※※※※

Lin Rui thought it was just the right opportunity, an ideal moment to use Zhang Jie as a whetstone to test the combined power of "Blood Sun Tianyuan" and "Yang Pulling Slash."

The reason he chose the SSS-grade "Blood Sun Tianyuan" prosthetic this time was partly due to compatibility with his own body and partly to maximize the prowess of "Yang Pulling Slash" to its limits.

"Blood Sun Tianyuan" not only enhances physical attributes across the board, but also improves affinity with ether elements.

It can be seen as an enhanced comprehensive version of other prosthetics like Divine Right, Thunder Blood, and Flame Blood.

However, it has another important ability, which is to help charge and accumulate True Qi and ether elements in advance within the blood.

It can shorten the charging time for secret moves or enhance the power of secret slashes, making this prosthetic particularly suited for Lin Rui's self-created "Yang Pulling Slash."

At this point, both parties had matched their prosthetics with their weapons and chose to ready themselves.

This time, Zhang Jie also wore a set of fourth-tier competition-specific armor and a pair of gloves, exactly 100 weapon points worth.

At this moment, several people entered the room one after another, including the likes of Xia Mo Qian Nian, Divine Doctor Sima, and the quirky youngster, among others.

Lin Rui was slightly startled when he saw Divine Doctor Sima's online name.

He thought to himself, hey, Professor Sima, are you okay? You're still performing a blood transfusion surgery on me, yet you have the leisure to watch a fight?

Zhang Jie couldn't be bothered to pay attention, as he didn't know these people.

Immovable Ming King: Zhang Jie, a senior student from the Alien Body College of Future Science and Technology University, pleased to meet you!

Lin Rui thought this guy was quite polite, so he responded in kind.

Gu Ying Tiandao: Lin Rui, a senior student from the Alien Body College of Mingde University.

Zhang Jie thought to himself that the person opposite was indeed Lin Rui.

Just as the countdown ended, Zhang Jie saw the figure opposite him suddenly flash and disappear from the spot like a ghost.

Zhang Jie's pupils dilated in shock.

Such swift speed! Is he using an electrostatic field? This is an intermediate-level Thunder Escape of Grandmaster rank!

And which direction is this guy flash escaping to?

His reaction was extremely sharp, and in an instant, he caught Lin Rui's position, just 6 meters to his left.

But as Zhang Jie's gaze moved there, he saw a streak of white light.

"Hiss!"

Zhang Jie's eyes showed disbelief. His hands were only lifted halfway when his head slid off his neck.

Then his vision darkened, and a digital prompt sounded in his ear.

"Battle over, your character has died!"

At this moment in the comment section, Lin Xi, Si Malin, and a few others were talking in astonishment.

Quirky Youngster (Wang Sen): So fast! Faster than before, probably just 0.001 seconds, he completed drawing and sheathing the sword within a thousandth of a second!

Wang Sen thought to himself that this must be the effect of combining "Blood Sun Tianyuan" with "Guang Ming's Blood." These prosthetics, in conjunction with Lin Rui's self-created "Yang Pulling Slash," were a match made in heaven!

Who could possibly defend against such a rapid slash?

Below the rank of major, Lin Rui might already be invincible.

His brother Wei is really awesome; if he could awaken "Blood Sun Tianyuan" on Tianji Star, he could probably roam unchecked below the fifth realm.

Divine Doctor Sima (Si Malin): Indeed very fast! I kind of understand now, no wonder he makes so much money.

Si Malin's eyes were filled with deep surprise.

He had long known that Lin Rui's combat talent was strong, and had also watched some of Lin Rui's battle videos.

But at this moment, Si Malin was still deeply shocked by Lin Rui's slash.

He felt that this guy's combat skills could probably reach an SSS-grade rating at this stage!

In terms of prosthetic grading, before this person advances to Golden Core, he would definitely be able to reach an SS-grade!

This can't be real, can it? How could Lin Cong produce such a clever kid? To have a son who is a third realm emperor?

Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Even the genetic modulation technology that's currently popular among the wealthy elite, optimizing genes during embryonic stages, can't achieve this effect.

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): Such fast godspeed, so my brother's Escape Skill is also this good.

Lin Xi gritted her teeth, thinking that when Lin Rui sparred with her before, he indeed didn't go all out. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

This time Lin Rui used his Escape Skill, striking from Zhang Jie's blind spot, making this "Yang Pulling Slash" even more sudden and difficult to defend against.

She thought her "brother" was more like a biological weapon than her.

Biological weapon?

Lin Xi frowned, suddenly experiencing a piercing pain in her head.

Ever since she started embedding meridians and channels, from time to time, memories from her childhood would surface, especially when certain keywords were mentioned.

At this moment in the Martial Arts Club, Zhang Jie was staring blankly.

A single slash! He, the second metropolitan's greatly regarded next-in-seat top ten, with a comprehensive combat rating of S+ and a Quasi-Hall contender, was felled by someone with a single slash.

How could this be? How did that guy deliver the slash? What method did he use? Why was it so fast? What was the speed of the slash?

Zhang Jie immediately opened his own video library.

He had a good habit of recording videos when fighting opponents he deemed important.

However, after analyzing the video, Zhang Jie still couldn't figure out how Lin Rui executed the slash.

Because Lin Rui had slashed at the exact moment he was in his blind spot.

Zhang Jie couldn't see the process of him making the slash.

There was another method, which was to retrieve the full battle video from the virtual combat platform, but that required Lin Rui's consent.

Zhang Jie, without any hesitation, challenged Lin Rui again.

Lin Rui agreed.

He was there to vent for his sister; cutting this guy just once was hardly satisfying.

In their second encounter, Lin Rui noticed that Zhang Jie had turned both his arms into a bronze color and adopted a boxing posture to protect his head, guarding the left and right sides of his neck.

Lin Rui looked at this unconcernedly, eyes filled with mirth.

Just after the countdown ended, Zhang Jie realized that the young man in front of him had once again blinked out of existence.

"Behind me!"

Zhang Jie's pupils contracted slightly.

He thought that this guy's Escape Skill must have reached the Grandmaster level, or even the Great Grandmaster level was possible!

It was too fast, too smooth!

Although Zhang Jie had a large frame, his movements were very agile.

His movement technique was also extremely proficient, allowing him to turn around in an instant.

Zhang Jie then saw a burst of golden blade light suddenly slash towards his heart.

There was no sensation of pain in virtual combat, but at that moment, Zhang Jie felt a piercing pain in his heart.

A single strike, still just one!

He still hadn't managed to see the process of Lin Rui drawing his sword.

However, Zhang Jie had already deduced that Lin Rui's sword-drawing speed was between one-thousandth and two-thousandths of a second!

Zhang Jie found it unbelievable. How could a Martial Cultivator at the Captain rank have such a fast sword-drawing speed? What kind of sword technique was this?

Immovable Ming King: Again!

In their third encounter, Lin Rui noticed that Zhang Jie's True Qi and blood were all concentrated around vital areas such as the neck and heart.

He had also changed into a set of battle armor, focusing on strengthening the protection of these vital spots.

Lin Rui shook his head; he still imitated the same method, using the static electric field around his feet to instantaneously Escape behind Zhang Jie.

He chopped off Zhang Jie's legs with one strike, and then the second strike cleaved into Zhang Jie's brow.

The speed of his second strike was far from matching his first; the long sword took ten times longer to cross the void compared to the first strike.

But by this time, Zhang Jie was already unable to defend himself.

Immovable Ming King: Again!

Zhang Jie clenched his teeth, his eyes filling with a profusion of bloodshot veins.

But this time, his challenge was declined by Lin Rui.

Zhang Jie opened the chat box somewhat irritably.

Immovable Ming King (Zhang Jie): Why not accept?

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): There's no need to keep fighting. With your current state, no matter how many times we repeat this process, it's of no benefit to you or me.

