Chapter 138 138

After Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue brought Tenku to the infirmary, they sat on the chairs at the front of the place and waited patiently for his treatment to finish.

Wang Xin, Kong Ming, and Lin Zhantian were no longer in the infirmary because they had been moved to a safer place after a space collapse had occurred in that area. Gu Qingyang was not treated there because his grandfather took him to the Gu family's place. So before Tenku came, the infirmary was empty.

Luckily, the medical team was on standby to treat the injured people after fighting against the monsters. When he came, Tenku quickly got treatment. He had been inside for a long time as his severe injuries required intensive care.

At first, the medical team was surprised when they saw the large wound on Tenku's back slowly regenerating. But they quickly understood that it was the effect of Tenku's practice because they were cultivators too.

"Achoooo!" Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin suddenly sneezed simultaneously for no apparent reason. Right after that, Tenku came out of the infirmary.

"Tenku!" Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue got up from their seats and ran over to Tenku. They examined him from head to toe and then his back which was now covered with bandages.

"Are you okay? Did you catch a cold?" Tenku asked with concern. He heard the sneezing sounds of the two girls as he came out of the infirmary and thought they were not feeling well because of what had happened today.

First, they were injured during a match in a martial arts competition. Second, they had to fight monsters in their condition. O Of course, they would be exhausted, and their injuries might worsen. It will harm their health and make them easy to get sick.

"I'm fine. I just felt my nose suddenly become itchy." Wang Ruyue smiled and replied.

"Yeah, me too. I feel someone is saying bad things about me, but I don't know who." Huang Yuxin added. She wasn't wearing her veil now because no one was around except for Wang Ruyue. Another reason is that she doesn't want to cover up her beauty in front of Tenku.

"That's good. Have you been waiting here since I entered the infirmary?" Tenku frowned when he saw the two girls had not changed their dirty clothes from being splashed with monster blood.

It had been about two hours since the medical team treated Tenku, but the two girls were still sitting in the same place when he entered the infirmary.

"You don't need to think about that. Most importantly, how are you feeling now?" Wang Ruyue didn't want to answer Tenku's question and tried to divert their conversation.

"How's the wound on your back? Is it okay if you do a lot of movement?" Huang Yuxin knew what Wang Ruyue was thinking and helped her. He also didn't want Tenku to know that they kept waiting for him there until the treatment was over and made him worry about them. Tenku was seriously injured because of the two girls. So it was Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue who had to worry about him and not the other way around.

"I'm already feeling better, and making small movements is okay. I'm sure my wound will fully recover before noon tomorrow." Tenku sighed because he knew what the two girls were thinking. But he couldn't help but look worried when he saw their pale faces. Not only because they were injured but also because they were exhausted from fighting monsters and kept waiting there without moving before Tenku left the infirmary.

"That's great! Ah, this is your change of clothes because your previous one was wet and torn at the back." Wang Ruyue took the clothing on her seat and gave it to Tenku.

"Thank You." Tenku smiled and put the clothes on her body slowly. The two girls looked like they wanted to help him, but he pretended not to notice. After he finished dressing, he turned his eyes to Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue.

"Can you tell me what happened while I was treated in the infirmary?" Tenku asked. He was curious about the continuation of the martial arts competition and the countermeasures of space collapse.

"Of course. But we'd better do it while sitting because my story might be quite long, and explaining while standing would be very tiring." Wang Ruyue pointed at the chair in front of the infirmary.

"Okay." Tenku quickly agreed, and they sat down on the chairs at the front of the infirmary. He was in the middle, and the two girls sat on his right and left like it was natural.

"So, what do you want to know first?" Wang Ruyue asked.

"I want to know about the martial arts competition first and then about the countermeasures of space collapse." Tenku replied.

"I understand. Then, I'll tell you about the martial arts competition, and Yuxin will explain about countermeasures of space collapse." Wang Ruyue said and looked at Huang Yuxin. The girl nodded and showed that she didn't mind. Instead, she was happy that she could help Wang Ruyue explain the matter to Tenku. After seeing Huang Yuxin's response, Wang Ruyue turned her eyes to Tenku and opened her mouth.

"What happened at the martial arts competition...." Wang Ruyue explained what happened at the martial arts competition when Tenku was treated in the infirmary.

The victory ceremony had been held ahead of schedule because the organizers couldn't postpone it until tomorrow. They could only do it simply because many of them were injured from helping to deal with space collapse, and they didn't have enough time to prepare for a grandiose ceremony. On top of that, a large part of the competition area was broken and filled with monster corpses.

