  “What’s going on? What happened just now?”


  “Heavenly Sword Marquis admitted defeat. Duan Yu won!”


  “As expected, the winner is still Duan Yu. The battle just now was so intense. I thought Duan Yu would lose.”


  “How is that possible? Duan Yu was the strongest in this genius banquet, and Heavenly Sword Marquis was only ranked 76th when he challenged the path of reincarnation. How could he be a match for Duan Yu? However, for him to be able to fight Duan Yu to this extent, he’s not bad at all.”


  The surrounding spectators were all discussing.

  They had just seen the huge thunder hell and heard the sounds of battle, but they did not know what was going on inside.

  Now that Jian Wushuang had admitted defeat, they naturally thought that Duan Yu had defeated Jian Wushuang head-on.

  However, what they did not know was that Duan Yu’s face was extremely ugly. He stared at Jian Wushuang who was walking out of the arena and could not calm down for a long time.

  At first, he did not take Jian wushuang seriously, but in the actual fight…Jian Wushuang’s strength completely shocked him.

  Especially in thunder hell, when Jian Wushuang used the ninth heaven of illusory sword, his swordsmanship was unbelievably fast. Even if he tried his best, he was completely suppressed.

  The nine sword shadows pressed down crazily. He could only withstand seven sword strikes. He could not withstand the eighth sword at all. However, at this critical moment, Jian Wushuang suddenly stopped and retreated.

  What happened next was what everyone saw. Jian Wushuang admitted defeat.

  “What happened?” Duan Yu’s eyes narrowed. “Could it be that his swordsmanship was not perfect and he could only perform the seventh strike?”


  “No.” Duan Yu immediately shook his head. “I had a very clear feeling just now. I don’t know if he could perform the ninth strike, but he did perform the eighth strike. It was about to hit my divine body, but he took it back at the critical moment.”


  “He lost on purpose!”


  On purpose.

  Duan Yu clenched his fists at the thought of this. He wanted to ask Jian Wushuang to stop, but Jian Wushuang had already left the battlefield. This made him feel extremely aggrieved, but he had nowhere to vent it.

  “This guy…”


  Duan Yu took a deep look at Jian Wushuang and walked down after a long while.

  In fact, Jian Wushuang did lose on purpose.

  He lost on purpose because he thought it was meaningless to defeat Duan Yu.

  ‘Too weak. Duan Yu is already recognized as the number one in this genius feast, but his strength is not even comparable to the three original palace geniuses I met in the White Bone Region. This genius feast is really meaningless,’ Jian Wushuang thought to himself.

  In fact, the level of geniuses in this genius feast was not low.

  After all, this was the largest genius feast in the first heaven. There were many geniuses at the level of a rank one True Saint, including some real geniuses.

  However, there was still a gap between geniuses and true geniuses.

  To put it bluntly, it could not be blamed that these geniuses were too weak. It should be said that Jian Wushuang was too strong and too abnormal!

  When he was in the endless territory, he was able to fight against a rank four True Saint with the battle strength of a rank one True Saint. Later, when he went to the blood north secret area, he obtained a great fortune and great opportunity. His strength soared again. Now, he…his battle strength had reached an extremely shocking level.

  Under such circumstances, the other geniuses naturally could not compare to him.

  In the void not far away, Bai Xiao and the other three gathered together. At this moment, their expressions were also somewhat unsightly.

  “This Heavenly Sword Marquis actually lost?” The red-haired man asked.

  “He lost on purpose. Although Duan Yu is powerful, he is definitely not his match. He just doesn’t want to reveal his strength, so he simply admitted defeat.” Bai Xiao’s voice was low and deep.

  “This is troublesome. We specially invited Senior Brother Xiong Tao to participate in this genius banquet, hoping that Senior Brother Xiong Tao would be able to meet him at this banquet, and then fight him one-on-one. Who would have thought that this Heavenly Sword Marquis wouldn’t even make a move at this genius banquet, and he directly admitted defeat.” The black-robed youth said.

  “There’s no other way. Since we can’t meet him at the genius banquet, we can only let Senior Brother Xiong Tao take the initiative to challenge him,” Bai Xiao said.

  “Take the initiative to challenge him?” Senior Brother Xiong Tao was more arrogant than anyone else. He agreed to participate in the genius banquet this time because he gave face to the lord of the hundred talents. Why would he take the initiative to challenge a genius of the same level?

  “It’s almost impossible. Moreover, even if he were willing, the Heavenly Sword Marquis might not agree,”said the beautiful woman in golden armor.

  “How would we know if we don’t try?” Bai Xiao shrugged.

  He had no choice.

  Xiong Tao was the number one first level True Saint in the Dao Palace. He was a true heaven’s favored son. He was proud in his heart and had high standards. There were often geniuses in the Dao Palace who wanted to challenge Xiong Tao, but Xiong Tao could not be bothered with them, because ordinary geniuses were not qualified for him to fight.

  Such a person wanted him to take the initiative to challenge a True Saint of the first rank of the same rank? Of course it was difficult!

  Unless that person’s strength was really very good and could make Xiong Tao want to fight, but Jian Wushuang did not show his true strength. How could Xiong Tao be interested?

  The third round of one-on-one matches in the genius feast was held at the same time.

  While Jian Wushuang and Duan Yu were fighting, on another battlefield, a brown-haired man, who was nearly three meters tall, stood with his arms crossed. Although there was someone in front of him…the brown-haired man’s eyes did not stop on his opponent, but on the battlefield between Jian Wushuang and Duan Yu.

  When he saw Jian Wushuang admit defeat, the brown-haired man’s eyes narrowed slightly.

  “Since he has admitted defeat, there is no need for me to continue participating in this genius feast.”


  The brown-haired man raised his hand and said, “I admit defeat!”


  His voice spread and caused a commotion in the surrounding void.

  This was because the brown-haired man had not fought with his opponent at all. Moreover, his opponent was not ranked high in the second round of the Samsara Road. He was ranked below 90th. Such a genius should be at the bottom in the third round of the Samsara battle, however, the brown-haired man directly admitted defeat.

  Of course, many people did not understand.

  However, the brown-haired man ignored the crowd and directly turned around and walked out of the battlefield.

  Jian Wushuang and Xiong Tao both admitted defeat voluntarily. Without them, the genius feast would naturally belong to Duan Yu.

  The final result was that Duan Yu won the first place in the genius feast and became famous in the Third Heaven.

  As for Jiu Luo, his strength was also considered to be at the bottom of the 100 geniuses in the third round. At the beginning of the third round, he met his first opponent and was eliminated.
