Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 111 111

?Fifteen minutes had passed since the battle between Wang Zeming and Lin Zhantian had started. Tenku watched the match intensely as he wanted to know the true strength of the two people, especially Wang Zeming. He sat alone because the two girls who were usually beside him were being treated in the infirmary.

Tenku was curious about what practice Wang Zeming had learned and to what extent. He might have been able to learn the fourth book of the Sovereign Cultivation Set from him since Wang Zeming was the grandson of the Wang family patriarch.

But after watching the fight for a while, Tenku felt slightly disappointed. Wang Zeming had only used the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique so far and was tied against Lin Zhantian, who used the swift attacks of the Sky-splitting Sword Technique. No, to be more precise, Wang Zeming was suppressed by Lin Zhantian, both in terms of speed and strength.

Wang Zeming made a lot of mistakes in his moves. Tenku thought he didn't understand the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique properly, and his level was lower than his. Because of that, Wang Zeming couldn't keep up with his opponent. If Wang Zeming mastered it, he could reverse the situation because the level of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique was above the Sky-splitting Sword Technique.

Even so, Tenku continued to focus on the match in the arena. He did not sense any sign of Wang Zeming using another cultivation than the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique. But Tenku was hoping he would use it when cornered, and it wouldn't be long, judging from the battle in the arena.

Lin Zhantian and Wang Zeming's match was fierce, and only a few people in that place could see. People with low cultivation bases would only see two participants fighting with pure swordsmanship.

Even though their match looked like a draw, Lin Zhantian was slowly but surely pressing Wang Zeming. Tenku could tell from the rhythm of their breaths. Wang Zeming was breathing roughly, whereas Lin Zhantian had been stable since the match started.

Not long after that, the battle between Wang Zeming and Lin Zhantian became fiercer, and they started taking out their trump cards one after another.

Thousands of Slashes!

Sword Rain!

Wang Zeming used one of the moves in the Thousands Weapon Emperor Technique that Tenku had used. He compressed the Qi in his sword and gave Lin Zhantian dozens of successive slashes. Unfortunately, his technique wasn't perfect and had many gaps that allowed his opponent to counterattack. If that happened, then Wang Zeming would lose instantly.

On the other hand, Lin Zhantian delivered successive thrusts like hundreds of swords raining down on Wang Zeming. Their number of attacks looked the same, but their speed and sharpness differed.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Wang Zeming was pushed back by Lin Zhantian's attack. Some parts of his clothes were torn, and his opponent's sword injured his body. But Wang Zeming still struggled to block it and ignored his wound.

"Why hasn't he used his trump card in this situation yet? Had he only trained the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique and the Heaven Swallowing Monarch Scripture? I don't feel any traces of him tempering his physique, which means he didn't learn the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. Other than that, I didn't feel any new movements from him either. Am I overestimating the first genius of the Wang family?" Tenku sighed and shook his head.

He was disappointed when he saw the battle in the arena, but he decided to continue watching it to learn the moves from Lin Zhantian. It might be helpful to him to increase his understanding of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique or to find out his weaknesses and make it easier for Tenku to defeat him.

"Haa..." Tenku sighed again for the second time and wanted to take out his smartphone. But before he could do so, he heard a crisp voice behind him.

"Why are you sighing? Are you bored because we are not with you?" A girl smiled and approached Tenku. She didn't come alone. Another girl with her face covered with a veil walked beside her. The two girls were Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin.

Tenku looked back, and he frowned when he saw them. The two girls came to the place using walking sticks, and their bodies were covered in bandages. Their appearance distracted some of the audience, especially the men.

Gu Qingyang could only grit his teeth and tightly clench his fists to suppress his anger when he saw Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue coming to Tenku.

"You guys woke up earlier than I expected. But... is it okay for you to come here in that condition? Did the medical team there not forbid you?" Tenku was a little surprised when he saw them. He didn't think their physiques were much more robust than he had imagined.

Only thirty minutes had passed since they were taken to the infirmary. But now they can walk like that even with aids. Tenku was a little worried when he saw them forcing themselves to return to that arena.

"We opened our eyes not long after arriving at the infirmary. After we were treated and felt better, we asked the medical team to be allowed to return here. They quickly gave permission as long as we promised not to make significant movements that might worsen our injuries, and we agreed without hesitation.

