Chapter 114: The Final Ace of the Second Year, Yong Yu! Can He Preserve the Reputation of the Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy?
Lin Tianming could never have imagined that from the time they entered the school until now, Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan, who had always been at odds, would temporarily reconcile and train together in a secret effort to break through the seventeenth level.
The incentive for their secret training wasn't him but Meng Xiyue, the SSS-level Beast Master from Beian Academy.
Seeing Meng Xiyue so forcefully defeating almost all the second-year students of the Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy, the only one who could remain calm was Lin Tianming.
However, within this Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy, there was still someone who could make Lin Tianming uneasy.
That person was Teacher Jiang Han, who liked to put him through devilish training.
"Damned Jiang Han! Saying the second-stage lightning pool intensity training wasn't enough for me, fearing the third stage wouldn't suffice either, so she directly skipped to the fourth stage of lightning pool baptism. This devil almost drained me dry!"
Cursing as he walked out from the awakening grounds of the lightning training, Lin Tianming was nearly exhausted.
He had just thought of waiting for his clingy little girlfriend, Qingxue, to help him rest, only to remember that Ye Qingxue had told him yesterday she had things to do and couldn't accompany him lately.
"Hahaha! I can't take it anymore... I'm really not doing it on purpose... hahaha! Junior Lin Tianming, no... you look too funny... I can't hold it in! What happened to you?"
Nearby, mocking laughter came suddenly. Lin Tianming, who had just finished devilish training, looked over annoyed.
Seeing that it was Mo Jinghong, who had helped him several times, Lin Tianming restrained the urge to hit someone.
He gave Mo Jinghong, who was still in the mood to laugh at him, a sideways glance: "Senior Jinghong, can you stop laughing?"
"No... I don't want to! Hahaha... I just happened to pass by, didn't expect to run into you like this. Did that Meng Xiyue from the other school beat you up like this?"
Mo Jinghong swore to the heavens, she definitely didn't mean to laugh at Lin Tianming.
The main thing was that Lin Tianming looked really too funny; she couldn't hold it in.
Lin Tianming said: "I haven't even met Meng Xiyue, how could she beat me? I just finished Teacher Jiang Han's devilish training!"
Mo Jinghong took a breath, slightly restraining her nearly over-the-top laughter.
"Damned? Junior Lin Tianming, it seems your Teacher Jiang Han is very strict with you usually. No wonder you've advanced so quickly, already at the seventeenth level, the same as that Meng Xiyue from the other school!"
"Stop mocking me, Senior Jinghong. If there's nothing else, I'll go rest first!"
"Rare to meet up, and it's lunchtime, you can't just slip away! Do you know how hard it is to get a date with you? This time, no matter what, we must have lunch together!"
Mo Jinghong smilingly blocked Lin Tianming.
Since adding Lin Tianming as a friend, she had always wanted to meet up with him, to satisfy her curiosity about this junior.
But every time she looked for him, he seemed very busy.
This time, she finally caught him and wouldn't let him go.
Seeing Mo Jinghong so persistent, Lin Tianming hesitated for a moment but agreed.
"Alright, Senior Jinghong, where shall we have lunch? The cafeteria?"
"The cafeteria is too boring. Come, I'll treat you today. There's a new restaurant by the North Gate, with great food. It's got discounts for the first week of opening, and the portions are generous. I'll take you to try it!"
After speaking, Mo Jinghong dragged Lin Tianming towards the North Gate, wearing him out just after his training.
"Hiss... Senior, take it easy, my bones are about to fall apart!"
Thus, Lin Tianming was dragged to the new restaurant by Mo Jinghong. He was already exhausted and almost collapsed.
Mo Jinghong smiled: "How's this place? Isn't the environment nice, Tianming?"
"It's nice, but Senior Jinghong, could you not drag me around when I'm so tired next time? I'm afraid I'll suddenly collapse on the way!"
"Alright, alright! Let me treat you well today; I'll order extra dishes for you!"
Mo Jinghong smilingly picked up the menu and ordered a bunch of dishes.
The newly opened restaurant wasn't crowded, and their dishes came quickly.
They ate and chatted, having a great time.
After eating and drinking, they didn't leave immediately but continued chatting in the restaurant.
"Junior Lin Tianming, I saw a message that in ten minutes, Meng Xiyue from Beian Academy will challenge our second-year top student, Yong Yu!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming frowned.
He remembered that Meng Xiyue hadn't yet challenged the second-ranked Mo Jinghong, so why challenge the top-ranked Yong Yu directly?
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming asked Mo Jinghong: "Senior Jinghong, I remember that Meng Xiyue hasn't openly challenged you yet, so why is she directly challenging Senior Yong Yu? Did she beat you privately?"
Mo Jinghong smiled, explaining to Lin Tianming.
"She indeed hasn't fought me yet, but she did approach me. I refused her challenge."
"Uh... refused?"
Lin Tianming was surprised. He didn't expect Mo Jinghong to refuse Meng Xiyue's challenge.
Now the entire Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy was waiting for someone to defeat Meng Xiyue from Beian Academy to preserve their reputation.
By refusing, wasn't she conceding without a fight?
If this spread, it would damage the academy's reputation.
Seeing Lin Tianming's confusion, Mo Jinghong explained her reason for refusing.
"Unless necessary, I don't want to waste my energy on meaningless battles recently. I've been overflowing with inspiration lately, spending a lot of time upgrading my exclusive weapon. It consumes a lot of soul power, so I refused."
Mo Jinghong's explanation reminded Lin Tianming of her SSS-level ability, Forge Hand, related to crafting weapons.
"So that's it..."
"I'll tell you a secret, my inspiration was sparked by your Teacher Jiang Han's heroic deeds of slaying the Divine Realm demon, the Wrath Thunder Demon King, years ago. If it succeeds, my combat power will undergo a qualitative transformation!"
Mo Jinghong's words piqued Lin Tianming's curiosity: "A qualitative transformation?"
"I have a strong feeling that if I succeed in crafting this divine weapon, I might have the potential to become a god, just like your Teacher Jiang Han!"
Mo Jinghong's mysterious words reminded Lin Tianming of Ye Qingxue mentioning that Mo Jinghong was a goddess of forging in her past life.
Could Mo Jinghong's future divinity be related to the divine weapon she wanted to forge this time?
Before Lin Tianming could ponder further, Mo Jinghong said: "What... you think I'm bragging? That I can't achieve what your Teacher Jiang Han did?"
Hearing Mo Jinghong's slightly displeased words, Lin Tianming quickly waved his hand: "How could that be? Senior Jinghong will definitely become a god in the future!"
Lin Tianming's praise delighted Mo Jinghong. She stood up and patted Lin Tianming's shoulder.
"That's more like it. Come on, Junior Lin Tianming, let's hurry to the Wind Chime Arena. We should catch Yong Yu and Meng Xiyue's battle and see if he can uphold the reputation of our Imperial Capital Great Emperor Academy!"
