Chapter 201: Chapter 199: A Challenge After a Semester! Lei Dong is knocked out with a roll of his eyes! Lin Tianming is even stronger!

"That’s the situation, Senior Hua. It was that greedy rice cake stall owner who provoked Yiyi to such an extent that he ended up dying in the black fog!"

At Hua Yufei’s home over dinner, Lin Tianming told her all about how Huang Yiyi lost control of her emotions and how the black fog ended up killing the unscrupulous rice cake stall owner.

After understanding the situation, Hua Yufei pondered for a moment and then said, "I understand. I’ll take care of this matter properly and ensure that no one takes Yiyi away."

With Hua Yufei’s assurance, Lin Tianming was no longer worried about the Awakening Battle Group or other major powers coming to capture Huang Yiyi.

Huang Yiyi herself felt somewhat guilty, apologizing, "Sorry, I’ve caused trouble again..."

Lin Tianming didn’t think Huang Yiyi was at fault: "You have no need to apologize. It was the rice cake stall owner who was greedy. Dying in the black fog served him right!"

"Yes, don’t overthink it. I’ll handle this matter. No one will come looking for trouble, Yiyi."

Hua Yufei echoed Lin Tianming’s words, jointly soothing Huang Yiyi’s emotions.

Now, no one in Jiuzhou could contend with Huang Yiyi. If anyone did cause her trouble and provoked the release of the black fog, it would just result in more deaths.

The best approach would be to have Huang Yiyi stay here with her, trying to avoid any further provocations and thereby minimizing the potential for casualties.

At this moment, Lin Tianming also said, "Yiyi, don’t think too much about it. Enjoy the meal, don’t let Senior Hua’s hard work on this wonderful dinner go to waste!"

Under the comfort provided by Lin Tianming and Hua Yufei, Huang Yiyi stopped dwelling on the issue and joined them to eat heartily.

After dinner, Lin Tianming returned to the Imperial Academy.

"Hey, isn’t that Tianming? Brother Tianming, I was just thinking about finding you to go out for a meal together!"

Just as Lin Tianming arrived back at the campus of the Imperial Academy, he heard a familiar voice nearby.

He looked carefully and saw his roommate Chu Yunfei rushing towards him.

After having his fill at Hua Yufei’s, he said, "Brother Yunfei, I’ve already had dinner, and I’m pretty full. Let’s go out to eat together next time!"

"It’s not just about eating when brothers get together for a meal. It’s about connecting. Eating is secondary. Even if you are full, we can still go out and sit somewhere, eat a little something, and have a chat!"

Chu Yunfei, with his arm around Lin Tianming’s shoulder, persuaded Lin Tianming to go out with him for a night on the town.

Lin Tianming hesitated but eventually agreed, "Alright then, where shall we go tonight?"

"Let’s still go to Tianhui Square. There are many popular places there we haven’t tried yet! Tonight, I’ll take you to a place famous for its spicy kidneys."

Just as Lin Tianming and Chu Yunfei were making plans to enjoy their night at Tianhui Square, Lin Tianming was stopped by an unfriendly voice.

"Lin Tianming, wait a moment!"

That voice... it sounded like Lei Dong, who had lost to him before?

Looking in the direction of the voice, just as Lin Tianming had thought, Lei Dong approached him with a menacing presence.

Upon seeing Lei Dong, Chu Yunfei also whispered to Lin Tianming, "Oh man! Tianming, isn’t that the senior Lei Dong who challenged you to a duel last semester?"

Lin Tianming wasn’t afraid of any trouble from Lei Dong and calmly said, "Senior Lei Dong, we haven’t seen each other for almost a semester. May I know what brings you to me all of a sudden?"

"I challenge you, Lin Tianming!"

Lei Dong looked at Lin Tianming earnestly, his defeat at the start of the last semester had been gnawing at him until now.

After spending an entire semester lying low, he had broken through to Level 31 in a significant leap.

Every time an Awakener reached milestones like Level 20 or Level 30, their power would undergo a transformation, a much greater increase than ordinary level-ups.

He believed that now, having broken through to Level 31, he could definitely wash away the shame of his defeat to Lin Tianming.

"Can’t you have some shame, Lei Dong? It’s just bullying for a sophomore to fight a freshman. You lost last semester, let it go. Now you’re Level 31, having crossed the significant power gap of Level 30, and you’re looking to duel with Lin Tianming—it’s too much!"

