I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart Chapter 161

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The profound meaning of the guardian holy seal in the Paladin Body Strengthening Technique was to comprehend the profound meaning of guardianship and condense the light that people believed in into armor and shields to protect oneself.

Of course, Lin Yao did not reach the level of comprehension of the holy seal. He merely directed the power of light into it and used absolute power to forcibly condense the paladin battle armor.

However, it would not be accurate to say that it was completed by force. First of all, the advancement of the Celestial Tree to gold and the appearance of the angelic holy infant that was connected to Lin Yao's intrinsic nature helped Lin Yao have a new understanding of light. This made him more compatible with the light element. The Lord of Light was the concrete manifestation of this harmony. In terms of suitability, Lin Yao's harmony with light was at least level three.

The guardian holy seal was, after all, a derivative of the power of light, and Lin Yao had the opportunity to forcefully condense it with the power of light by relying on his harmony.

Besides, the holy garment that he condensed was only a virtual image, which also showed that forcible condensation was not desirable.

‘The guardian holy seal is the foundation, and the holy garment is the profound meaning. The ultimate manifestation of this holy seal is otherworldly. I will be able to comprehend my own divine holy garment by building on the foundation of the holy garment. If I can achieve this, the condensed armor might likely be the Sun God Armor or the Angel Holy Armor.

‘Unfortunately, I don't have a good comprehension ability.'

The more Lin Yao practiced, the more he felt that he lacked understanding.

While feeling helpless, he also thought of something else. The holy garment was categorized according to the realm of cultivation, as well as the realm of the martial artist. He should belong to the lowest level of bronze holy garment.

‘Bronze is also good. Most of the time, this is condensed by warlords. No, it should be said that except for a few exceptions, only warlords can condense it. Even if other people have an extraordinary comprehension ability, they don't have enough energy to use it.'

The profound meaning was also known as the ultimate strike. The reason for this was that while the profound meaning was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy and exerted a lot of pressure on the body, so it could only be used at critical times.

Lin Yao's case was purely an accident. The absorption of light and the Sun God Pattern enabled him to be always full of energy during the day.

Even so, he could only use this move like his normal moves during the day. Although the energy in the Sun God Pattern could be used to condense it by force at night, the consumption was too large, and he could not take it either.

While thinking about the description of the holy garment in the Paladin Body Strengthening Technique, Lin Yao was getting ready to test the protective power of the holy garment.

However, before he was able to test it, footsteps were heard outside the door, and he quickly dispersed the bronze holy garment.

Qin Ya opened the door and entered the room. She still had the same expression on her face in spite of negotiating with a dozen of sly old foxes. “They have expressed their intent to work with you. This is the information I collected last night and a letter with their investment intent. You can take a look first. Make sure there is no problem before you sign it, and we can turn this intention to cooperate into substantial cooperation.”

“Sure.”

After speaking, Lin Yao took the proposal to read through it carefully. However, he had yet to start when Qin Ya started speaking.

“Take a look at it later. We need to leave now.”

“Leave?”

“We're going back to Ninghai. Don't tell me you have forgotten about the individual match at noon today?”

“Well… How could that be? Let's go.”

Hence, Lin Yao followed Qin Ya through the gate of the police station and walked toward the Tianhai City Railway Station.

In the daytime, Tianhai City seemed to be unaffected by what had happened last night. It was still very lively. However, upon looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going, Lin Yao felt depressed. It was as if prosperity was based on falsehood.

Qin Ya did not care about this and even talked Lin Yao out of it.

“Don't worry too much. Our prosperity is not a mirage. 70 million soldiers plus tens of millions of other armed forces and nearly 100 million civilian fighters are the solid foundation of our land. The freaks are indeed dangerous, but aren't they as sneaky as rats?”

“You are right. They are just rats after all.”

There was not much abnormality on the way back. Soon, they boarded the armored train back to Ninghai City.

The vehicle they got into was a luxury car. Qin Ya sat in her seat, working while massaging her head. As for Lin Yao, he took the information she had collected and quickly looked through it.

‘I am surprised she has collected so much information. While I was evolving, Qin Ya must have kept very busy.'

Indeed, she had not idled around. After meeting with those people last night, Qin Ya had asked someone to inquire about their information, and because of this, she'd been able to give Lin Yao comprehensive information on them.

While reading through the information, Lin Yao used his normal field of vision to read the general information, but when he came across important terms or had doubts, he would activate his accelerated thinking to rely on the increased arithmetic ability to see if there were any hidden traps.

Since this evolution, Lin Yao had not only enhanced his physical body, but his mental strength had also been greatly boosted due to the angelic holy infant.

‘Although I can't be sure, I feel that I can activate accelerated thinking for at least one minute.'

His body had been greatly enhanced, his ability to understand light had been strengthened considerably, and his mental strength had also been improved. Lin Yao had benefited a lot from one evolution.

All this was well-deserved. It was not easy to obtain 100,000 points of energy value. Without Qin Ya's help, it would have taken Lin Yao at least a year to achieve this.

This was calculated based on the fact that Lin Yao had the talent to make money quickly. Otherwise, if he only volunteered at orphanages, the duration would be extended to more than 10 years.

