Luo Yuan would not underestimate any genius, but neither would he overestimate their strength. After all, he was an immensely powerful existence himself; otherwise, he could never have grown to his current level. For other geniuses, reaching a certain level, obtaining treasures, or passing inheritance trials required long periods of time and many attempts before they might succeed.
Luo Yuan was different, however, because he had essentially passed on his first attempt every time. This was not only because he had improved himself to an outstanding degree in every respect, but also, more importantly, because the foundation he had built was strong enough. Moreover, throughout his growth, he had largely relied on himself to keep making breakthroughs.
Very few people had helped him. Even the inheritances bestowed by Superpowerful Beings had only been obtained after he passed various trials. Luo Yuan had not copied these inheritances directly, but merely turned them into reference material for his own cultivation system. His Golden Finger had also long since stopped working.
Thus, his growth to this point had essentially been achieved through his own efforts. This had freed him from his former need to rely on other things for his growth, while also continually improving his state of mind. He discovered that whenever he overcame difficulties on his own, his mind kept growing stronger, and he became steadier and more cautious than before.
At the very least, he could face any danger calmly and come up with various ways to respond in a short time. Although the genius fighting him was also outstanding, there was still an enormous gap between them. Their battle soon reached its conclusion, with Luo Yuan ultimately victorious. No one found this surprising.
Next came the third battle. This time, his opponent was a native genius from another faction.
