Although many people still had different views over the alliance, they didn''t shout. In front of them, the emperor was no longer present. Instead, a man around the age of thirty walked out. He was wearing dotted ck gray and pants.


    He had the microphone attached near his mouth. Looking at the crowd that had lost their excitement, he spreads his arms and shouted "EVERYONE WELCOME TO THE TOURNAMENT OF GENIUSES."


    "Let''s not waste any more time and get ready for the awesome battles between our participants. As for the rewards, let''s get the crowd hyped with the reward for top ten."


    When he said that, everyone was confused initially because normally they start with the reward for the top hundred. But soon, the excitement appeared in their eyes as giant firecrackers explode in the sky. Seeing the excitement, the MC didn''t waste a single moment and shouted "The main reward for the top ten is a chance to enter the Divine Grade Tomb."


    "They will also get One Hundred Thousand Dark Energy Crystals, an S-Rank Gic Modification Fluid, an S-Rank Cultivation Technique, A-Rank Weapon, and Ten Billion Dors."


    "Woahhhhh!"


    "That''s too much!"


    At this moment, some even startedining. It was almost ten times higher than the previous year. At this moment, MC continued "This time top ten aren''t chosen on a regr basis. And, the numbers ofpetition has also increased."


    "The entire tournament will be divided into Five Stages. Duo Battle, Trial Match, Five on Five Battle, Space Battle, and One on One Battle. Yes, this year we are going all out for the genius tournament. We have a total of Two Hundred Thousand Participants Submissions, so YOU CAN EXPECT THE BLAST."


    When he shouts through his microphone, everyone gets excited. The entire crowd started shouting.


    "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!" "Start the Battle!"


    The MC had a proud expression on his face when he saw the excitement of the crowd. MC took a deep breath and shouted "Two Hundred Thousand Participants will be notified about their partner and opponent through their email and direct call from me. The rewards for the top hundred will be uploaded on our main screen."


    "Since we have changed the tournament structure, we got no choice but to change the rules as well. Well, nothing much has changed except we have added the time limit. In the first stage, you must either make your opponent submit or unable to fight within five minutes."


    "Yes, five minutes is the time limit of the Duo Battles. And, if either of the duos does not seed in defeating their opponent, both teams will be disqualified. Rules of the next part will be revealed when we reach there."


    "For now, let''s start thepetition with our first Duos Battle."


    At this moment, several drones flew up in the air, revealing the virtual screen with the participant''s name and photos on it. The yellow light shone on two pictures and then randomly moves everywhere. After ten seconds, it stopped on two pictures.


    "For the first battle, we have Alfred Mathew and Ren as the Team A."


    "By the way, I forgot to mention. Different battles are currently held in twenty arenas simultaneously. But, since this was the basic information, it doesn''t matter. Hahaha!" MC spoke with a burst ofughter. At the same time, the second team got decided.


    "Team B includes Ale and Karen. Please wee our two teams with a round of apuse."


    p! p! p! p! p! p!


    His words were followed by the loud pping of the crowd. The enthusiastic crowd was mixed with several shapes and sizes. They had different clothing andplexion.


    Two teams soon arrived on the battlefield. Mike was closely watching them. One team had one boy and another girl while another team had two boys.


    Alfred was a tall boy with red spiky hair while Ren was a short girl with round and cute face. Ale was a muscr boy with a sandyplexion and a tough attitude. As for Karen, he was a tall guy with ck hair. Both teams stared at each other with the battle intent overflowing from their eyes.


    "Team A versus Team B starts!"


    When MC finished his words, Alfred lifts his right hand and snaps his finger. In an instant, hundreds of yellow des appeared above Ale and Karen.


    "Ale, you go!" Karen shouted as two giant fans appeared in his hand. He positioned himself and spun his fans at those des. With a single swing, dozens of wind des were created that cuts those light des apart.


    Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!


    Ale had already moved halfway. But suddenly he noticed, a giant shadow falling upon him. In front of him, a giant sheep emerged behind Ren. As Ale moved forward, the giant sheep smashed its fist at him.


    Bang!


