“This boy is so powerful!”
“He has an excellent understanding of the Slaughter Dao and World Dao . If he combines them perfectly… I’ll be no match for him!”
“He is too powerful . Only Qianqiu Wuhen and Gong Chao can fight against him . ”
Everyone fixed their attention on Jian Wushuang .
No one dared to hold him in contempt now, even though they knew he came from the Ancient World .
He had gained their respect through his strength .
After he returned to the Drill Ground, Feng gazed at Jian Wushuang with an odd expression, saying, “Jian Wushuang, you’ve hidden your strength well . ”
“The same as you . ” Jian Wushuang smiled faintly as he threw Feng a meaningful glance .
He had recognized that Feng had also hidden his strength in the first round of the genius battle .
Although he was considered powerful enough to enter the top 20, Feng had not exposed his true strength .
“I’m looking forward to having a head-on fight with you in the arena duels,” Feng said .
“Me too . But we can’t decide the grouping of the arena duels,” Jian Wushuang responded .
“Then let’s fight after the Firmament Territory Feast is over,” Feng suggested .
“OK . ” Jian Wushuang nodded with a smile .
The arena duels went on . Soon after, Feng took the field .
Feng’s opponent was also a superior genius who was qualified to get into the top 20 . He seemed to be as strong as Feng .
Everyone thought it would have to be a fierce fight, but in the end, Feng defeated his opponent with ease .
“Saber Technique . ”
Jian Wushuang, who had kept an eye on this fight, nodded inwardly .
The Saber Technique that Feng displayed was terrifying . Although he had only used the Superior Rank One Secret Skill, his Saber Technique was more exquisite than his opponent’s, so he had gained the upper hand from the beginning .
Obviously, the spectators had underestimated Feng’s strength .
Huo Ying, from the Ancient World, was out of luck . He encountered an opponent who was able to rank inside the top 10, so naturally, Huo Ying lost the fight .
After two rounds of duels, aside from Jian Wushuang and Feng, the other four geniuses from the Ancient World were knocked out .
The results came in . The 31 geniuses made it through to the next round .
However, they could not match up in pairs, so the middle-aged host ordered them to assemble at the center of the Drill Ground .
“Listen up . Next, I’ll use a special method to choose the 20 geniuses who can continue the arena duels,” the middle-aged man said in a resonant voice .
“A special method?” The 31 geniuses were all curious .
“Are you ready?”
The middle-aged man’s face fell as a terrifying aura suddenly radiated out from his body and surged toward the 31 geniuses .
Although those geniuses had been prepared for it, the mighty aura still forced two of them to kneel down .
The other geniuses, whose faces had turned red, were trying their best to withstand it .
“Aura oppression?”
Jian Wushuang calmly stood with his arms folded .
Feng standing beside him wore a solemn expression . Obviously, this stream of aura oppression did not work on him .
The experts in the Skyward Pavilion watched this with interest .
They already knew that there would be a test of aura oppression and that it emphasized one’s temperament .
The more persistent a genius was, the more easily he could withstand the aura oppression .
“As I expected, it’s easy for those two boys . ” Xuan Yi smiled faintly .
The aura suppression became stronger and stronger . Some geniuses reached their limits . Even Qianqiu Wuhen and Gong Chao looked pale .
But Jian Wushuang and Feng remained composed, as if the aura suppression had not landed on them .
Both of them had experienced life-and-death trials and struggled on in the Ancient World, so they were able to simply stand there . They already had hearts of stone .
The geniuses from the Eternal World had superior cultivating conditions . But even though they were talented, most of them had not suffered a lot, so their willpower was weak .
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Geniuses fell down one by one . Aside from Jian Wushuang and Feng, the other geniuses were still struggling to keep their balance . When the 11th genius fell down, the aura oppression eventually dissipated .
They all felt relieved .
“The top 20 geniuses are qualified to compete for the top 10 . The rest of you are out,” the middle-aged man shouted in a frosty tone .
Upon hearing this, the 11 geniuses who had been forced to fall were not willing to leave, but they had no choice .
The top 20 geniuses went to draw lots to determine their opponents .
The groupings for the third round of the arena duels were quickly settled .
“Zhong Huo versus Qiu Yue!”
“Li Xiaoyue versus Huan Chong!”
“Feng Tianyi versus Wing King!”
“Feng versus Qianqiu Wuhen!
“Jian Wushuang versus Gong Chao!”
