I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

“Well, it seems that I’m too arrogant. Come here in 10 days. I will ask you again.”

“…”

These words sounded casual, but they stunned Qin Ya greatly.

She hadn’t forgotten that Lin Yao had also been very strong 10 days ago. However, aside from Angel’s Descent and the possession of the feathered serpent spirit, he could barely defeat a beginner warlord, which was the most ordinary kind.

After 10 days, Lin Yao already had the speed and strength of a high-level elite warlord.

In addition, most critically, Qin Ya could tell from Lin Yao’s words that he was really confident about growing his strength rapidly.

In fact, Qin Ya didn’t think he was arrogant when he said that.

At the same time, Qin Ya, who wasn’t stupid, also understood the reason Lin Yao had brought her here. He wanted to tell her that he was very powerful and could advance rapidly, as well as ease the dissatisfaction in her heart.

He had succeeded. When they’d first met, Qin Ya had decided to become Lin Yao’s assistant despite his unreasonable terms because she was optimistic about his future. She hoped that Lin Yao could become her backer. Profit was, in fact, secondary to her.

To put it bluntly, it was best if Lin Yao didn’t make any money and had to rely on her support in the early days. In that case, Lin Yao would owe her more and more as he grew up.

Of course, it was necessary to assess Lin Yao’s character in the process.

Now, Qin Ya couldn’t complain about Lin Yao’s character, and Lin Yao had also demonstrated his talent fully.

She was well aware of what she wanted the most, so the grievances on Qin Ya’s face disappeared. Her face even broke into a smile. “Got it. Can you do that again? I need to record this. If they see this video, they will agree even if you don’t make a trip there.”

“There’s no need to talk to them anymore. Talk to the Flowery Sect. They’re offering more money. In addition, withdraw some money from the foundation and send me a bottle of Water of Life every day.”

The Armored Body Of Light allowed Lin Yao to recover very quickly. However, he wanted to speed up his recovery even more. A bottle of Water of Life cost 200,000 yuan and was very expensive, but one bottle would allow Lin Yao to have additional in-depth development per day. If he had the means, he would also like to try krypton gold training.

“Okay, I’ll get on it immediately.”

After speaking, Qin Ya left the place again. It didn’t take long before a bottle of Water of Life arrived at the research institute.

When he drank the Water of Life, the power of life in it merged with the power of light in Lin Yao’s body, quickly healing his injuries and reviving his body cells. Half an hour later, Lin Yao began undergoing in-depth development again.

“Are you sure you want to do this? Once a day is already not considered slow. Can your mental strength take it?”

“Go ahead. I can withstand it.”

Gritting his teeth, Lin Yao sat on the electric chair again.

Buzz, buzz.

The smell of barbecue meat was emitted from the glass room. Soon, more than three hours had passed. When the development was over, Lin Yao’s Iron Body had already reached 513%, and he had collapsed on the ground completely.

Two hours later, Lin Yao, who had recovered, frowned deeply when he sensed his physique.

‘The feeling of completeness is getting stronger and stronger!’

Humans had limits at every level. In the absence of spirit energy, an ordinary human wouldn’t be able to become a superhuman no matter how hard they trained.

Although this world had spirit energy, that didn’t mean that one could continuously become stronger at a certain level.

An Iron Person was ultimately an Iron Person and was limited by hypostasis. When the body reached completeness, it would not be able to continue to grow without breaking the shackles and evolving.

The advancement in this world enhanced the intrinsic nature of life.

However, everyone had different talents, so they also had different limits. Take the world in Lin Yao’s past life for example. Some people could grow two meters tall, whereas some people grew 1.5 meters tall. That didn’t mean that one would grow endlessly by constantly being fed resources.

Nevertheless, most people weren’t troubled by this. Due to the shortage of resources, they wouldn’t be able to reach their own limit and would start to evolve as soon as they reached the minimum level.

Of course, Lin Yao was different. His current strengthening speed was rapid and the price to pay for reaching his limit was not that high. Therefore, he wanted to build a deeper foundation at the Iron Person stage.

This was necessary because if he were to keep on advancing when he reached the minimum level, his combat power would weaken. Due to physical defects, one might even get stuck at a certain level and no longer be able to improve the intrinsic nature of life.

‘The progress of my Iron Body is 513%. Now, the feeling of completeness is getting stronger and stronger, but I haven’t reached the limit yet. My limit should be around 800%.’

800% was not a small number and already surpassed the majority of people. After all, one could only advance to 100%. Elites only got to 300%, and geniuses reached 500%. Lin Yao was 300% higher than most geniuses.

However, he was not very satisfied with this. He felt that there were stronger people.

After pondering this for a while, Lin Yao called Professor Li.

“Why are you calling me? Did something go wrong with your body?”

“No. I would like to consult you on something else. Professor, do you know anyone who has tempered their body to tenfold the level of his peers at the martial artist stage?”

Tenfold would come up to 1,000%. Lin Yao was expecting a negative answer, but unfortunately, he was wrong. He was not the only genius in this world.

“Yes. As you’re aware, those who surpass ordinary people five times are considered geniuses. This information is also available on the Internet. There are indeed people who have exceeded five times. Those who do so 10 times are top geniuses, and those who surpass ordinary people 10 times are super-geniuses or demons. I’ve heard of someone who reached 20 times the strength of an ordinary person at the martial artist stage.”

