Chapter 478: Just How Much of a Prodigy Is That Mysterious Senior Brother?

A blinding light illuminated the entire scene; even with one's back to this light, it could still be easily perceived.

Countless Cultivators turned their gazes in unison.

It was as if six green suns were suspended high in the sky, releasing astonishing brightness and illuminating the entire world in green.

Among them, five green light spheres were difficult to look at directly, belonging to the "Radiance Rank", while the sixth light was relatively dimmer, belonging to the "Strong Rank".

"One Strong, Five Radiance!"

"It really is him!"

"He is truly a Prodigy that appears once in a millennium!"

"Not unexpected, after all, he was the same thirty years ago!"

"Regardless of how he acts, at least his talent is unquestionable!"

Many Cultivators had to circulate their spiritual power to protect their eyes in order to look directly at that astonishing green light.

The one who created such a stir was none other than Ye Hanyou.

He remained standing in mid-air at the position where he had just thrown his punch, with six green light spheres shining brilliantly behind his head, their dazzling light overwhelming the entire scene.

Yellow light represents a bone age of under three hundred, while green represents a bone age of under five hundred; to be precise, green represents a bone age between three hundred and five hundred.

"If I remember correctly, his exact age should be three hundred and fourteen!"

"A Late Stage Imperial Realm Cultivator at three hundred and fourteen years old; looking across the entire Southwest region of the Ancient Spirit Continent, he is indeed the only one who can be found!"

"Perhaps he can achieve a Breakthrough to the Venerable Realm before he turns five hundred!"

"His talent as a Prodigy is unquestionable, but wanting to achieve a Breakthrough to the Venerable Realm before five hundred might be a bit of a stretch. Talent alone is not enough; sufficient luck is also required!"

"Regardless, among all the Cultivators present, the only ones who might have a sliver of hope of surpassing him in talent are likely the two peerless Prodigies from the Small Thousand Palace!"

The Cultivators whispered incessantly.

As the most outstanding Prodigy in the Southwest region over the past millennium, no one would doubt the value of Ye Hanyou.

But this does not mean that his natural talent is unsurpassable.

In other regions of the Ancient Spirit Continent, there exist those whose natural talent is not inferior to his, and his level of being a Prodigy is only claimed to be unmatched among Cultivators born in the Southwest region within the last millennium.

Two thousand years ago, three thousand years ago, four thousand years ago… throughout the long passage of time, there has never been a lack of Prodigies. One could always find some who could compare to Ye Hanyou, and there were even those who could surpass him.

It's just that those Cultivators were either in seclusion or did not have such an intense need for Battle Qi.

At this moment and in this place, the only ones who might surpass Ye Hanyou in talent are perhaps Luo Li and Wei Qingyan.

The two of them have often appeared in the outer areas of the Battle Heaven Ruins Barrier over the past few years, and through various incidents, they have already demonstrated astonishing talent to the world.

However, just how great their talent is has never been shown by direct data, and this time happens to be a rare opportunity.

The Battle Qi Tower is a Saint King weapon.

Saints and Saint Kings of the Ancient Spirit Continent have all visited this place, attempting to take this tower away, but in the end, they all returned empty-handed.

No one would doubt the talent measured by a weapon of this level.

Moreover, over so many years, countless Cultivators have come here to test their talent, and everyone can attest to its accuracy.

The number and brightness of the light spheres can completely and intuitively demonstrate exactly what a Cultivator's talent is.

"I heard that since the Battle Qi Tower appeared in the world, the highest talent that has appeared is Eight Radiance."

"Correct, it is known that Eight Radiance is the highest, followed by One Strong, Seven Radiance!"

"Ye Hanyou's One Strong, Five Radiance is already exaggerated enough, but above him are Six Radiance, One Strong, Six Radiance, Seven Radiance, One Strong, Seven Radiance, and Eight Radiance!"

"That's right, there have been five Ranks of Prodigies above him, so while his talent is high, it is far from the limit!"

"Hiss~ Even more exaggerated than him, what kind of Prodigies are they?"

"The Battle Qi Tower has appeared for too long, but there are not many whose talent can surpass Ye Hanyou; it wouldn't exceed the number of fingers on two hands!"

"Some of these Prodigies have already fallen, and those who haven't have become giants of their respective regions, or even Saints who dominated an entire generation!"

"The known highest is Eight Radiance; I dare not imagine how exaggerated One Strong, Eight Radiance and Nine Radiance above that would be!"

"Perhaps only the legendary Great Sage Zhantian himself could reach that level!"

