Chapter 258: Nobody Has a Better Comprehension Ability Than Me

Both the Heaven and Earth Furnace or Heaven and Earth Manifestation were techniques beyond the king level. In fact, they were in a higher league—two or three levels above the king level. If Lin Yao could cultivate these two fundamental techniques successfully and come up with simplified versions of them, this would suffice to help the elders break through to the king level.

There was now hope after decades of despair. It was no wonder Elder Wei felt that emotional.

Although Lin Yao had not figured out the techniques completely, he had discovered something from the many castrated techniques in the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

Those castration techniques were extremely difficult to cultivate and had very vague descriptions. This only went to show the dojo’s current predicament.

Lin Yao, who was aware of this, didn’t stand on ceremony. He simply approached Elder Wei to find out about the research done by the dojo’s higher-ups on these two fundamental techniques, especially Heaven and Earth Manifestation and the Heaven and Earth Brilliant Tyrannic Punch. He planned to understand more about Heaven and Earth Manifestation and make it his gold foundation when he reached the silver level. Even if it was not the complete version, he could simplify it.

‘If the Heaven and Earth Manifestation doesn’t work, I’ll come up with another ability!’

Like the higher-ups of the Heaven and Earth Dojo, Lin Yao’s martial ability might reach a bottleneck at a certain level. However, with the Bodhi Tree giving him confidence, he wasn’t concerned at all.

”We… are different!”

‘If I can advance the Bodhi Tree to the king level, no one will have a better comprehension ability than me!’

As the situation of the Heaven and Earth Dojo had completely exceeded Lin Yao’s expectations, his remaining schedule for the day deviated greatly from the original plan.

His original plan had been to practice combat skills under Elder Wei’s guidance. However, after finding out that most of the high-level techniques had been castrated, Lin Yao didn’t rush into learning. Instead, he gathered and reviewed the research done by the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

The two fundamental techniques (Heaven and Earth Furnace, Heaven and Earth Visualization) and the three special combat skills (Heaven and Earth Brilliant Tyrannic Punch, Heaven and Earth Domain, Heaven and Mankind Interaction) had been researched by the higher-ups of the Heaven and Earth Dojo for decades. What made Lin Yao’s head hurt was that there were mountains of research materials to read and he wouldn’t be able to finish them in a short time.

Upon seeing Lin Yao’s expression, Elder Wei felt even more worried. He was his hope. If Lin Yao decided to give this up because it was too cumbersome, he would be dead meat.

“Student Lin Yao, you don’t need to finish reading all these materials. You can just review the materials of the past two or three years. They are the latest research information.”

“Thank you. Can I bring them home?”

Gritting his teeth, Elder Wei nodded and said, “Yes.”

Although the practitioners of the Heaven and Earth Dojo were unable to break through to the king level, these research materials were invaluable. The Heaven and Earth Brilliant Tyrannic Punch, the Heaven and Earth Domain, and Heaven and Mankind Interaction were remarkable skills, and anyone who could cultivate them successfully would be able to fight someone of a higher level. In this regard, these materials were fairly priceless. If anyone else wanted them, Elder Wei would have killed them with one palm strike.

However, the situation was different when it came to Lin Yao. Lin Yao was not the one begging for the techniques of the Heaven and Earth Dojo now. After witnessing Lin Yao’s talent, Elder Wei was afraid that Lin Yao would change his mind and practice other techniques.

Undoubtedly, many people, including people from the heavenly king dojos, were willing to let Lin Yao cultivate their direct disciple techniques. Each time they nurtured a king successfully, the heavenly kings would become more powerful. In particular, Lin Yao had the potential to form a legion in the future and would have a very high status. Most people would be willing to use their techniques in exchange for future favors from him. This was like an oath of allegiance.

Amid his fear and panic, Elder Wei immediately agreed to Lin Yao’s request without even discussing it with the dojo master.

Thankfully, Lin Yao was not that inconsiderate. After obtaining the information, he and Elder Wei made a non-disclosure pact.

Then, Lin Yao studied the materials in the Heaven and Earth Dojo. This reading session lasted a few hours, until it was time to leave for the university to undergo physical development. While traveling by car, Lin Yao was also reading the books.

