Chapter 249: Chapter 247: Ye Qingxue Takes Lin Tianming Across the Sea! Unconvinced? Then Beat Them into Submission!

With the announcement of the opening of the Sea Emperor Festival by the host, everyone along the coastline was abuzz.

"What a joke? They want us to climb that Sea Emperor Tower, far from the coastline, in the middle of the sea? There isn’t even a single boat, surely they’re not expecting us to swim across, right?"

"This distance is so far, just swimming over would eliminate a big part of the crowd! Is the Sea Emperor Festival this difficult from day one? I was hoping to make a comeback at this festival, but it seems there’s no chance now!"

"How are we supposed to play this? We’re all low-level Awakeners between Levels 25 to 40... Does it have to be this hard right from the start?"

Lin Tianming heard all these discussions from the people nearby.

He actually didn’t think it was that difficult—he could simply take out the Dawn Wings and turn into an ice-blue butterfly to fly over smoothly.

However, Lin Tianming didn’t want to expose the Divine Artifact so early. He was thinking of another way to cross the sea without drawing attention.

"Tianming, Qingxue, the Sea Emperor Festival has already started. If you’re ready, head straight to climb the Sea Emperor Tower. I’ll be waiting here to hear the good news of your successful ascent!"

At this time, Tianshui also reminded Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue that they could now go climb the Sea Emperor Tower.

Ye Qingxue nodded, "Brother Tianming, follow me. I’ll take you across the sea directly. That thing you got in the Secret Realm, I suggest you still keep it under wraps for now!"

Hearing Ye Qingxue’s suggestion, which matched his own thoughts, Lin Tianming nodded slightly, deciding to leave the task of crossing the sea to Ye Qingxue.

"Okay, Qingxue, let’s go!"

When Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue decided to cross the sea, there were already many people who couldn’t wait to try and make their way to the Sea Emperor Tower.

Watching those people actually try to swim slowly across, Lin Tianming really admired them, but still couldn’t help laughing out loud.

"Brother Tianming, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, Qingxue. We just need to reach the top of the Sea Emperor Tower to succeed. We don’t have to rush. If we can be the first, then great; if not, it’s not a big deal. Just be careful not to show off and use up most of your energy on crossing the sea before even starting to climb the Tower."

Lin Tianming didn’t tell Ye Qingxue what he found funny, but he still reminded her to be mindful of her energy control.

In fact, without Lin Tianming’s reminder, Ye Qingxue, who had participated in the Sea Emperor Festival in her previous life, knew that the real challenge lay in the Tower itself.

However, Lin Tianming’s reminder made her feel his care, and her heart sweetened.

[Brother Tianming cares so much for me!]

"Don’t worry, Brother Tianming, Qingxue has a sense of measure!"

Casually walking to the edge of the coast, Ye Qingxue’s body suddenly surged with Extreme Ice Power that could freeze everything.

Then, the beach nearby began to freeze up, starting from her as the center.

With eyes glowing an icy blue, Ye Qingxue’s each subsequent step left behind an Ice Lotus, forming an Ice Sealed Road that froze the surrounding seawater.

"All right, Brother Tianming, let’s cross the sea!"

Faced with Ye Qingxue’s invitation, Lin Tianming, who did not want to expose his Divine Artifact on the first day, stepped onto the Ice Sealed Road created by Ye Qingxue.

Together, side by side, they walked with a steady and unhurried pace, slowly leaving the coastline and heading towards the Sea Emperor Tower deep in the sea.

Soon, people noticed the way this couple, Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue, were directly walking on the sea surface to cross it.

"Look over there, some people have already traveled a significant distance away from the coast!"

"It’s that girl who’s using her Ice Attribute Superpower to freeze the nearby seawater, forming the Ice Sealed Road! The guy is being led by her!"

"Darn it! Can you really do that? Even the sporadic waves can be frozen solid, creating a walkable ice road. That girl’s control over Ice Attribute Superpower must be at a high level. That guy doesn’t even know how to cross the sea. That’s not fair, I’m reporting someone for cheating!"

Soon, some people started complaining loudly because of Lin Tianming taking advantage of the situation.

Quickly, the person presiding over the Sea Emperor Festival said, "This is within the reasonable rules of the Sea Emperor Festival. It’s allowed for participants of the Sea Emperor Festival to accompany each other on the first day of the event."

On hearing what the festival’s presiding person said, many who had swum in the sea for half a day and had to give up felt numbed.

"Allowing companionship? Why wasn’t this said earlier? If I had known, I would have found someone capable of crossing the sea to bring me along!"

"Exactly! I’m totally exhausted and now you tell me, even if someone brought me to the Sea Emperor Tower, I couldn’t climb it at all!"

"I think this rule is clearly made up on the spot to protect that guy!"

Hearing the complaints, the person in charge of the Sea Emperor Festival immediately burst out with the imposing aura of a Top Awakened.

"Do you have a problem with me?"

The people on the shoreline felt the presider’s overwhelming aura and were immediately scared into silence.

At this moment, from a distance away from the shoreline, a loud voice called out.

"May I ask, during the process of climbing the Sea Emperor Tower, is it permissible for participants of the festival to fight each other?"

Upon hearing this question, the presider of the festival responded, "It’s allowed, but mortal combat is forbidden. The essence of this Sea Emperor Festival is to cultivate Awakener talents for Jiuzhou through trials."

Tianshui, who had been watching from the shoreline, muttered to herself after hearing the presider’s response.

"Little Brother Tianming might be in trouble, someone is challenging him..."

Just as Tianshui predicted, the person who had asked the question received a clear answer and immediately set off towards Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue, stepping on endlessly extending vines.

"Brat! Even if someone brought you across the sea, with your ability, it’s certain you won’t reach the top of the Sea Emperor Tower. What I dislike the most is people like you, get eliminated right now!"

[Dare to look down on my Brother Tianming? You’re asking for it!]

When Ye Qingxue heard the man belittling her Brother Tianming, she immediately prepared to strike back in defense of Lin Tianming.

But Lin Tianming stopped her, "You keep maintaining the Ice Sealed Road, don’t get distracted. I can handle this person."

Hearing Lin Tianming’s words, Ye Qingxue, who was full of confidence in her Brother Tianming’s strength, continued to maintain the Ice Sealed Road.

"Kid! You do have some guts, pity that guts can’t fill your stomach. Go drink seawater!"

The man manipulated several vines, whipping them towards Lin Tianming, trying to knock him directly into the water.

Facing the vine attacks, Lin Tianming’s body erupted with the silvery gleam of Mechanical Ascension.

Concentrating the terrifying Thunder Power in his right fist, Lin Tianming instantly launched a Thunder Fist Seal.

Boom!

In front of all the onlookers who couldn’t believe what they were seeing, Lin Tianming’s Thunder Fist crushed through the vines, turning them to charred waste that fell into the sea, and continued to strike towards the person who had looked down on Lin Tianming.

Accompanied by a scream and a splash, the Wood Attribute Superpower Awakened who could have successfully crossed the sea and climbed the Sea Emperor Tower on his own was eliminated on the spot for provoking Lin Tianming.

This shocking scene left those who were crossing the sea, as well as those who had already given up on the shoreline, speechless for a moment.

This young man who crossed the sea with Ye Qingxue’s help turned out to be so strong!
