Invincible through Touching Corpses

Lin Xinghai wasn’t worried about his Perception Power. After all, for geniuses of the same level, their Perception Power typically maxed out, allowing them to scan an area of about 600 meters at most.

But he could already scan a 2,000-meter range, which was far superior to those top-tier geniuses.

What’s more, he had the Object Control Technique, a Secret Technique, to assist him. Therefore, when it came to compressing Blood Qi Power, he was far ahead of anyone else.

However, his Physique was a different matter. Although he had broken through to the Blood Qi Realm only after reaching Perfection in all three Attributes, making him stronger than any other in the Blood Qi Realm.

But this strength was limited.

After all, at the stage of the Optimized, even maxed-out Attributes were only 100 points. Others had at least one full Attribute, with the other two at 80 or 90 points.

In other words, the combined gap in the other two Attributes was only about 30 to 40 points.

While this gap would widen as his Cultivation increased, the amplification was also limited.

A typical genius, at the Blood Qi Realm stage, could increase their total Blood Qi Power to over 1,000 points.

The most elite geniuses, like those Special Class Students, could generally raise it to the 1,300 to 1,500-point range.

This was precisely why Zuo Wenyao had initially estimated Lin Xinghai’s total Blood Qi Power to be around 1,500 points.

Because this was a level that any top-tier genius could reach if they were willing to spend the time grinding for it.

However, since Lin Xinghai had advanced from the Optimized stage in a perfect state, he estimated that, compared to a typical top-tier genius, his body could hold a greater total amount of Blood Qi Power, though it probably wouldn’t exceed 1,700 points.

Lin Xinghai carefully read the description of the Toughness Potion.

The effects of this newly developed potion varied depending on the user’s specific physical condition.

According to statistics from over a hundred volunteers, each vial of Toughness Potion increased the upper limit of one’s Blood Qi Power capacity by an amount ranging from 50 to 100 points.

However, the potion caused resistance; its effects diminished with each dose. For the vast majority of people, it had no effect at all after the third vial.

Therefore, three vials in total would increase one’s total Blood Qi Power by approximately 150 to 250 points.

But Lin Xinghai knew his Physique was extraordinary. ’Perhaps it’ll have an even better effect on me,’ he thought. ’If so, my total Blood Qi Power might just break through 2,000 points.’

’Breaking 1,000 points of Blood Qi Power gives the body a boost equivalent to breaking through a Small Realm.’

’So, if my total Blood Qi Power breaks 2,000 points, the boost will surely be even greater.’

At this thought, he immediately looked at Fu Yuan beside him and asked, "How do I go about buying this Toughness Potion?"

Fu Yuan turned his head, glanced at the information for the Toughness Potion, and looked a bit puzzled at first. But then he seemed to realize something and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. "I bet this potion was developed specifically for geniuses like you."

As he spoke, he pointed to the notes below the description. "If it’s something we already have at our base, you can just log into the internal network at the Military Department headquarters when we get back and buy it."

"But this Toughness Potion you want, according to the description, was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shangjing City. You’ll need to submit an application, but with the contributions you’ve made, it should just be a formality. In the end, it all comes down to whether you have enough Merit."

"Also, we’re too far from Shangjing City. I estimate you’ll have to pay an extra 3,000 Merit for shipping alone."

Fu Yuan almost winced as he said that. He felt that the Merit he earned from an entire mission might not even be enough to cover that shipping fee.

Lin Xinghai first nodded, then asked, "If I buy several vials and have them all shipped together, would the shipping cost be the same?"

"That’s right, as long as you can afford the Merit." Fu Yuan glanced at the price, saw the words "20,000 Merit per vial," and didn’t dare to look a second time.

He’d have to save up Merit for more than half a year just to buy one vial of that potion. Looking at it now would only upset him.

Of course, even if he had the extra Merit, he wouldn’t do it. For people like them, there was no point in stockpiling Blood Qi Power.

For those with less talent, it was better to focus their resources on breaking through to the Body Shaping Realm as quickly as possible rather than wasting time on this.

"So, based on your estimate, about how much Merit will I get from this mission?" Lin Xinghai continued to ask.

He was also worried he wouldn’t have enough Merit. After all, he wanted to buy not just one vial, but three, or even more.

At the mention of the Merit from this mission, Fu Yuan instantly perked up.

"This mission, I’d say the Wolf Hunting Squad performed exceptionally well. We also took control of an extra central control system, and on top of that, there’s compensation for the appearance of a Divine Demon Realm expert. I estimate our entire squad will get around 60,000 Merit from this trip."

"Out of that 60,000 Merit, you should be able to take the lion’s share. Of course, the exact split will only be finalized after the logistics department reviews our battlefield recorders. I’d estimate your share of the Merit will be around 40,000."

"On top of that, you’ll get extra Merit bonuses for killing the three at the Body Shaping Realm. A Body Shaping Realm Early Stage is 10,000 Merit, Middle Stage is 20,000, Late Stage is 40,000, and Peak is 80,000."

"You killed two at the Early Stage and one at the Late Stage. That’s 60,000 right there. Add that to the 40,000 from the mission, and you’ll get a whopping 100,000 Merit from this one trip." As Fu Yuan spoke, his eyes were practically glowing green with envy.

You have to understand, for a special operations squad like theirs, a normal mission would only net the entire team about 10,000 to 20,000 Merit. Split evenly, that’s only one or two thousand per person.

The Merit Lin Xinghai earned from one mission was equivalent to what Fu Yuan would get from dozens of missions.

Hearing Fu Yuan’s analysis, the others all looked at Lin Xinghai with gazes mixed with envy, resentment, and a touch of sorrow.

Being stared at like that, Lin Xinghai suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He cleared his throat and quickly tried to divert their attention. "No need to be so envious, everyone. Once you break through to the Body Shaping Realm, the speed at which you earn Points will definitely be faster."

"By then, killing a single Body Shaping Realm Early Stage will get you at least 10,000 Merit. Kill a few more, and you’ll have an income like mine, right?"

Hearing this, everyone nodded almost in unison, but after a moment’s reflection, they all stared at Lin Xinghai, completely speechless.

’What does he think Body Shaping Realm experts are? ATMs?’

’Besides, even if we really did break through to the Body Shaping Realm, if we fought an expert like that, it’s hard to say who would be killing whom!’
