"My family?"
Chen Lie found it strange.
How did we become "family"? Is this how you use the term "family"?
Zhao Mengmeng was even more puzzled. Her cousin's friend, a person with whom she had no connection whatsoever, and who might not even recognize her if they met, had somehow become family.
"By the way, Chen Lie, I saw that you could use mental power to attack and defeat your enemies during the Three Provinces Tournament in Yunnan and Sichuan. Your mental power cultivation must be quite high, right?"
As we all know, Divine Sense Masters are the nemesis of the phantom beasts in the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. Especially for Divine Sense Masters with strong consciousness, hunting phantom beasts is a piece of cake. Why didn't you use your mental power to attack? This lowest-level phantom beast shouldn't be able to escape, right?" Ruan Liuyun said.
Chen Lie said, "Can mental attacks suppress phantom beasts? I'm not sure."
"When you encounter another phantom beast later, you can try using mental attacks. That should easily subdue it," Ruan Liuyun said.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Lie nodded.
"Alright, then you can hunt the mythical beasts yourself. I'm going to the general area to exchange mythical beast cores for Galaxy Coins."

After Ruan Liuyun finished speaking, he waved to Chen Lie and then turned and left.
After glancing at Chen Lie, Zhao Mengmeng followed Ruan Liuyun back to the camp.
Upon arriving at the camp, Zhao Mengmeng asked, "Liu Yun, are you alright? Your cousin's friend, someone you have absolutely no connection with, is it really worth you wasting a crystal core on?"
Ruan Liuyun glanced at Zhao Mengmeng and explained, "He's not just an ordinary friend, he's my cousin's boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Zhao Mengmeng's eyes widened, and she said, "I remember you told me that you have a cousin with extremely high martial arts talent. She broke through the Qi and Blood Limit at the age of 17 and won fourth place in the martial arts competition of the genius team in Southern Jiangsu Province."
Is this the cousin you're talking about?
"Of course, I only have one cousin," Ruan Liuyun said.
"So young? And already dating? Will you still practice martial arts? Wouldn't that be a waste of such a great talent?" Zhao Mengmeng said.
"Of course not. Two people with good martial arts talent will have a positive effect on each other when they are together. As long as they both have a desire for martial arts, it will not hinder their martial arts practice," Ruan Liuyun said.
"That's true, but will your cousin's family agree?"
Your cousin and Chen Lie are definitely having a secret relationship, right? I personally think that if I were dating at this age, my parents would definitely disapprove.
"You don't need to worry about that," Ruan Liuyun said with a smile. "Chen Lie and my cousin were brought together by our elders. Now they just need to meet the parents. Otherwise, why would I call Chen Lie family?"
Zhao Mengmeng's eyes widened in disbelief. "What kind of amazing parents are these? So open-minded? They even actively tried to matchmake us! Aren't they afraid of hindering their daughter's martial arts progress?"
"If you knew Chen Lie's background, you wouldn't have said that," Ruan Liuyun said.
"What do you mean? Does that Chen Lie have a powerful background?"
Ruan Liuyun shook his head and said, "He has absolutely no connections!"
"Then why are you saying all this?"
"Let me finish telling you. A person born in Sichuan Province, which is one of the bottom 20 provinces on Earth, with no background and an ordinary family background, but who can rely on himself, went from being a martial arts student in an ordinary class to being promoted to an elite class, then was recruited into the genius training camp, was shortlisted for the provincial youth genius team, became the champion of martial arts in a province, and finally became the regional genius and the champion of martial arts in Sichuan Province."
Isn't this kind of talent far more valuable and precious than any powerful background?
"A regional genius? Although the martial arts in this remote place of Sichuan are probably not that strong, its value is comparable to that of the top martial arts champions in the top ten provinces of the planet."
If he really came from an ordinary family, he was indeed impressive. Before attending Starry Sky University, he could easily have entered the top fifty of the Blue Star Qi and Blood Martial Artist Ranking. After entering Starry Sky University, he was also among the most competitive people.
"Your cousin's parents have great taste! They managed to pick such a promising young man for your cousin from among so many people." Zhao Mengmeng exclaimed.
"You mustn't tell anyone about this; it's a private matter for our family," Ruan Liuyun instructed.
"Be careful, I'm not a big mouth."
"Okay, let's go to the general area to exchange for Galaxy Coins."
After Ruan Liuyun and Zhao Mengmeng left, Chen Lie and his group continued to search for mythical beasts in the surrounding area.
At this moment, Gao Yaqing, Huang Yuande, and Chen Huafeng suddenly froze for a moment.
