Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Shangguan Tianyi's transformation into a dragon was completed at the third watch of the third day, and when the people saw her towering six-zhang-seven dragon body adorned with purple-gold patterns, they were all momentarily speechless. "A sixth-order emperor realm, the unparalleled Sword Spirit Dragon!" Fei Yunlai watched as Shangguan Tianyi controlled her battle dragon and settled himself into the pilot cabin of the escort spacecraft, feeling somewhat sour. Where had his BOSS found such a sword Dao genius? Not only had she achieved the sixth emperor realm, but she was also the unparalleled Sword Spirit Dragon! Fei Yunlai had just checked the battle dragon chart, and this type of battle dragon was extremely unique, awakening only when both martial arts and bloodline talents reached the emperor realm level. What was terrifying was that this battle dragon had just been born and seemed to already show signs of awakened intelligence. This could be seen from the way Shangguan Tianyi controlled it, clearly much more relaxed than him and Gong Hengdao, who had to attend to every detail. As is well known, the stronger a Martial Cultivator's spiritual power and martial intent, the higher the likelihood of the battle dragon awakening intelligence. Lin Rui was reminiscing about Shangguan Tianyi's dragon transformation process. When he went to see it, the main body of Shangguan Tianyi had already formed, covered with flesh beyond the bone armor, and was growing limbs. Although Lin Rui had only seen the latter part, he still benefited greatly. "Is this the dragon transformation?" Lin Rui smiled slightly, turning his head to Ji Xueying, "What do you think? Do you feel confident?" Ji Xueying had entered the fifth realm two months earlier than he had, and Lin Rui had provided her with the best medicines, now her dragon armor had covered more than half of her body. Her alternate body had already been implanted with a complete SSS+ reproductive dragon armor! This made Ji Xueying's own body's dragon armor coverage and strengthening speed also rapidly enhance under the 'alternate body assimilation effect'. "I think I can!" Ji Xueying replied without hesitation, "But my martial arts still fall short; to achieve the best battle dragon, I still need to continue strengthening in this area." Ji Xueying believed that her battle dragon could not be inferior to Shangguan Tianyi's. Hearing this, Lin Rui laughed, his protective demon on the surface appeared gentle, but inside, he also had a proud and competitive spirit. Late that night, Lin Rui still returned to Luo Jing City aboard the escort spacecraft. To avoid being detected, they parachuted to the ground three thousand miles outside of Luo Jing City and then used a secret passage to return to Luo Jing. This passage was actually Luo Jing City's developed drainage system, Wang Sen and his Ice Blood Demon had dug a tunnel 70 meters deep, connecting it to a nearby sewer, and then Lin Rui personally used an extremely sophisticated array to conceal the tunnel and its entrances. After escorting Lin Rui back to his mansion, Gong Hengdao and Fei Yunlai left. They would remain on standby outside Luo Jing City and also choose a location nearby to build another secret base. After returning to his mansion, Lin Rui was somewhat surprised, as during the two days of his rest, no one had come looking for him, and none of his subordinates from the Assassination Bureau had disturbed him. He had been worried earlier that, taking two days off under the guise of rest might lead to an emergency that could blow his cover. So Lin Rui had prepared a plan in case he was discovered: he would use the excuse of investigating a case, needing to conceal his whereabouts. Then, from the security bureau's database, he'd dredge up some illegal Heavenly Demons, which would suffice to handle the situation. Although those were his fellow tribesmen, the deeds of these fellows were inhumane, allowing Lin Rui to feel completely justified in arresting them and having them beheaded in prison. Upon his return, however, he found everything calm. During a communication with his senior brother Li Li, the reason came to light: "Little brother, haven't you considered your current deterrence? In today's Luo Jing City, who dares to cause trouble under your watch? You even killed the ninth candidate Divine Envoy, do others want to die? Don't you know that the Federal Security Bureau has already issued four warning notes for you?" Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): "You should visit those alternate forums and see what they're discussing. They're all saying to avoid entering Luo Jing recently if possible, and even if it's necessary, they need to keep their heads down. Do you know what they're calling you? Some call you Jade-faced Shura, some call you the King of Hell's Blade, others call you Lin Beheading, Lin Full-on." Cold Light Bamboo Shadow (Li Li): "Look at the Divine Prison Office, it was already overcrowded, but after Qi Wuji's case, it filled up the jails of the capital governor and the Ministry of Justice as well, and they had to stuff some people into the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower. Now, not only the extraterrestrial walkers but even the native dwellers of Heavenly Extreme Star are afraid, fearing they'll run afoul of you." Lin Rui felt at a loss for words, thinking, what kind of messy nicknames are these? However, not having any emergencies was always a good thing. The next morning, Lin Rui sent his avatar to the Espionage Bureau for work, while his consciousness returned to his own body. After stepping out of the sleep pod, he headed towards the club's outdoor activity area, planning to practice the Sword Dao and to stream it live. However, Lin Rui had not yet descended from the elevator when he slightly stirred, furrowing his brow because he sensed that something unusual was happening outside. When Lin Rui stepped out of the elevator, he indeed found over a hundred soldiers in exoskeleton armor, fully armed, standing outside. They stood against the walls surrounding the activity area, their aura cold and deadly. In the center were seven military officers in growth suits, three lieutenant generals, three major generals, and one more, wearing a general's uniform, his face stern and his demeanor imposing, speaking with Yu Feicui. Lin Rui heard Yu Feicui's resolute and icy voice carry over, "I've already told you, Fei Yunlai resigned from our Martial Club ten days ago, and we don't know where he went! Moreover, you are neither from the Federal Security Bureau nor the police, and you don't have a government-issued search warrant. I hope you realize what you are doing. This is Mingde University, a university under the Sky Blue Corporation, private property! If you dare to make any excessive moves without the school's permission, we have the right to defend ourselves!" At that moment, over twenty defense turrets within the activity area opened simultaneously, revealing triple-barreled high-speed electromagnetic kinetic cannons. The club also had even more combat robots that assumed a defensive posture, all opening their gun ports. Outside, there was also the roaring sound of engines, and looking out from the club's windows, one could see a large group of armored fire support vehicles and combat mechas flying towards them. They were the school's security forces, hovering outside the building, all turning on powerful spotlights to shine inside the club. Listening to what Yu Feicui had said, Lin Rui knew that Fei Yunlai's trouble had come. The four-star marshal was ready to make a move against Fei Yunlai. Lin Rui did not go over but stood at a distance, an onlooker with an indifferent demeanor. Just then, Lin Rui received a friend request, and it was from "Wang Tianwu"! Lin Rui was quite surprised. He had previously intended to add "Wang Tianwu" as a friend, but that was with the help of hacking techniques from Heart of Light No. 9, using anonymity. Could it be that there was progress on Fei Yunlai's end? That didn't seem right either. The method they had agreed on was to first not reveal Lin Rui's identity. They planned to take Wang Tianwu on a few hacking activities on Tianji Star or deal a few killings for children's songs, get him into the scheme, and submit a declaration of allegiance before letting Wang Tianwu know the employer's identity. Or had Wang Tianwu somehow discovered his true identity? After a brief moment of thought, Lin Rui still accepted the friend request. Powerful Horse King (Wang Tianwu): Hello Mr. Lin, I saw your recruitment information online and I'm very interested. However, my current realm is Level 8, my bloodline rating is SS, but with enough resources, it can be strengthened to SS+. Powerful Horse King (Wang Tianwu): Technique rating SS+, Illusion Technique rating SSS, Array rating SS, so surely you need to adjust the salary and benefits, as well as the service duration. Mr. Lin, if you're interested in me, we can meet to discuss. Lin Rui was somewhat taken aback by this message. After some thought, he took a screenshot of Wang Tianwu's message and sent it to Fei Yunlai. At this time, Fei Yunlai was in their newly partially completed secret base, casually sipping tea with a relaxed expression. When he saw Lin Rui's message, he immediately spit out all the tea in his mouth. Fei Yunlai's eyes were incredulous. He had seen Lin Rui's recruitment announcement, considering that he and people like Gong Hengdao couldn't directly appear to guard Lin Rui, so Lin Rui still had to recruit a respectable Seventh Realm expert as a bodyguard. Honestly, the offer was quite good, better than those large corporations. However, high-level Martial Cultivators who retained their freedom were extremely rare, and given the long contract duration required by Lin Rui, he guessed not many were interested. Fei Yunlai had never expected Wang Tianwu to be interested in Lin Rui's recruitment! Hadn't they agreed initially to escape the life of servitude, to take charge of their destinies, no longer to be bled dry by the capitalists? Why would he agree to such a long contract duration? What about the contract he signed with Lin Rui? That contract not only required Fei Yunlai to 'persuade' Wang Tianwu to join, but it also explicitly stipulated he should play a major role in the recruitment process. Fei Yunlai felt betrayed by a good brother, deeply stabbed in the back by Wang Tianwu. Thinking of the word 'lifetime' in his own contract, he suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.
