Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 450: Chapter 448: Selecting a Divine Demon Body

Jiang Hua’s words ignited the students’ fighting spirit, though of course, many remained level-headed.

Many of them knew that just breaking through to the Body Shaping Realm before graduation would be difficult enough. Reaching the Divine Demon Realm within ten years would be a tremendous blessing.

As for even higher Realms, that was little more than a distant dream.

Of everyone there, perhaps only Lin Xinghai was seriously contemplating matters beyond the Divine Demon Realm.

With his system, he was quite confident about breaking through to higher Realms. The only thing he didn’t know was how long it would take.

Soon, as more and more students came back to reality, their discussions grew more practical. The topic shifted from how the ancients managed to cultivate to such a high Realm to which Divine Demon Body they should choose.

In fact, many students had already gone to the library to research this very topic after enrolling yesterday, but they had only gained a preliminary understanding.

Their choice of Divine Demon Body would affect their entire future cultivation path, and that was what concerned them most right now.

Jiang Hua waited for the chatter to die down and the students’ initial excitement to fade. Then, he smiled and began to explain the pros and cons of each Divine Demon Body in detail, providing them with a reference.

The entire morning passed just like that.

Naturally, the written materials couldn’t compare to the detail of Jiang Hua’s descriptions. After his thorough analysis, many students now had a general idea of which Divine Demon Body they wanted to choose.

The same went for Lin Xinghai.

"Alright, I’ve gone over all the Divine Demon Bodies with you today. I trust you all now have a general idea of which one you want to choose."

"Of course, if you haven’t decided yet, don’t worry. This afternoon, I’ll take you to see the stone slabs where the Divine Demon Bodies are recorded."

"At that point, you can channel your Perception Power into the slabs to determine which Divine Demon Bodies are compatible with you. Then, you can make your final choice from among those." After this final summary, Jiang Hua announced that the morning’s class was officially over.

Everyone soon dispersed. Some headed to their study halls, while others went to the library to learn more about the Divine Demon Bodies they had provisionally chosen.

"Ah Xing, have you decided which Divine Demon Body you’re going to choose?" Liu Miaomiao asked caringly as they walked.

Since she had a Wood Element Affinity Physique, she had already settled on the Cyan Wood Divine Body. Little Fatty had also chosen the Chaos Divine Body long ago.

Even Jin Tong had made up his mind after today’s class; he was going to pursue the Blazing Divine Body.

He was clearly planning to maximize his damage output. Both his Martial Arts and his choice of Divine Demon Body focused on high burst power. Combined with his Flame Superpower, he was going for a pure burst-damage build.

The obvious drawback, of course, was its high energy consumption.

Lin Xinghai had no objection to this decision.

A build specializing in burst damage was always better than a more balanced, mediocre option. As for the major drawback, it wasn’t impossible to compensate for. On the battlefield, all he needed was a good team or a partner to buy him time to recover.

As for Lin Xinghai, he pondered for a moment before replying, "I’ll probably choose between the Gale Divine Body and the Wind-Fire Demon Body. Of course, that’s just a tentative idea. I’ll make a final decision this afternoon after I see the Divine Demon Body stone slabs."

The Gale Divine Body provided a significant boost to Speed, making it one of the absolute top-tier choices in that regard. Of course, its only real advantage was speed.

As for the Wind-Fire Demon Body, it balanced both Attack Power and Speed with its dual Attributes. Although its Speed was slightly inferior to the Gale Divine Body’s, it was still considered first-rate.

More importantly, if he chose it, his previous weakness—a lack of Attack Power—would be completely remedied.

’Should I continue to push my strengths to their absolute limit, or should I compensate for my weaknesses?’ Lin Xinghai was torn, which made it difficult for him to make a quick decision.

Hearing that Lin Xinghai had narrowed down his options, Liu Miaomiao didn’t press the matter. The group went to the dining hall for lunch, then returned to their dorms to rest for a bit. Soon, it was time for their afternoon class.

This time, the class wasn’t held in a classroom but in the research building.

The research building was arguably the most heavily guarded location in all of East Sea Academy.

Not only were there automated patrol robots, but the military had even dispatched a platoon of soldiers to help with security.

After all, it housed all of the top research projects, including many experiments conducted in collaboration with the military. Under such circumstances, it was no wonder the security was so tight.

Lin Xinghai and the others had to pass through multiple layers of security and identity verification before they were finally allowed inside.

Once inside, they couldn’t wander around freely. They had to take a designated visitor’s corridor directly to the third floor, an entire level dedicated to housing the Divine Demon Body stone slabs.

The stone slabs were almost all a meter high and half a meter wide, each with patterns carved into its surface. But despite that, they looked for all the world like perfectly ordinary slabs of stone.

"Alright, there are stone slabs for 37 different Divine Demon Bodies here," Jiang Hua began. "Of course, other bases also have their own stone slabs, so the total number of Divine Demon Bodies available for you to choose from in the database is as high as 53."

"However, of those 53, some cannot be cultivated all the way to the Divine Demon Realm due to damaged stone slabs or issues with reverse-engineering the associated Martial Arts. You can look at those, but I wouldn’t consider choosing them." With that, Jiang Hua waved his hand at the students, signaling that they were free to look around.

The students quickly dispersed. Lin Xinghai’s gaze swept across the room, and his eyes immediately landed on the slab for the Chaos Divine Body not far away.

"Ye Xin, the Chaos Divine Body you wanted is over there. Want to go check your compatibility first?" Lin Xinghai asked Little Fatty.

Although Little Fatty had set his sights on the Chaos Divine Body from the very beginning, the one he’d chosen might not actually be compatible with him. That’s why it was so necessary to come before these stone slabs and test it in person.

This was one of the key points Jiang Hua had emphasized during the lecture.

"Uh... no need. I’ve actually been here before," Little Fatty said with a smile.

His words were brief, but they carried a great deal of information. Lin Xinghai was surprised; he couldn’t help but re-evaluate Little Fatty’s family background.

Just getting into East Sea Academy was no simple feat for an ordinary person. As for entering a research building guarded by the military, that was something money alone could not achieve.

However, he didn’t press for details. Instead, he led the others and began to browse the collection of slabs.

Before long, they came across the slab for the Cyan Wood Divine Body, the one Liu Miaomiao had chosen.

There were no other students in front of the Cyan Wood Divine Body slab at the moment, so Liu Miaomiao didn’t have to wait. Following Jiang Hua’s instructions from the lecture, she gently placed her hand on the slab and released her Perception Power, enveloping it completely.

Lin Xinghai and the others waited, feeling a little nervous for her.

If she wasn’t compatible, it would be a problem; she would have to choose an entirely different Divine Demon Body.

Liu Miaomiao didn’t take long. After just over ten seconds, she opened her eyes, a smile gracing her lips. "My Perception Power is feeding back a warm, pleasant sensation. I really am suited for this Divine Demon Body!"
