Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

"Let's see how many places Chen Ku has moved up on the genius list?"

At the urging of a group of old scholars from the Martial Temple.

Zhao Shenyang was also excited and eager, but he forced himself to remain calm and swept the chief priest token in his hand towards the gold list. Soon, Chen Ku's new ranking was revealed.

……

Chen Ku also looked at the rewards flying towards him one after another.

First of all, the immortal weapon slipped from mid-air and hit his hand heavily.

"Good weight!"

With Chen Ku's strength, he could actually feel the weight of this immortal weapon, which was four or five times heavier than his own Sui Xin Iron Weapon. Because he had removed the Si Bu Xiang in the end, he almost couldn't catch the immortal sword and was about to be crushed by the weight and hit on his feet.

The moment you hold this magic sword.

Then he sensed a thought from the Champion Marquis in the Immortal Sword, which was calm yet somewhat sharp, and said:
"The Champion Sword, also known as the 'Shen Ce Saber', was given to me by my teacher when I came down from the mountain. Before I was twenty years old, I used it to conquer the world and compete with the heroes of Hebei without losing a single battle.

Although this sword is only a 'common immortal weapon', it is also spiritual and needs to recognize its master before it can be used freely."

"Ordinary immortal weapon?"

Chen Ku listened to the sound of the mark of the Champion Marquis from the knife, and also heard the concept of a weapon. Combined with the description of this immortal weapon by the Champion Marquis, it had a bit of the meaning of Dugu Qiubai.

"He conquered the world with it before he was twenty years old. If I remember correctly, Champion Marquis debuted at the age of sixteen, with the seventh realm of cultivation. At the age of twenty-three, he reached the thirteenth realm, which means he reached a new realm every year. If this calculation is correct, then this sword is the weapon he used before he reached the tenth realm."

He also noticed the reminder that the channel had spiritual power and needed to recognize a master before it could be used freely, and thought to himself:
"That's not a problem. I already have the evil spirit of Champion Marquis. I can even transform him into Champion Marquis. Am I still afraid that he won't recognize me?"

He immediately looked at the other rewards.

Every time I get one, I hear the voice of the champion:

[Champion Pills are a furnace of Seven Realm Elixirs given to me by Taoist Zi Yang from Purple Saint Palace when I was ordered to build the Champion Camp. Taking them can help break through barriers and consolidate the foundation. I use them to reward my soldiers.]

[The Pojun Mingguang Armor is one of the thousand sets of divine armor bestowed upon me by the imperial court when I was ordered to build the Champion Camp. When I wear it neatly, I will be invulnerable to the strong energy. I will be invincible when I charge into battle.]

"Divine weapon-level armor!"

Chen Ku looked at the armor in front of him. The armor plates were polished like pearls. There was a breastplate on the chest and back. He tapped it with his fingers, and his fingers went numb. He was overjoyed:
"It feels even harder than the Wuzao Feather Warrior's Suit!"

This is obvious.

The black and white feathered robe is described in the stone tablet of the Martial Temple as being made by a Taoist priest from a certain Taoist sect using feathers collected from cranes, spider silk and other feathers from the wings of great demons. It is soft in texture yet hard and strong, but it was made by a civilian force after all.

And this Ming Guang Armor was solidly made by the Daji royal family, and it was specially made for the Champion Battalion, the personal guards under the command of the invincible young Champion Marquis. How could it not be solid?
"This is great. Once I have that black and black feathered warrior's robe repaired, I can put on a piece of Pojun Mingguang armor inside, and it will be a perfect turtle shell."

Chen Ku thought to himself:

"I wonder if I can stand still and withstand Brother Qin's blow?"

I guess it's still a bit uncertain.

That is the strength of ten dragons and ten elephants.

But an ordinary seventh-level energy attack should not be able to break these two layers of defense.

