Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

A day later, in the second sublevel of the secret base.

Fei Yunlai, with his hands braced on the iron railing, watched the new member of 'Lin Rui Studio' practice knife skills below.

That spirited and dashing slender figure transformed into layers of red clouds, moving at high speed in the practice arena converted from an underground warehouse. Bright blades sliced through the air in sync with the fluttering red clouds, continuously cutting through the void.

It was none other than Ji Xueying, whose identity, fabricated by Lin Rui within the Security Bureau, was that of a legal immigrant from the Red Luan No.3 Planet.

"Your knife skills are identical to hers, only the level is a bit lower."

Fei Yunlai praised, with a hint of jealousy in his voice, "But she's still very impressive. The comprehensive combat power is at least 5SSS, ordinary Sixth Realm opponents are no match for her. It was her who helped you and Professor Han take down Qin Yan's cave mansion, wasn't it? I'm surprised you were willing to spend so much money to create a synthetic body for her in the Ninth Base City."

He too wished he could create a synthetic body for his 'Celestial Dog'.

That way, Fei Yunlai wouldn't be alone in the Ninth Base City.

However, Fei Yunlai couldn't handle the identity issues for a synthetic body, let alone come up with the money to create one.

That guy Lin Rui, for his protector devil, had spent at least four billion federal dollars.

That's just like some dog tycoon! If that money were given to him, Fei Yunlai could enhance the combat strength of himself and his protector devil to the limit, with an actual comprehensive combat power of at least 7SSS.

Lin Rui, too, was seriously observing Ji Xueying's knife skills, thinking that in the past two months, Ji Xueying's martial arts had improved rapidly. Whether it was the Escape Skill or her knife skills, she had reached the 'true meaning' level.

The stance work Lin Rui taught Ji Xueying was also nearly perfect.

Apparently, Ji Xueying hasn't been neglecting her martial arts training during her time surfing the internet.

And now, Ji Xueying's knife and movement skills were more relaxed, more fluid, and more graceful. The light from the blade danced unrestrainedly, as if a celestial steed soared across the skies.

Unlike before, when Blood Blade Ji was constantly trying to constrain and suppress herself, which also affected her martial arts.

Back then, her knife skills were strong but became too rigid, lacking liveliness and agility. Over time, this would deviate from the true essence of the light, thunder, and fire system.

Lin Rui believed that both light and thunder-fire should be unrestrained and splendidly radiant.

"But doesn't this mean there'll be a conflict with her real body?" Fei Yunlai shook his head, seemingly unconvinced, "If she spends too much time here, she won't be able to protect you on Tianji Star. And what about her sleep capsule? Are you planning on placing it in the school?"

"I've implanted a biological chip in her real body, which also has a combat AI. It should be fine for handling general battles."

Lin Rui was unconcerned, "Her primary duty is still to protect me on Tianji Star. If something comes up here, she can join the fight. From time to time, she also might come here to relax."

The main point was, after Blood Blade Ji became a synthetic body walker, her spiritual power would greatly increase, allowing her real body to be implanted with two more top-notch bioarmor pieces.

Besides, this would provide him with some alibi evidence.

"As for the sleep capsule—I plan to buy a Descension Device for the base to build a custom model sleep capsule for her and Lin Xi. Of course, I need one too. Later, if you and Old Gong need one, you can also move here. I've already signed an agreement with Mingde University's security department. They will extend the security radius to include this place."

Fei Yunlai thought, it's actually possible to let Mingde University's security department handle the security here?

This was quite good, as Mingde University possessed two militia troops, a regular National Guard with equipment second only to the heavy-armored forces, equipped with everything but self-propelled artillery.

Now, this base housed a significant number of automated turrets, 16 Red Spider Type-6s, and 2 Red Spider Type-7s, plus the fact that the office building of the Third Special Action Division was nearby, meant the security level had reached 7S.

Fei Yunlai was somewhat tempted. While he was safe at the Martial Arts Club, the 'Divine Sleep Type-3' sleep capsules, though top-end for average students, were of too low a level for him. It'd be best if he could move his specially customized sleep capsule here.

Talking about it was truly bitter—Fei Yunlai had spent one billion federal dollars to custom-make that sleep capsule for himself. But since he had sold his mansion, the capsule couldn't be sold and was currently just collecting dust in a rental warehouse.

Fei Yunlai had always been too embarrassed to move it to the Martial Arts Club. It would be a real blow to his pride.

Fei Yunlai coughed and his expression turned solemn, "Anyway, BOSS, about those pieces of evidence I gave you, you've seen them all, right? What do you think?"

"What else can I think? Whether as a major general of the Security Bureau or as the Command Envoy of the Dajin Counter-Espionage Bureau, it's my duty."

Lin Rui spoke indifferently, "But to tell the truth, I'm not strong enough right now. I must wait until our power grows stronger, until after I've established a firm foothold in Luojing before I can reveal those evidences."

"I know what you want to say, just hand the evidence over to the higher-ups for processing, but first I need to be sure about what role my mentor, the third Divine Envoy, played in this case."

