Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 455: Chapter 453: Explanation

Lin Xinghai had no intention of revealing that he had obtained the inheritance for the Thunder Divine Body just yet.

Because something like this was truly impossible to explain.

Right now, those Divine Demon Realm experts were probably all trying everything they could to break through to a higher Realm.

If it was discovered that he had obtained the inheritance, it would be hard to guarantee that those people wouldn’t get any funny ideas.

So, no matter how he looked at it, he had to keep this a secret for now.

He believed that with the system, the Speed at which his strength grew would be unmatched. If he could just keep this a secret for a year or so, he estimated he would have already broken through to the Divine Demon Realm. It wouldn’t be too late to reveal everything then.

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Lin Xinghai unhurriedly went over to the stone slabs, touching them one by one as if nothing had just happened.

He soon left the corner and rejoined Liu Miaomiao and the others.

"How’d it go, Boss? Have you decided which Divine Demon Body you want to learn?" Little Fatty asked as soon as he saw Lin Xinghai return.

"Yeah, I’m going to learn the Thunder Divine Body," Lin Xinghai said directly, seeing no reason to hide it.

After hearing this, they all took a moment to recall what they knew about the Thunder Divine Body and were stunned.

"Ah Xing, isn’t it too risky to choose that Divine Demon Body?" Liu Miaomiao immediately blurted out.

"Yeah, Boss! A lot of people have tried to practice the Thunder Divine Body, but none of them ever reached the Divine Demon Realm. It might be strong, but it’s just not worth it!" Little Fatty added, trying to explain.

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. I’m a good match for the Thunder Divine Body," Lin Xinghai explained, then added confidently, "Besides, just because others couldn’t do it doesn’t mean I can’t."

Seeing the confident look on Lin Xinghai’s face, Little Fatty opened his mouth, but he suddenly didn’t know what to say to dissuade him.

However, Liu Miaomiao had known Lin Xinghai longer and had seen him work miracles more than once. She smiled and said, "I believe in you."

After that, Lin Xinghai and the others made small talk, but he kept most of his attention on the Thunder Divine Body’s Inheritance Stone Slab. He was genuinely worried someone might suddenly walk over and try their luck with it, just as he had.

Fortunately, that never happened.

「An hour later, Instructor Jian Hua reappeared.」

"Alright, I assume you have all made your selections. We will now leave for the library to get everyone registered. We’ll use a Memory Transmitter to help you learn the Cultivation Technique for your chosen Divine Demon Body," Jian Hua announced.

Lin Xinghai let out a quiet sigh of relief, glad they could finally leave.

Soon, the group left the research building in an orderly fashion and headed for the library.

At the library, Jian Hua was joined by several teaching assistants. They started handing out forms for everyone to fill out with their chosen Divine Demon Body, which would help with the subsequent arrangements.

Lin Xinghai quickly filled his out and handed it in.

For Lin Xinghai, all of this was just a formality. After all, he had already completely mastered the entire inheritance of the Thunder Divine Body.

But it was a process he had to go through. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain what happened later.

Lin Xinghai wanted to keep a low profile, but some things just couldn’t be kept quiet, no matter how much he wished they could.

Before long, Jian Hua walked over with the completed forms.

"Lin, I need to remind you that the Thunder Divine Body can’t be cultivated to the Divine Demon Realm. I suggest you choose a different Divine Demon Body," Jian Hua said politely.

He was only being this patient because it was Lin Xinghai. If it had been any other student, he would have chewed them out already. After all, this was all material he had covered in his lectures.

"Instructor Jian Hua, I’m aware of all that, but I still want to pursue the Thunder Divine Body," Lin Xinghai said in a serious tone.

Jian Hua studied Lin Xinghai’s expression, and upon confirming he wasn’t joking, couldn’t help but frown.

"Your strength is impressive. There’s no need to rush things. Even if you want to compete for the academy’s Hero Ranking, just by cultivating steadily, you’d probably make the list by your sophomore year, even if you don’t manage it this semester. Your talent is that good," Jian Hua thought for a moment before continuing his patient persuasion.

Although the Thunder Divine Body can’t be cultivated to the Divine Demon Realm, it can unleash terrifying power in the early stages.

So, a few years back, a student had a wild idea. He planned to first learn the Thunder Divine Body, compete for a spot on the Hero Ranking while still in the Blood Qi Realm, and use the extra resources from that to pull ahead of everyone else.

As for the issue of not being able to break through, he planned to just switch to a different Divine Demon Body later on.

The student actually achieved decent results early on. Despite having only average talent, he leveraged the power of the Thunder Divine Body to break into the top ten of the Hero Ranking while he was in the Blood Qi Realm, earning a substantial amount of resources as a reward.

However, while his plan seemed clever, he miscalculated the time it would take to switch to a different Divine Demon Body. Worse, the process damaged his meridians.

Although the student managed to switch Divine Demon Bodies as planned, his early advantage completely vanished. In fact, because of his injured meridians, he ended up falling to the back of his class.

This harsh lesson was enough to extinguish any similar ideas from students who were tempted to take a shortcut.

Jian Hua assumed Lin Xinghai had come up with the same scheme, which was why he felt compelled to talk him out of it.

His words, however, left Lin Xinghai feeling a bit lost.

Seeing Lin Xinghai’s confused expression, Little Fatty immediately came over and, like a walking encyclopedia, started explaining in a low voice.

"Instructor Jian Hua, I honestly don’t have some ulterior motive. I just feel that the Thunder Divine Body is a good fit for me and its power is impressive, so I want to practice it," Lin Xinghai could only explain once more.

"Then how do you plan to solve the problem of not being able to break through to the Divine Demon Realm?" Jian Hua asked.

He wouldn’t have bothered saying more if it were anyone else. Most geniuses who attempted the Thunder Divine Body probably couldn’t even break through to the Body Shaping Realm. But for Lin Xinghai, he felt an obligation to try and talk sense into him.

"The Cultivation Technique for the Thunder Divine Body isn’t actually incomplete. In theory, it should be perfectly possible to cultivate it to the Divine Demon Realm. If other people couldn’t reach that Realm, it’s probably because their talent didn’t meet the requirements," Lin Xinghai replied after a moment’s thought.

Jian Hua suddenly felt a headache coming on. Lin Xinghai’s tone might have been modest, but that didn’t change the substance of his words.

He was essentially saying that everyone who had ever attempted the Thunder Divine Body before simply lacked the talent.

’The sheer arrogance is off the charts!’

"Does your personal mentor, Zuo Wenyao, know about this decision?" Jian Hua thought for a moment, then decided to stop arguing with Lin Xinghai and brought Zuo Wenyao into it.

"Er... not yet." Lin Xinghai’s head started to ache. ’This is getting more and more complicated,’ he thought.

"Fine, then. I’ll inform him. Zuo Wenyao is your personal mentor. If he gives his approval, then I’ll have nothing more to say." Jian Hua pulled out his wrist-mounted computer, sent a message, and walked over to the next student without another word.
