I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 167: Quadruple Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique!

The round mirror was on Lin Yao’s head throughout the battle. The light rays continued to lock on and shine on Quan Lei, rendering him unable to turn back. As a result, he could only fight by using his Beast Intuition.

Sensing the danger coming from Lin Yao, who was charging forward, he immediately dodged to the side. However, the earlier stalemate had caused the two of them to be just a few steps away from each other. There was no way he could escape colliding with Lin Yao.

Bang. Quan Lei, who was in a half-human state, had collided with Lin Yao. The two of them were thrown in the opposite direction due to the interaction of different forces.

After the beastization, the physique of the opponent was only slightly inferior to that of Lin Yao in the extreme state. Therefore, they were both sent flying a similar distance away.

Half-human Quan Lei had the strong sense of balance of the feline species. Therefore, he almost didn’t suffer any injuries due to the fall. However, he collided with Lin Yao with full force. Despite being half-human, he felt that his body was falling apart.

‘A physically awakened person, especially a beastified one, is known for their strong physique. Although I’m not a monster like a wolf, a bear, or an elephant, my physique is much stronger than an ordinary person’s. Since I’m falling apart, he should be injured.’

Quan Lei was hoping that Lin Yao’s holy garment could only protect the latter from harm from external and not internal impact.

Unfortunately, he was about to be disappointed. The holy garment was resistant to almost all forms of physical attacks, not to mention that Lin Yao’s cells contained holy light and were full of vitality. He wasn’t bothered by this collision at all.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Lin Yao transformed into a beam of thunderlight and rushed forward again.

As Lin Yao was dashing ahead, the bright mirror above his head kept shining, making Quan Lei feel extremely aggrieved.

While fighting with the enemy, not facing the opponent or turning his head around did not seem to be the right move. Keeping a tight watch on the opponent was the right way to go. However, the bright mirror on Lin Yao’s head made it impossible for him to look at Lin Yao. Quan Lei could only pin his hopes on Beast Intuition.

Actually, Quan Lei was someone whom No. 1 High School had specially sent to subdue Lin Yao. In the past, others had been impressed by Lin Yao’s amazing outburst of power. His sword move was invincible, and he also had two insidious moves—Deafening Thunder Roar and Flashing Sword-Drawing Technique.

The reason Quan Lei had been chosen to deal with Lin Yao was that he had the bloodline of illusory beasts. After beastization, the improvement in all his basic attributes would make his strength comparable to that of Lin Yao in the latter’s extreme state. His Phantomization talent, which was also called Shadowification talent, could enable him to dodge Lin Yao’s strongest move.

The covering of the cheetah’s ears and Beast Intuition would hinder all of Lin Yao’s insidious moves. No. 1 High School had gotten hold of Lin Yao’s information from his past battles and formulated the right strategy for him to defeat Lin Yao after dodging Lin Yao’s sword move with Phantomization. In fact, Beast Intuition could also deal with Lin Yao’s Clear Mirror Body Technique and attack his actual body.

If Lin Yao was as strong as he had been a few days ago, he would have been defeated.

After all, No. 1 High School had searched for and gathered geniuses out of the population of eight million in Ninghai City. No matter what, they had very outstanding talents.

Unfortunately, Lin Yao had become a changed man after a few days. Over the past few days, he had spent five million yuan of his family’s funds, and his improvement had exceeded one’s imagination. Quan Lei was down on his luck.

When he hit Quan Lei away, Lin Yao didn’t pause even the slightest bit. Stomping on the ground, he transformed into thunderlight and burst forward again.

Boom!

Tearing across the air, Lin Yao smashed toward Quan Lei like a cannonball. He didn’t even draw his sword.

He was that domineering when he had the protection of the holy garment.

Triple Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique!

In addition, the opponent indeed had the bloodline of illusory beasts. Despite his blindness and battered body, he lifted both his arms immediately.

Bang!

There was another explosion sound. This time, Lin Yao had sent the opponent flying. No, he had wanted to ride on the full-force collision to distance himself from Lin Yao.

This was a very good idea, but the outcome was not that wonderful.

Quan Lei was not satisfied with his speed as he flew backward. However, after hitting the opponent, Lin Yao didn’t even need to catch his breath. He stomped on the ground, transformed into a thunderbolt, and dashed forward again.

Quadruple Thunderbolt Sword-Drawing Technique!

This time, Lin Yao took the lead and pulled out the long sword, stabbing it forward like a spear.

Psst.

Beast Intuition was truly excellent, especially when it could make one sense that one’s life was in danger. At the last moment, Quan Lei raised both his claws and grabbed Lin Yao’s sword with his bare hands.

Unfortunately, his body was about to fall apart after two consecutive full-force collisions. On the other hand, Lin Yao had gained the upper hand with his continuous attacks. Coupled with Lin Yao’s strong physique, Quan Lei was unable to resist that herculean strength, although he had grabbed the blade of Lin Yao’s sword. He could only watch helplessly as the blade passed through his hands and stabbed toward his body.

“I refuse to concede defeat!”

Boom.

The long sword eventually tapped Quan Lei’s chest, and he immediately spewed a mouthful of blood. He had a feeling that all his internal organs had shattered. Furthermore, the spot on his chest that had been tapped was dented, as if all his bones had cracked.

When his body was injured, Quan Lei could no longer hold onto Lin Yao’s long sword. He was thrown into the sky, and his blood splashed in the air.

After four consecutive attacks, Quan Lei was defeated.

However, before he lost consciousness, Quan Lei had only one thought in his mind. ‘Why isn’t my Shadowification the same as your armor, which can be used consecutively?’