These words left Lin Yao completely speechless. 20 times was 2,000%—this was something Lin Yao had never thought of.

‘Am I that far behind others?’

Lin Yao could not believe it. However, after turning on his thinking speed acceleration, he discovered that this was very likely true.

‘My talent is a combination of the gold-level Celestial Tree and the silver-level Tree of Heaven Punishment. When the two are added, my energy capacity is only at the diamond level. Diamond geniuses are rare but not non-existent in China. Beyond diamond geniuses are king seedlings.’

Was Lin Yao talented?

Of course, he was considered an excellent genius within the Xinghai Prefecture and even the entire country. Nevertheless, that was all.

He was the top genius in Ninghai City, but outside of Ninghai, in the Xinghai Prefecture, there were many people in his league.

Strictly speaking, he was not even a diamond genius. His strongest tree, the Celestial Tree, had a Gold Person hypostasis. The reason he was rated as a diamond genius, and an extraordinary one at that, was the combined effect of his light talent, thunder talent, and Project Thunder God.

His cultivation speed was a dozen times faster than ordinary people’s, and he didn’t need to consume a lot of energy to advance. He could grow strong quickly, and this was why he had been promoted to a diamond genius on an exceptional basis.

However, one’s physical limit was seemingly affected by their hypostasis. When the two sacred trees were combined, his hypostasis was barely a diamond talent. In the entire Chinese land, there were hundreds of people like Lin Yao. As for king seedlings, who belonged in a higher league, there were at least a dozen of them in China and nearly 100 worldwide. Some people might even have the talent of a demigod. The upper limit of these people was definitely higher than Lin Yao’s.

’20 times is not even the limit, and I’m only at 8 times.’

Lin Yao kept sighing. What he didn’t know was that Professor Li was secretly smiling on the other end of the line.

‘Little devil, it’s time you realize there’s always someone better. You are a genius but not the most special one. You don’t need to shoulder the important task of saving the world. Just quit being sophomoric.’

Many people were aware of Lin Yao’s arrogant character. Nevertheless, his arrogance was not related to oppressing others but to becoming the strongest person to protect the world. This was a great ambition, and it was not considered a bad character trait.

Therefore, no one explicitly told Lin Yao to change.

However, they were also afraid that Lin Yao would become overly arrogant, to the extent that he wouldn’t be able to endure failure in the future. Therefore, although Professor Li didn’t say it explicitly, he hinted to Lin Yao that he was not the most special person in existence.

After hinting at this, he also offered some words of consolation, for fear that Lin Yao would get depressed. “Don’t put too much emphasis on the physical gap. It is not only the physique but also the combat skills, profound meaning, and understanding of the law that determine one’s strength… Wait a minute. You’ve heard of Che Zhengyi, right? He’s considered one of the strongest youths in our country, but his physical strength does not even put him in the top 100 geniuses. There’s also Sky Blade, a powerful king figure of the country. His physical body is said to be only at 500%, but he’s also one of the most powerful protectors of China.”

While talking, Professor Li also felt helpless. ‘Sigh… As a researcher, I not only have to care about research affairs but also about the mental health of these young people.’

Fearing that Lin Yao would not be able to take this, Professor Li told him about powerhouses with a lesser body and amazing comprehension ability.

However, what he didn’t know was that Lin Yao wasn’t feeling depressed. His hypostasis was indeed gold now, but unlike others, it was the tree-planting system and not the Celestial Tree that was the source of Lin Yao’s talent.

Lin Yao could, in fact, elevate the hypostasis of the Celestial Tree. At present, he was contemplating whether to temporarily stop training and wait until the elevation of the Celestial Tree’s hypostasis before continuing to advance.

However, Lin Yao gave up on this idea as soon as it formed.

It was not that he didn’t hope for something better. He had just thought of something. Human desires were endless. After elevating the Celestial Tree to a diamond level, Lin Yao would dream of the king level.

With some hard work, Lin Yao would be able to gather 1,000,000 energy points for the advancement of the Celestial Tree. Given Lin Yao’s current strength, it would take him at least 10 years to reach the king level.

This would not change with the support of the rich and powerful families, but if Lin Yao were to stop advancing for a long time, how would these families continue to support him? Without their support, he might need hundreds of years to advance the Celestial Tree.

Even with the support of others, it would take him at least six months to advance to the diamond level. This was too long.

‘I can’t wait, but I can advance at around 800%. The Celestial Tree needs more energy, but the Tree of Heaven Punishment has already accumulated 30,000 energy points and is still short of 70,000 energy points… I’ll get Qin Ya to quickly develop the foundation. I’ll soon be able to accumulate enough points.’

With this plan in mind, Lin Yao no longer pondered this issue. He continued to lie in bed and undergo shallow electric current stimulation.

At eleven o’clock at night, an electric circle was placed on top of Lin Yao’s head to develop his brain.

Due to his skyrocketing mental strength, Lin Yao’s brain development time had become longer and longer. Now, his daily brain development time was close to two minutes.

This time, during the development process, Lin Yao sank his consciousness into the Tree of Heaven Punishment while enduring the head-splitting pain. He then tried his best to recall the meditation image of the Leize Dragon God.

‘Today, my mental strength must break through to 100!’
