I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 169: One Hour of In-depth Electric Current Development

“Check if he’s in a coma. Many people will faint after electric current stimulation.”

“I told you, this is not a joke. All the data of Target One shows that he is asleep and sleeping soundly.”

There were many pipes and wires connected to the electric chair. One part of them was cables. The researcher could adjust the amount of electricity through the transformer behind the cables. The other part was connected to an instrument that monitored the data of the body to observe the user’s physical condition and prevent accidents from occurring. The advanced researchers would also need to adjust the current by observing the data of the physical condition to ensure that the user’s body was in the most active state.

The researchers had worked with Professor Li, who was renowned in this field, and had also seen many things in the past. However, this was the first time they had seen someone not cry, scream, or twitch, but enter dreamland during the electric current development.

Most critically, while he was sleeping deeply, Lin Yao’s body was changing more drastically, and his cells became more active.

Because the cells were very active, there was insufficient energy. This was quickly reflected on the screen of the instrument.

“Attention, attention. The changes to the body of Target One are slowing down. Testing shows that it is due to insufficient electricity flowing to the body.”

“Attention, attention. The changes to the body of Target One are slowing down. Testing shows that it is due to insufficient electricity flowing to the body.”

The two consecutive reminders shocked the many researchers in the room.

“Damn it! This is the first time I’ve encountered such a situation after working for so many years. His body actually changes more drastically while he is sleeping.”

“This reminds me of the information in legends about the evolution of the huge dragon and some fierce beasts. The dragon often goes into a deep slumber. The same happens to the monsters when they are evolving. There are some speculations that the adjustment to one’s body will be easier when one is asleep or in a state of unconsciousness. I have a feeling that Student Lin Yao is now like a huge dragon.”

“Huge dragon… Advancing while sleeping… This is a really enviable talent.”

“Don’t let your thoughts go astray. What should we do now? Do we need to increase the electric current’s intensity?”

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence, as everyone was afraid to make a decision.

Logically speaking, everyone there was an old-time researcher who could call the shots when it came to some minor situations. They had also dealt with countless problems during normal times. However, Lin Yao was special. He had strong and powerful talent, and this had been registered in the official records of China. He was already receiving the highest protection level. Therefore, they couldn’t possibly mess around while he was undergoing current development. In fact, they needed to be qualified to adjust the equipment Lin Yao was using. Amongst the people present, only Senior Sister Jiang Rong had passed the political review and was qualified to do that.

However, everyone had read the tabloids today and knew how annoyed and furious Senior Sister was. Naturally, they didn’t dare ask her to do this.

“Call the professor and get him to come here as soon as possible.”

“There’s no need to. Let me do it.”

“This…”

“Why don’t we wait a while…”

“It’s alright. We’re not in a romantic relationship. His affairs have nothing to do with me.”

With professionalism, Jiang Rong adjusted the electric current intensity according to Lin Yao’s physical condition, which was shown on the instrument. In less than a minute, she had adjusted the intensity to the one most suitable for Lin Yao.

By this time, Lin Yao had already been stimulated by the current for 15 minutes.

In the past, this used to be one-third or half of Lin Yao’s development time. Now, Lin Yao had fallen into a deep sleep and could not feel anything.

15 minutes later, Professor Li rushed over after dealing with his other work affairs. Upon seeing Lin Yao sleeping soundly and noting the almost 50% increase in the supply of electricity, he was deep in thought.

“Are light and thunder attributes that compatible? Warlords are not that active even after strengthening their cells, let alone martial artists!”

It was not the light attribute but Lin Yao’s Celestial Tree that was powerful. In the west, the fully-grown Celestial Tree was a sacred tree. Lin Yao’s Celestial Tree was not yet fully grown. Otherwise, he could have become the Son of God in a monotheistic religion.

After discovering that Lin Yao was fine, Professor Li didn’t wake Lin Yao. Instead, he allowed him to continue sleeping during the electrical stimulation.

His nap lasted more than an hour. Lin Yao hadn’t woken up yet, but he no longer looked that comfortable after a long duration of electrical stimulation. He was frowning while sleeping, as if he was experiencing some discomfort.

As he frowned in pain, the researchers surrounding him paced back and forth, looking at their watches.

“I remember that he only lasted barely more than 40 minutes during his last visit here. Why did the duration skyrocket again?”

“Do we all remember it wrong? Maybe he didn’t come the day before yesterday, but a year ago.”

“This is possible. We might be confused…”

When he saw these people doubt their life, the corners of Professor Li’s mouth moved, but he ultimately didn’t interrupt their conversation. Even he couldn’t figure out why Lin Yao’s duration could increase continuously by a huge quantum each time.

Five minutes at a time was considered normal for peak martial artists, 10 minutes was the limit of an elite martial artist, and 15 minutes was outstanding.

Being able to last for more than 15 minutes was not something one’s willpower and body could achieve. It could only be done if one’s talent was strong enough.

