Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

In the Martial Temple of Qiulong Mansion.

A group of old scholars stared at Chen Ku's ranking on the 'Longyuan Jiuzhou Genius List' on the golden list at the top of the hall without blinking, and it seemed to be flickering and jumping like a ray of inspiration.

It actually jumped from 964th to 864th place, and its upward trend has not ended yet.

"Over a hundred people at once?"

The old scholar Xin Ruhai in the Martial Temple was surprised and said in a moving voice:

“This is amazing.”

Although they also knew that the 964th place before Chen Ku was the ranking evaluated by the rules imprinted in the world of martial arts when Chen Ku took the examination for martial arts.

Evaluate based on Chen Ku’s performance in the martial arts world last time.

Being ranked over 900 may not seem like a significant result, but we must understand that this list is based on a huge population base.

Longyuan Province has nine states and 108 prefectures, with more than one thousand counties and a total population of about 1.3 billion.

Among such a huge population base, anyone who can be called a "genius" can be said to have the qualifications and talents of "one in ten thousand" or even "one in a hundred thousand".

There are 1.3 billion people. Although 99% of them are ordinary people who have been excluded, without practicing martial arts, or having any achievements or fame, even so, there are still hundreds of thousands of people on the entire genius list.

It is conceivable how amazing it was that Chen Ku was able to rank among the top 1,000 people for the first time.

And the higher you move forward in the top 1,000, the more difficult it becomes, like a huge army crossing a single-plank bridge.

There are one thousand counties in Longyuan Province. If we divide the top one thousand places, it would be a great fortune if one person out of one hundred thousand people in a county could be ranked in the top one thousand. This is still an ideal situation.

The real situation is.

The bigger the city, the more resources and the more geniuses there are, almost clustered together. And the more remote the county, the number of geniuses decreases exponentially. This involves some kind of "wealth accumulation" rule.

Yes,

Among the Kyushu geniuses who are in the top 1,000, which one of them has not won the title of "the best" in a certain field in their own prefecture or county, whether it is the best sword moves, the best knife skills, the best speed and body movements, the best strength, or the best power...

As a result, Chen Ku now made an effort and surpassed a hundred places in a row, surpassing the hundred geniuses in front of him, which was equivalent to him defeating almost all the geniuses in the hundred counties in an instant.

Not only the old scholars in the Qiulong Mansion's Martial Temple were surprised.

Among the nine states, one hundred and eight prefectures and nearly one thousand counties in Longyuan Province, all the one hundred geniuses listed in the range of 864 to 964 on the Nine States Genius List also learned the news from their own martial arts golden orders at the same time.

My ranking dropped one place instantly.

The ten people who were originally ranked with Chen Ku between 960 and 970 saw it most clearly...

In Canglan Mansion, a girl in a light yellow skirt saw that her ranking had dropped to 962nd, and then she saw the person who was originally 964th...

Disappeared under his own rank.

She had just checked her ranking yesterday.

Generally speaking, the rankings on the genius list will not change for ten days or half a month.

and so……

The result is obvious.

It was this Qiulong Mansion martial arts candidate named Chen Ku, who had been below him not long ago, who suddenly surpassed him today.

"Chen Ku, Chen Ku..." Huang Ruolan walked towards the Martial Temple of Canglan Mansion curiously.

Suddenly, I was overtaken by someone below me.

She naturally wanted to see how far ahead of her this person was now.

The ranking changes on the Jiuzhou Genius List instantly attracted the attention of all the top 1,000 geniuses in more than 1,000 counties in Jiuzhou.

Liangzhou, Qianyuan Mountain.

Qianyuan Mountain is the only sect with the word "Zong" in its name in Liangzhou, Longyuan Province.

"Within one day, he has risen by one hundred places. This kind of explosive speed, unless there are special circumstances, means that this young genius named Chen Ku will most likely be among the 'Longyuan Hundred Heroes' before he turns fifty."

In Qianyuan Mountain, an old Taoist priest wearing a crane cloak and holding a whisk looked at a mirror in the main hall, which reflected Chen Ku's rank. He praised softly:
“It has great potential.”

"We can only see the person's ranking, but not his age, so it's hard to make a comment."

Another female Taoist laughed softly and said:

"If a scholar is in his thirties or forties, then he is only a few years away from being removed from the list. Even if he can climb up a hundred places in a short period of time, there are still eight hundred people ahead of him. The higher the ranking, the more talented the people ahead are, and the more difficult it is to surpass them."

Since the Longyuan Jiuzhou Genius List accepts geniuses, there must be an age limit.

Fifty is a threshold.

A warrior over the age of fifty, no matter how powerful he is and how qualified and capable he is to be on the list, will be considered to have lost his potential and will not be able to be on the genius list.

Under this condition, all geniuses on the list will automatically be removed from the list once they reach the age of fifty.

fifty years old,
At this age, most ordinary people would probably already be half buried in the ground.

But for a martial artist who practices martial arts, if he reaches the strongest level in the five realms, he can live to about two hundred years old.

In the context of a lifespan of 200 years, a fifty-year-old warrior is equivalent to a normal person of 20 years old.

Therefore, cultivating to the fifth level before the age of fifty is the minimum threshold for a genius.

"It shouldn't be a juren in his thirties or forties." The elder of Qianyuan Mountain, who is of a very senior generation, pondered: "I think the probability of it being a young person is greater." After all, how could a juren in his thirties or forties be so vigorous and powerful and climb to a higher position of more than 100 in an instant?

