I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 123 - Heavenly Thunder!

Chapter 123: Heavenly Thunder!

“Cough, cough…”

After he coughed twice in embarra.s.sment, Zhang Feng’s expression turned solemn again.

“However, please don’t think you can defeat me. Guiding and mobilizing other people’s blood and aura is not my only talent.”

When he finished his words, Zhang Feng’s body suddenly turned red, and his eyes were also blood-red in color.

The moment his body became red, Lin Yao felt a sudden, tremendous increase of the threat from the opposite side. This was similar to when Di Qiang had unlocked a gene lock.

Lin Yao was wary of the sudden increase in strength. However, before he could react, Zhang Feng had leaped on the ground with a single step. His figure transformed into a blood-red shadow, pouncing on Lin Yao.

He was so fast that Lin Yao could only see an afterimage of him.

‘He’s really fast. I won’t be able to stop his attack with my actual body.’

The strength of Zhang Feng, whose entire body had turned red, had increased multiple-fold. Sensing that he was no match for this move, Lin Yao instinctively blew up the thunderous vital energy seed in his body, making the electric current flow to his brain and activating the thinking speed acceleration.

The increase in arithmetic power after the electric current flowed to the brain slowed down everything in Lin Yao’s eyes, and Lin Yao could catch a clear glimpse of that flying blood-red shadow.

After perceiving it, Lin Yao instinctively wanted to use the electricity’s power to stimulate his muscles and unlock the shackles on his body. This was so that he could unleash ma.s.sive strength to fight against Zhang Feng, who was one level above him.

However, Lin Yao’s arithmetic ability had increased tremendously. Before he could execute such a move, he suddenly felt thunder and lightning mounting in the sky.

Instinctively, an idea flashed across Lin Yao’s mind. An electric light flashed in his hand, and he pointed his right hand at Zhang Feng, who pounced on him.

Boom! As Lin Yao moved his finger forward, sounds of thunder and lightning echoed between the sky and earth. Amid the loud roars, a striking bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and greeted everyone’s eyes, illuminating the sky and earth for a sudden moment.

Boom!

The abrupt booms of thunder stupefied everyone. Although the striking bolt of lightning disappeared in a flash, it dazzled many people.

‘What a close thunder sound.’

“d.a.m.n it! I was just focusing on the battle in the arena when this thunderous sound suddenly came. It almost scared me to death.”

“By the way, did you guys discover something? Student Lin Yao has been training under the sun all this while. Before the rain fell, he stubbornly insisted on continuing to train and refused to partic.i.p.ate in the group training. Even Zhang Feng couldn’t change his mind. However, as soon as it rained, he got ready for the group training. Don’t you find this strange?”

“What’s so strange about this? You’ll understand this after you look at this flas.h.i.+ng ability. Student Lin Yao definitely has a light talent. People with such talents can cultivate faster under the sun. Their cultivation speed will be slower during the night and on rainy days. Isn’t this very normal?”

“It seems that I wasn’t the only one who noticed this, but Student Lin Yao is going to be miserable this time. His strength will at least drop by half when he fights on rainy days.”

“Even without the rain, Student Zhang Feng will be able to defeat…”

“Zhang Feng!”

Lin Yao rarely concealed his abilities, and many of his cla.s.smates had guessed his strength. At the moment, many of them were gloating upon seeing that Lin Yao was going to fight on a rainy day.

Some people even felt that Zhang Feng was going to have a stroke of luck. However, before they could stop flattering him, a miserable shout was heard from the side of the arena.

The person shouting was also from the top cla.s.s. It was Zhang Feng’s girlfriend.

While the rest of the cla.s.s had been startled by the thunderous sound and had started conversing with one another, she had been paying attention to the movements in the arena. Thus, she was the first to discover that Zhang Feng was in a miserable state.

“Zhang Feng, are you alright? Don’t give me a fright.”

As she spoke, the girl dashed toward the arena, but Instructor Tu was faster than her.

“Call an ambulance.”

