Chapter 272: Chapter 270 A Familiar Scene! Qingxue in Fierce Battle with Lianghua! Thankfully, Tianming Saves the Day Just in Time!

Despite feeling quite annoyed, Lan Ba, who is true to his word, still let Lin Tianming, who had won the promise of being spared three moves, leave.

Once Lin Tianming had disappeared from his view, Lan Ba noticed that the group of onlooking Awakeners also wanted to sneak away, and he certainly wouldn’t agree to that.

Previously, Lin Tianming had performed a trick right under his nose, smoothly taking away all the Ocean Crystals, so Lan Ba was extra cautious this time.

At the very least, these fellows who had just attacked him won’t be leaving without turning over all their Ocean Crystals!

"Think you can run? Can you really escape? When I just let you leave, you didn’t, and because of that, I lost so many Ocean Crystals. You think you can leave without handing over all of your Ocean Crystals to compensate me? No way!"

Along with Lan Ba’s furious shout, the entire hall echoed with the desperate screams of a group of Awakeners.

"Don’t... don’t hit me! I’ll give... I’ll give them up!"

"I’ll give them up too! Ow... it hurts to death, I already said I’ll give them up, why are you still hitting me?"

"Brother Lan Ba... Uncle Lan Ba! All the Ocean Crystals I collected are here... really, there’s nothing left, stop... stop searching me!"

Lin Tianming, who had already left the hall, was laughing his head off at the cries of agony coming from behind.

"Sure enough, coming up with some interesting ideas on the fly to have fun is the best. Thanks for the hard work, my great contributors. You all have a good time playing with Senior Lan Ba, letting him vent is quite good!"

Subsequently, the pleased Lin Tianming continued to swiftly make his way through the Underwater Mechanical Dragon Palace.

But since encountering the first group of people earlier, Lin Tianming found that the areas he scoured subsequently had mostly been visited already, with the Ocean Crystals also largely plundered.

Even if there were any left, it was just a small part that hadn’t been scavenged, hidden in secret corners.

Moreover, the number of people he encountered was increasing.

Lin Tianming didn’t choose to show himself. He maintained his Spiritualized form, moving through the Underwater Mechanical Dragon Palace.

Although the Ocean Crystals he scavenged now were much less than when he hadn’t encountered anyone at the beginning, the accumulative count was still quite significant.

"Holy smokes! You two ladies... stop fighting each other!"

"Fighting is one thing, but don’t injure the innocent! Aren’t we all friends of Brother Tianming? Let’s quickly settle this and reconcile!"

"Hey, hey, hey! That ice spike almost turned me into a sieve! Be careful there!"

Suddenly, a very familiar voice reached Lin Tianming, causing him to frown.

"Isn’t this voice Meng Jiang, Xiyue’s brother?"

Following the direction of the voice, Lin Tianming quickly found Meng Jiang and also clearly saw who the two people mentioned by Meng Jiang, who were fiercely fighting, were.

Aren’t they Lianghua and Ye Qingxue?

Seeing the two of them fighting, Lin Tianming always felt a sense of déjà vu.

Previously in the Ice and Snow Secret Realm, Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan also fought fiercely, resulting in both of them being injured.

This time, his little girlfriend Qingxue is fighting with Lianghua...

[Spirit Manipulation Forbidden Technique—Heavenly Illusion Dance!]

[Divine Domain Skill—Destructive Ice Wheel Dance!]

The fight between the two became increasingly vicious; while delicately shouting at the bottom of their hearts, they also released their respective Divine Domain Skills.

To prevent the two of them from really being injured to the point of immobility, Lin Tianming also took the opportunity to make a move while they were both unaware of him.

Soul Capture!

Completely unprepared, Ye Qingxue and Lianghua, whose nerves were highly tense, were immediately provoked by Lin Tianming’s technique, causing their Divine Souls to be agitated.

The next moment, Lin Tianming also revealed his True Body and forcefully separated Ye Qingxue and Lianghua.

Meng Jiang was somewhat stunned to see Lin Tianming suddenly appearing.

But in the next second, Meng Jiang showed a look of delight.

"Brother Tianming, it’s about time you showed up! If you hadn’t come, these two would really be fighting until the end of time!"

Lin Tianming nodded slightly to Meng Jiang, acknowledging the brother of Xiyue.

Then he said to Ye Qingxue and Lianghua, "What’s going on with you two? Why did you start fighting?"

"We were just sparring to see who’s stronger, Brother Tianming!"

Ye Qingxue poked her little fingers together guiltily.

[I can’t let Brother Tianming know that I got mad as soon as I saw this bad woman and was the first to strike!]

[What if he stops liking me because of this?]

Ye Qingxue’s anxious thoughts inadvertently revealed the truth to Lin Tianming.

However, Lin Tianming did not plan to call out her sparring lie.

"When sparring, you two should also be careful not to be so hard on each other. It’s fortunate that I arrived in time. You’ve both avoided injuries. Don’t do this again, understand?"

"We understand, Brother Tianming..."

"Mm, Brother Ming..."

Thankfully, after Lin Tianming intervened, both Ye Qingxue and Lianghua calmed down and did not continue to fight.

Having successfully prevented a battle that could have had serious consequences, Lin Tianming let out a sigh of relief.

"How’s your collection of Ocean Crystals going?"

Faced with Lin Tianming’s question, Ye Qingxue spoke first: "I’ve collected a lot on my own! Just now, a few clueless fools thought they could rob me because I was alone. They couldn’t beat me, and ended up giving me all the Ocean Crystals they had gathered!"

"I’ve had the same experience, Brother Ming. I’ve come across quite a few people trying to snatch my Ocean Crystals recently, so I just took theirs too."

Lianghua had been very successful as well; even when people tried to steal her Ocean Crystals, she handled them with ease.

Only the brother of Meng Xiyue, Meng Jiang, had a gloomy expression: "I’ve also collected Ocean Crystals, but not many."

Hearing this, Lin Tianming gave a slight smile: "Doing your best is what counts. In this third round, so many people fought over Ocean Crystals that many returned empty-handed. The fact you still have some is already quite good. Regardless of whether you advance to the next round or not, you will at least have these Ocean Crystals as a reward when you leave."

"That’s the only consolation I have. Now I realize that making it to this third round is already my limit. I’m satisfied just to follow you all and not have my Ocean Crystals stolen. I’m not concerned about advancing to the next round."

Seeing Meng Jiang’s mentality and that he didn’t ask them to help rob Ocean Crystals from others, Lin Tianming appreciated Xiyue’s cheerful big brother even more.

Meng Jiang, despite being a bit silly, still had a pretty good personality.

Together with Ye Qingxue and others, they reconvened at the Underwater Mechanical Dragon Palace, and Lin Tianming continued to lead them in the seven-day trial, doing their utmost to search for more Ocean Crystals.

Whenever they encountered someone foolish, Lin Tianming didn’t mind giving those folks a lesson in manners.

It was clear that those people thought that the first two challenges weren’t about comparing combat power, and that just because Lin Tianming had impressed the audience with his Talent, it didn’t mean his actual Combat Power was strong.

In the third challenge that came down to real combat, Lin Tianming, who had yet to reach Level 30, would surely be no match for them.

But reality was harsh. Anyone who entertained this thought was brutally beaten by Lin Tianming’s armed escort.

Meng Jiang, Xiyue’s big brother, also earned more Ocean Crystals than he could ever dream of while hitching a ride with the convoy, grinning from ear to ear.

Fortunately, he had listened to his sister Meng Xiyue’s advice and followed Lin Tianming, whom his sister knew. It was indeed the right choice!
