Chapter 100: Lying Low to Grow

‘The Flower of Sin is a very befitting title.’

Lin Yao nodded as this thought appeared in his mind.

Upon seeing this, Li Shan didn’t dare dawdle. He immediately told someone to carry Lin Yao away and then shouted at everyone to guard themselves against the seed. Although he had not noticed anything unusual about the seed, Li Shan was still worried. He took out a pair of gilded gloves with many runes on them and used a pair of tweezers to gingerly pick up and place the seed into a tightly-sealed box.

“Police Officer Chang, let’s split into two teams. You take Ah Yao to the hospital. I need to keep watch and take this seed to the Sealed Property Management Office.”

“Got it.”

The two teams separated. After half an hour of high-speed journey, Lin Yao was escorted to a military hospital. A doctor was already waiting for him to arrive. When Lin Yao entered the hospital, he was immediately treated and closely guarded.

Meanwhile, wearing a grave expression, Li Shan had also arrived at the Sealed Property Management Office with the seed of the scarlet flower. However, what the few of them did not know was that… shortly after their departure, an obscure-looking woman clad in white clothing had drifted to the place from afar like a ghost. She had then stopped beside the scarlet flower and watched it for a long time.

…

“All his muscles are injured. To be specific, his throat is seriously injured. He needs to undergo emergency treatment, or he may go dumb.”

After arriving at the hospital, Lin Yao had undergone numerous examinations. During these examinations, the doctors had discovered that Lin Yao had not wounded only his vocal cords but also other parts of his body.

Lin Yao was not surprised, as this was a result of the stress caused by the combat mode.

The Electric Current Stimulation Combat Suit could stimulate the human body, allowing humans to cross their limits and unleash 200% of their power.

Nevertheless, human limitations were not necessarily a bad thing.

On the contrary, most of the limitations were a form of protection. For example, the human mind would filter a lot of information in order to prevent overworking the brain. This also applied to human strength.

The human body had its limits. When one unleashed all their power to attack the enemy, the enemy might not necessarily be the one who died. When someone came into contact with the enemy, their arm might be completely shattered if it was unable to withstand the force of the impact.

Lin Yao’s situation was similar. Furthermore, he had used electric shock to stimulate his body, which had worsened his injuries.

Fortunately, Lin Yao was aware of this. Before switching on the combat mode of the Electric Current Stimulation Combat Suit, he had made the light attribute vital energy seeds explode in advance to fill his cells with the power of light and increase his physical strength.

He had suffered minor instead of major injuries because of this.

‘Fortunately, I have the Body of Light and my physical injuries will soon recover after I bask in the sun, but this throat injury is troublesome.’

Of course, Lin Yao was not worried about going dumb. After the Spirit Energy Revival, the cures for human illnesses were no longer limited to drugs. There were all kinds of special ways to treat illness. However, because of this injury, Lin Yao felt that he was not fated to participate in the school competition.

‘Although I won’t get a lot of rewards by winning the cohort competition, no matter how small a mosquito leg is, it has some flesh. Besides, this competition offers eligibility to not only enter the top class but also to participate in the City Youth Competition.’

Lin Yao had not forgotten that the city had initiated the school competition this time. The competition at school was only a preview, and the real reward would come after the final inter-school battle, when the most talented youth suitable for fighting would be determined.

‘Sigh… I might have to be absent this time.’

While Lin Yao was shaking his head, a special medical staff member attended to his wounds.

After all, he had been injured on duty. Most importantly, Lin Yao had outstanding talent and was also willing to come forward and take on responsibilities. This was the favorite kind of fighter of the city leaders. Of course, they would not do nothing about Lin Yao’s injury or dare to disappoint Lin Yao.

Geniuses were allowed to travel at will in the country. Although they had been given massive resources and subsidies, the other cities that were willing to accept Lin Yao could also help Lin Yao repay the city.

Even Lin Yao could repay the city himself. As long as he remained in the country, the city could not restrict his personal freedom.

Lin Yao could come and go at will, and the city was urgently in need of powerful fighters to stabilize the situation. However, powerful fighters had many choices, and it was simply not up to them. Lin Yao was still growing up, and there was a chance that he might be stationed there. Naturally, they wouldn’t dare disappoint Lin Yao.

