I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

“I suggest that you transfer to No. 1 High School after the arena competition.”

“There’s no need to.”

“There’s a need to. No. 1 High School has amassed many geniuses and children of high-level officials in Ninghai City. Even if you do not do it for the sake of its resources, the interpersonal relationships alone will be very beneficial to you.”

“I don’t have time to pay attention to interpersonal relationships.”

Lin Yao admitted that interpersonal relationships were very important. In his past life, being good at interpersonal relationships had been akin to a personal capability.

However, he was not good at this. Plus, he knew that the foundation of interpersonal relationships was equality. His family assets were incomparable to most of those of the people in No. 1 High School. Therefore, it was not necessary to force them to interact.

Additionally, although he had talent, Lin Yao needed to practice daily in order to convert this talent into strength. Therefore, he didn’t plan on studying at No. 1 High School. In fact, Lin Yao planned to stop attending school after this competition. He wanted to find a better place to carry out his daily training.

Of course, Lin Yao was not ready to give up on his culture lessons. It was always good to pick up more knowledge. However, it was not necessary for him to go to school, as he could look for a teacher to tutor him.

‘Anyway, Qin Ya can lend me 10 million yuan. I’m not afraid of not finding a teacher.’

At the thought of the culture lessons, the Bodhi Tree came to Lin Yao’s mind.

‘I remember that the Bodhi Tree is also called the Tree of Enlightenment, but it can also be called the Tree of Wisdom. Anyone under the Bodhi Tree will be enlightened. This will also mean having good eyesight and hearing, as well as a photogenic memory.

‘After the competition, I’ll first think of a way to raise my level to a warlord. Then, I’ll get the Bodhi Leaf from the principal and plant it to increase my comprehension ability. I can have culture lessons after improving my comprehension ability.’

One month of studying for smart people was akin to one year of studying for ordinary people. For the sake of efficiency, Lin Yao soon made these plans for himself.

By the time Lin Yao sorted out his plans, Wen Chang and the captain from Tianhai City had already verified each other’s identity. However, they disagreed on how to deal with Lin Yao.

The captain had witnessed Lin Yao’s talent and was going to recruit him. However, Wen Chang refused.

“His ability is very important to us. We need him to seek out those freaks. These things are dangerous bombs that can detonate at any time.”

“Student Lin Yao’s safety is more important.”

“I will protect him. I swear by my life. I’ll definitely die before anything happens to him. Can you rest assured now?”

“No… Forget it. We’ll talk to your higher-ups. Please protect Lin Yao properly before we come to a consensus. If something happens to him, you’ll be considered a sinner.”

After listening to this stern warning, hearing her hang up, and staring at the phone, the captain was no longer guarding himself against Lin Yao… The captain, who was protecting Lin Yao, said, “Who are your parents?”

“They are workers.”

The captain was obviously surprised by this response. He soon thought of something. “Your talent… Okay, I got it. I will protect you.”

Upon seeing the captain hold his tongue, Lin Yao had one thought on his mind.

‘All these captains don’t seem dumb. They can decipher something with just a little bit of information. They also know what to say and what not to say.’

In the end, Lin Yao and the group arrived at the police station. As far as protection was concerned, there was no safer place than the police station.

As a citizen who had acted bravely for a just cause, Lin Yao had been allocated a room. During this process, Qin Ya was with Lin Yao, and the two of them would be staying in the same room.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t the slightest bit of lovely atmosphere in the room, although a beauty was by his side.

This was not because Lin Yao was not tempted or because Qin Ya was not beautiful. When this woman was serious, Lin Yao felt that he was facing a strong, career-minded woman armed to the teeth. He was unable to treat her like a woman. Furthermore, after entering the room, she didn’t pay any attention to Lin Yao. After sitting on the bed, she immediately got to work.

“You’ve been working all this while. Are you that busy?”

Without turning back, she spoke coldly while contacting people through her laptop.

“Who do you think I’m doing this for?”

“Don’t tell me it’s for me?”

“You’re finally being smart for once. I need to find someone to investigate the public welfare facilities in Ninghai City that have been in disrepair. I need to purchase supplies for those facilities and boost your reputation on the Chinese web. Well, since you’re not willing to learn from Master Wu Chang, I’m helping you contact the Heaven and Earth Dojo and the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. You need to check them out after the match. Also, a master will design your clothes and take care of your style very soon…”

“You… go ahead.”

Upon hearing the specific tasks that Qin Ya had to do, Lin Yao zipped his lips and didn’t dare distract Qin Ya from her work anymore.

At the same time, he also had some doubts in his mind. ‘Forget about the rest of the tasks. Why is there a stylist?’

However, upon looking at Qin Ya, who was busy working, he didn’t ask this question.

Lin Yao was silent, but Qin Ya said, “Are you very familiar with the officials? Are you able to contact the higher-ups of our city?”

“I have worked with these officials several times, but I’ve not met the high-ups of the city before.”

After he said this, Qin Ya stopped speaking. Upon seeing this, Lin Yao closed his eyes to rest. Following that, he sank into his Sea of Consciousness.

The Sea of Consciousness remained as it was. The two big trees stood opposite each other, illuminating a large space. The only difference was that after the Celestial Tree had absorbed the angel spirit essence, it had grown bigger and was now double the size of the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

Lin Yao was going to make the Celestial Tree evolve again.

