Chapter 226 Mental Power Methods
"What do you mean by aiding the enemy before the battle? Since Chen Lie can see through my strength, he should know that if I wanted to take first place, even in my current state, it would be a piece of cake, right?" Song Yixuan couldn't help but say.
Chen Lie simply said, "That's hard to say."
"Really?" Song Yixuan asked doubtfully, "Does Chen Lie really have the confidence to defeat a martial artist in the Refining Stage head-on on the dueling stage?"
"Never mind that, just give me your answer."
Song Yixuan sighed: "Due to some inexplicable reasons, I can only reach the top ten at most in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. It's impossible for me to compete with you for first place. You can rest assured about that, Chen Lie."
Chen Lie then nodded and said, "Alright, we can begin!"
Song Yixuan invited Chen Lie to sit opposite her: "Classmate Chen, during the Refining Liver stage, I have completed the cultivation of the liver and heart, but I am currently stuck on the kidney cultivation stage and cannot complete it. I wonder if you have any guidance for me?"
"The five internal organs belong to the five elements: the liver belongs to wood, the heart belongs to fire, the spleen belongs to earth, the lungs belong to metal, and the kidneys belong to water."
Your order of cultivating your internal organs is to cultivate your liver first, then your heart. The liver belongs to wood, and the heart belongs to fire. Wood generates fire, so you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The kidneys belong to the water element. If you cultivate the heart and then the kidneys, the water and fire elements clash, naturally hindering your progress.
"How can you even tell the order in which I refined my filth?" Song Yixuan couldn't help but ask.
In front of Chen Lie, she seemed to have no secrets whatsoever.
She was now certain that Chen Lie had recognized her strength during the genius training camp.
"You don't need to worry about that. I'm asking you, when you're refining your kidneys, have you ever felt a strange resistance, often finding it difficult to continue halfway through, and even if you manage to complete a training session, the refining effect is greatly reduced?"
After thinking for a moment, Song Yixuan nodded and replied, "It seems so."
According to you, I've already completed half of my kidney training. I can't just give up on kidney training and go on to train other internal organs, can I?
Chen Lie shook his head and said, "The reason I suggested that your refining order should be based on the repulsion of the five elements is only a superficial one."
The real reason why you haven't made any progress in your physical cultivation is the mistakes you made in cultivating your heart and liver.
Now I will explain it to you one by one, so listen carefully.
Song Yixuan listened attentively as Chen Lie pointed out her mistakes in refining her body. She then secretly considered her own condition and was immediately filled with alarm.
Looking at Chen Lie, who was speaking eloquently, was like seeing a ghost.
She had also met the top martial arts geniuses from the top three provinces of Blue Star, but compared to Chen Lie, their insights into martial arts were like those of toddlers learning to speak.
Even the most powerful masters within the organization couldn't point out the various flaws in her cultivation like this.
Who exactly is this Chen Lie?
About an hour later, Chen Lie looked at Song Yixuan and said, "I have finished explaining all the mistakes you made in your cultivation. If you do as I just said, your cultivation in the cultivation stage will be smooth sailing."
"Thank you very much, Captain Chen."
Song Yixuan smiled and thanked him. She had thought that Chen Lie had some tricks for refining dirt to teach her, but she did not expect that he would point out the mistakes in her refining stage one by one with his superb martial arts insights.
She used to be arrogant and shrewd, lying low in Dongchuan Province, a barren province on this blue planet, watching the many geniuses compete as if they were children playing house, with a carefree attitude towards life. But now, she has changed her ways.
"Captain Chen's insights and understanding of martial arts are truly unlike those of someone from Sichuan province. Could you please reveal who his teacher is?"
"inconvenient."
"If it's inconvenient, then forget it."
Although Song Yixuan was unwilling to admit it, Chen Lie's explanation just now could indeed save her several months of hard study.
After speaking with Song Yixuan, he followed Chen Lie out of the cultivation room.
As soon as Chen Lie reached the entrance of the Genius Group's training ground, he was stopped by Cui Jinyang and a woman.
At this moment, Cui Jinyang pointed at Chen Lie and said, "Sister, this is the man, he is Chen Lie."
The woman next to Cui Jinyang stood with her hands on her hips, glaring angrily at Chen Lie: "You're the martial arts champion who won first place in the competition? You're the one who bullied my brother in the genius group, causing him to lose his status as a grandmaster seed?"
"Who are you?" Chen Lie asked the woman.
"Cui Jinyang is my younger brother, and I am his older sister, Cui Jinyan."
Cui Jinyan snorted coldly.
"Oh? So what do you want?"
"How about it? Don't think that just because you've won the martial arts championship, you can run rampant in the genius group and bully the weak."
The higher-ups of the Martial Arts Association are protecting you, but that's all they can do in this place.
