I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 202: Attack, Super Electromagnetic Gun!

“If you give in and apologize, it will mean that you can reform and mend your ways. I will reluctantly accept your apology.”

It was also arrogant of him to have such a thought. The only thing he had not expected was that Lin Yao would have joined the dojo simply for money and would not value the dojo that he was so proud of. Lin Yao did not care for its connections and power and fell out with them.

He had made a mistake by failing to anticipate that Lin Yao would react this way, and he was also questioned by the elders of the centrist faction.

After all, he was only a principal disciple of his generation, not the master. In fact, even the master of the Flowery Sect could not decide everything by himself.

“If he has a problem, you can talk to him privately. Now that the situation has come to this, it has become a laughing stock. This is terrible.”

Some of the elders were unhappy. Lǚ Yang might be arrogant, but he was not stupid. Seeing that some people were displeased, he quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, Third Elder. It is my fault. I didn’t expect…”

“Alright, Third Brother. Xiao Yang was indeed wrong, but he also made a great contribution to ferret out a spokesperson who doesn’t care about the honor of the Flowery Sect. Otherwise, given his temperament, he would have caused us some trouble sooner or later.”

“Then how should we deal with this matter?”

“We’ll just do what we should do. Didn’t he tell us to terminate the contract because we breached it? He is not a judge. He does not have the final say. It doesn’t work this way. Let him send a lawyer’s letter and get people to delay the proceedings for a year and a half. Oh, by the way, during the time the lawsuit is ongoing, according to the contract, he can’t be the spokesperson of other dojos. Otherwise, he would breach the contract as well.”

After speaking, the old man laughed.

“Young people are still too impulsive. What I’m doing is for his own benefit. It’s a blessing to suffer.”

“The Fifth Elder has given it thorough thought.”

In a few words, they had already made a decision to suppress Lin Yao’s development in the name of doing this for Lin Yao’s good, which was downright disgusting.

They did cause Lin Yao problems. Initially, he had been thinking of getting a large sum of money after the Flowery Sect breached the contract and using the money to quickly improve himself.

However, the delay tactic adopted by the Flowery Sect prevented Lin Yao from endorsing other dojos in the next year. This was also a common way for large companies to deal with ordinary people.

However, Lin Yao was no ordinary person, and he was disgusted by the Flowery Sect’s approach, which stopped him from leaving.

‘You should have just compensated me with money. You guys shouldn’t have forced me!’

As he turned his head to look behind him, Lin Yao’s eyes flashed with a dangerous light, and he looked at Qin Ya.

“I remember that anyone can participate in the Flowery Sect’s gatekeeper challenge. Am I right?”

“Yes.”

The Flowery Sect’s original intention of allowing other dojos to participate in their own competition was not about being friendly or maintaining a harmonious relationship with them. Instead, they were helpless. If they did not do so, someone would challenge the champion every time the competition was over. They would even block the entrance. action

Once such a thing happened, no one would dare to send their children over. Therefore, they could only be rid of the restrictions and defeat the contestants through internal operations in order to ensure the victory of their dojo.

Right now, Lin Yao could only praise this rule.

While looking at Lin Yao’s dangerous smile, Qin Ya thought of something, and her expression changed. “Don’t tell me you intend to challenge them?”

“Why not? Since they dare to use such underhanded methods to deal with me, they must be prepared for my revenge.”

After speaking, Lin Yao was about to jump into the arena but was blocked by Jin Cheng, who was groomed by Qin Ya.

“You can’t do this. Once you do that, our relationship with the Flowery Sect will be completely over. I think it’d be best for you to negotiate with the Flowery Sect in private.”

Jin Cheng did not like Lin Yao, but in order to avoid being disliked by Qin Ya, he would still put up a harmonious front in front of her. At the same time, he was also afraid that Lin Yao’s fallout with the Flowery Sect would implicate him.

Most people would also prefer to settle this in private. Unfortunately, he might feel that he was offering a solution, but Lin Yao did not appreciate it at all.

“My relationship with them ended long ago. Besides, there’s no ‘we’ here. I’m not on close terms with you.”

“You… We are colleagues working for the same company. You can’t just care about yourself!”

“No, we are not. You are you, and I am me.”

When he said that, Lin Yao looked at Qin Ya next to him.

“The contract we signed doesn’t have a clause that tells me to guide and support others!”

Qin Ya had a strong ability to manage and handle work-related matters. Lin Yao highly valued her abilities, and this was why he was still willing to work with her despite knowing that her focus was on her company.

However, this was all he could tolerate. He could accept that Qin Ya juggled him and her company, but he could absolutely not accept that she disregarded his interests for the benefit of other people in her company. He had never thought of forming a team with others or wasting his time helping them.

Lin Yao was Lin Yao, the other geniuses in the company were not related to him, and they had no connection to him whatsoever.

Lin Yao stared at Qin Ya, waiting for her to make a decision. If she tried to gloss over it and say that they were on the same team or were partners, Lin Yao would find a way to terminate the contract. Of course, he would also find a way to return the initial investment.

