Invincible through Touching Corpses

The moment Lin Xinghai entered the rest area, the members of the Wolf Hunting Squad came up to greet him.

"Captain Lin, that was amazing!" Fu Yuan was the first to exclaim, his face filled with emotion.

The others all nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly. "How are you all so well-informed?"

"The Sharp Blade Camp had communication devices when they went down. They give regular progress reports, so news of your deeds... forget us, the entire military camp has probably heard about it by now."

"Single-handedly killing three Body Shaping Realm experts and helping to secure the entire underground experimental area... The amount of Merit you’ll get from this mission will be absolutely terrifying," Fu Yuan said with a sigh of amazement.

The expressions of the others were also filled with envy, but envy was all they could feel. After all, what Lin Xinghai had accomplished was something they would never have even dared to imagine before.

At this moment, the other special forces squads also came over one by one to greet Lin Xinghai.

Among them, the most awkward was undoubtedly Jin Xiu of the Thick Earth Squad.

"Um... Captain Lin, back when we were heading out, I didn’t realize how strong you were. I was rude at the start, and I hope you can forgive me. Also, thank you for arriving in time to save us brothers."

"If you ever need my help with anything in the future, don’t hesitate to ask. If it’s something I can do, I’ll do it without a second thought," Jin Xiu said, thumping his chest.

"Hey! No need for you to say all that, Jin! If Captain Lin needs something, he should be looking for our Wolf Hunting Squad! Why would he look for an outsider like you?" Fu Yuan immediately protested, displeased.

Lin Xinghai watched them undercut each other while greeting the other Squad Leaders who came over, getting acquainted with them.

These were all valuable connections. If he joined the military in the future, they might prove to be quite useful.

Seeing that Lin Xinghai was so easy to talk to and didn’t have the arrogant air of other geniuses, the other Squad Leaders all gathered around. They lamented the difficulty of the mission while estimating how much Merit they might receive.

Because a Divine Demon Realm expert had appeared on this mission, its danger level far exceeded the General Staff’s estimates. Under normal circumstances, the teams that carried out the mission would be compensated.

What’s more, they had completed the mission despite the immense pressure, so the compensation this time would definitely be even greater.

Listening to everyone discuss Merit and what they should buy with it to improve themselves, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but become interested as well. He turned to Fu Yuan and started asking questions.

"Captain Lin, I knew you’d be tempted. Many of the third and fourth-year geniuses from your academy are willing to take on missions from our Military Department for the primary purpose of earning this Merit."

"I have a copy of the East Sea Base’s exchange list right here. You can take a look first. It definitely has more good stuff than your academy."

"If you still don’t see anything that catches your eye, you can check the appendix. That lists special resources from other major bases. If you want something, you can also have the military exchange for it on your behalf. Of course, since you’d have to cover the shipping costs, the price will definitely be higher." Fu Yuan immediately opened his wrist-mounted computer and sent a file to Lin Xinghai.

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai’s anticipation grew.

Although the resources available at East Sea Academy were already rare treasures for ordinary people—especially the items from its research institute, which made many non-academy personnel extremely envious...

...how could a single academy compare to the entire East Sea Base? Perhaps the East Sea Campus could surpass the military in certain cutting-edge fields, but in terms of overall resources, it was undoubtedly inferior.

Not to mention that the military here could also contact the Military Departments of other major bases.

This was practically equivalent to being able to buy almost any needed supply from across the entire country, as long as one had enough Merit with the East Sea Military.

Lin Xinghai immediately used his wrist-mounted computer to receive the file and opened it to take a look.

It was an extremely detailed file, over a hundred pages long, listing more than 100,000 different exchangeable items. It covered everything from weapons and Elixirs to Cultivation Techniques.

Lin Xinghai scanned through it, reading ten lines at a glance. He just gave the first several sections a quick look before skipping them, as most of those resources could also be exchanged for at East Sea Academy and held little appeal for him.

So, he flipped directly to the back to look at some of the resources exclusive to the military.

However, he was soon a little disappointed. It wasn’t that the items listed were bad, but rather that he had no use for them at his current level, especially the good stuff specifically supplied to Divine Demon Realm experts.

He also made a quick comparison. At least in terms of Cultivation Resources, the Military Department did indeed have more than East Sea Academy, but they were of little use to him.

Soon, Lin Xinghai finished looking through all the items exchangeable at the East Sea Base. However, he didn’t stop there and went on to check the appendix Fu Yuan had mentioned.

There were very few items in the appendix, only a hundred or so types. This made it hard for Lin Xinghai to believe that these were all the resources available for exchange from the other major bases.

However, after a closer look, he was surprised to find that all the resources listed in the appendix were the latest breakthroughs from the research institutes of the major bases.

Many of the items on it tempted Lin Xinghai, such as the "Micro Cosmic Spaceship" valued at 11,300,000 Merit. Although it was miniature, it was a real spaceship—the kind that could fly out of the atmosphere.

With it, one could easily travel back and forth between the various bases. Its maximum range could even reach the moon, allowing for a round trip.

Another example was the "Energy Laser Cannon," valued at 1,500,000 Merit. According to its description, a single shot from this thing could severely injure a Divine Demon Realm expert who wasn’t specialized in Defense.

Unfortunately, the thing was too cumbersome. Even after being simplified again and again, in order to maintain its lethality, the "Energy Laser Cannon" was still the size of two adults.

More importantly, the amount of Energy it consumed per shot was enormous. It basically required a new Elemental Crystal for every shot fired, making its practical combat value quite low.

Lin Xinghai looked through the items one by one. Soon, his gaze froze, landing on an item named "Toughness Potion."

According to the description, this "Toughness Potion" could make one’s blood vessels and meridians extremely resilient, allowing the body to hold more Blood Qi Power and breaking the natural limit of what the human body could contain.

Lin Xinghai knew immediately that this was what he needed.

Everyone knew that in the Blood Qi Realm, the more Blood Qi Power one had, the better. But everyone had a limit.

This limit was determined by two factors. The first was Perception Power, because one needed to perform a secondary compression of their Blood Qi Power to increase its total amount.

If one’s Perception Power wasn’t strong enough, compression would become extremely difficult, leading to slow Cultivation. It was even possible that later on, when their Blood Qi Power became immense, they would be completely unable to compress it.

Beyond that, the upper limit of one’s Blood Qi Power was also determined by another factor: physical constitution.

After all, no matter how much Blood Qi Power one could cultivate, it still needed a container to be stored in, and that container was undoubtedly the body.

If the body couldn’t withstand it, then no matter how large the total amount of Blood Qi Power was, it would all be for naught.
