Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

``` "Is this the so-called X-element injection?" Luo Wangshu, brimming with excitement, took a crimson syringe from the bag and scrutinized it closely. Among the many medications brought by Lin Rui, this was the one she valued most. Luo Wangshu looked at Lin Rui, "Can I inject it directly?" Lin Rui shook his head vigorously like the beating of a drum, "I haven't used it, but these injections come with an instruction manual." He had indeed never used such high-level injections; the X-element in Lin Rui's body was originally implanted via a man-made Golden Core. Luo Wangshu immediately took out the instruction manual and glanced at it. Unable to understand the language of the Earth Federation, fortunately, the East Asian side had taken this into account, and the manual was illustrated. She could understand it just by looking at the pictures. Without hesitation, she first took out the Type 8 mental repair fluid, ready to inject it into herself. "Master!" Lin Rui's eyes showed a hint of concern, "The channel I contacted should be reliable and sincere. They provided double the medications to give us a trial. Maybe Master could let someone else try—" "No need!" Lou Wangshu directly injected the mental repair fluid into her body, "Neither you nor I have a way to verify the medications. If there is indeed a problem with your channel, there's no way for us to avoid it. Once we validate this one, can we ensure the other won't be problematic? Moreover, these Heavenly Demon's regulated experimental products can't possibly provide double portions every time, so rather than thinking about precautions, isn't it better to bind them with interest, hmm?" She let out a surprised exclamation, her spirit shook tremendously, "The standard of these Heavenly Demons in medicine is indeed formidable!" The spiritual trauma that she had caused by forcefully using 'Heavenly Principle Divine Heart' had mostly recovered in just a brief moment. Luo Wangshu then proceeded to inject herself with the alien enhancement agent and the X-element injection, in order. The effect of the Type 8 alien enhancement agent, in particular, left her astounded. Luo Wangshu felt the deep layers of her flesh and blood undergoing some intense and imperceptible change; they were even continuously disintegrating and reconstructing. Luo Wangshu had no choice but to sit still for nearly an hour. An hour later, Luo Wangshu found that everything inside her body had become more perfect. The Type 8 alien gene enhancer had optimized everything inside her. Her flesh was still the same flesh, her bones were still the same bones, yet now her body was producing more True Qi, her physical strength, speed, and reaction time had increased by at least twelve percent! At the same time, Luo Wangshu's mastered methods of pushing limits and enhancement also had a higher ceiling for progress. This was only Type 8; what about the top-tier Type 9? Her eyes gleamed as she felt her own body, "So this is what they call gene enhancement? It's about optimizing and reorganizing certain structures in our bloodlines to achieve a stronger body and power. This is fascinating, different from the elixirs we usually use." It was also different from the enhancement and limit-pushing methods that Luo Wangshu mastered. Luo Wangshu considered that when she had time, she might delve into the 'biological science' of the Heavenly Demons; it could be a direction for her cultivation. Lin Rui nodded, "The Heavenly Demons' claim is that they strengthen certain structures in our gene chains, making them more robust and powerful. That's why the first injection of the gene enhancer has the most significant effect. They also said if you want to increase your strength quickly, Master, you should still undergo genetic sequencing, and have a 'gene completion potion' made especially for you. Based on their past experiences, they estimated it could increase your strength by about fifty to ninety percent." "Fifty percent?" Luo Wangshu narrowed her eyes, then chuckled wryly, "I understand. You can check the situation for me. If they are indeed reliable, then we might as well give it a try." Luo Wangshu injected the last syringe of X-element into her body and sighed, "The Sovereign and the First Divine Envoy must have started collaborating with certain Heavenly Demons a long time ago. I wonder just how much they've enhanced their bodies by now?" Lin Rui fell into silence upon hearing this. ``` The Earth Federation's biotechnology was truly impressive. Lin Rui, lacking relevant information, didn't know to what extent the major biotech corporations and scientific institutions had researched the bodies of the Tianji Star people. He was even more clueless about what kind of cooperation the Son of Heaven and the First Divine Envoy had with the Federation, so he couldn't assess the true strength of these two. However, with centuries of accumulation, the physical constitution and bloodline powers of these two were certainly frighteningly strong. Luo Wangshu continued to intently sense and experience. This