Chapter 230 Bone Refining
"So you were staring at the communicator on the airship for a full five hours just to wait for this?"
Chang Guirong looked at Chen Ye and asked.
"Of course not, I also searched for other information about Ruan Liusu online."
I discovered that this Ruan Liusu is not only beautiful, but also has great martial arts talent. At only 17 years old, her Qi and Blood value is already 3,000 calories, which is much better than the members of our Dongchuan Province Genius Team. She is also at the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm.
"Mom, I've made up my mind. I will marry no one but Ruan Liusu in this lifetime," Chen Ye said.
"You silly child!"
Chang Guirong shook her head and sighed.
Immediately afterward, Chang Guirong said to Chen Shijian, who was eating, "Dad, how do you plan to persuade the third son to introduce that expert to Ono?"
"What else can I say? I'll come and talk to you directly tomorrow," Chen Shijian said.
"I'm afraid this is a bit abrupt. Since you've already taken a week off, you can spend these few days getting to know Lao San's family better before making this request. After all, you haven't seen each other for several years."
"So, I'll call Yun Chuan's Ge Qun back tomorrow. You can visit them a few days in advance, and then bring up this matter when the time is right. That way, they won't be able to refuse out of courtesy or reason."
"Then let's do it your way!" Chen Shijian replied.
At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly exclaimed with delight: "Great! She accepted my friend request!"
'
"Mom, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going back to my room to chat with Ruan Liusu."
With that, Chen Ye left the dining table and went back to his room.
Upon seeing this, Chen Guangqun could only shake his head and sigh.
Given his son's temperament, even if his martial arts achievements truly caught up with Chen Lie's, he would probably become arrogant and blindly conceited. He still remembered the last time he saw Chen Lie, whose humble yet dignified demeanor truly had the air of a strongman. His son was simply no match for him.
As soon as Chen Ye returned to his room, he immediately sent a smiley face to his friend account nicknamed "Liusu".
He then edited and sent the message: "Hello, this is Chen Ye."
In the Ruan family home in Su Nan Province, Ruan Liusu was somewhat surprised. She had just accepted the friend request, and the other party had already opened the chat. Could it be that this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province had been watching the communicator all along?
Those who practice martial arts, especially those who have achieved a certain level of success in martial arts, can become truly addicted to it. In particular, they can feel their strength gradually improving, and no matter how hard the training is, they simply cannot stop practicing.
Someone like her might not even have time to open a green bubble once a week, but this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province has such leisure and elegance, replying to messages instantly. Is it just a coincidence?
Thinking of her father's and grandfather's words, Ruan Liusu patiently answered, "I am Ruan Liusu."
Upon receiving the reply in his room, Chen Ye was so happy he almost jumped up. He quickly said, "Hello, Liu Su. Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Ye. You can call me Xiao Ye from now on."
I'm 18 years old and from Changdong City, Dongchuan Province. May I ask how old you are?
Tassel: "17".
Chen Ye: "That's great! We're such a perfect match in terms of age!"
Upon seeing this message, Ruan Liusu frowned and typed a message: "I heard you're the top martial arts champion in Dongchuan Province?"
Chen Ye replied somewhat guiltily, "Ah? Yeah—"
Liu Su: "Isn't the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province named Chen Lie? But you just said your name is Chen Ye."
Chen Ye: "Uh, that's—Chen Ye is my nickname. Outside, everyone calls me Chen Lie."
Liu Su: "The champion of martial arts in Dongchuan Province must have quite a high level of skill in martial arts, right?"
You should have reached the pinnacle of the Qi and Blood stage by now, right? What are your Qi and Blood values and Strength values? Which stage of the Six Steps of Body Refinement have you reached?
Chen Ye was most afraid of being asked about martial arts. As a martial arts student with less than 200 points of Qi and Blood, how would he know what the Qi and Blood Extreme Realm and the Six Steps of Body Refinement meant?
He could only give a vague reply, and then changed the subject to other things, such as how many cities there were in the southern Jiangsu province, how many counties there were, and how many people lived there.
Ruan Liusu patiently chatted with Chen Ye for ten minutes.
Finally, she got really bored, sent "Going to take a shower," and ended the conversation.
Ten minutes of conversation left her greatly disappointed with this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province; in her opinion, he was simply naive.
