Global Awakening: Eavesdropping on the SSS-level School Beauty's Inner Voice-Chapter 92 - 91 Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan Come to Blows! Lin Tianming is Stunned!

Chapter 92: Chapter 91 Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan Come to Blows! Lin Tianming is Stunned!

Just now, when Qingxue saw Teacher Tianshui subdue the Water Spirit Bridge, Lin Tianming was green with envy.

Now it was finally his turn, and Lin Tianming was caressing the Ice Crystal Bell, which had quickly shrunk to the size of a bell after he subdued it, as if he couldn’t let it go.

With a smug look, he turned to Tianshui at his side and said, "Teacher Tianshui, am I amazing or what?"

Tianshui glanced at Lin Tianming, whose face was brimming with joy, and showed a gentle smile.

"Mm, I underestimated you, Brother Tianming. The Ice Attribute Divine Artefacts of the Ice and Snow Secret Realm are not as easy to subdue as those from other Secret Realms. There are impediments from the Deceitful God Power, as well as their natural resistance to non-native superpowers. I didn’t expect you could subdue it regardless."

[It seems that in this life since my rebirth, not only have the people around me changed, but even he... seems to have changed too...]

[It’s just that I can’t figure out where he obtained the Spiritual Power Ascension Power from. Before the arrival of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms, I can’t think of anywhere else such power could be pre-acquired...]

[Should I ask him? Forget it... It’s his own fortune in this life. Whether I ask or not doesn’t make any difference to me; I don’t need to become a Spiritual Power Ascender.]

Tianshui’s curiosity-filled thoughts were all heard by Lin Tianming.

She did not ask, and it suited Lin Tianming just fine as he did not wish to share with anyone how he had obtained the Spiritual Power Ascension Power.

Only Ye Qingxue, who had entered the Lost Land with him, knew about this, for she had seen with her own eyes how he jumped into the Spiritual Power Ascension Pool for the baptism.

Who knows how Teacher Tianshui, who had lived through the era of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms, would react if she discovered his Mechanical Ascender identity when he exhibited his Mechanical Transformation Skill.

To walk both the paths of Spiritual Power Ascension and Mechanical Ascension is something even the denizens of the Three Ascension Divine Kingdoms can’t achieve!

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but anticipate Teacher Tianshui’s surprised expression that might make her jaw drop — a consistently gentle presence like hers.

That would certainly be fun!

Having fiddled enough with the Ice Crystal Bell in his hands, Lin Tianming put aside the thought of teasing the gentle teacher for the time being, deciding instead to test out the Ice Crystal Bell’s ability.

With a thought, the Ice Crystal Bell swiftly grew in size and emitted a melodious ring.

As the bell rang, the entire Ancient Ruins Battlefield began to tremble as if in an earthquake.

Following that, Tianshui by Lin Tianming’s side was left mentally unguarded by the trembles of the Ice Crystal Bell, her mind in disarray.

[He... he didn’t even say a word before activating the Ice Crystal Bell? Without any defenses, even I would be affected by its sound!]

The next second, the mentally unguarded Tianshui was engulfed by the cold wave swept out by the bell’s sound, frozen solid right where she stood.

Lin Tianming had only wished to test the capabilities of the Ice Crystal Bell; it was never his intention to harm Tianshui.

Looking at Tianshui, who was first assaulted by the Soul Attack, then frozen in place, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

"Teacher Tianshui, I swear I didn’t do it on purpose..."

Even though it wasn’t intentional, Lin Tianming was quite satisfied with the combination punch of the Ice Crystal Bell that even affected Teacher Tianshui.

However, to catch someone near the top-level of Awakeners like Tianshui off guard, he’d need to treat it as a surprise move.

Otherwise, with Tianshui’s strength, she would definitely have methods to defend against Soul Attacks and resist the Ice Crystal Bell’s assault.

After testing out the Ice Crystal Bell’s power, Lin Tianming promptly stored it into his newly claimed Void Space.

Then he approached Tianshui and said to her, who was sealed in ice, "This Ice Crystal Bell only has the ability to freeze people, but it doesn’t have the ability to thaw ice. Teacher Tianshui, can you hear me? I was wondering... heh-heh, can you free yourself?"

Having accidentally given Tianshui a combination of blows, Lin Tianming felt somewhat guilty.

She was the only Goddess Reincarnator he had encountered so far who didn’t need to be won over and bore no ill will toward him, the original host whom she had been let down by.

While this was related to Tianshui’s overly gentle nature, one that seeks to evade reality, Lin Tianming certainly didn’t want this unintentional attack to cause her to change her mind about evading reality and decide to vehemently oppose him to the end.

Tianshui, though frozen in ice, was still capable of thought, and Lin Tianming closely observed her mental state.

[I thought he would try to take my Pure Water Origin again, just like in the previous life. It seems he really was just testing the power of the Ice Crystal Bell...]

[In this life, I haven’t mentioned the Pure Water Origin to him, so he can’t possibly think of taking my Pure Water Origin right now... Forget it, I’ll free myself!]

Noticing that Tianshui held no murderous intent towards him, Lin Tianming breathed a sigh of relief.

Under his gaze, the ice encasing Teacher Tianshui began to melt at a visible rate.

In a short time, Tianshui had melted all the ice herself and was free.

However, the method she used to free herself caused her body to emit steam-like vapor. Her water-blue clothes were also soaked by the mist, making her garments half-transparent and her skin barely visible underneath.

That’s quite a lot of water!

