Chapter 3465 - The Third Round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses

“Tang San Pao is from the Profound Mystery Heaven?”

Duan Ling Tian shifted his eyes away from the Heavenly Emperor of the Pavilion Shaft Heaven’s two true disciples when he heard Su Li’s exclamation. He looked in the direction of Su Li’s gaze and read Tang San Pao’s description.

The description read:

From the Profound Mystery Heaven, based on his performance during the first round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, he’s speculated to be stronger than a Two Star God of War.

There were many among the 300 participants whose descriptions were very brief, making them seem rather mysterious.

Duan Ling Tian did not expect the young man who struck up a conversation with him during his first day here was pretty extraordinary. After briefly glancing through the 300 names and descriptions, he also discovered there were at least a dozen participants who were speculated to have strength comparable to a Four Star God of War. However, there was no mention of participants with strength comparable to a Five Star God of War or stronger.

Naturally, Su Li realized this as well. “There doesn’t seem to be anyone who has strength comparable to a Five Star God of War. However, since the strength of the participants in the descriptions is just speculations, it’s likely that some of those who have strength comparable to a Four Star God of War are hiding their strength and have strength comparable to a Five Star God of War…”

Duan Ling Tian nodded. “Those who know their true strength are probably dead or helping them keep it a secret…”

While Duan Ling Tian and Su Li were conversing, the others were fervently discussing among themselves as more and more people began to gather around the list of names in the sky.

As it grew more crowded, Duan Ling Tian gestured to Su Li to leave. On the way back, they ran into Tang San Pao who looked upset.

Tang San Pao asked unhappily, “Why didn’t you ask me to come along to look at the list of names?”

“You didn’t say anything about it…” Su Li replied with a perfunctory smile on his face.

Tang San Pao did not say anything else and left after he glared at Su Li.

Subsequently, Duan Ling Tian and Su Li returned to their respective wooden houses and waited 27 days for the third round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses, which would last much longer than the first and second rounds, to begin.

…

A month passed in just a blink of an eye.

The third round of the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses would begin as scheduled.

During the third round, those who passed the second round would be challenged by 700 participants who were eliminated. Needless to say, during the past month, there were some participants who were eliminated in the second round who had been carefully studying the list of 300 participants provided by the Title Temple. Most of them did not have much confidence in themselves, hence, they spent a lot of time studying the list of names.

During the third round, not only participants who were eliminated would be given a chance to challenge the 300 participants who passed the second round, but the 300 participants who lost a challenge could also challenge others if they were defeated. The number of people who would advance to the next round would still be 300, but there was no guarantee which 300 participants would advance to the next round. The round would only end once no more challenges were issued.

“10 duels will take place simultaneously during the third round, and yet, it’ll like take a few days before it ends…” Tang San Pao muttered to himself.

Duan Ling Tian and the others returned to the same seats they had chosen a month ago. Even He Jian Yi, who had been eliminated, was present. He Jian Yi had mentally prepared himself; he knew he would not go far in the competition. Therefore, he decided to treat this as a way to gain experience and observe the extraordinary young geniuses from various Devata Realms. Moreover, he knew this was a rare opportunity; not everyone was allowed to watch the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses.

Naturally, He Jian Yi was not the only one with such a thought. There were many geniuses who were here to watch and learn as well.

At this moment, Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple appeared in the air above the venue. After surveying his surroundings, he said, “The third round of the Battle of the Geniuses will begin today. 300 participants will be selected to advance to the fourth round. Unlike the second round, you can only depend on your own strength during the third round. Those who relied on others’ strength to pass the second round won’t pass this round since it’ll be a one-on-one battle. I believe all of you are already familiar with the rules so I won’t mention them anymore…”

Xu Kong Hai raised his hand after he finished speaking.

The list of 300 names appeared immediately in the sky.

The young geniuses shifted their eyes to the list of names immediately.

Xu Kong Hai continued to say, “This list of names is conjured by the members of the Title Temple using the Mirror Image Formation. The names on the list will change every moment, depending on the results of the duels. Everyone can issue a challenge thrice. Those who lost all three challenges won’t advance to the fourth round of the Battle of the Geniuses.”

