Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 300 - 206: Chen Ku Sets a New Record
Chen Ku and Guan Hongluan simultaneously saw which two formations were activated.
In the next moment.
Guan Hongluan, with swift hands and sharp eyes, directly stored the five-colored peacock into the storage bag.
Afterward,
accompanied by the strong light of water and wood sweeping over their figures.
Guan Hongluan and Chen Ku simultaneously vanished from the altar.
Then, atop the entire five-colored altar, three blazing and splendid lights erupted and spread out, representing the three formations of black water, green wood, and yellow earth, completely awakened.
Crash~~~
In the deep sea, a twenty-four or twenty-five-year-old man was fiercely battling countless sea snakes and giant ghosts at the moment.
Suddenly, he sensed the blue and yellow lights flashing across the sea surface.
Qu Yunfei slightly raised an eyebrow:
"Is it a martial scholar from this martial exam? Or an old martial scholar who came specifically to break the Five Elements Formation record?"
Qu Yunfei, heir of the Qu family of Qiu Dragon Mansion, had passed the martial scholar exam four years ago and is now a scholar of the Daji Dynasty, with a cultivation in the Five Realms.
In those days, the first arena he passed was this Five Elements Valley.
Now, the reason he returned here to challenge again was that the martial technique he practiced, the Great Might Heart Scripture, had reached a bottleneck. He needed to break any record of the Five Elements Valley formations to receive the reward of the ’Breakthrough Pill’ granted by the Martial Temple, which would greatly enhance his chance of breakthrough.
The Breakthrough Pill, a heaven-defying pill that greatly increases the probability of a breakthrough when consumed at a bottleneck.
For Qu Yunfei, if he could successfully refresh any record of the Five Elements Valley, not only would he become a record holder of one of the formations, signifying immense honor, but it would also mean he could successfully step into the Sixth Realm!
Thinking of this, Qu Yunfei glanced at the ocean floor’s gigantic stele emitting golden light, with three enormous names on it, representing the top three swiftest to pass the Water Formation.
Lv Changhong, Qu Yunfei, Qin Zongbao.
He ranked second.
This time, he entered with the aim of challenging Lv Changhong’s record.
This young master from the Changhong Sword Sect not only held the record for the fastest through the Water Formation but also held records in the Fire, Gold, and Earth formations.
The reason being none other than his pure strength, with his mastery of the ’Changhong Sword Technique,’ a single sword breaking all techniques.
...
Yellow wind billowed, with flying sand and rolling stones.
After being swept by a yellowish light, Chen Ku opened his eyes to find himself in a locale of rolling yellow sand, resembling a mountainous desert.
In the distant mountains, about a thousand lengths away, were three gigantic names.
Lv Changhong!
Qu Yunfei!
Chu Yanran!
Chen Ku operated his eye power to examine more closely, clearly seeing behind each name a series of time units, namely three drums and nine gongs, four drums and twelve gongs, and four drums and eighteen gongs.
"Drum and gong?"
Just as Chen Ku was puzzled, a drum sound suddenly reverberated from the yellow sand ridges.
Dong!
Following that, copper gongs sounded "dang dang"...
A breath every three sounds.
As Chen Ku reacted, beneath the sand ridges emerged one giant worm after another.
[There are sand snakes intending harm towards the Diagram Master...subdue them to obtain Evil Qi...]
...
Whoosh whoosh!
In almost an instant, this reminder surged in Chen Ku’s mind hundreds of times.
Just like the last time with the red-tailed bees.
No need to elaborate.
Chen Ku squinted at the front desert, immediately spotting black lines emerging on the desert surface, surging towards him like waves!
"It seems this is the test of the Earth Element Formation! Countless sand snakes?"
Dang!
The gong ringed two more times.
Feeling the time constraint, Chen Ku had no hesitation, choosing to escape into the sandy earth, transforming into a Hui Dragon, and charged at the unending sand snakes.
Beneath the sand, it wasn’t long before Chen Ku saw the endless sand snakes closing in on him, but faced with Chen Ku’s Five Elements Body and Vajra Body, these sand snakes couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
Instead, underneath the sand, almost every swing of Chen Ku’s dragon body and tail, like transforming into a divine weapon dozens of lengths long, the sand snakes brushed against him and died, and collided with him and perished...
