I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 126 – The Powerful No. 1 High School

“You are the only one who is shady and dubious.”

After listening to them and seeing Yan Yu'er shyly admit to it, Lin Yao was left completely speechless.

“I have become a shady person?”

“Of course, decent and honorable people do not run around shirtless.”

“I keep feeling that No. 4 High School has been thoroughly shamed.”

Lin Yao could not rebut the hurtful comments made by his teammates. Yan Yu'er even added salt to the wounds.

“Big Brother has character.”

However, she soon changed the topic to talk about Yan Yan.

“Sister, you two are very close. Are you in a romantic relationship? Should I address Big Brother as Brother-In-Law?”

“Shut up, we're just ordinary friends, and it's not up to you who I become friends with. Get out of here after passing on this message.”

“No, I won't. Sister, is he really not your boyfriend? He looks so handsome upon closer look.”

Boom.

Frost was spreading around them again. However, Yan Yu'er was not very scared.

“Anyone who makes an unauthorized attack will be arrested. I am sure you don't want to be caught and expelled from the competition, which will result in No. 4 High School losing.”

Yan Yan was fuming mad upon hearing her words, and her chest was heaving as she tried to contain her anger. She did not attack in the end.

She merely gritted her teeth and snorted coldly. “Go away.”

“There is no designated seat for the match. I want to sit here.

“Big Brother, how did you meet my sister? Which stage has your relationship progressed to?

“How do you endure her cold aura?

“Have you kissed? Does she poke you in the chest when you hug each other?”

Seeing that Yan Yan could not do anything to her, the little girl named Yan Yu'er, who was a devilish-looking girl with an innocent character, became completely fearless. Not only did she refuse to leave, but she even used different tones to agitate Yan Yan.

Yan Yan was not eloquent, and Lin Yao, who was being bullied, was speechless.

In the process, Lin Yao also suffered as a result.

“I just found out that my brother-in-law is an intermediate martial artist. My sister is cold and indifferent on the surface. I didn't expect that she would in fact… He he… She actually found a pretty boy for herself.

“Brother-in-law, how much does she pay you? Come with me and I will give you double as much.”

This unbridled provocation made Yan Yan mad with anger, and the talk about Lin Yao being a pretty boy also made him realize that the girl in front of him did not consider him important at all.

Lin Yao was exasperated, but Yan Yan seemed on the verge of exploding from anger.

Seeing that she was about to make a move, Lin Yao could only raise his hand to alert the authorities.

“Instructor, someone is harassing the players here.”

Reporting was still very useful. As the court personnel came over, Yan Yu'er immediately put a sad expression on her face.

“Brother-in-law, you are very cruel. You only care about wooing my sister. You don't care about your sister-in-law. Woohoo…”

After pretending to be upset, she suddenly looked at Lin Yao with a serious expression. She reached out with her hand to lift Lin Yao's chin and issued a stern warning.

“Unknown guy over here, you have good looks and you must have seduced a lot of girls with this face of yours, but I don't care about your other affairs. The Yan Family is not someone you can provoke. Listen to me, no matter what you are thinking about, you'd better leave us alone.

“Sister, remember, our mother might be willing to let you stay outside, but she won't tolerate it if you ruin the reputation of the Yan Family.”

After speaking, the unreasonable girl was taken away. Lin Yao was speechless. She was, in fact, there to issue a warning. Whatever she had said previously had been just meant to tease Yan Yan.

Yan Yan also sensed this. After a moment of silence, she told Lin Yao apologetically, “I'm sorry I implicated you.”

“No, I am the one who implicated you.”

It was indeed unsightly that Lin Yao was shirtless in public. Whoever saw their daughter hanging out with a shirtless man like Lin Yao would certainly be upset. Besides, established families that valued their reputation highly would be even more mindful of this. Therefore, it was understandable that someone had stopped Yan Yan from talking to Lin Yao. What he had not expected was that Yan Yan would be estranged from her younger sister. He had not expected that her younger sister would be a devilish girl either.

Lin Yao sighed a little while thinking about what had just happened.

“Well, it would be nice if it was sunny tomorrow.”

Lin Yao did not have to worry at all during continuous sunny days, and he could wear some light-colored clothes to absorb the power of the sun. Anyway, the power of the sun was abundant then, so there was no need to worry at all.

It was a pity that it was cloudy today and it would rain tomorrow. He had no choice but to accept other people's criticism of him. It was impossible for him to put on clothes just because of the criticism. The criticism was not as important as the reward.

After being agitated by the girl named Yan Yu'er, Yan Yan seemed very upset. She once again pulled Lin Yao to the side to discuss a countermeasure, sharing with Lin Yao all of Yan Yu'er's abilities.

While they were discussing, the icy young woman in the big VIP room next to the stadium noticed that after Yan Yu'er went to speak with them, Yan Yan did not keep her distance from Lin Yao. Instead, she became more intimate with him (including explaining the abilities). She could not help but frown.

Just as she frowned and looked downward, a group of people dressed similar to her approached her. Judging from their clothes and jewelry, this group of people should be women from the same social circle. Upon seeing these people, the cold-faced young woman softened her expression slightly and started chatting with the other young women.

However, during the conversation, some of them also noticed Lin Yao. Lin Yao might be handsome and have a perfect figure, but this was common, as people who practiced martial arts had a good physique. However, apart from having good looks, Lin Yao was shirtless, and his body was glowing. There was no way one would not notice him, and they also naturally saw Yan Yan, who was next to him.

