Chapter 49: Dual Thunder of Yin and Yang! Great Talent, but Lacking Temperament—Destined for Mediocrity!

Agitated by Lin Tianming's words, Leidong's anger flared up.

"Lin... Tian... Ming, earlier it was my negligence. I didn't expect you to be this strong. What happened just now won't happen again! Let me show you my true skills!"

[Yang Thunder!]

Blazing and dazzling like the scorching sun, Leidong's Yang Thunder appeared, its brilliance blinding those watching nearby.

[Though Leidong's SSS-level lightning talent isn't a conventional lightning ability, it's inherited from his family—the Dual Thunder of Yin and Yang. The Yin is as cold as bone-chilling frost, while the Yang is like blazing flames. The combination of these opposing attributes makes his lightning extremely difficult to deal with.]

From the sidelines, Feng Lan's thoughts entered Lin Tianming's mind, providing him with deeper insight into Leidong's Yin-Yang Dual Thunder ability.

[Energy Conversion!]

Rather than confronting Leidong's powerful Yang Thunder head-on, Lin Tianming effortlessly utilized his Energy Conversion to evade the attack.

Simultaneously, he appeared above Leidong, his raised hands gathering a more terrifying version of Leidong's Yang Thunder.

[Yang Thunder!]

"Not good!"

Despite knowing from repeated video analysis that Lin Tianming possessed a bizarre ability to evade damage, Leidong had assumed he could counter it. However, in actual combat, he realized he lacked the skill Feng Lan had to force Lin Tianming's spirit body into a solid form.

The Yang Thunder Lin Tianming conjured, now aimed at Leidong, exerted immense pressure.

Boom!

The scorching and fierce Yang Thunder's destructive energy was more direct than the corrosive cold of the Yin Thunder. Leidong, already coughing blood from the Yin Thunder's corrosive force earlier, now found his body covered with burn marks from the blazing Yang Thunder, making him even more wretched.

"Senior Leidong, as the saying goes, practice should stop before causing serious harm. Shall we call it a day?"

[Brother Tianming, you can't let him off so easily! Beat him up hard! Let him see the error of his arrogance just because of his higher level!]

Just after Lin Tianming spoke, he heard the violent thoughts of his girlfriend, Ye Qingxue, from the sidelines.

Of course, he didn't intend to let Leidong off easily. He knew Leidong would become even more enraged, wanting to fight to the end. That's why he deliberately said those words to provoke him.

Yesterday, when he told Feng Lan to stop, it was because he genuinely wanted to leave a good impression. Today's situation with Leidong was entirely different.

Under Lin Tianming's gaze, as he expected, Leidong couldn't suppress his growing anger.

"Junior, you indeed have some real skill. No wonder you could defeat Wang Jian. It seems I should get a bit more serious to properly guide you!"

Though Leidong had been beaten up, he pretended he had been holding back, trying to maintain his superior senior image. This excuse might fool some new students, but not his fellow second-year peers who had returned from the competition with him.

Always sleepy Zhang Zixi suddenly became energetic seeing Lin Tianming beating up Leidong.

"This junior is interesting. He can copy Leidong's skills and even amplify their power, making them stronger than Leidong's original. If his copying ability has no limit, he can become stronger by facing stronger opponents, challenging anyone unaware of his capabilities!"

Li Hao also showed great interest in Lin Tianming. "Becoming stronger against stronger opponents? Does that mean he could even challenge our top ace, Yong Yu, in the future?"

Hearing Li Hao mention him, Yong Yu glanced at Li Hao but didn't say anything. Instead, he continued observing Lin Tianming and Leidong's fight.

Mei Jinghong's eyes sparkled with interest. "This junior named Lin Tianming is quite something. Leidong is already at his limit after just two attacks. He's not as tough as the first-year Feng Lan. I'll add him as a friend after this duel and learn more about him in the future!"

The discussions among his peers made Leidong's face turn sour. His lie about holding back fell apart, and even some new students started questioning his abilities.

Never had Leidong felt so humiliated. Enraged, he charged at Lin Tianming.

[Yang Thunder Incineration!]

This time, Leidong unleashed his most powerful Yang Thunder Incineration attack, significantly stronger than the simple Yang Thunder.

Seeing Leidong getting desperate, Lin Tianming's lips curved up slightly.

"This Yang Thunder Incineration is quite good, senior. Now try mine!"

[Yang Thunder Incineration!]

Lin Tianming gathered a more terrifying version of the Yang Thunder Incineration in front of him, creating a force even greater than Leidong's.

When the two Yang Thunders collided, Lin Tianming's more potent version tore through Leidong's.

As Leidong watched in disbelief, Lin Tianming's Yang Thunder Incineration sped towards him at an unescapable speed.

"No... I can't lose! I'm Leidong, the SSS-level Dual Thunder talent wielder, stronger than the SSS-level lightning talent. I'm a 27th-level awakened, ranked tenth among second-year students, a prodigy. How can I lose to a first-year who only copies others' skills!"

[Yin Thunder Devouring Bone!]

Leidong tried to unleash his Yin Thunder Devouring Bone skill in retaliation, but halfway through, intense pain struck, causing the skill to dissipate.

As images of being repeatedly injured by Lin Tianming's Yang and Yin Thunder flashed in his mind, Leidong realized his injuries were too severe to continue.

Under Leidong's unwilling gaze, the full force of Lin Tianming's Yang Thunder Incineration landed, scorching more wounds into his body.

When the blazing power of the Yang Thunder dissipated, Leidong's tattered, barely standing figure was revealed to everyone present.

This was much worse than Wang Jian, whose clothes were burned off but remained mostly unharmed.

Leidong's severely injured state left the spectators in shock and fear, rendering them speechless in their awe.

Barely conscious, Leidong vaguely saw a figure pass by him, hearing them say:

"Great talent, but lacking temperament. Hardly destined for greatness. A waste of the Dual Thunder of Yin and Yang talent."

Recognizing the voice, even through his dazed state, Leidong knew it was Jiang Han, who had once refused to take him as a disciple!

Leidong had intended to humiliate Lin Tianming today, to shame him and Jiang Han in front of everyone. But now, it was Leidong who was utterly humiliated!

His rage surged, but what came next made him even angrier.

"Huh? It seems that from this fight, I've touched the threshold for breaking through to the 16th level. Thanks for the guidance, Senior Leidong. I'll try to break through now!"

Splurt!

Infuriated by Lin Tianming's words about gaining a breakthrough from their battle, Leidong's blood pressure spiked, causing him to vomit blood and collapse on the spot in utter defeat.
