Chapter 274 Huo Jinghong
"So, there's more than one candidate for the position of Earth's ruler?"
Shen Miaowei nodded and said, "Indeed, there is more than one. Nobody knows exactly how many. The authorities have never announced it."
However, individuals who can be considered martial arts geniuses even at Starry Sky University are extremely rare on Blue Star, numbering only a handful.
"Oh, I thought there was only one candidate for Global Governor on Earth. It turns out there are multiple. So it seems that the title of Global Governor candidate is just a title with no real power," Chen Lie said.
Shen Miaowei explained, "That's not how it's said. Candidates for governor have the administrative status of members of the global political council. In principle, their status is half a level higher than that of a provincial governor in a regular province."
Of course, it is true that he has no real power. For someone who is devoted to martial arts, real power is of little use. However, the position of the candidate for governor is extraordinary. If he wants to do something, he can just say it, and even the headquarters of the Blue Star Martial Arts Association will not refuse to give him face.
The support that Earth provides to geniuses who become candidates for governor must be enormous, because their social status, personal talent, and other aspects are far beyond what we ordinary Earth University special admissions students can compare to.
As she said this, Shen Miaowei suddenly realized that Chen Lie seemed to be ranked ninth on the Blue Star Trainee Divine Sense Master Ranking.
Given how much importance the Blue Star government places on Divine Sense Masters, logically speaking, if Chen Lie passes the assessment for candidates for Governor, he could also become one of the candidates for Governor, and he wouldn't be categorized with them.
So she quickly changed her tune, saying, "Of course, Mr. Chen Lie is not included. Once you get into Blue Star University, you will surely catch up and not be inferior to this candidate for governor."
Chen Lie nodded without saying anything.
Before long, the many specially admitted students were driven to both sides of the training ground, leaving an empty road in the center of the training ground.
The stunningly beautiful woman and the handsome young man, both dressed in ancient attire, dismounted from the spirit beast carriage.
The handsome young man gestured for them to proceed: "The starship is ready, Princess Lingyan, please!"
The young woman with her hair tied up in a high bun said calmly, "You're too kind, Mr. Huo. I'd like to thank you for accompanying me on this trip to Blue Star."
I see Blue Star as unlike Crimson Star, so let's not mention the title of "Princess" again.
We both attend Starry Sky University, and since Crimson Flame Star and Blue Star are adjacent, we'll have many more interactions in the future. Just call me "Jingxi," and we'll be classmates.
The handsome young man nodded and said, "In that case, Jingxi, please just call me by my real name, Huo Jinghong."
""
The stunningly beautiful girl nodded slightly and walked towards the starship together with the handsome young man.
Chen Lie was standing on either side of the training ground when he suddenly heard Tang Jiu'er speaking behind him.
"Zhi Xun, that girl from beyond the stars, seems to be Princess Lingyan, Zhu Jingxi, from the Crimson Flame Star, which is adjacent to our Blue Star."
Luo Zhixun asked, "What Princess Lingyan?"
Tang Jiu'er said, "I heard it from my sister. The system of Chiyan Star is similar to that of our Blue Star hundreds of years ago. It is a feudal dynasty with a strict social hierarchy. I think it was called something like the Great Yan Dynasty."
Princess Lingyan, whose real name is Zhu Jingxi, is the legitimate daughter of the emperor and empress of the Great Yan Dynasty.
It is said that Princess Lingyan possessed exceptional martial arts talent. At the age of fifteen, she reached the pinnacle of the Qi and Blood stage, and was subsequently bestowed a title by the Emperor of Great Yan. She was a martial arts genius on the list of the top 100 geniuses in the Qi and Blood stage at the Canglan Star Region Starry Sky University.
"The pinnacle of Qi and blood at fifteen?"
Luo Zhixun exclaimed in surprise, "This is amazing!"
Even the sons of powerful families from the top ten provinces of Blue Star, if a martial arts student has a blood energy value of several hundred calories by the age of fifteen, they are considered a super martial arts genius.
"Surprised? The overall martial arts level of Crimson Flame Star is a level higher than that of our Blue Star."
Just like how we on Earth don't have tenth-tier martial artists, but Crimson Flame Star does.
"This Princess Lingyan, Zhu Jingxi's martial arts talent is top-notch even on Chiyan Star; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to squeeze into the top 100 geniuses in the Qi and Blood stage at Starry Sky University," Tang Jiu'er said.
"How do our Blue Star geniuses compare to this princess of Crimson Flame Star?" Luo Zhixun asked.
"They're definitely a bit lacking. For example, this candidate for governor, whose name seems to be Huo Jinghong, didn't make it into the top 100 of the Qi and Blood stage at Starry Sky University."
Luo Zhixun looked at Tang Jiu'er and said, "You know quite a lot, you even know the candidates for the position of governor of Blue Star."
"My sister told me all of this. She's also a student at Starry Sky University. When she comes home, she always tells me about people or things at Starry Sky University, and that's how I found out a little bit about it," Tang Jiu'er said.
