I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Panda Novel

“Unlocking The Gene Lock—Completed.”

When the neural network controlling his body was connected, Lin Yao felt like he was God or a deity that could control his body functions perfectly. Lin Yao discovered that he was capable of countless things in this state.

However, such a great ability merely lasted for 10 seconds in the Sea of ​​Consciousness and five seconds in reality.

Five seconds later, he had the sensation of a splitting headache accompanied by excruciating pain. Although Lin Yao had the Brave Soul and was unafraid of pain, he had a feeling that enduring this pain and continuing with the accelerated thinking speed would melt down his neural network and make him an idiot.

After all, pain was not entirely a bad thing. It was just a feedback mechanism to remind a person that something was wrong with their body.

The moment he perceived danger, Lin Yao controlled the current to make it leave his brain.

Professor Li was also genuinely competent. When Lin Yao looked pained, he could tell by checking Lin Yao’s state on the screen of the device that was connected to Lin Yao’s body.

Without needing Lin Yao to say a word, he immediately switched off the electric current to make Lin Yao’s state of accelerated thinking fall back.

The feeling of full-body control disappeared along with the fall-back, but this was not the time to lament.

After returning from this state of accelerated thinking, Lin Yao had a splitting headache. This was not physical pain. He felt as if he had been cultivating to become an immortal all day and night for an entire week. He was completely exhausted.

Under the circumstances, he’d almost lost the strength to breathe.

While Lin Yao was feeling unwell, as a researcher, Professor Li immediately paid attention to the data on the screen. He had no time to be concerned about Lin Yao’s physical condition at all.

“The duration is five seconds, but this is because the current stimulation has been switched on for half an hour. In a perfect state, the duration is likely to double. In a limited state, the duration should be nine seconds… In order to retain some energy, he can use at most seven seconds of thinking speed acceleration.”

Professor Li was calculating the data derived and didn’t have time to pay attention to Lin Yao. Fortunately, Jiang Rong had not forgotten Lin Yao. As soon as the development was completed, she rushed to Lin Yao’s side and checked his body. She then forced open his mouth and fed him some nutrition drink.

“Junior Brother, drink this first. Bring the bed over!”

The nutrient drink entered Lin Yao’s abdomen and his body radiated with a gentle energy. The sun rays in the sky and the Sun God Pattern on Lin Yao’s chest and abdomen were also constantly releasing energy to repair Lin Yao’s body. He was no longer half-dead.

However, Lin Yao had injured his mental strength this time. Although his body was gradually recovering, the feeling of exhaustion lingered in his mind, urging him to fall asleep. At last, he didn’t manage to endure it. His head sank, and he entered a deep slumber.

…

After an unknown period of time, Lin Yao woke up clutching his head.

“Phew, my head feels heavy. What happened… Have I survived the second in-depth electric current development?”

After waking up, Lin Yao was in a good mood. He immediately tried to recall the situation when he reached the second level. This was when the neural network was connected to the electricity and he was in a state of full-body control and thinking speed acceleration.

Lin Yao was happy with this state, but he also felt some resentment. He noticed that Professor Li and Senior Sister Jiang were not far away. They were just beside him, observing his body.

Lin Yao expressed the resentment in his heart. “Professor, you didn’t tell me I could master unlocking the gene lock only after reaching the second level.”

In response, the professor smiled and said, “I didn’t lie to you. I focused on training you for the first level. After a long time, the body will form muscle memory and will unlock the gene lock too.”

Upon seeing Lin Yao looking slightly puzzled, he quickly explained, “Using the electric current to stimulate the nerves of the brain for an accelerated thinking speed will greatly increase the brain’s arithmetic ability and in turn affect the current in the nerves of the entire body. This is the correct and most efficient way to unlock the gene lock, but there is more than one way to reach this destination. Muscle memory is only one way. This is similar to knowing how to count with your fingers even if you don’t know the rules of addition.”

“So, Professor, in your opinion, unlocking the gene lock is akin to addition? What about multiplication, binary linear equations, and calculus?”

“Okay, don’t argue with me. Did you memorize the sensation of stimulating the brain nerves earlier? If you did not, try to recall it carefully. If you have already done so, you can test it with your thunder vital energy seed.”

Lin Yao was stunned by these words.

“Test it? Professor, every time I stimulate the brain, I’ll go into a coma.”

“Of course you’ll lose consciousness if you persist until you reach your limit. But you can unlock it for just two to three seconds.”

“Unlocking it for a short while? Got it.”

Lin Yao was very interested in the god-like feeling he’d experienced when his thinking speed had accelerated earlier. He gestured for the professor and the others to move away from him. Lin Yao first took a deep breath to calm his body. He then made one of the thunder vital energy seeds explode in his chest and abdomen.

Boom.

