Chapter 105 - The Second Electric Current Development (Increased Intensity)
Since Lin Yao had already applied for leave to collect his resources, he did not rush back to school. Instead, he went to the research institute. He was thinking of getting Senior Sister Jiang Rong to help him insert the electrical energy crystal into the Electric Current Stimulation Combat Suit. In the meantime, he also wanted to fine-tune the parameters of the combat suit. He wanted to adjust the usual state to 100% electric current stimulation and the combat state to 200%.
‘No, it would be better to add 150% and divide it into three gears. 100% will be the usual state, while 150% will be the combat state, and 200% will be the desperate fight state. This will accommodate different occasions.’
Lin Yao decided to work on it right now. After leaving the Abnormal Ability Department, he went straight to Professor Li’s research institute.
The journey there was peaceful, and the only thing that surprised him was that there were more people watching him.
Lin Yao, who was puzzled, looked in the mirror of the mall on the road and understood why.
‘Oh, I have become handsome again. I am so damn dashing!’
Lin Yao sighed while he looked at the bright and sunny face in the mirror. Thanks to his good looks, his sigh seemed melancholic yet beautiful.
Of course, other people did not know what Lin Yao was sighing about, or the jealous men would never allow Lin Yao to leave that place.
Lin Yao, who was sighing, walked very fast and soon arrived at Professor Li’s research institute. Senior Sister Jiang Rong had already arrived, and it did not take long to adjust the electric current parameters of the combat suit. The only thing that bothered Lin Yao was that the senior sister became more and more enthusiastic around him.
However, what happened next exceeded Lin Yao’s expectations. The gray-haired Professor Li came over with a gentle and kind expression on his face, yet his words were evil and shocking.
“It’s time for the in-depth electric current stimulation.”
In the past, Lin Yao had always trembled after hearing such words. This was a stress-related response caused by physical fear. However, although Lin Yao still remembered the feeling of being stimulated by electric shock, he was fearless this time around.
Lin Yao said no in the end.
“It can be done, but the school is holding a competition at noon today. Hence, I can only undergo the electric current development in the afternoon.”
“Competition? There is no hurry. I remember that you attend No. 4 High School. Wait a minute.”
After saying that, Professor Li made a direct call.
“Is this Old Xiao? I’m Old Li. I heard that you are having a competition in the afternoon. I’m going to watch the match, but I may be late. Do you think…
“Is that so? Sorry for troubling you.”
After a few words, Professor Li smiled and turned to Lin Yao.
“The leaders will watch the match, so the competition at your school may be delayed. Can we proceed with the in-depth development now?”
“Sure…”
Lin Yao nodded and looked at Professor Li. He sensed that the professor was acting somewhat differently.
However, Lin Yao quickly realized that it would, in fact, be odd if the professor was someone ordinary.
The gray-haired old man was a member of the talent evaluation team, and he was the most important member.
There were currently a lot of evaluators, such as those from the Abnormal Ability Department, the Armed Police Force, the military, the municipal government, and the national prosecutor bureau. These people came from very important departments. However, these departments were actually monitoring each other and trying to poach talented people.
Due to the old professor’s profession, he was the person who could determine the talent level of the person to be evaluated. Based on this alone, Lin Yao could tell that the old professor was a big boss.
Besides, he could also tell from Senior Sister Jiang Rong’s situation that the professor was not an ordinary man. She was a student of the University of Monster Science and Technology, but if she had not graduated, she would not have been easily recruited even by an ordinary researcher.
‘I should check with the Senior Sister later to find out who exactly the professor is.’
Led by Professor Li, Lin Yao once again went to the electric chair for in-depth electric energy development.
Lin Yao took off most of his clothes and a group of researchers attached numerous electrode patches on him. At the same time, chains and shackles appeared on the seat, binding Lin Yao’s body and rendering him immobile.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes… Wait, Professor. Can I fill my body with light?”
