Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Lin Rui looked at the message and marveled, "Linghu Mingde is already 760 years old?"

Indeed, Linghu Mingde was a First Generation Alien Walker, active on Sky Extreme Star over 700 years ago.

It seemed that his maternal grandfather, Fang Ranran, truly possessed extraordinary talent.

Up until now, the Earth Federation's Armament technology had undergone 14 iterations.

Almost every fifty to sixty years, each iteration brought earth-shattering changes.

Initially, Armored Martial Cultivators hardly reached the Eighth Realm, but now there was even hope of reaching Longevity.

As a First Generation Alien Walker, despite being from later stages of the first generation, one could imagine the quality of the Armaments back then.

For him to cultivate to the Eighth Realm using that bug-ridden Armament and to still be alive was quite remarkable.

However, what did Linghu Mingde want to see him for? Lin Rui had no connection with Linghu Mingde.

Rain Falling Heart Dust (Fang Ranran): Don't worry, this time my grandfather isn't planning anything big, so it's just a small private dinner at the Linghu family's estate. You can come after 8 PM, it won't take up much of your time.

Fang Ranran knew this guy was extremely busy—even during the winter break, he was still practicing Martial Arts, managing companies, etc.

Lin Rui also needed to record videos and live stream, but his videos were increasing while his streaming frequency dramatically decreased.

According to Fang Ranran, Lin Rui's video-on-demand revenue from the previous week had already begun to surpass his live-selling income.

This was due to Lin Rui's Martial Arts tutorial video's reputation exploding further, with many novice martial arts students starting their training by watching his videos.

Lin Rui's videos were not only content-rich but also explained very precisely, making them easy to understand.

As long as the beginners followed the methods and steps outlined in his videos, the effects were immediately noticeable.

Thus, many parents were also willing to subscribe to Lin Rui's videos for their children.

However, Lin Rui's live-selling revenue never decreased. After reducing the frequency of his live sales, his sales revenue unexpectedly continued to increase.

Sky Blue Group's diverse Armaments were also experiencing a massive surge in sales across the board, which was no longer just live-selling, but rather the effect of a 'top-level endorsement.'

It was astonishing that under such a busy schedule, Lin Rui had managed to pass the Degree Committee's assessment and obtained two bachelor's degrees.

This made her uncle, Fang Kongfang, very nervous, fearing that Lin Rui would take this chance to graduate, opting to pay the breach of contract fee.

Fang Ranran felt deeply moved.

She guessed that Lin Rui's reluctance to graduate hastily, allowing Sky Blue Group to continue profiting from him, stemmed from a desire to do things thoroughly right, aiming to help her claim the University Martial Arts League championship this year.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Senior sister, I have no problem.

Lin Rui was indeed quite busy; if it took too much time, he really wouldn't want to go.

It wasn't just Lin Rui who was busy; the Commander and the Thunder Admiral were also quite occupied.

Fortunately, his close friends were very supportive, taking on most of his responsibilities.

After Wang Sen's Cultivation caught up, he had even donned the Six Realm Super Emperor Dragon Armor Lin Rui bought for him, collaborating with Li Li to handle the bulk of the affairs within the Spy Detection Bureau—those that were particularly tricky and cumbersome and did not require Lin Rui's personal involvement.

Wang Sen was now very composed as he had joined Lin Rui's Alien Workshop and signed a high-paying contract.

Since his life was in the other's hands, there was no need for further courtesies.

Wang Sen knew he had to stand firm to help Lin Rui share more pressure.

His Rui Ge needed someone capable of being a stand-alone General, and Wang Sen was always striving in that direction.

At the Security Bureau, Xue Lingxue and Zhang Long no longer needed Lin Rui to worry about them.

Zhou Yunfei still had some insight, he was quite good at picking people, Xue Lingxue's ability in advisory strategizing was outstanding, while Zhang Long's execution abilities were top-notch, the two working together could handle the affairs of both centers thoroughly and neatly.

Even if problems occurred occasionally, Zhou Yunfei would also take care of them.

