Chapter 46: The New Skill of Psionic Ascension! Psionic Storm!
Lin Tianming prided himself on being a person who respected his teachers deeply. However, today's special soul power training arranged by Jiang Han made him seriously doubt whether she was taking revenge for some grudge from their previous lives. If he hadn't heard Jiang Han's inner thoughts confirming that she genuinely intended to develop his psionic ascension abilities, Lin Tianming would have felt even more agitated.
[Although I don't know if Tianming's soul power in this life is as I hypothesize, potentially similar to a divine hand ability, this soul-targeted training is undoubtedly useful as long as I control the intensity.]
Watching bolt after bolt of lightning descend from the sky without giving him any respite, striking his soul that had been drawn out of his body, Lin Tianming couldn't help but mutter internally.
"Jiang Han, are you sure you're controlling the intensity? I'm about to be electrocuted to death by you!"
Despite these complaints, Lin Tianming's calm mind could sense that his soul seemed to be growing more robust and resilient with each lightning strike. This indicated that Jiang Han's seemingly lethal training was indeed effective.
Acknowledging the effectiveness of this grueling training, Lin Tianming could only endure the doubled pain of his soul being electrocuted and continue the session. As time passed, Lin Tianming, who had previously been in agony and even swearing, was surprised to find that the pain was gradually lessening. Moreover, he felt on the verge of an epiphany, as if he was about to awaken a powerful new skill.
Seizing this fleeting inspiration, Lin Tianming immersed himself completely. Jiang Han, who had been using lightning to train his soul, noticed the significant transformation occurring in his soul.
[This is the sign of awakening a new skill... Whether in the previous life or this one, Tianming's talent is extraordinarily high, making me somewhat envious as his teacher.]
[In the previous life, he didn't have the serendipity to awaken a suspected soul ability, so I don't know what skill he'll awaken this time...]
[If it’s a soul skill, it means my hypothesis is correct, and he indeed awakened a special soul ability.]
Under Jiang Han's expectant gaze, the soul power around Lin Tianming surged stronger and stronger, rapidly forming a storm-like vortex. Upon successfully forming this vortex, Lin Tianming checked and found a new classification under his abilities: Psionic Ascension.
Psionic Ascension wasn't listed under Divine Hand, copying abilities, or plundering abilities. Instead, it was a separate category parallel to Divine Hand abilities. The soul spark, psionic transformation, and the new psionic ascension skill were all under this category.
"Psionic Storm... Jiang Han, thanks to you, I've awakened a new skill!" He glanced at the new skill's name and immediately shared his joy with Jiang Han. Without her professional soul power training, Lin Tianming was certain he wouldn't have figured this out on his own anytime soon.
Indeed, developing latent abilities should be left to professionals!
Unlike the original Lin Tianming, he genuinely cared for those who were kind to him. He would never commit the unforgivable acts of the original, such as betraying his teacher.
In just two days, Jiang Han had helped him develop the plundering ability of Divine Hand and now the skills of the psionic ascension path. These were unprecedented abilities with no historical record to reference for potential development. Jiang Han’s dedication to nurturing his potential was irreplaceable.
Before crossing over, on Blue Star, Lin Tianming had heard many stories, both from his own experiences and from various sources, about teachers who would exploit their students for personal gain. Meeting a dedicated teacher like Jiang Han in this life, he vowed to cherish their time together and never repeat the original Lin Tianming's betrayal.
Upon hearing the name of the new skill Lin Tianming had awakened, Jiang Han's face showed satisfaction.
"So, this soul power skill is called Psionic Storm? Excellent, very excellent! It seems my hypothesis was correct; you indeed awakened a new ability different from Divine Hand!"
[This life, Tianming's potential seems even stronger than the last!]
[Such a prodigy, I really want to witness the moment he truly grows and becomes independent!]
[It looks like I need to include regular training sessions for his soul ability. Both Divine Hand and the new soul power ability need to be cultivated!]
Hearing Jiang Han's thoughts about her commitment to his training made Lin Tianming very touched. It also made him despise the original Lin Tianming even more for betraying such a dedicated mentor.
"After an entire morning of soul power training, mental exhaustion is far more draining than physical training. Kid, go rest well. Come to me again tomorrow morning!" Jiang Han was satisfied with the results of today's training, pleased with Lin Tianming's progress in developing his new skill.
Relieved to finally rest, Lin Tianming let out a long breath.
"Yes, Jiang Han, you too, take care. I'll head back to rest now!"
As he turned to leave, he paused at the door, his blood running cold upon hearing Jiang Han's inner thoughts.
[Didn't I say yesterday that I must kill him today? How did I end up vigorously developing his new soul abilities just like in the past life?]
[Jiang Han, you cannot have any illusions about this traitor. You must be resolute and not repeat past mistakes!]
Sensing her rising killing intent, Lin Tianming quickly escaped from the Lightning Awakening Ground. Once outside, he was relieved to have narrowly avoided another crisis. Catching his breath, he was about to leave when he heard Ye Qingxue's sweet voice calling out.
"Tianming!"
Looking ahead, he saw Ye Qingxue, who had been waiting for him, running towards him. Seeing the only girlfriend he had successfully won over, Lin Tianming felt a surge of happiness.
"Qingxue, were you waiting for me?"
"Yes, Tianming, come with me to the North Gate!"
Ye Qingxue took his arm, leading him towards the North Gate.
Thinking she wanted to take him to lunch, Lin Tianming asked, "The North Gate? Not the South Gate cafeteria? It’s closer to here."
"Don’t worry about that. Just come with me to the North Gate! Do you know what day it is today, Tianming?"
Lin Tianming, seeing her eagerness, frowned. "What day is it?"
While running, Ye Qingxue explained, "Today is the day the second-year students who participated in the Global Higher Awakener Academy Competition return. They’re all the elites among the second-years. Let’s go see what they look like and see how many of them can match your talent, Tianming!"