“Light? Are you referring to the pattern on your chest? I see, open the skylight.”
As the window opened, the sun rays shone on Lin Yao, warming his whole body. At the same time, the light energy filled his body.
Lin Yao sighed while absorbing the sun rays.
‘It’s a pity. Although these are the same sun rays, after the mutation of spirit energy, starlight, moonlight, sun rays, and artificial light are no longer the same.’
Before the Spirit Energy Revival, the sun rays had contained light energy, the moonlight had been the sunlight reflected by the moon, and the starlight had been the sunlight in the distant starry sky. All these lights were the same.
However, after they’d been mixed with spirit energy, everything had become different. The nature of starlight, moonlight, and sun rays had completely changed, and the electric lamps made by humans and the high-power ultraviolet rays were also somewhat different.
‘In addition to their fusion with spirit energy, the sun rays seem to have been mixed with the power of the soul. Humans believe that the sun has the power of justice, light, healing… and so on. Alas, such idealism is at times troublesome.’
The difference in light made it very effective for Lin Yao to absorb sun rays. If he used the mirror to focus the light, he would always feel that something was missing after filtering it.
The light that was focused using a mirror could still fill the body’s cells. However, given that something seemed to be missing, Lin Yao preferred to use pure sun rays as much as possible.
Lin Yao did not have much time to absorb the sun rays. However, he had the Sun God Pattern, so he was able to store several times that power of light.
Besides, the sunlight absorption ability had reached level 10 MAX and was also very powerful. It not only allowed Lin Yao to absorb most of the power in the sun rays, but it also attracted a larger range of solar power.
The abundance of light lit up Lin Yao, who was sitting under the light and looked as holy as an angel.
Of course, one had to remove the electrode patches and shackles around Lin Yao in order for him to look like an angel.
An hour later, Lin Yao’s body was filled with light energy and the Sun God Pattern was fully charged. He could finally begin the final electric current development.
Without waiting any longer, Professor Li gave the order and the switch was immediately turned on. The current intensity gradually increased and very soon reached the level of the electric current that Lin Yao had experienced last time.
Lin Yao had been left half-dead after the previous experience. Not only had he rolled his eyes and felt numb all over his body, but he had also been electrocuted to the extent that he’d suffered from urinary incontinence.
However, this time, Lin Yao was different. The intermediate Body of Light had increased his physical fitness by 90%, and this increase had not only enhanced his strength and speed, but also his defense, vitality, and resistance.
These various improvements had greatly enhanced Lin Yao’s ability to withstand electric shock, and the current intensity was just right for him.
Feeling this, Lin Yao immediately cast a look at Professor Li. Although he did not speak, Professor Li understood what Lin Yao meant.
“Increase the current.”
Professor Li did not hesitate to increase it. After reaching the previous limit, he continued to increase the current. The terrifying electric current rushed into Lin Yao’s body, gushing about in it, stimulating his muscles, and burning his nerves.
As the electric current increased, numbness and a trembling, terrifying pain once again hovered in Lin Yao’s mind.
However, although Lin Yao could feel the pain, the pain did not knock him down this time. God’s virtue, Brave Soul, made Lin Yao fearless.
Right now, the burning pain was no longer unbearable for Lin Yao. Instead, he regarded it as a form of tempering.
Waves of intense pain struck Lin Yao. His body trembled uncontrollably due to the electric shock. However, he looked determined and did not wail from the pain.
Despite the extreme pain, Lin Yao fearlessly allowed his consciousness to sink into his body, feel, touch, and control the electric current that was constantly rushing into him.
Lin Yao felt the stimulation of the electric current on the body, enjoying the pain and power of the electric stimulation. His spirit was indomitable because of the Brave Soul.
This perception was painful. Right now, Lin Yao felt as if his body was being dismembered to death, yet he did not howl or cry in pain to distract himself. Instead, he concentrated on the place where the knife cut the flesh and felt his body being sliced apart inch by inch.
