The nine contestants were divided into four groups, with one bye.
Then, the Ascendant State expert opened a space above his head and revealed a vast continent that would be the battlefield for the finals.
Dragon Shepard, from the Heavenly Dragon Star Zone, was in the first group to fight.
His opponent was Six Lives Buddha from the Light Dust Star Zone.
Six Lives Buddha was a bald monk. There were plenty of temples and Buddhists in the Light Dust Star Zone; religion didn't lose popularity even in the age of technology.
Both of them entered the battlefield; Su Ping and the others watched the battle from outside.
In the void—a lot of Ascendant State experts were also there to observe the battles of the top geniuses of the universe.
The contestants such as Su Ping and Diaz had shown enough strength to attract their attention.
The kids were still weak at the moment, but their names would soon resound in the universe.
