Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 107 107
?Meanwhile, the participants sitting at the side of the arena watched the match between Gu Qingyang and Long Aotian with mixed feelings. They were shocked when they saw the true strength of the first genius of the Gu family.
Some already knew that Gu Qingyang had hidden his strength during the age and strength assessment, but they didn't expect that his cultivation base was in the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm. Gu Qingyang could be called an outstanding genius cultivator for a twenty-five-year-old young man.
Moreover, they were amazed by the fight the two people showed in the arena. The match made the audience, including the participants, tense and excited. Of course, there was someone who acted indifferent after seeing that battle, and that person was Tenku.
Tenku looked to his left, and the girl sitting there quickly averted her eyes from him, refusing to meet his eyes. She was Huang Yuxin, and the atmosphere between them became awkward after last night's incident.
He secretly sighed in his heart. If not for Wang Ruyue's appearance, Tenku might have mistakenly kissed Huang Yuxin. The girl also deliberately closed her eyes and stimulated his instincts as a man.
No man could resist the temptation of a woman as beautiful as Huang Yuxin. With a charming face and body drenched in sweat, Huang Yuxin looked highly erotic. If Tenku wasn't affected by that, then his gender as a male was questionable.
Tenku sighed a second time and shifted his eyes from Huang Yuxin to the arena, but it was only for a moment, as he found the battle a bit boring. Initially, Tenku took their fight seriously and hoped to learn some things from their match. But because Gu Qingyang and Long Aotian kept holding back, Tenku lost interest and decided to play with his smartphone.
He contacted Setsuka and apologized because he didn't message her until after his business finished. Tenku also explained the reason why it could happen. After thirty seconds had passed, Tenku received a reply from Setsuka.
[You don't have to worry about it. I think something terrible has happened to you because I can't reach your smartphone. But after getting your message, I feel relieved. I'm glad you're okay]
After reading the message, Tenku quickly put his smartphone in his pocket because he felt a glare from the girl next to him.
"Is playing with a smartphone more interesting than watching a match in the arena? Don't you know how dangerous the situation is right now?" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku and asked seriously. 𝑓𝑟eℯ𝒘𝗲𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚𝒍.𝒄o𝐦
"Are you afraid the Wang family can't win this competition?" Tenku asked in return.
"That's not what I'm worried about! Can't you see that Gu Qingyang's cultivation base is in the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm!? I was afraid you would meet him in the arena because he is powerful, and it seems he harbors a deep hatred for you. He would do the same as he did to Wang Xin or worse. I don't want that to happen to you." Wang Ruyue shook her head and explained with a worried face. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶
"Thank you for worrying about me. But shouldn't you be thinking about yourself now? If you win against Huang Yuxin, will you be Gu Qingyang's opponent in the semifinals?" Tenku whispered because he didn't want Huang Yuxin to hear his words and be offended that he belittled her.
"You don't have to think about it." Wang Ruyue smiled in response to Tenku's words.
"Why?" Tenku was confused by Wang Ruyue's answer.
(Did she think Gu Qingyang wouldn't hurt her just because he liked her?)
Tenku thought it made sense because Gu Qingyang was obsessed with Wang Ruyue. He felt that the girl belonged to him and showed a look full of hatred and killing intent when he saw Tenku chatting intimately with Wang Ruyue.
"I'm not sure I can win against Huang Yuxin." Wang Ruyue glanced at Huang Yuxin secretly and smiled bitterly.
"Why do you think like that? Are you not confident in your strength? Moreover, your ages don't differ much, and your cultivation bases are the same. Why do you feel like you can't beat her?" Tenku felt strange when he heard Wang Ruyue's statement. Although he and Wang Ruyue had not known each other for long, he knew of her unyielding nature, especially with other girls her age.
Her character can be seen in her several bickerings with Huang Yuxin and Su Lingxu. But now Wang Ruyue said she wasn't sure she could beat Huang Yuxin in a match. Her sentence made Tenku confused because that girl wasn't like her usual self.
"I'm confident in my strength. But I must admit that Huang Yuxin has more combat experience than me because she is several years older. Additionally, that girl rarely socialized due to her focus on cultivating.
Compared to her, my determination to become stronger loses out to her. But that doesn't mean I'm going to give up on her. I will fight to win against Huang Yuxin in the match because it concerns our pride and feelings as a woman." Wang Ruyue clenched her tiny fists and said with determination.
"I understand... But what does the last sentence mean? Pride and feelings? Has anything happened between you before?" Tenku thought that the two girls had problems in the past.
