I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 205: The Sun Disc

Upon seeing that Lin Yao had been left astonished by the research institute and the people who came to seek development and noticing his expectant gaze, the researcher who greeted Lin Yao also looked somewhat proud.

“Hello, you must be Student Lin Yao. I’m Professor Yan’s assistant, Song Ji. I’m part of Professor Yan’s research team. We already know the purpose of your visit. Please come here and sign your name.”

Lin Yao followed the researcher and went through the procedure to enter the research institute. During the process, Qin Xue, Yan Yu’er, and the rest of the group were not allowed to enter the place.

“Sorry, anyone who is not involved please remain and wait in the lounge.”

These words made Lin Yao frown.

“Can you guys be more accommodating? After the electric current development, I will tremble all over and need someone to take care of me.”

This was neither an excuse, nor did it mean that Lin Yao couldn’t endure the pain. The in-depth electric current development was terrifying, and he certainly needed someone to take care of him. Song Ji, who was leading Lin Yao into the research institute, spoke before the security guard at the entrance could do so.

“This won’t do. Having too many uninvolved people inside will cause chaos. You don’t have to worry about your body. There are medical specialists inside who will take care of you.”

After speaking, he also reminded Lin Yao, “This is a rule.”

“I see.”

In this research institute, Lin Yao was no longer given special treatment, and he had to adhere to the rules. This was the authority of a major established research institute.

Lin Yao respected their rules as well. While looking at the numerous people who came to develop, Lin Yao even thought of settling down in Shanghai permanently. This place was indeed much better than Ninghai.

However, he soon thought of the impact on his subsidies if he were to settle down in Shanghai.

‘I remember that one needs to meet the eligibility requirements before one can settle down in Shanghai. Bronze and iron geniuses are not eligible to apply. If one relies on one’s talent alone without considering one’s merit points and contributions, one has to be at the silver level. However, one will only obtain residency rights. Only golden geniuses will be allocated a house in the suburbs. The treatment of diamond geniuses is better, but the treatment in other prefectures is 10 times better.’

Despite the huge difference in treatment, many people were still willing to settle down in Shanghai.

First of all, over here, there were many powerhouses as well as advanced and developed technology and martial arts. This place had access to the best resources faster. At the same time, one would only grow stronger after mixing in with powerhouses in the long run. Standing out in the crowd for a long time might diminish one’s ambitions and determination.

Second, it was a safe place.

Tianhai City and Ninghai City might be invaded, and in the event of an invasion, people would be plunged into an abyss of misery, deaths would occur everywhere, and the golden-level fighters might not survive. Things were different for Shanghai. On the list of cities most difficult to invade, Shanghai was definitely one of the cities at the top. Therefore, for the sake of safety, the most capable people would rack their brains for ways to become one of its residents.

Even if they were not doing it for themselves and were willing to venture out to fight, their parents, siblings, wives, and children would need a safe home.

This also applied to Lin Yao. The subsidies of Shanghai were too little, and he was not willing to live here. Of course, Lin Yao didn’t want to go to an ordinary prefecture and become a patroller there.

‘If I want to get a lot of merit points, the prefectures in the midst of war are certainly the best choice. I can be stationed there, but it would be best to bring my parents here to live.’

This was Lin Yao’s thought, as well as what some people were trying to achieve.

As Lin Yao followed the researcher into the institute, he contemplated settling down in Shanghai.

The research institute was huge. 10 minutes later, whilst Lin Yao was pondering his future, the two of them arrived at an open field. This field was somewhat special. A golden, circular object was suspended in the sky, glowing like a sun.

At the same time, more than a dozen electric chairs stood under the sun, and people were queuing up to undergo electric current development.

Elites from all around the country congregated there, so the martial artists in Shanghai were stronger than those in the smaller cities. However, the purpose of in-depth electric current development was to break the body limit and strengthen the body through cycles of destruction and recovery. Therefore, it didn’t matter how strong those people were. The stronger one was, the greater the intensity of the electric current development would be.

Of course, this was also because the spirit energy, thunder, and lightning contained the two extremes of ‘yin’ and ‘yang’. There was the total destruction of the ‘yin’ and the vitality of the ‘yang’. In some legends, the thunderous weather in spring was the start of the revival of all things on earth and represented the revival of life. In some myths, thunder and lightning were involved in the birth of life. Due to this and various other reasons, thunder and lightning could strengthen the body.

At the same time, because humans could control the intensity of the electric current and electricity was cheap, thunder geniuses could utilize in-depth electric current development to develop their bodies. This was the reason it was recognized universally.

However, this time, Lin Yao was not referring to the principle of electric current development or the reason for its universal recognition. His attention had been captured by the howls of the dozen people on the field.

When he saw the dozen of thunder geniuses suffering from urinary incontinence, twitching their faces, and rolling their eyes due to the electric shocks, Lin Yao’s body trembled involuntarily.

He had also been through this embarrassing state when he had first started undergoing development. Although the angel’s God’s Virtue made Lin Yao fearless and bold when facing danger, this would not reduce his pain and suffering in the process. The body’s reaction to electrocution would not disappear because of this.

