Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

Everyone looked at the two words on the stone tablet in disbelief, and then looked at Chen Ku's finger:
"This……"

Even Feng Buping looked at the stone tablet in disbelief and went forward to check it out.

The hardness of this lapis lazuli is even harder than the weapons made by Wu Chensha. Everyone who left words on it relied on weapons and internal energy...

If you really want to leave a mark, at least you have to be a famous soldier to do it.

As a result, Chen Ku used only one finger to carve his name three inches deep on it.

"Are his fingers harder than those of famous soldiers?"

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

At this moment, even with Guan Hongluan's family background and erudition, she could not tell how Chen Ku managed to "carve words on the stone" with his fingers.

Dugu Wuer and Pei Qingzhi both had slightly changed expressions.

No matter how powerful their methods are, they have to admit that their bodies are still flesh and blood, and they can only exert most of their strength with the help of weapons.

It is absolutely impossible to do what Chen Ku did, to carve the words on the stone with just one finger.

All the geniuses from all over Qiulong who were standing in front of the Martial Temple were stunned and couldn't believe what they saw.

Even they had to admit that Chen Ku's move almost broke their cognition.

Not to mention Dugu Wuer, Guan Hongluan and Pei Qingzhi, they can't do this.

No matter how high the cultivation level is, the senior can't do it.

How can fingers, made of flesh and blood, carve words so deeply on a stone that is harder than iron?

"Brother Chen, what a great trick!"

At this moment, Guan Hongluan was filled with respect for Chen Ku, and finally understood why Dugu Wuer's sword was wary of Chen Ku:
"Your finger skills are truly unrivaled in the world."

far away.

Shan Lingguan looked at this scene and was pleasantly surprised:

"Okay, okay, this kid really succeeded in cultivating the Lihuo Body in less than a month. However... even if it is the Lihuo Body, if he wants to leave words on this lapis lazuli tablet, he must at least show the appearance of the body, mobilize the Lihuo Qi, turn his fingers into magma, and then stimulate the Lihuo Qi to melt gold and iron. But... I don't think he showed the appearance of the body just now. How did he do this? Could it be that he can hide the appearance of the Lihuo Body to the point of 'returning to nature' in just one month?"

Shan Lingguan guessed wrong.

Chen Ku did make use of the Lihuo Body, but he did not rely solely on it to accomplish all of this.

After his body had undergone many changes, its strength had already reached an incredible level, not to mention his impenetrable skin, his iron vest, and his 'Vajra Body' that was unharmed by metal.

Just the 'Blood Knife Finger' transformed from the Blood Knife, when integrated into the finger bones, has already become an extremely sharp weapon.

If combined with his Lihuo Kung Fu and the power of the four dragons.

Not to mention carving words on lapis lazuli with your fingers, even if you stand there and hit the stone with your head, you can knock a big hole in it.

Chen Ku listened to Guan Hongluan's praise and said nothing more. He looked at the three people:

"I can't learn the methods you three have used."

The words engraved on the stone are meant to show off one's talents and test one's skills. It is normal that there are many different kinds of words.

"Very good. The three of you are masters who I can give my all to. This trip to Baojiao County was not in vain."

A fierce look appeared on Dugu Wuer's face:
"Come into the hall. Since this is a martial arts test, there must be some hand-to-hand combat."

"Forget it."

Guan Hongluan put the knife into her bag and said with a smile:
"I didn't come here to compete with you. Fighting and killing is not good."

Dugu Wuer frowned.

But only Chen Ku knew that the little princess's goal was to go to the "Martial Arts World" after the martial arts exam. She wanted to go there to get the "Nine Yang True Pill" that would help her cultivation.

Chen Ku had the same thought.

He has no grudges against these people. There are twenty places for martial artists, and there is no ranking. He just needs to get them. What does it matter if he beats everyone? He won't get any reward.

Then he slowly walked into the hall.

The moment he entered the hall, he heard the voice of Qin Fang, the master of divine fists:
"The first level tests your skills, and the second level tests your strength. Have you seen the big stone lions in the worship hall? These are what my master brought from the Qiulong Martial Arts Association. Each stone lion weighs 50,000 jin, so two of them weigh 100,000 jin. If someone can carry one of them from here to the second hall, a total of 500 steps, then you can pass this level and get the 'Martial Arts Silver Token'. After the martial arts test, you can have the title of 'student of my master'. If you can carry two stone lions at the same time, you can get a 'Martial Arts Gold Token' and directly skip the third sparring test and enter the 'Martial Arts World'."

When Chen Ku and his four companions arrived here, they saw that in the second hall, there were already several geniuses trying to move the stone lions.

After trying it, many of them all turned red in the face.

Only Di Jianqing shouted and directly carried up the two stone lions. His face turned purple and veins were all over his head. He walked step by step to the door of the second hall and got a golden order.

