Chapter 235: What Are Heaven and Earth
Yin Yin and Yin Meng, who had experienced the horror of disaster, never wanted to experience that nightmarish day again, nor did they want to feel that desperate and helpless once more. Thus, they felt the most reliant on Lin Yao and couldn’t tolerate others insulting him.
While they were deeply moved by Lin Yao, Jin Cheng and the group had to provoke Lin Yao repeatedly. This had naturally antagonized Yin Yin and Yin Meng, making them say those words of reproach earlier.
The youngsters with Qin Ya were also infuriated. Their feelings for Qin Ya resembled those of the ladies for Lin Yao. They couldn’t endure others insulting Qin Ya either.
However, they didn’t utter a word despite pointing their fingers at Yin Yin and Yin Meng.
None of the people present was an idiot. Jin Cheng and the group hadn’t thought of this initially because of jealousy. Now that someone had reminded them, they realized something. It was impossible for a woman from a rich and powerful family in a small city to have any connection to the chief instructor of the Heaven and Earth Dojo in Shanghai, even though she was the daughter borne by the first wife.
Indeed, it was due to Lin Yao’s talent that Qin Ya had been able to contact that bigshot.
In an ordinary city with tens of millions of people, it would take several years to produce a diamond genius. This was despite the huge population. Therefore, such a genius was no joke.
The words of the two ladies infuriated Jin Cheng and the others. Qin Ya’s expression also turned cold, but she quickly calmed down. “What Miss Yin said is true. I’ve benefited by expanding my connections a little with the help of Mr. Lin Yao…”
“Alright. That’s enough. This is just mutual help.”
Glancing at the twins behind him, Lin Yao could sense that they cared about him and made such remarks because they didn’t want him to be humiliated by others. Therefore, Lin Yao found it hard to reprimand them.
He ruffled the petite heads of the two ladies to simmer down their anger. Lin Yao then looked at Qin Ya. “Thank you, I remember everything that you have done. Yin Yin was impolite earlier. I apologize to you on her behalf.”
After he said that, Lin Yao also looked at Jin Cheng and the several people next to him. This was meant to remind him that they were now even, as someone had also hurled insults at him earlier.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ya was silent for a moment before a smile bloomed on her face again. “Mr. Lin Yao is too polite… Let’s head to the Heaven and Earth Dojo.”
“Yes.”
Nodding, Lin Yao was ready to follow Qin Ya.
As the tension between Lin Yao and Qin Ya eased, Qin Xue heaved a sigh of relief. One was her cousin, and the other was her classmate. She was in a difficult position, as she felt caught in the middle.
Out of the four assistants, while the gentle Qin Xue felt relaxed, Yan Yu’er, who was next to her, looked at the young twins. Instead of criticizing them for their words, Lin Yao had ruffled their heads. At the sight of this, some thoughts flashed across her mind.
‘Although we are not strong enough, we spare a thought for Ah Yao wholeheartedly. Loyalty and ability…’
Unaware of the complicated situation behind him, Lin Yao, who was walking ahead, seemed to sense something after taking a few steps. He then halted in his tracks abruptly.
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong?”
Lin Yao’s action made Qin Ya follow suit. In response to her question, Lin Yao chuckled lightly. “It seems like we don’t need to go anymore.”
“Mr. Lin Yao, even if we don’t agree to the terms, it’ll still be good to meet that powerhouse…”
Fearing that Lin Yao would become arrogant again and would be reluctant to meet that chief instructor, Qin Ya also became anxious.
Fortunately, Lin Yao was not that stupid.
“Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I don’t want to meet him. It’s because that bigshot is here.”
His 3D image had transmitted something to him. What made Lin Yao’s eyes narrow was that the person he’d perceived was not a tiny dot on the 3D image but a massive magnetic field that affected the surrounding area within a radius of tens of kilometers.
Lin Yao’s electromagnetic induction could only accept electromagnetic waves within a radius of about two kilometers. At that moment, he felt a distorted magnetic field with a radius of tens of kilometers. This didn’t seem right but was, in fact, normal.
For example, human sight could only see objects that were tens of meters away clearly. Although they could also see something tens of kilometers away, the images would be blurry. This fact notwithstanding, the distance between the sun and the earth is 1.496*10^8 kilometers, yet humans can still see the sun.
The reason for this is naturally that the sun is enormous and the radiance it emits is too strong.
The same applied to Lin Yao’s Electromagnetic Induction. He could clearly see images within a distance of two kilometers, but he could also faintly perceive things beyond a distance of two kilometers. The tyrannical presence heading toward him was too powerful. He had induced a massive magnetic field. Although he was still some distance away, Lin Yao discovered his existence due to the turbulence in the magnetic field.
In fact, while he was approaching, the two-kilometer induced magnetic field had become somewhat fuzzy, as if there was a power failure.
‘Such terrifying strength. It’s almost the same as the king yesterday… No, the energy of the king yesterday was more restrained. The magnetic field surrounding him is disrupted because he is too powerful, but the magnetic field around this elder is spreading from inside of him. He has the ability to actively induce a magnetic field.’
