Chapter 30: Jiang Han Wants to Develop Lin Tianming's Potential as a Psychic Ascender!
"Stupid kid, what are you standing there for? You've taken the Furious Thunder Armor from the Thunderstorm Bear, now steal another skill!"
Hearing Jiang Han reminding him to continue stealing the Thunderstorm Bear's skills, Lin Tianming, who thought he could only steal one skill, squinted his eyes.
"Forget it, Teacher Jiang Han, I'll try again next time. Right now, I just want to focus on stealing the Furious Thunder Armor skill. I haven't decided on the second skill yet."
Jiang Han frowned at his words: "Are you doubting the suitability of the Thunderstorm Bear skills I carefully selected for you?"
"Of course not, I just haven't made up my mind yet!"
Lin Tianming was lying; he just didn't want to expose his other skill, Psychic Transformation.
After listening to Jiang Han's description of the theft, Lin Tianming identified both the Spirit Spark and Psychic Transformation as stolen.
Including the Wall of Thunder and Furious Thunder Armor, he had exactly four skills, reaching the skill limit Jiang Han mentioned.
Not wanting Jiang Han to know about the existence of Psychic Transformation, Lin Tianming had to play dumb.
Jiang Han thought for a moment and, as his teacher, she made a plan for him.
"If you haven't decided, then listen to me. Steal and learn Thunderous Rage. Right now, only your copied skills have power amplification effects. With Thunderous Rage, all your skills will have attack and speed bonuses."
"This..."
"What, don't trust my plan?"
"Of course not, I'll give it a try!"
Lin Tianming didn't think he could continue stealing new skills, but under Teacher Jiang Han's insistence, he tried.
If it didn't work, he'd have to explain that he also had Psychic Transformation.
Only Ye Qingxue, who entered the Lost Land with him, knew about this skill, making it one of Lin Tianming's trump cards.
Lin Tianming immediately activated the theft. He was ready to explain the failure to Jiang Han, but surprisingly, he succeeded in stealing Thunderous Rage.
He seriously doubted his eyes and immediately tried to use it.
After repeatedly confirming that he had indeed stolen Thunderous Rage, Lin Tianming rubbed his temples, feeling a bit dizzy.
Teacher Jiang Han said his theft skill limit was four at level fifteen.
He already had Spirit Spark, Psychic Transformation, Wall of Thunder, and Furious Thunder Armor, so how could he keep stealing?
Could Teacher Jiang Han be wrong?
With this thought, Lin Tianming tried to steal the Thunderstorm Bear's Thunder Stomp.
When Thunder Stomp successfully entered his skill list and he used it, Lin Tianming felt more and more that Jiang Han's limit was inaccurate.
He suspected his theft ability might have no limit.
Then he tried to steal the Thunderstorm Bear's fourth skill, Thunder Bear Claw.
However, this time, his theft failed, even though he thought there was no limit.
Just when he thought he understood his theft ability, Lin Tianming was confused again.
What was going on?
Beside him, Jiang Han also saw Lin Tianming's repeated successful use of the theft ability twice and was a bit stunned.
Because this was different from the results she got from accompanying Lin Tianming to develop the potential limits of the God Hand in her previous life!
But after a short thoughtful period, Jiang Han patted Lin Tianming's head as he was pondering.
"Kid, try using the Wall of Thunder you learned yesterday again!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming immediately complied and used the Wall of Thunder.
As Lin Tianming used the Wall of Thunder, Jiang Han asked, "Now look at the Wall of Thunder you're using, does it belong to the God Hand theft ability I just reminded you of?"
With Jiang Han's reminder, Lin Tianming checked immediately, and this time, the Wall of Thunder skill was indeed under the God Hand theft ability.
But he had a new question: "It is, Teacher Jiang Han! But why didn't I see the theft ability affiliation when I used the Wall of Thunder before?"
Facing Lin Tianming's question, Jiang Han patiently explained: "Because you never actively used the theft ability before, so your God Hand ability list only had the copying ability column. Now that you actively used it and realized you have this hidden theft ability, it naturally adds an ability affiliation list to differentiate your various skills."
After listening to Jiang Han's explanation, Lin Tianming suddenly understood: "So that's how it is..."
