I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 137 - Could Not Defeat Her

Chapter 137: Could Not Defeat Her

“Buddy, take care and recover soon. I’m leaving now.”

After speaking, Lin Yao pushed open the door of the medical room without waiting for Zhuang Jian to respond.

He, who had reappeared during the arena compet.i.tion, had also attracted the attention of countless people.

Aside from ordinary people and senior martial artists who felt hopeless about winning, some genius martial artists whose physical fitness surpa.s.sed Iron Person 100% also focused their attention on Lin Yao.

The Ultimate Boxing Dojo might be a new dojo, but it had a lot of members.

The group of people wearing the same robes were divided into two rows. One group was made of locals, who were looking at Lin Yao in awe.

The other group was made of five people who stood separately from them. Although they were wearing the same dojo clothes, these five people harbored obvious contempt when they looked at the disciples behind them. No, their contempt was not only directed toward the disciples in the back. Instead, these disciples had a sense of superiority when looking at everyone present.

They felt the same contempt for Lin Yao.

“He recovered in a really short time. He seems a bit difficult to deal with.”

“Are you worried?”

“Ha ha ha… Of course not. Others might fail, but I won’t.”

The two buddies of the Ultimate Boxing Dojo who were conversing had seen Lin Yao’s brilliant swordplay. However, the two of them were still confident about securing victory. In fact, one of them was hoping to meet Lin Yao at a compet.i.tion soon.

“I hate guys who like to be in the limelight. I hope I will meet him next time in battle. Then, I will show everyone that geniuses in the city are only good enough here.”

“Hey, not only do you hate people who like to be in the limelight, but you also hate others for being more good-looking than you. Remember, our opponents are the four warlords.”

In addition to the two of them, many people were looking at Lin Yao, eager to battle it out with him. One of the girls, who was in fancy attire, looked at Lin Yao, not feeling the least bit worried.

“His Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique is the perfect combination of strength and speed. This move is indeed good. However, no matter how perfect it is, it will be useless when he encounters the wrong enemy.

“My sword can cut through anything.”

…

Given that there were plenty of ordinary resources, techniques were available to all, and there was a large number of people due to the fact that people were living in groups, many geniuses partic.i.p.ated in this compet.i.tion. Although this was only a city compet.i.tion, in ancient times, this would have been a national compet.i.tion.

Lin Yao might be strong, but many people were not afraid of him because of his short awakening time.

Powerful advanced martial artists were very confident about fighting against Lin Yao. The four warlords from No. 1 High School did not even consider Lin Yao their enemy.

A young person with fiery red hair laughed out loud upon reading an online post saying that Lin Yao was comparable to warlords.

“I might die laughing thanks to this a.n.a.lysis. The post even says that Lin Yao could defeat warlords. Don’t tell me that they think that he is the only one who has the ability to temporarily improve his basic attributes?”

“Boss, don’t say that. If Lin Yao were to fight against a warlord who has spent more than 10 years slowly advancing to his current rank, Student Lin Yao might really win the battle.”

“That’s right, let’s go and talk to that guy to see if he’d be interested in joining our team. I will help him transfer to No. 1 High School.”

…

Lin Yao had been noticed by everyone due to his performance in the past two days. Some people regarded Lin Yao as an opponent, and some even wanted to subdue him.

However, the youths were not too enthusiastic about Lin Yao. Instead, it was the wealthy and powerful people who made an effort to dig up Lin Yao’s information.

They were not targeting Lin Yao. This was merely a routine procedure.

The rewards for the compet.i.tion held in the city were very attractive. This might only be a youth compet.i.tion, yet as Lin Yao had expected, the first prize was an opportunity to apply for diamond resources. The top ten winners could apply for gold resources and many other rewards.

All these very attractive rewards were not fully sponsored by the munic.i.p.al government. Instead, the city’s wealthy people had provided a lot of support, as they also needed geniuses.

It was hard to control a super-genius, but the munic.i.p.al government and the wealthy residents would try to accommodate all their needs.

As for geniuses who were slightly lower in rank, wealthy people intended to sign a contract with the geniuses so they would work for them.

This was not a master-servant contract or a slave contract, but a formal employment agreement.

This city compet.i.tion was essentially a talent compet.i.tion for young geniuses.

Outstanding geniuses would get the attention of wealthy people and have a chance to win the heart of a beauty. Young geniuses would also receive resources to quickly improve themselves. This could still be considered a win-win situation.

The people in the private room initially felt that Lin Yao was merely an elite fighter with outstanding combat power.

After all, even though Lin Yao’s performance was strong, he was only an intermediate martial artist about 17 to 18 years old. He was too far behind those warlords.

“It’s a pity. The combat effectiveness is very strong, but his martial arts talent is too poor.”

“Indeed, a martial artist’s realm is the most important factor.”

“We can still try to groom him. Since he is in No. 4 High School, this shows that his family is not very wealthy. If he is given more nutrition drinks, his strength can still improve.”

This was what some fairly rich people were thinking about. However, people who were really wealthy were envious of Lin Yao’s abilities.

Since Lin Yao had hidden some very shocking information, they were not to be blamed for not understanding his real potential.

He had only become an intermediate martial artist at the age of 17, so they had been under the impression that he was not very talented.

However, he had only awakened a month ago, yet he had advanced from an ordinary man to an intermediate martial artist with powerful combat capabilities. His progress was very shocking.

17 years could not be compared to one month.

“Are you certain he advanced from an ordinary person to an intermediate martial artist within a month?”

