Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 440 - 287: The Number One Prodigy
Whistling past.
At the moment Chen Ku transformed the Willful Weapon into a great bow and shot the Sky Gang Thunder in front of the momentarily immobilized Champion Marquis.
First, there was a brief and eerie silence between heaven and earth.
In the silence, Chen Ku could only hear his own breathing.
But it was just a moment.
His eyes were completely captivated by the unmatched radiant light burst from the Sky Gang Thunder hitting the Champion Marquis.
Light!
Light!
Extremely dazzling silvery-white light, as if a sun suddenly descended into the Drinking Horse River Secret Realm.
Boom!
At the moment of seeing the light, what followed was the terrifying ’boom’ that changed the colors of heaven and earth, as if a meteor exploded in mid-air.
"Hiss!"
Chen Ku instinctively shielded his eyes from the strong light, immediately feeling a terrifying explosion that roared through the light like the wrath of heaven, accompanied by a terrible blast wave that raged madly.
Crackle!!
Even standing hundreds of meters away, he was still battered by the hurricane that hit like ocean waves, causing his clothes to crackle, and his body tossed backward as if struck by a huge dragon.
"This is the power of the Sky Gang Thunder!"
Even though Chen Ku had already known from its description when he bought it that its power was formed by condensed heavenly thunder, once unleashed, it was comparable to heaven’s might, naturally restraining divine souls and Yin Gods, a single Sky Gang Thunder could explode and kill a Seventh Realm great divine soul expert.
That’s because the Sky Gang Thunder was filled with the most terrifying Yang Gang thought in the world, the nemesis of Yin souls.
Even setting aside the natural heavenly Yang Gang thought, the terrifying thunder energy contained within, once exploded, was enough to instantly tear through any Seventh Realm expert’s defenses at the center of the explosion, even potentially killing a Seventh Realm expert.
"Did it work? Defeated?"
Chen Ku was blown away by the whirlwind created by the Sky Gang Thunder exchanged with eighteen thousand Martial Destiny, flying hundreds of meters like a scarecrow before stopping, with no time to tidy his disheveled hair, anxiously using his eye power to try to see clearly the reality behind that intense light.
But the thunder energy inside was too violent, not subsiding for a moment.
Even with his eye power that could look directly at the sun, it was hard to see through at this moment.
With such anticipation...
Three breaths passed.
"No way!"
A bad thought floated in Chen Ku’s mind.
If it succeeded in defeating, not to mention the Transformation Diagram’s prompt, the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth would also show his clearance...
Just as his thoughts were shaking within his heart.
Boom~~
The thunder light that spread around suddenly accelerated to disperse and slowly revealed the area bombed by the Sky Gang Thunder. In mid-air, a figure glanced sideways, spinning and slashing with a blade at Chen Ku!
It was surprisingly the Champion Marquis, his body already riddled with holes, with gaps at his chest, arms, thighs, and even head, yet no blood or flesh spilled out as he wasn’t a living person, but a Martial Arts Mark.
Nevertheless, he resisted the Sky Gang Thunder and continued slashing at Chen Ku with his broken mark body!
With one slash!
Accompanied by the remnant body of the Champion Marquis, the universe was moved.
"Hmm?"
Chen Ku was first shocked that the Champion Marquis hadn’t been killed by the Sky Gang Thunder, such violent attack, though he silently accepted this fact. If one Sky Gang Thunder could puncture the Drinking Horse River Secret Realm, there would be no challenge in this trial.
Clang!
He reacted quickly, and immediately blocked with a staff.
At the moment of the staff meeting the blade.
Boom!
Air currents from all directions were once again blown and gale into the distance!
"...Although it didn’t kill, the power of the Sky Gang Thunder was extreme, it definitely exploded the Champion Marquis’s protective Inner Gang."
Chen Ku immediately felt the Champion Marquis’s strength and Gang Qi in that slash.
"It seems, the final blow will decide the victory."
Bang!
The immense power still present on Chen Ku’s body swung up and slammed the slashed remnant Champion Marquis back.
