Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Just as Lin Rui stepped on one of the shared balance transportation vehicles within the school and returned to the front of the Martial Cultivator Club's gate, a young man with long white hair, delicate features, and a ring pierced through his nose passed by him.

This person seemed like an ordinary student who had arrived at school early, carrying a backpack, his hands tucked in his pockets, and wearing a personal terminal shaped like over-the-ear headphones.

He appeared to be listening to music, his demeanor casual and carefree, his eyes filled with rapture—until the moment they brushed past each other, at which point the man glanced at him casually.

Initially, Lin Rui did not pay much attention.

It wasn't until he stepped through the gates of the Martial Cultivator Club that his strides abruptly halted.

Something was wrong! The person he had just encountered must be very strong!

Although the white-haired youth had tried hard to conceal his Divine Sense and Spiritual Sense, pretending to be an ordinary student, there were many discrepancies.

Ordinary Martial Cultivators might not notice, but Lin Rui's sensory abilities were exceptionally powerful!

Moreover, the way that white-haired youth had looked at him was quite unsettling!

Lin Rui began to search through the video footage recorded by his "Smart Dragon" Model 5 exoskeleton armor.

Lin Rui noticed that the white-haired youth's pupils were focused correctly, showing that he was actually observing him carefully. His gaze was very strange, like a fox eyeing its prey with interest.

Besides, Lin Rui felt that the man's facial features seemed unnatural, and his aura felt somewhat familiar and instinctively repulsive to him.

He then opened his personal terminal's video library to search with the facial features of the man.

However, Lin Rui did not find anything; the man was not in the video library.

Then he suddenly remembered something and opened the last video in the library.

His complexion immediately turned a slight shade paler.

This white-haired youth was the very person who had killed another "Lin Rui" more than two months ago!

This guy must have worn a bionic mask and dyed his hair white, making him completely unrecognizable on the outside.

But when Lin Rui compared their pupils side by side, they were exactly the same!

He had found the murderer who had killed him!

Lin Rui strode abruptly out from the door, only to find that the white-haired youth had disappeared without a trace. However, one of the shared balance transportation vehicles parked at the entrance was now missing.

※※※※

By this time, the white-haired youth had left the university and was standing on the platform of Mingde University's second urban rail station.

While waiting, the white-haired youth was smiling faintly and having a video chat with someone.

"It's so strange. I shot him three times, his head exploded like a watermelon, and his brain splattered like mud; how could he possibly have come back to life? This is too weird."

The person in the video had masked their own appearance and spoke in a cold tone, "So it's no problem that others didn't pay the remaining balance, the target was not eliminated, and the mission was not completed."

"But it's just too weird."

The silver-haired youth touched his chin with his hand, his eyes filled with distress, "I really did kill him! And I confirmed that Lin Rui was dead at that time. I even gave you the video footage of the killing, Katusha. You saw that video, didn't you? And are you sure this person is really him? This is such trouble now. Why don't you find a way to take out our employer, retrieve our money, and be done with it."

The person he was conversing with was not only a hacker on his team but also a top-ranked intelligence analyst and their external liaison.

"The employer isn't holding us accountable," the person in the video said coldly. "He's willing to increase the original commission by five times and is ready to pay 30% of the down payment now for us to continue with the mission! As long as Lin Rui is dead, we'll also get the payment for the previous task."

"But the situation is quite troublesome this time, extremely troublesome. The place he's staying is practically impregnable, and the Tianlan Group has even provided him with a 5A security rating. There's also a team from the Security Bureau monitoring him around the clock. And look at his martial arts video, this guy has greatly improved his martial arts skills. He's probably reached quasi-school level; it's a massive change."

Just then, a city rail train stopped in front of him. The silver-haired youth stepped inside, "Plus, Katusha, you've alerted him. Can you see what he's wearing? The 'Zhilong' Type 5 military exoskeleton armor. I bet his security has gotten even tighter now."

After a pause, the person in the video said, "The mistake was mine. I alerted them when hacking into Mingde University's server, but you are 'Dead Eye' Horn! Currently the third-ranked ace killer at the colonel level, and our team is the best. Horn, you should have a way to deal with this. The commission this time is really substantial. With this one job, we can relax for the next two years."

The silver-haired youth's lips curled slightly, confidence and pride shining in his eyes, "Alright, I'll analyze the intelligence again to see if we can come up with a better plan of action. You can go ahead and contact the employer; tell him to increase the commission by ten times, and not a penny less!"

After finishing speaking, the silver-haired youth turned off the communication and then opened Lin Rui's file folder on his personal terminal.

"Attention passengers, the doors are closing. The next stop is Tianheng East Station—"

As the silver-haired youth was engrossed in Lin Rui's information, he received a message from his companion.

Katusha: Horn, something's not right. The 5A action team from Tianlan Group is on the move, and so are the people from the Security Bureau. They're closing in on the subway station. Your identity might have been compromised.

Katusha: I'm now cutting off the surrounding passages to stop them from getting close. You need to escape immediately, following the route I've indicated.

At that moment, the silver-haired youth tensed his mind and looked up ahead.

Just as the doors were about to close, an armored hand suddenly reached through, preventing the doors from shutting.

When the doors opened again, a young man wearing exoskeleton armor strode in. He was holding a knife, head down, his eyes ferociously glaring over: "You, are the assassin from a few months back, aren't you?"

The silver-haired youth was also surprised, his pupils even constricting slightly, "Lin Rui?"

He was all too familiar with that face. Projected onto his retina by his personal terminal was a three-dimensional photo of Lin Rui. Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire

What surprised him was that this guy had actually followed him!

The silver-haired youth then laughed, his eyes fierce and delighted.

He was thinking about how to shatter the guy's outer shell, not expecting that his prey would come right to him.

At the same moment, Lin Rui received another message from Xue Lingxue.

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): Lin Rui, are you an idiot? I told you to wait! I've already found his information. That's 'Dead Eye' Horn, with a martial arts comprehensive score of 4SS, and he's equipped with very powerful gear.

Wang Cheng: Mr. Lin, please be extremely cautious! The person in front of you is very dangerous, a top-ranked assassin from the dark world.

Lin Rui thought to himself that he was well aware, as he was facing a peak colonel with an SS rank in exoskeleton evaluation!

At that moment, he was extremely grateful that Yu Feicui had made him wear the exoskeleton armor he had on. This suit of exoskeleton armor could compensate for the lack of strength and True Qi since his body still didn't have a Golden Core and was only at the quasi-school level!

In the instant that this thought flickered through Lin Rui's mind, the Divine Sense and Telekinesis of both figures violently collided within the train car, causing all the surrounding windows to 'crack'!