"Try the three Thunderstorm Bear skills you stole and see if they also belong to the God Hand theft ability."
With Jiang Han's guidance, Lin Tianming quickly confirmed, then happily said, "They're all there, Teacher Jiang Han!"
By guiding Lin Tianming to use his skills and check their affiliations, Jiang Han roughly understood where the problem was.
"Now use your Spirit Spark; I suspect it's neither under your God Hand theft ability nor your copying ability, right?"
Following Jiang Han's instruction, Lin Tianming used Spirit Spark, and as expected, it was just as Jiang Han said. Lin Tianming's pupils shrank slightly.
So he misunderstood?
Skills learned by falling into the Psychic Ascension God's trap didn't count as unintentionally triggered theft abilities?
In that case, Psychic Transformation didn't count as a theft ability either!
Though Lin Tianming said nothing, his expression told Jiang Han the answer she wanted.
As a teacher helping Lin Tianming develop his supernatural potential, Jiang Han continued analyzing based on her rich experience as a top-tier awakener.
"Normally, an awakener can't learn skills outside their ability system. Tianming, it's because your God Hand ability is special that you can do this.
But your Spirit Spark skill wasn't obtained through the God Hand theft ability. There are only two possibilities for this.
One possibility is that your God Hand has other abilities we haven't fully developed or understood yet.
The other is that you've awakened a new ability talent not related to the awakening ritual through some special opportunity.
No matter which, to help you develop skills corresponding to this ability, I hope you can tell me how you learned Spirit Spark."
[Tianming, this child, probably encountered opportunities he couldn't have had in my past life due to the butterfly effect of my rebirth. Perhaps this is why he's at level fifteen as soon as he entered school this time!]
[No matter which possibility, it means that this life, Tianming has greater potential than the last!]
Jiang Han's words and thoughts moved Lin Tianming.
He learned two Psychic Ascension skills after accidentally falling into a Psychic Ascension Pool tampered with by the Psychic Ascension God, nearly losing his life.
At that time, the Psychic Ascension God who tried to devour him and reincarnate through him said he had embarked on the path of a Psychic Ascender.
Although he didn't understand how this so-called Psychic Ascension path differed from their traditional awakening ritual, Lin Tianming knew it was a different ability from the God Hand talent.
In his past life, as the original owner's mentor, Jiang Han helped the original owner develop the God Hand to discover much potential.
In this life, she might really help him develop more skills of the Psychic Ascension path.
He had been training for two months, with only the God Hand ability improving, while the Psychic Ascender abilities remained at two skills.
After careful consideration, Lin Tianming decided to reveal part of the secret to Jiang Han to learn more Psychic Ascension skills in the future.
"Teacher Jiang Han, the Spirit Spark skill was obtained two months ago when Qingxue and I accidentally fell into a secret realm in Mingxi City. I also learned another skill related to soul power, called Psychic Transformation, which allows me to freely switch between soul and physical forms."
Hearing Lin Tianming say he had another soul power skill she didn't know in his past life, Jiang Han was shocked: "Show it to me!"
Since he had decided to reveal it to Jiang Han, Lin Tianming no longer hid it.
Psychic Transformation!
As Psychic Transformation activated, Lin Tianming's body began to freely switch between soul and physical forms.
Seeing this miraculous skill, Jiang Han was amazed.
It was her first time witnessing a human capable of transitioning between intangible soul and physical form.
She continued to ask, "Does your little girlfriend Ye Qingxue also know these two skills?"
"No, only I learned these two skills in the secret realm."
Although Lin Tianming said he knew these two skills, he didn't elaborate on the details of their encounter in the secret realm with Ye Qingxue.
Jiang Han didn't press for more details. After thinking for a moment, she planned a new soul skill training course for Lin Tianming to help him develop this unknown soul power.
"Tianming, starting tomorrow, our daily supernatural ability training will include additional training for the soul power skills you obtained in the secret realm.
I have a strong feeling that you didn't just learn two soul power skills from the secret realm. It's very likely you've awakened a new ability talent related to the soul!
As long as we train specifically, this soul power talent might, like your God Hand, allow you to learn new skills as your level increases!"
