I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Panda Novel

'He picked up the king combat skill after drinking a cup of tea. Is enlightenment tea that effective?'

After Lin Yao retrieved the sword, he did not bother continuing his practice. He found a corner and switched on his cell phone to check the news about Che Zhengyi.

After checking, Lin Yao discovered that enlightenment tea was indeed amazing, but Che Zhengyi was even more formidable. This guy was a game-changer. From a young age, he had demonstrated peerless talent at swordsmanship. After learning silver-level combat skills, he had comprehended gold-level combat skills on his own in his university days. Thanks to the combination of his aptitude for swordsmanship and the enlightenment tea, he had picked up king-level swordsmanship in a short time.

'Is this the world of a genius? Practicing thousands of times to make small progress and a million times to achieve real success? No way. One only needs a sword.'

Lin Yao, who had felt fairly complacent because of his awakened talent, was dealt a great blow.

'Damn it! Are geniuses that unreasonable?'

It took a long time before he went back to his normal self.

'I won't dwell on this further. Regardless of how powerful he is, this is like the strong wind that sweeps over the mountain. It has nothing to do with me.'

As he calmed down, Lin Yao continued to practice his sword-drawing posture and speed rigorously.

Clang.

He unsheathed the sword and sheathed it.

Clang.

He unsheathed the sword and sheathed it.

Clang.

He unsheathed the sword and sheathed it.

…

A loud sound akin to striking iron was heard in the courtyard, and every sound was a result of Lin Yao's effort. Soon, the string of consecutive sounds sounded like one loud clang.

Lin Yao, who had collected his nutrition drinks, went through an arduous training session in his courtyard. He practiced military boxing three times a day—morning, noon, and afternoon. During the time in between his training, Lin Yao would unsheathe his sword repeatedly to train his speed.

Of course, as he trained hard, Lin Yao did not forget the children in the orphanage. Keeping his promise, Lin Yao brought some reference books with him when he visited the orphanage again. He also found two teachers to answer the questions of the children.

What surprised Lin Yao this time was that he ran into the Ice Mountain Girl, Yan Yan, again.

'I always feel that it should be the other way around. I should be running into Qin Xue, the kind young lady, more often.'

"So you still have designs on her."

"Uh… When did you come over?"

Lin Yao was shocked when he saw Yan Yan behind him.

However, Yan Yan frowned slightly when she glanced at Lin Yao's face. She said, "You look very tired."

Lin Yao was indeed exhausted. He had practiced for about 30 rounds of military boxing today. In addition, he trained his speed during the resting time in between his rounds of training.

Although Lin Yao had the divine skill of sunlight absorption and the supplementation of the nutrition drinks, he had been stretched to his limits both physically and mentally.

No. It was precisely because of the divine skill of sunlight absorption that he was so drained of energy.

This skill enabled Lin Yao to replenish his stamina quickly. Therefore, he hadn't rested for an entire day. Without this talent, he would likely rest after training for some time. Nevertheless, Lin Yao liked his current situation very much.

His body and mind were extremely exhausted. That was also why he hadn't noticed Yan Yan approaching him.

"Phew. It's okay. I've overworked myself during my training."

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yao patted his face with both hands to make himself perk up a little.

"It's not that I still have designs on her. I'm just puzzled. I thought she'd drag you to the orphanage. It's strange to see you here alone."

Without waiting for the Ice Snow Princess to respond, he checked the children's homework. He then picked out a few children who had improved in their studies and asked them what toys they would like to play with.

"I promised to reward those who make learning progress. I'll bring the toys that you want tomorrow. Those who want to get toys will have to study hard. As long as you're willing to do so, you will get toys."

"Thank you, Big Brother."

"I'll be number one next time."

"Will there really be toys?"

"Of course, I don't lie."

After bonding with the children, it got late and Lin Yao prepared to leave.

"I'm leaving. You should do so too. Where do you live? Do you need me to take you home?"

"Are you concerned about me?"

"Of course, a girl outside alone…"

Boom.

Lin Yao suddenly stopped in the midst of the conversation and saw Yan Yan clenching her fists lightly. The boom had originated from her hands. There was even a cold current in the air. The cold current dispelled Lin Yao's fatigue and perked him up completely.

'What am I talking about? In a world full of martial artists, it is the martial artist realm and not the gender that matters. The Ice Mountain Girl is an expert martial artist who can beat 10 people single-handedly.'

Lin Yao was truly exhausted to his limit. He had almost forgotten some common knowledge of the martial arts world.

"Pardon me. It's up to you. I'll get a move on first."

After speaking, Lin Yao slipped away, looking dejected.

However, the image of Lin Yao slipping away sadly made the orphanage's children glare at Yan Yan.

Logically, the children should favor the Ice Snow Princess more than Lin Yao, as she had known them for a longer period of time. However, she was too cold and aloof. Even high school students were afraid to glance at her. It was not strange that primary school students without a family wouldn't dare approach her.

While he exited the orphanage, Lin Yao was walking and yawning at the same time. He was really exhausted.

'Fortunately, I noted down the toys that the children wanted. Otherwise, I'd definitely forget it tomorrow given my current state. Phew… I can get Lin Ye to buy the toys while I concentrate on my training.'

Honestly, there were varying degrees of intimacy in one's relationship with others. Lin Yao was not a saint. After becoming wealthy, he cared most about himself and then about his family. When he spent money on those children instead of spending it on his younger brother and sister, Lin Yao felt somewhat guilty.

'However, those children will impact the growth of my green energy ball. I've funded and helped them because I want to improve my strength… I am selfish indeed.'

Bang!

'Why am I letting my thoughts run wild? Helping those children and helping my younger siblings are not mutually exclusive. I don't have that much money now, but when I become strong enough and earn enough money, I won't have to worry about this. I will help whoever I want.

He slapped and shook his head speechlessly.

'Instead of letting my thoughts run wild, I might as well spend my time practicing. As long as I have enough ability, all these problems will be solved.'

Lin Yao walked home in high spirits as he yawned. On his way, Lin Yao kicked something. In the past, he would have turned around to see what he had kicked. However, he didn't bother to do so this time, as he was extremely exhausted and just wanted to go home and sleep.

Thus, he did not notice a 100-yuan bill lying quietly on the ground…

After returning home, Lin Yao took a shower reluctantly and then went to bed.

His exhausted body and mind caused Lin Yao to sleep until five o'clock the next morning.

'It seems like I had another nightmare last night.'
