Invincible through Touching Corpses

For those on the path to the Divine Demon Realm, the most important aspect of the Marrow Tempering Realm stage was its organ-refining effect.

For an ordinary practitioner in the Body Shaping Realm, however, the most important aspect was the ability to increase their total Blood Qi Power.

Because that was what they lacked the most.

’Jian Hua knew that if he could increase his total Blood Qi Power by 50%, he was confident he could break through the bottleneck at the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm.’

’If his Blood Qi Power total increased by 200%, he even had a fifty percent chance of breaking through to the Divine Demon Realm.’

Once he realized this, he grew progressively more excited—even more so than the students.

...

Meanwhile, after giving his speech to boost everyone’s morale, Lin Xinghai started discussing with Little Fatty how they could secure a high rank.

For most people, competing with practitioners from the Body Shaping Realm for a top spot would be incredibly difficult. Lin Xinghai, however, didn’t see it that way. In fact, he had set his sights on first place from the very start.

’After all, even though he wasn’t in the Body Shaping Realm, he didn’t believe his overall combat strength was any less than someone who was.’

Plus, since he wasn’t in the Body Shaping Realm, he had the advantage of earning double Points. There was no reason he couldn’t take first place.

"Boss, according to the rules of the competition, the maximum team size is a hundred people. Should we join forces with other squads?" Little Fatty asked in a low voice.

This limit on team size was one of the few restrictions in the competition’s Rules.

The reason for this Rule was to prevent large gatherings from attracting the attention of Mutated Zombies. A mass outbreak would be an extremely troublesome situation.

"There’s no need. More people aren’t necessarily better. Teaming up with other squads would likely make them a burden, not a help. Besides, the Xinghai Squad already has fifty members. That’s enough," Lin Xinghai said, shaking his head after a moment of thought.

He had tasked Little Fatty with filling the last five spots in the Xinghai Squad. Little Fatty had been quick about it, giving him a list of five names just last night. All of them were First Class Students from their own class.

Lin Xinghai gave the list a quick glance. After confirming their talents were acceptable, he approved his choices.

"Okay." Little Fatty nodded and then moved on to the next question. "What about weapons? Do we need to make any special preparations?"

Little Fatty hadn’t known the rules for the midterm exam beforehand, so he had only prepared a large bag of weapons for each person. Now that he knew the details, he could really go all out.

If Lin Xinghai needed it, he could have Hongyu Group deliver several truckloads of weapons on the spot.

"Let’s do this. Get two Armored Vehicles so we can change positions easily. That way, I can also use a mobile turret. Also, have them send over a Rare Level Mecha. Better to be safe than sorry. If we run into a Third Level Mutated Zombie, we should be able to hold our own for a bit," Lin Xinghai said.

Little Fatty nodded repeatedly, taking note of each request.

Next, the two discussed what strategy would allow them to earn the most Points.

They ultimately concluded that the optimal solution was to use firearms to kill enemies quickly.

Although using firearms would reduce the Points earned to some extent, it would be significantly faster.

Besides, there was a limit to this reduction; the points earned wouldn’t drop below fifty percent of the base value.

In other words, the total Points gained from killing two Mutated Zombies with a firearm would definitely be more than killing one with a melee weapon.

It was also much safer.

Time flew by as everyone talked. An hour passed quickly, and they could now see Changshi City in the distance from the military transport.

Nearly two-thirds of Changshi City was shrouded in a green, toxic fog.

The green fog was still slowly expanding outward. Of course, the military was releasing a type of white smoke along the perimeter, which neutralized the toxic fog on contact.

"Thank God we’re fighting on the outskirts. If they asked us to go into that green fog to fight, it’d be impossible," Little Fatty sighed at the sight.

After all, the green fog was not only poisonous, but it also obscured their vision and even buffed the Zombies inside to some degree. It was no exaggeration to say the area within the fog was the Zombies’ home turf.

Lin Xinghai was about to say something when a blinding light suddenly flared up at the edge of the green fog. Entire blocks of surrounding houses collapsed as a huge mushroom cloud slowly began to rise.

The terrifying shockwave caused the military transport, over ten thousand meters away, to shake violently.

The students, who had been enthusiastically chatting in the cabin just moments before, stared at the scene with expressions that instantly turned to terror.

"Th-that... That wasn’t a nuke, was it?" Little Fatty stammered.

’If the situation here had really deteriorated to that extent, they wouldn’t even need to get off. They could just turn the transport around and fly straight back.’

"It’s not a nuke," Jian Hua said.

Although his own expression was grim, he forced himself to remain calm and explained, "Our nuclear warheads have a yield of at least 50,000 tons. The blast wouldn’t be this small. If I’m not mistaken, that was a thermobaric bomb."
