I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart - Chapter 141

Chapter 141: The Fast-Growing Physical Realm

‘You’ve been counter-killed even though you have five players fighting against three. Do you guys know how to play?!’

Of course, E Longsheng could only yell these words inwardly. He had a good mindset. Thus, he chose to ignore the bullet screen and instead focus on the questions.

These questions were naturally not difficult for him to answer. E Longsheng soon sorted out his emotions and said nonchalantly, “The earlier battle was very exciting. Once again, Lin Yao has led No. 4 High School to victory. Congratulations to No. 4 High School for advancing to the next round.”

“Lao E, we want to know exactly what happened. How did Lin Yao unleash five Lightning Flashes in one breath? Could he have hidden his strength in the past?”

“There was no hiding involved. Students who have taken a closer look should have realized this by now. Lin Yao’s Lightning Flash was slower than the past few times. According to my guess, Lin Yao didn’t unlock his body to the limit in the past. He’s conserved most of his strength and can thus unleash the Lightning Flash consecutively.”

E Longsheng was still rather competent, and his words were right. Although Lin Yao had unlocked the gene lock this time, he hadn’t fully ‘exploited’ his body and had only increased his physique to 150%.

Due to the Armored Body Of Light and the guardian holy seal, Lin Yao’s 150% physique was akin to Di Qiang unleashing 100% of his strength. In the absence of an impediment, he was naturally able to use the Lightning Flash continuously.

After understanding this, E Longsheng’s partner immediately said in fake surprise, “In that case, Student Lin Yao can use Lightning Flash repeatedly. This seems to be a disaster for others.”

“Of course not. Although he can unleash Lightning Flash continuously in this state, the prowess of the move is not that great. In fact, it has minimal impact on advanced martial artists. If you took a closer look this time, you must have discovered that the few martial artists from No. 1 High School had some time to react to the attacks. Previously, Yan Yu’er lost completely because she was distracted.

“In addition, Lightning Flash relies on the combination of speed and power. Now, its speed is not fast and its power is not great. Under normal circumstances, Lightning Flash can hardly kill anyone. At the same time, Lightning Flash only has one move. Once it fails, the opponent will counterattack and Student Lin Yao probably won’t have a chance to unleash a second move. Therefore, the repeated use of the same move might not be ideal, and the Sword-Drawing Technique is a move that puts one’s eggs in one basket.”

“But everyone from No. 1 High School was defeated.”

When this question was posed, E Longsheng’s face twisted slightly. He thought of his words at the start of the battle and soon said, “No. 1 High School indeed lost, but they lost to the combination of the Clear Mirror Body Technique and the Lightning Flash, not the Lightning Flash alone.”

Upon speaking of this, E Longsheng felt somewhat regretful.

“This special warfare team is also unlucky. When they cooperate with one another, they are confident about blocking a pure Lightning Flash or even a Lightning Flash unleashed in this extreme state. At most, they’ll sacrifice only one of their teammates. However, Student Lin Yao came up with a new move this time. He used the Clear Mirror Body Technique to refract the image of his body… This is very sneaky… and clever.”

“It is indeed a clever approach. Lightning Flash is a combination of power and speed. Although this move is a linear attack, it is very fast and difficult to dodge. The Clear Mirror Body Technique is not an offensive move. Its main function is to refract one’s figure to other places, making it hard for others to figure out the user’s specific location. Due to this combination of Lightning Flash and the Clear Mirror Body Technique, henceforth, students who are fighting against Student Lin Yao can no longer rely on their vision. Whatever they see might be wrong. They can only guess.”

Upon hearing what E Longsheng and his partner said, many people contemplated how to deal with Lin Yao, who could reflect the image of his body on other places.

Then, many elite youths realized that they had no way to deal with it. After all, the orientation of Lin Yao’s Clear Mirror Body Technique was not constant. The angle of light could be changed to make it refract in different directions, like a shadow.

As a result, Lin Yao could change the position of his image continuously even if he remained motionless. It was almost akin to ambushing others.

“Damn it! What a sneaky combat skill. Isn’t it invincible?”

“The figure is misled by the light. Doesn’t this mean that our eyes will become useless when we fight against Lin Yao?”

“We’re finished. How should we counter this?”

Many people were having a headache due to Lin Yao’s combination of combat skills. However, as soon as the word “invincible” was mentioned, someone soon retorted in the live-stream.

“Cut the crap. This trick can be used to deal with ordinary people, but it is useless when it comes to experts with the Sky Eye or geniuses that use sound, smell, and blood to determine the location of the opponent.”

“It’s a boring use of smoke and mirrors. A swordsman should unite his mind and heart. Even if one’s line of sight is blocked, one will be able to sense the enemy and slash anything with the sword in his heart. Student Lin Yao has gone astray down his swordsmanship path.”

Many people agreed with these views, but many didn’t care as well. They merely considered this a small trick.

Regardless of the situation, Lin Yao’s fame rose again after this battle.

He could not be blamed. Even if one ignored how powerful he was, his dazzling thunderbolt, which could defeat someone with one sword move, was simply too dashing.

At the same time, there were discussions going on in the private room. Many people called Lin Yao’s move a small trick, whereas some people laughed at this comment.

“Being able to combine and unleash techniques seamlessly is not something that can be called a trick.”

“Exactly. I remember that many people are unable to multi-task although they have reached the warlord level.”

“Combining techniques is not uncommon. The rich and powerful don’t care about it.”

However, these rich and powerful people were shocked that Lin Yao could multi-task and use the combat skills that well although he was a low-level martial artist. This made him stand out.