Then look at the familiar token:

[The Champion Hundred Commander Order is the token worn by the Hundred Commanders under my command in the Champion Camp that I built under my order. It is one level higher than the tokens worn by ordinary soldiers in the Champion Camp. It is made of spiritual objects such as the Awakening Spirit Wood and the Heart-Protecting Gold. Wearing it can resist the attacks of the Seven Realms Spirits three times.]

Chen Ku was overjoyed.

"Seventh level mental attack? Upgraded?"

The last time he got an ordinary champion order, which could only withstand three mental attacks from the sixth level.

Even so, it provides a great effect.

This allowed him to catch the Sixth Realm Vacuum Patriarch off guard and kill the Sixth Realm with the Five Realms.

If there hadn't been this token at that time, it would have been hard to say who would have won.

It can be said that the three times of resisting mental attacks created many opportunities for Chen Ku and almost saved his life once or twice.

Now, I actually have such a good treasure again.

In a sense, this Champion Hundred Command Order is equivalent to a spiritual-level divine defensive armor.

At last,
Chen Ku looked at the ball of martial luck left there after the Champion Marquis' mark disappeared. It was like a golden fairy fire. He aimed the martial arts token at the ball of martial luck.

[Chen Ku, a successful candidate, received 70,000 military fortunes]

Chen Ku was surprised when he heard the sound of money coming into the account from the Golden Martial Arts Order.

at this time,
But I heard the voice of the Champion Marquis coming from the dragon horse in the distance, with a chuckle:

"Because the body you killed was originally created by this martial arts imprint of mine, integrating the vast martial luck within the martial arts world. Naturally, it provides more martial luck than other gatekeepers after their death."

"Champion Hou?"

Chen Ku looked at the figure of the young man riding a horse through the river, slightly surprised, and said:
"You're still here?"

"Of course. This martial arts mark of mine was left in this martial arts world at the request of the Qiulong Martial Temple. It was to test the successors of the Qiulong Mansion. So since the day it was left, it has been integrated with the rules of this martial arts world. What you defeated was only the body condensed by martial luck. This mark cannot be broken. Unless you also destroy this small world, my mark will disappear."

Champion Hou joked while riding on his horse:

"Otherwise, this mark of mine will continue to exist in this world, and continue to transform through martial arts to welcome the next tester."

"Will you continue to test the next person?" Chen Ku was curious: "What about the reward?"

"Haha, you are the first person to open the Yinmahe Secret Realm in more than 150 years, so half of your rewards are 'first-time' rewards. For example, the magic sword that I used when I was young is a unique reward." Champion Marquis said softly on horseback:
"After that, those who come later will only get three rewards: the Bright Light Armor, the Champion Pill, and the Champion Token, as well as a generous amount of martial luck, and that's all."

Chen Ku suddenly realized.

He bowed to the Champion Marquis again and said, "I thank the Champion Marquis for showing mercy during the trial. You clearly had the opportunity to strike with the Immortal Sword again after the Heavenly Gang Thunder Child exploded, but it was only an ordinary strike."

Guan Jun Hou shook his head and said, "If that's the case, you don't have to do that. Although I did have the strength to strike with one more blow, it has been verified before that your magic clothes and golden body can withstand most of the power for you. Another blow would at most only injure you, but you can recover through your body..."

Speaking of it.

Immediately the young man said helplessly:
"People like you who have thick skin and flesh, wear armor, have special skills, can restore vitality, and have prepared a large box of vitality-recovering pills are the most difficult to deal with. It will be useless to chop you again. At most, I can make you waste a piece of magic weapon clothing. My mark can hold out for a while, but in the end... I will still be defeated by your many tricks."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ku looked at Guan Jun Hou with some admiration.

Bow again:

"My Lord, I am grateful for your generosity."

"There's no need to say all that. This mark of mine has been there for more than 150 years, and it was only until you that it was finally defeated. This shows how disappointing the people of the Qiulong Mansion have been over the past 100 years."

Champion Hou shook his head and said:

"What a disappointment."

