Chapter 194 The Grandmaster's Guidance
Lu Qingchan thought about it and realized it made sense. The entry standard for the provincial youth genius team was a four-digit Qi and Blood value, so the members of the genius team naturally all had high Qi and Blood values.
However, there are tens of millions of school-age children in Dongchuan Province, but fewer than thirty can enter the province's Youth Genius Group. It is already very difficult to be selected, let alone those from the lower classes.
Moreover, she knew about Chen Lie's family situation; among ordinary people, very few could reach this level.
"However, Chen Lie's aptitude is still excellent. Putting aside the fact that he is a Divine Sense Master, being able to enter the provincial youth genius team means that even if he is at the bottom of the genius team, he has already surpassed countless peers."
"In terms of martial arts talent, she definitely can't compare to Yuan Hao," Xu Yunyan said.
In the center of the battle room, Xu Tianchuan, the president of the Martial Arts Association and a grandmaster, was instructing the five geniuses who were destined to become grandmasters.
When instructing Wang Dongting, Xu Tianchuan said, "The day of the Three Provinces Martial Arts Competition is coming soon. As the leading figure of the younger generation of martial arts in Dongchuan Province, you must strive to win a top-three finish for Dongchuan in the competition. Don't let Yunchuan and Xichuan look down on Dongchuan."

Wang Dongting nodded slightly and replied, "I will try my best."
At this moment, Jiang Xiaodong, the deacon of the Genius Group of the Martial Arts Association, said, "President Xu, you don't need to worry that Dongchuan won't get a top-three finish in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Competition."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Xu Tianchuan looked at Jiang Xiaodong.
Faced with Xu Tianchuan's question, Jiang Xiaodong turned to Wang Dongting: "Wang Dongting, you must have been hiding your true abilities in martial arts, right?"
Wang Dongting asked with a puzzled expression, "How did Deacon Jiang know that I was hiding my strength?"
Jiang Xiaodong chuckled and said to Xu Tianchuan, "President Xu, according to Zhang Weifeng, the deacon of the Yunnan Province Genius Team, Ji Lingxuan, hailed as the number one genius of the Three Provinces, personally admitted that Wang Dongting would be her formidable rival during the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
"Ji Lingxuan? She knows my strength?"
Wang Dongting felt a sense of strangeness.
He only reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood in martial arts two days before the gathering of geniuses.
He had only met Ji Lingxuan once at the gathering of geniuses from eight provinces. Before that, the two had never met. Even though they had met at the gathering of geniuses from eight provinces, they had not exchanged a single word.
Could it be that Ji Lingxuan's eyesight allows her to see at a glance that he has reached the pinnacle of Qi and Blood? Jiang Xiaodong said, "I don't know either."
Xu Tianchuan looked at Wang Dongting and said, "Wang Dongting, are you indeed holding back some of your talents?"
Wang Dongting nodded and said, "I recently broke through to the Qi and Blood Limit."
The other four Grandmaster Seed members were taken aback when they heard Wang Dongting's words.
Their Dongchuan Province genius group actually had someone who had reached the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm?
"good."
Xu Tianchuan nodded to Wang Dongting: "However, even Grandmasters have praised Ji Lingxuan's martial arts talent. Although I don't know why Ji Lingxuan regards you as a formidable opponent, I think you are still quite far behind Ji Lingxuan."
After all, even the leading genius from the top province among the eight provinces of Sichuan and Shaanxi couldn't gain the upper hand in his sparring match with Ji Lingxuan.
Then he looked at the other four Grandmaster seed members and said, "The four of you must also work harder and strive to successfully break through to the Qi and Blood Stage's peak before the Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament."
"We will try our best," the four members of the genius team replied in unison.
Xu Tianchuan nodded, turned around, and walked to where Xu Yunyan was on the next floor with his hands behind his back.
Upon seeing Xu Tianchuan, Xu Yunyan immediately stood up: "President Xu—"
Xu Tianchuan immediately raised his hand to stop Xu Yunyan, and said, "We are siblings from the same Xu family, there's no need to be so formal. My uncle took good care of me back then, so it's only natural for you to call me 'cousin'."
"Yes, cousin."
Xu Yunyan was overjoyed to see that Xu Tianchuan showed no sign of distancing himself from her.
Xu Tianchuan asked, "I wonder what brings my cousin here to see me today?"
"To be honest, I have come here today with a matter I would like to ask my cousin for help with."
As Xu Yunyan spoke, she immediately said to Lu Qingchan beside her, "Qingchan, this is the uncle I mentioned before, your uncle."
Lu Qingchan greeted him, "Uncle!"
Xu Tianchuan smiled at Lu Qingchan and said, "Qingchan, is that right? I know you; Yuan Hao mentioned you to me."