At the same time, these knowledgeable people were very aware. At lower levels, everyone valued talent and endowments, but at higher levels, they valued comprehensive ability and willpower. His ability to multitask was a sign of Lin Yao’s powerful mental strength, and it would be easier for him to advance to become a warlord.

Because of Lin Yao, the people in the arena were discussing enthusiastically amongst themselves. A chaotic scene was also taking place in the private room.

However, the situation in the arena no longer had anything to do with Lin Yao. After lying in the hospital for more than an hour, his body had recovered fully.

Afterward, he thanked Yan Yan and ran outside. He didn’t even have the time to go to the stadium again.

‘It’s been five days. I can finally undergo electric current stimulation again today.’

That was right. Lin Yao was anxious to leave, as he was going to Professor Li’s research institute to develop his body again.

The process of electric current development was painful, but Lin Yao couldn’t bear to forgo this quick method of ascension.

As he headed to the research institute with large strides, Lin Yao closed his eyes and looked at the small sapling and various attributes in his Sea of Consciousness. Upon skimming through the rest of the attributes, Lin Yao could see his physical realm progress.

[Iron Person (48%)]

[Vital Energy Seed: 52 Seeds]

As a result of the past few successive rainy and cloudy days, Lin Yao hadn’t gone to the research institute for about five or six days.

Before the rain, his physical training progress had already reached 42%. Although he had not gone to the research institute or had excessive training for many days, the Body of Light’s optimization and adjustment to the body and the residual benefits of electric current development had enabled Lin Yao’s body to progress by 1% per day.

Of course, this advancement was merely based on physical progress. He only had 52 vital energy seeds for the time being.

This could not be helped. The condensation of vital energy seeds required spirit energy, but Lin Yao had not undergone recharge training for the past few days and was unable to absorb sunlight. He could only absorb the unclean spirit energy in the air. In the absence of medicated diets, it would take him a very long time to condense one vital energy seed.

The normal cultivation speed of most people allowed them to condense one vital energy seed per month. This was also the reason thunder geniuses were very valued. In addition to being able to develop their body faster, they could undergo recharge training and also consume a hundredfold more training resources than the norm.

‘Fortunately, all my battles were completed in a very short time, and I don’t need that many vital energy seeds. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult for me to fight during the past few days.’

With this thought in his mind, Lin Yao ran outside. As he was exiting the venue, he ran into Yan Yu’er, who had a dazed expression on her face as she pushed open the door to enter the place.

When she saw Lin Yao, her lifeless eyes were filled with rage. Fuming, she even made flames rise from her palm.

However, she soon thought of something, and the look of loathing and anger on her face dimmed slightly. She became cold and aloof, resembling Yan Yan’s demeanor, and seemed to be waiting for Lin Yao to approach her.

“You…”

She wanted to say something when Lin Yao approached her. However, Lin Yao walked past her swiftly without stopping, and she could no longer endure his callous behavior.

Tears rolled down her face silently. It was as if something in her heart had broken.

As a woman, she valued her first time very much. She cherished it like a treasure. However, upon discovering that someone had disregarded it and hadn’t even offered any words of consolation, she was utterly upset.

Lin Yao, who had already walked away, could sense the situation behind him. However, his heart didn’t ache that much.

He had already given her countless opportunities. When Yan Yu’er had offended him the previous day, Lin Yao had taught her a vicious lesson (by defeating her with one strike in the arena) in order to deter her from provoking him again.

When leaving the stadium yesterday, Lin Yao had clearly told her not to follow him, but she had insisted on doing so. When he’d arrived at the orphanage, the quarrel with Yan Yan had made Lin Yao feel even more vexed. Moreover, Lin Yao had the Good and Evil Distinguishment ability and could detect that Yan Yu’er didn’t like him. She loathed him very much.

However, she kept pestering him like a cowhide plaster although she detested him. How could Lin Yao possibly have a good impression of her? He had dragged Yan Yu’er to the entrance of the love hotel to embarrass her and make her leave.

Instead, she had followed him and even taken the initiative to book a hotel room. Lin Yao was enraged by her stalking behavior.

He didn’t want a cowhide plaster to pester him every day in the future.

Therefore, he hadn’t left the room but had threatened and forced her to make a choice—she would either immediately have sex with him and become his mistress or they’d go their separate ways and no longer keep in touch.

Yan Yu’er had initially chosen the second option, but for some unknown reason, she’d ended up going with the first option.

The morning after they’d had sex, Lin Yao hadn’t felt any regret. He was going to treat Yan Yu’er as his mistress and provide her with some help henceforth.

Lin Yao was very confident about this. After all, he was neither the gold genius nor the diamond genius that others made him out to be. He was not the most powerful king genius either. Lin Yao, who had a tree-planting system, could grow big trees continuously as long as he kept doing good deeds. When he grew the Celestial Tree into the Kabbalah Tree of Life, or when the Tree of Heaven Punishment grew fully to replace the tribulation of thunder, he could possibly become a god. Therefore, Lin Yao viewed himself as a growing genius with the god level as his upper limit.

Thanks to this assurance, although he had just begun cultivating not long ago and was still very weak now, he had huge ambitions.

He had wanted to cool off his relationship with Yan Yu’er, but what had happened in the morning had acted like a splash of cold water on him. The palm strike on his chest had completely shattered the few feelings in Lin Yao’s heart.

‘Since you feel that aggrieved and you loathe me that much, why do you have to force yourself to do it? It would have been best if you had simply left.’
