Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 328: Halfway Successful

Lin Xinghai’s idea was actually very simple: use the System Technique to continue strengthening his body.

Although his current Genetic Optimization Level had already reached 99%, did that mean his body couldn’t be improved any further?

The answer, of course, was no.

Previously, when Fang Tianhe’s Genetic Optimization Level reached 99%, why wasn’t he in a hurry to break through?

It was because he wanted to properly polish and continue to strengthen his body, increasing the probability of successfully breaking through to become one of the Optimized.

Moreover, Lin Xinghai had also heard Qin Wenbo of the Soaring Dragon Merc say something similar when they spoke before.

He had tried to break through to the Blood Qi Realm once but failed. Now, without complete preparation, he didn’t dare to try again and could only continuously polish his body.

And after three months of polishing his body, the weakest of his three Attributes, Speed, had actually increased by 1 point, from the original 85 to 86.

At the time, Qin Wenbo hadn’t seemed to care much when he mentioned it, only bringing it up because it was surprising. Lin Xinghai hadn’t paid it much mind when he heard it, either. After all, gaining just one Attribute point in three months was nothing. If not for a failed breakthrough, who would be willing to get stuck at this stage?

But now that he had discovered the System Technique, Lin Xinghai took this matter to heart.

Although his Genetic Optimization Level was now 99%, in the end, only his Speed Attribute had reached its peak.

But his Physique and Power were still lagging far behind, especially his Power, which was only at 87 points.

If the System Technique could accelerate this polishing process, he could undoubtedly make up for all his shortcomings. And the more solid his foundation, the greater the benefits he would undoubtedly reap in the future.

Putting thought into action, Lin Xinghai immediately took out a bottle of Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid.

He couldn’t conjure Blood Qi Power out of thin air like the system could, so he could only use this Genetic Medicine Liquid as a substitute. After all, Genetic Medicine Liquid contained Blood Qi Power.

"DING! Special Energy detected in the body. Convert to Blood Qi Power?"

This time, Lin Xinghai directly chose no.

As the Genetic Medicine Liquid was digested, it gradually broke down, turning into streams of Blood Qi Power that spread throughout his limbs and bones, beginning to increase his physical strength.

But since Lin Xinghai’s body had almost reached its limit, this Blood Qi Power had little to no effect. If left alone, it would eventually dissipate.

However, this Blood Qi Power was exactly what Lin Xinghai wanted. He immediately released his Perception Power and began to guide the Blood Qi Power toward those special meridians.

Normally, someone who was merely one of the Optimized shouldn’t be able to control the Blood Qi Power in their body at all. After all, that was something only experts at the Blood Qi Realm could do.

But at this moment, Lin Xinghai managed it. The reason was entirely due to his Intermediate Shooting Skill—that special Magic Technique for using Perception Power.

One had to know, the Intermediate Shooting Skill could use Perception Power to alter a bullet’s trajectory.

Although Lin Xinghai’s current Perception Power couldn’t move physical objects, Blood Qi Power was just a type of Energy and didn’t have much mass. He could just barely control its movement.

Under normal circumstances, when ingesting Genetic Medicine Liquid to strengthen the body, one wouldn’t feel much, at most a warm sensation spreading through the body.

However, when this Blood Qi Power was guided into those special meridians and began to circulate according to the Cultivation Technique’s path, a sudden wave of pain washed over him.

At that moment, Lin Xinghai’s eyes lit up.

’It’s just as I thought!’

He had guessed correctly. The reason the system could raise his Genetic Optimization Level so quickly was obviously because of this Cultivation Technique.

His first guess had now been proven right. The next step was to see if he could use the System Technique to continue strengthening his body without breaking the fourth Genetic Lock.

However, his excitement didn’t last long before he felt that something was wrong.

Although it was painful when the system strengthened his body, that pain was caused by his body rapidly growing stronger under the stimulation of Blood Qi Power.

That kind of pain, aside from the ache itself, didn’t actually cause any damage to his body.

But now, in addition to the ache, there was also a stabbing, needle-like pain.

Instantly, Lin Xinghai sensed something was off. He soon discovered the source of the problem.

The Blood Qi Power he was guiding was actually causing some damage to his meridians as it circulated using the System Technique.

’How could this be?’ Lin Xinghai was completely baffled, constantly recalling the differences between when the system strengthened his body and what he was doing now.

He soon discovered it was because of the Blood Qi Power.

The Blood Qi Power provided by the system was incomparably pure, but the Blood Qi Power from the Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid he had ingested was somewhat impure.

Having found the root of the problem, Lin Xinghai’s eyes snapped open and he stood up.

"Huh? Why are you finished so quickly?" Liu Miaomiao asked, a little surprised.

Previously, when Lin Xinghai strengthened his body, it took at least half an hour. But this time, she had only just brought over a towel for him to wipe his sweat.

"My Genetic Optimization Level has already reached 99%. This Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid can no longer help me strengthen my body," Lin Xinghai said.

"Ah! Then what will you do?" Liu Miaomiao asked subconsciously.

"I’m going to find Elder Wei. I heard there’s something called High Level Gene Medicine Liquid. I’ll see if I can get some," Lin Xinghai said as he put on his jacket and headed out the door.

Watching Lin Xinghai’s departing figure, Liu Miaomiao gradually realized what had felt off just now.

’A Genetic Optimization Level of 99%? Oh my god! Doesn’t that mean he can break the fourth Genetic Lock any moment now?’

At that moment, Liu Miaomiao had no time to consider why Lin Xinghai would still want to continue strengthening his body. She was now filled with a sense of crisis, afraid that the gap between her and Lin Xinghai was growing ever wider.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t be bothered to continue binge-watching her shows. Instead, she went to the villa’s private gym and began to train as well, trying her best to accelerate her absorption of the Genetic Medicine Liquid.

Meanwhile, after leaving the house, Lin Xinghai quickly rushed to the Upper Level District and arrived at the administrative building.

His current identity was the vice-director of the Shelter, so even without an appointment or invitation, he could go anywhere in the building with his authority.

He soon reached the top floor and pushed open the door to Wei Tianxing’s office.

Wei Tianxing, who was looking through documents, was first stunned to see Lin Xinghai enter, then asked nervously, "Xiaohai, is something wrong?"

At this moment, his greatest fear was that Lin Xinghai would just throw out the words: I quit!

"Old Wei, can you help me get some High Level Gene Medicine Liquid?" Lin Xinghai asked directly.

"High Level Gene Medicine Liquid? What do you need that stuff for?" Wei Tianxing asked, full of curiosity after letting out a sigh of relief.

"My Genetic Optimization Level has reached 99%, but as you know, I have a Special Physique. If I can get my hands on purer Genetic Medicine Liquid, I feel like I can continue to strengthen my body," Lin Xinghai said.
