[System has automatically bound Thunder Goddess Jiang Han within range for the Host, allowing you to perfectly eavesdrop on Thunder Goddess Jiang Han's inner thoughts!]
[Jiang Han is Jiuzhou's youngest Top Awakened, possessing a SSS Thunder Attribute Superpower Talent, the direct disciple of the Thunder Hall Master, the designated next Thunder Hall Master, and also serves part-time as a mentor at the Imperial Great Emperor Academy!
In her previous life before rebirth, she accepted this body's original soul as a student. Failing to see that the original soul was an ungrateful wretch, she was betrayed and ambushed during the trial to ascend to godhood by her most beloved student, Lin Tianming.
Although she didn't die on the spot from the ambush and even managed to ascend to Thunder God, she could not endure for more than a few days in the demon-infested Land of Calamity, ultimately meeting a tragic end.]
Is this Jiang Han's experience before her rebirth?
Until the Goddess Destiny System announced the binding, Lin Tianming still held a sliver of hope. Now that even the system says so, and he could eavesdrop on Jiang Han's inner thoughts, that last bit of hope had vanished.
I really am not a good person!
Blech! It's that Lin Tianming who shares my name that's no good, not me!
I am but an honest man who has traveled here from Blue Star, having replaced that scumbag's soul for you all, it could be considered as me avenging you all in advance!
"Child, what are you daydreaming about? Are you too nervous to see me? Don't be nervous; just casually show off your SSS Talent, and if it's real, I will guarantee you direct entrance to my Imperial Great Emperor Academy for further studies!"
[This brat... Has he discovered that I've been reborn? Why is he lost in thought all the time? This is a bit different from when I first met him before my rebirth...]
Hearing the mature Teacher Jiang Han's inner voice, Lin Tianming realized he could no longer continue to contemplate his strategy.
In order not to arouse Jiang Han's suspicion, he took a deep breath and pretended to be restrained.
"Sorry, Teacher Jiang Han, I am somewhat overwhelmed to learn that you are a teacher of the Imperial Great Emperor Academy."
"No matter, child. Come, show me your Divine's Hand Skill. Just casually duplicate one of the Basic Skills I'm about to demonstrate to you!"
During the conversation, Teacher Jiang Han demonstrated three Low-level Thunder Attribute Superpower Skills for Lin Tianming to see.
Even though she was demonstrating like this, Jiang Han did not really think that Lin Tianming would be able to duplicate these three skills.
As a Reincarnator, she had a clear understanding of Lin Tianming at this time.
[Even with a typical SSS Talent, one would have to start from Low-level Skills and work their way up slowly, but this brat's SSS Talent is a little different.]
[Without any unexpected twist, this kid is going to Duplicate without my having to use any Super Position Level Thunderbolt Forbidden Curse, thus shocking me and drawing my attention, enticing me not just to usher him into the Great Emperor Academy but also to consider taking him on as a student.]
[Quite the schemer, you ingrate!]
[I have to say, the Talent you've awakened is truly astonishing, definitely the strongest SSS superpower Talent ever. It's just a pity that this time... this time, your teacher will not be fooled by you, the ingrate!]
Having not heard for the first time from Jiang Han's thoughts that he would Duplicate a Super Position Level Thunderbolt Forbidden Curse Skill right off the bat, Lin Tianming fell into brief contemplation.
Unexpectedly, his Divine's Hand had a hidden attribute that allowed it to Duplicate Super Position Level Forbidden Curse Skills.
This meant that if he was successful in duplicating the Super Position Forbidden Curse, he could contend with a Top Awakened without them being prepared.
Previously, he was confused because Ye Qingxue, also a reincarnated person, had said he died early without maturing, but Jiang Han, who is also reborn, is now a Top Awakened.
The weak him, even if he had a betraying intent, could not possibly have ambushed Jiang Han, causing her severe injuries and fall, absolutely impossible.
Now that he confirmed from Jiang Han that he could duplicate a Super Position Forbidden Curse, everything started to make sense.
At the critical moment of Jiang Han's ascension to Thunder God, the original soul of this body must have duplicated Jiang Han's Super Position Thunderbolt Forbidden Curse and ambushed her unprepared, causing her to be severely injured as Thunder God and eventually fall in the Land of Calamity.
