Chapter 120: Blood Core Frenzy Sun (Subscription Request)
After two slashes and three cuts, Lin Rui halted his actions and thoughtfully looked at the practice blade in his hand.
The SS+ combat gear "Guang Ming Divine Blood," also known as "Blood of Guang Ming," is based on the "Radiant Thunder Sacred Body." It greatly enhances the affinity and utilization efficiency with light, thunder, fire, and all other Guang Ming elements, significantly boosting True Qi strength and physical condition.
According to tests conducted after Lin Rui's surgery, his affinity with the three elemental series had increased by about 33% each.
The utilization efficiency had increased by 24%, True Qi strength by 23%, and physical condition by 21%.
However, the real power of this combat gear lay in speed and response time.
The speed of Lin Rui's three slashes had just increased by nearly 120%!
What does that mean? Previously, Lin Rui could slash at most 15 times per second, but now he could slash 33 times, surpassing the firing rate of many firearms!
This enhancement significantly boosted his combat effectiveness. Opponents who were previously on par with Lin Rui might not react quickly enough to the second slash and get killed by him.
The speed of movements and reaction time had not yet been tested, but the outcome would not be disappointing.
Lin Rui's variant had awakened the "Blood of Guang Ming" eight days ago and had already experienced this innate ability.
The reason Lin Rui was able to withstand that eunuch Zhu in the underground palace was due to his greatly increased blade speed and agility. Stay connected through empire
The problem was that activating the "Guang Ming Divine Blood" consumed too much energy.
Lin Rui had only fought Zhu Tianmao for a dozen seconds, and he had already used up more than half of his True Qi.
Therefore, he exchanged for the SS+ combat gear "Blood Core Fury Sun."
This piece of gear was implanted in his spine and worked like carrying a miniature nuclear battery.
It not only increased the power of light, thunder, and fire among other Guang Ming attributes but also continuously generated Guang Ming energy and ether elements, filling his meridians and blood and providing him with a steady supply of True Qi.
Besides, it could activate its "Fury Sun" mode, doubling the capabilities of the "Blood Core Fury Sun" and enabling Lin Rui's strength and speed to burst to their limits.
Lin Rui believed that the combination of these two combat gears could yield an effect of at least 1+1=5.
Indeed, as Lin Rui had predicted, the "Blood of Guang Ming" and the "Blood Core Fury Sun" astonishingly enhanced his combat power.
"Worthy of being a super Emperor-level combat gear! I really hope my variant can awaken this gift soon, but this level might still be insufficient to handle seven B-ranked combat gears appraised at four realms," he said.
It was unfortunate that his Blood Blade Ji was not present, or else things wouldn't have been so troublesome—he could have just gone straight in for the kill.
"From my feeling, my speed could be faster, the Blood of Guang Ming hasn't reached its limit, and the Blood Core Fury Sun's recovery ability can also be stronger—"
Lin Rui felt that he had not fully utilized the capabilities of these two SS+ auxiliary combat gears.
The issue lay in the Cultivation Techniques and martial arts he was learning; they were either solely focused on light or a combination of thunder and fire, or just the two systems of light and fire.
The key issue was that both his battle spirits had not mastered martial arts skills encompassing all three elemental systems.
Ji Shenyan did have a potent dragon-tier martial art, integrating the powers of thunder, light, and fire, but the current Lin Rui was far from reaching it.
However, Lin Rui's awakening of the "Blood of Guang Ming" over these eight days had not been in vain.
He had thought of a method and was ready to experiment today.
Lin Rui called out to his spirit guardian in his mind.
"Spirit Guardian, is it possible to combine the Thunder Fire Stance, Lesser Yang Stance, and Blood Sun Stance into a new Cultivation Technique? It must match my combat gear and bloodline," he asked.
Note: Integrating a new Grandmaster-level Cultivation Technique "Great Bright Stance" will consume 2000 Soul Power points.
Lin Rui's eyes lit up, thinking that it was indeed possible!
Soul Power points could elevate various Cultivation Techniques to a higher level and naturally could deduce new techniques.
As Lin Rui chose 'Yes,' his thoughts not only began to operate at high speed again but also soared to miraculous heights.
In his mind, numerous thoughts and ideas continuously emerged, with various stances flashing quickly through his mind.
They kept changing, combining, and eventually solidifying.
10 minutes later, Lin Rui, with a headache, rubbed his temples and walked to the fridge in his room, grabbing a functional drink that could replenish his energy and refresh his mind.
This time, not only did he experience a massive flow of information, but the mental exhaustion was also tremendous, so much so that Lin Rui almost fainted.
While drinking, Lin Rui pondered, "Although the Cultivation Technique has been deduced, it completely loses its shape during practice and is virtually unusable; it might be more convenient to just copy it directly.
It seems that I still need to practice diligently. However, it's also good this way; once I master it and form my own muscle memory, it will truly belong to me."
After a brief rest and once fully energized, Lin Rui began the second step of deducing
"Spirit Guardian, I want to use the 'Great Bright Stance' as the base to combine the Thunder Extreme Divine Shine Stance and Yang Ming Stance into a new advanced Cultivation Technique! The conditions are the same as before, matching my combat gear and bloodline," he requested.
