Chapter 718: Chapter 688: Astonishing Battle Record (Part 1)

Zuo Wenyao immediately understood what was going on, but Chen Yushi, who was standing to the side, was completely lost.

“Stop talking in riddles. What on earth is going on?” Chen Yushi said irritably.

“Celestial Tier Martial Arts!” Zuo Wenyao explained the reason with just those four words.

Chen Yushi was instantly dumbfounded. Then, his gaze toward Lin Xinghai gradually grew fervent.

“Don’t even think about it. Unless you can cultivate the Thunder Divine Body, you won’t be able to use the Thunder God Spear technique,” Zuo Wenyao immediately shot down his idea.

At this, Chen Yushi recalled their earlier conversation, where they had mentioned things like the “Thunder Divine Body inheritance” and “complementary Martial Arts.”

He seemed to understand many things in an instant. He looked at Zuo Wenyao in shock and asked, “You mean to say that these Celestial Tier Techniques are actually hidden within our Divine Demon Bodies, and we just haven’t been able to find them?”

“That’s more or less it! But don’t worry about it for now. You need the true inheritance for that. The Seed Plan Execution Department is already working on a way,” Zuo Wenyao revealed.

Chen Yushi recalled the various events of the past few days, gave Lin Xinghai a thoughtful look, and didn’t press the matter further.

Just then, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but speak up. “Teacher, that Spitter is getting away. If we don’t go after it now, it’ll be too late.”

In fact, after seeing the Giant Arm killed so easily, the Spitter didn’t dare to linger for even a moment. It had fled at the first opportunity and was now already more than three kilometers away.

Hearing this, Chen Yushi shook his head and said, “It’s already gotten that far. How can we possibly catch it? If we actually chase it down, the round trip will take too long. By then, more Fourth Level Mutated Zombies might show up, which would just be even more trouble.”

But then, Zuo Wenyao spoke up. “That’s just because you haven’t seen enough. Come on, my good disciple, let’s show him our top speed.”

“Yes!” Lin Xinghai nodded and enveloped Zuo Wenyao with his Time Acceleration Ability.

The next moment, a stunned Chen Yushi watched as Zuo Wenyao shot forward with Lin Xinghai in tow.

Of course, that wasn’t the main point. The crucial detail was that the speed Zuo Wenyao unleashed had reached a terrifying 300,000 points.

Yes, he was absolutely sure he hadn’t seen it wrong. The speed Zuo Wenyao had just unleashed was something other Divine Demon Realm experts could only dream of.

One had to understand that even for Divine Demon Realm experts with Speed-type Superpowers, their peak speed would only be in the low hundred thousands, even with boosts from things like Martial Arts Body Techniques.

Even using a Burst Secret Technique, it would be impossible to reach such a speed.

And soon, Chen Yushi’s gaze fell upon Lin Xinghai, and his eyes slowly widened.

‘His Superpower can even be used on others… That’s too terrifying.’ At that moment, Chen Yushi felt Lin Xinghai’s importance more keenly than ever.

The difference in importance between a Superpower that can only be used by one person and one that can be used on a group is absolutely night and day.

A myriad of thoughts flooded his mind at that moment, and while he was lost in them, Zuo Wenyao had already caught up to the long-fled Spitter.

And relying on his absolutely overwhelming speed, he easily dodged the Spitter’s sky-filling spray of venom and closed in on it.

One could only imagine the consequences of a Spitter, with its low Defense Power, being approached at close range by a Divine Demon Realm expert a full Level higher.

Three punches!

Lin Xinghai watched as Zuo Wenyao, after transforming into a Flame Giant, beat the creature to death with just three punches.

Immediately after, Zuo Wenyao took Lin Xinghai and quickly returned to the convoy, following the same path back.

“Let’s get out of here quickly! The Abyssal Plane really went all out this time. It was one thing for them to ambush us on the perimeter, but I can’t believe they also sent two Fourth Level Mutated Zombies after you. It’s a good thing you took care of them.” Only then did Zuo Wenyao let out a sigh of relief.

When he had first rushed out, he’d scanned the area with his Perception Power and discovered the corpses of the Death Claw and Hunter in the distance, so he had already guessed what Lin Xinghai’s group had encountered.

“There were Mutated Zombies ambushing you on the perimeter too?” Lin Xinghai asked, surprised.

“That’s right! They dispatched over a dozen Fourth Level Mutated Zombies to the perimeter, seemingly with the specific goal of intercepting us Divine Demon Realm experts.”

“Luckily, other Divine Demon Realm experts came to help tie them down, and we had to fight like hell to break through.”

At this point, Zuo Wenyao became a little confused. “Huh? The Abyssal Plane went to so much trouble to intercept us, so why did they only send two Fourth Level Mutated Zombies to kill you?”

“That’s not it. There were three Mutated Zombies in total sent to hunt us down. Besides the Peak of Fourth Level Death Claw and Giant Arm, there was also a Fourth Level Late Stage Hunter.”

“But after I used a Cloud Burst Bomb to kill the Death Claw and the Hunter, the Giant Arm was also heavily injured and didn’t dare to pursue us. It ended up fleeing later,” Lin Xinghai explained.

Now Zuo Wenyao was truly stunned. He had only been able to detect the corpses of the Death Claw and Hunter, but since a creature’s aura dissipates after death, he couldn’t determine their specific Levels.

The high Levels were one thing, but to think they had sent three Mutated Zombies after Lin Xinghai all at once… He recalled the phone call Lin Xinghai had made to him before setting out. His worries had truly become a self-fulfilling prophecy, and the reality was even more terrifying than his worst-case scenario.

“You managed to survive even that… Impressive,” Chen Yushi remarked with a sigh after hearing Lin Xinghai’s account.

If it had been him facing such a death trap, he wouldn’t dare claim he was confident of surviving, or even that he could stall long enough for rescue to arrive.

After all, a Peak of Fourth Level Death Claw and Giant Arm were not opponents that someone at his level—Divine Demon Realm Middle Stage—could handle. Even Zuo Wenyao, who had already broken through to the Divine Demon Realm Late Stage, would be utterly crushed if he encountered them.

And with a Fourth Level Late Stage Hunter running interference from the side, even escaping would be a pipe dream.

But Lin Xinghai had actually managed to kill two and severely injure one. Even after having witnessed the terrifying power of the Thunder God Spear, he still found it completely incredible.

But just when the two of them thought that was the end of it, Lin Xinghai continued, “Actually, the most dangerous part came after we killed the three Mutated Zombies. A shadowy figure appeared.”

“Its abilities were extremely bizarre. It could use Space to travel directly into our shadows. On top of that, it also had a Vaporization ability that made it completely immune to all physical damage and could even greatly weaken Energy Attacks.”

“Luckily, my Thunder God Spear was able to forcefully control it, buying enough time for the others to attack. Otherwise, you really would have had to collect my corpse.”

After Lin Xinghai finished speaking, he saw Zuo Wenyao and Chen Yushi staring at him wide-eyed, their expressions as if they had just seen a ghost.