As the thunder vital energy seed exploded, an electric current imbued with Lin Yao’s aura appeared in his body. The electric current was spreading in Lin Yao’s body, strengthening his torso and limbs. This was widely known as unleashing energy, and it was also the reason for the three-fold increase in a martial artist’s strength when they used the vital energy seed.

However, with Heavenly Thunder Manipulation, the electric current did not spread completely, and some of its power went to Lin Yao’s mind.

Boom!

Not much power had gone to Lin Yao’s brain. However, as the current entered his brain, the head beneath his skull immediately started flashing with a faint electric light. As it flashed, Lin Yao’s mind seemingly recharged and his arithmetic speed skyrocketed.

The sharp increase in his arithmetic ability not only made Lin Yao feel smarter but also accelerated his thinking speed. Everything in the world seemed slightly slower now.

Of course, Lin Yao had only sped up his mind. His body remained the same. In this accelerated mental state, Lin Yao felt somewhat slow when he raised his arm. This made him aware that his body’s speed had not increased. Only his observation had improved.

However, this was not the beauty of thinking speed acceleration. After the increase in his thinking speed and arithmetic ability, Lin Yao discovered that his control of electrical energy had also improved tremendously.

Originally, Lin Yao had only been able to manipulate some of the thunder energy unleashed by the thunderous vital energy seed. Now, he could easily manipulate all of it. In addition to the stimulation of the arithmetic ability of the brain, his memory had also improved.

Due to the pain and suffering, the flow and sensation of the electric current had been engraved in Lin Yao’s mind. At the moment, Lin Yao had triggered them by manipulating the electric current.

There was no thunder, only a faint crackling sound, but Lin Yao’s body trembled again. When the trembling stopped and Lin Yao opened his eyes again, he felt different.

His gaze looked as sharp as a divine sword. Just by looking at Lin Yao, some people would sense danger. On the other hand, Lin Yao himself felt more complete.

He stood up, gently lifted his foot, and stomped suddenly.

Bang. Lin Yao could feel the counteracting force being transmitted back to his body when he stomped his foot.

In the past, Lin Yao’s body had only been able to withstand this, and the price to pay for stomping his feet vigorously had been… numbness.

Now, when the force entered Lin Yao’s body, it would not be counterweighted by his legs. Instead, it would be perceived by the electric current nerves in his body. Afterward, Lin Yao used the electric current and stimulated his body slightly, allowing his muscles to tremble along with the flow of the force. Instead of dissipating in Lin Yao’s body, the force traveled all the way upward. In the process, Lin Yao also tightened his muscles and exerted strength from his leg to his waist, from his waist to his spine, from his spine to his arm, and finally, from his arm to his fingertips.

Click. Lin Yao, who straightened and thrust his finger forward, actually made a sound in the air.

‘It’s very powerful. This is unleashing 100% of my strength. Is this how Di Qiang feels?’

To Lin Yao, his movement might seem slow, but his thinking speed had accelerated. In the eyes of Senior Sister Jiang and the others, Lin Yao had thrust his finger the moment he’d opened his eyes, making a crackling sound in the air, as if everything had been done in one go. This also made Senior Sister Jiang feel sincerely happy for Lin Yao.

When she had seen Lin Yao for the first time, Senior Sister Jiang had admired him for his peerless, dashing good looks and the sense of assurance stemming from his power of light.

However, after interacting with Lin Yao for a long time, Senior Sister Jiang had gradually discovered Lin Yao’s other merits, such as his perseverance to continue training despite the pain and suffering after the first electric shock development, his courage in not taking the easy way out, and his body’s recovery speed. All of this had made Senior Sister Jiang understand that there was more to this man than met the eye. Besides good looks, he also had strong determination.

‘I was attracted by his good looks, but I fell for his talent. I suppose this describes my encounter with Junior Brother Lin Yao.’

Upon seeing Lin Yao standing tall and straight like a divine sword, Senior Sister Jiang suddenly felt her body getting warm.

Unfortunately, all this was not perceived by Lin Yao. Although his ability to gather and process information had also improved tremendously after his thinking speed acceleration, Lin Yao was more concerned about what was happening inside his body. This accelerated state was only temporary, so he soon returned to normal after observing his body and punching his fist once.

Without the accelerated thinking speed, Lin Yao could no longer use the state of unlocking the gene lock, neither could he gather his body’s entire strength.

At the moment, he could only unleash 40% of his strength, which was less than 50% of the strength of ordinary warlords. This also made Lin Yao’s brows frown tightly.

“Professor, can’t the full-body control of martial artists be switched on at any time? Why do I have to unlock the thinking speed acceleration? Is this a shortcoming of electrical stimulation?”

Lin Yao was puzzled by this, but his words also surprised the professor.

“Didn’t I tell you earlier? Your body has to undergo electrical current stimulation for a long time before it will form a muscle reflex… Did you think you had already completed the first level of the development?”
