Chapter 27: The First Lesson of the Semester! A Fierce Battle with the Thunder Wrath Bear!

Jiang Han’s inner voice was full of grief and indignation, but she maintained a composed exterior.

If Lin Tianming couldn’t eavesdrop on her thoughts, he would have no idea how much she loathed him.

Having barely escaped Wang Yanran’s clutches through cleverness last night, Lin Tianming now faced Jiang Han, who harbored similar murderous intentions towards him. The pressure was immense.

In his interactions with Jiang Han, Lin Tianming had to tread carefully, avoiding any missteps that could lead to a sudden attack and his demise.

“I didn’t expect to be the only student… Well then, Teacher Jiang Han, what is our first lesson today?”

Upon mentioning today’s first lesson, a slight smile appeared at the corners of Jiang Han’s mouth.

She snapped her fingers, and a furious roar echoed through the lightning awakening field, specially prepared for those with lightning abilities.

Immediately, a gigantic bear, taller than two Jiang Hans combined, slowly materialized beside her.

This enormous bear, surrounded by crackling lightning, was the source of the deafening roar.

After summoning the bear, Jiang Han explained the rules of today’s lesson to Lin Tianming.

“This is a level fifteen Thunder Wrath Bear. Your first lesson today, Tianming, is to masterfully use your God’s Hand in combat to defeat this Thunder Wrath Bear.

The Thunder Wrath Bear has extremely formidable defense. Even if you copy its skills, you may not be able to deal with it effectively. But if you’re hit by its skills, your defenses won’t hold for long, and you’ll be defeated in a few moves.

This lesson is meticulously tailored for you. I hope you won’t disappoint me. Think of a way to defeat it.

Oh, and during the battle, you’re only allowed to copy its skills. Don’t even think about copying my skills to gain an advantage!”

[Tianming, like Feng Lan, entered the Imperial Capital’s Great Emperor Academy with only a level nine in the previous life. I arranged for a level nine Thunder Wrath Bear for him then.]

[This time, due to my rebirth, both he and Feng Lan entered at higher levels. Although they still face a same-level Thunder Wrath Bear, a level fifteen Thunder Wrath Bear has an additional skill compared to the level nine one. I wonder if this life’s Lin Tianming can defeat a Thunder Wrath Bear with an extra skill.]

Listening to Jiang Han’s thoughts, Lin Tianming gleaned some information.

The new skill learned by the Thunder Wrath Bear at level fifteen was key to its dramatic increase in combat power, making it far stronger than facing a same-level opponent at level nine.

Realizing Jiang Han had set him against such a powerful beast specifically targeting his copying ability, Lin Tianming’s eyes narrowed slightly.

With a swift flash of lightning, Jiang Han appeared at a distance.

She called out to Lin Tianming, “The battle begins now! Don’t disappoint me, little one!”

As Jiang Han announced the start of the battle, the enormous Thunder Wrath Bear swung its claws towards Lin Tianming.

Thunder Wrath Claw!

The massive, razor-sharp bear claw, enveloped in terrifying lightning, slashed towards Lin Tianming.

Reacting quickly, Lin Tianming dodged and entered combat mode.

God’s Hand!

Activating his copying ability immediately, Lin Tianming read the Thunder Wrath Bear’s skills in an instant.

The level fifteen Thunder Wrath Bear had a total of four lightning abilities: Thunder Wrath Claw, Thunder Fury, Thunder Stomp, and Thunder Rage Armor.

Thunder Wrath Claw and Thunder Stomp were active offensive lightning skills.

Thunder Fury was a berserk augmentation skill that boosted the bear’s attack and speed, putting it into a frenzy.

Thunder Rage Armor was a skill that enhanced the bear’s defense.

Understanding the effects of these four skills, Lin Tianming faced a crucial decision.

Over the past two months, through rigorous training, Lin Tianming had gained a deep understanding of his God’s Hand ability.

His God’s Hand had a secret he hadn’t even shared with Ye Qingsue: it could only copy up to three skills.

These copied skills would be stored in three of his right hand’s fingers.

Once the three copied skills were used, his God’s Hand would enter a cooldown period.

Lin Tianming’s relentless leveling over the past two months, aside from being driven by Ye Qingsue, was also motivated by his desire to see if increasing his level would allow him to copy more skills.

However, even after leveling from one to fifteen, he could still only copy three skills.

The only changes from leveling up were twofold: the cooldown time for his God’s Hand had shortened from three days at level one to twelve hours now, and his copied skills could be enhanced in power, excluding ultra-level forbidden spells.

In this battle, if he couldn’t defeat the Thunder Wrath Bear with three skills, he would enter a vulnerable period without his God’s Hand.