"I'll give you a chance. Now, gather all the members of the genius team and apologize to my brother in public, and I can let this matter go and let you off the hook!"
Song Yixuan glanced at Chen Lie, then looked at the arrogant Cui Jinyan, stroked her chin, and waited to see how Chen Lie would handle the situation.
Cui Jinyang glared at Chen Lie with hatred and said, "Chen Lie, you embarrassed me in public and caused me to be punished by the Martial Arts Association. I warned you then and told you to remember that."
My sister is a freshman at Blue Star University. She has become a rank-3 martial artist. Before becoming a rank-3 martial artist, she had a blood energy value of over 2,000 calories.
Even martial arts geniuses from the top ten provinces of Blue Star who haven't reached the martial arts level are no match for my sister.
I advise you to honestly back down and avoid causing serious injury, lest you delay the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
"I really don't know how an idiot like you got into the genius group and even became a Grandmaster seed." Chen Lie looked at Cui Jinyang.
"You're really arrogant. So you're not planning to resolve this peacefully as I suggested?" Cui Jinyan said coldly.
"If you want a peaceful resolution, disappear from my sight right now, and I can pretend nothing happened."
"Such arrogance! You dare to spout such nonsense. Surely you're not afraid to step onto the fighting stage with me?"
Injuring a martial arts champion on the eve of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament would be unacceptable to her if the Martial Arts Association held her accountable.
But if the opponent voluntarily comes up to fight her, then she can go all out.
"Since you want to go to the battle stage, then I'll grant your wish."
After Chen Lie finished speaking, he pointed to the battle stage behind him and went up to the battle stage with Cui Jinyan.
On the battle stage, Cui Jinyan chuckled: "Arrogant brat, do you know my level?"
I am currently a second-level martial artist, a martial artist at the Qi Circulation Realm.
"Once you're on the fighting stage, I won't let you off so easily. I'll give you one chance: apologize to my brother in front of all the members of the genius team, and I might forgive you this time."
"Enough with the nonsense, let's fight."
Chen Lie naturally knew about the realms of martial artists.
A first-tier martial artist can generate true qi by cultivating it in their dantian and controlling it, thereby increasing their combat power.
A second-tier martial artist's Qi flows throughout their body, with true Qi circulating through the eight extraordinary meridians, doubling their combat power.
Third-tier martial artist: True Qi permeates the body, making the body impervious to blades and spears.
A fourth-tier martial artist gathers their qi into a vortex, their true qi is abundant, and they can kill enemies with a wave of their hand.
A fifth-level martial artist can control their qi externally, with their true qi traveling tens of meters away from their body. Their Hundred-Step Divine Fist can take a person's life within a hundred steps.
A sixth-level martial artist possesses a wall of true qi. This wall of true qi is so vast that even ordinary firearms cannot easily break through it.
A seventh-level martial artist refines their Qi into a protective aura, transforming their true Qi into a protective protective aura.
An eighth-level martial artist possesses innate fetal breathing, transforming their internal energy into innate internal energy. An eighth-level martial artist is equivalent to a grandmaster-level martial artist.
A ninth-tier martial artist, whose Yuan Gang alternates with innate Gang Qi, can breathe internally and survive in the starry sky, reaching the Grandmaster realm.
Above that, there are things that don't exist on Earth.
Chen Lie had experienced these realms in his previous life, and he knew very well that the increase in combat power for martial artists at the first and second levels was not significant, only about twice that of the Qi and Blood stage.
The real difference in martial arts realms lies in the breakthrough of the fifth rank and the entry into the eighth rank of innate embryonic breathing, which represents a qualitative transformation and is why they are revered as grandmasters.
"You're asking for it, so don't blame me."
Cui Jinyan sneered, and angrily attacked, covering her hand with her true energy and throwing a punch at Chen Lie.
With a loud "boom".
After clashing head-on with Cui Jinyan, Chen Lie, with his powerful evolved strength, retreated dozens of steps, all the way to the edge of the battle arena.
"With this little strength, you dare to be arrogant in front of me?"
Cui Jinyan looked disdainful. Just now, Chen Lie almost couldn't withstand her casual strike. It seems that the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province is only at this level.
Cui Jinyan's expression was cold. She secretly weighed her options and swung her fist, wanting to teach Chen Lie a lesson.
However, at that moment, her mind went blank.
Suddenly I felt a strange stinging pain, followed by a dizzying sensation before my eyes.
As soon as Chen Lie's divine sense reached the next level, he immediately used a secret mental technique to mobilize his divine sense for an attack.
Under the brutal and forceful mental attack, Cui Jinyan lost consciousness for a full five or six seconds.
Under the onslaught of mental energy, her mind was filled with a constant roar, as if her brain was about to explode, and her eyes rolled back.
