Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

In Longyuan Province, which has a population of 1.3 billion and more than 300,000 martial arts geniuses, who can rank first among such a huge number of geniuses?

"His name is Hua Yuexian."

When Tang Lie mentioned this name, he also praised it and said:
"The number one genius in Longyuan Province has now successfully entered the holy land of 'Fighting God Palace'. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the number one genius in Longyuan in the past thousand years."

Chen Ku was surprised when he heard this: "The greatest genius in a thousand years? Even more talented than the Champion Marquis?"

So far, the most talented person he has heard of and seen is undoubtedly the young champion marquis who debuted at the age of sixteen and already had the seventh level of cultivation, and accompanied the great Ji Taizu in expanding the territory.

"The Champion Marquis is not from Longyuan Province."

Tang Lie said:

"However, some people do say that Hua Yuexian's talent is slightly higher than that of Guanjun Hou, because Guanjun Hou comes from a military background, while Hua Yuexian is focused on martial arts training. The two have different focuses, and there was evidence of this back then."

"Oh?" Chen Ku was curious: "What evidence?"

"More than 150 years ago, Champion Marquis had a duel with the previous generation's number one fighter of the Fighting God Palace. One won and one lost. Champion Marquis won on the battlefield, while the number one fighter of the Fighting God Palace won in the martial arts duel."

Tang Lie said:

"And the number one person in the previous generation of the Fighting God Palace is now Hua Yuexian's master and the current headmaster of the Fighting God Palace."

Chen Ku breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

There are so many geniuses in this world. I thought that Champion Hou was the pinnacle of genius, but I didn't expect that there would be a character who could be compared with that Champion Hou.

On second thought, it seems understandable that there are a few rare legendary geniuses among a population of 1.3 billion.

"What are the qualifications of the Champion Marquis and the Hua Yuexian?"

Chen Ku secretly calculated:

"I now have the talent of a dragon, which can be called a super-quality talent. This Huayue Immortal is more than 900 ranks higher than me. You can imagine how much higher his talent and understanding are than mine. But I don't know how it compares with my next step of the talent of a dragon? How does it compare with the talent of the resurrection stone egg that the hero king prepared for himself?"

The stone egg that is currently staying in his own Xia Wang Realm is known as a 'holy body'. It is blessed by nature and absorbs the essence of heaven and earth to grow. Once born, it has the strength of the eleventh realm and is expected to become a fourteenth realm martial saint.

This thought is over.

Chen Ku remembered his ranking on the Kyushu Genius List, then stood up and said to Tang Lie:

"Thanks to Master Tang's guidance today, Chen Ku will go down to prepare for the martial arts exam. When I complete my achievements, I will come back to thank Master Tang."

"Be careful. If you need anything, feel free to contact me." Tang Lie warned.

Chen Ku nodded, bowed again, and left the Tang Mansion.

Walked out of Xicheng District and returned to Dongcheng District.

He returned to his home and began to sit cross-legged on the kang, preparing to become a martial arts examiner.

"A bandit den of more than a thousand people, a leader of the sixth realm, and two subordinates at the peak of the fifth realm."

He was thinking:

"Killing the three bandit leaders is not difficult, but the more than a thousand bandits are difficult. I can't kill them all by myself. I will be exhausted and I won't have the strength to hold out for that long."

Chen Ku looked at the changing diagram and made preparations for war.

"There are seven transformation diagrams. The Fire Mouth Kettle will be used as the next change to supply elixirs and cannot be removed. Erlang needs to be responsible for contacting the Three Emperors Patriarch Association while I am in Sanlong Mountain and act as the 'Seventh Realm Alchemist'. The Five-Colored Peacock cannot be moved either. There are only four transformation diagrams left that can be adjusted."

Looking at the first four change pictures:

"The Jiaolong and Sibuxiang guarantee my Six Dragon Power and are irreplaceable. The Five Elements Peacock guarantees the operation of my body. As for the remaining two changes, the Zhenkong Patriarch's Spiritual Grasping is still useful when fighting alone, but it will be useless if we are surrounded. I'd better bring the Lightning God Step..."

"The Lightning Step can only last for ten breaths at a time. We have to find a way to extend it."

Chen Ku then turned his gaze towards the black smoke beast in the demon-summoning banner.

"We have to kill this black smoke beast, and then kill the nine-headed six-level demon, and transform it into a transformation level to use it to sustain the lightning god step. Only in this way can we ensure that even if we are trapped, we can still escape."

Changes prior to departure have been finalized.

Chen Ku shrank his body and entered the realm of the King of Heroes, releasing the six realms of demons in the demon-summoning banner one by one.

He picked out these nine sixth-level demons because either their abilities were inferior to some of his own changes, or they simply had the sixth-level demonic power and no magical talents.

In Chen Ku's opinion, he was born to be used as 'dog food' and fed to other outstanding demons to transform into evil spirits.

After being lured by the old trick, all the nine-headed demons became hostile to him, and Chen Ku began to take action. With his current realm and cultivation, as long as he was not besieged, he could fight them one by one without any pressure at all.

