Global Awakening SSS-Rank: Hearing the Beauty’s Heart

Chapter 100: Back and Thrown into the Thunder Pool! Teacher Jiang Han, Are You a Devil?

After leaving the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue did not immediately leave Lingnan Ancient City. They had taken a three-day leave, and this was only the first day, so they could still enjoy two more days in Lingnan Ancient City.

However, during the latter part of these three days, Feng Lan also stayed behind, which made Ye Qingxue unhappy during their time together.

Lin Tianming was caught between Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

After the three-day break, Lin Tianming brought Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan back to the Imperial Capital Academy.

As soon as he returned, Lin Tianming received a message from Jiang Han.

"Did you enjoy your three days out?"

Seeing this message, Lin Tianming couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Teacher Jiang Han is looking for me. Qingxue, Feng Lan, see you later!"

Under the puzzled gazes of Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan, Lin Tianming quickly slipped away.

After running some distance, Lin Tianming replied to Jiang Han: "Teacher Jiang Han, I’ve been staying obediently at the Imperial Capital Academy!"

"Cut the nonsense. Come to the Lightning Awakening Grounds. I need to ask you something!"

Hearing the anger in Jiang Han's tone, indicating she was upset that he had lied to her, Lin Tianming took a deep breath.

Hesitating for a moment, he decided to head to the Lightning Awakening Grounds even though he had just returned.

Upon arriving at the Lightning Awakening Grounds, Lin Tianming saw Jiang Han waiting for him with a serious expression.

"Good morning, Teacher Jiang Han!"

Pretending not to notice Jiang Han's bad mood, Lin Tianming greeted her with a smile.

Jiang Han, who usually adored her precious student, frowned deeply when she saw him.

"I told you recently that the Imperial Capital is very dangerous, and you should stay at the Imperial Capital Academy for these three days. But you went off to have fun instead!"

Feeling a bit awkward after being caught by Jiang Han, Lin Tianming scratched his head: "Well… hehe!"

[This brat! When I found out you weren't at the Imperial Capital Academy, I was so worried. If I hadn't sent someone to check and saw that you and your little girlfriend Ye Qingxue bought tickets to Lingnan Ancient City, I would have thought you got yourself killed outside!]

Hearing Jiang Han's inner voice, Lin Tianming understood why she was so angry.

She must have been really scared when she came back and found he wasn't at the Imperial Capital Academy.

After all, she had just warned him about the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider crawling out of the Demon Tomb, and he went out to play right after. Of course, she was worried.

Jiang Han stared at Lin Tianming, who was trying to evade her scolding, for a while and then said, "Forget it, I don’t feel like scolding you. It's good that you're back safe."

Hearing this, Lin Tianming felt relieved: "Teacher Jiang Han, you really are my good teacher!"

Jiang Han continued, "Yesterday, I went to Tianhui Square to check out the destroyed demon nest. According to the Awakening Battle Group, you and Wang Yanran were there the other night. Do you have anything to say about that?"

When Jiang Han brought up the incident of him and Wang Yanran slaying the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider, Lin Tianming hesitated.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Han added, "I sensed the presence of the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider in that nest, as well as the residual aura of my Purple Thunder Demon Prison."

Seeing Jiang Han say this, Lin Tianming realized that she had roughly deduced how he and Wang Yanran managed to kill the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider from her on-site investigation.

Considering he used the super-level forbidden spell skill Jiang Han had left for him to protect himself, Lin Tianming decided to tell her the truth.

As Lin Tianming detailed how he and Wang Yanran fought the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider that night and how the Awakening Battle Group questioned them afterward, Jiang Han couldn't help but take another look at him.

[This silly boy, his account almost matches my on-site analysis... The Ghost-faced Fiery Spider indeed died by his hands!]

[Good thing I remembered he didn't have any defensive skills and left him a super-level forbidden spell; otherwise, he would have been dead when he encountered the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider...]