Their shouts had attracted everyone’s attention. When the others turned their gazes toward the arena, a charred figure soon appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.

Many people were confused upon seeing the charred figure.

‘What is that?’

Of course, this thought only lasted for a moment in their minds. Soon, gasps of shock were heard in the surrounding area.

“That is… Zhang Feng.”

“What happened to him?”

“What else? He was struck by lightning.”

“d.a.m.n! How did he… It’s normal to have thunder on a rainy day, but the lightning actually struck his head. Is he that unlucky?”

While looking at the lightning-struck Zhang Feng, some of his cla.s.smates were at a loss for words. On the other hand, many people were staring at Lin Yao in shock.

“By the way, I heard that Student Lin Yao has thunder talent.”

“It’s true. His warcry is akin to the sound of thunder. This can only be achieved by low-level martial artists with thunderbolt talent.”

“Oh no, can’t this guy also mobilize Heavenly Thunder…”

“Can a martial artist mobilize Heavenly Thunder? d.a.m.n! What a joke!”

“Ss… I initially thought that Lin Yao would become much weaker when it rained, but now it seems that he is the strongest when it rains.”

“d.a.m.n it! I was completely wrong. Fortunately, I didn’t provoke him on a rainy day, or I would have been the miserable one now.”

“Student Lin Yao can actually summon the Heavenly Thunder. Exactly how strong is his thunder talent?”

One by one, sounds of discussions were heard. Even Lin Yao himself was stunned. He hadn’t expected that he would be able to use Heavenly Thunder to kill an opponent.

“No, I can’t create Heavenly Thunder. That thunderbolt came with the rain. All I did was perceive and guide it.”

Creating thunder out of thin air and guiding thunder came with different levels of difficulty. Of course, this was enough to prove how strong Lin Yao’s talent was. It was impossible for ordinary thunder geniuses to guide thunder to the earth before reaching LV3 or LV4.

The Heavenly Thunder strike had completely defeated Zhang Feng, which was something that Instructor Tu hadn’t expected. He had meant to polish off Lin Yao’s arrogance and make him abide by the rules and stay grounded.

At the moment, Zhang Feng had been defeated. The rain and booms of thunder continued, and no one was willing to fight with Lin Yao. Under the circ.u.mstances, Instructor Tu Hong could only allow Lin Yao to act as he wished.

“You can do as you please.”

“No, I’d better come over and train.”

Due to the heavy rain, Lin Yao was unable to go to the research inst.i.tute for training. Therefore, he called the inst.i.tute. Lin Yao might as well remain in the school to train with Yan Yan, Tu Ying, and s.h.i.+ Qiang.

However, this group training only involved four people, as the strongest, Zhang Feng, had been hospitalized due to Lin Yao’s lightning strike.

Fortunately, Lin Yao and the others were not going to form a fixed team, as their combat skills were not that compatible with one another. Thus, they only needed to familiarize themselves with their teammates’ abilities so that they would not be confused during the team compet.i.tion.

While they trained, Lin Yao learned about the abilities of his few teammates. s.h.i.+ Qiang had steel fusion talent. He had also mastered the Dragon Elephant Prajñā Technique, t.i.tanium Body, and Lion’s Roar, and his main battle style was frontal combat.

Yan Yan had frost talent. She practiced the Lunar Moon (diamond) technique, had mastered the combat skills Ice Sparrow (gold), Moon Palm (diamond), Snow Dart Sparrow (gold), and Ice World (diamond), and could use the sharp blades and coldness of ice to freeze and kill the enemy.

Tu Ying was an advanced martial artist and the only person amongst the five without talent. He was in the top five due to his strength as an advanced martial artist and his comprehensive ability.

His abilities were Iron-Blooded Battle, Thirteen-Hero Iron Jersey, and Iron-Blooded Divine Spear. He also had the profound meaning of Iron Jersey, and his defensive ability was neck to neck with s.h.i.+ Qiang’s.

