The audience fell silent when they saw what was happening in the arena. Tenku could fight two geniuses at once and defeat one of them.
"Did I not see wrongly what had happened in the arena?" Wang Ruyue said in disbelief as she doubted her eyesight.
"No, you're not wrong because I saw it too." Huang Yuxin responded with the same feelings as Wang Ruyue. She didn't expect Tenku to beat one of the two geniuses in the arena.
"Tenku can beat Lin Zhantian even though he has used the killing move of the Lin family." Wang Zeming smiled bitterly when he saw the scene before his eyes
When Lin Zhantian fought against him in the previous round, that fellow had not used his full strength. He felt his heart as a cultivator shake after knowing that.
Wang Zeming couldn't do anything against the rival he wanted to beat, even though he had put all his strength into that match. But Tenku knocked Lin Zhantian out of the arena when he had to fight with two opponents. Wang Zeming was envious of Tenku's strength. Moreover, he can have it at a very young age.
"You don't need to compare yourself to Tenku. You are you, and Tenku is Tenku. He is the freak here. I believe you can defeat Lin Zhantian in the future with your strength. So don't be pessimistic." Wang Ruyue said after seeing the expression on his face. She more or less knew what Wang Zeming was thinking at the moment.
The rival he had been trying to beat had been knocked out of the arena by someone much younger than him. Not only that. Lin Zhantian also used his full strength and fought alongside Gu Qingyang in the arena but lost in the end. It would make Wang Zeming even more depressed.
"She's right. Tenku cannot be judged by common sense. Thus, you should not compare yourself with him because no young cultivators in this competition can be like him." Huang Yuxin added.
"I thank you for the kind intentions of both of you to comfort me. But those words of yours don't sound like a compliment. If Tenku finds out what you guys are saying about him, what will he think?" Wang Zeming grinned and teased the two girls. He was not blind and knew how Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue felt for Tenku. If Wang Zeming had to speak the truth, he would be jealous of Tenku because two flowers from Beijing fell in love with him.
Wang Ruyue and Huang Yuxin's faces turned pale when they heard about it. Then the two looked at Wang Zeming and shouted at the same time.
"You can't say that to Tenku!"
"Haha... I understand. I'm just kidding with you guys. I'll keep it a secret from Tenku." Wang Zeming chuckled, and it made the two girls blush up to their ears.
"But the match is still not over. Although he could beat Lin Zhantian, the only one left in the arena now was Gu Qingyang. He surpassed the other young geniuses in strength, speed, and technique.
You two should already know that he's on an entirely different level from us. Plus, he had refined the innate treasures found by the Gu family. So his current strength can be said to be unfathomable." Wang Zeming tried to change the topic of their conversation when he saw that the two girls' faces were as red as apples.
"Yeah, you're right about that. But Tenku can always create miracles. Isn't that right, Yuxin? We don't know if he still hides his cultivation base or not. If he hasn't used all of his strength in this match, then…" Wang Ruyue smiled, but she didn't dare to continue her words.
Although Wang Ruyue believed in Tenku, she doubted that the other party was still hiding his strength. But if what she thought was true, then Tenku's cultivation base should be in the Sky Origin realm.
It sounds too absurd and unreasonable. No matter how genius Tenku was, a fifteen-year-old boy couldn't have such a high cultivation base. But then, Wang Ruyue's doubts disappeared after hearing the words of the girl next to her.
"Then his cultivation base should be in Sky Origin. I am sure about it, and you have to trust him. Isn't he a person who can't be measured by common sense? Therefore, nothing is impossible for him." Huang Yuxin said confidently. Wang Ruyue could sense the girl's feelings for Tenku from her words, and she felt ashamed that she had doubts in her heart before.
"Yes! Tenku can definitely beat Gu Qingyang. He is a man who will continue to surprise and amaze us." Wang Ruyue nodded, and then the two girls smiled beautifully.
They can quickly understand each other because they share the same feelings for the same man. Wang Ruyue didn't know when they had become that close. But she thought that it was not something bad. Wang Ruyue felt like she had a sister besides Wang Xiuying, but her relationship with Huang Yuxin was much closer than the first.
Wang Zeming was mesmerized when he saw their smiles, but he quickly shook his head to shake off the thought. One was his cousin, and the other was a girl who liked Tenku. He shouldn't have feelings like that for them.
"But I'm curious about the attack Tenku used against Wang Zeming's killing move. What technique is it? I feel my body is being cut just by looking at it." Huang Yuxin suddenly asked, and her body shivered when she recalled Tenku's attack.
