Chapter 160 - Lord of Light

The Armored Body Of Light ability was not very amazing, but it enhanced Lin Yao’s real power. Although this was not obvious, it was the most important factor. At the same time, the 210% physical fitness bonus made Lin Yao feel that he was so much stronger than before.

He could feel the light energy brewing in his cells, and after absorbing the power of light, his cells had been recharged and were full of vitality. They were also active and tough due to the power of light, which was the principle behind the increase of Lin Yao’s basic attributes.

Lin Yao also felt that the power of the sun that he had absorbed was no longer directly stored in the cells like before.

After entering the body, the power of the sun would be absorbed by the angelic holy infant of the Sea of Consciousness. Upon absorbing it, the angelic holy infant, which acted as a plant-like energy relay, would emit purer light energy.

The purified light energy contained a trace of angelic power, and this power also greatly enhanced Lin Yao’s healing ability and purification ability.

Even the Light Adjustment had become more powerful as a result. Lin Yao felt that even if he did not practice anymore, as long as he was basking in the sun, his Iron Person could increase by 1% to 2% a day. For Lin Yao, enhancing himself through sleeping was no longer a dream. In fact, he improved faster while sleeping than ordinary people did with hard work. This was the talent of golden individuals.

‘The Celestial Tree has been upgraded, and my intrinsic nature has improved. The sacred tree is also known for its longevity. I feel that I can emulate the dragon by finding a place to sleep for 100 years and wake up again to become a gold warlord.’

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yao realized that this was not a pure daydream. Instead, it was feasible.

Of course, he would not do such a thing. The growth rate was too slow, and in the process, there was a high chance that he would be in danger.

After all, golden individuals were not born to be incomparably powerful, and newborn young dragons might be killed by fierce beasts. Lin Yao’s Celestial Tree was only at the Gold Person level. It had to be fully developed in order to be powerful like a gold warlord.

The Celestial Tree had advanced to gold, and Lin Yao’s first talent, the Armored Body Of Light, had improved greatly, and his second talent had also undergone changes.

The angel lodged on the Celestial Tree provided Lin Yao with two abilities. One of them was Brave Soul, which was God’s virtue. Lin Yao was able to remain courageous in all kinds of situations. There was no change to this ability this time.

The second ability was Angel’s Descent. One could guess the effect of this talent from its name. Unfortunately, Lin Yao’s Celestial Tree had been too weak in the past, and the angels nurtured had taken the form of light clusters, so this ability was simply unusable.

Now, with the advancement of the Celestial Tree and the incubation of angels, the description of this skill had also changed.

[Ability 1 Angel’s Descent: The Celestial Tree nurtures a new angel. Since it is nurtured by the host, it will be the host’s guardian angel. The host can summon the angel and attach it to their body, turning the Armored Body Of Light into the Angel Body.]

[Note: As the host’s angel is only in the holy infant state, the transformed angel is not complete. At the same time, the angelic holy infant can only be transformed once every seven days. Forcible transformation will affect the growth of the angelic holy infant.]

‘Although it can only be used once in seven days in an incomplete state, it still possesses the power of angels. This is my hidden trump card.’

The Armored Body Of Light had advanced by three levels, and he could use Angel’s Descent as well. This was the improvement of the original ability after the advancement of the Celestial Tree. In addition to this, the Celestial Tree, which had advanced to Gold Person, had brought about another ability in Lin Yao—Lord of Light.

[Lord of Light: Those who are favored by angels are close to the light. The host can manipulate the surrounding light elements to make them act according to the host’s own will. In the meantime, the host can temporarily grant their power of light to others in the domain affected by the host.]

The description of this combat skill was very vague, but Lin Yao had truly experienced its beauty.

In the past, he had indeed been close to light, but he’d had little influence on the light energy and used to only passively enjoy the blessing of the Body of Light and the healing effect on the body due to the power of light.

At the same time, the light energy that he could manipulate was only that scattered from within him and his physical body.

The situation was different now. After the advancement of the Celestial Tree to Gold Person, Lin Yao felt that he had been transformed into light as well, and he could sense the light energy floating around.

The reason why this talent was called Lord of Light instead of Light Harmony was because the hypostasis of angels was very high. The light elements affected by Lin Yao obeyed him, and he could command them at will.

The range of the Lord of Light was not small, as it had a radius of about 50 meters, which was similar to the range of influence of the Celestial Tree. Within this range, Lin Yao was like a lord.

The Armored Body Of Light was upgraded to LV7, and he could use Angel’s Descent and had obtained the Lord of Light ability. These were the only enhancements Lin Yao had gained from this advancement. After the advancement, Lin Yao was not in a rush to leave his consciousness. Instead, he took a look at his own attributes.

