Chapter 42 – Clash of Geniuses

The Celestial Arena buzzed with excitement. Today, the young geniuses of Octaplanet gathered for a sparring session.

On a raised platform, the eight human commanders, including Commander Ren and Chairman Guo, stood with calm expressions. They had all personally fought alongside Shin during the demon war — they knew just how terrifying he could be.

"This should be interesting," Commander Ren said with a faint smile. "Let's see how the new generation reacts when they meet someone like him."

The Challenger Appears

A fiery-haired genius named Feng Xian stepped forward. He was well-known as one of the strongest among the Soul Formation cultivators.

"Luo Shin," Feng Xian said arrogantly, "I've heard you're the so-called monster from Earth. Show me if you're worthy of that title."

Some geniuses whispered,

"He's too arrogant. He doesn't know what happened during the demon war."

"Maybe Luo Shin is overrated. Let's see…"

Shin just glanced at Feng Xian with calm, bored eyes.

"Three percent," he said casually.

Feng Xian frowned.

"What?"

"I'll use three percent of my strength," Shin repeated. "That should be enough."

The Fight

Feng Xian unleashed a blazing fire technique, the air twisting from the heat.

Shin didn't even draw his sword.

He simply stepped forward — and with a single punch, he shattered the fire technique and sent Feng Xian flying across the arena like a ragdoll.

The arena went dead silent.

"That… that was just raw strength…"

"No spiritual energy?"

"He didn't even use his sword!"

Even Feng Xian's fellow geniuses stood frozen, realizing they were not in the same league.

Aftermath

Shin turned away, calm as ever.

"If I had used five percent, you wouldn't be standing."

The commanders exchanged knowing looks — they weren't surprised at all.

"As expected," Chairman Guo said, a faint smile on his lips. "This kid keeps growing faster than anyone I've ever seen."

The geniuses, however, looked both terrified and fascinated. For the first time, they realized just how far beyond them Luo Shin truly was.
