REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC63: Spiritual Power Ascension is the Natural Nemesis of Demons!
Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Spiritual Power Ascension is the Natural Nemesis of Demons!
Staring at Lin Tianming, whose body was swirling with the tremendous power of Spiritual Power Ascension, Ye Qingxue went from worried to dumbstruck.
[Brother Tianming didn't use this move when we were sparring this morning, his soul power seems a bit special. Even though demons are adept at targeting human awakeners' souls, he can actually counterattack and suppress the demon's soul power attacks...]
[It seems I worried too much, Brother Tianming has this special soul power that naturally suppresses demons, it's like he was born to combat demons!]
At this moment, the Spiritual Power Storm raging around Lin Tianming was several times stronger than it had been under Teacher Jiang Han's intensive training. The storm, transformed by spiritual power, was as ferocious as a tornado, emitting a terrifying energy that could annihilate the soul.
Go!
As Lin Tianming's thoughts shifted, the Spiritual Power Storm, which surged in power when battling demons, explosively rushed towards the man in black.
The man in black had just proclaimed that Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue must either join him or die.
Now, his eyes were filled only with limitless fear of his natural nemesis.
He turned to try to flee the scene, but found himself unable to escape even a half step due to the strong pull of the Spiritual Power Storm, and was slowly being drawn closer to it.
The Spiritual Power Storm was already swiftly attacking him, and him moving closer only hastened his destruction.
"No! I... I finally found a body to sneak in... haven't even tasted the delicious, high-quality souls of human awakeners yet... I... Ah!"
Accompanied by a ghastly wail, as resentful as a vengeful ghost, the man imbued with demonic Qi was reduced to ashes in Lin Tianming's Spiritual Power Storm.
Was this Spiritual Power Storm a bit... too outrageously powerful against demons?
After witnessing the formidable power of the Spiritual Power Storm that could reduce a demon into ashes, Lin Tianming was also shocked.
After a brief shock, Lin Tianming showed a hint of joy.
The power of the Spiritual Power Ascension significantly increases when facing demons, which was good news for him!
"Brother Tianming, are you hurt?"
Hearing Ye Qingxue's concerned words, Lin Tianming also looked at her and said, "No injuries, just lacked experience with demons at the start and used the wrong move. I didn't expect it to fear my Spirit Body Spark and Spiritual Power Storm so much!"
Ye Qingxue muttered to herself: "Was that tornado made from soul power called Spiritual Power Storm?"
Lin Tianming teased: "Right, why, do you want to learn it?"
Ye Qingxue felt he was teasing her on purpose, and she coquettishly rolled her eyes at him.
"I would like to learn, but I have an Ice Attribute Superpower Talent, I can't learn your special skill, you think everyone can Duplicate like you!"
"Alright, Qingxue, we shouldn't stay here long, let's head back to the Great Emperor Academy soon, and report the incident involving people contaminated with demons!"
"Mm, I really didn't expect the Imperial City, being the center of Jiuzhou with the strictest defense measures in all Jiuzhou, to still have demons infiltrating from the Land of Calamity. I think this matter is suspicious, it's better to return to the Great Emperor Academy sooner!"
Ye Qingxue deeply agreed with Lin Tianming's point of view, and she was no longer in the mood to wander around this chaotic place.
As Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue decided to leave, in a nearby building, a man also tainted with demonic Qi was intently watching their departing figures.
His main focus was still on Lin Tianming.
Lin Tianming had clearly seen how he had used the Spiritual Power Ascension to kill the man in black.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent and wariness towards Lin Tianming, and the man really wanted to kill Lin Tianming right there and then.
However, due to various reasons and his own caution, he restrained himself from acting impulsively and turned to look behind him.
In the dim corridor, there stood a few others who, like him, were tainted with the aura of demons.
"Like you saw just now, that student from the Great Emperor Academy possesses superpowers that can restrain us, and his existence could potentially hinder our mission tonight. Kill him tonight!
Remember, do not alarm the high-level Awakened ones inside the Great Emperor Academy, especially that one named Jiang Han!"
"Yes!"
Lin Tianming was unaware that he had been targeted by a group of people tainted with demonic aura. After returning to the Great Emperor Academy, he relayed his and Ye Qingxue's encounter at West Gate Snack Street to Jiang Han.
Upon hearing this news, Jiang Han's beautiful eyes showed a grave expression: "People tainted with demonic aura near the West Gate of the Great Emperor Academy?"
Lin Tianming nodded affirmatively, "Yes, Teacher Jiang Han, that demon I killed mentioned that the man in black was a body he had found with great difficulty."
Hearing Lin Tianming's additional information, Jiang Han said, "It seems then that you did not kill the demon. Little friend Tianming, what you killed was just a human infected and possessed by its demonic qi."
[It's really strange... With such strict defenses in the Imperial City, how could the demons from the Land of Calamity have gotten in?]
[Although in my previous life, I died tragically at the hands of a traitor next year, there were no demon invasions in the Imperial City during that time. Has my rebirth changed so much in this world?]
Lin Tianming asked, "Even if we didn't kill its main body, it shouldn't be able to enter the Imperial City and cause trouble for a while, right?"
Upon this question, Jiang Han pondered for a moment before giving her response.
"It's uncertain; it depends if it has possessed other human bodies and is hiding within the Imperial City.
From your description, little friend Tianming, it seems to be a high-level demon. Because the human body it possessed was too weak to exhibit all its powers, it was killed by you.
High-level demons are very intelligent; typically, when infiltrating human cities, they would possess several humans to avoid being wiped out all at once."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming gasped, "Teacher Jiang Han, do you mean... there could still be other people in the Imperial City whom it has possessed hiding somewhere?"
"That's right. Moreover, once high-level demons successfully infiltrate, they will bring a number of their demon servants to conduct more covert operations."
Listening to the demon information provided by Jiang Han, Lin Tianming murmured, "There are even underlings..."
"There's one more thing, these demons are very vengeful. By killing its possessed target, you've interfered with its secret plans in the Imperial City. I suspect it has now set its sights on you and is plotting how to kill you!"
As Jiang Han spoke of the possibility that he might have been targeted by the demon, Lin Tianming quickly turned to Jiang Han for help.
"So what should I do now, Teacher Jiang Han?"
Laughing at this, Jiang Han replied,
"What else can you do? Just wait for the demon to show up and find you. You'll lure it with your physical body, and I'll take care of eliminating it. With the cooperation between us, master and disciple, there will be no problems!"

Chapter 64: Chapter 64 Just wander the streets at night and the Demons will definitely come looking for you!
"Teacher Jiang Han, why does it have to be my physical body that's luring them?"
"What's the matter? Kid, you're not expecting me to lure those demons for you, are you? I didn't kill that demon-possessed human, so it wouldn't work if I lure them!"
"Alright... Teacher Jiang Han, where are you now? Get closer to me, I'm kind of scared..."
"Friend Tianming, you realize you're scared at a time like this? Don't worry, I am nearby. If that demon shows up, I'll be there to save you in no time. If my analysis is correct, the human host body it attacked before must have been at least a Level 80 Awakener!"
"Eight... Level 80? That's a whole 64 levels above mine! Teacher Jiang Han, are you sure you can save me in time when it appears?"
"I... I should be able to?"
"What do you mean 'should be'? Be more certain!"
"Alright, alright, I'm certain, don't be scared, the teacher will protect you, little fella, you look quite cute when you're scared!"
"Buzz off!"
"Is that how you speak to your teacher, you rebel?"
Ignoring Jiang Han's angry voice messages, Lin Tianming continued to walk aimlessly through the desolate, late-night Imperial Academy with his headphones on.
He had been conversing with Jiang Han through his headphones for a while, hoping to alleviate the tension of the enemy being hidden while he's exposed. But the more he chatted with Jiang Han, the more unreliable he found her to be.
He had to rely on himself!
If some demon really did show up later, he would hit it with a Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Thunder Attribute Skill!
Screw whether it's Level 80 or not; under the might of a Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Thunder Attribute Skill, it would be reduced to ashes!
Wandering around the Imperial Academy for a long time on his own, Lin Tianming didn't run into anyone, nor did he encounter any sudden attacks.
However, he did receive a voice message from Jiang Han.
"There's demonic Qi from demons, but it's very subtle. They seem to be very wary. It looks like they're afraid of disturbing high-level Awakeners by making a move in the Imperial Academy."
After listening to Jiang Han's voice message with his headphones, Lin Tianming frowned.
Why didn't he sense anything?
He didn't send a voice message but instead pretended to be a night owl buried in his phone, typing a reply to Jiang Han.
