Chapter 62: The Monsters of the Calamity Land Penetrate! Lin Tianming Faces Monsters for the First Time!
Fortunately, Lin Tianming was foresighted. With Ye Qingxue's small appetite, she was full after eating just a little.
If he had listened to Ye Qingxue earlier, they would have wasted quite a lot.
Despite this, he still carried the vegetable pancake and clams that Ye Qingxue had ordered.
"No more... Brother Tianming... Qingxue really can't eat anymore. I'll leave the rest to you, hehe! Hic~"
As she spoke, Ye Qingxue let out a cute little burp.
She blinked at Lin Tianming somewhat embarrassedly, genuinely unable to eat any more.
Lin Tianming looked at the vegetable pancake and clams in his hand with a headache. He had no choice but to eat them himself.
Seeing Lin Tianming take a bite of the vegetable pancake, Ye Qingxue quickly leaned over and asked with a smile, "Does it taste like home?"
Lin Tianming shook his head. "No, the vegetable pancake in the capital tastes different from ours."
Hearing this, Ye Qingxue stretched her neck and took a small bite of the vegetable pancake in Lin Tianming's hand.
Under Lin Tianming's amused gaze, she commented, "This vegetable pancake tastes different in the capital, indeed not like home. I'll leave it to you, Brother Tianming! Hic~"
As she spoke, Ye Qingxue let out another burp.
Lin Tianming looked at the pancake that Ye Qingxue had bitten, feeling a bit reluctant. "You've already bitten it, how can I eat it?"
"Brother Tianming, I've eaten the things you've bitten, why can't you eat what I've bitten? Are you despising me?"
[Brother Tianming, how dare you despise the things I've eaten!]
Listening to her thoughts and words, Lin Tianming hesitated for a moment but then steeled himself and continued to eat the pancake.
Seeing Lin Tianming eating the pancake she had bitten, Ye Qingxue couldn't help but think wildly again.
[Does this count as an indirect kiss with Brother Tianming?]
[Ah! So embarrassing!]
Ever since being won over by him, Ye Qingxue had been full of wild thoughts, which Lin Tianming had gotten used to.
He didn't expose her little thoughts, letting her immerse in her own little world of fantasies.
The two continued to stroll down the snack street, chatting and laughing, their relationship further warming up.
Although Ye Qingxue was already full, she was still tempted by the delicious food on the street.
"They even sell cloud cakes here, Brother Tianming, let's buy some!"
Lin Tianming had just finished the clams and vegetable pancake that Ye Qingxue couldn't eat, and hearing that she was tempted again, he felt a headache coming on.
"Aren't you already full?"
Ye Qingxue, however, found an excuse for her gluttony. "This is a dessert after meals, we can eat some. Cloud cakes can be kept for a long time, and we can easily take them out to eat. We can buy more to bring back to the Imperial University of the Great Capital!"
Her excuse also tempted Lin Tianming. Indeed, cloud cakes could be bought in bulk and brought back to the Imperial University of the Great Capital as snacks.
"Alright, let's buy more cloud cakes to bring back."
"I knew Brother Tianming was the best!"
After buying two big bags of cloud cakes, Lin Tianming looked at the time and said, "Qingxue, it's almost noon. Shouldn't we..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, he sensed an extremely dangerous aura.
Although Ye Qingxue couldn't use her skills temporarily, she also sensed the dangerous aura.
Looking in the direction of the aura, they saw a man in black slowly walking towards them.
"Brother Tianming, this guy is suspicious."
[He has the aura of monsters from the Calamity Land. How could someone with the aura of monsters appear near the Imperial University of the Great Capital?]
Upon hearing Ye Qingxue's inner thoughts about the man having the aura of monsters from the Calamity Land, Lin Tianming's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, stop right there!"
Facing Lin Tianming's warning, the man in black grinned.
His gaping mouth was leaking strange black gas, looking extremely eerie.
He asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you students of the Imperial University of the Great Capital?"
Instantly, thunderous power surged around Lin Tianming, forming an angry thunder armor for protection as he sharply gazed at the man in black.
"So what if we are? So what if we aren't?"
