Chapter 52: Setting the Nine Provinces Ablaze! Lin Tianming Becomes the Hope to Suppress the Northern Yin Domain?

Realizing the overwhelming power of Lei Dong's SSS-level Yin-Yang Twin Thunder ability, yet understanding why he ranks only tenth among the second-year students, Lin Tianming fell into deep thought.

He recalled Ye Qingxue's thoughts, mentioning his premature demise in the near future.

The original owner's God Hand ability was already exceptional in his past life, defeating contemporaneous geniuses effortlessly.

Even so, he never reached his full potential before dying, a fate more tragic than Feng Lan and others who perished after becoming deities.

What exactly will happen in the future?

Will he face the same mortal danger that the original owner encountered in his previous life?

"Tianming, don't follow Lei Dong's example. With your talent, once you grow, you'll definitely surpass me. Remember, the path of an awakener requires humility and caution, as well as..."

[Damn! Why am I lecturing this traitor? Lei Dong is just impatient and over-eager, incapable of great achievements. But this one is truly wicked. Once he grows, he'll bring endless harm to innocent people!]

[I was deceived by his obedient student facade in my past life. In reality, he's a greedy, ruthless beast who would even kill his mentor to achieve his goals!]

Hearing Jiang Han's sudden change in thoughts, Lin Tianming was alarmed.

"Um... Teacher Jiang Han, I don't have any more questions. It's already noon, and after my fight with Lei Dong, I haven't eaten. Qingxue is waiting for me for lunch, so I'll go now!"

Before Jiang Han could fully lose his temper, Lin Tianming hurriedly fled from the Thunder Awakening Field.

Seeing him finally emerge, Ye Qingxue immediately approached and affectionately took his arm.

"Tianming, did Teacher Jiang Han guide you well?"

"Yes, but let's go eat quickly... Ah, I mean, I'm starving after the long delay with Lei Dong!"

Although Ye Qingxue found Lin Tianming's behavior a bit odd, she was too focused on the prospect of having lunch with him to overthink it.

She suggested, "Great! I want roast chicken!"

"No problem, I'll treat you to roast chicken!"

Lin Tianming readily agreed, and they quickly left the vicinity of the Thunder Awakening Field, fearing Jiang Han might chase after him if he decided to kill him.

During their lunch, a video of Lin Tianming beating Lei Dong went viral online once again.

Lei Dong, a second-year student representing the Imperial Capital Academy and the entire Nine Provinces in the Global Advanced Awakener Academy Tournament, was known for his undeniable strength.

Yet, such a promising future star lost to Lin Tianming, a mere freshman.

This was undoubtedly shocking!

Compared to his previous victories over Feng Lan and Wang Jian, the video of Lin Tianming defeating Lei Dong spread wider, reaching more people.

Given the current buzz around the Imperial Capital Academy's Yongyu representing the Nine Provinces and achieving second place in the global tournament, Lin Tianming's win propelled him to the top of the Nine Provinces' trending topics.

"Lei Dong of the Imperial Capital Academy is one of the strongest second-year students representing us in the global tournament, and he lost to a freshman?"

"If both are representatives of the Nine Provinces in the global competition, Lei Dong may not be as good as Yongyu, but their actual combat power shouldn't differ much. Lei Dong's defeat means Lin Tianming, a new student, is comparable to Yongyu, who ranked second globally?"

"If so, with Lin Tianming's talent, he could potentially lead us to victory in next year's global tournament, overshadowing other awakening geniuses and winning first place!"

Online discussions about Lin Tianming continued to surge, with many even fantasizing about the Nine Provinces winning the global tournament, thanks to his presence.

In the past decade, only Wang Yanran's cohort had won first place globally.

If Lin Tianming could secure another first-place win for the Nine Provinces next year, it would shut the Northern Yin Domain's people up and make the Nine Provinces proud.

At that moment, Wang Jian, watching the video of Lin Tianming beating Lei Dong while having lunch, was startled by Lei Dong's miserable state.

"Damn! Such ruthless attacks? This Lin Tianming even beat Lei Dong, the tenth-ranked second-year student in the Imperial Capital Academy, to such a state. He's incredibly strong!"

Wang Yanran glanced at the phone-obsessed Wang Jian and continued eating her lunch calmly.

"Cousin, Lin Tianming is trending today! The whole internet is abuzz about him possibly leading us to another global tournament victory next year, just like you did!"

"As if he can compare to you? I admit he's strong, but his talent doesn't match yours!"

"By the way, did you promise to teach this brat a lesson? Did you go and deal with him yet?"

"And make sure to record it! You don't enjoy surfing the internet, but you need to market yourself. I'll help you title it to attract traffic. With our family's influence, a video of you beating Lin Tianming would go viral, making him a laughingstock across the Nine Provinces!"

Originally disinterested, Wang Yanran's attention was piqued by her troublemaking cousin.

Irritated, she glared at Wang Jian.

"Can you eat quietly?"

"Uh... sure! Don't be angry, cousin!"

Scolded by Wang Yanran, Wang Jian immediately behaved.

He wouldn't dare act arrogantly in front of her unless he wanted a beating.

As Wang Yanran continued eating, Wang Jian's words ignited her curiosity.

"Show me the video of Lin Tianming defeating Lei Dong."

"Right away!"

Wang Jian quickly played the most viewed video of Lin Tianming thrashing Lei Dong and handed his phone to his cousin.

Watching Lin Tianming's brutal assault on Lei Dong in the video, Wang Yanran couldn't help but recall the past life where Lin Tianming violated her and seized her opportunities.

Vengeance burned in her eyes, and flames spontaneously erupted around her.

Alarmed, Wang Jian reminded her, "Cousin, we're in a public restaurant. Burning it down means paying for damages!"

This was the second time Wang Jian had seen her lose control over Lin Tianming's videos, and his initial plan of having her teach Lin Tianming a lesson was now frightening.

Maybe... it's better not to mention Lin Tianming in front of her anymore?

Wang Yanran retracted her flames, much to the relief of everyone in the restaurant.

Wang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously asked, "Cousin, should I stop bringing up Lin Tianming? I don't really have a deep grudge against him; it's just minor conflicts. Lei Dong is the one who truly suffered..."

Wang Yanran glanced at Wang Jian.

"Yes, realizing that is good. Avoid trouble in the future. If you commit any heinous acts, I won't spare you, even if you're my cousin!"

Though she said she'd leave it alone, Wang Yanran still planned to find Lin Tianming.

Not for Wang Jian, but for herself.

In her past life, Lin Tianming violated her while she was absorbing the Phoenix Flame Crystal. This time, she intended to nip his wickedness in the bud.

Tonight, she would confront him again and settle their scores once and for all!