"What should we do then?"
"Continue with physical luring; the big fish hasn't shown up yet, it's all just small fry, you go out!"
"Ah? What do you mean go out!"
"Silly, you don't have any tacit understanding with your teacher! I'm telling you to get out of the Imperial Academy, any exit, and wander around the streets randomly! Head towards the more desolate areas!"
"Are you sure this will work?"
"Trust my judgment, teacher. Wandering the streets late at night, especially picking those with no people, preferably where the streetlights are broken and the cameras are out in remote areas, the demons will definitely come for you!"
"I feel like you're just setting me up!"
Although he felt set up, Lin Tianming still went out of the Imperial Academy as Jiang Han had instructed.
He had been in communication with Jiang Han via his phone the whole time and hadn't picked up any of her thoughts.
He was certain that her so-called being nearby was nonsense; she must be hiding at the farthest visible distance, watching from afar, otherwise he wouldn't fail to pick up her thoughts.
Despite inwardly lamenting that Jiang Han was a bit unreliable, Lin Tianming still left the Imperial Academy and began walking towards darker, more remote areas.
He walked several streets like this until the buildings of the Imperial Academy were no longer visible behind him.
The streetlights on both sides of the street flickered dimly, and the scant security cameras had been damaged without prompt repair.
"You are being watched!"
After a long time without hearing from Teacher Jiang Han, Lin Tianming typed in response: "Is it the big fish you talked about getting hooked?"
"I haven't spotted the big fish yet. I said you are being watched, and it's not by demons, but by the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group. It looks like they've seen your midday fight with the demon on the surveillance footage, and they're also looking for you."
"The Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group?"
"They are the guys specifically responsible for maintaining order in the Imperial City on a daily basis. I guess they also want to keep an eye on you from the shadows, waiting for your physical body to lure out the demons before they show up!"
Lin Tianming was speechless.
In the middle of the night, why does everyone want to use him as bait to lure demons?
"Be ready to fight at any moment, I have a feeling they're about to lose their patience. You can deal with the small fry yourself, I'll wait for the big fish to appear and then help you! Good luck!"
Almost at the same time Lin Tianming received the voice message from Jiang Han cautioning him to be careful, several bizarre and extreme demon auras appeared from dark corners and rapidly launched an assault on him.
Lin Tianming was already frustrated about being used as bait the whole night and had nowhere to vent.
Upon seeing those approaching demonic qi and the people contaminated by it closely following behind, his gaze sharpened.
Spiritual Power Sparks!
Boiling, burning Spiritual Power Fire split into several streams, each targeting the sources of the demonic qi.
The Spiritual Power Fire, which strikes at the soul, increased in power several-fold when encountering demons, instantly burning all the demon people trying to ambush him to death.
Easily slaying the possessed demons referred to as "small fry" by Teacher Jiang Han, Lin Tianming was about to take out his phone to contact Jiang Han and ask when the "big fish" she mentioned would appear, when a terrifying demonic qi, with no warning, assaulted his face.
"These Demon Servants are real trash. I went through a lot of trouble to infiltrate here and even brought them along, hoping they would be of some help to me. But to think they can't even deal with a low-level Level 16 human Awakener!"
At the end of the dark street ahead, a man exuding demonic qi and looking exactly like the black-clothed man Lin Tianming had encountered during the day, yet even more powerful, walked out slowly.
Upon seeing this man, Lin Tianming felt an immense oppression.
It was the suppression of an absolute level difference, making it somewhat hard for Lin Tianming to breathe.
This guy must be the "big fish" Teacher Jiang Han spoke of!
Seeing that Jiang Han had not shown up, Lin Tianming stopped texting her and sent her a voice message directly.
"The big fish has shown up, where are you?"
Jiang Han, who had been quick to reply all night, did not respond at all this time, which increased the pressure on Lin Tianming's shoulders.
"Human, do you know the huge sacrifice I make every time I send one of my possessed corpses in? Even the weakest body you killed during the day took a lot of my effort, and before it could serve its purpose, you killed it. You... deserve to die!"
While talking, the angry man released the same ferocious ghost face as the black-clothed man from the day.
However, the ghost face he released was far more formidable than that of the daytime black-clothed man.
Spiritual Power Storm!
Lin Tianming also unleashed the Spiritual Power Storm directly, the already massively increased power of the Spiritual Power Storm collided with the man's ferocious ghost face.
Although Lin Tianming's Spiritual Power Ascension was very restraining to demons, the huge level difference still made his Spiritual Power Storm seem fragile.
In just a brief moment, Lin Tianming's Spiritual Power Storm was torn apart by the ferocious ghost face.
"Die, human! I shall relish your soul, and then take over your body. With your body, my grand plan will be a step closer to success!"
This demon... couldn't be Level 80 as Teacher Jiang Han said, could it?
Seeing his Spiritual Power Storm so easily shredded, Lin Tianming's eyes darkened.
With no sign of Teacher Jiang Han appearing, although he did not know what she was up to, Lin Tianming could not worry about that any longer.
He decided to use the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill, which only Top Awakeners possess, to obliterate the demon in front of him!
Super Position Forbidden Curse... Purple Thunder Shocking Sky...
However, just as Lin Tianming was about to use the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill Purple Thunder Shocking Sky, his Purple Thunder Shocking Sky was unexpectedly interrupted.
He thought it was the demon who interrupted it, but when he looked at the possessed man, he also saw the demon's ferocious ghost face being penetrated and dispersed by thriving flower petals.
As he looked on in disbelief, beautiful and colorful petals filled the entire street with vibrant showers of blossoms.
A petal brushed past his ear, and he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but the petal seemed like a conduit for sound, whispering a seductively bone-chilling murmur directly into his brain through his earphones, making him feel a pleasant comfort in body and mind.
"Your task is already complete, it's best to use Super Position Forbidden Curse level skills less within the Imperial City, it could involve innocents."

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC65 Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group Hua Yufei! SSS-level superpower Flourishing Flower!
Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group Hua Yufei! SSS-level superpower Flourishing Flower!
Beneath the dazzling rain of flowers, petals fell onto Lin Tianming like raindrops, with warm currents flowing from the petals into his body, nourishing his physique.
In just a short moment, Lin Tianming had recovered all the physical strength he had expended in the previous battle amidst the flurry of petals.
However, the man possessed by the high-level demon suffered terribly; surrounded by the endlessly dazzling petals, whenever a petal touched his body, it released terrifying energy and exploded.
Petals kept falling onto him, each time unleashing destructive power upon his body.
The splendid petals bloomed repeatedly, like fireworks.
It was a beautiful sight, even though it was a slaughter of a demon, one couldn't help but take a few more glances.
In a similarly brief time, unlike Lin Tianming's quick recovery of strength, the man possessed by the demon met a gruesome death on the spot under the blooming energy of the petals.
Lin Tianming watched as the man's beautiful demise was brought about by the petals, and he was utterly stunned.
Could there really be such a beautifully dazzling way of attacking in this world?
Before Lin Tianming could recover from the shock of the man's death by the beautiful flower rain, a woman with a graceful figure, as charming as the Flower Fairy, slowly emerged from the shadows, surrounded by splendid petals.
In a single breath, this fairy-like beautiful woman reached Lin Tianming.
The fairy-like woman gently patted Lin Tianming's shoulder, "Junior Brother Tianming, tonight was really thanks to your physical enticement. I've been tracking this demon-possessed man for a long time, and tonight I finally managed to have him executed!"
This pat also instantly brought Lin Tianming back to his senses.
Seeing the Flower Fairy suddenly appearing before him, Lin Tianming instinctively distanced himself from her, looking at her warily.
"Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"Junior Brother Tianming, you really are cautious!"
The fairy-like woman smiled charmingly, then continued, "I'm Hua Yufei. I was a student at the Great Emperor Academy a year ago, and now I'm the captain of the Fifth Squad of the Imperial Capital Awakening Battle Group.
Although I've been out for a year, I've always kept an eye on some news from the Great Emperor Academy. Plus, you've been quite famous lately, I've seen all those battle videos of yours.
Moreover, the fight you had at West Gate Snack Street this noon was captured by surveillance cameras. I've studied them for a long time, so knowing your name isn't strange, right?"
Is she the person from the Awakening Battle Group that Teacher Jiang Han mentioned earlier?
Recalling that Jiang Han had also said that he was being watched by someone from the Awakening Battle Group, Lin Tianming became slightly less wary of Hua Yufei.
"So, it's Senior Hua, thank you for stepping in to help!"
