Chapter 85: Unfathomable Terrifying Talent, Never Willing to Submit to Others

After seeing the information released by the Celestial Pivot Bureau, netizens had initially been excited, eager to learn the identity and all the Multiverse Treasures of the subject—but after reading the bureau’s announcement, they were left momentarily bewildered.

The comment section’s tone gradually shifted from “Aaaah!” to “????”

“Wait, is this file serious?”

“His strength is fine, his ranking is fine, even acquiring the Multiverse character template is fine—but it shouldn’t be Wang Quan Baye. Even if Wang Quan Baye hadn’t left the Circle, hadn’t lost his sword heart, and had fully matured in his prime, he still couldn’t have reached the fifth tier.”

“So the Celestial Pivot Bureau is saying he might surpass the Wang Quan Baye template itself—but that’s even more absurd. How can a person from the real world, after acquiring a Multiverse character template, directly surpass the template’s own limits? Is that even possible?”

“Someone who independently awakened the Wang Quan Sword Intent less than ten days after obtaining the Wang Quan Baye template—wouldn’t it be normal for such a person to have terrifying talent?”

“Even if that’s true, it’s still insane. Even without the Multiverse template, someone with this level of cultivation talent could still become a powerhouse, right?”

“I wouldn’t dare give my novel’s protagonist such an overpowered advantage—even I think this is too much. Reality sometimes really is weirder than fiction.”

“.”

The feeling all previous Celestial Pivot Bureau members had experienced upon viewing Ye Xuan’s file was now finally felt by others—and because Ye Xuan had reached the fifth tier, their shock was even greater than that of the bureau’s own members.

He independently awakened the Wang Quan Sword Intent in less than ten days after obtaining the Wang Quan Baye template, and within no more than three months, surpassed the peak combat power of the Wang Quan Baye character himself, entering the fifth tier.

Even in a novel, writing it like this would get the protagonist accused of having an absurdly overpowered talent cheat.

“No wonder the Celestial Pivot Bureau could say that Ye Xuan’s refusal to join was a loss for them—he’s a true cultivation monster who reached the fifth tier through his own talent, using the template as a stepping stone; in terms of cultivation talent alone, Blue Star probably can’t produce anyone stronger.”

“That’s hard to say. After all, humanity is vast—someone even more talented could still emerge. But right now, there’s certainly no one stronger than him.”

“I’ve seen people grow stronger after acquiring Multiverse Treasures, but I’ve never seen anyone surpass the very limits of the Multiverse Treasure itself through pure personal talent—plus, from the video, you couldn’t tell he had the Wang Quan Baye template. If you hadn’t said it, I’d have thought he was Ao Lai San Shao.”

“To be fair, the way he looked at everything in the video—with that calm, almost indifferent gaze—I completely understand why he refused to join the Celestial Pivot Bureau.”

“Someone with such terrifying strength has no reason to submit to anyone else.”

Forget everything else—just look at the expression in Ye Xuan’s eyes in the video. Do you really think he sees any difference between humans and mutated creatures?”

Anyone with wealth, status, or power—even just one of those—might not even treat ordinary people as human beings. How much less so a fifth-tier powerhouse, a being like a god?”

Refusing the Celestial Pivot Bureau’s invitation is perfectly normal—there’s actually no reason at all for him to join.”

What does the Celestial Pivot Bureau even have to offer that could attract someone like him?”

They clearly have no idea at all.”

“I can finally say it now—I was bursting to tell you all. You have no idea how shocked we were when we first saw Ye Xuan’s file; we immediately concluded that even without the Multiverse Treasure, he’d become one of the strongest in Greater Xia.”

“Now our guess has come true—his strength has already surpassed the power granted by the Multiverse character template. But the speed at which this happened… it’s just too fast.”

One Celestial Pivot Bureau member wrote in the comments: “Now that there’s no need to hide it anymore, and Hangcheng’s Celestial Pivot Bureau is even actively promoting Ye Xuan, this isn’t even slacking off on the job.”

“Are you a member of the Celestial Pivot Bureau?”

Someone asked him after reading his comment.

“More precisely, I’m a member of the Hangcheng Celestial Pivot Bureau. Multiverse Treasure holders on the Supernatural List belong to different local bureaus. Unless explicitly permitted, files of Multiverse Treasure holders from other regions are not accessible to outsiders.”

The Hangcheng Celestial Pivot Bureau member replied without concealment.

This can’t be casually disclosed—otherwise the public might assume every Celestial Pivot Bureau member can see information about supernaturals and Multiverse Treasure holders from other regions. In reality, only the local bureau, besides the Capital Celestial Pivot Headquarters, can access such data.

“Holy crap, so that’s how it works? Then besides Ye Xuan, does Hangcheng have any other Multiverse Treasure holders we don’t know about?”

As soon as people read his comment, someone immediately asked.

“Even if there are, I still can’t say.”

“Except for a very few cases where the supernaturals have unique abilities or the Multiverse Treasure holders themselves refuse to disclose their information, we generally don’t hide anything.”

“There’s definitely no one else as strong as Ye Xuan.”

“But if you’re curious, I can tell you one thing you don’t know.”

Hangcheng’s Celestial Pivot Bureau does have another Multiverse Treasure holder—but the individual refuses to let the bureau reveal any information, so even though they know, they absolutely cannot speak of it.

But there is one thing I can mention.

“Quick, quick, my curiosity just jumped out of my chest!”

“If it’s something you can say, it’s obviously not a secret—but if it’s not a secret, why didn’t we know? Don’t you bureau members ever leak stuff online?”

“You guys are all such liars—you won’t say anything unless we ask, right!”

Everyone’s curiosity was ignited; one after another, they urged him to speak.

“Gu Che, Lu Jing, Lin Ruoxi, and others all challenged Ye Xuan in the past—and all of them were knocked to the ground.”

“Hardly any of them lasted a minute.”

“But even back then, the gap between Ye Xuan and them was already enormous. To us, the result was perfectly normal, so nobody paid attention.”

This wasn’t a secret within the Hangcheng Celestial Pivot Bureau—they’d all watched the surveillance videos of them getting beaten senseless.

But since everyone knew Ye Xuan’s strength, and knew Gu Che, Lu Jing, and the others were utterly outmatched, they took the beatings as inevitable and never mentioned them online.

Even so, the news still sparked a frenzy online.

Ye Xuan was unaware of the online commotion—and even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

They didn’t know he possessed a system, so they naturally attributed his current strength to his talent alone. In truth, his talent played only a minor role.