Qin Ya did not hesitate upon feeling Lin Yao’s gaze and nodded. “They have nothing to do with you. Mr. Lin Yao is not an artist of our company. I am his manager on my own.”

“Did you hear that? Stop saying that we are a team.”

“You…”

“Alright, Second Brother. Let’s move aside. This lad looks down on us.”

That person was mocking Lin Yao for being arrogant. However, Lin Yao nodded in agreement.

“There is indeed someone who is smart here. Yes, I looked down on all of you.”

Since Lin Yao had no intention of staying in contact with them, he wanted to make things clear. Therefore, he used the most decisive and heartless tone he could with them. Qin Ya’s artists could not help feeling displeased.

“Young lad, you are being too bold and arrogant.”

“Yes.”

Lin Yao agreed that he was being bold and arrogant. He noticed that there was a vacancy in the arena and jumped into it with a small kick.

There was someone else in the arena with him. However, that person was shocked upon seeing Lin Yao.

“Why are you up here again?”

“To challenge them. I heard that the Flowery Sect is all about making friends through martial arts. Although I think this is fabricated and they can’t wait to kill the outsiders, the reward is good and I want it. Hence, here I am… Brother, can I go first? It will be over within seconds.”

“Uh, after you, after you.”

That person was reminded of the sight of Lin Yao transforming into the god of thunder and nodded quickly. He did not dare linger in the arena, so he quickly jumped off. Right now, there was a unique situation in the arena at the gate of the Flowery Sect. The gatekeeper would be up against another gatekeeper, who had quit.

Perhaps it was luck or something else. The arena that Lin Yao was in was actually the one that he had jumped away from earlier.

This time, it was not intentional. He had just jumped into the arena because there was a vacancy. He had not expected such a coincidence.

Unfortunately, he might have thought it was a coincidence, but others did not think so.

Seeing that Lin Yao, who had just jumped down from the arena, had jumped in again, the onlookers felt that something serious was going to unfold. In particular, the reporters could not help but tremble, as they felt that they had spotted big news.

“They are turning against each other. The gatekeeper refused to be humiliated and took the stage to provoke the Flowery Sect!”

“A duel between gatekeepers. Internal division of the Flowery Sect.”

“Shocking! A rebellious genius actually did such a thing…”

“If there are any slips-up during the celebration, can the Flowery Sect still maintain its mighty reputation?”

The reporters instantaneously thought of several news headlines, and then everyone looked enthusiastically at Lin Yao in the arena.

The reporters reacted quickly, and so did the onlookers. Soon, they understood what had happened, and they appeared very excited. According to a saying, people enjoyed watching a bustling scene. Since there was something interesting going on, the onlookers discussed among themselves. In the meantime, they called out to their friends, getting them to join in the excitement.

These ordinary people were interested in watching a good show, as what was happening did not concern them. Seeing that Lin Yao got into the arena, the elders of the Flowery Sect who were in the VIP room looked displeased.

Given the Flowery Sect’s power, if Lin Yao had left just now, they could easily have kept things under control and even discredited him in turn.

However, this tactic would not work anymore. Lin Yao had taken the stage to challenge them. If he won, he would definitely make things difficult for them. As long as he had a good result, it would be extremely embarrassing for them.

No matter where one was, forcing geniuses to leave did not lead to a good reputation. It might even affect their talent recruitment.

“Sure enough, I knew he was an ingrate.”

It was the fifth elder who said this. He had obviously forgotten that what had pushed Lin Yao to enter the arena was the training that he had proposed.

Flaunting one’s age or seniority might work in the Flowery Sect, but Lin Yao paid no attention to him.

People just could not discipline themselves. He would never feel that he was at fault. In his opinion, everything was Lin Yao’s fault. He should not have gotten mad on the spot, nor should he have a temper. He should have just apologized, just like his elder brother’s grandson had said, and everything would have been settled.

The man, who looked unhappy, spoke to the gatekeepers below through sound transmission. “Do your best to defeat that traitor. If you win, I will take you in as my disciple.”

“Thank you, Elder.”

Lin Yao couldn’t care less about the Flowery Sect, but there were still a lot of people who wanted to join the dojo. The young man in front of him was one of them. After the elder gave his promise to him, he launched an attack right away.

He swiped his palm over his belt, and in an instant, 12 flying daggers were suspended in front of him.

The Flowery Sect was indeed powerful. Lin Yao had just jumped off the arena, and they’d found a strong disciple to defend the arena.

Lin Yao had also watched the battle just now. Perhaps he was talented or it was due to his technique, but this young man displayed exquisite skills when he manipulated the flying daggers with his hands. It was as though he was controlling a sword.

Besides, compared to controlling a sword, the flying dagger had another advantage: It was flexible. Since the flying dagger was smaller, it was easier to manipulate and steer it. The flying daggers would be fairly difficult to deal with.