"If I remember correctly, it was one of the moves of the Thousand Weapon Emperor Technique. To use it, you have to train it to a mastery level. But what makes you feel like you're being cut isn't that movement but Tenku's sword intent." Wang Zeming explained.
"What!? Sword intent!? Tenku can use sword intent!? Argh..." Wang Ruyue was startled and got up from her seat. She was in pain from making such a significant movement and worsening her injuries. Wang Ruyue quickly returned to her seat while holding her shoulders.
"Are you okay? Didn't the medics warn you not to make big movements in your current state?" Huang Yuxin looked at Wang Ruyue worriedly.
"I'm sorry. I was too shocked and subconsciously got up from my seat. But I'm fine. I just feel a little pain in my shoulder." Wang Ruyue was trying to show that she was okay.
"Please be more careful. I was also shocked when I heard about sword intent. But I can still restrain myself from overreacting like you." Huang Yuxin warned Wang Ruyue.
"Ahaha... I understand. I will remember your words." Wang Ruyue nodded and smiled. Then she turned her eyes to Wang Zeming.
"Are you sure that's a sword intent? I also felt the sensation of being cut into pieces when Tenku used that move. But I don't know what it is because I have never personally seen or felt sword intent and have only heard about it from my grandfather." Wang Ruyue asked to confirm Wang Zeming's words.
"I'm sure. I've seen it directly from my grandfather's friend, who also taught me a little about how I can master sword intent. Unfortunately, it was hard for me until now." Wang Zeming answered thoughtfully.
Unlike the sword Qi which could be obtained when a practitioner understood the concept of using Qi and sword as an offensive weapon, a cultivator could only use sword intent when he deeply understood the essence of swordsmanship.
Sword intent is much more difficult to master as it requires excellent comprehension and years. Usually, cultivators had to focus on one weapon to use sword intent.
Tenku could use sword intent when he was proficient with some other weapons. Besides, he was less than twenty years old. Even Lin Zhantian, who was called a genius swordsman, could not master sword intent until now.
It felt unreasonable to Wang Zeming. But then he remembered what Huang Yuxin and Wang Ruyue had said. Tenku couldn't be judged by common sense and couldn't be compared to the cultivators in that place. He could only sigh and accept it as he had proven their words firsthand with his eyes.
"In other words, isn't Tenku more worthy of being called a genius swordsman than Lin Zhantian?" Wang Ruyue asked, and her face became excited. She and Huang Yuxin both felt proud when they thought of that.
"We shouldn't talk about that for now but focus on the match in the arena. If he could win this competition, he would earn the title of genius swordsman and the strongest young cultivator." Wang Zeming reminded the two girls.
"You are right. The real match had just begun. This battle will determine the fate of the Wang family and me." Wang Ruyue's face became grave. She clenched his fists tightly and tensed up as she thought about the matter.
"You need to calm down, Ruyue. Tenku will win this match." Huang Yuxin held Wang Ruyue's hand and smiled. She showed her absolute trust in Tenku and made Wang Ruyue's heart calm down.
"Yeah, Tenku will win!" Wang Ruyue nodded vigorously in response. Then the three people returned their attention to the match in the arena.
At the same time, the patriarch and elders from the Lin family on the high platform were shocked and disappointed by what happened in the arena. They were surprised that Tenku could master sword intent at such a young age, and they were disappointed that Lin Zhantian had lost the match. That way, Lin Zhantian could only occupy third place.
"Your disciple can always surprise us, Haotian. How much strength is he hiding? But I have to admit that he is a monster. He's too evil for his age." Lin Ruiming sighed and then looked at Wang Haotian.
"Yes, I agree with you. His cultivation base was extremely high for a fifteen-year-old boy, and he could also master sword Qi and sword intent. Moreover, he could also perfectly learn the three practices from the Wang family. Maybe the word monster is still not enough to describe his talent." Long Haoran nodded at Lin Ruiming's words.
"I can't wait to see what he'll show in the battle to surprise us again." Jin Zhanjian added.
"Ahaha… I thank you for your words of praise for my student. I don't know what you expect from him, but you might get another surprise in this match. So prepare yourself when watching their battle." Wang Haotian mysteriously said, and his words made the people on the high platform even more curious.
On the other hand, only the Gu family had a different feeling from the rest. They looked at Tenku with murderous intent because they thought that Tenku was dangerous to Gu Qingyang and their family.