Although Shadowification was not a profound meaning, this powerful talent was also regarded as an ultimate move. This talent had great prowess but required huge energy consumption.

At this stage, Quanlei’s Shadowification could only be used thrice a day, and each usage would consume a lot of energy. Furthermore, a time lapse was needed between uses to enable the body to relieve the pressure of the shadow eroding the body. This was the reason he didn’t use Shadowification to dodge the attack in the end. It was not that he didn’t want to. He just couldn’t.

This talent had many weaknesses. Nevertheless, thanks to the unique characteristic of the traversing shadow and his precise grasp of timing, he had counter-killed many opponents with this talent. He had used the same tactic with other low-level powerhouses who had profound meaning.

However, Lin Yao was a ‘pervert’. The armor that shrouded his entire body all the time was akin to a tortoise shell, and Quan Lei didn’t know where to lay his hands. Quan Lei was falling apart due to the few repeated collisions earlier, but Lin Yao didn’t seem the slightest bit scathed. This went to show how powerful the holy garment was.

Quan Lei could endure all of this. However, he could not bear the fact that the holy garment could be used continuously. After several collisions, Lin Yao’s holy garment showed no trace of dimming. Because of this, Quan Lei suffered a huge emotional blow, to the point that he started doubting his life. Therefore, he hollered to express his indignation at the last moment.

He also hoped his Shadowification could be used continuously.

After defeating Quan Lei and returning his sword to its sheath, Lin Yao looked at the unconscious Quan Lei. He still recognized his ability very much. action

He could transform into a shadow cheetah, so he was really powerful. First, the basic attributes of those with an illusory beast bloodline would improve tremendously after they underwent beastization. Second, the Beast Intuition and Shadowification abilities were fairly good.

When he unleashed his last move, Lin Yao could sense through the touch of his sword that Quan Lei had another talent related to skin. Otherwise, Lin Yao’s sword would have perforated his body, not just caused him internal injuries.

“You are very good. Unfortunately, I am stronger.”

After saying these parting words, Lin Yao, whose body was almost intact, stepped out of the arena and walked toward Instructor Tu Hong and the rest.

“You… have become stronger again.”

Shi Qiang was the one who had spoken. His tone was a tad wry. He had fought against Lin Yao before and could feel that he was lagging behind Lin Yao even more now.

“I’ve gained some advantages over the past few days. Instructor, I’m making a move.”

“Do you want to check out your next opponent before you do?”

“There’s no need to. I’d rather improve my strength than know who my opponent is.”

If anyone else were to say this, the instructor would tell them that they would not be able to improve too much in a day, so they might as well check out the strength of the opponent. However, Lin Yao was different. His improvement in one day was akin to the improvement of an ordinary person in one month.

Lin Yao walked outside after nodding at his team members.

However, he was too eye-catching. As soon as he was out, he attracted a lot of reporters, and they surrounded him.

This caused him to furrow his brows deeply. Feeling helpless, he could only use his Clear Mirror Body Technique to refract his body image and then leave that place with large strides.

After coming out of the stadium, Lin Yao sighed as he looked at the scorching sun in the sky. ‘After becoming a public figure, I’ll profit thanks to my fan base. However, life has become really inconvenient.’

There were both gains and losses. Lin Yao was in need of money to carry out good deeds. Therefore, he could only endure this inconvenience.

Qin Ya was not outside the stadium. However, he received a call from her as soon as he came out.

“I’m busy now. Your new assistant will be there in a car to pick you up.”

After he was silent for a while, Lin Yao’s calm voice was heard.

“Will the assistant get here that soon?”

“The assistant is not from Tianhai City. I made this arrangement long ago. This is a surprise.”

“A surprise… As long as it’s not a shock.”

After informing her of his whereabouts, Lin Yao felt colder while he stood on the spot.

After a while, a black vehicle drove up to Lin Yao. He didn’t recognize the model of the vehicle and was not in the mood to pay attention. He opened the rear door, ready to enter it.

However, when he opened the rear door, Lin Yao’s movements paused abruptly.

“Why are you here?”

“My cousin said I should become an intern to get a taste of society and have some social practice to prepare myself for my future career.”

The girl in the car was somewhat shy. She had been lowering her petite head, looking a little afraid to look at Lin Yao.

“I agree with college students having social practice, but you’re only a third-year high school student. You have to focus on your studies.”

“Aye, I know.”

After getting into the car and looking at the petite girl in school uniform next to him, the helplessness on Lin Yao’s face deepened. He really hadn’t expected to meet her here.

“Qin Xue, are you sure you won’t regret taking this job?”

“Regret what? It’s just an internship. If you don’t like it, I’ll leave now and get my cousin to find someone else for you.”

While holding onto the girl, who was about to leave, Lin Yao clutched his forehead.

“Forget it. Let’s go. Take us to the research institute.”

The assistant was new, but the driver in the car was already a familiar face. Lin Yao quickly arrived at the research institute via a familiar route.

“Ah Yao, are you going to train here?”

Qin Xue, Lin Yao’s classmate and the person Lin Yao had first confessed his love to, looked somewhat curious when she saw the research institute.

“Yes. Go and occupy yourself. It would be best if you revised your homework. I’m going to train.”

Lin Yao didn’t ponder deeply the reason Qin Ya had arranged for Qin Xue to be his assistant. He didn’t have time to think over this either. Now, he just wanted to improve his strength as fast as he could.

However, Lin Yao, who was reluctant to overthink, felt a little strange after entering the institute. He soon realized what was wrong. The Senior Sister who was always the first to receive him in the past didn’t approach him this time. Instead, she was staring at him with a cold expression from a distance.

‘It seems that the tidbits about me have reached this place.’
