Chapter 169: Bitter Cultivation Until the Eve of Winter Vacation! Meng Xiyue is Returning to Beian Academy!

After recuperating for a day at Hua Yufei's house, although he was well taken care of by her and Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming left the next day.

Returning to the Imperial Capital's Great Emperor Academy, Lin Tianming resumed the rigorous training plan devised by Jiang Han.

With Ye Qingxue, his clingy little girlfriend, accompanying him, Lin Tianming didn’t find the intensifying training sessions too torturous.

He often saw Feng Lan and Ye Qingxue bickering, which was both a headache and amusing to him.

Wang Yanran also visited him during her breaks from cultivation. Over time, her desire to fight him had nearly vanished.

Meng Xiyue kept her promise to him, frequently coming to see his Blue Crystal Water Tiger cub.

Using the cub as a medium, Lin Tianming also worked to repair his relationship with Meng Xiyue.

Although he hadn’t completely won her over, she was no longer as irritable around him and had returned to her calm, courteous demeanor.

Lin Tianming also learned through Meng Xiyue's thoughts that she knew Huang Yiyi in their past lives.

Upon learning that even the god-like Meng Xiyue couldn’t kill Huang Yiyi, and that Huang Yiyi's power almost unconsciously killed her, Lin Tianming was even more grateful for making the right decision back then.

Huang Yiyi, the eerie deity, was still incredibly powerful even in the era of the three great Ascended Divine Kingdoms, something Lin Tianming hadn’t anticipated.

During this period, Lin Tianming made sure to visit Huang Yiyi and Hua Yufei whenever he could, checking if they had any more encounters with the Yellow Dress Church.

From Hua Yufei, he learned that the Yellow Dress Church had not bothered her since the Flash Ghost Bishop's team was destroyed by Jiang Han. This temporarily eased Lin Tianming’s worries about Hua Yufei's safety.

But Lin Tianming was convinced that the top-tier awakeners of the Yellow Dress Church weren’t limited to those he had encountered.

Through his interactions with Wang Yanran and Meng Xiyue, he learned from their thoughts that the Yellow Dress Church had many more members.

Not only had the Yellow Dress Church not attacked Hua Yufei again, but they also seemed to have vanished without a trace, leaving no trail even as various forces in the Imperial Capital searched for them.

Although Hua Yufei was temporarily safe, Lin Tianming remained wary of the Yellow Dress Church.

Carrying this vigilance, Lin Tianming continued his training at the Great Emperor Academy until just before winter vacation. By now, he had reached the twentieth level of his ability awakening, nearing the twenty-first level.

As Jiang Han's thoughts suggested, upon reaching level twenty, his capacity to store copied skills increased from four to five.

Jiang Han's insights had consistently proven accurate, and Lin Tianming now fully trusted Jiang Han’s previous life experience in developing the original owner’s God Hand ability.

Finishing today’s training, Lin Tianming felt he was even closer to breaking through to level twenty-one.

Even with winter vacation approaching, Lin Tianming was confident he would reach level twenty-one before it started.

Leaving the Thunder Awakening Grounds, Lin Tianming planned to have lunch with his little girlfriend, Ye Qingxue.

However, seeing no one waiting outside, he remembered that Ye Qingxue and Feng Lan had gone for secret training again.

Their reason was still the same: feeling pressured after Meng Xiyue was the first to reach level twenty, they didn’t want to lag behind and thus resumed their secret training.

Yesterday, when Ye Qingxue mentioned her secret training again, Lin Tianming learned from her thoughts that she couldn’t accept being surpassed by him and Meng Xiyue despite being the only reborn one.

Although he hadn’t interacted with Feng Lan, Lin Tianming believed her thoughts were likely similar to Ye Qingxue's.

"These goddess reborn ones are much like protagonists in reborn novels, thinking they are the only ones reborn and destined to dominate their peers and achieve invincibility!"

Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming, without his little girlfriend Ye Qingxue to accompany him, could only eat lunch alone and then return to the dormitory to be with his roommate Chu Yunfei.

However, on his way back to the dormitory, Lin Tianming encountered Meng Xiyue.

He was sure she was deliberately waiting for him.

“Xiyue, long time no see. I heard from Qingxue yesterday that she met you, and you’ve already reached level twenty. Congratulations!”

Meng Xiyue, rather than showing any attitude, responded calmly, “Lin Tianming, I’ve been in bitter cultivation to catch up after you pulled ahead by two levels. This is the result of my hard work.”

[I also retrieved a significant opportunity from my previous life that I had obtained much later, which helped me catch up!]

Hearing Meng Xiyue’s thoughts about retrieving another major opportunity, Lin Tianming was envious.

If only she had included him in this opportunity, he could grow even faster!

These goddess reborn ones, except for his little girlfriend Ye Qingxue, never shared their good fortunes with him.

Thinking about it, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but sigh internally, appreciating his little girlfriend Ye Qingxue's willingness to share significant opportunities with him.

“Xiyue, are you here to see my Blue Crystal Water Tiger again?”

As he spoke, Lin Tianming released his Blue Crystal Water Tiger.

Over time, the once wobbly little cub had grown considerably and could no longer comfortably sit on Lin Tianming's shoulder.

However, it was still a juvenile awakened beast, far from reaching the massive size of its mother, which was much larger than an average human.

The Blue Crystal Water Tiger’s rapid growth was greatly aided by Meng Xiyue, who frequently visited and provided rare awakened beast food that was hard to find.

For this, Lin Tianming was very grateful to this kind-hearted beast-taming goddess reborn.

Seeing Lin Tianming release the Blue Crystal Water Tiger, Meng Xiyue played with it.

After a while, Meng Xiyue, remembering her imminent departure, felt a bit melancholic.

[I can’t stay at the Great Emperor Academy in the Imperial Capital any longer. I’m still a student at Beian Academy, and I’ve already pushed the limit by staying here for a semester. My family and Beian Academy need me back in Beian City…]

[I’ll miss witnessing this adorable Blue Crystal Water Tiger's growth. It’s still in its juvenile phase, and I wonder if Lin Tianming, a novice, can take good care of this little cutie…]

[I have Jiang Han's contact information. I can remind Jiang Han to keep an eye on the Blue Crystal Water Tiger’s growth. It shouldn’t be neglected due to other ability training.]

Hearing Meng Xiyue’s thoughts about leaving, Lin Tianming was surprised.

Previously, he had hoped she would return to Beian Academy sooner.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Now, just as he was making progress in winning her over, she was leaving.

This long absence could hinder his already challenging efforts to win her over.

Though disappointed, Lin Tianming didn’t intend to persuade Meng Xiyue to stay.

He feigned ignorance and asked her a question.

“Xiyue, why do you seem a bit unhappy today?”

[This big jerk... He’s actually attentive enough to notice that I’m upset…]

Meng Xiyue, though not fully won over by Lin Tianming, no longer harbored intense hostility towards him.

Facing his question, she answered honestly, “I’m returning to Beian City this afternoon. From now on, you’ll have to take care of the Blue Crystal Water Tiger on your own.”
