I Have A Divine Tree In My Heart

Chapter 62: Studying Gene Mastery for the First Time

“Roar…”

One by one, energetic and furious roars came from Lin Yao’s mouth, causing the surrounding dust to fly everywhere.

After he screamed furiously hundreds of times, Lin Yao’s throat felt a bit hoarse (someone with a Human Body Limit of 100% would have surpassed Mike Tyson).

However, after furiously hollering, Lin Yao felt that he had practiced fairly well and had reached the minimum standard for Deafening Thunder Roar.

‘It’s because of the military boxing’s breathing method. The military boxing training is very comprehensive. I have already trained my throat, lungs, and chest, so I can practice the skill now.’

Unlike other masculine sonic attack abilities like the Buddha’s lion’s roar, which required special techniques such as shouting and creating sound waves, Deafening Thunder Roar needed thunder vital energy seeds the most.

When one possessed thunder seeds, it would be very easy to practice the skill.

Phew…

First, he took a deep breath. Then, Lin Yao unleashed the thunder vital energy seed. When the seed was about to explode, he would roar with all his might.

“Roar…”

The roar was fairly good, but it was not as booming as a thunderbolt. Lin Yao had failed in this experiment.

As a result of this failure, he was unwell. Ravaging thunder and lightning scurried all over Lin Yao’s chest, making him collapse on the ground with a painful, burning sensation in his chest and abdomen.

“Ouch… It hurts badly.”

In fact, normal cultivation practice wouldn’t be that painful. After all, the thunder vital energy seeds had Lin Yao’s mark and could be smoothly absorbed by his body.

Normally, Lin Yao could activate thunder vital energy seeds in order to combine thunder and lightning with spirit energy and then spread them throughout his body. This would increase his strength tremendously.

However, he had just been electrocuted and his body had not fully recovered. He was too sensitive to the power of thunder currently and thus found it hard to endure the pain and suffering.

After rolling on the ground for some time, he could barely stand up. He clutched his aching chest and sighed.

‘Armored Body of Light! Buddy, I fortunately have you. Otherwise, I’d have to lie down for a long time.’

As far as the healing power of light was concerned, he could not have asked for more. After a short while, Lin Yao could finally stand up with some difficulty.

However, he was slightly reluctant to continue training after his body recovered. The earlier failure had been too painful.

Still, the thought of giving up merely persisted in his mind for two seconds before he abandoned it completely.

‘If I can’t even bear this small amount of pain, will I dare to come here in 10 days?’

This forced rhetorical question made Lin Yao face himself square in the face.

‘I can’t give up. I must not give up. I can bear this small amount of pain!’

Lin Yao endured the pain and got to his feet. He then continued to practice the Deafening Thunder Roar.

He didn’t dare to slack off, for fear that he would make countless excuses for himself if he were to speak.

This time, Lin Yao was not impatient during his practice. He focused wholeheartedly on observing his mind and body. He also tried his best to manipulate the vital energy seeds and then simulate in his mind the scene of unleashing and spitting the vital energy seeds.

In order to train successfully at one go and not be tortured by the revolting electric current again, Lin Yao carefully manipulated all his strength. This kind of focus was akin to fighting the BOSS in a game while one had very little mana left.

However, as he focused wholly on simulating the thunder and lightning explosion and the exploded electric current spitting from his throat, Lin Yao somehow recalled the scene of the electric current stimulation. Every image that came to his mind was about the electric current stimulating his throat.

Although several hours had already passed, this painful memory had been engraved in Lin Yao’s body and mind. Upon feeling this sudden sensation, Lin Yao’s body trembled as though it had been electrocuted. Lin Yao’s hair stood on end as he trembled, and his mind could no longer simulate the Deafening Thunder Roar. He was consumed by pain and suffering instead.

Phew. Phew. Phew.

The painful memory and his trembling body caused Lin Yao’s breathing to become rapid. After a long while, he finally forgot the recalled memories of this pain.

Then, Lin Yao gritted his teeth and attempted to simulate the activation process of the Deafening Thunder Roar again.

There were three difficulties to learning the Deafening Thunder Roar. First, he would need the thunder seed. Second, he would need to brew the vital energy seed in his chest for the explosion.

