Sofia knew that Lin Tianming could duplicate Divine Hand.

But her Light Dimming Divine Technique, a skill awakened after becoming a God in her previous life, possessed a very special ability and was executed extremely silently.

It was not easily detectable, and one wouldn't even know what skill she had used.

That's why Sofia was confident that, unless she told him herself, Lin Tianming would not be able to duplicate it in a short time.

Yet even so, she was thwarted at the very last moment when she was about to defeat Lin Tianming!

Under the influence of the Light Dimming Divine Technique, the Level 49 Purple Extreme Thunder Extreme attack appeared to her as a nightmare skill, more terrifying than the Super Position Forbidden Curse.

Even though she knew it was false and that she was merely weakened, Sofia still felt fear from the depths of her heart.

Already fragile from being weakened, and now overwhelmed by her own sense of powerless fear, Sofia became even more vulnerable in front of Lin Tianming.

Boom!

Under the onslaught of Lin Tianming's Purple Extreme Thunder, Sofia fell hard onto the platform, losing all her combat power.

But she still retained a faint consciousness.

Looking at Lin Tianming who was slowly approaching her, this time, without Lin Tianming persuading her to concede, her spirit completely crushed by him, she lowered her head with a dim gaze.

"I... I lost..."

Following Sofia's admission of defeat, the host of the Beiyin Domain immediately announced loudly.

"The winner of this match is Lin Tianming from Jiuzhou!"

As soon as the host made this announcement, the venue erupted into cheers.

Most people on the scene were shouting Lin Tianming's name.

Even if they weren't from Jiuzhou, students from other domains were also impressed by his strong performance in this battle.

Listening to the whole venue chanting Lin Tianming's name, Sofia's dim beautiful eyes lacked any color.

[Why... after my reincarnation... carrying the memories of the Light Goddess... am I still not his match?]

[I've become stronger than I was at this age in my previous life... and even stronger than the Level 49 me from before... yet I still can't beat him...]

[Nothing has changed... What's the point of such a reincarnation?]

Lin Tianming was shocked by her extremely negative thoughts upon hearing them.

Is she being so negative just because she was defeated by him?

To prevent this Goddess Reincarnator from having suicidal thoughts, he quickly tried to console her.

"Sofia, that was a really close fight, you are truly strong, I almost lost to you!"

But instead of calming her, his words seemed to make Sofia's expression turn cold.

[Is he mocking me with the demeanor of a victor?]

???

Lin Tianming, feeling wronged upon hearing Sofia's thoughts of being mocked, thought to himself.

What he said was all true!

He really was on the verge of losing to her.

If at the last moment, he had been hit by her Light Divine Bow's Twenty-Star Continuous Fire, he would definitely have been defeated!

At that time, he felt he was most likely going to lose.

Because at that time, he still had a third of her skills left unchecked, completely unaware of what skills to use to break free.

If it wasn't for a last-ditch blind choice, not caring about the skill names or specific effects, randomly drawing one from the unchecked third.

And he was lucky enough to randomly draw the right skill, he would have truly lost!

Thinking back on how he won, even Lin Tianming found it somewhat absurd.

Randomly drawing the right one!

Had he known it would work like this, he wouldn't have wasted time and would have just closed his eyes and randomly picked a skill to duplicate from the start.

However, what Lin Tianming thought of as sheer luck was not accidental.

It was when he was at his wits' end, desperately wanting to choose the right skill, that he triggered the highest mental state of Heart Over Matter through Spiritual Power Ascension.

Because both his speed and attack were weakened by the Light Dimming Divine Technique, and he wasn't focusing on himself.

He didn't even realize it himself, but through his strong desire, he triggered the peak state of Heart Over Matter.

Having triggered the unattainable Heart Over Matter peak state of Spiritual Power Ascension God, it was inevitable that he could fulfill his desires.

Seeing that his previous comfort had no effect, Lin Tianming also stretched out his hand.

"Sofia, the fight is over, why think about the useless things? Don't forget that we've fought side by side several times, and after this sparring, we'll have a party, eat well, and surely one match shouldn't affect our friendship!"

[Our friendship must not be affected?]

Sofia was stunned in place, and memories of her life with Lin Tianming flashed through her mind.

There were competitions during the Holy Cross Assessment, and joint tribulations in Xiluo Domain Shenwu City...

And the joint tribulations in the Red Sea Secret Realm more than a month ago, as well as the Light and Shadow Fragments he gave her for free after defeating her...

Several times following Lin Tianming, participating in post-match parties personally cooked by his teacher Jiang Han...

Honestly, these experiences flashing through her mind indeed made Lin Tianming's image in her heart much better than in her previous life.

After hesitating for a moment, Sofia still extended her somewhat exhausted hand, placing it in Lin Tianming's palm.

Seeing that she finally stopped thinking about those negative things, Lin Tianming pulled the weakened Sofia up from the ground and helped her off the stage.

Seeing Lin Tianming being so caring and helping her off the stage, Sofia's face faintly blushed.

"Thank you, Tianming..."

Actually, Lin Tianming wasn't much better off than Sofia; he was just one move away from losing to her earlier.

Now that the fight was over and he was off the stage, the tension wasn't as tight as during the fight, and he felt a wave of exhaustion and a desire to sleep deeply.

His body swayed, and Lin Tianming, who was supporting Sofia, fell forward.

This scene scared Sofia.

"Tianming, what... what's wrong with you?"

She tried to catch Lin Tianming, who was about to fall, but she too was out of strength and fell forward along with Lin Tianming.

She really didn't expect Lin Tianming to be so weak.

She thought he still had a lot of energy left to help her off the stage.

Thinking that Lin Tianming was so weak yet still insisted on helping her down, Sofia was moved but also felt a bit guilty.

Nearby, Ye Qingxue, seeing Lin Tianming chatting with Sofia on the stage after winning, was planning to settle scores with Lin Tianming for making her jealous.

But as soon as Lin Tianming got off the stage, he began to sway and was about to fall.

This frightened her, and she momentarily stopped thinking about her jealousy, rushing to support Lin Tianming.

Feng Lan also promptly supported Sofia, who could no longer support Lin Tianming.

After making sure that Sofia was supported by Feng Lan, Lin Tianming, who just wanted to sleep soundly, completely relaxed and fell into a deep sleep, not caring about anything else.

He could have continued to hold on.

But he felt that everything had ended, and Sofia was safe and sound, so he could relax and fall asleep so easily.

It was comfortable for him to sleep like this, but the people around him didn't think so.

Ye Qingxue, supporting Lin Tianming, discovered that he had fainted, and she almost cried.

"Brother Tianming, don't scare me, what's wrong with you?"

[I… I won't be jealous over other girls anymore, Brother Tianming, please wake up!]

The other Goddess Reincarnators also looked worriedly at Lin Tianming who had fallen unconscious, very concerned about his physical condition.

Jiang Han remained calm, immediately stabilizing the nervous emotions of Ye Qingxue and the others.

"Friend Tianming is just exhausted; he just barely won the fight against Sofia, Qingxue girl, first take him back to our Jiuzhou rest area."
