The Quarters were in full swing.

Yu Tianheng easily defeated Li Zhangfeng and advanced to the next round. Chu Zhongtian was up against Dugu Yan. He was domineering from the start and didn't give the girl any chance to use her Jade-Scaled Snake Venom. He also won.

Osler narrowly defeated Shi Mó, but his body was heavily injured. It seemed like there was no hope for him to win the championship.

Douglas was a mysterious person. He usually didn't reveal his strength, but he displayed extraordinary strength in the finals. He defeated Lin Dong with a single punch.

When the sun was about to set, the five winners were all announced. They were: Yu Tian-heng, Chu Zhongtian, Fang Xuan, Osler, and Douglas.

As long as they advanced to the next round and reached the top three, the empire would guarantee them a ten thousand-year soul ring and generous rewards. If they advanced further, they would be able to compete for the championship.

The reward for this year's championship was a rare fire type ten-thousand-year soul bone. It was a priceless treasure.

The next morning, the second round of the Genius Battle began.

There were currently five contestants. The judges and the other referees used the method of drawing lots to determine the contestants.

In the first round, Yu Tianheng vs. Osler.

In the second round, Fang Xuan vs. Chu Zhongtian.

Douglas was lucky enough to get a bye, which made many people envious.

This way, Douglas would be able to advance to the top three effortlessly. He would be able to obtain a thirty-thousand-year soul ring.

As for the other contestants, they all began their matches. Yu Tianheng's match against Osler was a one-sided affair. Yu Tianheng was stronger than Osler to begin with, and Osler had also been injured in the previous match. As a result, Yu Tianheng defeated Osler as soon as he entered the arena.

The first round ended very quickly. Yu Tianheng successfully advanced.

The audience was a little dissatisfied. This was because the match had progressed too quickly. Yu Tianheng didn't use much strength at all and defeated Osler.

Many people didn't get to see a blood-boiling battle and felt a little bored.

"The second round, Chu Zhongtian vs. Fang Xuan"

When the referee announced the names of the contestants, the crowd went into an uproar.

Countless gazes shot over from all directions, all converging on the stage. Everyone's emotions were quickly ignited, and everyone's faces were brimming with fanaticism.

"Haha, Fang Xuan against Chu Zhongtian, this is going to be a good show"

"A battle between the strong. This is the strongest battle between the top geniuses."

"Between Fang Xuan and Chu Zhongtian, who will win …"

The audience was engaged in a heated discussion about this battle.

"Chu Zhongtian"

Stepping into the ring, Fang Xuan stared at the black-haired man in front of him with an awe-inspiring fighting spirit. His gaze gradually sharpened.

"Fang Xuan"

The black-haired man bellowed and looked at Fang Xuan with bright eyes. His black hair was loose and his expression was cold. His body was slender and strong, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. His eyes emitted a cold light and his aura was like that of a mountain.

This person was Chu Zhongtian, nicknamed the Little Overlord. He was a Rank 37 Soul Warrior and one of the strongest students in the Heaven Dou Academy.

Chu Zhongtian's martial soul was an ancient beast, the Golden-Winged Roc. It was extremely rare, and in terms of quality, it wasn't any weaker than Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning T-Rex.

The two stared coldly at each other. Before the battle even began, the temperature in the air was rapidly rising, and the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

"Qinghe …"

At this moment, the silent Emperor Xue Ye turned to Xue Qinghe and asked, "Do you think Fang Xuan can defeat Chu Zhongtian?"

"Well …"

Xue Qinghe was stunned. He didn't expect the silent Emperor Xue Ye to suddenly ask such a question. Did this mean that he was starting to take Fang Xuan seriously?

She felt that her position as the Crown Prince was being threatened, and an undetectable cold light flashed through her eyes.

She frowned and thought seriously for a while. Then, she shook her head and sighed. "The gap between Fang Xuan and Chu Zhongtian is too large. Furthermore, Chu Zhongtian's martial soul is a rare top-grade martial soul. It seems … impossible."

"Yes"

The Emperor nodded calmly without any change in his expression. He turned his head to his left and looked at the middle-aged man who was as gentle as jade and asked, "What do you think?

"Sect Master Ning, as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, one of the Three Upper Sects, your vision is naturally far beyond ordinary. What do you think of this tournament?"

Ning Fengzhi placed his right hand behind his back and smiled. "Your Majesty, instead of saying that the possibility is small, why don't you think of it the other way around? Anything is possible"

"Anything is possible …"

Xue Ye's calm eyes rippled as he smiled at Ning Fengzhi. "Sect Master Ning, I heard that you have a smart and cute daughter. She's almost twelve years old, isn't she?"

"Uh … yes."

Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback. He raised his eyebrows and quickly nodded.

"I see …"

The Emperor Xue Ye fell silent again. Only Ning Fengzhi was still frowning, thinking about the deeper meaning of His Majesty's words.

It wasn't just the imperial family who were discussing this. The battle between Fang Xuan and Chu Zhongtian affected everyone's hearts. Many people were arguing about who had a higher chance of winning.

Thump thump! Thump thump!

Teacher Ruolan's little heart pounded in her chest. She wasn't participating in the tournament, but she was more nervous and excited than Fang Xuan, who was competing.

"What should we do? The opponent is Chu Zhongtian. Will Fang Xuan lose? Bah bah bah! How can my student lose? Wahahaha, Fang Xuan will win! Win! "

Even though Teacher Ruolan had forcefully implanted the thought that Fang Xuan would win, she still could not muster up confidence in her heart. This was because Chu Zhongtian was simply too strong. His opponents in the past few rounds had basically all been instant-killed by him. Not a single person had lasted more than ten seconds. It would be … difficult for Fang Xuan to win.

At this moment, Qin Ming smiled at Teacher Ruolan.

"Your student is good at creating miracles, isn't he …"

"Thank you, Teacher Qin Ming"

Teacher Ruolan was slightly taken aback when she heard this. The uneasiness in her heart gradually disappeared. She couldn't help but feel grateful to Qin Ming. With his words, she felt much more at ease.

"Lose! Lose! Lose!"

Dugu Yan pouted and cursed like a little witch. She turned her thumb 180 degrees to the ground and aimed it at Fang Xuan. She was desperately cheering for him!

"Fang Xuan, do your best"

Ye Lingling bit her lip and looked at Fang Xuan in the ring. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

Central ring.

"I now announce that the match between Fang Xuan and Chu Zhongtian … begins!" At this moment, the main referee, Meng Shenji, cleared his throat and finally announced the start of the match.

The next moment, Fang Xuan and Chu Zhong Tian's eyes lit up and they charged at each other crazily …
