Chapter 91: Diamond Combat Skill Exchange

Lin Yao was not surprised upon seeing the slight increase in his physical progress.

Besides being used like energy, electrical energy could also stimulate the body and accelerate the training progress.

When Lin Yao’s body was integrated with electricity, he could only absorb a small amount of electrical energy during his training. Nevertheless, he possessed thunder talent, and this bit of energy was enough to aid Lin Yao’s physical growth.

His physical realm had already reached Iron Person 7%. After another round of training, Lin Yao’s vital energy seeds had also increased to 17.

However, he had to stop training at that moment.

‘What a pity. Although the earlier electric current intensity was ideal, I have a human body, so I can’t persist any longer.’

As Lin Yao sighed, Senior Sister Jiang Rong returned and looked at him speechlessly.

“If this is not considered long, wouldn’t others have to jump off the building and commit suicide? The intensity of the electric current is 1.5 times more than usual, and you’ve persisted for two hours. The effect of this one training session is more than five times the effect of others!”

“Senior Sister, you’re here.”

“Yes. Here’s your combat suit. I’ve adjusted it according to your parameters. It’s now at 1.5 times the usual intensity. This can improve your physique by 50%. You’ll also be able to persist for two hours, which was the duration of your earlier training session, in this mode. In addition to the normal mode, there is also a combat mode that can double your physique. However, you won’t be able to last for a long time in that mode. You could at most persist for three to five minutes. Also, the electric current stimulation will only increase your strength and reaction speed, but not your defense and physique. Don’t be impulsive during a battle.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Senior Sister.”

Upon looking at the jet-black combat suit, Lin Yao was elated and immediately put it on in the room next door.

This skin-tight garment could be worn outdoors, but after contemplating it, Lin Yao decided to wear a jacket over it.

He could also sense the power supplied by the skin-tight garment.

After he turned on the electricity, Lin Yao was pleasantly surprised to discover that the electrically stimulated body and the blessed light energy body could be superimposed.

Unfortunately, this was not multiplication but addition. After he activated the tight-fitting combat suit in the state of the Body of Light, Lin Yao’s physique became 1.8 times stronger than that of his peers.

‘No, it’s 1.8 times the average strength and speed and 1.3 times the average physique.’

After some experimenting, Lin Yao discovered that there was relatively less blessed power of light. Although this was the case, his defense increased when the power of light filled his body cells. Additionally, it also gave him the ability to recuperate and resist harsh environments.

‘The power of light is more comprehensive, whereas the power of thunder and lightning is more aggressive.’

Blessed with these two superpowers, Lin Yao’s physique was already comparable to that of a student who was an advanced martial artist.

‘Well, this only applies when I’m wearing the combat suit in the daytime.’

The Armored Body of Light was extremely important. In the absence of the power of light protecting his body, Lin Yao could persist for at most 30 minutes in the normal mode. As for the combat mode, he didn’t even dare activate it. This was because, without the power of light stabilizing his physical body, Lin Yao would have to lie in bed to rest for at least three days.

Suddenly doubling the power and speed was no joke.

‘Why do I have the feeling that the Armored Body of Light is becoming my core ability? Forget it. I’m going to acquire the Angel Gem soon. I’ll be able to graduate from being the Solaire of Astora then.

‘Praise the sun.’

After that thought, Lin Yao wanted to train. However, he took a glance at Senior Sister Jiang and thought of the help she’d rendered him. Lin Yao could only postpone his practice and take Senior Sister Jiang out for a meal.

However, he soon discovered a problem while he was leaving the place. The ductility and conductivity of the tight-fitting combat suit were excellent. Unfortunately, although Lin Yao could even train while he was wearing the skin-tight garment, the tight-fitting suit also hindered Lin Yao’s light absorption.

He needed to come into skin contact with sunlight in order to absorb light energy. He could do that with ordinary clothing, as light would be able to pass through it. However, the situation had become different after he’d put on the tight-fitting suit. The rays of the sun had been blocked by the combat suit.

Of course, it could still absorb a minimal amount of light. Lin Yao’s head was exposed and could receive the nourishment of sunlight, but it was odd for only his head to be shining.

