Caro Scott appeared in the Xileruo World.

Did I just die like that? Dying before even entering the final circle? Who the hell is that guy? So twisted!

Three hundred people rapidly converged, entering the final circle. Within a kilometer, they were all Heroes, spread out around the perimeter. None of them seemed intent on making a move. They all knew that those who made it into the final circle were definitely strong contenders.

Roskin Hogan stepped forward with a smile and said, "My name is Roskin Hogan. Those who can enter the final circle are all strong fighters. Now, about 300 of us remain, and roughly two hundred will be eliminated."

"Only the remaining hundred will qualify to participate in the Battle of Geniuses."

"As Heroes of the Alliance of All-Gods, we should unite to confront the Underworld Clan and the Corrupted Heroes. I have a proposal, and I wonder if you're interested."

The crowd looked at Roskin Hogan. Seeing no opposition, Roskin Hogan continued, "Participating in the Battle of Geniuses is very dangerous. Since more than two hundred people will be eliminated, those with weaker strength might as well stop here."

"One-on-one duels. Everyone gets one chance to pick an opponent. Win and you stay; lose and you're out of the preliminaries."

"This way, it's fair for everyone."

Jiang Chen just smiled and didn't speak.

Now, three hundred Heroes remained, and the rankings were already out. It was obvious that those ranked last would be at a disadvantage, as no one would challenge the top hundred. That meant the remaining two hundred contestants would be targets for challenges, fighting each other until many were culled. If it were a free-for-all melee, the outcome would be unpredictable. The three hundred combatants were of similar strength, all Third-stage professionals. Roskin Hogan must have been afraid of being eliminated in a melee. Of course, the others were afraid too; after all, in a melee, no one could guarantee their own safety. So, this proposal should be acceptable to everyone. At this point, no one would strike rashly. Once a move was made, it could lead to elimination. The battle would end once only a hundred remained.

"I agree with this proposal."

"I agree as well."

"At this point, our strengths are comparable, and no one will act rashly. One-on-one duels will ultimately decide the victors."

"I also agree."

Roskin Hogan nodded. "Since everyone has decided, then pick your opponents."

At this moment, Jiang Chen began walking towards the mountain.

The hundreds of people watched Jiang Chen's movements.

What a character! Is he trying to flee? Could he be a weakling? This is a good opportunity!

"You in the black robe, stop! I choose you."

"You, human with the Thin Sword! Don't think you can slip through unnoticed. I, Havish, formally challenge you!"

Is he from the Divine race? Seems like a human. Can a human even make it to the final circle? Did he get through by sheer luck?

Ji Ma chuckled knowingly. This guy is actually very strong, yet someone actually wants to challenge Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen turned back, smiled, and said, "Actually, I'm very strong. I just want to find a place to rest and watch you all fight. It would be best if you just ignored me."

"Is that so? I, Havish, challenge you! Come down and fight me!"

Jiang Chen shook his head. "Let's not!"

"You're scared! But since I've issued the challenge, you have no choice but to accept!"

Havish made the first move, charging towards Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen glanced at him.

Sword Blade - Storm...

A flash of white light, and Havish vanished instantly, clearly eliminated from the field.

An instant kill... Havish wasn't given any chance at all.

The expressions of the nearly three hundred remaining people turned solemn. Who is this guy?

Finally, someone recognized Jiang Chen.

"He's the Swordsman from Xileruo World who once killed a Son of God from the Difiled God Camp and single-handedly held off the million-strong Underworld Army!"

"What? It's actually him?"

"Indeed, it's him. The Thin Sword and his robe are his trademarks."

"Why is he here?"

"Obviously! He just reached the Second-stage, so of course he qualifies."

"Doesn't he have a Legendary Set?"

Ji Ma exclaimed inwardly, So this guy is that famous! Just his reputation alone is enough to startle these experts.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen and unconsciously took a step back. He killed a Son of God and single-handedly faced a million-strong army. They knew they couldn't handle someone like that; no one would be foolish enough to challenge him.

Only that idiot Havish thought he could bully him because he was human. The result was an instant kill.

"You all continue fighting," Jiang Chen said. "I'll just watch from the side. Of course, if anyone challenges me, I won't hesitate to act."

After speaking, Jiang Chen leaned back on a rock, silently pulled out a cigarette, and began to puff away, exhaling clouds of smoke.

The corners of the mouths of the many combatants twitched. Dammit... Is this guy really that arrogant?

At that moment, Jiang Chen sensed a killing intent and looked at a young man opposite him.

A blue-haired youth? Such intense killing intent... Does he have a grudge against me? I don't think I even know him! Could he be from the Carmen Family? No, the Carmen Family doesn't have such a formidable warrior. If not the Carmen Family, could it be the Bach Family? Eleanor's brother? The Bach Family hasn't made a move yet. Are they plotting something?

At this time, the young man looked away.

Jiang Chen memorized the youth's appearance. He didn't strike; there was no point in doing so here. It wouldn't be too late to make a move during the Battle of Geniuses. When it came to enemies, he never showed mercy.

Ji Ma walked up to Jiang Chen. "So you're really that strong."

"Just average."

Ji Ma thought, Dammit, would it kill you not to show off?!

She made up her mind to stand by Jiang Chen, as if wordlessly declaring to everyone that she was with him. This little ploy couldn't escape Jiang Chen's notice, but he didn't care. He continued to watch the drama unfold.

Seeing that no one was moving, Jiang Chen urged, "Hurry up and fight! I'm waiting to go home for dinner!"

Ji Ma stood beside him, trying not to laugh.

Such arrogance! He clearly doesn't take any of us seriously!

The remaining combatants were immediately enraged. They were of the Divine race, yet they were being berated by a human.

"Hmph, you're just one person! Do you really think we wouldn't gang up on you?"

"Too arrogant! How dare a mere human be so bold?"

"This guy is ranked number one. Why don't we join forces and eliminate him first?"

"Good idea."

"Let's attack together! What do you think?"

Jiang Chen activated his Wan Jian Gui Clan Mode and charged straight at the ones who had just spoken.

A flash of white light, and the dozen or so Heroes who had been about to attack were instantly killed.

Jiang Chen yawned. "Alright, I've helped you eliminate a dozen or so. The numbers have thinned again. You can start your battle now."

The remaining combatants retreated in terror, looking at him as if he were a fearsome enemy.

Jiang Chen stood up, a devilish smile playing on his lips. "Since you won't make a move, then I'll choose for you. We just need to get down to one hundred people, right? That's too easy."

Sword Qi filled the sky, dancing wildly.

Their only thought was to flee.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Countless streams of Sword Qi surged out. With innumerable flashes of white light, the number of participants plummeted.

[The preliminary round has ended.]

[You will be teleported out in three minutes...]

The remaining 99 people breathed a sigh of relief, thankful the ordeal was over. Otherwise, he would have killed all of them! Any so-called geniuses were like novices before him; he alone was more than enough to slaughter them all.
