After parting with Saintess Sofia of the Bright Holy Sect, Lin Tianming did not rush to absorb the two Light and Shadow Fragments he had obtained.

He quickly descended first, to make sure Sofia was not in pursuit, before Lin Tianming gradually slowed his descent.

Reaching the third layer of the Red Secret Realm, Lin Tianming hoped to continue finding overlooked opportunities here.

Unfortunately, when Lin Tianming dove down to the fourth layer, he also didn't find any chances to scrounge in the third layer.

Ignoring those Level 30 or so opportunities, Lin Tianming went straight into the fourth layer.

From the third layer just now, other competitors were already nowhere to be seen.

Now entering the fourth layer, with Level 40 opportunities, it was even less likely to encounter first-year students other than the Goddess Reincarnators.

"Is this... Red Blood Coral?"

Very quickly, Lin Tianming found the first piece of serendipity here that surprised him.

Recalling the theoretical knowledge learned previously from the pre-Awakener Academy, Lin Tianming recognized that the red corals nearby were completely different from those several layers above.

The red corals nearby, called Red Blood Coral, were very helpful for the cultivation of Awakeners around Level 40.

However, these Red Blood Corals were mixed with regular corals, and actually, when counted carefully, they weren't many.

There was no one in sight around here. Although there weren't many Red Blood Corals, there were still enough for Lin Tianming's use.

Just as he was about to collect them, a deafening roar of a Jiao Dragon echoed nearby.

Looking in the direction of the sound, out of nowhere in the coral clusters swam out a reddish Jiao Dragon-like Awakened Beast.

And this reddish Jiao Dragon Awakened Beast was emitting a Level 48 aura.

Rapidly searching his memory, Lin Tianming quickly identified its specific identity.

"It's the Red Blood Jiao Dragon, which loves to live among dense corals, ambushing sea Awakened Beasts that get close to the corals!"

As Lin Tianming identified this Red Blood Jiao Dragon Awakened Beast, it let out another Dragon Roar.

The powerful sonar attack shook the water, causing an extremely strong impact on Lin Tianming.

"It is said that the Red Blood Jiao Dragon, when facing ordinary Awakened Beasts and humans, has the ability to kill above its own level. Records show that the Red Blood Jiao Dragon once killed a High-level Awakened human... It seems to be true!"

A Level 48 Red Blood Jiao Dragon was already ranked above Lin Tianming. If this Jiao Dragon was one of the best in their species, then its Peak Combat Power would reach around the level of an ordinary Awakener of Over 50 levels.

But even so, Lin Tianming wouldn't be afraid of it!

At Level 20, he could kill demons and Deceit God believers of Over 50 levels without resorting to Super Position Forbidden Curse and Duplicate.

Not to mention he was now Level 44!

Comparing the ability to fight across levels?

This Red Blood Jiao Dragon still needs more practice!

Watching the Red Blood Jiao Dragon launch a Dragon Roar at him, Lin Tianming used the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, which couldn't be extinguished even in water, to easily block the offensive of the Red Blood Jiao Dragon.

At the same time, he also controlled the Yang Fire Thunder, equally unquenchable, and slammed the Extremely Yang and Strong Yang Thunder toward the Red Blood Jiao Dragon.

The mixture of thunder and fire attributes caused the surrounding water to quickly become electrified and its temperature to rise sharply.

The scalding water made the Red Blood Jiao Dragon shriek as if it were scalded.

The dense electrical charge also made the Red Blood Jiao Dragon's screams even more miserable.

"Is this the prowess of the Red Blood Jiao Dragon that can kill across ten levels? That's all there is to it!"

Wearing a confident smile, Lin Tianming pursues his victory.

The Red Blood Jiao Dragon realized it couldn't defeat Lin Tianming and hurriedly scrambled away in another direction.

"Trying to run? You think you can escape!"

