Chapter 194: It's A Cruel World Out There
In front of them, on the stone wall, the first picture representing the Body Refinement discipline instantly radiated with golden light. A golden radiance directly covered the entire human figure in the mural! Peak-grade Body Refinement talent!
The elder of the Body Refinement discipline was extremely delighted, exclaiming, "Hahaha! This is fantastic! Although Su Zhan has already become an apprentice under Elder Tang, the fact proves that he is more suited for Body Refinement! He can definitely join our Body Refinement discipline! Cultivating both Body Refinement and Sword Dao simultaneously! This way, his talent won't be wasted!"
Hearing this, the other elders from various disciplines also agreed. They understood what peak-grade specialized talents represented.
Since Su Zhan was a physical cultivation genius, then hmm?
His Alchemy talent is also peak-grade?!!
The elder of the Alchemy discipline was momentarily stunned, then became ecstatic with hope, "This kid's cultivation talent is already so monstrous. If he joins our Alchemy discipline and refines various Saint Pills, it will undoubtedly assist in speeding up his cultivation even further!"
"And with a peak-grade Alchemy talent and supreme cultivation talent, he will undoubtedly become an Alchemy Grandmaster in the future!"
"Damn! His Weapon Refining talent is also peak-grade! Three peak-grades? Is he even human???" The elder of the Weapon Refining discipline was so shocked that he let out a profanity.
Before he could even contemplate how to compete with the other elders, another image lit up.
Beast Taming talent, peak-grade!
Spiritual Power talent, peak-grade!
One image after another illuminated.
As they progressed, the elders gradually became numb.
Fifteen disciplines of talents.
Su Zhan possessed peak-grade talents in five disciplines. The rest were all high-grade!
Having a single high-grade talent was already impressive among disciples.
However, now, Su Zhan's lowest talent was high-grade
This is damn unbelievable!
Are high-grade talents as common as cabbages? Is it really that easy to possess them???
The elders wore bewildered expressions, and at the same time, their gazes converged on the last mural. On that mural, there was only a small sword, representing Sword Dao talent.
At this moment, Ye Kuang's expression had turned extremely ugly.
He never could have imagined that Su Zhan actually had five disciplines with peak-grade talents! The other ten disciplines were all high-grade!
Is this guy even human???
As someone who grew up being adored, envied, and admired by countless people, a peerless genius who even encountered Saint Kings, Ye Kuang believed that he had a broad perspective and that there was nothing that could truly shock him.
However, today, witnessing this scene, he felt like he was in a dream.
Because all of this had exceeded his understanding of the world. In his perception, such monstrous talents shouldn't even exist!
"No! I haven't lost yet! Among all martial cultivators in the world, Sword Cultivators are the strongest! My Sword Dao talent is peak-grade!
"As long as my Sword Dao talent is stronger than his, I haven't lost! Even if he's also peak-grade, at least in Sword Dao, I haven't lost to him!"
Ye Kuang roared in his mind. He still had one last aspect to compare with Su Zhan! He hadn't lost yet!
This thought lasted for three seconds, until he saw the golden light flash brightly around the small sword. A golden sword shadow emerged from the stone wall and slashed straight through the sky.
Shattered!
"This, this" Ye Kuang was utterly bewildered.
Wasn't he already at the peak of talent, possessing the highest level of Sword Dao talent? Then what in the world was this???
The elder of the Sword Dao discipline widened his eyes, swallowed hard, his voice somewhat dry but incredibly excited, "Supreme! Just like the cultivation talent, this is a talent level that belongs solely to Su Zhan!"
Supreme Sword Dao talent! Surpassing all levels, throughout history, only Su Zhan has achieved it!
All the elders were left speechless and shaken to their cores.
Even Tang Wujian, who had been prepared beforehand, found his breath becoming rapid as he witnessed this scene.
He had long known that Su Zhan's Sword Dao talent was exceptional. But he had never expected it to be this extreme! To forcefully establish an entirely new level of talent!
Feeling excited and joyful, Tang Wujian burst into hearty laughter, "Excellent! Excellent! I, Tang Wujian, might not have been this happy even when I achieved the status of a Saint King! Su Zhan, come with me to meet the Holy Master! I wonder if the Holy Master, upon seeing you, will be so infuriated by the fact that such an outrageously talented individual has become my disciple that he might even spit blood. Hahaha!"
"Alright." Su Zhan also smiled faintly and nodded.
As he passed by Ye Kuang, he paused for a moment. He looked at Ye Kuang, who was now standing there like a fool, lost and dazed, and said, "Before, I thought you were actually impressive and had a strong talent since you bragged all the time about how great you were. But seeing you today, I realized that you're just full of hot air, completely untrustworthy."
"I"
Ye Kuang felt anger rising within him, but at the thought of Su Zhan's imposing demeanor just moments ago, a sense of fear stopped him from exploding.
Su Zhan continued, "Your talent being trash is one thing, you can live a mediocre life, but why do you have to keep telling everyone how high your talent is?"
"Nonsense! I am a divine physique prodigy"
"Your so-called divine physique, can even that be counted as divine?"
"I"
Ye Kuang felt an overwhelming sense of resentment, shame, and humiliation. But at the moment, he couldn't find a way to retort Su Zhan. In front of him, his divine physique was like nothing, unworthy of mention.
Seeing Ye Kuang looking like he was about to burst from suppressed anger, Su Zhan shook his head, "Though you might be a moron, that doesn't necessarily mean"
"I'm not a moron!"
"Not a moron? Then why can't you even figure out your own talent, and yet you keep boasting about it? With such trashy talent?"
"Oh, I see, you must have no shame!"
"I Poof!"
Ye Kuang coughed up a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
"A peak Fish-Dragon Realm expert like you, with such weak mental fortitude that you vomit blood from a simple conversation, it's truly incredible," Su Zhan muttered to himself, paying no further attention to Ye Kuang.
Tang Wujian, standing nearby, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this.
A simple conversation? If Ye Kuang didn't think he couldn't beat you, he would probably have been trying to fight you to the death!
Recalling how he himself had almost been verbally defeated by Su Zhan to the point of vomiting blood, Tang Wujian grew somewhat curious.
"Cough cough! Su Zhan, before we meet the Holy Master, there's a question your teacher wants to ask you!"
"What question?"
Tang Wujian pondered for a moment, then cautiously asked, "You've grown up this way, how come nobody has killed you?"
"Surprisingly, Master, you're also aware of the hardships in my life!" Su Zhan was somewhat surprised and sighed. "To be honest, from the time I started cultivating until now, I don't know how many people have wanted to kill me. It's a cruel world out there."
"Oh?" Tang Wujian was puzzled. "Then why are you still alive and well?"
Su Zhan looked at Tang Wujian with an expression akin to caring for an elderly person with dementia, somewhat speechless, and said: "As long as I kill all the people who want to kill me, won't I be safe? Master, why are you asking me such a simple question?"
