Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

The referee quickly ruled that Lorne Angus was incapacitated, and Lin Rui won.

As a fifth-level Martial Cultivator, Angus possessed incredibly strong vitality, yet he had fainted due to the impact of Lin Rui's sword intent and the abyssal will.

Even if he had remained conscious, he was bound to lose, as being bisected at the waist, he was no match for Lin Rui.

The medical team immediately rushed to the stage and administered emergency treatment to Lorne Angus, primarily to preserve his martial arts suit and prevent his body structure from having any lasting issues.

The stage was thrown into chaos, yet beneath it, there was utter silence.

The majority of the students here were from Mingde University, and they couldn't believe the scene unfolding before them.

"Iron Fist" Lorne, known as a top-tier fighter in the ninth base's martial arts league, was unable to withstand Lin Rui's Sword Draw Slash.

It wasn't until Lin Rui returned to the Mingde University team bench that the venue burst into an explosive buzzing.

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Is this for real?"

"It's fake, right? That's Iron Fist Lorne!"

"One slash, just one slash, and that was his first strike? How badass is that?"

"It was too quick, really too fast, did you record how fast his sword was?"

"It seems it was one five-thousandth of a second! But at this point, it's not just about speed."

"This guy is too incredible, right? He's only a freshman; how terrifying will he be by his senior year? How did Mingde University just churn out such a strong person?"

"He must have implanted a Golden Core, but I don't know what type of Golden Core. His sword-drawing speed is so fast, his other martial arts must be extraordinary too. This is beyond the hall of fame, absolutely legendary-level talent!"

Nearly every reporter in attendance quickly turned on their personal smart devices, started drafting news articles, and some even attempted to interview Lin Rui but were detained by security outside.

At that moment, inside Mingde University, Xu Bo also excitedly punched the air.

"As expected of Senior Lin, what 'Iron Fist' Lorne? It was just a matter of one slash for him."

Beside him, Li Xiaorou was stunned, hardly able to believe the video before her.

Lorne Angus had lost, and so swiftly at that?

Those seasoned martial commentators had clearly said that Iron Fist Lorne had a great chance of winning.

"Don't trust those martial commentators; they're all misleading people with ties deep in underground betting."

Xu Bo felt vindicated and glanced at Li Xiaorou, "Plus, the martial arts videos Senior Lin shot were genuinely sincere, impacting many people's livelihoods; naturally, they would not speak well about him."

Li Xiaorou's gaze was still bewildered, even feeling her worldviews shattered.

This can't be possible! Even if Lin Rui was strong, he was only a fourth-level cultivator, while Lorne was a fifth SS-level. The gap spans an entire level. Even if Lorne would lose, it shouldn't have been this fast.

Lin Rui was currently speaking to his audience in his live streaming room from the player's bench.

His audience was enthusiastic; the rewards alone from the earlier battle had reached nearly 80 million federation coins.

Although this money would not be credited until a month later, Lin Rui was still very pleased.

"Well, Lorne Angus' strength is not bad, and if his strength were even a bit weaker, I wouldn't have had the medical team ready by the sideline, my control over the sword is actually quite good."

"I could have won without drawing the sword, but I estimate it would have taken a long time to defeat him, which I found bothersome. Lorne is a very comprehensive fighter with no weak points."

"Who said that, how could I ever go into beauty makeup? Rui Fang Pharmaceutical Company is a business I started with a friend, dealing with several formulas I created myself. You can try them; our moisturizing cream and toner do really work great—everyone who has used them speaks highly of them."

"True, my parents were researchers of martial suits biologies, so I was naturally interested in biology and pharmacology since I was young. My medical and surgical skills are quite good, and I'm not bragging!"

"Haha, recently the frequency of my live streams has diminished; my coursework is pretty intense since I am pursuing a bachelor's degree in martial suit studies, a direct Ph.D. in Extreme Star cultural sciences, and direct Ph.D. in biology and martial suit surgery, which is really head-splitting, but thankfully the university has granted me the privilege of skipping classes."

