Invincible through Touching Corpses

Lin Xinghai looked at his system panel, quite satisfied with this improvement.

After his Blood Qi Power surpassed 1,000 points, every 100-point increase boosted his Three-Phase Attributes by 20 points.

Therefore, when his Blood Qi Power reached 1,900 points, his Three-Phase Attributes had already soared to 830 points.

And the final breakthrough past the 2,000-point Blood Qi Power threshold didn’t disappoint, granting a direct 200-point increase to all of his Three-Phase Attributes.

After all, advancing a single Small Realm within the Blood Qi Realm typically only granted 100 attribute points. His breakthrough past the 2,000-point mark was almost equivalent to someone else advancing two Small Realms.

"My current Attributes are now completely on par with someone in the Early Stage of the Body Shaping Realm." Lin Xinghai clenched his fists, feeling the Power within as excitement filled his eyes.

A normal practitioner in the Early Stage of the Body Shaping Realm has Attributes around 1,000 points. Each subsequent Small Realm adds another 1,000 points, so at the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm, their Three-Phase Attributes are roughly 4,000 points.

Of course, that was for ordinary people. For the geniuses admitted to East Sea Academy, there was usually a considerable boost; it was normal for them to have several hundred extra attribute points upon entering the Body Shaping Realm.

But to possess the physique of a Body Shaping Realm practitioner while still in the Blood Qi Realm—Lin Xinghai was certain he was the one and only.

Lin Xinghai got up and unleashed a gratifying flurry of blows on the Force Tester in the Cultivation Room before sitting back down.

’Alright, let’s see if I can push it a little higher.’

Although his Attributes had already surpassed the 2,000-point mark, that didn’t mean he had reached his limit. If he could still improve, he was more than happy to do so. After all, a stronger foundation meant greater strength in the future.

For example, if he hadn’t laid a perfect foundation during his time as one of the Optimized, he would have never been able to increase his total Blood Qi Power to this extent.

Lin Xinghai swallowed another Blood Burst Pill and circulated his Blood Qi Technique to refine it. These steps were simple. Next, he had to use his Perception Power to compress it.

At this step, Lin Xinghai finally felt some real pressure.

However, thanks to his immense Perception Power, aided by his Object Control Technique, he still completed the step smoothly. Soon, his total Blood Qi Power reached 2,001 points.

"Great. I can still improve. Let’s see just how high I can push this," Lin Xinghai said, licking his lips as he resumed his Cultivation.

’If I can cultivate it to 2,100 points and trigger another boost to my Three-Phase Attributes, that would be ideal.’

Unfortunately, while it was a nice thought, his meridians and blood vessels could no longer bear the strain once his total Blood Qi Power reached 2,033 points.

This time, even taking another Toughness Potion had no effect on his body.

"Looks like this is my true limit. Next, I’ll prepare to break through to the Body Shaping Realm." Lin Xinghai let out a long breath, then took out his wrist-mounted computer and sent a message to Zuo Wenyao.

An event this major, of course, had to be reported to Zuo Wenyao.

Lin Xinghai waited a while with his wrist-mounted computer. When Zuo Wenyao didn’t reply, he wasn’t worried. Instead, he composed another message, this time for Liu Miaomiao, asking her to lunch.

Unlike him, Liu Miaomiao and the others were attending their classes as usual. After all, the academy still taught a great many things.

For example, methods to accelerate Cultivation, techniques for applying Blood Qi Power, practical combat experience, maintenance for equipment like Firearms and Mecha, the weaknesses of various Zombies, and even information about Abyssal Demons—all of it was actually quite useful.

None of this was important to Lin Xinghai, however. As long as he was strong enough, techniques and enemy weaknesses were irrelevant. One fatal strike was all it took.

Liu Miaomiao replied a moment later.

"Ah Xing, how are you free today? Did you finally come out of seclusion? Little Fatty and the others were just saying they haven’t seen their captain in forever. Want to grab a meal together?"

Reading her message, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed. Come to think of it, he had been cultivating for nearly half a month since returning from that Military Department mission.

He had spent almost that entire time in his dorm’s Cultivation Room, so Little Fatty and the others had started teasing him about being in seclusion.

He had even missed Xinghai Squad’s weekly missions, simply asking Liu Miaomiao to lead the team on a few safe ones.

He immediately replied to Liu Miaomiao, telling her he was free and asking her to gather the rest of Xinghai Squad.

’I need to relax for a day or two before my breakthrough anyway, just to get used to my new Power. I’ll take them out to run some missions tomorrow,’ Lin Xinghai mused, rubbing his chin.

Just as he was wondering where to take the team to rack up some Credit Points the next day, his dorm’s doorbell suddenly rang.

"Hm? Who could be visiting at this hour?" A little puzzled, Lin Xinghai went to open the door, only to find Zuo Wenyao standing on his doorstep.

"Instructor Zuo! What are you doing here?" Lin Xinghai asked in surprise.

"Didn’t you message me about your breakthrough? I happened to be in the area, so I came to test your foundation and see if you’ve truly reached your limit," Zuo Wenyao said, his expression stern.

Although Lin Xinghai had told him a month ago that he would be able to break through, and Zuo Wenyao had been mentally prepared, receiving the news now still felt unreal.

That was why he had come.

If Lin Xinghai didn’t meet his standards, he would stop his progress, no matter what.

After all, while a rapid breakthrough was a good thing, one’s foundation was far more important.

Hearing Zuo Wenyao’s words, Lin Xinghai was briefly surprised, but he quickly calmed down and nodded. "Alright, Instructor."

He then led Zuo Wenyao into the Cultivation Room.

"Alright, attack with your full strength. I want to test your explosive power," Zuo Wenyao said, casually seating himself on the sofa after they entered the Cultivation Room.

"Understood." Lin Xinghai nodded again and prepared to mobilize the Blood Qi Power throughout his body.

But just then, Zuo Wenyao raised a hand and pointed to the Mjolnir lying nearby. "Use your weapon. I want to see you at your absolute strongest."

"Alright!" Without hesitating, Lin Xinghai picked up Mjolnir, closed his eyes, and began to channel the over 2,000 points of Blood Qi Power within him.

The next instant, the room erupted in a blinding flash as countless arcs of lightning danced wildly.

Ten seconds later, Zuo Wenyao walked out of the Cultivation Room, his face devoid of expression.

"Not bad. Your foundation is solid. You can prepare for your breakthrough. Let me know when you’re ready, and I’ll stand guard for you." After leaving these instructions, Zuo Wenyao waved his hand and departed, though his retreating figure seemed somewhat hurried.

Watching Zuo Wenyao’s departing figure, Lin Xinghai’s eyes filled with a trace of awe and admiration.

During those ten seconds, he had attacked with frantic abandon, unleashing all of his two-thousand-plus points of Blood Qi Power in a single burst.

Yet all of his attacks had failed to even break through the Blood Qi Barrier Zuo Wenyao had manifested.

"It seems the gap between me and a Divine Demon Realm expert is still immense. I’ll just have to see how much I can close it after breaking through to the Body Shaping Realm," Lin Xinghai muttered under his breath.

He had no idea, however, that the moment Zuo Wenyao stepped out of the room, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and he nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He quickly forced it back down, simultaneously using his immense Perception Power to soothe the Blood Qi Power running rampant within his body.

’Fuck! That explosive Power definitely surpasses the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm. It actually knocked my Blood Qi Power into reverse. What a little freak!’
