He would still be very bothered by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, it helped him in a roundabout way, at least by providing a cover for his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xinghai had no time to worry about what other people thought. He gleefully opened his system panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Blood Qi Power had dropped to 61 points from constantly improving his Gun Technique proficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the data on his system panel read:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Host: Lin Xinghai\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Physique: 24 points\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Power: 20 points\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speed: 29 points\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood Qi Power: 93 points\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genetic Optimization Level: 29%+\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basic Level Shooting Skill: Proficiency 70%+\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ninety-three points of Blood Qi Power. That feels so damn good to see!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the best part was yet to come. He stealthily pulled two vials of Genetic Potion from his pocket and downed them in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A system notification chimed. When Lin Xinghai looked at his system panel again, his Blood Qi Power had become 103 points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I broke a hundred! I finally broke a hundred!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xinghai suppressed his excitement and tapped the \"+\" icon next to his Genetic Optimization Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A selection box popped up. Lin Xinghai first selected \"Superpower Awakening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then selected the option: \"Consume 100 points of Blood Qi Power to awaken Superpower.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As 100 points of Blood Qi Power were deducted from his panel, Lin Xinghai felt a great furnace ignite within him. Every inch of his body felt like it was on fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden agony made him let out a muffled groan as sweat poured down his face like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a peculiar aura began to emanate from his body, radiating outward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yang was the first to sense this aura, and he subconsciously assumed his Perception was playing tricks on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a glance in the rearview mirror showed him Lin Xinghai’s pained expression and flushed skin, and a jolt went through him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How is this possible!’ He couldn’t believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the aura radiating from Lin Xinghai’s body was a clear sign: he was breaking through the first Genetic Lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These so-called Genetic Locks only appeared when one’s Genetic Optimization Level reached 30%, 60%, 90%, and finally 100%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking all four of these Genetic Locks would result in an evolutionary leap, allowing one to enter a new Realm of existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And right now, Lin Xinghai was in the process of breaking the very first one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, his Genetic Optimization Level had already reached 30%, and he was about to become one of the Optimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how incredible it seemed, the moment Qin Yang processed what was happening, he immediately began to slow the multi-function, off-road vehicle to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being disturbed while breaking a Genetic Lock was extremely dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A minor interruption might only cause someone to cough up some blood, but a serious one could leave them bedridden for months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicle coming to a stop immediately drew the attention of the entire team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Roger frowned, quickened his pace, and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as he was within three meters of the vehicle, he too felt that inexplicable aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed instantly. In a flash, he was beside the window, his eyes locked on Lin Xinghai, his face a mask of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others were already puzzled by the vehicle stopping. When they saw Roger’s expression, they knew something was wrong and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, as they drew within three meters of the vehicle, every one of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is too ridiculous! It took me a full half-year to break the first Genetic Lock and become one of the Optimized,\" Xu Haishui couldn’t help but say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s just because you’re slow. It only took me three months,\" Wu Yan retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haishui was struck speechless and grew annoyed. \"That just proves you had a better job than me back then! If I had been able to join a Mercenary Corps from the start, I would’ve broken through in a month, at most.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still impossible,\" Wu Yan said. \"Your Genetic Assessment is only D Level. Even in a Mercenary Corps, you’d get one vial of Genetic Potion per week at most, which is only four a month. That’s not enough to break through, even counting any you bought yourself.\" He was simply stating a fact, but it left Xu Haishui with nothing to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere grew slightly awkward and silent. Xu Haishui decided he wasn’t going to speak with this big brute who had the emotional intelligence of a rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Roger and asked, \"Old Luo, I heard you fronted the Genetic Potions for Xinghai. Just how much of your stash did you give him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six vials,\" Roger said after a brief silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Six vials? How could that possibly be enough for a breakthrough?\" Xu Haishui was floored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered that it had taken him more than half a year and a full 17 vials of Genetic Potion to break through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Theoretically, it’s possible,\" a cool, detached voice said. The group turned to see Shen Han, who had disembarked from her Mecha at some point and was now standing by the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept her eyes on Lin Xinghai as she spoke, her gaze deep and inscrutable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The theoretical possibility she mentioned was just that—theoretical. And it required a whole host of prerequisites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, Lin Xinghai’s Initial Genes would have had to reach 10% of the theoretical human limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, his Genetic Assessment would need to be A Level, enabling perfect absorption of the Genetic Medicine Liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that scenario, one vial of Genetic Medicine Liquid could provide a 5% increase, meaning two vials could raise his Genetic Optimization Level from 10% to 20%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Genetic Optimization Level exceeds 20%, the potion’s effect is halved, but it would still only take four more vials to reach 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But... did Lin Xinghai even meet those theoretical conditions?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had thought of it, the others naturally had as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t they say his Genetic Assessment was B Level? And what I really don’t get is the speed at which he absorbs the Genetic Medicine Liquid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Haishui voiced his confusion again, but Fang Tianhe cut him off mid-sentence. \"End of discussion!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked around at everyone and said, \"As you’ve guessed, Lin Xinghai is a bit special. As for how he’s special, I’m keeping that confidential for now. Also, you are all to keep your mouths shut about what happened today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps is still too weak. If we want to become powerful, so powerful that we are untouchable, then we need powerhouses—a true powerhouse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, that’s all I have to say. Everyone, get back on guard! Don’t let any of those Zombies get close.\" After speaking, Fang Tianhe waved his hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the others dispersed. They all had thoughtful expressions, and their eyes gradually grew fervent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, when Lin Xinghai first joined the Mercenary Corps, most of them had felt some resistance, or even jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they all knew that with Lin Xinghai’s talent, he would sooner or later threaten their positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when the talent gap grew so wide that all they could do was look up in awe, any thoughts of comparison naturally vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, when Fang Tianhe painted a picture of a bright future—a future directly tied to their own interests—their mindsets began to shift in a completely different direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Who wouldn’t want the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps to become stronger? It would be even better if they could become a Third Level Mercenary Corps.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing the crowd disperse, Fang Tianhe finally whispered in Shen Han’s ear, \"What are your thoughts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps his Special Physique allows him to perfectly absorb Genetic Potions. But his Initial Gene couldn’t possibly be at 10%,\" Shen Han replied softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, you. Don’t overthink it so much. Everyone has their secrets. You’re no exception, are you?\" Fang Tianhe said, patting her on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Han’s gaze shifted away involuntarily, and she gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time ticked by. Five minutes later, the peculiar aura around Lin Xinghai gradually subsided, and he opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this moment forward, he was one of the Optimized.\u003C\u002Fp>",1409,"2026-06-05T22:50:52.395Z",1,"novelbin.me","bdbf479c5058a80c2ec7a86ee6dc3081b309913fffd6e0e76ac1312b2d320afc","invincible-through-touching-corpses-chapter-33","invincible-through-touching-corpses-chapter-31",310,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finvincible-through-touching-corpses-cover.jpg"]
