Chapter 63: The Power of Spiritual Ascension is a Natural Nemesis of Monsters!

Looking at Lin Tianming, who was surrounded by the surging power of spiritual ascension, Ye Qingxue's initial worry turned into astonishment.

[Brother Tianming didn't use this move when sparring with me this morning. His soul power seems a bit special. Although monsters are adept at targeting the soul power of human awakeners, he can counteract their attacks instead...]

[It seems my worry was unnecessary. Brother Tianming's unique soul power can naturally suppress monsters, as if he was born to combat them!]

The spiritual energy storm around Lin Tianming was several times more powerful due to Jiang Han's special training. The storm, formed from spiritual energy, was as violent as a tornado, radiating terrifying destructive energy aimed at souls.

"Go!"

With Lin Tianming's thought, the spiritual energy storm, which became immensely powerful against monsters, shot towards the man in black.

Just moments ago, the man in black had arrogantly declared that Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue would either join him or die. Now, his eyes were filled with infinite fear of encountering a natural nemesis.

He turned to flee but found himself unable to move even a step away from the powerful pull of the spiritual energy storm. Instead, he was being slowly drawn closer to it.

The storm was already hurtling towards him, and now being pulled closer meant accelerating his own destruction.

"No! I... I finally found a body to infiltrate... I haven't even tasted the delicious high-quality soul of an awakened human... I... Ah!"

With a ghastly scream filled with resentment, the man in black, tainted by the monster's aura, turned to ashes within Lin Tianming's spiritual energy storm.

Is the power of this spiritual energy storm against monsters a bit too overwhelming?

Witnessing the immense power that turned the monster to ashes, Lin Tianming was stunned.

After a brief moment of shock, a hint of joy appeared on his face. The fact that the power of spiritual ascension increases severalfold against monsters was a good thing for him!

"Brother Tianming, are you hurt?" Ye Qingxue's concerned voice echoed in his ears.

Lin Tianming looked at her and said, "I'm not hurt. I just used the wrong move initially due to lack of experience dealing with monsters. I didn't expect it to fear my soul spark and spiritual energy storm so much!"

Ye Qingxue murmured, "So that tornado formed by soul power is called a spiritual energy storm?"

Lin Tianming joked, "Yes, why? Do you want to learn it?"

Ye Qingxue gave him a coquettish glare, feeling he was teasing her. "I'd love to, but I have an ice elemental ability. I can't learn your exclusive skills. Not everyone can replicate like you!"

"Alright, Qingxue, this place isn't safe. Let's head back to the Imperial Capital University of the Emperor and report the presence of people tainted by monsters here."

"Yes, it's hard to believe that even in the heavily guarded center of Kyushu like the Imperial Capital, monsters can infiltrate from the Land of Calamity. Something feels off about this. We should return to the university soon!"

Ye Qingxue agreed with Lin Tianming's view and had no desire to linger in this chaotic place.

As Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue left, a man tainted by the monster's aura watched them closely from a nearby building.

His attention was mainly focused on Lin Tianming.

He had clearly seen how Lin Tianming used the power of spiritual ascension to kill the man in black. His eyes were filled with both murderous intent and fear towards Lin Tianming. He wanted to kill him now but restrained himself due to various concerns and turned to look behind him.

In the dimly lit corridor stood several other people tainted by the monster's aura.

"You all saw the student from the Imperial Capital University of the Emperor just now. He possesses a power that restrains us. His existence could become an obstacle to our plans. Tonight, we kill him!

Remember, do not alert the high-level awakeners in the university, especially Jiang Han!"

"Yes!"

Lin Tianming had no idea he had been targeted by a group of people tainted by the monster's aura. Upon returning to the Imperial Capital University of the Emperor, he informed Jiang Han of his and Ye Qingxue's encounter at the West Gate Snack Street.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Han's beautiful eyes immediately showed a serious expression. "People tainted by the monster's aura appeared near the West Gate of the university?"

Lin Tianming nodded affirmatively. "Yes, Teacher Jiang Han, the monster I killed even mentioned that the body he possessed was hard to find."

After hearing Lin Tianming's additional information, Jiang Han said, "It seems you didn't kill the monster itself. Little Tianming, what you killed was just a human infected by the monster's aura."

[How strange... With the tight security layers of the Imperial Capital, how did a monster from the Land of Calamity get in?]

[Although I was tragically killed by a traitor next year in my previous life, there was no monster invasion during this period. Has my rebirth caused such a significant change?]

Lin Tianming asked, "Even if I didn't kill its true form, it shouldn't be able to cause trouble in the Imperial Capital for a while, right?"

Jiang Han pondered for a moment before answering. "Not necessarily. It depends on whether it has possessed other human bodies and is lurking in the Imperial Capital.

Based on your description, it should be a high-level monster. The human body it possessed before was too weak to exert its full power, which is why you could kill it.

High-level monsters are very intelligent. When infiltrating human cities, they usually possess multiple human bodies to avoid being completely eradicated."

Hearing this, Lin Tianming gasped. "Teacher Jiang Han, do you mean... there might be other people possessed by it hiding in the Imperial Capital?"

"Yes, and high-level monsters often bring along many of their monster minions when they successfully possess and infiltrate, to conduct more covert activities."

Listening to Jiang Han's information about the monsters, Lin Tianming murmured, "They even have underlings..."

"One more thing, these monsters hold grudges. You killed its host, which means you've disrupted its plans in the Imperial Capital. I bet it's now plotting to kill you!"

Upon hearing Jiang Han say he might be targeted by the monster, Lin Tianming hurriedly sought her help. "What should I do now, Teacher Jiang Han?"

Jiang Han smiled at this. "What else? Wait for the monster to show itself. You lure it with your body, and I'll take it down. With our teamwork, we'll be fine!"