Many people around heard Tang Jiu'er's words. Liu Wanwan from the Dongchuan Province Genius Group asked, "Tang, do you know what kind of ability this candidate for governor has? How old is he?"
"His strength is unclear, but someone who can become a candidate for governor must be a leading figure among the younger generation of martial arts on Blue Star. It's not surprising that his strength is eight times that of us and his blood energy is 7 or 8 kilocalories. As for his age, he should be only a few months older than us and be our peer."
As soon as Tang Jiu'er spoke, the people around her were in an uproar.
Eight times the strength, seven or eight thousand calories of energy?
A martial artist at the Qi and Blood Realm has actually reached this level? Compared to martial arts students on Earth, they are worlds apart. No wonder he can become a candidate for governor.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Liu Wanwan looked at the handsome young man in the middle, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
In her eyes, the handsome young man seemed to radiate divine light; compared to him, their Dongchuan Province...
Even the so-called martial arts geniuses of the three provinces in central Sichuan and the eight provinces in Shaanxi are like ordinary mortals.
Princess Lingyan Zhu Jingxi of the Great Yan Dynasty on Crimson Flame Star and Huo Jinghong, a candidate for governor of Blue Star, boarded the empty starship together.
"I just rode in the spirit beast chariot and looked around Kunlun Ruins. I found that the beast infestation on Blue Star is indeed serious. I hope that Jinghong can help me persuade the big shots on Blue Star to form an alliance with our Crimson Flame Star. We are willing to invite the Celestial Masters of Crimson Flame Star to Blue Star to investigate the beast infestation. In the future, we are also willing to work with Blue Star to punish Wood Origin Star." Zhu Jingxi said with her red lips slightly parted.
Huo Jinghong nodded and said, "Since the alliance between the two stars is beneficial to both sides, I will certainly agree."
"Thank you very much."
After Zhu Jingxi finished speaking, she added, "A month ago, the list of the top 100 mental power geniuses in the Canglan Star Region seemed to have changed."
A mental prodigy from Earth has climbed to 92nd place on the list of the top 100 mental prodigies. It is said that this mental prodigy is only 15 years old.
Jingxi has also achieved some success in the field of divine sense, but compared to Lanxing, who reached the top 100 of the Canglan Star Region's list of geniuses in spiritual power at the age of 15, she can only feel ashamed of herself.
"I wonder if you, Huo, could introduce me to this genius boy from Earth? I'd like to have a face-to-face exchange with this 15-year-old prodigy of divine sense."
Huo Jinghong said, "I'm not very familiar with this suddenly appearing second-best mental power genius on Blue Star, but since we're both from Blue Star, I don't think he'll refuse to give me face. I'll ask him when I get back to Blue Capital."
Zhu Jingxi nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your help."
Then, she turned and glanced at the spirit beast carriage outside, where two vermilion birds pulling the carriage were singing to the sky.
With a thought, she wanted to summon the two Vermilion Birds, but suddenly a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Could it be that the Vermilion Bird was affected by the malevolent energy of the high-level beasts in Kunlun Ruins, which impaired its intelligence?"
I recited the Beast Taming Technique, but the Vermilion Bird remained unmoved.
Huo Jinghong asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Jingxi said, "It's nothing."
She tried again to summon the beast using her mental power, but this time, she used a more rigorous method of beast control, using her mental power to stimulate the Vermilion Bird's intelligence.
The two vermilion birds shrieked shrilly, their eyes bloodshot, and with tremendous force broke free from the ropes on the cart, spreading their wings and viciously attacking people.
The Vermilion Bird spread its wings, which were eight or nine meters long. With a single flap, it sent more than ten specially admitted students flying more than ten meters.
In an instant, the two Vermilion Birds injured dozens of people.
At this moment, a Vermilion Bird suddenly fluttered over to the group of special recruits from Dongchuan Province, let out a cry, and flew three or four meters, its sharp claws reaching out to grab the special recruits from Dongchuan Province.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, someone shouted among the special admissions students from Dongchuan Province, but the surrounding crowd was so dense that there was no way to avoid it.
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Niao had caught four or five special recruits from Dongchuan Province in his palm.
Chen Lie turned around and saw that Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and several other trainees from the genius training camp had been caught in the claws of the Vermilion Bird.
"You beast, you're asking for death!"
Chen Lie leaped into the air, his powerful qi and blood bursting out of his body, and threw a heavy punch.
"boom!"
A punch with nearly 20,000 jin of force landed on the Vermilion Bird's vulnerable neck.
The Vermilion Bird cried out in pain, and the person it was holding in its claws was thrown to the ground with a thud.
At this moment, Ji Lingxuan, Shen Miaowei, Luo Zhixun, Wang Dongting and others who were not far away came up to help Chen Lie subdue the Vermilion Bird.
Before long, the Vermilion Bird was attacked dozens of times by several people. It flapped its wings and instantly flew dozens of meters off the ground, trying to escape.
