I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart - Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Martial Artist… No, This Is Cultivating to Be An Immortal

Lin Yao had not made a habit of being beaten and not fighting back. Besides, there was no need for him to attract investments at this competition, so there was nothing to hold him back.

Psst.

While Lǚ Yang was still making arrogant remarks, Lin Yao went straight to the arena when the lightning flashed.

A smile appeared at the corner of Lǚ Yang’s lips when he saw this scene.

‘You have been tricked, and I know you can’t stop yourself anymore. Now, it has been confirmed that you are arrogant and would not bear even the slightest grievance.’

Although Lǚ Yang had this thought in his mind, he put on a surprised look, as if he did not understand why Lin Yao would jump into the arena. He apologized and said, “Sorry, it seems that I have annoyed you again. However, I suggest that you curb your arrogance a little bit. Shanghai is different from other places. There are so many geniuses here. If you are so arrogant, you will suffer a lot.”

Lǚ Yang did everything possible to label Lin Yao as an arrogant person. However, something he had not expected occurred. Lin Yao did not object to this label.

“Arrogant? Indeed. I am undefeated in my hometown. This makes me a little arrogant.”

Lǚ Yang obviously had not wanted Lin Yao to admit that he was arrogant. He had thought that Lin Yao had gone into the arena to explain himself, but a look of surprise soon appeared on his face.

“Since you are aware of it, why don’t you change? If it weren’t for your arrogance, this wouldn’t have happened…”

“It can’t be changed. How can I change my character without suffering a crushing defeat… Since you said that there are many geniuses in Shanghai, why don’t you defeat me to make me wake up and face reality?”

Lǚ Yang had the urge to jump right into the arena at Lin Yao’s invitation, but he was afraid that this was a trap. “Let’s go follow the procedure of the Flowery Sect. After the selection, I…”

He wanted to delay this, but Lin Yao refused to give him a chance.

“I admit that I am arrogant, but are you admitting that everyone in the Flowery Sect has an attractive appearance but no substance?” With a sneer, Lin Yao looked around. His voice was flat but it sounded as if thunder was blasting loudly everywhere. “When I came here, I heard from others that the people from the Flowery Sect are effeminate and have fancy but impractical skills or resort to tricks. I didn’t believe them at first, but now I can’t help but believe it.”

Lin Yao, who was saying this, looked at Lǚ Yang with extreme contempt in his eyes.

“I remember that you have reached the level of a silver warlord. However, you don’t even dare take on the challenge issued by someone who has recently become a warlord. The Flowery Sect is… Ha ha.”

Upon hearing Lin Yao’s words of contempt, the audience cast odd glances at the Flowery Sect.

It was common for martial artists to be competitive and arrogant. All martial artists wanted to be the best, and they had the courage to fight to become the best in the world. Even if one was too arrogant, one would change after one suffered several crushing defeats. However, it was different if one was cowardly.

It was fatal for a martial artist to be cowardly. Besides, it was unlikely and difficult for a martial artist to change their cowardly character.

Lin Yao was willing to accept the label of being arrogant, but the Flowery Sect would never accept that it was cowardly. Therefore, right after Lin Yao’s taunting, a cold sneer echoed in the building of the Flowery Sect.

“How arrogant.”

“What a conceited young lad.”

“Lǚ Yang, go all out in this match. Show him that the Flowery Sect is not to be trifled with.”

The enraged higher management of the Flowery Sect gave direct orders to Lǚ Yang, and he smiled upon hearing their commands.

With a gentle smile, he walked into the arena step by step, and at the same time, a voice gathered and was transmitted into Lin Yao’s ears.

“Scoundrel, I’ve wanted to teach you a lesson for embarrassing me for a long time. This time, you are dead… Oh, there must be no deaths, but rest assured. I will break your limbs one by one!”

Lǚ Yang had never thought that his usual commands would cause so many issues. Although he managed to barely salvage the situation, his anger for Lin Yao had not diminished. He could suppress it and even talk and laugh with Lin Yao, but the more he pretended to be alright, the greater the anger that was building inside him became.

