Tenku frowned because he sensed Gu Qingyang's malicious intent when that person looked at them. He was sure that Wang Ruyue and Wang Zeming were also aware.
"Even though he can't do as he pleases due to the rules of this competition, you still have to be careful with him. Xiuying will be sad if something wrong happens to you." Wang Ruyue said worriedly to Wang Xin.
"I understand. You don't need to worry about that. I'll be careful." Wang Xin replied with a smile.
"If you feel you can't continue the match, you must admit defeat. I had a bad feeling from that smile and was sure he was planning to do something to you in the arena." Wang Zeming said seriously.
"I would do that if I thought I couldn't fight him." Wang Xin nodded and walked into the arena with determination.
"No wonder he didn't say much after coming here. It turned out that he was thinking about his match with Gu Qingyang. But why didn't he tell us he would fight that guy?" Wang Zeming muttered after Wang Xin left them into the arena. Even though his voice was low, his words were heard by Tenku and the others.
"He didn't want to worry us and prevent him from fighting against Gu Qingyang. Wang Xin was aware of the difference in his strength with the first genius of the Gu family. He was scared, nervous, and tense but still wanted to fight him for the Wang family. You should know that when you saw his expression before he entered the arena." Tenku answered and glanced at Gu Qingyang.
Tenku felt that Wang Xin would not leave the arena in good condition after the match. But he still hoped that it wouldn't be so bad. Even though he had known Wang Xin only briefly, they could be considered acquaintances, and Tenku didn't want to see him get hurt in that fight.
"Yes, you're right. He doesn't want us to worry about him. But he should tell us about his opponents in the second round so we can give him some advice or make a plan for him." Wang Ruyue said disappointedly.
"He knows plans or tricks are useless when faced with absolute strength. He was sure he would lose this match but still wanted to fight, not to embarrass the Wang family. So talking about it or not with you won't change anything." Tenku shook his head in response.
ραпdα Йᴏνê|(сòm) Wang Zeming, Wang Ruyue, and Huang Yuxin fell silent when they heard Tenku's words.
"Why? Is there something wrong with my words?" Tenku was confused by their reactions.
"Ah, no. I didn't expect that a fifteen-year-old boy could say such a thing. You look much more mature than your age." Wang Ruyue replied, and the other two nodded in agreement with her.
"Hmm... it must be because your grandfather taught me so hard that I became an adult before the time." Tenku lifted the corner of his lips slightly when he recalled what Wang Haotian had taught him in the past. That old man sometimes looks wise but sometimes is childish and annoying.
"I understand how you feel." Wang Ruyue smiled nostalgically. She also felt what Tenku had experienced but not as hard as him because Wang Haotian trained him to be the strongest cultivator.
"Okay, we don't need to discuss the matter any further. We should focus on Wang Xin's match against Gu Qingyang and prepare for the worst." Tenku tried to return the topic to their main problem. He didn't want them to be distracted by anything else.
Wang Ruyue and Wang Zeming nodded and understood what Tenku meant. They hoped that Wang Xin would be fine in that match.
On the other hand, Huang Yuxin looked at Tenku with sparkling eyes. Tenku was not only a young genius cultivator but also had a mature mind. She is increasingly convinced to make Tenku a fake boyfriend to introduce to her mother. Then Huang Yuxin smiled and turned her attention back to the arena.
After selecting their weapons, Wang Xin and Gu Qingyang stood facing each other in the arena. Wang Xin used a greatsword, while Gu Qingyang chose a standard sword.
"You are very stubborn. I warned you to give up in the second round after you won the match in arena A, but you didn't want to listen to it. Do you think you can beat me with just fighting spirit?" Gu Qingyang opened his mouth when he saw Wang Xin's serious face.
When picking up the lottery numbers yesterday, Wang Xin got the paper with the number one, and Gu Qingyang got the number three. They meet in arena A but don't fight each other because they have their own opponents.
After winning his match against a fairly strong cultivator, Wang Xin received a warning from Gu Qingyang to give up in the next round because his opponent was him. Gu Qingyang warned him not out of pity, but he didn't want to waste his energy on a weak cultivator like Wang Xin.
Even though Wang Xin was considered one of the geniuses of the Wang family, in Gu Qingyang's eyes, he was nothing but an ant he could step on at any moment.
"I don't know if I can beat you or not. But I will try my best in this match. After all, why should I listen to your words? Who are you?" Wang Xin replied coldly.
"Oh, I see. I don't mind playing a bit with you. Coincidentally, I needed someone to vent my anger on." Gu Qingyang grinned.