Zhang Jie's face flushed with a surge of color.

He remembered the words Xia Mo Qian Nian had said, "You will be tortured. He can't help you practice real combat ability."

Indeed, such battles, no matter how many times they occurred, were of no help to him.

But he still wanted to see Lin Rui's sword-drawing process, to at least know how he was defeated.

Zhang Jie knew his mentality had completely collapsed.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Don't take it too seriously. Reality and the virtual world are different. For example, you definitely have strong physical attributes, but you can't bring those to the virtual world. Also, I can tell that your body hardening technique is nearly at the 'Impenetrable Golden Body' level. At that time, my swift blade might not be effective against you.

Zhang Jie's facial muscles twitched involuntarily, he used to console the defeated with similar words.

Immovable Ming King (Zhang Jie): I want to know what secret sword technique you just used. I can't find your sword technique in the Martial Arts Association.

There were records of similar sword techniques in the Martial Arts Association, but none could achieve that kind of speed.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Self-developed. It's not recorded at the Martial Arts Association. Alright, let's chat another time. I hope to face you in the arena the day after tomorrow.

※※※※

Late that night, when Shi Yan returned to Mingde University's martial arts club carrying a bunch of shopping bags, she was surprised to learn from her senior that Zhang Jie had stayed in his suite and hadn't even come out for dinner.

Shi Yan was astonished. Could it be that this guy was still engaged in virtual combat?

How strange! With Mingde University's virtual combat platform standard, he should have been bored in half an hour.

She knocked on Zhang Jie's room door, and after a moment, Zhang Jie's voice came from inside."

"Shi Yan? Come in."

Shi Yan entered and found that no lights were on inside; it was pitch dark.

She found Zhang Jie in the study, just taking off his virtual reality helmet, his complexion looking somewhat pale for some reason. Under the fluorescent glow of the computer indicator lights, he looked like a ghost.

"Turn on the lights!"

Shi Yan looked at Zhang Jie with a surprised expression: "You were really in virtual combat? Were you addicted to beating up noobs?"

Zhang Jie had a gloomy expression and remained silent.

He thought, where was he having fun beating up noobs? He had been the one getting beaten!

However, what Shi Yan said wasn't wrong; afterwards, he did beat up noobs.

After his battle with Lin Rui ended, he had been fighting someone called 'Weird Youngster'. That person had decent martial arts skills and a resilient mind, never giving up despite being beaten countless times, and kept improving.

At this moment, Shi Yan suddenly looked thoughtful and walked towards the window.

From here, she could see the front door of the martial arts club.

A hoverbus was parked at the entrance, and two teenagers about eighteen years old were stepping out of it.

In that instant, they also felt a connection and looked up to meet Shi Yan's gaze. Even though they were dozens of meters apart, when their eyes collided, it was as if lightning struck.

"Tianjing Martial Arts University's 'Demon Sword' Baili Wang and 'Demon Hand' Zhen Xiaoxiao."

Zhang Jie also came to Shi Yan's side to look down, his eyes filled with confusion: "Why are there so many people? And they're carrying holographic cameras; are those from Tian Yin Video Network? And Kuai Bo Video Network too, hmm?"

Zhang Jie noticed not far away were three floating live broadcast vehicles, slowly descending from the sky: "Why have television crews also come?"

"Didn't you read the group chat? These video networks and TV stations were willing to band together to offer a high sponsorship to obtain the rights to broadcast this exchange battle. This should be the will of 'Sky Sword Prosthetic Company' behind them, wanting to take this opportunity to test Baili Wang and me," said Shi Yan with crossed arms and a slight smile curling at the corner of her lips. "I agreed!"

Zhang Jie frowned upon hearing this, thinking that the two renowned 'Triple Realm Imperial Grades' were finally going to determine who was superior.

But—

Zhang Jie thought of Lin Rui.

The problem was, in this battleground where two tigers clashed, a prehistoric beast lay hidden.
