Among the Four Greats, Su Zhan Could Only Be Considered Average?

"Sir, no."

The voice from the shadows advised, "You've also been given an order: absolutely no one is to touch this genius... not even your colleagues in the Great City, nor the magnates of the Giant City."

"Why?!"

The Black Skeleton was somewhat angry. "Could it be that we're paving the way for those so-called rising stars again?"

"Yes, sir."

"This genius will remain in the Great Trial, to be devoured by a top junior member of the clan, so that his Talent Aptitude can be maximized... Moreover, this has always been the rule, something you, sir, should be aware of."

Bang!

The Black Skeleton crushed the armrest of the chair, his aura as powerful as Martial Marquis level erupting from him... He roared furiously, "That damn rule again... Such a huge piece of meat is right in front of me, and they insist on letting me hand it over to someone else! These bastards up there, even if they treat us who are infiltrating the front lines as tools, they should at least give us some benefits! It's always like this, who will be willing to risk their lives for them in the future?!"

The voice from the shadows offered no further advice.

He knew that the Black Skeleton could only vent his anger and was incapable of taking any real action... because if the Black Skeleton refused to do the job, not only would countless people come forward to take over, but he would also be directly eliminated by the higher-ups of the clan!

Even if it means taking ten thousand steps back.

The higher-ups remained unmoved, letting the Black Skeleton leave as he pleased... because in the Human Race world, the creature simply could not survive; if any Human Race powerhouse caught even the slightest trace of it, it would be instantly annihilated.

The reason is simple.

They, the "Bone Devouring Race," are the absolute mortal enemies of the Human Race!

The hatred between the two sides cannot be described with words like "irreconcilable enemies" or "sworn enemies"; "fight to the death" is the most accurate description!

"My lord, more news has arrived... This time, even if the higher-ups are willing to offer you a bribe, you may not be able to accept it."

A voice suddenly spoke from the shadows.

"Hmm?" The green ghostly flame flickered within the holes of the Black Skeleton skull.

"The White Dragon King granted that little fellow Return Token."

These words immediately calmed his previously somewhat agitated demeanor considerably.

He clearly knew very well how rare and precious the Return Token was.

This thing not only allows the user to return to Dragon Martial in an instant, but it also has a protection mechanism set up by Dragon Martial inside... Once the holder encounters a crisis, the powerful figures near Dragon Martial will immediately receive the message and rush to support them!

If he, a Martial Marquis level, were to take action against it...

Before they even get close, they'll probably be crushed to dust by Martial King Rank who's torn through space to get there!

"Dragon Martial is really generous. He bestowed a high-end item like the Return Token, which even Martial King Rank might not be able to possess, upon a mere kid." The Black Skeleton shook its head resignedly. "Then this big piece of meat can be given to those top juniors."

"Of course, that's assuming they can successfully hunt..."

The news that a genius who had Tier 2 Transcendence in the College Entrance Examination had joined Dragon Martial spread like wildfire through various channels.

If even Alien Race knew about this news, then naturally all the other core Human Race forces had also heard about it.

Yanhuang Four Schools

Bai Ou for a while.

The Giant Battle Three Halls.

The Engraved Shadow Twin Gates.

Silver Eagle Three Teachings.

The news was spreading like wildfire throughout the five Core City of the Human Race, causing quite a stir and surprise... For the first time, the name Su Zhan had come to the attention of the Human Race's top powers!

Meanwhile, Su Zhan, the instigator, was at the Lin Household, listening to Lin Fanlong, Lin Jinyu, Lin Baitian, and others discuss various matters concerning the Four Greats, geniuses, and Dragon Martial...

Lin Fanlong and Lin Baitian are both students from the Four Greats Bei Martial University.

They naturally have the most say.

It was from them that Su Zhan learned what a true genius was, what a true prodigy, Monster, or freak was!

"According to you... my current strength, among the Four Greats genius students, can only be considered a 'Monster' with a talent that is Tier 2 Transcendence above me. Are there people much stronger than me?"

After listening to the whole thing, Su Zhan's eyes shone with fervor.

Through Lin Fanlong and Lin Baitian's explanations, he finally understood the true nature of the Four Greats... and also realized his current status and Aptitude among the geniuses in the Four Greats, and even in universities around the world.

