Chapter 116: Yongyu's Defeat! Lin Tianming Has No Choice But to Take the Stage!
The sky-burning fire of Lihuo blazed fiercely, causing the very space to tremble and triggering the protective barrier of Fengling Arena.
If not for Fengling Arena’s protective barrier, the sky-burning fire would have undoubtedly burned many of the nearby spectators.
This shocking scene left everyone at the scene dumbfounded.
Mo Jinghong, standing beside Lin Tianming, frowned and said, “What kind of awakening beast is that? How can it unleash such a powerful flame skill?”
Through Meng Xiyue’s inner thoughts, Lin Tianming had already learned that the unfamiliar awakening beast was no ordinary one but the divine beast Lihuo Sparrow.
However, Lin Tianming wouldn’t tell Mo Jinghong this, as it would reveal his ability to eavesdrop on inner thoughts.
They could only wait for Meng Xiyue to explain her divine beast Lihuo Sparrow herself.
Under Lin Tianming’s watchful eyes, the Lihuo Sparrow’s Lihuo Burning Sky ignored attribute suppression and instantly evaporated Yongyu’s rippling waves into steam, advancing towards Yongyu with undiminished power.
Seeing this, Yongyu immediately played his Tianyin Flute.
Terrifying waves surged, trying to extinguish the boiling flames of Lihuo.
But under the godly realm flames of Lihuo Burning Sky, the waves were instantly evaporated.
Feeling the pressure from Meng Xiyue, Yongyu took a deep breath.
Even when he previously battled the strongest second-year student from Beiyin Region, he had never felt such immense pressure.
He couldn’t understand how a first-year student, who had just started school, could possess such formidable power.
He, a second-year student with a top-level SSS-grade ability, and the runner-up in the Global Advanced Awakener Academy Tournament, had been cultivating hard for a year, yet he was still inferior to a new student?
Could it be that the freshmen of Lin Tianming’s class were more outstanding than all the second-year students?
So outstanding that even with a year’s less cultivation, Lin Tianming and Meng Xiyue could crush all the second-year students?
For his own sake and the sake of the Imperial Capital Grand Emperor Academy, Yongyu did not want to lose.
He once again played his Tianyin Flute, using the new skill he had recently realized upon returning to the academy.
Tianyin Water Prison!
In the next instant, the flute’s melody released a strong sonic wave attack, bypassing the sky-burning fire and striking directly at Meng Xiyue herself.
At the same time, a water prison that seemed capable of imprisoning everything surrounded the advancing Lihuo.
“This water attribute... so strong!”
Watching the battle, Lin Tianming was shocked by the power of Yongyu’s Tianyin Water Prison as he launched a counterattack just before his defeat.
The sonic wave attack from Tianyin directly hit Meng Xiyue, and the water prison confined Lihuo, showing power far beyond ordinary skills of the same level.
But unfortunately, compared to a skill that had touched upon the godly realm, it still fell short.
[Interesting. As a non-reincarnated individual, your understanding and comprehension of water attribute power at level twenty-seven show the potential to become a god in the future. If I hadn't been reincarnated, I definitely couldn't defeat you at a higher level. But sadly…]
[But sadly, there are no ifs! Fall under the godly realm growth skill of the divine beast Lihuo Sparrow!]
Accompanied by the Lihuo Sparrow's cry, the sonic wave attack aimed at Meng Xiyue dissipated on the spot.
The water prison confining the Lihuo also evaporated within seconds.
In the unbelieving eyes of the students watching, Yongyu, who had used his strongest move, was defeated by the flames of Lihuo Burning Sky.
The sky-burning flames would have seriously injured Yongyu, but they were retracted by Meng Xiyue’s Lihuo Sparrow the moment Yongyu was defeated.
Meng Xiyue leisurely walked to the fallen Yongyu and smiled slightly.
“Senior Yongyu, I won this move by luck. Thank you for letting me win.”
Yongyu sighed deeply. “Junior Meng, I lost. What kind of awakening beast is that? Why have I never seen it before?”
“The Lihuo Sparrow. I discovered it in a secret realm.”
“So that’s it. Junior Meng, although I lost today, I gained a lot. I will go back and hone my skills further, hoping to improve for our next spar.”
Though he gave his all and still lost to the first-year Meng Xiyue, Yongyu accepted his defeat graciously.
After speaking, he left Fengling Arena.
At this moment, a boy who looked very similar to Meng Xiyue ran into the arena.
“Amazing, Xiyue, you even defeated the top second-year student of the Imperial Capital Grand Emperor Academy. You’ve really brought glory to our North Shore Academy!”
“Brother Haoran, let’s go.”
Seeing her brother Meng Haoran, Meng Xiyue left Fengling Arena with him.
Watching the siblings leave, Lin Tianming’s questions were answered.
The male beast master he encountered in the Lost Forest was indeed related to Meng Xiyue. They were siblings!
But this wasn’t Lin Tianming’s main concern now. He was more worried about Meng Xiyue’s identity as a reincarnated goddess.
Although he hadn’t obtained detailed information about Meng Xiyue’s past life from the system, he could tell from her inner thoughts that she was also seeking revenge against him for wrongs done by the original owner of his body.
At times like this, Lin Tianming missed Teacher Tianshui.
If only these reincarnated goddesses were like Teacher Tianshui and didn’t seek revenge!
“Lin Tianming, prepare yourself. The responsibility of defending the academy’s honor might fall on you since the third and fourth-year students won’t take the stage.”
Hearing Mo Jinghong’s words, Lin Tianming felt a shiver down his spine.
He wasn’t interested in fighting Meng Xiyue, and now knowing she held a deep grudge against him made him even more reluctant.
In a real fight, Meng Xiyue wouldn’t hold back like she did against Yongyu.
She would fight him to the death, just like Feng Lan!
Involving the original owner’s grudge against Meng Xiyue, Lin Tianming didn’t bother to explain further to Mo Jinghong.
After spending a bit more time with Mo Jinghong, Lin Tianming returned to his dorm to rest.
As soon as he got back, Jiang Han sent him a message similar to Mo Jinghong’s prediction.
“The school authorities contacted me, asking me to persuade you to have a fair match with Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy’s first year. I wanted to hear your thoughts first.”
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Han was prepared.
If Lin Tianming didn’t want to fight Meng Xiyue, she would personally explain to the school authorities.
With her status, the school authorities wouldn’t dare force her student to do anything.
But Lin Tianming wasn’t with Jiang Han, so he couldn’t use his ability to eavesdrop on her thoughts.
Although he didn’t want to fight Meng Xiyue, he felt that since Teacher Jiang Han had reached out to him, she probably wanted him to represent the academy.
Rather than refusing and waiting for her to convince him, he might as well agree immediately.
Thinking this, Lin Tianming replied to Jiang Han.
“Since Teacher Jiang Han asked me, I will do my duty without hesitation!”
Jiang Han was genuinely surprised by Lin Tianming’s response.
Knowing his different personality in this life, she expected him to be disinterested.
She had prepared to tell him to relax and focus on training with her.
But since he agreed, she sent him the details of the match.
“Since you decided to fight, I’ll tell you the time and place the school set: tomorrow at noon, Fengling Arena!”