With the help of Heart of Light No. 9, the ship transport company was also well-organized, assembling ships quickly, and currently possessed four Guardian Battleships and four civilian armed transport starships.

—It must be mentioned that of these four ships, only two were assembled by themselves, and the other two were old ships retired from East Asia.

Sky Blue Alien Company had also initially stabilized.

The professional contracts of those Alien Walkers fell into Lin Rui's hands, even if they had some ideas, they couldn't escape for the time being.

After seeing the company being acquired, the internal management and various resource supplies all caught up, and their minds gradually settled down.

Two days ago, they even organized the first trade mission to Sky Extreme Star, but this time they were unlucky, encountering several pirate starships on the way.

However, they didn't give these pirates a chance, and there were no casualties.

In the skirmishes, they even sunk one of the pirates' guardian battleships, successfully repelling this group of pirates and managing to bring various goods to Sky Extreme Star and transport the various materials required by Rui Fang Medicine back to Ninth Base City, ensuring the raw material supply for Rui Fang Medicine.

This time, the Sky Blue Alien Company and Lin Rui Studio responsible for escorting performed quite well.

Gong Hengdao and Fei Yunlai, who were in charge of accompanying command, also performed notably well.

Gong Hengdao was alright; he was a retired soldier who had served as a company commander in the military.

The guardian battleship that was sunk was personally led by Fei Yunlai, infiltrating the enemy ship with three 6S special combat teams and capturing it swiftly, with only four people injured.

Lin Rui never expected old Fei to actually have command talent, achieving a very impressive casualty ratio with comparable forces.

After this battle, Fei Yunlai reported that the morale within the Alien Company had become stable.

These company employees clearly felt that their new employer, whether in terms of financial power or high-level combat capabilities, possessed profound foundations.

Because everything was running quite smoothly, Lin Rui was able to spend nearly half of his time and energy on his Martial Arts cultivation.

He also made extensive time to research and configure medicine for Lin Xi.

After coming out of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, Lin Rui couldn't wait to use his newly acquired soul power points to slightly deduce and verify his speculation, promptly calling Lin Xi to the secret base under his own villa to examine her body.

While checking, Lin Rui asked, "I heard you've been stationed at Chengtian Gate recently, scrutinizing Duke An's line and those imperial relatives quite severely?"

Lin Xi, lying on the operating table, half-squinted her eyes, "It's been a thorough investigation. I discovered that Duke An and his sister, the Noble Consort Jing, are the ones behind Burning Saber Sect, the real enemies of the Zhou family.

Since I assumed Zhou Yunxi's identity, when I see him, I can't just not react; it's best to help their family take revenge. There's also the Emperor; he's also part of those responsible for the downfall of the Zhou family, but currently, I can't really do anything but enforce strict checks, not allowing any smuggling."

She paused, "Brother, you really should temper your edge, stay calm, have I made things difficult for you?"

"There's nothing difficult," Lin Rui chuckled, "I feel like you're not trying hard enough. Take advantage of this time period to intensify your efforts, ideally, to compel the Emperor to make a deal with me, having you reassigned from your current duty."

Lin Xi looked up in surprise, "Is that possible?"

"Why wouldn't it be?"

Lin Rui pressed Lin Xi's head back down: "You see, this is exactly why you end up making such foolish mistakes, because you don't think things through. Since you, due to your identity, must rigorously investigate, having offended those imperial relatives and princes, then you should think of a way to turn a disadvantage into an advantage.

Now, the Emperor won't take action against you; he won't sour relations with me unless absolutely necessary, but once my high-profile phase passes, it might not be so certain. Aren't you using your brother's presence now to quickly get reassigned from your position as Commander of Chengtian Gate, waiting for others to plot against you and make moves?"

Lin Xi furrowed her brows upon hearing this, then relaxed them again.

She thought indeed, the elder is craftier. Her brother managing to reach this position in such a short time truly made sense.

Lin Xi also silently acknowledged, her brother had even mixed up to the level of being able to make deals with the Emperor.
