Chapter 33: Forgot the Cooldown of Copying Abilities! This Time, Lin Tianming Might Really Get Slashed!
Chapter 33: Forgot the Cooldown of Copying Abilities! This Time, Lin Tianming Might Really Get Slashed!
"Tianming, you haven't copied your instructor Jiang Han's ultra-level forbidden curse skill, have you?"
Before making a move, Feng Lan asked Lin Tianming a question.
It was fine if she didn't ask, but once she did, it reminded Lin Tianming of a life-and-death matter for this battle.
That was, his Divine Hand copying skill was currently on cooldown!
He had used up all three copy skills in the actual combat class with Jiang Han earlier and needed to wait twelve hours for the cooldown to reset.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming cursed himself for his carelessness, forgetting this crucial detail.
Accepting Feng Lan's sparring challenge in this situation was no different from committing suicide.
A wise man knows when to retreat; let's fight another day!
Under Feng Lan's puzzled gaze, Lin Tianming suddenly clutched his stomach, planning to use the same excuse he had used on Wang Yiran last night.
"Uh... Feng Lan, I suddenly have a stomachache. It seems having a vigorous exercise right after lunch isn't a good idea. How about we battle next time?"
Upon hearing Lin Tianming suggest battling next time, the confusion in Feng Lan's eyes vanished instantly. She directly attacked Lin Tianming.
[I can't wait until next time. I'm afraid the longer I wait, the harder it will be for me to kill you!]
[So, whether your stomachache is real or fake, today, we must settle this!]
Seeing Feng Lan charging at him murderously, Lin Tianming inwardly cursed.
Last night, Wang Yiran had the decency to respect his stomachache and agreed to find trouble another day.
This Feng Lan was simply a madwoman, insisting on settling things now!
Outside the arena, Lin Tianming had another troublemaker in Ye Qingxue.
"Tianming gege, you can do it! I believe you can win!"
[Tianming gege, what are you waiting for? Copy Feng Lan's skills and crush her!]
[You can copy any of her skills and unleash greater power than her. Isn't that an easy win?]
[Tianming gege, don't tell me you're really enchanted by this vixen Feng Lan and can't bear to hit her?]
[If that's true... Tianming gege, to prevent you from abandoning me and harming my parents again, I... I can only kill you, you heartless man, and end this once and for all!]
Madwoman!
They're all madwomen!
Listening to these madwomen's thoughts of killing him at the drop of a hat, Lin Tianming felt his scalp tingle.
As Feng Lan, wielding her sword, was about to strike him, Lin Tianming quickly dodged to create some distance.
However, Feng Lan relentlessly pursued him with swift speed.
Wind Sword Slash!
The unsheathed wind sword in her hand hummed, a murderous aura enveloping sharp, blade-like winds that locked onto Lin Tianming.
This terrifying slash could annihilate any awakened being of her level.
Feeling the terrifying power of this move, Lin Tianming's eyes darkened, "Feng Lan, this is supposed to be a sparring match. Are you really going to kill me?"
Spirit Conversion!
His body gradually transformed from solid to ethereal. Using Spirit Conversion, Lin Tianming instantly escaped the locked zone of the Wind Sword Slash and reformed his body in a safe area.
[What is this skill? I didn't see Tianming use this in the past life.]
[But so what? Even if my rebirth caused a butterfly effect, you can't possibly be a match for me, reborn with my past life's power!]
[Copied skills can only be used once. Let's see how you'll dodge next time!]
Feng Lan was shocked at Lin Tianming's easy evasion of her Wind Sword Slash but quickly adjusted her mindset, launching another fierce attack on Lin Tianming.
Copied skill?
Dear Feng Lan, this isn't a copied skill!
Having heard Feng Lan's thoughts, Lin Tianming saw her use Wind Sword Slash again, a faint smile playing on his lips.
In the next moment, he once again etherealized into a spirit form, easily evading Feng Lan's Wind Sword Slash.
"Feng Lan, it looks like you can't touch me. This is just a sparring match. Why don't we call it a day?"
Ignoring Lin Tianming's suggestion, Feng Lan's swift charge at him indicated her resolve to fight to the end.
[Today, there must be a conclusion between us!]
Listening to Feng Lan's unyielding thoughts, Lin Tianming felt somewhat fatigued.
His copying ability was on cooldown, but luckily, the Spirit Conversion learned from the Spirit Ascension Pool could perfectly avoid Feng Lan's attacks.
He continued playing the game of cat and mouse with Feng Lan in the arena, hoping to wear her out until she gave up.
Meanwhile, outside, Ye Qingxue began adding more pressure on him.
[Tianming gege must be enchanted by Feng Lan! He's using the Spirit Conversion we learned in the secret realm to dodge, feeling pity for her and not fighting back!]
[It seems... even if the butterfly effect changes some things in this life, the major events determining my fate remain unchanged?]
[I'm destined to be abandoned by Tianming gege, publicly humiliated, and have my parents killed by him, beginning my path to becoming the Ice Goddess for revenge?]
[If that's true, I must end this unfair fate in its cradle, no matter how heartbroken I am!]
[If Heaven dictates that Tianming gege will abandon me and kill my parents, then I, Ye Qingxue, will defy Heaven!]
Lin Tianming's mind was about to explode.
Ye Qingxue, stop overthinking!
I'm already exhausted dealing with Feng Lan. Why add more pressure?
Lin Tianming felt bitter inside.
Cleaning up the mess left by the original owner was truly difficult!
He needed to conquer Feng Lan and guard against the already conquered Ye Qingxue's retaliation, which was exhausting.
As time passed, Lin Tianming, using Spirit Conversion, continuously dodged Feng Lan's attacks.
Noticing Feng Lan's visible fatigue compared to when they started, Lin Tianming tried persuading her again.
"Feng Lan, I can't hurt you, and you can't hit me. We're both exhausted. Let's call it a day, shall we?"
"Who said I can't hit you?" Feng Lan's eyes narrowed slightly.
After fighting for so long and missing Lin Tianming every time, it seemed she was doing pointless work. But in reality, she was figuring out how to break his move.
After this time, she had found a way to pull Lin Tianming out of his ethereal form.
[If I hadn't been reborn, I would have no way to counter this move!]
[At my peak in the past life, I was the Wind Sword Goddess. I've seen through it. This is a soul power skill!]
[Although my power doesn't involve the soul, as a god who once ascended to the divine realm, I know how to deal with various innate abilities!]
[Wind Soul Bind!]
Hearing Feng Lan's thoughts about discovering a countermeasure, Lin Tianming's pupils contracted.
He instinctively tried to pull away but found his ethereal body slowly becoming solid.
What's more alarming was that Feng Lan launched her Wind Sword Slash again at this moment.
Unable to use Spirit Conversion to dodge the Wind Sword Slash, Lin Tianming took a sharp breath.
[My Wind Soul Bind is specifically for soul ability users. You have no escape, Tianming!]
Feng Lan's determined eyes indicated her intent to end her past life's grudge with Lin Tianming in one strike.
But the closer she got to Lin Tianming, the closer she got to severing her past life ties. The more anxious she became, as if she was about to lose something most precious.
Her body trembled. Seeing Lin Tianming about to be slashed and covered in blood, she couldn't bear to watch and closed her eyes.
[It's over, Tianming... I'm sorry... for my parents, I must end you here!]