If his mentor was the mastermind behind the scenes, wouldn't that be firing on an ally?

He couldn't use the Demon Suppression technique to betray; that would mean suppressing his own master.

If his master were to rebel, he would definitely have to help sharpen the blade.

There's no choice, once you're on the ship, stop thinking about other paths.

He smiled again and glanced at Fei Yunlai, "Rest assured, since you've signed an employment contract with me, you're my person now. With my protection, whether it's that certain general from the military's 'Logistical Support Center' or that so-called 'Honorary Member of the Congress', none of them can touch you."

At these words, Fei Yunlai's lips twitched slightly, and then he nodded emotionlessly, "Boss, you're right, I also think playing it safe is best."

Inwardly, he felt so helpless; recalling his first meeting with Lin Rui brimming with spirit, and now he had become a small shrimp under Lin Rui's command, having to rely on Lin Rui's wings for protection from the storm.

What made Fei Yunlai feel ashamed was that initially, upon hearing that Lin Rui was a Major General in the Security Bureau and a commander of the Assassins Bureau, he had been overjoyed.

It turned out that the employer he had chosen reluctantly was actually a powerful supporter capable of protecting him.

"However, Boss, I think it's best to put a hold on the nursery rhyme assassin's work for now, the spotlight is just too intense at the moment."

If there was one area where he felt dissatisfaction with his employer Lin Rui, it was this matter.

The ancients spoke of the 'child of a wealthy family should not sit in a hall of wind', and Lin Rui taking up the task of a nursery rhyme assassin with his status as commander of the Assassins Bureau was far too risky.

Even if he wanted to purge the filth and eradicate evil for the people, he could have his subordinates carry out the tasks, instead of exposing himself bare-chested.

Hearing this, Lin Rui laughed heartily, thinking to himself that if the nursery rhyme assassin didn't commit any crimes, when would he ever be able to exchange for the Imperial Flame Battle Dragon, and how would he replicate those combat spirits' martial arts skills?

"Don't worry about that, I'm spending so much money to hire you for security, right? Old Fei, if you're really concerned, then just put more effort into making sure that my actions are foolproof before and after each operation. Also, recover your shapeshifting abilities as soon as possible; I'm still counting on you to come to the capital to be my right-hand man."

Lin Rui then turned to Ji Xueying below, "Xueying, stop practicing and change your clothes—I'll take you to the shopping center for a stroll."

Ji Xueying immediately stopped her knife work and looked up at Lin Rui, a joyful and radiant smile spread across her face.

Ji Xueying liked it here; she liked this 'human' world.

Here, nobody treated her as a demon and looked at her with strange eyes; she was no longer considered short here either, standing at one meter seventy-seven, perfectly average in height.

She also enjoyed it when Lin Rui took her out for strolls and shopping.

Then, on the fifth day following that, Lin Rui descended to the shapeshifter's location early in the morning, starting the preparations for his 'Dragon Molting'.

At the onset of his descent, Lin Rui's first task was to adapt to his 'Ultimate Heart Source'.

Just three days prior, under the continuous exposure to that mirror by Lin Xi, Lin Rui finally awakened this powerful emperor-level bloodline.

Lin Rui had been adapting to this ability, striving to master this innate bloodline to wield it with ease.

The reason being that his upcoming 'Molting' process would rely entirely on this ability.

It's worth mentioning that Lin Rui's 'Radiant Thunder Sacred Body' showed signs of awakening a new bloodline talent months ago when he killed Guang Ming's fifth Saint Heir, Xu Zhe.

But up until now, after such prolonged exposure to the 'Blood Refining Mirror', it was still in a state of difficulty.

Lin Rui speculated that this bloodline might be very strong, perhaps one of the most potent abilities within the 'Radiant Thunder Sacred Body', with a talent level possibly reaching SSS, or even SSS+.

The reason Lin Rui hadn't implanted a new Eternal Armor while his spiritual power had some spare capacity was that he was waiting for this talent to awaken.

Lin Rui continued his practice until noon, and when the sunlight was about to reach its peak, he finally entered his room.

At this moment, Ji Xueying, Wang Sen, Xue Lingxue, Li Li, and Lin Xi were already in place on the ship, providing him protection.

Lin Rui sat down in the center of the room, first injecting himself with two shots, one being 'High-purity Dragon Molting Essence', and the other 'Dragon Armor Strengthening Solution'—the top-grade medicines he had purchased for 800 million federal dollars.

Afterward, Lin Rui also swallowed two pills, one that he had refined himself, and the other that Meng Weiyun sent from tens of thousands of miles away via flying letter, called 'Divine Blood Dragon Solidifying Pill', which could strengthen the dragon armor material, serving as Meng Weiyun's apology for the last incident.

Lin Rui then opened another box, which contained a syringe, labeled 'X Dragon Armor Essence', along with the words 'East Asia Science Academy's 12th Eternal Armor Biological Lab'.

After checking the syringe and seeing that the liquid inside was free of impurities, he picked it up without hesitation and injected it into his neck.
