Chapter 21: Senior, It Seems My Fire Dragon Is Bigger Than Yours!
[Daring to be so harsh to Brother Tianming, this Wang Jian is truly despicable!]
[Do you even know, he is the boyfriend of me, the reborn Ice Goddess!]
Upon hearing Wang Jian dare to berate her Brother Tianming like that, Ye Qingxue stood up even before Lin Tianming, wanting to teach Wang Jian a lesson.
However, just as she stood up, she was pressed back down by Lin Tianming who got up later.
"Brother Tianming, why did you..."
Before Ye Qingxue, who wanted to stand up for Lin Tianming, could finish her sentence, Lin Tianming interrupted her again, "Let me handle this."
Meeting Lin Tianming's obvious intent to beat up Wang Jian in his gaze, Ye Qingxue understood that Lin Tianming wanted to handle it himself.
"Alright then, Brother Tianming, Qingxue will wait for your good news!"
After spending two months with Lin Tianming post-rebirth, Ye Qingxue was very confident in Lin Tianming's talent and strength.
Even though she had the experience of an awakened Ice Goddess from before her rebirth, in a normal sparring match without going all out, she didn't have absolute confidence to win against Lin Tianming.
Both having SSS-level talents, sometimes Ye Qingxue even suspected that there was a talent level above SSS that couldn't be measured by the awakening ceremony, and that was why Lin Tianming's power "God's Hand" was rated as SSS-level.
After pressing Ye Qingxue back down, Lin Tianming turned around with a cold face and fearlessly walked towards Wang Jian, who was already a second-year student.
Seeing Lin Tianming approaching, Wang Jian sneered, "Not hiding behind a woman and being timid, you actually have some guts. But even if you have guts, I'll still beat you down, teaching you, a freshman, the first lesson on how to respect your seniors!"
Finishing his words, Wang Jian, who had just been beaten up by Feng Lan and was eager to save face, was about to strike Lin Tianming, but Lin Tianming called out to stop him.
"Wait a minute."
Hearing this, Wang Jian paused his action and looked at Lin Tianming with amusement.
"What? Are you scared now and want to beg for mercy? Alright! As long as you kneel down and kowtow to me, I, your senior, can be generous and spare you!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Tianming shook his head again, "I'm not like Feng Lan who knows how to control his strength when I make a move. I'm afraid I'll accidentally break this cafeteria and hurt innocent bystanders. Let's go outside and find an open space to fight."
"You freshmen are really troublesome! But since you are weaker than me, let's go outside. That way I can fight freely!"
Wang Jian agreed to Lin Tianming's proposal, and the two walked out of the cafeteria together.
Nearby students who noticed their conflict followed them, eager to watch the commotion.
Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan saw Lin Tianming leave, and they hurried to follow.
In an open area near the North Gate cafeteria, the news that Lin Tianming and Wang Jian were about to fight had spread, attracting a large number of students who weren't originally in the cafeteria.
Among them were many freshmen who had seen how Lin Tianming had passed the freshman test.
"Hey... isn't that Lin Tianming, one of the only two SSS-level talents admitted this year? How did he provoke that senior?"
"Oh my! Although Lin Tianming is one of the only two SSS-level talents among this year's freshmen, he just enrolled. How dare he challenge a second-year student!"
"Who cares! This is going to be fun to watch! No matter who wins, it'll definitely be the headline in our Imperial University social circle! Hurry up and take pictures! Or record a video and upload it online to earn some extra cash!"
The surrounding students' discussions were also heard by Wang Jian.
He frowned, "You are also an SSS-level freshman?"
Lin Tianming didn't answer, but instead smiled, "What, is it our senior's turn to be scared now?"
Being mocked by Lin Tianming, Wang Jian angrily replied, "You arrogant brat! I lost to Feng Lan earlier because she wielded the Feng family's heritage sword. Even though she's ten levels lower than me, in a normal fight, she wouldn't be my opponent! As for you, a kid with no background or resources, you can't possibly be my match!"
In fact, Lin Tianming also had divine artifacts, and more than one, thanks to his little girlfriend Ye Qingxue.
If it weren't for the opportunities she provided, he wouldn't have been able to control so many divine-level treasures at such a low level.
However, Lin Tianming was confident he could win against Wang Jian without using those artifacts.
"Senior, are you getting anxious?"
Lin Tianming's mocking words were highly provocative, enraging Wang Jian.
"Who's anxious? You disrespectful brat, let me, your senior, teach you how to respect your elders! Don't think that just because you have an SSS-level ability, you can do whatever you want!"
Lin Tianming, enjoying this game, continued to taunt, "An SSS-level ability does allow one to do whatever they want!"
"You've successfully angered me! I'm going to publicly humiliate you, this SSS-level brat, in front of everyone!"
Completely enraged by Lin Tianming's continuous taunts, Wang Jian's body ignited with burning flames.
Under the shocked gazes of all the onlooking students, the burning flames quickly formed into a fire dragon.
The blazing fire dragon, almost like a real dragon, surged towards Lin Tianming with intense heat.
Seeing Wang Jian's fire dragon, Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised, "A fire dragon? Senior, this move is not bad!"
But in the next second, he changed his tone, "It's just a pity, it's mine now!"
As he finished speaking, flames similar to Wang Jian's surged around Lin Tianming and quickly formed a fire dragon as well.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxue, who was watching, smiled, "Brother Tianming has activated the copying skill of God's Hand! This thick-skinned senior is doomed!"
Standing next to Ye Qingxue, Feng Lan, who also understood Lin Tianming's God's Hand, believed that Lin Tianming would definitely win, though she said nothing.
As the two fire dragons were about to collide, Wang Jian was stunned, "This... how is this possible? How can you use my fire dragon skill!"
Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly. His copied fire dragon, upon colliding with Wang Jian's, suddenly expanded, unleashing a power even stronger than the original fire dragon skill.
This was the result of Lin Tianming's hard work, leveling up to level fifteen in the past two months.
His God's Hand ability, initially capable of copying an opponent's skill at 100% power, had gained a new ability.
Except for super-level forbidden spells, he could perfectly copy lower-level skills and enhance their power, unleashing a might stronger than the original skill.
Lin Tianming's suddenly enhanced copied fire dragon easily tore through Wang Jian's original and continued to charge towards Wang Jian with unstoppable force.
"Senior, it seems my fire dragon is bigger than yours! What's going on?"
Hearing Lin Tianming's mocking voice, Wang Jian felt fear and turned to flee.
However, he was too slow.
In just a moment, he was hit by Lin Tianming's copied fire dragon, screaming like a pig being slaughtered.
"Stop... stop burning! I... I admit defeat! I lost! Ouch... I'm going to be burned to death!"
