Chapter 732 - 702: Surge in Blood Qi Power (Part 1)

Just then, Chen Yushi, who was in the middle of bickering with Zuo Wenya as they were leaving, stopped in his tracks.

The Communication Device on his hip was vibrating furiously. As soon as he answered, a polite voice came from the other end. "Hello, General Chen. There’s something we’d like to confirm. Were you the ones who just went to rescue Shelter 135?"

"That’s right. What is it? Is someone trying to steal our credit?" Chen Yushi said, deliberately feigning annoyance.

"Of course not. According to the report from Shelter 135, your rescue team gained an additional member. I’d like to ask who it is. I need to register the person on my end," the man on the other end of the Communication Device said hastily.

"Lin Xinghai, a First Class Seed from the Seed Plan Execution Department." After his brief reply, Chen Yushi asked directly, "Alright. Any other questions?"

"No, that’s all." The person on the other end seemed to sense Chen Yushi’s attitude and knew better than to ask anything more.

...

After hanging up, the staff officer, Tang Xingbang, sat in his chair, lost in thought. Of course he had questions.

For example, how were Chen Yushi and his team able to reach their destination so much faster than expected?

And how did they manage to kill a Fourth Level Middle Stage Armored Corpse in under 10 seconds?

But Chen Yushi was a general, and one from their own Military Department system, no less. How could a low-ranking staff officer like him dare to press for details? Even if he did ask, the general could simply refuse to answer. It would be a different story if the chief of staff were to inquire.

"Hey, what’s wrong? Don’t tell me Shelter 135 is gone?" another staff officer beside him asked, noticing that Tang Xingbang was staring into space.

"No." Tang Xingbang shook his head.

"Then what is it? You look so worried," the other officer said, his face full of suspicion.

"It’s nothing." Tang Xingbang shook his head again.

Even though they were all members of the staff department, some things couldn’t be discussed casually.

Especially under the current circumstances, until they figured out what methods the Abyssal Plane was using to turn humans, everyone was on high alert. Certain things could not be discussed carelessly.

Of course, just because he wouldn’t discuss it with other staff officers didn’t mean he planned to conceal the matter.

After offering a couple of vague replies, he quickly wrote a report detailing the entire incident, sending one copy to his superior and another directly to the front-line general command.

This way, he wouldn’t have to worry about what happened next.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Xinghai and the others had arrived on another street and were slaughtering the Abyssal Creatures there.

"That one, that one, and the Abyssal Corpse Ghost in the corner over there should all have Blood Bags," Zuo Wenya said after carefully sensing them out.

As he pointed them out, Lin Xinghai opened fire almost in perfect sync.

Of course, he wasn’t holding a Gauss Rifle. When they had passed a special forces team earlier, Zuo Wenya had used his authority as a general to requisition a Tearing Rifle and a combat pack full of ammunition for him.

As one Armor-Piercing Bullet after another flew out, the Abyssal Creatures Zuo Wenya had indicated were killed on the spot.

Just then, Chen Yushi raised a hand and activated his Superpower. Three palm-sized, blood-red daggers shot out.

Under his control, they precisely slit the napes of the Abyssal Creatures’ necks to search for Blood Bags.

"Only two Blood Bags? Is your perception even working?" Chen Yushi taunted as he controlled the Blood Sabers to retrieve the two Blood Bags.

"Heh, my perception is off? Why don’t you try it then? My accuracy is at least eighty percent. Let’s see if you can even manage thirty," Zuo Wenya shot back.

As for Lin Xinghai, he completely ignored their little competition, simply picking up a Blood Bag and popping it into his mouth.

To him, nothing was more important than increasing his own strength right now.

His aura began to strengthen rapidly. A mere 15 seconds later, he tossed the other Blood Bag into his mouth and motioned for them to press on and gather more. After all, time was of the essence.

Zuo Wenya and Chen Yushi watched this scene in silence.

In truth, Lin Xinghai had already absorbed a Blood Bag in front of them once before. However, he had only absorbed a single one at the time. So, while they had clearly felt his aura surge, they still didn’t have a concrete concept of his absorption Speed.

But now it was different.

seconds. They were sure they hadn’t seen it wrong. It had taken Lin Xinghai a mere 15 seconds to completely absorb a Blood Bag.

This was beyond exaggerated. They knew that even with their Divine Demon Realm Cultivation and powerful bodies, which allowed them to rapidly absorb Blood Qi Power without regard for the strain, it would still take them around five minutes to fully absorb a Blood Bag. They were in a completely different league from Lin Xinghai.

In the end, Chen Yushi couldn’t help but ask, "Did you use your Superpower? Did you use Time Acceleration to cultivate?"

Lin Xinghai didn’t answer. He had no intention of revealing everything about himself to others.

If they figured it out on their own, so be it. But his silence was a deliberate choice, a statement of his attitude.

Seeing Lin Xinghai’s silent confirmation, Chen Yushi couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath.

Zuo Wenya, standing beside him, was also inwardly shaken. He finally understood how Lin Xinghai’s strength could advance so rapidly.

’So his Time Acceleration Ability can also be used to aid Cultivation! If he cultivates for one hour, it’s like someone else cultivating for ten. How could he not be fast?’

At that moment, both of their minds raced with the implications. Lin Xinghai’s Superpower could affect two people at once. Didn’t that mean he could help others cultivate? And that wasn’t even considering the existence of things like the Time Superpower Amplifier!

Finally, Zuo Wenya took a deep breath, suppressing the storm of thoughts in his mind. He looked at Chen Yushi and said in a low, serious voice, "Old Chen, I hope you won’t breathe a word of this to anyone. You know it will cause a huge amount of trouble."

’Not everyone could resist the temptation of such rapid advancement. I can handle ordinary people, but what if other experts from the Divine Demon Realm get involved?’

Chen Yushi curled his lip and immediately made his position clear. "What kind of person do you take me for? Besides, Xiaolin saved my life. And looking at the bigger picture, the last thing I want is to see a rising genius get dragged down by his own side."

After a pause, he turned to Lin Xinghai. "But, while Cultivation is important, you should pace yourself. Don’t burn through all your Superpower, or you won’t be able to give us a boost when we fight later."
