I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart-Chapter 192 - His Mental Strength Broke Through 100
Chapter 192: His Mental Strength Broke Through 100
‘Today, my mental strength must break through to 100!’
With this thought in mind, Lin Yao endured the pain and meditated.
Fortunately, he did not need to take the initiative to outline the Leize Dragon God. When his consciousness completely sank into the Tree of Heaven Punishment, countless charms of thunder and lightning emerged from his heart. As he recalled the Leize Dragon God, the charm of thunder and lightning automatically outlined the silhouette of the Leize Great God.
When the virtual image of the Leize Great God completely emerged, Lin Yao instantly sank into the perception of thunder and lightning. Thanks to this perception, his mental strength grew rapidly, and he gained a better comprehension of thunder and lightning.
Of course, he had not forgotten the feathered serpent spirit. The Leize Dragon God in the Sea of Consciousness was still in the form of a dragon, and the feathered serpent spirit also took this opportunity to become more similar to the great god.
Mental strength had some similar effects to the charms of the Tree of Heaven Punishment and could thus replace them. When mental strength reached 99, the Leize Dragon God in Lin Yao’s Sea of Consciousness could appear for a longer time. Unfortunately, Lin Yao’s mental strength was too weak. When the two were added together, it only lasted a little more than ten seconds.
Lin Yao forcibly meditated during the intense brain development, and he was more exhausted this time than before. When everything was over, he blinked and slipped into a coma.
He could vaguely hear cries of concern.
“Ah Yao!”
“He’s slipped into a coma. Check his vitals. Hurry.”
“Doctor! Get a doctor here!”
Lin Yao fell into the deepest sleep amid these loud shouts. It was six o’clock the next morning when he woke up, and the sun had risen from the horizon.
‘I feel so good.’
Lin Yao liked it best when he fell asleep directly after brain development. One night of sleep and recovery could eliminate all his fatigue during the day.
However, Lin Yao realized that something was wrong when he woke up this time. Firstly, no electrode patches were attached to his body. Secondly, when he opened his eyes and looked ahead, he could vaguely perceive what was behind him.
‘Did I acquire a divine eye?’
Unaware of what was going on, Lin Yao turned back and realized that the things behind him were similar to what he’d felt.
While he was at a loss, he suddenly noticed someone coming in through the door.
He did not hear it but he inexplicably felt it through the wall. Not only could he perceive the people outside the door, but he could also vaguely sense the people in the research institute.
In addition, Lin Yao could even perceive distant sounds, the sounds of people talking, the roar of machines running, and… the sounds that suddenly echoed in the surroundings.
“Dad, I already had breakfast. Don’t worry about me.”
“My dear, I’m driving. I’ll hang up now.”
“Xiao Li, hurry up. Bring the files to my office…”
‘Ah, it hurts!’
Lin Yao had a bad headache due to the sudden sounds, the faint perception, as well as the many messy voices in the research institute. He was distraught and anguished when he suddenly received so much information.
It had only been two or three seconds since he’d woken up, but he clutched his head and screamed in pain.
“Ah Yao, are you okay?”
“Senior Sister Jiang, come and take a look. What’s wrong with Ah Yao?”
“Professor, you are here too.”
Lin Yao, who was in pain, attracted the attention of everyone outside. Soon, a bunch of people rushed into Lin Yao’s room and made various sounds. There were urgent calls, eager footsteps, anxious heartbeats, and more…
Many voices gathered at once. In addition, the vague perception of what was happening in the research institute, as well as the sudden noises, increased the stress that Lin Yao felt. Blue veins bulged on his forehead, and blood gushed into Lin Yao’s head. His face had flushed red.
However, the nourishment of the blood was not enough to relieve Lin Yao’s aching headache.
While he was in great pain, Lin Yao gritted his teeth and unleashed a vital energy seed. A weak electric current entered his brain, and he activated his accelerated thinking ability.
This was the right approach. Although Lin Yao received more information after entering the state of accelerated thinking, the messy and vague perception from before became clear in his mind. Due to his stronger arithmetic ability, he instantly sorted everything out. He no longer had a headache, and he could even detect the reason.
‘There doesn’t seem to be any problem with my brain since I can suddenly accept so much information. Instead, it seems like a benefit. Yesterday, my mental strength reached 99, and I entered a meditative state during the brain development at night…’
When he thought of this, Lin Yao’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly looked at his senior sister, opening his mouth to voice his doubts.
“La wu gu lu…”
Initially, everyone was happy to see that Lin Yao was no longer crying in pain and was starting to speak. However, soon, they were overwhelmed by the series of gurgling sounds coming out of Lin Yao’s mouth.
Lin Yao was also dumbfounded. He found that his consciousness was a little out of sync with his body. He wanted to convey his thoughts quickly. After the consciousness gave instructions, his body began moving, but it was difficult to be in sync with the consciousness. His body was speaking too fast, and in the end, he could not make himself clear.
Both of them were confused. In the end, Professor Li responded.
He was knowledgeable, so he seemed to have thought of something. The panic on his face disappeared, and he opened his mouth joyfully. “Don’t be in a hurry. Speak slowly. Do you think that I am speaking very slowly now?”
