Chapter 108: I Want to Be the Champion!

“Do I have to take into consideration the electric current development of the first level prior to that of the second level?”

“Of course, the first level develops the physical body, whereas the second level develops the brain… You didn’t fall into a coma this time, so you should be able to remember the crux of the electrical current stimulation on your entire body. When you go back, try to recall and test it out frequently. When you are able to release the power of thunder and lighting to stimulate your body without accelerating the thinking speed, you will have achieved the profound meaning of military boxing of martial artists.”

“Sigh. I didn’t expect to have to learn to walk after learning to run.”

“Alright, you have to admit you’ve already received a benefit. You’re already way better than others. Some people have to be electrocuted at least a dozen times to grasp the crux, and some have been electrocuted until their bodies formed a natural reflex. You are able to accelerate your thinking speed. As long as you unlock it a few more times, you’ll be able to form a habit.”

Professor Li very much wanted Lin Yao to continue the tests.

However, Lin Yao had been unconscious for quite a long time earlier. The school competition was about to commence, and he would be late if he were to delay any further.

Upon seeing this, the professor could only go to the school with Lin Yao.

However, when Lin Yao stepped out of the door, Professor Li suddenly thought of something. “Do you know something? Although mental training is different from physical training, they have some similarities.”

“So?”

“You can speed up your mind by nine seconds normally. This kind of extreme method can train your mind.”

The professor’s words made the corners of Lin Yao’s mouth twitch. The feeling of reaching his mental limit was quite unbearable. It was akin to cultivating to become an immortal for seven days and seven nights. His head felt like splitting just at the thought of this, but even so, Lin Yao nodded.

“I got it.”

The Brave Soul had made Lin Yao fearless.

However, he also had some doubts in his heart.

“Professor, is this the only way to increase the mental strength?”

“Of course not. Techniques such as meditation can also assist in cultivation. This falls into the ‘nurturing’ category, one of the four major classifications of martial arts—fighting, practicing, nurturing, and killing. I believe you still have the opportunity to apply for techniques. When you go back, you can search for a meditation technique that suits you in the Treasure Chamber.”

“Meditation technique? Thank you, Professor.”

Lin Yao headed to the school with the professor.

At the moment, he was not in very good condition. Although Lin Yao had slept for three to four hours, his body still felt a scorching sensation due to the electric current stimulation. He also felt somewhat exhausted mentally. According to Lin Yao’s estimation, he’d probably need to rest for a couple of days to recover completely.

Despite his terrible condition, Lin Yao still wanted to win this competition.

‘I have unlocked the gene lock. Plus, I have gained more than that.’

After accessing his attribute interface, Lin Yao looked at his attribute column. The realm had changed.

[Iron Person (14%)]

Yes, his body training realm had already reached 14%. The half an hour of electric shock had not been in vain. That electric current had stimulated Lin Yao’s body and accelerated its evolution. In just half an hour, his physical progress had increased by 7%, and this was not all. According to Lin Yao’s estimation, the remaining current had broken the shackles on his body. After a few days of training, his cultivation speed would increase tremendously.

In fact, even without training, Lin Yao would be able to increase his physical realm by another 3% in three days with the light adjustment of the Armored Body Of Light.

‘Undergoing in-depth electric shock for half an hour can increase my physical training progress by 10%. This is a good thing, but it also means that electric current stimulation will accompany me for life.

‘Sigh… Strength isn’t free.’

That said, Lin Yao didn’t have the slightest thought of giving up. He already had a great advantage. Ordinary people, even those with thunder talent, would count their blessings if they could undergo electrocution for five minutes each time. Lin Yao’s half an hour was not something that others would dare to consider. Blessed with such good fortune, Lin Yao would naturally strive to improve himself.

After entering the campus, he realized that the teams had already been assembled and the competition was about to begin.

At that moment, his cell phone rang.

“Where did you go? I’ve called you several times, but to no avail.” The instructor had called him. He was feeling anxious, as Lin Yao had not arrived, and the competition was commencing. “Hurry on over.”

“Got it, I’m already at the door.”

As he spoke, Lin Yao also strode toward the campus. However, he was stopped after taking just two steps.

To Lin Yao’s surprise, it was not the school’s security guard who had stopped him, but two members of the public—a man and a woman.

