In Sinovera's Martial Arts World, the triennial Peerless Prodigy Battle holds extraordinary significance, drawing the attention of countless martial practitioners.
Indeed.
Some of the Peerless Prodigy Battle’s fiercest clashes have even sparked disputes between certain Martial Arts Sects and independent martial artists.
Yet no previous tournament can compare to this year’s Peerless Prodigy Battle!
This is an unprecedented spectacle, destined to be recorded in history and remembered for its breathtaking brilliance.
......
“A world-shaking plot by Demons and Specters?”
“Peerless Andrew Han’s unbelievable strength?”
In the inner courtyard of Sacred Spring Sect, a major Martial Arts Sect near the Imperial Capital, countless elders and disciples sat frozen in their seats, listening to an incredible tale.
That’s right.
To them, this was just a story.
“Everyone.”
Standing at the center of the courtyard, Peerless Jason Jiang, though he hadn’t witnessed Andrew’s return firsthand, spoke with certainty: “Don’t doubt it. The surveillance equipment at the mine can still export video records from early yesterday morning.”
Other disciples who participated in the Peerless Prodigy Battle nodded in agreement.
Jason Jiang hadn’t seen it.
But they had witnessed it clearly.
“This news is destined to set Sinovera’s Martial Arts World ablaze,” whispered two or three disciples, overcome with emotion as they discussed it among themselves.
“No one really knows what realm Andrew Han has reached.”
“Don’t be too curious about that. He’s the Peerless Paragon of our era, regardless. What unsettles me is that the loophole for Specter possession has been completely closed.”
More than fifteen hundred martial prodigies were gathered, yet over a dozen terrifying Specters had managed to hide among them!
Terrifying.
Even though it was now in the past, they couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines.
If Venerable Thundercrest, wreathed in violet light, hadn’t personally descended and uncovered each Specter, they might never have realized the danger.
"Speaking of which, Iron Sun Sect was truly miserable," one disciple remarked, clicking his tongue. "Out of seven or eight disciples, three turned out to be Specters."
Someone summed it up: "It’s because they’re weak."
For the Three Martial Realms, Inspiration is the most important means of detecting Specters—bar none! But Inspiration can’t identify possession directly; it can only spot the flaws caused by possession.
But those above the Martial Lord Realm can sense possession directly!
That’s the difference between small sects and large sects. Even if a Specter wants to possess and hide in the Martial Arts World, it wouldn’t dare target disciples from a major sect.
Sigh.
Someone returned to the previous topic, voice tinged with emotion: "Our major sects have disciples whose core strength is unmatched, but even they can’t compare to this generation’s Peerless Paragons."
Earlier, they hadn’t accepted the title ‘Peerless Paragon Battle.’
In the eyes of most geniuses, the Peerless Paragon Battle should really be called the Prodigy Battle. After all, with technology advancing so rapidly, ‘Peerless’ no longer means absolute dominance over one’s generation.
Invincible in one realm doesn’t mean invincible among one’s peers!
What a pity.
Who could have imagined that this generation’s Martial Arts World would produce Andrew Han, who stands above the present era as if born to rule. Even the prodigies of the previous and earlier generations must bow before him.
Hiss.
Someone drew a sharp breath: "Rumor has it, the prodigies of the previous and earlier generations only reached mid-tier Martial Lord Realm. I fear Andrew Han’s martial strength could be traced back another ten years."
Only the prodigies of the Martial Arts World from over ten years ago might compare to Andrew Han today.
It wasn’t until this moment.
Only now did they understand the terror of a Peerless Paragon.
