Chapter 774 - 744: Three Days in a Blink (Middle-Lower)

After watching the second video, Lin Xinghai quickly opened the third.

This time, they were fighting a Fourth Level Middle Stage "Death Claw." Compared to the previous two videos, this one was far more valuable.

Given the Death Claw’s Defense Power and Life Force, it was impossible to kill in a short amount of time, even when besieged by five Divine Demon Realm Middle Stage experts.

This time, Lin Xinghai’s focus was not on Divine Demon Realm experts like Wan Feiyang, but on the Body Shaping Realm Martial Artists who possessed Space Abilities.

And these Body Shaping Realm students certainly didn’t disappoint him. The combat power unleashed by just 25 of them working together was astonishing.

Students with Space Tear-type abilities led the offense, those with Space Vibration-type abilities provided support and interference, those with Space Imprisonment-type abilities handled containment, and a few with Space Barrier-type abilities were in charge of defense.

Their combined combat power was actually equivalent to two Divine Demon Realm experts—and versatile ones at that, capable of offense, defense, support, and interference.

’This is incredible!’ Lin Xinghai marveled inwardly after watching the video.

It also made him realize just how terrifying the combat power unleashed by these Space Ability Users could be when they worked together.

Normally, even when students could coordinate, the combat power they generated through teamwork was actually limited.

For example, take two Fire Element Superpower Users. With the same Flame Superpower, if both unleashed their abilities together, the final power they could exert would be something like 1+1=2.

And that was in the most ideal scenario. Sometimes, due to insufficient Control Power over their Superpowers or poor coordination, friction would occur between their unleashed abilities. In that case, 1+1 would be less than 2—often something like 1.7.

However, this didn’t seem to happen with cooperating Space Superpowers. When two Space Ability Users with the same attribute-type stacked their abilities, the resulting combat power was something like 1+1=3, or even 4.

And the more people who stacked their abilities, the more terrifying the exponential increase in power became.

As for why this was the case, Lin Xinghai didn’t have a definitive answer. Of course, he had a theory: it might be related to the stability of space itself.

For instance, when using a Space Tear Superpower, the first person to cast it would be dealing with stable space. They would first need to tear that space before the Superpower’s might could be unleashed.

And tearing space itself already consumed a large portion of the Superpower’s energy.

If two people with Space Tear-type abilities cast their Superpowers together, the second person would be casting into space that was already in a state of being torn. Thus, their Tearing Superpower could be unleashed to its full potential.

Of course, this explanation still had one problem: why did the power continue to increase exponentially when a third and fourth person joined in?

But Lin Xinghai wasn’t a dedicated researcher. Although he had questions, he stopped dwelling on them when he couldn’t figure it out. The important thing now was that he had discovered this phenomenon.

This meant he would have to adjust some of his future plans.

He had already confirmed that his application would be approved soon. At that time, he would be qualified to form his own army.

According to his original plan, the corps he would form in the future would consist mainly of elite students, as they would have sufficient potential for growth.

But any elite student graduating from a major academy was a target coveted by all factions. Even if he could use his own prestige to attract some, it wouldn’t be a large number. Now, however, he felt he had found another path.

Having a Space Ability didn’t necessarily mean one’s talent was high. Take Fang Tianhe, who was still at the Star Shield Shelter. Although he was a Mercenary Corps Leader, any random student from the three major academies could crush him in terms of talent.

However, Fang Tianhe possessed the Heaven-Splitting Superpower, which was a type of Space Tear Superpower. At the same Level, its combat power was not weak at all.

In that case, when forming his corps in the future, he could simply go to the various Shelters and search for people with Space Abilities.

Various thoughts flashed through Lin Xinghai’s mind, but he quickly pushed them aside. Now was not the time to be thinking about these things.

After watching the videos, he chatted with Little Fatty for a while.

"Boss, what do we do now? I just had someone tally up the Points for each academy over the past hour."

"Capital University is ahead of us by over 1.5 million in total Points, and while Modu University is still behind us, the gap has narrowed. They’re only trailing by a little over 300,000 Points," Little Fatty asked anxiously.

Keep in mind, that was the difference from just one hour. If that gap continued for a whole day, the difference would be terrifying.

"Don’t worry, they can’t keep this up for long. The Abyssal Plane will probably react soon, and then it won’t be possible to earn Points so efficiently."

"Besides, don’t we still have Shi Anzhi and the others on our side? Once those three break through to the Divine Demon Realm, they can form a dedicated team to take on Fourth Level Tasks. They’ll easily erase this gap," Lin Xinghai said nonchalantly.

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s words, Little Fatty and the others relaxed.

After sending Little Fatty off, Lin Xinghai thought for a moment and sent a message to Zuo Wenya.

The message was mainly about the Sea-Breaking Team. Of course, it wasn’t a complaint or anything like that. Instead, he asked Zuo Wenya to have the Military Department pay attention to the Sea-Breaking Team’s safety.

There were too many Space Ability Users on that team, and they were all geniuses capable of breaking through to the Divine Demon Realm. It would be a huge loss if they were killed in an attack by Mutated Zombies.

For Lin Xinghai, it was just a casual message, but even he didn’t expect it would become an event with far-reaching consequences.

The subsequent developments unfolded much as Lin Xinghai had predicted. In the second hour, the number of Mutated Zombies they killed dropped from 11 to 9.

In the third hour, it dropped to 7.

By the fifth hour, the Sea-Breaking Team only managed to kill 5 Mutated Zombies in that one-hour period.

Under these circumstances, even including the Fourth Level Task, the Points the Sea-Breaking Team could earn in an hour had plummeted to around 12.5 million.

Split between the two academies, that was a mere 6.25 million each.

With this, East Sea Academy had already surpassed those two schools again.

More importantly, by the end of the fifth hour, Shi Anzhi, Zhu Jian, and Jiang Hao had all successfully broken through to the Divine Demon Realm.

And Lin Xinghai’s expectations for the three of them were not high. As long as they could successfully complete the Fourth Level Tasks, they would once again be able to quickly widen the gap with the other two academies.

I can’t believe this transitional plot isn’t even finished after three Chapters. I don’t even know what to name the Chapter anymore. *Sigh*!
