Prajna Palm!
Tenku grinned as he saw Kong Ming shoot out a gigantic palm of Qi that covered most of his field of vision. The arena beneath his feet cracked from the pressure of the attack.
"That attack is pretty strong, but I'm sure I can replicate it." Tenku compressed the Qi in his palms until a thin layer of green light appeared.
"I wonder which is stronger, your palm technique or mine." Tenku muttered and shot his palm at Kong Ming in the air.
Goliath Palm!
Tenku created a gigantic palm of Qi manifestation of the same size as Kong Ming's attack. The air around the arena trembled, and their palms collided.
Booooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm!
The clash of the two attacks created a huge explosion and split the arena into several pieces with huge spider web-like cracks. Moreover, the impact also sent shockwaves and gale-force winds to the spectator seats.
"Kyaaaaaa!"
"What the hell is that power!?"
"What a terrifying attack!"
The audience screamed frantically and quickly covered their eyes to block the dust flying at them due to the strong wind. As they were dealing with the matter, they heard something falling onto the arena.
Thud!
Kong Ming was blown away by the explosion, but he managed to land well on his feet. But not long after, he spat out blood and fell to his knees with a pale face. Kong Ming felt weak and could barely move his body. He knew that he had lost in their clash. Tenku imitated his technique again.
"I admit defeat." Kong said in a weak voice.
"The winner is Tenku of the Wang family!" Jin Zhaohui quickly announced the result of the match, and the audience cheered wildly. The match was very fierce and much more exciting than the previous battles.
Tenku bowed slightly to Jin Zhaohui and wanted to leave the arena. But his footsteps stopped when he heard someone calling him.
"Wait a minute!"
Tenku turned around and saw Kong Ming limping towards him.
"What?" Tenku asked with a straight face.
"Is the body tempering practice you used the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art?" Kong Ming repeated that question to Tenku.
"Why do you want to know about it?" Tenku asked in return.
"I'm just curious about a body tempering practice stronger than my Vajra Holy Body. I heard that the Wang family's practice is impossible to learn. So I wonder if what you're learning is the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art or a different physical tempering practice." Kong Ming explained his reasons for asking that question again to Tenku.
"You are right. What I practice is the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art." Tenku answered and quickly left the arena. On the other hand, Kong Ming looked at his back seriously.
"I didn't expect anyone to be able to cultivate the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art. Even more amazingly, he was only fifteen years old, and his cultivation base was only at the middle stage of the Earth Origin realm.
Moreover, his comprehension ability could be said to be terrifying. Among the other younger generations, I believe he is the one who can break through that realm." Kong Ming muttered and left the arena from the other side. He wanted to go to the infirmary to heal his wound.
When Tenku returned to his seat, he felt a gaze with killing intent from Gu Qingyang. But he ignored it because he knew why the other person was looking at him like that. The result of that match was not what he wanted. As usual, he received strange looks from Wang Ruyue and the other two after he returned.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Tenku sighed and asked them.
"We don't have a specific reason for doing it. But how much will you amaze and surprise us? We didn't expect you to have that much power." Wang Ruyue spoke on behalf of the others; both could only nod in confirmation of her words.
"Hmm... I don't intend to surprise or amaze you. I just want to win the match." Tenku replied calmly and sat down in his seat.
"Is that so? I saw you clash with Kong Ming several times. Are you hurt?" Wang Ruyue asked and checked the left side of Tenku's body and Huang Yuxin on the other.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. Don't you know I didn't take a single hit from my opponent in that match? After all, my body is quite strong, and I wouldn't be seriously injured even if I took a direct hit from him." Tenku smiled and tried to calm them down. But his words had the opposite effect on the two girls.
Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue trembled, and their faces turned pale when they heard Tenku's words.
"You… are you cultivating the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art?" Wang Ruyue asked fearfully.
"Yes, you're right. I practice it until the fourth layer, bone tempering." Tenku was quick to admit it.
Wang Zeming and the others fell silent when they heard his answer. Not only had he learned it, but he had also trained it to the fourth layer. It sent chills down their spines.
"You practiced it to the fourth layer?" Wang Zeming asked in disbelief.
"Yes." Tenku nodded in response.
"Why? Why do you have to hurt yourself by learning the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art? That practice is dangerous! You'll get amazing power if you train it, but the risk is huge! The Tyrant King Body Tempering Art might kill you while body tempering!" Wang Ruyue said hoarsely, and tears rolled down from her eyes.