Thinking of her father's confident words, "The champion of martial arts in a province, who comes from an ordinary family, must be so extraordinary, so tenacious, and so self-reliant," she subconsciously thought highly of this champion of martial arts in Dongchuan. Now that her expectations have not been met, she is even unwilling to go to the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament in Yunchuan.
At dinner, Grandpa Ruan Zhengzhi asked, "Susu, how's it going? Have you contacted that Chen guy yet?"
Ruan Liusu said expressionlessly, "I chatted at Green Bubble for a while, but I felt it was just so-so."
"Hey, Green Bubble's chatting with you, they're thousands of miles apart, how come you feel like they're just friends?"
"This person doesn't seem like someone who has practiced martial arts very hard, and when I asked him about his martial arts strength, he gave irrelevant answers and stammered, unable to give a clear answer. It's obvious that his martial arts achievements are not very good, so he is ashamed to talk about it," Ruan Liusu said.
Ruan Liusu's father suddenly stopped picking up food and said calmly, "The champion of martial arts in a province must have his own unique skills."
Think about it yourself, how bad can someone who can stand out from tens of millions of peers be, even if they are not good at martial arts?
We shouldn't label someone negatively based on their words alone.
You can only make a decision after you've met the person in person.
Ruan Liusu nodded slightly: "Alright then, in a couple of days I'll go to the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament in Yunchuan to take a look and relax."
"That's right. Once you've had a proper conversation with this Chen guy, and you still feel he's not good enough, your dad and I definitely won't force you," Ruan Zhengzhi said.
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that? You're trying to find a partner, but you haven't even figured out the other person's name before coming to the Genius Group to find me."
"Now I'm afraid all the members of the genius group know!" Ruan Liusu said angrily.
"This is Grandpa's fault. Did you make sure you knew the name?"
"I asked, and he said Chen Ye is his nickname; he's called Chen Lie outside."
Ruan Zhengzhi chuckled and said, "So that's how it is. Then Grandpa wasn't wrong after all."
Inside the training ground of the Dongchuan Province Genius Team.
Furuta gathered all the members of the genius team together.
On the stage, Gu Tian glanced at the group of geniuses below and said, "Classmates, we will set off for Yunchuan early tomorrow morning to participate in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament."
For the past two decades, we have been evenly matched with Sichuan Province, but Yunnan Province has always been able to take the lead.
Fortunately, this year, our Dongchuan Province genius team has produced three geniuses: Chen Lie, Wang Dongting, and Luo Zhixun, who have entered the ultimate realm of Qi and Blood.
These three students are all likely to compete for a top-five finish in the martial arts competition, and have a very high chance of making it into the top ten.
Other students should also work hard and strive for a good result in the martial arts competition.
Take a break today and get some rest so you can be in top condition for the upcoming Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
Okay, everyone, you can all go now!
As the members of the genius group dispersed, Gu Tian looked at Chen Lie and said, "Chen Lie, come with me for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lie followed Gu Tian to an office.
Once inside the office, Gu Tian took out a box and gave it to Chen Lie.
"Chen Lie, here is the Azure Bone Bamboo you requested. The Martial Arts Association has found it for you."
Chairman Xu gave special permission to expedite the search for you, but even with the best efforts, we only managed to find it yesterday. We're leaving for Yunchuan tomorrow, so I don't know if we'll make it in time.
Chen Lie nodded and said, "There's enough time!"
"It's good that you made it in time. You bear the heavy responsibility of whether Dongchuan Province can win the top three in the martial arts competition. The other members can have a good rest for a day. Now your strength still has room for improvement. Can't you use the remaining time to further improve your strength like the other members?"
"Okay, I understand!"
"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore, you can go ahead."
After saying goodbye to Gu Tian, Chen Lie left the office, found a training room in the Genius Group's training ground, and went inside.
Inside the cultivation room, Chen Lie opened the box containing the Canggu Bamboo, revealing a section of dark white bamboo that resembled a piece of withered bone, exuding a gloomy and chilling aura.
"It really is the Green Bone Bamboo!"
Chen Lie tossed the box aside, took the Canggu Bamboo, and went to the training platform in the middle of the training room, where he sat cross-legged.
At the same time, he quickly activated the bone-refining method of the "Dragon Nirvana Technique," causing his blood and qi to surge throughout his body.
