusu, was that Chen Lie the guy your family introduced you to?"
"Um!"
"She's too ordinary. She's nowhere near as good as our Captain Meng. What makes you think she's good enough?"
"That's because you don't understand. In such a barren place as Dongchuan Province, Chen Lie's martial arts have reached this level, which is already quite remarkable."
"It's certainly remarkable in a place like Sichuan, but on the whole planet Earth, I think it's just so-so."
"Alright, let's stop talking about this. You don't understand anyway."
Ruan Liusu ended the topic abruptly.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziyan said no more.
She was very puzzled. Ruan Liusu was so young, yet she was already among the top five in the genius group of Sunan Province. Her martial arts talent was beyond question. If she wanted to find someone, she could easily find any of the many outstanding talents in Sunan Province. Why did she have to go against the martial arts champion of a poor province?
Ruan Liusu and Zhao Ziyan returned to the dormitory building where the special admission students from southern Jiangsu Province were temporarily staying.
The first floor of the dormitory building is the temporary office where students admitted through the special recruitment program from southern Jiangsu Province are responsible for recording the progress of their military training.
Zhao Ziyan walked straight into the office and said, "Make a note of this: Ruan Liusu and I worked together to hunt down a total of eighteen Tier 1 alien beasts today."
"Eighteen Tier 1 Beasts? Are you sure there aren't any Tier 2 Beasts?"
"You two are the top fighters among the special recruits in our Southern Jiangsu Province. If you go out together, you can easily take at least twenty kills a day, right?"
"A person next to me, who was also a member of the genius group from southern Jiangsu Province, asked."
"Don't even mention it. Today, Liusu and I spent half the day on missions outside the shelter. We didn't go out at all this afternoon." Zhao Ziyan waved her hand.
"Huh? What happened? Were you injured this morning?"
"We're both at the Refining Stage, and we specifically target lone beasts. How could we possibly get hurt?" Zhao Ziyan said.
"Why are so few tasks completed today?"
Zhao Ziyan sighed: "Liusu heard that her friend would be coming to participate in military training today, so after noon we waited in the shelter."
"As far as I know, only students from Sichuan province are participating in the special admissions program in the second military training area today. Does Ruan Liusu know any friends from such a remote place?"
Zhao Ziyan chuckled, "You can't say that. After all, he's the number one martial arts champion in Dongchuan Province."
"Ziyan!" At this moment, Ruan Liusu's gaze swept over, the warning meaning self-evident.
Zhao Ziyan instantly understood that Ruan Liusu didn't want her to reveal too much information, so she curled the corners of her mouth and said no more.
After Zhao Ziyan and Ruan Liusu left, the special admissions students on the first floor started discussing among themselves.
"I think I came across a rumor the other day that Ruan Liusu's family arranged a marriage for her with a martial arts champion from a province. Could it be the martial arts champion from Sichuan province?"
"Impossible, right? Sichuan province is such a barren place. In ancient times, it would have been considered a land of barbarians. Ruan Liusu broke through to the Qi and Blood Limit at the age of 17. In terms of talent, she can be said to be in a class of her own in southern Jiangsu province. How could she possibly look down on a country bumpkin from a barren province?"
"That's actually possible. Didn't you see Zhao Ziyan's reaction just now?"
"Damn it, she's one of the top five geniuses in our Southern Jiangsu Province, a prodigy with unparalleled looks and talent, and she got poached by some country bumpkin from some remote province?"
At that moment, a young man with an imposing presence walked in from outside.
Seeing a group of people gathered together talking, the young man asked expressionlessly, "What's the progress of today's military training?"
"Captain Yue!"
The group of specially admitted students greeted the young man as soon as they saw him.
This young man was none other than Yue Lin, the martial arts champion of Southern Jiangsu Province.
"Captain Yue, I just did a count. So far, we have hunted down more than 1,800 alien beasts, including 30 second-tier alien beasts."
The mission is 85% complete. In about two more days, we will be able to completely finish the military training.
Yue Lin nodded and said, "After you come back from the mission outside the shelter, take the time to reflect on your combat experience against the alien beasts. This is a rare opportunity. You can chat anytime, there's no need to do it now."
"No, Captain, it's because we discovered a secret that we talked a bit more."
"What secret?"
"Wasn't there a rumor circulating in the genius group a while ago? It's said that Ruan Liusu, who ranked fourth in the martial arts competition, was introduced to a potential partner by her family. Apparently, he's the martial arts champion of some province."
Now we know, he was actually the martial arts champion of the three provinces of Sichuan.
Yue Lin frowned and said, "They are all members of the same group. Don't spread rumors. Ruan is determined to fight, so it's not appropriate to spread rumors about her behind her back."
"No, Captain Yue, we're not spreading rumors. Ruan Liusu waited for this guy from Sichuan all afternoon at the shelter, and she even finished less of her military training tasks than yesterday."
Yue Lin pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's not discuss this further, it's just hearsay."
"yes!"
The students admitted through the special admissions program from southern Jiangsu Province nearby nodded in agreement.
When Chen Lie returned to the dormitory building, Liu, one of the members of the genius team, stepped forward and asked, "Captain Chen, do you know any martial arts geniuses from Jiangsu Province?"
How do you know he's from Jiangsu Province?
"I know, their team uniforms are the standard uniforms of the Jiangsu Province Genius Team, aren't they?" said Liu Guanniang.
Chen Lie stopped mentioning these things and instead ordered, "Go and gather all the members of the Genius Group here for a meeting."
"OK!"
After Liu Wanwan nodded in agreement, she quickly ran up to the dormitory building to relay the instructions.
Before long, the thirty members of the genius group gathered together.
"Captain, everyone has arrived. Please tell me your orders!" said Lady Liu.
Chen Lie looked around at everyone and said, "Let me explain the specific details. Including myself, there are five people from Dongchuan Province who have reached the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm today."
The cast includes Luo Zhixun, Tang Jiu'er, Wang Dongting, and Song Yixuan.
Ten students had a blood energy value exceeding 2,000 calories.
Because the trainees in the Genius Training Camp are slightly weaker and unlikely to directly confront the alien beasts, I have decided to divide the members who will leave the shelter to face the alien beasts tomorrow into two groups: Song Yixuan and Wang Dongting in one group, and Luo Zhixun and Tang Jiu'er in the other. Each of these groups will also bring five members with a health value of over 2,000 calories and fifty trainees from the Genius Training Camp to hunt down the alien beasts.
After hunting exotic beasts outside the shelter, we'll definitely need to come back for a rest at noon. The two members at the peak of Qi and Blood and the five members with Qi and Blood values exceeding 2,000 calories will remain the same, while the fifty genius training camp students will be replaced with new students.
Every participant in the talent training camp must undergo military training at least three times.
Luo Zhixun then asked, "We've taken all the high-end combat forces. What are you going to do? Go alone?"
Chen Lie nodded and said, "That's my plan, but I'll be with you all tomorrow, the first time we'll be on the military training field."
Of course, if time isn't too tight, I'll also take some of the gifted trainees to the military training field.
"Wouldn't it be too dangerous for someone to do it alone?" Luo Zhixun frowned slightly.
Tang Jiu'er added, "Yes, even if someone is stronger than a beast, it's difficult to hunt it successfully without assistance or cooperation."