"I don't need to answer because you already know the reason." Tenku said to her and smiled.
Wang Ruyue's body froze upon hearing that. Then she remembered the time she had spent with Tenku a few days ago and what they had discussed.
Tenku's goal is to find his sister in another world. He cared about nothing else but getting stronger. Because of that, Tenku couldn't reciprocate Wang Ruyue's feelings for her even though he knew about it.
On the other hand, Wang Zeming and Huang Yuxin didn't know what they were talking about. Huang Yuxin's face was sullen because she was envious of Wang Ruyue, who knew Tenku better than her.
"Aren't there many other ways to get stronger? Why do you have to learn the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art? Did my grandfather not tell you that the practice is dangerous?" Wang Ruyue intended to make Tenku stop cultivating the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art.
"Master has already told me about the risks. But I don't care about that as long as that practice makes me strong faster." Tenku replied flatly, like the matter was trivial. But those words made Wang Ruyue's heartache like it was being squeezed.
"But!" Wang Ruyue couldn't accept it and insist on trying to change Tenku's mind.
"Wang Ruyue, I understand what you're thinking. I thank you for that feeling, but I have to do it. So I want you to understand and not talk about it any further. Because no matter what you say, I will still practice the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art." Tenku looked Wang Ruyue straight in the eyes and said seriously.
"I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to meddle in your business. But I…" Wang Ruyue lowered her head and said in a barely audible voice.
"I understand. You don't need to explain it. Am I fine after cultivating the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art to the fourth layer? So I'll be fine even if I keep practicing it. Therefore, you need not worry about me." Tenku said softly and tried to comfort Wang Ruyue. He couldn't stand to see a girl sad.
"Yes. I hope so." Wang Ruyue nodded in response to his words. Even so, she still couldn't shake the worry from her heart.
Tenku couldn't help but sigh when he saw Wang Ruyue's behavior. When he wanted to see the repair process of the arena, he suddenly raised his eyebrows because he felt someone was continuously looking at him from the audience seats.
He turned around and found Su Lingxu winking at him while licking her sexy lips. Tenku broke out in cold sweat and quickly turned his face away from the girl. He felt like prey in front of a hunter. Of course, it wasn't because Tenku was weaker than her, but for another reason.
Meanwhile, the elders and patriarchs on the high platform were shocked after seeing Tenku's match.
"Did he practice the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art? I didn't expect you to teach that to him, Haotian." Long Haoran, the patriarch of the Long family, said in disbelief. He knew about the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art and had heard that none of the Wang family's disciples could learn it. But now, a Japanese boy who had recently cultivated it could train it to such a level. It astonished him.
"Yeah, he's amazing. Your disciple's analytical and comprehension skills are appalling. He can imitate Kong Ming's techniques just by looking at him." Lin Ruiming added.
The other patriarchs and elders, except for the Gu family, also shared the same feelings with the two. They didn't think anyone could learn the body tempering practice from the Wang family.
"Ahaha... of course, I'll teach him that practice since he's my disciple. But I also didn't expect that he managed to train it to that level. It's just luck, just luck. In terms of his comprehension ability, it was nothing compared to other young geniuses." Wang Haotian responded humbly, but he was secretly happy to see their reactions.
"Why didn't you tell me about this matter, Haotian?" Wang Hongli whispered.
"I didn't have time to tell you. But after that, I had forgotten about it." Wang Haotian replied.
"I see. Anyway, I remember you didn't take any cultivation resources with you when you left a few years ago. Then how did your disciple train the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art to that level?" Wang Hongli asked seriously. If he knew how Tenku trained the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art, he could apply it to the Wang family's disciples. It would greatly benefit them and make their family stronger.
"I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to tell you about it, but the way he practiced the Tyrant King Body Tempering Art cannot be imitated by others. So it's useless if you want to apply it to the Wang family's disciples." Wang Haotian understood the meaning of Wang Hongli's question, but he would never reveal the secret of Tenku's power.
"It's a shame we can't use his methods on the Wang family's disciples." Wang Hongli said disappointedly after hearing the answer.
On the other hand, Gu Tianba and the elders of the Gu family were silent when they saw Tenku's battle. Their faces were gloomy because Wang Haotian's disciple was much stronger than they had expected. More importantly, he had practiced three of the four Sovereign Cultivation Set books.
"I can't allow him to live. Otherwise, he would become a threat to the Gu family." Gu Tianba stared coldly at Tenku and thought of a plan to eliminate him.
