Chapter 113  : Leize Dragon God Meditation

“Are you willing to give up on the Bodhi Leaf?”

“How could I?”

“Then it seems that the three of us will be fighting for the leaf this time.”

When that was said, Zhang Feng and Tu Ying looked at the cold woman next to them, Yan Yan.

The top class was formed by promoting and gathering geniuses from ordinary classes, and there was an elimination system. Therefore, the students there were generally better than in other classes.

It was a pity that Ninghai No. 4 High School was only the fourth high school, and students with better backgrounds and stronger talent were sent to No. 1 High School.

Therefore, even the top class had only three advanced martial artists.

There were one male and two female powerhouses in the class. Namely, Yan Yan, Tu Ying, and Zhang Feng. That was the current situation in the class.

The three of them were eager to obtain the Bodhi Leaf as well.

They looked at each other before Zhang Feng finally spoke up.

“Stop staring at each other. The old principal has said that the Bodhi Leaf will be given as a reward only when our school becomes one of the top two in the city. Therefore, before we defeat the other two schools, we have to cooperate with each other… As expected, this is the usual style of the sly old fox. He is, in fact, teaching us the attitude that we should have in the future.”

Tu Ying and Yan Yan frowned upon hearing these words.

Tu Ying, who had a deep passion for martial arts, and Yan Yan, who was cold and indifferent, had no intention of cooperating with others.

Zhang Feng had a headache upon seeing their reaction.

“Damn, I can’t get Ninghai No. 4 High School in the top two places in the city with my own effort.”

Without much hesitation, Zhang Feng took the initiative to make a suggestion.

“Although I don’t want to say this, during this period, the three of us will have to train together. Team battles amount to a high percentage of the school’s total score.”

“Okay.”

Although Tu Ying frowned upon seeing the situation, Tu Ying still nodded and agreed. Tu Ying wanted the Bodhi Leaf. Thus, they looked at Yan Yan.

When she saw this, she contemplated it for a moment before she said, “Four people.”

“What do you mean?”

“We actually need five people to form a team, right!?”

They wondered what Yan Yan meant. However, Yan Yan shook her head at what they said.

“Student Lin Yao will join the team.”

“Lin Yao? The one who is with you? No way!”

After learning about Yan Yan’s plan, Zhang Feng and Tu Ying directly refused.

“The competition requires a five-member team. Given our capabilities, we are not capable of overwhelming other schools, and we may not even be able to win. We must not bring someone that will hinder us.”

Zhang Feng tried his best to convince her. “I know you are very close with him, but a lot of things are at stake at this competition. Even if you don’t want the Bodhi Leaf, you must not disappoint the old principal.”

“I am not saying that he can directly join the team.”

After speaking, Yan Yan left and continued to train her ability to manipulate ice.

Tu Ying could not help but frown. “What is that supposed to mean?”

However, Zhang Feng seemed to understand something. “Since Yan Yan has confidence in Lin Yao, she must be thinking that he will be able to join the school team with his abilities.”

“How is it possible? That guy is merely a beginner-level martial artist. This woman must be blinded by love. However, that guy is indeed handsome.”

In response, Zhang Feng shook his head. “I don’t think so. Classmate Yan Yan might be blinded by love, but the old principal is a sly old fox. He wouldn’t be mesmerized by his charm. The principal must think highly of him to offer him the Bodhi Leaf.”

“You’re right. Forget it. Isn’t he going to join the top class tomorrow? We shall see how capable he is then.”

Lin Yao was clueless about the storm that the principal had stirred up. He did not continue training after bidding farewell to his classmates.

He was not slacking off. It was just that he was simply too exhausted today.

Due to the stimulus of the electric current, coupled with the state of accelerated thinking that had been activated several times during the battle, Lin Yao’s current physical condition was relatively good. Although he had sustained injuries, his body had quickly recovered after basking in the sun, as well as enjoying the effect of the Armored Body Of Light.

His body might have been able to recover, but his mental strength was drained, and he had an awful headache now.

‘I must increase my mental strength. The nine-second accelerated thinking period is too short.’

Apart from pushing one’s mental strength to the limit to become stronger, there was another method to become stronger: meditation. Right now, Lin Yao was searching for diamond-level meditation techniques on the exchange interface of the Abnormal Ability Department.

‘Unexpectedly, the first technique that I want to redeem turns out to be a technique that trains mental strength.’

Among the various departments in China, the Abnormal Ability Department was the department that focused most on mental strength. There were many talented people there, and most of them had powerful mental strength. Therefore, Lin Yao was able to find countless meditation techniques in the forum of the Abnormal Ability Department.

Meditation meant relying on visualization. There were many visualization methods that could be practiced. However, Lin Yao realized that they could be roughly divided into three categories. One category was gods, demons, and beasts. When visualizing them, one would focus one’s mind to take on the appearance of a god, demon, or beast in order to enhance one’s mental strength and obtain various powers.

The second category was objects and scenery. Mirrors, pagodas, the sun and moon, the stars, mountains, rivers, etc. could all be used as visualization images, and most of them were dead objects.

The third category, which Lin Yao called the most scientific method, was not about visualizing natural scenery or powerful fantastical creatures, but modern geometry and calculus…

This was a visualization method that had only been developed in modern times. After a closer look, Lin Yao realized that this type of visualization could not only improve mental strength but could also enhance one’s logical thinking ability and arithmetic ability, or even their spatial construction ability.

However, after a brief look, Lin Yao went on to browse other methods.

This type of visualization was very good, but one had to be smart. The smarter one was, the greater the benefits of the visualization would be.

Lin Yao did not think that he was a fool. He was just an average man. He was still not ready to take this path, which was meant for geniuses.