Hua Yufei smiled sweetly, her every gesture as mesmerizing as the superpower she possessed to summon the sky full of petals, beautifully like a fairy among flowers.
"It's not really a rescue, I just saw that you were about to deploy the Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skill and intervened in time to stop you while also taking care of that demon. That Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill must be a duplicate of Teacher Jiang Han's, right?"
Seeing that Hua Yufei knew Jiang Han, Lin Tianming said, "Senior Hua, you're sharp-eyed, nothing can escape your notice! But Senior, you were able to interrupt me as I was about to deploy the Super Position Forbidden Curse, could it be that you have already..."
Meanwhile, Lin Tianming was curious how she, an Awakener just a year after graduation, managed to interrupt his deployment of a Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skill.
Only Top Awakeners possess Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skills.
Could Hua Yufei have become a Top Awakener within a year of her graduation?
Facing Lin Tianming's doubts, Hua Yufei did not conceal anything: "Junior Brother Tianming, I don't have the ability to forcibly interrupt Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skills by myself. I'm only Level 80.
Just now, to stop you from deploying the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill and causing unimaginable destruction to this area, I used a Super Position Forbidden Device, which is specifically designed to counteract Super Position Forbidden Curse Skills."
Upon receiving Hua Yufei's explanation, Lin Tianming came to a realization, "So that's how it is. I understand now, Senior Hua."
"However, I really didn't expect your Divine Hand Duplicate Ability to be so aberrant; even duplicating Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skills, which are only possessed by Top Awakeners, and it's been copied by you, a Level 16 Superpower Awakened!
Even though we both have SSS-level Superpower Talent, when comparing my Flourishing Flower to your Divine Hand, it feels like an F-level Talent, so much weaker in potential!"
Listening to Hua Yufei's praise of his Divine Hand, Lin Tianming felt a bit embarrassed: "Senior Hua is too humble. Each SSS-level Superpower has its advantages. My Divine Hand is not as powerful as you say!"
"Cough, cough..."
As Lin Tianming and the newly-acquainted graduate Senior Hua Yufei chatted happily, Hua Yufei suddenly started coughing up blood.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming quickly supported her, nearly falling down from coughing up blood: "Senior Hua, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly start coughing up blood?"
"Using a Super Position Forbidden Device to counteract a Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill is extremely harmful to the body and causes severe side effects. It's nothing serious, I just need to rest and recover."
As Hua Yufei explained, she coughed up blood several more times.
Upon realizing that she was behaving this way to stop him from using the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill, Lin Tianming took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, Senior Hua, I didn't mean to hurt you. Does your Awakening Battle Group have a branch nearby? I'll take you back!"
"It's not your fault, I misjudged the situation. If only I had intervened when I first saw that Level 80 demon, you wouldn't have been forced to use the life-saving Super Position Forbidden Curse Level Skill that Teacher Jiang Han left you.
I am the captain of the Fifth Squad responsible for the area near the Great Emperor Academy. Let me send you the location of our Fifth Squad!"
After Hua Yufei finished speaking, she took out her phone, set up the location of the Fifth Squad, and then handed her phone to Lin Tianming.
"Just follow this navigation to take me back, it's not far, about half an hour's distance."
Lin Tianming took Hua Yufei's phone, but as he was about to take Hua Yufei back for treatment, the man buried by the petal rain slowly climbed up from the ground.
"Thinking of leaving? You both must stay today! Both of you are SSS-level superpowers, and your souls will definitely be delicious! Hahaha!"
The Hua Yufei, who lay in Lin Tianming's arms, saw the man who was supposed to be dead stand up again, and her face immediately darkened.
"How is this possible? It... it's not dead?"
"Of course I'm not so easily killed! You and the body I possess are both Level 80 Awakeners. Even if you're much stronger than your peers, it's not possible for you to kill me that easily!"
The man laughed wildly, and his ghastly, ghostly face once again rose up like dark soul flames.
"I have to thank you as well. If you hadn't used the Super Position Forbidden Device at the expense of damaging your body, interrupting his Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill, the body I possess would have been annihilated just now!
Because of the side effects of the Super Position Forbidden Device, you're in a weakened state, and his Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill was interrupted and is gone. Now you are both like fish on the chopping block, ready for me to slaughter!"
Watching the demon rise from the ground, laughing more wildly, Hua Yufei whispered to Lin Tianming: "Don't worry about me, Junior Brother Tianming; although I am very weak, I can still use some forbidden methods to protect you. Go back to the Great Emperor Academy and get help. It's best to have Teacher Jiang Han come in person, she is a Top Awakener and has killed countless demons; this demon is nothing to her!"
Lin Tianming naturally wanted to ask Jiang Han to take action so he could save some effort.
Unfortunately, ever since this man appeared, Teacher Jiang Han, who had been responding to his messages instantly, started playing the disappearing game.
Now, he could only rely on himself!
Though his only Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill was interrupted, Lin Tianming was not afraid of the demon rising from the petal rain funeral.
Because his Spiritual Power Ascension made him acutely aware that the demon, heavily injured by Hua Yufei, was just at the end of his tether.
The demon must have thought that although it was severely wounded, it could still defeat him, considering he was only around ten-level.
He would demonstrate to the demon that he, Lin Tianming, was not an easy target!
Spiritual Power Storm!
Sensing the surging Spiritual Power Ascension around Lin Tianming, Hua Yufei realized his intent to fight.
But she still said: "Junior Brother Tianming, don't act impulsively, leave now and I'll hold it back..."
Before Hua Yufei could finish her sentence, Lin Tianming firmly interrupted her: "Senior Hua, it was already gravely injured by your petal rain earlier. There's nothing to fear, leave the rest to me!"
"What a big talk! I admit your soul power is very special, naturally restraining us demons, but the body I possess is a Level 80 Awakener; even heavily wounded, it's not something a Ten-Level Awakener like you can handle!"
The demon man laughed at Lin Tianming's boastful claims and directly launched its most vicious attack.
The ghastly ghost face surged up to several times its size, rushing at Lin Tianming at high speed, intending to swallow him.
"I will take your soul! And your flesh body as well!"
"You really don't understand the situation at all! Let me send you flying!"
Lin Tianming's eyes sharpened, and under his control, his Spiritual Power Storm also surged up to several times its size, sweeping with the Spiritual Power Ascending Force that could destroy all souls, and it smashed towards the center of the ghastly ghost face.
Boom!
The surging Spiritual Power Storm, like a sharp sword, easily tore the ghastly ghost face apart like paper, and continued to roll on unstoppably towards the demon man.
Watching the Spiritual Power Storm, naturally restraining demons, furiously attacking him, the demon man, who was hanging by a last threat of life, finally grew fearful.
"How... how can it be so powerful? Even if it restrains us demons, it shouldn't have such terrifying power at just ten-level... no... this body can't die yet, I still have a more important mission to complete... no!"
If the demon had continued to play dead and not coveted Lin Tianming's soul, it definitely would not have been killed by Lin Tianming.
But now, it was too late. Under the violent tearing of the Spiritual Power Storm, the body it possessed could not withstand such devastation.
And the soul power of its possession also suffered unprecedented agonizing torture.
Finally, under the dual devastation of body and spirit, it vanished into ashes amidst its unwilling roars.

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC66: Teacher Jiang Han Wipes Out the Demons in One Fell Swoop!
Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Teacher Jiang Han Wipes Out the Demons in One Fell Swoop!
"Dead... dead?"
Hua Yufei was about to use her forbidden method despite the side effects of her aggravated injuries to save Lin Tianming, but Lin Tianming's Spiritual Power Storm directly annihilated the demon-possessed man.
That was a Level 80 demon-possessed by a high-level demon, not something low-level Superpower Awakened could handle even if seriously injured.
If Lin Tianming had used a Super Position Forbidden Curse, Hua Yufei would not have been so shocked.
What shocked her was the immense power of Lin Tianming's Soul Power Skill, Spiritual Power Storm!
She had watched Lin Tianming's battle against the demon via a recording earlier in the afternoon, but a recording is just a recording, it is not as vivid as being on the scene.
Witnessing it this time, she could clearly feel that Lin Tianming's soul power was very special, having a natural restraint against demons.
Could it be this restraint that allows Lin Tianming to kill high-level demons more easily than normal people?
Before Hua Yufei could figure this out, the side effects of using the Super Position Forbidden Device caused her to cough up blood again.
"Cough cough..."
Earlier, it was with Lin Tianming's support that she could barely stand.
During the short time Lin Tianming eliminated the demon, she became unsteady again.
Her legs gave out, and Hua Yufei collapsed weakly to the ground.
