Chapter 605 - 591: Arrangements Before Departure

But even at a rate as low as 1%, East Sea Academy was in a league of its own compared to other schools.

In fact, for some schools inside large bases, the probability of a student breaking through to the Divine Demon Realm was less than 0.1%.

Of course, humanity was only in the eleventh year of the Great Cataclysm. As time passed, the number of people breaking through to the Divine Demon Realm would certainly grow.

Still, an immediate 30% increase was simply too incredible to believe.

"Ah Xing, about when can this new Cultivation System be rolled out?" It was Liu Miaomiao who spoke. Her greatest fear had been that she would be unable to break through to the Divine Demon Realm and be left far behind by Lin Xinghai.

But now, the update to the Cultivation System had undoubtedly dispelled many of her concerns.

"It should be very soon. After all, the Seed Plan Execution Department already has a complete plan for the new Cultivation System. All that’s left is to implement it."

"Students like us should be the first to benefit. Of course, since I’m an official member of the Seed Plan, I’ve already received the new Cultivation System plan," Lin Xinghai said, conveniently explaining how he had broken through to the Marrow Tempering Realm ahead of schedule.

"In that case, Captain Lin, is there anything we should pay attention to with the new Cultivation System?" This time, it was Yan Feijie who asked.

He believed that even after the new Cultivation System was officially announced, an official member of the Seed Plan like Lin Xinghai would definitely know more than they did.

"Yes, there is something. You need to be careful. Do not rush your breakthrough. Focus on increasing the total amount of your Blood Qi Power as much as you can, ideally to over 1,000 points. It’s worth it even if it takes you two or three years," Lin Xinghai urged seriously.

"But... if it really takes two or three years, our Realm will probably be quite low by the time we graduate! Won’t that affect our chances of meeting the military’s enlistment standards?" Yan Feijie asked, frowning.

"Don’t worry about that. Let me give you another piece of information. The Blood Qi Power you cultivate in the Blood Qi Realm can be converted into Source Blood when you reach the next Realm."

"After you break through, as long as you have 1,000 points of Source Blood, the new Cultivation System will allow your heart to undergo a metamorphosis. From then on, the speed at which you gather Blood Qi Power will increase by at least three to fivefold."

"And even if you don’t have 1,000 points of Source Blood, it’s not a problem. That Source Blood can be used to directly raise your Realm, quickly converting it into actual power," Lin Xinghai said.

Hearing this, the group was less shocked and more excited.

Everyone understood just how terrifying it would be to increase their speed of gathering Blood Qi Power by three to five times.

This wouldn’t just affect one’s Cultivation speed in the Body Shaping Realm; it would play a crucial role all the way up to the Divine Demon Realm.

At this point, no one had any more questions. In their minds, however, they were all adjusting their personal Cultivation plans.

"Alright, tomorrow we’re heading to Abyssal Passage 11 for our midterm exam, so everyone should get ready. I’m guessing there won’t be any restrictions on weapons or equipment. The final score will likely be based on the number of Mutated Zombies you kill."

"Also, one more piece of intel: this Abyssal Passage 11 is a government pilot program. It’s expected to be a long-term warzone from now on."

"So, our exam will probably last for a while. Keep that in mind while you prepare. Stock up on things like Elixirs and anything else you might need," Lin Xinghai added.

Everyone nodded in understanding and quickly dispersed.

As Little Fatty was about to leave, Lin Xinghai called out to him.

"Boss, is there anything else?" Little Fatty asked hurriedly.

Lin Xinghai got straight to the point. "Do you have a way to buy a large quantity of Body Tempering Pills?"

"I do. Boss, how many do you need?" Little Fatty asked immediately.

Lin Xinghai checked his account balance first. He had a total of 38.2 million Huaxia Coins.

But Lin Xinghai frowned slightly. ’It’s a little less than I’d hoped.’ Although he had earned around 40 million Huaxia Coins from the last mission, half of that had been paid out in Credit Points.

Combined with the fact that he had been focused entirely on his Cultivation and hadn’t taken on any new missions, his Huaxia Coin balance was under 40 million.

Of course, in anyone else’s hands, this would be considered a fortune. For Lin Xinghai, however, it wasn’t nearly enough.

After all, this much money wasn’t even enough for him to cultivate his Divine Demon Body to Perfection during the Marrow Tempering Realm stage.

Back in the Blood Qi Realm, he had needed 1,000 Body Tempering Pills just to get his Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation progress to 100%.

Now that he was in the Marrow Tempering Realm, the difficulty had increased fivefold. He would need at least 5,000 Body Tempering Pills to complete his Divine Demon Body’s Cultivation.

Of course, since the Creation Essence Liquid had already boosted his progress to 20%, he now only needed 4,000 Body Tempering Pills.

But Body Tempering Pills cost 20,000 Huaxia Coins apiece. 4,000 pills would cost a staggering 80 million Huaxia Coins.

"In that case, I’ll transfer you 38 million Huaxia Coins. Buy me 1,900 Body Tempering Pills for now," Lin Xinghai said, transferring the money to Little Fatty.

Now it was Little Fatty’s turn to be stunned. "Boss, you’re buying that many?"

"Yes. And this is just part of it. I need 4,000 Body Tempering Pills in total. I’ll use my Credit Points to exchange for the rest here at the academy," Lin Xinghai said with a nod.

"But..." Little Fatty was at a loss for words. Even he wouldn’t dare to consume Elixirs at such a rate.

"Boss, you could... you could actually switch to some cheaper Elixirs. It would just be a bit slower," Little Fatty suggested hesitantly.

"No need. The one thing I’m short on right now is time," Lin Xinghai said with a wave of his hand.

To advance his Divine Demon Body, he needed to take Elixirs that enhanced his Physique. Based on what he knew, for anyone below the Body Shaping Realm, the effects of the Body Tempering Pill were second to none, so he couldn’t even find a substitute.

Of course, if he were willing to slow his Cultivation speed, the cost would drop dramatically. The problem was, what he lacked most right now was time.

Especially with the addition of the Marrow Tempering Realm, if he didn’t seize every available moment, how long would it take him to reach the Divine Demon Realm?

Hearing this, Little Fatty stopped protesting. "Alright, I’ll get on it right away. I can have them for you by tomorrow morning, okay?"

"Yes, that’s fine." Lin Xinghai nodded and continued, "Also, what materials exactly is my Legendary Level Mecha missing? Have the technical department staff make a list for me. I’ll exchange for the rare materials here at the academy and get the Mecha built as soon as possible."

Lin Xinghai currently had a whopping 21.59 million Credit Points. An amount like that probably surpassed what ninety-nine percent of the instructors had. Perhaps only a Divine Demon Realm instructor like Zuo Wenyao could compare with him in terms of Credit Points.

Furthermore, as the Investigation Technique he had provided grew in fame, more and more people were purchasing it, giving him a continuous stream of incoming Credit Points.

Under these circumstances, he had no qualms about using the resources at his disposal to increase his power.

Hearing this, Little Fatty opened his mouth, but then quickly shut it. While the Hongyu Conglomerate was immensely wealthy, in this apocalyptic world, some things just couldn’t be solved with money.

He understood the priorities and didn’t try to over-promise. He just nodded obediently. "Okay, I’ll contact the engineering department in a little while."

After watching Little Fatty leave, only Liu Miaomiao remained by Lin Xinghai’s side. "Let’s go. I have a way for you to rapidly increase your power."

"Ah! Really? What is it?" Miaomiao asked, suddenly excited.

A smile touched the corners of Lin Xinghai’s lips as he slowly uttered two words: "Dual Cultivation."
