Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

```

About 100 meters away from the Ning family ancestral hall to the west of the city stood a tavern. While Lin Rui and his companions battled the Thousand Silk Demon, County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi and the registrar Jiang Hanzhang were sitting leisurely on the top floor of this tavern, casually sipping their wine.

The Capital Commandant Tie Jie Ying Yuan was standing by the window railing, admiring the distant battle.

Not until they saw the Thousand Silk Demon grievously wounded by Lin Rui did the expressions of all three men simultaneously darken, their eyes filled with surprise.

And when the two three-legged mud demons were also slain by Lin Rui and his companions, registrar Jiang Hanzhang, holding his cup of wine, found he could no longer swallow another sip.

"This young man—"

Jiang Hanzhang's eyes showed panic: "Such a fierce sabre technique!"

Not only was the sabre technique fierce, but Lin Rui also demonstrated strength and speed that were quite remarkable, and his affinity with the lightning and fire elements was also startling.

Jiang Hanzhang estimated that this youth's Blood Covenant progress was at least forty percent.

Even if he were to face this Lin Rui now, he couldn't guarantee a sure victory.

The key was the 'Blood Blade Ji', whom the County Magistrate had failed to control successfully, allowing her to go on a rampage and lose control.

This made Jiang Hanzhang's heart flutter with trepidation, feeling as if there were needles on his seat, making it hard for him to sit still.

County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi's face was also as dark as iron: "Ying Yuan, what do you think?"

"Truly fierce!" Tie Jie Ying Yuan, standing by the window railing, frowned: "I thought he was just a pretty face, but it turns out this fellow actually has some talent. His mastery of the Red Thunder Saber aside, he can even use magic skills."

He took down a short halberd from behind and weighed it in his hand: "But I should have no difficulty slaughtering him. The problem is that Blood Blade Ji, I'm no match for her."

Jiang Hanzhang also set down his wine cup, his face pale: "County Magistrate, this cannot go on. In recent days, this youth, along with the Blood Blade Ji, has roamed the city, eradicating nearly one-fifth of the demons we cultivated. Moreover, five of the Fourth Realm have died by their hands! And if that Blood Blade Ji completely loses control, I fear the time of our deaths will come."

Six days have passed, and not only has their combined strength not increased, but it has also weakened compared to before the Zuihua House incident. If not for the Wang City troops from the Imperial City having been utterly annihilated, they would have had to consider giving up their plan.

What Jiang Hanzhang was even more concerned about was the Blood Blade Ji.

He knew some inside information about how terrifying the Blood Blade Ji was.

County Magistrate Zhu Lingshi also narrowed his eyes, setting down his wine cup: "While you worry about the Blood Blade Ji, I'm starting to fear this Lin Rui a bit. Do you not find the rate at which this youth's strength has increased to be simply terrifying?"

He felt a mix of shock and caution inside, suspecting that this youth was very likely a Heavenly Demon from beyond their realm.

This Lin Rui, everything about him seemed suspect.

And who could fathom what the County Magistrate was thinking, for actually promoting him to arrest officer and providing him with so many cultivation resources, even allowing Lin Rui to form a connection with the Blood Blade Ji.

Zhu Lingshi shook his head: "However, registrar, there's no need to worry. I have received a message; my uncle has already arrived at Tianyue County, only a day's journey from here."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hanzhang's spirits lifted.

The County Magistrate's uncle had entered the palace as a youth and now served in the Han King Palace as a sixth-rank eunuch, deeply trusted by Prince Han.

This Eunuch Zhu was precisely the source of their confidence in opposing the County Magistrate.

All their actions here were for the sake of Prince Han.

Crucially, this eunuch also possessed a Fifth Realm cultivation, skilled in both martial arts and magic. His arrival would ensure the situation in Silver Moon County was under control.

At this moment, Zhu Lingshi's expression shifted, taking out his waist badge. He pressed the beast head button and heard a hoarse voice from inside the badge: "My Lord, the County Magistrate has left the city as you anticipated, heading for the Fire Ruins Manor."

Zhu Lingshi clapped his hands on the table with joy upon hearing this: "Good! The cur has finally left the city."

His heart cleared of its uneasiness, a smile returned to his plump face: "Jiang Brother, please make some preparations today. The time has come, we can begin."

As Zhu Lingshi spoke, his eyes once again swept coldly in the direction of the Ning family ancestral hall.

He thought they could not delay any longer. Otherwise, this upstart might just tear down the whole of Silver Moon County, at which point he might not be able to contain the situation.

"Are we starting now?" Jiang Hanzhang frowned slightly, a bit concerned: "Our preparations are still significantly lacking, and that person possesses the 'Demon Suppression Seal' given by the Imperial City. Should the County Magistrate return in time, we may well fail at the last step."

Zhu Lingshi, with hands clasped behind his back, scoffed coldly and unconcernedly: "Rest assured, Blood Rain Miao Shi will restrain the County Magistrate. It's his fault for attracting that person, so he must take responsibility. If the County Magistrate causes us to ruin Prince Han's grand plans, he cannot afford the consequences!"

Meanwhile, outside the Ning family ancestral hall, arrest officer Cao Jun was leading a group of constables, surrounding Lin Rui with flattery and adulation.

"Arrest Officer Lin, I am truly in awe. To slay a Fourth Realm with the strength of a Third Realm, so clean and decisive, you are in a league of your own in the yamen!"

"I was a bit reluctant when you were promoted to arrest officer, but now I see that it was the County Magistrate's wise discernment of talent."

"I've never seen anyone like you, Arrest Officer Lin. In the yamen now, apart from Chief Zhang, you have my utmost respect!"

Lin Rui responded with a smile and polite gestures to each one of the constables. After appeasing the group, he gazed thoughtfully at the corpses of the three Fourth Realm demons.

