Martial Talent
"Good, good, good!"
Peng Zhen's face immediately turned ashen. He was an outstanding son of heaven, and even some elders had to be respectful to him. Gu Xuan, a person with no talent, actually dared to insult him like this. This had truly infuriated him.
"Gu Xuan, don't regret this. When I become a peerless expert, the first thing I will do is to kill you!"
"Your arrogance is laughable." Gu Xuan smiled as he shook his head.
It was normal for geniuses to be arrogant because of their talents. This Peng Zhen was too interesting. He had only displayed some talent, and he wanted to say what would happen after he became a peerless expert …
This was simply too laughable.
"Junior brother Gu, this time, should we …"
Yang Yu's face revealed some hesitation. If Gu Xuan had participated in the test previously, it would have been fine. At most, he would have made a fool of himself. However, now that Gu Xuan had a conflict with Peng Zhen, if Gu Xuan's performance was average, it would be unavoidable for him to be humiliated.
"It's fine, let's continue with the test." Gu Xuan shook his head. Even if he wasn't, what was the point? If he cared about how others looked at him, he wouldn't be the Pill Emperor.
Would a giant dragon change his mind because of the ridicule of a few ants?
Gu Xuan opened the door on the first stone pillar and directly walked in.
Everyone in the palace focused their gazes on the stone pillar. This time, Peng Zhen wasn't the only one who disliked Gu Xuan.
When they were the same age as Gu Xuan, they were already at the peak of the Honourable level. The lowest was at the eight or nine stars of the Honourable level. Gu Xuan was only at the six stars of the Honourable level, yet he received the same treatment as them. This really made everyone unhappy.
However, their advantage over Gu Xuan was not as simple as Peng Zhen's, so they couldn't say much.
After a while, a huge number appeared on the stone pillar, and it constantly changed.
Ten, twenty, thirty.
Thirty-one.
The number finally stopped at thirty-one.
This pitiful number made many people laugh. Those who could enter the Palace of Fortune were at least in the fifties. Yang Yu and a few other top geniuses even exceeded the hundred mark.
Gu Xuan's evaluation also confirmed that Gu Xuan's talent was not a malicious guess, but a fact.
"What a trash!" Peng Zhen's lips curled into a cold smile. His score in the first test was only above 90, and that was because he had yet to break through to the King level. He was confident that once he did, his score would not be any lower than Yang Yu and the others with the highest scores.
Gu Xuan's evaluation was actually only one-third of his. What qualifications did he have to challenge him?
Gu Xuan walked out of the first stone pillar with an indifferent expression. He continued to walk into the second stone pillar.
"Eh, Gu Xuan actually still hasn't given up. Could it be that he thinks it's possible to raise his ranking with such a low evaluation in the first segment?"
"Hehe, maybe his martial arts talent is extraordinary. Maybe he can reach eighty or above."
"Over eighty? Although there are people who can achieve this result, most of us are only in our twenties. Do you think this is possible? "
"I thought that the sect would arrange for someone with a lower cultivation level to be a genius like Junior Brother Peng Zhen. I didn't expect that I would be taken aback."
…
Hearing these mocking words, Yang Yu shook his head helplessly. He knew that Gu Xuan's potential was not lower than Peng Zhen's. In fact, Gu Xuan was stronger than anyone in the Palace of Fortune.
However, Gu Xuan's cultivation level was still too low, and these people had lost their balance. How could they let Gu Xuan have it easy?
"Junior Brother Gu Xuan is extraordinary in martial arts, but his foundation is still too weak. If he gets above forty, at least he can save face."
Yang Yu looked at the second stone pillar with a nervous expression. Although Gu Xuan's martial arts talent was good, the evaluation of martial arts was related to one's cultivation level.
If one was in the King level, one's understanding of martial arts would naturally be incomparable to that of an Honorable level warrior.
After a while, the number "ten" appeared on the second stone pillar.
"Eh, it's already ten. That's fast," someone couldn't help but say.
The earlier the number appeared, the higher the possibility of reaching a higher number. However, this was only a possibility, and not a certainty.
However, in the blink of an eye, the number on the stone pillar changed again.
Twenty!
Before the crowd could be surprised, the number actually changed three times in a row, reaching the number of 50!
"Fifty!"
Seeing this number, someone exclaimed. The most important thing for a warrior's cultivation was talent. Therefore, the proportion of talent in the evaluation was extremely high, and martial arts were relatively more difficult.
Therefore, it was normal for one to reach twenty. Thirty to forty was pretty good, and fifty was already considered a martial arts genius.
Although Gu Xuan barely managed to enter the Palace of Fortune with his martial arts talent, it was still reasonable.
Peng Zhen's expression changed, and he sneered, "So what if it's fifty? I got sixty-three in the martial arts evaluation, and my talent is much higher than yours. What right do you have to compete with me?"
"No, Gu Xuan's score hasn't been decided yet. It's still increasing!"
While the crowd was distracted, someone suddenly said, "If Gu Xuan's score was in the fifties, the evaluation would have been out already. If it hasn't ended yet, it means that this isn't his limit."
Just as this person finished speaking, the number on the stone pillar changed again!
Sixty, seventy, eighty!
"Eighty! He actually reached the highest level in the Palace of Fortune. How is this possible? Isn't he a Six Star Honorable? How can he have such a high level of martial arts! "
Seeing this number, many people couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Eighty was already the Palace of Fortune's record, and it wasn't the current record. It was set by someone a few decades ago, and that person was now an elder of the Sect.
As for now, the highest record holder was Senior Sister Xue Ling, who was ranked third. However, Xue Ling was already a Three Star Honorable while Gu Xuan was only a Six Star Honorable.
"No wonder Gu Xuan was recruited into the Palace of Fortune at his current level. So his martial arts talent is too high. Looks like even if Gu Xuan can't compare to Junior Brother Peng Zhen, he's not far off."
"Indeed, even if his martial arts talent is good, it's still not as good as his cultivation."
Hearing the discussions of the few people, Peng Zhen's expression became slightly better. The most important thing for a cultivator was cultivation talent. Moreover, Gu Xuan's martial arts talent was only slightly better than his, but his cultivation talent was far, far worse than his.
But just as everyone was exclaiming …