"Good."

"Last year, I successfully entered Bei Martial University Arts School with the qualification of Beginner Martial Master... But after entering Bei Martial University, I realized that the gap between people is ridiculously large. Any student there could easily beat me. That feeling, that experience... I still remember it vividly!"

Lin Baitian couldn't help but sigh, "Little sister, now you finally understand why I kept asking you about the Four Greats accounting firms, right? I was genuinely afraid that once you knew, you'd feel that terrifying and enormous gap, and you wouldn't even have the courage to take the exams for the Four Greats."

"Back then, I was at least considered one of the best candidates, surpassing a bunch of test-takers from the surrounding small towns, right?"

"When I got inside, I realized I wasn't even qualified for the Ordinary Grade level; I was just at the very bottom!"

"To reach the threshold of genius, one must meet one requirement: reach the level of Martial General before the age of 20... Goodness, when I heard that, my mentality completely collapsed."

Reaching the Martial General before the age of 20—what does that even mean?

You're already 18 when College Entrance Examination.

This is equivalent to having to leap from the Master Rank to the Martial General level within two years, essentially crossing a whole new realm!

Is this possible?

However, the truth is that there are tens of thousands of such people among the Four Greats accounting firms!

Lin Baitian's worldview suffered an unprecedented shock.

"Martial General level before the age of 20... that requirement is indeed somewhat demanding."

Lin Jinyu pondered silently.

Actually, with Senior Han's help, she dared to dream of reaching the Martial General level before the age of 20, let alone the Martial Marshal level... However, according to Lin Baitian, no one will attempt to reach the Martial Marshal level before the age of 30; everyone is accumulating strength to do one thing—leapfrog!

The enormous watershed between the Martial General level and Martial Marshal level is a chasm that perhaps only one in a million can cross!

"To describe it as harsh is an exaggeration."

Lin Fanlong spoke up, "What Bai Tian just said about reaching the Martial General level before the age of 20 is actually not accurate. It should be that one must reach the level of Advanced Martial General to barely cross the threshold and qualify for the competition!"

"The next hurdle is to reach the Advanced Martial General before the age of 30, and possess the strength to sweep aside opponents of the same rank, or even fight opponents of higher ranks!"

"If you rank among the best at the Advanced Martial General level, you can be defined as an 'Ordinary Grade student'... Back then, I was just one of thousands of Ordinary Grade graduates."

"Only those who can sweep aside all the Advanced Martial General of their class can be considered 'Elite Grade students'."

"Only those who can truly fight across a class at the Advanced Martial General level, and are comparable to Beginner Martial Marshal, can be considered 'geniuses' among the Four Greats!"

"Above that, there are people like Su Zhan, who, with the realm of Advanced Martial General, have crossed two levels and are comparable to Intermediate Martial Marshal. They are called 'Monster geniuses'... These types usually end up at the Martial King Rank, and only a few unworthy individuals are stuck at the Martial Marquis level."

"The next level is easy to understand; it's about Tier 3 Transcendence, comparable to Advanced Martial Marshal, and is considered a 'monster genius'... This category is already the very top of the top, with very few people. Their future achievements will at least be at the Martial King Rank, and Ordinary Grade be at the Martial Emperor level, making them the backbone of the Human Race."

"But above the third level, there are even more outrageous ones, the fourth level. This is the level where top powerhouses are born. Currently, the five emperors of the human race, one founded the core city of Yanhuang, and four founded the four great martial arts schools of Qingwu, Beiwu, Mowu, and Longwu. Each of them was a ruthless person who was four levels above the third level back then!"

"Su Zhan, the reason why so many Martial King Rank would fight tooth and nail for you is because you haven't even taken the College Entrance Examination yet, and haven't even entered the Four Greats Martial Kings, but you've already Tier 2 Transcendence... If you were to enter the Four Greats Martial Kings, with a better environment and better guidance, you would definitely be qualified to step into the Tier 4 Transcendence and become the next Five-Headed level existence!"

"A future Five-Headed Emperor... no wonder those Martial Kings are going crazy! If even Martial Emperor level are mobilized, they might even Martial Emperor come to snatch you away today!"

"Now you should know how important you are, right?"
