Chapter 108: Advancing to Level Seventeen! Encountering a Beast Master Awakened!
Jiang Han had just thought that Lin Tianming had been toying around for too long and that was why he couldn’t escape earlier.
She had been planning to let Lin Tianming fight to the death, only to come out at the very last moment to save him from a dire battle with the Green-faced Wolf pack and the Green Moon Wolf King.
Now that Lin Tianming had successfully extricated himself using his own wits, Jiang Han naturally didn’t want her precious student to undergo such a life-threatening advancement process.
However, thinking about how worried she had been the whole time, Jiang Han’s pretty face showed a bit of dissatisfaction.
“This brat… Can’t he just stop thinking of bizarre things and be a bit more steady? Being your teacher is really exhausting, always afraid you’ll give me a heart attack someday!”
Grumbling about Lin Tianming’s constant recklessness, Jiang Han continued to stay hidden, watching over him.
At this moment, Lin Tianming had found a temporarily safe place to hide and recover his strength.
After regaining most of his energy, Lin Tianming stood up again.
Thinking about the recent battle between the Blue Crystal Water Tiger and the Green-faced Wolf pack, Lin Tianming was somewhat curious about which side would ultimately win.
“Is the combat strength of the Level 26 Blue Crystal Water Tiger slightly stronger, or is the Level 25 Green Moon Wolf King and its Green-faced Wolf pack stronger? I really want to go back and see!”
Jiang Han, who had just relaxed upon seeing Lin Tianming’s recovery, nearly fell from the tree in exasperation when she heard his comment.
“This kid… really! Can’t he just stay calm?”
Lin Tianming was merely expressing his thoughts. He wasn’t stupid; having escaped with great difficulty, he certainly wouldn’t go back to throw himself into danger again.
Now, hiding in the shadows and having recovered his strength, Lin Tianming knew he had to act cautiously in this Lost Forest. He needed to slowly search for a suitable target among the awakened beasts, emerging from the shadows to make his final advancement.
With this in mind, Lin Tianming started to hide his tracks carefully as he searched for his target in the Lost Forest.
Jiang Han had initially planned to come out and give Lin Tianming a piece of her mind, telling him not to be so reckless in this Lost Forest.
But when she saw that Lin Tianming didn’t go back to look for the Blue Crystal Water Tiger and the Green-faced Wolf pack, she realized that Lin Tianming was just talking and didn’t really intend to go back.
“This brat… you always scare me like this… I really don’t want to care about you anymore!”
Though she said she didn’t want to care, Jiang Han, feeling exhausted, continued to follow Lin Tianming.
Fortunately, Lin Tianming calmed down after that. Everywhere he went, he hid his tracks completely, and unless he found a suitable target, he never revealed himself. This brought much-needed peace to Jiang Han, who was nearly driven to a heart attack by his antics.
“A Level 27 Purple Fire Scorpion… it’s feeding. This is a good opportunity!”
After some searching, Lin Tianming finally found a target among the awakened beasts that would conserve his energy the most.
Although this Purple Fire Scorpion was a level higher than the Green Moon Wolf King, Lin Tianming was confident he could quickly defeat this lone scorpion.
“I need to be quick. If this drags on too long and attracts other awakened beasts, it’ll be hard to deal with given my limited stamina…”
Learning from his previous combat mistakes, Lin Tianming warned himself.
Spiritual Power Transformation!
To efficiently and silently kill the Purple Fire Scorpion before him, Lin Tianming turned into a spiritual form, cautiously approaching the scorpion.
In his spiritual form, Lin Tianming didn’t alert the Purple Fire Scorpion. He successfully positioned himself behind it.
Seeing the Purple Fire Scorpion feeding, Lin Tianming emerged from the shadows and unleashed a series of skills in an instant.
Thunder Rage enhanced his attack and speed, Spirit Spark struck directly at the scorpion’s soul, and Thunder Stomp landed directly on the scorpion’s body at close range.
Fast, accurate, ruthless!
Even though the Purple Fire Scorpion was a Level 27 awakened beast, it was caught off guard and died instantly under Lin Tianming’s combo of skills.
Almost simultaneously as Lin Tianming killed the Level 27 Purple Fire Scorpion, he felt the bottleneck of his advancement finally break through, and he successfully advanced to Level Seventeen.
After killing the Purple Fire Scorpion and advancing to Level Seventeen, Lin Tianming followed his previous experience in surviving the Lost Forest and immediately left the scene.
Upon reaching a safe area, Lin Tianming carefully sensed the changes in his abilities after breaking through to Level Seventeen.
He was especially focused on the cooldown time of his God Hand replication ability.
Lin Tianming remembered hearing from Teacher Jiang Han that once he broke through to Level Seventeen, the cooldown time of his God Hand would decrease from twelve hours to six hours.
Sensing that the cooldown time of his God Hand had indeed reduced to six hours, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but smile.
In the shadows, seeing Lin Tianming successfully advance to Level Seventeen and taking the time to find a safe place to sense his advancement, Jiang Han couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.
“Although he was reckless at first, fortunately, this kid learns quickly from his combat experiences. He finally advanced to Level Seventeen safely. There’s no point in staying in this Lost Forest any longer; it’s time to take him back to the Imperial Capital’s Great Academy.”
Just as Jiang Han was about to come out and congratulate Lin Tianming on his advancement, preparing to take him back to the Imperial Capital’s Great Academy, a loud commotion nearby made her frown.
Lin Tianming was also drawn by the commotion. After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously moved towards the source of the noise without exposing himself.
Soon, Lin Tianming reached the location of the commotion and saw the Blue Crystal Water Tiger from earlier.
The Blue Crystal Water Tiger stood protectively in front of its two cubs, roaring in defiance at a person eyeing its babies.
“Are there other awakened ones training in this Lost Forest?”
Under Lin Tianming’s watchful gaze, he saw a young male awakened one, about his age, at the scene.
Next to this awakened one was an awakened beast familiar to Lin Tianming – the Green Moon Wolf King that had chased him before.
The Level 25 Green Moon Wolf King, which had been extremely ferocious and unruly when chasing Lin Tianming, now seemed to be at this person’s beck and call.
“Why does the Green Moon Wolf King look like it’s obeying that person?”
While Lin Tianming was puzzled, a voice suddenly sounded behind him, startling him.
“Because his awakened ability is Beast Mastery. Beast Masters are awakened ones who tame awakened beasts to fight.”
Startled by Jiang Han’s sudden appearance behind him, Lin Tianming took a deep breath after glancing at her smiling face.
“Teacher Jiang Han, can you not appear behind people so suddenly next time? It’s scary!”
“No!”
