"Chen Ku broke the record?" Within the Wood Forest Array in the Five Elements Valley, Guan Hongluan listened to the voice from the Martial Arts Gold Order and was incredibly surprised: "How... did he do it?"

The five-colored peacock beside her showed delight in its eyes, feeling joyous for the Diagram Master.

Many places.

Others also showed various emotions and reactions.

Within a certain forest, Pei Qingzhi, who had just left Baihua Valley, suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Breaking the record? Good lad! Stealing my thunder, it seems I have to break a record for everyone to see as well!"

In a deep ravine, the sword on Dugu Wuer hummed as he looked up at the sky and solemnly spoke: "Chen Ku! I must duel with you!"

Elsewhere.

The scholar with the surname Pei, looked at the heavenly dome in utter disbelief:

"He truly... is unfathomable!"

He thought he already had some understanding of Chen Ku, but breaking the record was truly beyond his acceptance.

He had taken five or six years to advance from a Military Scholar to a Scholar, yet...

Chen Ku broke a record, which could directly promote him to the rank of Scholar, such speed of advancement made him dead envious.

Is this what a genius is?

Is the script of life really so simple!?

...

Five Elements Valley.

Inside Yellow Sand Ridge.

Boom!

A yellow-scaled large snake over ten feet long, emerged from the sand sea like a yellow ridge, upon closer inspection, it was seen that there was a small figure at the snake's neck.

It was he who pulled the snake out from beneath the sand.

[Diagram Master killed the Sand Snake King, obtaining a Five Realms Evil Qi]

The reminder came from the Transformation Diagram.

But Chen Ku was more focused on the message from the Martial Arts Gold Order at this moment.

[Candidate Chen Ku from Baojiao County has passed the Five Elements Valley stage, defeated the 'Sand Snake King', and is awarded a pair of Famous Weapon level 'Black Gold Arm Guards.']

[Candidate Chen Ku from Baojiao County has broken the record for passing the Five Elements Valley - Yellow Sand Ridge, successfully creating an unprecedented new record 'Three Drums Pass', becoming the first record-breaking candidate this year!]

Accompanied by the transmission of two messages.

"Broke the record?"

A beam of golden light descended from the sky, bathing in front of Chen Ku, slowly descending from the golden light was a pair of black gold 'arm guards', wearable on the wrist.

Black Gold Arm Guards!

Chen Ku looked at the pair of guards with slight joy, it could count as his first Famous Weapon level armament obtained.

Just as he received the arm guards.

A voice again delivered from the golden light:

"Whoever breaks the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth record shall receive additional rewards, particularly granting Military Scholar Chen Ku a Five Realms 'Breakthrough Pill', and materials for Divine Weapon level 'Thousand-year Cold Iron Essence'..."

Along with this voice.

Accompanied by the golden light, two rewards immediately fell down, one being a medicine bottle, the other, a human-head-sized, hive-like indigo mineral stone, faintly glowing with incredible hardness.

"Five Realms Breakthrough Pill, it's said to be a supreme pill, capable of opening all bottlenecks for a normal person as a divine medicine."

Chen Ku joyfully received these two rewards after breaking the record, especially the other 'Thousand-year Cold Iron Essence', unexpectedly a crafting material for the Divine Weapon level stick 'Mixed Iron Ice-Breaking Stick'.

"I already have the Jiuli Armor Leaf, and now with another 'Thousand-year Cold Iron Essence', two materials for Divine Weapon obtained, the distance to acquire a Divine Weapon seems closer than ever."

He didn't expect the rewards after breaking the record to be so rich.

Master Qin did not deceive me.

As Chen Ku was exhilarated over these precious rewards.

The golden light again brought forth a question:

"Candidate Chen Ku, you have passed the stage and broke a first-layer record, you can be exceptionally promoted to a 'Scholar', would you choose to leave the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth now, or continue trials within until the end of the three-day examination period, and then return to the outside world."

The trial period within the Martial Arts Heaven and Earth turns out to be only three days.

Meanwhile, he felt moved:

"By breaking the record, I'm directly becoming a Scholar? Advancing a step further than a Ninth Grade Military Scholar, which means if I go out now, it would be an Eighth Grade honor like the County Magistrate Qi Wanshan?"

But,

Chen Ku thought about the Dragon-locking Stone, which he hadn't gone through yet, he couldn't help but calm down and immediately said: "I wish to continue the trials."

"Good luck."

The elderly voice from the golden light faded.

Accompanied by the golden light ascending towards the sky also dissipating into the wind, and after Chen Ku passed the stage, his great name was eternally inscribed upon the towering stone wall in Yellow Sand Ridge.

Replacing the original record holder Lv Changhong, he successfully took the first place, becoming the creator of a new record.

Looking at his name listed as number one on the cliffside.

Chen Ku's lips curved into a faint smile:

"Looking at this, everyone entering Yellow Sand Ridge in the future will aim to break my record as their goal soon, but how long will this hold?"

A record is something, once created, will inevitably be broken.

Just as Chen Ku broke Lv Changhong's pass record, surely in the future, someone will break his record, but the timing... that's hard to predict.

The reason is simple as well.

The Three Drums Pass, this new record, surpassed the original first, the Young Master of Changhong Sword Sect's pass record, by a great margin.

Three Drums and Nine Gongs, surpassed by nine gong taps.

This is almost an absolute crushing mode of record-breaking.

Especially at this moment, standing within Five Elements Valley, having exited the Water Formation, Qu Yunfei gazed at the phenomena between heaven and earth, unbelievably looking at the Martial Arts Gold Order, heartbeat like war drums:
