Global Awakening SSS-Rank: Hearing the Beauty’s Heart

Chapter 91: Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan Clash! Lin Tianming is Stunned!

Having just seen Teacher Tianshui subdue the Water Spirit Bridge, Lin Tianming was quite envious.

Now it was finally his turn. Lin Tianming couldn't help but fondly touch the Condensed Ice Bell, which had shrunk to the size of a bell after being subdued by him.

He smugly said to the Tianshui beside him, "Teacher Tianshui, am I impressive or what?"

Tianshui glanced at Lin Tianming, whose joy was evident on his face, and smiled gently.

"Yes, I underestimated you, little brother Tianming. The ice attribute artifacts in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm are not as easy to subdue as those in other secret realms. With the power of the sinister gods obstructing and its own resistance to non-ice attribute powers, it's surprising you managed to subdue it."

[It seems that in this reborn life, not only the people around me have changed, but even he... seems to have changed...]

[I wonder where he obtained the power of the Psychic Ascenders. Before the arrival of the three great ascension kingdoms, I can't think of anywhere that could have provided such power...]

[Should I ask him? Forget it... This is his opportunity in this life, whether I ask or not doesn't make a difference to me. I don't need to become a Psychic Ascender.]

Tianshui's curiosity, which was making her itch, was all overheard by Lin Tianming.

She didn’t ask, and Lin Tianming was just as happy not to explain how he acquired the power of the Psychic Ascenders.

Only Ye Qingxue, who accompanied him into the Lost Lands, knew this. After all, she witnessed him jump into the Psychic Ascension Pool to undergo the baptism.

It's also uncertain how Tianshui, who lived through the era of the three great ascension kingdoms, would react when he showcased the Mechanical Transformation ability, revealing his identity as a Mechanical Ascender.

Simultaneously walking both the paths of the Psychic and Mechanical Ascenders was something even the people of the three great ascension kingdoms couldn't accomplish!

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming was a bit eager to see the jaw-dropping expression of the ever-gentle Teacher Tianshui.

It would surely be amusing!

After playing with the Condensed Ice Bell enough, Lin Tianming decided not to think more about teasing the gentle female teacher and instead planned to test the abilities of the Condensed Ice Bell.

With a thought, the Condensed Ice Bell quickly expanded and rang with a melodious chime.

As the bell rang, the ancient battlefield around them began to shake violently.

Following this, the Tianshui beside Lin Tianming was mentally unprepared and was affected by the bell's vibration, losing her composure.

[How could he activate the Condensed Ice Bell without warning? With no defenses up, even I would be influenced by this bell sound!]

In the next moment, the mentally unprepared Tianshui was enveloped by the freezing tide triggered by the bell, freezing her in place.

Lin Tianming only wanted to test the abilities of the Condensed Ice Bell and had no intention of harming Tianshui. Seeing Tianshui first suffer a soul attack and then get frozen in place, Lin Tianming couldn't help but cover his face.

"Teacher Tianshui, I swear I didn't do it on purpose..."

Even though it wasn't intentional, Lin Tianming was quite satisfied with the power of the Condensed Ice Bell's combo, which could even affect Teacher Tianshui. However, to make someone like Tianshui, who was close to being a top-tier Awakener, fall for it, it would have to be used as a surprise move.

Otherwise, with Tianshui's strength, she surely had means to defend against soul attacks from the Condensed Ice Bell.

After testing the bell's power, Lin Tianming quickly stored it back into the void space where it belonged.

Then he walked up to Tianshui and said to the ice-encased teacher, "My Condensed Ice Bell can only freeze people; it doesn't have the ability to unfreeze them. Teacher Tianshui, can you hear me? Um... could you free yourself?"

Having accidentally attacked Tianshui with the combo, Lin Tianming felt somewhat guilty. This was the only goddess reincarnator he had met who didn't harbor any killing intent towards him and didn't need to be conquered.

Although this was due to Tianshui's overly gentle and escapist personality, Lin Tianming didn't want this accidental attack to change her mind, making her decide to fight him to the end.

Encased in ice but still able to think, Tianshui’s mental state was being closely monitored by Lin Tianming.

[I thought he would try to take my Pure Water Source again, like in the previous life. It seems he really was just testing the Condensed Ice Bell...]

[In this life, I didn't tell him about the Pure Water Source, so he couldn’t possibly want to take it from me now. Oh well... I'll just free myself.]

Hearing that Tianshui didn't hold any killing intent towards him because of this incident, Lin Tianming felt relieved.

Under his watchful eyes, the ice encasing Tianshui began to melt at a visible speed.

In a matter of moments, Tianshui had melted all the ice and freed herself.

However, the method she used to free herself made her body emit a white steam-like heat, and her light blue clothes were soaked with water vapor, making her semi-transparent and revealing glimpses of her skin beneath.

That's quite a lot of water!

Lin Tianming felt a bit thirsty at the sight.

