Chapter 3483: The Third Bout

Not only was Duan Ling Tian amused by Tang San Pao, but Zhang Tian You and the others were amused and speechless as well. Was this behavior appropriate for someone who possessed the strength of a Five Star God of War before reaching the age of 1,000? How could he be so blunt and shameless?

“You’re keeping me guessing again!” Tang San Pao was annoyed by Duan Ling Tian’s reply. However, he quickly calmed down and said, “Forget it. We won’t be facing each other so soon anyway. I’ll be able to judge for myself if your opponents manage to force you to reveal your strength. At that time, I’ll be able to decide if I should forfeit my match with you…”

Even Duan Ling Tian was rendered speechless by Tang San Pao’s behavior.

Subsequently, Tang Sao Pao shifted his attention to Ling Jue Yun. “Out of all of us, only Ling Jue Yun has yet to battle…”

…

After two bouts of battles, Ling Jue Yun’s name finally appeared. His opponent’s name was Jiang Yu Heng.

Duan Ling Tian and the others learned about Jiang Yu Heng’s strength through the conversations in their surroundings.

Although the participants’ details were listed by the Title Temple, Duan Ling Tian naturally could not remember every single participant. He only remembered those stronger or comparable to a Four Star God of War, and Jiang Yu Heng was not among them.

“Finally, it’s Jiang Yu Heng’s turn. He was already as strong as a Three Star God of War a decade ago so he must be stronger now…”

“Jiang Yu Heng is a top prodigy in the First Celestial Pavilion, a heaven-grade force in the Blazing Heaven. At slightly over 800 years old, his strength is speculated to be that of a Three Star God of War. Many people believe he’ll be as strong as a Four Star God of War before turning 1,000 years old.”

“On the other hand, Ling Jue Yun is a sectless cultivator from the Wind Prop Heaven.”

“Although he’s a sectless cultivator, he’s the strongest among the young geniuses the Title Temple in the Wind Prop Heaven brought here. Moreover, during the second round of the Battle of the Geniuses, you could see how terrifying he was when killing someone comparable to a top Two Star God of War. At the very least, he’s as strong as a Three Star God of War.”

“Those young geniuses who came from the Wind Prop Heaven have said that Ling Jue Yun is as strong as a top Three Star God of War. There’s a chance he’s as strong as Four Star God of War!”

The crowd seemed knowledgeable about Ling Jue Yun. Clearly, they had asked around about him.

…

Ling Jue Yun stood in the battle ring across from his opponent, Jiang Heng Yu.

Jiang Heng Yu was a solemn young man dressed in fine robes.

The solemn Jiang Heng Yu and aloof Ling Jue Yun silently faced each other.

Swoosh!

Without any warning, Jiang Heng Yu made the first move. He brought his Celestial Weapon that resembled a small and exquisite cauldron out before he tossed it up into the sky.

Flames surged around the cauldron immediately as it rapidly began to increase in size. When it finally shot toward Ling Jue Yun and dropped from above, it looked like a live volcano.

Ling Jue Yun remained expressionless when faced with the gigantic cauldron. When the cauldron dropped down, his death doppelganger that was shrouded in dragon-like black mist appeared immediately.

Ling Jue Jun’s doppelganger shot toward the cauldron fearlessly.

Bang!

A loud explosion rang in the air when Ling Jue Yun’s doppelganger collided with the giant cauldron. Flame surged and shrouded the death doppelganger soon after.

At the same time, Jiang Heng Yu’s expression was grim, and veins could be seen popping up on his forehead. It seemed like he was attacking with all his might at this moment.

“Did he manage to suppress Ling Jue Yun?”

Suddenly…

Roar!

The death doppelganger let out a fierce roar as it flew out of the surging flames’ reach. Its bloodshot eyes looked terrifying as death aura began to surge around him before transforming into countless swords ray that put out the flames.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Following that, the death doppelganger gathered all the death aura around its fist before it punched the giant cauldron.

The giant cauldron that had lost its flame was sent flying with a loud bang.

Jiang Heng Yu, who was controlling the cauldron from afar, spit out a mouthful of blood immediately as he staggered backward. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper at this moment.

“I’ve lost.” Jiang Heng Yu raised his trembling hand and retrieved the cauldron that had shrunk to the size of his palm before putting it away.

In just a blink of an eye, Ling Jue Yun won his match with Jiang Heng Yu before the others even managed to figure out what was going on.

Only a few astute young geniuses knew Jiang Heng Yu had attacked without holding back earlier but was still unable to stop Ling Jue Yun. Not only that, but Ling Jue Yun had easily defeated Jiang Heng Yu with just a strike. From the beginning until the end, Ling Jue Yun did not move at all nor did he use his Celestial Weapon; his doppelganger alone was enough to defeat Jiang Heng Yu.

“Previously, it’s speculated that Ling Jue Yun possessed the strength of a top Three Star God of War. However, after this match, I’m sure he’s a top Four Star God of War at least.”

“That’s right! An ordinary Four Star God of War won’t be able to dispel Jiang Heng Yu’s attack with so much ease!”

The crowd’s eyes were glued to Ling Jue Yun as he returned to his seat next to Duan Ling Tian.

“Ling Jue Yun seems close to Duan Ling Tian…”

“That’s right. They’ve been together since the start of the Battle of the Geniuses…”

“Duan Ling Tian, Ling Jue Yun, Tang San Pao, and Su Li… That group is filled with monstrous talents!”

“As the saying goes, ‘Birds of a feather flock together…”

After Ling Jue Yun won his first battle, Duan Ling Tian and his friends gained even more attention.

On the other hand, Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, and He Jian Yi felt the pressure of sitting with the four talented geniuses as the crowd whispered among themselves.

After a while, the first bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses finally came to an end.

Apart from Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, Ling Jue Yun, and Tang San Pao, there were a few more young geniuses who had performed brilliantly. Among them were Zhong Gui Yu, a sectless cultivator from the Boundless Heaven who stunned the crowd during his match. Then, there was Yu Dong Fang, the third true disciple of Gongsun Xuanyuan, the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven. However, Yu Dongfan’s true strength had not been determined since his opponent was weaker than him.

Currently, only Zhong Gui Yu and Tang San Pao had revealed strength comparable to a Five Star God of War due to their opponents possessing the strength of a Four Star God of War. The others only revealed strength comparable to a Four Star God of War at most. Needless to say, there were more participants with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War; they had just hidden their strength.

Now that the first bout of the fourth round of the Battle of the Geniuses has come to an end, Xu Kong Hai said, “The second bout of the fourth round will take place after three days…”

Although three days were short, they were enough for those injured young geniuses to recover.

…

After three days…

The crowd could not wait for the second bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses to commence. They grew even more excited when they realized many of the outstanding participants had yet to show their full strength since they were mostly assigned to weaker opponents unlike Zhong Gui Yu and Tang Sang Pao.

Alas, the matches were not particularly exciting during the second bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

In the end, the 75 young geniuses with mediocre performances were eliminated while the other 75 outstanding young geniuses, including Duan Ling Tian, would continue to advance.

“It seems like the Title Temple intends to save the best for last… It seems like they’re trying to determine the strength of the participants and select the strongest to battle at the end…” Zhang Tian You said.

“Indeed.” Wang Ting nodded.

For the third bout of the fourth round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, Ling Jue Yun, and Tang San Pao did not have to fight anyone.