After all, he is a demon of the sixth realm. The skin, flesh, bones and demon meat on his body are all excellent tonics, containing vast amounts of essence.

Therefore, Chen Ku did not use violent stick techniques, as that would only blow up the materials, which would be a waste.

He chose to transform the golden stick into a long sword, and at the same time used the sword technique of "Subduing the Dragon and Refining the Divine Sword" to start killing with precision.

Roar!
Along with this, demons from the six realms were released one after another.

What greeted them was nothing but Chen Ku's extremely fast swordsmanship combined with the peerless martial arts level of the Subduing Dragon Refining Sword, with the sword light flashing like a bright river of snow.

In less than half a cup of tea, the square in front of the Tuoshan Temple was filled with corpses of demons, some with deer heads, some with wolf claws, and some with scales all over their bodies...

The air in this originally quiet and peaceful hall was filled with the stench of blood.

However, Chen Ku could not help but be reminded of his past experience working in the butcher's yard of Yaowang Hall. He thought to himself:

"After I get the demon-summoning banner, I estimate that the area in front of the Tuoshan Palace will become my second 'Slaughterhouse'."

The only trouble is.

When he killed demons in the Tujie Temple and obtained evil spirits, he didn't need to consider the source of the demons.

now……

However, it is necessary to take the demon-summoning banner out frequently to replenish the demon source.

[The owner of the picture killed the long-armed tusk ape and obtained a sixth-level evil spirit]

This is the ninth sixth-level demon.

Looking at the nine sixth-level evil spirits that were already lying quietly in the changing diagram.

Everything is ready.

Chen Ku finally released his real target, the black smoke beast whose speed was comparable to his Lightning Steps.

Woohoo~~
As he unfolded the demon-summoning banner in front of the hall, a green tadpole pattern wrapped around a demon appeared in front of the hall.

Herod
This one-horned black smoke beast that looked like both a horse and a lion had already gotten used to the environment inside the Demon-summoning Banner. Now that it was suddenly released, it subconsciously made the neighing sound of Herod's horse.

Tap~
The four hooves kept stamping on the spot, but after looking at Chen Ku, they fled into the distance without hesitation. In the blink of an eye, they turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared without a trace!
"Want to go?"

Chen smiled bitterly.

Why should the slaughtering scene be arranged in the Xia Wang Realm? Isn't it because the Xia Wang Realm contains the Eight Gates Shocking God Formation that he can control?
"The sky covers! The earth carries!" As Chen Ku took lightning steps and communicated with the support stone of the Xia Wang Realm through his mind, two of the eight gate formations that were originally running around the leader of Ping An Dao were summoned by Chen Ku in an instant, and they pressed down on the black smoke beast that was running wildly in the distance.

The sky is covered with formations, and the sky is pressing down infinitely.

The ground-carrying formation made it so that no matter how the black smoke beast ran, it could never run out of the range of the ground-carrying formation!
"Seven Stars Descending Dragon!"

Chen Ku saw that the one-horned black smoke beast seemed to be trapped on the 'earth treadmill', running wildly on the spot but unable to move forward. The beast, holding a long sword, turned into a long rainbow of thunder and suddenly crossed a distance of a thousand meters!
The energy of the Dragon Subduing Sword tore through the sky.

The image of Chen Ku after the knife was reflected in the eyes of the unicorn black smoke beast, with fear in its eyes.

However, the natural speed is limited...

In front of Chen Ku, it no longer had any advantage. As the knife pierced through its body, the four hooves of the one-horned black smoke beast suddenly stood up.

In the shadow on the floor, the unicorn's head was suddenly chopped off.

[The master of the picture killed the one-horned black smoke beast and obtained a sixth-level evil spirit]

Chen Ku stood there with a knife in hand, and hung the unicorn black smoke beast on the seventh transformation diagram, saying:

"Consume the evil spirits of the nine realms of the sixth realm! Practice the transformation of the one-horned black smoke beast!"

[The unicorn smoke beast transforms! Changes its shape! 】

[Injecting the Nine Paths and Six Realms of Evil Qi, the One-Horned Black Smoke Beast Transformation has been successfully cultivated to the 'Transformation' level. ]

Chen Ku immediately looked at the panel of the unicorn black smoke beast.

He was very curious about how the One-horned Black Smoke Beast could maintain such a speed for a long time while having a speed that was not inferior to that of Lightning Step.
[Unicorn Smoke Beast Transformation]

[One-horned Black Smoke Beast, descendant of an ancient mythical beast, with a horse head and a lion mane, extremely fast as a god]

[Abilities: Six-level demonic power, black smoke, black smoke blood, horn like a spear, hooves like fine steel...]

Chen Ku's heart moved.

