I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 229: The Moon In the Lake

“Student Lin Yao was the one who broke the mirror space. Since he was able to crack the mirror space, it shouldn’t be a problem for Student Lin Yao to become a king seedling, right?”

“Of course, it won’t be a problem. There is no issue with his physical talent. If he is slightly lacking comprehension ability, we still have the Bodhi Tree seed.”

China had the Bodhi Tree seed, and wearing it for a long time could increase the comprehension ability of human beings. However, in the past, no one had thought of giving this item to Lin Yao.

This was mainly because China had many people who were close to attaining a breakthrough to become a king seedling. If Lin Yao had not made a contribution, why would they give him the Bodhi seed?

Nevertheless, the situation had changed.

“With the Bodhi seed, Student Lin Yao has a very high probability of becoming a king. We have the core member, and the supplies are not an issue. What about manpower?”

“Although light geniuses are hard to come by, it is not a problem to gather a substantial number of them to form a corps. If that doesn’t work out, we’ll send troops to the Firewood Plains. That place has items that can bestow the fighters with holy light attributes.”

Human talents were not static. Some treasures would be able to give them attributes and talents. However, these treasures were extremely precious and difficult to replicate.

There were also treasures given to humans on a large-scale basis, but there were two problems. First, it was very costly to activate such treasures. Second, such talents were not outstanding and would come with a price. The Firewood Plains belonged to the former category.

“What about techniques and belief?”

“Techniques can be deduced, studied, or gathered secretly. As for belief… we can learn from Uruti[1], who abandoned the gods and believed in the holy light itself.”

“This is not a bad idea. The holy light itself represents prosperity, democracy, and… friendship. The core values of the Holy Light Legion can be developed in this direction.”

“Actually, I’ve always thought the Holy Light Legion is good. They have a very strong will. It would not be wrong to say that their defense is the best in the world.”

“I share the same thought. Their combat power is truly unparalleled during daytime.”

When something didn’t belong to them, the stronger it became, the more troubled they would feel. Nevertheless, when it became theirs, it became a good thing.

This was akin to a nuclear bomb, which was a human-killing machine to countries that didn’t have one. Of course, it was necessary and best to annihilate everything that was inhumane.

Nevertheless, this thought would change if one’s country had a nuclear bomb.

Right now, the Paladin Legion had become something easily attainable by China.

The problems of manpower, adequate supplies, and techniques could be solved. There was also no issue with the belief and values, and they had found the core general. With everything ready, they would of course like the Paladin Legion to be as powerful as possible.

At the same time, if the Paladin Legion performed exceedingly well, Lin Yao, as a core member, would naturally become the top priority.

“Send someone for the rescue immediately… Forget it, please get Major-General Yu to do this.”

After he finished his words, the group of big bosses faced each other. There were quite a few major generals with the surname Yu in China, but when the military representative gave this order, he was obviously referring to the king-level major general stationed at his place.

Sending a king to deal with a low chaos-level freak was certainly as suspicious as using a cannon to shoot mosquitoes, but it also went to show how much this person valued Lin Yao.

However, this was also understandable. The core position of a legion was already very high-ranking. When this legion was strong enough to compete for the top legion on the Blue Planet, as the core member, Lin Yao’s status would naturally skyrocket.

Lin Yao didn’t know what was happening outside. At that moment, he was dealing with the attacks of the freak.

The people in the boat no longer had fear in their hearts due to the blessing of the Brave Soul. This had made the freak at the bottom of the lake, which turned the terror in one’s heart into the unknown, useless. However, the attacks of the other freaks had not stopped. At this critical moment, the mirror space was also going all out during the fight. It had released all the freaks, including all the servant corpses that had died in the mirror previously, to attack Lin Yao.

Soon, Lin Yao and the group heard banging sounds from the bottom of the viewing boat, and the boat started swaying violently.

A freak was attacking the boat from beneath it.

The freaks in the deep lake waters were attacking the only boat in the waters. This was a very terrifying situation. Humans were terrestrial beings who were afraid of falling into the water. In particular, water with a freak underneath was enough to scare children into crying. action

In Lin Yao’s past world, some of the parents had resorted to threatening their children with water ghosts to prevent them from falling into the water. This was the deterring effect the strange and mysterious deep waters had on humans.

