Chapter 125 125

Time returned to when Gu Qingyang had eaten the Qi Explosion Pill and suppressed Tenku. Wang Ruyue and the others panicked and felt their hearts get stuck in their throats when they saw Tenku get hit by that poisonous black energy. Even though they had never seen such an attack, they knew it was dangerous.

It wasn't long before they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tenku had managed to survive Gu Qingyang's attack and come out alive and well. But that feeling of calm was only temporary as Huang Yuxin, and the others were shaken after seeing Tenku unleash his powers in the Sky Origin realm.

Even though the two girls said they believed in Tenku, they couldn't help but be shocked when their thoughts came true. They did not expect he could have a cultivation base in the Sky Origin realm at fifteen. It was like a dream for them.

"His cultivation base was actually at the Sky Origin realm?" Wang Ruyue asked in a trembling voice. Even though she saw it with her own eyes, she still couldn't believe it.

"Yes, I also feel his power. I believe he is now at the initial stage of the Sky Origin realm, and his cultivation base looks pretty stable." Huang Yuxin replied. She had the same feelings as Wang Ruyue despite appearing calm on the surface.

"That means he's been in that realm long enough to consolidate his cultivation base. So his actual strength may be even higher than what he's showing us now. His true cultivation base might be in the middle stage..." Wang Zeming added.

But before he could finish his words, Tenku's strength increased again and stopped at the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm. The sight made Wang Zeming and the others freeze.

"This is... we're not dreaming, right?" Wang Ruyue said in disbelief. She thought that the scene in front of her was an illusion.

"No. We are not dreaming. Tenku's cultivation base was indeed in the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm." Huang Yuxin answered, and she accepted it more quickly than Wang Ruyue.

"Amazing. Just like you said, none of the young cultivators in this competition deserved to be called a genius in front of him. No... Not only in this competition but also in China. I can't believe there will be another Tenku in this world. He was a monster with natural cultivation talent. I'm a fool for comparing myself to him." Wang Zeming said and smiled bitterly.

When he discovered that Tenku had the power at the great perfection of the Earth Origin realm, it made him jealous. But after seeing Tenku's cultivation base soar by two small realms successively and stopping at the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm, he couldn't help but shake his head and throw away what he had thought.

Wang Zeming realized it was pointless to be jealous of an absurd existence like Tenku. If he continued to think about that, it would only become a demon in his heart and hinder his cultivation progress.

"Yes. He's awesome." Huang Yuxin nodded in agreement and looked at Tenku with shining eyes. Among the three people, she was the first to regain her senses, and her current feelings were no longer shock but excitement.

Huang Yuxin meets Tenku by accident and wants to get him as a fake boyfriend after seeing his battle against twelve people at once and win. Since then, she has been determined to make Tenku accept her request. But who would have thought that the boy turned out to be a super genius?

Her body heated up, and her heart thumped wildly when she thought about it. Initially, Huang Yuxin started interested in Tenku because of his strength. But now, she wants to get closer and get to know him better because Tenku is very mysterious and makes her curious. Not just as a fake boyfriend or friend, but more than that.

Huang Yuxin would do anything to bring Tenku back to her home and introduce him to her mother. That way, she would stop asking her daughter to meet other men. But deep inside, Huang Yuxin wanted to introduce Tenku as her real boyfriend, but she still didn't realize her feelings.

On the other hand, Wang Ruyue's feelings were no different from Huang Yuxin's. She liked Tenku before that girl and before she knew how strong he was. But after Wang Ruyue saw the surprise after surprise that Tenku gave her in every match, the single flower plant in her heart had now turned into a flower garden.

Every female cultivator liked strong men, and Wang Ruyue was no exception. She clenched her fists tightly in front of her chest and tried to calm her racing heart. But the more Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku, the stronger her pounding became, and she felt her heart would explode.

As the two girls were lost in their thoughts, they suddenly stood up from their seats in panic after seeing Gu Qingyang releasing a thick dark aura that looked sinister.

"What's that?" Wang Ruyue and the others said in unison.

The patriarchs and elders on the high platform also noticed the anomaly that happened to Gu Qingyang in the arena.

A few minutes before, they were speechless from amazement when they saw Tenku's power. The boy gave them another big surprise. It felt unreal because they believed that no fifteen-year-old boy had a cultivation base at the middle stage of the Sky Origin realm in China's cultivation history.

