Chapter 118 118

Not long after the final match started, Wang Ruyue and the other two people watched in shock when they felt Tenku's cultivation base suddenly skyrocket.

"Am I dreaming? Why do I feel that Tenku's cultivation base is now at the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm?" Wang Ruyue muttered and then looked at Wang Zeming and Huang Yuxin.

"You're not dreaming. His cultivation base had now increased by two small realms." Wang Zeming answered without taking his eyes off the arena. He clenched his fists tightly after seeing Tenku's power. Wang Zeming was sure about his feelings when he first met the boy. Tenku is no ordinary person and will bring miracles to the Wang family by defeating the two geniuses and winning the martial arts competition.

"In other words…" Huang Yuxin wanted to say something but didn't finish the sentence.

"He has been hiding his true power from us all this time." Wang Zeming continued the girl's words.

"But how? How could my grandfather train Tenku to the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm when he didn't take any cultivation resources with him when he left the Wang family many years ago? Even if the Wang family directly trained him under the abundant cultivation resources, it would still be impossible.

Gu Qingyang could break through to the Sky Origin realm under thirty because I heard the Gu family obtained an innate treasure. But Tenku, as a Japanese person, shouldn't have such a thing. So how did he cultivate to that level?" Wang Ruyue said in disbelief.

"You will get the answer if you ask your grandfather, but I don't think he will tell you. It seemed he was purposely hiding it from the others. Even my grandfather didn't know about this matter." Wang Zeming looked at Wang Ruyue and replied.

"I will ask him this matter and force him to answer it!" Wang Ruyue said with determination.

Wang Zeming smiled in response but didn't think much about Wang Ruyue's words. He knew from his grandfather that Wang Haotian was the stubborn type. If he didn't want to tell it, even if the patriarch of the Wang family forced him, he would never say it.

After that, they saw Tenku make the first move on Gu Qingyang and Lin Zhantian. He released four swords Qi at the two and then charged toward them.

"Even though his cultivation base has increased drastically, Tenku shouldn't attack them rashly. One has the same cultivation base as him and has terrible swordsmanship, while the other is a cultivator in the Sky Origin realm." Huang Yuxin muttered.

"Naturally, Tenku would be wary and move carefully. But I didn't see that expression on her face at all. He looks calm and confident in his every move." Wang Ruyue added.

"Yes, you're right. I also feel the same way as you. Somehow I feel that Tenku is sure he can win this match. Is it possible that he is..." Huang Yuxin said in a low voice.

"He is still hiding his power." The one who continued her sentence was Wang Zeming again.

The two girls trembled when they heard his words. Huang Yuxin looked at Wang Ruyue. Coincidentally, the other party also turned her eyes toward Huang Yuxin. After that, they replied in unison.

"Impossible!"

***

At the same time, the patriarchs and elders of the four major families on the high platform were again shocked by Tenku.

"Amazing. I didn't expect that your disciple hid his strength so deeply. The other patriarchs and I didn't even notice it. Is this your plan, Haotian? Did you order your disciple to pretend to be pigs to eat tigers?

Or are you purposely asking him to hide his power for the final round? If that is true, then you have successfully fooled us." Lin Ruiming said in a displeased tone. He felt that a fifteen-year-old boy had tricked him.

"Ahaha... you overthink patriarch Lin. I didn't plan anything like that. What he did was purely on his initiative. I only asked him to participate in the martial arts competition. Other than that, I gave him no other instructions." Wang Haotian replied calmly.

"A fifteen-year-old boy with a cultivation base at the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm. That sounds terrible. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it in person. He was no longer a genius but a little monster. How did you get seeds like that? It was like he was born with a natural talent for cultivation." Long Haoran looked at Tenku in awe.

"Thank you for your compliment, patriarch Long. As to how I found him, I was just lucky that I was able to meet him while I was taking care of something in Japan. His talent for cultivation is quite formidable, but it still can't be compared to the first genius of the four great families." Wang Haotian smiled warmly. He was secretly proud when he heard the patriarch of the Long family praise his disciple.

"I don't know about it. Why don't you tell us, Haotian?" Wang Hongli looked at Wang Haotian and asked.

"I forgot to tell you. You should already know about my habit of forgetting something important." Wang Haotian gave an excuse. He would not mention the matter to others. Wang Haotian knew there was a spy within the Wang family, and it would be dangerous if that person reported the news to his boss.

On the other hand, Wang Minghao's face darkened when he heard that. He was displeased that Wang Haotian's disciple kept getting praise from the patriarchs and elders of other families. Wang Minghao could only grit his teeth and suppress his hatred for Wang Haotian and Wang Hongli.

"So what if he hid his strength? The one who will become the champion in this competition is still my grandson, Gu Qingyang. I don't know what you're planning to do by hiding your disciple's power, but it's useless in the face of absolute power." Gu Yuxuan suddenly spoke up and entered their conversation.