A surge of powerful energy burst forth from his body, forming a blood-red dragon that devoured the Azure Bone Bamboo in Chen Lie's hand in one gulp.
Immediately afterwards, the Qi and Blood Dragon coiled around Chen Lie's body and slowly returned to him.
In a short while, the Canggu bamboo was absorbed into Chen Lie's blood and qi.
Chen Lie circulated the "Dragon Nirvana Technique" once, withdrawing his abundant qi and blood, and began to control the qi and blood within his body, constantly flushing his bones.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Lie used a secret technique to manipulate his qi and blood, cleansing his bones thousands of times.
At this moment, his bones had been lengthened and tempered, and there was some damage on the surface. Chen Lie knew that the time had come, so he used the method of nourishing blood and qi recorded in the "Dragon Nirvana Technique" to control the blood and qi to nourish his bones.
At this moment, the Canggu bamboo fully exerts its bone-strengthening effect.
Finally, a precious skeleton was completed inside Chen Lie's body.
Chen Lie used his divine sense to look inward and saw that the bones in his body were radiating a precious light, making his body surface reveal a ghostly white glow.
"The Bone Refining stage training is complete!"
Chen Lie stood up and circulated his surging internal energy. At this moment, his physical strength had increased significantly.
The completion of the bone refining process caused the burden on Chen Lie's body, which had been subjected to immense pressure, to disappear instantly.
"The bones within my body radiate precious light. According to extraterrestrials, I have already mastered a set of precious bones."
An ordinary person who has completed bone refining can only withstand a force of up to 18000 jin (approximately 9,500 kg), while one who has refined their bones can withstand a force of nearly 20,000 jin (approximately 10,000 kg).
Chen Lie left the training room and saw that it was already dark and the training ground of the genius group was deserted. So he went to the martial arts arena and practiced a set of basic fist techniques with all his might.
After completing the Bone Refining stage of cultivation, he exerted all his strength and indeed felt no burden whatsoever.
"The bone refining stage is complete. Although you have cultivated a precious bone structure, this is not the end of the bone refining process."
Before I begin the purification process, I need to reshape my entire body's muscles and bones, thoroughly cultivating them into the "Dragon Muscles and Flood Dragon Bones" described in the "Flood Dragon Nirvana Technique."
Resources for building muscle and bones are undoubtedly valuable, so Chen Lie is determined to win the first place prize in the Three Rivers Martial Arts Tournament.
When Chen Lie returned home, it was already very late.
When Feng Yuelan saw her son return, she quickly went up to him and asked, "Chen Lie, why are you so late today?"
Chen Lie said, "I was practicing martial arts and didn't pay attention to the time."
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. In the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, we just need to get a decent ranking."
"After all, your father and I are already very satisfied with how far you've come in martial arts," Feng Yuelan said.
"I don't feel any pressure."
Chen Lie shook his head and went inside. Suddenly, he saw his father, Chen Gequn, and asked, "Dad, you're back too?"
'
Chen Gequn walked over and said, "Isn't the Three Provinces Military Assembly about to start? Dad's back to see you!"
Chen Lie, unsuspecting, said, "I'm going to Yunchuan tomorrow to participate in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, which may last for two consecutive days."
"Okay, go ahead without worry. Dad will be waiting for your good news at home," Chen Gequn said.
Feng Yuelan said, "Go eat quickly, I saved some for you!"
Chen Lie nodded and went to the restaurant to eat.
Chen Xingyao poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Chen Lie: "Brother!"
Chen Lie hummed in agreement and took the glass of water.
"Brother, you're going to Yunchuan tomorrow to participate in the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament. You must do your best and get a good ranking."
I heard from Dad and Mom today that they'll throw a banquet for you when you come back from the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament.
Chen Lie nodded: "I understand!"
After finishing his meal, Chen Lie went back to his room to rest.
In the living room, Feng Yuelan said, "You didn't tell Grandpa Chen Lie that he was back, did you?"
"No, how could I let my son be distracted by such a trivial matter during such a crucial period as the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament?" Chen Gequn said.
"Do you think Dad came back this time for something?" Feng Yuelan asked.
Chen Gequn said, "Dad and my second brother's family visited together, what other reason could there be?"
"Isn't it just that he wants his son to introduce that so-called expert to Chen Ye?"
