Invincible through Touching Corpses

As Lin Xinghai waited with some trepidation, Wen Qiuying indeed asked the two most critical questions.

First, she asked why he was suddenly able to increase his cultivation speed so drastically.

Lin Xinghai had nothing to hide on this point. He told them the truth: his Superpower had awakened four times, transforming into the Time Acceleration Ability.

Although both Zuo Wenyao and Wen Qiuying had many theories, they never imagined this would be the final answer.

After hearing his explanation, the two of them were stunned silent for a long moment before they recovered from their shock.

Frankly, the shockwaves from the appearance of a Time Superpower were in no way less than the two previous commotions Lin Xinghai had caused. In fact, they were even greater.

After all, this was a problem the Superpower Research Institute had been studying for many years!

No one had ever expected this to be the answer.

Once she had collected herself, Wen Qiuying asked her second question.

Why, when Lin Xinghai broke through, did his aura surge all the way to the Peak of Body Shaping Realm?

In response to this question, Lin Xinghai simply said he didn’t know either and that it might be related to his Superpower’s mutation.

The two of them were somewhat skeptical of this answer, but on second thought, since a Time Superpower was involved, such an explanation wasn’t so difficult to accept.

More importantly, upon hearing it, Zuo Wenyao immediately set the tone by declaring that this was the official answer.

Seeing Zuo Wenyao’s attitude, Lin Xinghai instantly relaxed. It was clear that as long as his answer was plausible, Zuo Wenyao would help minimize any trouble for him.

"Alright, I’ll report this to the Military Department right now. We’ll sign a non-disclosure agreement before we leave. As for the academy, I’ll have the military notify them as well." As he spoke, Zuo Wenyao had already activated his Communication Wristwatch and dialed a high-level, encrypted military number.

After that, there was nothing more for Lin Xinghai to do. He simply waited quietly to the side.

Before long, Zuo Wenyao returned. He gave Lin Xinghai a few instructions, requiring him not to disclose certain matters for the time being.

For example, he could only tell outsiders that his Divine Demon Body progress was at 60%, at most.

For another, he was to minimize the use of his Time Acceleration Ability until his strength reached the Divine Demon Realm. Even when he did use it, he had to disguise it as a Speed Superpower.

"Of course, hiding these things might cause your reputation to suffer. And since you left the Creation Blood Pool early, I will apply to the academy’s senior leadership for adequate compensation for you," Zuo Wenyao said with a smile after listing his requirements.

Lin Xinghai, of course, nodded obediently.

However, Jian Hua, who was standing to the side, had the overwhelming urge to retort. ’His reputation will suffer? What kind of nonsense is that?’

Even this "censored" version of the information would completely shatter historical records. One could only imagine the sensation it would cause.

But he also knew Zuo Wenyao was simply trying to secure more benefits for Lin Xinghai, so he could only keep these thoughts to himself and tacitly agree.

In fact, as Lin Xinghai’s homeroom teacher, he would even have to cooperate with Zuo Wenyao in future meetings to fight for Lin Xinghai’s interests.

Just as Zuo Wenyao finished his instructions, the session at the Creation Blood Pool came to an end.

One by one, students began to emerge from the Creation Blood Pool, looking somewhat regretful.

"Boss, how did you get out so quickly? Your clothes are already dry," Little Fatty said, surprised.

"I advanced too quickly and was having trouble controlling my Power, so I got out early," Lin Xinghai said dismissively.

His answer undoubtedly left Little Fatty and the others dumbfounded.

’Under what circumstances would you lose control of your Power?’

Something occurred to Little Fatty, and he asked cautiously, "In that case, Boss, what’s your Divine Demon Body progress at now?"

"Sixty percent. I just completed the second stage of Cultivation," Lin Xinghai replied, giving the number he had agreed upon with Zuo Wenyao.

Instantly, Little Fatty, along with Sun Tianbo and the others who had just gathered around, all gasped. They stared at Lin Xinghai in utter shock.

