Chapter 127: The Girl in the Yellow Dress and the Contact
"Tianming, what was that skill you used just now? How come you didn't use it when you fought Meng Xiyue before?"
"Soul Spark, just a basic soul attack skill."
"You call that boiling, soul-obliterating skill ordinary? Are you kidding me!"
"I'm not lying to you. This is my weakest soul attack skill, but because it counters demonic entities, it becomes much stronger when facing them."
"This is your weakest soul attack skill? Comparing myself to you is infuriating. When will I ever become as powerful as you?"
The more Chu Yunfei listened to Lin Tianming's explanation, the more he felt that Lin Tianming's talent was absurdly monstrous.
Even Yongyu, who was also an SSS-level talent, felt that his own abilities paled in comparison to Lin Tianming's.
Lin Tianming smiled at Chu Yunfei and said, "Yunfei, if you want to be like me, you’ll have to work much harder. We’re already ten levels apart. If you don’t catch up, I might reach level 20 while you’re still at this level."
Talking about the level gap made Chu Yunfei show a helpless expression.
"Do you think I don't want to work hard? It’s just that your advancement speed is too fast! When school started, I was at level 7, and you were already at level 15. Now, not long after school started, you’ve broken through two more levels. Who can catch up with you?
Among the first-year students, as far as I know, only Feng Lan, Ye Qingxue, and Meng Xiyue from North Shore Academy are on par with you. I doubt there are many in all of Kyushu who can match you!"
Even Yongyu, who was an SSS-level talent, strongly agreed with Chu Yunfei’s statement.
"Chu Yunfei is right. Lin Tianming, your advancement speed is indeed too fast. Even though I’m also an SSS-level talent, I can’t keep up with you.
You should know, to avoid repeating a year, first-year students at the Imperial Capital Academy must reach level 20 by next year. You’ve barely started school and you’re already at level 17.
Even though leveling becomes harder and slower as you progress, based on my analysis, you’ll likely reach level 20 by the end of this term, meeting the minimum requirement to advance to the second year!"
Lin Tianming didn't think his speed was that fast.
Perhaps it was because he often compared himself to the reborn goddesses like Ye Qingxue, which made his progress seem normal?
Thinking about this, Lin Tianming asked Yongyu, "Senior Yongyu, what level were you when you enrolled last year?"
Yongyu answered, "Level 9, much lower than your starting level."
Hearing that Yongyu was only level 9 when he enrolled, Lin Tianming remembered something.
That was, on his first day, Teacher Jiang Han mentioned that in his previous life, he also enrolled at level 9.
Feng Lan, in her previous life, also enrolled at level 9.
However, because she was reborn, Feng Lan was level 15 when she enrolled this time.
Ye Qingxue didn’t need mentioning. In her previous life, at this time, she was still struggling with her F-level talent, searching for a way to restore her SSS-level abilities.
Meng Xiyue, in the previous life, did not meet the original protagonist, so initially, her level should have been similar to the original protagonist’s.
However, after being deprived of her talent and nearly dying, she ended up worse off than Ye Qingxue with her F-level abilities.
Thinking about this, Lin Tianming realized that if he didn't have the ability to hear thoughts and hadn’t befriended Ye Qingxue, he wouldn't have enrolled at level 15, but rather at level 9 like Yongyu.
Feng Lan and the other reborn goddesses, without their memories of rebirth, would also have enrolled at most at level 9, like Yongyu.
In other words, Yongyu represented the normal level for top geniuses without rebirth memories.
No wonder Teacher Jiang Han previously mentioned that the original protagonist was beaten up by Lei Dong when he was only level 9 at the start of school.
Thinking about this, Lin Tianming took Yongyu, this SSS-level talent without rebirth memories, more seriously.
This Yongyu, if he developed well, could become a god even without rebirth memories.
Yongyu had previously defended Lin Tianming when Lei Dong provoked him, just like Mo Jinghong. Lin Tianming was more than willing to befriend this promising senior.
Having a future god as a friend was definitely not a bad thing.
"There are still five stops to the Imperial Capital Academy, and the subway lights are still broken. It’s so annoying!"
Chu Yunfei's complaint pulled Lin Tianming out of his thoughts, and he looked around at the dark environment.
Just then, the carriage doors opened, and the faint light from the subway station shone into the dark carriage. From the left door, a petite girl in a yellow dress walked in.
Lin Tianming glanced at the girl, who had no aura of an awakened one, and then looked away.
His main focus was on the right door, where a man and a woman entered.
These two had the aura of awakened ones, not demons nor ordinary people.
But for some reason, they felt strange and eerie to Lin Tianming, on par with the demonic aura of demons.
Although the carriage was dark, Lin Tianming could still see their movements and deduced that they seemed to be looking for something.
Could they be looking for the three demons he had just killed?
After a moment of thought, Lin Tianming recalled what Huayu Fei had told him.
She had guessed that there would be frequent activities by demons in the Imperial Capital recently, possibly due to collusion between someone inside the capital and the demons from the Land of Calamity.
Remembering Huayu Fei's suspicion, Lin Tianming, unable to determine the levels of the man and woman, took out his phone and sent a message to Huayu Fei, who was investigating the matter.
After sending the message, Lin Tianming put away his phone.
This time, only Lin Tianming noticed the strangeness of the man and woman.
Yongyu and Chu Yunfei didn't find anything unusual about them.
After searching for a while and not finding what they were looking for, the man and woman distanced themselves from Lin Tianming's group.
"Did you see those three awakened ones over there? In five stops, it will be the Imperial Capital Academy station. I suspect they are students from the academy, and the three we were supposed to meet were killed by the level 29 student among them!"
"To think a few youngsters could ruin our plans. It’s infuriating! Those three may have been low-level, but they had important tasks. Now they’re dead!"
"What should we do now?"
"The demonic aura lingers here. Of course, we should kill them. When the Awakened Corps investigates, they won't trace it back to us! The thought of them ruining our plan makes me furious. They can’t leave here alive!"