"Stop chatting! We will start the second round now. Are you ready?" Jin Zhaohui came over and interrupted their conversation. The other seven referees spread around the arena to oversee the match.
"I am ready!"
Wang Xin answered firmly, while Gu Qingyang responded with a nod.
"Then the fight begins!" Jin Zhaohui announced the start of the first match in the second round.
"You can attack me first. Because you will lose once I make a move." Gu Qingyang said arrogantly. He was confident in his strength and could trounce Wang Xin.
Wang Xin didn't say much and immediately charged Gu Qingyang. He moved swiftly and swung his greatsword at his opponent. Even though Wang Xin couldn't beat him, he at least wanted to hurt Gu Qingyang and take revenge for what the people of the Gu family had done to the disciples of the Wang family.
Clank!
Gu Qingyang easily parried Wang Xin's attack without moving from his spot. Wang Xin was knocked back by the impact of their clash but quickly stabilized himself and attacked again.
"So weak! You're like a granny. Can you strike more forcefully like a man?" Gu Qingyang mocked Wang Xin.
"Die!" Wang Xin gritted his teeth angrily after hearing Gu Qingyang belittle him. He gathered Qi on his sword and slashed it Vertically.
Clank!
Wang Xin's attack was blocked for the second time. He was blown away several meters as Gu Qingyang used a bit of force on his sword and pushed him backward.
"Damn! Is the difference in our strength that big!? Can I do nothing in this match!?" Wang Xin clicked his tongue. He was losing his temper as no single strike from him could knock Gu Qingyang back even by one step.
"Your second attack was slightly stronger than before. But still very weak. You are no longer a grandmother but a girl." Gu Qingyang smiled playfully and deliberately insulted Wang Xin to anger him.
"Bastard!" Wang Xin tightly gripped his sword and glared at Gu Qingyang. He compressed more Qi into the blade and swung it at his opponent.
Clank!
"What!?" Wang Xin looked in disbelief as his attack had been easily blocked three times.
"This attack was stronger than before but still not enough. If you have no other attacks, then now is my turn." Gu Qingyang spoke, and his figure suddenly disappeared. Then he appeared in front of wang Xin and slashed his sword.
"So fast!" Wang Xin was startled but quickly regained his senses and dodged the attack.
Slash!
Gu Qingyang's strike fell where Wang Xin was standing earlier and carved a scar across the arena. The referees and spectators were shocked when they saw the sight. Gu Qingyang casually swung his sword and was able to damage the floor of the battle arena. So, what if he used his full strength?
"You're not bad for being able to dodge my attacks. Then, dodge my next attack." Gu Qingyang disappeared again and reappeared next to Wang Xin.
"Damn it!" I won't be able to avoid it! In that case, I will fight him head-on!" Wang Xin said and swung his sword at Gu Qingyang.
Clank!
Wang Xin was blown away several meters by the impact of their clash. He saw his sword tremble and his hand numb from blocking the attack.
But Gu Qingyang wasn't done with his attack yet and suddenly appeared behind Wang Xin and kicked him.
"Argh!" Wang Xin spat out blood, and he felt that a few of his bones were breaking. Gu Qingyang appeared again before him and kicked him in the stomach.
"Urrgh!"
Gu Qingyang kept repeating his attack pattern for a few moments, and Wang Xin vomited blood every time he was hit. He did not give Wang Xin the slightest moment to catch his breath and counterattack. Gu Qingyang toyed with Wang Xin like a pinball, making the onlookers shiver.
"You won't be able to beat me easily!" Wang Xin roared and tried to slash at Gu Qingyang when he appeared in front of him. But his attack was useless as Gu Qingyang easily dodged it and kicked him in the face.
"Argh!" Wang Xin was blown away and rolled around in the arena. But then he quickly got up again even though his body was battered and many of the bones in his body were broken.
"Cough!" Wang Xin coughed up blood and heard Wang Ruyue and Wang Xiuying's worried cries but ignored them. He held his sword and intended to attack Gu Qingyang again. Unfortunately, he had difficulty moving in his current state and could only stand while glaring at Gu Qingyang intently.
"Stubborn." Gu Qingyang said coldly and was irritated by Wang Xin's unyielding spirit. He landed a kick on Wang Xin's chest and knocked him down in the arena.
"I won't lose easily to you." Wang Xin squeezed out his strength to speak and tried to stand up again.
"Since you insist on standing up, I will make you unable to do it again." Gu Qingyan grinned and stepped on Wang Xin's leg.
Click!
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Wang Xin's screams echoed in the sky above arena D.
