"The Ripper really is a genius!"

"That's right! Even those fellows from large clans aren't a match for him!"

"I think the Ripper should be able to win ten matches and gain the right to enter the sovereign's tomb!"

"That still depends on whether or not the most powerful super-geniuses of the Orencia Empire will challenge him."

"The power of the Ripper is at the peak of the demigod level, and he is already close to the power of a god. Even super-geniuses wouldn't choose him as an opponent!"

In the Imperial Plaza, the surrounding spectators began to discuss.

"This fellow seems to be very popular?"

Joelson looked at the Ripper and asked.

"The Ripper doesn't come from any clan or empire. He can be considered a rare genius amongst the commoners, which is why he is very popular amongst the commoners of the Orencia Empire."

Toby explained.

Edessa, who was at the side, also revealed a displeased expression and said, "This guy only had his current strength because he stole his brother's reward. Otherwise, he would not be considered a genius!"

Toby also nodded and agreed, "The talent of the Ripper is indeed not considered a genius. If we were to talk about the genius of the Orencia Empire, it would still belong to the Edge of Orencia, Clemente."

"Who is Clemente?"Joelson asked subconsciously.

Hearing Joelson's question, Toby revealed a look of admiration and veneration. He turned to look in the direction of the judge's seat, then stretched out a hand to point at a person in the judge's seat.

Joelson followed the direction Toby was pointing at and saw a handsome young man at the peak of the demigod level.

"He is Clemente, the number one genius of the younger generation of the Orencia Empire who is less than ten thousand years old. He is known as the leader of the Orencia Empire!"

Toby's tone was filled with admiration as he spoke.

Joelson frowned slightly. "Doesn't he want to obtain the sovereign's legacy?"

Toby shook his head. "Of course he does. In addition, he is publicly acknowledged as one of the people who have the greatest chance of obtaining the sovereign's legacy!"

"Then why doesn't he participate in the competition?"

Hearing this question, Toby laughed and said, "Because no one will challenge him."

"If he were to participate in the competition, no one in the Orencia Empire would be confident of defeating him, and they wouldn't challenge him. Thus, he doesn't need to participate in the competition. What's more, he is the leader of Orencia. If he wants to enter the tomb of the sovereign, why would he need to participate in the competition?"

Joelson nodded slightly, sighing in his heart.

No matter where he went, the strong would always have special privileges.

This was the case for the southern region, the central continent, and the Plane of Slaughter.

The challenges on the dueling platform began once again. At this point, everyone could see how powerful the arena lords were. They no longer harbored any hopes of getting lucky.

Those who dared to challenge the arena lords were also people who were extremely confident in their own strength.

As the challengers became more and more powerful, the arena lords no longer dared to hide their strength and began to fight with all their might.

If they still hid their strength now, if they were to make a mistake and be eliminated, they would no longer have the qualifications to go up to the stage to challenge.

In this round's challenge, two more ringmasters were defeated by the experts who came up to challenge them.

However, these two ringmasters were not very disappointed. On the contrary, they were somewhat happy.

It was impossible for them to win ten consecutive challenges with their strength. Being able to go up to the stage and become ringmasters was merely being sent up by their families to increase their fame.

Being able to stand on the dueling platform for such a long time had already exceeded their expectations.

On the other hand, the Ripper had just displayed his strength and had just experienced a battle. He did not expend much of his physical strength nor did he reveal many of his trump cards. Therefore, there were not too many strong people who challenged him, allowing him to easily win the battle.

One round of challenges ended very quickly, and another ten people were prepared to go up to the stage to challenge the arena lords.

Seeing the ten challengers go up to the stage, Toby said, "The people who are going up to the stage now are slightly weaker than the previous round. The geniuses who have the strength either have already occupied the dueling platform or have already lost. Those who can enter the tomb of the sovereign can basically be confirmed. At most, one or two more arena lords will lose to the challengers."

Edessa shook her head and said, "How boring. Are there only so many geniuses in the capital of Orencia?"

Edessa then looked at Joelson and said with admiration, "Joelson, hurry up and challenge him on the dueling platform."

Toby nodded slightly, he pointed at a dueling platform and said, "Joelson, that person's strength is weaker than the other arena lords. Moreover, he has experienced a few battles and has begun to weaken. However, he doesn't need to lose now. You can challenge him in the next round and preserve a part of his strength."

Joelson followed Toby's gaze and looked over.

The arena lord on the dueling platform was indeed no longer as casual as he was at the beginning. Facing the challenger's attack, he was gradually showing signs of weakness, and he had no choice but to use all his strength and trump cards to fight.

"Quickly go to the front of the dueling platform, Joelson. As soon as the challenger loses, you will immediately rush up. Others will definitely be watching this arena lord, waiting to rush up and challenge him at the first opportunity!"

Toby suggested from the side.

Joelson did not say anything. He nodded slightly and flew to the side of the ten dueling platforms.

Sure enough, the surrounding people were all staring at the arena lord with burning gazes. They were also constantly vigilant to observe the people around them, afraid that someone would rush up to the arena before them.

However, Joelson's gaze did not stare at the arena lord who was gradually weakening. Instead, his gaze fell on the body of the Ripper who was at his peak condition.

Most of the arena lords were stronger than the challengers. Even though they had been exhausted after a few battles, they still didn't spend much time defeating the challengers. After that, they began to patiently wait.

The arena lord, who was in a weak state, entered into an arduous battle. He was engaged in an intense battle with another challenger, who was at the peak of the demigod realm.

The nearby Ripper didn't end the battle either. Instead, he watched the battle as he toyed with the challenger on the dueling platform.

It seemed to be very easy.

After quite some time, the arena lord finally managed to defeat his opponent with great difficulty. He himself appeared to be very weak, and his body was covered with wounds that were filled with dissatisfaction, with blood continuously flowing out.

Seeing that the battle had ended, the Ripper immediately defeated the challenger as well.

In an instant, the people on the side of the dueling platform seemed to have gone mad. A large group of people squeezed together and charged forward.

Finally, a mid-stage demigod took advantage of the chaos to step onto the dueling platform.

The mid-stage demigod revealed a look of pleasant surprise, as though he had already won ten battles.

The arena lord had an ugly look on his face. He couldn't hold on any longer.

Those who hadn't managed to seize a chance to challenge him weren't too disappointed. Instead, their gazes were fixed on that mid-stage demigod.

He was like a wild beast waiting for its prey to let down its guard.

"Alas."

Toby let out a long sigh, revealing a regretful look on his face. "I still didn't manage to seize it."

Edessa pouted her little lips. "If he didn't manage to seize it, so be it. In any case, it's not like he can't win against others with his power."