A young woman smiled and said, “That's your daughter, Yan'er. Her boyfriend has character.”

“Your child has a very… unique taste in men.”

“You shouldn't be saying that. The boy is very handsome, and he is a good match for Yan Yan.”

There was no trace of contempt in these young women's words, and they were smiling while making these comments. However, the cold young women who often hung out with these women could sense their mockery as they talked about the duo.

These established families would usually require their future son-in-law or daughter-in-law to have outstanding abilities, be well-matched with their son or daughter in terms of social status, and have an easy-going and elegant demeanor.

Having a unique personality and going shirtless in public was considered having a bad character. These families would only look down on such behavior.

If their children fancied such a person, the family would be mocked by other established families, and the other families would also question the upbringing of their children.

Right now, the cold young woman could no longer maintain a gentle expression. She sensed that her family would become a laughing stock in the following months, and Yan Yan would also be regarded as a poorly raised girl.

“Be obedient and listen to me. I will never allow you to have a hooligan as a boyfriend like the daughter of the Yan Family…”

As she thought about this, the young woman could not bear it anymore.

She made awkward small talk with a few people before she found an excuse to quietly leave the place. The soft smile on her face disappeared the next instant, and she made a call indifferently.

“Uncle Fu, help me make arrangements regarding the battle in the city center…”

“Madam, this won't do. This competition is being watched by the armed police, the military, the Abnormal Ability Department, and all the big shots in the city. We can't mess around.”

“I know, I am not telling you to do anything that violates the rules. All I want is for Yu'er to fight against an intermediate martial artist.”

Although there were many young people in Ninghai City, the people who could participate in the city center competition were at least elites who were intermediate martial artists. The young geniuses who were a rank higher than the elites were advanced martial artists, and the warlords who were stronger than all of them were considered seeded players. They would not fight at the beginning of the competition.

Although the matches were arranged randomly, this was not strictly enforced.

In order for the powerhouses not to fight against other powerhouses, the relevant authorities would still coordinate the matches. For example, at the beginning of the competition, advanced martial artists would fight against intermediate martial artists to eliminate the weaker players. Most of the intermediate martial artists were just there to participate in the competition and would be eliminated at this stage.

After a round of competition, the city leaders, who were watching this event, would also choose a few talented players among the advanced martial artists to become seeded players to prevent them from fighting against each other in the early stage of the competition. This way, the matches would be more exciting in the later rounds of the competition. These geniuses would also not consume too much energy.

This was the basic operation of most games, and it was considered reasonable.

However, nothing was fair in this world. Since the city leaders were watching the competition, some established families in the city dared not arrange the rankings or use non-tactical tricks so that the participants would be injured and quit the game. However, it was still possible to make arrangements without breaking the rules.

For example, some families would arrange for their children to fight against intermediate martial artists to conserve their energy and moves, or they would designate their children as seeded players so that they would not need to fight against elite geniuses in the early stages. All these things did not break the rules, so they were allowed.

This was what the indifferent young woman was doing now. Since Yan Yu'er was an advanced martial artist, she would definitely be made to fight against an intermediate martial artist in the first round. She merely made use of her connections to choose a specific player to be that intermediate martial artist. Although this was against the rules, it was still not a serious violation.

Uncle Fu, who was on the other end of the line, understood what the madam meant and nodded before he made the right arrangements.

The young woman also returned to the VIP hall afterward. The indifference on her face had disappeared, and she chatted with everyone with a soft smile again.

Lin Yao was clueless about what had just happened. Right now, he had memorized Yan Yu'er's abilities and decided to do his best when he encountered her team during the team competition.

Actually, even if there had been no grudge between Yan Yan and Yan Yu'er, Lin Yao would still have done his best against any opponent, so there was no need to point this out.

Lin Yao and the others arrived at ten o'clock, and by the time it was around 12 o'clock, everyone had arrived at the venue. The 36th Youth Competition in Ninghai City had officially begun.

Someone started by making a speech and saying that the students were the future. Next, it was time for the battle between the youths.

The open-air stadium in the city center was very large and included a total of 12 arenas. At present, four of them were being used for the competition, and four teams would compete together.

To Lin Yao's surprise, the arena competition was quite formal, with commentary by the warlords as well as a live broadcast by the TV station. The scores of the schools and dojos could also be seen on the side of the screen.

'Well, I guess it's the 36th competition after all, so they are very experienced.'

While Lin Yao was sighing, battles were taking place one after another. Due to the operation behind the scenes, the competition aimed to eliminate the weak at the beginning. Advanced martial artists faced intermediate martial artists, and most of the advanced martial artists won with an absolute advantage.

At the same time, after each battle, the audience would cheer for the winner, and the scores that were reflected on the scoreboard would increase from time to time, indicating the ranking of the schools and dojos.

Aside from No.1 High School, very few points were added to the scores of No. 2 High School, No. 3 High School, No. 4 High School, or even the dojos from time to time. However, the score of No.1 High School kept increasing. They had many advanced martial artists and they were invincible, as they had defeated all their opponents. The other forces combined were not as good as No.1 High School. Lin Yao felt helpless upon seeing this situation.

'There is no way to win. It is useless even if the rest of us combine forces to fight against them.'
