Invincible through Touching Corpses

Little Fatty quickly obtained intel on the bottom ten members of the Hero Ranking. Meanwhile, Leng Ruchen and Qin Qi also sent the information they had gathered to Lin Xinghai.

After compiling the information from all three, they had a remarkably detailed intelligence report.

Overall, Little Fatty provided the most information, and it was also the most extensive.

The intelligence from Leng Ruchen and Qin Qi, on the other hand, was more precise. For the opponents they had studied, they even listed some of their preferred attack patterns.

With this report, everyone could now carefully select an opponent based on their own abilities.

"Which one are you planning to pick as your opponent?" Lin Xinghai asked, looking at Liu Miaomiao beside him.

Liu Miaomiao, who had been deep in thought, answered immediately upon hearing his question. "I’m planning to choose Yan Sha, ranked 95th. What do you think?"

Lin Xinghai glanced at the intelligence report for Yan Sha. The man’s Divine Demon Body was the Black Rock Demon Body, and his Superpower allowed him to manipulate rock. When combined, these two abilities allowed him to form an incredibly thick suit of Rock Armor over his body.

Simply put, he possessed immense Defense Power. In fact, when his two abilities were combined, his overall defense surpassed even that of the Chaos Demon Body, which was known as the ultimate defensive Divine Demon Body.

Of course, against Liu Miaomiao’s Life Control Superpower, no amount of Defense Power was useful, as her ability operated on a life-force level.

"What’s your reasoning?" Lin Xinghai didn’t offer his opinion first, wanting to hear Liu Miaomiao’s own thoughts.

"Among these ten people, Yan Sha’s Attack Power is relatively weak. Plus, he has a more fatal flaw: after activating his Rock Armor, his mobility is significantly reduced. If I use that to my advantage and drag out the fight, I should be able to prolong it and inflict more damage on him," Liu Miaomiao explained.

"Yes, that’s true. With your strength at the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage, if he underestimates you at the start, you might just make him suffer a major loss," Lin Xinghai said with a smile.

That was right. Liu Miaomiao had not been idle for the past month. Her strength had been improving rapidly, and just three days ago, she had finally broken through to the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage.

While this breakthrough speed was a far cry from Lin Xinghai’s, it was important to remember that Liu Miaomiao not only had to cultivate her Blood Qi Power but also complete the Tier Two cultivation of her Divine Demon Body before she could advance.

Reaching the Blood Qi Realm Late Stage in just one month was already an extremely fast pace. Aside from Lin Xinghai, she was almost certainly the second person to do so.

If she maintained this pace, she could reach the Peak of Blood Qi Realm by the midterm exams. If not for the existence of a demon like Lin Xinghai, Liu Miaomiao’s speed might have even been enough to break the school record.

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s praise, Liu Miaomiao’s face flushed slightly, but she quickly replied in a soft voice, "I’m not as incredible as you make it sound. But what about you? Do you think you could defeat one of them?"

She lowered her voice as she asked, afraid others might overhear. After all, merely posing such a question was astounding enough.

But Liu Miaomiao also knew that Lin Xinghai was perhaps the only person with that kind of strength. After all, she knew that he had already broken through to the Peak of Blood Qi Realm half a month ago.

Now, another half a month had passed, and she could hardly imagine what level Lin Xinghai’s strength had reached.

In response to her question, Lin Xinghai just smiled. "You’ll find out when I make my challenge."

Seeing Lin Xinghai’s confident reply, Liu Miaomiao’s eyes lit up. Knowing him, she figured he was almost certain he could win.

And she was right. Lin Xinghai’s Blood Qi Power had already broken past 500 points, reaching a total of 510.

If this news were to get out, it would be absolutely astounding. After all, one only needed 300 points of Blood Qi Power to break through to the Peak of Blood Qi Realm.

Reaching 400 points meant you already met the requirement to advance to the Body Shaping Realm.

In other words, if he wanted to, he could break through to the Body Shaping Realm in less than a month, setting yet another record in human history.

Of course, Lin Xinghai had no interest in setting that kind of record. What he wanted was true power. If he was going to set a record, he wanted it to be for something like the "Strongest in the Blood Qi Realm."

With 510 points of Blood Qi Power, he truly had what it took to challenge the Hero Ranking.

He had already learned from Leng Ruchen and Qin Qi that 500 points of Blood Qi Power was, in fact, the minimum requirement to get on the Hero Ranking.

In other words, his current Blood Qi Power was on par with those at the bottom of the ranking.

But he wasn’t just relying on his Blood Qi Power. Both his Superpower and his Divine Demon Body were top-tier, and those were the true foundation of one’s combat prowess.

Therefore, Lin Xinghai was fully confident he could defeat opponents whose Blood Qi Power was merely on par with his own.

Lin Xinghai and Liu Miaomiao continued to speak in hushed tones.

Meanwhile, Little Fatty, Sun Tianbo, Xie Shangyong, and the others were busy contemplating which opponents would be the most suitable for them. They bounced ideas off one another, offering suggestions to refine their plans.

The rest of the class was also engaged in heated discussions, but their intelligence was nowhere near as comprehensive as the Xinghai Squad’s, so their preparations were naturally falling short.

And that was the difference. If two opponents were evenly matched in strength, this kind of gap in preparation could ultimately determine their final rankings.

The members of the Xinghai Squad understood this, of course, which made them all feel a surge of excitement.

Furthermore, over the past month, every mission had brought them a substantial income. It was no exaggeration to say that every single member of the Xinghai Squad had acquired resources on par with any First Class Student.

All of these factors combined had gradually built up the confidence of the Xinghai Squad’s members. They felt that in this upcoming assessment, they could continue to climb higher in the ranks.

「Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.」

As soon as time was up, Jian Hua wasted no time and led the students of Class One directly toward the school’s combat arenas.

The school’s arenas were located in the center of the gymnasium. There wasn’t just one, but a total of three: one main arena and two smaller ones.

Since the monthly exam was arranged directly by the school, they immediately occupied the main arena.

The ten students who were about to be challenged were already waiting on the stage.

According to the academy’s arrangements, facing challenges from first-year students was part of their own monthly assessment.

And precisely because of this arrangement, the ten Hero Ranking students would not be holding back against the freshmen who had come to challenge them.
