"Now, those holding the Martial Arts Gold Order can directly enter the Great Success Hall, which will activate the Martial Temple's grand array to transport you to the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth. There, you can spar with the defenders. If you succeed in taking over any arena, you can become a Military Scholar. Those without the Martial Arts Gold Order will stay here at the third hall of the Martial Temple, and the top ten defenders can also become Military Scholars."

This was Qin Yuxian giving some leeway to those without strong innate qualities, providing ten spots for defenders to compete for.

Upon hearing this.

Dugu Wuer and Pei Qingzhi instinctively looked towards Chen Ku and Guan Hongluan. These two hadn't just lifted more than two stone lions, could it be...

They had no way to enter the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth to compete alongside them.

However.

Guan Hongluan smiled softly and said, "Thank you all. This Commandery Princess will go directly to the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth."

As she finished, a Martial Arts Gold Order appeared in her palm.

Shangguan Yun looked at Qin Yuxian again, very curious. Wasn't the Martial Arts Gold Order under Qin Yuxian's jurisdiction? How did his political rival, the Commandery Princess of the Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion, have one?

Yet, seeing Qin Yuxian's expression twitch slightly.

This confirmed to Shangguan Yun that Qin Yuxian truly didn't know where Guan Hongluan's Martial Arts Gold Order came from.

Upon further thought...

One couldn't help but admire the vast reach of the Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion, able to bypass the chief examiner Qin Yuxian to obtain an extra Martial Arts Gold Order, and it must be real to allow entry into the Martial Temple...

But at this time, Qin Yuxian, knowing full well, still could not expose it on the spot, for it concerned the internal factions of the Martial Temple. He could even guess who in the Martial Temple was colluding with the Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion.

He coldly thought, "Those people, are not far from death."

What surprised Dugu Wuer and Pei Qingzhi was that Chen Ku, after Guan Hongluan, also produced a Martial Arts Gold Order.

As the group was preparing to enter the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth.

Qin Yuxian's voice came:

"On some special arenas within the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth, there are challenge records from various ages. If any of you can break any of those arena records, not only will there be special rewards from the Martial Temple, but I, Qin, am also willing to take him as a disciple. If anyone breaks records in more than two arenas, I, Qin, would be willing to represent my master and accept him, making him my junior disciple!"

Upon hearing this, even Guan Hongluan turned her head.

Pei Qingzhi and others were deeply moved.

They had never thought of breaking two arena records as such a mythical feat. The Martial Arts Heaven and Earth isn't as small as Baojiao County, nor as small as Qiu Dragon Mansion; it holds records from thousands of years.

No matter how proud they were, they dared not claim they could surpass all the geniuses and prodigies of the past.

Only Chen Ku felt a stir in his heart and couldn't help but look towards Grandmaster Qin Yuxian.

This statement was clearly directed at him.

Why?

Did Qin Yuxian have such high expectations for him?

Or was it?

Did Qin Yuxian have great confidence that he could break some record therein? Did he know some inside information?

But when Chen Ku looked over.

Qin Yuxian did not respond, instead closing his eyes.

Thus,

Out of curiosity, Chen Ku entered the great hall behind the Martial Temple. Almost the moment he set foot into the hall...

He saw the figure of Guan Hongluan ahead, already engulfed by the light emitted from the Martial Arts Gold Order.

Then, it was himself...

After a flash of golden light.

Upon opening his eyes again, before him was a landscape of green mountains and clear waters, a hidden world.

Not far away stood a stele:

Qiu Dragon Mountain — Qingyun Path
