Chapter 112  : The Bodhi Leaf Clue

“Are you kidding me?”

Many people were dumbfounded upon hearing this remark.

“What would be the use of fooling you?”

“Are you still trying to deny it? Forbidden unleashing? Seriously injured? Look at Student Lin Yao. Does he look like he is seriously injured?”

While speaking, the doctors showed the data displayed on the equipment to a group of leaders.

Of course, many of the people there could not understand it. However, they quickly understood what was happening thanks to the explanations of the doctors.

According to the report generated by the equipment, Lin Yao’s injuries could not even be considered minor injuries.

“What are you talking about? Not even minor injuries?”

“It’s merely a muscle strain, and there’s no injury to the internal organs?! It’s impossible. I saw his explosive energy with my own eyes.”

“His condition is improving that fast!? The equipment is definitely wrong. Please perform another test!”

The leaders who had seen Lin Yao unleash extreme combat power could not accept this absurd reality.

The doctors followed their instructions and put Lin Yao through another round of tests. However, when they saw the reprinted test report, all the leaders were at a loss.

“It shouldn’t be like this.”

“Isn’t the profound meaning of exceeding one’s own limit a forbidden method? Why is there nothing wrong with him after he used the forbidden ability twice in a row?”

Everyone in the room was amazed by Lin Yao’s state. Although most of the coaches in Ninghai No. 4 High School were ordinary warlords, they were still aware of what was going on, as they were living in the age of the internet.

These coaches had learned from the Internet that profound meanings were powerful. One of the reasons a profound meaning was called a killer move was that it was very powerful. Another reason was that it consumed a lot of energy and put a lot of pressure on the body. Therefore, it could only be used as a hidden trump card.

Even powerhouses did not dare use profound meanings at will. Profound meanings like unlocking the shackles of the body or the Heavenly Demon Dissolution Method were even more desperate moves. Each time one used them, the user would sustain serious injuries and drain a lot of energy. One might even be maimed.

Lin Yao had shattered the Vajra Palm with a single sword and gone on to defeat Di Qiang with another kick. In the eyes of these powerhouses, this was very draining to the body.

“Di Qiang gathered all his strength and released the Vajra Palm in the match earlier. Even if Lin Yao had gathered all his strength as well, he should not have been able to beat him. He not only smashed the Vajra Palm, but he also unleashed his ultimate combat ability to defeat Di Qiang with a powerful kick. It is scientifically impossible that he did not sustain even a slight injury.”

Many people were dumbfounded, but Lin Yao felt that this was very understandable.

If a low-level ordinary person had unleashed such combat power, they would definitely have been maimed.

However, Lin Yao was different. He was an Iron Person who had an Armored Body Of Light at the silver level to protect him. This talent had nearly doubled Lin Yao’s physical strength and ability to withstand challenging situations.

Breaking the body’s shackles and allowing oneself to unleash 200% of one’s combat power might be unbearable for ordinary people. However, this was not Lin Yao’s limit. In fact, he could not be injured by a simple explosion of power.

The reason he had spurted blood all over his body was because he had unleashed his power for the second time shortly after fighting against the Vajra Palm. The main reason was also the fact that Di Qiang was a powerhouse.

However, even though his injuries might seem serious, he had just suffered a capillary rupture.

Lin Yao had the Armored Body Of Light, so such an injury would recover within an hour.

During his journey there, the energy in the Sun God Pattern on his chest had flowed into his body, healing his wounds.

“Therefore, like I’ve said, I’m really fine.”

With the doctors’ confirmation, Lin Yao was finally allowed to stand up from the bed. He jumped twice to prove that he was okay. At this point, the doctors and the school’s senior management finally agreed that Lin Yao was alright.

“There are no serious injuries after two consecutive explosions of power. Student Lin Yao, your body is awesome.”

“Thank you for the compliment…”

Most of them were happy to learn that Lin Yao was alright. However, Di Qiang, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked stunned at the sight of Lin Yao, who was alive and kicking.

“How is this possible? Does it mean that you can triple the power of the double gene lock and use it as a common skill?!”

“That’s right.”

Lin Yao shrugged at Di Qiang. This made Di Qiang even more envious of him.

He had full-body control, so he knew how powerful this profound meaning was and could sense that his physical body had a lot of power that had yet to be unleashed. However, he had never dared to cross the line. This was because he knew that it would be very difficult to recover after the power was unleashed.

However, right now, a monster had appeared. Lin Yao could break his body shackles at will without having to worry about future troubles. His combat power had soared several times in one go.

Di Qiang was not the only person to think of that. The school leaders also brightened up after confirming that Lin Yao had powerful abilities.

“Student Lin Yao, you must let us know if you have any requirements.”

“Good boy, you deserve the best.”

Lin Yao could not help but feel put off by the enthusiastic reactions of the school leaders. However, he could sense through the Good and Evil Distinguishment ability that they harbored no malice toward him.

‘It is fine that they have no malice. However, they’re still being too dramatic by heaping praise on me. Will they try to get me to do something for them?’

Lin Yao had never thought that humans were kind by nature. He wondered what was their intention. In the meantime, he did not stand on ceremony and told them what he wanted.