Seeing that Lin Tianming wasn't afraid of him at all, the man in black's body began to twist more and more violently.
His laughter became more and more strange and horrifying. "In that case, I'll give you two choices: either join us, or die!"
As he spoke, the hidden aura of the monster from the Calamity Land exploded from the man in black.
Billowing black gas shot up to the sky, forming a grotesque and terrifying ghost face several stories high, spreading black gas that scared the nearby pedestrians into fleeing in panic.
Seeing this, Ye Qingxue's expression darkened.
[Damn it! Is the defense of the capital this poor? How did such a dangerous person with the aura of monsters pass through all the checks and get in?]
"It's the sweet scent of an SSS-level ability. Time for a feast!"
The grotesque ghost face locked onto Lin Tianming like a hunter spotting a delicious prey, its eyes full of greed.
As it spoke, the grotesque ghost face lunged at Lin Tianming.
"Brother Tianming, be careful!"
[This is Brother Tianming's first battle against monsters. He lacks combat experience. I wonder if he can hold up...]
[Damn it! If only I could use my skills, with my previous life's experience in dealing with monsters, I should be able to handle this!]
If Ye Qingxue could deal with this monster with her skills, then surely Lin Tianming, who could defeat her, could too!
Ye Qingxue's worried thoughts, instead of increasing Lin Tianming's pressure, boosted his confidence.
He was just inexperienced in fighting monsters. Today, he would use this man in black, tainted with monster aura, for practice!
Angry Thunder Armor, defend me!
Seeing that Lin Tianming wanted to use his Angry Thunder Armor to directly defend against the grotesque ghost face's attack, Ye Qingxue was shocked.
"Brother Tianming, you can't defend like that. It will corrode your thunder armor!"
Just as Ye Qingxue said, the grotesque ghost face, upon touching Lin Tianming's Angry Thunder Armor, did not use brute force to break it but instead adhered to it like a part of the armor, seeping inside without encountering any resistance.
This eerie and terrifying erosion caused Lin Tianming's expression to change dramatically. He immediately shattered the Angry Thunder Armor himself.
Soul Transformation!
In an instant, his body turned into an intangible soul form. Lin Tianming thought this would help him avoid the grotesque ghost face's attack, but he was wrong again.
The grotesque ghost face became even more excited upon seeing him in soul form, lunging at his intangible spirit.
"Brother Tianming, monsters from the Calamity Land all have soul attacks. This man in black must be possessed by a high-level monster. He is no longer himself. You'd better avoid using soul transformation, it will make it harder to deal with him!"
However, it was too late by the time Ye Qingxue said this. The grotesque ghost face had already hit Lin Tianming's soul form.
This scene terrified Ye Qingxue, making her face turn pale.
[It's over! Brother Tianming won't die, right?]
Unexpectedly, Lin Tianming's body emitted the light of spiritual ascension that he had shown during their morning battle.
The flashing light of spiritual ascension instantly scared the grotesque ghost face, making it retreat as if it had encountered a deity that could crush it at will.
Lin Tianming himself noticed that the grotesque ghost face feared his spiritual ascension power, boosting his confidence.
Even the deity of the Spiritual Ascension Divine Kingdom was defeated by him, and a mere ghost thought it could consume him?
Soul Spark!
The boiling and burning soul spark erupted with even stronger spiritual ascension power as Lin Tianming unleashed it.
This scene also surprised Lin Tianming.
He had never seen the soul spark exhibit such strong power before. Why did it erupt with such terrifying might when facing the grotesque ghost face?
Could it be that the spiritual ascension power was the natural nemesis of such soul-form monsters?
With this thought, Lin Tianming, full of confidence, unleashed a soul spark several times stronger than usual.
The powerful spiritual ascension power instantly ignited the grotesque ghost face upon contact.
In just a moment, the grotesque ghost face was burned to ashes by Lin Tianming.
Seeing Lin Tianming easily destroy his grotesque ghost face, the man in black was so scared that he trembled all over, retreating step by step.
Lin Tianming took steps forward, his body surging with storm-like spiritual ascension power.
"Now it's your turn!"
Spiritual Storm!