The woman was wearing a suit and looked like a beauty from the corporate world, whereas the man was carrying a camera on his shoulder. Their get-up made Lin Yao frown slightly.

‘Reporters? Did they come here for the school competition? Are they interviewing me because they discovered that I’ve played truant?’

At the thought of those students in the news, Lin Yao’s heart hurt. He did not hope to become famous, let alone become infamous for skipping school.

“Excuse me, I have to go to school.”

He wanted to leave the place quickly, but just as he moved, the beauty shouted, “Are you Student Lin Yao? I’m from Sky Star Media.”

“Aren’t you from an official media outlet? How do you know my name?”

“That’s right, Student Lin Yao. Sky Star Media does live streams. We’re here to invite you to sign a contract with us and become a streamer…”

Lin Yao was dumbfounded by the beauty’s words. Many thoughts had flashed across his mind when he had seen the camera, but he hadn’t expected that he would be invited to become a streamer one day.

While Lin Yao was feeling bewildered, he also declined immediately. “I’m sorry, I’m not interested. Goodbye.”

“Wait a minute. You can listen to the terms and conditions…”

After refusing thrice, Lin Yao could no longer be bothered to pay attention to the shouts of the beauty behind him. He ran toward the arena as fast as he could.

The beauty was furious at Lin Yao’s indifferent attitude. At the thought of her own future and Lin Yao’s dashing good looks, she chased him and caught up to Lin Yao.

“Student Lin Yao, you have what it takes. With a little bit of packaging, you can become a top streamer or even use this channel to elevate yourself to a celebrity. Sky Star Media has enough resources to make you succeed…”

Her continuous chatter did not affect Lin Yao in the slightest.

“Security guard, there are people harassing students here.”

Upon seeing the brawny man approaching from a distance, the woman could only stop speaking. However, she did not give up and handed Lin Yao a business card.

“Student Lin Yao, this is my business card. If you change your mind, you can call me.”

Lin Yao took it casually and then walked away for good.

…

After Lin Yao disappeared, two members of the public were stopped by the security guards. After some hustle and bustle, they were cleared of any suspicions. However, Lin Yao’s absolute refusal had also displeased the man holding the camera. “That boy is too arrogant. Are we still going to sign a contract with him?”

“Of course, don’t you find his arrogant demeanor handsome too?!”

The woman who said this looked as if she was boy crazy, and this made the cameraman feel dumbfounded.

“Manager, we are working. We need to consider his capability. If he’s just good-looking…”

“Having good looks will do.”

Upon looking at the cameraman’s dumbfounded face, the beauty smiled.

As a member of senior management, she was naturally not truly boy crazy.

The manager would be rewarded when she signed a contract with someone. The girl called ‘Meat Bun’ by her fans, who had been filming during the last school battle, was also one of the people she had signed a contract with. After watching the girl’s video, the manager had been instantly attracted by Lin Yao’s face and had seen a business opportunity.

“We’ll make it big just with this face. Plus, he looks better in person. I, Ye Qing, am bent on signing a contract with this guy.”

Unaware that the manager had silently made up her mind, Lin Yao quickly got together with the other members of his class after shrugging off the two people.

“Yao Zi, why are you so late?”

“I’m fine.”

“Do you look like you’re fine? Today’s battle concerns the resources that you’ll get. Do you know that the strong get stronger? The more resources they get, the faster they’ll grow. If you are not diligent, how are you going to compete with them next time?”

The instructor was the one doing the talking. He had expected better from Lin Yao and was cross upon seeing the tired look on Lin Yao’s face.

Lin Yao could sense his good intentions even without using the Good and Evil Distinguishment ability. However, when he saw his concern, he could only say, “Don’t worry, Instructor. There won’t be any problems this time. Count on me to clinch the top place for you.”

“Given your current condition, It’ll be fairly good if you don’t place eighth.”

“Can the quarter-final players please get in the arena?”

While the two of them were talking, they heard the principal speaking from the platform. Upon seeing this, Lin Yao yawned and stepped into the arena.

Everyone in the arena was familiar with Lin Yao. The seeded player ranking list was correct. Most of the remaining players were on the list of the top eight predicted players.

Many people had seen and resonated with the seeded player ranking list. At the moment, most of the players on the platform were observing other players who had ranked similarly to them and contemplating how to win. Lin Yao was the only one who was looking at Di Qiang.

‘This time, I want to be the champion.’