Lin Tianming saw this and hurried back to her side, squatting down to hold her in his arms.
"Senior Hua, are you alright?"
At this moment, suffering from the side effects of using the Super Position Forbidden Device, Hua Yufei was very tired and needed to rest properly.
"It's nothing, this is all within the normal range of side effects from using the Super Position Forbidden Device, as long as you take me back to rest for the night, I'll recover..."
"I'll take you back now, Senior Hua, can you stand up now?"
Lin Tianming, like earlier, supported Hua Yufei to take her back to the Awakening Battle Group's nearby branch to recuperate.
However, as he supported her and walked a few steps, under the torture of the Super Position Forbidden Device's side effects, she became weaker and couldn't walk even with Lin Tianming's support.
If not for Lin Tianming quickly supporting Hua Yufei, she would have knelt down again.
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Tianming, I was supposed to save you, but due to my misjudgment, I need you to take care of me..."
Listening to Hua Yufei's somewhat apologetic words, Lin Tianming shook his head: "Senior Hua didn't realize the demon's threat was so great, and didn't come out to help me immediately; it's not your fault. You came out later to stop me from using the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill to prevent the formidable power of the Super Position Forbidden Curse Skill from affecting innocent people.
You are injured now, don't think too much. If you can't walk, I'll carry you back!"
After finishing his words, Lin Tianming didn't wait for Hua Yufei to respond and held her weak legs as he carried her in his arms in a princess carry, causing Hua Yufei to involuntarily let out a coy cry.
Noticing Hua Yufei's flushed, hot face, Lin Tianming gravely said, "Senior Hua, this is also to take you back to rest, I apologize for the offense, please forgive me."
"Mm... No problem, Junior Brother Tianming, please take me back."
Despite her alluring superpower Talent and appearance, she had never had such intimate contact with the opposite sex.
This was the first time Hua Yufei had such close contact with a boy, and her burning cheek felt shy about making eye contact with Lin Tianming, who was many years younger than her.
Though Lin Tianming carried himself with integrity, feeling nothing, at this moment he was also tormented by Hua Yufei.
Hua Yufei herself was delicate and soft, every gesture was seductively delightful, coupled with her Superpower Talent, Flourishing Flower Language, which extremely suited her constitution, even when she did nothing, she still had a seductive allure.
As Lin Tianming came into such close contact with this Fairy-like beautiful Senior in the fragrance of flowers, his heart was also waging a fierce battle.
As Lin Tianming carried Hua Yufei in a princess carry for a while, the blush on her face gradually faded away.
Her emotions gradually stabilizing, she also started communicating with Lin Tianming.
"Junior Brother Tianming, have you noticed that your soul power seems to naturally suppress those demons? I think this is why they target you, aiming to nip you in the bud."
Regarding this issue, Lin Tianming also responded: "Yes, I noticed today at noon. This is my first encounter with a demon. My Spiritual Power Skill is not usually this powerful, but when encountering demons, it can unleash a destructive power far greater than usual."
Lin Tianming almost revealed his identity as a Spiritual Power Ascender and timely corrected himself, and continued talking with Hua Yufei.
After getting Lin Tianming's answer, Hua Yufei continued: "Junior Brother Tianming, if you grow up, your unique soul power might become a weapon for Jiuzhou to counter the demons from the Land of Calamity.
Imperial City has been somewhat unstable recently. According to the information I obtained from the Awakening Battle Group, there should be other high-level demons that have infiltrated our Imperial City by possessing humans. With your soul power so effective against them, you should also be careful."
Hearing about other high-level demons in Imperial City from Hua Yufei, Lin Tianming asked, "Senior Hua, Imperial City is the heart of Jiuzhou with the strictest defenses; how could so many demons from the Land of Calamity infiltrate this time?"
Talking about this issue, Hua Yufei hesitated and then answered, "I'm not sure about the specifics. I'm just the captain of the Fifth Squad in the Awakening Battle Group with limited access to information, but I suspect it might involve some collusion with the demons from the Land of Calamity."
People in Jiuzhou colluding with the demons from the Land of Calamity?
Hearing Hua Yufei's bold speculation, Lin Tianming's eyes slightly narrowed.
"Senior Hua, I have another question. The possessed human said it couldn't die here because it had an important mission it hadn't completed yet. Do you know what that mission is?"
Hua Yufei was also curious about the question Lin Tianming raised and, knowing nothing, gave a wry smile and shook her head.
"I don't know, but whatever mission they want to complete definitely poses a great threat to Imperial City and even the whole of Jiuzhou. So, Junior Brother Tianming, while staying safe, if you discover anything about the demons, please also let me know. This way, I can use the power of the Awakening Battle Group to investigate and thwart their evil plans!"
"Don't worry, Senior Hua, I will!"
After about half an hour, Lin Tianming carried Hua Yufei princess-style to the base of the Fifth Squad of the Awakening Battle Group near the Imperial Academy.
Having added Hua Yufei, a senior who graduated a year ago, as a friend on social media, Lin Tianming headed back to the Imperial Academy.
Thinking of how Teacher Jiang Han vanished at the moment of crisis, Lin Tianming seriously suspected whether she suddenly remembered being betrayed by him in a past life and decided to leave him to his own devices.
He checked his phone to look at the chat history with Jiang Han; the last message was still the one he sent, and she hadn't replied after all this while.
Lin Tianming hesitated and then sent another message.
"Teacher Jiang Han, you said you'd handle the demon after my physical enticement. I almost died just now; where were you?"
"You little brat, aren't you alive and well?"
Good grief, she replied immediately with a voice message now that the crisis was over?
This further confirmed Lin Tianming's suspicion; she remembered the original owner killed his master in a previous life and thus ignored him.
Feeling somewhat gloomy, Lin Tianming did not respond to Jiang Han anymore and went alone back to the men's dormitory to sleep.
Lin Tianming did not know that at this moment, on the other end of his mobile phone, Jiang Han was standing at the entrance of a dark underground passage.
There was a tightly closed door at the entrance of the dark passage, equipped with a smart lock system that allowed for password entry or direct facial recognition.
Jiang Han, after confirming that both Lin Tianming and Hua Yufei were safe, traced the scent of the demon and found this place.
Jiang Han slowly walked to the door, positioned her face in front of the facial recognition system on the door.
"Identity verification in progress..."
"Face verification failed, intruder detected, all hands on deck!"
Boom!
Her beautiful eyes unleashing destructive Purple Thunder Light, Jiang Han instantly destroyed the closed door.
"I said I'd handle them all in one sweep, and I will definitely do just that!"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC67: Teacher Jiang Han, who doesn't want to be misunderstood by Lin Tianming! I've slaughtered all the demons!
Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Teacher Jiang Han, who doesn't want to be misunderstood by Lin Tianming! I've slaughtered all the demons!
The gloomy underground passage hid a stronghold where numerous demons converged.
Most of the demons here were human corpses possessed by the demons of the Land of Calamity, also known as the demons spoken of by Hua Yufei and Lin Tianming.
They gathered here, secretly carrying out actions that threatened the safety of the Imperial City.
Jiang Han's sudden intrusion disrupted the calm of this demon underground stronghold.
Especially when the leading high-level demons possessing human bodies saw Jiang Han's eyes flashing with terrifying Purple Thunder Light through the surveillance cameras, they were all petrified with fear.
"How... how could it be her? Jiang Han, the successor of the Hall Master of the Thunder Hall!"
"Even if we came in person, we couldn't handle her together, her arrival has thrown our long-planned scheme into chaos!"
"Who exactly is it? Which fool led her here? Damn it!"
"I remember now, Ghost Spirit, wasn't your other Level 80 possessed body moving around near the Imperial Academy today? Didn't you startle her, did you?"
"Impossible! I was just chasing a mere human child of level ten or so!"
"What's the condition of that body now?"
"It should still be... hiss... dead... dead?"
"Just as I thought, you fool, Ghost Spirit! Knowing Jiang Han was at the Great Emperor Academy, you still led your Demon Servants to hunt there, you've ruined our plans!"
"Now's not the time for infighting, we should think of a way to deal with her first!"
These high-level demons occupying human bodies fearfully watched Jiang Han on the screen.
Like entering an uninhabited territory, wherever she went, she left behind her the terrifying Thunder Power, gradually turning the painstakingly constructed stronghold into ruins.
"No, we can't fight her head-on, the bodies we possess have important missions, we absolutely cannot die here, find a way to escape!"
It was unclear if she sensed them watching her, but Jiang Han suddenly cast a chilling look towards the nearby surveillance camera.
Crackle!
