novelKing Seedling
| ← Ch.169 | Ch.171 → |
"Let them wait. Tell them the meeting will be postponed until tomorrow."
"Uh... Sure, Principal."
The old principal had no time for the meeting. The old man on the other end of the line stared at Lin Yao's body and was silent for a long while. After 15 more minutes, when Lin Yao had undergone electric current development for an hour, the old principal finally spoke up.
"Give me his existing information."
The king seedling was rare. Even if Lin Yao's performance was very exceptional now, he was not necessarily a king. He had to look at the situation of the other king seedlings to be certain.
Che Zhengyi, who was from the capital, had picked up the king technique within 10 to 15 minutes. He was at the silver level but had gone beyond the ranks by defeating a gold warlord instantaneously with one sword move.
The spatial genius, Duanmu Ling, could open portals in two places thousands of miles away, which was of extremely important strategic significance for the country.
The steel body, Bie Ang, was a scientific genius who had created his own technique, Titanium Body. He kept working hard to learn about various subjects and had his own research institute where he studied how to transform humans with steel bodies into space warships.
These people had either amazing talent, strategic significance, or could create new martial arts. Only such geniuses could be considered king seedlings.
Although Lin Yao was powerful, he only had amazing cultivation talent. He could not be compared to these extremely abnormal geniuses.
However, he also had an advantage. He needed very few resources to improve his strength, and his improvement speed was very fast. Besides, light and thunder abilities were also needed by the country. Therefore, taking all this into consideration, Lin Yao could barely be considered a king seedling.
However, he was barely one. He would not pass if he was nominated now.
After a while, the principal, who was on the other end of the line, finished reading through Lin Yao's information and made a decision.
"I will give it a try for your sake. However, in the best-case scenario, even if Lin Yao receives the diamond grading, he will only have the fewest resources among all the others of the same rank. Of course, after receiving the resources, he will continue to be secretly reviewed. When the review is over, he will receive what he deserves."
"That will be enough."
While the two of them were talking, Lin Yao was still undergoing electric current stimulation.
In the past, Lin Yao had not been able to hold on any longer, but it was different this time. The Armored Body Of Light, which had reached LV7, had improved Lin Yao's healing ability once again. More importantly, now that the Celestial Tree had advanced to the gold level, the light energy within Lin Yao contained a trace of angelic power, and this power was an extra bonus to the power of light. The angelic power was even able to heal injuries caused by gold combat skills.
This was the current situation. In the past, whenever Lin Yao had undergone electric current development, even though the power of light had been able to heal him, he'd still suffered some hidden injuries. When the injuries had accumulated, he had no longer been able to take it and he'd had to end the electric current development.
Although the angelic power was very weak and was unable to completely heal Lin Yao's injury, he was able to go through the electric current stimulation for a longer duration.
One hour was no longer his limit. In fact, after such a long period of development, Lin Yao still had an abundance of light energy in his body.
This was the effect of the Lord of Light, and it was also why he had told people to leave the chair outside.
Thanks to Lin Yao's will, all the light energy within a radius of 50 meters and a diameter of 100 meters converged toward his body in tandem with Lin Yao's breathing. The large amount of light energy supplemented Lin Yao and was a steady source of energy for him.
This way, the light energy and the electric current converged in Lin Yao's body, and his body was rapidly and actively changing due to the Light Adjustment and the electric current stimulation.
Time passed, and another half an hour flew by as Lin Yao's body underwent more changes.
"Warning, warning! The body temperature of Target One has reached 45 degrees."
"Warning, warning! The body temperature of Target One has reached 45 degrees and is still rising. It's still rising."
The energy was concentrated, and the cells were abnormally active, which made Lin Yao's body redden and turn even hotter.
Initially, his body temperature had not been very high, but now it had reached 45 degrees. A normal person in the normal world would already be considered dead upon reaching this temperature.
However, a martial artist who had absorbed spirit energy was obviously abnormal. The professor was not worried about Lin Yao's temperature reaching 45 degrees. The old principal on the other end of the line seemed to have been involved in scientific research in the past. After observing Lin Yao with Professor Li for half an hour, he saw these changes and said, "Check the vital signs monitor to see if this student's vital signs are still normal."
"Reporting. His blood flow has accelerated, his heart rate has increased, and his adrenaline is secreted at a rapid rate. However, according to our data analysis, Lin Yao is still healthy."
"Then go ahead. Just protect his brain and cool down his head."
Soon, a cooler was placed on top of Lin Yao's head. However, it was pushed away by Professor Li.
"Use this."
It was an amulet that looked like white jade. The amulet exuded a cold, cool aura. After it was placed on Lin Yao's forehead, the temperature of his head dropped instantaneously. Besides, as the amulet was placed on his forehead, his face, which was in pain and was convulsing due to the drastic changes in his body, also eased a little.
"The Cold Moon Amulet. You actually used this amulet?!"
"What's the matter? It will recover by absorbing moonlight anyway. I intend to also use... yours."
"Huh?"
"What happened just now will happen again. He may encounter it in his future development, so he'll need the Cold Moon Amulet to protect his brain."
"Why don't you keep using yours?"
"This belonged to my late wife. Using it is considered a favor. If his talent is known by others, many people will be willing to give theirs to him. I'm actually helping you."
"Well, I really have to thank you."