Since Tenku could not attend the victory ceremony, Wang Haotian represented him to accept the title of the strongest young cultivator and the prize. After that, the martial arts competition officially ended.

Next, Tenku heard Huang Yuxin's explanation of countermeasures for space collapse. All the low-level monsters and Drakes scattered in the Badaling National Forest Park area have been eliminated. But the two Fenrirs suddenly retreated and headed back into the portal. After the two monsters disappeared, the collapsed space slowly recovered. In this way, space collapse has been successfully overcome.

"This is weird. Why were the two Fenrirs suddenly retreated and headed back into the portal? They should be in a berserk state and only know how to destroy their surroundings. Were they frightened because they sensed an existence that could threaten them through their instincts?" Tenku thought while rubbing his chin.

"You are right. The senior Realizers on this mission also thought the two Fenrirs' behavior was odd. Even though they fell into a berserk state, they seemed to be able to think clearly. He thought it was possible because Fenrir was a sixth-level monster, and their intelligence was far higher than the other monsters." Wang Ruyue agreed with his words.

"Fortunately, the two Fenrirs returned to the portal. If the fighting continues, the number of casualties on our side will be very high. After the battle against the two Fenrirs, several high-level Relizers suffered serious injuries, and many low-level ones were killed.

Moreover, the Jin and Long families had lost one cultivator at the Sky Origin realm in that battle. I dare not imagine how many people would die if the two Fenrirs continued to rampage in this area." Huang Yuxin said in sorrow. Even though he had been a Realizer for a long time, this was the first time he had seen so many people killed while dealing with space collapse.

"You don't need to be sad. When they become a Realizer, they already know the risks of this job. You, me, or anyone else who has awakened their Phantasmal Objects and joined the organization might be experiencing the same thing. You can think of it as a sacrifice to protect the earth." Tenku said softly and patted Huang Yuxin's shoulder to calm her down.

"Yes, we are Realizers, and we must get used to this situation." Wang Ruyue nodded, and she stood up from her seat. Then she patted Huang Yuxin's other shoulder.

Initially, Wang Ruyue was shocked when she saw Tenku responding calmly to Huang Yuxin's explanation. But then she quickly realized that Tenku must be far more experienced than them and had seen situations far direr than this.

It was also Wang Ruyue's first time seeing an incident where many people were killed when dealing with a space collapse. But she was mentally stronger than Huang Yuxin, who mostly stayed home and focused on cultivation. Thus, Wang Ruyue could quickly accept it and adapt to the situation.

In addition, Tenku's words motivated her to become stronger and made her heart as a Realizer even more solid. If she wanted to be with Tenku, she couldn't be sad over something like that. The life and death of a Realizer are like a thin thread that can be cut at any time.

"I understand. I'll try to get used to it." Huang Yuxin smiled weakly. Her expression got better after she saw Tenku and Wang Ruyue beside her. What she thought was the same as Wang Ruyue. If she wanted to stand beside Tenku, she had to get stronger, be it in strength or mentality. Huang Yuxin will become the best female cultivator in China.

"You don't have to force yourself. Let it flow naturally. The more experience you have, the more you will get used to it later." Tenku saw the determination on Huang Yuxin's face, but the girl still couldn't fully accept such a situation.

"Yes. I will try!" Huang Yuxin looked at Tenku and nodded firmly.

"Good. By the way, have all the major families left the competition area?" Tenku asked and tried to change the subject of their conversation.

"The Gu and Long families left the competition area right after the victory ceremony was over. So the ones still here are the Lin, Jin, and Wang families." Wang Ruyue replied.

"That's good. Where are they now?" Tenku suddenly stood up from his seat.

"They should be in the residential building for the participants." Wang Ruyue was confused why Tenku suddenly asked about them.

"In that case, I'll go to that place for a bit. You have to treat your wounds in the infirmary. I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I won't be there for long and will come back here to check on your condition." Tenku left the place in a hurry without waiting for an answer from the two girls.

"What happened to him?" Huang Yuxin asked Wang Ruyue.

"I don't know. Most importantly, we must treat our wounds now. You don't want him to worry about us, do you? He has sacrificed enough to protect us, and I don't want to burden him with worrying about us." Wang Ruyue spoke, and she showed a hint of sadness on her face.

"You are right. Let's get our wounds treated now." Huang Yuxin had the same feelings as Wang Ruyue. She also didn't want Tenku to worry about her and become his burden. The two girls looked at each other and nodded. After that, they entered the infirmary together.