"Unfortunately, we are in Liangzhou and he is in Youzhou. Although we are both in Longyuan Province, we are 50,000 to 60,000 miles apart. We cannot investigate him carefully. Otherwise, if he is really a young genius, with his momentum of being able to rise a hundred places in one breath, he would be qualified to become a registered disciple of Qianyuan Mountain in Liangzhou." The Taoist nun sighed.

"That's right. I guess the Youzhou Miefalou has already started collecting information about this genius." Elder Qianyuanshan sighed, "Youzhou is indeed the capital of the Yan Kingdom three generations ago. It has many talented people and a beautiful environment. The frequency of geniuses appearing here is much higher than in our bitter and cold Liangzhou."

The Taoist nun said softly, "But it is precisely because of this that some people who are qualified to join the sect are highly valued in our remote Liangzhou, but in Youzhou, they may not be qualified to join the sect. There are too many geniuses."

The elder thought: "Let's pay more attention to him. If he is really a genius and the Law Extermination Building didn't take a fancy to him at the first time, maybe we can go to the Qiulong Mansion to look for this person."

There are also strong and weak people within the sect.

It seemed that the people from Qianyuan Mountain in Liangzhou had guessed it right.

as predicted.

In the territory of Youzhou, there is the only sect-level force in the Destruction Tower.

The mountains are towering, and on the top of the mountains there are tall buildings that reach into the clouds, as if they can pick the stars.

Murong Cheng, the elder who was in charge of transmitting the skills in the Dharma-Exterminating Tower, also received news from some people in the outer hall below.

Looking at the two words Chen Ku.

He smiled and said:
"Even if you climb up a hundred places instantly, you're still in the top eight hundred. How can this be enough to get into my Destruction Tower?"

This is not self-praise.

After all, those people in the top 100 of the genius list, if they want to join these big sects, they still have to be carefully selected and picked.

Why would it be necessary to be in such a hurry to recruit a genius who is ranked among the top 800?

As Murong Cheng spoke, he glanced at the Kyushu Genius List on the table.

Sects like theirs have close ties with the Imperial Martial Temple, so this kind of list, which allows one to see all the genius vacancies at any time, is specially made.

I watched Chen Ku jump up a hundred places, continue to rise, and finally stop at one position.

No. 850: Chen Ku, born as a martial artist in Qiulong Mansion - the best in the six realms of Qiulong Mansion
"The best in the Six Realms of Root Bones, that's a pretty good evaluation... Unfortunately, he can only be ranked outside the top 800..."

Murong Cheng casually covered the list with his hand:
"If I can get into the top 500, maybe I'll pay more attention to me."

………………

Chen Ku didn't know that his ranking had risen by more than a hundred places in a row, which had already created a small news among more than a thousand counties and even several sects in the entire Longyuan Province.

He just looked at his ranking on the genius list and confirmed that he was at number 850. After his resume, there was a new record and achievement - number one in the sixth level of bone structure in Qiulong Mansion.

He thought to himself:
"I think I figured out the source of the power in the stick I used to kill the Blood Maple King. It didn't come from the technique, but from my own bones..."

Thinking of this, he smiled in his heart:
"I was worried before whether the rules of this martial arts world would reveal my true form. Now it seems that they can only see some superficial things and cannot see through my changes."

The stick he used to kill the Blood Maple Tree King unleashed the power of seven dragons, amounting to about 700,000 kilograms. His own strength was at most a few tens of thousands of kilograms.

The more than 600,000 jin of six dragon power all came from the blessing of the transformation diagram, and was counted as the strength of his own bones.

As a result, the martial arts world also thinks so.

He relaxed slightly.

Immediately, he bathed in the golden light of the martial arts world and accepted the reward for killing the Blood Maple Tree King.

[Chen Ku, a scholar, cleared the Blood Maple Forest in three breaths, creating a new record in the martial arts world]

[Regular clearance reward: Green Gold Cicada Shell (Top-grade elixir)]

[Record-breaking reward: Earth Fire Black Gold (divine weapon-level casting material)]

Chen Ku stretched out his hand, caught the two rewards that fell from the golden light, and looked at them carefully.

The lapis lazuli cicada shell was only three inches in size, its texture was neither gold nor jade, it sparkled with a metallic luster, had a sharp aura, and carried a rich medicinal fragrance.

The lapis lazuli cicada is a top-grade spiritual insect. It is said to feed on the vapor of metals and is an extremely precious "medicinal spiritual insect". The shed cicada shell alone has the medicinal effect of a top-grade spiritual medicine.

However, Chen Ku knew that this was an important item that could open the hidden level of Jinguanlin.

Immediately,

Then he looked at the fist-sized piece, which looked like a piece of black gold nugget, irregular and bumpy. It seemed to have life inside, flashing with metallic light.

"Divine weapon-grade casting material, Earth Core Black Gold."

Chen Ku is happy:

"The third piece of divine weapon-grade casting material."

The last time he entered the world of martial arts, he had already obtained two pieces of divine weapon-grade casting materials.

One is the Nine Li Armor Leaf, which is the armor leaf that fell off from the Nine Li Tongtian Armor, the protective magic treasure of King Li. It is magical and has a strong spiritual energy. It is a rare material for making various weapons and armor.

Another one is the Millennium Cold Iron Elite, a piece of indigo ore the size of a human head, shaped like a honeycomb, faintly emitting an extremely hard glow. He got it after breaking the record at the Sand Snake King level in the Five Elements Valley.

"Three pieces of divine weapon-grade casting materials, theoretically speaking, based on the quality alone, can already be used to create a divine weapon and armor."

Chen Ku secretly said:

"Although I still need 180,000 martial luck, I can go to the stone tablet first to see what kind of weapons can be made with these three divine weapon-level casting materials?" (End of this chapter)