Lin Yao’s duration of 30 minutes in the past had already surpassed the outstanding martial artists by more than 50%. Now, he was only frowning at 40 minutes, so this had exceeded their expectations by a lot.

“How long can he last? One hour or two hours?”

“Initially, one needs to be evaluated. Now, it seems that there’s no need to. Based on his talent alone, he can be listed as a diamond genius.”

The stronger the talent, the greater the destructive power. For the sake of the country’s stability, the grooming of talented people needed to be observed in advance. If they were not qualified, the supply of resources would also be reduced.

Nevertheless, Lin Yao was too talented. In Professor Li’s opinion, he had a fast cultivation speed and his talent was only a tad lesser than that of a king. He was definitely a peak diamond genius or something equal. What was more terrifying was that Lin Yao wouldn’t need too many resources for his training.

He only needed sunlight and electricity. The former was inexhaustible and could be supplied by the sun. The latter was not expensive at all, as the country could produce electricity on a large scale. As a result, Lin Yao’s improvement could progress like a rocket unless it was suppressed.

Only if he broke the law would the country be able to suppress him. They would force him to go to another country if they were to do that.

Reducing the supply of resources was the worst thing the country could do, but Lin Yao didn’t have much of a demand for resources. If he continued bulldozing all the way through his development, Professor Li would be very worried about Lin Yao’s loyalty to the country after he advanced to the higher levels. After all, one can’t make a horse work without feeding it.

‘Although the country can use national interest as a reason to suppress him, the other three regions can also use the interest of the human race to do that. Besides, it is better to avoid such things as much as possible.

‘This won’t do. I’ll have to report this to the higher-ups and confirm his diamond qualification quickly.’

Lin Yao didn’t know that his talent advancement had made Professor Li pay more attention to him. He didn’t want the country to lose a potential powerhouse because of this rare occurrence (the Spirit Energy Revival) that happened once in 10,000 years. He was already planning to shorten the review time to give Lin Yao the treatment he deserved as soon as possible.

No, he wasn’t planning. Professor Li, who had a gentle temperament, simply made a phone call on this occasion.

“Hello, Old Li. How come you had the time to contact me? Are you planning to teach here? I’ve been reserving a place for you.”

“It’s not about that. Are you able to participate in the qualification review of diamond geniuses?”

“Yes. Why? Don’t tell me you want me to nominate you. I happen to have another quota. I’ll give it to you if you come and teach.”

“There’s no need to. I want you to help shorten the review time. There is a super-genius here. You can’t let him be taken away by other forces.”

Upon hearing this, the other party was silent for a while. He then asked cautiously, “How long has it been since the start of the review?”

The review of the diamond-level qualification and shortening the review time were two different matters. A nomination was just a nomination, and it was uncertain whether one would pass the evaluation. Shortening the review time could cause a series of problems. After all, like distance tested a horse’s stamina, time revealed a person’s heart. China was very strict about this.

When the question was posed by the other party, Professor Li hesitated for a moment and spoke with some embarrassment.

“It’s been a month…”

As soon as he heard these words, the other party simply chided him.

“One month. What can I review? Do I need to tell you about the national regulations? Half a year is the bottom line.”

“King talent doesn’t take half a year.”

“King geniuses are eligible for a king-level supply of resources. Naturally, it doesn’t take half a year for them to obtain the diamond qualification. Is that genius you mentioned a king genius?”

The person on the other side of the phone was annoyed. He could imagine Professor Li looking down and replying ‘no’ when he posed this question.

However, the outcome exceeded his expectations. While facing this interrogation, the old man he was familiar with didn’t answer. Instead, he turned on the video call.

“This… Don’t tell me he is really a king seedling?”

Without further ado, the video was quickly connected. Because the video was connected, one could catch a clear view of another old man on the other end of the line. He was in an office, and there were many photos of him and his students on his desk.

“Where is your student?”

Now that a king seedling had appeared, the old man on the other side of the line couldn’t even be bothered to greet Professor Li. He asked about Lin Yao immediately.

Professor Li didn’t respond. Instead, he simply directed the camera to Lin Yao, who was sleeping soundly and undergoing electrical stimulation.

“He’s sleeping? He’s actually sleeping during electric current development. This ability is fairly good, but this alone would not be enough to make you contact me.”

“Of course. Guess how long he has been receiving electrical stimulation.”

“30 minutes?”

At the thought that Professor Li would contact him for this, the old man spouted a very high number. However, Professor Li shook his head at the number.

“Hey, stop keeping me in suspense. Tell me how long!”

“45 minutes. So far. I don’t know how long he will last in the end.”

“What do you mean?”

“You have seen it. He is still receiving electrical stimulation, and his talent seems to have just advanced today. I’m not sure how long he will last.”

After Professor Li finished speaking, the old man on the other end of the line looked at Lin Yao in silence.

Some time later, someone knocked on the door.

“Principal, the meeting will be commencing in three minutes…”

“Let them wait. Tell them the meeting will be postponed until tomorrow.”
