Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 80 80

?Badaling National Forest Park is located in the Yanqing district, precisely at the foot of the Great Wall of China. It has major views of the park, including Red Leaf Ridge, Syringa Valley, Azure Dragon Valley, and Stone Gorge. In addition, the garden also has a variety of plants and animals.

Tenku and the Wang family left by bus, and it only took half an hour to get to their destination. After they arrived at Badaling National Forest Park, they still had to walk a few minutes to the location where the competition was being held.

When Tenku and the others arrived at the place, they were dumbfounded. The area full of trees has been transformed into several large battle arenas.

Of course, they are not carelessly cutting down trees and destroying nature. Organizers create battle arenas in locations with the fewest trees and away from animal habitats.

"Were martial arts competitions always this grand?" Tenku asked Wang Ruyue beside him. The patriarch and the elders, including Wang Haotian, went to where the organizers were gathered.

"No. Martial arts competitions are held every five years, and the location is always changing. The last time I saw the event wasn't as grand as this time, and the prizes were even greater." Wang Ruyue shook her head and said.

"The prizes? Your grandfather never told me about it." Tenku frowned after he heard Wang Ruyue's answer.

"Ahaha... I think he forgot about it. He's always been like that." Wang Ruyue smiled bitterly in response.

"Then what will we get if we win the martial arts competition this time?" Tenku asked curiously. If he could win the competition, he would fulfill his promise to Wang Haotian and his granddaughter and obtain a prize from the event.

"You asked the right person. I heard from my grandfather that the first place in this competition would get the Qi accumulation pill, the second place would get the spirit weapon, and the third place would get the Holy water." Wang Ruyue repeated what he had heard from Wang Haotian.

"Hmm... can you explain each of the prizes? I can imagine what it looks like from its name, but I still don't know what it's used for." Tenku was confused because it was the first time he had heard of those three things.

For several years, Tenku only focused on cultivating with Wang Haotian and didn't study anything else. Although he knew about arrays, that was only general and not in-depth. Wang Haotian never taught Tenku about pills, spirit weapons, or Holy water.

"What exactly did my grandfather teach you?" Wang Ruyue sighed after hearing Tenku's question because all the disciples in the martial arts family must know those three items.

But then Wang Ruyue felt it was natural after remembering her grandfather's habit of forgetting important things, and Tenku didn't come from a martial art family. Because of that, she still explained to Tenku patiently.

Like its name, the Qi accumulation pill was the accumulation of heaven and earth aura and hundreds of years old medicinal herbs. It was refined over several months into a pill by an alchemist. The pill could help cultivators increase their strength. It greatly affected cultivators in the Earth Origin realm as they could break through one small realm after consuming it.

Spirit Weapons were weapons made by blacksmiths in the past using rare materials that could easily absorb Qi and multiply the owner's attack damage. In the era of Realizers, spirit weapons were useless as Phantasmal Objects replaced them. But for cultivators who awaken non-combat Phantasmal Objects, it is extremely important for increasing their combat power.

? Holy Water is a golden magical liquid that drips from stalactites in a cave. The organizers could only collect six small bottles of Holy Water within five years. Then it was distributed among the four major families and the city lord because they were the cave owners. After that, the rest will be used as a prize for third place in the competition.

The liquid can cure almost all kinds of diseases and poisons in the world. Because of that, the other martial arts families in Beijing were jealous that the four great families and the city lord monopolized the place. But there was nothing they could do because they didn't dare to offend those five great powers of Beijing.

"I see. If I can get the Qi accumulation pill, my strength will increase greatly." Tenku muttered after hearing Wang Ruyue's explanation. Out of the three prizes, the Qi accumulation pill was the one that caught his attention the most.

From the start, his goal in coming to Beijing was to win that competition. Apart from solving his problem of how to increase strength quickly, he also fulfilled the task Wang Haotian gave him. It can be called killing two birds with one stone.

"Do you think you can win the competition and become a first place? Do you think you are so powerful? Are you dreaming in the morning? You should go back to sleep if you're sleepy." Wang Xiqing sneered after hearing Tenku's words. He was still irritated by the failure of their plan, and his father had been scolding him all night. It happened because of the boy in front of him.

