Gao Wu: From Martial Arts Student to Star Emperor

Chapter 27 Psionic Crystal Card

After exchanging a few words with his mother, Chen Lie sat down on the sofa in front of the TV in the living room.

He outwardly watched martial arts experts on TV explaining martial arts, but inwardly he was secretly thinking about how to make money.

Without money and martial arts resources, even with the most advanced martial arts knowledge, he cannot quickly increase his Qi and blood value; after all, even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without rice.

Just as Chen Lie was deep in thought, the door to his house was suddenly pushed open.

Chen Xingyao stormed in, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

Feng Yuelan found Chen Xingyao's strange behavior odd, so she stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong, Yaoyao?"

"Don't ask me, it's so annoying."

With that, Chen Xingyao walked to the sofa and sat down heavily.

"What happened?"

Seeing Chen Xingyao like this, Feng Yuelan couldn't help but press for an answer.

Chen Xingyao couldn't help but say, "I told you not to ask anymore, please stop bothering me, okay?"

Seeing this, Feng Yuelan could only shake her head and sigh as she went to the kitchen to get busy.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Xingyao felt that nothing was going right, and she glanced at Chen Lie.

"Why is your TV so loud? It's disturbing me!"

Seeing this, Chen Lie simply turned off the television.

"I told you to turn the volume down, who told you to turn the TV off?"

Chen Xingyao stared at Chen Lie with her big eyes, her voice much louder than usual.

"I'm going back to my room. Please make yourself at home."

Chen Lie tossed the TV remote to Chen Xingyao, then got up and went back to his room.

"I'm so angry! Ugh!"

Chen Lie's attitude made Chen Xingyao, who was already in a bad mood, stomp her feet.

During dinner, Chen Lie and his family of three sat at the table.

After Feng Yuelan brought the food to the table, she also sat down.

Seeing that Chen Xingyao's emotions had stabilized somewhat, she asked again, "Yaoyao, what happened to you today? Why were you so angry?"

Chen Xingyao, still looking unhappy, said, "That classmate who always had similar grades to me suddenly learned a martial art, and his Qi and Blood Points skyrocketed, leaving me far behind. From now on, I'm second in the class!"

"Oh, Mom thought it was something serious, but it turns out it's just like this."

"It's okay, Mom will also enroll you in a martial arts instruction class so you can learn a martial art."

Chen Xingyao pouted and said, "Martial arts are not so easy to learn."

She has an older sister in an elite class. She can have her sister teach her the basics of martial arts. Once she has a good grasp of the basics, she can then enroll in a martial arts instruction course.

Even if you spend hundreds of thousands of star coins to enroll in a martial arts instruction course at a martial arts school, you might not be able to learn a martial art.

Regardless, the gap has already widened, and catching up will definitely be much more difficult.

"Then it's fine if we come in second place," Feng Yuelan said.

"I'm only aiming for second place! I must train even harder and catch up!"

As he spoke, Chen Xingyao took a big bite of rice.

Chen Lie looked at his sister with admiration. On the path of martial arts, this indomitable spirit is the most precious and rare quality.

After finishing his meal, Chen Lie returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing the Star Contemplation Technique of the "Lingguang Divine Refinement Chapter".

After several nights of meditation, the first star of the second constellation in his sea of ​​consciousness, the "Ghost Constellation," began to glow dimly.

"One of the four stars of the Ghost Mansion in the Seven Mansions has finally been lit up."

Chen Lie opened his eyes and muttered to himself.

"But without the help of the Spirit Nourishing Flower, the progress of my spiritual power is too slow."

He was somewhat troubled. Martial arts resources were alright; he could think of a way and work harder to get some.

However, this Spirit-Nourishing Flower is extremely scarce on Earth; it's something that money simply can't buy.

"Can't all the native Divine Sense Masters on Earth be from privileged backgrounds? How did they all obtain the Spirit-Nourishing Flower? We must find a way to figure this out!"

The cultivation of mental strength cannot be neglected. In terms of the advanced martial arts concepts of the Central Galaxy Empire, mental strength cultivation can be included as a part of martial arts, and it is an indispensable part.

In this life, Chen Lie wants to go further on the path of martial arts and see more of the scenery. Therefore, he must build a solid and perfect foundation, just like the geniuses of the Central Galaxy Empire.

Early in the morning, Chen Lie did not go to school because the school was not of much help to him.

Before he even stepped out of the room, Chen Lie's communicator suddenly rang.

He picked up the communicator and saw that it was Wang Hui calling, so he chose to answer.

"Holy crap, Chen Lie, you actually got promoted to the elite class?"

Wang Hui's voice came through the communicator.

"You found out?"

"Of course I know. Everyone in the Green Bubble classmate group is talking about it, saying you've been hiding your true abilities. Is that true?"

"I haven't been hiding my strength; my Qi and Blood levels have only increased in the last few days."

"How is that possible? Everyone in the group is saying your Qi and Blood value has exceeded 6. How can you increase your Qi and Blood value so much in just a few days?"

"Of course, I have no reason to lie to you."

"Alright, alright, I'll be able to digest the medicinal power of the Blood Qi Essence Liquid soon. When that time comes, let's get together, and I'll tell you what kind of miraculous medicine your white-haired and beard-wearing Divine Sense Master used to make your blood qi increase so quickly."