In his mind, the reminder of the Transformation Diagram’s Evil Qi rewards constantly refreshed.
At the same time, the information on the Martial Arts Gold Order also updated:
[Sand snake casualties have reached thirty percent...forty percent...fifty percent...]
What does it mean?
Chen Ku pondered if it meant the number of sand snake deaths needed to reach a certain threshold as part of the passing criteria?
However,
at this time, faced with the seemingly indestructible earth dragon, the countless sand snakes, not entirely devoid of intelligence, felt fear after nearly half of them perished and began to flee scattering around.
Having almost figured out the true goal of this trial, how could Chen Ku let them escape?
Underground, with the Hui Dragon’s Earth Escape and the Five-colored Peacock’s Earth Spirit Body, Chen Ku moved just as easily as on land, and with the Hundred Li Tracking Technique, it was a unilateral slaughter...
As the outside drumbeat approached the second drum point.
[Sand snake casualties have reached seventy percent, triggering the Sand Snake King awakening condition...]
Rumble!
Chen Ku suddenly sensed a colossal creature about to burst forth from the depths of the earth.
[A sand snake king harbors ill-will towards the master, subduing it will yield one trail of Five Realms Evil Qi...]
"Another demon of the Five Realms?"
No further reminder from the Transformation Diagram was needed, Chen Ku immediately moved towards the earth’s layer, opening a great maw to attack the Sand Snake King preparing to break through the surface.
As the distance closed, the gonging sounds accelerated.
The image of the Sand Snake King emerged before Chen Ku, clearly a massive snake over a dozen lengths long, with wing membranes on its neck, vibrating fiercely, it also noticed the earthy-yellow giant dragon rushing towards it.
This Sand Snake King, ordinarily invincible within the Earth Element Formation, in this moment, witnessing Chen Ku’s Hui Dragon transformation, its pupils contracted sharply, its entire body started to tremble.
Being a snake, it felt the Dragon Energy from Chen Ku’s Qiu Dragon body!
Roar!
It hissed in fear, instinctively opening its mouth towards Chen Ku, spewing forth an astral spear of sand under the earth!
Clang!
However, Chen Ku directly collided head-on, smashing the earth spear to pieces, then opened his dragon claws, firmly pinning the Sand Snake King beneath the soil, coiling around its body.
Roar!
The Sand Snake King felt the dragon might from Chen Ku closely, its scales trembling all over, its entire strength sharply dwindled.
Chen Ku then unleashed all the Four Dragon Power from his body, tightening around the Sand Snake King’s body, opening his dragon head, and fiercely biting off the Sand Snake King’s head!
Dong!!!!
Virtually at the moment he bit off the Sand Snake King’s head, the third drumbeat within Yellow Sand Ridge resonated, shaking the entire Yellow Sand Ridge realm.
The next moment.
On the Five Elements Valley altar outside, the earthy yellow light surged intensely, suddenly shooting skyward, transforming into a golden beam piercing through the heavenly dome.
Instantly, inspectors within the Martial Temple all glanced at their respective Golden Tokens.
The next moment.
A voice within the Golden Token reverberated from the Martial Temple, spreading beyond the realms of the Martial Temple, and even onto the ’Gold List’ in any Martial Temple within the Daji Dynasty’s Qiu Dragon Mansion.
[Candidate from Baojiao County, Chen Ku, has passed the Five Elements Valley arena, defeated the ’Sand Bug King’, and is awarded a pair of Famous Weapon-level ’Black Gold Arm Guards.’]
Almost immediately following this announcement to the world,
came a more stunning message.
[Candidate from Baojiao County, Chen Ku, has broken the Five Elements Valley—Yellow Sand Ridge clearance record, successfully created an unprecedented new record ’Three Drums Pass’, becoming the first record-breaking candidate this year!]
At this moment, within the Martial Temple realm, an announcement was broadcast.
The Golden Lists in the Martial Temples of each county of the Qiu Dragon Mansion also broadcast the announcement.
Everyone, whether familiar with Chen Ku or not, remembered this name at this instant.