Having solved one puzzle in his mind, Lin Tianming found himself with a new one.
Should he Duplicate Jiang Han's Super Position Level Thunderbolt Forbidden Curse in front of her?
If he did, wouldn't he be just like the original, following the same old plot?
If he proceeded along the original's path, he might well end up dying young just like the original.
However, without duplicating the Super Position Forbidden Curse, I can confuse her temporarily, but eventually, if I never use this ability, Jiang Han will inevitably discover it.
At that time, Jiang Han, who has already lost trust in me, is likely to execute me on the spot as a traitor, to purge the ranks.
After much deliberation, Lin Tianming still decides to try duplicating Jiang Han's Thunderbolt Forbidden Curse.
But... to duplicate is to duplicate, there must be some changes!
With a bold idea in mind, Lin Tianming immediately begins to use his Divine's Hand Skill.
As soon as Lin Tianming activates the Divine's Hand with a thought, he realizes he can see all of Jiang Han's skills.
[The Divine's Hand has been activated, this brat... He must be checking out the skills of his teacher right now. If all goes as expected, he should duplicate my Purple Thunder Shocking Sky Skill.]
Jiang Han, having been reborn and thus very familiar with the various hidden abilities of Lin Tianming's Divine's Hand, instantly realizes Lin Tianming is examining all of her skills.
[If only you always acted like your teacher's obedient student... Just a Heart of Furious Thunder... and you're tempted to harm your generous mentor who has taught you everything? I've always been so good to you...]
Hearing Jiang Han's sudden pain and frustration, Lin Tianming also feels her disappointment, no less than Ye Qingxue's.
It seems that winning over this woman and completely dissuading her from killing him is going to be difficult!
Thinking this, Lin Tianming quickly scans all of Jiang Han's skills, finds the Purple Thunder Shocking Sky mentioned in her thoughts, and immediately duplicates it.
Duplicate!
Purple Thunder Shocking Sky!
As Lin Tianming successfully activates the Purple Thunder Shocking Sky, Jiang Han's beautiful eyes fix on the suddenly overcast sky, just as in her experience before rebirth.
[This damn brat, the first time he duplicated Purple Thunder Shocking Sky was beyond my expectation; it struck me directly. At that time, I thought he was simply unskilled due to it being his first attempt. Now, thinking about it more carefully, this brat has had the intention to betray and kill his mentor all along! With the experience of being reborn, I am prepared and won't get hurt this time!]
However, to Jiang Han's surprise, the center of the rolling thunderclouds engulfing Mingxi City was not her, but Lin Tianming himself, who was casting the spell.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Han is stunned.
Shouldn't the Purple Thunder Shocking Sky be striking her?
How could it change to striking Lin Tianming after being reborn?
With thunder rolling, a bolt of purple thunder descends from the sky and heads straight to Lin Tianming.
[Could it be that after being reborn, the butterfly effect has occurred, and this traitor will perish here this time?]
[In your previous life, I treated you so well, yet you betrayed me, your mentor, and attacked me! If you die this time, you deserve it!]
[But why, as the purple thunder draws closer to him, do I feel more and more anxious? Could it be... I still harbor a sliver of... affection for this treacherous traitor?]
In a short span of time, Jiang Han is internally struggling.
Just as the purple thunder is about to hit Lin Tianming precisely, and obliterate him, Jiang Han, who just resolved in her heart to let Lin Tianming die, immediately uses her Top Awakened ability to forcefully intercept the purple thunder that would have annihilated Lin Tianming.
[I... Why did I save this utter traitor?]
Having successfully saved Lin Tianming, Jiang Han feels incredulous.
But Lin Tianming himself breathes a sigh of relief.
It seems his gamble paid off!
Although his teacher hates him very much, her conflicted heart still has a sliver of affection for him.
He hopes this will temporarily dissuade Teacher Jiang Han, allowing him time to deal with Ye Qingxue's issue alone first, then go on to the Great Emperor Academy in the Imperial City to win over Teacher Jiang Han, who also wants him dead!