At the same time, Chen Lie instantly flew forward and, taking advantage of Cui Jinyan's dazed expression and lack of consciousness, used the Dislocating Bone Technique to dislocate Cui Jinyan's arm.
Cui Jinyan recovered from the mental shock and immediately cried out in pain.
Chen Lie showed no mercy and knocked Cui Jinyan off the fighting stage with a single punch.
With a thud, Choi Geum-yeon landed on the ground of the battle platform.
"elder sister!"
Upon seeing this, Cui Jinyang immediately rushed forward and helped Cui Jinyan up.
"Sister, are you alright?" Cui Jinyang asked anxiously.
Cui Jinyan stared intently at Chen Lie on the fighting platform and said in a deep voice, "You—what method did you use just now?"
Chen Lie countered, "Could it be that you can't guess?"
"You're actually a Divine Sense Master, and a Ranked one at that!"
"No! An ordinary entry-level Divine Sense Master could not possibly have such strong mental attack power. You must either be a Divine Sense Master of the third level or above, or you must have cultivated the most powerful Divine Sense on Blue Star."
Cui Jinyan glanced at Chen Lie. She didn't believe that anyone could become a third-level Divine Sense Master at this age. So now there was only one possibility: Chen Lie had cultivated the top-level Divine Sense Master on Blue Star.
Chen Lie stood on the stage without saying a word.
"Xiaoyang, let's go!"
Cui Jinyan glanced at Cui Jinyang; it was impossible for the siblings to get their revenge on this situation.
Having cultivated such a powerful spiritual consciousness, one must already be ranked among the top fifty of the Blue Star's advanced spiritual consciousness master rankings.
These divine sense masters are the precious gems of Blue Star, and they will surely become important figures on Blue Star in the future. They can't afford to offend them.
"sister----"
"Shut up and come with me!"
Cui Jinyan glanced at Chen Lie on the battle stage, endured the discomfort in her arm, and led Cui Jinyang directly to the genius team training ground.
After Chen Lie stepped down from the battle platform, Song Yixuan looked at him with an expression of utter disbelief: "Chen Lie, you—a Divine Sense Master?"
"Is it strange? Didn't I tell you? My master is a master of divine sense, so it's normal for me to be a master of divine sense."
"I'm not surprised that you're a mind-manipulator; I'm astonished by your methods. Are all mind-manipulators like this?"
She saw it clearly just now. In those few seconds when Cui Jinyan was stunned, if it were a life-or-death battle, Cui Jinyan would have died countless times already.
If the methods of a mind master are all so unpredictable, what chance do ordinary martial artists have?
Cui Jinyan was not much weaker than her. If she were to fight Chen Lie, she would definitely end up like Cui Jinyan.
"Of course not, there are different levels of strength among Divine Sense Masters."
In response to Chen Lie's answer, Song Yixuan thought of the gathering of eight provinces, where she had assassinated Wu Tianchen, the twentieth ranked Blue Star Divine Sense Master.
The person ranked 20th on the Blue Star Ranking must also be an extremely powerful Divine Sense Master, and could very well be able to do what Chen Lie did.
Fortunately, she seized the opportunity and struck decisively, giving him no chance to react; otherwise, the outcome would have been uncertain.
"With skills like these, Chen Lie, the champion of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament is yours for the taking. What are you worried about aiding the enemy?" Song Yixuan laughed.
"The Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament is a competition of martial arts. If I win purely through mental strength, will the Martial Arts Association recognize that?"
"That's true."
Song Yixuan nodded; she hadn't thought of that aspect.
The Martial Arts Association and the Spiritual Masters Association are two separate organizations. If you can't even withstand a single move from your opponent during a martial arts competition and win purely through spiritual means, the organizing Martial Arts Association will inevitably have complaints.
On the other side, Cui Jinyang and Cui Jinyan walked out of the genius team's training ground. He couldn't help but ask, "Sister, didn't you say you would avenge me? Are you just going to let it go like this?"
"This Chen Lie is no ordinary person. He is a genius of divine sense, and his mental power techniques are impossible to defend against. He can launch a mental attack on me from two meters away."
"What should we do then?"
"Don't get into any more conflicts with him. This Chen Lie might just be a potential genius protected by the Bureau of Divine Sense."
Cui Jinyang could only nod. With his strength, what ability did he have to clash with Chen Lie, the martial arts champion?
The next day, Gu Tian summoned Chen Lie to the training grounds of the Genius Group and gave him two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs.
"Chen Lie, these are the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs that Chairman Xu approved and expedited for you to find. One herb enhances the purity of your Qi and blood, and the other enhances the strength of your Qi and blood. Both are rare spiritual herbs that are 1,100 years old."
Chen Lie accepted the elixir, glanced at it, and nodded, saying, "Thank you, Elder."
"No need for thanks. As long as you get into the top three in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, the Martial Arts Association's support for you will not have been in vain."