"You did very well. It's best not to tell the Awakening Battle Group about you killing the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to you right now."

Seeing Jiang Han still affirm him, Lin Tianming smiled and said, "Teacher Jiang Han, you shouldn’t be mad at me anymore, right? I only went out with Qingxue after killing the Ghost-faced Fiery Spider!"

Jiang Han's stern expression softened, and she smiled at him like she usually did.

"I'm not angry anymore, but I need to personally check if you've slacked off these past three days!"

When Lin Tianming heard Jiang Han say she wanted to test him personally, he immediately had a bad feeling.

"Well... Teacher Jiang Han, you know I spent these three days traveling with Qingxue to Lingnan Ancient City. I just got back today and am not in my best condition yet... Can we do the test another day?"

After speaking, Lin Tianming turned around, intending to run away.

However, Jiang Han quickly summoned a familiar lightning whip, forcibly pulling him back to her side.

With his head hanging down and a bitter expression on his face, Lin Tianming faced Jiang Han’s smiling face: "Teacher Jiang Han, you're not going to throw me into the Thunder Pool again, are you?"

"Correct, but no rewards for you!"

With a wave of her jade hand, Jiang Han conjured a Thunder Pool with lightning power and threw Lin Tianming into it.

Having just returned and not even slept well yet, being thrown into the Thunder Pool by Jiang Han made Lin Tianming curse under his breath.

"Damn it, Jiang Han! Throwing me into the Thunder Pool right after I come back, you must be a devil! I'm getting more and more tempted to beat you!"

"You brat, who do you want to beat? Watch your mouth; I’m your teacher!"

[This brat is getting more and more insolent in front of me, always wanting to beat me! How outrageous!]

Although a bit angry at Lin Tianming’s rudeness, Jiang Han didn't increase the Thunder Pool's intensity.

Before she gave Lin Tianming a break, she had just raised the Thunder Pool training to the second stage.

He had only trained in it once before she had to leave for the Demon Tomb entrance, giving Lin Tianming a break.

Now that she was back, Lin Tianming, who had only experienced the second-stage Thunder Pool training once, would need some time to adapt before increasing the intensity.

[This kid just came back today. He probably had too much fun these three days. Let him adapt first before raising the Thunder Pool training intensity...]

[Hmm? What’s going on... This kid only experienced the second-stage Thunder Pool training once, right? How come he seems completely accustomed to it as if he’s been training for a long time?]

Jiang Han initially wanted Lin Tianming to adapt first, but he was as comfortable in the second-stage Thunder Pool as if he were bathing, which puzzled her.

Hearing her thoughts, Lin Tianming also found it surprising that he felt nothing this time in the Thunder Pool.

After all, the previous session before his break had left him half-dead from the second-stage Thunder Pool's intensity.

Could it be that the experiences in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm had boosted him significantly?

Recalling the training on the Nether Cold Bridge and the near-death encounters with the mysterious deity, Lin Tianming increasingly believed the Ice and Snow Secret Realm had significantly boosted his abilities.

With this in mind, Lin Tianming had a sudden idea.

If he activated the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, further enhancing his defense, could he stay in the Thunder Pool all day without any issues?

Thinking and acting upon it, Lin Tianming, who hadn’t yet told Jiang Han about the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, immediately activated it for defense.

With the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield's added defensive power, Lin Tianming felt even more at ease in the Thunder Pool, sensing no harm whatsoever.

"Teacher Jiang Han, is this Thunder Pool weak today? I feel like I could stay in here all day without a problem—it’s like a hot tub!"

This scene left Jiang Han, who intended to let Lin Tianming adapt to the current intensity, utterly shocked.

[A divine realm growth-type fire attribute defensive skill? Didn't this kid spend these three days vacationing with his little girlfriend in Lingnan Ancient City? How did he become even stronger?]

[Now, this level of Thunder Pool is useless for him. What exactly did Tianming experience these three days?]
