Invincible through Touching Corpses

Even now, Jian Hua clearly remembered that after Lin Xinghai stole the show at the last monthly exam, he was invited on stage during the end-of-month summary meeting to share his experience in teaching students with the other class tutors.

That was, without a doubt, his moment of glory.

And it wasn’t just a simple matter of pride. This kind of event could be added to his resume. You had to understand that among tutors, there were also different Levels.

For example, he was currently just an Intermediate Tutor. If he wanted to become a High Level Tutor by following the standard progression, it would take at least five years.

But with Lin Xinghai around, a few more performance bonuses might reduce that time from five years to three, or even less.

It was for this very reason that he was paying extra close attention to Lin Xinghai’s challenge for the Hero Ranking this time.

He didn’t expect Lin Xinghai to reach the top in one go. As long as he could claim the number one spot on the Hero Ranking and break the school record within his freshman year, Jian Hua would be more than satisfied. He would definitely have another moment of glory at the year-end summary.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yan Feijie and the others behind him and said flatly, "You are all Special Class Students. I hope you all work hard and challenge the Hero Ranking this semester. My standards aren’t high. Just getting on the ranking is enough, even if you’re at the very bottom."

Hearing this, Yan Feijie and the others felt a bitter taste in their mouths. ’He calls that not having high standards?’

Under normal circumstances, even for Special Class Students like them, they would probably only be able to challenge their way onto the ranking at the end of their second semester.

After all, everyone on the ranking was a genius. While they were improving, so were their opponents. Catching up would be incredibly difficult.

However, with a Demon like Lin Xinghai setting the precedent, they really couldn’t say anything in protest.

"I know this is difficult for you under normal circumstances, but it’s not entirely without opportunity," Jian Hua said flatly.

"Tutor, what should we do then?" At this, Yan Feijie and the others instantly perked up and hurriedly asked.

"If you want to quickly catch up to those second-year geniuses, the method is actually very simple. You just need to have far more Cultivation Resources than them."

"As for where these resources come from, the answer has always been right in front of you. Even we tutors know about the Xinghai Squad’s income. It absolutely surpasses any other team’s by a wide margin."

"Now it’s up to you to decide what’s more important: your pride or your strength." Jian Hua offered this single piece of advice and said no more.

It wasn’t as if he had never taught talented students before. He knew just how strong their self-esteem could be.

With some things, it was best to say just enough and no more.

After hearing him out, Yan Feijie and the other Special Class Students fell silent. This was definitely a difficult decision for them to make.

However, if the person they had to yield to was a Demon like Lin Xinghai, it wasn’t quite so hard to accept.

While the Special Class Students were still wavering, time slowly passed. Soon, it was 2:00 PM.

Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance. Everyone turned to see the Xinghai Squad flanking Lin Xinghai as they made their way toward the arena.

Seeing this, the crowd of onlookers couldn’t help but part to clear a path.

Lin Xinghai reached the arena and leaped directly onto the platform.

As for other matters, like paying the "Challenge Gold" and other miscellaneous tasks, Little Fatty had already taken care of everything. He was here to clear the gauntlet.

As Lin Xinghai mounted the platform, the tutor in charge of refereeing also walked over. It was Wei Kai, the same tutor who had refereed here last time.

"Student Lin Xinghai, I saw the post you had someone put up on the campus network. Are you really confident you can take the top spot on the Hero Ranking?" Wei Kai couldn’t help but ask curiously after stepping onto the platform.

"Yes, Tutor. I don’t do things I’m not sure about," Lin Xinghai replied with a nod.

"Following the challenge order in your post, I’ve already notified Peng Jashi, ranked 51st. Are you sure you want to begin the challenge now?" After satisfying his curiosity, Wei Kai asked in a serious tone.

He hadn’t notified the higher-ranked students yet—nor could he, as it would show bias. He had to wait for Lin Xinghai to actually win before he could follow procedure and contact them one by one.

"Yes," Lin Xinghai confirmed with a nod.

Wei Kai then looked toward a certain direction below the stage.

Peng Jashi, who was in the audience, was already prepared. When he saw the referee, Wei Kai, look his way, he immediately leaped onto the platform.

"I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon," Peng Jashi said, looking at Lin Xinghai with a complicated expression.

He didn’t know how high Lin Xinghai could climb in the rankings, but they had fought before. The fact that Lin Xinghai still dared to challenge him again meant he was confident this time.

But even if Lin Xinghai could win, he would never let him do it easily.

"Senior, please guide me," Lin Xinghai said politely.

"Alright. Let me see just how much your strength has improved this past month." Peng Jashi took a deep breath, raised his Fine Steel Giant Shield, and readied himself for battle.

But suddenly, he felt something was wrong. He then realized that Lin Xinghai hadn’t brought a weapon onto the platform this time.

"You forgot your weapon," Peng Jashi pointed out.

Lin Xinghai’s first impulse was to retort, "I don’t need a weapon."

However, considering the other party’s decent attitude, he changed his wording. "I’ll be using my Divine Demon Body this time."

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Xinghai said this, Peng Jashi’s attention was immediately diverted.

In fact, it wasn’t just him. Everyone in the audience, including the referee Wei Kai, couldn’t help but fix their gazes on Lin Xinghai.

During his challenge at the previous monthly exam, although Lin Xinghai had lost, he never once used his Divine Demon Body from beginning to end.

This was also why many people believed Lin Xinghai could still fight his way higher. After all, for a normal Blood Qi Realm Martial Artist, the difference in combat power between using and not using a Divine Demon Body was like night and day.

Now, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the muscles in Lin Xinghai’s legs gradually bulged and a keratinous layer grew on his skin. Of course, since he was wearing a Combat Suit, these changes were not visible.

But everyone could clearly see the bolts of lightning that occasionally sparked from Lin Xinghai’s legs with a crackle.

Instantly, a commotion broke out below the stage, as many people recognized that Lin Xinghai was using the forbidden "Thunder Divine Body."

"Are you ready?" Lin Xinghai asked, looking at Peng Jashi.

"Bring it on!" Peng Jashi unleashed his Chaos Divine Body, and a dark Energy Shield materialized over his skin.

Inside the Energy Shield, there was another defensive layer of Blood Qi Power.

Behind the layer of Blood Qi Power was the Fine Steel Giant Shield he held aloft.

On top of all that, his skin instantly turned iron-black with a metallic sheen. This was his Superpower: Skin Metalization.

In the blink of an eye, four layers of defense were complete.

This scene left many people speechless. Although Peng Jashi’s rank on the Hero Ranking wasn’t high, his Defense Power was undeniably one of the best.

Many even speculated that as long as Peng Jashi’s Blood Qi Power broke one thousand and his Physique improved significantly again, the title of number one defender on the Hero Ranking would undoubtedly be his.

Under these circumstances, everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but turn toward Lin Xinghai.

They all wanted to know how Lin Xinghai planned to break through Peng Jashi’s defense this time.