With the sound of the surveillance camera being destroyed by an electrical burst, the demons located in the deepest part of the stronghold lost sight of Jiang Han.
"It's fine, there are other surveillance cameras, we..."
However, before that demon could finish speaking, all the cameras in the stronghold were damaged almost at the same time.
Moreover, in the hall at the deepest part of the stronghold, all sorts of equipment began to spark and crackle, emitting sparks and flashes of electricity.
Within just a short moment, the entire demon stronghold lost power.
The power outage itself was not frightening for the demons, but what terrified them was that the person who cut the power was coming!
Boom!
The high-level demons occupying human bodies didn't have time to discuss a strategy when the doors of the hall were blown apart.
In the deep corridor, a figure enveloped in purple electric light was slowly approaching.
The owner of this figure was naturally Lin Tianming's teacher, Jiang Han.
"Now it's too late to run, we might as well fight her!"
"This is our turf after all, we have our defensive Prohibitions, if we join forces, we might be able to kill her!"
Caught in a desperate situation, these high-level demons occupying human bodies decided to steel their hearts and fight Jiang Han to the death in a final stand.
But they vastly overestimated their capabilities.
Jiang Han hadn't even entered the hall yet, but her beautiful eyes flickering with the terrifying Purple Thunder Light released a destructive Purple Thunder Light Column, instantly piercing through the dark corridor, skewering their Demon Bodies like candied hawthorns on a stick.
The Purple Thunder Light Column punctured through them, and at the same time, released exploding thunder light that further tore apart their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, the demons who sought to fight Jiang Han to the death were utterly dispersed in the destructive glow of the Purple Thunder.
Other demons at the stronghold were also slain by Jiang Han along the way, but she did not leave after that. Instead, she entered the final stronghold hall.
After a brief search, she gathered some extremely useful intelligence.
"These demons infiltrate the Imperial City on such a large scale, could it be they aim for the Demon Tomb beneath it? The Demon Tomb has not opened for a hundred years; how could they enter? Could it be... that the Demon Tomb will open soon?"
Muttering to herself information related to the Demon Tomb, Jiang Han's eyes slightly narrowed.
In her previous life, until the moment she was betrayed and killed by her own treacherous disciple, there were no movements from the Demon Tomb, nor any demon invasions in the Imperial City.
This life, reborn, there was a chance the Demon Tomb might open.
It seems she needed to pay close attention to the news in this regard soon and prepare for the possible opening of the Demon Tomb at any time.
With these thoughts, Jiang Han left the underground demon stronghold.
...
The next day, Lin Tianming, who Teacher Jiang Han had summoned last night to physically lure the demons and was now sporting somewhat weary dark circles, attended Jiang Han's class as usual.
Seeing his slightly sleep-deprived look, Jiang Han teased, "What's with you, kiddo? Didn't have a good rest?"
Lin Tianming replied irritatedly, "No kidding, why don't you try luring demons in the flesh, and then handling them by yourself?"
Hearing Lin Tianming's words, Jiang Han, who personally took down the demon stronghold that had attacked Lin Tianming last night, felt rather displeased.
"Are you blaming me?"
[This brat! Last night, I only left after making sure that Hua Yufei had crippled the demon and that you could handle it yourself. I tracked the demon's scent on my own and even wiped out its stronghold in the Imperial City, and you still bear a grudge against me!]
Suddenly hearing Jiang Han's quite unhappy inner voice, Lin Tianming was taken aback.
So last night, when the Level 80 demon attacked, Jiang Han did not show up because she was confident that he and Hua Yufei together would definitely be able to kill the demon?
And she was tracking down the demon's scent, backtracking to locate the demon stronghold in Imperial City, and took care of the demons that posed a threat to him?
No wonder she hadn't replied to his messages for so long last night; it wasn't that she abandoned him at a critical moment but that she was finding and dealing with those demons for him...
With this in mind, all the dissatisfaction Lin Tianming had harbored against Jiang Han from last night dissipated.
"How dare I? Teacher Jiang Han, you're my teacher; I wouldn't dare to be angry with you!"
Although Lin Tianming claimed he wouldn't be upset with her, Jiang Han was still somewhat skeptical.
[This kid won't harbor resentment because of this, and then, like in my previous life, commit the heinous act of murdering his teacher, will he?]
[Should I tell him about last night's demon stronghold?]
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Han felt it was better to explain to Lin Tianming.
"Brat, do you know why I didn't reply to your messages when you were in danger last night?"
Even though Lin Tianming had already learned the truth by overhearing her thoughts, he still had to pretend as if he knew nothing.
"I have no idea, Teacher Jiang Han. Do you have some unspeakable difficulty?"
Seeing Lin Tianming asking like this, Jiang Han also said, "You brat, always blaming your teacher. I won't harm you. Last night when you faced danger, I didn't show up because I realized that Hua Yufei of the Awakening Battle Group was nearby. I knew you two together would surely be able to defeat that demon's body.
Ensuring that you wouldn't be in any real danger, I used my tracking skills to follow the scent of the other bodies the demon possessed, which led me to its hidden demon stronghold, and the other demons inside.
Just as I said to you when I had you physically lure the demons, you're responsible for the luring, and your teacher is responsible for wiping them out in one fell swoop. I have already killed all the demons that could have threatened you last night, so you cannot be angry or blame me!"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC68: The new skill that even Teacher Jiang Han suffered a Mental Breakdown! Soul Capture!
Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The new skill that even Teacher Jiang Han suffered a Mental Breakdown! Soul Capture!
Listening to Teacher Jiang Han's words, showing deep concern for his feelings, Lin Tianming felt truly moved.
Such a good teacher is really hard to find!
He replied, "Teacher Jiang Han, I'm really not angry, I was just making a joke!"
"Really?"
"Truer than true gold, my Teacher Jiang Han!"
Seeing that Lin Tianming didn't seem to be lying, Jiang Han decided not to dwell on this matter anymore.
[Hopefully, he really hasn't taken it to heart. If he misunderstands me because of this, and starts to resent me, I'm afraid that in this life, we will inevitably part ways...]
[Before, I saw how stubborn he was when sparring with Ye Qingxue; in his previous life, he would not have been like that. I hope that in this life his personality really has changed...]
[If it's still the same, and all this is just him pretending better in this life, then I will have to painfully clean up my own house!]
Hearing Jiang Han's conflicted feelings, Lin Tianming broke out in a cold sweat.
Stop it, Teacher Jiang Han, it's terrifying, fully let go of your worries!
The Lin Tianming you met in this life will cherish you for a lifetime!
Lin Tianming shouted in his heart. He could already feel that with his efforts, Jiang Han's affection for her beloved student was gradually outweighing the resentment from the previous life.
As long as he continued diligently, cultivating the relationship step by step, he would definitely be able to win over Teacher Jiang Han!
"Friend Tianming, let's put aside those extracurricular topics and start today's special training," said Jiang Han.
Just when Lin Tianming was fantasizing about the future and completely winning Jiang Han over, her words snapped him back to reality.
But before he could prepare himself, Jiang Han launched an Angry Thunder Soul Seal, pulling part of his soul out of his body.
Then, a bolt of falling thunder struck down, leaving Lin Tianming slightly numb in the scalp.
"Whoa! Wait a second, Teacher Jiang Han, can't you start with something less violent every time? I'm saying... can we switch to a gentler training method?"
"No!"
Today's session started with the consistent soul power special training, and even though it wasn't Lin Tianming's first time with such devil training, he couldn't help but curse under his breath.
Devil Training aside, this period of intense soul power specialty training, leveling up, and Divine Hand's Duplicate and Plunder trainings were significantly boosting his potential and combat power.
His recent rapid breakthrough to Level 16 with the learned Spiritual Power Storm, and Divine Hand's Duplicate and Plunder unlocking restrictions, were the best proofs of the highly effective training.
[If nothing unexpected happens, Tianming is about to experience another metamorphosis in his soul power. With quantitative change leading to qualitative change, what kind of Soul Power Skill will he awaken to this time?]
Lin Tianming was already numbed by Jiang Han's devil training, but hearing her thoughts re-energized him.
After so many days of accumulation, is his soul power about to transform anew?
Carefully examining his own soul currently enduring double electric shocks, Lin Tianming sensed, as usual, an accumulation of new soul power that was converging towards the center, seemingly preparing to make an impact on something.
This discovery confirmed that Jiang Han's insights were correct.
Lin Tianming had to admit, as torturous as the devil training was, the enhancement it provided to his soul power was indeed significant.
The last time his soul power underwent a transformation, he learned a new Spiritual Ability Ascender Skill, and he believed this time would be no different.