Lin Tianming instantly appeared in front of the Red Blood Jiao Dragon and, with the scorching Yang Fire Thunder, directly slammed into the dragon's face.

"I've never eaten dragon meat in my life, today I shall have a good taste!"

Hearing Lin Tianming saying he was going to eat dragon meat, the Red Blood Jiao Dragon shuddered all over as it was knocked deeper by Lin Tianming.

It tried to swim away again, but to Lin Tianming, its speed was laughably slow.

To catch up with it, Lin Tianming didn't even need to invoke the Golden Light Thunder!

"If you'd stayed hidden in the coral when I was collecting the Red Blood Coral, I wouldn't have bothered with you.

But you dare to seek me out actively, and even want to eat me, then prepare to be eaten by me instead!"

Lin Tianming easily intercepted the Red Blood Jiao Dragon once more, grabbed its dragon horns, and washed it with the scorching Yang Fire Thunder.

Under the electrocution and scorching of Yang Fire Thunder, the boiling seawater continuously burnt the Red Blood Jiao Dragon as well.

After struggling for a short while, the Red Blood Jiao Dragon lost its life force to Lin Tianming's electric assault.

"It seems I can't enjoy barbecue in the sea, only spicy hotpot or hotpot... then let's go with the Red Blood Jiao Dragon hotpot!"

Lin Tianming, looking at his spoils, the Red Blood Jiao Dragon, had his eyes filled with the desire to feast, drooling with anticipation.

But eager to taste dragon meat, Lin Tianming didn't care that he was being broadcast live globally, and began to strip the dragon's tendons and peel off its skin on the spot.

Then he cut the massive Red Blood Jiao Dragon into countless chunks, proceeding to the step of scalding the dragon meat.

Lin Tianming used the scorching Yang Fire Thunder to heat the surrounding seawater to a boiling point, specifically to scald the dragon meat.

Even though Lin Tianming hadn't tasted it yet, he was already salivating.

"It's a pity there's no pot; otherwise, it would be perfect. Later, when I get out, I'll bring some to Teacher Jiang Han to pay my respects!"

After all the Red Blood Jiao Dragon meat was cooked, Lin Tianming put the leftovers he couldn't eat into his storage space.

Then, under the stunned gaze of the global audience, Lin Tianming began feasting heartily.

"Is this the scene of the Global High-level Awakened Academy Competition or a chef showdown? Why do I feel like I'm watching a gourmet show!"

"Lin Tianming is too outrageous, isn't he? It's one thing to slay a Level 48 Red Blood Jiao Dragon beyond his level, but he's actually... actually making Red Blood Jiao Dragon hotpot on the spot!"

"It's making my mouth water! Is this the joy of being an Awakener? Using Red Blood Jiao Dragon as hotpot ingredients, I really want to taste it!"

"To eat dragon meat cooked at the Global High-level Awakened Academy Competition site, he's definitely the first one to do so! Lin Tianming has really shaken things up, he's had too many spotlight moments today!"

In the stands at the competition site, Jiang Han, as Lin Tianming's teacher, was also stunned.

But after a moment, thinking of her prized student Lin Tianming doing this, she revealed a knowing smile.

This was indeed in line with Lin Tianming's behavior in this life!

The teachers from various academies throughout Jiuzhou were congratulating Jiang Han, having taken in a prodigious talent like Lin Tianming who could slay the Red Blood Jiao Dragon beyond his level.

The other domain teachers in the stands were also dumbfounded.

Lin Tianming was definitely the most extraordinary Genius Awakener they've ever seen in their lives.

A peculiarity is one thing, but this kid was also impossibly strong, surpassing his peers to an extent where others couldn't say much about his bizarre behavior!

When someone has talent and strength, even if they do something peculiar, they don't need to explain themselves. Others will find justifications for them and continue to praise them alongside.

Perhaps it's precisely because of such an unusual character that he was able to shine so brightly at the Global High-level Awakened Academy Competition today?