Directing the staff straight at the Champion Marquis.
Thud!
The Champion Marquis’s body landed ten meters away, with broken eyes reflecting the calm resolve in Chen Ku’s eyes, as if understanding something.
The next moment,
Whizz~Whizz~Whizz~
Beside Chen Ku, three more figures appeared, also pointing their staffs slantingly at him.
"Plucking Hair to Make Soldiers, Ancient Divine Abilities."
The Champion Marquis suddenly laughed, the laughter containing a hint of relief.
"Attack!"
Chen Ku shouted coldly, this divine ability kept hidden till now, enough to manifest fourfold combat strength, was finally unleashed, to completely defeat the Champion Marquis, whose Inner Gang had already been broken, within the last three breaths.
Whush!
Chen Ku leapt high, while the other three incarnations simultaneously jumped from their spots, all wielding the same Willful Weapon, transforming into four hundred-meter long staffs, smashing down from four directions onto the Champion Marquis’s top!
In this process.
Fearing the Champion Marquis still had the power left to use his Immortal Blade, Chen Ku held nothing back, with the three incarnations also emitting eight beams of Snot White Light from his nose, battering the already shattered body together with the four hundred-meter long staffs.
Boom!!
When the eight Snot White Lights first smashed onto the Champion Marquis, who was just about to raise his Immortal Blade to block, paused again, and then...
Firmly hit by the Snot Divine Power.
In an instant, the entire remnant body appeared to shadow, as if multiple intents and thoughts were struck out.
At the moment when the will and thoughts of the Champion Marquis within the remnant body imprint were blasted out from it, he raised his head to look at the four fiery sticks that seemed to support the heavens from the north, south, east, and west, fiercely swinging towards him.
His lips curled up:
"Finally, this day has come."
Bang!
When the four sticks simultaneously smashed onto the remnant body of the Champion Marquis, the initial feeling Chen Ku received was...
It hit!
And indeed, there was no longer any protective Gang Qi.
Therefore.
The result was,
Boom!
Under the full force of what equaled four Chen Ku’s power, the body of the Champion Marquis exploded suddenly, transforming into a mass of golden Martial Destiny on the spot.
[Diagram Master suppressed and killed the Champion Marquis imprint, obtaining a trace of Seventh Realm Evil Qi]
Although the Champion Marquis was testing Chen Ku with the purpose of examination, he didn’t hold back, which naturally led to the emergence of ’Chong Sha’. Therefore, after suppressing him, Chen Ku obtained this Seventh Realm Evil Qi.
"I did it! I defeated the imprint of the Champion Marquis!"
Chen Ku was a bit dazed, but soon he was ecstatically watching the Seventh Realm Evil Qi being retracted towards his Transformation Diagram.
The meteor of the Daji Dynasty, the legendary youth.
Although it’s just a Seventh Realm imprint, from the difficult encounters Chen Ku experienced, one can tell how challenging the Champion Marquis represented by this imprint was.
Now, with this Seventh Realm Evil Qi from the Champion Marquis imprint.
It means that as long as Chen Ku makes a trip to Fire Beak Mountain and collects enough Seventh Realm Evil Qi, he can completely restore the combat power of the Champion Marquis at Drinking Horse River, even allowing for an additional incarnation of the Champion Marquis!
At the very moment he was retrieving the Champion Marquis Evil Qi in his Transformation Diagram.
Boom!
A ray of golden light shot straight from the Drinking Horse River Secret Realm into the sky, shaking the entire Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, spreading the rules’ Heavenly Sound throughout:
[Scholar Chen Ku, successfully passed the Drinking Horse River Secret Realm, defeating the Gatekeeper ’Champion Marquis Yang Shou’.
Martial Temple Rewards:
One Champion Hundred Commander Token,
One Champion Immortal Saber (must be recognized)
Champion Pill (Seventh Realm Breakthrough Pill)
Breaking Army Bright Armor (Divine Weapon)]
The rules’ Heavenly Sound from within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, at this moment, was broadcast across the entire realm, causing everyone in any location within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth to look up at the ray of golden light that soared into the sky, listening to the battle report spreading across the realm.
