Thirty-six contestants fro to be disqualified because their places would eventually be taken by the thirty-six geniuses of the seven great emperors instead Cos because of that, with eight geniuses launching successful challenges at the end of the battles

The final segeniuses were now given their second chance They had to have been beaten by a contender in the top thirty to qualify for a second chance, with this chance being their final attee the 164 finalists for the Genius Rankings There weren’t that st the disqualified, but Wei Jie was one of thereat clan that had been even more unlucky than hihly a dozen contenders claireat clan disciple succeeded Wei Jie had chosen his opponent very carefully After a hard battle, he finally won and took over his opponent’s place He was now ranked 156th With that, the Genius Rankings finally came to a close

164 contestants froeniuses under the seven great e of Young Lords Only thirty-six of the Lords Many contestants as were only lesser characters when coeniuses Probably less than ten of the Lords However, there probably wouldn’t beof Young Lords

The Ranking of Young Lords battles had an entirely different set of rules than the previous two ranking battles Thirty-six successors of the seven great e Lords The other 164 geniuses were e theet to challenge

Those in the first group of the Genius Rankings were only qualified to challenge the twenty-first ranked genius of the Ranking of Young Lords, while those in the second group were only qualified to challenge the twenty-second ranked genius This pattern continued all the way down to the sixteenth group that could challenge the thirty-sixth ranked genius The ten geniuses in each group were only given one chance, and they all had to face the sae was naturally the twenty-first ranked genius since he was in the first group The top twenty geniuses in the Ranking of Young Lords were not required to accept any challengers at this stage Only those ranked twenty-first to thirty-sixth were required to defend their places in the Ranking of Young Lords as an arena lord This stage of the tournaers in past tournaeniuses affiliated with the great e Lords This time, however, many were optie Everyone had placed their hopes on the first group

The rules of the challenge were quite brutal If a genius within the first group was able to successfully defeat the twenty-first ranked candidate, the other geniuses in the first group would have to enius in the rankings If tere soe the nineteenth ranked genius The saroups as well However, the possibility that the other groups could succeed was close to zero Geniuses who e had historically coe to enter the top ten were unlikely to defeat their opponent in the Ranking of Young Lords

The geniuses in the first group had already battled ast theenius His name was Gu Zhenshan, a true disciple of Emperor Mountaincrush [1] Gu Zhenshan possessed a very ist the geniuses under E Chen didn’t seereat ereat number of citizens in Veluriya lords These young lords pursued their own dao and had their own plans Those who kept a high profile were more well-known, but those who kept a low profile were so secretive that even their peers weren’t sure of their cultivation levels

The geniuses in the Ranking of Young Lords were actually ranked by the seven great est thes sometimes didn’t precisely reflect their true capabilities

The first genius to challenge Gu Zhenshan was Alche Chen had a few impressions of Alchemist Xi Alchemist Xi was actually quite talented in martial dao However, the alchemist seemed to enjoy pill dao st the top ten in the Genius Rankings This of courseGu Zhenshan a warmup He was promptly kicked out of the arena in just three strikes

It wasn’t that Alchemist Xi was so weak that he couldn’t even handle three basicChen could tell that Gu Zhenshan had used very powerful techniques right fro to set an exaht and show the disparity between them He had killed a chicken to scare the eniuses next in line after Alchee to last un to understand Gu Zhenshan a littlea true disciple of a great emperor due to his exceptional talent, but he was just a little too petty and narrow-minded He was definitely not the one ould eventually succeed E Chen was quite sure of He was a fair judge of character Gu Zhenshan wasn’t fated to be the patriarch of a great emperor clan, but was rather a suitable elder candidate

People continued to challenge hi’s turn to challenge hi to the rules, the arena lord was allowed a few hour’s rest after every three rounds It was already Gu Zhenshan’s sixth consecutive victory by the ti He decided to rest when he considered the difficulty of the battles fro contenders were Sunyu Xiaosheng, Ji San, Mie Chenzi, and Jiang Chen

To prevent accuiven an option for six hours’ rest after every battle froue and also to prevent giving the person next in line an unfair advantage

After six hours had passed, it was Sunyu Xiaosheng’s turn Jiang Chen had been paying close attention to the frivolous wandering cultivator This was a matchup which Gu Zhenshan could possibly lose As expected, Gu Zhenshan started the fight by trying to overwhel with a flurry of attacks However, Sunyu Xiaosheng was able to suppress the attacks with his superior ability to control the flow of the battle Gu Zhenshan felt like he was dishi+ng out punches to a heap of cotton

Sunyu Xiaosheng was able to control the flow of battle at an incredibly frightening level Gu Zhenshan’s tried-and-truehis opponents was rendered useless, as he siht of his punches It could have been an incredibly entertaining ainst a siainst Sunyu Xiaosheng Each strike only made him even more frustrated and depressed

However, he was still a successor to a great ees, he finally decided to use the truht of his equip and defeated hi earned the respect of everyone present despite his loss A wandering cultivator was able to break into the top ten of the Genius Rankings and al Lords? If Gu Zhenshan hadn’t overpowered his opponent through the ht’ve ended

Everyone present strongly believed that Sunyu Xiaosheng had caught the attention of the seven great e Lords If he ood use of this opportunity, he could possibly have a reat emperor’s true disciple He wasn’t beneath Gu Zhenshan in terms of pure talent and battle instinct He’d only lost due to the discrepancy between their equip cultivator

This onlyhad obviously been taught by an incredibly formidable master, so as his equip the type of equip Chen theorized that Sunyu Xiaosheng ht by a for in any powerful clan or sect Since Sunyu Xiaosheng was defeated, it was now Ji San’s turn to challenge Gu Zhenshan

Gu Zhenshan no longer dared to belittle his opponents He chose to take a rest instead of accepting consecutive fights, as his opponents were no longer slouches Ji San also wasn’t the kind of person to capitalize on another person’s disadvantage While his opponent was resting, he consulted Jiang Chen about Gu Zhenshan’s ive very iood at deduction In order for Ji San to have a chance of winning, they agreed that he would have to suppress Gu Zhenshan’s equipe first
