Chapter 2800 A New Grade
Although this wasn't the first time that the news of Rui having fought with a Martial Sage had spread through the world like wildfire, it was certainly the first time that so many Martial Sages of different Sage-level powerhouses swore by it.
That was what set it apart from the Sekigahara and especially the Terra incident. Those incidents had more wiggle room in so far as the people who heard of them. There was room to believe that the Sages were holding back, or at the very least, trying not to kill him. It served as cope for the Martial World to slightly rationalize these events as extraordinarily impressive, but slightly exaggerated.
This time, such a thing was impossible.
The reports highlight and emphasize how the Martial Sage was trying to kill Rui from the very first attack. The testimony came from multiple peak Sages from different polities, the highest authorities on Martial Art after the Martial Transcendents. It sent waves across human civilization as nations began wondering whether the Dawnbringer belonged in human civilization or in the Beast Domain with the other Sages.
"That's absurd! he's just a Martial Master; he has no business being anywhere near the quasi-transcendent beasts and monsters!"
"You should judge people by their results, not by their rank. In the past, the overlap between those two was absolute, but the Dawnbringer has since shattered that when he battled a Martial Sage to a draw."
"Even if he is that strong, it doesn't mean that he can achieve that level of power without any drawbacks. It's possible that he's using forbidden techniques to bridge the gap between Realms."
"Forbidden techniques are techniques that are too dangerous to the user due to permanent damage or high probability of death. He has fought a Martial Sage three times now!"
"He might just have gotten lucky to avoid any permanent damage!"
The Martial World grew divisive over the matter as the issue of Master Rui's power level was something that could no longer be swept under the bed. With a detailed account of the battle from none other than peak Sages, each and every one of them has extremely precise descriptions as to how Rui kept up with a Martial Sage and knocked out a Martial Sage with one attack.
It was beyond shocking, almost fictional.
"That is an absurd suggestion!" the other official roared. "You will reduce the other Martial Master to decimal points if you make the Dawnbringer grade thirty! You will have to start grading other Martial Masters with grade 0.1 or grade 0.2!"
"Nonsense! We will just be acknowledging reality!"
"You are stupid!"
"No, you!"
The heated discussions across the entire Martial World on how to quantify the Dawnbringer's Martial prowess continued as they struggled to see eye to eye. It wasn't until a rather simple suggestion was made by one of the junior officials that the matter was finally put to rest.
"...Why don't we just grade him as grade sixty?"
The entire office froze at that suggestion.
"It is believed that the gap between the strongest and weakest of Masters should be similar to the gap between the strongest of Masters and weakest of Sages; in that case, we can just give him an honorary grade sixty just for him for having fought a Martial Sage to a draw."
"...That is indeed the most sensible suggestion."
"...An elegant solution that gives him the respect he is due."
"...And is the least disruptive too."
And thus, the solution was approved rapidly as the Dawnbringer was granted a special grade of grade-sixty officially to acknowledge his extraordinary Martial Power, and order was returned to the grading system of Martial Artists.
