I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

‘Will I have to bring a few power generation devices with me in the future?’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao looked at his Type VII Electric Current Stimulation Combat Suit, which had a thunder beast crystal core embedded in it.

In the past, this crystal core had been used as a charging device for the combat suit, but now, Lin Yao discovered that this thunder beast crystal core seemed to be able to do more.

‘I can find a way to get more of this or get a larger-capacity battery to carry it with me.’

The competition for high school students and younger people was mainly a test of one’s basic strength. There were a lot of restrictions. They were only allowed to use standard equipment. Therefore, Lin Yao’s weapons and equipment had not been used since he had bought them.

However, everything was different after entering university. University was the outpost of society, and after entering society, even if adults were poor and could not buy any weapons, they would use whatever they could in order to win. That was the way.

Therefore, because university was an outpost, the restrictions for university trials and competitions had been reduced, and Lin Yao could now prepare for the battles he’d have in the future.

‘If I have a chance, I must buy more weapons. When the battle begins. I will use the electricity in the batteries to complement the thunder and electricity field. All I need to do is manipulate it. This will reduce my consumption a lot and even allow me to use ultimate moves that I can’t display at a lower level.’

Lin Yao’s actions could be regarded as creating a fighting environment conducive to him.

He quickly read the information about the thunder and lightning field. Now that Heavenly Thunder had reached LV3, many benefits came with it. The last benefit was marked as special. It was more than the benefits brought about by Heavenly Thunder.

[Electricity-Absorbing Physique]

[Description: Because the host has been undergoing electric current stimulation for a long time and has undergone gene optimization due to Light Adjustment, the host is now extremely resistant to thunder and lightning. When attacked by electric current, the host will only suffer minimal damage and will be able to absorb the energy in it, which will greatly enhance the host’s strength.]

[Note: The ability to withstand electric current is related to the strength of the host’s body and the perception of thunder and lightning. The stronger the body, the deeper the perception of thunder and lightning, the more power of thunder and lightning the host can absorb, and the stronger the body will get.]

‘Is this Thor’s simplified, crude version of God’s Descent on earth?’

Lin Yao remembered that in the past, when he watched movies, Thor would raise his hammer to the sky to summon a thunderbolt to strike himself. Of course, thunder and lightning could not hurt Thor, the thunder god of Northern Europe. When thunder and lightning fell on him, Thor would get extremely stronger, and endless electric lights would burst from his body. Right now, Lin Yao also had this ability.

However, there was a slight difference. Thor activated Heavenly Thunder and divine thunder, while Lin Yao could only absorb a little bit of the power of thunder and lightning, which was regarded as the beggar version of the power of Thor. Still, this was considered a start.

As soon as he saw that he could absorb them, the first thing he thought of was storing them.

‘My Armored Body Of Light starts with the absorption ability before slowly evolving into the Sun God Pattern, which can store a lot of energy. As the Heavenly Thunder continues to evolve, I should also be able to gain storage capacity. By then, I won’t need an external electricity reserve… No, it’s better to bring a few more to be prepared.’

After Heavenly Thunder was advanced to LV3, the benefits that Lin Yao gained were the field-type thunder and lightning field and the special ability Electricity-Absorbing Physique, which interacted with Light Adjustment.

These benefits were very powerful. After a moment of joy, Lin Yao once again entered the research institute to undergo in-depth electric current development.

‘No matter how good the ability or how fancy the talent is, my own strength is the basis of everything. Without a strong physique, I can’t use my talent no matter how good it is.’

Lin Yao, who valued his foundation very much, stayed in the research institute again until the next morning. When he woke up, his physical progress had reached 233%, and his mental progress had reached 81%.

After waking up, Lin Yao prepared for that day’s individual competition. However, the competition had yet to start when something cropped up.

Du Ming, who had lost yesterday, had withdrawn from the competition.

“What’s going on?”

Qin Ya explained the situation to Lin Yao by responding to his question.

“The dojo’s strategic plan has failed. Even if they continue to fight, they will only get second place at most. This ranking is meaningless to him, so he won’t waste any more time.”

“What about the rewards? There are rewards for the runner-up, isn’t that right?”

“It’s not like first place. The rewards of the winner include one diamond combat skill, one opportunity to apply for diamond resources, one gold-level weapon, and half a million yuan in cash. These rewards are good, but other than the winner, the rest of the contestants are only awarded the opportunity to apply for gold resources. As for the techniques, they are not of much value to them.”

“I see…”

This was an orderly world, so techniques had a somewhat special status.

In China, the initial enlightenment technique of ordinary people was a gold technique, which was sufficient for most people.

Of course, there were diamond-level and king-level techniques that were levels above gold, and both of them were stronger than gold.

However, they were unlike techniques in other countries that one could easily master. In the world that Lin Yao was in, it was much more difficult to master the more powerful diamond techniques and combat skills.

For example, Lin Yao had either yet to start studying the few diamond combat skills that he had obtained or he had only barely started to do so. It was not that he did not want to improve, but they were too difficult and demanding to master.

Take the Super Electromagnetic Gun for example. Until now, Lin Yao’s arithmetic ability had not yet met the requirements.

At the same time, the world Lin Yao was in also adored practicing few combat skills to the extent of mastering the profound meaning and believed that one should not bite off more than one could chew, which made combat skills not as popular.

