Invincible through Touching Corpses

Of course, Lin Xinghai knew nothing of the little episode that had just occurred outside his door.

After casually swallowing two Blood Burst Pills to restore his body’s Blood Qi Power, he headed out to the cafeteria.

This time, Lin Xinghai didn’t stop on the first or second floor of the cafeteria, but went straight to the third.

The third-floor cafeteria was fundamentally different from the first two floors because you didn’t pay with Huaxia Coins here—you paid with Credit Points.

Moreover, the dishes sold here were outrageously expensive. Of course, in return, the meat they used was highly nourishing.

As a result, it had become a favorite spot for upperclassmen. A single meal on the third floor could cost hundreds of Credit Points, so the average student truly couldn’t afford it.

However, since they started following Lin Xinghai, the members of the Xinghai Squad earned no less than those upperclassmen. Coming up for a good meal once in a while was no problem at all.

"Everyone’s here! How have you all been?" Lin Xinghai glanced at the group and sat down at the head of the table with a smile.

"Not so great, Boss! We’re almost out of Cultivation Resources," Little Fatty said, feigning a pitiful expression.

Lin Xinghai shot him a look. Anyone else in their squad might be short on Cultivation Resources, but not Little Fatty, the heir to the Hongyu Group.

However, he understood that Little Fatty was probably speaking on behalf of the others.

So, after pondering for a moment, he said, "If that’s the case, I’ll be free tomorrow. I can take you all out on a mission."

"Go make the preparations. Remember to bring enough Combat Robots to collect Elemental Crystals. Oh, and get me two Heavy Machine Guns that are belt-fed. That’ll save us the time it takes to change magazines."

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s plan, everyone’s eyes lit up. Little Fatty was especially excited and said, "Alright, I guarantee I’ll get it done!"

Just then, Little Fatty’s dishes arrived, and the group chatted as they ate.

Lin Xinghai also asked if anything noteworthy had happened during the half-month he was in seclusion.

And Little Fatty, their resident "know-it-all," did indeed have many interesting stories to share. For instance, Yan Feijie and his group, unwilling to give up, had challenged the Hero Ranking again, only to get thoroughly crushed just like before.

Another story was about a powerful team of third and fourth-year students who suffered heavy losses during a mission, drawing the attention of the school’s upper management.

Lin Xinghai just listened to these stories in silence.

To Little Fatty and the others, these were so-called "major events," but in Lin Xinghai’s view, they were nothing special. It even felt a bit like watching children play house.

’Once I break through to the Body Shaping Realm, the gap between me and them will probably grow even wider. Perhaps only Liu Miaomiao will be able to barely keep up with my pace.’

Through their conversation, he learned that only Liu Miaomiao was still progressing rapidly and was not far from the Peak of Blood Qi Realm.

As for the others, they were still stuck in the Blood Qi Realm Middle Stage. Under normal circumstances, their cultivation speed would slow down with each minor level they broke through.

It would take them until at least next semester to have a chance at reaching the Peak of Blood Qi Realm, and even reaching that peak was just the beginning.

Unless they were content with mediocrity and broke through as soon as they reached 500 points of Blood Qi Power, increasing their total Blood Qi Power later on would be the truly difficult part.

Just then, Little Fatty swallowed a mouthful of beef and asked curiously, "Boss, you were in seclusion for half a month. How much has your strength increased?"

Everyone else was extremely curious about this as well, and all eyes focused on Lin Xinghai.

"It’s hard to say exactly how much I’ve improved, but I’m about to break through," Lin Xinghai said with a smile.

"Break through?" Little Fatty was confused for a second, but then his eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss, are you about to break through to the Body Shaping Realm?"

"Mhm," Lin Xinghai nodded calmly.

Even though everyone had some idea of Lin Xinghai’s monstrous cultivation speed, they were still severely shaken by this news.

It had only been two months since the school year started! Breaking through to the Body Shaping Realm already... Was he even giving anyone else a chance to live?

"Ah Xing, have you cultivated your total Blood Qi Power to its limit?" Liu Miaomiao, however, was focused on a different question.

As a genius herself, and with guidance from her Divine Demon Realm mentor, Wen Qiuying, she knew very well that the most important thing in the Blood Qi Realm wasn’t who broke through first, but who had the more solid foundation.

After all, many third-year Special Class Students had yet to break through to the Body Shaping Realm. In contrast, many First and Second Class Students had already done so.

This wasn’t because they couldn’t break through, but because they were all suppressing their cultivation to continuously increase their total Blood Qi Power and build a more solid foundation.

She had heard from Wen Qiuying that the total amount of Blood Qi Power one accumulated in the Blood Qi Realm would directly affect the strength of their remolded body in the Body Shaping Realm.

"Don’t worry. When it comes to total Blood Qi Power, I’m confident no one has more than me." Lin Xinghai knew what Liu Miaomiao was worried about and immediately replied with a smile.

"That’s incredible!" Liu Miaomiao’s red lips parted slightly, but in the end, she could only manage to say those two words.

Since Lin Xinghai said so, his Blood Qi Power must certainly be above 1,500 points. Her own total Blood Qi Power, however, was not even 400 points yet. This made her feel an even stronger sense of urgency.

The others, however, were focused on something different from Liu Miaomiao.

Hearing what Lin Xinghai said, Little Fatty immediately asked, "Boss, doesn’t that mean you’re the strongest person in the Blood Qi Realm now?"

"Mhm," Lin Xinghai nodded. ’When comparing me to others in the Blood Qi Realm, there’s no way for me to be modest even if I wanted to be!’

"Then you should hurry up and challenge the Hero Ranking! Mid-terms are just around the corner, so everyone’s back at the academy. If you miss this chance, you won’t be able to participate once you enter the Body Shaping Realm," Little Fatty said hurriedly.

Originally, Lin Xinghai wanted to say he wasn’t interested. After all, the people he was comparing himself to now were at the Body Shaping Realm Level at least. But seeing the expectant looks from his squad members, he finally nodded. "Alright, I’ll go challenge it this afternoon."

"Awesome, Boss! I’ll go make the arrangements for you right away," Little Fatty said, pumping his fist in excitement.

"Arrange what?" Lin Xinghai asked, a bit curious.

"To build up the hype, of course! You have no idea, Boss. Ever since your narrow defeat to Peng Jashi, who’s ranked 51st, countless people have been feeling sorry for you. At the same time, so many are looking forward to seeing how high you can climb this month!"

"If you take first place on the Hero Ranking, the reputation of our Xinghai Squad will be completely cemented."

As Little Fatty spoke, he opened his wrist-computer, logged into the academy’s intranet, went to the public forums, and opened his golden account.

After thinking for a moment, he quickly wrote up and posted several threads at once. Then, like the rich kid he was, he threw some money at them to get them pinned to the top.

"The Battle for the Summit"

"History in the Making"

"A Freshman’s Path to Godhood"

The moment the threads were posted, it was like a bombshell had been dropped on the academy’s intranet. The news that Lin Xinghai was going to challenge the Hero Ranking again spread like wildfire.