The challenger had been attacked by three flying daggers just now. As the speed of the flying daggers was too fast, he had difficulty defending himself against even one dagger and had been easily defeated.

The young man, who was confident about his abilities, stared at Lin Yao without fear but full of excitement.

“Thank you. I won’t forget you after the elder accepts me as his disciple.”

“It’s good that you’re happy.”

After speaking, Lin Yao did not act immediately. Instead, he looked at the referee next to him.

Yes, there were referees at the competition, and they were not sent by the Flowery Sect. According to the competition rules set by the country, one was allowed to hold arena competitions, but there had to be a professional referee around to prevent accidents from happening.

The referee had not taken action during Lin Yao’s previous battle. Lin Yao might be ruthless, but he had merely inflicted some injuries on the people who insulted him and did not intend to kill them. The referee had not interfered because he felt that Lin Yao was showing his opponents mercy.

Right now, Lin Yao looked at the referee and said in a serious tone, “Mr. Referee, please keep a watch on the opposing side. I learned this move not long ago. This is the first time I am using it against someone. I might not be able to control its power. It would not be good if I killed someone.”

“Scoundrel, you are underestimating me!”

“No.” The expression of the young man who could manipulate flying daggers softened slightly at his words. However, the next moment, he turned angrily upon hearing Lin Yao’s subsequent comment. “I’m just telling the truth.”

“Do you mean that killing me with one move is a given? Scoundrel! Don’t compare me to ordinary geniuses. You might be number one in the city, but so am I!”

Due to his anger, the flying daggers around the young man revolved around his body at an extremely fast speed. The quickly-rotating flying daggers even formed an afterimage, and the cutting air sizzled.

This person was really strong, and he had inherited a unique legacy. The 12 flying daggers were not flying randomly. Instead, they seemed to form a special battle formation.

Unfortunately, Lin Yao was not afraid of such strength.

He took a token out of his pocket with an expectant look on his face.

“A word of warning. Employ all your defenses. Otherwise, if you die, don’t blame me for not warning you.

“This warning is for you!”

…

“I didn’t expect this kid to provoke others.”

While looking at the two people who had provoked each other in the arena, a magnificent middle-aged man in the VIP room smiled and spoke.

“These are just small tricks. What matters the most in the arena is one’s abilities.”

“Although that imp is arrogant, he is fairly powerful. He is powerful enough to be arrogant. Is it really okay for you to discard such a genius?”

The expressions of the elders of the Flowery Sect darkened when they heard the mocking words of the masters from other dojos. They knew that the Flowery Sect had been thoroughly shamed after this ruckus.

Lǚ Yang also clenched his fists. He could feel that more and more people were dissatisfied with him.

However, like the Fifth Elder, those who were angry did not think it was their fault. Instead, it was the scoundrel in the arena who was in the wrong.

“How dare you insult the Flowery Sect? Imp, you’re done for.”

…

“Young lad, how dare you provoke me? You are doomed.”

While the guests in the VIP room amused themselves by watching the Flowery Sect make a fool of themselves, the battle below had already begun. As the referee swung his hand downward, the young man who manipulated the flying daggers yelled on the spot. He swung his hands, and 12 daggers combined to form a swimming fish that flew through the air toward Lin Yao.

Flying Dagger Manipulation—Swimming Ichthyosaur Formation!

The combined flying dagger fish had an inexplicable charm. The flying daggers flew in the air like a fish swimming in the water, and their speed was scary.

However, Lin Yao did not even glance at the daggers. Instead, his attention was on his fingertips.

When the referee lifted his palm, Lin Yao flicked his thumb, and the token in his hand bounced up.

When the referee swung his hand downward, signaling the start of the match, Lin Yao’s expression changed instantaneously. His charming gaze was replaced by a cold, indifferent look, and electric light filled his eyes.

[Second Level of the Gene Lock—Thinking Speed Acceleration]

The Thunderbolt Mark on Lin Yao’s forehead enabled him to activate accelerated thinking with a simple thought. When he activated the accelerated thinking, he knew that with his increased arithmetic ability and the ability to control his own power, his long-awaited skill had finally reached a level that allowed it to be unleashed.

‘Let me see how powerful it is when used against the enemy.’

He did not feel the slight hesitation. As his thinking speed accelerated, he saw the flying daggers in the distance form an ichthyosaur and also saw that the token that he had flipped into the air was slowly falling down.

He even sensed that, in addition to the 12 flying daggers in front of him, there was also a colorless, transparent flying dagger hidden in the group of flying daggers.

Lin Yao ignored his opponent’s hidden move and focused on himself. When he sensed that the token had dropped, he stretched out his right hand.

There was a click, and electric light appeared on Lin Yao’s arm, enveloping it.

The violent electric light was restrained by mental strength and was faintly stretched into two straight lines as a strong magnetic field formed between Lin Yao’s arms.

Lightning flashed in his eyes, and his arms were surrounded by lightning. By now, one could tell what Lin Yao’s move was: the Super Electromagnetic Gun!