However, at the moment, this deterrence had disappeared. Although the boat would only shake when the freaks under the water attacked it, everyone had lost their fear. The young man who was cruising the lake even wanted to undress and enter the lake to fight with the freaks.

“I am fearless.”

“Don’t… Don’t… There is no need to do that. You guys just have to stay above the water and keep watch.”

It could only be said that the effect of Brave Soul was excellent. After being strengthened by this buff, even the most timid people had the fearless heart of a hero.

Unfortunately, they only had the courage and not the strength of a hero.

“Leave the rest to me.”

As Lin Yao said this, thunderbolts emanated from his body into the surrounding area and struck the surface of the lake.

Boom!

The sounds of the thunderbolts were shrill, and the lightning was dazzling. Lin Yao had released a massive amount of thunder and lightning into the lake, which brought about an excellent effect. Lake waters were a conductor of electricity. When the ravaging thunderbolts fell on the lake surface, thunder and lightning also spread with the water currents, transforming them from a single attack to an area of attack.

After Lin Yao struck the water with the thunderbolts, within a very short time, the area around the viewing boat turned into a purgatory of thunderbolts. The leaping thunder and lightning didn’t dissipate in the lake for a long time. As a result, a massive number of servant corpses were completely turned into ashes. The freaks hidden at the bottom of the lake were not in a good state either. They were screaming miserably one after another.

In order to attack better, Lin Yao even left the viewing boat and dived straight into the lake.

“You must really be an idiot to use the lake as the main battlefield!”

Lin Yao was possessed by the feathered serpent and holding the power of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, so the bottom of the lake was his home court.

However, Lin Yao was wrong to think that the mirror space was stupid. Under normal circumstances, one’s combat power would be reduced by more than half if one was pulled into the water.

Due to the left-right reversal, coupled with being underwater, the martial artist might simply drown. However, Lin Yao was an ‘alien’. The lake not only didn’t reduce his combat power but also strengthened it.

After entering the lake, Lin Yao didn’t even need to attack the enemy. Upon finding the enemy, he just needed to continue venting the thunder and lightning in his body and then control the water currents to travel to the enemy.

The effect of this approach was terrifying. Due to the continuous electric currents and conductive lake waters, the surrounding area within a radius of several hundred meters from Lin Yao had already been covered by electric currents. The terrifying electricity would eliminate everything as soon as the freaks got near him. He didn’t even need to attack them.

Thanks to this form of indiscriminate attack, the servant corpses and freaks were soon annihilated.

During the process, some of the freaks launched attacks on the people on the viewing boat.

However, the effect of their attacks was not that good. After being blessed by Lin Yao, the group of people above the water had temporarily transformed into Armored Body Of Light. Their bodies were also filled with holy power, and light had the ability to purify negative effects. As a result, the power of light would eliminate most of the negative external forces acting on the body.

Because of the rules of the freaks, the freaks might attain victory after a moment of being in a stalemate. Nevertheless, during this time, Lin Yao had already electrocuted all the freaks to burnt ashes.

‘Now, you’re the last one standing.’

In the middle of the lake, Lin Yao, who had been relying on his Electricity-Absorbing Physique to absorb the electricity of the storage battery in his backpack (the storage battery was waterproof), looked at the bottom of the lake with a cold and aloof gaze.

Over there, a full moon was reflected on the bottom of the lake.

It was very normal to see a reflection of the moon in the lake. However, this moon reflection was as broken as a mirror.

‘The reflection of the moon is the actual body of the mirror freak!’

Guarding himself against the distortion of the space, Lin Yao gingerly dashed down.

However, something that left Lin Yao dumbfounded soon appeared. He didn’t know what kind of conditions he had triggered. As Lin Yao headed down, he felt extreme danger behind him. The mirror freak had actually activated its abilities.

This particular ability was neither space transfer nor space distortion, which it had used in the past, but a new ability that left Lin Yao dumbstruck when he saw it.

‘You can actually do this?’

The shocked and speechless voice went to show how surprised Lin Yao felt. Nevertheless, he soon came back to his senses.

‘That’s right. Strictly speaking, this is the intrinsic nature of a mirror, right?

‘What is the essence of a mirror? What do humans often use mirrors for?’

As Lin Yao kept pondering this, following the successful activation of the mirror’s intrinsic ability, a freak with a distorted expression stood in front of him.

The image of that freak was surprisingly identical to… Lin Yao’s!
