Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 556 - 358: The Divine Monk Emerges

The recruitment criteria for the Divine Martial Hall have been announced, incredibly strict, with three layered requirements capable of eliminating ninety-nine thousand nine hundred out of ten thousand Martial Practitioners...

Under thirty years old, above Seventh Realm cultivation, with Grandmaster-level fame preferred for admission.

These are clearly three excessively harsh bonus conditions.

It means some people who meet these three conditions can enter the Divine Martial Hall the same day.

When the newsboys of the various Jianghu tabloids shouted today’s headlines throughout the city.

Xiao Tianzuo and the Six Sons of Yan Capital had already gathered together, preparing to head outside the city to Divine Martial Mountain.

Divine Martial Mountain, before the Imperial Court established the Divine Martial Hall, was merely an unnamed mountain outside the Yan Capital, not very tall, just large in size, covering an area of several hundred miles.

After the news of the Imperial Court wanting to establish the Divine Martial Hall here appeared, in just over half a month’s time, a grand and brand new Academic Palace and mountain gate had been erected there.

It is said the Academic Palace was directly moved from the Martial Temple’s Martial Arts Heaven and Earth in the Capital, an ancient palace.

Today, the gates of Yan Capital were wide open.

Many who met the priority admission conditions all showed up.

The Six Sons of Yan Capital gathered together, looking at the people riding horses and carriages around them, each revealing a surprised expression, recognizing their backgrounds, many of them ranked far above them on the Genius List.

Not only were the Six Sons of Yan Capital discussing.

Some old Cultivators and passersby standing by the city walls also recognized many super geniuses.

"That youth riding a silver-haired Earth-Grasp Tiger, isn’t he Chu Fengwu from the Heroic List?"

"It’s really him!"

"Ranked ninety-ninth on the Genius List! Only twenty-five years old, peak Eighth Realm cultivation, Ninth Realm Fifth Heaven combat strength, an unparalleled genius of the Six Great Limits!"

The youth riding the silver-haired Earth-Grasp Tiger, adorned in gold armor and silver robes, remained unfazed by the discussions around him, calmly heading toward Divine Martial Mountain.

Even Xiao Tianzuo and others, seeing Chu Fengwu, had solemn expressions.

Xu Fanfeng sighed and said, "At the same age, he’s even a year younger than me but has already reached the ninety-ninth rank on the Genius List, deserving to be called a Hero, truly comparing people can be discouraging. I fear I will never have hope of surpassing these people in my lifetime."

Xiao Tianzuo responded seriously, "Seventh Brother need not be so, progress in Martial Arts Cultivation varies in pace, the Six-foot Golden Body you have comprehended is difficult at entry-level but can quickly advance later as a Divine Skill, giving you three to five years, you might catch up with those on the Heroic List."

Xu Fanfeng waved his hand, indicating relaxed acceptance, saying, "No need, Brother, you and I both know, those who lose on the starting line will run slower no matter how hard they chase, even if I have three to five years of cultivation, others will also be cultivating those years, unless they meet an untimely end, the gap will only widen."

As someone who had clearly experienced the gap among geniuses, Xu Fanfeng would think about surpassing those with only a slight difference, but when the gap was too large, he would feel somewhat dispirited.

Especially after a battle with Chen Ku, accepting the fact that Chen Ku was only eighteen, he became more open about this matter.

He began, "However, while I may not catch up to those in the top hundred Heroes, Brother Chen has a chance."

Xiao Tianzuo stopped advising Xu Fanfeng, knowing he hadn’t fallen into any mental dilemma, and agreed, "Indeed, of those we know, if asked who has the best chance of entering the top hundred Heroes, Qingxuan is one, an elder brother of mine is another, besides them... It must be Brother Chen Ku."

"Today is the day of recruitment for Divine Martial Hall, Brother Chen..." Helan Qing frowned beside him.

Chen Ku had not appeared yet.

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking.

People’s surprised exclamations arose nearby.

"It’s Chen Ku from Qiu Dragon Mansion!"

"He actually showed himself!"

"Truly audacious, doesn’t he know an elder from the Jiang Family has been waiting for him in the city all along?"

"This isn’t Divine Martial Mountain yet, it’s not under its protection, yet he openly appears among the crowd."

Upon hearing the voices of passersby and old Cultivators.

The six people of Xiao Tianzuo turned their heads in unison, looking at the black-clothed youth emerging from the city gate, without riding any mount, wearing a black bracelet on his wrist.

"Brother Chen!"

The six were both surprised and delighted, quickly stepping forward:

"Brother Chen, are you alright these past two days?"

Chen Ku, upon seeing the six, quickened his pace, stepping up to greet, clasping his hands, "Brother Xiao, Helan..."

After greeting each of the six,

Seeing the six with expressions tense, concerned for him, Chen Ku was moved, expressing earnestly, "Made you worry, I’ve had no issues these past three days, just dealt with a few scoundrels harboring ill intentions against me, then found a place in the city for secluded cultivation, coincidentally exiting today at the Divine Martial Hall recruitment."

These words did not lower his voice, allowing some passersby and old martial artists to hear.

All showed tense curiosity and complexity.

You must know, currently the Ninth Realm peak elder of the Jiang Family is in some part of the city, yet this youth appears so openly, even mentioning slaying the Little Fire God Jiang Yufei and others, how bold can he be?

What backing does he have?

Xiao Tianzuo and his companions, reacting to Chen Ku’s words, were both amazed and delighted, but noticed Chen Ku’s latter words, secluded cultivation, emergence, carefully sensing Chen Ku’s aura, found his Gang Qi cultivation stronger than before, evidently he had broken through to the Outer Firmament, and moreover...