```

Ji Xueying had already recovered, looking immensely guilt-ridden and somewhat admiring as she fist-palmed and said, "My lord, it was this servant who dragged you down just now, Xueying is very sorry."

"It's alright!"

Lin Rui shook his hand, stopping Ji Xueying's words, "No need for such, haven't you already made it clear to me? Someone managed to circumvent the Blood Covenant, causing you to lose control. I was aware of this before we formed our bond and knew the consequences, so why the need for an apology? We are now in this together, we face difficulties together and there's no need for self-reproach."

He then looked towards Wang Sen, "Twenty-seven, go to the courier station as soon as possible and retrieve my items."

The so-called 'courier station' was their code name for the Exotic Management Bureau's network hub.

Wang Sen, too, was attempting to regulate his breath as he hadn't been injured just now but had to continuously use wind-based True Yuan at a high intensity, so his consumption was enormous.

Upon hearing this, he was startled, "How long has it been? The items shouldn't have arrived yet, right?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Lin Rui had also returned to Base Nine today, arriving half an hour before him.

This guy probably also ordered some items from the Exotic Management Bureau's self-operated shopping mall.

"Tell them to send it express, I don't mind paying an extra delivery fee."

Lin Rui pulled Wang Sen aside and whispered, "The situation is getting a bit dire now. We have killed so many of their Four-Realm beings, I'm afraid they might make a desperate move. I've ordered two Type-2 Exotic Bloodline Strengtheners and two Type-2 Exotic Strengtheners from the Exotic Management Bureau. When they arrive, I'll share one of each with you; we need to enhance our power first."

Wang Sen's lips twitched slightly, thinking that Lin Rui really was a big spender now.

The price of a Type-2 Exotic Bloodline Strengthener and Exotic Strengthener was as high as 500,000 each.

However, a single Type-2 Exotic Bloodline Strengthener would be enough to allow him to condense the 'Iceblood' bloodline in his body.

He then nodded heavily and turned to walk in the direction of the north of the city.

The coffin shop was located at the south city gate, but before heading there, Wang Sen had to disguise himself to ensure no one followed him.

At this moment, Lin Rui was calling to the Battle Spirit Ring in his mind to check his Soul Power points.

Prompt: You have 17,341 points of Soul Power.

This was the result of six days of him and people like Wang Sen killing a total of 54 demons. Unfortunately, some of those kills were stolen by Wang Sen and Blood Blade Ji.

Now, his only regret was that his companions were working too hard.

Lin Rui had originally planned to reserve these Soul Power points for his next Battle Spirit.

But today's battle made him feel a fear of insufficient firepower once again.

Lin Rui, after some contemplation, said, "Battle Spirit, help me deduce Thunderclap Absolute Slash to a Great Grandmaster level!"

After careful consideration, he believed that there was nothing better for increasing his combat power at the moment than 'Thunderclap Absolute Slash,' a move that held an S+ comprehensive rating.

Prompt: Deduction of 'Thunderclap Absolute Slash' to the Great Grandmaster realm will require a total of 4,000 Soul Power points.

Lin Rui frowned, wondering how a mere secret technique could cost so much? How did the Battle Spirit calculate this?

Then another prompt appeared, showing the required Soul Power points for each level increase of Thunderclap Absolute Slash. From Truth to just before Grand Truth only 200 points needed, but over Grand Truth it required 1,000 points.

He hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"Battle Spirit, help me raise Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill to Great Grandmaster!"

Stance skills are foundational for a Martial Artist, and Lin Rui had also discovered that his stance skills were indeed quite effective against demons. Just now, Blood Blade Ji borrowed some of his thunder fire True Yuan to suppress her spirit.

Prompt: Deduction of Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill to the Great Grandmaster realm will need 2,000 Soul Power points.

Lin Rui furrowed his brows and gritted his teeth as he proceeded.

He didn't expect that bringing Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill to the level of Great Grandmaster would cost so much Soul Power.

However, after Lin Rui endured the information explosion in his mind, he felt it was worth it.

The True Qi in his body actually changed, both in strength and volume, and even the yuan cells in his blood that had been converted were slightly altered.

"No, it's because my stance skill has improved, so the utilization rate of True Qi accordingly has also increased. I can now extract even more Qi from both inside my body and blood, and the purity of the True Qi is higher as well. It's unfortunate due to the lack of practice, this change is not very stable—"

At this point, he still had 11,341 points of Soul Power.

Lin Rui, narrowing his eyes, asked, "Battle Spirit, how much Soul Power would I need to raise Thunder Fire Stance Technique, Red Thunder Saber, and Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill to the Great Grandmaster level?"

Prompt: To deduce Thunder Fire Stance Technique to the Great Grandmaster realm, 1,000 Soul Power points are needed; to deduce Red Thunder Saber to the Great Grandmaster realm, 500 Soul Power points are needed; to raise Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill to the Great Grandmaster realm, 2,000 Soul Power points are needed.

Lin Rui, with a lift of his brows, thought that this was perfect, with 7,841 points of Soul Power left for backup. He could use these points to repair the Battle Spirit Ring, or for other contingencies.

Lin Rui then reviewed the stance techniques, escape skills, and saber techniques that had unfolded in his mind. He discovered that the saber techniques and secret moves he possessed had a lot of room for enhancement and could even be elevated to another level.
