Invincible through Touching Corpses

Shen Han’s red lips parted slightly upon hearing Lin Xinghai’s words. Even with her cold personality, she was dumbfounded.

She never would have imagined that Lin Xinghai would be willing to teach such a precious thing to others. Wasn’t he afraid that if the secret got out, others would catch up and surpass his Gun Technique?

A flurry of questions surfaced in Shen Han’s mind, but how could she refuse such a good offer? She thanked him and immediately notified Fang Tianhe.

As for her worries, Lin Xinghai paid them no mind. What he was teaching was just a few simple applications of Perception Power from the Intermediate Gun Technique.

He had no intention of teaching the true core content for the time being, such as how to use Perception Power to alter a bullet’s trajectory.

He might consider it if these members of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps managed to break through to the Blood Qi Realm and work alongside him in the future.

When Fang Tianhe received the news, he contacted Lin Xinghai immediately. After getting confirmation, he was moved and deeply grateful.

As for repaying him, they were powerless to do so for now. All they could do was hope to help him in the future.

The two quickly discussed who should be taught the Perception Secret Technique, then set the matter aside for the time being. After all, it was impossible to teach it at a time like this. They would have to find a quiet, private place to avoid being eavesdropped on.

"Old Fang, let’s have a sparring match!" Having finished his Gun Technique practice and grown familiar with the Mecha, Lin Xinghai suggested.

After all, killing these Ordinary Zombies held no real excitement for him. As for Mutated Zombies, he wasn’t sure if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but he hadn’t encountered a single one in the past two days. As a result, he hadn’t been able to have a truly satisfying fight in his Mecha.

After a slight hesitation, Fang Tianhe nodded. "Alright, bring it on!"

If anyone else had dared to make such a suggestion, he would have given them a stern lecture. Sparring could lead to Mecha damage, and repairs required a hefty amount of Points. However, since it was Lin Xinghai who suggested it, things were different.

Soon, the two took their stances. The other members of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps cast curious glances their way. A sparring match between Mechas was definitely a rare sight.

"Watch out," Fang Tianhe warned as his Vibrating Giant Blade swung horizontally, cleaving toward Lin Xinghai in a broad, powerful motion.

Faced with such an attack, Lin Xinghai obviously couldn’t meet it head-on. The Heaven-Sundering Mecha’s specialty was Power, after all. He maneuvered his Mecha into a sidestep, quickly dodging the blade before thrusting his Longsword out in a counterattack from the flank.

However, Fang Tianhe simply blocked his attack with a nimble twirl of his giant blade.

"Nice!" Lin Xinghai shouted, his excitement growing. He used his Mecha’s Speed advantage to constantly weave around, seizing opportunities to strike.

But no matter the angle or timing of his attacks, Fang Tianhe easily blocked them. He would then seize the opening to counterattack, pushing Lin Xinghai into perilous situations several times.

Although Fang Tianhe’s Perception Power couldn’t compare to his, it was still enough to bring out 100% of the Mecha’s performance. Coupled with his rich combat experience, it was perfectly normal for him to be suppressing Lin Xinghai.

Of course, this was only when the two were purely competing in skill.

After twirling his Longsword to block an incoming slash, Lin Xinghai piloted his Mecha to retreat with the momentum.

The next moment, he activated his Speed Superpower. Unlike previous times, the moment the Energy emerged from his body, before it could even envelop him, it was absorbed by the Superpower Amplifier in his seat. After being amplified, the Superpower spread throughout the Mecha’s entire body.

Simply put, he had activated his Superpower and transferred it to the entire Mecha.

He could feel that although his Superpower was amplified 10 times, enough to spread through the machine’s entire body, the Mecha itself was just too large. A single activation of his Superpower could only be maintained for half a minute at most.

Although the duration was shorter, the effect of the Superpower was far more terrifying.

