Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Ten days later, at Rui Fang Biological Prosthetics Research Institute.

Ji Xueying stood beside Lin Xi in the surgical observation room, looking through the glass at the implantation surgery underway.

Si Malin was implanting the X-grade Dragon Armor 'Emperor's Heavenly Robe' onto Lin Rui.

Previously, Lin Rui's X-grade Golden Core 'Emperor's Clock' had been created by Sky Blue Group's SSS-grade manufacturing team, under the guidance of several academicians from the East Asia Science Academy.

However, this X-grade Dragon Armor surpassed the capabilities of Sky Blue Group, so it was instead fully funded and manually crafted by people from the East Asia Science Academy.

Thus, the project, officially named 'X Divine Origin,' which was initiated for Lin Rui, had been transferred to the Rui Fang Biological Prosthetics Research Institute.

Just yesterday, Lin Rui's physical data finally met the requirements.

The tests showed that Lin Rui's comprehensive physical score was 5200 points, and his comprehensive spiritual score was 5400 points, already reaching the threshold for implanting the X-grade Dragon Armor 'Emperor's Heavenly Robe.'

Ji Xueying's spirit was invigorated, feeling joy on behalf of Lin Rui.

After the implantation of the Armored Dragon Armor, Lin Rui's intrinsic strength would increase significantly, and the growth rate of his Dragon Armor would enter the fast lane.

Ji Xueying herself deeply understood this, having experienced a dramatic increase in the condensation speed of her Dragon Armor after her own implantation, which was now nearing its complete form.

This was the benefit of becoming an Alien Walker; with the dual bodies and the Alien Body Assimilation effect, not only was an Alien Walker's spiritual power stronger than that of ordinary people, but their cultivation speed would also be much faster than that of a typical Martial Artist.

Lin Xi also stood by with her arms crossed, watching intently.

She thought that Lin Rui's advancement speed was incredibly fast. It had been less than a month, hadn't it? Lin Rui's physical quality had been enhanced by at least 1500 points!

Sometimes, Lin Xi really wondered, between her and Lin Rui, who exactly was the Abyss Weapon created by the Longevity Association?

"By the way, Xueying, why haven't I seen you accompanying my brother to court these past few days?"

She was stationed at Chengtian Gate, and Lin Rui had to pass by her when he went to and from the Imperial City.

In the past few days, Lin Rui had only been seen with Shangguan Tianyi and two instructors from the Dragon Guard Capital going to the Imperial City, and Ji Xueying's figure had been absent for several days.

"Didn't your brother implant an SSS+ grade prosthetic on both my Alien and native body three days ago?"

Ji Xueying explained, "Based on the Bloodline Talents in my body, he also created a 6SSS grade Secret Technique for me, which I have been practicing lately. Your brother said I might need to use it soon."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi nodded slightly. She knew that not only had Ji Xueying been implanted with an SSS+ grade prosthetic, which officially brought Ji Xueying's bloodline score to 5SSS+, but also...

Lin Rui had extracted two SSS grade prosthetics from her Alien, as Ji Xueying's spiritual power had greatly increased recently, awakening these two corresponding Bloodline Talents and no longer requiring the prosthetics for support.

The root cause was related to a gift that Linghu Mingde had given to Lin Rui a few days earlier.

It was a box of five Demon Source Bloodstones, originating from the depths of Purgatory, capable of greatly enhancing the spiritual power of demons and Martial Cultivators above the Sixth Realm.

Alas, this stuff was not very useful for them normal folks, it could enhance spiritual power but might lead to mutations in flesh or the risk of Armament Syndrome.

As everyone knows, the gene chains of the demons from Sky Extreme Star are much more stable than those of normal humans.

Thinking about this, Lin Xi felt somewhat jealous. Recently, whenever Lin Rui had time, he would take a moment to guide and teach Ji Xueying in martial arts.

This Blood Saber Lady's progress in Martial Arts had been rapid. According to Fei Yunlai, she already had the standards of a Fifth Realm imperial class, and before her Dragon Transformation, she should be able to reach both Martial Arts and Bloodline beyond that of a Super Monarch, which is 5SSS+, truly unprecedented, even stronger than Shangguan Tianyi.

Lin Rui had never done this for her, his sister, nor had he created any Secret Techniques for her.

Lin Xi reflected on whether she had been too clever in front of her brother.

At that moment, her expression shifted slightly, "An operation is coming up? Did my brother mention what this operation is about?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xueying turned to look at Lin Xi with a hidden complexity in her gaze, then shook her head, "No."

—Even if she knew, she wouldn't say it.

At that time, Lin Rui was examining the detailed data of his X-grade Dragon Armor 'Emperor's Heavenly Robe.'

Si Malin had told him that the East Asia Science Academy would give him a 'surprise.'

Lin Rui never imagined the 'surprise' would be this big.

"X Pseudo Core? Aren't you afraid that I'll lose control?"