He immediately transformed into a one-horned black smoke beast, and immediately understood the reason for the one-horned black smoke beast's super speed. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"It turns out that the speed of this Black Smoke Beast comes from its 'Black Smoke Qi' and 'Black Smoke Blood'. The two work together. The Black Smoke Qi can make it as fast as lightning, and the Black Smoke Blood can absorb the temperature and pressure generated by its body when running at high speed, playing a role similar to 'cooling down' and 'relieving pressure'."

He had a thought in his mind.

After changing back into human form, he wanted to try out what the effect would be if he could use the Lightning Steps on top of the Black Smoke Beast's incredible speed.
He lifted his footsteps slightly.

Swish!
A red mist wrapped in blue lightning instantly left a trail on the ground.

"Within one breath, the speed is at least twice as fast as before..."

But just when Chen Ku was overjoyed.

However, he felt that the Yuanluo silver armor on his body was like a red-hot iron. Although he had the ability to resist fire and could remain unscathed even if he was covered with the iron, this top-grade famous soldier-level inner armor seemed to be deformed by the high-temperature friction in the air.

Chen Ku stopped immediately.

However, he discovered that the silver chain mail on his chest had melted into round chess pieces at the edges of the scales. He felt very distressed and said:
"The Yuanluo Silver Light Armor, I didn't expect that it would not be broken by the enemy's attack, but would be melted because it could not withstand the high temperature under the extremely fast movement..."

He sighed in his heart and said:
"Sure enough, my guess was right. With the physique of the Black Smoke Beast, my speed can be doubled again. Moreover, I no longer have to worry about the problem that the Lightning Speed ​​can only be maintained for ten breaths. It seems that as long as I have enough physical strength, I can use it anytime and anywhere. I can run for a whole day without any problem. But... a new problem has also arisen. I lack a higher-level 'armor' to support a full burst of speed of more than double. Otherwise... I have to be naked!"

Swish!
He once again used the Lightning Steps developed under the Black Smoke Beast's physique, and this time controlled the speed to one kilometer per breath, or two miles.

Chen Ku began to run around the entire Xia Wang world.

Sure enough, at this speed, the Yuanluo Silver Armor can withstand it.

However, as Chen Ku continued to run around the various halls in the Xia Wang Realm, after a quarter of an hour, waves of white eyes appeared on his body, and the Yuanluo silver armor turned red again.

Chen Ku stopped where he was, with smoke-like steam rising from his entire body, panting:
"I've verified that when I wear the armor, I can only burst out at full speed for a quarter of an hour at most, otherwise the armor will be burned... Alas, the armor is too low-grade. I'm afraid only a divine weapon-grade armor can allow me to fully exert my full speed!"

Although he said so, Chen Ku thought to himself:

"Although I cannot use my full speed due to my armor, even under the current conditions, I can maintain the Lightning Step for a quarter of an hour. I can be called the 'number one light skill master in Qiulong Mansion'. No one should have any problem with that."

He felt that even a seventh level expert could not catch up with him now.

It is also easy to verify this.

Chen Ku looked at Xu En, the leader of Ping An Dao, who was trapped in the Eight Gates Shocking Array.

Logically speaking, the speed of the soul should be faster than that of the physical body.

The other party is definitely a master of the seventh realm.

……

Call ~
Xu En seemed to have figured out some ways to avoid the Eight Gates Shocking God Formation, and it was no longer difficult for him to do so.

Unexpectedly.

Just after he dodged a dragon claw hand from the Long Fei Formation, suddenly, a strong sense of warning arose in his heart!

却，
He didn't even have time to think much.

boom!
His soul and body had already been hit by Chen Ku's palm.

"what!"

Chen Ku was so fast that even Xu En, a seventh-level soul, could hardly see Chen Ku's figure, and was directly slapped away by a palm.

Before he could stand firm.

Another black smoke and lightning came whistling. This time, even though Xu En didn't see it clearly, he could still feel two white lights spewing out from the black smoke and lightning.

Isn’t this the same magical power of blowing air that killed Piao Gao before!
"Nine Heavens Divine Mantra! Three Treasures Umbrella!"

Xu En was chanting a spell anxiously on the spot, when suddenly, the three colorful halos behind him changed and turned into a three-colored treasure umbrella.

boom!
It was like a turtle shell that blocked Chen Ku's magical power of blowing air to transform into a dragon.

"It's you. It's only been a short while, and you want to kill me? You don't know how high the heaven is or how deep the earth is!"

Xu En was not surprised but angry. After blocking Chen Ku's attack, he used the "Huang Tian Shooting Method" again without hesitation.

"Nine Heavens Gods, come and protect me. I will fight a thousand battles and win a thousand victories. I will shoot a thousand arrows and win a thousand souls ...

The three-colored umbrella changed again and turned into a small bow, which directly shot out a colorful arrow!
Xu En was very happy.

This Huang Tian shooting method is specifically aimed at the soul. Once it hits, even the soul of the seventh realm will be shattered.

Unexpectedly...

As he shot the arrow, Chen Ku, who was in the black smoke and lightning, was able to pull four or five miles away from the arrow with just a thought. (End of this chapter)