X-element injection was just a little bit inferior, with a compatibility with the true abyssal essence of less than 3%, nowhere near comparable to the abyssal essence within Lin Rui's body. But Luo Wangshu was already very satisfied. This 3% pseudo-abyssal essence was enough to significantly enhance her capabilities in all aspects. Luo Wangshu then picked up the external pill 'Red Jade' and, while playing with it, asked, "What about those Heavenly Demon cybernetic implants? Have you sounded them out yet?" "I have probed." Lin Rui frowned deeply. "They are extremely secretive about it, giving no straight answers, but they didn't refuse either. They said it would depend on future cooperation, but—" Lin Rui's voice trailed off, his eyes hesitant. Hearing this, Luo Wangshu raised an eyebrow: "Why the hesitation? If you have something to say, just say it!" Lin Rui smiled wryly: "The contact I reached out to, aside from his deep connections with the Heavenly Demon in East Asia, also has significant power himself. He can obtain some powerful cybernetic implants from the Heavenly Demon homeland's black market. He definitely can't get his hands on the top regulated ones, but common ones of the super emperor and emperor tiers shouldn't be a problem. He can also find you a highly skilled cybernetic implant surgeon. The problem now is, even if he brings the implants, Master, can you trust them to be implanted into you?" Luo Wangshu furrowed her brows deeply. Of course, she didn't trust them. Luo Wangshu dared to inject the serums because she could react in real-time while conscious. If there was an issue with the drug, she could sense it immediately and deal with the substance in her body. But if she were unconscious and subject to surgery, wouldn't she be at the mercy of others? Luo Wangshu pondered this as she stood up, holding a tube arm-thick with Type-8 War Dragon gene repair liquid, and walked towards her War Dragon, the 'Divine Only-Me Dragon'. Luo Wangshu injected the substance into her 'Divine Only-Me Dragon,' and spoke with a slight smile: "No rush on this matter; let's wait until little Hao Hao's cultivation reaches the eighth realm." Luo Wangshu didn't trust those Heavenly Demons or anyone else for that matter, but she did trust Lin Hao. However, the current Lin Hao was still too weak. Until his wings were fully developed, he couldn't command respect or control situations. She wasn't as urgent as before either. After this enhancement, Luo Wangshu could now fully utilize 'Heavenly Principle Divine Heart Sword.' The flaw Qi Wuji mentioned had been remedied. Luo Wangshu then turned to look at Lin Rui's pale, bloodless face: "Little Hao Hao, have you been with the counter-espionage bureau these past few days? You must have been awake for seven or eight days straight, haven't you?" Lin Rui thought to himself that his master had finally noticed his 'fatigued' state, and his contrived appearance hadn't been in vain. However, Lin Rui's expression remained indifferent: "Master has also been busy these days, tirelessly working. In this day and age, with Heavenly Demons rampant and evil entities prowling, how can your disciple slack off?" In reality, he wasn't that exhausted. Most of his official duties were handled by the artificial intelligence assistant system. Lin Rui's true self was at Base City Number Nine, sleeping when he needed to sleep, drinking when he wanted to drink, and practicing when he needed to practice. "There are thousands, if not millions, of demons in the world; they can't be exterminated in a short time. Besides, can you compare with your teacher? With my ninth realm cultivation, I'm not far from achieving tenth realm longevity. You're just shedding your dragon form. Your fontanel has only just closed, and according to those Heavenly Demons, your body hasn't even fully developed. Don't wear yourself out. Since you took office, you haven't had a proper rest." Luo Wangshu didn't know Lin Rui's thoughts. She patted his arm affectionately, her voice leaving no room for argument. "Listen to me, go rest and bathe for a couple of days. Leave everything else aside and rest well. The counter-espionage bureau won't stop functioning without its commander. Remember, Hao Hao, we Martial Cultivators should still focus on strengthening ourselves. External influences are certainly useful, but we can't rely on them excessively and lose sight of what's important." She was hinting to Lin Rui to take it easy at the counter-espionage bureau, to just be satisfactory in his divine duties. If her disciple wanted to go further, he would still need to spend more time on his cultivation. Lin Rui was waiting for just such words. That night, he followed his master's orders, rested, and returned home, then took the underground passage discovered by Xue Lingxue and Wang Sen to leave the city. He took a starship back to Wang City County, tens of thousands of miles away. He planned to use these two days of rest to deal with some backlog of cybernetic implant surgeries. Fei Yunlai was extremely excited, waiting early at the base entrance. He had long anticipated this day.