You should be grateful that we came back here in these conditions to support you." Wang Ruyue smiled and explained. Huang Yuxin beside her could only nod in confirmation.

Tenku's heart felt warm when he heard those words. Although Wang Ruyue said it jokingly, he knew what she said was serious. Tenku knew that from Wang Ruyue's eyes and Huang Yuxin's confirmation, the latter was not the liar type of girl.

"In that case, I thank you for coming here in your conditions to support me. But you'd better sit down now. I don't want your condition to worsen from standing too long." Tenku said softly and patted the seat next to him. Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin were delighted to hear Tenku's concern for them.

"Yes, thank you." Wang Ruyue smiled sweetly, and Huang Yuxin replied in a barely audible voice. Then both of them sat next to Tenku. As usual, they sat on his right and left.

The closeness of the two girls to Tenku made the onlookers envy and hate at the same time, especially Gu Qingyang. He kept paying attention to Tenku's chat with Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue. The more he heard it, the angrier he got.

Gu Qingyang vowed to destroy Tenku in the arena if he met him in the finals. But he shook his head after realizing that it was impossible after seeing the match before him.

Lin Zhantian was much stronger than he had imagined, and Long Aotian was no match for him. That person still hadn't used his full strength until now. Gu Qingyang snorted coldly at Tenku and turned his attention to the battle in the arena.

"How are your injuries?" Tenku asked after the two girls sat down.

"After being treated, the wound is not so painful. But according to one of the medical team there, this will cause permanent scars if we don't get further treatment immediately. We must drink potions sold in the Realizer organization to remove scars quickly and thoroughly without the slightest trace. But that item is costly and rare because it is limited every year.

The second option is Holy Water. But that's impossible for us to get. We heard from the medical team that we were both declared lost in the match and could not participate in the next round." Wang Ruyue smiled sadly as she looked at the burns on her bandaged arm to shoulder.

After all, Wang Ruyue was a woman who highly valued her beauty. If there were such large burn scars on her body, others might not see her as well as before. Wang Ruyue may also have difficulty finding a partner in the future.

But that wasn't the only thing that grieved her. If Wang Ruyue couldn't obtain the Holy Water, then Wang Xin would stop being a cultivator.

On the other hand, Huang Yuxin also had the same feelings as Wang Ruyue. A tear fell from the corner of her eye when she saw the many bandages covering the incision scars on her body. But what grieved her the most was that she couldn't get the Holy Water to treat her mother.

Even though they grieved about it, Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue had no regrets about their actions. They were satisfied that they had fought with all their heart and strength. They saw losing the match and their injuries as bad luck and blamed no one.

Tenku could feel that the two girls shared the same sadness and worries. He could do nothing to calm them down. But Tenku suddenly raised his eyebrows after thinking about something. He only smiled slightly and said nothing to the two girls.

"I apologize for bringing up the matter. So how was the match from Zeming?" Wang Ruyue tried to divert their conversation and break the sad atmosphere because of her words.

"Hmm... Wang Zeming might lose this battle." Tenku answered honestly about what he saw from the match.

"What!?" Wang Ruyue was shocked and panicked after she heard Tenku's words. The remaining participants from the Wang family were only Tenku and Wang Zeming. If the latter loses, their probability of winning will be so small.

Initially, Wang Ruyue thought that Wang Zeming could beat Gu Qingyang and get first place while Tenku could get third place and get Holy Water. That way, all their goals can be achieved in the competition. But with Tenku's current strength, there was no way he could defeat Lin Zhantian or Gu Qingyang.

Wang Ruyue became even sadder when she thought about it. Not only could she not treat her burn scars and restore Wang Xin's condition, but she also could not escape the marriage agreement. When Wang Ruyue thought she should marry Gu Qingyang and leave the man beside her, her body trembled, and tears flowed from her eyes.

"You don't need to think about that matter. I'll take care of everything." Tenku said in a low voice. But those words weren't just for Wang Ruyue but also Huang Yuxin.

"Huh?" The two girls were confused and looked at Tenku at the same time. But before they could say anything, they heard an announcement from the arena.

"The winner is Lin Zhantian!"