This was because Lin Xinghai’s Speed Superpower provided a percentage-based increase, which meant the more powerful the base, the more exaggerated the boost.

After its modifications, the Speed Mecha could reach a Speed of 1,000 points. Activating the Speed Superpower granted an additional 200%, adding another 2,000 points of Speed and bringing the total to a terrifying 3,000 points.

SWOOSH!

The Speed was so high that the image captured by the holographic projection had a distorted, warped feel to it. If Lin Xinghai didn’t rely on his Perception Power, even his own eyes couldn’t keep up with the changing scene.

Relying on a Speed that far surpassed the other Mecha, he was behind his opponent in a flash. He thrust his Longsword straight for the other Mecha’s vitals.

Even though Fang Tianhe had long been wary of Lin Xinghai’s Superpower, this sudden burst of Speed still caught him completely off guard.

At a Speed of 3,000 points, he had no time to dodge or block, even though he knew an attack was coming.

However, at the critical moment, he also activated his Heaven-Splitting Superpower. A ball of black light abruptly appeared, blocking the tip of Lin Xinghai’s Longsword.

KSHHH!

The Longsword pierced straight in, but upon contact with the black light, Lin Xinghai felt it transform into tangible resistance. The Power behind the Longsword was instantly cut down by seventy or eighty percent, leaving only a shallow gash on the Heaven-Sundering Mecha.

Withdrawing his sword and retreating, Lin Xinghai saw that his Longsword was now covered in dense cutting marks, as if it had clashed with another weapon countless times.

Even though he already knew how terrifying the Heaven-Splitting Superpower was, he was still startled by the sight.

Of all the components on a Mecha, the Alloy used for its weapon was undoubtedly the strongest. Yet, in just an instant, the Heaven-Splitting Superpower had left so many gashes on it.

However, Lin Xinghai wasn’t afraid in the slightest. When his first strike failed, he immediately pulled back to create distance and then attacked again.

This time, it was Fang Tianhe’s turn to be at a complete disadvantage. He could only rely on his Heaven-Splitting Superpower to desperately hold on.

Before, although Lin Xinghai had the Speed advantage, Fang Tianhe could still seize opportunities to counterattack, or even turn the tables.

But now, with Lin Xinghai’s Superpower active, the two Mechas’ Speeds weren’t even on the same level. The moment Fang Tianhe swung his Vibrating Giant Blade, his opponent had already retreated several body lengths, giving him no opportunity whatsoever to counterattack.

However, Lin Xinghai also frowned to himself. Although he was attacking relentlessly, the Heaven-Splitting Superpower always appeared at the critical moment to nullify his attacks.

Though the surface of the Heaven-Sundering Mecha was covered in all sorts of sword marks, he hadn’t actually breached the outer armor, let alone caused any real damage to the Mecha itself.

Soon, two minutes had passed. Lin Xinghai had already activated his Speed Superpower four times in a row and still hadn’t found a single opening.

Just then, however, it was Fang Tianhe who spoke first.

"Stop! I give up. You’re about to drain my Superpower completely," Fang Tianhe said. This was the most frustrating sparring match he’d ever had.

"Heh! If you had held on a little longer, I would have been the one to surrender," Lin Xinghai said, brandishing his Longsword, which was now covered in cracks. "This Longsword probably couldn’t take many more hits."

"Give me a break. Even if your Longsword had broken, you could have just stayed back and attacked with your Electromagnetic Railgun. I would have been the one to lose in the end," Fang Tianhe said irritably. Looking at the nearly destroyed Longsword, he knew repairing it wouldn’t be cheap. His heart ached at the thought.

Lin Xinghai just smiled and didn’t respond. Through this battle, he had gained a better feel for Mecha combat.

With a few more days of practice, he was confident he could defeat even Fang Tianhe and Shen Han teaming up against him.

By the time he had to deal with the Morgan Conglomerate, he should be fully adapted to Mecha combat, and his combat power would have increased dramatically.
