Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 432 - 283: Sect Talent (Part 2)

"Naturally, it’s true."

Chen Ku nodded, then whispered:

"Actually, if you encounter others, you can also spread the word for me. If you can introduce a few more people to me, just have them mention your names. When I continue my trials and obtain good things, I can still give you a twenty percent discount."

"A twenty percent discount?"

A few people were intrigued.

After all, judging by the rewards Chen Ku has been claiming from his continuous trials these days, if he stays in this Martial Arts Heaven and Earth for the full fifteen days, who knows how much reward he might obtain.

Compared to the risk of going through trials yourself, where success is not guaranteed,

If you can simply purchase some desired items with ’Martial Destiny’ at a discount, it would save a lot of effort.

Twenty percent discount.

Take, for example, the Sixth Realm Breakthrough Pill, originally priced at fifty thousand Martial Destiny. With a twenty percent discount, you can save ten thousand Martial Destiny, which is enough to cover the ’fee’ for entering Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.

Such a bargain is hard to pass up.

Especially since Martial Destiny acts as a ’special currency’ within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.

As it’s a currency, it has a corresponding exchange rate in the outside world, allowing private transactions, though trading channels are limited and often occur only when there’s mutual need.

As disciples of the thirty-six Martial Associations, they have many elders and friends who, if pooled together, can still gather a considerable amount of Martial Destiny in a short time.

Originally, Guan Hongluan also planned to take this path...

"Rest assured, Brother Chen, we will stay in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth for another ten days or so, and if we encounter other trial martial artists, we will certainly spread the word for you," other individuals promised.

This matter is simply not a big deal.

Qiu Dragon Mansion has over thirty counties, with each county producing twenty Military Scholars each year; even if only the top ten receive the ’Martial Arts Gold Order’ to enter Martial Arts Heaven and Earth for trials, each year, more than three hundred new Military Scholars from various counties can enter for trials.

If you extend the timeframe back to the founding of Daji, in one hundred and fifty years, the number of eligible trialists entering Martial Arts Heaven and Earth would be enormous.

The Martial Temple had previously compiled statistics; in regular circumstances, the number of trialists within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth in Qiu Dragon Mansion per month could reach about five hundred people.

In other words.

The probability of them encountering other trialists is quite high.

After Chen Ku parted ways with the group,

He glanced at his current Martial Destiny balance, just over forty thousand points.

"Continue, buy spirit medicine!"

He spent over ten thousand Martial Destiny purchasing ten top-grade spirit medicines, ten spirit medicines, and ten top-grade treasure herbs.

He summoned the Six-Eared Macaque to start listening for news...

[Sixth Realm checkpoint Yunlan Pool, Gatekeeper...]

[Sixth Realm checkpoint Liangxi Bay, Gatekeeper...]

[Sixth Realm checkpoint...]

...

Just like that, time flew by, and ten days passed.

"Already forty-eight checkpoints!"

The old scholars within the Martial Temple were scratching their heads in disbelief.

"Is this Chen Ku a Dog Nose?"

"Still claim he’s not cheating?"

Some of the more temperate began to curse:

"Arriving at a place, without saying a word, attacking immediately – how does he know there’s a checkpoint there?"

"Yes, indeed, Main Sacrificial Officer, it’s too much!"

"If this isn’t controlled, I fear he’ll clear over a hundred checkpoints in fifteen days!"

"With all our painstaking effort setting up challenges in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, it’s challenging to create just one checkpoint in ten days to half a month; he clears it in a mere tea’s time..."

"At this rate, he’s going to sweep through all the checkpoints in this several-thousand-mile radius!"

Listening to the old scholars’ complaints.

Tang Lie felt the resentment of the crowd and, at this moment, dared not speak, his heart wry with laughter: "Could it be... he really stole the questions from somewhere? Clearing forty-eight checkpoints in ten days, I can’t even defend him."

Unexpectedly.

Just as he thought he’d nothing left to say.

"Why all the noise? Usually, you all prattle on, bored, a single checkpoint running for three years, those scholars, trial Military Scholars are idiots, dummies, unable to see through your efforts, resting in Martial Temple until your arms rust. Now what? Someone clears forty-eight checkpoints in one go, and you start speaking in reverse?"

Main Sacrificial Officer Zhao Shenyang calmly reprimanded:

"Cheating? It’s already forty-eight checkpoints, yet someone thinks he’s cheating? Each of you holds just three to five topics in your hands; who could even give him that many? Or are you suggesting it’s me providing him the answers?"

Everyone fell silent.

Indeed, only the Main Sacrificial Officer knows all the topics within the Martial Temple, yet none would think he provided the answers.

"Originally, setting topics and checkpoints within the Martial Temple was meant to test trialists; being found isn’t an issue – the ability to overcome them is what counts."

Zhao Shenyang continued solemnly:

"Clearing forty-eight checkpoints in ten days, achieving this result, whether or not he cheated is irrelevant – his ability and talent are already evident. Why don’t you look at his current rank on the Nine Provinces Genius List?"

Having said that,

He tapped the Main Sacrificial Token against the Gold List, revealing today’s ranking of Chen Ku on the Dragon Abyss Nine Provinces Genius List.

Immediately, everyone’s eyes widened.

They saw Chen Ku’s new ranking on the list after clearing forty-eight checkpoints.

[Rank 700: Chen Ku, Qiu Dragon Mansion scholar background – Sixth Realm fastest fifty checkpoint clearance]

"Seven hundred?"

Everyone stared at Chen Ku’s new rank, stunned:

"Ten days ago, he was eight hundred and sixty-four... in ten days, moved up more than two hundred ranks on the Genius List?"

"Fastest fifty checkpoint clearance in the Sixth Realm – does it count his previous first entrance into Martial Arts Heaven and Earth for the checkpoints? Indeed... adding up the two, the speed at which he cleared fifty checkpoints, around four months."

"Wait? Seven hundred?"

"Grandmaster Qin Yuxian originally ranked 609, later overtaken by someone, placed at 610, now..."

"Chen Ku is only ninety positions shy of Qin Yuxian?"

Everyone’s minds buzzed.

Qin Yuxian is not just a Grandmaster but a Seventh Realm Gang Control peak.

And by appearances, Chen Ku’s only ninety positions behind Qin Yuxian, but in reality, the Genius List is calculated from Dragon Abyss Province’s Nine States one hundred and eight mansions.

If calculated solely from Qiu Dragon Mansion...

Looking again at Zhao Shenyang’s glowing gaze at the list.

Everyone understood the implication.

In ten days, ascending from over nine hundred to seven hundred, and seemingly still holding significant potential and capacity.

This practically announces loudly to everyone present.

Chen Ku, if things continue smoothly, stepping into Dragon Abyss top five hundred is just a matter of time, with a high probability of reaching the level of the ’Dragon Abyss Hundred Outstanding.’

That,

is genuinely considered ’Talent of the Sect.’