"No, no, it's not boastful; I'm genuinely that busy. I also have a symbiont, and dear friend, you mentioned that when you use the seventh move of Fiery Fire Burning Palm, it doesn't connect well with the other techniques. I know about this; it requires a special suit. I recommend buying this model from Tianlan Group—it's very cost-effective—"

Lin Rui was still eager to chat and boast with his fans, but bad news came from the arena.

Lorne Angus's life was saved, and he wouldn't suffer any residual effects, but two of his implants were damaged, requiring two months of recovery.

That meant Lorne Angus was effectively out of the season.

Without Iron Fist Lorne, Mingde University was highly unlikely to make it into the post-season championship.

Yu Feicui and Fang Ranran noticed the atmosphere among the Mingde University students was off and decisively led everyone to evacuate.

Fang Ranran was both disdainful and helpless, "What kind of top medical team is this? Lin Rui's blade was so fast, the cut so clean, yet they couldn't even save Lorne's implants. Mingde University can totally file a complaint with the competition committee."

Lin Rui collaborated with the crew to pack up the holographic live broadcast, and as he walked toward their air yacht with Fang Ranran, he received a friend request.

Deep Flowing Years: Hello, my name is Geng Tai. I am an assistant to the supervisor at Jinhao Real Estate Group. Our supervisor would like to meet you.

Lin Rui ignored it and closed the request directly.

He was puzzled, Jinhao Real Estate Group? That's the company belonging to Jin Tianchen's family from the Second City University, one of the three major real estate groups in the Ninth Base City.

What does this company's supervisor assistant want with him?

Yet Geng Tai's message was persistent, sending another friend request.

Deep Flowing Years: Our supervisor has some important matters to discuss with you.

Deep Flowing Years: Lin Rui, I suggest you take our invitation seriously.

This guy sent several friend requests, all of which Lin Rui closed.

Just as Lin Rui was returning to the yacht, planning to block this persistent sender, the tone of the messages changed.

Deep Flowing Years: How about this, Lin Rui? We will pay you accorded to the standards of a martial arts star's appearance fee. Meet our supervisor, 20 million federal currency.

Lin Rui paused, slightly interested, he then accepted the friend request and replied.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): I'm pretty busy recently. I'm not interested in meeting anyone unless it involves more money, and the meeting place must be a formal, secure location.

A mere 20 million? He could earn that in a day of live streaming if he was lucky. Why risk meeting this person's superior?

Deep Flowing Years (Geng Tai): 50 million! That's the treatment of a second-tier star. How about tonight at 6 PM at Olin Manor, in the Jinyu Hall private room?

Lin Rui unconsciously stroked his chin, thinking, this guy is really raising the stakes?

50 million? Well, it was worth making the trip.

He might as well hear what the other party had to say—obviously, going alone would be foolish.

He immediately contacted Fang Ranran: Ranran, are you free tonight? Could you accompany me to meet someone?

Rain Falling, Heart Dust (Fang Ranran): Meet whom? Don't you know how busy I've been managing your Rui Fang Pharmaceutical lately? I'm becoming your glorified employee.

Lin Rui: A supervisor from Jinhao Real Estate Group. I suspect it's that Jin Tianchen. They are paying, and I'll split it with you.

Fang Ranran was stunned. Why would Lin Rui want to see Jin Tianchen? It was clear to even her heels that it wouldn't be for anything good.

Fang Ranran soon realized the other side knew it wasn't going to be a pleasant banquet, hence wanting her to stand by his side.

She then saw Lin Rui's new message, mentioning the 50 million appearance fee.

Fang Ranran couldn't help but scoff, thinking this guy really had money on the brain.

Rain Falling, Heart Dust (Fang Ranran): 50 million is not enough. Tell them at least 100 million, I'll take 50 million.

Lin Rui thought Geng Tai would likely disagree, but after sending the message and waiting for a while, Geng Tai actually agreed after some hesitation.