Lin Tianming found himself feeling a little thirsty.

Fearful of making things worse by continuing to look, Lin Tianming turned his gaze forward: "Let’s keep moving!"

Tianshui noticed that Lin Tianming had gotten an eyeful just then. Her face, still a bit moist, blushed slightly as she recalled the intimate relationship they shared before he took her Pure Water Origin in her previous life.

[Don’t overthink it, Tianshui. Have you forgotten the oath you made upon rebirth just over two months ago?]

[You can spare him in this life, but you must cut all ties with him. Harboring any fantasies about him, you’ll only get hurt again in this life!]

[After leaving, return to Shuijing Academy. The farther away from him, the better. This life, you must forget... forget... forget!]

After admonishing himself in such a manner, Tianming’s emotions, stirred by memories of a past life, gradually returned to tranquility.

Lin Tianming heard Tianming’s inner voice that wanted only to escape from reality, and he didn’t know what to say to her.

Since the original soul had owed her and she wished to escape, he decided it was best to respect her wish and avoid provoking her.

If she was out of sight, out of mind, wouldn’t it be better for both? He would have one less Goddess Reincarnator to strategize about, and why not be happy about that?

Thinking this, Lin Tianming made up his mind.

After leaving the Ice and Snow Secret Realm this time, he would try his best to stay away from the Heavenly Water Goddess!

On the road that followed, because of the enchanting scenery just witnessed, both Lin Tianming and Tianming fell into a long silence.

It wasn’t until they arrived at the entrance of an ice cave strewn with countless shattered ice fragments that the well-informed Tianming broke the silence.

"Little Brother Tianming, those scattered broken ice fragments at the entrance of the ice cave are parts of two Ice Guards. If we want to enter this cave, we’ll probably disturb them, so..."

Before Tianming could finish her sentence, Lin Tianming walked towards the scattered broken ice fragments.

"Since they are guardians of the ice cave entrance, we will inevitably disturb them upon entering. Rather than finding a way to avoid them, it’s better to trigger them and shatter them head-on!"

[Tianming is too hasty, he didn’t even let me finish. I came here once in my past life, I know how to avoid them!]

[The two Ice Guards can adapt their strength according to the level of their opponent; there’s no need to waste time here!]

Lin Tianming had already reached the scattered parts of the two Ice Guards when he heard Tianming’s thoughts.

He felt a bit frustrated; if he’d known that Tianming knew how to avoid them, he wouldn’t have brazenly walked over here.

Just as Lin Tianming was preparing to confront them, he found the Ice Guard parts on the ground still motionless.

He even boldly poked the parts on the ground with his hand, but there was no sign of them reassembling and attacking him.

He turned around and waved to Tianming: "Teacher Tianshui, it seems they won’t strike at us just because they are disturbed, as you said."

Tianming also quickly came over and crouched to carefully inspect the Ice Guard parts.

After a moment, she frowned and said, "Someone has been here one step ahead of us, having already defeated these two Ice Guards. Their Cold Ice Core power has been exhausted, and they must recover before they can continue guarding the ice cave, which is why they haven’t responded to our arrival."

Hearing Tianming’s analysis, Lin Tianming suddenly brightened: "Could it have been my Qingxue who did this?"

Tianming shook her head: "I’m not sure; there are two different elemental attribute powers nearby."

Two different elemental attribute powers?

Lin Tianming pondered for a moment and then said, "Never mind, let’s go in too, Teacher Tianshui. We can’t let others snatch the treasures inside!"

"Right, let’s go in and have a look."

Tianming nodded slightly and accompanied Lin Tianming into the ice cave.

Passing through the initial corridor of the ice cave entrance, Lin Tianming and Tianming quickly arrived at the Ice Crystal Hall, an inner sanctuary within the ice cave.

As soon as they entered, Lin Tianming hadn’t even had the chance to observe what was inside when a Wind Blade attacked him.

Having just entered and instantly confronted with an attack, Lin Tianming swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding it.

Just as he dodged the attack and was about to look in the direction the Wind Blade came from to see who was attacking him, several Ice Cones came flying at him from another direction.

Wave upon wave of attacks left Lin Tianming to quickly dodge again, avoiding the Ice Cones.

The two spots where he had stood were completely ravaged by the Ice Cones and Wind Blade, creating large fissures.

As Lin Tianming finally had a moment to see who was attacking him, he was stunned by two familiar voices that he heard back-to-back.

"Don’t you dare come any closer! The Ice Soul Crystal is mine!"

"Get lost! You can’t possibly believe I’m afraid of you, can you?"

These two voices—it sounded like Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan!

Immediately recognizing the owners of these voices, Lin Tianming fixed his eyes in their direction.

As he had guessed, the ones who had successively attacked him with Wind Blade and Ice Cones were indeed Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan.

Seeing that it was indeed the two of them, and moreover, they were fighting fiercely in the Ice Crystal Hall, using attacks far exceeding those of ordinary peers at their level, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but rub his temples.

"Why is Feng Lan here, too? This is going to be troublesome!"

As Lin Tianming was feeling the headache of Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue fighting in the Ice Crystal Hall, they launched another powerful attack towards him, not caring at all whether anybody else was around.

A dense barrage of frost arrows sealed off the area above his head.

Several raging tornadoes blocked the ground around him.

Caught between the barrage of frost arrows and the tornadoes, Lin Tianming, who hadn’t done anything, found himself inexplicably trapped in a corner with no way out.

He was completely dumbstruck.
