Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

The match between Mingde University and Second City University was held in the fifth sports stadium of Mingde University.

200 years ago, the 15th president of Mingde University, ambitious and determined, wanted to make his mark in armed martial arts and revitalize the martial arts faculty of the school, so he built this large sports venue that could accommodate 90,000 people to watch the competition simultaneously.

Unfortunately, since the construction of the fifth sports stadium, it had never been filled to capacity, and the martial arts faculty of Mingde University still hadn't made any progress.

Until today, an hour before the match, the seats were already fully occupied.

Not only were students and faculty from the university gathered here, but many alumni living nearby also hurried over.

When Lin Rui entered the players' seating area carrying Da Hei Tian, a roar as loud as a tsunami erupted in the stadium.

Some people were banging on their seats with bottles of pure water: "Lin Rui! Lin Rui! Lin Rui!"

"Instant Blade! Instant Blade! Instant Blade! Instant Blade!"

The whole sports stadium was shaking so violently that one worried it might collapse.

Lin Rui was inwardly shocked and had to stand up several times, walking around the seating area, bowing to his teachers, classmates, and alumni.

Lin Rui had to be extremely respectful, because all the people before him were his bread and butter.

Currently on Tianhuan Video Network, the main group that tipped him weren't those girls, but these successful and wealthy alumni.

This era's girls, having gone through various fan economies, were cagey about their money; unless they especially liked a livestreamer, they didn't easily open their wallets.

In contrast, these seniors had always expected a lot from him and were very generous with their money.

They ardently hoped that Mingde University's martial arts faculty could have a leading figure since this era still revered martial prowess.

It wasn't until half a minute later that the cheering in the sports stadium died down.

After Lin Rui sat down, he realized that the moods of the people around him were somewhat off.

Especially Zhao Yan and Nolan Wei, both with cold expressions, looked fiercely towards the opposite side of the ring.

Lin Rui, puzzled, asked Fei Yunlai, "Coach Fei, what's going on with them? Did that Jin guy use some underhanded tactics?"

Fei Yunlai was very pleased that Lin Rui hadn't addressed him as Old Fei in front of the martial arts club members.

He leaned down and explained in Lin Rui's ear, "He used some shady moves. It seems like Jin Security Company and the Sixth Street Gang sent messages to their parents, and Nolan Wei even received a summons from the police yesterday."

Lin Rui couldn't help but narrow his eyes, a sharp light flashing within.

This Jin Tianchen was truly detestable when it came to his methods and temperament.

Unfortunately for him, Xue Lingxue and Lin Xi had already helped him gather intelligence and inferred that Jin Tianchen was surrounded by top-tier sensory equipment, with a strong security force; two 6S-level tactical squads, three Red Spider 7 units, and nine Red Spider 6 units. When he traveled, he was also protected by eight specially modified and strengthened intelligent riot armor vehicles.

He even had a top hacker as an advisor by his side, and in times of crisis, he could call for help from Jinhao Real Estate Group's cybersecurity department.

So, for them to kill Jin Tianchen without leaving a trace was difficult.

Here, 'without leaving a trace' meant not revealing their true identities.

The terrifying aspect was that in addition to powerful conventional security forces, Jinhao Real Estate Group also harbored a legal militia with four fully-staffed brigades and was one of the warlords of Base Nine.

However, there was already a plan in motion from Guang Ming Star No. 9 to strike at Jin Tianchen and the Jin conglomerate, which was already underway.

"Little Rui, don't worry, Zhao Yan and Nalan won't be knocked down so easily. In today's competition, even if we can't wear Jin Tianchen down, we can ensure a fair fight between you and him," said Yu Feicui, glancing sideways at Fei Yunlai.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she always felt that this senior brother was particularly affectionate, even somewhat ingratiating towards Lin Rui.

In this martial arts club, Fei Yunlai clearly admired Wang Sen the most, yet he always doted on Lin Rui, taking great care of him and following his advice.

Of course, this might have been her misconception. Yu Feicui shook her head, thinking there must be something wrong with her eyes.

However, Fei Yunlai was now cheerfully asking Lin Rui, "Student Lin, you were with Professor Sima until this morning before returning to the martial arts club. You must have implanted a new Zhi Zhuang, right? What type is it?"

Lin Rui nodded, "What else could it be? Of course, it's light-based, SSS-grade."

He was not one to brag or posture. Lin Rui, confident of his victory in today's battle, was still determined to enhance his odds of winning to the utmost.

Since Lin Rui knew that the next bloodline talent of his Sacred Body was the Emperor Level 'Divine Solar Heavens', he knew exactly what Zhi Zhuang he should implant next.

This talent not only enhanced the might of 'Divine Solar Heavens' but also strengthened his other bloodline talents, significantly boosting his fighting power.

In addition, Lin Rui had also enhanced his five Abyssal concepts to 8%, which in effect, meant he could manifest up to 15%, reaching the limit his body could bear.

But as a result, Lin Rui's Soul Power points had dropped to just over 620,000.

Lin Rui sighed inwardly. With all these increases and decreases, he wondered when he would be able to gather 1.1 million points?

He noticed that Fei Yunlai seemed very excited after hearing his response, which Lin Rui found slightly odd, but he didn't dwell on it.

It was at this moment that Lin Rui heard a thunderous noise coming from the front again; it was Second City University's team making their entrance.

The person walking at the forefront was Jin Tianchen. As soon as he appeared, he triggered boos from the teachers and students of Mingde University.

Jin Tianchen walked out through the passage with an indifferent expression, oblivious to the hostile environment of the away arena. He looked around and, eventually, his gaze settled on the player's bench in the direction of Mingde University.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Jin Tianchen gazed from afar at Nolan Wei and Zhao Yan with an exceptionally cold look in his eyes.