Du Ming, who had mastered several powerful combat skills, would not appreciate the techniques provided by Ninghai City.

Du Ming’s departure was a bit unexpected, but it did not have much of an impact on Lin Yao. With his powerful strength, he could crush all enemies and clinch victory.

This was what he thought, and he had done it. On the day of Du Ming’s departure, Lin Yao had to participate in an individual match, and he went up against the person who condensed the fire phoenix and had been defeated by Du Ming.

When fighting against Lin Yao, the man spewed raging flames, as if he was going to burn everything.

Fire and water were merciless, and his attacks were very powerful. If he had been in a community, he alone could have burned the entire community in a short time, killing hundreds and thousands of people.

Unfortunately, he had met Lin Yao. He felt desperate upon seeing the guardian holy garment. The glorious, condensed holy garment had a strong defensive power, and the characteristic of Light Purification, which eliminated all negative states, made sure that the flames could not approach Lin Yao’s body.

Lin Yao, who stood amid the flames, did not sustain any injuries.

His biggest attack method had failed. In fact, Lin Yao had not even used Angel’s Descent or the possession of the feathered serpent spirit. He merely relied on the extreme state stimulated by thunder and lightning and won with a flash of lightning.

The day after Du Ming’s departure, he had to take part in a team competition, and he fought against Xiao Shi and the other warlord that he led.

There was not much to say about this battle. Xiao Shi was not weak. While standing on the ground, he gained great perseverance and was able to spread the attack under the ground.

It was a pity that any defense and conduction had a certain limit. With Angel’s Descent, Lin Yao instantly pushed his combat power to reach the peak warlord. He made use of his power at the level of a peak warlord and a higher hypostasis to gather endless brilliance and thus created a huge sunlight spear in his hand.

Then, the spear turned into a light cannon, and Lin Yao threw it out like a missile, bombing and blowing up the ground around Xiao Shi, completely defeating him. The remaining people scattered to different places this time.

However, this was useless. Lin Yao lifted his fingers and light quickly converged on his fingertips. He tapped lightly toward the four of them, and laser shot through their bodies.

There was no way to resist such an attack. The light that Lin Yao gathered by using the angel hypostasis was abundant, and the condensed laser-penetrating power and high temperature were extremely powerful.

There was no way to hide either. The speed of light was the fastest in the world. It was a joke to think that one could avoid the attack ahead of time by staring at Lin Yao’s fingers, and they did not have this ability either. Even if they did, when lifting his fingers, Lin Yao could easily use light to distort the light next to his fingers and mislead them.

Given his powerful capabilities, Lin Yao successively defeated the two elite warlords, who were Xiao Shi and the person who manipulated the flames from No. 1 High School, and won the final victory.

Although there was still an individual competition on the third day, Xiao Shi was so badly injured by the sunlight spear that he could not fight at all on the third day. Hence, Lin Yao won the final victory ahead of time.

“Let us congratulate Student Lin Yao, the individual champion and team champion…”

When he won, speeches were naturally made by high-level officials, and the audience cheered. Lin Yao’s family was also filled with happiness and pride as they looked at him in the arena.

Of course, there were people who were cheering, as well as people who said they had already expected this outcome.

“Like I said, the battle between One Sword and Blood Ape was considered the most decisive battle even before the final. No. 1 High School is useless. So what if they have a good ranking? The outcome is a result of the tricks that they used.”

“Forget it. It’s better for locals to win than outsiders, and they are also trying to preserve our city’s resources.”

“By the way, why do they still hail him as One Sword? Student Lin Yao did not use swords in the subsequent battles.”

“His Excellency One Sword is getting more and more handsome.”

…

Many people cheered for Lin Yao’s victory due to his good image. However, Lin Yao was very indifferent. Once the celebration banquet was over, he left after receiving the reward.

Lin Yao met his school principal at Professor Li’s research institute.

“Here, this is the reward I promised you.”

As he handed a box to Lin Yao, Lin Yao’s old principal looked at him with a smile on his face.

“The surprise you gave me was really big. I originally thought that the best ranking we could get would be second place. I never thought we’d rank first.”

Winning first place did not only bring honor to the old principal but also tangible political achievements. Although it could not be considered a definitive promotion, he would still be in a more favorable position.

Among the many people who had invested in Lin Yao, the old principal was the first to benefit from it.

At the same time, he also reciprocated. When Lin Yao politely saw the old principal off and opened the box, he discovered that the box did not contain one Bodhi Leaf, as he had thought, but two.

The Bodhi Leaves were treated with special methods, and when they reached Lin Yao’s hands, they were still green. Even without using them to brew tea, he felt a sense of clarity just by inhaling their fragrance.

‘There are actually two of them. Should I have a cup of tea now?’

One leaf of this tree species was enough. Lin Yao could brew tea with the other leaf like ordinary people would to improve his comprehension ability.

However, in the end, he gave up on this idea.

‘At this stage, I am in no hurry to break through.’

Upon looking around himself, Lin Yao found that he did not need to rush to break through, and he would have nothing to do for the next period of time. He could fully develop his body at the research institute to its limit.

However, Lin Yao’s dream was tarnished by Qin Ya.

When Lin Yao recovered from the in-depth development, the first person he saw was Qin Ya, who had been waiting for him.

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