After a long time, the defeated arena lord finally struggled to get up from the dueling platform. His body was covered in charred black burn marks as he staggered down the dueling platform.

He knew that he had lost.

And he had lost miserably!

Not to mention the trouble he had caused Joelson.

He did not even have the slightest ability to resist!

By the time the defeated arena lord flew down from the dueling platform, the plaza was still quiet. The arena lords on the other dueling platforms were waiting as well.

They were waiting for the referee to announce the start of their duel.

The referee flew up onto the dueling platform and looked at the people in the plaza of the Imperial Capital. He said, "Is there anyone else who wishes to continue challenging Joelson?"

The plaza became even quieter. It was as though it had descended into a deathly silence.

Not a single person issued a challenge.

The reason was very simple.

Joelson had defeated two peak-stage demigod geniuses in a row with just one move. The Ripper was an extremely famous genius of the Orencia Empire.

As for Joelson?

Both times, he had appeared to be very relaxed. He had won two matches without expending much energy.

At this time, who would dare to challenge him?

In the judge's seat, Clemente looked at Joelson with great interest.

Through the magic that Joelson had released in the battle just now, Clemente could feel the similarity between this special magic and the arcane magic.

He even wanted to try the power of this magic himself!

On the dueling platform, the referee looked at the crowd that had fallen into silence in the Imperial Capital plaza and said, "If no one continues to challenge, I declare that Joelson has won once again and obtained the right to enter the tomb of the sovereign!"

Hearing the referee's judgment, the arena lords on the eight dueling platforms at the side all had complicated looks on their faces.

It was already very difficult for them to even guard their own dueling platforms and obtain a spot to enter the tomb of the sovereign.

But after obtaining a spot, Joelson actually directly gifted the spot to his friend.

He himself chose to challenge once more.

He obtained victory once more!

And he didn't even spend too much time to make everyone unable to even think of challenging him.

"Joelson!"

"A new super-genius!"

"This time, he's probably going to become a legend!"

Intense cheers erupted in the Imperial City Plaza, and everyone cheered.

With just two moves, no genius in the entire Imperial City dared to challenge him!

Everyone fell into a frenzy.

It was as if they were the ones who won.

Although the actual situation was not like this, they were also excited to be able to witness the birth of a legend.

Seeing this, the referee turned around and returned to the center of the ten dueling platforms, announcing that the challenge would continue.

But at this moment, a voice called out to him.

"I want to challenge him. If I win, his qualifications will also be given to me."

Joelson's voice sounded.

The crowd, who had been in the midst of fanatical cheers just a moment ago, immediately shut their mouths like ducks whose necks were being strangled.

The plaza fell into dead silence once again.

The referee felt very strange. He had clearly made it clear to Joelson that he would only allow this one time.

Why did he still want to challenge him?

What made him even stranger was that the plaza fell into silence again.

Who did he want to challenge?

"Didn't I already say that it could only be this time? You want to..."

As the referee spoke, he turned to look at Joelson.

However, when he saw the direction Joelson was pointing at, he stopped mid-sentence and fell silent like everyone else in the plaza.

He only saw Joelson reaching out his right hand and pointing at a person sitting in the referee's seat.

This person was no other.

It was the number one genius of the Orencia Empire, the Blade of Orencia.

Clemente!

The people in the plaza originally thought that nothing that Joelson would do would surprise them.

But in fact, they were wrong.

Once again, Joelson had deeply shocked all of them, and it was far more than the previous times.

Everyone's eyes were wide open, and they looked at Joelson in disbelief, as if they were in a dream.

What did they just see?

Joelson actually wanted to challenge the number one genius of the Orencia Empire!

Everyone realized that they had still underestimated Joelson.

This guy that they had never heard of was actually this arrogant?

Everyone felt that Joelson was going to meet with a setback this time.

It was not because of any other reason, but because of the person he wanted to challenge.

It was Clemente!

Clemente was the number one genius of the Orencia Empire, the Blade of Orencia.

If anyone else had said such words, they would have been scolded by everyone.

But this time, it was not so.

Perhaps it was because Joelson had given them too much shock, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

They were actually somewhat looking forward to the battle between the two of them.

On one hand, they were looking forward to whether Clemente would accept this challenge. On the other hand, they were also looking forward to what a wonderful feast the battle between the two of them would be!

They did not think that it was possible for Joelson to defeat Clemente.

In the hearts of everyone, Clemente was an undefeatable existence amongst the younger generation of the Orencia Empire!

They were only looking forward to seeing all of Joelson's strength. They wanted to know just how strong Joelson really was!

The two previous battles had let them know that Joelson was very strong.

However, they only knew so much. They did not know how terrifying Joelson would be if he unleashed his full strength!

Everyone's gaze fell on Clemente in the referee's seat.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Clemente wasn't angered by this arrogance.

There was not the slightest hint of anger on Clemente's face. In fact, he seemed to be a little excited. He looked at Joelson with a flickering gaze, as if an invisible fighting spirit had spread out.

Clemente stood up from the referee's seat and flew to the dueling platform. He descended to the same height as Joelson and looked directly into his eyes.

He slowly said, "I'm sorry, but I can't give my spot to you."

When he said this, everyone was a little disappointed.

It seemed like they wouldn't have the chance to see a battle between super-geniuses.

But in the next second, Clemente spoke again.

"Although I can't give up my spot to you, I can accept your challenge!"

Clemente said to Joelson, his tone filled with the desire to battle.

"As long as you can defeat me, I can add a spot for your friend to enter the tomb of the sovereign!"

Clemente's voice quickly spread throughout the Imperial City Plaza.

At this moment, everyone heard this sentence.

Everyone was also excited and fanatical over this sentence.

The arrogant rookie who suddenly appeared and silenced all the geniuses in the Imperial City in just two moves!

He was the publicly acknowledged number one genius of the Orencia Empire, the Blade of Orencia, Clemente!

What kind of sparks would erupt between these two super-geniuses?

Everyone's gaze fell on the dueling platform as if they had forgotten about the duel that was halfway through.
