Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 459: Chapter 457: Already Cleared

Lin Xinghai was focusing all his strength on clearing his meridians, and the process felt absolutely exhilarating.

There were two main difficulties in clearing meridians. The first, of course, was controlling the Energy to strike the precise locations.

The second was to avoid injuring the meridians during the process.

But for Lin Xinghai, neither of these was a problem.

Compared to others, his Perception Power was simply too high. While others could only probe a 100-meter range, he could already probe 600 meters. This six-fold difference made controlling the medicinal effects of the Body Tempering Pill far easier for him.

Moreover, he had a special Magic Technique for using his Perception Power that could elevate his control to an even higher level.

Therefore, while Lin Xinghai couldn’t control the medicinal effects released by the Body Tempering Pill with microscopic precision, he could still manipulate them with ease.

With his level of control, plus the complete inheritance he had obtained, there was no chance he would target the wrong locations while clearing his meridians.

Furthermore, the Body Tempering Pill’s medicinal effects could repair meridians, so he didn’t need to worry about causing injury. This allowed him to charge ahead without any restraint.

So, while others had to be extremely cautious when clearing their meridians, Lin Xinghai could just launch a ferocious assault.

Under these circumstances, the Speed at which Lin Xinghai cleared his meridians could only be described as lightning-fast. At every moment, he could feel the once-blocked meridians being rapidly opened.

...

In the blink of an eye, over four hours had passed, and it was now 7:00 PM.

When Lin Xinghai finished his Cultivation, he was surprised to find everyone still in their dorms. He had no choice but to message them one by one, telling them to come out for dinner.

Ten minutes later, the group met in the dining hall. After getting their food, they began to share their progress.

"Clearing the cultivation meridians for the Divine Demon Body is no joke!" Little Fatty said, starting the conversation.

"You can say that again. It’s way harder than I expected," Sun Tianbo, who had joined them for dinner, chimed in. "Thank goodness for the Body Tempering Pills you gave us, Ye Xin. Otherwise, I’d have a ninety percent chance of failing this assessment."

"Yeah! Some of our classmates started a group chat to share tips," Xie Shanyong added. "I checked it out, and everyone’s just complaining. Right now, the person with the most progress has only cleared 4% of their meridians."

"That’s it? Only 4% in four hours? That means it would take 100 hours to finish!" Little Fatty exclaimed in surprise. "We only have three days, which is 72 hours. Even if those guys don’t eat or sleep, it’s hopeless!"

"Not necessarily," Xie Shanyong said. "It’s officially three days, but if you include the extra Time we got today, it’s closer to three and a half. Besides, people are just starting out and aren’t used to it yet. Their Speed will definitely pick up. If they sacrifice sleep and push themselves, they might just barely manage to finish the task."

"By the way, how much have you all cleared? I’ve gotten through about 8% of the total length," Jin Tong chimed in.

"I’ve already reached 10%," Little Fatty said proudly.

The others spoke up in turn. Since they had all used Body Tempering Pills to clear their meridians, their Speed was naturally much faster, with most of them reporting progress between 7% and 10%.

After they all shared their progress, many of them once again expressed their gratitude toward Little Fatty.

If it weren’t for him, their progress would likely be even slower than their classmates, let alone the significant lead they now had.

After smugly accepting everyone’s thanks, Little Fatty couldn’t help but turn to Lin Xinghai and Liu Miaomiao. "Boss, and you, Miaomiao, what’s your progress?" he asked, full of curiosity.

It wasn’t just Little Fatty. The others also looked at Lin Xinghai with curiosity. After all, he was the undisputed core of their group. The stronger he became, the more help they would receive on future missions.

However, Lin Xinghai didn’t answer right away. Instead, he turned to Liu Miaomiao and asked, "How much of your meridians have you cleared?"

"I’ve cleared about 20%," Liu Miaomiao replied with a smile.

The others couldn’t help but look envious, though they weren’t particularly surprised. After all, Liu Miaomiao’s talent was on full display—she was clearly a whole level above them.

Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but smile. He then asked, "And your Genetic Optimization Level? Are you confident you can raise it to 99% in the next three days?"

"Mhm!" Liu Miaomiao nodded. "The Body Tempering Pill is even more effective than I imagined. I think I can do it in about two days."

That set Lin Xinghai’s mind completely at ease, but he still added a word of caution, "Don’t slack off, though. Keep taking the Body Tempering Pills on the last day to solidify your foundation."

Although Liu Miaomiao had an A Level Genetic Assessment, making it unlikely for an unstable foundation to cause a failed breakthrough...

...what Lin Xinghai truly hoped was for her to use this breakthrough as an opportunity to achieve the third awakening of her Life Control Superpower. For that, the more solid her foundation, the better.

Liu Miaomiao quickly nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Little Fatty, who was standing by, immediately offered to give Liu Miaomiao another ten Body Tempering Pills.

Lin Xinghai didn’t object.

"Boss, how much have you cleared? Do you have 30%?" Little Fatty asked again.

Liu Miaomiao had already cleared 20%; he was naturally even more curious about Lin Xinghai.

"They’re already cleared," Lin Xinghai said.

"Cleared? Boss, I was asking *how much* you’ve cleared..."

Little Fatty’s eyes widened as he spoke. "Boss... do you mean you cleared *all* of your meridians in just four hours?"

Even though Little Fatty had witnessed Lin Xinghai perform miracles many times before, he was still completely stunned.

The others were just as shocked. Having personally experienced how difficult it was to clear meridians, they had a visceral understanding of just how monumental a feat it was for Lin Xinghai to have finished the entire process in only four hours.

"Mhm." Lin Xinghai nodded. There was nothing to hide. In fact, the only reason he had come out for dinner was because he had finished clearing his meridians. Otherwise, he probably would have just ordered takeout.

After Lin Xinghai’s confirmation, a brief silence fell over the group, followed by a torrent of compliments and praise.

After Little Fatty had declared, "Boss, you’re such a badass!" for the umpteenth time, Lin Xinghai had no choice but to cut off his endless stream of chatter. "Is it difficult for you to get Body Tempering Pills? I’d like to buy a batch from you."

"No, no! Boss, just tell me how many you need. I’ll give them to you for free," Little Fatty said, waving his hands dismissively.

"Once or twice is one thing, but I can’t keep taking things from you for free," Lin Xinghai said seriously. "We’re going to be at this academy for four years. Just giving me access to a discounted supply channel would be a huge help in itself."

Seeing how serious Lin Xinghai was, Little Fatty thought for a moment and relented. "Okay, then. How many do you need? I’ll have them sent over."

After a moment of consideration, Lin Xinghai said, "Let’s start with 100 Body Tempering Pills."