They had thought Lin Xinghai would gain significant benefits, maybe even having a good chance of completing the first stage of the Divine Demon Body Cultivation, matching the achievements of past prodigies.

But they never, ever imagined that Lin Xinghai would not only break the record but leave behind a new one that future generations could only gaze up at in awe.

’Completing two stages of the Divine Demon Body Cultivation in one go... just how much time and how many resources would that save!’

In an instant, a chorus of congratulations, exclamations, and general clamor erupted, and the area became incredibly lively.

The commotion, of course, attracted the attention of the other students. As more people came over to ask what was going on, the news that Lin Xinghai had completed two stages of his Divine Demon Body Cultivation quickly spread.

When Yan Feijie and the other Special Class Students heard the news, they were filled with complicated emotions.

However, after taking blow after blow, they had learned not to compare themselves to Lin Xinghai. With that mindset, they were able to adjust their feelings surprisingly quickly.

Just then, Little Fatty suddenly thought of something and said regretfully, "Boss, I can’t believe you absorbed the medicinal essence so quickly and even came out early. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have had you waste so many Body Tempering Pills on Cultivation beforehand."

Little Fatty’s words felt like a knife twisting in Lin Xinghai’s gut, and he couldn’t stop the corner of his mouth from twitching. This was the one thing he regretted most.

He might have completely finished cultivating the Divine Demon Body for the Blood Qi Realm, but this was far from the end. The resources needed to cultivate the Divine Demon Body in the Body Shaping Realm would be even more immense and expensive.

Moreover, it wasn’t just the Divine Demon Body that required resources; rapidly increasing his Blood Qi Realm Cultivation would require them as well.

It was no exaggeration to say that any expert, regardless of their talent, needed a massive amount of resources piled on top of them to grow.

This was precisely why the academy explicitly divided all students into first, second, and third classes. Only geniuses could make the most of the available resources to increase their strength.

It was cruel, but it was reality.

Remembering the resources he had wasted, Lin Xinghai had no desire to continue this conversation with Little Fatty.

He quickly shifted his attention to Liu Miaomiao.

Lin Xinghai could sense that Liu Miaomiao’s aura hadn’t fluctuated much, which meant she hadn’t completed the first stage of her Divine Demon Body Cultivation.

However, Liu Miaomiao had a smile on her face and seemed to be in high spirits, so her gains must have been significant.

"How did it go for you?" Lin Xinghai asked.

"My Divine Demon Body progress reached 28%, and my Superpower had its third awakening," Liu Miaomiao said with a smile.

A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Lin Xinghai’s face. The Divine Demon Body progress was secondary; after all, that could always be improved with enough resources. But a third Superpower awakening was a different matter entirely.

With each awakening, a Superpower’s might would increase dramatically, and Liu Miaomiao’s Life Control Superpower was already absurdly powerful to begin with.

He immediately asked for the details and learned that after its third awakening, Liu Miaomiao’s Superpower now had a coverage area of 100 meters in diameter.

As for the speed at which it drained Life Force, that had surely increased significantly as well, but the exact improvement would require testing in actual combat.

"A range of 100 meters? Your Superpower is going to be incredibly strong in a real fight!" Lin Xinghai exclaimed in amazement.

Once that Superpower is amplified by a Mecha, it could even form a Death Domain a thousand meters in diameter.

Next, Lin Xinghai asked Little Fatty and the others about their gains.

Thanks to Lin Xinghai’s earlier reminder to focus on absorbing the medicinal essence, Little Fatty, Sun Tianbo, and the rest of the group had all made excellent progress with their Divine Demon Body.

They were all somewhere between 12% and 15%.

Compared to the other students, they hadn’t fallen behind in the slightest. In fact, they had even surpassed the average.

Considering their talent was actually inferior to the others, the fact that they could keep pace like this left Lin Xinghai quite satisfied.

The only unfortunate thing was that none of them had managed to trigger another Superpower awakening during their breakthrough.

Still, the team he had casually thrown together was gradually becoming the largest student organization of their year.