‘Sigh… Sure enough, nothing is perfect. I hope the Angel Gem delivered tomorrow will be able to solve this problem.’

Upon seeing Lin Yao’s sullen expression, Senior Sister Jiang couldn’t help but look unhappy.

“Is something wrong? Is it that embarrassing to have a meal with me?”

“No, Senior Sister, I was just thinking about something.” In order to resolve the misunderstanding, Lin Yao told Jiang Rong about his earlier thoughts.

“You’re aware that I have light talent. The tight-fitting suit has cut off my sunlight absorption.”

“This can be resolved with a photosensitive material, but it will require a material change, not just adjusting the electric current parameters, and there is a charge for this.”

“Uh, how much?”

“The photosensitive material you need is at least as valuable as gold. The material alone already costs one million yuan.”

“Senior Sister, this rice is very fragrant.”

It was still too difficult for Lin Yao to cough out one million yuan. After shaking his head bitterly, he simply stopped pondering this and focused on the meal with Senior Sister Jiang instead.

After the meal, Senior Sister Jiang returned to the research room and Lin Yao began to practice martial arts.

The focus of his training was the Deafening Thunder Roar this time. After last night’s experience, Lin Yao had realized that the Deafening Thunder Roar, which contained the profound meaning of Heavenly Thunder, was the only skill he had that could affect the freaks. In order to maximize his chances of staying alive, Lin Yao was prepared to train by using the Deafening Thunder Roar until it was a walk in the park.

‘By the way, should I practice another thunder combat skill? With the blessing of Heavenly Thunder, any combat skill trained to the proficiency level will be enough to pose a threat to the freaks.’

One thing led to another. Just as he thought of this, Lin Yao sprang into action.

Under the sun, he simply took out his cell phone, accessed the Abnormal Ability Department forum, and checked his browsing authority.

[Lin Yao]

[Rating: Gold (Diamond Potential)]

[Website Browsing Authority: Level B]

[Talent: Almighty Great Spiritualist (Besides him, only Level-A Personnel can view this)]

[State Subsidies: 30,000 yuan per month, 30 bottles of low-level nutrition drinks, 2 diamond techniques (1 remaining from the previous allocation), and 1,000 grams of attribute crystals per month.]

[City Subsidies: 70,000 yuan per month, 70 bottles of low-level nutrition drinks, 1 diamond combat skill (nationwide), and 1,000 grams of attribute crystals.]

After Lin Yao’s consumption and exchange, the opportunity to apply for subsidies from the state and the city had been exhausted. He was only left with one technique and two combat skills.

Ignoring the technique, Lin Yao searched for thunder combat skills. He was searching for diamond-level combat skills, as he was eligible to trade for one.

After Lin Yao entered his personal information into the website, a series of abilities greeted his eyes.

He did something different from what he would normally do. He didn’t browse the website indiscriminately. Stunned, he stared at the first thunder combat skill on the ranking list.

‘They actually have this skill. Furthermore, it has already been exchanged 100,000 times. That’s scary. Did all the thunder geniuses trade for this skill after becoming eligible to trade for a diamond-level combat skill?’

Lin Yao was surprised by the number of downloads but soon came back to his senses.

‘If I was in their shoes, I’d also trade for this. This combat skill has huge prospects and a great reputation.’

With this thought in mind, Lin Yao clicked on the combat skill. He browsed through the discussions of the purchasers before viewing the specific information on the skill.

When he looked at it, Lin Yao’s heart was filled with confusion. He even felt somewhat desperate.

It was not his fault. The conversations about the combat skill had fallen from grace. There were miserable cries everywhere.

“B*stard! Why do I have to learn electromagnetics for this combat skill?”

“It’s so difficult. I don’t understand any of this. How is it used?”

“It actually requires arithmetic ability. This combat skill is too difficult to learn.”

“I’ve already given up on it. I wish you all the best, everyone.”

“It does not require only arithmetic ability, but also perfect control. Argh… I’m going crazy.”

…

Judging from the wails across the discussion forum, Lin Yao could sense the difficulty of this combat skill. However, he gritted his teeth and still decided to trade for it.

After all, this combat skill was really famous, and its prospects were excellent.
