Chapter 81: The Awakening Battle Group Intervenes in the Investigation! Senior Sister Hua Yufei Comes to the Rescue!

Absorbing the Fire Spirit Pearl and understanding the fire attribute ability skill, Lin Tianming did not expect that by just having a fleeting thought about Wang Yanran's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, he would learn it effortlessly.

Having learned a new fire attribute ability skill without consuming any of the plundering counts of the Hand of God, Lin Tianming felt tempted to gather more Fire Spirit Pearls, the elemental power crystals produced after the death of divine realm monsters.

Perhaps he could exploit this bug-like method to infinitely plunder and learn all of Wang Yanran's fire attribute skills!

Right in front of him was a reincarnated Fire God. It would be a shame not to learn her skills!

However, he could only think about it. Killing this divine realm monster, the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, was only possible because it forcibly crawled out of an incompletely broken seal in the demon tomb, causing its level to drop to eighty.

Otherwise, with his current strength, it would have been impossible to gain such an advantage, absorbing the elemental attribute power crystal of a divine realm monster at just over a dozen levels.

Carefully feeling the defensive power of the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, Lin Tianming found that this godly domain growth skill he learned through plundering had much lower defense compared to the one copied from Wang Yanran.

"I've learned Senior Sister Yanran's Phoenix Flame Divine Shield. At my current level, its defensive power can definitely crush all conventional attack skills, but it's still far inferior to Senior Sister Yanran's. It can't withstand super-tier forbidden spells, which is a bit disappointing!"

Hearing Lin Tianming's insatiable comment, Wang Yanran's pretty face turned angry. She extended her jade hand and flicked Lin Tianming's forehead.

"You're too greedy! You want a defensive skill that can withstand super-tier forbidden spells at just over ten levels? Wouldn't that make you invincible? Be content with learning my Phoenix Flame Divine Shield at just over ten levels! How dare you complain that it can't withstand super-tier forbidden spells!"

[Scoundrel! Learning my godly domain skill without my consent and still complaining about its defense, how detestable!]

Lin Tianming could feel that after this ordeal, Wang Yanran's murderous intent towards him had lessened considerably.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Tianming decided to work harder to improve Wang Yanran's favorability.

In the Imperial Capital Emperor Academy, Wang Yanran had the most intense killing intent towards him because, in the previous life, she was tainted by the original owner despite not knowing him at all, with no emotional foundation.

If he could take this opportunity to improve Wang Yanran's favorability, he could walk in the small forest with peace of mind, without worrying about being suddenly attacked.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianming rubbed his forehead and immediately corrected his attitude: "Yes, yes! I'm content. This is Senior Sister Yanran's skill, I must cherish it, just like I cherish my relationship with Senior Sister Yanran!"

As he spoke, Lin Tianming hugged Wang Yanran tighter.

"You…let go!"

[This rogue…he's at it again!]

"I won't let go. Senior Sister Yanran likes me, and I like Senior Sister Yanran. It's perfectly normal for couples to hug."

Unable to outmatch Lin Tianming, Wang Yanran had no choice but to give up. Exhausted from almost depleting her strength, she was also a bit tired.

"Let's go back to the Imperial Capital Emperor Academy first, Junior Brother Tianming. I'm a bit tired now…"

[Just for today…too tired, I'll let this scum who tainted my body off for now!]

Finding herself a comforting reason, Wang Yanran felt much more at ease leaning in Lin Tianming's arms, not as resistant as before.

Seeing Wang Yanran so exhausted, Lin Tianming decided to take her back to the Imperial Capital Emperor Academy.

Following the only bright spot, they slowly walked out of the underground Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider's nest, discovering that the nearby pedestrians were watching him and Wang Yanran from a distance.

The nearby dark alley wall had been smashed because the egg cake shop had revealed the true face of the demon nest.

The blogger who was filming the riding video stood beside the tent with a terrified expression, looking at Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran.

"The egg cake…how did the egg cake shop turn into a haunted house? And…that young couple came out from inside…Dear viewers, I must have encountered the legendary monsters!"

Lin Tianming glanced at the eerie Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider nest ruins around him, realizing the atmosphere indeed looked quite creepy and horrifying.

Without paying attention to the riding blogger or the surrounding pedestrians, Lin Tianming, worried about causing more commotion, decided to leave immediately.

Just as Lin Tianming was about to leave with Wang Yanran, a group of awakeners exuding a powerful aura swiftly approached.

"Don't move! We are members of the Seventh Squad of the Imperial Awakening Battle Group responsible for maintaining daily order around Tianhui Plaza. We detected a significant fluctuation of monster aura here. Please cooperate with the investigation and come with us!"

Members of the Imperial Awakening Battle Group again?

