Invincible through Touching Corpses

Not many people noticed the change in Wei Kai’s attitude toward Lin Xinghai.

Because as Lin Xinghai spoke, many people’s gazes fell upon a specific area in the arena.

The posts Little Fatty had made had long since spread. These students on the ranking, although they didn’t believe Lin Xinghai could reach the top, would still come to watch his fights since he might be a future opponent.

Right now, the place everyone was looking at was precisely where Gu Yongde was standing.

Gu Yongde’s expression wasn’t very pleasant at the moment. He had already mentally prepared for the possibility of facing Lin Xinghai.

However, his impression of Lin Xinghai was still stuck on the combat footage from a month ago.

Without a doubt, Lin Xinghai’s Blood Qi Power was his weak point back then.

But now, not only was that weakness gone, his Attack Power had also become terrifyingly formidable.

However, with everyone watching him, he gritted his teeth and walked toward the arena.

"I look forward to your guidance, junior," Gu Yongde said, planning to show weakness to his opponent.

"I wouldn’t dare presume to guide you. We’re just learning from each other," Lin Xinghai replied politely.

The corner of Gu Yongde’s mouth twitched. He didn’t expect someone so strong to also be so courteous.

He said no more, requested two Fine Steel Great Sabers, and stood on the other side of the arena with his weapons in hand.

As an offensive-type fighter, he knew very well that he had no chance to stall for time.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely without hope of winning. Although Lin Xinghai’s Speed was fast and his Attack Power was frightening, he wasn’t without weaknesses—namely, his insufficient Defense Power.

And what he excelled at most was attacking. If his opponent got careless and he seized the opportunity, he believed that with his explosive power, even if he couldn’t take him out in one go, he could definitely inflict heavy damage.

So, after the referee signaled for them to get ready, Gu Yongde took a deep breath and instantly activated his Superpower and Divine Demon Body. His arms grew thicker and stronger, and a layer of flames appeared around his body, gathering on his two Great Sabers.

Gu Yongde silently encouraged himself, ’You can do this. As long as you land one hit, you might be able to pull off an upset.’

His eyes were locked on Lin Xinghai, as if he planned to find an opening right from the start.

At that moment, Wei Kai, acting as the referee, raised his hand. "Begin!"

As Wei Kai’s voice fell, Gu Yongde’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Because Lin Xinghai, whom he had been staring at intently, had vanished from before his very eyes.

’What’s going on?’ Gu Yongde was horrified.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he vaguely guessed what was happening.

But he had no time to react at all. In that same instant, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. The layer of Blood Qi Power on his body’s surface was like paper; it offered no protection whatsoever. His vision went black, and he passed out.

"Uh... his Defense is that weak?" Lin Xinghai was a little embarrassed. He had completely overestimated his opponent’s Defense Power. Thankfully, he had pulled back the force of his kick at the last moment. Otherwise, the man wouldn’t have just passed out—it would’ve been a concussion at the very least.

Meanwhile, the referee, Wei Kai, said nothing. His heart was filled with nothing but shock.

It wasn’t just him; nearly all the instructors who had come to watch were silent.

Although Lin Xinghai had previously displayed terrifying Speed—enough to even surpass those in the Body Shaping Realm—they could still understand it. After all, geniuses were expected to surpass ordinary people.

But in that instant, even they, experts of the Body Shaping Realm, couldn’t track Lin Xinghai’s movements.

That Speed had definitely reached the level of the Divine Demon Realm.

A Blood Qi Realm student possessing the Speed of the Divine Demon Realm—this could no longer be described with words like "genius" or "demon."

This simply defied all common sense. One could even say it overturned their entire worldview.

If the instructors were this silent, there was no need to even mention the spectating students.

While the Body Shaping Realm experts couldn’t track Lin Xinghai’s figure, they could at least see some afterimages. But these ordinary Blood Qi Realm students couldn’t even see that.

In their eyes, Lin Xinghai had completely vanished for an instant, only to reappear behind Gu Yongde.

It looked just like Instant Teleportation.

This was completely impossible to fight. After all, if they couldn’t even see Lin Xinghai’s figure, what were they supposed to attack? Thin air?

Lin Xinghai wasn’t surprised by everyone’s reaction. Just now was the first time he had unleashed his full Speed in his current state.

After all, his base Speed was now 1,033 points. After using Thunderbolt Step, his base Speed doubled to 2,066 points.

With the additional 1,000-point bonus from his Thunder Divine Body, his Speed reached 3,066 points.

And when he unleashed his Time Acceleration Ability, his Speed, in the eyes of others, was equivalent to 30,660 points.

A Speed of over 30,000 points was almost comparable to the Divine Demon Realm Late Stage. It would be a miracle if anyone present could see him clearly.

If he had possessed such Speed back during the encirclement of the underground base, he would have handled the situation with far more ease. He might have even tried to engage Raphael in close combat.

"Instructor Wei, I request to challenge Senior Wei Gaojie, ranked 31st," Lin Xinghai said, pulling his thoughts back to the present.

"Uh... alright." Hearing Lin Xinghai speak, Wei Kai quickly snapped back to his senses and replied.

He then quickly had the instructors in charge of medical treatment come up to carry Gu Yongde away. At the same time, he rapidly scanned the students below to see if that Wei Gaojie was present.

"I forfeit!" Just then, a voice came from the crowd.

The students, who were just coming to their senses, looked toward the source of the voice and discovered it was none other than Wei Gaojie.

"He forfeited just like that?"

"It’s impossible to win. What else could he do? Go up there to get beaten up and then lose? Wouldn’t that just be asking for it?"

"I also think forfeiting was the smart move. If you don’t believe me, just look at the expressions on the instructors’ faces. Let that sink in."

The arena immediately erupted in discussion, but very few people questioned Wei Gaojie’s decision to forfeit.

Having been a referee for so long, this was the first time Wei Kai had encountered such a situation. After all, which genius on the Hero Ranking wasn’t full of pride? Even if they couldn’t win, they would definitely try to take a bite out of their opponent.

But this time, facing Lin Xinghai...

However, Wei Kai didn’t say anything and simply followed procedure, declaring Lin Xinghai the winner.

Before Lin Xinghai could even speak again, the students ranked 21st and 11th on the Hero Ranking also successively announced their forfeiture.

"So dominant!"

"Don’t tell me he’s going to reach the top just like this! I came here to see a peak showdown!"

"If I hadn’t watched this from the very beginning, I would’ve thought this was a fixed match."

As everyone discussed, they couldn’t help but focus their gazes on Cheng Tian.

They all wanted to know if this number one on the Hero Ranking would also surrender directly, letting Lin Xinghai take the top spot with ease.
