The final battle of the Genius Battle would be held three days later at noon.
This kind of loose schedule allowed both contestants enough time to recuperate so that they could compete in peak conditions and give the audience an exciting battle.
But now, many people weren't looking forward to the final battle. They even felt that it was a little boring.
This was because most people believed that the champion had already been born and that it was Douglas. What else was there to compete with?
"Three days … there's still time. I won't admit defeat"
Fang Xuan clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked. His handsome face was filled with determination. He wouldn't give up until the very last moment.
Besides, there was still time.
There was still plenty of time.
Although he was no match for Douglas now, he still had a lot of time, enough to turn the tables around.
The next day, Fang Xuan was summoned by the Emperor.
"Fang Xuan, admit defeat"
The father and son didn't exchange any pleasantries when they met. The Emperor's expression was cold as he tried to persuade Fang Xuan to admit defeat. "I know it wasn't easy for you to reach the finals. It's a pity to give up now. But for the sake of the empire's reputation, admit defeat"
The Empire's reputation?
Fang Xuan frowned. His gaze sharpened. "What does my victory have to do with the Empire's reputation?"
To be honest, he had never had a good impression of his cheap father, the Emperor. What had happened today had made him even angrier.
Admit defeat for the Empire's reputation?
What a joke! Your empire has never given me anything. Why should I give it up for her?
Fang Xuan's heart was cold.
"Of course, it has something to do with it. You're the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire"
Emperor Xue Ye seemed unhappy, but he still explained patiently, "Fang Xuan, do you know that even though the Heaven Dou Empire looks strong, it's already going downhill?
One of our subordinate kingdoms, the Balak Kingdom, is only under the rule of the Heaven Dou Empire on the surface. However, it's already a kingdom within a kingdom. Apart from paying the necessary tribute, it has complete autonomy in its internal affairs. If not for the fact that we control a large number of troops, the Balak Kingdom and the other three kingdoms would have already rebelled"
Fang Xuan didn't say a word. He just listened quietly.
"Most importantly, Douglas is the prince of the Balak Kingdom. You're the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I won't allow you to be defeated by Douglas. That will greatly damage the Empire's reputation! Balak Kingdom's ambitions might even lead to internal strife! Can you understand the stakes involved?"
The Emperor said earnestly, "So, Fang Xuan, for the sake of the empire's reputation, I want you to admit defeat."
"Of course, I'll make it up to you. Money, a title, or even a soul ring will do. How about this? As long as you give up and admit defeat, I'll help you find a soul bone that's as old as the champion's prize. How about that?"
The Emperor believed that the conditions he offered Fang Xuan were generous enough. He shouldn't have any reason to refuse.
Admit defeat?
Why should I?
The empire's reputation has nothing to do with me, the Emperor's words didn't convince Fang Xuan. Instead, they made him even angrier.
After a moment of silence, Fang Xuan said resolutely, "I'll win"
The Emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He was very unhappy with Fang Xuan's impulsive behavior.
He didn't know what Fang Xuan was thinking. If he continued fighting, he would only be humiliating himself.
Everyone could see that, but he couldn't.
The Emperor was really angry. He was the emperor of a great empire. Not many people in this world dared to reject his request. Today, he was rejected by his son. This made him very unhappy.
If it weren't for Fang Xuan's strength and talent, he wouldn't have tried to persuade him gently. He would have just given an order coldly.
After thinking for a while, the Emperor suppressed his anger. He stared at Fang Xuan and
asked patiently, "What's your rank now?"
"Rank 31," Fang Xuan said calmly.
"That's right. You're only 15 this year, and you're already at Rank 31. That's not bad at all. However, Douglas is already at Rank 41. He's 10 ranks higher than you, and he also has a five-thousand-year soul ring. Do you think you can beat him?" Xue Ye asked.
"I can't," Fang Xuan said seriously.
Xue Ye smiled brightly. His face was full of confidence and joy. He thought he had convinced Fang Xuan. "Since you can't win, why go and humiliate yourself? It's better to admit defeat. This is the best choice for you, for me, and for the Empire. Furthermore, your rank is low and you're young. If you surrender without a fight, no one will look down on you.
Even Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was defeated by Douglas in one punch. What can you do? "
Fang Xuan's expression was indifferent. He said calmly,
"Your Majesty, have you heard of a saying?"
"Oh? What saying? " Xue Ye raised his eyebrows.
"A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes"
Xue Ye was stunned. His face fell. It seemed that Fang Xuan wouldn't turn back until he hit a wall.
That's right. A scholar who has been away for three days must be looked at with new eyes.
Three days was enough to change a lot of things, including turning the tide of the battle.
Facing the rank 41 Douglas, Fang Xuan didn't have absolute confidence in winning. However, it wasn't like he didn't have a chance. As long as he made use of these three days to defeat his opponents and increase his strength, it wouldn't be impossible for him to defeat Douglas.
"Your Majesty, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave"
Fang Xuan bowed respectfully to the Emperor. He didn't stay any longer. He turned around and strode out of the palace.
Only the Emperor was left in the cold and dark palace. His gloomy face looked especially gloomy under the dim light …
