Chapter 85: 085 Not worth worrying about

“So formidable.”

Wu Xingyun, who was watching the fighters from the sidelines, was still in awe from the breathtaking confrontation between Gu Yang and Liu Zhe. He was carefully analyzing Gu Yang’s Saber Technique and Liu Zhe’s Sword Technique.

At this moment, he realized just how vast the gap was between him and the two of them.

They were all from the Second Grade, yet the strength they wielded was on completely different levels.

Though he had been defeated by Chu Xiyue, he felt confident that he would surpass her given another chance.

However, Gu Yang’s saber and Liu Zhe’s sword… even after five years, he was doubtful he could withstand them.

Wu Xingyun murmurs to himself, “Is this the strength of the prodigies of this

era?”

He remembered when he had first topped the Hidden Dragon List and dreamt of rivaling those on the Prodigy List.

So, he had asked the dean how he compared to those prodigies on the list.

The dean had asked him two questions in response.

The first one was, did he cultivate an unrivaled technique?

He had shaken his head.

Second question, did he master an unrivaled sword technique?

He had shaken his head again.

The dean had elaborated that setting the Prodigious List members’ age limit to twenty for a reason.

Those who practised ordinary techniques could not reach the Second Grade before the age of twenty, regardless of their innate talent. Their bodies hadn’t fully matured yet and hence wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of the Second Grade.

To achieve the Second Grade before twenty, you must practice an unrivaled technique.

These unrivaled techniques, all passed down since ancient times, were aimed at the Celestial Being realm. Each of them was remarkable, constantly transforming the physique during cultivation.

It was for this reason that human physical limitations could be overcome, and the Second Grade could be achieved before the age of twenty.

These individuals were undeniably the pride of the Heavens. The mysteriousness of their techniques and the strength of their power were incomparable to others in the same realm.

In his martial arts academy, there were similarly esoteric methods inherited.

They were left behind by the founding emperor of Great Zhou, totaling two. But in the more than four hundred years since then, no one from the academy has made it into the Prodigy List.

This showed just how difficult it was to cultivate an unrivaled skill to the Second Grade realm before the age of twenty.

Typically, only those with extraordinarily compatible physique for the technique and top-notch talent could become prodigies.

Unfortunately, Wu Xingyun was born in an era overflowing with prodigies.

Nine prodigies of his time, an extraordinarily rare occurrence.

Typically, only two or three prodigies would grace a generation on the list.

At times, only one.

And sometimes, not even one.

Having nine spots on the Prodigious List only occurred once before, five hundred years ago at the end of the previous era, during the tumultuous period of great warfare.

“Prodigies, so what!”

Having understood the gap between himself and the prodigious Liu Zhe, Wu Xingyun’s heart surged with defiance instead.

He shifted his hot gaze towards Gu Yang not far away.

Gu Yang, too, had come from the Hidden Dragon List and was capable of defeating a pride of the heavens like Liu Zhe.

If he could do it, why couldn’t he?

“A sword breaks through a thousand waves!”

“God- Slaying Knife! ”