Note: Integrating a new Great Grandmaster-level Cultivation Technique 'Ascending Sun Stance' will consume 5000 Soul Power points.
Lin Rui couldn't help but frown, realizing that his Soul Power points were running low.
"Reduce it to Grandmaster level!"
However, even the Grandmaster level required 3,000 Soul Power points.
Lin Rui felt an intense longing for more Soul Power points.
He rested for a while and then started the third deduction.
"Ring Spirit, help me copy the Number 2 Combat Spirit's Great Grandmaster level Can Yang Blade, merge the Can Yang Blade with the Purple Lightning Blade, and based on my bloodline and implant, deduce a new mid-tier Grandmaster level blade technique."
Reminder: Copying the Can Yang Blade (Great Grandmaster) requires 6,000 Soul Power points, blending the new blade technique Grandmaster level "Rising Sun Catastrophe Blade" requires 3,000 Soul Power points.
Lin Rui's face twitched, but he decided to make the exchange.
At this point, his Soul Power points were nearly exhausted, leaving only 2,234 points.
Lin Rui felt a sharp pang of loss in his heart, but as he wielded the blade again in the training room, fatigue weighing on him, his eyes lit up.
His blade speed had increased by about 50%, able to reach nearly fifty strikes per second.
The new pile-driving technique and "Rising Sun Catastrophe Blade" brought out 120% of his implanted device's capabilities.
This was despite his extremely exhausted mind, the unfamiliarity with the "Rising Sun Catastrophe Blade," inadequate circulation of True Qi, and many movements being off-form.
If he were in his prime, having mastered the "Rising Sun Catastrophe Blade" to a state of readiness, how much would his blade technique improve?
Lin Rui thought to himself that it was very good, based on statistics, a Lieutenant Colonel ranked with a B-level implant usually achieves around 30 strikes, spending so much money on implanting two types of supreme royal implants and the Soul Power points used to deduce martial arts was still worth it!
"Ring Spirit, help me elevate the poison concoction skill to Great Grandmaster level!"
Reminder: Elevating poison concoction to Great Grandmaster level requires 2,000 Soul Power points.
This deduction was a bit different from before, triggering a link with the Extreme Star Herbology that Lin Rui had previously studied, he came up with dozens of entirely new poison and medicinal formulas, and also improved the two hundred formulas he already mastered.
Afterwards, Lin Rui threw himself into the sleep chamber, starting the deep sleep mode.
This continuous four-time deduction depleted his mental energy to the extreme, leaving his consciousness completely numb, almost like a walking corpse.
Lin Rui slept through turmoil until a message from his younger sister Lin Xi woke him up.
Lin Xi: "Bro, what are you up to? I've finished cooking. Why haven't you come over yet? Professor Si is already here."
Only then did Lin Rui remember that this morning Lin Xi mentioned she would cook dinner tonight to host Professor Si and several members from the club.
He quickly got up, hurried through his washing, changed into clean clothes, and went to Lin Xi's suite next door.
The dining room in the large suite was bustling, not only was Si Malin there, but Yu Feicui was also present, along with Zhao Yan, Wang Sen, Nolan Wei, and even Lu Fang had the cheek to show up.
Lin Rui immediately smelled the aroma of the food, his appetite surging.
Yu Feicui, sitting at the dining table, turned her head to look at him, eyes showing a strange gleam.
She had already learned from Si Malin that Lin Rui had implanted two types of supreme royal implants, significantly advancing his martial arts.
Yu Feicui wondered curiously, where did this kid get the money?
Originally according to their plan, Lin Rui would systematically advance to the Fourth Realm Golden Core, by which time his bank loan limit could reach 50 million, with Fang Ranran's interest-free loan guarantee, it would be enough to fully enhance Lin Rui's capabilities.
But now, Lin Rui had already implanted two types of supreme royal implants at this stage!
She wanted to probe Wang Sen for information. However, the chubby young man was indeed very clever, keeping tight-lipped and leak-proof, maintaining that it was Lin Rui's personal privacy, and he couldn't disclose it.
In the past, Yu Feicui might have felt a bit annoyed.
But now Wang Sen's overall quality had broken through to the Captain level, and he had also implanted the S+ level Guang Ming Divine Blood! In her eyes, his value was no less than Lu Fang's.
She couldn't pressure Wang Sen to talk.
However, this was indeed good news for the Minde Martial Arts Club.
Yu Feicui initially thought she had only nabbed a big trump card, but what she actually got was a royal flush.
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, a sharp gleam appearing in his eyes, "Lin Rui, Professor Si said your physical qualities have surpassed the Captain level, are you interested in sparring with me?"
He wanted to see if Lin Rui could implant the Golden Core in half a year, could he carry the club's main responsibility?
Appointing Lin Rui as the main team leader in half a year might still be a bit of a stretch, but as long as Lin Rui implants the Golden Core, he could definitely be promoted to Deputy General.
Lin Rui smiled at the words and took a seat at the dining table.
He picked up a pair of chopsticks, "Aren't you just curious about my current level of martial arts, why don't we use these to test a few moves?"
Zhao Yan, unhesitatingly, also picked up a pair of chopsticks, "Alright! Let's test a few moves!"