Given this, Lin Tianming was extremely cautious in choosing which of the bear’s skills to copy.

After careful consideration, he decided to forgo the defensive Thunder Rage Armor and chose the other three skills.

Copy!

With his God’s Hand successfully activated, Lin Tianming instantly acquired the three skills of the Thunder Wrath Bear.

Dodging another Thunder Wrath Claw from the bear, Lin Tianming immediately activated Thunder Fury.

With a thunderous roar, Lin Tianming felt a significant boost in his speed and attack.

Seeing the bear launching another Thunder Wrath Claw at him, Lin Tianming responded in kind.

Thunder Wrath Claw!

With the augmentation from Thunder Fury and further enhancement from his copying ability, Lin Tianming’s Thunder Wrath Claw emitted visibly stronger lightning.

When their claws collided, Lin Tianming’s Thunder Wrath Claw tore through the bear’s, inflicting a massive wound.

Injured by its own skill, the Thunder Wrath Bear roared in fury and entered a berserk state.

Thunder Fury!

Moreover, the bear activated Thunder Rage Armor, enhancing its defense.

Despite Lin Tianming’s attempt to deliver a fatal blow with Thunder Stomp, the bear’s enhanced defense through Thunder Rage Armor perfectly blocked the attack.

Simultaneously, the fully boosted Thunder Wrath Bear charged at Lin Tianming.

Despite its seemingly clumsy appearance, the bear closed in on Lin Tianming in an instant.

Thunder Stomp!

Boom!

At such close range, the Thunder Stomp from the bear would devastate Lin Tianming’s fragile defenses, making Jiang Han believe he was doomed.

But then, a wall of lightning rose between Lin Tianming and the bear, nullifying the bear’s attack and severely injuring it.

However, Lin Tianming’s lightning wall dissipated after the perfect defense.

[I forgot, this brat still knows my lightning wall. But just this move won’t be enough to defeat the Thunder Wrath Bear. He’s still one breath away.]

[What will you do next?]

[If you could level up to sixteen now, increasing your God’s Hand’s copying capacity to four skills, you might defeat the heavily injured Thunder Wrath Bear.]

Hearing Jiang Han’s thoughts that leveling to sixteen would unlock an additional skill slot, Lin Tianming was incredulous.

How did Jiang Han know about his God’s Hand’s copying limit?

This was a secret he hadn’t even told Ye Qingsue, his official girlfriend. How could Jiang Han know?

Could she have learned it from the original owner in the previous life?

But would someone as vile as the original owner really share the deepest secret of God’s Hand with Jiang Han?

Though he couldn’t fathom how Jiang Han knew his God’s Hand’s secret, Lin Tianming learned from her that leveling to sixteen would increase his copying capacity.

But he had only recently reached level fifteen, and leveling up to sixteen wouldn’t be easy.

At least not in this battle.

As Lin Tianming pondered, the severely injured Thunder Wrath Bear, relying on its superior beast physiology, used Thunder Stomp to send him flying.

In that moment, Lin Tianming seriously doubted if Jiang Han intended for the bear to kill him.

She must have calculated that he wouldn’t break through to sixteen today.

But then Jiang Han’s thoughts revealed she didn’t plan to kill him today.

[It seems he’s reaching his limit. Tianming’s God’s Hand has a critical flaw in its early stages—too few skills can be copied. If someone discovers this weakness, he’s in great danger.]

[Lasting this long against a level fifteen Thunder Wrath Bear has already exceeded my expectations. Today’s test ends here. I’ll save him when he’s about to fail.]

[Why am I doing this… I clearly hate him for his treachery and betrayal in the past life, yet I’m still thinking of developing his potential and training him to be stronger than before…]

Surprised that today’s perilous first lesson was meant to further develop his potential, Lin Tianming realized Jiang Han’s feelings towards him were more complex than he had imagined.

Since she wanted to witness his greater potential, Lin Tianming resolved not to disappoint his teacher.

He vowed to prove his sincerity over time, helping his mentor, deeply hurt by the original owner, to let go of her hatred and see him as a cherished disciple again.

Just as the bear unleashed a killing blow, Lin Tianming, not waiting for Jiang Han’s rescue, launched a soul attack at the bear.

Soul Spark!

Soul Spark bypassed the Thunder Wrath Bear’s enhanced physical defenses from Thunder Rage Armor and pierced its soul.

Under the soul-penetrating attack of Soul Spark, the bear convulsed, its eyes rolled back, and it collapsed.

Jiang Han, about to intervene to save Lin Tianming, stood dumbfounded as he turned the tables in an instant.