"Ah, there is nothing wrong between us. You don't have to think about it. By the way, what do you get when you watch the battle of those two geniuses?" Wang Ruyue turned her blushing face away from Tenku and tried to divert their conversation.
"Hmm... I didn't get anything. But I am curious about their practice." Tenku noticed that Wang Ruyue didn't want to answer him. Therefore, he did not inquire any further and changed the question.
"My grandfather must have also forgotten to explain the matter to you. The practice of the core disciples of the Long family is called the Five Element Dragon Art, while the Gu family is the Ancient Demon Scripture. For the Lin family, their main practice is the Sky-splitting Sword Technique. Like its name, most of the disciples in the Lin family focused on swordsmanship. It was the training of the other three major families that I know. In addition, Huang Yuxin's practice is the Nirvana Phoenix Scripture." Wang Ruyue explained.
"Five Element Dragon Art, Ancient Demon Scripture, Sky-splitting Sword Technique, Nirvana Phoenix Scripture. The drills suited them well, and the characteristics of their training could be seen in their attacks." Tenku muttered while rubbing his chin.
Long Aotian's strike formed a dragon claw and the two elements of wind and lightning, even though it was vague. He still had not fully comprehended his practice and could not unleash the full potential of the Five Elements Dragon Art. The Ancient Demon Scripture made the Qi released by Gu Qingyang turn jet black.
Huang Yuxin created sparks when she swung her sword because of the Nirvana Phoenix Scripture. As for the Sky-splitting Sword Technique of the Lin family, Tenku couldn't say much because he had only seen Lin Zhantian fight once.
"As additional information, the primary training of the other three major families differs from the Wang family. Their practices were created by their ancestors and passed down from generation to generation while the practices passed down in the Wang family were discovered by our ancestors in a ruin." Wang Ruyue added another explanation.
"Found in a ruin? So isn't the Sovereign Cultivation Set not the original cultivation of the Wang family?" Tenku looked at Wang Ruyue in shock after hearing what she said.
"Yes. But I don't know the story's details because only the patriarch and the elders know about it." Wang Ruyue nodded in response to Tenku's question.
(The four books are not the Wang family's original practice. No wonder I feel the level of the other three major families' training is lower)
Tenku fell silent and thought about Wang Ruyue's words. But the sound of a dragon's roar brought him back to his senses and drew his attention to the arena.
Long Aotian charged toward Gu Qingyang with his full strength. His attack created the image of a dragon head roaring at the spear's tip. His clothes were torn, and blue veins popped up all over his body due to the impact of his violent attack.
Storm Dragon Shattered the Void!
Roooooooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrr!
On the other hand, Gu Qingyang looked calm and compressed the Qi in his sword three times more than in his previous attack. After the black Qi covered the blade completely, it grew five times longer. Gu Qingyang brandished and swung vertically toward Long Aotian.
Evil King Slash!
Booooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmm!
The image of the dragon head and the gigantic sword projection of Qi clashed and shattered the center of the arena. Long Aotian was sent flying out of the arena while vomiting blood, while Gu Qingyang was only knocked back three steps.
"The winner is Gu Qingyang of the Gu family!" Jin Zhaohui immediately announced the winner of the match. The audience cheered loudly and applauded because their battle was tense and exciting.
The medical team quickly took Long Aotian away from the scene after learning that he was seriously injured.
Gu Qingyang left the arena arrogantly after hearing Jin Zhaohui's announcement. He didn't forget to give Tenku a threatening look as a warning before he returned to his seat.
Tenku paid no heed to it and instead checked his smartphone after hearing an incoming message notification. His actions made Gu Qingyang furious and vowed to tear him to pieces in the arena if they met.
Meanwhile, Jin Zhaohui and the other referees did not immediately continue the match because they had to repair the arena. The organizers had several cultivators who could repair the arena quickly because they were skilled users of the earth element.
After fifteen minutes, the arena repair was finished and looked like new. Jin Zhaohui looked at the participants and spoke.
"We will start the next match in the quarter-finals now. Wang Ruyue of the Wang family and Huang Yuxin of the Huang family, please enter the arena." Jin Zhaohui called the participants who would fight in the second match in the quarter-final.
Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin got up from their seats simultaneously. They looked at each other and secretly glanced at the Tenku between them. Tenku could only sigh under their stares.
"Please give your best in the match." Tenku looked at the two and said. He had promised to give thirty percent of his support to Huang Yuxin and the rest to Wang Ruyue. The two girls smiled and nodded. After that, they walked gracefully into the arena together under the gazes of thousands of spectators.
