The Martial Exam Concludes

Chaos had erupted.

Complete chaos.

At this moment, the primary goal of this year's Martial Exam candidates had shifted from hunting Exotic Beasts to avoiding Chen Yu's pursuit.

The talented candidates at Body Tempering Level Six and Seven, especially, were all in danger.

Every time Chen Yu defeated a Martial Exam candidate, he could copy Green- and Yellow-Quality Talents.

He could not even be bothered to look at them before using them all to increase the forging progress.

Twenty!

Fifty!

Eighty!

Even Chen Yu had lost track of how many people he had eliminated. He only knew that the number of Talents he had copied had surpassed a hundred.

The forging progress increased bit by bit. Although it was extremely slow, it continued to rise steadily.

82%!

90%!

99%!

Finally, the last Yellow Talent was used as material and fed into the forging process.

Chen Yu finally heard the notification he had been waiting for most:

[Talent Forging Complete]

[Martial Dao A-Grade Bone (Green)] → [Martial Dao Supreme Bone (Purple)]

[Martial Dao Supreme Bone (Purple)]: Cultivation speed increased by two hundred times that of an ordinary person. No bottlenecks within the Aperture Opening Realm.

"It worked!" Chen Yu was delighted. I just wonder how many folds of Limit-Breaking the Martial Dao Supreme Bone can reach.

The theoretical limit of Qi-Blood Limit Breaking was Ninefold Limit Break.

According to Fang Xiong, there were not many Martial Dao prodigies in the entire Human Race capable of achieving that.

But that did not mean there were none.

Although the Martial Dao Supreme Bone was impressive, it was surely still inferior to those geniuses who had emerged from among countless living beings.

Fortunately, Chen Yu's limits did not end there.

"Lao Fang was right. There are countless prodigies beneath this starry sky, as numerous as the stars."

Chen Yu suppressed the faint arrogance that had quietly arisen within him after this Martial Exam battle.

One could only imagine how powerful those Human Race prodigies capable of achieving Ninefold Limit Break truly were.

But he... was no slouch either.

Talents were not unchangeable. One day, he would copy every top-tier Talent in the world.

That was his strongest Talent!

With his Martial Dao Bone raised to Purple Quality, Chen Yu no longer continued hunting down the remaining Martial Exam candidates.

After all, the strong ones had basically all been eliminated by him. Of the few stragglers left, hardly any possessed high-quality Talents.

For the current Chen Yu, Gray, White, and Green Talents had become as useless as chicken ribs. They barely had any effect even when used for forging.

It was purely a waste of time.

"Fortunately, I can finally leave River City and head to Huaying Martial University!"

Chen Yu had long admired the renowned Three Elite Universities.

It was said that such prestigious universities were packed with geniuses and prodigies, all top talents selected from various cities. He would surely be able to copy plenty of Talents there.

He did not dare hope for Purple-Quality Talents. After all, even an entire planet might not produce more than one or two such geniuses.

New Moon might not even have any, let alone Crimson Radiance Star itself.

But there should be quite a few Blue- and Green-Quality Talents.

"I wonder what lies above Purple-Quality Talents?"

"And after copying three Green-Quality Talents, what new function will the System Panel gain?"

Chen Yu was filled with anticipation.

At the same time, many uneasy Martial Exam candidates noticed Chen Yu's abnormal behavior.

"Huh? Chen Yu seems to have stopped hunting us down!"

"Has Chen Yu returned to normal?"

"I told you, once he got his fill of fighting, his everyday personality would take over again."

Zhao Tianyi was the one who said that last sentence.

At that moment, everyone was so overjoyed they nearly cried. They could finally hunt Exotic Beasts without restraint.

Unfortunately, there was not much time left in the Martial Exam.

As the countdown reached zero, the River City Martial Exam came to an end amid a string of unexpected events.

Chen Yu had undoubtedly become the center of attention among all the Martial Exam candidates.

His final score was fixed at 11,200.

River City Martial Exam Ranking: First Place!

He had opened a gap of nearly six thousand points over Zhao Tianyi, who ranked second.

And that was despite Chen Yu focusing on hunting down other Martial Exam candidates and having no time to hunt Exotic Beasts.

The moment Chen Yu left the Martial Exam grounds, he ran into Yu Guihong, Wang Zhe, and Mi Ya, all three sporting bruised purple-blue faces.

Before the three could speak, Chen Yu spoke first. "You've disappointed me greatly."

His disappointment was not an act; it came straight from the heart.

After all, he had only copied Blue-Quality Talents from the three of them, no different from everyone else.

Before the Martial Exam, their strength had been hyped to the heavens. Yet they only had this much Martial Dao Talent. Chen Yu could not help feeling somewhat let down.

"You..." Yu Guihong opened his mouth, but for a moment, he could not find an excuse.

After all, their defeat at Chen Yu's hands was an indisputable fact.

Now that Chen Yu was mocking them outright, they truly did not know how to retort.

His purple-blue face gradually darkened toward purplish-black, and Yu Guihong felt utterly stifled.

"Chen Yu, we do not represent Imperial Capital, Upper River, or Huaying. Only the three of us lost to you!" Wang Zhe retorted reluctantly with a dark expression.

Mi Ya hurriedly added, "That's right. We aren't even considered the best in our respective regions. Don't think that just because you took first place in River City, you're the number one on Crimson Radiance Star!"

"You only relied on the advantage of your martial arts techniques. Against a true Limit-Breaking Prodigy, you definitely wouldn't last three moves!"

Hearing the explanations from the other two, Yu Guihong's expression gradually improved. He snorted coldly.

"My Imperial Capital has countless experts. How could the number of its geniuses compare to this tiny place called River City?"

"I'm not afraid to crush your confidence. This year, Imperial Capital has an unparalleled genius, Fan Wuyou. Before even entering a Martial University, he has already achieved Firstfold Limit Break!"

"His strength is enough to rival a Martial Dao expert at Blood Exchange First Stage!"

Wang Zhe crossed his arms and sneered. "Upper River also has Ao Cangfeng, who has achieved Firstfold Limit Break!"

Unwilling to concede, the three continued listing the top experts from their respective regions.

Yet they gradually realized that Chen Yu did not look discouraged at all. Instead, his eyes were growing brighter and brighter.

Damn, we forgot this guy is a Martial Arts Madman!

The hearts of all three skipped a beat.

After this Martial Exam, Chen Yu's nature as a Martial Arts Madman had long since been confirmed.

"Don't stop. Keep going, I'm writing these down," Chen Yu urged when he saw the three suddenly fall silent.

He was recording the names of these geniuses on his Terminal, intending to visit them when he had the chance.

Upon hearing that, Yu Guihong and the others felt as if their punches had landed on cotton, leaving them even more frustrated.

"Tch, forget it if you won't say anything." Chen Yu shook his head and closed the notepad on his Terminal.

"Trash is trash. Don't make excuses."

"As for this Fan Wuyou and Ao Cangfeng you mentioned, please ask them something when you go back."

"Have they... ever lost?"

Arrogant!

Far too arrogant!

"Insolent! Do you really think no one can deal with you?" Yu Guihong clenched his fists, his face flushing red.

"Yu Guihong, stop talking," Wang Zhe said quietly. "He's a Martial Arts Madman. You can't argue with him."

How could a normal person debate a madman?

Yu Guihong came to his senses as well. After letting out a long breath, he gave Chen Yu a deep look.

"You're right. Let's go!"

Watching the three depart, Chen Yu smiled to himself, completely unconcerned.

Crimson Radiance Star was too small.

The geniuses here... were too weak.
