"Playing like this every time, I really want to kill you, Jiang Han!"

"You little brat, ever heard of respect for your teacher and the path? No foul language in front of your teacher!"

Thunder Awakening Venue.

Familiar smells, familiar feelings, familiar people...

Ever since Jiang Han came back, Lin Tianming was already at Level 55, yet he still had to endure Jiang Han's intense training to exploit his potential to the limit.

Under the high-pressure training regime, Lin Tianming definitely needed to vent his emotions so as not to go insane, which meant he had to curse to relieve his stress.

Jiang Han knew that such rigorous training could make Lin Tianming hold it in until he became mentally ill, so in her heart, she allowed him to do so.

However, she still needed to maintain the image of a teacher outwardly.

[It's about time, Tianming is due for a breakthrough to Level 56, it looks like his Divine Hand Duplicate is about to improve again!]

Under Jiang Han's constant attention, Lin Tianming's Divine Hand Duplicate surged with power as his breakthrough drew near.

Others might not understand this was the power of Divine Hand Duplicate, but Jiang Han, as the progenitor in the previous life and Lin Tianming's mentor in this one.

She could distinctly recognize what was Divine Hand Duplicate and what was Divine Hand's Plunder.

That subtle difference in power, aside from Lin Tianming himself, only she knew best.

It can be said that Jiang Han is the person in this world who understands Lin Tianming the most.

Even Ye Qingxue couldn't compare to Teacher Jiang Han.

Having cultivated with Jiang Han for so long, Lin Tianming also greatly trusted her judgment.

At this moment, he also felt he was about to break through Level 56.

Carefully sensing the changes in Divine Hand Duplicate, it truly was, as Jiang Han had predicted inwardly, time for Divine Hand Duplicate to improve.

Once he breaks through Level 56, his Divine Hand Duplicate would undergo a complete transformation!

With this in mind, Lin Tianming continued to immerse the part of his soul pulled out by the Angry Thunder Soul Seal in the Thunder Pool.

Occasionally receiving hits from Heavenly Thunder.

That Destructive Thunder Power, even with Lin Tianming's Extreme Defense, would shatter in an instant.

Fortunately, he had long since adapted; upon shattering, he would instantly activate all his defense mechanisms, cycling repeatedly.

Basically, all Defense Skills, including his all-around Combat Power, could be gradually improved under Teacher Jiang Han's thunderous baptism.

This could be considered the most comprehensive and efficient way of intensive training for improving all aspects of Lin Tianming's abilities.

"Still a little bit more, let's up the ante, increase the power of the Thunder Pool by ten percent, and you should be able to break through to Level 56!"

???

Hearing Jiang Han suddenly mention increasing the existing Thunder Pool's power by ten percent, Lin Tianming was dumbfounded.

He could break through Level 56 with normal cultivation, Jiang Han must be crazy wanting him to break through Level 56 so soon!

"Don't, Teacher Jiang Han, with the Angry Thunder Soul Seal's fourfold increase, that's a forty percent increase in power, you're plotting a murder! Even with this intensity, I can still make the breakthrough, just slower!"

"No worries, you're about to break through, such an increase won't matter to you after the breakthrough!"

There was no room for bargaining, Jiang Han instantly ramped up the Thunder Pool's power by ten percent.

Then, being amplified fourfold by the Angry Thunder Soul Seal, the suddenly increased forty percent power in the Thunder Pool made Lin Tianming involuntarily curse out loud.

"Damn you, Jiang Han... just you wait, when one day I become stronger than you, I'll make sure you get to experience this feeling too!"

"Talking nonsense again, how many times have I told you, don't talk to your teacher like that, you need to learn to respect your teacher and the way, be polite!"

Jiang Han was somewhat angry.

Lin Tianming has become increasingly unabashed in his behavior around her.

If this continues, she might really struggle to keep this playful student under control in the future...

But upon further thought, Jiang Han didn't actually mind bickering with Lin Tianming.

Reflecting on the past year, she even considered these moments as precious memories to cherish between the mentor and apprentice.

Although Lin Tianming himself underwent the terrifying baptism of thunder, it accelerated his push towards Level 56.

When the strength within his body rose to a point where the Level 55 restraints could no longer bind him, Lin Tianming kicked open the door to Level 56 and officially stepped inside.

Having successfully ascended to Level 56, Lin Tianming's combat power naturally saw a comprehensive boost.

The original 40% enhancement from the Thunder Pool now felt like mere tickling.

"Friend Tianming, let's see what enhancements your Divine Hand Duplicate has gained now!"

Heeding Teacher Jiang Han's reminder, Lin Tianming nodded slightly and carefully sensed his abilities.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"My Divine Hand Duplicate can now duplicate thirty skills!"

"Thirty skills, if all are Duplicate Super Position Forbidden Curse, that power... Friend Tianming, now you must restrain yourself and treat it as a trump card; you can't recklessly use this power!"

Jiang Han expressed her happiness for Lin Tianming, while also cautioning him.

With thirty duplicated skills all in hand, especially if they're all Duplicate Super Position Forbidden Curse, Lin Tianming would possess a lethality that could be even more terrifying than the majority of Top Awakened if he turned to evil!

Of course, Lin Tianming knew to control himself; he wasn't a murderous fiend, after all. He wouldn't misuse his power just because he had it.

"Don't worry, Teacher Jiang Han, I definitely won't mess around. I'm your student, and I definitely have to consider how my actions might affect your reputation!"

Lin Tianming's answer pleased Jiang Han.

[This silly kid... still knows that whatever he does outside could affect my reputation...]

[He cares about his teacher, Tianming really is a good kid in this life...]

Jiang Han said with satisfaction, "Friend Tianming, very good. Speaking of the reward you mentioned before, I haven't given it to you since I came back. I'll give it to you today!"

"Reward, what reward?"

Lin Tianming was initially puzzled, but he quickly realized what it was about.

"Teacher Jiang Han, are you serious? You're really going to use a kiss as a reward?"

As she was about to kiss Lin Tianming, Teacher Jiang Han, although a teacher, still felt a bit shy.

"I, Jiang Han, keep my word. You rascal, close your eyes and no peeking!"

Seeing Jiang Han was serious, Lin Tianming complied and closed his eyes.

Almost the moment he closed them, he felt a cool touch on his lips.

Although it was just a brief touch, the fleeting unique fragrance of Teacher Jiang Han was quite memorable for Lin Tianming.

Noticing Lin Tianming's expression still savoring the moment, Jiang Han felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

"You rascal, don't let your thoughts run wild because of this kiss. It's just a teacher's reward for your victory in the big competition!"

"Hehe, Teacher Jiang Han... I wasn't thinking wildly!"

Seeing Lin Tianming's somewhat sheepish look, Jiang Han simply gave him an alluring glare and didn't take it any further.

Remembering there was something especially important to tell Lin Tianming, Jiang Han said, "There's another matter I need to discuss with you today. Friend Tianming, tomorrow you and I will take a trip to the Land of Calamity together."

"What are we going to the Land of Calamity for?"

Lin Tianming appeared puzzled, but Jiang Han's next words made his eyes widen.

"I'm preparing for divine ascension. I just want to take you with me, to let you witness in advance what divine ascension entails, so you have a better foundation when it's your turn in the future."