"It's a detachable external prosthetic," Si Malin explained with a smile. "You can choose between implantation and external attachment. Actually, there's a lot of debate within our research team, just because your situation is very unusual. The Fake Abyss Essence in your body is increasing inexplicably, as if your Alien inherently had an Abyss Source Core. But how could that be possible? Moreover, you seem relaxed, as if you're under no pressure at all.

Some academicians believe that implanting this device will allow you to effectively control the Source Essence in your body and further reduce the burden on your Primordial Spirit. But there are also objections, arguing that it might backfire. The Source Essence in your body is already thick and its convergence rate with real Abyss Source Essence is getting higher. If it continues to grow, it could drive you insane."

As a result of the unresolved dispute, they decided to make this unique Armament. First, they would attach it externally to see the effects, and if it proved effective, they would then implant it inside. If it didn't work out, it could also be removed in time to cut the losses."

Lin Rui knew the reason for the increasingly concentrated Source Essence in his body.

Not only did he have Source Essence and an Abyss Source Core, but he also had the Abyss Concept—how could his Source Essence not be concentrated?

Moreover, there was Luo Wangshu, continuously helping him with the Refinement Enhancement.

Now Lin Rui's overlap rate with Abyss Source Material had already approached 42%.

Lin Rui had finished reviewing the various data on the X Pseudo Core, as well as the preparation process and the corresponding theories and materials. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Just implant it directly. I'm too lazy for external attachments. Place it behind the eyebrow Bone Armor."

What surprised him was that the DNA sample for this X Pseudo Core was actually derived from the remains of the 'Great Sun Venerable'.

Lin Rui pondered that this was probably for the best.

Under the effect of Alien Body Assimilation, his physical body had been unconsciously attempting to generate an 'Abyss Source Core,' yet it had never been successful.

This situation wasn't good if it continued.

In fact, his Abyss Source Core had been slowly deteriorating for a while because his physical body couldn't generate an Abyss Source Core and was affected by this.

It was only by devouring the Divine Thought of that thing in the Demon Suppression Forest that his Abyss Source Core grew stronger.

Now with this thing, he could truly resolve the hidden danger in this aspect, perfectly corresponding with his Alien Source Core.

Sima Lin was taken aback. He was actually part of the conservative camp in the research group, and he had never imagined Lin Rui would be so aggressive.

"You really aren't afraid of going mad!"

Sima Lin shook his head but still proceeded to implant the Armament in Lin Rui, "Fine, fine. You now have a high level of knowledge in Armament and biology, and you understand your own condition well enough. Just don't take it too far."

Someone who could manually produce the new model Armament 'Iron Heart' certainly couldn't be underestimated in their mastery of Armament and biology.

Sima Lin could never understand how Lin Rui, who knew nothing when learning from him six months ago, now had a knowledge reserve in various fields that surpassed even the senior researchers in the institute!

He could even produce Armament himself!

"Oh? Your co-shareholder at Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals mentioned they would be coming to inspect our place sometime soon."

As Sima Lin operated the robotic arm holding the scalpel, he made an incision in Lin Rui's forehead, "It must be to review our two projects."

"Fang Ranran?" Lin Rui laughed, "She hasn't been here before?"

Sima Lin shook his head, "Never been here, but the parent company has been very supportive of our institute in all aspects. She even dug up some people for us, based on the requirements from me and Xie Qing, but she herself has never visited."

"If she comes, just let her look around."

Lin Rui thought that with the busy schedule of the current Fang Ranran, it was not at all strange for her not to have the time to visit the institute.

Meanwhile, he let Sima Lin fiddle with the incision on his forehead while he started to read through recent news.

He seemed to feel no pain at all as he quickly scrolled through various news channels.

Lin Rui was mainly focused on the corporate war between Linghu and Jinhao Real Estate Group.

Judging from recent news, the intensity of their strife was escalating, with less and less constraint.

The Jinhao Group had recently suffered over 2000 casualties among their Alien Walkers, and in addition, nine cargo starships and a dozen properties were destroyed.

The Tianhu Cargo Company and Tianhu Alien Company of the Linghu Family also suffered heavy losses.

They lost seven starships and one of their small cargo docks was destroyed, though the casualty number of their Alien Walkers was relatively lower, only 400.

"This is truly a sly old fox—"

Combining the internal situation from the Security Bureau with these news reports, Lin Rui deduced that Jin Bolong had been seeking a decisive battle.

It seemed that the war that had lasted for several months had become unbearable for the Jin Family.

Jin Bolong had been using all sorts of methods to force Linghu Mingde into direct confrontation.

Linghu Mingde, on the other hand, appeared cautious and patient, seeming to hesitate but actually manipulating the situation, using Jin Bolong's eagerness for a decisive battle to lead the enemy towards the battlefield he had prearranged.

Just as Lin Rui shook his head in contemplation and turned his attention to the elections, he received a message from Xue Lingxue.

White Summer (Xue Lingxue): BOSS, we found her.

Lin Rui's eyes instantly sharpened with a trace of chill.