Gao Yaqing was the first to recover and said, "Chen Lie, someone in our class sent us coordinates. It's about three kilometers to the north of us. We must have encountered a mythical beast."
"Yes, the coordinates were sent by a girl named Zhou Mengyuan. This Zhou Mengyuan is a student in our Hunan-Guangdong Province Genius Training Camp," Huang Yuande asked.
"You all received the coordinates? Why didn't I receive mine?" Chen Lie asked.
"Didn't you not show up when we entered the Sumeru Illusionary Realm last time?"
"At that time, Mu Ningshu asked everyone to establish a communication circle within the Sumeru Illusionary Realm. Since you weren't present, the coordinates naturally couldn't reach you," Huang Yuande said.
"How about I talk to the class monitor when I see her later and ask her to add you to the messaging circle too?" Gao Yaqing asked tentatively.
"No need for that trouble."
Chen Lie waved his hand and said, "If you're not in the messaging circle, then you're not."
"Should we go to the coordinates that were sent?" Gao Yaqing asked.
"Go!" Chen Lie nodded.
As soon as he gave the order, Gao Yaqing, Huang Yuande, and Chen Huafeng all rushed to the coordinates.
Chen Huafeng was extremely puzzled. Wasn't Chen Lie from a small place in Sichuan? How could he have such strong abilities? And how could he even know a second-year senior from Blue Star University?
About ten minutes later, Chen Lie and his group of four arrived at the center of the coordinates.
At this moment, dozens of students from the 15th key class had already gathered in front of them.
In the very center, four or five people were besieging a seven or eight-meter-long mythical beast with a blue face and fangs, resembling a giant thousand-legged worm.
Among those besieging the phantom beast were some of the strongest students from Class 15, including Chi Naixue, Mu Ningshu, and Liu Hengyu.
At this moment, the phantom beast roared angrily, its thousand legs sliding, even creating faint sparks in the void.
Mu Ningshu's powerful blood and qi surged, and she struck the phantom beast with a palm strike. The phantom beast then swung its tail and flung her dozens of meters away.
After landing, she said in a heavy voice, "This phantom beast must have the strength of the mid-to-late stage of the Refining Realm. With a single swipe of its tail, it can actually exert a force of more than 25,000 jin."
"Dear students, you must surround the magical beast and prevent it from escaping."
"Any student above the Tendon Refining stage can go forward and hunt the phantom beasts. With so many of us, even if we have to wear them down, we can still kill them!"
After Mu Ningshu finished speaking, the remaining dozens of people formed a circle and answered in unison, "Yes!"
In an instant, two students at the Muscle Refining stage stepped into the middle to help besiege the phantom beast.
The phantom beast suddenly unleashed its power, arching its body and exhaling a puff of smoke. Then, its body swayed, and "Bang!"
With two loud bangs, several students who were attacking them were sent flying.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ningshu immediately said, "Everyone, please don't go any further. This magical beast is extremely agile. It's best if no more than five people surround it, otherwise everyone will be unable to use their full strength and the magical beast will take advantage of any openings."
Students in the Muscle Refining stage should step back first, and wait until Chi Naixue, Liu Hengyu, and others who are besieging the phantom beast are exhausted before taking over the attack.
As soon as Mu Ningshu spoke, several cultivators at the Tendon Refining stage immediately withdrew from the battlefield.
After Chen Lie and the others arrived, Gao Yaqing glanced at the situation and asked, "Chen Lie, this phantom beast should be about the same strength as the one we just encountered."
"You can handle this by yourself, do you want to go and help?"
"Then I'll go take a look!"
Chen Lie leaped into the air and instantly landed in the middle where everyone was attacking the phantom beast.
At that moment, Mu Ningshu was once again knocked away by the phantom beast's tail. Just then, Chen Lie appeared behind Mu Ningshu and reached out to support her swaying figure.
She instinctively said, "Thank you."
But upon seeing Chen Lie's face clearly, Mu Ningshu's expression immediately turned cold, and she said, "Didn't I just say that if too many people attack the phantom beast, it will be impossible to clear the area? Who let you come here?"
Chen Lie abruptly pushed Mu Ningshu away, then said expressionlessly, "You mean you don't need my help?"
Mu Ningshu sneered, "Don't cause trouble for others, just take care of yourself!"
"OK!"
Seeing this, Chen Lie stopped insisting and retreated back into the crowd.
Just then, Tang Guanlin and his group of five walked over from a distance.
He walked into the circle of dozens of students, exchanged a glance with Chen Lie who had returned to the crowd, and said, "Class Monitor Mu Ningshu, I think the two who were attacking the phantom beast are a bit exhausted. Why don't we take them down and I'll fill in?"
