Chapter 505 - 502: Breakthrough
Lin Xinghai saw no reason to hide this, so he simply nodded. "Yes. I’m already at 190 points of Blood Qi Power."
On the way back, since he had plenty of Blood Qi Power, he had also used Blood Burst Pills to cultivate, which had increased his Blood Qi Power even further.
"190 points is good! Wait, did I mishear you? Did you just say 90 points of Blood Qi Power?" Zuo Wenya asked, sounding astonished and uncertain.
"You heard me right. 190 points," Lin Xinghai said. His expression was serious, with no hint of a joke.
"Doesn’t that mean you’re about to break through to the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage?" Zuo Wenya felt like his brain couldn’t keep up.
"Yes. If all goes well, I might even break through tonight," Lin Xinghai said with a nod.
If it were anyone else, they might have had to wait for their Divine Demon Body progress to catch up. But he had already completely finished cultivating the Blood Qi Realm stage of the Divine Demon Body. Now, he just needed to focus on increasing his Blood Qi Power.
Zuo Wenya looked at his personal disciple standing before him, speechless for a long time.
...
Half an hour later, Lin Xinghai left Zuo Wenya’s residence. Zuo Wenya had promised to handle the matter of the Investigation Technique, so all Lin Xinghai had to do now was cultivate diligently and improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Zuo Wenya stood at his door, watching Lin Xinghai leave. He then took out a military-issue communication device and made a call on an encrypted signal.
"What is it?" a steady, deep voice came from the communication device.
"Seed One should be able to break through to the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage tonight," Zuo Wenya said.
After hearing this, the person on the other end of the communication device was silent for a full minute before speaking. "Is this information confirmed?"
"It’s not confirmed, but that’s what he told me. We’ll know for sure tonight if we observe the aura of a breakthrough. Besides, I don’t think he’s lying. A lie like that would be too easy to expose," Zuo Wenya said.
"Alright! I understand." The call was quickly disconnected from the other end.
Zuo Wenya held the communication device, a slight smile touching his lips. He could tell from the subtle waver in the other person’s tone that they were undoubtedly reeling from the shock.
He could perfectly imagine that as long as Lin Xinghai broke through successfully tonight, the special department’s valuation of him would absolutely rise to another level.
And with that department’s influence, the more outstanding Lin Xinghai’s performance was, the more preferential treatment he would receive, whether at the academy or later in the Military Department.
After leaving Zuo Wenya’s residence, Lin Xinghai didn’t head back to his dorm first. Instead, he went to the resource distribution center.
Zuo Wenya had increased his resource allowance to five million Huaxia Coins a month, effective immediately. This meant he could still claim another 4.5 million Huaxia Coins’ worth of cultivation resources this month.
He had already decided what resources to get. He would use it all to claim Nine Yang Blood Pills.
At 30,000 per pill, Lin Xinghai’s 4.5 million allowance was only enough to claim 150 pills.
Of course, these Nine Yang Blood Pills weren’t for himself. He planned to give all of them to Liu Miaomiao.
With these 150 Nine Yang Blood Pills, Liu Miaomiao would have enough to break through to the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage.
As for himself, he could just continue using Blood Burst Pills. Otherwise, it would be a huge waste to let the system’s Refinement function sit there unused.
Besides, there was another reason he was claiming only Nine Yang Blood Pills: to conceal the existence of his system. If he only cultivated with Blood Burst Pills and still progressed this quickly, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Lin Xinghai soon returned to his dorm. He first went to find Liu Miaomiao, gave her the Nine Yang Blood Pills, and told her about his increased resource allowance.
Initially, Liu Miaomiao’s first reaction upon seeing the Nine Yang Blood Pills from Lin Xinghai was to refuse them. However, when he told her his monthly cultivation allowance had been raised to five million, she thought it over and ultimately accepted.
After all, she was genuinely afraid of her strength falling further and further behind Lin Xinghai’s. Gazing at the 150 Nine Yang Blood Pills on the table, Liu Miaomiao’s eyes filled with tenderness.
Blushing, she grabbed Lin Xinghai, who was about to leave.
...
A full hour later, Lin Xinghai finally emerged from her room.
’I can’t get lost in blissful comfort. I have to keep getting stronger,’ Lin Xinghai reminded himself.
After returning to his room, he immediately poured bags of Low Level Elemental Crystals into his bathtub. Then, he started cultivating while having the system absorb the Elemental Crystals.
This time, Lin Xinghai had taken a total of 50,000 Low Level Elemental Crystals. He had already absorbed over 7,200 of them back at the Dongwu Shelter, and he planned to absorb the rest as quickly as possible.
That way, the system’s Blood Qi Power could quickly recover to over 500,000 points.
Lin Xinghai started cultivating at 2 p.m. and spent a full 11 hours at it. Not only did he absorb all the Low Level Elemental Crystals, but his own Blood Qi Power had long since reached 200 points. He was ready to break through at any moment.
’I’ll sleep after I break through,’ Lin Xinghai thought, glancing at the time. It was already 1 a.m.
For others, a breakthrough—even one to a small realm—was something to be treated with extreme caution.
But Lin Xinghai was different. His foundation was incredibly solid. Back when he was one of the Optimized, he had maxed out all three of his attributes before breaking through. This made his physical constitution stronger and more balanced than any Martial Artist at the same level.
Not to mention, he had also completed the Blood Qi Realm stage of the Divine Demon Body. With his current physical strength, he could withstand not just a breakthrough to the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage, but even a major realm breakthrough from the Blood Qi Realm to the Body Shaping Realm.
Lin Xinghai took out another Blood Burst Pill and tossed it into his mouth. As he condensed more Blood Qi Power, he soon felt an invisible bottleneck obstructing its growth.
He immediately activated his Blood Qi Technique, causing the Blood Qi Power in his body to circulate at high speed and charge toward the invisible bottleneck.
Circulating Blood Qi Power at high speed through the meridians placed a considerable burden on the body. But for Lin Xinghai, this wasn’t a problem at all. His powerful physique gave him ample reserves to draw upon, and his vast Perception Power served as his backstop, allowing him to continuously control his Blood Qi Power and assault the bottleneck with full force again and again.
Just 20 minutes later, the aura around Lin Xinghai suddenly shifted, then began to climb steadily.
From that moment on, he had officially stepped into the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage.
Lin Xinghai opened his system panel and took a look.

Lin Xinghai was quite satisfied with the improvements to his various attributes. Of course, to him, this was just another ordinary step forward.
After finishing his breakthrough, he went to take a shower and sleep.
But to the few soldiers hidden in the corners of the dormitory area, his breakthrough was like a tidal wave crashing down.
They stared at the instruments in their hands that detected Blood Qi Power fluctuations, and it took a long time for their turbulent emotions to calm.
The soldier in the lead took out his communication device and said, "Reporting to the commander, it’s confirmed. Seed One has broken through to the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage."
