Global Awakening SSS-Rank: Hearing the Beauty’s Heart

Chapter 148: Manipulating Shadows? Interesting! Let Me Copy It and Play!

The shadow that originally belonged to Lin Tianming detached from the ground, twisted, and expanded into a giant shadow mouth, attempting to devour Lin Tianming.

Even without Ye Qingxue's warning, Lin Tianming wouldn’t just sit there and wait to be eaten.

Spirit Conversion!

He immediately transformed into a spiritual form, trying to avoid the shadow's devouring attack as he had evaded the fire dragon’s breath earlier.

The Yellow Dress Sect member controlling Lin Tianming's shadow saw him transform into a spiritual form and laughed maniacally.

“Your ability to turn into a spirit is quite rare, but doing so under my attack will only make you die faster!”

As the Yellow Dress Sect member said, Lin Tianming found himself still locked on by his own shadow.

The abyss-like shadow mouth didn't lose sight of Lin Tianming and directly attacked his spiritual form.

Under the worried gaze of Ye Qingxue, Lin Tianming in his soul form was instantly swallowed by his own shadow.

“Hahaha, a mere level 18 Awakened One dares to boast in front of high-level Awakened Ones? This is the consequence, becoming the nourishment for your own shadow!”

Unable to believe that Lin Tianming died right in front of her, Ye Qingxue was deeply regretful and blamed herself for being careless and not protecting Lin Tianming well.

She had brought Lin Tianming along to let him see the world outside the greenhouse of the Imperial University of the Great Emperor.

In her view, even though Lin Tianming had the talent to replicate super forbidden spell-level skills despite his low level, he was still very lacking in actual combat experience.

With her rich experience, she believed that Lin Tianming would grow in his ability to handle various combat situations under her leadership.

Unexpectedly, what she thought would be a risk-free investigation of the Yellow Dress Sect’s stronghold turned into the burial place of her most promising junior, Lin Tianming.

Her negligence had caused an irreparable mistake.

If she had kept Lin Tianming closer to her, such a life-threatening danger would not have occurred!

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxue was filled with immense guilt, unsure of how to face Lin Tianming's teacher, Jiang Han.

The two Yellow Dress Sect members, after dealing with Lin Tianming, turned their malicious gazes towards Ye Qingxue.

“Next, it's your turn. You're quite good-looking and have reached level 80. How about we turn you into one of our own?”

“Little beauty, don’t struggle too much. I’d hate to scar your beautiful face, hahaha!”

Pulled back to reality from her deep guilt by the words of the two Yellow Dress Sect members, the sorrow in Ye Qingxue's heart turned into raging anger.

“You... will all die with him!”

Flower Burial of the Heavens!

Although they were all level 80 Awakened Ones, the two Yellow Dress Sect members were horrified to find themselves suddenly immobile, unable even to use their skills.

The entire space was filled with beautiful, dazzling petals, each containing infinite killing intent.

“If I had attacked directly earlier... Junior Lin Tianming wouldn't have died... It’s all my fault...”

Muttering self-reproaching words, Ye Qingxue, in her rage, prepared to bury the two Yellow Dress Sect members with countless petals. She then heard Lin Tianming’s voice, unsure if it was an illusion.

“Sister Ye, don’t be in such a rush to find people to bury with me. Quickly stop your indiscriminate area attack!”

From the shadows, Lin Tianming, who was not dead, revealed himself.

He had just wanted to disappear for a moment to study which skill to replicate would be more fun.

He didn’t expect Ye Qingxue to think he was dead and wanted to give the two Yellow Dress Sect members the most dazzling flower burial.

This skill covered the entire area, causing him to get hurt even while hiding in spiritual form.

With no other choice, Lin Tianming had to come out and stop her.

Seeing Lin Tianming manifest in front of her, Ye Qingxue realized it wasn't an illusion—he was indeed alive.

She quickly narrowed the range of her Flower Burial of the Heavens, allowing Lin Tianming to escape the danger.

“Junior Lin Tianming, it's good that you're alive. You still lack actual combat experience. Let me handle this next. I’ll kill them to avenge you!”

Hearing Ye Qingxue’s still-angry voice, Lin Tianming realized that this flower fairy-like beautiful senior sister wasn’t easy to deal with when angry.

However, Lin Tianming didn't want her to kill the interesting toys he had just encountered.

“Sister Ye, leave them to me. I didn't come here for nothing!”

Hearing that Lin Tianming wanted to continue, Ye Qingxue, who had been scared earlier, hesitated: “But you almost...”

“Don’t worry, Sister Ye, I can handle it this time. You can keep a close watch, and if there’s any sign of danger, you can step in and kill them both!”

Seeing Lin Tianming's determination, Ye Qingxue reluctantly withdrew her killing move, Flower Burial of the Heavens.

The two Yellow Dress Sect members, thinking they were doomed, were surprised when Ye Qingxue actually listened to Lin Tianming and released them.

Having been nearly killed by the floating petals, they directed their anger at Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming dared to treat them as toys, and they would make him regret underestimating them.

“Brat, you think you can toy with us? You’re not qualified! Fire Dragon’s Breath!”

The fire-attribute Yellow Dress Sect member immediately launched an 80-level Fire Dragon’s Breath attack.

The other shadow-controlling Yellow Dress Sect member, with killing intent, again manipulated Lin Tianming's shadow, trying to swallow him whole.

“Drown in your own shadow, foolish brat!”

Watching the combined attack of the two 80-level Yellow Dress Sect members, Ye Qingxue stayed alert, ready to step in if Lin Tianming faltered.

Under her worried gaze, Lin Tianming wore an extremely confident smile.

“Manipulating shadows, huh? It's been a while since I encountered such an interesting ability. My toy, let me play with it!”

As he spoke, an aura similar to that of the shadow-controlling Yellow Dress Sect member emanated from Lin Tianming.

Immediately, the shadows beneath the two Yellow Dress Sect members extended infinitely, detaching from the ground and surrounding walls, transforming into two massive shadow monsters.

Moreover, the two shadow monsters condensed by Lin Tianming emitted an aura much stronger than the 80-level Yellow Dress Sect members themselves.

The shadow-controlling Yellow Dress Sect member was in disbelief.

“How... how is this possible? You... you can also manipulate shadows? And why do your shadows feel... stronger than mine?”

Facing the Yellow Dress Sect member’s question, Lin Tianming’s smile widened.

“Disperse their attacks!”

Following Lin Tianming’s command, the two massive shadow monsters swung their enormous fists, smashing towards the incoming fire dragon and shadow mouth.

With the added power from Lin Tianming's Divine Hand, the shadow monsters' fists instantly shattered the fire dragon and shadow mouth, continuing with unstoppable force towards the two terrified Yellow Dress Sect members.