Xu Yunyan said, "Brother, you should also know about Qingchan's situation. Because of her father, she has been wandering outside for more than ten years, which has seriously delayed her martial arts achievements."
I've come here to ask you, cousin, to help your niece.
Xu Tianchuan nodded and then said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you, my cousin?"
"I heard that the province is going to organize three martial arts geniuses from the province to go to the top three provinces, including the Gyeonggi Province, for a ten-day exchange."
Those who can go to Jingji Province for exchanges have the opportunity to receive guidance from Grandmasters. Cousin, do you think Qingchan meets the standards for going to Jingji Province for exchanges? Xu Yunyan said.
Lu Qingchan was surprised and looked at her mother. How come she didn't know about the three places for exchange to the Jingji Province?
She had assumed that her mother had brought her here to ask a grandmaster for guidance in martial arts.
Xu Tianchuan pondered for a moment and said, "The spots were decided two days ago, but—"
Xu Yunyan eagerly awaited Xu Tianchuan's next words.
"After all, it was my niece whom I hadn't seen for more than ten years who asked me for help, so I couldn't just ignore her."
Furthermore, my uncle did treat me well back then.
Xu Yunyan immediately understood Xu Tianchuan's implication: he meant "this is the only time," and that it would be impossible to ask this grandmaster for help again.
At this moment, Xu Yuanhao, one of the five Grandmaster seeds, walked over.
As soon as Xu Yuanhao walked over, he stood in front of Xu Tianchuan and said, "Uncle."
Xu Tianchuan nodded to Xu Yuanhao and asked, "Yuanhao, how far are you from reaching the pinnacle of Qi and Blood?"
Xu Yuanhao said, "My blood energy has reached 2,400 calories, and my strength is 9900 jun."
In terms of body refinement, I've completed skin refinement and am currently refining my flesh. Once I complete flesh refinement, I'll reach the ultimate realm.
Xu Tianchuan said, "The Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament is imminent. Let's make a concerted effort and try to reach the pinnacle before the tournament."
"I will." Xu Yuanhao nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Yuanhao looked at Xu Yunyan and Lu Qingchan: "Aunt, Qingchan, you're here too."
Lu Qingchan politely greeted, "Brother Hao."
Xu Yunyan replied, "I need to speak with your uncle about something."
Xu Yuanhao nodded without asking any further questions.
At this moment, Lu Qingchan asked, "Brother Hao, have you had any contact with Chen Lie in the genius group? How is he performing in the genius group?"
"Chen Lie? Is he the new member? I haven't had much contact with him." Xu Yuanhao shook his head and said, "What? You're quite familiar with this Chen Lie?"
Xu Yunyan explained, "Chen Lie's father and your uncle were comrades-in-arms back in the day."
Xu Yuanhao said "Oh" and then didn't say anything more.
At this moment, Gu Tian led Chen Lie into the battle room.
As soon as Gu Tian entered, he asked, "President Xu, have you finished instructing these five potential Grandmaster members?"
"Ancient," Xu Tianchuan nodded and said, "The guidance has been completed."
As Xu Tianchuan spoke, he immediately stepped forward. Because Gu Tian was a generation older than him and a retired senior from Blue Star University, even though Xu Tianchuan held a high position and great power in Dongchuan Province, he treated Gu Tian with great respect.
"That's perfect. Another member of our genius team has met the evaluation criteria for a Grandmaster Seed. Chairman Xu, please give him some guidance today."
"Oh? Another Grandmaster seed has appeared? Which student is it?" Xu Tianchuan asked.
Gu Tian turned to Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, come here."
Chen Lie walked forward expressionlessly.
Xu Yunyan and Lu Qingchan were both startled when they saw Chen Lie.
Chen Lie had only been a member of the provincial youth genius team for a short time, so how did he suddenly become a master seed?
Gu Tian then introduced, "Chen Lie, this is Xu Tianchuan, the president of our Dongchuan Province Martial Arts Association."
Chen Lie nodded slightly to Xu Tianchuan: "President Xu."
"Chen Lie? I don't remember you being among the top ten in the last Genius Team Martial Arts Competition, right?" Xu Tianchuan asked.
Chen Lie frankly stated, "I'm new here."
"A new member? Your Qi and Blood value has reached 1800 calories?" Xu Tianchuan asked.
Chen Lie hummed in agreement: "I just took the test outside."
Lu Qingchan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
1800 calories of Qi and Blood?
How could Chen Lie's martial arts skills improve so quickly?
Even if her health and vitality were doubled, it wouldn't be a fraction of Chen Lie's health and vitality.
"A new member, just joined the genius group and already classified as a grandmaster, you're quite impressive."
Xu Tianchuan praised Chen Lie, then said, "Come here, let me see how many shortcomings you have in martial arts."
Chen Lie nodded and went to the center of the battle room with Xu Tianchuan to begin one-on-one instruction.
