I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 44: Unlocking The Gene Lock

If the opponent could unleash 200% of their body strength, while the other party only used 50% of their body strength, that would make a four-fold difference. When one became a warlord and one’s body became firmer and stronger, one could even reach 300% of one’s body strength.

Of course, such an ultimate release of power was considered a killer move. After using it, Di Qiang had to rest and receive treatment, or he would run the risk of damaging his foundation. However, unlocking the gene lock was still very powerful.

Still, this was not what Lin Yao admired the most. Military boxing was meant to work on one’s foundation, and its profound meaning could also be useful for one’s training.

The cultivation of a martial artist was meant to absorb the spirit energy and complement it with the body. Ordinary people could only cultivate unconsciously, while martial artists could condense vital energy seeds to perceive spirit energy. However, it was very difficult to mobilize all the strength within one’s body.

Those who realized the profound meaning of military boxing and unlocked the gene lock could actively mobilize the muscles and tendons of the body, even to the extent of slightly utilizing one’s blood and aura. This meant that such martial artists could manipulate spirit energy and the physical body. Their cultivation speed would definitely speed up as a result.

At the same time, the practice of most combat skills was also somewhat related to the physical body. For example, one had to train the palms to use the Vajra Palm and train the arms in order to use the Sword-Drawing Technique.

When practicing such combat skills, unlocking the gene lock would aid in controlling the body and speeding up the cultivation process.

‘The ultimate strike of unlocking the gene lock is not the strongest, but it is most useful in speeding up the cultivation of a martial artist. Damn, there are so many geniuses in the world. There is Zhou Yang, who has a natural divine power, and Di Qiang, who has a powerful comprehension ability.’

Lin Yao was envious of Di Qiang’s killing move.

The technique necessary to comprehend how to unlock the gene lock was right before Lin Yao. He had even practiced it for several years. However, he could do nothing about the fact that he could not comprehend it.

“Oh, it would be great if there was a way to improve my comprehension ability. When I comprehend and unlock the gene lock, many people will definitely admire me.”

Zhang Heng voiced his thoughts out loud. He sat aside, daydreaming and marveling at Di Qiang’s ability. Meanwhile, Lin Yao was thinking about its feasibility.

‘If I want to realize the profound meaning, apart from going through arduous training, I will need to have a good comprehension ability, which is even more important. However, among the mortals in this world, very few geniuses have a good comprehension ability. Besides, supplements that can improve one’s understanding are very expensive. Therefore, this is a distant dream for them. However, it’s different for me. The second tree species in my mind is still empty… Perhaps I can make use of gold resources to apply for the Enlightenment Leaf and the Bodhi Tree seed?’

Upon seeing that Di Qiang had realized the profound meaning, Lin Yao had the urge to increase his comprehension ability.

He was still deep in thought when Zhang Heng spoke up. “Ah Yao, how confident are you about fighting against Di Qiang?”

Lin Yao looked at Di Qiang’s lean figure in the video and thought for a while before shaking his head. “I am not confident about defeating him. The full-body control is meant to enhance the control of the body. Apart from gathering one’s strength, one can also control one’s ears. As long as he works hard while training in the next few days, he could become a master of blind warfare.”

Di Qiang could master the ability to control his entire body. This was how powerful full-body control was. Besides, military boxing, which had been developed by thousands of scientists, was indeed powerful. Although the killer move was not as powerful as long-range attacks like the Divine Strike or Vajra Palm, it could strengthen one’s foundation.

As a result, Di Qiang might be able to resist Lin Yao’s Clear Mirror Sword-Drawing Technique. However, that was not the sole reason Lin Yao was not confident about the fight.

Most of the human senses were dependent on the eyes, so one was used to relying on one’s eyes to perceive one’s surroundings. Even if one had good hearing, the sudden loss of vision would still affect one’s movements. This would be fatal in a tight battle.

The two parties had to be evenly matched. Based on the video, Di Qiang’s abilities were way superior to Lin Yao’s. Thanks to the Vibrating Muscles, Di Qiang could gather all his strength with one move. There was no way Lin Yao could withstand this.

At the same time, Di Qiang was not just powerful. He also had very quick reflexes. The crux of Lin Yao’s Sword-Drawing Technique was its ultimate speed. However, after watching the video, Lin Yao was certain that Di Qiang could definitely resist his Sword-Drawing Technique.

“There is no way to win.”

This was the situation that Lin Yao was facing right now. However, Lin Yao was not disappointed by his weakness. Instead, he wanted to unlock the profound meaning through the gene lock even more.

Zhang Heng patted Lin Yao on the shoulder, comforting Lin Yao, who had confirmed that he had no chance of winning.

