Chapter 630 - 603: Compression Secret Technique

So, to deal with the potential crisis and these ordinary Abyssal Creatures, Lin Xinghai naturally opted to use firearms.

RAT-TAT-TAT!

A dense volley of gunfire erupted. With every shot, an Abyssal Creature fell dead. In the blink of an eye, the 50 Abyssal Creatures near the entrance had all been killed.

The soldiers fighting desperately at Outpost 231 looked on with astonishment.

But before they could even react, Lin Xinghai had already reloaded his magazine at a speed they couldn’t possibly comprehend and resumed firing, continuing to kill the Abyssal Creatures.

’How is he doing that?’ Ding Mao wondered, watching Lin Xinghai swiftly take down one Abyssal Creature after another. His mind was filled with questions.

They knew all too well how high the Defense Power of these Abyssal Creatures was. Forget a Tearing Rifle; even a blast from a Hand Cannon wasn’t guaranteed to kill one with a single bullet.

As the soldiers of Outpost 231 watched in a daze, Lin Xinghai stood at the entrance and began to slaughter the Abyssal Creatures.

The Tearing Rifle in his hands spat flames continuously. On full-auto mode, he was steadily killing 50 Abyssal Creatures every five seconds.

Then, he would swiftly reload his magazine and continue firing.

By the time everyone snapped out of it, Lin Xinghai had already killed all the Abyssal Creatures in the area near the entrance.

Suddenly, they saw Lin Xinghai stop shooting. Just as they were wondering why, he turned his head toward them.

"I’m out of ammo," Lin Xinghai said. "Bring me some Armor-Piercing Bullets, and I need two people to help load magazines."

’It’s so much better having Little Fatty around,’ he thought suddenly. ’I wouldn’t even have to ask; he’d have it done already.’

Ding Mao, who had been spectating, was jolted by Lin Xinghai’s shout. He immediately grabbed two soldiers and rushed over.

"Hello, I’m the commander here, Ding Mao. Thank you so much for the rescue," Ding Mao said. Then, as if a lightbulb went off, he astutely handed over his own Tearing Rifle.

Lin Xinghai took it without hesitation and glanced at the other soldier. "You, give me your Tearing Rifle, too!"

"Huh?" The soldier was confused, but having witnessed Lin Xinghai slaughtering the Abyssal Creatures, he quickly handed over his firearm.

With two firearms in hand, Lin Xinghai unleashed his full firepower. Dual-wielding the rifles, he instantly doubled the rate at which he killed the charging Abyssal Creatures.

Although Ding Mao had become somewhat desensitized to Lin Xinghai’s Gun Technique, he couldn’t help but shudder at this sight, his expression like he’d just seen a ghost.

But as a commander, his mind was still clear. Suppressing his shock, he quickly called another seven or eight men over to help load magazines.

Even with several people working together, their speed at loading magazines could barely keep up with Lin Xinghai’s rate of fire.

After getting everything arranged, Ding Mao could no longer contain his curiosity. He edged forward a few steps to observe the Abyssal Creatures Lin Xinghai had shot.

He was then horrified to discover that the bullets had all struck the Abyssal Creatures in extremely vulnerable spots, such as their eyes and mouths.

’How is he doing that?’ The thought resurfaced in Ding Mao’s mind.

Theoretically, if a bullet hit the eyes or mouth, it could indeed penetrate the brain for a one-shot kill.

The problem was, the Speed of these Abyssal Creatures was at least four to five times that of an ordinary High Level Zombie.

Even a Divine Sharpshooter from the military wouldn’t dare claim they could hit their heads one hundred percent of the time.

As for hitting weak spots like the eyes and mouth, that was pure fantasy.

And that’s not even mentioning someone like Lin Xinghai, who was using full-auto mode and still maintaining perfect accuracy.

It was no different from a fairy tale.

Of course, Lin Xinghai didn’t know how much he had stunned Ding Mao. Even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared. After all, with his current status, he no longer needed to explain himself to anyone.