"good!"

After saying that, Chen Lie put away the communicator and went to the bathroom to wash his face and rinse his mouth.

As Chen Lie walked into the living room, he suddenly heard a conversation.

Upon seeing Chen Lie, Feng Yuelan, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, stood up and said, "Chen Lie, come and say hello to your Aunt Liu."

Chen Lie then noticed a middle-aged woman sitting on his sofa.

He recognized the middle-aged woman; her name was Liu Lianqing. They had been neighbors for over ten years. They appeared to be on good terms, but secretly they often competed with each other.

"Hello, Aunt Liu."

Chen Lie came to the sofa and greeted his mother as she had instructed.

"Hey, Chen Lie? I haven't looked at this kid closely for a few months, and he's gotten even more handsome. How's it going? His Qi and Blood value still hasn't broken 1?"

Liu Lianqing looked at Chen Lie with a smile on her face.

"It's already broken 1," Feng Yuelan said from the side.

"Hmm, your Qi and Blood have finally broken through to level 1. It's just a pity that it's a bit late. There are only about 200 days left until the college entrance examination, so don't even think about getting into a top martial arts university. But it's okay. If you can work hard in the future, you still have a chance to get into a decent ordinary martial arts university."

Liu Lianqing shook her head, her tone full of regret.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuelan gave an unnatural smile as a response.

"I wonder what brings Aunt Liu to our house today?"

Chen Lie pretended not to hear Liu Lianqing's words, which were outwardly encouraging but inwardly critical.

"Hey, I was just about to tell your mom that your brother Zhenming got into the top martial arts university in Yunnan Province, right?"

During this time, your brother Zhenming has made great progress at university. He successfully broke through to the Martial Artist level. He happened to be back these past two days after taking leave, and your uncle and I were planning to hold a banquet to celebrate his advancement to Martial Artist. That's why we specially invited you all here."

"Zhenming has advanced to the Martial Artist level?" Feng Yuelan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there is a mentor at the key martial arts university in Yunchuan Province who values ​​Zhenming highly and helped him apply for most of the resources to advance to the level of a martial artist. Zhenming is also a worry-free kid. He broke through to the level of a martial artist without costing his family much money."

Liu Lianqing looked proud.

"I wonder when Zhenming's banquet for advancing to the Martial Arts Realm will be held?" Feng Yuelan asked.

"Three days from now, I'll have Zhenming's dad come to invite you, and I'll also have Chen Lie's dad come back. Your whole family has to come."

After Liu Lianqing finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave. Feng Yuelan tried to persuade him to stay, but Liu Lianqing said that he still had to invite the next family.

And so, Feng Yuelan saw Liu Lianqing to the door and then returned to the living room.

At this moment, Chen Xingyao came out of her room.

"Hmph, they held a celebration banquet for getting into Yun Chuan Martial Arts University, and now they're holding another banquet after breaking through to become a martial artist. Their family must have a lot of free time. They even said they wanted Dad to come back just to attend that stupid banquet of theirs. How can he have the nerve to do that?"

As soon as Chen Xingyao entered the living room, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Clearly, she had been hiding in the room eavesdropping.

"Your father wouldn't have come back specifically to attend the banquet," Feng Yuelan said.

"Of course we can't let Dad come back because of this. He Zhenming, he's almost twenty years old and only just became a martial artist. I don't know what he has to brag about!"

"Mom, let me make this clear first, I'm definitely not going to that banquet."

"Alright, alright, if none of you are going, Mom will go by herself."

As Feng Yuelan spoke, she took out an exquisite box from the drawer of the coffee table.

"Yaoyao, these are the martial arts crystal cards your father just sent. There are three sets, six crystal cards in total. You can choose the right time to use them."

"Wow, that's great!"

Chen Xingyao quickly ran over and took the fighting technique crystal card from her mother's hands.

She has now mastered the martial arts techniques to a high degree, and with the addition of these three sets of martial arts crystal cards, she will be able to use them proficiently.

Picking up the martial arts crystal card, Chen Xingyao couldn't wait to go to the training room at home to experiment with it.

"A psionic crystal card?"

Chen Lie looked at the box in Chen Xingyao's hand, lost in thought.

This thing was obsolete hundreds of years ago on other planets, but it's very popular on Earth.

"Mom, how many Star Coins do these three sets of Fighting Technique Crystal Cards cost?" Chen Lie asked.

"Probably close to 20,000 star coins? I'm not sure of the exact number," Feng Yuelan said.

Chen Lie nodded; he seemed to have come up with a way to make money quickly.

The psionic crystal card contains a large amount of spiritual power. Obviously, the main process in the production of the psionic crystal card is for the spiritual master to endow it with spiritual power.

Chen Lie knew without a doubt that mind masters were extremely rare on Blue Star, because Blue Star simply did not have the soil to nurture mind masters.

The scarcity of Divine Sense Masters determines the high price of Spirit Energy Crystal Cards. Chen Lie himself has already awakened his Divine Sense and condensed spiritual power within his sea of ​​consciousness, making it entirely possible for him to inscribe spiritual power onto Spirit Energy Crystal Cards.
