A genius in the eyes of geniuses?
Of course, Jiang Xuan couldn't possibly reveal his three Divine Abilities; they were his trump cards, his absolute secrets.
However, it was easy to create a few Martial Skills based on the three Divine Abilities, and it wouldn't arouse suspicion.
"Alright, I'll participate."
As soon as Jiang Xuan spoke, the young men and women around him cheered.
"Well done!"
"His reputation is so widespread; he's truly not a coward!"
"Come, Classmate Jiang Xuan, we'll make a spot for you. You try first!"
Lü Yunxiao watched from the side, quite moved. He pursed his lips, wanting very much to join, but ultimately stopped himself.
Because he simply didn't know how to create Martial Skills...
"Is this the game Geniuses play? Truly worthy of the Martial Arts Nobles of the City of Flame..."
Lü Yunxiao sighed inwardly, finally deciding to remain a good bystander and cheer for Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan stepped forward, calm and composed, and walked to the iron cage.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
The Soft-bodied Devouring Monster immediately shrieked, making rat-like sounds, its jelly-like body desperately squeezing towards Jiang Xuan.
If not for the high-damping field titanium alloy cage, with its Ten-Star Martial King strength, it would probably already be chasing Jiang Xuan, wildly devouring him.
"Classmate Jiang Xuan, your Foundation seems very solid. Soft-bodied Devouring Monsters love humans with pure qi and blood value. What's your qi and blood value?"
A girl in a rubber leather suit, with red hair and a bright, elegant appearance, asked.
Jiang Xuan smiled:
"Around 70,000."
At this moment, many people showed expressions of understanding or disdain, but Lü Yunxiao almost dropped his jaw.
70,000?!
Wasn't Jiang Xuan's qi and blood value only a few thousand?
Although it had surpassed 10,000 after taking the spiritual nightmare potion, how did it reach 70,000 so quickly?
This was more than double Feng Lin's!
As Lü Yunxiao marveled, he suddenly realized that Jiang Xuan, as the only Personal Disciple of two Grandmaster Craftsmen, not only had superior status, but in terms of Martial Arts resources he could enjoy, there was already a huge gap between him and Transfer Students like them.
The path of Martial Arts was like this: either you had talent, or you had financial resources. Both could rapidly increase qi and blood value. True Prodigies had both talent and financial resources.
The current Jiang Xuan gave Lü Yunxiao that very impression.
"70,000, huh..."
Huangfu Yan nodded, walked to the cage, and pressed a button on the iron pillar.
"Alright, Jiang Xuan, you can make your move. The Martial Skill power rating will adapt automatically."
In this small circle of Martial Arts Nobles, the lowest in strength was Huangfu Yan, a Two-Star Martial King. The strongest was a One-Star Martial Emperor who had just entered his second year of university, but that One-Star Martial Emperor wasn't here today.
But even so, the same Martial Skill, when performed by a Martial King and a Martial Artist, would definitely have a huge difference. Fortunately, there was this intelligent rating device that would give an objective and fair score for each person's self-created Martial Skill.
"Alright, thank you."
Jiang Xuan nodded, then suddenly raised a finger.
A massive amount of qi and blood surged within him, all rushing towards his fingertip.
His finger suddenly glowed brightly, and then an invisible force shot out!
Whoosh!
The force was only as thick as a chopstick, but its speed was extremely fast. It instantly passed through the bars of the cage and entered the Soft-bodied Devouring Monster's body.
The scene suddenly quieted. The Soft-bodied Devouring Monster seemed unresponsive, completely unharmed.
"It's over?"
The curvaceous, red-haired, leather-clad female university student asked in surprise, her face showing undisguised disappointment.
She had thought that with Jiang Xuan's reputation as a Genius, his self-created Martial Skill would be very powerful, especially since Jiang Xuan was a top-tier existence among Grandmaster Craftsman candidates. How could such a person's Martial Arts talent be weak?
She hadn't expected such a result.
But just then, Jiang Xuan's voice faintly sounded.
"Explode."
Bang!!!
The moment his words fell, a large hole suddenly burst open on the Soft-bodied Devouring Monster's back!
The Soft-bodied Devouring Monster shrieked, collapsing to the ground, its jelly-like body beginning to melt, seemingly finished.
In an instant, everyone present widened their eyes, showing expressions of extreme disbelief.
One must know that previously, each of them had demonstrated a self-created Martial Skill, but none had caused this level of destructive power!
"This, the concept of this Martial Skill, seems ordinary, but in reality, it involves a secondary compression and explosion of force? No, how did he compress the force to this extent?"
"Exactly! Jiang Xuan, you are merely a Seven-Star Martial Artist. You shouldn't have any force within you, yet you can not only use force but also compress and control it. How did you do it?"
"Is this what a Grandmaster Craftsman candidate is like? Terrifying, truly terrifying!"
At this moment, no one dared to underestimate Jiang Xuan anymore. Their gazes even became fervent; they all wanted to learn from Jiang Xuan the concept behind his self-created Martial Skill.
This was also how Martial Arts Nobles improved their own strength: more communication, more practice, and brainstorming was always better than working alone at home.
Jiang Xuan smiled faintly:
"It's nothing. As long as the qi and blood value in the body circulate at high speed, a wisp of force can be temporarily generated. If it circulates at high speed dozens more times, won't the force be compressed?"
Now he also understood that this so-called intelligent rating device fully suppressed the Soft-bodied Devouring Monster's strength through the high-damping field titanium alloy cage. For example, when he made his move just now, the Soft-bodied Devouring Monster's strength dropped from a Ten-Star Martial King to a Seven-Star Martial Artist.
Because of this, he was able to deliver such an astonishingly effective blow; otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to break the Soft-bodied Devouring Monster's defense.
As soon as Jiang Xuan spoke, these excellent students, whether from martial arts schools or Martial Arts Universities, collectively fell silent.
Making qi and blood circulate at high speed without damaging Meridians and the body was an ability only a Martial Master could master, and it was also the method for tempering force.
However, Jiang Xuan was only a Seven-Star Martial Artist!
As a Martial Artist, he had already comprehended the method Martial Masters used to temper force, and he even dared to perform force compression that Martial Masters wouldn't dare attempt, and he succeeded with ease. What level of Martial Arts talent was this?
The top of the cage suddenly flashed, displaying the score for Jiang Xuan's self-created Martial Skill this time.
976 points!
The next moment, the leaderboard appeared, and Jiang Xuan's name was prominently at the top, surpassing everyone else.
Everyone was silent, not because they disagreed with the score, but because they suddenly realized that Jiang Xuan's astonishingly powerful Martial Skill could probably only be used by those with talent equal to or greater than his.
If other Martial Artists used it carelessly, at best their qi and blood would become disordered, causing them to faint; at worst, their Meridians would be directly burst by the high-speed circulating qi and blood, rendering them cripples!
"Oh, someone's self-created Martial Skill score actually surpassed mine? Interesting."
Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded.
Everyone turned to look, their faces showing expressions of awe or fear.
Because the newcomer was precisely the leader of their small circle, the twenty-year-old One-Star Martial Emperor—Pang Jinghai!
