Time returned to when Tenku parted ways with Wang Ruyue and walked towards arena G. When he arrived, he saw an acquaintance of one of the three participants there, to be more precise, his enemy, Wang Xiqing.

Wang Xiqing noticed Tenku's appearance and then snorted when he saw him. Then he ignored Tenku and turned his attention to a girl next to him. Wang Xiqing seemed to be approaching the girl, but the other party didn't care what he said. Tenku could only shake his head at the sight.

When Tenku drew closer to the three people, he finally saw the girl clearly. He also heard her name from Wang Xiqing's mouth. The girl was called Su Lingxu. She is one of the four flowers in Beijing. Tenku didn't see her during the age and strength assessment because he was busy playing with his smartphone.

Tenku had to admit that the girl's face was no less beautiful than Wang Ruyue or Huan Yuxin's and even had advantages in certain areas. Tenku glanced at the girl's chest and was sure it was much bigger than Wang Ruyue's or Setsuka's.

Then Tenku sat down and paid no more attention to the girl. He took out his smartphone and saw dozens of incoming messages. Some were sent by Takaya, Noboru and Akina. They asked him how he was and what he was doing on vacation.

Meanwhile, the rest of the messages came from Setsuka. Since they exchanged messages two days ago, their relationship has become closer. At least now, the two could be considered friends and no longer acquaintances. Tenku didn't know whether this was the right thing to do. But he felt that Setsuka sincerely wanted to be friends with him.

Because of that, Tenku no longer cared about whether or not Setsuka recognized her when he helped her at Lake Shima or about Setsuka's identity as the daughter of the head of Fuyushima Temple.

If that girl intends to harm him, Tenku will stay away from her or maybe eliminate her. But Tenku quickly shook his head to dispel that thought. He opened the message from Setsuka and read its contents.

[Good morning! Are you awake?]

[What are you going to do today?]

[Am I bothering you?]

[Well then, have a nice day]

Tenku sighed as he read the contents. He felt that Setsuka was not like the usual Setsuka in those messages. That girl looked confused and didn't know what to say to start a conversation with Tenku.

"Does she not spend vacation time with her family?" Tenku felt that Setsuka always had time on her smartphone and had nothing to do for the past two days. But then he shook his head and didn't want to overthink the matter. Tenku typed his finger on his smartphone and replied to her message.

[Good morning. I'm sorry for checking my smartphone just now. You don't bother me, but I'll be busy until the evening]

Twenty-five seconds later, Setsuka replied to his message, and Tenku was shocked. He felt that the girl was standing by in front of her smartphone.

[I understand. Please let me know when you have finished your business. Whatever you do, I hope it goes well]

Tenku smiled slightly and quickly replied to her message.

[Thank you. I'll let you know after I'm done with my business]

After Tenku replied to Setsuka, he sent another message to his classmates and Akina.

Not long after, an old man appeared in arena G and spoke to them, but Tenku ignored him. According to the lottery numbers he got, he should be fighting in the second match, and one of the three people would be his opponent.

When Tenku focused on his smartphone, he suddenly raised his eyebrows because he felt the evil gaze from the person next to him. He glanced secretly and found Wang Xiqing looking at him viciously and smiling coldly. Tenku could tell what he was thinking. Wang Xiqing hopes Tenku will become his opponent and beat him in the arena.

Tenku could only shake his head and see Wang Xiqing as a clown. If he doesn't get rid of his evil intentions, Tenku doesn't mind crippling him for the rest of his life.

"Alright. We will start the match in the first round. For participants number 25 and 26, please enter the arena." The referee above the arena calls out the participants who will fight in the first match.

A young man stood up from the seat next to Tenku, and Wang Xiqing followed him. The first match was Wang Xiqing against a man he didn't know. Wang Xiqing looked disappointed that his opponent wasn't Tenku and looked at him fiercely before going into the arena.

After both participants entered the arena, the first match began. That way, Tenku could confirm that the participant who would be his opponent in the next battle would be Su Lingxu.

Tenku shrugged his shoulders and didn't care about that. He played with his smartphone to pass the time while waiting for his turn. But after playing it for a while, the girl beside him suddenly spoke to him.

"Are you the Japanese who participated in the martial arts competition to represent the Wang family and are rumored to have defeated twelve cultivators in the preliminary round?" Su Lingxu said in a seductive voice. She brought her face closer to Tenku's and leaned her upper body slightly.

Tenku's nose twitched when he smelled the sweet scent of Su Lingxu. He reflexively kept his distance from her as her face drew closer.