Every time Wang Xiqing saw Tenku, his anger was ignited, and he felt like he wanted to beat him with his hands. Luckily, he was able to restrain himself from doing so. Wang Xiqing couldn't touch him in that place, but it was different if they met in the battle arena.

Wang Xiqing would show no mercy to him when they fought. Even though he couldn't kill Tenku, he could abolish his cultivation and cripple him. The person protecting him secretly in the shadows wouldn't be able to do anything about it. Wang Xiqing felt excited just thinking about Tenku's battered face.

"Yes, that's right. The one who deserved first place in the competition was brother Zeming and brother Xiqing. Japanese people like you who haven't cultivated long only dream if you want to be the first place. More importantly, we don't know whether he will make it to the top eight." One of the Wang family disciples responded to Wang Xiqing's words.

"What do you say? He was my grandfather's disciple and part of the Wang family. As participants of the Wang family, you should support one another instead of ridicule. Aren't you ashamed to do that?" Wang Ruyue said coldly because she was irritated by the treatment of Wang Xiqing and several disciples from the Wang family to Tenku.

Wang Ruyue noticed that some of the Wang family's disciples alienated Tenku and deliberately avoided him. He could still hold himself up with that. But Wang Ruyue couldn't stay silent after they mocked Tenku and openly displayed their hostility.

"Alright. We don't need to talk about that matter anymore. We are participants representing the Wang family, outsiders, or inner disciples. So please don't discriminate against anyone." The person who spoke was a twenty-year-old male. He is Wang Xin. He was the grandson of the third elder and the older brother of Wang Xiuying. Wang Xin was also one of the geniuses of the Wang family.

"What he said is true. We are representatives of the Wang family, no matter where we come from. After all, Tenku was the disciple of the first elder. You can't treat him like that. We must support each other regardless of whether or not we can become the winner. Do you understand?" Wang Zeming said in a low voice and was displeased with how Wang Xiqing treated Tenku.

Wang Zeming glared at one of the Wang family's disciples, who were concerned about Tenku's origins. He knew that the person was one of Wang Xiqing's lackeys. That disciple could only lower his head and dare not look directly at Wang Zeming.

"Tch!" Wang Xiqing clicked his tongue when he heard the two people speak for Tenku. After that, he walked ahead with his lackeys and left the rest of the group behind. Wang Zeming couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wang Xiqing's behavior.

"Please don't mind what they say, Tenku. You must also know about the bad relationship between your teacher and the second elder. So he will continue to find trouble with you even if you don't do anything." Wang Zeming explained that he was worried that Tenku would be offended by Wang Ziqing's words. His intuition told him that the boy in front of him would bring good luck to the Wang family in the martial arts competition.

"You don't need to worry about that. I never cared about dogs barking at me. Rather than talking about that matter, could you tell me about the people participating in the competition? Which ones should I be wary of?" Tenku smiled and asked. He never thought about what Wang Xiqing and his lackeys said. What made him curious were his opponents in that competition and how strong they were.

"Ahaha... You are right. Now was not the time to think about such matters. If you're talking about opponents you should be wary of, then you should be careful of the Long family. They were one of the four major families, and it was said that Long Aotian was already at the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm and was planning to break through to the Sky Origin realm." Wang Zeming pointed to a group, to be precise, a handsome man with a muscular build among the people. That man was Long Aotian, the number one genius in the Long family.

"I understand. Then who else should I be wary of?" Tenku nodded after seeing Long Aotian. He agreed that Long Aotian was quite a strong opponent if they were in the same realm.

"Besides him, you have to be wary of the Lin family. They are also one of the major families. The person you should pay attention to is Lin Zhantian. I heard he is an outstanding swordsman genius. When it comes to pure swordsmanship, even the elders in the Lin family are powerless before him." The person who answered him was Wang Ruyue, and she looked at a man with a sword on his back.

"Then the next person you should be wary of is..." Wang Xin wanted to continue their explanation for Tenku but was interrupted by the noise from the people around them.

Tenku noticed that Wang Ruyue's body was trembling slightly, and her eyes showed deep hostility. When he turned his gaze to the source of the voice, he saw a handsome man walking over arrogantly.

"Gu Qingyang." Wang Ruyue said in a deep voice.