If Lin Tianming remembered correctly, Hua Yufei was the captain of the Fifth Squad of the Imperial Awakening Battle Group, but now this group was from the Seventh Squad responsible for the Tianhui Plaza district.

Although Wang Yanran was very tired now, she wasn't so exhausted that she couldn't speak.

Upon hearing that the members of the Imperial Awakening Battle Group wanted to take them away, Wang Yanran immediately revealed her identity.

"I am Wang Yanran, the daughter of the head of the Wang family, one of the four great awakening families in the Imperial Capital, and also a student of the Imperial Capital Emperor Academy. Friends from the Imperial Awakening Battle Group, could you let us return to the Imperial Capital Emperor Academy first?"

She thought that revealing her identity would make them let them go, but the Seventh Squad members were determined to take them away.

"Recently, monsters possessed by demons have been appearing frequently throughout the Imperial Capital. We are in a period of high alert. Even if Miss Wang and your friend are innocent, we still need you to come with us and provide detailed information about your encounter here. This is to maintain the stability of the Imperial Capital. We hope Miss Wang can understand!"

Wang Yanran's identity as the daughter of the head of the Wang family had some effect; at least the Seventh Squad members spoke more politely.

Although their tone improved, a trace of anger still flashed in Wang Yanran's beautiful eyes. "You…"

This time, before Wang Yanran could finish her sentence, Lin Tianming used his finger to block her small mouth.

"Forget it, Senior Sister, it's not a big deal. Let's go with them and tell them what we know so they can carry out their monster extermination work."

"That's more like it, young brother. Miss Wang, please?"

Wang Yanran glanced at the Seventh Squad members, then leaned on Lin Tianming's chest, and the two of them followed the members of the Awakening Battle Group.

The egg cake shop, which had shed its disguise to reveal the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider nest, was strictly sealed off by the Fifth Squad, who conducted their investigation.

At the base of the Fifth Squad of the Imperial Awakening Battle Group in the Tianhui Plaza district, Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran were separated for questioning.

They only confessed that they were attacked by a demon-possessed monster and did not reveal the secret of the divine realm monster.

The highest level among them was Wang Yanran, who was only at level fifty-five, while Lin Tianming was just at level sixteen.

If they revealed that they had teamed up to kill the Ghost-faced Fire Spirit Spider, it would only make things more complicated.

Without extracting any other information, and after verifying that Wang Yanran was indeed the daughter of the head of the Wang family, they were afraid of causing displeasure to the Wang family and released Wang Yanran first.

But Lin Tianming was still not released.

"Where is my junior brother Tianming?"

"Miss Wang, please rest assured. We have some more questions for your junior brother. Once we finish, we will let him return to the Imperial Capital Emperor Academy. There's no need to worry, please go back first."

Hearing that the Seventh Squad members deliberately kept Lin Tianming for questioning, Wang Yanran's face darkened. "I order you to release him immediately. We have said everything we should. If you don't release him, I don't mind using the power of the Wang family!"

While Wang Yanran was getting angry about Lin Tianming being detained by the Seventh Squad members, Lin Tianming was still being questioned.

"Lin Tianming, according to our investigation of the scene, the underground energy fluctuations of that monster nest far exceed level fifty-five. There were even traces of super-tier forbidden spell power. How did you kill the demon-possessed monster?"

"I've already said everything. Senior Sister Yanran possesses combat power far beyond her level. I assisted her, and we barely managed to kill the demon-possessed monster. You saw it too, Senior Sister Yanran exhausted all her strength."

Lin Tianming did not let any information slip. To avoid unnecessary trouble, he wouldn't reveal more.

"My instinct tells me you two are hiding something. Please, young brother, tell us the truth and provide more clues about the monsters. This is crucial for us to track down the monsters infiltrating the Imperial Capital. If you don't talk, I have plenty of time to wait until you do!"

Fearing Wang Yanran's powerful family, the Seventh Squad of the Imperial Awakening Battle Group dared not detain her for long.

But Lin Tianming had no such background, so they let Wang Yanran go first and focused their questioning on Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming was determined not to reveal anything more, thus stalling in the Seventh Squad's base.

Several people took turns questioning him, trying to wear down his patience and get him to talk, but Lin Tianming didn't divulge any additional information.

Just as the Seventh Squad members were losing patience and considering using unconventional methods to make Lin Tianming speak, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly opened by a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy.

"I have already reported Lin Tianming's situation to the higher-ups. Your Seventh Squad can stop handling this matter. Lin Tianming will be fully dealt with by our Fifth Squad!"

Upon seeing the fairy-like beautiful woman who had come to take him away, Lin Tianming immediately recognized her identity.

Hua Yufei, the captain of the Fifth Squad of the Awakening Battle Group, and his senior sister who had graduated a year earlier!
