Unknowingly, a drizzle began to fall from the sky, drenching the people in the plaza. However, everyone was oblivious to it, as their attention was completely focused on the battle in the arena.

"One move?"

Everyone swallowed their saliva fiercely as they looked at the arena with faces full of shock.

In the arena, a purple-haired man stood with his hands behind his back. His cold face was filled with arrogance as if he was an invincible demon god standing in the center of the arena.

Beneath his feet was a handsome man covered in blood. His face was deathly pale, and his body was heavily injured. Blood mixed with pieces of his internal organs continuously gushed out from his mouth, making him look incomparably miserable.

"Douglas defeated Yu Tianheng in one move … How is this possible?"

The entire plaza was shocked.

From the competitors to the audience, everyone was shocked beyond belief.

"So strong! His strength is simply not on the same level … "

Fang Xuan looked at the demon-like purple-haired man in the arena, and his face became unprecedentedly solemn. He saw that the purple-haired man's slender and strong body had a very strong aura.

Yellow, yellow, purple … purple.

Four soul rings quietly floated in the air, their dazzling radiance illuminating the dusky plaza.

The fourth purple ring, in particular, blossomed with a blackish-purple demonic radiance and emitted a terrifying aura that made people feel suffocated. This was a five-thousand-year soul ring.

"Soul Ancestor! A four-ringed Soul Ancestor! Douglas reached the Soul Ancestor realm … "

Many people couldn't help but exclaim when they saw Douglas's fourth soul ring.

A dark horse.

This was a dark horse in the finals.

Who would've thought that the always low-key Douglas would suddenly erupt with such strength? With just one move, he defeated the favorite to win the championship, Yu Tianheng, and shocked the entire plaza.

"Douglas … This guy hid his strength well. He reached the four-ringed Soul Ancestor realm without anyone noticing"

Fang Xuan's expression was solemn. Not long ago, he was still happy that he was lucky enough to get a bye in the competition, but now he really couldn't bring himself to smile.

This was because after Douglas defeated Yu Tianheng, Fang Xuan would face him in the finals, young four-ringed Soul Ancestor.

"Haha, the successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect is just so-so …"

Douglas sneered. He stomped on Yu Tianheng's chest and exerted a little force. Yu Tian Heng's face contorted in pain, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Bastard! What are you doing? Get your stinky feet off Tianheng"

With a shout, Dugu Yan angrily rushed into the arena.

She slapped out with her jade-like hand, and a purple poisonous mist aggressively attacked Douglas.

This was the poison of a jade-scaled serpent, an extremely potent poison. If an ordinary Soul Ancestor were to inhale a single mouthful of it, they would be severely injured!

"Hmph"

Douglas snorted coldly and moved his right foot away from Yu Tian Heng's body. He quickly retreated and easily dodged the Dugu Yan's snake venom.

"Tianheng, how are you? Are you alright?"

Dugu Yan's face was filled with anxiety. She helped the unconscious Yu Tian-heng up and shouted to a silver-haired girl below the arena, "Lingling, heal him"

"Yes"

Ye Lingling nodded seriously. Her jade-like hands crossed gracefully, and a pure white begonia flower gradually appeared, emitting a holy and peaceful aura.

It was the Immortal Begonia.

"Immortal Begonia, heal him"

A clear voice rang out. The Immortal Begonia's light grew brighter, and a soft milky white light shot out. In an instant, it enveloped Yu Tian-heng and began to heal him.

Yu Tianheng's injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It didn't take long for him to be completely healed, and he woke up from his coma.

The Immortal Begonia's healing abilities were simply unfathomable.

Many people were shocked to see this scene. The Immortal Begonia's healing abilities were simply too frightening.

Yu Tianheng had suffered such heavy injuries, but he had recovered to full health in an instant.

If this were a team battle, Ye Lingling's usefulness would be limitless.

"I've lost …"

Yu Tianheng's expression was bitter as he looked at Douglas. There was nothing more painful than having him admit defeat.

Everyone was silent. They hadn't expected Yu Tianheng to stop here, and they all felt a little sorry for him.

Originally, with Yu Tianheng's strength, he had the strength to compete for the championship. However, Douglas was simply too strong. He had just turned eighteen, but he had already broken through to the Soul Ancestor realm without anyone noticing.

An eighteen-year-old four-ringed Soul Ancestor.

In the entire Heaven Dou Academy, or even the entire Douluo Continent, he was a genius who was second to none.

This unrivaled strength and talent had already surpassed all of the students in the Heaven Dou Academy.

"It seems like Douglas will be the champion of this year's Battle of Geniuses." Someone sighed.

Most of the people present had the same thought. After all, the difference in strength was obvious. An additional thousand-year soul ring wasn't something that could be made up for with skill. The difference was simply too great.

"There's nothing else to compete with. Let's announce Douglas is the champion today"

Some people had even forgotten about Fang Xuan's existence and directly asked the judges to announce Douglas as the champion.

Indeed, no matter how strong Fang Xuan was, he was at most on the same level as Yu Tianheng. Now that even Yu Tianheng had been defeated by Douglas even Fang Xuan would lose without a doubt.

"Hehe, did you hear that, Fang Xuan? Are you going to wait for me to beat you up, or are you going to be tactful and admit defeat?"

Douglas placed his hands behind his back, his face filled with arrogance. His cold eyes locked onto Fang Xuan, who wasn't too far away. The four soul rings on his body shone brightly, and a terrifying aura like that of a ferocious tiger pounced on Fang Xuan.

"Bang"

A blade sliced through the air, forcibly shattering Douglas's aura.

Fang Xuan's body was as straight as a javelin, his Shadowless Blade stabbed diagonally into the ground.

He met Douglas's sharp gaze and coldly said, "Let's talk after we fight"

Hearing Fang Xuan's reply, the crowd immediately went into an uproar.

"What's going on? Does Fang Xuan still want to fight? Isn't he just looking for a beating?"

"The rank 31 Fang Xuan is going against the rank 41 Douglas. There's a whole ten-rank difference between them. How can he win?"

"Hey! Idiot, this isn't just a difference in soul power. Douglas also has an extra soul ring. That soul ring looks quite old. Who knows what kind of powerful skill it's hiding?"

"Tsk tsk."

Everyone was discussing spiritedly. It was obvious that no one was optimistic about Fang Xuan. After all, the gap between the two of them was too big. Whether it was in terms of rank or strength, they weren't even in the same dimension.

Even the Emperor frowned. His expression didn't look too good. Originally, he did have some expectations in his heart that Fang Xuan could win the championship.

However, Douglas appeared out of nowhere and destroyed all his hopes for Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan turned a deaf ear to the surrounding taunts.

With his black hair hanging loosely, he sheathed his blade and left the arena alone …
