'This Tang San Pao…' When Duan Ling Tian shifted his gaze back to Tang San Pao, he discovered the always present smile on Tang San Pao's face had been replaced by an indifferent expression. Tang San Pao, who looked cold and aloof now, was like a completely different person.

"Brother Tang San Pao has great acting skills… He looks more like an extraordinary genius now," Zhang Tian You said with a smile. Clearly, he thought Tang San Pao was only putting on an act.

In fact, the majority of the people present did not think a nobody like Tang San Pao was strong. All of them were certain he would be easily defeated by Yu Lan Sheng, the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven.

The crowd was not surprised when Yu Lan Sheng attacked with the strength of a top Four Star God of War. However, they were shocked when they saw Tang San Pao deflect Yu Lan Sheng's attack and retaliated.

A wave of terrifying energy surged out and shrouded Yu Lan Sheng immediately. Despite how hard Yu Lan Sheng struggled and used his Emperor Grade Celestial Weapon, which contained an artifact soul, he could not break out of Tang San Pao's restraint.

When Tang San Pao exerted more strength to further restrain Yu Lan Sheng, Yu Lan Sheng crushed his jade token.

Just like that, Tang San Pao defeated Yu Lan Sheng with two moves.

At this moment, it was as silent as a graveyard in the venue of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses.

Tang San Pao broke the silence first. "Too bad. It seems like this is the extent of the strength of the true disciple of the Heavenly Emperor of the Jade Emperor Heaven. It's like that the only people whom I need to fight using my full strength are Duan Ling Tian and Yu Dong Fang, the true disciples of the Heavenly Emperors of the Solitary Destructive Heaven and the Pavilion Shaft Heaven respectively."

After Tang San Pao finished speaking, he moved to return to his seat.

Before Tang San Pao left, Yu Lan Sheng asked with an unsightly expression on his face, "Who are you?"

Yu Lan Sheng had tried his best earlier, but Tang San Pao was so much stronger than he was defeated in just an instant.

"I'm Tang San Pao; I'm just a nobody," Tang San Pao said as he turned to look at Yu Lan Sheng indifferently. However, as soon as he returned to his seat, his indifference vanished immediately. He looked at Duan Ling Tian and the others with a triumphant smile on his face and asked, "What do you think? Did you look closely like I told you to earlier?"

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian, Su Li, Zhang Tian You, Wang Ting, He Jian Yi, and even Ling Jue Yun were looking at Tang San Pao in shock and disbelief. It was as though they were meeting Tang San Pao for the first time.

"Who are you? Why did you approach me? What purpose?" Duan Ling Tian asked solemnly as he raised an eyebrow. He was undeniably shocked by Tang San Pao's strength. Similar to Zhang Tian You, he did not think Tang San Pao was very strong based on Tang San Pao's behavior. However, after witnessing Tang San Pao's battle, he realized Tang San Pao was no weaker than a Five Star God of War.

In the past few Devata Realms' Battles of the Geniuses, the highest number of participants comparable to a Five Star Gods was only nine. Since then, the number had been on a decline; there were not many young geniuses below the age of 1,000 who possessed the strength of a Five Star God of War recently. It was not an easy feat after all to possess such strength at such a young age.

For this reason, Duan Ling Tian could not help but be wary of Tang San Pao who had been friendly toward him since the beginning. He wondered if Tang San Pao had ulterior motives for approaching him.

Upon hearing Duan Ling Tian's words, Su Li furrowed his brows whereas Zhang Tian You and the others looked at Tang San Pao fearfully. Was it true that Tang San Pao harbored ulterior motives?

Tang San Pao said, slightly confused, "What purpose would I have? I only approach you so I can get to know you. I want to defeat you during the Battle of the Geniuses so I can brag to that old man!"

"That old man?" Duan Ling Tian raised his eyebrows.

"He's my master!" Tang San Pao said with a smile, "Your master suffered a beating from that old man in the past… However, after your master returned from the Asura Hell, that old man went to challenge your master and was beaten to a pulp by your master's clone, which was not even from the main law that your master comprehended. I've been by the old man's side for so many years, but it was my first time seeing him suffer a defeat so miserably! For that reason, my goal, participating in the Battle of the Geniuses, is to defeat you so I can brag to the old man that I defeated the true disciple of the person who beat him up!"

Following that, Duan Ling Tian sent a Voice Transmission to Feng Qing Yang to verify Tang San Pao's words.