He was annoyed to hear the words of patriarch Long and Lin. They seemed to show that Tenku was much better than Gu Qingyang. Although Gu Yuxuan was shocked when he saw Tenku's cultivation base, his grandson was much stronger than Wang Haotian's disciple. He was sure that Gu Qingyang would be able to win the martial arts competition.

"Is that so? You may be right. Any tricks are useless in the face of absolute strength." Wang Haotian nodded and agreed with the words.

(You are right. But who uses tricks and who has absolute power, you will find out after this battle is over)

Wang Haotian smiled slyly and sneered at Gu Yuxuan in his heart.

"It's good that you understand that." Gu Yuxuan snorted and turned his attention back to the arena.

(Qingyang, you must win this competition! The fate of our family rests in your hands. Although Wang Haotian's disciple Wang Haotian's cultivation base has increased to the same level as yours, you can still beat him with that thing)

Gu Yuxuan looked at Gu Qingyang and clenched his fists tightly.

The battle between the three people in the arena became increasingly fierce. Initially, the match was two against one, with Tenku continuously attacking Lin Zhantian and Gu Qingyang. But it didn't take long for Lin Zhantian to release his technique and attack the other two participants. He used one of the moves of the Sky-splitting Sword Technique.

The elders of the Lin family got excited when they saw Lin Zhantian use that move. They were confident that he could defeat his enemy with that technique. Unfortunately, their joy only lasted for a moment, and they fell silent because what happened was different from what they thought.

"What!?" The elders of the Lin family said in unison after seeing Tenku manage to land his attack on Lin Zhantian.

Tenku attacked while his opponents were busy fighting each other. Even though he could injure Lin Zhantian, it was too shallow.

"Hmm... I didn't expect those petals to move so quickly." Tenku muttered and saw that the petals had returned to cover the entire arena. When he attacked Lin Zhantian, he noticed that the surrounding petals had suddenly gathered in front of his opponent and turned into a shield to block his sword. The result was that his slashes could not deal serious injuries to Lin Zhantian.

"Huh?" Tenku saw Lin Zhantian brandishing his sword, and the petals on the arena divided into two groups and swirled around them. One on Tenku and the other on Gu Qingyang. After that, Lin Zhantian opened his mouth.

"Slash!"

After Lin Zhantian said, the petals suddenly stopped rotating and fell onto Tenku and Gu Qingyang at high speed.

"So fast!" Gu Qingyang felt a little shocked when he saw those thousands of petals attacking him. But he quickly regained his composure and blocked it with his sword because he knew he couldn't avoid it.

"I do have to put down Lin Zhantian first. Otherwise, it would be difficult to defeat Gu Qingyang." Tenku sighed, and then his face became serious. He channeled Qi into his sword and thrust it successively.

Thousands of Slashes!

Tenku gives one stab at every petal that falls on him. Because the number of petals that attack Tenku is in the thousands, he has to swing his sword the same number of times. His movements are swift and cannot be followed by the naked eye.

When Tenku's attack hit the petal, it turned into light particles and disappeared. In the blink of an eye, the petals surrounding Tenku disappeared.

"What!?" Lin Zhantian was shocked when he saw that Tenku could quickly get out of the encirclement of the petals.

Tenku glanced at Gu Qingyang and found that the other party was still busy dealing with Lin Zhantian's attack. That person looks difficult to get out of the cage of thousands of petals. Tenku raised his eyebrows as he felt this was the best chance to attack Lin Zhantian without Gu Qingyang bothering him.

He quickly charged toward Lin Zhantian as he didn't want to waste the opportunity and didn't want his enemy to unleash another troublesome technique. But when Tenku approached Lin Zhantian, he felt that the air in front of him split, and he quickly turned his body like he was avoiding something.

Slash!

The ends of his hair were slightly trimmed, but Tenku didn't mind it. He noticed that Lin Zhantian was slashing out some invisible sword Qi as he approached. Tenku didn't slow down and made irregular movements to avoid the attacks coming at him.

"No wonder you dare to bet with me even though you know I'm a genius swordsman. You are much stronger than I expected. Your sword skills and instincts are well-honed. You can even see my fast attack. You seem to have experienced as many battles as I have.

But that doesn't mean that I lost to you. I will not lose in this sword fight, bet, or match. I will win them all!" Lin Zhantian said, and the atmosphere around him suddenly changed. He compressed the Qi in his sword so densely that the weapon trembled violently as it could no longer contain his power.

"This is my first time using this technique. I haven't fully mastered it yet and can't control its power output. Therefore, try not to die." Lin Zhantian gripped his sword tightly and slashed toward Tenku.

Peerless Sword Light!