“Master, I am certain. Although Student Lin Yao’s official information has been hidden, many students in No. 4 High School are familiar with him. I learned everything from them. His abilities only improved after his talent was awakened… Besides, Student Lin Yao has a thunderous talent and can use electricity instead of spirit energy during his practice. Not only is his cultivation speed faster, but he also consumes 100 times fewer resources than others.”

There might be many items that contained spirit energy, such as spirit crystals, elixirs, or spirit beast meat, but everyone needed them, so they were very expensive. On the contrary, one kilowatt/hour of electricity only cost 50 cents. Compared to spirit energy, it was much cheaper.

This was also why the entire country had devoted resources and energy to the research of Project Thunder G.o.d back then.

“His advancement speed is very fast, and he consumes very few resources and has powerful combat abilities. Ssh… Could his talent be at the diamond level?”

Qin Heshun was a big boss in the drug plantation industry. He had many a.s.sets and was a powerful figure in the city. However, after reading through Lin Yao’s talents, even he, who was usually calm, could not help but gasp.

The old butler was not too surprised by his master’s shocked response. When he had first heard the news, he had been stunned as well. In the meantime, the butler hurried to answer his questions.

“There is no news of him being graded at the diamond level. However, this evaluation cannot be determined by the city, or even by the province. Every time a diamond evaluation is submitted, someone will be sent to verify it, and they will also inspect the individual’s moral character. The observation period is very long as well. Lin Yao only awakened a little more than a month ago. Even if he is deemed to be at the diamond level, it will be determined in six months or even a year. However, I believe that Lin Yao will successfully receive this grading.”

“A diamond talent… He will be seen as a n.o.bleman’s son in the land of chaos.”

At the thought of this, Qin Heshun sighed.

Powerful martial artists ruled over everything on behalf of the nominal king. However, besides the king, there were also various n.o.bles in the country who were powerful martial artists with their own territories. They even fought against each other in order to compete for territory and people.

Those martial artists belonged to a certain family or sect, and everyone was under their control. The children of these powerhouses were naturally n.o.bles.

In ancient times, only the heirs of powerhouses had been born n.o.ble, but this was the era of martial artists, and those with powerful talents would also acquire the status of n.o.blemen. The sons of n.o.bility that Qin Heshun had mentioned were not sons of wealthy families, but sons of dukes.

People with diamond talents were considered very n.o.ble in the land of chaos.

Of course, they could obtain such a status because of their powerful talents.

Amongst talented people, bronze and iron talents were basically useless. Since everyone practiced the gold techniques, these geniuses merely mastered one more silver technique than ordinary people.

The silver talent was slightly stronger, and people with such a talent were considered average elites. Gold geniuses would be famous in the city, while diamond geniuses would be valued by the country.

This was the case during stable times, when there was a large population and more and more people awakened their talents. Under those circ.u.mstances, diamond talents were not rare and were only valued by the country.

However, in the land of chaos, most countries only had a population of one million people. Diamond geniuses would be groomed by most countries to be the guardians of the country, and they had the possibility of protecting their country.

While thinking of how precious diamond talents were in the land of chaos, Qin Heshun quickly gave orders to the butler.

“Develop a good relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yao as soon as possible and give him the highest remuneration and resource investment. No, go all out and invest resources in him. No matter what he needs, contact me as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Master.”

Qin Heshun was not a fool. He had built his business from nothing and also had a drive and resolution. As soon as he heard of Lin Yao’s talents, he was ready to invest whatever he could to have a good relations.h.i.+p with him.

However, he had also seen several other powerful figures sending their people to run errands for them when he had gone from the private room of the stadium to the VIP hall. This made him feel apprehensive.

‘What a bunch of sly old foxes.’

The diamond genius was amazing, and many people wanted to invest in him.

However, once many people were interested, the benefits they offered would be worthless.

Still, Qin Heshun did not want to give up.

The mysterious lands had emerged due to the Spirit Energy Revival, and there were no longer basic administrative units such as villages, towns, and counties on the Blue Planet. The lowest level of a human gathering place was a city. A city only needed to take care of itself, while a province had to shelter and protect the city.

This was why the post of the inspector had been established. Such posts had been specially designed for powerhouses, and their main function was to eliminate dangers in the province and provide quick support when the city was facing a crisis.

This position not only represented security but also power and wealth.

If one played up to such people of power and influence, one might not be able to ride on their success. However, one could definitely make use of their influence to be successful.

What troubled Qin Heshun now was that it was difficult to play up to such people. ‘It will not be enough to simply invest in resources. I have to offer him something special.’

With this thought in mind, Qin Heshun looked at Yan Yu’er, who was next to Lin Yao, and had an idea.

“Make a call to Qing’er and tell her to come back.”

As soon as he said this, the old butler was obviously taken aback.

“Master, Ms. Qing’er is 26 years old and is already a silver warlord. She is too far apart from Student Lin Yao.”

“Age is not a problem. Nowadays, some youths prefer people who are more mature. As for the realm gap, do you know what a diamond talent is? Do you know why a diamond genius needs to be tested? It’s because they can improve their realm 100 times faster than ordinary people!”

…

Lin Yao, who had returned to his seat, was clueless about the situation in the VIP lounge. The light energy in the Sun G.o.d Pattern had dissipated totally, as it had been used to heal his injuries. All the abilities of the Armored Body Of Light were ineffective now, and Lin Yao felt a sense of weakness in his body.

As a result, he did not feel interested in doing anything and he simply waited in his seat for the battles to end.

Of course, Yan Yu’er kept moving closer to Lin Yao during the compet.i.tion.

He did not reject her, mainly because he did not dare do that.

Without the Body of Light, he could not unleash his power to the extreme. Lin Yao knew that he… could not defeat Yan Yu’er, who was an advanced martial artist.
