Chapter 270: Chapter 268: Lan Ba discovers Lin Tianming trying to steal a chicken! Get out here, you thief!

While Lan Ba’s attention was fully on the group attacking him, Lin Tianming began to silently implement his plan of taking all the Ocean Crystals.

"I hope these guys can take a beating for a longer time, and not get knocked down by senior Lan Ba so easily..."

Muttering under his breath and maintaining Spiritualization the whole time, Lin Tianming gradually collected the Ocean Crystals.

He had to keep his movements minimal; collecting too many Ocean Crystals at once would likely expose him prematurely.

During the collection process, Lin Tianming also kept an eye on Lan Ba’s battle situation.

"Don’t hold back! This guy is Level 40; if anyone holds back and we can’t defeat him later, our Ocean Crystals might be taken by him!"

"Since we’ve already started fighting, don’t be lazy or think about saving some energy to claim more Ocean Crystals after defeating Lan Ba; you might end up with nothing!"

The people attacking Lan Ba had their own agendas; some thought about exerting less effort now so they could claim more Ocean Crystals later.

Those who held back in hopes of conserving energy were quickly discovered and sharply criticized by others.

Moreover, under Lan Ba’s pressure, the ones holding back realized they were on the brink of defeat.

Since the fight had already begun, if they lost, they would inevitably have all their Ocean Crystals taken away.

Thanks to the trial rules, at least they wouldn’t die.

They didn’t want to not only lose acquiring the Ocean Crystals in this area but also have to forfeit the ones they had previously collected.

Thinking of this, the few who were holding back steeled their hearts and decided to give it their all to jointly defeat Lan Ba.

"Let’s go all out! I don’t believe he can turn the tide on his own!"

"Lan Ba, I admit you’re strong, but we are not much weaker than you. You chose to face us all at once and that has sealed your defeat!"

"I can enhance everyone’s attack with a group power boost Skill! Everyone, charge! Defeat Lan Ba and all the Ocean Crystals here and Lan Ba’s will be ours!"

Now that the few who held back were also giving their all, even Lan Ba, who initially felt relaxed, felt some pressure and frowned.

Especially since these people had someone who could enhance group power, it continuously boosted their strength, making it hard for him to break free momentarily.

But even so, in Lan Ba’s view, he was still in an invincible position; it would just take a bit longer to deal with these foolish people.

On the side, Lin Tianming, who was stealthily collecting Ocean Crystals while watching Lan Ba’s battle, was ecstatic.

"Yes... just like that! Fight hard! Don’t hold back. The more desperately you fight and the longer you draw it out, the more you will contribute to me taking all the Ocean Crystals!"

In fact, Lin Tianming had also observed that even if these people really gave their all, they weren’t a match for Lan Ba, the top third-year student at the Imperial Academy.

But even if they couldn’t win, they could still give him enough time to swipe all the Ocean Crystals.

The happier they fought, the more delighted he became!

Cheering for them to keep Lan Ba occupied, Lin Tianming continued playing his game of collecting Ocean Crystals, tossing them zealously into his Storage Space.

Unbeknownst to all, during the fierce battle with Lan Ba, Lin Tianming had already quietly collected most of the Ocean Crystals in the area.

This area had the most Ocean Crystals out of all the regions Lin Tianming had raided so far.

"With this haul, I should be set for first place in the Underwater Mechanical Dragon Palace, right?"

With an unstoppable smile of triumph, Lin Tianming noticed that Lan Ba was already dominating and would soon end the battle, so he hastened his own collection speed.

"Just need a bit more time to finish collecting, give it your all and hold on for a while longer! Use any trump cards you have left!"

Whether they heard Lin Tianming’s cheering or not, the Awakeners who were group-attacking Lan Ba refused to easily concede defeat to him and surrender the Ocean Crystals they had collected through great hardships.

"It seems I have no choice but to use this move! Lan Ba, let me show you how strong I am with my final trump card!"

"I’m also forced into a corner now, to protect my Ocean Crystals, I have to use my last trump card too!"

"Everyone else, if you have any trump cards left, now is the time to use them! If you keep hiding your moves and we lose, both your and my Ocean Crystals will end up adorning Lan Ba! After that, injured as we’ll be, collecting Ocean Crystals will be even more difficult, and there’s a high chance we’ll be completely eliminated in this third round of the Sea Emperor Festival!"

Lan Ba was about to win and sweep up all the Ocean Crystals here. Seeing this group struggling in their last throes and using their final trump cards, his expression became somewhat solemn.

Contrary to Lan Ba’s solemn expression, the spiritualized Lin Tianming was practically bursting with joy.

"Well taught, keep it up. Each Ocean Crystal I’ve collected bears your efforts too!"

During the final showdown of that group of Awakeners using their last trump cards against Lan Ba, Lin Tianming finally completed his collection of all the Ocean Crystals in the area.

Mission accomplished!

After scanning the large hall which he’d emptied and noting there were no other treasures worth his attention, Lin Tianming decided to leave.

"Ah! He...he’s too powerful! This monster... truly the number one third-year student of Great Emperor Academy, Lan Ba. So many of us, nearly equal in levels, united and using all our trump cards, still lost!"

"It’s over! Our attempt to fight for this area’s Ocean Crystals failed, and now even the Ocean Crystals I originally collected will end up adorning someone else!"

"Is this the terrifying combat power of the number one third-year student at Great Emperor Academy? No wonder, Great Emperor Academy is the top-ranked school in Jiuzhou. I should have left at the first opportunity, not end up empty-handed like this!"

Watching this group being greedy and getting crushed by Lan Ba’s powerful assault, Lin Tianming took advantage of Lan Ba’s distraction, when he hadn’t noticed that all the Ocean Crystals from this area were secretly taken by him, and quietly headed toward one of the exit passages in his spiritualized state.

However, just as he was halfway there, Lan Ba’s thunderous voice filled the air.

"Who is it? Who dared steal all the Ocean Crystals from this area while I was fighting these people!"

Hearing Lan Ba’s voice, Lin Tianming’s heart skipped a beat.

The next moment, before he could escape the area, Lan Ba’s roar nearly made him lose his focus.

"Come out, you thief who steals when others are unguarded!"

Under the sudden roar of Lan Ba, Lin Tianming quickly materialized his True Body.

Caught!

Just as Lin Tianming inwardly sighed in dismay, Lan Ba had already locked onto Lin Tianming’s figure.

When Lan Ba recognized that it was Lin Tianming who had taken all the Ocean Crystals right under his nose, he also showed a look of shock.

"It’s you!"

Being recognized by Lan Ba, Lin Tianming quickly regained his composure, turned around with a smile, and looked at Lan Ba.

"Hello, senior Lan Ba, our cooperation this time was quite pleasant. The Ocean Crystals from these people are yours, and the Ocean Crystals from this hall are mine. Clear division of labor, isn’t it great?"
