Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 446: Chapter 444: Zuo Wenya’s Trouble

When Little Fatty brought up the matter of the Divine Demon Body, Lin Xinghai thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I haven’t decided yet. What about you?"

Yesterday, Zuo Wenyao had given him a compendium of Divine Demon Bodies, allowing him to gain a detailed understanding of all of them.

Among them, he felt that three Speed-type Divine Demon Bodies were quite suitable, but he hadn’t yet made a final decision on which one to choose.

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s question, Little Fatty had nothing to hide and said directly, "The Chaos Divine Body."

Lin Xinghai was a little surprised by Little Fatty’s answer. "You’re not choosing a Wind Element Divine Demon Body? That would be the best way to leverage your Superpower!"

The Chaos Divine Body was quite famous because, among the many Divine Demon Bodies, it offered the strongest life-preservation abilities.

Little Fatty analyzed, "Wind Element Divine Demon Bodies are generally used to increase Speed, but my Hurricane Tornado Superpower is more offense-oriented! Instead of increasing my Speed, I’d rather boost my survivability. Besides, my dad always said that staying alive is more important than anything."

Lin Xinghai’s lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. ’That last sentence is probably the real reason for his choice,’ he thought.

However, it was Little Fatty’s decision, so he had nothing more to say.

Soon, their conversation shifted from Divine Demon Bodies to Martial Arts.

When the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique that Lin Xinghai was practicing came up, a look of envy appeared in Little Fatty’s eyes.

Although his family was very wealthy and didn’t lack Martial Arts manuals...

...that only applied to Yellow Level or Profound Level Martial Arts. As for Earth Level Martial Arts, they weren’t something money could buy, so he didn’t have one.

"By the way, Boss, do you think this Wind and Thunder Gun Technique is easy to master?" Little Fatty asked curiously.

He had read up on this before; Earth Level Martial Arts were known to be exceptionally difficult to cultivate.

Even for the geniuses at East Sea Academy, reaching Minor Success in an Earth Level Martial Art would take one to two years at the very least, and three to four years for the slower ones.

Assuming no significant gap in talent, the speed of cultivation for a Martial Art depended more on one’s affinity with it.

If one found a Martial Art with which they had a special affinity, it was possible to reach Minor Success within a year.

But if there was no affinity, forcing it could mean getting nowhere even after five or six years.

"It feels alright! I should be able to get the hang of it in a few days," Lin Xinghai gave a conservative answer.

In reality, his proficiency at the Entry Level had already reached 25% in just one morning. At this rate, he could advance the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique to Minor Success today.

However, that would be far too shocking, so he decided to wait a week before revealing his progress.

Little Fatty didn’t react much, just nodding calmly. In his mind, when Lin Xinghai said he could "get the hang of it," it must have meant reaching the Entry Level.

’Reaching the Entry Level in just a few days is already quite fast. Maybe he really can get it to Minor Success within a year,’ he thought.

After a bit more small talk, Little Fatty left.

As for Lin Xinghai, after finishing lunch, he went to Liu Miaomiao’s room, partly to rest and partly to discuss the Divine Demon Body matter.

When she learned that Lin Xinghai had narrowed his choices down to three Divine Demon Bodies but hadn’t made a final decision, Liu Miaomiao didn’t offer any specific advice, afraid she might inadvertently mislead him.

"You could always ask Instructor Zuo Wenyao. With his knowledge, any advice he gives you will be better than ours," Liu Miaomiao said.

"Mm! I’ll think about it some more on my own. If I still haven’t chosen by tomorrow, I’ll go ask him." Lin Xinghai nodded, then quickly returned to his room to continue practicing the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique.

However, his afternoon practice took an unexpected turn.

When his proficiency in the Entry Level of the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique reached 50%, the "+" sign disappeared.

The reason was simple: to continue practicing, he would need to start utilizing Blood Qi Power.

’As expected of an Earth Level Martial Art. It requires Blood Qi Power even at the Entry Level,’ Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but marvel.

Even so, just mastering 50% of the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique had tripled his firing speed.

If his proficiency reached 100%, his firing speed would increase by at least six times his original speed.

This level of improvement was far greater than that of a Profound Level Martial Art. After all, cultivating his Phantom Body Technique to Minor Success had only just doubled his Speed.

Of course, the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique wasn’t just about Speed. Later on, when it involved the use of Blood Qi Power, it would also increase its might.

Since he couldn’t increase his proficiency further for now, Lin Xinghai began to repeatedly practice the parts of the Wind and Thunder Gun Technique he had mastered. After all, with the system’s help, he had only learned the moves.

To be able to use them proficiently in actual combat, he still had to rely on himself.

...

While Lin Xinghai was practicing his Gun Technique, trouble finally found Zuo Wenyao.

In the academy’s main conference room, an emergency leadership meeting had been called.

Such meetings, attended by the school’s top officials, were typically only called when a major incident occurred.

The reason for this particular meeting was that someone had filed a complaint against Zuo Wenyao, a Divine Demon Realm expert.

An ordinary complaint certainly wouldn’t have escalated to the point of calling a leadership meeting. However, it was a different matter entirely when the complainant was another Divine Demon Realm expert, Zhang Qishui.

"You all must have too much time on your hands! To call a leadership meeting over such a trivial matter." Zuo Wenyao leaned back in his chair, looking at Zhang Qishui and the group of old men opposite him who had long since taken a dislike to him, and spoke with complete indifference.

"Is this a trivial matter? This is an issue concerning the academy’s rules and regulations! And what if that new student actually kills someone?" The one who spoke was not Zhang Qishui, but an academy director who had a grudge against Zuo Wenyao, Lu An.

"If he really kills someone, then just expel him and send him to guard the Abyssal Passage for five years! It’s all written in the school rules. Don’t tell me you don’t even know that, Old Man Lu!" Zuo Wenyao said with a hint of mockery.

Lu An was momentarily speechless. The other school leaders in his faction exchanged glances, completely baffled as to what game Zuo Wenyao was playing.

"This isn’t about how to handle a mistake after it’s been made. It’s about you, as his personal instructor, teaching him not to make such mistakes in the first place," Zhang Qishui spoke up this time.

"Old Zhang, it’s not that I’m trying to criticize you, but for a Divine Demon Realm expert, you’re awfully short-sighted! If I dare to say this, it’s because I’m certain that Lin Xinghai won’t kill anyone when using Firearms against an opponent," Zuo Wenyao said with a light sigh.

"How is that possible! No matter how good his Gun Technique is, there’s always a chance he could slip up," Lu An, who was listening from the side, immediately retorted.

"Old Man Lu, if you misfire, it’s purely because your Gun Technique is amateurish. Don’t you dare compare yourself to my student," Zuo Wenyao said disdainfully.

"You’ve got to be kidding! There’s always a ’what if.’ I refuse to believe your student will never make a mistake," Lu An said angrily.

"That’s right! There is no ’what if.’ My student will never make a mistake," Zuo Wenyao stated.

"You’re being utterly unreasonable!" Lu An snapped.

"A subjective judgment like that isn’t going to convince anyone," Zhang Qishui said with a frown. He also felt that Zuo Wenyao was just being deliberately difficult today.

"Instructor Zuo, I hope you can provide something more persuasive," the principal of East Sea Academy, Hua Zhenghao, finally spoke up.