Thinking this, Lin Tianming's attitude towards Jiang Han's devil training became more positive.
Under the eager watch of both Jiang Han and Lin Tianming, the feeling of sudden enlightenment of a new skill surged in Lin Tianming's mind.
He seized this fleeting opportunity to start pondering immediately.
At the same moment, his soul power began to converge towards the center, unleashing a more potent and resilient soul power.
[This kid seems to be on the verge of comprehending a new Soul Skill already, faster than I expected!]
Jiang Han, inwardly impressed, kept her eyes fixed on Lin Tianming, closely monitoring his state of enlightenment of the new skill.
Lin Tianming's converging soul power finally produced the quantitative to qualitative change Teacher Jiang Han described.
Though it appeared to shrink, it contained soul power far surpassing any he'd previously had.
The transformation of his soul power also meant that even if Lin Tianming remained at Level 16, the power he would unleash through the Spirit Body Spark and Spiritual Power Storm would be much greater than before.
But this wasn't Jiang Han's greatest concern; what she cared most about was Lin Tianming's new Soul Skill.
Noticing Lin Tianming slowly opening his eyes without displaying a specific skill like he did when he learned Spiritual Power Storm, Jiang Han showed a puzzled expression.
"Tianming, what new Soul Power Skill did you learn this time?"
When it came to the new Spiritual Ability Ascender Skill that Lin Tianming learned during his soul transformation, he was not as excited as when he had learned Spiritual Power Storm.
He honestly said: "This newly learned skill doesn't seem as destructive as Spiritual Power Storm. It's called Soul Capture, and the skill description says it can affect a person's mind, it seems similar to how Spiritual Power Sparks cause a mental breakdown."
Upon hearing Lin Tianming's description, Jiang Han still wanted to see the specific effects.
"Try using your new skill, Soul Capture, on me!"
When Jiang Han suggested he attack her with his new skill Soul Capture, Lin Tianming hesitated: "Is this really okay?"
"There's nothing wrong with it; we can only know the effects by trying. Just reading the skill description doesn't reveal much."
Seeing Jiang Han adamant about him using Soul Capture on her, Lin Tianming took a deep breath.
"Alright then, here I come, Teacher Jiang Han!"
After warning her, Lin Tianming immediately activated his new Spiritual Power Ascension Path Skill.
Soul Capture!
As Lin Tianming activated Soul Capture, the surging Ascending Power around him quickly concentrated at a point, forming a condensed yet more potent Spiritual Light Ball.
His eyes also emitted a light resembling that of Soul Capture.
At the same time, Jiang Han's soul underwent an unprecedented fierce attack, causing even her body as a Top Awakened to shudder violently.
[Such a... strong Soul Attack!]
[Me, a Top Superpower Awakened... to actually be at risk of a mental breakdown under a ten-level Soul Attack Skill?]
Then, because of her mental breakdown, her bright beautiful eyes gradually lost their color.
Lin Tianming heard Jiang Han's inner thoughts right before her mental breakdown, so he immediately realized she had entered a state of mental breakdown.
He was shocked by the power of his newly learned Spiritual Ability Ascender Skill.
This Soul Capture skill seemed unremarkable from its description, but who would've thought it'd be so fierce, even his Teacher Jiang Han couldn't withstand it!
After the initial shock dissipated, Lin Tianming's face revealed ecstatic joy.
Looking at Jiang Han with her mind broken, her eyes dull and listless, Lin Tianming curiously approached her and poked her cheek with his finger.
"Teacher Jiang Han?"
He tentatively called her name.
Seeing her with no reaction, her pupils still dull and unfocused, Lin Tianming's mouth turned up slightly, and his playful side came out.
"Teacher Jiang Han, can you hear me talking?"
Leaning close to Jiang Han's ear and shouting, then waving his hand in front of her dull gaze, Lin Tianming couldn't help laughing.
"This Soul Capture skill is simply magical, even Teacher Jiang Han can lose her mind for so long!"
While talking, Lin Tianming mischievously reached out with both hands, pinched the sides of Jiang Han's smooth cheeks, and made a funny face.
Then he took out his phone and mischievously snapped this rare scene.
The more he played, the more addicted he became, Lin Tianming continued to pinch Jiang Han's face making expressions she would never normally make, and took a selfie together.
"Cheese!"
After the snapshot, Lin Tianming admired his masterpiece.
"Nice... very nice! Teacher Jiang Han should really make these expressions more often!"
Next, Lin Tianming treated the mentally broken Jiang Han like a life-sized action figure, posing her randomly and taking many solo and group photos.
"Usually, it's either being struck by lightning from Teacher Jiang Han during Devil Training or on the way to be struck, now at least I've had a blast! If I knew I'd learn this move today, I should have bought a maid outfit online... hehe!"
Just as Lin Tianming was contemplating what mischief to get up to next, Teacher Jiang Han's voice filled with murderous intent rang in his ear.
"Have you had your fun?"

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC69: Soaking in the Thunder Pool! Are you sure this is a training method conceived by humans?
Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Soaking in the Thunder Pool! Are you sure this is a training method conceived by humans?
[This little brat took advantage of my moment of mental breakdown to do a lot of bad things!]
[Even daring to tease your teacher, squeezing my face to make funny faces and other expressions—you really have guts!]
[Ing...rate... ingrate... ingrate!]
Teacher Jiang Han, as soon as she regained her composure, spoke with murderous intent and likewise had a fierce inner voice. This immediately made Lin Tianming, who was having the time of his life, gasp in surprise.
"Teacher Jiang Han, you... you're awake?" he said with a chuckle.
Jiang Han didn't answer his question but asked coldly, "You really want to see me dressed as a maid?"
"Teacher Jiang Han, not at all!"
Lin Tianming, although caught in the act by Jiang Han, dared not admit any desire—this was a question akin to asking for death.
[This little rascal! I kindly helped him develop his new Superpower Talent that he awakened in the Secret Realm this lifetime, and he took the opportunity to bully me while I was off-guard!]
[However, having personally experienced it, this kid's Soul Capture Skill is truly perverse. Even I, a Top Awakener, had a mental breakdown for so long...]
[It seems I need to do some training on my soul, study some measures to better resist soul attacks of the level like Soul Capture. Otherwise, next time, facing this ingrate, who knows if I'll be pranked by his mischievousness!]
Hearing that Jiang Han planned to train her soul specifically to deal with his Soul Capturing Skill, Lin Tianming believed that with her experience as a Reincarnator of Thunder God, it wouldn't take long before she figured out how to defend against Soul Capture.
But since they were teacher and disciple, the methods she pondered would probably become opportunities to further develop his potential as a Spiritual Power Ascender.
And even if there were methods to counter it, it didn't necessarily mean they would be effective in real combat.
Just like Feng Lan, Alice, and Ye Qingxue, who would specifically prevent him from using his unique Spiritual Ability Transformation, but he still defeated all three of them in real combat.
Real combat tests the comprehensive combat power of all methods combined. Having a single countermeasure does not guarantee that you will win against your opponent.
Jiang Han looked at Lin Tianming, who was trying to pull the wool over her eyes, and after a while, she said, "I'll let it go this time, you rascal. Considering that your Soul Power has transformed once again, making the combat power increase brought about by the Angry Thunder Soul Seal training much less effective than before, I've decided to change the way I train your soul power from now on."
When Lin Tianming heard this, he was as thrilled as if clouds had parted to reveal the sun.
Finally, he could escape such devilish training!
Seeing the excitement in Lin Tianming's expression, Jiang Han naturally knew what he was happy about.
She continued, "The previous soul power training method was also designed considering the training volume and intensity of level ascension and Divine Hand training. Now that the old soul power training method is canceled, the other two types of devil training must also be scrapped and reformulated."
Hearing that the other two devil training methods were also canceled, Lin Tianming happily said, "That's great! Teacher Jiang Han, it's really time to change your training program!"
[What's this silly kid so happy about? The old training program is gone because it's no longer suitable for his current strength. The new training program will be even more intense than the old one.]
Jiang Han's latest thoughts hit Lin Tianming like a bolt from the blue.
"Teacher Jiang Han, take your time thinking about the new training program. I won't get in your way here; I'll be waiting for your good news back home!"
He turned around and tried to leave right away, but Jiang Han's familiar Lightning Whip wrapped around him and forcibly pulled him back to her side.
She looked at Lin Tianming with a smile, "Friend Tianming, you are my most prized student. How could I ever find you bothersome? I also have great news for you—I've already come up with the latest training program!"
