Chapter 3479: The Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heavens True Disciple
Su Li stood unmoving, and his back was straight like a spear. At this time, the terrifying blood-red sword ray was colliding with Tuoba Pings domineering golden-green sword attack.
The two swords clashed with each other, appearing to be evenly matched. However, in the blink of an eye, the blood-red sword ray that was glowing like the sunset suddenly expanded. Its light was so bright that the golden-green sword seemed to be shrinking back in fear.
Argh!
A strange and miserable screech rang from the middle of the battle ring, causing chills to run up peoples spines.
Thats the voice of Tuoba Pings sword spirit!
Just as these words fell, the golden-green sword vanished.
Similarly, Tuoba Ping had disappeared as well and reappeared outside of the battle ring.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The barrier shook violently as the blood-red sword ray struck it, looking as though it was going to shatter at any moment. Nevertheless, in the end, it managed to withstand the attack.
Upon seeing this, realization dawned upon Duan Ling Tian. It seems like the attack of a Four Star God of War is the limit the barrier is able to withstand...
Su Li will be able to make it into the top 30... Duan Ling Tian was overjoyed when Su Li won the match.
After Su Lis breakthrough, he now possessed strength comparable to a Four Star God of War. Apart from the Heavenly Emperors and high-ranking officials of the Title Temple branches, many astute young geniuses could tell Su Li had a breakthrough. Even those who were unaware earlier could guess what had happened by now.
Hes only slightly over 600 years old but possesses the strength of a Four Star God of War. It seems like hes even more talented than Duan Ling Tian.
Thats right... Duan Ling Tians strength is only that of a Three Star God of War.
Although Duan Ling Tian had won previously, his opponent was only a Two Star God of War. Therefore, most of the people could only confirm he was stronger than a Three Star God of War.
It was not surprising people thought Su Li was stronger than Duan Ling Tian after watching Su Lis match.
Needless to say, Duan Ling Tian did not care about other peoples opinions of him.
Su Li, did you hide your strength earlier or did you have a breakthrough mid-battle? Tuoba Ping, who had crushed his jade token and left the battlefield earlier, asked with a bitter smile.
The few young geniuses who were still unaware of Su Lis breakthrough were taken aback and began to discuss among themselves.
What is Tuoba Ping saying? Did he think Su Li had a sudden breakthrough earlier?
Isnt that terrifying? Can you imagine how good his comprehension skill must be to have a sudden breakthrough?
Thats right... Hes really heaven-defying!
Meanwhile, Su Li replied to Tuoba Ping, Speaking of which, I have you to thank for it... I wouldnt have been able to break through so quickly if it werent for the pressure from your sword attack...
This confirmation caused an uproar again among the young geniuses even if most of them had already guessed it.
When Su Li returned to his seat, Duan Ling Tian asked with a smile, Su Li, you must be confident about making it into the top 30, right?
Su Li grinned. Senior Feng Qing Yangs efforts to teach me wouldve been in vain if I still couldnt enter the top 30 in the Battle of the Geniuses.
Hm? Duan Ling Tians eyes lit up upon hearing Su Lis words. Your breakthrough has something to do with my master?
Su Li nodded. His lips curled up into a smile as he said, I wouldnt have had a sudden breakthrough if Senior Feng Qing Yang didnt guide me previously... Of course, the pressure from Tuoba Pings attack played an important role as well. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian and asked, Duan Ling Tian, my current strength should be comparable to yours... right?
Duan Ling Tians current strength was still a mystery to Su Li. Before his breakthrough, he did not ask Duan Ling Tian this question since he knew he had to be weaker than Duan Ling Tian. However, after his breakthrough due to the law of destruction and gaining the strength of a Four Star God of War, he had become much more confident.
Duan Ling Tian smiled mysteriously and said, Youll know once we battle each other...
Ill be waiting then. Su Li nodded. Hints of fighting spirit burned in his eyes at this time.