    The fist collided against the ground creating a disastrous tremor. Ale who barely dodged the fist had a giant red scale on his fists. It was like the head of a dragon. When he stabilized himself, he pointed the dragon''s mouth at the sheep and shots a breath of red mes.


    Boom!


    The mes changed into a stream as it rushed towards the sheep. But the sheep were already prepared. It caught both hands and smashed the me stream. But upon colliding, the mes engulfed the sheep.


    Whoosh!


    Suddenly, a yellow light passed by him. Just when he was about to turn around, the sheep smashed both of its limbs in the air. In an instant, the sheep shrunk as the wool on its body fell off.


    Whoosh!


    Without giving him a single chance to do anything, the sheep without wool rushed out of the mes and smashed its fist at Ale. But those dragon heads weren''t for fun. Ale separates his arms and pulls his right hand.


    When the sheep punches his stomach, he raised his right fist and smashed the sheep''s head. Suddenly, another giant shadow fell upon him and another fist smashed him on the ground.


    Bang! Bang!


    A few Seconds Earlier, Alfred''s right leg kicks Karen''s neck, smashing him on the walls. Suddenly, the yellow light shed near Ren. Countless small yellow dotsbined and formed Alfred.


    When Mike saw this, he looked at his master and asked "Master, how can he transform into a light?"


    "Of course, he can. Do you think S-Rank abilities are just for shows? You used gravity without hindering yourself only after Brute Force reached S-Rank. Light Element is also known for its speed. When you awaken S-Rank Light Element, you can transform yourself into the photons and move at the greater sped." Mad Beast Emperor exined him but his tone was a little harsh.


    "But, doesn''t that mean he is invincible with that speed?" Mike asked as he had seen the speed. In less than a second, Alfred covered the speed of two hundred meters.


    "Of course not! Look at him!" Mad Beast Emperor shook his head and pointed his finger at Alfred.


    Only then he noticed Alfred was sweat a lot. Not only he was sweating a lot, but he was also breathing faster as well with his hands on his knees. That means he was exhausted. The same goes for Ren. Both were exhausted.


    Mad Beast Emperor then spoke "Although he can transform into photons, it takes a lot of stamina and ability energy. After all, Light Element is a powerful ability. Not only has it gives him the immense speed but also the destructive power."


    "As for that girl, her sheep has the strength a rank one generalbined with her own strength. Just summoning one would be hard for any cultivator. If her Innate Ability wasn''t S-Rank, then she would have a hard time."


    "Even though her opponent only had A-Rank Innate Ability, he was able to counter her with his overbearing dragon mes. He must have consumed dragon blood that can resonate with his innate ability and improve it."


    "Although that Karen boy Wind Fans were pretty strong, it doesn''t increase his speed. With such speed and destructiveness, you can only save yourself with a powerful defense. Of course, if you can feel his direction, then you can dodge it."


    "Here is the best part! Light only travels in a straight line. That means you can predict his movement and dodge it. Of course, you need greater speed as well."


    "Oh!" Upon hearing his words, Mike didn''t panic. Although he was fascinated by the transformation, he wasn''t afraid. Yeah, light is the fastest. But, can it surpass teleportation. As his master said, as long as he can keep an eye on his opponent, he would be able to fight properly.


    After all, he has space genes. But at the same time, he was fascinated by S-Rank gene modification fluid. While this was on his mind, he did forget to ask this previously. Since he remembered it, he immediately asked through his thoughts ''ire, Rank-7 was equal to S-Rank. Does the same logic apply to other ranks like Space genes?''


    "Yes, Host!" ire replied on his mind.


    ''So, if I get the S-Rank Genes Modification Fluid, can you modify it further with your technology?'' Mike asked with a little expectation on his heart. His current Space Gene was just Rank-1. Getting a Rank-7 gene will be much more beneficial.


    "I can. But, it will still cost." ire replied with a rigid tone as if she was telling him she won''t do anything for free.


    ''Yes, this makes things easier for me.'' Mike rejoiced upon hearing that. But, at the same time, he heard the voice of MC that made him surprised.


    "Team A- Zen and Seru"


    "Team B- Mike Tyson and Olive Xavier"


    "Please wee them with a round of apuse!"
