Realizer of Death : The Reaper-Chapter 99 99
?"Haa…" Tenku sighed when he saw the scene in front of him.
The match between Wang Ruyue and Qin Yuan ended quickly, and that girl was the winner. The three fights after Gu Qingyang's match against Wang Xin looked boring. Tenku couldn't learn anything from them.
When the participants fighting in the arena were genius cultivators, Tenku would watch them seriously and not play with his smartphone. He wanted to learn something from them to increase his combat power.
Tenku wouldn't care about the matches of ordinary cultivators he didn't know because he would have nothing to gain from them. So he prefers to spend his time on his smartphone. But after seeing those geniuses fight, he was disappointed that he couldn't learn anything from them. Each of them did not use their full power and kept their trump cards secret.
He was playing with his smartphone while looking at the fifth match now. The two participants fighting were Wang Zeming and a young cultivator named Tian Mingzu. But the same thing happened and made Tenku lose interest in watching it.
"Haa…" Tenku sighed for the second time. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
"Why do you keep sighing like that?" Wang Ruyue asked worriedly after hearing Tenku sigh a few times.
"It's nothing. I'm just a little bored waiting for my turn to fight." Tenki shook his head. He couldn't tell Wang Ruyue that Wang Zeming's matches were boring.
"You will fight Wang Xiqing in the seventh match, right? Meaning there is still one more battle after this. You should be more patient." Wang Ruyue smiled and patted Tenku's shoulder gently.
Huang Yuxin raised her eyebrows when she saw their intimacy. She thought that their relationship was too close for a friend. Besides, her intuition as a woman told her that Wang Ruyue had special feelings for Tenku when she saw her eyes.
"Yes, you're right. I hope this battle and the next one are over quickly. By the way, do you know who will fight in the sixth match?" Tenku looked at the remaining four cultivators. The two most conspicuous among them were Lin Zhantian and a bald man.
"I don't know all of them. Apart from Lin Zhantian, I only know Kong ming." Wang Ruyue tried to remember the other two cultivators before answering Tenku. She was sure they were just ordinary practitioners because she had never seen or heard of them.
"Kong Ming?" Tenku didn't know which cultivator Wang Ruyue was referring to out of the three. He didn't pay attention to them during the age and strength assessment.
"He is the man without the hair. Don't underestimate him because of his appearance. He is one of the participants you must watch out for in the competition." Huang Yuxin answered before Wang Ruyue opened her mouth. She looked at Wang Ruyue while puffing out her chest proudly.
Wang Ruyue frowned, displeased with her attitude. But she tried to stay calm and didn't mind about it.
"Why? Was he a genius from a martial arts family in Beijing?" Tenku looked at Huang Yuxin and asked.
"No. He is not from a martial arts family. He was a loose cultivator of unknown origin. But I heard rumors that he is from Shaolin because he trains the Vajra Holy Body. His physique was as hard as a diamond. Because of that, he could be said to be one of the strongest participants besides the geniuses from the four major families." Wang Ruyue explained first before Huang Yuxin spoke. She glanced at Huang Yuxin and smiled.
Huang Yuxin saw her smile and was annoyed. She thought Wang Ruyue was declaring war on her. Even though she is a shy girl but will not back down if she has to compete with other girls. Huang Yuxin would protect her fake boyfriend from anyone, including Wang Ruyue. The two girls stared at each other, and sparks of lightning shot from their eyes.
On the other hand, Tenku didn't care about them because he was thinking about the words of the two girls.
(Vajra Holy Body? Was that practice stronger than the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art? I can't wait to fight him. I might be able to learn something from him to increase my physical strength)
Tenku rubbed his chin while looking at the two people. As for Wang Xiqing, he didn't care about it at all. Tenku didn't even think about his fight with that guy in the seventh match.
"Lin Zhantian and Kong Ming. I will meet one or maybe both in the next match." Tenku muttered, and the two girls beside him heard his voice. Both fell silent and stopped their bickering.
"You are right. If one of them fights in the eighth match, you will meet them after defeating Wang Xiqing." Wang Ruyue nodded and quickly responded to Tenku's words before Huang Yuxin.
Huang Yuxin gritted her teeth at being preceded by Wang Ruyue, but she still said something and didn't want to lose to her.
"But you better be careful of them, especially Lin Zhantian. I heard he could also use the weapon Qi, and his sword is fast and sharp. I heard that he won all his matches with just one sword. I don't know if it's real or an exaggerated story." Huang Yuxin added.
"So you're saying he defeated his enemy with one strike?" Tenku asked with interest after hearing that.
