This person, among the twenty-four geniuses of the Eight Great Noble Families, ranks even higher than Xue Feng. Xue Feng's true strength places him around the seventh or eighth position among these twenty-four geniuses. Generally, those ranked in the top ten would claim they are contenders for the top five.
However, in reality, those whose true strength lies within the top five definitely have a substantial edge over Xue Feng.
Take the person at present, named Xuan Rui. He is a genuine top five talent. Among the twenty-four geniuses, he ranks fifth.
This fifth place is confirmed through actual testing during previous competitions. He is a bona fide top-five contender.
But that's just it—fifth.
Each person ahead of him in rank possesses even greater strength.
Nevertheless, to be ranked fifth among so many geniuses from the Eight Great Families of the Duowen Divine Kingdom means that his talent is undoubtedly among the very top of his generation.
