Chapter 1091
"Senior, there are preconditions regarding how many stars one can surpass . " Ling Han thought for a moment, before continuing, "Take me, for example . If I meet someone who's nine stars above me… let's call them Person A . Person A hasn't practiced any techniques to defend against divine sense attacks . Thus, if I use the Seven Kill Subduing Soul Technique to attack Person A and suppress their battle prowess, my chance of defeating them is at least 50% .
"In such a case, I would have the ability to surpass nine stars .
"However, if I meet another person—let's call them Person B—and their battle prowess is only eight stars above mine, it's still extremely likely that I'll lose if they're someone who has practiced techniques to defend against divine sense attacks .
"In such a case, I wouldn't even have the ability to surpass eight stars .
"However, if Person B hasn't practiced divine sense attacks, they'll naturally be unable to defeat Person A . This leads to a strange cycle—I can defeat Person A, Person A can defeat Person B, and Person B can defeat me . As such, I really don't know how to rate my battle prowess . "
Old Man Xu laughed heartily, and said, "Very well, very well indeed! You're already able to consider such kinds of scenarios . Just like how the Shattering Void Tier is determined by power, the battle prowess of the Immortal levels is also built upon power . After all, power is the absolute fundamental .
"When talking about star surpassing geniuses, power is the measurement that's used, not battle prowess .
"Of course, having more power doesn't necessarily guarantee victory . There's nothing surprising about this . Thus, when talking about star surpassing geniuses, we're simply measuring one's battle prowess from the perspective of their power . In any case, power is the most important attribute .
"Without power, everything else is useless . "
Ling Han nodded in agreement . If two people possessed the same power, yet they practiced different secret techniques of varying might, it was only natural that there would be significant differences in their strength .
This had nothing to do with whether one was a genius or not, nor did it have anything to do with how much effort one exerted . Rather, it had everything to do with the secret techniques and cultivation techniques that one practiced .
By this measure, Ling Han was a five-star genius . However, this wasn't his limit . He noticed that his power was still growing at a rate that exceeded his cultivation level, and there was a possibility that it had reached six stars .
"When you were at the Shattering Void Tier, you attained a power of 20 stars," Old Man Xu said . "This means that you reached a level of perfection in the previous tier . Otherwise, there's no way you could have reached 20 Stars of the Shattering Void Tier . However, if you cultivate to the peak stage of the consummate level of the Mountain River Tier just like this, your power will only be able to surpass six stars at most . "
Six stars—was this not impressive enough?
Five-star geniuses only existed in legends . In fact, there was a possibility that such legendary geniuses relied on secret techniques, and were unable to reach such a height with their own abilities .
"Heh, lad, the vast nature of the universe is beyond your wildest imaginations! In the Immortal Realm, prodigies are nothing rare!" Old Man Xu shook his head, and continued, "When I was young, I once traveled far and wide, and witnessed countless prodigies . Only then did I realize that I had been watching the sky from a well . "
Ling Han nodded, and said, "Please enlighten me, Senior!"
A satisfied smile appeared on Old Man Xu's face . This young man was neither arrogant nor impatient . It was no wonder that his cultivation was so fast and outstanding . A look of reminiscence flashed across his face, and it was a long time before he said, "The limit of cultivation should be 10 stars!"
Pu!
Ling Han almost choked . Five-star geniuses were already the things of legends, yet he was being told that the limit was actually 10 stars? Moreover, the 10 stars that Old Man Xu spoke of was definitely in terms of power alone, and not the result of practicing secret techniques .
Was this possible? 10 stars?
He was already freakish enough, having cultivated each of his cultivation levels to a perfect state . However, just as Old Man Xu had said, he could only reach six stars at most . This was only a tad more than halfway to 10 stars .
"If you want to challenge cultivators a major tier above you, then you must become a 10-star genius!" Old Man Xu spoke unhurriedly, and continued, "This is a gulf that even nine-star geniuses can only look up to . Even if you're a nine-star genius at the peak stage of the consummate level of the Mountain River Tier, you can only lower your head before those at the early stage of the low extreme of the Sun Moon Tier .
