Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

"Spiritual power index 729, physical index 485, True Qi index 524, hiss—"

Half an hour later, Si Malin looked at Lin Rui's test report and couldn't help but gasp.

What top-tier delicacy did this guy eat on Tianji Star? The indices of his body have improved so fast, he's almost surpassing the standards of a capital commandant completely.

And that's without any artificial serum implanted.

At this rate, why would Lin Rui even need to wait half a year? In five to six months, this guy could get the top-grade artificial Golden Core implanted.

Si Malin pulled up Lin Rui's alternate body data.

He discovered that Lin Rui's alternate body's physical condition was much stronger than his original body.

There weren't detailed testing tools for the alternate body side, so it was roughly estimated by the biological chip. In the rank of an officer, the variance is usually around 50 points.

"Bright Divine Blood, indeed, you have awakened the foundational bloodline of the Dazzling Thunder Sacred Body, a super emperor-grade talent—"

Si Malin still felt it was unbelievable how quickly both bodies of Lin Rui were advancing in strength.

Was it because Lin Rui's alternate body's quality was too strong, and under the effect of alternate body assimilation, it caused the original body's power to improve simultaneously?

This little guy is getting more and more interesting, not even slightly less outstanding than his sister.

He looked at Lin Rui lying in the medical pod, "Lin Rui, what implantation equipment are you planning on getting?"

Lin Rui was currently exploring the website of Tianlan Group.

He had previously made a plan, but after taking up the post of vice defense envoy of Wang City, Lin Rui felt he had been too conservative.

The proverb goes, "Three years as a county magistrate earns one hundred thousand taels of snowflakes silver."

The circumstances on Tianji Star were different from ancient China, where magical silver was even more valuable.

The defense envoy of Wang City could stand on par with the local prefectural governor. With such authority, even without exploiting the citizens, earning twenty to thirty thousand taels of magical silver a year would not be a problem.

The salary for Lin Rui's official rank of seventh-grade Martial Virtue Capital Commandant, along with various allowances from his position, also amounted to about two to three thousand taels a year.

In addition, just the dividends promised by Zhuang Mingyue were as high as five thousand taels per year.

Zhuang Mingyue had already promised that as long as he handled things properly, secured a strong foothold in Wang City, and raised his cultivation to the fourth realm of Golden Core, then the position of defense envoy of Wang City would be his.

So he must give it his all to satisfy his superior.

"—'Celestial Armor' Type 5 growth-type subdermal nanotech armor, three sets, one for the original body, one for Ji Xueying, and one for my alternate body needing injection."

That's a total of 6 million federation dollars.

Subdermal nanotech armor involves microrobots that are fused with the user's DNA. Once injected into the body, they settle beneath the skin and remain inactive. In critical moments, they can gather and form an extremely powerful defensive armor under the skin.

Its utility isn't limited to defense—it also helps in wound cleaning, healing, detoxification, and can somewhat enhance the muscle structure, increasing strength and more.

'Celestial Armor' Type 5 corresponds to a fifth realm dragon-transformation Martial Cultivator and is the top model in this tier. A growth-type subdermal nano-armor can even actively absorb etheric metals from the host's body to fortify its structure.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

This nanotechnology is relatively inexpensive, yet very practical, making it a great value for the price.

This kind of implantation equipment might expose his alternate body walker identity, but Lin Rui has already passed the highest level 'Heavenly Demon Test' in the presence of group officials, so naturally, he is undeterred.

Now, he is the most orthodox and genuinely pure resident of Tianji Star! No one could question him, not even Zhuang Mingyue.

"Intermediate 'Blood Core Fury Sun', 800 million federation dollars."

"Intermediate 'Bright Divine Blood', 800 million federation dollars."

"Intermediate 'Light Blood', 80 million federation dollars."

"Intermediate 'Flame Blood', 80 million federation dollars."

"Intermediate 'Thunder Blood', 80 million federation dollars."

"Intermediate 'Divine Authority', 80 million federation dollars."

"Intermediate 'Heavenly Swift', 80 million federation dollars."

Thanks to the membership given by Fang Ranran, Lin Rui was getting these at cost price.

Stay updated through empire

Among these, Thunder Blood, Divine Authority, and Heavenly Swift were already possessed by Lin Rui, but those he had implanted were of the junior version, and their effectiveness would greatly diminish once Lin Rui advanced to the fourth realm of Golden Core.

It felt like a waste of money, and trying to save money by upscaling immediately was the cheapest way, but no matter how, Lin Rui just wanted to get the most improvement for the least money.

He looked at his shopping cart, thought for a moment, and then dragged another set of implantation equipment into it.

"Divine Selection Type 4 spellcasting suit, 200 million federation dollars."

This spellcasting suit wouldn't help Lin Rui's alternate body, which could already perform spells.

However, he thought it would be such a waste not to utilize his strong spellcasting abilities with his original body.

The Divine Selection Type 4 spellcasting suit is suitable up to the rank of major and lieutenant colonel, which was adequate for now.

When he sent a screenshot of his shopping cart to Si Malin, Professor Si Malin couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"SS+ implantation 'Blood Core Fury Sun'? This fits very well with your 'Dazzling Thunder Sacred Body'. If your alternate body can awaken this super emperor-grade bloodline talent, it can make your Sacred Body even stronger in the future. The question is, Lin Rui, do you have that much money, and can you secure such a loan?"

Lin Rui nodded, "I'll pay part of it myself, and take out a loan for the rest. The money should be enough! What do you think, Professor, can you help me with the implantations?"

Actually, when he had come earlier, he had already discussed with Guan Biran about those three vials of seventh-realm super emperor blood.

