At Hua Yufei's home.

When the live broadcast of the Global Competition showed Lin Tianming holding the Divine Phoenix Spear, annihilating a genetically mutated first-year student from the Beiyin Domain.

Huang Yiyi, whose little face had been tense all along, suddenly waved her little fists in delight.

"Great, Tianming won again!"

Mo Jinghong's eyes also sparkled with excitement: "Senior Sister Yanran, isn't this the move you taught us during our last trip to the Secret Realm?"

"Silent Annihilation Divine Phoenix Spear."

Since the beginning of the Global High-level Awakening Academy Competition, this was the first time Lin Tianming used one of Wang Yanran's signature skills.

Wang Yanran's beautiful face was also filled with smiles.

Witnessing her Junior Brother Tianming use the skill she taught him to defeat the enemy was definitely the happiest thing for her.

"What's going on? These Beiyin Domain bad guys are bullying Tianming! That student just turned into a monster and tried to kill Tianming, how can they blame Tianming?"

However, as the live broadcast continued, when Lin Tianming faced pressure from the higher-ups of the Beiyin Domain, Huang Yiyi's little face immediately puffed up in anger.

Hua Yufei's beautiful face, as lovely as the Flower Fairy's, also grew somewhat cold.

"These Beiyin Domain people are always inhumane!"

Mo Jinghong felt the same: "When I participated in the competition last year, I've seen the offensive arrogance of the Beiyin Domain officials!"

"Don't worry, with Teacher Jiang Han around, even if the Beiyin Domain officials truly wish to harm Junior Brother Tianming, they..."

Before Wang Yanran could finish her reassuring words to Huang Yiyi, Lin Tianming in the live broadcast began to verbally counter the Beiyin Domain officials, which momentarily stopped her.

Additionally, as Lin Tianming questioned the Beiyin Domain officials, the scene became agitated with higher-ups, students, and teachers alike vociferously criticizing the Beiyin Domain.

This scene also stunned Wang Yanran.

"Junior Brother Tianming is so naughty, hahaha... Senior Sister Yanran, Senior Sister Yu Fei, Yiyi, did you see the flustered faces of the Beiyin Domain officials? Where did their arroganet demeanor go?"

Mo Jinghong's delight in others' misfortune was truly incomparable, something Lin Tianming had also experienced.

Her words also made the tense atmosphere at Hua Yufei's home, worrying about Lin Tianming, become much more relaxed.

Huang Yiyi still asked: "So... Tianming should be safe now, right?"

Hua Yufei nodded with certainty: "Hmm, under these circumstances, the Beiyin Domain wouldn't dare make an outrageous move against Junior Brother Tianming. This strategy of his really works!"

"That's good then!"

Relieved, Huang Yiyi licked the ice cream in her hand again.

Wang Yanran also regained her smile, no longer worried about Lin Tianming.

Her Junior Brother Tianming always managed to extricate himself with unimaginable strategies!

In the upcoming competitions, as long as the Beiyin Domain isn't foolish, they definitely should not dare to touch Lin Tianming again.

They even need to ensure Lin Tianming's safety properly.

Anyone else might encounter trouble, but Lin Tianming is the least likely; everyone would suspect the Beiyin Domain if something happened to him.

"Senior Sister Yanran, come look at this video! This is from an unofficial live streamer who captured what Junior Brother Tianming said during the fight! The official broadcast had a narrator and was muted, so we didn't hear this part!"

Mo Jinghong suddenly called her to watch the video taken from an unofficial broadcast, Wang Yanran collected her thoughts and also curiously leaned over.

"What did Junior Brother Tianming say that got you so excited?"

"I don't know, but right now the whole Jiuzhou internet is blowing up, trending topics are not just about Junior Brother Tianming, but also your name, so I clicked in to take a look, scrolled through and found this video, come over and let's see what's going on!"

Following Mo Jinghong's invitation, Hua Yufei and Huang Yiyi also couldn't resist leaning in to watch the video on Mo Jinghong's phone.

Seeing everyone gather around, Mo Jinghong immediately clicked play.

The video begins with Lin Tianming catching a first-year Beiyin Domain student's attack using the Phoenix Flame Divine Shield, and counters immediately.

The angle of the footage was different from the official live broadcast. When Lin Tianming leaped into the air, he also said something that the live broadcast had muted.

"Ever since I learned this move from Senior Sister Yanran, I haven't really used it... Today, I'll use you as my first target!"

Filled with confidence, Lin Tianming, from a high position, shot his spear through the sky, instantly killing the mutated Beiyin Domain student.

This scene can be said to be the most spectacular moment in today's progression to the top 32!

After watching, Wang Yanran was delighted that her Junior Brother Tianming even mentioned her name.

It seems that even though he was far in the Beiyin Domain, her Junior Brother Tianming was always thinking of her, Wang Yanran!

Thinking of this made Wang Yanran miss Lin Tianming even more, hoping for his soon return.

But beyond that, Wang Yanran felt nothing else.

So why was her name on the trending searches across Jiuzhou?

After revisiting the footage of Lin Tianming killing the enemy, Huang Yiyi also patted her jade hand.

"Cool! Tianming is so cool!"

Then Wang Yanran curiously asked Mo Jinghong, "So what does this have to do with me trending? What are people discussing?"

Mo Jinghong looked at Wang Yanran, who hadn't yet realized, and started to explain.

"How is it not related? Junior Brother Tianming said he learned this move from you, curious people dug deep and figured out the Senior Sister Yanran he spoke of is you, Wang Yanran, the prominent figure who won the global competition years ago!"

Hearing this from Mo Jinghong, Wang Yanran suddenly realized.

"So, that's it. Mentioning me means they think he's as excellent as me, capable of dominating the Beiyin Domain and winning for Jiuzhou again?"

At this moment, Hua Yufei also took out her mobile phone to check online and saw that there were rampant rumors about Lin Tianming and Wang Yanran.

She instantly understood that Wang Yanran hadn't grasped what Mo Jinghong was actually implying.

Mo Jinghong continued to remind Wang Yanran.

"Senior Sister Yanran, that's just a small part of it, guess what most people on the internet are gossiping about?"

"I won't guess, just tell me."

Wang Yanran, who didn't like using the internet in her previous life and was devoted to cultivation — which is why she only found out in this life that Lin Tianming was the one who took her purity.

And it was the same this lifetime.

Seeing that Wang Yanran asked her to speak, Mo Jinghong stuck out her tongue and directly told Wang Yanran,

"Now, everyone in Jiuzhou is discussing online whether you and Junior Brother Tianming are in a romantic relationship, perhaps even a cougar type, and everyone thinks you two are a good match, saying 'a talented man matched with a beautiful woman' and various rumors about you both are wildly spreading online!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yiyi, who didn't have much interest in matters of love, continued eating her ice cream as usual.

Hua Yufei, however, looked at Wang Yanran with a strange expression.

Mo Jinghong playfully watched Wang Yanran, curious about her reaction.

As the main character of the rumors, Wang Yanran hadn't reacted initially.

But after a moment, her cheeks visibly flushed red.

Seeing this, Mo Jinghong laughed delightedly.

"Haha, blushing! Don't tell me... Senior Sister Yanran, you actually have those kinds of thoughts about Junior Brother Tianming?"

Hua Yufei stared intensely at Wang Yanran, very keen on this question.

Hearing Mo Jinghong daring to tease her, Wang Yanran immediately assumed the stance of a senior sister disciplining her junior.

"Mo… Jing… Hong! Watch… watch as I tear your mouth apart, stopping your nonsense!"