"If there are no other Japanese in this competition, then the person you are referring to is me." Tenku answered calmly.

"Ooh, it's really you! I only heard the people around me talking about your match in the preliminary round. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize you. After the age and strength assessment, I left arena D for some reason. You were more ordinary than I expected when I saw you in person. Your body is athletic and well-proportioned, but your face is only slightly more handsome than the average man." Su Lingxu said, a little disappointed.

She heard from those around her that the first Japanese to participate in a martial arts competition was a great person. Su Lingxu thought that Tenku must be very handsome and look perfect. But when she saw him, she shook her head because Tenku was average and ordinary.

"Is that so? Then, I apologize for not meeting your expectations." Tenku answered indifferently. He looked at his smartphone to check the news on the Holy Union's website and ignored Su Lingxu.

Tenku noticed Su Lingxu's disappointment in her face and tone of voice when talking to him, but he didn't care about that. Although the girl was beautiful, Tenku felt that Setsuka, Wang Ruyue, and Huang Yuxin looked more attractive with their temperaments.

"Why are you so cold? I'm just kidding with my words. Please don't overthink. Shouldn't we get to know each other before fighting in the arena?" Su Lingxu pursed her lip in dissatisfaction and said coquettishly. Then she moved the seat right next to Tenku.

Tenku frowned because Su Lingxu's behavior was a bit annoying, especially the part of her chest that bounced up and down when she moved.

"Why do we have to know each other? I will be your opponent in the arena instead of cooperating." Tenku replied flatly.

"Is it forbidden to know each other just because we are opponents in a match?" Su Lingxu whispered into Tenku's ear and rubbed her chest against his arm.

"What for?" Tenku asked without looking at Su Lingxu, but the supple and soft feeling on his arm bothered him a bit.

"Naturally, to establish friendship between us." Su Lingxu smiled and pressed her chest against Tenku

"There's no need for that since I'll return to Japan after the competition ends. So can you stay away from me? I feel uncomfortable with that." Tenku looked at her and said coldly.

Su Lingxu trembled slightly and quickly kept her distance from Tenku. She involuntarily felt frightened when she heard his voice.

(What's that? What's that horrible feeling? I heard he's only at the middle stage of the Earth Origin realm. So my cultivation base should be higher, and there's no way I'd get that feeling of fear from him. Even though I heard from people that he defeated twelve participants at once, I think it's just an exaggerated story because he doesn't look that strong. I'm sure the fear is just my feeling)

Su Lingxu's cultivation base was at the late stage of the Earth Origin realm and was the same age as Huang Yuxin, nineteen years old. She was sure that she was stronger than Tenku. Su Lingxu quickly regained her composure and then opened her mouth again.

"I'm sorry if my behavior made you uncomfortable. In that case, I won't tease you anymore. But may I know your name?" Su Lingxu asked, and she still maintained a smile on her face.

"My name is Tenku." Tenku answered briefly and returned his focus to his smartphone.

"I am Su Lingxu. You should already know that I am one of the geniuses and also the most beautiful girl in Beijing, just like Wang Ruyue. If you intend to get to know me better after this competition, you can call me at my number..." Su Lingxu didn't have time to continue her words because someone's voice interrupted her. It wasn't from Tenku but from a girl behind them.

"No need!"

"He doesn't need your contact, so there's no need to tease him with that big lump of meat on your chest!" Wang Ruyue said with a sullen face. She was irritated when she saw Su Lingxu trying to tease Tenku with her body.

"Ooh, Isn't it the miss of the Wang family who is about to marry the young master of the Gu family?" Su Lingxu looked at Wang Ruyue and said playfully.

"What do you mean by that?" Wang Ruyue said coldly. She was furious after hearing Su Lingxu's words. But before Su Lingxu could say anything, she was interrupted by the announcement of Wang Xiqing's victory. After that, the referee asked Tenku and Su Lingxu to enter the arena and start the second match.

"I will answer your question after my fight with Tenku." Su Lingxu called out Tenku's name intimately and deliberately provoked her before entering the arena. Wang Ruyue felt like exploding, but Tenku's voice stopped her.

"I will fight her in the arena. Please wait here a moment." Tenku smiled at Wang Ruyue.

"Yes. Be careful. She is a cunning woman." Wang Ruyue warned Tenku. She became calmer after seeing his smile.

"I understand." Tenku nodded and immediately followed Su Lingxu. They chose a different weapon. Tenku was still using the spear while Su Lingxu was holding the sword. After seeing the two enter the arena, the referee quickly started the match.

"The fight begins!"