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Emperors of various Devata Realm and the high-ranking officials of the Title Temple branches, who had yet to see the list of names, were looking through the list as well.

“There’s no one who’s suspected to have strength on par with a Five Star God of War?”

“It seems like these kids are quite skilled at hiding their strength…”

“Based on the previous Battles of the Geniuses, this one should be interesting as well. These kids who hid their strength will definitely show their true strength now.”

“The duels will be exciting to watch!”

Most of the Heavenly Emperors of the Devata Realms had participated in the Devata Realms’ Battle of the Geniuses when they were young. Most of them were rather excited to watch the third round.

At this time, Xu Kong Hai’s voice rang in the air again.

“10 participants may now make their way to the battle ring and call out the participants they want to challenge.”

As soon as Xu Kong Hai finished speaking, one of the young geniuses flew out. His lips were curled up in a sneer as he looked at a group of three participants sitting in the spectator seats.

“I, Huang Bin, from the Spirit Overarching Heaven, challenge Qiu Yun Jin from the Wandering Heaven to a duel.”

The three young men’s expressions darkened immediately.

When Qiu Yun Jin did not respond, Huang Bin scoffed and said, “Weren’t you very brave when you ganged up on me? Are you afraid now?”

At this time, one of the participants exclaimed, “I remember those three people! One of them is slightly weaker than a titled Celestial Emperor while two of them are comparable to an ordinary One Star God of War! On the other hand, Huang Bin is comparable to a top One Star God of War if I’m not mistaken.”

The other participants began to discuss among themselves upon hearing those words.

“That’s right. During the second round, the trio joined forces and eliminated him!”

“It seems like he can’t wait to seek revenge. Which one is Qiu Yun Jin? Is he the one whose strength is slightly weaker than a titled Celestial Emperor or is he one of the two who have strength comparable to an ordinary One Star God of War?”

“If I were him, I’d definitely challenge the weakest one among the trio!”

While the participants were discussing among themselves, Xu Kong Hai said loudly, “Once a challenge has been issued, the participants who’re challenged have 10 breaths to enter the battle ring. Otherwise, they’ll be considered forfeiting the duel. Qiu Yun Jin, you have five breaths left to make up your mind.”

One of the three young men scoffed and said, “How shameless for someone with strength comparable to a titled Celestial Emperor to challenge someone who’s weaker!”

Huang Bin sneered. “What a hypocrite! Were you not being shameless when you ganged up on me previously?”

In the end, Qiu Yun Jin forfeited and Huang Bin took over Qiu Yun Jin’s place on the list of 300 names in the sky.

Before Huang Bin returned to his seat, he looked at the trio and said icily, “If it weren’t for the rules, I would have eliminated all three of you. Of course, if you have the guts, you can challenge me after this!”

The trio could only fume in anger.

After returning to his seat, Huang Bin said to the participants around, “Hey, guys, you can challenge them. Their strength is only that of an ordinary One Star God of War.”

The trio was further infuriated upon hearing Huang Bin’s words. As expected, the remaining two were challenged and defeated soon after.

The two participants who defeated the two participants with strength on par with an ordinary One Star God of War smiled at Huang Bin and expressed their gratitude.

“Thank you, Brother Huang Bin.”

“Brother, thank you.”

Once a duel ended, another would start immediately. There would always be 10 duels going on simultaneously.

After 15 minutes, a young man in a dark yellow long robe flew out and pointed in the direction where Duan Ling Tian and the others were seated as he said, “I, Sikong Yu Fang from the Swift Blessing Heaven, challenge Wang Ting from the Solitary Destructive Heaven to a duel!”

Wang Ting who was sitting behind Duan Ling Tian remained calm but her gaze was solemn. It looked like she was prepared for this. When she flew out, more and more people recognized her.

“Wan Ting? She’s that woman who achieved a breakthrough during the first round, right?”

“That’s right!”