After all, Lin Yao and Qin Ya had been busy for several days in order to collect the 50,000 to 60,000 grams of energy (the remaining 50,000 energy grams of the angel orb), and they'd also spent around five million yuan in total. Many people could not make this amount in their lifetime.

‘100 yuan per gram of energy. Although it is expensive, the harvest is bountiful. In other words, after spending 100 million yuan, I will be able to get 1 million grams of energy. When that happens, should I continue to upgrade the Celestial Tree or the Tree of Heaven Punishment?'

Lin Yao had a silly look on his face as he thought about all these possibilities. He was jolted awake by Qin Ya's reminder. “You are drooling.”

“Ah, I'm sorry.”

Lin Yao picked up the paper towel on the table and quickly wiped his mouth. He calmed down slightly and once again turned his attention to the materials in his hands. There was a lot of information that he had to look through, and he noticed that the investors were quite generous. There were almost no terms or restrictions, and the investment did not emphasize returns. On the contrary, it was all about making friends. What left Lin Yao speechless was that there were many photos of different girls at the very end, with their details listed next to the photos.

Many girls were included in the information, and half of the information was on them. Lin Yao could not help but frown as he looked at Qin Ya.

“What is this?”

“Your assistant.” After saying that, Qin Ya teased Lin Yao. “An assistant who can do anything.”

Lin Yao was not the least bit excited when he heard her words. Instead, his expression turned cold. “Stop kidding.”

“I am not kidding. You can choose three to four girls out of them, but let me make this clear: You can only vent your desires with these assistants in the future. Don't go anywhere else. It will be very troublesome if you are exposed.”

Qin Ya looked very indifferent and maintained the same cool expression when she made those remarks. However, for some reason, Lin Yao was filled with anger because of her indifference.

“Vent my desires? What do you take me for?”

“An impulsive youth who can't control his desire.”

“I…”

Lin Yao clenched his fists at her words. However, before he could vent his anger, Qin Ya turned the tablet in his direction. The tablet screen displayed the news. To be exact, it was news from Ninghai City.

At first glance, Lin Yao saw two clear photos on the tablet. One of the photos showed Lin Yao staggering in the distance (he was vomiting blood after being beaten by a furious Yan Yu'er early in the morning), and the other photo showed Yan Yu'er walking out of the hotel, looking out of sorts. Lin Yao's eyes hardened when he read the headlines of the news.

“People often become friends after a fight. A Ninghai City socialite and a young genius fell in love at first sight and went straight to the hotel after the competition.”

“What a quarrelsome but loving couple. You have to apologize in the future for the beating you gave me today.”

“One Sword looks weak, and the Flaming Fairy is very pale. What happened to the two of them at night?”

Lin Yao could no longer maintain a relaxed expression upon reading the peculiar, eye-catching headlines. Thunder light burst in his eyes.

After a few breaths, he made use of the accelerated thinking to quickly browse through some forums in Ninghai City and soon realized that the news had already spread throughout the entire city. He also found some clues in the short time he relied on his powerful arithmetic ability.

‘These photos can't have been taken in secret by an ordinary person. The news was not there yesterday, yet it spread all over the city early this morning. There is obviously someone behind all this. Who is it? The Yan Family's opponent or… the Yan Family itself?

‘It shouldn't be the Yan Family. I have a recording of that day (as mentioned previously). Even if everyone knows about this incident, it will not affect me much.'

Lin Yao was frowning and contemplating this. Just as he started to accelerate his thinking to consider how he should respond, Qin Ya spoke up. “If you know something will be troublesome, you have to control yourself in the future.”

Upon hearing these indifferent words, Lin Yao glanced at her.

“You are not anxious at all. Well, indeed, I am the one who borrowed 10 million yuan.”

“That's an investment, but you don't want it. I'm not anxious because I expected it.”

Qin Ya was not lying about this. Lin Yao had told her about this before. Thanks to her strong professionalism and her understanding of females, she had not only expected this incident to happen but had even known that Yan Yu'er had not taken the initiative to climb into Lin Yao's bed that day.

If she had taken the initiative, Yan Yu'er would not have been so disheartened or confused for several days after the incident. She would take the initiative at times and feel sad and pitiful at other times.

Of course, there was no need for Qin Ya to tell Lin Yao about this.

Since she knew that there was something fishy about what had happened that day, she naturally knew that if the relationship between the two of them did not go well, something would definitely happen. Given that she was very familiar with the high-level officials of Ninghai City, she could even tell who was behind it.

If she'd wanted to, Qin Ya could even have stopped the incident before it had caused an uproar among the public.

However, like she had said, as a businesswoman, Qin Ya would never parade at night when she was dressed to the nines and would only do good deeds without leaving a name.

She knew very well that if this incident did not cause an uproar, Lin Yao would never understand the future trouble caused by this incident. If she handled it before it caused an uproar, Lin Yao would not care or appreciate it at all.

At the same time, she also needed to help Lin Yao deal with a troublesome mess to prove her ability. Although she had done well in the past few days, and Lin Yao was also very satisfied, in order to make sure that Lin Yao would continue working with her and hire her as his only manager, she did not mind proving her work efficiency once again. This was so that it would leave a deep impression on Lin Yao and remind him that she was capable and outstanding.

“Since you expected it, you should have a counter plan, right?”

‘That's what I was waiting for.'