Finally, the lightning-struck and hospitalized Zhang Feng was the strongest of them all. His ability was somewhat evil, as he could control blood. Besides increasing the speed of his own blood and making himself enter a state of boiling blood to become a berserk fighter, he could also control the enemy’s blood and aura and cause disruption or counterflow of the latter’s blood and aura.

“Well… Since he has such an ability. Why didn’t he control my blood flow?”

When he heard about Zhang Feng’s talent, Lin Yao was somewhat puzzled. Tu Ying said in response with a strange tone, “He used it right at the beginning.”

“Since he used it right from the start… why didn’t I feel… Oh, it’s the Armored Body Of Light.”

Lin Yao had originally thought that this was impossible, but then he recalled that his Armored Body Of Light had many characteristics, including the Body of Light, which came with basic attributes, and Light Healing, which could heal injuries. In addition, Lin Yao also had Light Adjustment and Light Purification. The former could refine his body constantly to perfection, and the latter could expel the negative energy that affected Lin Yao.

Blood Manipulation was a form of negative ability. As Zhang Feng was not overwhelmingly stronger than Lin Yao, he naturally couldn’t break through Lin Yao’s Armored Body Of Light and affect him.

‘In other words, even if I didn’t have thunder talent, Light Purification would also be able to expel thunder and lightning.’

After exclaiming, Lin Yao couldn’t help but sympathize with Zhang Feng over his bad luck. Blood manipulation was sneaky, as low-level martial artists didn’t have the energy to protect their entire bodies. Therefore, Zhang Feng could use this ability to influence others and defeat those stronger than him. However, he had encountered Lin Yao, who had the Armored Body Of Light.

Most tragically, he could in fact get stronger even if he couldn’t weaken the enemy. However, the Heavenly Thunder strike on a rainy day was a very powerful attack, so this had ruined his plans.

‘He must have skipped the almanac when he went out today.’

While Lin Yao was sighing, he and the others had also decided on the battle formation and strategy. Tu Ying and s.h.i.+ Qiang, who had a strong physique, would be in the front. Yan Yan would be in the middle to provide support, and Zhang Feng would influence the enemy inconspicuously. Last but not least, Lin Yao would be a ‘free man’ that would make up for any shortcomings they had.

After dividing the roles amongst themselves, the fifth to tenth in rank players would partic.i.p.ate in the team compet.i.tion.

In this regard, Yan Yan and the others did not refuse. Martial artists needed to fight in order to make progress. Although Lin Yao had hoped to rely on electric current to develop his body and enhance his basic attributes, he could not help the three consecutive days of downpour.

He also didn’t dare release the power of light in his body. Therefore, he could only train with everyone.

In the blink of an eye, three days of group training had pa.s.sed.

By the third night, the Sun G.o.d Pattern on Lin Yao’s chest had completely dimmed. Lin Yao’s Armored Body Of Light had also entered a deep silence.

At that moment, the blessing of the Body of Light in Lin Yao’s body had dissipated. As his Light Healing and Light Purification abilities became completely lifeless, feelings of weakness crept into Lin Yao’s heart.

‘Sigh… I can’t even fight someone of a higher level now. I might not even beat s.h.i.+ Qiang. No, I can forget about him. My current strength is only on par with Di Qiang’s…’

The Armored Body Of Light had a great influence on Lin Yao. Thanks to the light energy filling his body, his physique would get stronger by 90% and he would be protected by the light energy. He could then break the shackles on his body boldly and fearlessly.

As an intermediate martial artist, Lin Yao even dared to break the shackles of his body and reach 200%. This was all because the Body of Light and the Light Healing gave Lin Yao the a.s.surance he needed to be fearless.

Now, Lin Yao could only unlock the gene lock to 100% and didn’t dare unleash all of his strength. He might not be able to defeat Di Qiang. After all, in addition to unlocking the gene lock, Di Qiang also had the profound meaning of the Vajra Palm.

‘Fortunately, there will be no rain tomorrow. One morning is enough for me to fill my cells with light energy. Once the Sun G.o.d Pattern is filled, I’ll be able to persist in this blessed, unlocked state for two and a half days.’