Lin Yao took a closer look at himself and was surprised to see that he only had four combat skills and he had not started on one of them, while he already had as many as five talents, and each of these five talents was very strong.

Apart from his personal attributes, the other thing that caught his attention was naturally his energy.

After the advancement of the Celestial Tree, Lin Yao’s energy had been reduced by as much as 40,000 grams. When he’d fallen into a deep sleep yesterday, Lin Yao clearly remembered that his natural energy had only been over 19,780 grams, which was not even 20,000 grams.

However, a night had passed, and Lin Yao had gained 200 to 300 grams of natural energy.

There was nothing wrong with the system, but the various facilities that he’d built and the teachers he had hired continuously provided him with energy.

‘In the future, I must build more elementary schools. If there are enough elementary schools, I can gain energy points just by sitting around.’

Lin Yao was dead bent on competing against Project Hope.

After he checked his own abilities and decided to become a great philanthropist in the future, Lin Yao’s consciousness returned to the outside world. As his consciousness recovered, he once again felt like he was being integrated with the surrounding energy.

Lin Yao relied on instinct to grab the windowsill that was illuminated by the sun.

It seemed as if he was unable to grab anything in his hands. However, as Lin Yao stretched out his hand, he realized that light had gathered in it. The dazzling light soon formed a cluster. As the surrounding light was collected in Lin Yao’s palm, the environment around him seemed to dim slightly.

Fortunately, it was daytime. The sun continuously shone through the windowsill, and a large amount of light filled up the sudden dimness. The dazzling light cluster in Lin Yao’s hand was quickly deformed. Soon, Lin Yao was seen grabbing a bright, dazzling spear of light that was formed by the light cluster.

However, there was no joy on Lin Yao’s face while he was holding the spear.

‘I made a mistake. The light energy does not weigh anything. It is meaningless to condense a spear. I cannot direct my strength into it.’

As this thought crossed his mind, the spear of light quickly merged with Lin Yao’s hands and soon turned into a light cluster.

The light cluster was initially the size of an adult’s fist, but it was quickly compressed by Lin Yao. In the end, a large amount of light energy condensed into a bean-sized spot of light that was suspended over Lin Yao’s fingertips.

Bang!

Lin Yao simulated the sound of a pistol being fired and raised his fingers slightly as though he was raising the muzzle after shooting. At the same time, the light spot floating over Lin Yao’s fingertips was sent propelling forward.

There was a crack, and the light spot penetrated the wall in front of Lin Yao. There were traces of melting on the small hole, which had been made by the light spot shooting through the wall.

‘This is very powerful. It is a laser.’

Lin Yao had not expected that he would be able to emit laser light with his fingers like a shining fruit one day.

There were even more surprises due to the addition of the Lord of Light ability.

Lin Yao stood in the room, took a deep breath, and outlined the guardian holy seal in his Sea of Consciousness.

The guardian holy seal was a literal symbol. Compared with the complex Leize Dragon God visualization image, the guardian holy seal formed with only a few strokes was naturally easier to outline. In addition, Lin Yao would outline it every day, so he finished the outline in seconds, and it appeared on the Sun God Pattern on his chest.

The guardian holy seal made small changes to the characteristics of the light energy in Lin Yao’s body, making them more resilient to the transformation of the body, which gave him a stronger defense.

In the past, because Lin Yao had an abundance of power of light in his body, his guardian holy seal ability used to be higher than that of ordinary people.

This time, in addition to directing the large amount of power of light in his body into the guardian holy seal, Lin Yao seemed like a black hole that commanded the power of light at will, forcibly projecting it into the guardian holy seal.

Thanks to the huge amount of light input, the guardian holy seal on Lin Yao’s chest glowed with dazzling light.

The guardian holy seal, which was in full operation, even projected a foot-long holy light onto Lin Yao’s body. This was not an ordinary light but a guardian brilliance. This protective divine light could delay the enemy’s attack. Due to the purification characteristics of the light, this guardian brilliance had a huge defensive effect against energy attacks.

While fully concentrating on the power of light around him, Lin Yao was left a little speechless by his glowing self. ‘This seems to be the same as the Golden Light Incantation of Taoism.’

The Golden Light Incantation was good, but Lin Yao was still dissatisfied. In the end, the light energy in the Sun God Pattern on Lin Yao’s chest was also directed into the guardian holy seal.

The energy in his cells, the energy of the external light, and the energy in the Sun God Pattern converged and finally resulted in a qualitative change. The simple guardian holy seal became complicated due to the input of light energy, and Lin Yao’s body underwent a transformation due to the changes in the guardian holy seal.

The one-foot-long guardian brilliance changed rapidly in front of Lin Yao’s eyes. Soon, a slightly fuzzy set of armor appeared on Lin Yao’s body, fitting him tightly.

Guardian holy seal; profound meaning; holy garment.
