China had invested so many resources in training Lin Yao, so they naturally had requirements for him. They wanted him to be a silver warlord or to be in the top 50 of the Hidden Dragons List within a year. After completing this stage, the resources for the second stage would be sent to Lin Yao.
These two requirements were actually quite difficult. All the teenagers in China were chasing the Hidden Dragons List. Each of the top 30 geniuses had the ability to fight beyond their level. Che Zhengyi, who was ranked in the top few, could even kill a gold warlord in seconds.
Although it was not that exaggerated to be in the top 50, one could still compete with a gold warlord.
The Chinese military had never thought that Lin Yao, a warlord, would be able to reach the top 50 within a year. They had thought that Lin Yao would be the first to achieve the goal of becoming a silver warlord within a year. After all, Lin Yao's cultivation speed was obvious to all.
However, Lin Yao now felt that it would be easier for him to achieve the second goal.
"Success or failure depends on today."
While muttering to himself, Lin Yao communicated with the sacred tree in his mind. Soon, the Bodhi Tree shook and emitted a mysterious aura. The aura was related to the golden cicada in Lin Yao's hand, and the golden cicada's spirit essence was dragged into Lin Yao's Sea of Consciousness without any resistance, climbing onto the Bodhi Tree.
The golden cicada, which had entered the soul, was still a little confused. Before it could react, a large amount of mysterious aura seeped out of the Bodhi Tree and merged with the golden cicada.
In nature, it was very difficult for the soul to survive alone. It had to rely on something, and it was afraid of the scorching sun, thunder, and strong winds. Although it could absorb yin aura, most of the yin aura contained some negative emotions, and absorbing yin aura would gradually make the soul indifferent and crazy.
This was why the ghost path was the lowest among the five paths.
However, now, the aura emitted by the Bodhi Tree made the golden cicada feel like it had returned to life. The golden cicada was immersed in this wonderful feeling of longing for life, constantly absorbing the mysterious aura emitted by the Bodhi Tree.
However, during the absorption, a huge amount of mysterious aura washed over the golden cicada, making it feel alive. Its memory was also being washed away, and its existing soul was being reorganized along with the mysterious aura.
In the past, recasting the feathered serpent spirit had been easy, and Lin Yao believed that it would be the same this time. However, he was soon surprised. Halfway through the absorption, the golden cicada suddenly woke up from the integration of the mysterious aura and began to struggle.
"This is troublesome. It actually woke up. Is it because the soul essence is more complete? I have to be careful of its resistance."
He thought that the awakened Golden Cicada would definitely not sit and wait for death, but the situation was reversed again. After the awakened Golden Cicada subconsciously resisted for a while, it looked at the divine tree and stopped moving, allowing the divine tree to recast it.
"What the hell?"
This situation was completely beyond his expectations. However, when he realized that the situation was favorable to him, he continued to recast. A steady stream of mysterious aura was extracted from the Bodhi Tree and injected into the golden cicada's body. Soon, the golden cicada's soul and the aura blended more and more deeply, and finally, it was completely integrated into the sacred tree. After a few breaths, a fruit with internal strength and the golden cicada's virtual image bore on the Bodhi Tree.
This was not the end. If this was a normal world, the Bodhi Tree would take decades or even centuries to slowly cultivate this seed. This was a very long time, but the one thing the divine tree did not lack was time.
However, the divine tree did not lack Lin Yao. Thanks to his thoughts, more and more mysterious aura was extracted from the Bodhi Tree, making the aura of the golden cicada fruit on the Bodhi Tree more and more abundant. However, the extraction of a large amount of aura even made the Bodhi Tree wilt.
This extraction lasted for three minutes. Lin Yao was distressed. When most of the branches and leaves of the Bodhi Tree turned yellow, a clear cicada chirp finally echoed in Lin Yao's Sea of Consciousness.
"It's finally a success."
After sighing, Lin Yao looked at the Bodhi Tree first. As he had expected, it had become seriously injured, and its origin was seriously injured.
[Bodhi Tree (- 30000/1 million)]
[State: Seriously Injured (Origin Damaged)]
\ 'Fortunately, I only lack 30,000 energy points. I have them. It\'s worth using energy points in exchange for time.\'
— —
The sacred tree was old, and it relied on the accumulation of time to cultivate its dependents. Lin Yao was too aggressive and naturally hurt the sacred tree. However, when he saw the situation of the golden cicada, he felt that his efforts were worth it.