As long as the blood is verified to be usable, another 900 million federation dollars would be incoming.

These three vials of blood, once refined, could be made into nine imperial grade alternate body growth mediums, currently priced at 100 million each and practically priceless on the market

So Guan Biran was very happy and kept asking where he got it from.

With this money, Lin Rui held nearly 26 million in substantial funds.

However, his expenses were even greater, as he needed to purchase some enhancers for himself, in addition to conducting a DNA sequencing for Ji Xueying, and the investment for configuring the enhancers totaled just over 32 million.

After Lin Rui had the top-tier meridian circuit implanted, he secured a higher loan limit at the bank, amounting to 3 million.

Furthermore, when he joined the Martial Art Club, Fang Ranran also provided him with an interest-free loan guarantee of 5 million.

Because Lin Rui was shy by nature, he had never used these funds, but now he planned to utilize all available resources.

The position of Prefectural Governor of Wang City was a goldmine that Lin Rui had to secure no matter what.

Si Malin couldn't help but blink his eyes, wondering what exactly Lin Rui had done in Heavenly Pole Star? Had he robbed someone's vault?

"There are nine types of auxiliary implant equipments in total."

Si Malin calculated based on Lin Rui's physical examination report, "It shouldn't be a problem, these implants suit you well, you have high spiritual power and strong willpower, you should be able to withstand it, but what's with this Divine Selection 4 spell-suit set, do you want to cultivate both magic and martial arts?"

Si Malin shook his head, "So many operations, at least half a day is needed, once your stuff is delivered I will perform the surgery, I first need to check on Wang Sen's condition, his physical examination has also been completed."

Si Malin reviewed Wang Sen's physical examination report.

"Spiritual power index 389, physical index 315, True Qi index 314, that's a lot of growth! And he hasn't even implanted synthetic serum and he is already at captain level."

This was extremely impressive data! Si Malin felt that Wang Sen's talent could possibly be of the Ten Elites level.

"If I'm not mistaken, his alter body should have also awakened a powerful bloodline power, affecting his original body."

Si Malin hadn't signed a contract to access data on Wang Sen's alter body and could only make a rough judgment through the physical examination report.

But when he saw the message sent by Wang Sen, his face twitched slightly.

Quirky Youngster (Wang Sen): Professor, I want to implant a set of mid-tier 'Xuanwu Divine Blood', not sure if I meet the conditions now?

Si Malin could firmly confirm that these two definitely had robbed someone's vault below.

'Xuanwu Divine Blood' was an S+ tier bloodline implant, with a mid-tier price of 4 million.

He carefully looked at Wang Sen's body data and then frowned.

It was just barely sufficient, 'Xuanwu Divine Blood' was only an auxiliary implant, not a core implant, so the burden on spiritual power was comparatively lesser.

However, this guy was walking on the edge of madness.

Si Malin felt that he had to perform the surgery himself, otherwise this kid was sure to succumb to implant syndrome.

"Oh, right, Professor." Lin Rui remembered Lin Xi waiting outside the examination room, "How's my sister's physical data, any progress these days?"

He wanted to use Lin Xi's physical data to determine if her martial arts training had fallen behind.

Si Malin looked up and through the transparent glass window at Lin Xi out in the family waiting area.

The young girl was staring at him with wide eyes, her eyes containing a mix of anxiety, hope, and pleading.

Did this child not want Lin Rui to know that their DNA had nothing in common, or did she not want her brother to know about her condition?

Si Malin smiled, "Her progress is good, your sister's talent is actually much stronger than yours."

However, Lin Xi's abnormal body data were ingrained in Si Malin's mind.

Just then, Si Malin noticed a message alert on his smart terminal.

"Hold on!"

Si Malin's expression changed slightly, and he quickly walked over to the changing room, projecting a virtual screen in front of him.

With Si Malin's thought, the screen displayed a website filled with a mysterious aura, bearing the 'Longevity Association' LOGO.

Someone had sent him a message through this website.

Grand Priest[Chen Long]: Noon Horse, were you looking for me, what is the matter?

Si Malin's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately responded.

He maintained another username and identity on this website.

Priest[Noon Horse]: Chen Long, I want to know, is it possible for humans to have an extremely high concentration of 'Dragon' essence in their blood without undergoing implantation?

Grand Priest[Chen Long]: Extremely high concentration of 'Dragon' essence? I see, you have made contact with Despair Heavenly Girl and seen her medical report, right?

Si Malin paused slightly when he saw this message.

Despair Heavenly Girl, was he referring to Lin Xi? Was the Longevity Association always monitoring them?

He immediately opened the Longevity Association's data archive to look for information on 'Despair Heavenly Girl'.

However, the website soon popped up a message—Your confidentiality level is insufficient to view all top-secret information related to this entry.

Priest[Noon Horse]: Chen Long, what do you mean by Despair Heavenly Girl?

Grand Priest[Chen Long]: Oh, right, your level isn't yet high enough to view her research materials, let me think.

Grand Priest[Chen Long]: Noon Horse, considering the information about Despair Heavenly Girl has been broadly leaked and you will be often in contact with Despair Heavenly Girl recently, I can make an exception and tell you part of the situation. Noon Horse, you know our creed at the Longevity Association, right?

Priest[Noon Horse]: Of course, it's to achieve immortality! For the Abyss!

Grand Priest[Chen Long]: Mainly the Abyss, until now, our Earth Federation has yet to produce an Abyss! This is the biggest bottleneck for the federation's implant martial arts, and Despair Heavenly Girl was once part of our 'Abyss Program'.