"Trying to run away?"
Chen Lie launched a mental attack on the Vermilion Bird's consciousness.
The Vermilion Bird instantly fainted and fell from a height of tens of meters, crashing to the ground with a thud.
Seeing Feng Shuangshuang, Lu Qingchan, and the other three genius training camp students fall to the ground, Chen Lie immediately surrounded them.
Wei Ranran was quick-witted and agile. Knowing that Feng Shuangshuang and Lu Qingchan were both relatives and friends of Chen Lie, she immediately went forward to investigate them.
"Brother Chen Lie, they were scratched by that strange bird, their ribs were broken in several places, and they were thrown down with great force, which caused some impact to their internal organs. Their injuries are not light, but they are not too serious."
"A week of rest should be enough for a full recovery."
After Wei Ranran finished her examination, she immediately looked up at Chen Lie and said.
Chen Lie frowned and said, "Kill that beast!"
His words stunned everyone.
Killing a spirit beast that is a distinguished guest from outer space seems inappropriate, doesn't it?
Especially since the other party is a nobleman from the Crimson Flame Star.
At this moment, Feng Shuangshuang endured the pain and stood up, and was helped by Wei Ranran to walk in front of Chen Lie.
"No need for that. I'm actually fine, just a few broken ribs. For a martial artist, what's that?"
Lu Qingchan also stood up despite the pain and said, "Yes, it's not good to offend people like this, but we'll be fine."
Seeing that Lu Qingchan was having difficulty moving, Luo Zhixun, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward to help her.
Several members of the genius group nearby also came to persuade Chen Lie.
Chen Lie glanced at the Vermilion Bird lying on the ground, but said nothing.
Meanwhile, another Vermilion Bird was subdued by special admissions students from several of the top twenty provinces on Earth.
The Vermilion Bird was only a second-tier beast, so subduing it wouldn't be difficult. The reason why the special students from the top twenty provinces of Blue Star were slower than Chen Lie was because the other party held back, allowing the Vermilion Bird to be subdued without any injury.
On the starship, Zhu Jingxi was at a loss for a moment.
After a while, she said, "I'm sorry, Huo. It's possible that when we were watching at Kunlun Ruins, the two Vermilion Birds were affected by the evil aura emanating from the high-level beasts, which affected their minds and caused them to suddenly go berserk."
Someone must have been injured. I can pay compensation.
Huo Jinghong shook his head directly: "No one was killed, it's a minor matter, no need for compensation."
Huo Jinghong and Zhu Jingxi stepped off the airship again and came to the first subdued Vermilion Bird.
"Which province are you from, and which province are you enrolled through the special admissions program?"
The specially admitted students replied, "We are from Longgan Province."
Zhu Jingxi stepped forward lightly and said, "I'm so sorry, the spirit beast went out of control for a moment. Did it hurt anyone?"
"It's nothing serious, just two special admission students suffered minor injuries."
Huo Jinghong hummed in agreement and said, "I'm taking the Vermilion Bird with me."
He then summoned men to relock the Vermilion Bird and escort it onto the starship.
Immediately afterwards, he went to the Dongchuan Province Special Enrollment Center and saw Zhu Niao lying motionless on the ground, and immediately frowned.
"Which province are you from, and which province are you enrolled through the special admissions program?"
"We are special admissions students from Dongchuan Province," Liu Wanwan answered first from the crowd.
"What's wrong with this Vermilion Bird? Why is it lying on the ground, not moving at all?"
"This strange bird was berserk and attacked people earlier; it was probably injured by our captain and his men," Liu Wanwan said.
At this point, the accompanying people took a look.
They quickly reported, "Zhu Niao is fine. She may have been slightly injured and fainted."
Huo Jinghong instructed, "Bring the Vermilion Bird onto the Starship."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, the accompanying personnel immediately mobilized their forces to send the Vermilion Bird aboard the starship.
Just as Huo Jinghong was about to turn and leave, Chen Lie suddenly said, "Wait!"
"They injured someone, and without even an explanation, they just packed up and left?"
Huo Jinghong turned around, looked at Chen Lie, his expression slightly serious, and asked, "Who are you?"
"Chen Lie, leader of the Dongchuan military training group."
Chen Lie said without changing his expression.
Huo Jinghong wasn't surprised that he had heard of Dongchuan Province, one of the worst-performing provinces on Earth.
In his view, people from small places have no idea what kind of existence they are facing.
So he casually remarked, "Since someone is injured, go to the army's medical station for treatment. Or do you expect something from me?"
"Nonsense, this beast injured someone. Do you think I'd let you take it away so easily if you didn't leave some compensation?" Chen Lie retorted.
"Um?"
How dare someone from a remote, small province talk back to me like this? Does he not take my dignity seriously?
Even if people from small towns are arrogant and ignorant, Han has offended them so much that they must teach him a lesson.
Huo Jinghong unleashed his extreme pressure without any expression.