"That's his disciple?" Feng Qing Yang was quite surprised as he received Duan Ling Tian's message. "Don't worry, he's not lying. Earlier, when he attacked, I'd thought Tang San Pao's movements are similar to that person. I didn't expect him to be that person's disciple."

"Master, before you entered the Asura Hell, his master defeated you? Elder Huo told me that before you entered the Asura Hell, you were already an Eight Star God of War," Duan Ling Tian asked in shock.

"His master is an expert who lives in seclusion. He's a Nine Star God of War who's about to attain godhood," Feng Qing Yang said.

With this, Duan Ling Tian finally understood why his master was defeated previously. It was easy for a Nine Star God of War to defeat an Eight Star God of War after all. However, after Feng Qing Yang attained godhood, it was only natural that those who had yet to attain godhood, like Tang San Pao's master, were no match for Feng Qing Yang.

"It won't be easy for you to defeat me." Duan Ling Tian smiled faintly as he looked at Tang San Pao. He felt relieved after Feng Qing Yang confirmed Tang Sang Pao truly did not have any ill-intentions; Tang San Pao only wanted to defeat him so he could brag to his master.

"It seems like you're at least a Five Star God of War." Tang San Pao's eyes lit up. "I've already suspected this before, but now that you confirmed it, I really can't wait to battle with you!"

Without waiting for Duan Ling Tian's reply, Tang San Pao turned around eagerly to look at Xu Kong Hai, the Vice Temple Master of the main Title Temple, and shouted, "Vice Temple Master Xu, can you assign Duan Ling Tian to me for my next match? I can't wait to battle him!"

Xu Kong Hai was slightly taken aback by Tang San Pao. In the end, he only glanced at Tang San Pao before shifting his gaze away, ignoring him. Then, he looked at the young geniuses in the battle rings and said, "Carry on!"

The participants in the battle rings had temporarily stopped fighting because they wanted to watch Yu Lan Sheng's fight. Who knew, just like Meng Fan Gui, Yu Lan Sheng would be defeated by a nobody as well?

There was now another participant as strong as a Five Star God of War had appeared in the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. Most importantly, among these outstanding participants, two of them had unknown origins.

"How arrogant! How dare he ignore me! Once I attain godhood, I'll definitely go to the Title Temple to beat him up!" Tang San Pao said indignantly as he looked at Xu Kong Hai's back.

Despite the fact that there were four ongoing battles, the crowd's attention was now focused on Tang San Pao. They were intrigued by this mysterious character who was just like Zhong Gui Yu.

"There are so many people trying to poach me! I wonder if I should tell the old man about them when I return so he can challenge them to a duel?" Tang San Pao murmured to himself as he rested his chin on his hand, glancing at the group of Heavenly Emperors and higher-ups from Title Temple branches.

The corner of Duan Ling Tian's mouth twitched when he heard Tang San Pao's words. He felt slightly amused and helpless thinking about how Tang San Pao wanted his master, a Nine Star God of War, to beat up the Heavenly Emperors and higher-ups from the Title Temple branches. Naturally, based on Tang San Pao's words, he knew some of the Heavenly Emperors and higher-ups from Title Temple branches must have tried to recruit Tang San Pao. After all, how could they know that Tang San Pao's master was a Nine Star God of War? They probably thought Tang San Pao was a humble sectless cultivator.

Duan Ling Tian knew those who tried to recruit Tang San Pao had yet to attain godhood. After all, gods would not disdain themselves to recruit celestials unless the celestial was incredibly outstanding. Although Tang San Pao was very strong and seemed rather talented based on his age and strength that was comparable to a Five Star God of War, he was not outstanding enough to attract the attention of gods. Moreover, there was no guarantee now that Tang San Pao would be able to attain godhood. There were many geniuses who were outstanding when they were young but became mediocre as time passed. On the flip side, there were also those who were mediocre but became outstanding later.

Nevertheless, at this time, there was no doubt Tang San Pao was talented and strong for his age.

…

When dusk arrived, they were only halfway through the fourth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses.

Xu Kong Hai said, "The next bout will be today's final bout… Those who haven't been called will continue tomorrow. There's a possibility the fourth round might even extend until the day after tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, 10 names of those who would be participating in the final matches for the day appeared.

One of the names immediately caught everyone's attention: Duan Ling Tian!
