Chapter 163 – Monstrous Geniuses (1/2)
“Qin Youran, a genius from the Grand Qin Empire’s Imperial Academy. He’s an all-rounder in both the martial arts and liberal arts, and he’s ranked at the first position in both within the Imperial Academy. He’s at the peak of the First Heaven Realm, and his true strength is unknown. According to rumor, he possesses a Heaven Rank Dark Treasure, but no one has seen him use it. The rumors say he disdains to use it because Profounders beneath the Spirit Realm lack the qualifications to make him utilize it….
“Fang Leng, another peak First Heaven Realm genius of the Imperial Academy, and he possesses a high-grade Earth Rank Dark Treasure, the Defiant Spear. Moreover, he has comprehended Spear Insight and has annihilated a third rank King Realm expert. This isn’t a rumor but a fact….
“Yuan Ye, a genius at the peak of the First Heaven Realm and ranked at the 2nd position on the Origin School’s Outer Court Rankings. His true strength is unknown. But all of you’ve witnessed it firsthand before the city’s entrance. His strength is absolutely superior to Wenren Yue and Leng Xinran!
Yu Heng spoke slowly and explained the weaknesses of all these geniuses to them. All of them would naturally not let such an opportunity slip by, and they listened solemnly.
An hour later, a middle aged man suddenly walked into the hall. He walked over to Yu Heng and Su Qings.h.i.+’s side before he said something to them. Suddenly, Yu Heng stood up while his expression changed violently, and he said, “Is the information accurate?”
The middle aged man nodded.
Yu Heng and Su Qings.h.i.+ exchanged glances when they heard this, and a wisp of a bitter expression arose in their eyes.
After a short while, Yu Heng took a deep breath, glanced at them all, and said, “There’s another monstrous genius, the Origin School’s Yuan Tong. He is a true monstrous genius. He’s said to be the number one expert in the First Heaven Realm and the most monstrous genius in the entire southern territory for the last 500 years. He started cultivating at the age of six, attained the First Heaven Realm at the age of 10, advanced to the peak of it at the age of 13, and then became the number one expert in the Origin School’s Outer Court. After that, he became the number one expert in the Origin School’s Inner Court at the age of 15. Yes, the Inner Court Rankings. All of you must realize that all the existences on the Origin School’s Inner Court Rankings are King Realm experts.
“He’s the second person since the Origin School was established to attain the first in both the outer court and inner court rankings. The first to accomplish it was the Origin School’s Founding Ancestor. His speed of cultivation is merely inferior to the Origin School’s Founding Ancestor, but his natural talent exceeds the Origin Schools Founding Ancestor. Because he had comprehended Fist Intent and Martial Intent. He’s the first person in the history of the Origin School to comprehend two Intents!
“He has the best chance of becoming the Martial G.o.d in the entire southern territory. The t.i.tle of Martial G.o.d is equivalent to the t.i.tle of Sword Emperor amongst sword cultivators. Just like the t.i.tle of Sword Emperor, the t.i.tle of Martial G.o.d hasn’t been attained for a few thousands of years. One year ago, he entered into closed door cultivation and was supposedly trying to fuse his Fist Intent and Martial Intent. I thought that he wouldn’t be partic.i.p.ating in the Ascension Rankings, but I never imagined that he would actually come as well!”
The expressions of everyone within the hall changed upon hearing Yu Heng. Even Yang Ye’s expression was extremely solemn. Because if Yu Heng’s words were true, then that fellow called Yuan Tong was too terrifying.
He’d attained the First Heaven Realm at the age of 10 and had even comprehended Fist Intent and Martial Intent. Such natural talent was monstrous to an indescribable level!
“He has killed a sixth rank King Realm expert and defeated a peak King Rank Darkbeast in the Grand Myriad Mountains. Moreover, he has even fought a Spirit Realm expert. Even though he lost in the end, he’d injured that Spirit Realm expert…. He’s the most monstrous genius in the southern territory. I never expected that he would actually come to partic.i.p.ate in the Ascension Rankings…. Looks like the first in the Ascension Rankings will belong to the Origin School again!” Yu Heng laughed bitterly. If only such a genius appeared in the Sword Sect.
Murong Yao suddenly asked. “He’s already so strong, so why has he come to partic.i.p.ate in the Ascension Rankings?”
“It’s for none other than reputation!” Yu Heng said, “He’s the number one expert in the southern territory’s younger generation, yet very few people know of his genius while most are unaware. If he partic.i.p.ates in the Ascension Rankings, then his name would spread throughout the entire southern territory. At that time, he would become the model in the hearts of all the Profounders of the younger generation within the southern territory!”
Murong Yao laughed bitterly and didn’t speak further. Even though she was confident, she wouldn’t think that she was capable of going against such a monstrous genius. Not to mention her, even those other geniuses from the Imperial Academy would probably be unable to go against such a monstrous genius!
.......
Yang Ye left the hall and walked slowly towards a street. Even though another monstrous genius that they were absolutely unable to resist had appeared, all of them didn’t reveal any signs of being dispirited or feeling despair. Because their objectives were merely to be ranked on the rankings and not seize the first position!
On the other hand, Yang Ye’s objective was the first position!
Yang Ye didn’t fall into despair nor did he think of giving up. He admitted that this piece of information had really shocked him, and he admitted that Yuan Tong really was an extremely monstrous genius. However, it was absolutely impossible to make him give up and admit defeat just because of that.
Yang Ye wasn’t the type of person that retreated without a fight. Moreover, attaining the first position was related to his mother. So, his objective was still to obtain the first position on the Ascension Rankings!
Suddenly, Yang Ye stopped moving and turned around because Su Qings.h.i.+ had suddenly appeared behind him.
“Have you come to console me?” Yang Ye smiled as he spoke.
Su Qings.h.i.+ shook her head as she walked over in a swift and graceful manner to stand by Yang Ye’s side. The two of them walked slowly just like that. After a short while, Su Qings.h.i.+ said, “You don’t need the consolation of others, right?”