"They're even blaming our family for this! If Dad asks, where are we supposed to find such an expert? We can't just reveal our son's secret, can we?"
"Of course not! Don't worry, I'll say so when the time comes."
The next morning, Chen Lie came out of his room. Following the instructions of the Martial Arts Association, he specially put on the uniform that the Dongchuan Province Genius Team had just given him. After washing up, he left home.
Following the notification from the Genius Group's main group, he went directly to the plaza outside the Martial Arts Association.
As soon as Chen Lie stepped off the airship, he saw someone waving at him from the middle of the square.
"Chen Lie, over here!"
Luo Zhixun walked out from the crowd, and Chen Lie immediately went up to her when he saw her.
When Chen Lie walked up to her, Luo Zhixun felt that Chen Lie had changed a bit compared to before.
After a careful examination, Luo Zhixun asked, "Chen Lie, has your martial arts skill improved again?"
"I have improved even more."
"You've successfully strengthened your tendons?"
Chen Lie hummed in agreement.
"Could they have already started bone refining?"
"Initiating bone tempering!"
Because the final stage of bone and tendon training, "Dragon Tendons and Flood Dragon Bones," has not yet been completed, Chen Lie has not yet escaped the scope of bone refining.
"Your martial arts have progressed incredibly quickly. Your situation is a classic example of a sudden enlightenment followed by surpassing others, isn't it?"
When Luo Zhixun first met Chen Lie, he was just a student at a talent training camp. Now, he has become the top martial arts champion in the province, and his martial arts skills are already ahead of hers.
"Probably." Chen Lie nodded.
"Brother Chen Lie!"
At this moment, Wei Ranran stepped off her own airship.
She spotted Chen Lie immediately and walked towards him.
"Brother Chen Lie, have you had breakfast?" Wei Ranran asked as she approached Chen Lie.
"no."
"Perfect timing! My mom prepared breakfast for me and asked me to bring some to you. Here you go!"
As she spoke, Wei Ranran took out a lunchbox from the front and back and gave it to Chen Lie.
Chen Lie didn't stand on ceremony and took the lunchbox directly, starting to eat.
At this moment, Wei Ranran's father, Wei Hongye, also got off the airship.
"Chen Lie, Ranran told me that you were very protective of her during the last gathering of the three provinces, so I came here specifically to thank you in person."
Wei Hongye said.
"Uncle Wei, you're too kind. It's my pleasure," Chen Lie replied.
"Alright, you're about to set off for Yunchuan, so I won't bother you any longer. I'll be going now."
After saying "Take care" to Wei Hongye, Chen Lie quickly finished the breakfast that Wei Ranran had given him and returned the lunchbox to Wei Ranran.
Wei Ranran took the lunchbox, threw it directly into the nearby trash can, and said with a smile, "Just throw it away. I can't exactly bring it to Yunchuan and then take it there again, can I?"
After seeing that Chen Lie had finished his breakfast, Luo Zhixun came up to him and said, "Chen Lie, almost all the members have arrived. Let's go over there."
"good!"
After Chen Lie nodded, he, Luo Zhixun, and Wei Ranran arrived at the center of the square.
When Chen Lie arrived, almost all the members nodded and greeted him, "Hello, Captain!"
Chen Lie hummed in agreement and looked at each of the members.
Lu Qingying, amidst the crowd, was also forced to shout "Hello, Captain!"
She simply couldn't understand how someone who had been in the same genius training camp as her could become the top martial arts champion in the province in just a few months.
This is truly unbelievable. How could someone's martial arts improve so quickly?
She could only obediently suppress the hatred that was displayed in the genius training camp, which placed her above others; she didn't want to become the second Cui Jinyang.
At this moment, a group of staff members from the provincial television station set up their cameras and began filming the members of the genius team in the square.
A beautiful reporter from Dongchuan Provincial Television stood in front of the camera, microphone in hand.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Shumin, a reporter from the provincial television station."
I am currently in the square outside the Dongchuan Provincial Martial Arts Association. Behind me are the members of our Dongchuan Provincial Youth Genius Team.
Today, all members of our genius team are going to Yunnan to participate in the annual grand martial arts competition among the three provinces in Sichuan.
During the Three Provinces Martial Arts Tournament, our team will be filming the entire event. If you would like to learn more about the tournament, please follow the Dongchuan TV live broadcast WeChat account.
