Peng Zhen's conjecture.
Ninety, one hundred, one hundred one, one hundred nineteen!
That astonishing number finally stabilized at 119. Many people felt their heads buzzing.
Not only did Gu Xuan set a new record for the highest talent in martial arts, but his talent had also reached over 110, close to 120.
They were no longer sure what this number meant. After all, in the entire history of the Palace of Fortune, no one had ever been this terrifying.
"Truly … terrifying." Those geniuses who had a problem with Gu Xuan earlier involuntarily swallowed their saliva.
Ancient Xuan Wu's test score was almost comparable to theirs. Back then, there was an elder who came to take the test, but he only reached ninety. Compared to Gu Xuan, it was much worse.
Sizzle ~
Suddenly, a tremor came from the back of the hall.
This was another structure of a Human Tier Spirit Treasure. It displayed the names of martial artists and was used to rank them.
Gu Xuan's name was originally ranked at the last thirty-seventh place. But now, it surpassed two people in a row, reaching thirty-fifth place!
He had only taken two tests and his ranking had already risen. This was simply too monstrous!
"Looks like not only is Junior Brother Gu Xuan not trash, he's actually a genius who's much stronger than all of us …"
"Just two tests and he managed to raise his ranking. This is too heaven-defying."
"After the third test, I think he will be able to enter the top 30. The previous record was held by Senior Sister Xue Ling. She entered the top 20 right after entering the Palace of Fortune. I wonder if Junior Brother Gu Xuan can break that record."
"I'm afraid that won't work. After all, Senior Sister Xue Ling was a Nine Star Monarch back then. Junior Brother Gu Xuan was only a Six Star Monarch."
"It's already very heaven-defying."
…
The crowd of geniuses couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. They were filled with reverence for Gu Xuan. Gu Xuan being able to do this meant that not only was he worthy of the title of top genius, but he was also stronger than Peng Zhen.
Although martial arts talent was not as important as cultivation talent, that was only relatively speaking. When the disparity in martial arts talent reached a certain level, it was also extraordinary.
Even if one's talent was insufficient, the sect could use countless resources to raise the realm of Ancient Mystic. This was more worth it than nurturing three cultivation geniuses.
"Junior Brother Gu Xuan's talent in martial arts is really …"
Yang Yu was also quite shocked by Gu Xuan's performance. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had originally thought that Gu Xuan's fighting strength was so heaven-defying due to some other reasons, and martial arts was only a part of it.
But looking at it now, Gu Xuan's martial arts far exceeded his imagination.
This caused him to feel slightly helpless. He'd thought that Gu Xuan was too confident, so he didn't know his limits. But now it would seem like he'd underestimated Gu Xuan a little too much ….
Actually, it was not that he was looking down on Gu Xuan. It was just that the level of martial arts also depended on the realm. Gu Xuan was only at the supreme realm. For his martial arts to be so exaggerated, it was truly beyond common sense.
How could he possibly know that even though Gu Xuan was a Martial Highness, he was still a peak Martial Emperor!
Therefore, the martial arts that Gu Xuan displayed were also at the peak of the Emperor Level. The so-called Grandmaster Level martial artists were simply not good enough to compete with Gu Xuan in martial arts.
"Isn't my performance a bit too exaggerated?"
Gu Xuan walked out of the second stone pillar and looked back at the number on it. He couldn't help but be stunned.
In order not to attract too much attention, he had only displayed a set of martial arts in an ordinary manner, which was only half of his understanding of martial arts. Yet, the evaluation had already reached such a high level.
However, it was nothing much. The reason why he was able to receive such treatment was mainly because of his heaven-defying martial arts. Now that he had displayed some of it, it was a good thing. Otherwise, any trash would think that he was weak and easy to bully and come over to trample on him.
"Gu Xuan!"
Peng Zhen's gaze was fixed on Gu Xuan. He took a step forward and his eyes were filled with anger. "Your martial arts evaluation is 119. Aren't you going to explain?"
"Explain what? Don't tell me that I have to explain my high evaluation to others? "Gu Xuan smiled. This Peng Zhen was really a little ridiculous.
"Humph! If it's really the result, there's naturally no need to explain. However, did you really obtain your current result with your own strength? "Peng Zhen sneered and said.
"Peng Zhen, what do you mean by this?" Yang Yu frowned and his face darkened slightly.
Many people also frowned. They felt sorry for Peng Zhen when he was surpassed. However, to question Gu Xuan's evaluation was a little too much.
"You may think that I'm deliberately picking on Gu Xuan. However, think about it. The previous elder came here to test and demonstrate. What was the evaluation like when he gave it his all?"
Peng Zhen's face was filled with coldness as he glanced at the crowd.
"This …" Many people were stunned.
Previously, they didn't pay much attention to it and were only shocked by Gu Xuan. However, now that they thought about it, the level of martial arts was inseparable from the realm. Even if Gu Xuan was talented and could stand shoulder to shoulder with a Grandmaster, it was unbelievable that he could leave a Grandmaster so far behind.
"Although I don't know how the Sect Leader's martial arts are, do you all think that if the Sect Leader were here personally to conduct a martial arts evaluation, he would be able to reach Gu Xuan's level?"
Peng Zhen continued to sneer.
The crowd looked at each other. The Sect Leader was like a god in their hearts. However, the Sect Leader was still in the Grandmaster realm. Even if he was stronger than the average elder, reaching 100 or even 100 would be the limit.
However, Gu Xuan's score was close to 120.
This made the crowd waver. Could it be that Gu Xuan's martial arts was stronger than the Grandmaster's when he was in the Honorable realm?
"Therefore, I don't think this is Gu Xuan's real result. He used some other method. It's just that he just entered the Palace of Fortune and didn't know that the difficulty of martial arts evaluation is many times higher than the cultivation evaluation. That's why he got such a terrifying number. He's trying to be clever but ended up making a fool of himself!"
Peng Zhen's lips curled into a proud smile. He stared at Gu Xuan and said, "Tell me, am I right?"
The crowd's gazes fell on Gu Xuan and felt their hearts waver. Gu Xuan's result was too exaggerated. If it was exaggerated a little, it could be said that he was talented. However, if it was exaggerated too much, then there was really a problem.
Looking at Peng Zhen's smile of "exposing Gu Xuan's trick", Gu Xuan's heart was also filled with joy.
This Peng Zhen was really a genius. Although this explanation was nonsense, it was actually logical and self-justifying. Even Gu Xuan himself was starting to believe it.
For a young genius to be able to come up with such a logical explanation to comfort himself, this was quite rare.
"What, now that I've exposed your trick, you don't dare to speak anymore?" Peng Zhen's sneer deepened.