Afraid that continuing to look would really lead to trouble, Lin Tianming turned his head forward. "Let's keep going!"

Tianshui, aware that Lin Tianming had seen her in such a state, also felt her pretty face, still somewhat covered in water vapor, blush slightly, recalling their close relationship before he took her Pure Water Source in the previous life.

[Don't think too much, Tianshui. Have you forgotten the vow you made two months ago when you were reborn?]

[In this life, you can spare him, but you must have nothing more to do with him. Holding onto any fantasy about him will only lead to you getting hurt again in this life!]

[After leaving here, go back to Water Mirror Academy, stay as far away from him as possible. You need to forget... forget... forget!]

With such self-admonishments, Tianshui's emotions, stirred by past feelings, gradually calmed down.

Hearing Tianshui's heart, which only wanted to escape reality, Lin Tianming didn't know what to say to her.

Since the original had wronged her, and she wanted to escape, it was better to respect her wishes and not provoke her much.

This way, she wouldn’t be troubled, and he could avoid having another goddess reincarnator to conquer. Why not?

With this in mind, Lin Tianming also made a decision.

After leaving this Ice and Snow Secret Realm, he would try to stay away from this goddess Tianshui!

On the road ahead, both Lin Tianming and Tianshui remained silent for a long time because of the recent suggestive scene.

It wasn't until they reached an ice cave entrance with countless shattered ice pieces at the door that Tianshui, who was familiar with the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, broke the silence.

"Little Brother Tianming, those scattered ice shards at the entrance of the ice cave are the body parts of two Ice Guards. If we want to enter this ice cave, we'll likely alert them, so..."

Before Tianshui could finish speaking, Lin Tianming walked towards the countless ice shards.

"Since they are the Ice Guards guarding the entrance, we will definitely alert them when we go in. Instead of trying to avoid them, we might as well trigger them and smash them head-on!"

[Little Brother Tianming is too impatient; he didn't even wait for me to finish talking. I came here once in my previous life, so I know how to avoid them!]

[Those two Ice Guards will adapt their strength according to the level of their opponent. We don't need to waste time here!]

When Lin Tianming heard Tianshui's thoughts, he had already reached the scattered body parts of the two Ice Guards on the ground.

He felt a bit frustrated. If he had known that Tianshui knew how to avoid them, he wouldn't have walked over so arrogantly.

Just as Lin Tianming was about to face the Ice Guards, he found that the body parts on the ground remained motionless.

Lin Tianming even boldly poked the parts on the ground with his hand, but they didn't reassemble and attack him.

He turned around and waved to Tianshui, "Teacher Tianshui, they don't seem to react as you said they would when disturbed."

Tianshui also quickly came over and squatted down to carefully examine the body parts of the Ice Guards.

After a moment, she frowned and said, "Someone beat us to it and has already defeated these two Ice Guards. Their ice core power is exhausted and needs to recover before they can continue guarding the ice cave. That's why they aren't reacting to our presence."

Hearing Tianshui's analysis, Lin Tianming's eyes lit up. "Could it be that my Qingxue did this?"

Tianshui shook her head, "I'm not sure. There are two different elemental forces around here."

Two different elemental forces?

Lin Tianming thought for a moment and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. Let's go in, Teacher Tianshui. We can't let others take the treasures inside!"

"Yes, let's go in and take a look."

Tianshui nodded slightly and accompanied Lin Tianming into the ice cave.

After passing through the initial passage at the entrance, Lin Tianming and Tianshui quickly arrived at the magnificent ice crystal hall inside the cave.

As soon as they entered, before Lin Tianming could even observe the surroundings, a wind blade flew towards him.

Facing an attack right after entering, Lin Tianming quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the attack.

Just as he dodged the attack and wanted to see who was attacking him, several ice spikes flew at him from another direction.

One wave had just ended, and another began. Lin Tianming quickly dodged again, avoiding the ice spikes.

The two places where he had just stood were completely shattered by the ice spikes and wind blade, creating huge cracks.

Just as Lin Tianming finally had a moment to see who was attacking him, two familiar voices made him freeze in place.

"Don't come near! The Ice Soul Crystal is mine!"

"Get lost! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

These two voices sounded like Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan!

Recognizing the owners of these voices immediately, Lin Tianming looked closely.

As he had guessed, the ones who attacked him with wind blades and ice spikes were indeed Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan.

Seeing that it was really them, and that they were fighting fiercely in the ice crystal hall, using attacks far beyond those of normal awakened individuals of the same level, Lin Tianming couldn't help but rub his forehead.

"Feng Lan is here too? This is troublesome!"

While Lin Tianming was troubled by the fierce fight between Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue in the ice crystal hall, they unleashed powerful attacks in his direction without regard for their surroundings.

A dense rain of frost arrows blocked the area above his head.

Several violent tornadoes sealed off the ground around him.

Caught between the frost arrows and tornadoes, Lin Tianming, who hadn't done anything, was inexplicably trapped in a corner with no escape.

He was completely stunned.
