Chapter 54: Senior Jinghong, You're My Savior! Come, Let Me Hug You!

On the way to the Flame Awakening Grounds, Lin Tianming indulged in taking advantage of the situation. This was purely a revenge act because Wang Yanran kept accusing him of sullying her body. In reality, Lin Tianming did not enjoy it much.

Throughout the journey, Lin Tianming's brain was working at high speed, thinking of a way to escape. Unfortunately, even by the time they arrived at the Flame Awakening Grounds, Lin Tianming hadn't come up with a perfect plan.

"We're here. Ahead is the Flame Awakening Grounds. Junior, tonight we can stay inside as long as we want, and we absolutely won't be disturbed!"

[Finally, Lin Tianming, you disgusting scoundrel, you will pay dearly for touching me all over just now!]

Listening to Wang Yanran's seductive words on the surface and her heart full of rage, Lin Tianming decided to take advantage of the situation to get some payback. Wang Yanran's inner, suppressed anger was rapidly escalating due to Lin Tianming's deliberate provocation.

[Enjoy this last bit of pleasure while you can! Soon, I will burn those filthy hands of yours!]

"Junior, we're almost there, don't be so anxious..."

As she spoke, Wang Yanran, who had had enough, tried to forcibly break free from Lin Tianming's embrace, but instead found herself being held even tighter. With no choice, Wang Yanran had to continue enduring Lin Tianming's embrace, and the two walked into the Flame Awakening Grounds together.

When Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran entered the Flame Awakening Grounds, Mo Jinghong, who was passing by, witnessed the scene.

"Those two look familiar... The guy seems to be the freshman Lin Tianming I met today, and the girl looks like the senior student council president Wang Yanran!"

Feeling puzzled about why Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran would enter the Flame Awakening Grounds so late, Mo Jinghong hesitated for a moment, then followed them out of curiosity.

Despite the imminent danger of entering the Flame Awakening Grounds, Lin Tianming still pretended to be calm. "Senior Yanran, are we going to have a deep conversation about life goals tonight?"

"Junior, don't rush. I brought you here tonight not only to talk all night but also to guide you, so you can progress faster!"

Lin Tianming knew there would be a fight between him and Wang Yanran tonight, and for him, it would likely be a deadly one. But he needed to stall for time, any extra moment could help.

"This isn't very appropriate, is it? Senior Yanran, you're a fourth-year student. I'm just a freshman who just entered. Even if you intend to go easy on me, I could still get hurt accidentally!"

[You're still touching me with those filthy hands! Ah! I'm going crazy! I can't take it anymore!]

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Wang Yanran's body was enveloped in raging flames, the rapidly rising heat forcing Lin Tianming to immediately distance himself. Finally free from Lin Tianming's hands that had been groping her all the way, Wang Yanran looked at Lin Tianming with a gentle expression.

"Junior, don't worry. Your senior Yanran has guided lower-grade students before. I'll take good care of you!"

[There's no one here. No matter how big a commotion we make, no one outside will react. Tonight, I'll give you a cremation right here, leaving not even ashes!]

As she spoke the last few words, Wang Yanran emphasized them deliberately, and combined with her inner voice full of murderous intent, Lin Tianming immediately went into combat mode, having no choice but to prepare for battle.

Phoenix Flame!

Wang Yanran started with a high-level fire attribute skill without any restraint. The terrifying power of the flames far surpassed that of Wang Jian, whom Lin Tianming had previously fought. The burning flames quickly formed into the shape of a phoenix. The flaming phoenix, with its furious wings, swept towards Lin Tianming, surrounded by blazing fire.

Feeling the overwhelming pressure of the Phoenix Flame, Lin Tianming realized that none of his attack skills could counter Wang Yanran's move. He activated his Divine Hand—Copy!

Phoenix Flame!

Though Lin Tianming only had one copy skill left, he had no choice but to forcefully copy Wang Yanran's Phoenix Flame, as not copying it would lead to certain death. He needed to survive this move first and then worry about what came next. Instantly, Lin Tianming also conjured a Phoenix Flame, and with the additional power boost from his copy ability, his Phoenix Flame was even more powerful.

Although Wang Yanran had been defiled by Lin Tianming in their previous life, she didn't know much about his Divine Hand. At that time, she had been absorbing the Phoenix Crystal and couldn't move, so Lin Tianming had easily defiled her and taken the remaining half of the Phoenix Crystal's power. Despite not understanding Lin Tianming's Divine Hand in their previous life, she had watched videos of Lin Tianming fighting Wang Jian, Feng Lan, and Lei Dong in this life and had a detailed understanding of Lin Tianming's abilities.

So, when she saw Lin Tianming's copied Phoenix Flame being more powerful than her own, she wasn't surprised at all.

"Junior, you really deserve to be the top freshman. But unfortunately, just this won't be enough!"

[Your copy skills might be effective against others, but copying my skills to fight me will only make me stronger!]

[In the previous life, I was immobile, which gave you an opportunity. Do you really think your Divine Hand is that powerful?]

Hearing Wang Yanran's inner voice, Lin Tianming, who had thought he could hold out for a while longer, suddenly felt a jolt of fear. Immediately, under his incredulous gaze, Wang Yanran, like the sovereign of all flames, began absorbing the Phoenix Flame he had unleashed. As the Phoenix Flame let out a mournful cry, the enhanced fire attribute skill he had copied became fuel for Wang Yanran, strengthening her flame power.

How could he fight this? First, there was Alice, who prevented him from copying skills. Now, Wang Yanran could absorb the power of his copied fire skills. These reborn goddesses seeking revenge were increasingly overwhelming!

Taking a deep breath, Lin Tianming, whose copy skills were now on cooldown, had to find another way to escape. Spiritual Energy Transformation! As Wang Yanran's terrifying Phoenix Flame was about to hit him, Lin Tianming activated Spiritual Energy Transformation, turning his body into a ghostly spirit form in an instant. Using this move, he narrowly avoided Wang Yanran's killing blow and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior, this skill of yours that can turn your body into a spiritual form is quite interesting. I forgot to guard against it just now, but it might not work next time!"

[Damn! I was so focused on breaking his copy skills that I forgot he could use a spiritual form to dodge damage. I missed the chance to kill him in one blow!]

[But it's okay, I'll kill him in the next move!]

Just as Wang Yanran was about to launch another lethal attack on Lin Tianming, a voice full of excitement echoed through the Flame Awakening Grounds.

"Senior Yanran, Junior Lin Tianming, I saw you two coming in while I was passing by and was curious why you would come here so late. So, it turns out Senior Yanran is guiding Junior in training!"

With this voice, Wang Yanran instantly withdrew her skill and looked towards the source of the sound. Lin Tianming also turned to look in the same direction. Under the gaze of Wang Yanran and Lin Tianming, the second-year student Mo Jinghong slowly walked into their view.

[Damn! Someone found us. Now I can't quietly kill this scumbag Lin Tianming!]

Hearing Wang Yanran's apprehensive inner voice due to Mo Jinghong's sudden appearance, Lin Tianming knew he was saved. He had been worried that even with Mo Jinghong's appearance, Wang Yanran might still kill him despite the risk of being discovered. Fortunately, she hesitated, allowing Lin Tianming to relax his tense nerves a bit. The more he looked at Mo Jinghong, the more he found her pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps it was the excitement of escaping death, but Lin Tianming quickly distanced himself from Wang Yanran and ran towards Mo Jinghong. Under Mo Jinghong's astonished gaze, Lin Tianming hugged her, thanking her for saving his life.

"Senior Jinghong, I almost got killed just now. You're really my savior! Come, let me hug you!"
