Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 456: Chapter 454: The Half-Year Agreement

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xinghai saw Zuo Wenyao hurrying over.

"Tell me what you’re thinking." When Zuo Wenyao arrived, he didn’t immediately question him like the others. Instead, he asked calmly.

Compared to the other instructors at the academy, Zuo Wenyao could be said to be the person who understood Lin Xinghai best.

So he knew very well that Lin Xinghai wasn’t just a student with outstanding talent; his temperament and his way of handling matters were both first-class.

This was evident from the assessment back then, when Yan Feijie and the others gathered a large group to deal with Lin Xinghai, only for him to trigger a zombie tide and turn it against them.

That’s why he didn’t believe Lin Xinghai would have rashly decided to cultivate the Thunder Divine Body.

Faced with Zuo Wenyao’s inquiry, Lin Xinghai didn’t dare to be so casual. He knew that if he wanted to cultivate the Thunder Divine Body in peace, he had to get past Zuo Wenyao.

"Teacher Zuo, you know my talent. If I just cultivate an ordinary Divine Demon Body like everyone else, it would be a great disservice to my talent. Since I have this kind of talent, why not try for the best?"

"Besides, the academy’s expectations for top geniuses like us aren’t as simple as just reaching the Divine Demon Realm, right? They must hope we can break through our shackles and reach an even higher Realm."

"If I can’t even cultivate the Thunder Divine Body, then I can forget about ever surpassing the Divine Demon Realm in the future," Lin Xinghai said with a serious expression.

His tone was incredibly bold, yet after hearing him, Zuo Wenyao couldn’t help but nod.

After all, in his mind, Lin Xinghai was a Demon. If he were just trained like an ordinary genius, it really could be a waste of such talent.

However, that didn’t mean he was convinced just like that.

"But have you considered what you’ll do if you can’t break through to the Divine Demon Realm by cultivating the Thunder Divine Body? Too many geniuses have walked this path before, but none have ever succeeded."

"So we can’t help but suspect it’s a problem with the Cultivation Technique itself. If that’s the case, then it doesn’t matter how high your talent is; it would be useless." Zuo Wenyao laid the problem bare.

While he didn’t want to waste Lin Xinghai’s talent, he was even more worried about Lin Xinghai walking into a dead end. In that case, it would be far worse than just wasting talent.

Hearing Zuo Wenyao’s question, Lin Xinghai breathed a sigh of relief internally. What he feared most was the instructor rejecting his idea outright.

Since Zuo Wenyao was discussing it with him now, it meant that deep down, the instructor approved of his earlier reasoning.

’That makes things easier.’

"I have indeed thought about this problem. So, let’s make a deal. If I can’t break through to the Divine Demon Realm within two years, I’ll switch to another Divine Demon Body and start my Cultivation over." Lin Xinghai directly stated the idea he had in mind.

Zuo Wenyao: "..."

For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond. Reaching the Divine Demon Realm in two years... If what he said before was just bold, this was downright insane.

"Reaching the Divine Demon Realm isn’t as simple as you think. You might have had a fast Cultivation speed before, but as your Realm increases, the difficulty of Cultivation rises exponentially," Zuo Wenyao said seriously.

He felt he had an obligation to make the boy see reality. After all, confidence was one thing, but arrogance was another.

But he had barely started speaking when Lin Xinghai interrupted him. "Instructor Zuo, whether or not I can do this isn’t something we can settle with an argument. Just watch my performance over the next two years."

"Even if I can’t break through to the Divine Demon Realm in two years, I’ll at least reach the Peak of Body Shaping Realm. At that point, even if I switch to another Divine Demon Body and start my Cultivation over, it will take a year at most. I’ll still be able to break through to the Divine Demon Realm by my senior year."

Zuo Wenyao: "..."

If any other student had dared to say that, he would have slapped them silly. But recalling Lin Xinghai’s past performance, he forcibly suppressed the urge.

"Two years is too long. I can’t let you waste that much time. I’ll give you six months. If you can break through to the Body Shaping Realm in six months, then you can continue cultivating the Thunder Divine Body. If not, you switch to another Divine Demon Body." Zuo Wenyao proposed a harsh condition.

"Deal!" Lin Xinghai agreed in a heartbeat, a smile of relief appearing on his face.

The only thing he lacked was Time. Six months might be short for others, but for him, it was more than long enough.

Seeing Lin Xinghai agree so readily, Zuo Wenyao opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.

Watching Lin Xinghai’s departing figure, he couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Zuo Wenyao truly didn’t dare to imagine what a terrifying thing it would be if Lin Xinghai actually broke through to the Divine Demon Realm within two years.

’No, I have to pick up my pace and break through to the Divine Demon Realm Middle Stage too.’ Zuo Wenyao felt a sudden sense of urgency. If his own student surpassed his Cultivation, how could he ever show his face again?

’At the very least, I can’t let him surpass me before he graduates.’ Zuo Wenyao set a goal for himself.

...

After Lin Xinghai finished talking with Zuo Wenyao and returned to the library, Liu Miaomiao and the others had already finished receiving the first stage of the Divine Demon Body inheritance through the Memory Transmitters.

"Ah Xing, how did it go? Did Instructor Zuo agree to let you cultivate the Thunder Divine Body?" Liu Miaomiao asked with concern.

"Mhm!" Lin Xinghai nodded.

"Boss, how’d you manage that?" Little Fatty asked from the side, his face full of amazement.

"I made a deal with Instructor Zuo to break through to the Body Shaping Realm within six months," Lin Xinghai said.

Little Fatty’s mouth fell open, momentarily speechless.

Jian Hua, who had quietly walked over at some point, couldn’t stop the corner of his mouth from twitching.

He really didn’t know what gave Lin Xinghai the confidence to be sure he could break through to the Body Shaping Realm in six months while cultivating the Thunder Divine Body.

’But what if he actually does it?’ Jian Hua fell into deep thought.

Somehow, when facing a student who was only at the Optimized Realm, he, a cultivator in the Body Shaping Realm Late Stage, was beginning to feel something called pressure.

Lin Xinghai had no time to worry about what the other man was thinking. Seeing a student emerge from a Memory Transmitter, he walked right over and began to receive the inheritance of the Thunder Divine Body.

Ten minutes later, when Lin Xinghai finished receiving the inheritance and walked out, news of his six-month deal with Zuo Wenyao had already spread.

The other students looked at Lin Xinghai with complicated expressions mixed with admiration, though there was no shortage of doubt, of course.
