Chapter 48: The Senior Isn't as Tough as He Looks! He Vomited Blood Right Away!
When Ye Qingxue saw Lei Dong suddenly attack them and unleash a high-level electric force to suppress her brother Tianming, she was instantly furious.
[How dare you oppress my brother Tianming! Don't think that just because you awakened a year earlier and are at a higher level, this Ice Goddess will fear you!]
[I'll show you how terrifying the Ice God's divine understanding of abilities can be!]
Although Ye Qingxue was only at level 15, she released an extremely cold domain that made even Lei Dong, who was much higher in level, change his expression.
Within her extreme cold domain, the lightning power surging around Lei Dong seemed to be suppressed and gradually weakened.
This was the pinnacle god-level understanding of abilities from her previous life as the Ice Goddess. Even if her opponent was at a higher level, she could dismantle their abilities with her divine understanding.
Earlier, Feng Lan had also used a similar god-level understanding to easily dismantle the attacks of level 25 Wang Jian.
"Daring to bully my brother Tianming with your seniority, I, Ye Qingxue, will not tolerate it!"
Seeing the aggressive Ye Qingxue vaguely suppressing him, Lei Dong, who initially intended to publicly humiliate Lin Tianming and make Jiang Han regret not taking him as a disciple, now looked somewhat displeased.
Lin Tianming hadn't expected Ye Qingxue to intervene first and suppress Lei Dong.
After a brief moment of surprise, Lin Tianming held back the furious Ye Qingxue.
"Don't be agitated, Qingxue. This senior might just want to have a heart-to-heart with me. We shouldn't be so aggressive."
"But he was clearly trying to use his lightning to suppress you, Tianming brother..."
"Calm down, listen to me, Qingxue. This senior is deliberately yielding to you. You can't act recklessly."
"Alright..."
Under Lin Tianming's persuasion, Ye Qingxue withdrew her extreme cold domain.
Lin Tianming wasn't foolish. He knew the person before him wanted to publicly oppress him.
Knowing that the visitor had ill intentions, he asked Ye Qingxue to withdraw, intending to handle his own affairs.
If Ye Qingxue hadn't acted quicker than him, he would have retaliated already.
"Senior, may I know your name?"
Lei Dong glanced warily at Ye Qingxue, who was clinging to Lin Tianming, and then looked at Lin Tianming, "Lei Dong."
"What brings you here, Senior Lei Dong?"
"I heard that you defeated the level 25 Wang Jian two days ago when you first arrived at the Imperial Academy, and just now, I heard from the freshmen nearby that you are Lin Tianming. So, I got an itch to spar with you, junior."
Lei Dong didn't tell Lin Tianming the truth. He was simply jealous that Lin Tianming was taken as a disciple by Jiang Han and wanted to pick on him.
He wanted to publicly beat up Lin Tianming, making Jiang Han and Lin Tianming lose face, and make Jiang Han regret not taking him as a disciple.
He had lightning abilities and possessed the SSS-level Yin-Yang dual thunder. Why didn't Jiang Han take him as a student instead of someone whose ability had nothing to do with Jiang Han's lightning abilities?
What did he lack compared to Lin Tianming?
Lin Tianming could tell Lei Dong wasn't being honest.
But he went along with Lei Dong's words, "So, Senior Lei Dong wants to spar with me and guide me. It would be an honor to have your guidance. After the earlier misunderstanding, would you still be willing to guide me, Senior?"
Hearing that Lin Tianming actually wanted to spar with him, Lei Dong, who thought the matter would end here, looked surprised.
"Are you sure you want to spar with me?"
Lin Tianming posed as a good junior eager to learn, "Of course, as long as Senior Lei Dong isn't upset by Qingxue's rudeness earlier and is willing to continue guiding me, I naturally want to spar and grow under your guidance!"
In reality, Lin Tianming was already thinking about how to beat up Lei Dong to avenge his attempt to publicly oppress him with lightning.
Hearing Lin Tianming's affirmation, Lei Dong couldn't help but smile.
"I can feel your eagerness to grow, junior. Don't worry, I'll definitely guide you well and help you improve!"
At this moment, nine second-year students also walked over.
Li Hao directly said, "Lei Dong, isn't it a bit shameless for a level 27 awakened to fight a level 15 freshman?"
