I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart - Chapter 189

Chapter 189: The Three Powerful Dojos

“I have already conducted a preliminary screening of the dojos, so you can make your choice now.”

That said, when Lin Yao leaned on the bed, she placed the information of the three dojos beside him.

“Tell me about them. It’s not convenient for me to read the information now.”

Due to the effect of the development, as well as Heavenly Thunder, which had reached LV3, Lin Yao’s physical fitness level had increased, and he was also extremely resistant to electricity.

Given this improvement, it might seem that Lin Yao would be able to feel much better during the in-depth development.

However, this was just a delusion. Strengthening the physique did not mean reducing the pain he felt during the development. In fact, the pain had increased because he could persist for a longer time.

Improved physique?

“That’s good, he can be electrocuted for a longer time.”

He was also resistant to electricity, and he could absorb it.

“Increase the intensity of the electric current and be sure to let his cells regenerate from the damage.”

The so-called in-depth development was meant to break Lin Yao’s limit with thunder and lightning, so his cells would go through deep simulation and his body would develop further.

Even if Thor was still alive, he would not have been able to absorb all of the electricity that humans could control. Therefore, Lin Yao’s development was an endless path, and there were no shackles to it.

This time, Lin Yao went through an in-depth stimulation for more than three hours. He did not want to move at all, so he arranged for his brain development to take place around 11 o’clock in the evening. Otherwise, he would be too lethargic.

Seeing that Lin Yao was exhausted, Qin Ya nodded, picked up the file, and quickly updated him by giving him the information on the three dojos.

“Given your fame and future development, there is no need to choose between small dojos and medium dojos. We have to choose a large dojo that can be deployed across the country. The first option is the Heaven and Earth Dojo. They didn’t offer a lot of money, but in addition to paying you for being the spokesperson of the dojo, they will also give you some hidden benefits. One of the benefits is that the spokesperson can learn the combat skills of the dojo and be provided with guidance.”

Lin Yao understood this very well. He even knew that it was necessary to learn the combat skills of the dojo that he would be the spokesperson of.

After all, being a spokesperson meant that Lin Yao would join the dojo and say good things about it. How could he persuade the masses if he did not even know the combat skills of that dojo?

Although the Heaven and Earth Dojo had not offered a high amount, it could still be useful when it came to the improvement of Lin Yao’s capabilities. Qin Ya was indeed dedicated to her work.

“I think that the Heaven and Earth Dojo is your first choice. If you join this dojo, you will not only be their spokesperson, but you could also be a disciple of the dojo.”

“What about the second option?”

“The second option is the Sky Blade Dojo.”

“The Sky Blade Dojo? The team from the Sky Blade Dojo?”

Seeing that Lin Yao looked doubtful, Qin Ya explained to him, “It’s the Sky Blade Dojo that you know.”

After she said that, without waiting for Lin Yao to ask any questions, she continued to tell him the rest of the details.

“The Sky Blade Dojo is very strong. The team from the Sky Blade Dojo is not a good representation of their power. No, I should say instead that not only can they not represent the Sky Blade Dojo, but they can’t even represent the Sky Blade Dojo’s branch in the Xinghai Prefecture…”

After Qin Ya’s explanation, Lin Yao slowly understood the Sky Blade Dojo’s situation.

The Sky Blade Dojo was really very powerful. It had been founded by Sky Blade, a powerful king figure of the country. That king’s blade was swift and domineering. When he struck with the saber, there seemed to be a heavenly abyss. It was a terrifying sight.

Lin Yao also watched some clips of the king striking with his saber on the Internet. There were not many clips, but in each of the clips that Sky Blade was in, there would be scenes of landslides, cracks in the sea, and the ground being divided. These were natural disasters. When the gleam of the blade obscured the line of sight and swung down from the sky, even these raging disasters would be wiped out.

‘So strong! So domineering! So fast!’

The three exclamations were enough to show that Lin Yao was thoroughly shocked by the power of the king.

What surprised Lin Yao even more was that the king also had the electrical ability. Some of the gleams of the blade that he wielded were purely blade intent, but some were in harmony with the thunderbolt. Whenever there was a thunderous roar, his saber would be like a Saber of Heaven Punishment. It was like heaven’s condemnation, which was irreversible.

‘Sky Blade’s moves are simple and straightforward. Was he given this title because of the thunder?’

After looking at the videos, Lin Yao concluded that his attributes were a good fit.

Qin Ya continued to explain.

“The main Sky Blade Dojo is located in the capital. There are nearly a hundred dojos across the country. This time, the team from the Sky Blade Dojo came from a branch in the Xinghai Prefecture. However, the five people who came here are not the strongest geniuses of the Sky Blade Dojo. The real genius of the Xinghai Prefecture is preparing for the game there. The team that was sent here was merely an ordinary team.”

After Qin Ya’s explanation, Lin Yao realized the power of the Sky Blade Dojo and thought that he would have a very promising future if he joined this dojo. He was puzzled by the fact that Qin Ya had not recommended such a good option first.

He did not believe that Qin Ya would harm him. He merely did not understand why she would do that.

Qin Ya noticed Lin Yao’s perplexed expression and addressed his doubts. “The Sky Blade Dojo is very strong, and there is a king to hold the fort. However, because it is so powerful, there are too many geniuses who wish to join them. Mr. Lin, they would not value you very much if you joined them.

“Of course, I am not saying that you’re not good, Mr. Lin. You have powerful talents. I also think that you will be able to excel if you join the dojo. However, you won’t be able to receive many resources in the early stages. It will be difficult if you want to receive direct training. Besides, if you choose them, there will barely be an endorsement fee.”