“Don’t be discouraged. You are way better than others. At the very least, you won’t rank last. There’s still me.”

“Well…”

Upon seeing that Zhang Heng seemed about to cry, Lin Yao consoled him instead.

School ended after the competition.

As expected, Lin Yao went running toward the orphanage.

While he was running, an idea popped into Lin Yao’s mind.

‘The children in this orphanage are already on the right track both in their life and in their studies. Although I have spent more than 80,000 yuan, the money was still well-spent. It is time to consider supporting other orphanages.

‘Well, I should find an orphanage that is facing difficulties.’

Lin Yao was not the main reason why the orphanage that he visited had gotten on the right track so quickly. In fact, the city and the country had already been taking care of most of their needs. Lin Yao was just helping out in minor areas that they needed help with. This was why he had been able to solve their problems with less than 100,000 yuan. Things would not be so easy for other orphanages that had financial difficulties, especially those that took care of abandoned children with disabilities. They would need more care and help.

‘After going back today, I will search for some information on this… However, I don’t have much money left. Even if I find a suitable orphanage, I will have to earn more money before helping.’

After arriving at the orphanage, he realized that everything was in order and the orphanage was running smoothly. All he needed to do was guide the children with their homework and play with them. When the orphanage closed for the day, Lin Yao got lost in thought while running back home. He was surprised that Yan Yan had been there today, and she had seemed unhappy.

‘It’s none of my business.’

While running back home, Lin Yao prayed that the requirements for exchanging the Bodhi Tree leaves would not be too demanding.

After arriving home, Lin Yao ate some food and washed up. He then sat at the computer desk, opened the talent forum of the Abnormal Ability Department, and checked the redemption requirement for the Bodhi Tree leaves in the resource library.

However, Lin Yao did not find anything despite searching through the entire library.

‘What’s the matter? Is it so precious? I can’t find a single leaf. Perhaps my level is too low?’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao looked at the personal interface at the top of the webpage.

[Lin Yao]

[Rating: Silver (Diamond Potential)]

[Website Browsing Authority: Level-C]

[Talent: Energy Absorption (No one can view this except for the person themselves and Level-A personnel)]

[State Subsidies: 10,000 yuan per month, 10 low-level nutrition drinks, 1 diamond technique, 1 gold combat skill, 1 opportunity to apply for gold resources.]

[Ninghai City Subsidies: 20,000 yuan per month, 20 low-level nutrition drinks, 1 gold combat skill (Ninghai City’s exclusive skill, already received), 1 opportunity to apply for gold resources (Ninghai City…)]

‘Isn’t a Level-C browsing authority enough? Are the Bodhi Tree leaves so precious?’

Lin Yao sighed, giving up on the idea of searching for Bodhi Tree leaves. Since they were so precious, Lin Yao felt that he would not be able to exchange anything for a leaf even if he found one.

‘Without the Bodhi Tree leaves, and given my comprehension ability, how will I be able to unlock the gene lock? This is the realm of genius.’

People with natural divine power and strong physique were very suitable to become martial artists. However, people without a strong physique could also become strong martial artists. This was possible if one was a wise man.

According to the information that Lin Yao found on the Internet, aside from physically strong people, geniuses had high mental strength, and the wiser one was, the easier it was for them to awaken.

A wise man had a better comprehension ability than a brash man. Although in the case of chivalrous hero Guo Jing[1], great wisdom had taken the form of folly, such cases were a minority. People with a good comprehension ability usually could understand most profound meanings. Di Qiang was a good example of this.

Lin Yao knew very well that he did not have an exceptionally high IQ. There was no way that he could suddenly realize the profound meaning like a genius.

This was why Lin Yao had thought of using the Bodhi Tree leaves to enhance his comprehension ability. However, it seemed that he had been left with no other option.

‘If I have poor understanding, is there no other way to master unlocking the gene lock? Isn’t there a simple method for dummies?’

Lin Yao lamented while sitting in front of the computer desk. He instinctively searched for the answer to the question he had in mind.

When he realized what he had been doing, he shook his head and got ready to close the webpage. ‘There can’t be such a good deal in the world. I’d better think about which technique I should choose… Wait, the answer is yes. Why are there so many likes below?’

It was no wonder that Lin Yao was surprised. He had been searching for the method to unlock the gene lock even without a good comprehension ability. This was sheer nonsense, but it had turned out that it was possible. In fact, there were so many likes that Lin Yao could not help but read on out of curiosity.

‘He is in the research institute, and the project team has just been disbanded. The plan for everyone to achieve stellar success has failed again. In fact, this was the most promising plan. It is such a pity.’