He glanced at the green energy ball above the space. As Lin Yao shook his consciousness, 47,500 grams of energy separated from the 67,280 grams of energy on the energy ball. Controlled by Lin Yao, these 47,500 grams of energy fused with the Celestial Tree beneath the ball.

The original Celestial Tree already had 52,500 grams of energy. After the integration of 47,500 grams of energy, the sum instantly came up to 100,000 grams, which was required for the advancement.

If the Tree of Light had not been upgraded, Lin Yao’s energy would have been limited to 100,000 grams, and he wouldn’t have been able to advance because of this insufficiency. However, after the angel spirit essence had been lodged, it had advanced to the Celestial Tree. The bottleneck of advancing from silver to gold had already disappeared.

Following the infusion of a large amount of energy, the Celestial Tree was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye. Soon, it became several meters taller. This also gave Lin Yao a lot of feedback. The most direct manifestation of this process was that Lin Yao’s Armored Body Of Light had become stronger again.

Of course, this was not the most critical factor influencing the Celestial Tree. When the Celestial Tree grew to a certain limit, endless energy surged into the egg condensed by the angel spirit essence.

The surplus energy was not the only energy that rushed into the angel egg. All the energy of the Celestial Tree also filled the egg. After a large amount of energy rushed into the egg, the egg shell, which was composed of light, broke and a perfect, genderless infant appeared.

The infant had a halo above its head and a pair of wings on its back. Its eyes were closed, and it was unconscious. However, its appearance instantly changed the intrinsic nature of the Celestial Tree. At the same time, the angelic, holy infant suspended in the middle of the Celestial Tree was acting like an energy relay. Within a breath of time, it had absorbed the energy of the Celestial Tree and exhaled a purer energy to nourish the Celestial Tree.

Upon seeing the Celestial Tree grow to about 10 meters tall in his Sea of Consciousness and looking at the holy infant hanging from the tree, Lin Yao only had one thought in his mind.

‘I’ve succeeded. I have the arsenal to fight against warlords now.’

Lin Yao had indeed succeeded. When the Celestial Tree advanced, Lin Yao, who had the same origin as the tree, also underwent a huge transformation.

Light erupted from Lin Yao’s body and condensed his entire body into a light cocoon. In this light cocoon, Lin Yao’s body was optimized and adjusted by the light energy. He was now a step closer to being the “perfect person” recorded in the Kabbalah Tree of Life.

This sudden change startled Qin Ya, who was working. Very soon, she thought of the past few days of work and Lin Yao’s bold words at the beginning.

‘This is… a talent advancement. Doing good deeds can really advance his light talent.’

In fact, if Lin Yao were to reveal that his talent could be advanced, others would find out about this shortcoming of Lin Yao’s. If he had an enemy, the enemy could easily hinder Lin Yao’s advancement.

Although he was well aware of this, he did this all the same, as serving the people of China was his most basic moral principle.

Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, respect for the law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendship were the core socialist values.

If anyone were to prevent Lin Yao from acting in accordance with the 12 values (written in 24 Chinese characters) by not allowing him to serve the people, they would not be dealing with Lin Yao but challenging the basic principles of the entire country of China and the moral ethics that had existed since ancient times. They would be challenging China as a whole. Therefore, Lin Yao was not afraid of this information being exposed.

He even looked forward to seeing the helpless look on his opponent’s face when they found out that they couldn’t stop Lin Yao from improving his talent.

The Celestial Tree’s advancement from silver to gold was rather striking. Besides Qin Ya, the other people in the police station soon sensed it too.

Tap, tap, tap…

A wave of hurried footsteps was heard, and a large group of armed policemen surrounded Lin Yao’s door. They had a vigilant look on their faces upon seeing Lin Yao wrapped in a light cocoon.

However, their vigilance quickly dissipated. This was not because Qin Ya had said something but because the armed policemen didn’t sense the enmity and negative emotions of hatred they had sensed when facing evil spirits in the past coming from the light cocoon. When they looked at the light cocoon, they mustered infinite courage, and their hearts were filled with endless brightness.

“What is this?”

“Why do I feel so safe and assured?”

“Be careful. It might be the illusion of an evil spirit.”

“Go and report it to the chief.”

Soon, the chief of the Tianhai City Police Department and some of the bigshots also noticed Lin Yao’s transformation. Many of them even approached Lin Yao personally.

Upon seeing the higher-ups, even Qin Ya felt somewhat shocked.

“They came really fast.”

Of course they had. The higher-ups of Ninghai City had just contacted them and told them to ensure Lin Yao’s safety and not harm him. This had made the higher-ups of this place feel slightly curious about Lin Yao. At the moment, Lin Yao was undergoing some kind of transformation. As a result, they had naturally come by to observe.

After sensing the cocoon of light condensed by Lin Yao at a close range, the higher-ups of Tianhai City immediately understood why the people from Ninghai City were that anxious.

“This power of light… This Lin… Lin…”

“Lin Yao.”

“Yes, Lin Yao is just a high school student, yet he already has this much power of light at this age. It’s no wonder Ninghai City is that anxious. This is a powerhouse who can become a guardian angel. If it were me, I would also be anxious.”

“I really envy Ninghai City. They have found a good seedling. Besides, he has light talent, which can restrain evil spirits the most.”

While they were speaking about this, it was obvious that the eyes of the higher-ups of Tianhai City were brimming with envy.
