I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 196 - The Thunderbolt Mark

Chapter 196: The Thunderbolt Mark

‘I wonder what kind of abilities the Tree of Heaven Punishment will give me?’

As Lin Yao was pondering this silently, the feathered serpent spirit in his Sea of Consciousness, which was affiliated with the Tree of Heaven Punishment, had also benefited from the advancement of the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

Wrapped around the trunk of the Tree of Heaven Punishment, the body of the feathered serpent spirit continued to grow amid the electric current released by the Tree of Heaven Punishment. At the same time, a pattern of thunderbolts appeared on its wings.

However, Lin Yao had no time to pay attention to his Sea of Consciousness at the moment. The evolution of the Tree of Heaven Punishment had shaken his Sea of Consciousness, and he was about to pa.s.s out completely.

The last thing Lin Yao saw before he lost consciousness was Jiang Rong and Professor Li controlling the instrument and transmitting electric current through the countless cables connected to him.

These were the preparations Lin Yao had made before going outside to call them. He was afraid of not having enough energy during his advancement. Therefore, he had connected his body to many cables.

‘Talent advancement is not uncommon. It shouldn’t be a problem to seek Professor Li’s help.’

This was Lin Yao’s last thought before he pa.s.sed out.

Indeed, Professor Li had no problem helping him. Although he was shocked by the fast speed at which Lin Yao was evolving, he recorded Lin Yao’s changes.

However, he was soon unable to continue recording them. The ma.s.sive power of thunder and lightning had formed a lightning coc.o.o.n with Lin Yao as the epicenter. The giant lightning coc.o.o.n protected Lin Yao and blocked all forms of detection.

In the coc.o.o.n, Lin Yao had fallen asleep completely and was evolving amid his deep slumber. Outside, Professor Li stared at the giant coc.o.o.n helplessly. He could only transmit electricity to it slowly so that Lin Yao’s evolution would not run out of energy.

The evolution lasted more than three hours. When everything was over and Lin Yao’s figure reappeared, Qin Xue, Professor Li, and the others who had wanted to step forward were instantly attracted by his forehead. Engraved on his glabella was a lightning mark that resembled a G.o.d’s marking.

However, this kind of observation only lasted a second. A moment later, the group of people who were observing the mark on Lin Yao’s forehead felt a sound of thunder in their Sea of Consciousness that made them look away instinctively.

“Tsk… What is that?”

“We’re actually not allowed to look at it?”

Everyone had been paying attention to his glabella. However, Lin Yao, who was gradually regaining consciousness, immediately clutched his head and groaned in pain repeatedly.

“I knew it. d.a.m.n it. My mental strength has improved again.”

As soon as he said this, Jiang Rong and Professor Li, who knew how precious mental strength was, felt an urge to beat him up violently.

‘Are you showing off?!’

Of course, Lin Yao was not showing off. The improvement of his mental strength was a good thing. However, his mental strength was a.s.sociated with his electromagnetic induction. The greater the mental strength, the more electromagnetic waves he would receive. Now, Lin Yao had the feeling that he could receive electromagnetic waves within a radius of 1.5 kilometers.

This made Lin Yao’s perception ability comparable to some of the golden warlords who specialized in body training. However, his brain was too weak to process that much information.

Boom.

Of course, the sound of explosions didn’t come from Lin Yao’s head. It was produced by the explosion of vital energy seeds.

The headache was unbearable, and Lin Yao blew up a vital energy seed in his body, causing the electric current to enter his brain and accelerate his thinking speed. He then relied on his strengthened arithmetic ability to improve his situation.

At the same time, the sudden, tremendous leap of his arithmetic ability also allowed him to calculate his mental strength without checking it. It was 150.

He even figured out why his mental strength had increased in a short time.

‘The advancement of the Tree of Heaven Punishment has also elevated my hypostasis. Because the mental strength, soul, and body are closely related, the increase in my hypostasis has strengthened the soul, which is manifested through the 30-point increase in my mental strength. The potential of my body has also increased. I can now continue improving my Iron Body to the new limit of about 1,000%.’

The electric current of one vital energy seed soon dissipated. Lin Yao’s brain and mind, which were seemingly lubricated with oil, had also receded. He was soon overwhelmed by pain.

Fortunately, Lin Yao had already experienced this before. His body had also become stronger due to the progress of his Iron Body.

After several more hours, Lin Yao already showed signs of adaptation, although his head still hurt.

“Student Lin Yao, are you okay?”

“Yes. I’ll be fine after I get some rest.”

After kicking everyone out, Lin Yao didn’t immediately rest. Instead, he entered his Sea of Consciousness to watch the changes in the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

After advancing to Gold Person, the Tree of Heaven Punishment had undergone a drastic transformation. First, the tree was much taller and larger. Similar to the Celestial Tree opposite it, it was about 10 meters tall, making Lin Yao’s Sea of Consciousness look extremely huge and vast, as if it was a mystic realm or a heavenly abode.

Second, to Lin Yao’s surprise, a few fruits had grown on the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

After taking a closer look, Lin Yao found that some of the fruits were illusory and some were real. Forget about the illusory ones. The real fruits were, in fact, manifestations of his talent.

For example, the yellow fruit represented Good and Evil Distinguishment, the azure fruit represented Heavenly Thunder, and the remaining two represented the Electricity-Absorbing Physique and Electromagnetic Induction.

These were Lin Yao’s four original abilities. But now, the fifth fruit of talent had appeared, which was also azure in color, representing the Thunder and Lightning ability.

As he watched the fruit, the information of the Tree of Heaven Punishment also appeared before his eyes.

