It depends on what you mean by surpass. If you mean that he succeeded his training, yes.
If you mean he can beat his master, HELL NO!
Hiko would face-rape everyone in the show, effortlessly. The succession technique was Hiko forwarning Kenshin to use the Amakakeru ryu no hirameki (Dragon flight of heaven) to cancel out his Kuzu-ryusen (Nine-headed dragon something-or-other) so that Kenshin wouldn't die. Definitely not a real fight.