‘Do you… think that… I am… speaking… very… slowly?’
Even without Professor Li’s reminder, Lin Yao discovered that he was speaking more than three times slower.
Lin Yao had a super arithmetic ability in his state of accelerated thinking, so he quickly understood the reason.
‘My guess is correct. These abnormalities have been caused by the breakthrough of my mental strength. The vague perception is mental strength perception. My accelerated thinking seems to be affected by my mental strength, which has broken through to 100. Right now, due to the thinking acceleration, everything in my eyes is three times the normal speed, although it is slowed down. I wonder what’s with the arithmetic ability… The arithmetic ability has also increased. I can now communicate with Professor Li and the others while dealing with the surrounding situation.’
Lin Yao’s thoughts jumped, and he tried to speak slowly as he asked the burning question on his mind.
“My mental strength seems to have broken through to 100 and has undergone a qualitative change. It’s alright now. However, under normal circumstances, my head hurts so much because I receive too much information. How do other people prevent their heads from hurting?”
This was Lin Yao’s question, and Professor Li’s answer was even simpler. “Just waiting will do.”
Seeing that Lin Yao did not understand him, Professor Li smiled and said, “Human adaptability is stronger than you think. You are now receiving a lot of information at once, but you can’t handle all of it. It’s natural that your head hurts, but some useless information will be actively shielded by the subconscious mind soon. You have to endure it for two or three days and you will be able to adapt.”
“I have to endure it and wait as I adapt? Alright, I understand.”
After knowing the answer, Lin Yao deactivated accelerated thinking and instantly felt as if his brain was rusty. His arithmetic ability slowed down drastically, and his originally clear perception slowly became blurry.
His perception was blurry, and his arithmetic ability slowed down even more, which made his head hurt once again.
At that moment, Professor Li began to send people out of the room.
“Everyone, please leave. Lin Yao is alright. This is good news, but we can’t disturb him in the next few days. Now, he needs a quiet environment.”
Afterward, Professor Li left with a group of people, leaving Lin Yao alone in the room.
Lin Yao felt much better now that there were no more loud noises in the room. However, he soon frowned, as too many sounds could be heard outside.
‘Being very perceptive is not a good thing.’
Lin Yao spent the next three days nursing a splitting headache. He was tortured by the headache, and he could not do anything but lie on the bed.
The severe headache even rendered him unable to enter his Sea of Consciousness.
Fortunately, he could still relieve some of the pain with the help of accelerated thinking. Qin Ya also brought him some Peacebloom Water to relieve his stress. Otherwise, Lin Yao felt that he would have been driven crazy.
However, what flustered him was that three days passed quickly, but his condition was only slightly alleviated. He still had a splitting headache.
When Jiang Rong checked on Lin Yao’s condition again, she also noticed that something was wrong.
“This shouldn’t be the case. You can indeed subconsciously receive the surrounding information if your mental strength exceeds 100. However, this only applies to everything within 10 meters. Whatever is more than 10 meters away but within 100 meters will be blurry, and you will not perceive anything further than 100 meters at all. Although there is lots of information, these conditions should be alleviated in a day or two given your physique.”
As she was pondering this, Professor Li, who had been called over, stood next to her and was also frowning. Lin Yao suddenly opened his eyes when he heard what she said.
“A radius of 100 meters? No, the information that I perceive is more than 1,000 meters away.”
“Huh?”
“This is impossible.”
As soon as Lin Yao said that, apart from Jiang Rong’s reaction, Professor Li’s expression also suddenly changed. He looked at Lin Yao in horror and commented loudly that it was impossible.
“Do you know what a radius of 1,000 meters represents? Even a silver powerhouse with good mental strength may not be able to do this. You are just a martial artist, so how can you… Wait!”
Initially, Professor Li said that it was impossible, but he soon thought of something, and his shock turned into joy again.
Lin Yao noticed his expression and while he was suffering from a splitting headache, he quickly looked at Professor Li.
“Professor, do you know something?”
“Yes. I don’t know if I should say that you are lucky or unlucky. Your situation is not merely the result of your mental strength. After the mental strength breakthrough, you must have awakened a new talent. If my guess is right, this talent must be related to electromagnetic waves as well.”
Seeing that Lin Yao looked puzzled, he smiled and said, “Your mental strength is at 100 points, and pure mental strength detection can only observe what’s happening within the surrounding few dozen meters or at most 100 meters. But when mental strength breaks through to 100, not only can you separate the mental strength from the body, but there are other benefits as well. One benefit is that it is more convenient to control the body. A second benefit is that there is a certain chance that you will awaken other talents, such as psychokinesis or the talent to manipulate the elements. There are two awakening methods that are related to mental strength. One is awakening a talent on a certain day by chance, and the other is having a certain chance of awakening a talent when the mental strength breaks through to 100. You should have done the latter.”
After speaking, he shook his head and continued.
“Your situation is a bit special. You have the thunder talent, and the electric current has a magnetic effect, so it will form a magnetic field. Electric and magnetic fields fluctuate in space, just like throwing flat stones across water to make them bounce off the surface, forming electromagnetic waves. Your awakened ability must be able to receive electromagnetic waves.
“Right now, do you hear some inexplicable words and sounds in your surroundings?”