Before the medical staff member could conclude their discussion, a person that Lin Yao was familiar with stepped into the ward.

“You actually went to fight freaks while you’re still in high school. You’re really not afraid of death. Focus on your core responsibilities and study well!”

As she spoke furiously, she also flicked one of her fingers hard against Lin Yao’s forehead.

“Ouch, it hurts. Chief Shi, why did you come here… Oh… I can talk now.”

Earlier on, Lin Yao’s throat had been hoarse and he had been unable to make a sound. He was surprised that he could do so now. Although he still felt some discomfort in his throat, he could speak now.

Lin Yao had also discovered why after observing. With that flick of her finger, Chief Shi from the Abnormal Ability Department had not only punished Lin Yao but also used her combat skill.

Lin Yao didn’t know what the combat skill was, but the power of light flowed from his forehead to his entire body and treated his injuries. The wound in Lin Yao’s throat had been treated by this power of light.

“The light ability is really useful. It’s no wonder everyone likes people who have light abilities. Fortunately, I’m also one of them.”

As Lin Yao exclaimed, Chief Shi answered his question. “I’m the director of the First Military Hospital of Ninghai. Why can’t I come here?”

“Oh, you’re the director of the hospital.”

“Why not? I have the power of light, and who else has a stronger healing ability than me? Besides, I chose to major in medicine when I was in university.”

Lin Yao did not know what else to say. He could only say, “Chief Shi, you are almighty.”

“Don’t talk back. This incident is not over. You’re not allowed to be involved in such dangerous activities in the future, okay? Not before you graduate from university. Things have not gone so far that the country needs minors to join the army.”

‘I’m going… to be an adult soon.’

Just as he was about to say this, Lin Yao quickly realized that he was only a seventeen-year-old senior high school student, so he was not considered an adult.

Chief Shi was also well aware of this.

“There’s still one more year to go. Plus, you have not graduated from university, gotten married, or had kids. How can you be considered an adult?”

Chief Shi reprimanded Lin Yao for a long time in the ward and told him that both his participation in the night patrols and the mysterious land excursions had fallen through. When the city leaders who knew about Lin Yao’s talent heard about the dangers he had experienced, they certainly would not allow him to take on such dangerous jobs again, at least not before he grew up.

Lin Yao felt slightly upset about this. One of his energy sources had been cut off, though he also felt relieved at the same time. After all, he had thought of temporarily ??resuming his normal life to become more powerful first.

‘It will take too long to wait until I graduate from university, but I need to lie low for a period of time in order to grow steadily.

‘Learning, learning… This is your top priority now. When you grow up, the country will call on you to fight even if you’re reluctant to do so.’

As he contemplated his future plans, Lin Yao nodded in response to Chief Shi’s reprimand.

“I understand.”

While looking down, Lin Yao had a feeling that Chief Shi’s nagging would last a long time. However, after she said a few more words, Lin Yao suddenly felt a pair of warm hands on his face and raised his head.

At present, there was no longer a blaming look on Chief Shi’s face. Instead, there was admiration on it.

“Although I don’t support your actions, you have done very well this time. Because of you, we’ve discovered a hidden powerful freak. It’s also thanks to you that we’ve prevented the loss of 20-odd elite fighters. I would like to thank you on behalf of them and their families.”

“This is my duty.”

“No, it’s not. We should protect you. You don’t need to be humble.”

After reprimanding him, Chief Shi also praised Lin Yao for his character and told him that the city had recognized his meritorious service and granted him rewards.

However, before leaving, Chief Shi also warned Lin Yao strictly that he could not act like a hero and go looking for freaks at night again.

‘I’m not that stupid. Even if I go and chase freaks, I won’t act alone.’

Morality and justice were not taken into consideration when it came to beating up freaks. Teaming up and fighting alongside one another was the right way. Thus, Lin Yao had made a decision. Regardless of how weak or small the freak he encountered was, he would contact the police and summon them to deal with this siege of justice.

‘Why would I be a lone ranger? I have the support of the government, so I’m not stupid enough to be a lone ranger.’