Then, Qin Fang walked over, picked up the stone lion with both hands, and returned to the worship hall effortlessly, saying loudly: "Di Jianqing, you passed the test! I will grant you the golden order, and you can directly enter the world of martial arts."

"Di Jianqing of the Di family is said to have the strength to pull up nine elephants, but now he has lifted a stone lion weighing 100,000 jin. He must have used some secret method."

Someone nearby said in shock.

Chen Ku looked at the golden martial arts order in Di Jianqing's hand. He already had one golden martial arts order, so this second one was dispensable to him.

He looked at Guan Hongluan again, and she also had a golden martial arts order.

He probably isn't interested in this assessment.

Sure enough, Guan Hongluan picked up a stone lion and walked towards the second hall. It seemed that she just wanted to enter the final martial arts assessment world as soon as possible and was unwilling to waste any more time on the journey in between.

Chen Ku also followed suit, picked up a stone lion, and followed Guan Hongluan's footsteps.

"Hey! This guy called Chen Ku... he's quite strong!"

Pei Qingzhi could see at a glance that Chen Ku was lifting the stone lion without any effort, and he wanted to compete with Chen Ku in strength.

Unfortunately, it is not yet time to compete in martial arts in this martial arts temple.

But in order to demonstrate his divine power, he directly asked Qin Fang for a big chain, and tied up the five big stone lions together in one breath. He ran towards the second hall panting as if he was carrying a small stone mountain.

This scene fell into Chen Ku's eyes, and he once again had a direct understanding of Pei Qingzhi's strength.

"One stone lion weighs 50,000 jin, and five of them weigh 250,000 jin. With the power of two dragons and five elephants, Pei Qingzhi can still run fast... This means that his strength is at least the same as mine before I refined the Viper Dragon Incarnation. He has the power of three dragons."

Chen Ku secretly said:

"Definitely a strong enemy."

Compared with Pei Qingzhi, Dugu Wuer's method of carrying the stone was even more graceful. He threw out two swords and inserted them into the big stone lions respectively. Then he quickly swept the big stone lions with his swords like a cannonball and whizzed towards the second hall. He arrived at the second hall ahead of everyone else.

After Dugu Wuer and Pei Qingzhi arrived respectively, Chen Ku and Guan Hongluan also came to the second hall.

"Dugu Wuer! Pei Qingzhi! Grant them a gold order!" "Guan Hongluan! Chen Ku! Grant them a silver order! Pass!"

Qin Fang gave two martial arts gold orders to Dugu Wuer and Pei Qingzhi, but he looked at the five large stone lions on Pei Qingzhi's body with a different eye, thinking to himself:

"This Pei Qingzhi is born to be a disciple of a master. He is born with supernatural power and is good at using a hammer..."

He put away his thoughts and said to the four people:

"You have passed the tests of skill and strength. Now, you can go directly to the third hall to meet the master and the masters."

Here is the third martial arts hall.

Qin Yuxian and others were seen sitting on chairs, looking at Di Jianqing who was walking over, and Chen Ku and others who were coming behind, all smiling.

"Greetings, Grandmaster, and all the Lords."

Everyone bowed.

However, only Guan Hongluan moved slightly. She stood still and asked those people to stand up and bow to her:
"Meet the Princess of Hanshouhou Mansion."

After greeting each other.

Shangguan Yun looked at Guan Hongluan and Qin Yuxian with a subtle expression.

Qin Yuxian and Tan Chongrui wanted to reform, and the people whose interests were most affected were the Hanshou Marquis Mansion. As a result...

Not only did the Marquis' Mansion send the princess here, but she also came to participate in the martial arts test presided over by Qin Yuxian. What was she thinking?
A blatant declaration of power?

Qin Yuxian and Tan Chongrui didn't seem to have any other intentions. After the greeting, they didn't even look at Guan Hongluan.

Qin Yu sat in the main seat and spoke first, saying:

"In previous years, the provincial examinations in Baojiao County simply tested students' skills, strength, and actual combat. This time when I came to Baojiao County, I made an exception and changed the rules, increasing the difficulty. I estimate that the number of people who can pass the second level will not exceed 40. The reason why the difficulty of this year's provincial examinations has been increased to such a level is mainly to select talented people who are qualified to enter the world of martial arts, which is the real trial ground."

Just to engrave the words on the stone of the first level, one must be under 20 years old and be able to practice a martial art to the great perfection level. There are only two or three such geniuses in a county at most. There are only 40 to 50 such geniuses in the 18 counties of Qiulong Prefecture.

The second level tests strength, and half of it was eliminated.

Even if we add the geniuses from the capital of Qiulong Prefecture, it is estimated that there are forty people who can make it through to here, which is more than Qin Yu said.