Chen Ku was speechless.

He couldn't help but say: "After all, there are not many peerless people like the Marquis in the world."

"not much?"

Champion Hou smiled faintly and said:
"That's because you haven't stepped out of this small place and haven't seen the true vastness of the world. Once your horizons are broadened, you will know that the phrase 'there are always people better than you' is something that runs through everyone's life. The so-called peerless figures are just comments made by a group of people with limited horizons. The world is so big, time is so long, and there are so many talented people in the past and present. No one should regard a certain title or achievement as the ultimate achievement of a lifetime."

Chen Ku was stern, and he stood up and bowed: "I will teach you."

"Well, now that you have cleared this secret realm, there is nothing here that can help you anymore."

As the young champion rode towards the setting sun, his voice came slowly:
"As for that immortal sword, it accompanied me in battle for many years. I hope you will cherish it. If you have the chance... perhaps, you can see my other marks again."

Chen Ku bowed and watched the young man leave.

He turned around and walked towards the stone tablet of the Yinmahe Secret Realm. As he got closer, he saw his ranking on the Jiuzhou Genius List. Because of his victory over Champion Hou, his ranking had been refreshed again.

[No. 615: Chen Ku, born in Qiulong Prefecture as a scholar - the most lethal person among the six realms in Youzhou]

…………

“Six hundred and fifteen!!”

All the old scholars in the Martial Temple were in disbelief, as if they were dreaming.

the reason is simple.

Before the 695th place, all of them were masters of the seventh realm.

Chen Ku's victory over Guanjun Hou directly raised his ranking above eighty-five seventh-level masters in the province!
The key is……

Everyone saw the ten-place range on the leaderboard, and the top five of Chen Ku were...

…………

"hiss!"

In the stone cave of the Great Snow Mountain, Qin Yu first looked at his ranking on the Genius List displayed on his Martial Arts Golden Order and took a breath.

Shan Lingguan next to him opened his eyes and said, "Xiao Qin? What's the matter?"

Qin Yu first looked at the name under him, took a deep breath, and said in a tone that was either complicated or emotional:
"Junior brother, you are only five places away from surpassing me on the Kyushu Genius Ranking."

Shan Lingguan's eyes widened when he heard this: "What?"

The conversation between the master and nephew was spoken subconsciously, so much so that Shangguan Yun and Yelu Xuandu next door heard it all.

At the first moment, both of them lost consciousness?
"Chen Ku? Has he entered the seventh realm of controlling the power?"

No, that's not right. Even if it's the seventh level of controlling the inner energy, there is still a huge gap between it and Qin Yuxian. There are so many people at the seventh level of controlling the inner energy, how come Qin Yuxian, who is only at the seventh level, can become the number one master of Qiulong Mansion?

"What's going on outside?"

……

Chen Ku sat cross-legged in a deep mountain in the world of martial arts.

He was not overly happy about his improved ranking on the Nine Provinces Genius List. He knew his own business. The reason why he was able to catch up with Senior Brother Qin Yuxian and only fall five places behind him was because he defeated the Champion Marquis's mark, so the rules of the martial arts world gave him such a high evaluation...

The reason why he was able to defeat Champion Hou Laoyin was because of the effect of the Tiangang Thunder Seed which contained 180,000 martial luck.

Therefore,
He knew very well that his current ranking was inflated.

However, if you want to avoid adding water, you need to really have the strength to be "worthy of the name".

buzz~
Chen Ku held the Champion Marquis's divine slashing saber in his hand, feeling that it was unwilling to be used as the support for his breakthrough, and was completely refined. He couldn't help but say:

"You will be the support for my body today. From now on, I will nurture and refine you every day. Maybe you will be able to make further progress."

buzz~
The Shen Ce saber was still trembling.

Seeing this, Chen Ku stopped talking, closed his eyes, and said:

"Champion Hou changes!" (End of this chapter)
