Chapter 902 - 400: Remarkable!
"Xu Ran’s combat talent is truly outstanding!"
The second senior brother, observing Xu Ran undergoing a trial, was astonished to see him fend off a suddenly appearing bald-headed opponent while his vision was obscured.
Moreover, he used the most basic Swordsmanship technique he had just learned—Guard!
Such combat talent is unparalleled even in Ancient Times.
In terms of Sword Dao combat talent, it can rival a Sword Immortal!
"Hasn’t he just learned basic Swordsmanship techniques? How can he suddenly wield them so skillfully?"
At this moment, the junior sister was equally surprised by Xu Ran’s current situation!
Although she is a cultivator specializing in Soul Power, mastery of one technique leads to mastery of all!
Furthermore, as the junior sister of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, her knowledge is vast and she has encountered many Sword Dao geniuses.
Naturally, she knows what kind of talent it takes to achieve what Xu Ran has in such a short amount of time.
It can be said.
Since the birth of the Origin Realm, almost all Sword Dao geniuses.
Remember, it’s Sword Dao geniuses have never achieved the level of Xu Ran!
In other words, Xu Ran’s talent in Sword Dao is incredibly formidable, even when placed in the history of the Origin Realm!
Even the eldest senior brother’s breath was slightly rapid, and a flush appeared on his usually cold face!
If the attention of the second senior brother and junior sister were focused on him, they would surely be amazed by such a scene!
This was a state that had never been seen from the eldest senior brother!
"Xu Ran is frighteningly gifted! This is only his first time learning Swordsmanship, and he can already perform at this level!"
"I...am not as good as him!"
The cold voice of the eldest senior brother echoed outside the trial, as though replying to himself.
Since his birth, he has been a legend.
All previous Extreme Ice Bodies perished in the womb because of the extremely powerful Extreme Ice Power before their birth!
He is the only successful birth among several Extreme Ice Bodies, him alone!
Based on this alone, he can rank among the top ten in the history of the Origin Realm!
Know this.
Every genius born with a Special Constitution inherently possesses great fortune.
Those Extreme Ice Bodies with formidable fortune all perished in the womb, and the resentment from this is extremely terrifying.
The size of this resentment matched the great fortune the eldest senior brother carried at his birth!
This combined nearly ten Extreme Ice Bodies’ fortunes into one!
Precisely because of this, coupled with his terrifying talent and serendipity, he accomplished the grand feat of rescuing the Near Ancient Era, standing on the shoulders of giants, successfully sealing void fissures and preventing the rampant [Power of Annihilation] from leaking.
It can be said, this series of feats saved the entire Origin Realm!
However.
Even such a person, today, while observing Xu Ran undergoing a trial, uttered the words ’not as good as him’!
Consider this.
The eldest senior brother grew up being praised by others, certainly cherished as the exemplary child of others.
The words he heard every day were unmatched by anyone else in their lifetime!
Growing up in such an environment, combined with his own invincible talent, he successfully became the eldest senior brother of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower!
Such a being, today, on what seemed like a completely ordinary day, uttered such words!
Upon hearing this, both the second senior brother and junior sister simultaneously looked at the eldest senior brother in surprise.
Their eyes were trembling, clearly stunned by his words!
Especially the junior sister.
Upon hearing the once invincible eldest senior brother, she wanted to retort.
But thinking about Xu Ran, who shone brightly in the trial, she swallowed her words with a sense of resignation!
No way around it!
Even geniuses can clearly see the gap between them; forcibly arguing now would be counterproductive!
The second senior brother wasn’t attempting much persuasion internally.
After all, Xu Ran’s talent is clearly visible and undeniable!
If he truly cared about someone surpassing him, he wouldn’t be sitting here with the eldest senior brother, watching Xu Ran’s trial.
Moreover, being a genius himself, although not quite at the level of the eldest senior brother, his thoughts are the same.
They can be surpassed, but they cannot ignore reality!
Each of the three harbored their own thoughts but simultaneously looked at Xu Ran still undergoing the trial.
"Xu Ran is nearing the completion of the Swordsmanship trial!"
The eldest senior brother’s voice returned to its cold state, and the second senior brother nodded in agreement.
Though the junior sister didn’t quite understand, she also followed suit and nodded!
...
Meanwhile!
In the Trial Arena!
Xu Ran and the bald-headed opponent, with their Silver Light Iron Sword and Blood-Red Iron Sword clashing, occasionally slid against each other, sparking flames, and their eyes locked in intense gazes.
At this moment, the two seemed to be dueling with their eyes!
"So grown up and still using sneak attacks like that!"
Xu Ran fearlessly glared at the bald-headed opponent, gripping the Silver Light Iron Sword even tighter, not relaxing verbally.
Earlier, the bald-headed opponent used the reflected blood-red glow to disrupt Xu Ran’s vision, which wasn’t very honorable—something a coward would do.
However.
To the bald-headed opponent, what might be considered dishonorable conduct is hardly worth mentioning at all.
