Invincible through Touching Corpses

Watching Yan Feijie get defeated, Little Fatty sighed with great regret.

"He’s the one who was defeated. What are you sighing about?" Lin Xinghai asked, a little curious.

"I’m not sighing for him, I’m sighing for myself. It would be so much better if our flight altitude wasn’t restricted!" Little Fatty said wistfully.

Lin Xinghai was left speechless. He remembered that Little Fatty’s Hurricane Superpower could, just barely, allow him to fly.

Of course, Yan Feijie’s challenge was just a minor interlude in this assessment. As the next student took to the stage, the crowd’s attention quickly shifted.

As student after student took to the stage, Little Fatty soon couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Boss, I want to give it a try," Little Fatty said.

"Go for it! Good luck," Lin Xinghai encouraged.

After receiving the encouragement, Little Fatty immediately got on the stage as soon as the previous student’s challenge ended.

Before the referee on the stage could even ask, he announced loudly, "I want to challenge Senior Yan Sha."

Hearing his name called, Yan Sha stood up with a sense of resignation.

Of the ten Hero Ranking students present, he was the one who had been challenged the most times.

The reason was simple: he specialized in defense, which meant his Attack Power was the weakest.

Because of this, for students who aimed to win their challenge by stalling for time, he was naturally the top choice.

Yan Sha took the stage. Looking at Little Fatty across from him, who was holding a Vajra Giant Shield over a meter wide, he could already feel a headache coming on.

He, in turn, took out the weapon he had just recently acquired: a Big Iron Hammer.

He had borrowed it on short notice specifically to increase his Attack Power. Otherwise, if he went up carrying his own shield, there would be no way to fight.

As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Yan Sha immediately unleashed his Black Rock Demon Body. The Defense Power of this particular Divine Demon Body was second only to the Chaos Divine Body. Moreover, the Rock Superpower Yan Sha had mastered allowed him to add an extra layer of Rock Armor to his body. With both stacked, his Defense Power was much stronger than that of a pure Chaos Divine Body.

This time, however, he didn’t use his Rock Superpower to increase his defense. Instead, he controlled the rocks to shoot directly at Little Fatty, turning a control-type Superpower into an offensive one.

This change naturally reduced its power, but the damage from Yan Sha’s rock attack was secondary. Its main purpose was just to slow Little Fatty’s advance.

Meanwhile, Little Fatty instantly released his Chaos Divine Body. With the dual protection from his Chaos Divine Body and the Fine Steel Giant Shield, the incoming rocks didn’t cause him much harm.

At the same time, his Hurricane Superpower wasn’t just for show. He used it to propel himself forward while also diverting some of his attention to slow his opponent’s advance.

Seeing this maneuver, even Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but marvel. ’Such a clever tactic.’

Although Yan Sha was faster than Little Fatty, he never expected that someone who had mastered a Wind Superpower would actually choose to take a defensive route.

But there was no denying that Little Fatty’s agility was far superior to that of other Defensive Superpower Users.

Even for someone like him at the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm, chasing him proved to be quite difficult. Even when he did catch up, he couldn’t defeat Little Fatty instantly. Little Fatty had his Protective Spirit Light and his Fine Steel Giant Shield, and if worse came to worst, he could even use his Blood Qi Power to defend.

With all these layers of protection, Little Fatty was able to withstand Yan Sha’s attacks for a short time.

And he wasn’t one to just stand there and take a beating. Basically, every time Yan Sha attacked, he used the force of the blow to pull back and continue his escape.

In this manner, Little Fatty managed to stall his opponent for a full 40 seconds before he was finally defeated, his Blood Qi Power completely exhausted.

He also earned an average score of 80.

Although this couldn’t compare to the Special Class Students, it was still quite good compared to the other students.

After Little Fatty came down from the stage, Sun Tianbo and Xie Shangyong also had their turns.

Xie Shanyong’s Superpower was vines, so he also chose a stalling strategy, and his results weren’t bad; he scored an average of 77.

As for Sun Tianbo, his Superpower was Fireball, and his Divine Demon Body was also offense-oriented. He could only choose an opponent with weaker Defense Power and trade damage with them.

He ultimately succeeded in breaking through their defense and earned an average score of 75.

Following that, the members of the Xinghai Squad took to the stage one after another. Without exception, their performances were all quite good, and the vast majority of them passed.

Even the few who failed gave commendable performances.

Overall, compared to the other small groups, a noticeable gap in ability had already formed in just one month’s time.

Their performance was so good that it even surprised Jian Hua, causing him to frequently glance over at Lin Xinghai.

Lin Xinghai, however, remained calm. ’Considering the resources I provided to the Xinghai Squad,’ he thought, ’it would be stranger if they *didn’t* perform this well.’

As student after student took their turn, it was soon time for Jin Tong.

As Jin Tong took the stage, he was obviously quite nervous.

He had followed Lin Xinghai all this way, and being Jin Canlan’s nephew, he had received a great deal of special attention from him.

But his talent lagged behind the others; if he had relied on his own strength, he wouldn’t have even qualified to get into East Sea Academy.

Thus, his rate of progress was relatively slow compared to the others; he had only just broken through to the Blood Qi Realm Middle Stage yesterday.

But thanks to Lin Xinghai’s patronage, he had become one of this year’s Special Class Students. The pressure of stepping onto the stage with such a title was immense, as one might imagine.

"Relax. You’re a burst-damage fighter, so these rules are actually quite advantageous for you. As long as you unleash your full strength, your score won’t be bad."

"Besides, worst-case scenario, it doesn’t matter if you bomb the test. As long as you’re a member of my Xinghai Squad, the resources you receive won’t be much worse than what an ordinary Special Class Student gets," Lin Xinghai said comfortingly.

Hearing this, Jin Tong’s state of mind instantly stabilized. He nodded gratefully toward Lin Xinghai; those words had indeed taken more than half the pressure off his shoulders.

With most of his worries assuaged, his confidence returned. He stepped onto the stage and chose a pure offense-type opponent: Kong Haozhong.

His opponent’s Superpower was to transform into a cheetah, and with the amplification from his Divine Demon Body, his killing power was on a terrifying level.

But at the same time, since all of his abilities were focused on amplifying his Attack Power, his Defense Power was also quite weak. Breaking through his defenses was the easiest part.

Of course, you would only get one chance to attack him.

Because among all the students who had challenged him, not a single one had been able to get back up after a single head-on clash.

"Heh, someone actually dared to pick me. You’ve got guts, kid," Kong Haozhong said with a smile, but his eyes were as cold as ever.

"I’m ready for your lesson, Senior," Jin Tong said simply, drawing the Alloy Great Saber from his back.
