Chapter 475 - 472: Changes in Strength
Lin Xinghai didn’t want to wait a whole hour before conducting the test.
So, he took out a Body Tempering Pill. After a moment of thought, he used a small knife to cut off one-tenth of it and swallowed it.
In an instant, a vast medicinal power spread out. However, this time, Lin Xinghai didn’t circulate his Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation Technique to absorb it. Instead, he let the medicinal power diffuse throughout his entire body.
After the cells in his body absorbed this medicinal power, the rate at which they produced Blood Qi Power skyrocketed instantly.
He could generate almost 1 point of Blood Qi Power every minute.
At this rate, the time it would take for Lin Xinghai to fully recover his Blood Qi Power would be reduced from one hour to just ten minutes.
However, Lin Xinghai knew that this speed wasn’t actually that fast, because the medicinal power within the Body Tempering Pill was mainly used for strengthening the body.
To quickly increase his Blood Qi Power, the best method was, of course, to use elixirs that could replenish it.
If he had used the money for the Body Tempering Pill to buy an elixir of the same price meant for replenishing Blood Qi Power, Lin Xinghai would only need a minute at most to completely restore all the Blood Qi Power in his body.
Moreover, he wouldn’t have needed a tenth of it at all; 1% would have likely been enough.
Of course, since he was in a hurry to test his abilities, he wasn’t going to fuss over such details now.
Soon, ten minutes passed. Once the Blood Qi Power in his body was fully restored, Lin Xinghai began preparing to test his Attack Power.
He walked up to an extremely large and cumbersome power testing machine. The device looked somewhat like a huge drum, but magnified several times over.
This "great drum" was made entirely of metal. To test one’s Attack Power, one simply had to strike the "drumhead."
Of course, the "drumhead" of this power testing machine wasn’t made of a soft material like cowhide, but was a solid slab of high-strength Alloy.
Lin Xinghai warmed up his body a bit, then flashed forward and threw a kick.
Following a low boom, the power testing machine immediately displayed the number 215.
This meant that the Power of Lin Xinghai’s kick had reached a full 215 points.
As for why there were an extra 15 points of Power, it was clearly generated by the added Speed from his flashing movement.
After confirming there was no issue with the power testing machine, Lin Xinghai unleashed his Divine Demon Body again and viciously kicked out.
BOOM!
The boom this time was clearly several times stronger than before, and the spot on the testing machine that was struck actually caved in slightly.
The machine instantly displayed the Power of Lin Xinghai’s strike, which had directly reached a shocking 1208 points.
Activating any Divine Demon Body provides a comprehensive boost to all physical Attributes. The Thunder Divine Body, as one of the best among them, offered a particularly massive enhancement compared to other Divine Demon Bodies.
Upon activation, Lin Xinghai could increase his Power by 1000 points, Speed by 1000 points, and Physique by 500 points.
In contrast, a typical Divine Demon Body only provided boosts of 400 to 600 points for each attribute.
Looking at the number displayed on the power testing machine, Lin Xinghai was quite satisfied.
But he didn’t stop. Instead, he took two steps back and launched another vicious kick.
This time, as he kicked out, streaks of lightning instantly appeared on the surface of his already transformed Divine Demon leg. Under Lin Xinghai’s control, they gathered at the point of impact on the sole of his foot.
BOOM!
The moment Lin Xinghai’s foot struck the Alloy plate, countless bolts of lightning erupted. The special Alloy surface of the power testing machine instantly and noticeably caved in, and the point of impact was scorched black.
The entire power testing machine flickered several times before displaying the number 1700.
Such an explosive burst of Power had already surpassed that of a normal Body Shaping Realm Early Stage expert, approaching the level of the Body Shaping Realm Middle Stage.
Moreover, Lin Xinghai knew this wasn’t even his limit. The main reason was that he hadn’t injected enough Blood Qi Power.
In fact, he had already completed the Fourth Stage of Cultivation for the Thunder Divine Body. Each attack could accommodate at least 100 points of Blood Qi Power.
But he had just injected a maximum of only 8 points of Blood Qi Power into that kick.
Otherwise, the explosive Thunder Power could have been at least ten times greater.
And the erupted Thunder Power wasn’t just about pure Attack Power.
When a human body is struck by such terrifying lightning, it can become paralyzed, causing slowed movements. For those with weaker Defense Power, it was normal to be completely immobilized.
With Lin Xinghai’s Speed, whether the opponent was paralyzed or immobilized, it would be absolutely fatal.
’With my current Speed and Power, I should be able to hold my own even against an expert at the Body Shaping Realm Early Stage.’
’But my stamina is too weak. If I go all out, my Blood Qi Power will be depleted in just a few moves,’ Lin Xinghai mused.
As for Martial Artists in the Blood Qi Realm, Lin Xinghai had no interest in comparing himself to them at all.
After testing his Speed and Power, Lin Xinghai thought for a moment, opened the system panel, and spent 10,000 points of Blood Qi Power to max out his proficiency in Intermediate Shooting Skill.
Instantly, a massive amount of skill transformed into knowledge and exploded in his mind. At the level of Intermediate Shooting Skill, the improvement was no longer in the skill of using Firearms, but in the skill of using Perception Power.
Upon completely mastering Intermediate Shooting Skill, he could directly control bullets that had already been fired.
Of course, this control didn’t mean he could make a bullet fly however he wished. He could only adjust its trajectory, for example, making a bullet fired in a straight line fly in an arc.
But even a change like this was enough to raise the threat level of his bullets by an entire tier.
At least for Lin Xinghai, even if someone could preemptively dodge, he could alter the bullet’s trajectory based on their direction of evasion. Unless their speed could surpass the bullet’s, there was no way to escape.
Additionally, after fully mastering Intermediate Shooting Skill, many obstacles and fortifications were rendered useless before him. He could completely make his bullets "take a detour."
Of course, after he had fully mastered Intermediate Shooting Skill, Lin Xinghai discovered that there was indeed a High Level Shooting Skill after it.
However, he couldn’t learn this High Level Shooting Skill yet; he needed his Perception Power to undergo another qualitative change.
And to wait for that next qualitative change, according to the information Lin Xinghai had gathered recently, he would need to reach at least the Divine Demon Realm. For the short term, he didn’t need to consider it.
After upgrading his Intermediate Shooting Skill, Lin Xinghai spent another 5,000 points of Blood Qi Power to raise his Wind and Thunder Spear Technique from "Entry Level" to "Minor Success."
Although the Thunder Divine Body came with the Martial Art, Thunder God Spear, the problem was that learning it required him to perform a Divine Demon Transformation on both of his hands to use it. Lin Xinghai could only wait until he reached the Body Shaping Realm to learn it.
At his current stage in the Blood Qi Realm, his main method of attack was still the Wind and Thunder Spear Technique.
Lin Xinghai also tested it. Without using Blood Qi Power to assist, the Wind and Thunder Spear Technique could still produce 700 points of Power.
Although this was far from comparable to a casual kick after activating his Divine Demon Body, as a conventional means of attack, it was quite good.
What Lin Xinghai found regrettable, however, was that since he could only use his Divine Demon Body on his legs, his hands didn’t get the superimposed Power. This meant he couldn’t borrow the Power of his Divine Demon Body when using the Wind and Thunder Spear Technique.
After upgrading all the Martial Arts he could in one go, Lin Xinghai immediately opened his system panel.
