Open up and break into another world

Half a month passed quickly.

Xu Ming completely refined the pure and profound energy obtained in the Nine Heavens Realm, as well as the black energy, and his strength reached another level.

“In the state of being 'hacked,' my strength should be able to reach the twenty-first order!”

Twenty-first order!

Extremely terrifying combat power!

However… it is still not on the same level as a god!

Gods and demigods are existences on completely different levels!

Let alone a “twenty-first order demigod,” even a “thirtieth order demigod” would probably not be able to defeat the weakest god.

Moreover…

A thirtieth-order demigod is just a theoretical level; comprehending all nine Heavenly Daos to the extreme of a demigod, and perfectly fusing them all, might reach the “thirtieth order”—in the entire history of the God Realm, there may not have been a thirtieth-order demigod!

“Leave seclusion! Go participate in the third stage of the test!”

Xu Ming walked directly towards the “Martial Arts Arena”—the third stage of the test was being conducted in the Martial Arts Arena.

“Hopefully, Mo Fang really asked the Time-Space Temple to send the God Stones over! Otherwise…” A hint of coldness flashed in the depths of Xu Ming's eyes—if he dared to deceive Brother Ming, the consequences would be very serious!

When Xu Ming arrived at the Martial Arts Arena, City Lord Naihe, Elder Mo Fang, and the geniuses had already arrived.

After waiting for a moment, everyone was present.

City Lord Naihe announced the rules: “The third stage of the test is a ‘challenge match’!—You ten geniuses participating in the test will fight each other; the more wins you have, the higher your ranking! If the number of wins is the same, the ranking will be determined based on the relationship of victory and defeat between each other…”

Xu Ming listened and quickly understood.

The rules are very simple.

In the third stage of the test, there are ten geniuses participating; each genius has to fight the other nine once, which means nine battles.

Therefore, the maximum number of wins can be nine.

“Do you all understand?” City Lord Naihe glanced at the ten geniuses.

“If you understand, start challenging each other!”

Because the geniuses present were only consciousness bodies and could not truly exert their combat power, all battles were conducted within the illusory Martial Arts Arena.

Although the Martial Arts Arena is illusory, it can exert the same combat power as in reality.

Xu Ming entered the Martial Arts Arena and felt it slightly, discovering that it did not affect his ability to use his 'hack'.

Then, Xu Ming directly pulled over a chair, sat down with his legs crossed, and said to Qian Yishang and the other nine geniuses participating in the test: “You guys go first! After you're done, I'll go on!”

How could the other nine geniuses participating in the test dare to provoke Xu Ming?—You must know that Xu Ming had passed the second level of the Nine Heavens Realm, and persisted for two breaths in the third level, what a pervert! And the most powerful of the other nine geniuses, Qian Yishang, only persisted for three breaths in the second level!

The battle began.

Xu Ming crossed his legs and leisurely watched the battle within the Martial Arts Arena.

“Xu Ming!” Elder Mo Fang's voice transmission rang in Xu Ming's mind, “The Time-Space Temple has accepted my mission! Ten thousand God Stones are estimated to arrive in your Dust World in half a month; when the time comes, you must receive the God Stones in the Dust World!”

The battles within the Martial Arts Arena proceeded very quickly.

After all, in battles between demigods, countless exchanges can occur in every instant.

Soon, except for Xu Ming, the battles between the other nine geniuses were over.

Qian Yishang temporarily ranked first with a record of “eight wins”.

“It's over so quickly?” Xu Ming lazily stretched, “It's my turn!”

Xu Ming stood up and glanced at the other nine geniuses; finally, his gaze fell on Bi Liu.

“Bi Liu, let's go!” Xu Ming smiled.

Among these nine geniuses from the God Realm, Xu Ming most wanted to slap Qian Yishang, and then Bi Liu—who told this guy to talk too much, who else to slap if not him?

“Me?” Bi Liu was stunned, his “delicate body” couldn't help but tremble, and he said repeatedly, “I admit defeat! I admit defeat!”

Bi Liu admitted defeat without hesitation!

Nonsense, if he didn't admit defeat, would he really go up and get slapped?

Bi Liu seriously suspected that if he dared to enter the Martial Arts Arena with Xu Ming, he might be slapped so hard that he wouldn't even have a chance to admit defeat!—Rather than being humiliated on stage, it's better to admit defeat directly!

“Uh…” Xu Ming was stunned—this admission of defeat was too decisive, wasn't it?

“No fun!”

Xu Ming secretly cursed, and looked at Xi Ye again: “Xi Ye, you come?”

Xi Ye smiled and waved his hands repeatedly: “No fight! No fight! I admit defeat!”

Another one who admitted defeat!

Xu Ming had no choice but to look at the next one: “Tong Yihai, you come?”

This genius “Tong Yihai” from the God Realm was immediately frightened until his face turned green: “Admit defeat! Admit defeat!”

Admit defeat!

Admit defeat!

…

Xu Ming called out the names of eight geniuses in a row, and without a doubt, they all admitted defeat!

Nonsense! If they didn't admit defeat, would they really go up and get abused?

Just like that, Xu Ming won “eight games” easily without bloodshed.

Only Qian Yishang remained, and Xu Ming had not yet challenged him.

“Qian Yishang!” Xu Ming looked at him, “It's our turn!”

Xu Ming and Qian Yishang both had a record of “eight wins”; the battle between the two of them would directly determine who was the “first” in the King-level Trial.

All eyes fell on Qian Yishang.

“Will Qian Yishang dare to accept the challenge?”

“Is there even a need to ask? Of course he won't dare!”

“I guess he will also admit defeat directly!”

“Not necessarily! In my opinion, Qian Yishang should be unwilling to admit defeat!—After all, he is only one step away from obtaining the first place in the King-level Trial and becoming a personal successor of the general!”

“What can he do if he is unwilling? If he accepts the challenge, he will just be going up to get abused!”

“I don't think so… Didn't you see that Qian Yishang's uncle, Elder Mo Fang, has come to sit in charge? I guess Elder Mo Fang has probably put pressure on Xu Ming!”

“Could it be that Elder Mo Fang is forcing Xu Ming to admit defeat?—Isn't that too shameless?”

…

Xu Ming and Qian Yishang both walked towards the Martial Arts Arena.

“Xu Ming, don't forget our agreement!” Elder Mo Fang transmitted his voice.

“Don't worry! I will definitely keep my promise!” Xu Ming smiled meaningfully.