Based on Chen Lie's understanding of martial arts, Xu Tianchuan, a martial arts master from Blue Star, certainly wouldn't be able to guide him.
So Chen Lie deliberately revealed a few flaws so that Xu Tianchuan could point them out.
The other Grandmaster Seed members standing nearby all looked surprised.
Luo Zhixun, in particular, was genuinely surprised by Chen Lie's true strength.
Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but say, "This Chen Lie is too strange, isn't he?"
He was actually assessed as a Grandmaster?
"I never expected that Chen Lie would also have such skill in martial arts."
Luo Zhixun originally thought that Chen Lie had only barely met the entry standards for the genius group, but she never expected that he would be selected as a master seed.
The so-called "seed of a grandmaster" refers to geniuses who have a high probability of reaching the pinnacle of Qi and Blood.
Not to mention 1800 calories of Qi and Blood, reaching four times that amount of Strength is extremely difficult.
Maintaining four times the strength while also reaching 1800 calories of health is absolutely impossible.
Xu Tianchuan instructed Chen Lie for about half an hour and was full of praise for Chen Lie's martial arts.
"You are very good, better than the other five Grandmaster seeds."
With my level of understanding and knowledge of martial arts, I can only see a few minor shortcomings in you.
When you gave me your guidance, it reminded me of Ji Lingxuan, the top young talent in Sanchuan.
It is said that when Ji Lingxuan was selected as a Grandmaster Seed in the Yunnan Province Genius Team, a Grandmaster gave her guidance.
However, after carefully observing Ji Lingxuan's martial arts, the grandmaster from Yunchuan shook his head and sighed, saying that he could not give Ji Lingxuan any guidance, because with his grandmaster's perspective, he could not find any shortcomings in Ji Lingxuan's martial arts.
That concludes today's guidance. There's nothing more I can teach you.
Chen Lie nodded and was about to leave the battle room when Lu Qingchan came up to him.
"Chen Lie, your Qi and Blood value has exceeded 1800 calories?"
"Yes."
"Wow, that's amazing! To have improved so much in such a short time," Lu Qingchan exclaimed.
"The Qi and Blood stage is the easiest stage on the path of martial arts. As long as you are single-mindedly devoted to martial arts, you can achieve it too."
Lu Qingchan just smiled and said, "Stop joking. To me, you're making fun of me."
"That's not what I meant," Chen Lie said.
At this moment, Xu Yunyan came over: "Chen Lie, congratulations on being selected as a Grandmaster Seed."
"Aunt Xu," Chen Lie greeted Xu Yunyan, then added, "It's nothing."
"This is a joyous occasion, no less exciting than being specially admitted to Blue Star University. How can you say it's nothing?"
As Xu Yunyan spoke, she added, "How are your parents?"
"That's good," Chen Lie said.
"I'll take Qingchan to your home to visit your parents in a few days."
Chen Lie said, "You're welcome anytime."
After speaking with Xu Yunyan, Chen Lie left the battle room.
Five other Grandmaster seed members also came out with them.
Tang Jiu'er quickly walked to Chen Lie's side and asked, "Chen Lie, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You were actually selected as a Grandmaster Seed."

"Just a seed of a grandmaster, what's so remarkable about that?"
"You're talking big. In the entire Dongchuan Province, there were only five Grandmaster Seeds before this."
"It's no exaggeration to say that a Grandmaster seed is one in a million. How come you consider it so worthless?" Tang Jiu'er couldn't help but ask.
Chen Lie ignored Tang Jiu'er and walked to the side.
After seeing several Grandmaster-level prospective members emerge, Gu Tian, the mentor of the genius team, first asked Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, has the guidance of the Grandmasters helped your martial arts?"
"Yes." Chen Lie nodded.
"That's good. Keep up the good work during this time and strive for a good ranking in the upcoming Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament."
Chen Lie asked, "Old Gu, is my status as a Grandmaster seed confirmed today?"
"Of course you can. I just applied using the Genius Group's AI. In half an hour at most, you'll be recognized as a Grandmaster Seed Member. At that time, 100,000 points will be automatically deposited into your membership card."
"Oh, so if I apply for a resource search opportunity once a month, will it take a few days to take effect?"
"Of course not. The cultivation of Grandmaster Seed members is a race against time. How could the Martial Arts Association delay your time?"
Don't worry, the Grandmaster Seed status and all corresponding privileges will be active simultaneously.
"That's good."
Luo Zhi asked, "Chen Lie, what's the result of your application for those two century-old medicinal herbs?"
"Of course, I've already used it."
"So fast?" Luo Zhixun was somewhat surprised.
For martial arts students like them with limited resources, two 800-year-old spiritual herbs would last for more than a month.
It was indeed a bit strange that Chen Lie used up two 800-year-old spiritual herbs so quickly.
