Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 360: First Move

Yes, in a way, the assessment had already begun.

However, the reason Little Fatty was so conflicted was simple. In this situation, their small group of four felt truly weak and outnumbered as they tried to compete for a spot in the first boarding group.

The larger groups were a different story. The teams with over 100 members, in particular, strode forward with confident, imposing strides.

At a time like this, the advantages of being in a large group were on full display.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Xinghai mused for a moment before a smile quickly spread across his lips. "Why shouldn’t we compete?"

’If I have the strength, I should show it off,’ he thought. ’Only by doing so can I gain the attention and appreciation of the instructors from East Sea Academy.’

Hearing Lin Xinghai’s words, Little Fatty’s eyes immediately lit up. "Alright! Let’s go too."

As he spoke, he released his Superpower. A Hurricane Tornado instantly materialized out of thin air, enveloping the few of them. It lifted them into the air and flew straight toward the nearest large transport aircraft.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai raised an eyebrow slightly.

’Looks like this Little Fatty isn’t completely useless after all,’ Lin Xinghai thought. ’His control over his Superpower is quite refined. The Hurricane Tornado’s strength is just right—enough wind to lift people up without causing injury.’

Flying through the air was, of course, much faster than the crowd below pushing forward on foot. In just over ten seconds, the group of four had soared over the dense throng of people and was about to fly into the nearest large transport aircraft.

But just then, someone in the crowd below suddenly let out a cold snort. The four of them, Lin Xinghai included, instantly felt a powerful Gravity descend upon them, and they began to fall.

And it wasn’t just them. The other examinees with Wind Superpowers who knew how to use Flying in the Sky couldn’t escape this fate either and were all forced to land.

Lin Xinghai released his Perception Power and scanned his surroundings. ’This must be the work of an examinee with a Gravity-type Superpower. Such Superpowers are considered rare on the outside.’

However, everyone who came here to register for the exam possessed a Rare Level Superpower, so there were quite a few examinees with similar abilities. Among the few hundred examinees nearby, there were actually over a dozen who had mastered this type of Superpower.

The overlapping range of their Superpowers directly turned the sky into a no-fly Domain.

Under such circumstances, let alone someone with Little Fatty’s pseudo-Flying Superpower, even examinees who had mastered a true Flying Superpower wouldn’t gain any advantage here.

However, the moment Lin Xinghai and the others landed, the Gravity affecting them instantly vanished.

After all, those people were targeting all the examinees rushing ahead of them, not just one or a few individuals.

Moreover, due to the exam regulations, no one dared to go too far when using their Superpower. At the very least, they didn’t dare to actually injure anyone.

Everyone was worried that if they went too far, they would violate the Rule "no injuring others in the first two days" and be disqualified from the exam.

So, even though everyone was trying to trip each other up, they only resorted to minor tricks. No one dared to get into a real fight.

Unsurprised, Lin Xinghai didn’t waste any more time after landing. He walked directly toward the large transport aircraft a dozen meters away.

Liu Miaomiao and the others hurried to follow.

"Get lost, don’t block the way!" Just then, a burly man on their left was shoving his way forward. Relying on his superior Power, he bulldozed a path straight through. When he saw Lin Xinghai, he charged at him without a second thought.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai snorted coldly and met the charge head-on, not showing any weakness.

BANG!

The two collided, producing a dull thud.

Lin Xinghai took half a step back. As for the burly man, he staggered back three steps before clumsily regaining his footing.

A look of utter disbelief, as if he’d seen a ghost, appeared on the burly man’s face.

He was, after all, a Strength Type Optimized whose Power had reached 99 points. More importantly, among the Martial Arts Techniques he had learned was one for an instantaneous, explosive charge.

In a situation where no one dared to truly fight, he had a decisive advantage thanks to his Power and Martial Arts Techniques.

But now, this slender young man before him was actually even more explosive than he was.

He found it utterly unbelievable.

At that moment, as if he’d been deeply humiliated, he stabilized himself and charged forward again, completely reckless.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai frowned slightly. ’In terms of Power, I’m definitely stronger than him,’ he thought. ’Even if it’s only by 0.9 points, my Power is still superior.’

’But in that last collision, I even used the force-generation skill from my Phantom Body Technique while moving. That’s a Profound Level Martial Art, yet it only pushed him back three steps.’

The man was charging again, but Lin Xinghai had no intention of getting tangled up with him.

Just as the burly man was about to hit him, Lin Xinghai’s figure flickered. He shifted slightly within the extremely narrow Space and easily dodged the man’s charge.

At the same moment, the burly man felt something trip his foot. His center of gravity instantly became unstable, and he took a nasty fall, landing face-first on the ground.

Furious, the burly man also felt a little dazed. He didn’t quite understand what had just happened, but that didn’t stop him from calling for his companions.

"You’re courting death! How dare you mess with our Rakshasa Squad! Captain, help!"

As he shouted, the nearby small group of over twenty people all turned to look in their direction.

Lin Xinghai had taken down the burly man so quickly that they hadn’t seen what happened at all.

But seeing their companion on the ground, everyone’s expression darkened. The leader at the front barked, "Charge him!"

In an instant, more than twenty people rushed toward Lin Xinghai in unison. This was the benefit of having superior numbers.

Seeing this, Ye Xin and the others were both anxious and helpless. There were only four of them in total. In a situation where no one could truly fight, they would probably have to swallow their pride and take the loss.

However, to their surprise, Lin Xinghai didn’t retreat. Instead, he advanced and met the group head-on.

The instant the two sides were about to collide, Lin Xinghai’s figure seemed to transform into a phantom, flashing past each member of the opposing group.

The men, who had been charging forward menacingly, all felt something appear at their feet. Many of them couldn’t react in time and were directly tripped.

Some who reacted in time either focused on maintaining their balance to avoid being tripped, or simply stopped in their tracks.

But without exception, as they saw a phantom flash past them, they all instantly felt their legs being kicked or swept. One after another, they tumbled to the ground with a series of THUDS.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, causing many of the people nearby who were pushing toward the military transport to turn their heads and watch.

It wasn’t just them; even the instructor standing on top of the transport aircraft shifted his gaze over.

"They tripped over themselves." Lin Xinghai shrugged and leaped over the crowd to continue forward.

The instructor’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, but he quickly looked away and said nothing.

This kind of squabbling was something they tacitly approved of, as long as no one got into a real, full-blown fight.