Agile Mind enabled Lin Yao to perceive some changes in the magnetic field. As the magnetic field surrounding the other party was too strong, Lin Yao was unable to perceive the inner core. However, he soon determined his reason for coming. This was because of the Light-Bulb Moment.
This time, it was not due to luck. After sensing the magnetic field of the visitor, Lin Yao almost freaked out. He lifted the brain domain limiter on the spot, accelerating his thinking and increasing his arithmetic power.
As everyone knew, the Light-Bulb Moment wouldn’t appear out of thin air. It required the accumulation of a lot of knowledge. At the same time, its function made Lin Yao’s mind active so that it could enter the state of a sage.
This was different from the thinking speed acceleration obtained after the brain domain limiter had been removed. Thinking speed acceleration would increase the arithmetic ability and make it comparable to that of a calculator, whereas the Light-Bulb Moment would enhance the comprehension ability, which resembled the insight of artists and scientists.
The two were different but greatly associated with each other. They could be regarded as the two sides of wisdom. This kind of entanglement complimented them both. After Lin Yao activated thinking speed acceleration, the probability of him entering the Light-Bulb Moment was not 3% but 30%.
‘Such terrifying strength. It’s the same as yesterday’s… He has the ability to induce magnetic fields actively.
‘This ability is similar to my Electromagnetic Induction. Can I learn it?’
This was the normal thinking process. Following that was the Light-Bulb Moment, which made Lin Yao recall Qin Ya’s words and then arrive at the following conjecture.
‘I’m about to go and meet the chief instructor of the Heaven and Earth Dojo. According to the reaction of Jin Cheng and the rest of them, the chief instructor is a prominent bigshot, so he is not teaching at the dojo because he’s a manager who relies purely on intelligence and strategy. He must possess great powers.
‘The person coming here is very powerful and is coming for me. The magnetic field around him is also vaguely entangled with heaven and earth. Is this a technique of the Heaven and Earth Dojo? The chief instructor of the Heaven and Earth Dojo of the Shanghai branch is here.’
This was the deduction of Lin Yao’s thinking speed acceleration and the Light-Bulb Moment. Lin Yao had only stopped for one second, yet so many thoughts had gone through his mind. In fact, that was not all.
‘He must think very highly of me to come here personally. Is it because of the magnetic field?
‘No, I didn’t demonstrate or publicize my magnetic field, nor did I take the initiative to put them on an official record. My record only has general information about my thunder and light talent. He couldn’t have detected this based on my information.
‘Heaven and Earth Dojo, heaven and earth… Qin Ya told me that the Heaven and Earth Dojo’s core practice involves drawing the spirit energy of heaven and earth into the body to refine oneself to the extreme, but this is probably not comprehensive. Since ancient times, those who can connect heaven and earth not only have extraordinary abilities but also… This means… He can predict the future.
‘The Celestial Secret. If I guessed right, he has the Celestial Secret ability and he came to find me because he has foretold something.’
A sage in ancient times could foresee future happenings with a straw in the wind. After Lin Yao entered thinking speed acceleration and activated the Light-Bulb Moment, his wisdom also surged. In a very short time, he had understood everything.
Of course, these were merely his conjectures, but Lin Yao felt that the probability of this being true was greater than 80%.
As Lin Yao was in the state of accelerated thinking, the elder who was flying toward him also sensed Lin Yao’s magnetic field. This stunned him for a moment.
‘Magnetic induction. Was this what my Celestial Secret perceived earlier? Impossible. Although this ability is rare, there are at least hundreds of geniuses with this talent in the world.’
Even though there were some doubts and disappointment in his heart, he was already on his way. Therefore, he didn’t leave. Instead, he continued to fly in the direction of Lin Yao.
“Yu’er, prepare some tea. The best one.”
Lin Yao had initially had an indifferent attitude toward this dojo before meeting them, but the situation was different now. The abilities of the other party were not only extraordinary but they also suited him well. There was nothing wrong with him paying great attention to it.
Upon seeing Yan Yu’er quickly adhering to Lin Yao’s instructions and preparing tea, Jin Cheng and the others faced each other. They believed that Lin Yao could sense outsiders approaching him. Geniuses had various kinds of talent, so this was not strange.
However, no matter what, they didn’t believe that the chief instructor of the Heaven and Earth Dojo in Shanghai had come.
Although they didn’t dare voice this in front of Qin Ya, everyone had certain thoughts in their mind after exchanging a few glances with each other.
‘Although this is not the headquarters of the Heaven and Earth Dojo, Shanghai is the richest place. The person stationed at the Heaven and Earth Dojo here is one of the strongest members of the dojo. I heard that he is already a titled warlord. Had it not been for the injury he suffered in the early years, he would have become a king. Why would he come?’
‘A close-to-king existence coming in person to meet a warlord? What a joke!’
‘Lin Yao is just trying to impress people… Furthermore, we are already on our way. If he really wanted to meet him, couldn’t he wait 10 minutes? How could he possibly have come here!”
