Three days passed in a flash.
The competition resumed.
Everyone had been waiting for a long time. They immediately logged into the virtual universe.
"The competition is starting!"
"I don't want to see those matches. I just want the final battle between the Crown Prince and Wang Teng."
"I also want to watch them fight the final battle! I'm really looking forward to it."
"Stop saying that. Where are you planning on putting the other candidates? They are also geniuses."
"It's all Wang Teng's fault. He's so brilliant that the rest pale in comparison."
"Wang Teng: Blame me then."
"The other talents aren't bad; their matches would still be interesting."
"Besides, we also have the four goddesses. Their heads were bashed by Wang Teng and their image suffered a little, but that won't change my heart. I'll continue to support them."
"Your love remains unchanged!"
"My remains true. I only love the four goddesses."
"Pfft, you sound as if the four goddesses were just one person."
…
The Second Prince, Ji Haochen, and the others had almost recovered fully after the resting period. They stood up and prepared for battle.

Their loss was in the past; they had to look forward.
Seventeen of them were competing for the top ten. It was certain that the young hero and the Crown Prince would definitely claim two slots, so there were only eight left to go around.
Actually, the situation was much better than before. There were eighteen candidates before, but Wang Teng killed Strachey.
This had opened the chance to get a slot in the top ten.
It would have been impossible otherwise, based on the latter's ability. He would have gotten it.
Still, no matter the setting, the upcoming battles would certainly be intense. No one could relax.
The young hero was completely still in his seat. All he needed to do now was to observe the other matches. It wasn't his moment to enter the stage.
Just then—the Crown Prince stood up; the glow in his eyes was apparent. He passed by the other participants and reappeared in the sky above the arena.
"Who wants to fight with me?" said the lofty prince, his voice calm and confident.
He looked down on those present like a veritable son of heaven. His aura was exceptional.
The Second Prince and the others exchanged glances, all of them stern.
The pressure given by the noble in the sky was massive, unlike that of Wang Teng.
In the end, the Second Prince took a deep breath and chose to step out and face the heir apparent.
Both were part of the imperial family. The same noble blood flowed through their veins, but they weren't competitors.
The great scion remained calm.

The former nodded in reply.
Then, their fight began right after.
Boom!
They turned into a pair of light beams as they clashed. An intense battle erupted in the sky; explosions resounded and weapons clanged.
The surprising thing was, the Second Prince displayed two Forces, metal and fire; their combined power was astonishing.
Brilliant blade glows were shot with his battle sword. The two nobles seemed to be evenly matched for a period of time.
However, the high noble gradually gained the upper hand as time went by, just with his sword skill. The former activated his domain and hurled it towards his older brother.
It was a third-ranked fire domain. Sword glows erupted within, surging towards his brother like a long stream.
Having such an advanced domain, the Second Prince was only second to Wang Teng in this aspect.
Unfortunately, it was useless. He still lost!
The heir destroyed the incoming domain with a single sword attack, ending with his weapon pointing at the Second Prince's forehead.
The latter seemed to be in a daze. His smile was bitter when he said, "I lost!"
No one was surprised by the outcome. They just thought it was a pity.
The Crown Prince didn't rest; he kept challenging the other talents.
Ji Haochen, Timothy, Xiahou Zun, Sawyer, Jiang Weisheng and Landon took up the chance and challenged the prince one after the other. All of them lost.

The great prince treated all his opponents with respect. He blinked when he saw the latter use that skill, and also performed the same.
Their attacks collided in the air.
The two sword glows almost ripped the sky in two. The light was intense, blinding them until they couldn't open their eyes.
Boom!
One sword to determine the winner!
Su Jianchen still lost to the Crown Prince. His Unity of Man and Sword was weaker.
This, however, left him exceptionally stimulated!
First, he lost to the earthling, then he lost to the prince. That was his greatest defeat since his debut.
Alas, both his opponents were too conspicuous, receiving all the limelight, they overshadowed the other sword geniuses.
Many people felt pity for the other candidates.
The Tian Luo emperor sat on his throne with a disappointed look.
At first he thought that Su Jianchen was on par with the young hero and the high prince. What a naive thought!
Those two youths were definitely talents seldom seen in a million years!
Well, at least it was his first time seeing such monstrous existences in his life.
Su Jianchen lost for a reason.
The universe and heaven stage warriors of the Tian Luo Empire were silent. Not a voice was heard.
The more confident they felt in the past, the more embarrassed they were now.
