Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 462: Chapter 460: Joy and Shock

As the student spoke, many people looked into the distance. Sure enough, they saw Lin Xinghai walking toward them at an unhurried pace.

And just as the student had said, a massive group of people was trailing behind Lin Xinghai.

After distributing the Energy Balls he had collected, Lin Xinghai had 18 left over in addition to the ones he gave Little Fatty and his group.

This meant that, besides his own group of four and Xie Shanyong’s group, the number of people now qualified to enter Class One reached 22.

With the help of the Body Tempering Pills provided by Little Fatty, all of them had managed to clear their meridians quite easily within these three days.

So many people arriving at once, at least compared to the number already waiting here, was an imposing sight.

The onlookers were almost all stunned. A bold idea surfaced in their minds, only to be dismissed an instant later.

Jian Hua watched as Lin Xinghai led the crowd over. He frowned slightly and said in a heavy tone, "I made it very clear in my message. Only those who have cleared the meridians of their Divine Demon Body are permitted to come. The Creation Blood Pool is one of our academy’s most precious sites; it is not a spectacle for casual viewing."

Lin Xinghai knew Jian Hua had misunderstood. He immediately explained, "Instructor Jian Hua, I’m afraid you’re mistaken. All of my team members have met the requirement. That’s why they are here."

This time, it wasn’t just Jian Hua; all the other students were stunned as well.

Their first thought was: ’How is that possible?’

It wasn’t that they looked down on others, but the requirements for clearing one’s meridians in just three days, especially regarding Perception Power, were simply too high.

More importantly, every single person Lin Xinghai had brought with him was full of vigor, as if clearing their meridians had been no trouble at all.

This was something they couldn’t quite accept. Only those who had gone through it themselves understood just how difficult it was to clear one’s meridians.

Even for the Special Class Students, it hadn’t been easy. Many of them, like Yan Feijie, had spent two and a half days just to barely succeed.

There were even some among them who hadn’t slept at all for the past three days. They had seized every moment to work on their meridians—even while eating or using the restroom—just to finish in the nick of time.

But no matter how much they disbelieved, when they met Lin Xinghai’s calm gaze, they had no choice but to accept this reality.

After all, this was not something one could lie about. Once they entered the Creation Blood Pool, they would have to circulate their Cultivation Techniques.

As for Jian Hua, after taking a dozen or so seconds to process this reality, his face lit up with pure ecstasy.

With the arrival of Lin Xinghai’s group, the number of people qualified to enter the Creation Blood Pool had now reached a staggering 52.

The record had been completely shattered!

He didn’t care how Lin Xinghai had done it. In any case, when this matter was reported, it would be a mark of his own achievement.

"Excellent! Excellent! Everyone has performed wonderfully. Since all are present, let’s go in and activate the Creation Blood Pool!" Jian Hua said with a radiant smile.

He took the lead, and the crowd followed behind. However, Lin Xinghai stood out conspicuously among them.

It wasn’t that he was particularly outstanding in appearance, but that Little Fatty and the others had unconsciously formed a circle around him, placing him at the very center like the moon surrounded by stars. Under these circumstances, anyone could tell with a single glance that Lin Xinghai was the core of this group of students.

This sight filled Yan Feijie and the others with a mixture of envy and helplessness.

During the assessment, they had also recruited a group of students. Some had even gathered more people than Lin Xinghai.

The problem was that most of those students were Second or Third Class Students. There were very few First Class Students to begin with, and even those they managed to recruit weren’t guaranteed to pass this test and make it to the Creation Blood Pool.

To have even one or two followers make it here with them was considered quite an achievement. Someone like Yuan Zheng was even more unlucky, with not a single follower by his side.

"Brother Lin, how did you do it? How did you get so many people to clear their meridians?" Yan Feijie asked curiously as he walked up to Lin Xinghai’s side.

At this, everyone around, including Jian Hua walking at the very front, pricked up their ears.

"Haha, it’s not actually my accomplishment," Lin Xinghai explained. "Ye Xin bought the Body Tempering Pills and lent them to us. We only managed it with the help of those elixirs."

Hearing the words "Body Tempering Pill," the expressions on the faces of the crowd varied. Some had looks of sudden realization, some of envy, and some of disdain.

"Body Tempering Pills are so expensive, and you’d probably need to use several in a row to clear your meridians! Is it really worth it just to enter the Creation Blood Pool?" one of the exhausted-looking students couldn’t help but mutter.

To clear his own meridians, he had used a full 10 vials of High Level Medicine Liquid, and that stuff cost 1,000 Huaxia Coins per vial.

Spending 10,000 Huaxia Coins had already made him feel the pinch.

He really couldn’t understand how someone could be so extravagant as to use Body Tempering Pills—which cost twenty to thirty thousand each—just to clear their meridians.

"Of course, it’s worth it!" However, the one who answered this time wasn’t Lin Xinghai or Little Fatty, but Jian Hua, who was leading the way.

"The effects of the Creation Blood Pool are greater than you can imagine. As your instructor, let me give you a piece of advice."

"If you have any spare energy while you’re breaking through, try to circulate your Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation Technique to absorb more of the medicinal power. Don’t wait until after your breakthrough to absorb it slowly. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

As Jian Hua spoke, he turned back to look at Lin Xinghai and the other Special Class Students. His words were clearly intended for these top geniuses.

He was hoping someone could continue to break records by completing the first stage of the Divine Demon Body Cultivation within the Creation Blood Pool.

Hearing Jian Hua’s reminder again, the students’ expressions became much more solemn. It was clear they had taken his words to heart.

However, Lin Xinghai glanced at Little Fatty and the others beside him. He felt that simply hearing the advice wasn’t enough; he had to make them truly understand the gravity of the situation.

So, he deliberately slowed his pace. Once a small gap had formed between their group and the one ahead, he said softly, "Over the past few days, I’ve been working on my Thunder Divine Body."

Lin Xinghai’s first sentence immediately captured everyone’s attention.

Lin Xinghai looked at them and continued, "My Thunder Divine Body progress is now at 6%, but... it cost me 60 Body Tempering Pills."

"It takes 10 Body Tempering Pills to increase my progress by 1%. You can do the math on how much money you’ll save by working hard in the Creation Blood Pool!"

After saying this, Lin Xinghai picked up his pace again to catch up with the group. But the people who heard his words were left standing there, completely dumbfounded.