Brave Soul made Lin Yao fearless in the face of these dangers, and he would not be overwhelmed by fear. However, there was no way he could eliminate the natural reaction of the body.

“Don’t tell me you brought me here to undergo electric current development?!”

Although he had accepted that he would end up in an embarrassing state after the development, Lin Yao didn’t want to be seen in that state by that many strangers.

Unfortunately, Song Ji didn’t agree with Lin Yao’s words. He spoke with some envy.

“This is the most suitable place for you. I know you applied for individual development. Although I don’t know how you did it, your request has been granted. However, individual development will be held in an enclosed room, and this does not meet your requirements.”

At this point during his speech, Song Ji embraced the entire field with both hands and said proudly, “This is the Sun Radiance—a super rune array built by the University of Monster Science and Technology by using the sun disc. Did you see that golden light ball? It is the sun disc, a treasure from a desert kingdom in a certain mystic realm and the core of the Sun Radiance. After absorbing the power of the sun, the sun disc will emit the power of light, which can heal the human body. You’ll be able to last for a longer time if you undergo in-depth development here.”

Without Senior Song Ji saying it, Lin Yao had already sensed the benefits of the Sun Radiance. Developing his body here would be akin to having a smaller Armored Body Of Light. This would make thunder geniuses experience amazing advancement. He was the best living example. The Armored Body Of Light was the core reason for his rapid advancement. Without it, his improvement would have been 10 times slower than it was currently.

When the students of University of Monster Science and Technology trained here, it was akin to them possessing Lin Yao’s talent, albeit a reduced version of it.

This field had also made Lin Yao realize the strength of Shanghai. Training required resources. In the past, Lin Yao had thought he didn’t need resources because he had the Armored Body Of Light, thunder, and lightning.

As he came into contact with more things, he realized how naive he had been.

Geniuses also needed resources. Of course, Lin Yao was very talented and could improve quickly even without them. Nevertheless, it would be faster if he were to use them.

Take the in-depth current development for example. At the moment, Lin Yao could undergo in-depth current development and brain development once a day. action

This was much better than other people, who needed to rest for 10 to 14 days after each round of development. However, the children of the rich and powerful families had a similar training speed as Lin Yao.

Why was that so?

Nutrient drinks, Water of Life No. 1 (martial artists), Water of Life No. 2 (warlords), Water of Life No. 3 (silver warlords), Peacebloom Water, Moon Essence, and Blue Dream… All of these were secret potions that could quickly restore the body and one’s mental strength.

The children of rich and powerful families might not have strong talent but they had the money to buy nutrient drinks. With their consumption, their training speed was not weak either.

They were able to keep up with Lin Yao’s cultivation speed. Of course, it was very costly. This was what Lin Yao meant when he’d said one needed a million yuan to train every day.

He could also practice this way. Furthermore, with the Armored Body Of Light, he was very strong when it came to absorbing the power of light. As for the holy water series produced in the West, Lin Yao’s absorption efficiency was thrice that of his peers.

In other words, a bottle of holy water was enough for Lin Yao to use it three times.

‘Unfortunately, my physical strength is too great. This is good, as it allows me to maintain a strong combat power, which lays a solid foundation for me. However, I’ll also need to consume a lot of resources to recover from my injuries.’

Although Lin Yao’s absorption efficiency was amazing, a strong physical body meant that he had to consume a bottle of No.7 Holy Water in order to develop his body twice a day.

What made Lin Yao truly excited and yet also upset was that his Armored Body Of Light was too strong. Others wouldn’t dare continue after two development rounds a day for fear that their body would collapse and the nutrients wouldn’t be able to heal their body fully. This would cause the body to suffer from hidden injuries and affect its foundation, which was not worth the effort.

Therefore, even if a thunder genius was rich, they couldn’t develop their body more than once a day but every two to three days.

However, it was different for Lin Yao, who had the Armored Body Of Light. He hadn’t sensed it when absorbing the Water of Life, but when he absorbed the holy water made by the light energy, he was surprised to discover his high absorption efficiency. If he were to absorb the holy water, he could consume two bottles and go through three in-depth electric current development rounds a day.

With two bottles of No. 7 Holy Water (for warlords) and a bottle of Moon Essence (to heal the damage caused after the brain development), Lin Yao would have to take three bottles of nutrient drinks a day in order to keep up with his full advancement.

This was the reason he had come to Shanghai. The slow cultivation speed in Ninghai City could no longer satisfy Lin Yao. He needed money. A lot of money.

His foundation, whose purpose was to collect green energy, needed a lot of funds. The same applied to his training.

When he had first arrived, Lin Yao had originally thought that three in-depth electric current development rounds and two brain development rounds a day were already the limit.

Nevertheless, Shanghai had given Lin Yao a pleasant surprise. The sun disc was not only useful to ordinary people but also had an auxiliary effect on Lin Yao. As he stood in the field, he had a feeling that the blessing of his Armored Body Of Light had increased, advancing from LV7 to LV8. Although this would not allow Lin Yao to undergo another round of in-depth electric current development, it would extend the duration of the development process, thereby increasing his training speed indirectly.

‘If I consume all the nutrients and train here all day long, my training speed will be comparable to the speed of individuals with king endowment.’