At this moment, Tang San Pao gave Su Li a thumbs-up as he said, Su Li, youre amazing! You even broke through in the midst of a battle! It shouldnt be a problem for you to enter the top 30 now that you possess the strength of a Four Star God of War!
Su Li looked at Tang San Pao and nodded politely. Im sure youll enter the top 30 as well. In fact, Its likely that four people in our group will make it into the top 30...
Top 30? Tang San Pao was briefly stunned by Su Lis words. When he regained his senses, he shook his head and said, Su Li, my goal isnt to rank in the top 30. My goal is to rank in the top 3 in the Battle of the Geniuses!
Top 3?
Not only Su Li, but Duan Ling Tian and the others were surprised by Tang San Paos reply as well. They did not expect him to be so ambitious.
Brother San Pao. At this moment, Zhang Tian You reached out and patted Tang San Paos shoulder before he shook his head and said with a smile on his face, Its good to be ambitious, but its important to be realistic as well. In my opinion, you should aim to enter the top 100. As the saying goes, The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Although Zhang Tian You did not know much about Tang San Pao, he did not think Tang San Pao was too strong, based on Tang San Paos behavior. Those who were strong were usually cold and aloof. They discovered Tang San Pao was a chatterbox after they had gotten familiar with him. For this reason, he did not think Tang San Pao would be as strong as Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, or Ling Jue Yun.
You dont believe me? Tang San Pao glanced at Zhang Tian You. Alright. Just wait and see. If the Title Temple arranges for me to fight someone comparable to a Four Star God of War, Ill definitely defeat him!
As it happened, a few battles after Su Lis battle, Tang San Pao was the second person in Duan Ling Tians group who was called out to enter the battle ring. His opponent was called Yu Lan Sheng.
Yu Lan Sheng... Something stirred in Duan Ling Tians mind when he saw Yu Lan Shengs name appear. This name had left an impression on him when he looked through the list of the top 300 participants.
Heavens! Its Yu Lan Sheng! Zhang Tian You, who was sitting next to Tang San Pao, sprung up to his feet and instinctively looked at Tang San Pao with a hint of disbelief. Brother San Pao, your wish has come true! Im amazed! Brother San Pao, do you know some techniques to see the future? Shouldnt you specialize in the law of time?
Contrary to what Zhang Tian You said, Tang San Pao did not comprehend the law of time.
Its Yu Lan Sheng! Tang San Paos eyes burned brightly as he rose to his feet. It seems like the Title Temple knows me to have arranged for me to battle Yu Lan Sheng, someone whos as strong as a Four Star God of War, in the early bouts of the fourth round. Moreover, hes also the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven!
With these words, Duan Ling Tian finally remembered why Yu Lan Shengs name left an impression on him; Yu Lan Sheng was suspected to be stronger than a Four Star God of War.
The Jade Emperors true disciple? Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze to the handsome young man who had just flown out from the left corner of the spectators seats.
The handsome young man was tall and well-built. His long hair rested on the back of his turquoise robe. His thick eyebrows perfectly framed his big and bright eyes, and he seemed to have a smile permanently etched on his face.
At the same time, the other young geniuses were discussing among themselves.
Its Yu Lan Sheng!
Heavens! Another participant whos suspected to be stronger than a Four Star God of War has entered the battle ring. A decade ago, Yu Lan Sheng was already said to be comparable to a Four Star God of War...
Whos Tang San Pao? How unlucky that hes chosen to fight Yu Lan Sheng!
Ive never heard of Tang San Pao... Could he be like Zhong Gui Yu as well? Maybe this battle isnt a big deal to him?
Youre overthinking... Do you think there are so many people like Zhong Gui Yu?
Amid the pessimistic voices, Tang San Pao smiled and said to Duan Ling Tian and the others, Watch closely. Itll be over in a blink of an eye. Make sure you dont miss it.
Following that, Tang San Pao flew into the battle ring.
