Chapter 465 - 463: The Astonished Mentors
To Lin Xinghai’s relief, the pain came as quickly as it went.
The vast Blood Qi Power provided by the System only roamed a single circuit in his body before rushing toward the Genetic Lock within him.
Without any suspense, the final Genetic Lock, under the impact of this vast Blood Qi Power from the System, seemed to be made of paper mache and was instantly shattered.
As the last Genetic Lock was broken, Lin Xinghai immediately felt a faint sense of restraint in his body disappear.
However, for others, simply breaking the Genetic Lock was a cause for great celebration.
But for Lin Xinghai, this was only the beginning.
The vast Energy from the System didn’t dissipate at all after breaking through the Genetic Lock. Instead, it continued to annihilate the Genetic Lock, moving toward a deeper genetic level.
The sensation was very peculiar. It was as if when others broke through, they only needed to punch a hole in the wall of the room that confined them and walk out.
But with the System, it wasn’t as simple as just punching a hole. It was about tearing down all the surrounding walls.
Under the effect of the immense Blood Qi Power, the "wall demolition" was also incredibly fast. Lin Xinghai could feel the remnants of the Genetic Locks inside his body being obliterated, inch by inch.
And it wasn’t just this one Genetic Lock. The few Genetic Locks he had broken before, which had hidden themselves away after being shattered, had nowhere to hide from the powerful System. They were directly sought out and then obliterated, inch by inch.
These shattered fragments of the Genetic Locks then decomposed into streams of a pure, peculiar Energy.
This peculiar Energy quickly split into two.
One part surged toward the Superpower within his body and fused with it, causing the Superpower to begin changing.
The other part separated and gradually formed another, brand-new type of Energy.
Without needing any explanation, Lin Xinghai knew that this brand-new Energy must be the one that represented his Special Physique.
Meanwhile, the vast Blood Qi Power provided by the System continuously poured into these two types of Energy in his body, causing them to constantly transform and grow stronger.
Once the transformation was complete, he would be considered to have truly stepped into the Blood Qi Realm.
Only then did Lin Xinghai regain control of his body. Now that he had broken the Genetic Lock and his body had entered a state of transformation, it was arguably the best moment to absorb the medicinal power.
He hastily began to circulate the Cultivation Technique for the Thunder Divine Body, once again absorbing the medicinal power from the Creation Blood Pool.
...
Five minutes earlier, Zuo Wenyao, Wen Qiuying, and Jian Hua were standing beside the Creation Blood Pool.
As they watched the pool’s water rapidly turn red from the "Creation Essence Liquid," their hearts couldn’t help but tense up slightly.
This was because by simply observing the speed at which these students absorbed the medicinal power, they could roughly deduce how far the students would be able to cultivate their Divine Demon Body within this half-hour.
Among the three, Jian Hua was the most nervous. Sweat was seeping from his palms as his eyes were fixed on the small pools in the inner circle. If any student was going to complete the first stage of the Divine Demon Body cultivation, it would certainly be one of these Special Class Students.
Soon, as the Creation Blood Pool turned red, the students, after a brief period of adaptation, all began to absorb the medicinal power in unison.
Within his Perception, the speed of medicinal power absorption at two spots was constantly accelerating, quickly pulling away from the other students.
"As expected of the geniuses ranked first and second in the entrance exam!" Jian Hua couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this, Wen Qiuying, who was standing to the side, also remarked with some surprise after seeing the scene, "Liu Miaomiao’s Special Physique is an almost perfect match for the Cyan Wood Divine Body. It can greatly accelerate the cultivation progress of her Divine Demon Body, so it’s only natural for her to absorb the medicinal power quickly."
"But how does Lin Xinghai also have this kind of speed? If I remember correctly, the cultivation difficulty of the Thunder Divine Body, even at the Blood Qi Realm stage, is a huge step above other Divine Demon Bodies, isn’t it?"
Zuo Wenyao, who had also been a bit nervous, couldn’t help but say smugly upon hearing this, "This is what you call exceptional talent. He is my very first personal student—a ’last disciple,’ as they used to say. How could his talent be poor?"
However, just as the words left his mouth, his expression changed slightly. Wen Qiuying and Jian Hua also seemed to sense something and quickly looked toward the small cubicle where Lin Xinghai was.
Although they couldn’t see him, they could clearly sense that Lin Xinghai, who had been steadily accelerating his absorption of the medicinal power, had abruptly stopped.
This was something that had never happened before. After all, during the breakthrough process, the more Energy in the body, the better. If he stopped absorbing it, there was a high probability that something had gone wrong.
Zuo Wenyao’s heart tightened. He was about to take a step forward to investigate more closely when he was stopped by Wen Qiuying.
"Don’t be hasty. If you intervene in his breakthrough, it could lead to even more severe consequences. Didn’t you always say that this student of yours not only has great talent but also an excellent temperament? Let’s see if he can handle it himself first," Wen Qiuying said calmly.
Zuo Wenyao had just been acting out of momentary anxiety. Pulled back by Wen Qiuying, he instantly calmed down. "Alright! But we should still prepare for the worst. If he really runs into trouble later, I might need you to help. After all, your Wood Element Superpower..."
Zuo Wenyao trailed off again as he was speaking, because they could all feel Lin Xinghai’s aura begin to skyrocket.
Although the auras of the students in the pool were all constantly strengthening as they absorbed medicinal power and prepared to break through, it was a slow strengthening, like accumulating power.
Lin Xinghai, however, was different. He seemed to skip the accumulation process entirely, going straight to a volcanic eruption.
In the Perception of the three, Lin Xinghai’s aura reached the critical threshold of the Optimized in just a few seconds.
Before they could even react, his aura had already surpassed that threshold, reaching the level of the Blood Qi Realm.
"He broke through just like that?" Jian Hua, standing to the side, said in astonishment.
It had only been a few seconds! He had broken through. Even seeing it with his own eyes, he couldn’t believe it.
Yet, this was somehow only the beginning.
The three of them watched, wide-eyed, as Lin Xinghai’s aura continued to climb. Blood Qi Realm Early Stage, Blood Qi Realm Middle Stage, Blood Qi Realm Late Stage... in less than ten seconds, he had already charged to the Peak of Blood Qi Realm.
Moreover, even after reaching the Peak of Blood Qi Realm, it showed no sign of stopping and was, unbelievably, still rising.
Jian Hua was left completely stunned where he stood. Zuo Wenyao and Wen Qiuying also wore expressions of utter shock, confusion, and bewilderment.
