Chapter 734 - 704: Blood Qi Power Surge (Part 2)

Chen Yushi wasn’t the only one who was shocked. Even Zuo Wenyao, Lin Xinghai’s mentor, was just as astonished.

Though he knew Lin Xinghai had a strong foundation and had even personally tested his strength, he had never actually asked just how much total Blood Qi Power Lin Xinghai had possessed back in the Blood Qi Realm.

"I’m really looking forward to seeing just how powerful you’ll become after you break through to the Divine Demon Realm," Chen Yushi remarked with deep emotion.

As for Lin Xinghai, he just silently continued to swallow Blood Bags, increasing his total Blood Qi Power as quickly as possible.

All the new Blood Qi Power he gained was being stored in his heart and stomach—the two organs that had already undergone their transformation.

Back when he launched the attack on the Abyssal Plane, he had only just discovered that the two transformed organs could hold more Blood Qi Power. However, he hadn’t had a chance to test the limits of their capacity at the time.

Fortunately, there were still a large number of Blood Bags on this battlefield. He was confident he would soon be able to find out what his limits were.

Lin Xinghai improved at a rapid pace, absorbing one Blood Bag every 15 seconds.

At this rate, he could increase his total Blood Qi Power by a full 40 points per minute.

He channeled all of this new Blood Qi Power into his heart.

He wanted to test the maximum capacity of one of the organs first.

The three of them each had their own role: Zuo Wenyao was in charge of scouting, Lin Xinghai was responsible for shooting the targets, and Chen Yushi was tasked with collecting the Blood Bags.

Between just the three of them, they steadily harvested more than eight Blood Bags per minute, ensuring they could all absorb them without interruption.

In the midst of all this, Lin Xinghai would even take the opportunity to kill the occasional Mutated Zombie.

Any other university squad would have been put to shame if they had witnessed this level of efficiency in harvesting Blood Bags.

The reason for their high efficiency wasn’t Lin Xinghai’s miraculous Gun Technique, nor was it Chen Yushi’s method of directly collecting the Blood Bags. After all, those aspects could be compensated for with sheer numbers.

Instead, the most important factor was Zuo Wenyao’s ability to detect which Abyssal Creatures carried Blood Bags. This allowed them to make precise kills instead of sweeping through a large area just to obtain a handful of Blood Bags.

After all, this was no longer the "Trap District." And with the Abyssal Plane making its move, it meant that every Blood Bag they absorbed was one that wouldn’t be replaced; their numbers would only decrease.

As a result, the ratio of obtaining a Blood Bag from an Abyssal Creature they hunted was a mere 1 in 50.

In other words, a group of a hundred Abyssal Creatures would only contain about two Blood Bags. If they just charged in and killed them all as they had before, even the entire Xinghai Squad would have to work themselves to death and still wouldn’t collect enough for Lin Xinghai to absorb by himself.

Lin Xinghai was truly envious of Zuo Wenyao’s detection ability. Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he finally asked Zuo Wenyao how he did it.

"There’s no special method to it. Once you reach the Divine Demon Realm and your Perception Power undergoes its transformation, you’ll be able to do it too. And the stronger your Perception Power becomes, the greater the precision of your detection," Zuo Wenyao explained.

"A transformation of Perception Power?" This wasn’t the first time Lin Xinghai had heard the phrase. Hearing Zuo Wenyao mention it again, he couldn’t help but ask, "What new changes happen after Perception Power transforms?"

Zuo Wenyao, now fully in his role as a teacher, began to explain, "After it transforms, you can wield your Perception Power more freely and perceive things in much finer detail. When you concentrate, it’s like looking at something through a magnifying glass."

"That’s the method I use to compare the fluctuations within each Abyssal Creature’s body and determine whether or not it contains a Blood Bag."

"Furthermore, at my current stage, Perception Power is no longer formless and intangible. It has become a tangible form of Energy that can be actively used."

"For instance, if I encounter weaker enemies, I can directly use my Perception Power to exert pressure on them—it’s a form of mental attack. I can also use it to cover my entire body, shielding myself from the Perception of others."

"Of course, these are just some of the simpler changes, not the most fundamental ones. In my opinion, the most miraculous thing about the transformation of Perception Power is the ability to analyze the very essence of Energy."

"Analyze the essence of Energy?" Hearing this, a look of astonishment finally crossed Lin Xinghai’s face.

"That’s right!" Zuo Wenyao said, holding out his hand. A ball of fire materialized out of thin air in his palm.

"This is my Blazing Superpower. For me, it’s also the easiest type of Energy to analyze. Once I can fully comprehend its essence, I’ll no longer need to activate my Superpower; I’ll be able to release flames directly using only my Perception Power."

At that moment, Lin Xinghai’s eyes glinted. His mind raced with possibilities, and he asked, "Teacher, can Perception Power analyze any form of Energy?"

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s question, Zuo Wenyao suddenly smiled. "Are you asking if you can use Perception Power to analyze someone else’s Superpower and then master it for your own use?"

"I had the same thought when I first learned about this, but unfortunately, it’s not possible..."

"Well, it’s not that it’s *completely* impossible, but the difficulty of analysis increases by at least tenfold."

"According to the research institute, it’s actually a matter of compatibility. Your own Superpower is undoubtedly the most compatible with you, so analyzing its essence is the easiest. That isn’t necessarily true for other people’s Superpowers."

"Some Superpowers are even completely impossible to analyze—like your Time Acceleration Ability, for example. I just tried."

Lin Xinghai frowned slightly. "Then if you can only analyze your own Superpower, what’s the point? After all, we can just use our Superpowers directly to achieve our goals!"

"Not necessarily," Zuo Wenyao said, shaking his head. "You have to understand, the Energy for a person’s Superpower is finite. If I successfully analyze my Blazing Superpower, then even when the Energy for it is completely depleted, I can continue to use the ability with my Perception Power."

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai felt a pang of disappointment. After all, when it came to Superpower endurance, he was confident no one could claim to be first if he was second.

However, his disappointment had barely set in when Zuo Wenyao continued, "Also, many people speculate that once you’ve fully analyzed your own Superpower, you should be able to stack its effects. This would allow the Superpower to unleash even greater might."

"But most importantly, after much speculation, the consensus among those in the Divine Demon Realm is that analyzing one’s Superpower is likely laying the foundation for an even higher Realm."

"If we’re able to break through to the next Realm, whether or not you’ve managed to analyze your Superpower might be the key to increasing your combat power, much like how the Divine Demon Body is for the Divine Demon Realm."
