World's Strongest Martial Warrior

Peter Parker was taken aback.    

If the distribution of talent was categorized in such a manner, it seemed quite logical.    

After all, encountering a Ruler Realm expert was an extraordinary rarity in the Canglan Universe—such a being might emerge once in a millennium or even once in ten thousand years.    

Even for the Navy Tide Sacred Clan, nurturing a disciple with the potential to ascend to the Ruler Realm was no small feat.    

"Jin Xiao, with six-star talent, has passed!"    

While Peter Parker and Mo Fan were conversing, the individual who had earlier attempted to antagonize Mo Fan stepped up for his assessment.    

With six-star talent, he passed with flying colors.    

"The Jin Clan has unveiled yet another six-star prodigy!"    

Mo Fan looked up at Jin Xiao's display of talent, his expression growing increasingly grave.    

Just one year prior, the Jin Family had already produced a seven-star talent. Upon joining the Canglan Sacred Sect, he caught the eye of an elder and was taken on as a disciple.    

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this individual was poised to reach the esteemed status of a Divine King Realm expert in the future.    

Now, Jin Xiao's talent had also been revealed to be six stars.    

Should he join the Navy Tide Sacred Clan, the prospects of a six-star talent advancing to the Divine King Realm were not out of reach.    

And even if he didn't achieve that pinnacle, he could still rise to the level of a Heavenly Venerate—a formidable force in either the Mo or Jin Families, standing among the elite.    

The maturation of these two individuals spelled trouble for the Mo Family.    

Peter Parker offered a reassuring smile and said, "Don't fret. His talent pales in comparison to yours. Yours is at least seven stars, maybe even eight!"    

"Big Brother Peter Parker, there's no need for consolation. Seven stars is no small feat," Mo Fan replied with a self-deprecating smile. "I had a test last year, and it only showed six stars."    

Peter Parker grinned. "That was then, this is now. Who's to say what miracles this year might bring?"    

A sudden stroke of genius struck Peter Parker, and he conceived an excellent plan.    

Given his formidable strength and status, any unusual actions on his part within the Canglan Sacred Sect would undoubtedly catch the attention of the sect's higher echelons, not to mention aid in uncovering the location of the Canglan Universe's Heavenly Dao.    

Peter Parker had decided to enlist Mo Fan's assistance in locating the Canglan Universe. His plan was to help Mo Fan excel in the upcoming examination, drawing the attention of the Canglan Sacred Clan's higher-ups. By securing a position as a core disciple within the clan, Mo Fan would gain access to their most guarded secrets.    

Should the Canglan Sacred Clan possess any knowledge of the Canglan Universe's Heavenly Dao, Mo Fan would undoubtedly uncover it.    

The talent test proceeded smoothly. Roughly an hour passed before it was Peter Parker's turn. Mo Fan looked up and encouraged him, "Brother Peter Parker, go ahead and take the test first."    

"Sure!" Peter Parker agreed, stepping forward without hesitation.    

He placed his palm on the mirror before him, and a radiant halo burst forth. Stars materialized on the surface one by one.    

Peter Parker observed the mirror intently. As the sixth star shimmered into existence, he discreetly removed his palm, then slowly stepped back.    

The deacon from the Navy Tide Sacred Sect, overseeing the test, had anticipated Peter Parker's talent to reach at least seven stars, given the rapid progression. The abrupt halt at six stars left him momentarily perplexed.    

Nonetheless, he announced the results with a hint of surprise, "Peter Parker, six-star talent, passed!"    

Mo Fan turned to Peter Parker, who had rejoined him with a composed demeanor, and asked with genuine curiosity, "Brother Peter Parker, why only six-star talent?"    

Peter Parker, with his air of mystery and evident strength, had always seemed more formidable to Mo Fan, who expected nothing less than a seven-star talent from him. The revelation of six stars was astounding.    

"I've simply been cultivating longer than you," Peter Parker replied with a smile, giving Mo Fan an encouraging pat on the shoulder. "Your turn, Mo Fan. Give it your all!"    

In that instant, Mo Fan felt an invigorating warmth spread through him, bolstering his spirits.    

Mo Fan didn't hesitate for a moment. With a firm nod and a deep breath, he strode toward the mirror to assess his magical aptitude.    

As soon as his hand touched the reflective surface, the stars etched upon it multiplied with alarming velocity.    

One star, two stars, three stars...    

In the blink of an eye, Mo Fan's Talent Star count had shattered the six-star barrier and soared to seven, showing no signs of slowing down.    

Finally, Mo Fan's Talent Star count surged past seven, reaching an astonishing eight stars!    

"Eight-star talent!" The proclamation sent shockwaves through the crowd gathered in the square.    

The Navy Tide Sacred Clan had just witnessed the emergence of their first eight-star talent at this year's New Meet, setting the entire place abuzz.    

Many onlookers couldn't mask their envy, jealousy, and resentment as they gazed at Mo Fan. An eight-star talent was the hallmark of a once-in-a-generation prodigy, one with the potential to ascend to the Dominator Realm.    

Such a prodigy, upon joining the Navy Tide Sacred Sect, was guaranteed to receive its unwavering support.    

Indeed, with the backing of the Navy Tide Sacred Clan, an eight-star genius like Mo Fan had an eighty to ninety percent chance of rising to the esteemed rank of a Chief Sovereign Realm expert, barring any unforeseen circumstances.    

"Eight-star talent, how can this be?" Jin Xiao was dumbstruck by Mo Fan's results, disbelief etched across his face.    

Just last year, when Mo Fan had come to the Canglan Sacred Sect for evaluation, he had been a mere six-star talent. How had he transformed into an eight-star genius in a mere year?    

It was common knowledge that innate talent and potential were typically static, unaffected by the progression of one's cultivation unless by some stroke of extraordinary fortune.    

Had Mo Fan stumbled upon some miraculous opportunity in the past year?    

Jin Xiao's expression darkened considerably.    

With Mo Fan's eight-star talent confirmed, he could bypass the remaining assessments and be directly inducted as a disciple of the Canglan Sacred Clan.    

The schemes they had employed the previous year to thwart Mo Fan's induction were now futile. With his eight-star talent, once Mo Fan joined the Canglan Sacred Clan, his path to becoming a core disciple was all but assured.    

For the Jin Family, this news was devastating.    

"I actually tested as an eight-star talent? How... How can this be?" Mo Fan gazed at the test results in disbelief, struggling to snap out of his shock. Just last year, during the Navy Tide Sacred School's New Recruitment Meeting, he had only demonstrated a six-star talent. How could he have inexplicably achieved an eight-star talent now?