"Yeah, that's what I heard. I don't know if that's true or just a rumor." Huang Yuxin answered uncertainly because she had also heard it from other people and had not witnessed it in person.
"True or not, we will find out soon because he will fight in the arena." Tenku said calmly.
But Tenku was secretly excited, thinking that Kong Ming's Vajra Holy Body could help strengthen the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. Moreover, Lin Zhantian's swordsmanship might allow him to understand the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique more profoundly and step into the Saint stage.
"Yes. We can see whether the rumors are true as they will fight in the sixth or eighth match." Wang Ruyue nodded in agreement with Tenku.
Not long after, the fifth match ended in Wang Zeming's victory. It was to be expected since his opponent had a cultivation base of one realm below Wang Zeming and his fighting ability was only slightly better than the other participants.
"We will proceed to the sixth match. For the two winners in arena F, please choose your weapons immediately and be ready in your positions." Jin Zhaohui called out to the next participant.
Tenku was curious about who would fight in the sixth match because the winner would be Wang Zeming's opponent in the next round. The two remaining people will meet in the eighth match, and the winner will fight Tenku.
Then Tenku saw one of the young cultivators get up from his seat and walk to the side of the arena to choose a weapon. After that, Tenku saw another person stand up and follow that participant. He was the one who was going to fight against that young cultivator. He was Lin Zhantian. Of course, he chose the sword, while his opponent chose the spear.
"So Lin Zhantian will be Wang Zeming's opponent in the next round, and Kong Ming, who will fight in the eighth match, will likely face me." Tenku muttered and intended to observe Lin Zhantian's match seriously. It was not to prove the rumors but to learn something from him.
After the two participants entered the arena, Jin Zhaohui quickly started the match. Tenku was paying close attention to Lin Zhantian's move. When the referee gave the signal for the start of the match, Lin Zhantian stood still in his position, but his opponent suddenly screamed in pain.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" Lin Zhantian's opponent fell on the arena with a large gash to his chest just after the match had started.
"Do you still want to continue the fight?" Lin Zhantian asked his opponent indifferently.
"No! I admit defeat! I am not your opponent, young master Lin. Your swordsmanship is amazing, just like the rumors I heard." The cultivator answered while enduring the pain and clutched his chest.
"Thank you for your compliment." Lin Zhantian replied calmly, neither arrogant nor humble. Then he left the arena, silently glancing in a specific direction. Tenku noticed Lin Zhantian was looking at him, but he pretended not to know. 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢
"The winner is Lin Zhantian of the Lin family!" Jin Zhaohui announced the result of the match. The audience fell silent for a bit and then cheered for Lin Zhantian. They were shocked because the fight was so short.
"Oh, I see. He can swing his sword so fast that the naked eye cannot see it. In that split second, he fired sword Qi at his opponent. No wonder he could beat the other participants with just one strike." Tenku quickly discovered Lin Zhantian's one-strike victory secret.
Some participants, especially the geniuses from the four major families, must also have noticed it. But Tenku felt disappointed because there was nothing he could learn from that. He could also do the trick but didn't use it because it would make him stand out too much. But eventually, Tenku stayed in the limelight after his few matches.
"Yes. He is fast. I could barely see his movements if I wasn't paying close attention to him." Wang Ruyue nodded in response to Tenku's words, and Huang Yuxin agreed.
"For the two winners from arena G, please choose your weapons now because we will enter the seventh match." Jin Zhaohui quickly proceeded to the next match after announcing Lin Zhantian's victory.
"I'll go. It's my turn to fight." Tenku said to Wang Zeming and others. He stood up from his seat and went to the side of the arena to choose his weapon.
Wang Ruyue and the others just nodded and didn't say anything. They knew Tenku's strength and were sure he would win the match. Although Wang Xiqing came from the same family as them, Wang Ruyue and Wang Zeming became suspicious of him after learning that there was a spy in the Wang family. Because of that, they prefer to believe in Tenku and support him.
After choosing their weapons, Tenku entered the arena with a spear, and Wang Xiqing held a sword. He showed determination on his face, and Tenku thought that Wang Xiqing had decided to fight with him. They took each other's positions, and Wang Xiqing looked at him sharply.
"Are you ready?" Jin Zhaohui asked Tenku and Wang Xiqing.
"Yes, I'm ready!"
Wang Xiqing replied firmly, and Tenku only gave the nod in response.
"Then the fight begins!" Jin Zhaohui announced the start of the seventh match, but someone's voice in the arena sounded right after.
"I admit defeat!" Wang Xiqing said and silenced the audience.