‘This is for geniuses.’

The third method of visualization aside, Lin Yao initially wanted to visualize the second category, which included objects and scenery.

‘Forget about gods and demons. It would be troublesome if the things I visualized appeared in reality.’

As far as the second category was concerned, he could choose between mountains, rivers, the sun, the moon, and stars. He could even choose to visualize swords, mirrors, or pagodas.

There were different methods for different objects. Lin Yao was wondering how he should pick.

While he was pondering it, he quickly browsed and a picture appeared in front of Lin Yao very soon. It was a picture of the god, demon, and beast category. The meditation creature that had appeared was a phoenix.

At first, Lin Yao wanted to move on to the next object. He did not have a fire-based sacred tree, and the phoenix was not something he had taken into consideration.

However, soon, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at a big tree in the phoenix visualization image.

‘Wait, I remember a sentence saying that the phoenix only resides on the Chinese Parasol Tree.’

There was no problem with this, yet Lin Yao was reminded of something else. His talent was different from that of ordinary people’s.

‘My talent is planting trees, and although some sacred trees might be stronger and some might be weaker than beasts, gods, and demons, trees are producers in nature. Besides, they are slightly different from gods and demons, as trees can provide for the universe. Most sacred trees do not keep to themselves. Instead, they have companions.’

The Phoenix and the Chinese Parasol Tree, the three-legged golden crow and the Hibiscus Tree, the Kabbalah Tree of Life and the angel…

Many sacred trees had companions. In fact, an angel had latched on to the Celestial Tree that Lin Yao had planted. The angel’s willpower was even affected by Lin Yao’s consciousness and could be considered a fraction of his soul.

‘If I visualize gods, demons, and beasts, I am afraid that I will be counter-controlled by these monsters in the future. After all, it is difficult to visualize something more powerful than the original. However, if I use the original as a reference, will the visualization be much more effective and enable me to get double the result with half the effort?

‘No, this is no longer about being effective. The essence of the visualization is making mental strength get closer to the gods and demons and gain their various abilities. Hence, one can make use of the characteristics of the gods and demons to be in harmony with heaven and earth, thus gaining insight into the workings of the world.

‘Therefore, in order to learn visualization, the first step that human beings have to take is transforming their mental strength into gods, demons, or treasure.’

Rome had not been built in a day, and the visualization image would not be completed overnight either.

There were several steps to human meditation. The first step was emptying the mind, and the second step was outlining the image to be visualized in the consciousness.

There was no way one could speed up the outlining process. Of course, one did not need to outline everything for the visualization.

As long as one had a general outline, the first layer of the visualization image would be considered completed.

Thereafter, one had to slowly fill in the details so that the outline would look more and more similar to the real thing. This was a long process. In the end, the transformed image would be no different from the original.

The third step was drawing the “god” of the visualization image so that the solidified dead object would come to life.

The visualization image had to be completed step by step.

However, although ordinary people had to do it step by step, this was not the case for Lin Yao.

If the spirit essence of gods and demons parasitized the big tree in his Sea of Consciousness, he could skip the first few steps. It would be a bit exaggerated to reach the final step all at once. However, he could easily shorten the process by several months or even decades.

‘So, the best visualization image for me is that of gods, demons, and beasts. As long as I have the spirit essence of such creatures and they can coexist with my sacred tree, I can skip the previous few steps and get to the third stage of meditation.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao pulled his wandering mind back to the present and began to search for a meditation technique for visualizing angels.

If Lin Yao had decided on another spirit essence, he would have needed to search for it. However, he already had the angel spirit essence. Since it was one of the symbols of Western monotheistic religion, there would naturally be a meditation technique to visualize angels.

However, Lin Yao, who had this thought in mind, could not find any after some searching.

‘This is impossible. The angel is so famous that it is impossible that no one conducted any further related studies…’

He was lost for a few seconds before he thought of a possible reason for this.

‘Could China have forbidden the spread of Western meditation techniques… That should not be the case. I can find Western combat skills on the list of skills to be redeemed in the Abnormal Ability Department.’

Lin Yao felt distressed. However, he kept searching the exchange interface of the Abnormal Ability Department. A few minutes later, he finally found some clues.

‘There are many combat techniques from other countries in China. However, most of the meditation methods are local, and there don’t seem to be any meditation techniques from other countries. Could one’s mind affect one’s mentality?’

Lin Yao was correct. Meditation would have an effect on one’s mental strength. If someone kept visualizing one person or one object for a long time, it would indeed affect their will.

If someone kept singing the praises of angels, even if they were in China, their heart would be elsewhere.

Although the human world was generally peaceful, and they had two common enemies, beasts and freaks, the countries did not have a very close relationship with each other.

Therefore, although Western spiritual meditation was not completely forbidden in Eastern countries, it was also a very difficult subject to learn and master. On the contrary, combat skills, which only involved the body but not the spiritual will, could be practiced at will.

‘It seems like there is no way of finding the angel meditation technique. I should search for thunder meditation techniques instead.’

Although there was no thunderous spirit essence for the time being, given that he had the Tree of Heaven Punishment, as long as Lin Yao found the thunder spirit essence, he would be able to achieve instant success when practicing the meditation technique. Therefore, he did not hesitate before making his choice.

After searching through the forum, Lin Yao realized that there were many thunder god and beast meditation techniques.

Even if he filtered out objects and scenery mediation techniques, there would still be more than 100 meditation techniques. If he removed the techniques that were below the diamond level, he would still have 10 methods to choose from.

After scanning the results, Lin Yao fixed his gaze on a diamond-level meditation technique.
