[Cultivating for such a long time and finally calming down, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I've been tricked by that bad guy, Tianming!]

[Just now, because I was in a hurry to explain why I didn't inform my students about the specific location of the opportunity in the Beiyin Domain in advance, he kept leading me by the nose, and my mind was so muddled that I absent-mindedly agreed to travel with him!]

[It's definitely right, he must have sensed that I knew the location of the opportunity here, purposely provoked me, and didn't give me time to think, just to take advantage of me!]

[Damn it... I still fell for his trick, this so-called 'splitting it fifty-fifty'... If I cultivated here alone, I could have increased my level by at least four!]

As Tianming listened to Alice's belated realization, he was nearly in stitches on the inside.

However, in order to prevent her from getting more furious the more she thought about it, and from her impulses to hit someone, Tianming decided to try and soothe her mood.

"Alice, open your mouth, I've got something tasty for you!"

[This Tianming guy... isn't he just plotting another trick to continue exploiting my remaining value?]

[I won't be led around by the nose again, I'll do the opposite of whatever he says!]

[Right... Just like that!]

Now that Alice had figured out what's going on, she didn't trust Tianming one bit.

She turned her little face aside, with a little expression that screamed she wouldn't believe whatever Tianming said.

This Alice is in her rebellious phase!

When Tianming heard Alice's intention to do the opposite of what he said, he couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

He really hadn't planned to trick her this time; he was offering her a treat as a token of appreciation for bringing him here.

"Alice, be good, I'm really offering you something delicious!"

Alice remained silent.

The more she thought about how she had been tricked by Tianming, the more she turned her whole body away from him.

With a posture that said no matter how he coaxed, she was not going to be appeased!

Tianming was not fazed by this tactic; after all, he had been through similar situations with Ye Qingxue.

"Alice, if you don't behave, for your own good, I'll have to feed you myself!"

As soon as Tianming made a comment akin to forcing a situation, Alice, who was already sulking, became infuriated.

She turned around, glaring at Tianming with her little face fuming.

"How dare you! Mmm mmm mmm... you big jerk... what did you... stuff in my mouth?"

The moment she opened her mouth, Alice realized she had fallen for Tianming's cunning strategy again.

Tianming, pulling who-knows-what out of thin air, stuffed it directly into her mouth.

Her cheeks puffed up with fury, she could hardly speak clearly.

As she watched Tianming's smile, she was about to get up and fight him but found out...

This thing actually tastes pretty good!

And more than that, after swallowing it, she felt a powerful and rampant energy surging within her body.

If she could absorb this energy, although she might not break through to Level 48 directly, it would definitely boost her cultivation of superpower significantly.

[This bad guy... did he actually give me a piece of the opportunity?]

[Did I misunderstand him?]

After a moment of shock, Alice glanced at the still smiling Tianming once more, somewhat embarrassed, she hung her head low and swallowed the rest of the stuff in her mouth.

Hesitating for a moment, she still couldn't help but raise her head and asked Tianming curiously.

"What exactly is this thing? How can eating it provide such a substantial amount of superpower?"

"It's the Red Blood Jiao Long you've been dreaming about. Did you fail to recognize it after I skinned it and removed the bones, then parboiled it into chunks?"

With Tianming's explanation, Alice suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"You actually didn't use it all up?"

"That Red Blood Jiao Dragon was so huge; how could I have finished it so quickly? Here, open your mouth!"

Upon hearing Lin Tianming ask her to open her mouth again, Alice instinctively tensed up.

"What, what, what... are you trying to do now?"

"I'm giving you another piece. Hurry up and absorb the energy to cultivate. The Secret Realm is about to close!"

During the conversation, Lin Tianming stuffed another large piece of cooked Red Blood Jiao Dragon Meat into Alice's mouth.

Although Lin Tianming had given her two pieces of Red Blood Jiao Dragon Meat, which touched her,

she still protested his action of forcibly feeding her.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh... I'll eat it... but why do you always like to do this... Blocking my mouth... It's too rough... I protest!"

"Protest what? Hurry up and cultivate. Don't end up not absorbing it all when we get out!"

Under Lin Tianming's urging, Alice, in a rush to keep to the time, absorbed the overbearing energy of the Red Blood Jiao Dragon while slowly swallowing the meat that Lin Tianming had stuffed into her mouth.

Once the Red Blood Jiao Dragon Meat reached her stomach, Alice quickly transformed it into a pure new superpower to use for her leveling up.

Soon, she finished absorbing the two large pieces of Red Blood Jiao Dragon Meat.

Seeing Lin Tianming suddenly getting his face close to hers again, Alice, who had been forcefully fed Red Blood Jiao Dragon Meat by Lin Tianming's domineering attitude twice, immediately reacted.

"Again... still going?"

"What do you mean, going? I just want to see how well you've absorbed it and if you can get up. We should leave here too, lest we exceed the time and everyone else is teleported out, leaving us trapped here!"

Lin Tianming's words allowed Alice to breathe a sigh of relief.

[Finally, it's over...]

[Although this bad guy... isn't all that bad... he even shared a bit of his fortune with me...]

[Although I gave him more, at least this life's Tianming knows gratitude, unlike the last life where he only plundered and trampled and humiliated me, using me as a tool for treasure hunting, not caring about my injuries...]

Hearing her heart's voice which obviously showed a significant improvement in her impression of him, Lin Tianming was also very pleased.

These two pieces of Red Blood Jiao Dragon Meat were worth the expense!

However, thinking about the imminent closure of the Red Sea Secret Realm, to avoid the possibility of not being able to be teleported out collectively, Lin Tianming reminded Alice again.

"Alice, are you still dazed? We should leave now!"

"Oh... this... let's leave right now!"

With a flustered response, Alice quickly followed Lin Tianming and left the area.

After returning to the area outside of the Sealing Restriction, the figures of Lin Tianming and Alice were once again captured by the surveillance camera.

In the spectator stands, Jiang Han, who had been terribly worried for Lin Tianming, saw his unharmed figure, and her hanging heart immediately let go.

"It's good that nothing happened... this child... always likes to have people on tenterhooks... when he comes out later, I must have a good talk with him!"

Despite her relentless complaints, Jiang Han was very happy in her heart.

However, her relief was short-lived, as the violent trembling of the Red Sea Secret Realm in all the screens once again raised her anxiety.

The Demonic Qi that only appears in the Land of Calamity was rapidly spreading across all screens.

A huge Ghost Warship, with dim lights flickering, slowly sailed out of the stirring black fog of Demonic Qi.

This scene was also seen by the global audience watching the live broadcast of the competition.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

"This... This seems like the Demonic Qi that only occurs in the Land of Calamity!"

"What... What's happening? Why is there Demonic Qi appearing in the Global High-level Awakened Academy Competition? That... What's that flashing dim light in the mist of Demonic Qi? Wait... it's coming out! Is that an ancient, dilapidated Ghost Warship?"

"None of the previous Global High-level Awakened Academy Competitions have ever had such an incident... Is this a demon invasion? A demon invasion from the Land of Calamity during the competition... This is definitely a major live broadcast accident!"
