97: The third round, the ring match, begins!

It was at this moment that Qi Feng, the Dean of Heavenly God Academy, slowly spoke from the void.

“Everyone, to be able to enter the third round of the Genius Competition, you are all the most top-tier Pride of the Heavens in my Dao Xuan World, but it is still far from enough if you want to enter the Immortal Ancient World and compete with the Pride of the Heavens from other realms.”

“Therefore, this third round of the Genius Competition is about selecting the best of the best, choosing one hundred individuals to represent the Dao Xuan World in the Immortal Ancient World and contend with the various Pride of the Heavens.”

“Immortal Ancient World, I believe you have all heard of it. It contains countless opportunities. Whether you can grasp this Opportunity depends on your own fortune.”

“As for the rules of the third round, it will be a擂台賽 (arena competition).”

“Later, you will enter the Sumeru Realm, which has a total of one hundred arenas. You can compete with each other, and after half a day, the Pride of the Heavens remaining on the arenas will be the top one hundred, who will represent the Dao Xuan World in the Immortal Ancient World.”

“As for the specific ranking of the top one hundred, it will be a free-for-all, with rankings based on your performance in the arena competition. The more victories you have, the higher your ranking will naturally be; the more defeats, the lower your ranking will naturally fall.”

“This is easy to understand, do you all get it?”

Qi Feng’s voice was grand, echoing between heaven and earth, causing the void to tremble.

At the same time, Qi Feng’s words stirred the emotions of countless Cultivators.

“Dean, we understand!”

“Let’s begin, I can’t wait!”

“I must get into the top one hundred!”

Many Cultivators below responded loudly to Qi Feng, while also cheering themselves on.

“Good, everyone, I look forward to your performance.”

As his voice fell, Qi Feng waved his large hand.

The Sumeru Realm appeared!

Seeing the Sumeru Realm reappear, the ten thousand Cultivators who entered the third round transformed into streaks of rainbow light and swept into it, eager to immediately contend for their own arena.

“Arena battle, this is a true man’s contest, who else but me?!”

Celestial Devil Son, enveloped in thick demonic energy, let out a hearty laugh and entered the Sumeru Realm.

“Time for a big battle!” Zhao Heng shouted.

“First, get into the top one hundred, then fight for ranking,” Lin Tian muttered to himself.

“In this era of great contention, stars shine brightly, but before me, you will all fade into obscurity.”

The Immortal Palace Successor radiated immortal light, incredibly dazzling.

Seeing that many Cultivators had already entered the Sumeru Realm, Su Xuan and Leng Ruoli exchanged glances and also entered.

Both of them were relatively calm, not as excited or nervous as the other Pride of the Heavens.

After all, with their strength, passing the third round of this Genius Competition and gaining qualification to enter the Immortal Ancient World was as simple as eating and drinking; it was just a formality.

This time, the Sumeru Realm was a vast and boundless space.

In the void, one hundred massive arenas stood tall, emitting incredibly brilliant light, a truly spectacular sight.

These one hundred arenas were the objects of contention for the ten thousand Cultivators.

After half a day, those who remained on them would be considered among the top one hundred, possessing the qualification to enter the Immortal Ancient World.

As the ten thousand Cultivators entered, an incredibly intense fighting spirit suddenly surged within the space of the Sumeru Realm.

In the air, a scent of gunpowder permeated.

It was as if, in the next second, a world-shaking battle was about to erupt!

Without further ado, some Cultivators had already rushed onto the arenas.

There were only one hundred arenas, so the competition was undoubtedly fierce.

“The final ranking is based on the number of victories, which means I can’t waste time… It seems I should first occupy an arena and accumulate wins.”

Celestial Devil Son muttered to himself.

Then, he transformed into a ball of demonic energy and directly swept towards a nearby arena.

The Immortal Palace Successor, Lin Tian, Zhao Heng, and Azure Dragon King did the same, choosing an arena, seizing the initiative, and waiting for other Pride of the Heavens to come and contend.

“Leng Ruoli, be careful, don’t get hurt.”

Su Xuan looked at Leng Ruoli and gently reminded her.

“Within the Dao Xuan World, among the younger generation, no one can harm me.”

To this, Leng Ruoli merely replied indifferently.

Then, her figure vanished from her original spot.

Looking again, she had already appeared on an arena.

Su Xuan shook his head and smiled.

Leng Ruoli’s confidence was exactly like his own.

No wonder she was his Wife?

The next second.

Su Xuan’s figure flickered, and he also appeared on an arena.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The battle was on the verge of breaking out. Within the Sumeru Realm, runes intertwined, magical power surged, and the void was constantly torn apart.

For a time, the heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

All ten thousand were the most top-tier Pride of the Heavens within the Dao Xuan World, mastering various divine abilities and precious arts, creating an incredibly dazzling combat scene.

This was an incredibly spectacular battle!

Outside the Sumeru Realm, one hundred screens appeared in the void, corresponding to the one hundred arenas.

At this moment, countless Cultivators stared intently at the scenes on the screens, some cheering for the Pride of the Heavens from their own factions, while others paid attention to the dark horses they favored.

“As expected of a golden age! Celestial Devil Son, the Immortal Palace Successor, Lin Tian, Zhao Heng, and Su Xuan, as well as that woman… This generation is truly filled with shining stars!”

An Elder from a major power exclaimed with emotion.

Any one of these several Pride of the Heavens, placed in a declining era, would be strong enough to be called the strongest, an absolute existence destined to achieve enlightenment.

Yet in the current era, they seemed less dazzling.

“These few are indeed formidable, the most top-tier Pride of the Heavens among the younger generation, far surpassing other Cultivators.”

Many important figures felt gratified by the strength of the Dao Xuan World’s Pride of the Heavens.

The Pride of the Heavens were the future of the Dao Xuan World.

If the Pride of the Heavens were strong, the future of the Dao Xuan World would also be more glorious!

“Su Xuan performed too dominantly in the last round. In this round, no one dares to challenge him… If this continues, Su Xuan might not get first place…”

Qi Feng muttered to himself.

He had been paying attention to Su Xuan.

For Su Xuan, he didn’t even glance at Zhao Heng from his own academy.

Under his observation, half a day passed at Su Xuan’s arena, and not a single Cultivator went up to challenge him!

Undoubtedly, this was because Su Xuan was too strong, causing countless Pride of the Heavens to feel despair.

Within the Sumeru Realm, seeing that no one came to challenge him, Su Xuan himself realized this problem.

He looked at the intense battle happening on the nearby arena.

Then he looked at his own arena, which was deserted.

Su Xuan’s face immediately darkened.

Were these guys really that afraid of him?

Was he some kind of demon?

Then, Su Xuan let out a long sigh.

“Since you won’t come to me, I’ll come to you.”