As he fired, he was analyzing the difference between his High Level Shooting Skill and his Intermediate Shooting Skill.

In truth, compared to the intermediate version, the High Level Shooting Skill didn’t offer much of an improvement in terms of actual Gun Technique. It just made him more proficient.

This proficiency made holding and firing his firearms feel as natural as breathing. Under these conditions, his accuracy would be terrifyingly high even if he were just shooting on instinct.

Of course, if that was all there was to it, the system wouldn’t have needed to create a separate category for High Level Shooting Skill.

The most fundamental difference between High Level Shooting Skill and Intermediate Shooting Skill was an additional ability.

With Intermediate Shooting Skill, Lin Xinghai could already use his Perception Power to control bullets and alter their trajectory.

Now that he’d mastered the High Level Shooting Skill, his new ability was to compress his Blood Qi Power and inject it into a bullet, causing its power to skyrocket.

If he were to break down the High Level Shooting Skill, it was as if Lin Xinghai had gained another Secret Technique—and this time, it was a genuine Blood Qi Power Secret Technique.

Condensing and compressing Blood Qi Power, then firing it off, sounded very simple.

In fact... it was very simple. Basically, anyone who reached the Body Shaping Realm could do it.

However, a product of the system had never disappointed Lin Xinghai. The reason he considered it a Secret Technique was because this skill could compress Blood Qi Power indefinitely.

You had to understand that while those in the Body Shaping Realm could also compress and condense Blood Qi Power for an external attack, there was a limit. Generally, the maximum they could control was 100 points of Blood Qi Power.

Even for those who reached the Divine Demon Realm, it was difficult to compress more than 1,000 points of Blood Qi Power without special techniques.

But the High Level Shooting Skill was different. The proficiency percentage of the Gun Technique determined what percentage of his total Blood Qi Power he could compress into a single bullet.

In other words, if Lin Xinghai’s proficiency with High Level Shooting Skill reached 100%, he could compress every last bit of Blood Qi Power in his body into a single bullet.

It’s important to note that typical Martial Arts had a limit on how much Blood Qi Power could be infused. For instance, with the Earth Level Martial Arts, Wind and Thunder Spear Technique, that Lin Xinghai currently knew, executing a single move would cost 300 points of Blood Qi Power at most.

Even if he cultivated this Earth Level Martial Arts to the Perfection Realm, increasing the move’s power and its Blood Qi Power consumption, a single move would still cap out at 1,000 points of Blood Qi Power.

Even the Martial Arts that came with his Thunder Divine Body had an upper limit on its Blood Qi Power consumption. According to Lin Xinghai’s estimates, the absolute limit for a single move was a consumption of 10,000 points of Blood Qi Power.

But this Secret Technique within the High Level Shooting Skill was different. It allowed for infinite compression. The ultimate power of the resulting attack depended entirely on the vastness of the user’s own Blood Qi Power.

That’s why Lin Xinghai felt that, in a way, this Blood Qi Power Compression Secret Technique could almost be called a Divine Skill.

Of course, for now, this Divine Skill wasn’t very useful to him. For one, his proficiency in High Level Shooting Skill was only 1%, meaning he could only compress a little over two hundred points of Blood Qi Power into a bullet. The resulting boost wasn’t significant.

The other reason was that attacking with pure Blood Qi Power just wasn’t cost-effective.

After all, when he used Thunder Element Martial Arts, the power was boosted several times over by bonuses from the move itself, his Thunder Divine Body, his Special Physique, and Mjolnir.

Take his Thunderstorm, for example. Although it only consumed 300 points of Blood Qi Power, its attack power already reached the level of the Divine Demon Realm.

But to achieve the same effect by compressing Blood Qi Power, he would need at least 1,500 points.

So, in the short term, the Compression Secret Technique was destined to be nothing more than a supplementary tool for Lin Xinghai.

Lin Xinghai estimated that he would have to wait until he reached the Divine Demon Realm and possessed over a hundred thousand points of Blood Qi Power before this Compression Secret Technique could truly display its power.
