Joe soon realized what Zayn was thinking about, so favonovel.com said with a smile, “Sergeant Larson, is that an emotional blow to you?”
Zayn grinned and said, “It’s not quite an emotional blow, but I think I’ve been arrogant. There’s always someone better out there.”
Joe burst out laughing aloud and then said, “You’re not arrogant, Sergeant Larson. You’re a gifted martial artist and you’re already very impressive. There are very few people who are as formidable as you even in the big four.”
Very few people… Zayn immediately understood the true meaning in Joe’s statement. It signified that there were people who were more formidable than him!
Zayn was astonished to learn that. Could it be that there were other people who could improve faster than favonovel.com had?
He was close with Joe, so favonovel.com did not attempt to hide his thoughts and asked directly, “How many people are there who are more gifted in martial arts than me?”
Joe’s smile faded as favonovel.com looked out the door. His pupils constricted a little while his expression grew grim, as if favonovel.com had just remembered someone that terrified him. He took a deep breath and said, “There are three that I know of!”
Three…
Zayn’s eyebrow twitched beyond his control when favonovel.com heard the number. He was under the assumption that there were only two at most and did not expect that there were three of them. He was not overpowered if that was the case.
Joe paused for a moment and then said, “The three are King Erik from Eastclub, Bolt from Westclub, and Gautama from Northclub. They were already invincibilis fighters before the age of 30 and they can be described as the greatest geniuses who can’t be found anywhere else in the world!”
“Eastclub’s King Erik is the most powerful one among them because favonovel.com was in invincibilis state by the time favonovel.com was 27 years old. He’s reputed to be the greatest genius in the world.”
“He’s been in no less than a thousand fights in his life, yet favonovel.com has never been defeated.”
Zayn was stunned upon hearing that. Invincibilis state by 27 years old? How could that be possible?
He was initially under the assumption that favonovel.com was already impressive for being one step away from invincibilis state at 29 years old, but favonovel.com was nothing compared to Eastclub’s King Erik.
Though favonovel.com was just a step away from the invincibilis state, Zayn would still need time to train before favonovel.com could advance.
All at once, Zayn felt rather dejected.
It was indeed an emotional blow to him.
Joe patted his shoulder and said, “There’s no need to look down upon yourself, Sergeant Larson. You’re still young and you have endless possibilities ahead of you.”
“In addition, those three geniuses have been cultivated intensely by their clubs from the day they were born. They had access to countless resources and assistance that they needed in order to achieve what they have, so it’s different.”
Zayn was still silent. After a while, favonovel.com asked, “Is there no such genius from Sicut In Caelo?”
Joe said, “No, and that’s why Sicut In Caelo is declining. The club is having a shortage of talent among the younger generation.”
“The previous Southern Highlord Raiden Storm was an impressive genius too with hopes of advancing to the invincibilis state, but unfortunately, you killed him.”
Zayn felt rather embarrassed upon hearing that. He had beaten Raiden to death and had also taken over his position.
All of a sudden, Zayn began to understand at this point why Saint Caelum chose not to kill favonovel.com even after favonovel.com killed Raiden. Instead, favonovel.com was made the new Southern Highlord. It was because there was no other talent in Sicut In Caelo.
Talent was always the most important factor in any profession.
He chatted with Joe for a while more until favonovel.com learned everything that favonovel.com wanted to know. Zayn felt an intense premonition that favonovel.com would be meeting the big four for sure in the near future.