Mo Jinghong also disapproved of Lei Dong's jealousy, "Exactly, bullying a new student. Why don't you not train for a year and then compete fairly with this junior a year later to see who's stronger?"
"What do you mean I'm bullying him? He wants to spar with me and receive my guidance. As a senior, I will hold back and guide him properly during the spar!"
Lei Dong found a high-sounding reason; he was determined to teach Lin Tianming a lesson today.
Zhang Zixi couldn't help but say, "You're dragging this out... We nine have to wait for you to finish before we can report, and only then can we be dismissed to catch up on sleep!"
The other second-year students kept quiet, holding a watching attitude, except for the leader, Yong Yu, who said, "Lei Dong, are you sure?"
Facing Yong Yu's gaze, Lei Dong felt his hair stand on end but gritted his teeth, "I'm sure!"
Yong Yu then looked at Lin Tianming, "Junior, you've just enrolled. Are you sure you want to spar with Lei Dong? He is ranked tenth among all the second-year students, with a level 27 awakening, and also possesses SSS-level talent. He's different from the Wang Jian you faced before. If you regret it now, I can take him away for you."
Hearing Yong Yu's offer to support Lin Tianming, Lei Dong panicked.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming's next words relieved him.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior. But I still want to spar with Senior Lei Dong, believing that he will hold back during the spar."
Seeing Lin Tianming's determination, Yong Yu didn't intervene further.
Subsequently, Lin Tianming and Lei Dong moved to the Wind Bell Arena under the watchful eyes of many.
Upon arrival, Lin Tianming noticed Feng Lan had been waiting there for a while, even waving at him.
[Tianming is still the same as in the previous life, accepting this challenge from the jealous Lei Dong!]
[In the previous life, Tianming was only at level 9 at this time, without the ability to unlock the additional power of replication. He was miserably beaten by the level 27 Lei Dong then. But this life, Tianming even defeated me, the reborn Wind Sword Goddess. Lei Dong is in for trouble this time...]
[Even though Tianming suffered a loss today in the previous life, he later killed Lei Dong during a secret trial after a year of growth.]
[If Tianming wins this time, altering the timeline, will he still kill Lei Dong in the future?]
Listening to Feng Lan's clear understanding of why Lei Dong harbored deep hostility towards him, Lin Tianming couldn't help but frown.
Jealousy? What was there for Lei Dong to be jealous of?
Unfortunately, Feng Lan's inner voice didn't mention more about Lei Dong's reasons for wanting to attack him. Lin Tianming, no matter how curious, couldn't know the true reason for now.
Lei Dong confidently said to Lin Tianming, "Junior Lin Tianming, please, as the junior, you make the first move!"
Seeing Lei Dong completely disregard him, Lin Tianming decided to teach this senior a proper lesson.
"Senior, you asked for it!"
Yin Thunder!
Lin Tianming immediately used the skill he copied from Lei Dong through the God Hand.
The dark lightning with a chilling aura burst out, showing even greater power than when Lei Dong used it himself.
This scene instantly changed Lei Dong's expression.
He hadn't watched the video of Lin Tianming beating Wang Jian but had seen Lin Tianming's fierce fight with Feng Lan without using the replication ability.
Although he had heard that Lin Tianming's God Hand could copy others' skills, he never thought the copied skills could unleash greater power than his own.
Seeing the dark, chilling lightning crashing towards him, Lei Dong, who initially didn't intend to dodge, found it too late to avoid now.
Boom!
Taking Lin Tianming's Yin Thunder head-on, Lei Dong, under the bone-chilling erosion, coughed up blood repeatedly.
Lei Dong's miserable state after being hit by Lin Tianming's one move shocked the surrounding students, who couldn't believe their eyes.
"Senior Lei Dong is the tenth-ranked second-year awakened, yet he... he was made to cough up blood by Lin Tianming's single move?"
"Level 15 fighting a level 27 second-year student, and the opponent also has SSS-level talent like him, yet he isn't at a disadvantage... How is this possible?"
"Our Imperial Academy has produced a monster!"
The praises from nearby students fell sharply on Lei Dong's ears, who initially wanted to humiliate Lin Tianming.
At this moment, Lin Tianming, with a harmless smile, intentionally provoked him further.
"Senior, I thought you'd be able to take it at your level, so I used my full power. I didn't mean to make you cough up blood. Should I take you to the infirmary now?"