“My comprehensive ability is somewhat lacking. Do any of you have any information about the Bodhi Seed?”

As soon as he said this, silence ensued. Following that, someone said, “Principal, I still have something to do. I will leave first.”

“I have to wrap things up at the arena.”

Most of them left after his remark. Lin Yao nodded, feeling satisfied with this situation.

‘Even if you have something to ask of me, you won’t be able to say it now.’

Lin Yao was not surprised that most of the people had left. However, the principal was still in the room. He smiled and said, “I don’t have a Bodhi Seed, but I have a Bodhi Leaf. Do you want it?”

Lin Yao, who did not have high hopes, had just been messing with them. He nodded immediately upon hearing his words.

“Yes. Is the principal willing to give it to me?”

Seeing that Lin Yao had nodded enthusiastically, the principal continued.

“One has to have a gold resource exchange opportunity to get a Bodhi Leaf… Giving it to you for free… is naturally not possible.”

“Uh…”

“However, you stand a chance.”

Lin Yao, who had originally thought that he would have to use his gold resource exchange opportunity to get what he wanted, widened his eyes in joy.

This time, the principal no longer teased Lin Yao. Instead, he stated his request.

“You should know why we started the arena competition.”

“Yes. The score will count toward the monthly exams. However, the main reason is that the city will hold a competition. This is a preview.”

“That’s right, this is indeed a preview.” After pausing briefly, he continued. “It has been stated that only young people are allowed to participate in the competition held in the city. This is done to select geniuses from the competition and provide resources for their training. In China, all the children of this age group are in school. This competition is said to be a youth competition. In fact, it is a ranking of high schools in the city. The city will allocate more resources to the school that gets the highest ranking.”

“Do you want me to rank first for the school?”

At this point, it was very clear what the old principal wanted from Lin Yao.

However, when he said this, the old principal rolled his eyes.

“First of all, you are indeed very daring.” He patted Lin Yao’s shoulder hard before he said, “There are truly geniuses in Ninghai City. However, all these geniuses and children from rich and powerful families are in No.1 High School in the city. They have the best professors, the largest number of precious resources, and the support of their families. Some of them are even elite warlords. How could you be capable of fighting against them to clinch the first place?”

Upon seeing that Lin Yao had stopped talking, the principal continued.

“I want you to compete with the other two schools. As long as you help the school rank second before graduation, I will give the Bodhi Leaf as a reward to the person who has contributed the most to this competition.”

Lin Yao’s eyes lit up at his words.

Although he was eligible to get the Bodhi Leaf, the Bodhi Leaf in the military achievements system was always out of stock, and it was best to get whatever he wanted for free.

‘It seems possible to help the school rank second based on its score.’

While thinking about the score, Lin Yao took a bath in the hospital and then went to class.

Although he could not learn anything in class, he was used to spending his time there after all. Since he would report to the top class tomorrow, he wanted to say goodbye to his group of acquaintances.

…

Once Lin Yao left, the middle-aged woman who had been standing next to the old principal asked in confusion, “Principal Xiao, the Bodhi Leaf is your personal resource, so is it alright to give it to him?”

“Why not? I’m old. It will be a waste if I keep the treasure. It would be better to hand it over to a young person like him.”

“But you said the exact same words to Student Tu Ying and Student Zhang Feng.”

“Ha ha… What does that matter? I have already said that I’ll give the Bodhi Leaf to the person who makes the greatest contribution.

“They will be more motivated now that there is competition!” Principal Xiao, who was a sly old fox, smiled briefly before saying, “You can let the others know so that those students will be anxious.”

Cooperation and competition were relative, but these were also areas that the school needed to take into consideration.

Humans relied on close cooperation to gain a firm foothold in the world, but in addition to cooperation, humans also needed competition to grow. The top classes were the cradle of new talent. The old principal intended to ignite the spark and increase vitality in the top classes.

In fact, what the principal had done was very effective. While Lin Yao was resting, the top classes had already heard about the Bodhi Leaf.

“The Bodhi Leaf? That fellow wants to lay his hands on it? Is he capable of that?”

“I just need a little spurt of energy to finish training my combat skill. With this skill, I will definitely comprehend the profound meaning of military boxing.”

“Damn, he is merely a junior who just joined the class…”

Most of the students in the top class did not care that someone would be joining their class. Like Lin Yao, they spent most of the day training and were not in the mood to meddle with other people’s affairs.

However, things were different now. The Bodhi Leaf was like a strong motive, and everyone was affected by it.

Comprehension was something that was very important to martial artists. It was highly sought after by everyone, yet one could only come across such things serendipitously.

It was rare to have comprehensive ability. Ordinary people had no way of gaining it. Right now, there was a chance right in front of them, so no one would be willing to give up this chance.

In order to obtain the Bodhi Leaf, all the young men sharpened their swords, and their eyes lit up at the mention of the Bodhi Leaf.

Tu Ying and Zhang Feng happened to witness the students become very enthusiastic and motivated.

“The old principal must be behind this.”

It was Zhang Feng who made this comment. He was not stupid, so he had made the connection right away. However, he almost choked upon hearing Tu Ying’s words.

“So what if you know who is behind this? Are you willing to give up the Bodhi Leaf?”