Di Jianqing complained in his heart, thinking: "Thirty people coming here is the limit."

At this time, Tan Chongrui also said:

"Brother Qin has set up a martial arts test that is difficult enough to eliminate 90% of the eligible young men at the first level. Anyone who can carve words on a stone and lift a heavy stone to get here at the second level will be qualified to become a martial artist. But if you want to truly become a martial artist, you still have to go through the third level, which is to exchange martial arts skills."

Dugu Wuer is eager to try.

However, Tan Chongrui continued, "In previous years, the competition was nothing more than setting up twenty arenas in the Martial Temple. Anyone who could pass the first two levels of skill and strength tests would go to the arena to defend. The more successful defenses one had, the top twenty would be selected and recorded as 'Wu Sheng'. However, this time, because Baojiao County was a small county, and so many geniuses came, Grandmaster Qin specially divided the third level of competition into 'two kinds of competitions'. Those who only lifted one stone lion would stay in the Martial Temple and defend ten arenas, and would be awarded ten Wu Sheng titles. Those who lifted more than two stone lions, or those who possessed a martial arts gold order, could enter the 'Martial Arts World' to challenge the arena in the Martial Arts World. Those who attacked the most are the 'first class' of this martial arts test."

"Now, those who have the Martial Arts Golden Token can go directly to the Dacheng Hall, which will trigger the Martial Arts Temple formation and teleport you to the Martial Arts World to compete with the defenders in the Martial Arts World. If you successfully attack any of the rings, you can become a martial student. Those who don't have the Martial Arts Golden Token can stay in the Third Hall of the Martial Arts Temple and defend the ring. Those who defend the top ten rings can also become martial students."

This is considered that Qin Yu left room for those who do not have strong talents and qualifications. There are still ten places for the defending warriors for them to share.

This statement came out.

Dugu Wuer and Pei Qing subconsciously looked at Chen Ku and Guan Hongluan. These two people didn't lift more than two stone lions just now, so...

There is no way to enter the martial arts world to compete with them.

Unexpectedly.

Guan Hongluan smiled and said, "Thank you all, I will go directly to the martial arts world."

As he finished speaking, a golden martial arts token appeared in his palm.

Shangguan Yun looked at Qin Yuxian again, very curious. Wasn't Qin Yuxian responsible for this Golden Martial Arts Order? How come his political enemy, the princess of Han Shouhou Mansion, also had it?
However, Qin Yuxian's face twitched slightly.

This made Shangguan Yun certain that Qin Yuxian had no idea where Guan Hongluan's golden martial arts order came from?

On second thought...

I have to admire the great power of Han Shouhou Mansion. They were able to get an extra martial arts golden order by bypassing the examiner Qin Yuxian. Moreover, this martial arts golden order must be real and can enter the martial arts temple...

But at this time, Qin Yu knew this, but he couldn't point it out on the spot, because it was related to the power within the Martial Temple. He could even guess who was inside the Martial Temple and had secret dealings with the Han Shouhou Mansion.

Then he said coldly in his heart: "Those people are not far from death."

What Dugu Wuer and Pei Qingzhi did not expect was that Chen Ku actually took out a golden martial arts order after Guan Hongluan.

Just when a few people were about to enter the world of martial arts.

Qin Yuxian's voice came:

"There are challenge records from past dynasties on some special stages in the martial arts world. If any of you can break the record of any of them, not only will you receive a special reward from the martial arts temple, but I am also willing to accept him as my disciple. And if anyone can break more than two records, I am willing to accept him as my disciple on behalf of my master and let him become my junior brother!"

When these words were spoken, even Guan Hongluan couldn't help but turn her head.

Pei Qingzhi and others were greatly moved.

None of them wanted to break the record twice in a row. The world of martial arts is not as small as Baojiao County, nor is it as small as Qiulong Mansion. The records contained therein are those that have been there for thousands of years.

No matter how proud they are, they dare not say that they can surpass all the talented and outstanding people in history.

Only Chen Ku's heart moved, and he couldn't help but look at Grandmaster Qin Yuxian.

These words were obviously spoken to himself.

how?

Do you have such high expectations for yourself?

Or?
What record was Qin Yuxian confident he could break? What inside information did he have?
But when Chen Ku looked over.

Qin Yuxian did not respond, but closed his eyes.

then,

Out of curiosity, Chen Ku came to the hall behind the Martial Temple. Almost the moment he stepped into the hall...

Then he saw Guan Hongluan's figure in front of him, who had been directly swallowed up by the light emitted by the golden martial arts order.

And then, it was him...

After the golden light.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw green mountains and clear waters, a completely different world.

Not far away stood a stone tablet:
Qiulong Mountain - Qingyun Path (End of this chapter)