[Tree of Heaven Punishment (0/1,000,000)]

[Growth Rate: Growth Stage, Gold Person (King Potential)]

[Talents:]

[Electricity-Absorbing Physique: The host’s body has been stimulated by thunder and lightning for a long time. With the effect of Light Adjustment, the host’s body has a huge resistance to electricity and can also absorb electricity to increase his power.]

[Electromagnetic Induction: The host’s brain has been stimulated by electric current for a long time. As his mental strength has broken through 100, the host can now receive external electromagnetic waves.]

These two abilities were not considered independent of the Tree of Heaven Punishment. They were a result of the combined effect of Light Adjustment and mental strength.

[Good and Evil Distinguishment LV5: The host can perceive and distinguish the kind and evil intent that all living creatures have for him and can also receive their shallow electromagnetic waves.]

[Heavenly Thunder LV3 (60%): The Tree of Heaven Punishment has the authority to punish evil. It can distinguish between good and evil when evaluating the enemy. Thunderbolt is its method of punishing the enemy. One of the origins of the host is the Tree of Heaven Punishment, which gives him the ability to control thunderbolts. Because of human worship, as well as the rules of heaven, the thunderbolt of the Tree of Heaven Punishment belongs to Heavenly Thunder and can cause a great deal of shock and damage to evil people.]

[LV2 Bonus: The thunder and lightning derived from the body can be released outside.]

[LV3 Bonus: The host can create a thunder and lightning field and consume energy to create thunder and lightning in the field. The host can also manipulate the unowned power in the field. When the host makes an all-out effort, the field will be filled with thunder and lightning. The thunder and lightning of the palm can also reach any place in the field.]

[Thunderbolt Mark LV1: The host’s perception of the thunderbolt has reached a certain level and has been recognized by the law of thunder. The prowess of the thunder and lightning released by the host has now increased by 30%. The consumption has reduced by 30%. The host is now able to manipulate and perceive thunderbolt more easily. Moreover, when the host is fighting against someone who is good at manipulating thunder and lightning, if the enemy’s perception of thunder and lightning is weaker than the host’s, the host will be able to control the thunder and lightning released by them. At the same time, the Thunderbolt Mark also has the ability to store thunder and lightning.]

The Tree of Heaven Punishment had not changed much after advancing to Gold Person. First, Lin Yao’s original abilities had improved. The Heavenly Thunder LV3 had increased to 60% although it had not been upgraded to LV4. Second, the Good and Evil Distinguishment had advanced to LV5. He didn’t know if this was due to the electromagnetic waves, but when Lin Yao focused his mind, he could now receive other people’s shallow brainwaves, which was also regarded as a form of mind reading.

As for any new abilities, there was only the Thunderbolt Mark.

However, the Thunderbolt Mark was satisfying enough. Aside from increasing the prowess of thunder and lightning, it could also store thunder and lightning energy, which made Lin Yao feel as if he was going out with a few large-capacity batteries…

He would continue to carry this.

The storage of thunder and lightning was very useful. The power in the battery would eventually run out, and the thunder and lightning stored in the Thunderbolt Mark would be a lifesaver then.

These two functions of the Thunderbolt Mark were enough to make Lin Yao happy. What surprised him even more was that the Thunderbolt Mark was related to the law of heaven.

As everyone was aware, the law was the authority of G.o.d. Although Lin Yao’s Thunderbolt Mark was still a far cry from things such as heaven’s authority, it gave Lin Yao some hope.

The power of the authority had also been vividly reflected this way. With Thunderbolt Mark LV1, Lin Yao had not only increased the power of thunder and lightning but also reduced his energy consumption, making it easier for him to manipulate thunderbolts. He could subdue the thunder and lightning of others who had a lower hypostasis than him, making their thunder and lightning ineffective against him.

The prospects of the development of this ability were very good. If it continued to advance, Lin Yao’s Thunderbolt Mark would likely grow into a law. Then, it was highly possible that he would be able to control thunder and lightning without any consumption. Thunderbolt strikes would rain from the sky at just a thought of his.

‘In other words, it’s easier for me to manipulate and perceive thunder and lightning now. I should be able to learn the Super Electromagnetic Gun this time.’

Lin Yao was still quite obsessed with this combat skill. It was powerful, dashing, and had a super-long attack range, which was in line with Lin Yao’s personality.

However, this powerful skill was also very difficult to learn. Upon looking at the comments about the skill in the forum, Lin Yao discovered that most of the people who had successfully learned it were golden martial artists. Very few silver ones had been able to pick it up.

Lin Yao had a very deep understanding of thunder and lightning. He also had thinking speed acceleration, which was triple the thinking speed of others. That was why he dared to learn it during the martial artist stage.

‘No. Given my current situation, I should have become a warlord after I learned it.’

Lin Yao’s current electricity consumption was huge. The terrifying consumption also made him improve his physical body very quickly. Every day, Lin Yao could increase his progress by about 20% to 30%.

Of course, the rate of improvement would slow down when he approached his body limit. After all, Lin Yao’s body was also close to its limit when he was undergoing development. It was thus very difficult for him to improve each time. He also needed to suppress the impulse to advance. Nevertheless, with Lin Yao’s speed, it would at most take him one week.

However, Lin Yao would certainly need more than one week to learn the Super Electromagnetic Gun.

‘One week, right? Soon. I will be a warlord in one week.’

…

Half a month later, at the Shanghai Railway Station, ma.s.sive crowds were entering and exiting the station.

In front of one of the armored trains, some people had shocked and terrified expressions on their faces upon seeing blood stains all over the train.

The members of a unique group consisting of one man and four women had the same expression on their faces as they conversed in low voices.

“Was it an eventful ride? Did many freaks attack the train?”