His gaze then swept over Lin Rui. When he saw the knife hanging at Lin Rui's waist, his expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.

Behind Jin Tianchen, the Deputy General of the Second City University, Xiao Ningshan, first gave a thumbs up in the direction of Zhao Yan, then turned his thumb down and made a throat-slitting gesture.

His actions made the teachers and students of Mingde University even angrier. The rising and falling clamor and jeers surged like a flood.

Li Xiaorou was sitting in the eastern stands, howling with the students around her.

She had become an ardent hater of Lin Rui, delighted to see any embarrassment of his and hated not just him but his teammates by extension.

But there was no helping it; everyone around her was from Mingde University, with many fans of Lin Rui and the Martial Arts Club. Li Xiaorou, amidst her adversaries, had no choice but to conform quietly.

At the same time, Li Xiaorou sent a link to Xu Bo.

She and Xu Bo were not friends but were classmates in the same class group.

Determined, Li Xiaorou sought to persuade Xu Bo, to pull the classmate out of the mire surrounding Lin Rui, hoping Xu Bo would also spurn him.

Firefly Song (Li Xiaorou): Look at this, it's a post turned over from Second City University, and to think that our Martial Arts Club's Zhao Yan and Nalan Wei would be such people!

Firefly Song (Li Xiaorou): They violated a female classmate and even drove a girl named Xia Yun to suicide. They were thus expelled from the Martial Arts Club at Second City University. Our Martial Arts Club recruited such people to our school, so shameless. Your idol, Lin Rui, is no different from them. What honor is there to speak of for a team like this, even if they make it to the championship?

Xu Bo frowned and opened the link Li Xiaorou had sent.

It was indeed a post from the internal forum of Second City University detailing the experiences of Zhao Yan and Nalan Wei before and after they left the Martial Arts Club.

As Xu Bo read the contents of the post, his expression gradually turned stern, wondering if Zhao Yan and Nalan Wei were really such people.

The post already had many comments, and as Xu Bo scrolled down, his face began to take on a strange expression.

I see the light (Xu Bo): Li Xiaorou, have you not seen the comments below? It seems the original poster's story is backfiring. It feels like what the OP is saying might not be the truth.

Li Xiaorou, surprised, opened the link to check again.

"Interesting, a thief crying 'stop thief,' how perverse!"

"That Mr. Jin really knows how to disgust people. It's only been a year, and already they think we've forgotten what happened? Worthy of Jinhao Real Estate Group, impressive! Impressive!"

"Watch your words unless you want to be sued. The legal department of Jinhao Real Estate Group is known as the invincible in the West—seeking a defeat they cannot find."

"What's with the school management, eating shit? Submitting to the Jin family's donations before was disgraceful enough, and now they're pinning the crime on students who were courageous and righteous?"

"Ever since this incident, I haven't returned to Second City University for a year. If the case isn't thoroughly investigated, I'll never participate in alumni activities for the rest of my life—I consider it a shame!"

"Same here! This term's school management has no backbone, disgusting! No matter how many honors the Martial Arts Club gets now, I would feel ashamed."

"Jin family's online army is really something, controlling comments and closing threads, admirable! Admire!"

After flipping through it, Li Xiaorou's expression also turned solemn.

What surprised her was that these rebuttals, although mostly anonymous, included some real names and surnames, all certified outstanding alumni of Second City University—people with successful careers, certain social status, or who had reached the sixth or seventh realms in martial arts.

Li Xiaorou was puzzled, wondering what on earth was going on.

She checked the forum of Second City University again. There were all posts accusing and vilifying Zhao Yan and Nalan Wei of supposed truths but, as Li Xiaorou opened the comment sections of the posts, she found that the vast majority of comments were rebuttals or sarcastic, even directly targeting Jin Tianchen.

At the players' bench of Second City University at that time, Jin Tianchen was staring intently at the knife on Lin Rui's waist.

He summoned Coach Dong of the Martial Arts Society to his side, "We may need to change the armor later. Get a Fortress type 5, a custom set, to be sent over."

"Change the armor?" Coach Dong was startled upon hearing this. The Fortress type 5 was a heavily-armored suit enhanced for defense.

This suit provided strong defense and was relatively flexible but took up many equipment points.

With that suit on, Jin Tianchen wouldn't need other equipment.

He asked, puzzled, "Boss, didn't that person promise you he wouldn't use the 'Yang Pulling Slash'?"

"One cannot count on his word!" Jin Tianchen shook his head with a somber face, "He may have changed the sword. Judging by the shape of the sheath, it's likely a custom model of the Flash type 5, more conducive to Iaido than the Big Black Sky."

This kind of sword was developed for various Iaido techniques, specializing in this particular art.

Putting himself in their shoes, he thought that since Fang Ranran had placed over 100 billion in bets in the underworld market for such a huge interest, she'd likely force Lin Rui to break his promise.

Right then, Jin Tianchen's assistant, Geng Tai, hastily approached; his face was as white as a sheet, "BOSS, there's a public opinion issue on your school's forum, and it's not looking good."

Puzzled, Jin Tianchen opened the school forum as advised. Moments later, his face turned pale; he thought, who could have done such a foolish thing?

He didn't see that across from him, Lin Rui was slightly lifting the corners of his lips with satisfaction.

Lin Rui, touching the knife disguised as a Flash type 5 at his waist, thought to himself that anyone could play the game of deception.

To eliminate someone like Jin Tianchen, one had to cut the branches before felling the root; it had to be done step by step, without haste.

The first step he had to take was to destroy the beast's public image and sever his financial sources.