Before Lin Tianming could accept Lei Dong’s challenge and give the itch-for-a-fight Lei Dong a thrashing, another acquaintance approached nearby to speak out on his behalf.

The person who came was Wang Jian, Wang Yanran’s cousin.

Lin Tianming was somewhat surprised; this Wang Jian, whom he had also beaten up before, was actually taking his side.

Even though Wang Yanran had advised him, at most Wang Jian wouldn’t clash with him, but it was unexpected that he would speak up for him.

Was it because last time he and Hua Yufei had wiped out the Yellow Clothes Church’s stronghold and coincidentally rescued the captured Wang Jian that Wang Jian felt grateful to him?

No matter the reason, Wang Jian’s behavior still slightly improved his image in Lin Tianming’s eyes.

"Wang Jian? If you can’t beat me, stop wasting your breath. This is a matter between Lin Tianming and me, it’s none of your business!"

Although Wang Jian couldn’t beat Lei Dong, after being so berated by Lei Dong, he decided he would intervene!

"Why can’t I intervene? My cousin Wang Yanran is still at the Imperial Academy. You think I won’t get her to teach you a lesson?"

Hearing the name Wang Yanran made Lei Dong’s expression drastically change: "You’re just relying on having a genius cousin. You’re nothing on your own. If you’re capable, don’t use your cousin!"

Just as Wang Jian was about to continue his verbal spat with Lei Dong, Lin Tianming patted him on the shoulder.

"I appreciate the kind intentions of Senior Wang Jian. Since Senior Lei Dong is so keen to spar with me again, I’ll gladly accept."

Hearing Lin Tianming actually accepted, Wang Jian didn’t care that Lin Tianming might get beaten black and blue by Lei Dong.

But he was afraid that if his cousin Wang Yanran found out he was present and didn’t try to stop the fight, she would blame him for instigating trouble!

After all, to Wang Jian, Lin Tianming appeared to have some vague and indistinct relationship with his cousin.

Perhaps one day he’ll suddenly have a cousin-in-law!

In such a circumstance, Wang Jian decided to write off any previous grudges with Lin Tianming for good and maintain friendly relations.

"But the superpower strength increase at every ten levels is far more significant than the enhancement from one to nine. Lei Dong’s power now..."

"There’s no ’but’. If it’s a fight, then let’s fight. What’s there to be afraid of!"

Lin Tianming confidently accepted Lei Dong’s challenge before Wang Jian could finish his words of caution.

Lei Dong had been waiting for Lin Tianming to say just that.

The thought of finally being able to redeem his humiliation brought a smile to Lei Dong’s face.

Jiang Han, you refused my request to become your disciple and made me lose face. Today, I will beat up your student and make you regret not accepting me as your apprentice!

And you, Lin Tianming, this time you will definitely be defeated by my hands, Lei Dong!

With these thoughts screaming in his heart, Lei Dong couldn’t wait to thrash Lin Tianming.

"Since you’ve agreed, then come with me to the Wind Bell Arena; we’ll have our duel there!"

The news of the duel between Lin Tianming and Lei Dong was also observed by passing students nearby.

One by one, they were filled with curiosity, watching from the sidelines, discussing whether Lei Dong could redeem his previous loss and defeat the unbeaten myth, Lin Tianming.

However, Lin Tianming simply said: "There’s no need to go to the Wind Bell Arena. I’m in a hurry to get to Tianhui Square tonight to eat spicy kidney flowers. Let’s just fight here. I can take you down in one move."

His arrogant claim that he could defeat Lei Dong in one move completely infuriated Lei Dong.

"One move to knock me down? It seems you really underestimate me! You have no idea that Level 30 represents an insurmountable gap in Combat Power, not to mention that I’m Level 31 now. I’m going to let you..."

Before Lei Dong could finish his threat, Lin Tianming, eager to eat spicy kidney flowers, activated his Soul Capturing Skill.

In the next instant, Lei Dong, under the dumbfounded gaze of all the surrounding students, rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

Having just instantly knocked out Lei Dong, who didn’t even have time to return to his senses, Lin Tianming chuckled and patted the still dumbstruck Chu Yunfei on the shoulder.

"Let’s go, Yunfei! Let’s head to that place you mentioned to eat spicy kidney flowers. Oh, Senior Wang Jian, you should come too!"
