Chapter 525 - 522: Blood Qi Power Breaks Through 1,000
Lin Xinghai sat in the Cultivation Room and began to focus on compressing his Blood Qi Power.
By now, his total Blood Qi Power had already reached 999 points, and he was only a single step away from breaking the thousand-point mark.
All he had to do was compress another 100 points of Blood Qi Power, and his total would increase by one more point, allowing him to cross the 1000-point threshold.
Although the difficulty of compression was soaring rapidly with the increase in his total Blood Qi Power, this level of difficulty was nothing to Lin Xinghai.
The difficulty depended on two factors.
One was the degree of control over one’s Blood Qi Power.
The other was related to physical strength.
In these two respects, Lin Xinghai felt that no one in the Blood Qi Realm could surpass him.
After all, when it came to controlling Blood Qi Power, he was backed by his incredibly strong Perception Power, further enhanced by the Object Control Technique. He believed his control over his Blood Qi Power was definitely not much weaker than that of an expert at the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm.
As for physical strength, thanks to comprehending the System Technique during his time as one of the Optimized, he had compensated for all his shortcomings and built an incredibly solid foundation.
So, no one could match him in this regard either.
With these two advantages combined, the 1000-point Blood Qi Power threshold, which was incredibly difficult for others to break through, was effortlessly surpassed by Lin Xinghai.
The moment his total Blood Qi Power broke through the 1000-point mark, he instantly felt as if all the Blood Qi Power in his body began to boil.
Along with this boiling sensation, he could perceive his physical constitution rapidly improving.
This feeling of improvement was not unfamiliar to him; it was surprisingly similar to what he felt when he normally broke through to a new level.
He quickly opened his system panel to take a look and immediately discovered that his three Attributes were, indeed, rapidly increasing.
It was worth noting that his Attributes had already reached 500 points when he broke through to the Peak of the Blood Qi Realm.
After that, for every 100-point increase in his total Blood Qi Power, his three physical Attributes would increase by 10 points.
When his Blood Qi Power was at 500 points, his Attributes reached 510. When his Blood Qi Power hit 600, his Attributes were 520.
Following this pattern, when his Blood Qi Power surpassed 900 points, his three physical Attributes reached 550.
But now, his Attributes were soaring, finally stopping at the number 650 a few minutes later.
In other words, after breaking the 1000-point threshold, his three Attributes had jumped by a full 100 points.
An increase of this magnitude was no different from breaking through an entire Small Realm.
Looking at his system panel, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.
’No wonder so many people say that in the Blood Qi Realm, 1000 points of Blood Qi Power is a watershed moment.’
’A boost to one’s physical constitution equivalent to a Small Realm breakthrough is truly terrifying.’
’And this was an increase to his Basic Attributes. After being amplified by his Superpower, Cultivation Technique Martial Arts, or Divine Demon Body, these Basic Attributes would become absolutely terrifying.’
For instance, after he used his Phantom Body Technique, those 100 points of Speed would become 200. Stacking his Time Acceleration Ability on top of that would be equivalent to a 2000-point boost to his Speed.
A Martial Artist at the Body Shaping Realm Early Stage, unless they specialized in Speed, would probably only have a total Speed of around 2000 points, even with the enhancement from a Body Technique Martial Arts.
"By my calculations, the mission from Zuo Wenyao should be coming soon. I just wonder what kind of mission it will be," Lin Xinghai said with anticipation after getting used to his body.
And just as he expected, he received a notification from Zuo Wenyao that very evening.
The man had accepted a mission for him from the Military Department. It would be in three days, and he was told to get ready.
However, there were no details about the mission’s specific objective, time, or location.
’Hmm, looks like this mission has a pretty high confidentiality level.’ Lin Xinghai thought for a moment after reading the message, then quickly closed it.
Over the next three days, besides his Cultivation, he also took the members of the Xinghai Squad out on a mission.
Of course, besides being a mission, this was also an assessment for new members.
That’s right, Lin Xinghai had decided to add 10 new members to the Xinghai Squad this week, increasing its size from 30 to 40 people.
Little Fatty had already done a preliminary screening, and with his previous experience, he was even more meticulous this time.
Lin Xinghai was absolutely satisfied with Little Fatty as his vice-captain. Aside from his slightly lacking strength, he was practically impeccable in all other aspects.
This time, the selection of new members went off without a hitch, even more smoothly than the last.
After all, Lin Xinghai’s prestige had been insufficient before, and many people wouldn’t be completely obedient when he gave orders.
But things were different now. Not only did he have immense potential, but he had also proven his strength. Even the second-year students who came for the assessment were very well-behaved and obedient.
As for third-year students, Lin Xinghai didn’t choose any of them. He had Little Fatty screen them out at the initial stage and offer a tactful explanation.
After all, they would be leaving for their internships in a year, so there wasn’t much point in them joining the Xinghai Squad now.
Lin Xinghai didn’t even pick too many second-year students, allocating only half of the spots to them.
As for the first-years, Lin Xinghai felt that there were hardly any with real strength, since they were all only at the Blood Qi Realm Middle Stage. So, he just picked those with high potential.
Of course, there was an exception: Qian Xingxiu, a Special Class Student, had also applied to join his team this time.
This was the first Special Class Student to join them. Considering that his Imprisonment Superpower would be extremely useful at critical moments, Lin Xinghai only thought about it for a moment before immediately agreeing to let him join.
With the Xinghai Squad’s members increasing to 40, its overall strength immediately rose to another level.
After all, among the 10 new recruits, five were second-year students. The ones Lin Xinghai selected were all powerful members at the Peak of the Blood Qi Realm who excelled in combat.
With them on board, after a short period of integration, the Xinghai Squad could practically tear through the downtown area of any city, even without Lin Xinghai present.
After handling the Xinghai Squad’s affairs, Lin Xinghai went to the academy’s research institute to retrieve his Mjolnir and Battle Armor.
Although upgrading these two items had cost a total of 236,000 Credit Points, after a brief test, Lin Xinghai felt it was well worth the price.