“You are simply a scoundrel from a rural area. You are nothing but a wild dog grazing in my house. How dare you embarrass me? You are dead.”

Lǚ Yang, who had been born in a large city and an established dojo and had decent talents, had never considered Lin Yao to be at the same level as him. In the past, Lin Yao’s words used to provoke him, but now, he did not wish to tolerate his provocation any longer.

Lǚ Yang, who displayed all his anger, wanted to kill Lin Yao, who had humiliated him right here.

Lin Yao had the same thought.

Boom!

The two people could not restrain their ill feelings, so they gained momentum and force, releasing them toward the opponents. The invisible forces collided, resulting in a muffled noise echoing in the air.

Soon, the invisible force changed. Lǚ Yang was surrounded by clouds and mist, and Lin Yao was even more dazzling. Thunderbolts hovered around him, setting him off like the god of thunder. At the same time, the tempest wings stretched behind him, and he flew into the sky bit by bit.

While Lin Yao was flying into the sky, the mist around Lǚ Yang on the opposite side also turned into clouds, lifting him up, and he flew into the sky as though he was mounting the clouds and riding the mist.

The two people, who stood facing each other, flew directly into the sky, shocking all the onlookers.

“Flying… Are they flying?”

“Wait a minute. Are you telling me that this is a match between a warlord and a silver warlord?”

“I remember the textbooks saying that only kings are capable of flying. In fact, not all gold warlords can fly!”

“The poster of the previous comment is so foolish. A king can fly without any aid. Although a gold warlord can’t do it, basically all gold warlords have flying combat skills.”

“No matter what, these two are monsters if they can fly at the warlord and silver warlord stages.”

“This is normal. Lǚ Yang is, after all, on the Hidden Dragons List. Although he is ranked 97, flying is still possible.”

The battle in the air between a warlord and a silver warlord had shocked many people, and soon, someone asked about the outcome of the fight on the Internet.

Almost everyone was optimistic about Lǚ Yang. The people in this world had the Internet and were knowledgeable. They knew that although there were geniuses who could fight beyond their ranks, the opponents of these geniuses were ordinary powerhouses. It was difficult to launch a successful counterattack during a fight between geniuses.

“It is a tough fight for Lin Yao. Both are geniuses, so it is difficult for them to fight beyond their ranks.”

“It is true. With Lǚ Yang’s talent, one could easily tell that he only broke through to a silver warrior when his body strengthening reached more than 1,000%. Student Lin Yao is only an intermediate warlord. His body strengthening is at most at 59%. He can’t make up for the gap of more than 900% no matter how many tricks he has up his sleeves. Lǚ Yang has nine times the physical strength and internal strength of Lin Yao.”

Everyone was optimistic about Lǚ Yang. As expected, Lǚ Yang had the upper hand in the fight in the sky.

The two people who were confronting each other were releasing forces, and the confrontation of momentum quickly transformed into a primary domain confrontation. Lin Yao activated his thunder and lightning field. Other than surrounding him, the thunderbolts crackled in the air, and flickered within a hundred meters of him, using him as the center point.

There were changes in power on both Lin Yao’s side and the opposing side. He was arrogant, as he was just as capable.

Lin Yao used thunderbolts, while the awakened talent of the opponent seemed related to clouds and mist. Right now, Lǚ Yang ascended to the sky, mounting the clouds and mist. Although he stood lightly on the clouds, there was no immortal aura. Like Lin Yao, he was also wearing a swimsuit.

However, although there was no immortal aura, Lǚ Yang, who had broken through to a silver warlord with a body strengthening level of 1,000%, was indeed stronger than Lin Yao.

The most obvious point was that when electricity flashed on Lin Yao’s side, endless clouds and mist would gather around him, and the clouds and mist could reach a radius of 300 meters.

“Damn it! One of them has thunderbolts within 100 meters around him, and the other summons clouds and mist that reach a radius of 300 meters. Is this what a warlord is capable of doing? Isn’t a warlord someone who has a stronger body and internal strength? Why does it seem like they are cultivating to be immortals?”

“This is what a genius is like. Otherwise, do you think the country would give them so many resources for no reason?”