During the conversation, Lin Yao was still undergoing electric current development, and the increase in his body temperature meant that his body had almost reached its limit. Hence, the temperature was getting higher and higher.
45, 48, 50... 60.
By the time his body temperature reached 60 degrees, Lin Yao had already spent two and a half hours undergoing electric current development, which was several times longer than the duration of development he had gone through in the past.
After advancing to the gold level, the Celestial Tree was really much stronger than when it had been at the silver level. Thanks to the Armored Body Of Light, Lin Yao's ability to withstand injuries and recover had been enhanced several times.
The Lord of Light talent might not seem powerful, but it was very effective.
Due to the Lord of Light, Lin Yao's Clear Mirror Body Technique could refract light up to 50 meters away, and it was also the Lord of Light that allowed Lin Yao to maintain the holy garment for a longer time.
In addition, the Lord of Light enabled him to condense light to create a mirror and illuminate the enemy without drawing a sword. With the Lord of Light, Lin Yao did not have to worry about running out of energy during the electric current development.
His endurance, recovery ability, and persistence power issues had all been resolved, so Lin Yao was able to undergo in-depth development for several times longer. The duration had increased from 40 minutes to two and a half hours.
In fact, Lin Yao had not reached his limit yet. However, Professor Li did not dare continue. A body temperature of 60 degrees was too high, and he could not afford any mishaps befalling such a genius.
"Stop the electric current and continue to observe the vital signs. Report to me immediately if any issues arise."
"Yes, Professor."
As the electric current dissipated, although there was still light energy converging toward Lin Yao, the temperature of his hot body finally began to drop.
The physical development was over, but Lin Yao had not woken up yet. However, his pained, distorted face eased and relaxed further.
A new data report was read out loud to Professor Li 10 minutes later.
"Reporting. Student Lin Yao's body temperature has begun to drop. The activity of his body cells is also decreasing. It is expected that in half an hour's time, his body will be stabilized. However..."
"However?"
"Although Student Lin Yao is in a steady condition, his body cells are still active, which is similar to the state of a martial artist who practices military boxing."
As soon as he said this, the people who knew what was going on clenched their fists with a look of envy on their faces.
"Don't tell me that... his cell activity is as active as that of ordinary martial artists who practiced military boxing? Does this mean that even if Lin Yao does nothing but sleep, his body will undergo the same training effect as ordinary people practicing military boxing?"
"I really don't envy you for being able to practice martial arts while being asleep. I really don't envy you... Ah... Damn, why don't I have such talent?"
Lin Yao was able to increase his physical fitness even while sleeping, and the effect was similar to that of ordinary martial artists who practiced military boxing. Everyone envied him for his talent.
Everyone present had a mental breakdown.
"Wait, where does the energy come from? It takes a huge amount of physical energy to practice military boxing. A martial artist can get it through food. As for Student Lin Yao..."
"He has light energy. His cells and the lines on his chest contain a lot of light energy. It is this energy that keeps Lin Yao's body in an active state. Besides, a martial artist will get tired after exercising for a long time. Student Lin Yao's light energy is not only activating his cells but also replenishing his life energy, which means that he can keep on training without stopping."
"Stop it. If you continue, I might not be able to stop myself from striking."
"Damn, the gap between people is sometimes even larger than the gap between humans and dogs."
Everyone was envious, and the old principal on the other end of the line no longer hesitated."I will propose to the Youth Review Committee to list Lin Yao as a diamond-level genius."
After speaking, the person on the other side of the phone ended the call, while Professor Li looked at Lin Yao's body and suddenly said, "Connect the electric current."
"Ah, Professor, that would not be good. Student Lin Yao hasn't recovered yet."
"I told you to connect the electric current. However, I am not referring to the electric current intensity of in-depth development but to the charging intensity."
"Charging intensity?"
The group of researchers did not understand Professor Li's words, but they followed his instructions.
One minute later, the electric current was switched on, and Lin Yao's body changed again due to the electric current.
"Professor, Lin Yao's body cells have become active again. Because the current intensity is not high, the cell activity intensity is not high either. However, it is still 10 times higher than it is in a relaxed state."
"What about his physical condition?"
"He's getting better."
"Getting better? Then you can continue to increase it... Wait, this intensity will do."
Professor Li looked at the sky and did not make any other changes. However, he ordered someone to move Lin Yao to the bed to sleep. Of course, the electric current was kept the same during this process.
Lin Yao had participated in the competition at noon. There had been several battles before his turn. After the competition, he had been deeply stimulated by the electric current for more than two hours in the research institute. Several hours had passed since then. The sky turned dark half an hour after the electric current was connected for the second time.
Without the sun, Lin Yao could no longer absorb light energy, but the electric current stimulation had not stopped, which made Lin Yao's body automatically use the light energy that was stored in it.
The researchers noticed the change.
"Professor, the energy intensity of Lin Yao's body is decreasing."
"Okay. Send someone to keep watch over him, and when the light energy intensity in him disappears, turn off the electric current."
After he said this, Professor Li revealed a trace of envy on his face.
'With your energy reserves, this kind of shallow development could last overnight. After two and a half hours of in-depth electric current development and an all-nighter of shallow development, I really wonder how different your body will be when you wake up. '
Professor Li was envious, but he was looking forward to how strong Lin Yao would be when he woke up even more, and he couldn't wait to see how powerful he would be if he continued to develop in this manner either.
