I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart
Chapter 61 - The Harvest After the Pain

Chapter 61: The Harvest After the Pain

As he sank into his Sea of Consciousness, Lin Yao still remembered what his attributes had been like before he had come to the research institute.

[Name: Lin Yao]

[Race: Human]

[Age: 17]

[Existing Energy: 1,400 grams (it has increased by 200 grams after the upgrade to the Tree of Heaven Punishment yesterday)]

[Other Energy: Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Thunder 100 grams, Light 0 grams]

[Cultivation Method: 13th Military Boxing (Real Success 100%; Gold)]

[Realm: Martial Artist (4 vital energy seeds), Iron Person (1%)]

[Combat Skill: 1st move of the Clear Mirror Swordsmanship (Proficiency 40%) (Gold), (Deafening Thunder Roar (Unlearned))]

[Tree Planted Now: Tree of Light (Seedling 0/30,000 ) (Silver Person), Tree of Heaven Punishment (Seedling 0/100,000 ) (Silver Person)]

[Talents: Armored Body of Light, Good and Evil Distinguishment, Heavenly Thunder LV1]

These had been the attributes before the electric shock. After the electric shock, some of Lin Yao’s attributes remained unchanged, but other attributes had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.

The first change was the realm.

Realm: Martial Artist (7 vital energy seeds), Iron Person (4%)]

After one round of electric shock, Lin Yao had obtained three more vital energy seeds and his physical evolution had increased by 3%. This was the result of the development of the physical body via electric current stimulation.

Besides, this development was not over yet. After he trained by following the instructions of Professor Li, Lin Yao’s physical progress increased by another 1% and reached 5% in less than half a day. However, the number of vital energy seeds remained seven due to the absence of electrical power.

Nevertheless, a physical realm of Iron Person 5% meant that Lin Yao’s upper limit had now increased. Besides having his physical strength increase by 5%, like Zhou Yang, who had not developed his physical body, he could also condense 15 vital energy seeds (10 seeds for a Human Body Limit of 100%).

At the same time, Lin Yao’s gains were not restricted to the physical realm and vital energy. His Heavenly Thunder LV1 had also improved tremendously due to the electric current stimulation.

[Heavenly Thunder Manipulation LV1 (20%): Thunderbolt is the Tree of Heaven Punishment’s method of punishing the enemy. Because of human worship, as well as the rules of heaven, the thunderbolt from the Tree of Heaven Punishment belongs to Heavenly Thunder and can cause a great deal of shock and damage to evil people.]

[Note: After in-depth development, the host has gained a deeper understanding of the power of electricity and his proficiency of Heavenly Thunder Manipulation has increased by 20%.]

Although Lin Yao had gone through a near-death experience this time, his gains from it were astounding.

“The Project Thunder God created by China is indeed brilliant. A single round of electric shock can yield an increase of 4%. With the assistance of Project Thunder God, those with thunder talent are certainly the strongest talented people amongst mankind!” Lin Yao exclaimed.

In fact, he had not given this enough thought. Those with thunder talent had great advantages, but not everyone was like Lin Yao.

First, most people could only withstand three minutes of electric current stimulation, which would in turn increase their physical progress by 1% each time. Second, most people were not able to train after being electrocuted. For example, Wang Wu and the other talented person were still stumbling and learning how to walk currently and were thus unable to absorb the undissipated electrical energy to increase their physical progress by another 1%.

Finally, they needed to rest for 10 to 14 days after each electric shock. Although people with thunder talent were amazing, they were not peerless.

Lin Yao was an exception. His light talent could heal cell injuries and also enable Lin Yao to persist longer and recover faster. Although he would also have to endure more pain and suffering, this went to show that Lin Yao was undoubtedly a genius. Therefore, Professor Li did not want him to give up.

“The growth of your current strength is not the limit. The power of destruction contained in thunder and lighting will destroy your body but it will also allow you to break the shackles. In three days, your training efficiency will be several times higher than before.

“As long as you’re willing to endure the hardships of these three days, your physical progress will definitely increase again.”

Lin Yao could tell that Professor Li was encouraging him. However, he also had some doubts.

“Professor, didn’t you say that electric current stimulation can unlock the gene lock? Why didn’t it unlock mine?”

Before Professor Li could respond to this question, Wang Wu cried out next to him.

“Brother, we’ve been deceived!”

“What do you mean? Electric current stimulation cannot unlock the gene lock?”

“It can be unlocked. But if you want to unlock it, you can’t succeed just in one development. Depending on your comprehension ability, it will take three to dozens of times. Plus, you’re not allowed to faint during these developments. You have to do your best to feel the stimulation of the electric current.”

At this point in the conversation, the bodies of Wang Wu, Lin Yao, and the other man trembled at the same time.

The feeling of being electrocuted was exactly what Lin Yao and the trio wanted to try their best to forget. Making them recall it was akin to taking their lives.

Despite the trembling and the fear he felt, Lin Yao felt alright. His body had recovered quickly due to the Armored Body of Light. However, both Wang Wu and the man peed their pants again at the thought of the horrifying electric current stimulation, as their bodies had not recovered.

“Cough, cough. Don’t be afraid. You guys have to think positive. Although electric current stimulation is painful, it is also a form of willpower training.”

Upon hearing Professor Li’s consolation, Lin Yao and the trio let out a dry laugh.

After a few more words, Professor Li looked at Lin Yao again with a serious expression.

“Although I may seem like an armchair quarterback by saying this, I really hope that you guys can persevere. The country needs people like you…”

Professor Li was trying to make Lin Yao continue with the development. However, before he could finish his words, Lin Yao’s voice was heard.

“Don’t worry, Professor. I won’t give up.”

He did not know if this was the arrogance of a transmigrator or something else, but Lin Yao came from another world and was not willing to be ordinary.

“I can endure this kind of pain… Let me rest for a few days. Fortunately, there are at least 10 more days to go before we can perform the next electric current stimulation. If it was done once a day, I’d definitely go mad.”

Upon hearing that Lin Yao was willing to persevere, Professor Li, Jiang Rong, and the other researchers all showed their respect and admiration for him on their faces.

“I knew it. Ah Yao, you are the best!”

“Sure enough, I’m a good judge of character.”

“Ah Yao, after going back, try your best to recall the feeling of the electric current stimulation on your body. Even during the absence of actual electric current stimulation, you’ll definitely be able to master unlocking the gene lock so long as you think about it frequently.”

Lin Yao could accept the compliment, but Professor Li’s reminder made his expression stiffen.

“Think about it… Ss…”

After going through that pain and suffering, Lin Yao suddenly thought of something and said quickly, “By the way, Professor, how much is one electric shock session? I will pay you now.”

“It costs nothing. This is a training session funded by the state. But you have to remember: When you become successful, you can’t refuse when the country wants to recruit you.”

“Don’t worry, Professor.”

After another round of conversation, the professor had the students get busy with their own experiments. Lin Yao also had some spare time now.

Of course, he wouldn’t waste his spare time. He could not practice military boxing now, as he had already exhausted his physical strength. He thus took the time to practice his combat skills.

This time, Lin Yao did not practice the Clear Mirror Sword-Drawing Technique but the Deafening Thunder Roar.

When it came to this kind of masculine sonic martial arts, one would need to practice shouting before practicing the skill.

Because of this, Lin Yao did not return home. He found a remote place in the research institute and began to holler furiously.

“Roar…”

“Roar…”

“Roar…”