The third difficulty was the hardest for Lin Yao. He had to transport the thunder seed, which was about to explode, from the chest to the throat through the trachea. The final roaring step was, in fact, easy.

‘I have thunder seeds, and it’s also not difficult to brew one and make it explode. The only difficulty is transporting the thunder seeds that are about to explode to the throat.’

Lin Yao had failed to do this during his last try. This time, he didn’t expect to succeed at one go either.

However, for some reason, when he finished the simulation and was ready to perform the actual Deafening Thunder Roar, it was quite easy to transport the about-to-explode vital energy seed to the throat through the trachea.

‘What is happening?’

The sudden distraction caused Lin Yao’s thunder seed to explode again. This time, it exploded near the throat and Lin Yao felt even more pain. He didn’t even dare move haphazardly when he breathed.

“Ss… Ah… It hurts!”

He covered his neck with one hand and smashed the ground with the other. After a long while, the pain in Lin Yao’s throat finally dissipated.

‘Damn it! This pain is comparable to the pain I experienced during the electric shock, although it is only in the throat.’

When he thought of the electric shock, the electrocution and throbbing sensations re-emerged in Lin Yao’s mind. Amid his body’s stressed response, Lin Yao inexplicably recalled the feeling of the electric current running in his throat.

The feeling of the electric current would not have any effect on someone else, but Lin Yao had already mastered thunder and lightning. While the unforgettable memories made Lin Yao feel a little frightened, he had also become familiar with the feeling of the electric current running in his throat and he understood the specific process.

This also made Lin Yao realize something.

‘I was able to manipulate the about-to-explode vital energy seed earlier and make it reach the throat from the chest and abdomen without any trouble. This is the effect of Professor Li’s electric shock development. The electric current stimulation has been studied and researched by national scientists and martial arts experts for over a decade. They have calculated the most suitable and effective electric current stimulation for the development of the human body. If I’m able to ingrain the memories in my mind and then simulate the process of the electric current running in the body, I’ll be able to control my entire body without any problems. I could even remove the shackles from my body and make it unleash extraordinary power.

‘It turns out that this is thunder gene mastery.’

After he figured out all this, Lin Yao’s face looked somewhat miserable.

‘Therefore, I have to disregard that kind of pain if I truly want to learn to unlock the gene lock. In addition, I have to perceive it carefully and also get used to it? So the best way to deal with fear is to face it?

‘Damn it! I knew that shortcuts are never easy.’

After complaining once, Lin Yao no longer had any more words of resentment.

He knew very well that he should be grateful for being given a shortcut. Some people did not even have the chance even though they wanted it.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yao sat under the sun and consumed a bottle of nutrient drink. He had stopped practicing. Instead, he closed his eyes and tried to recall the feeling of the electric current running in his body during the electric shock development.

This feeling was mingled with pain. When Lin Yao recalled it, his body also ached faintly.

His whole body trembled, and his head was cold yet also sweaty.

Phew. Phew. Phew.

After three minutes, Lin Yao suddenly opened his eyes. He was breathing rapidly and he seemed to be short of breath.

His head was covered in cold sweat, his breathing was rapid, and his entire body was trembling. His body was lying on the ground. Although Lin Yao’s body was glowing, his current posture was not heroic.

Nevertheless, a group of people from the research institute had witnessed his situation. Instead of ridiculing Lin Yao, they were filled with reverence and admiration for him deep in their hearts.

As researchers, they had not gone through this, but they were aware of how horrifying the electric shock was. It was torture of the entire body, even for someone with a Human Body Limit of 100%.

In the face of such pain and suffering, some people would become amnestic, and their brains would automatically forget the pain.

Even if they were to endure it with all their might, most people would not dare to face it. It would often require them to go through a lot of psychological counseling.

Now, without the help of other people and after being tortured for a few hours, Lin Yao actually took the initiative to perceive the pain. This kind of willpower naturally earned the respect and admiration of the researchers.

Lin Yao’s trembling state was not only seen by the researchers but also by Senior Sister Jiang from the University of Monster Science and Technology and Professor Li from the research institute.

“This junior brother… Sigh. He can actually rest a while longer.”

That said, Senior Sister Jiang did not care about Lin Yao only due to his appearance but also because he was a resilient warrior. This made her even more fond of him.

“Wait? He is too arrogant to do that.”
