Chapter 66: Teacher Jiang Han Takes Down All the Monsters!
Chapter 66: Teacher Jiang Han Takes Down All the Monsters!
"Dead... dead?"
Hua Yufei had been planning to use her forbidden method, despite its side effects of worsening her injuries, to save Lin Tianming. Who would have thought that Lin Tianming's psychic storm would directly annihilate the demon-possessed man?
That was a Level 80 demon-possessed human, even if heavily injured, not someone a lower-level awakened could contend with.
If Lin Tianming had used a super-level forbidden curse to kill that demon, Hua Yufei wouldn't have been so shocked.
What shocked her was the formidable power of Lin Tianming's soul force skill, the psychic storm!
She had watched the video of Lin Tianming fighting monsters at noon today, but the video could never match the direct experience.
Now, being there in person, she could clearly feel that Lin Tianming's soul force was unique and had a natural restraint against monsters.
Could this restraint be why Lin Tianming could more easily kill high-level demon-possessed humans?
Before Hua Yufei could figure out the answer, the side effects of using the super-level forbidden artifact caused her to cough up blood again.
"Cough, cough..."
She could barely stand earlier with Lin Tianming's support.
In the short time Lin Tianming had killed the demon-possessed man, she could no longer stand steadily.
Her legs gave way, and Hua Yufei collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming quickly returned to her side, squatting down to hold her in his arms.
"Senior Hua, are you alright?"
Hua Yufei was suffering from the side effects of using the super-level forbidden artifact, and she was very tired and needed to rest.
"I'm fine. This is within the range of the side effects of using the super-level forbidden artifact. It's normal. Just take me back to rest for a night, and I'll be fine..."
"I'll take you back right now. Senior Hua, can you still stand?"
Lin Tianming wanted to help Hua Yufei back to the nearby division of the Awakened Battle Group for treatment.
However, after only a few steps, even with Lin Tianming's support, Hua Yufei, weakened by the side effects of the super-level forbidden artifact, could not walk.
If Lin Tianming hadn't held her up in time, she would have fallen to her knees again.
"Sorry, Junior Tianming, I was supposed to save you, but because of my misjudgment, I need you to take care of me..."
Hearing Hua Yufei's apologetic words, Lin Tianming shook his head: "Senior Hua didn't expect the demon-possessed man to be so dangerous and didn't come out to help me immediately. It's not your fault. You came out later to stop me from using the super-level forbidden curse to prevent its terrifying power from harming innocent people.
You're injured now, so don't think too much about it. If you can't walk, I'll carry you back!"
Without waiting for Hua Yufei to respond, Lin Tianming lifted her in a princess carry, causing Hua Yufei to cry out softly.
Noticing Hua Yufei's flushed and hot face, Lin Tianming said seriously: "Senior Hua, this is to take you back to rest. Please forgive me."
"Mm... it's okay, Junior Tianming. I'll trouble you to take me back."
Despite her enchanting appearance and alluring figure, Hua Yufei had never been so close to a man.
This was the first time Hua Yufei had such close contact with a boy, and her blushing face made her avoid eye contact with Lin Tianming, who was much younger than her.
Although Lin Tianming seemed upright and unaffected, he was also struggling with Hua Yufei's proximity.
Hua Yufei's delicate and soft body, her every move filled with seductive charm, combined with her naturally alluring ability, Fragrant Blossom Language, made her irresistibly tempting without any effort.
Being so close to this fairy-like beauty, with her fragrance enveloping him, Lin Tianming was internally battling his emotions.
After carrying Hua Yufei for a while, her blush gradually faded.
As her emotions stabilized, she started talking to Lin Tianming.
"Junior Tianming, have you noticed that your soul force seems to have a natural restraint against those monsters? I think that's why they targeted you, trying to nip you in the bud."
Discussing this, Lin Tianming replied: "Mm, I noticed it today at noon. This was my first encounter with monsters. My psychic flight... my soul force skill isn't usually this powerful, but against monsters, it can unleash a far stronger destructive force."
Almost revealing his identity as a psychic ascender, Lin Tianming quickly corrected himself and continued talking with Hua Yufei.
After Lin Tianming's explanation, Hua Yufei said: "Junior Tianming, if you grow stronger, your unique soul force might become a powerful weapon for our Nine Provinces against the monsters from the Land of Calamity.
The capital has been unsettled lately. According to the Awakened Battle Group's information, there might be other high-level demon-possessed humans infiltrating the capital. Your soul force restrains them, so you must be careful."
Hearing about other high-level demon-possessed humans in the capital, Lin Tianming asked: "Senior Hua, the capital is the center of our Nine Provinces, with the tightest security. How did so many monsters from the Land of Calamity infiltrate this time?"
Hesitating, Hua Yufei replied: "I'm not sure about the specifics. I'm just the captain of the fifth squad of the Awakened Battle Group, with limited access to information. But I suspect there might be someone collaborating with the monsters from the Land of Calamity."
Someone in Nine Provinces collaborating with the monsters?
Hearing Hua Yufei's bold speculation, Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Senior Hua, I have another question. The demon-possessed human said it couldn't die here because it had more important tasks to complete. Do you know what tasks it was referring to?"
Hua Yufei was also curious about Lin Tianming's question but shook her head with a bitter smile.
"I don't know, but whatever their mission, it must be extremely harmful to the capital and the entire Nine Provinces. So, Junior Tianming, while you stay safe, if you find any clues about the monsters, please inform me. This way, I can mobilize the Awakened Battle Group to investigate and thwart their evil plans!"
"Don't worry, Senior Hua, I will!"
After about half an hour, Lin Tianming carried Hua Yufei back to the base of the fifth squad of the Awakened Battle Group near the Imperial Capital University.
After adding Hua Yufei as a friend, Lin Tianming returned to the university.
Thinking about how Teacher Jiang Han disappeared during the crisis, Lin Tianming suspected she remembered his betrayal in their previous life and left him to fend for himself.
Checking his phone, he saw his last message to Jiang Han remained unanswered.
Hesitating, he sent another message.
"Teacher Jiang Han, you promised I'd lure them out and you'd take down the monsters. I almost died. Where were you?"
"Brat, aren't you alive and well?"
The crisis was barely over, and she responded instantly?
This confirmed Lin Tianming's suspicion that she remembered being killed by his previous self and abandoned him.
Feeling a bit frustrated, Lin Tianming didn't reply to Jiang Han and went back to the boys' dormitory to sleep.
Unbeknownst to Lin Tianming, Jiang Han was at the entrance of a dark underground passage.
At the entrance was a tightly closed door with a smart lock system that required a password or facial recognition.
After ensuring Lin Tianming and Hua Yufei's safety, Jiang Han tracked the monsters' scent to this location.
Jiang Han slowly walked to the door and positioned her face before the facial recognition system.
"Verifying identity..."
"Facial recognition failed. Intruder detected, all units alert!"
Boom!
With her eyes emitting destructive purple lightning, Jiang Han instantly destroyed the door.
"I said I'd take them all down, and I will!"