On a certain cliff, Lv Changhong, Gu Chuanjia, and others all lost their voices:
"He fought from the Sixth Realm to the Seventh Realm, and it was against the imprint of the dynasty’s most legendary young talent, the Champion Marquis, and he defeated it!"
"Chen Ku?"
"This is astounding!"
Elsewhere, martial practitioners of various sizes participating in trials within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth were all shocked and turned pale.
This news was unimaginable.
Especially for those who, over the past few days, had basically heard stories or witnessed Chen Ku clearing dozens of levels consecutively, but the concept of those levels compared to the Champion Marquis level was completely incomparable.
They could accept that Chen Ku was an invincible super talent within the Sixth Realm.
So he could sweep across all Sixth Realm levels.
But,
now this news was saying... Seventh Realm level!
And it’s the Champion Marquis level!
This could almost be said to be one of the top ten super levels within the Qiu Dragon Mansion Martial Temple, existing since the very day the Qiu Dragon Martial Temple was established, with a history of over one hundred and fifty years...
It can be compared to the difficulty of those ’ancient’ levels left from ancient, medieval times, previous dynasties in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.
The Martial Temple was born in ancient times, continually inheriting, with each dynasty managing it. The Daji Dynasty inherited the Martial Temple and simultaneously inherited the arrangements of previous dynasties in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, so not only are there levels laid out by Zhao Shenyang and others within the Qiu Dragon Martial Temple, but many were unearthed from ancient ruins and still used for trials, known as ’ancient levels’.
For instance, the ancient Jiao Hou that Chen Ku defeated before was a relic excavated from some space ruins in Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, later supplemented into today’s levels.
Some were even extremely envious of the rewards Chen Ku received for clearing the level:
"Immortal Weapon Immortal Blade? And a piece of Divine Weapon Level Armor? Breaking Army Bright Armor, that seems to have been standard equipment for the Champion Marquis’s regiment of a thousand ’Champion Camp’? Divine Weapon Level Armor! Within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, when counting the casting materials, a set is priced at least three to four hundred thousand Martial Destinies!"
"The rewards for clearing the Champion Marquis level are incredible!"
While everyone within Martial Arts Heaven and Earth was in disbelief and awe.
Within the Martial Temple.
The older scholars were already celebrating wildly.
"Passed!"
Tang Lie reacted the most intensely, his face flushed red, almost shouting:
"He passed, he defeated the imprint of the Champion Marquis!"
Other older scholars who initially had various reactions, at this moment, all shifted to the same excitement and ecstasy, an honor shared with pride.
"One hundred fifty-six years! From the day the Qiu Dragon Martial Temple was established, the Martial Arts Imprint of the Champion Marquis has weighed on the heads of all the talents in Qiu Dragon Mansion, until today..."
"It can be said that our Qiu Dragon Mansion finally has someone who defeated this imprint!"
"This means that Chen Ku... this young man, from today onwards, will be the greatest talent in Qiu Dragon Mansion since its founding!"
All the older scholars understood what this meant.
Especially since Chen Ku, with just Sixth Realm cultivation, defeated the Champion Marquis wielding an Immortal Saber, even if they all knew how Chen Ku did it, that the Sky Gang Thunder costing eighteen thousand Martial Destinies played a decisive role.
But only Chen Ku with that Sky Gang Thunder could accomplish it.
Others, even if they possessed the Sky Gang Thunder, when faced with a Seventh Realm Champion Marquis wielding an Immortal Saber, it was uncertain whether they could even deploy the Sky Gang Thunder.
"Quick, head priest, quickly check, after Chen Ku defeated the Champion Marquis, how much has his position increased on the Nine Provinces Genius List?"
"Yes, yes, a Sixth Realm facing off against a Seventh Realm, and it’s against a Champion Marquis wielding an Immortal Saber. Where does he stand on the Genius List now?"
