The top five prodigies on the Human Ranking have finally appeared.
Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao have been traveling and training together for the past two years, earning quite a reputation.
Many recognized them, and their arrival immediately drew attention.
Currently, the entire Tai Xuan Realm acknowledges that the top five on the Human Ranking are the most monstrous geniuses in tens of thousands of years.
Some even believe they surpass the legendary prodigies from the Heaven, Earth, and Human Rankings of the past.
Everyone is eager to find out—after nearly three years, how much stronger have these prodigies become?
Could they be even more terrifying now?
Under the crowd’s watchful eyes, Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao walked straight toward Chen Chang'an.
"Huh?"
"What are they doing?"
"No way… it can’t be what I’m thinking, right?"
"Do they know Chen Chang'an too? Are they also connected to him?"
"Damn, is Chen Chang'an just that ridiculously overpowered?"
"Oh no, oh no—they’re really standing in front of him now."
"What the hell? Who exactly is Chen Chang'an?"
Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao stopped before Chen Chang'an, visibly excited.
"Young Master, you’re here," Gu Xian'er said respectfully.
"Brother Chang'an, we’re not late, are we?" Gu Fengyao asked eagerly.
Young Master?
Brother?
What the—?!
"Wait, Gu Fengyao is the pride of the Gu family, part of the younger generation. Gu Tianyuan is her great-grandfather’s generation. But Chen Chang'an calls Gu Tianyuan ‘Little Gu,’ while Gu Fengyao calls Chen Chang'an ‘Brother’? What kind of messed-up seniority is this?"
"My brain hurts trying to figure this out. Chen Chang'an outranks Gu Tianyuan, who outranks Gu Fengyao, but Gu Fengyao calls Chen Chang'an ‘Brother,’ meaning she outranks Gu Tianyuan too? Damn, I’m dizzy."
"And you’re focusing on that? What about Gu Xian'er? The third-ranked prodigy on the Human Ranking calls Chen Chang'an ‘Young Master,’ and doesn’t she seem… a little off around him?"
"Yeah, I noticed. It’s not just her—it’s her demeanor. Like she’s… a subordinate? No, not just a subordinate—more like a maidservant."
"Maidservant? Yes! That’s exactly it! I couldn’t put my finger on it earlier."
A maidservant?
Gu Xian'er, ranked third on the Human Ranking, is Chen Chang'an’s maidservant? That’s insane!
How could a prodigy like her serve someone else?
Not to mention, Gu Xian'er’s beauty has driven countless admirers wild.
Now, many in the crowd who fancied her glared at Chen Chang'an with hostility. But given his mysterious and intimidating background, no one dared to act out.
"Since you two are here, go ahead and take the test," Chen Chang'an said.
"I’m curious to see just how strong you’ve become."
"Yes, Young Master."
"Got it, Brother Chang'an."
Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao exchanged a glance before walking toward the testing monuments on either side.
Seeing them prepare for the test, the onlookers grew excited.
"The real prodigies of the Human Ranking are finally testing!"
"What do you think their combat power ratings will be?"
"I’d say… at least seven stars."
"But… have you noticed their cultivation levels?"
Cultivation levels?
The two of them?
Only then did the crowd realize—both had broken through to the Supreme Realm!
Supreme Realm, Second Level?!
They’re already at the Second Level of the Supreme Realm?!
Unbelievable!
This is absolutely terrifying!
Gu Fengyao, though slightly older, was only in her thirties. A Supreme Realm cultivator in her thirties—truly worthy of being called a prodigy.
After all, when she first appeared on the Human Ranking, she was weaker than Nie Haotian and Ye Beiming.
Yet, in less than six years, she had surpassed them both, leaping ahead to become a Supreme Realm expert.
As for Gu Xian'er, she was even more terrifying. Emerging as a prodigy in her twenties, she was on par with Chen Yunxuan and Ye Zhiqiu.
"I never expected both of them to reach the Second Level of the Supreme Realm."
"It hasn’t even been three years—how did they improve so quickly?"
"Right? Gu Xian'er has always been a monster, but Gu Fengyao… how did she suddenly rise like this? Overtaking others so fast?"
"Ugh, I just can’t wrap my head around it."
"Still, even though they’ve reached the Supreme Realm, they’re only at the Second Level. Their combat power probably won’t hit nine stars."
"Even seven or eight stars would be insane."
"I’d say seven stars max—no way it’s higher."
"I think they might reach eight."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao placed their hands on the testing monument.
The moment their hands touched the stone, it began to tremble violently—an unprecedented occurrence that stirred excitement among the onlookers.
"As expected of peerless prodigies! I’ve been here for over a month, yet this is the first time I’ve seen the monument react so intensely."
"Now I’m even more curious—could their combat prowess have reached nine stars?"
"Unbelievable… truly unbelievable. With only Supreme Realm second-level cultivation, they might already possess nine-star strength? That’s defying the heavens!"
"Does this mean their power rivals that of Supreme Realm ninth-level experts at their peak?"
"No—it means they’re invincible below the Immortal Realm!"
As the monument shook fiercely, a blinding golden light erupted from its surface, forcing Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao to step back. The radiance was so intense that no one could discern what was happening on the stone.
All eyes remained fixed on the monument, waiting for the golden light to fade before the results of their test could be revealed.
"Why is the light lingering for so long? Hasn’t it dimmed yet?"
"I… I can’t help but feel nervous."
"Same here. My heart’s racing."
"My hands, my legs—my whole body is trembling."
Even experts like Nie Pengju, who had reached the Great Emperor realm, couldn’t suppress their tension.
Gu Xian'er and Gu Fengyao had become the center of attention, with everyone eagerly anticipating the outcome of their test.
"Interesting. Could they have surpassed nine stars?"
Chen Chang'an observed the testing monument with a faint smile.