"What kind of good news is this!" Lin Tianming felt somewhat helpless to retort.
[You rascal—now you know fear? Just a moment ago, didn't you think you can make advances on me and even suggest dressing me up as a maid?]
Jiang Han's overjoyed inner voice tormented Lin Tianming immensely.
"Let me tell you another piece of good news, kid. The latest training program I've come up with is just one. This means that you'll only have to undergo one kind of training for class in the future!"
[However, this one type of training regime encompasses level ascension, soul power training, and Divine Hand ability. The training intensity is even fiercer than the sum of the previous three training methods!]
Lin Tianming couldn't stand it anymore: "Please, just tell me straight what the specific training content is, stop torturing me!"
When it came to the latest customized devil training program for Lin Tianming, Jiang Han couldn't help but let a slight smile creep onto her lips.
"The content of the training is simple, just two words, 'take a bath'?"
Take a... bath?
Lin Tianming tried to glean more specifics through Jiang Han's thoughts, but at the moment, she wasn't thinking about the training content; instead, she was amusing herself with the thought of how entertaining it would be to see him wail like a ghost and howl like a wolf later on.
He had no choice but to ask, "What bath? Be more specific!"
Jiang Han was just waiting for Lin Tianming to ask. She continued, "Well, if I were to add two more words, it would be 'Thunder Pool bath'!"
"Mom, I want to go home!"
Lin Tianming's mentality completely collapsed.
Was this the punishment for taking advantage of Teacher Jiang Han's mental breakdown earlier and having a blast?
He seriously suspected that she was retaliating for the prank he pulled on her just now, settling personal scores!
[You're an orphan, where would you find a mother!]
Jiang Han internally scoffed, but she wouldn't say such a thing to Lin Tianming's face, lest it hurt his feelings.
She said, "Come on, Little Tianming, we have a long morning ahead of us! Have a good soak in the Thunder Pool and relax your nerves!"
As her voice fell, Jiang Han waved her jade hand and conjured a terrifyingly powerful Thunder Battery with the power of thunder.
Seeing that Jiang Han actually conjured a Thunder Pool for him, Lin Tianming clutched his stomach, "Teacher Jiang Han, my stomach hurts! Can I go to the bathroom first?"
[You think you can fool me with tricks that would deceive a three-year-old? If I really let you go, you'd never come back!]
[Just get in the Thunder Pool and practice! It's for your own quick growth too!]
Jiang Han didn't tease Lin Tianming any further. She swung the Lightning Whip that coiled around Lin Tianming and threw him straight into the Thunder Pool.
As soon as he entered the Thunder Pool filled with Destructive Thunder Power, Lin Tianming was electrified to the point of nearly passing out on the spot.
Damn Jiang Han, always setting up this devilish training!
He had barely started getting used to the double dose of soul shocks from the Angry Thunder Soul Seal, and now she'd upped the intensity and thrown him into the Thunder Pool.
Thunder Pool bath, are you sure this TM is a training method a human could come up with?
Within just a few breaths, Lin Tianming was already finding it hard to endure and immediately activated his skills for defense.
Furious Thunder Armor!
Using his own Thunder Power, he condensed the Furious Thunder Armor to protect himself, and Lin Tianming instantly felt much better.
However, his Furious Thunder Armor could barely hold up for a few seconds in the Thunder Pool filled with Destructive Thunder, as it was shattered by the pool's even stronger Thunder Power.
Once again, feeling the Destructive Thunder Power that he was currently unable to endure for long, Lin Tianming continued to condense the Furious Thunder Armor.
Furious Thunder Armor, keep forming!
After that, every time the Furious Thunder Armor was destroyed by the Thunder Pool, Lin Tianming would recondense it, relieving his pressure and increasing his soaking time in the Thunder Pool.
Since he was under intense training pressure the whole time, Lin Tianming didn't have the energy to sense the passage of time.
But watching from the side, Jiang Han could clearly see that with each destruction and reformation of the Furious Thunder Armor, Lin Tianming was able to resist the Destructive Thunder Power of the Thunder Pool for increasingly longer durations.
[Smart kid, you really catch on quick. I haven't given you any hints, but you already know how to cope!]
[Good, just like that, keep it up, and you'll become stronger!]
[Your teacher isn't so petty. I didn't put you in the Thunder Pool as revenge for the prank. This is the new training content I had already set up before class today, thinking you might complete your soul transformation. You'd better work hard and not disappoint me!]

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC70: Fourfold Thunder Baptism! Teacher Jiang Han, I want to kill you!
Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Fourfold Thunder Baptism! Teacher Jiang Han, I want to kill you!
Under the reminder of Jiang Han's heartfelt voice, Lin Tianming, who had been focusing on continually condensing his shattered Furious Thunder Armor, also discovered that his Furious Thunder Armor could now resist the thunder power of the Thunder Pond for a significantly longer time than at the beginning.
He hadn't expected that this training method, which seemed utterly inhumane to him, could actually train the defensive power of the Furious Thunder Armor plundered by Divine Hand.
Moreover, in the gaps between the shattering and re-condensing of the Furious Thunder Armor, his physical body had greatly enhanced its defensive capabilities through repeatedly enduring the destructive Thunder baptism.
His Level 16 aura was also steadily and gradually climbing.
Although he was still far from reaching the bottleneck of Level 17 to break through, this rate of level advancement was much higher than his usual gentle level advancement practice efficiency.
The new devilish training tailored for him by Teacher Jiang Han, which involved soaking in the Thunder Pond, as well as resting phases for Divine Hand's Plunder Ability and level advancement, all received training.
However, Lin Tianming's Spiritual Power Ascension ability hadn't felt the slightest bit of training yet.
Jiang Han claimed her newly designed training content could combine the effects of the previous three training methods, so why couldn't he feel any enhancement in soul power?
Just as Lin Tianming was gradually adapting to the Thunder Pond Baptism and could afford to spend less focus, thus freeing up more energy for thought, Jiang Han's devil-like words rang in his ears.
"Adapting pretty quickly, huh! Not bad, let's add a bit more!"
Upon hearing Jiang Han's devilish remarks, Lin Tianming internally remarked as expected.
On the surface, he pretended to be reaching his limit, weakly saying, "Teacher Jiang Han, I can't hold on anymore, this is already my limit, please... no more additions!"
Saying this, Lin Tianming attempted to escape the Thunder Pond.
But the next second, the familiar Thunder Chain struck him, piercing through his Furious Thunder Armor and suddenly exposing his body directly in the Thunder Pond, rendering him unable to move due to the electricity.
After shattering the Furious Thunder Armor, the Thunder Chain continued forward, penetrating his body and pulling out his soul.
Lin Tianming was all too familiar with this skill.
It was the Angry Thunder Soul Seal, previously used by Jiang Han for training his soul power: it could enhance the power of other Thunder Attribute Skills hitting him to double their force, reflecting the painful sensation back to his soul.
However, previous training sessions summoned falling thunder, and even if their power was doubled, it was far from the unleavened power of the Thunder Pond Baptism.
He was already electrocuted to death in the Thunder Pond today, and Teacher Jiang Han still thought the training intensity wasn't enough, doubling the Thunder Pond's power through the Angry Thunder Soul Seal.
She might as well take this chance to avenge being killed by her previous disciple!
"F*ck Jiang Han, you're a devil!"
Lin Tianming finally couldn't hold back and burst out with a curse.
Jiang Han stood calmly to the side, saying, "Brat, I told you this Thunder Pond soaking training was supposed to combine the effects of the previous three trainings. Just now, you only trained the Divine Hand and level advancement, of course, the last part—soul power refinement—had to be added!"
[This is perfect! The Angry Thunder Soul Seal pulling out this brat's soul can simultaneously train soul power, Divine Hand, and level breakthrough effects, grooming such a genius student, I'm really professional!]
Indeed, you are truly professional!
Yikes... something feels off...
Isn't the Angry Thunder Soul Seal supposed to only double the power?
Why does the destructive Thunder power of this Thunder Pond clearly feel much more than doubled!
Three... three times shouldn't be this painful!
It's... four times!
"Damn! Jiang Han!"
"Watch your language, young man, I spent several days and nights without proper sleep, revising the training content at night, adding details!"
[This brat doesn't appreciate my effort!]
Lin Tianming, of course, knew she was enhancing the training intensity wanting him to grow faster.
But this devilish training was too twisted; how could cursing be wrong?
Such high-pressure training, if not vented, would be suffocating!
Yelling out like that did make him feel a lot better.
At the same time, he still had a question.