Lin Yao understood after listening to Qin Ya’s explanation. If he joined the Sky Blade Dojo, he would at best be an inner disciple, but not a core true disciple.

The choice between the Heaven and Earth Dojo and the Sky Blade Dojo was like the choice between being the head of a dog or the tail of a lion.

However, Lin Yao did not make a decision immediately. Instead, he looked at Qin Ya, wanting to ask about the third dojo.

“The third dojo is the Flowery Sect. Well, they are very commercial, but they offered the highest amount this time.”

Lin Yao told Qin Ya to show him the information on the Flowery Sect, as well as their battling videos. The corner of Lin Yao’s mouth twitched after he watched them.

This sect had gorgeous combat skills and exquisite uniforms, and the disciples who were practicing martial arts seemed to be walking on clouds like fairies. This was especially so during the group training, when groups of handsome men and beautiful women displayed all kinds of beautiful combat skills. He felt as if he was looking at an artistic performance. However, when he watched these videos, there was only one thing that came to his mind: They were flashy but they lacked substance.

In response, Qin Ya told him not to underestimate them. “Mr. Lin, don’t underestimate anyone. Although it is indeed true that publicity and packaging have played an important role in establishing dojos in all parts of the country, their direct disciples are not weak. Otherwise, even though they set up dojos, they would have been constantly humiliated by others.”

Chinese parents attached great importance to the education of their children. Therefore, the dojos were very profitable. At the same time, teachers who taught and imparted knowledge were held in great respect, which was why many powerhouses opened dojos.

However, after the opening of more dojos, the world was no longer peaceful.

In order to compete for disciples and apprentices, provocations took place at the dojos from time to time.

The country had not banned this. Instead, it was glad to see such situations. After all, unlike people who took the humanities course, martial artists needed to fight to grow and develop.

Therefore, the state permitted or even supported this behavior, and it also stipulated that when they challenged someone, it should be a person of the same rank. Martial artists of a higher level could not challenge someone of a lower level. The challenges could not result in deaths, and there had to be a referee present for every challenge.

Due to the country’s policy, some dojos often sent their disciples to challenge others in order to fight for the disciples they wanted. At the same time, some geniuses traveled thousands of miles to challenge each dojo so they could grow and develop.

Such challenges were protected by the law and had even become a tradition. Whenever a genius wanted to become famous, they would challenge the dojos. Although the dojos could reject the challenge, no one would. The reason was that one’s reputation would be affected if they turned down the challenge. After all, a dojo must be weak to fear a challenge.

The other reason was that geniuses who won consecutively gained fame. If the dojos defeated them, the dojos would gain popularity and attract more people.

The Flowery Sect had to be capable. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have opened dojos in all parts of the country without being forced to end its business.

‘Forget it, this style doesn’t suit me. I’d better choose between the Heaven and Earth Dojo and the Sky Blade Dojo.’

In order to find the most suitable dojo for himself, Lin Yao activated his accelerated thinking. He made use of his super arithmetic ability to analyze the weaknesses and strengths of each dojo.

After a few moments, Lin Yao made up his mind.

“Let’s go with the Heaven and Earth Dojo.”

“I understand. I will contact them right now. Mr. Lin, you should also get ready. We will need to go to their headquarters to sign a contract…”

Before she could finish speaking, Qin Ya was interrupted by Lin Yao, who was frowning. “Can I not go?”

“Well… I can bring your signature with me, but if you don’t go there in person, it will seem insincere. Besides, after becoming a spokesperson, you will also need to learn techniques at the dojo and film some videos to promote the dojo.”

“The video can be edited, and the combat skills can be transmitted through the Heavenly Mirror. I remember that many of the techniques of the Heaven and Earth Dojo are named in the Heavenly Mirror.”

“There are some direct techniques that require you to go to the main dojo.”

“Then let’s go there when I am free. Anyway, most people can’t tell what a direct combat skill is. It will be fine as long as I know the combat skills of the Heaven and Earth Dojo.”

Lin Yao did not want to go somewhere else, not because he was lazy, but because he was able to receive electric stimulation all the time in Ninghai City, which allowed his body to advance rapidly. If he went to the main dojo of the Heaven and Earth Dojo, this improvement would slow down, or there might not be any improvement. This was not what Lin Yao wanted.

Qin Ya frowned at Lin Yao’s insistence. However, the manager contract between the two stated that they had to follow Lin Yao’s wishes. When they had a disagreement, Qin Ya had to compromise.

“I see. I’ll talk to them, but if you don’t go there in person, the amount they offer will be lower.”

“It’s alright as long as it does not get too low.”

While talking with Qin Ya, Lin Yao had kept his accelerated thinking activated.

He analyzed the situation with his super arithmetic ability and he still concluded that staying in Ninghai was the best choice for him.

He knew very well that he was valued and needed because of his strength, not because of his docile personality. Therefore, his most important task was to maintain rapid strength growth. Everything else was secondary as long as it did not violate the law.

At the same time, Lin Yao had his reasons for choosing the Heaven and Earth Dojo. It was true that the Sky Blade Dojo had stronger support and was the best option for Lin Yao’s future development.

However, Lin Yao had a tree-planting system. When the sacred tree grew up, Lin Yao would not need the support of others in his later stage of development.

What he needed was early-stage funding so he could survive the early stage, when he was still weak. If it were not for the fact that the techniques of the Flowery Sect were too fancy, Lin Yao would have chosen the Flowery Sect instead.

After all, they had offered the highest amount.