"Tang Guanlin?"
Mu Ningshu was taken aback when she saw Tang Guanlin. She knew that Tang Guanlin was at the Refining Body stage and would be more effective than the two at the Bone Refining stage, so she said, "Alright, Liu Hengyu and Jiang Tianming, you two step down!"
As soon as Mu Ningshu finished speaking, the two nearly exhausted people withdrew from the hunt for the magical beasts, and Tang Guanlin quickly took their place.
The moment he appeared, the idea of a set of SS-level martial arts techniques came to fruition.
"Nine Songs of Chongming Palm!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Dozens of palm prints landed on the phantom beast in an instant, temporarily repelling it.
Chi Naixue, who was initially struggling to cope with the two people's withdrawal, instantly felt relieved.
She looked at Tang Guanlin with a sweet smile: "Tang, you've finally arrived."
"Chi, if you feel exhausted, you can go and rest for a while. I will fight the phantom beast by myself," Tang Guanlin said.
"No need. You hold off the phantom beast for a moment. The instructor said that mental attacks are extremely damaging to phantom beasts. You hold off the phantom beast while I unleash my mental attacks from the side."
"good!"
After answering, Tang Guanlin immediately stepped forward and engaged the phantom beast in battle.
He unleashed a series of palm strikes, the palm prints hitting the phantom beast, which did not dodge but instead lashed out with its tail.
"Bang!"
The powerful impact forced Tang Guanlin to retreat.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Guanlin flew forward again and engaged in battle with the phantom beast.
Chi Naixue began to mobilize her spiritual power. Her sea of consciousness was not vast, but her spiritual awareness was top-notch.
In a battle, she can only launch two mental attacks at most before consuming all her mental energy. Moreover, she must be within ten meters of the target to launch a mental attack, otherwise the effect of the mental attack will be greatly reduced.
Just as Tang Guanlin was engaged in a fierce battle with the phantom beast, Chi Naixue suddenly launched a mental attack.
A whip of spiritual power struck straight at the phantom beast.
"Awooo————"
The phantom beast suddenly let out a strange cry, its huge body reacting continuously on the ground, and its thousand legs instantly retracted.
"A great opportunity!"
Upon witnessing the phantom beast's attack, Tang Guanlin didn't waste a moment. He struck ruthlessly, delivering over a dozen blows to the phantom beast's vital points in an instant.
After being hit, the phantom beast suddenly shrank drastically.
In an instant, the phantom beast's blue-faced, fanged appearance vanished, transforming into two fish-headed, eel-bodied creatures that swam away in all directions.
"Stop it! This is a rare mythical beast that can be split in two. If one escapes, our hunt will have failed!"
Tang Guanlin shouted.
The two fish-headed, eel-bodied phantom beasts split up and escaped in two directions. One of them entered the encirclement and was instantly captured by Liu Hengyu and a student in the Tendon Refining stage.
However, the other mythical beast nimbly broke through the encirclement.
"The phantom beast is badly injured and can't go far. Hurry and chase after it!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Ningshu immediately leaped up and went to chase after them.
Several top students from Class 15 rushed to the front.
Before the phantom beast with a fish head and an eel body could escape even a few hundred meters, it was caught in the palm of a fair and smooth slender hand.
"Hehe, I'm so lucky today! I just stood here and a magical beast core came into my hand. It's a rare magical beast with two cores."
At that moment, a girl walked up to the students of the 15th elite class. She held the struggling phantom beast with the head of a fish and the body of an eel in her hand and muttered to herself with a grin.
Tang Guanlin was the first to approach the girl and said, "Classmate, this mythical beast was severely damaged by our 15th elite class with great effort. Could you please return it to us?"
The girl glanced at Tang Guanlin indifferently and said, "This is clearly a magical beast I caught casually. Why should I give it to you when it's in my possession?"
"This was a serious injury that our 15th elite class managed to inflict with great effort; so many of us can testify to that."
"Enough with the nonsense. You think I'd just give away what's in my hands for nothing? You're dreaming!"
At this moment, Mu Ningshu also came up and said in a cold voice, "So, you want to take this magical beast for yourself?"
""
"I caught it anyway, so what's wrong with keeping it for myself?" the girl said nonchalantly.
"The phantom beast was severely injured by us after a great deal of effort, how did it become something you captured?" Mu Ningshu questioned.
"Heh, are you trying to reason with me? Sorry, I'm not one to reason. What's in my hands is mine. You can't expect me to return it just by talking!