"I asked you, isn't your Soul Seal only supposed to double the power? Why do I feel like the power of the Thunder Pond has grown at least four times? Are you trying to electrocute me to death?"
When this question was raised, Jiang Han smiled.
[The Angry Thunder Soul Seal was originally four times amplification, prickling both the body's soul and flesh.]
First, Jiang Han thought inwardly, then she responded to Lin Tianming's question.
"I never told you my Angry Thunder Soul Seal was just about doubling the painful power inflicted on you. You previously only experienced double pain through lightning striking your soul, a single aspect of the training, triggering only half of the Angry Thunder Soul Seal's effect.
The real Angry Thunder Soul Seal attacks both the soul and the physical body, doubling upon doubling pain stacking up, ultimately causing both soul and physical body to endure a four times amplified skill power.
Now, being in this Thunder Pond, your soul and body are attacked simultaneously, triggering the full effect of the Angry Thunder Soul Seal, naturally resulting in a fourfold effect of the Thunder Pond Baptism!"
Thunderstorm Frenzy!
Even if the repeatedly re-gathering Furious Thunder Armor became increasingly strong in defense, it was no match for the drastically increased fourfold destructive thunder power from the Thunder Pond harming Lin Tianming's body and soul.
At this rate, before Lin Tianming could endure until his Furious Thunder Armor matured to fully protect him in a four-times enhanced Thunder Pond, he would be electrocuted to death.

REINCARNATED AS A PLAYBOY: I CAN HEAR MY REBORN EXES' THOUGHTSC71 - 70: Quadruple Thunder Baptism! Teacher Jiang Han, I Want to Kill You! _2
Chapter 71: Chapter 70: Quadruple Thunder Baptism! Teacher Jiang Han, I Want to Kill You! _2
No choice, Lin Tianming had to use every trick in the book.
However, Thunderstorm Frenzy merely amplifies speed and attack; his desperate attempts to find any solution were futile.
"I really want to kill you! Jiang Han, is this how you teach students, ever heard of progressively intensifying training? It was enough to switch from falling thunder to Thunder Pool, I had just adjusted to the Thunder Pool, and you increased it fourfold, a normal person would have been electrocuted by you!"
[Silly boy, I am teaching according to your capabilities, it is exactly because you can endure it that I train you like this!]
Jiang Han did not respond, but her inner voice already showed that she was very hurt by Lin Tianming's complaints and misunderstandings.
Lin Tianming was just speaking his mind; he didn't truly resent her.
As he had thought before, to not break down under such intense training, there definitely needed to be an outlet to release the pent-up emotions.
At this moment, Lin Tianming was also thinking of ways to cope.
Spiritual Ability Transformation!
Temporarily abandoning his physical body, transforming into a soul spirit body, Lin Tianming found that this was even less effective than letting his physical body take the initial brunt.
Combined with the part of his soul that had been separated by Jiang Han receiving a fourfold pain amplification, he wouldn't last long.
Quickly regathering his physical body, exposing only that part of the soul marked by the Angry Thunder Soul Seal, Lin Tianming felt much better.
But this meant returning to square one, not solving the actual problem.
Thunder Wall!
Using the Thunder Wall to form barriers on all sides, Lin Tianming discovered that he could withstand the Thunder Pond baptism.
However, this pleasant surprise lasted for mere seconds before the Thunder Wall was destroyed.
But this didn't overly discourage Lin Tianming.
Those few seconds of breathing space were too vital for him to withstand the intense training of the Thunder Pond!
Thunder Wall and Furious Thunder Armor, further increasing his breathing time, would allow him to endure longer in the Thunder Pond.
Despite Lin Tianming being continuously electrocuted to the point of cursing non-stop and wanting to give up, he knew that the more time he spent in the Thunder Pond today, the greater his training results would extend.
Now that he had found a method, he hoped that he could endure a little longer, further stimulating his potential.
[This stinky kid finally found a method, but even so, he will last at most another half an hour before he can't hold up anymore.]
[I'm only training you, not harming you. I will pull you out the moment you can't endure any longer, stinky kid, always cursing me during training!]
Jiang Han's inner voice also confirmed for Lin Tianming that his current method was indeed the best plan to increase the duration of the Thunder Pond baptism.
The Thunder Wall and Furious Thunder Armor continually being destroyed rapidly by the Destructive Thunder of the Thunder Pond, Lin Tianming also kept regathering, taking short breaths.
Almost half an hour later, just as Jiang Han had predicted, Lin Tianming was almost at his limit.
[That should be enough, this silly boy is reaching his limit. I should time it right and pull him out.]
Listening to Jiang Han's inner voice, Lin Tianming carefully sensed his soul, level, and skills plundered by Divine Hand.
Compared to before entering the Thunder Pond, all had seen significant improvement.
The effects of the previous three types of training combined in this one today also pushed Lin Tianming's physical limits.
Moreover, today also brought him an additional benefit: the strength of his actual physical body also improved under the baptism of the Thunder Pond.
This was an improvement that had never occurred in previous training!
Though his current methods of resisting the Thunder Pond were nearly at their limits, Lin Tianming suddenly felt reluctant to come out, feeling like he could persist a bit longer, hoping to gain some extra benefits today!
[Has this silly fool been electrified silly? He's nearing his limit, and yet he's not howling in despair. Earlier, he was furious and even dared to curse me, his teacher!]
[Forget it, let's just pull him out first, lest he really gets electrocuted silly!]
Just as Jiang Han thought to pull Lin Tianming out, she was yelled at by Lin Tianming.
"Don't rush to pull me out yet!"
After a brief stupor, Jiang Han felt somewhat irritated by Lin Tianming.
[Stupid kid, you're almost at your limit, I kindly pull you out and you yell at me!]
[Is he blaming me for throwing him into the Thunder Pool and being angry at me, torturing himself in the Thunder Pool unwilling to come out, then making me regret it for the rest of my life?]
[I didn't intend to torture you, your body is not injured, under the protection of Furious Thunder Armor and Thunder Wall, it's just that your physical strength is almost exhausted! If you continue to stay in the Thunder Pool beyond the limit, then you will really get hurt!]
Despite her anger, Jiang Han could see that Lin Tianming really was at his limit; she still deeply cared for her beloved student.
For his sake, she must pull him out now!
The Lightning Whip flew toward Lin Tianming, Jiang Han intending to pull him out.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tianming, using the Destructive Thunder Power of the Thunder Pool, shattered her Lightning Whip.
"Damn kid, get out here!"
Jiang Han was truly anxious now.
Lin Tianming ignored Jiang Han and continued to soak in the Thunder Pool, contemplating how to extend his time inside.
Seeing that Lin Tianming's Thunder Wall and Furious Thunder Armor were about to disintegrate, and he had no extra strength to continue deploying these two skills, her attitude softened.
"I'm begging you, I'll admit my mistake, please come out obediently, staying longer will really hurt you, don't be sulky and hurt yourself!"
While speaking, Jiang Han sent another Lightning Whip over, thinking Lin Tianming would obediently come out this time.
Yet Lin Tianming still ignored her, using the Destructive Thunder from the Thunder Pool to prevent her from pulling him out.
Having no choice, Jiang Han, truly afraid of harming Lin Tianming's foundation, refrained from using the Lightning Whip and could only choose to withdraw the Thunder Pool.
This Thunder Pool was her Thunder Attribute Skill, and it was quite simple for her to withdraw it.
But just then, under her incredulous gaze, Lin Tianming's physical body gradually emitted a mechanical silvery light.
And under this silvery mechanical glow, Jiang Han could clearly sense that the strength of Lin Tianming's body had greatly increased.
In just a brief moment, Lin Tianming transformed into a body emitting mechanical radiance all over.
Normally, a machine hit by such intense thunder power would absolutely be damaged beyond repair.
But the mechanical radiance emitted from Lin Tianming's Mechanical Body perfectly withstood the intense baptism of a fourfold Thunder Pool.
Successfully achieving this step, Lin Tianming smiled.
This was the Mechanical Transformation skill he had learned from undergoing the Mechanical Ascension Pool Baptism with Alice in the Mechanical Secret Realm.
He hadn't had much chance to use this skill, so much so that he had almost forgotten that he could perform Mechanical Transformation.
Unexpectedly, this Mechanical Body formed from Mechanical Transformation could withstand the Destructive Thunder baptism of a fourfold Thunder Pool!
Pleasantly surprised, Lin Tianming's mind also flashed with the inscriptions on the Mechanical Stele next to the Mechanical Ascension Pool.
Flesh is frail, ascend mechanically!
Is this the so-called Mechanical Ascension Power?
Indeed strong!