But now, the patriarchs and elders of the major families saw one before their eyes. They ran out of words to describe how terrifying Tenku's talent was in cultivation.

Not long after, another incident occurred in the arena. The patriarchs and elders saw pitch-black Qi overflowing from Gu Qingyang's body. Their eyes were focused on the image of the demon's face above their heads because they didn't know about it. After that, they turned their eyes to where the Gu family sat to ask for their explanation.

Unfortunately, none of the Gu family intended to talk about it after seeing Gu Qingyang's situation. They didn't want to explain the matter because it was a secret of the Gu family.

What happened to Gu Qingyang was a side effect of using demon transformation that only the Gu family knew about. When a cultivator is consumed by his emotions, his control over the poisonous black Qi weakens, and it tries to take over his body.

That black poisonous Qi was created after a cultivator learned the Ancient Demon Scripture. The deeper the understanding and the longer the practice, the more abundant and thicker the black Qi.

Even though the black Qi was mighty, it was like a double-edged sword. It was like a parasite that could take over its host's body at any time. Usually, it happens when a cultivator can't control his emotions.

"Qingyang, you must calm yourself down and control that Black Qi. Otherwise, you might just become a complete devil." Gu Yuxuan clenched his fists tightly when he saw the state of his grandson in the arena. He and the other Gu family elders hoped that Gu Qingyang would be able to regain consciousness. In this way, he would gain tremendous power from the black Qi.

Meanwhile, Tenku in the arena wore a solemn face when he saw the image of a demon's face above Gu Qingyang. He felt that his opponent would become extremely dangerous if he could complete the transformation.

Even though Tenku could still increase his cultivation base to the late stage of the Sky Origin realm, he didn't want to show it as much as possible and wanted to keep it as a trump card. He didn't know whether or not the Gu family would target him after this competition ended. But he better be on guard for the worst possible scenario.

"I must defeat him before he completes his transformation and becomes even more troublesome." Tenku said seriously, and he brandished his sword. He injected all the remaining Qi in his body and added sword intent to the blade.

The sword vibrated violently and slowly cracked because it couldn't contain Tenku's power. After the Qi in the blade stabilized, he slashed toward Gu Qingyang.

Sword of Demolition!

A gigantic aura blade with sword intent shot out like lightning and carved a deep scar along its trajectory. Gu Qingyang still didn't notice because he was now in a trance. But when he found out, it was too late because Tenku's attack had already arrived in front of him.

Slash!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Gu Qingyang roared in pain and fell to his knees after being hit by Tenku's attack. His voice was mixed with something sinister, making the people in the place shiver. It was like the screams of a demon tormented in hell.

Tenku's aura blade hit Gu Qingyang, and his sword intent split the demonic shadow above him in half. Luckily, Tenku could stop him before his opponent finished his transformation. If he was two steps too late, he might have to increase his strength again to fight against Gu Qingyang.

"Urgh… What happened to me?" Gu Qingyang regained consciousness, but he felt a pain in his chest. When he checked it, he was startled after seeing a large gash on his body. He had no memory of having such an injury before.

"Did you do it!? Are you using illusions again to attack me!" Gu Qingyang looked at Tenku angrily, thinking that his opponent had used a cunning trick to hurt him.

"Ooh, have you regained your senses?" Tenku said indifferently and slowly walked over to Gu Qingyang.

"Don't come near me! Otherwise, I will kill you! Do you think you can defeat me with such sneaky means!? Huh..." Gu Qinyang tried to stand up and attack Tenku. But he was shocked when he realized he couldn't use his Qi.

"You! What have you done to me!? I can't use my Qi! You must have done something to my body! You have cheated!" Gu Qingyang raised his voice. He panicked when he felt his body weak and difficult to move.

"Are you stupid? If I had cheated, the referees would have eliminated me." Tenku said without stopping his footsteps.

After hearing his words, Gu Qingyang quickly looked at Jin Zhaohui and the referees around the arena. They just kept silent, and there was no sign that they would stop the match. In other words, Tenku wasn't cheating.

"Impossible! You must be cheating! There's no way I could lose to you!" Gu Qingyang roared at Tenku and didn't believe his words.

"It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But now is the time for you to pay for what you did to Wang Xin." Tenku stopped right in front of Gu Qingyang and looked at him coldly.