While the Cultivators were discussing, they were also secretly waiting for the results of Luo Li and Wei Qingyan.

Ye Hanyou stood in mid-air, his gaze also fixed on the two, and soon he would be able to determine what level their talent was.

Just as these thoughts crossed his mind, a blinding red light entered his pupils, standing on equal footing with Ye Hanyou's green light.

"Hmm?!"

The color of the light took all the Cultivators by surprise. Red represents a bone age of under one hundred. A young Cultivator under one hundred years old being able to release light of "Radiance Rank brightness" is enough to prove their unlimited potential.

When all gazes gathered, they discovered seven red light spheres floating behind a young girl's head.

The young girl was beautiful, exuding an aura of youth from head to toe, and this girl was none other than Su Xiaoyu.

Su Xiaoyu clearly did not expect that she could create such a big stir, and when all eyes focused on her, she appeared a bit uneasy.

"One Strong, Six Radiance!"

"I really didn't expect that she actually reached One Strong, Six Radiance!"

"She surpassed Ye Hanyou's One Strong, Five Radiance!"

"The so-called Prodigy that appears once in a millennium has just been surpassed?"

"This… this…"

The Cultivators were greatly shocked.

The Prodigy that appears once in a millennium in the Southwest region of the Ancient Spirit Continent had a talent evaluation of only One Strong, Five Radiance, yet this young girl from the Small Thousand Palace had a talent evaluation that reached One Strong, Six Radiance!

It was very clear that Ye Hanyou's talent had been surpassed by her.

Ye Hanyou, standing in mid-air, frowned, his eyes slightly darkening. He had imagined that Su Xiaoyu might possess decent talent, but he had not expected that he would be surpassed by her!

If it were Luo Li and Wei Qingyan, he would not be particularly surprised, but Su Xiaoyu was completely beyond his expectations.

"Hmph, perfect, this young master has gained another top-tier prey!"

Ye Hanyou snorted coldly in his heart, and his brow relaxed.

"Junior Sister's talent is indeed very good!"

Luo Li and Wei Qingyan were both somewhat surprised.

After several years of contact, they were also clear about Su Xiaoyu's talent, but they just didn't expect the evaluation to be this high.

"I… I actually surpassed the Genius that appears once in a millennium?"

Su Xiaoyu was a bit dazed.

She had always been comparing herself to her two Senior Sisters, but the more she compared, the more desperate she felt, as she could clearly feel the huge gap between herself and the two of them.

After years of comparison, even though others marveled at and envied her talent, she had always felt that she was very ordinary.

Now it seemed that it was not that she was ordinary, but that Luo Li and Wei Qingyan were too much of a Prodigy; under the dazzling light of these two peerless Prodigies, she appeared less brilliant.

"My two Senior Sisters can probably reach at least Seven Radiance!"

Su Xiaoyu thought to herself.

As if to let her know the exact answer, astonishing light was released in an instant, and the entire world seemed to be shrouded in red light.

Nine extremely blinding red light spheres simultaneously emerged from behind Luo Li and Wei Qingyan's heads, as if suns were releasing their light to the fullest, completely suppressing the green light of Ye Hanyou's "One Strong, Five Radiance" into a corner!

"Nine Radiance!"

"It's actually Nine Radiance!"

"As expected! With a talent evaluation reaching such a level, the rumors that the two possess the 'Divine Pill Physique' and 'Supreme Sword Physique' must absolutely be true!"

"The highest talent since the Battle Qi Tower appeared in the world has been broken!"

"Not only broken, but it was broken by two people at the same time!"

"Before, there were doubts about their talent, but after today, no one will doubt it anymore!"

"Besides the Extreme Yin Hall, Holy Land level forces from other regions will definitely make their move, and I don't know if they will refuse as before, or choose to join one of them!"

"Two Nine Radiance geniuses with a bone age of under one hundred have talent potential that can be called unlimited; I fear it won't be long before a battle to snatch them up occurs!"

All the Cultivators were shocked by the blinding red light that filled the entire world.

Ye Hanyou frowned again, his eyes flickering uncertainly, but he soon returned to normal.

"My two Senior Sisters are truly Prodigies!"

"They actually broke the 'Eight Radiance' record simultaneously!"

"The gap between me and them is indeed huge. I really don't know just how much of a Prodigy that mysterious Senior Brother, whom they admit they are inferior to and hold in such high regard, is!"

Su Xiaoyu could not control the expression of shock on her pretty face. While shocked and filled with emotion, she also became increasingly curious about that mysterious Senior Brother.