‘Sigh. There is so much to study. Even if I take the Moon Essence potion, I can only develop my brain once today.’

Nevertheless, Lin Yao felt that it was worth it, as he would become really powerful if he cultivated these techniques successfully.

‘As long as I successfully cultivate Heaven and Earth Manifestation, with this combat skill… Wrong, with this invincible skill… I’ll be able to fight someone of a higher level, even a king-level genius.’

He was merely reading other people’s materials and did not have to focus on researching. Therefore, although Lin Yao was exhausted, he also managed to gain some understanding of the Heaven and Earth Furnace and Heaven and Earth Manifestation after several hours of consecutive reading.

Lin Yao only gained a brief understanding of these two techniques because he knew that one should not bite off more than one could chew.

‘I’ll focus on these two techniques before I reach the gold level… No, I’ll just focus on Heaven and Earth Manifestation and advance to a gold warlord first.’

Lin Yao felt somewhat dizzy from the excessive thinking and studying. Upon entering the university, he had even become indifferent to Senior Song Ji’s envious, you-are-here-again expression, nor did he notice that an old acquaintance of his had come to the institute.

After gulping down a bottle of Moon Essence to relax his brain from the exhaustion of reading, Lin Yao plopped on the electric chair. He then gestured to Senior Song Ji to carry out the dual development of his body and brain.

“Junior Brother, are you ready? We’re starting.”

“Yes.”

“Turn on the switch.”

Due to Lin Yao’s Electricity-Absorbing Physique and resistance to electricity, which was a result of the long-term electrical stimulation of his body, he didn’t feel uncomfortable during the initial electric shock. He was even in the mood to ponder how long he could persist.

‘After the transformation of the Armored Body Of Light to the Body of Sun, although my talent level has been reduced to LV1, the amount of light energy that my body can store has also increased. I can definitely last longer in the afternoon than in the morning. It may even be more than an hour.’

Lin Yao had not forgotten that, in addition to the increase in energy, the epiphany in the Heaven and Earth Dojo had also evolved his sun pattern into the Great Sun God Pattern. This god pattern was akin to the Thunderbolt Mark and was related to the power of law. This would reduce the consumption rate of Lin Yao’s power of light by 30% and increase its prowess by 30%.

His healing power had also increased. Thanks to all of this, Lin Yao’s development duration had been extended by as much as 60%.

‘The Thunderbolt Mark and the Great Sun God Pattern might not seem strong, but with the 30% increase in prowess and the 30% decrease in consumption alone, my combat power has increased by 50%. The power of the law is really terrifying.’

Being able to withstand a longer duration of electric shock was good news. As the body became resistant to electric current, it would not hurt that much during the initial phase of the development. Therefore, Lin Yao actually felt bored during the initial phase of the development.

‘I can watch some movies next time to pass the time.’

As this nonsensical thought flashed in his mind, Lin Yao didn’t idle. He refreshed his memory on the materials he had read in the afternoon and pondered the various research conducted by the Heaven and Earth Dojo on the Heaven and Earth Furnace and Heaven and Earth Manifestation.

He was recalling the information and receiving electric shock at the same time. Suddenly, Lin Yao felt his mind light up, as if the sun had broken through the fog, making him feel enlightened. The Light-Bulb Moment had been triggered.

This time, what had triggered the Light-Bulb Moment was the Heaven and Earth Furnace that he had been contemplating.

‘The Heaven and Earth Furnace is very abstract. Heaven and earth were a furnace with the Creator as a tool, the yin and yang as fuel, and a myriad of things as metal. According to this formula, the Heaven and Earth Dojo has barely resolved the first sentence. They could use the spirit-energy-gathering array to gather spirit energy and then transform them into a furnace or forge a real furnace and fill it with countless precious medicines and herbs as the foundation.

‘Regardless of whether these methods are right or wrong, at the very least, the Heaven and Earth Dojo has some clues. However, they encountered difficulties with the subsequent words ‘with the Creator as a tool and the yin and yang as fuel’.

‘The yin and yang and the Creator are not things that they can get their hands on. Initially, I couldn’t do that either. I can’t obtain pure yin and yang qi, but a certain item contains these two qis!’