[Golden Cicada]
[Level: Peak Silver (Elite Model)]
[Ability 1 Cicada Chirp — Demonic Sound: The cicada chirp is sharp and ear-piercing. When the golden cicada goes all out, thousands of noises will ring in the enemy\'s mind at the same time. This sound can make people upset and even go crazy. At the same time, the Cicada Chirp — Demonic Sound is like an infrasonic wave weapon that can affect real matter.]
[Ability 2 Cicada Chirp — Voiceless Sound: The cicada chirp can make people upset, but it can also make people feel happy when they hear it. After integrating with the Bodhi Tree, the Cicada Chirp — Voiceless Sound can make the host feel relaxed and relieve fatigue. At the same time, there is a certain chance that the host will enter a state of natural compatibility when listening to the chirp.]
[Ability 3 Cicada Foresight: The golden cicada has the ability to predict danger and disasters.]
\ 'It is indeed a peak silver level. My Bodhi Tree is still too young. It is too difficult to cultivate a dependent that is also at the gold level.\'
Lin Yao felt that it was normal to discover that the golden cicada had not broken through to the gold level. At the same time, Lin Yao was also very satisfied with the golden cicada\'s abilities. In fact, this golden cicada had exceeded Lin Yao\'s expectations.
\ 'Since it is compatible with the Bodhi Tree, it\'s not surprising that the golden cicada has the Cicada Chirp — Voiceless Sound ability. I contracted it because it has the ability to soothe one\'s mind. This ability will make it easier for me to read or practice skills. It can also protect my mind during battles. After developing my brain, it can also help me recover quickly. The demonic sound is not unexpected. The golden cicada is so big that it must have the ability to attack. However, I really didn\'t expect the Cicada Foresight to have the ability to predict danger.\ '
Right now, Lin Yao still did not understand that the golden cicada had relied on this foresight ability to wake up during recasting. At the same time, Lin Yao was also very satisfied with this unexpected ability.
Although it was not aggressive, it increased Lin Yao\'s chances of survival.
However, Lin Yao was not without doubts. He wondered why the golden cicada did not resist after sensing danger.
While listening to the joyful chirping of the newborn golden cicada in his mind, Lin Yao pondered this. Soon, he had some ideas in his mind.
\ 'The sacred tree recasts the soul of the golden cicada, but it is already dead. This recasting is equivalent to a new life.\'
Reproduction and survival were the most essential instincts of living beings. The recasting of the sacred tree was a different kind of reproduction. The golden cicada was dead, and after its survival instincts faded, the survival instincts left behind made it unable to resist.
\ 'This instinct is not bad. Unfortunately, this is all it can do if it doesn\'t resist. The higher the level, the higher the intelligence of the creature, but the more afraid it is of death. If the Golden Toad\'s soul had not been broken, it would not have lost its resistance so easily.\'
The newborn golden cicada kept chirping in Lin Yao\'s Sea of Consciousness. Its chirping was crisp and pleasant, bringing with it a hint of joy and admiration for Lin Yao. While enjoying the crisp chirping, Lin Yao was also comforting the golden cicada, letting it lie on the Bodhi Tree and absorb the mysterious aura of the Bodhi Tree.
When it stopped, Lin Yao also looked at the words\ 'Elite Template\' on the golden cicada after it reached the peak silver level.
Lin Yao was not surprised to see these words. The template in the Sea of Consciousness was based on Lin Yao\'s consciousness and changed according to his knowledge and subconsciousness.
In the past, although Lin Yao knew that geniuses were divided into levels, he had never thought about how to distinguish the strong and the weak among those of the same level. Therefore, only the levels were marked on his interface. As Lin Yao\'s knowledge and experience increased, there were differences in the templates.
In Lin Yao\'s opinion, the elite template meant that the physical strength would be between 300% and 500% each time he advanced. There were also the genius template (500% to 800%), the top genius template (800% to 1,000%), and the boss template, which was the king seedling template (more than 1,000%).
One could tell the gap between the various templates just by looking at their physical strength.
Although the golden cicada was also a peak silver warlord, it was not weak. However, it was only at the second level. Although more than 90% of the silver warlords were at this level, Lin Yao was a genius and people had high expectations of him. If he wanted to obtain resources, his opponents would obviously not be these people.
\ 'On the Hidden Dragons List, most people\'s templates are the top genius templates, and the top 10 are the boss templates. Each of them is like the final boss, and they are not as strong as the silver warlords. Although the golden cicada is also a silver warlord, it can\'t even enter the top 100, let alone the top 10.\'
