Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 337: Frantic Improvement

Lin Xinghai then began to continuously strengthen his body. After each session, he immediately had Liu Miaomiao use her Superpower to repair his meridians.

After resting for just under five minutes, he would begin another strengthening session.

Around 10:00 AM, after Lin Xinghai had completed another strengthening session, he opened his system panel to take a look.

Host: Lin Xinghai

Physique: 91 points

Power: 90 points

Speed: 99 points

Blood Qi Power: 126,268 points

Genetic Optimization Level: 99%+

Third Level Superpower: Speed (Speed increased by 300%, duration five minutes) (Energy Value: 10/10)

Intermediate Shooting Skill: Proficiency 1%+

Phantom Body Technique (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%+

A smile crept onto Lin Xinghai’s lips as he saw that his three Basic Attributes had all reached at least 90 points.

Moreover, after several strengthening sessions, other changes had occurred besides the increase in his physical power.

For example, as time went on, his tolerance for pain had gradually begun to increase.

His Cultivation was no longer as painful as it had been at the start.

On top of that, something else surprised Lin Xinghai even more: he discovered that his meridians seemed to have genuinely grown more resilient.

He had actually felt this way after his very first strengthening session, but it was so faint that he had dismissed it as his imagination.

But now, after three consecutive sessions, he was almost certain that his meridians were growing increasingly resilient.

This was plain to see, as the damage to his meridians lessened after each strengthening session.

Lin Xinghai had a few theories as to why this was happening. The most likely one was that the impurities in the Blood Qi Power injured his meridians, which were then subsequently repaired.

Repeating this process was like constantly tempering his meridians, which produced this effect over time.

In contrast, the Blood Qi Power provided by the system was simply too pure and caused no damage to his meridians. That was why, despite advancing many times using the system, his meridians had never changed.

After figuring this out, Lin Xinghai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also secretly delighted.

Whatever the reason, his meridians becoming more resilient was undoubtedly a good thing.

Closing the system panel, Lin Xinghai checked the time. While Liu Miaomiao healed his injured meridians, he once again circulated his Cultivation Technique and began to strengthen his body.

If he hurried, he could strengthen his body two more times before lunch.

An hour later, when Lin Xinghai finished strengthening again, he glanced at his system and was stunned.

This time, his Power attribute had only increased by 0.5, reaching 90.5 points.

"It seems the further I go, the harder it is to improve," Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but mutter.

’But on second thought, this is normal. The closer you get to a limit, the harder it is to improve,’ he thought.

Moreover, Lin Xinghai discovered that every time he finished a strengthening session, he could feel the fourth Genetic Lock loosening even more.

He was even a little worried. ’What if after one of these sessions, the Genetic Lock just shatters and I advance to the Blood Qi Realm?’

If that happened, it might be a good thing for others, but he would absolutely be kicking himself.

After all, he still hadn’t cultivated his Divine Demon Body, and if he didn’t use the system to break through, his Superpower Level definitely wouldn’t increase either.

These thoughts flashed through Lin Xinghai’s mind for but a moment before he threw himself back into his Cultivation.

Another hour passed. When he finished strengthening again, Lin Xinghai’s Power had finally caught up with his Physique, both now at 91 points.

He was now genuinely curious: the next time he strengthened his body, would it be his Power or his Physique that increased?

However, he glanced at Liu Miaomiao, who had been by his side all morning, and suppressed his curiosity. He would take her to eat first.

Since no restaurants had been established at the branch base yet, there was only one place for them to eat: the large mess hall set up by the Military Department.

The mess hall had been converted from a three-story factory building. The first and second floors were for regular soldiers and Mercenaries to eat, while the third floor was not a mess hall, but a proper restaurant.

However, this restaurant was not open to the public; only soldiers with military rank were allowed to dine there. But with Lin Xinghai’s status as a deputy director, he naturally had unrestricted access.

He had just sat down and ordered a few dishes from a logistics soldier when he saw Lin Zhengyang arriving for a meal as well.

"Elder Lin," Lin Xinghai greeted first.

"Xiaolin, what a coincidence!" Lin Zhengyang nodded in response, then seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, was that High Level Gene Medicine Liquid effective?"

He had heard about what happened that morning—how Lin Xinghai had stood up so many Mercenary Corps, and then had the Military Department help him capture a large batch of Zombies.

After all that commotion, he wanted to know if Lin Xinghai had actually made any progress.

"Yes, it’s effective," Lin Xinghai replied with a nod.

"Good! Haha! Then I’ll be waiting to see you make a splash at East Sea Academy," Lin Zhengyang said happily.

Lin Xinghai had come from their Star Shield Shelter. If he became famous in the future, it would bring quite a few benefits to Star Shield Shelter as well.

Previously, because East Sea Academy was filled with geniuses, he hadn’t been sure if Lin Xinghai would be able to make his mark.

But now that he knew Lin Xinghai could use his Special Physique to continue strengthening his foundation, he no longer had any doubts.

In Lin Zhengyang’s eyes, even if Lin Xinghai was initially overshadowed by the academy’s top geniuses, he was confident that with such a powerful foundation, Lin Xinghai would be able to build up his strength and eventually surpass them.

...

After lunch, Lin Xinghai and Liu Miaomiao returned to the Mercenary Corps’ camp, and he resumed strengthening his body.

Another hour passed. After completing the next strengthening session, Lin Xinghai eagerly opened his system panel to check, only to be left slightly stunned.

His Physique and Power had increased simultaneously, both reaching 91.25 points.

’So it’s not just one attribute, they’re advancing together. Interesting. But this rate of increase is a bit low. I’m afraid it’ll be impossible to reach the limit in just a few days now,’ Lin Xinghai muttered to himself.

With an increase of 0.25 points per session, he would need to complete four sessions just to raise both his Physique and Power by a single attribute point.

Of course, if he was willing to spend the time—say, 20 out of 24 hours a day on strengthening his body—he could increase both his Physique and Power Attributes by 5 points in a single day.

But that was too extreme. He still had more than ten days before heading to East Sea Base, so Lin Xinghai ultimately decided that spending eight hours a day on strengthening his body would be sufficient.

As for the rest of his time, he planned to continue improving the strength of his two Mercenary Corps.
