Chapter 69 Lieutenant General of the Breeding Corps (Request for Monthly Tickets)
Lin Rui returned to Mingde University around 10 PM.
He had planned to sneak in quietly, trying not to disturb anyone, but when he got back, he found not only were the lights of the Martial Cultivator Club ablaze, but all its members were gathered in the outdoor activity area as well.
Lu Fang and Nolan Wei were doing strength training in a corner, while Wang Sen and Zhao Yan each occupied a platform, practicing martial arts on them.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Even Lin Xi was there.
She had previously stayed in her rest room, busy with something on her Tianyan Model 9.
Lin Rui had even delivered dinner to her that evening.
Now, Lin Xi was standing under Wang Sen's platform, watching him practice martial arts.
Lin Rui was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with these people. Why were they lifting weights in the activity area in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Did they have too much energy to burn off?
After exchanging greetings with Zhao Yan and Nolan Wei, he noticed that both seemed somewhat distracted, both excited and tense, as if they were waiting for something.
Lin Rui walked over to Lin Xi and asked curiously, "Lin Xi, how come you decided to come out? What's going on today?"
"Didn't you see the message from Sister Yu in the group?" Lin Xi looked back at Lin Rui with a puzzled expression, "She will bring a colonel named Fei Yunlai later to visit our Martial Cultivator Club. He will also give us some guidance on martial arts, so we are waiting here."
Lin Rui hurriedly opened the group chat and saw that it was indeed the case.
Earlier, he had been focused on fighting, had disabled message notifications, and had been busy analyzing the skills he had copied on the road, hence he missed the message in the group.
A colonel in armor, huh? That's equivalent to a Martial Cultivator at the 'Divine Skills' phase of the seventh realm in Tianji Star, nearly at the pinnacle of armoured martial arts, no wonder Zhao Yan and the others had such expressions.
Lin Rui then searched the internet for information about Fei Yunlai and found that he is actually an exogenous practitioner who had been conscripted by the military and granted the rank of reserve colonel.
At that moment, Lin Xi was again looking toward the platform above, her expression thoughtful. "I didn't expect Brother Sen's martial arts to be so remarkable."
Initially, based on what Lin Rui had told her about Wang Sen, she had thought of Wang Sen only as a little follower around Lin Rui, but she had not expected Wang Sen's strength to be so formidable.
Lin Rui followed her gaze.
In the activity area, only Wang Sen was practicing martial arts with complete concentration.
Lin Rui watched for a while, then nodded and said, "Wang Sen's aptitude is indeed very strong. In the exogenous combat assessment this time, he ranked 213th."
Just this afternoon, Yu Feicui spared no expense to specially invite a colonel-level gold-medal martial arts coach for Wang Sen, to teach him Ice Wind Sword, Ice Wind Palm, and Wind Chi Pillar.
Yu Feicui valued Wang Sen highly. She believed that Wang Sen, even without any prestigious master's guidance, could reach his current level in the Ice Wind martial arts solely by mimicking unreliable videos on the internet, which truly shows his great talent and comprehension.
He may not match the elite ten of his batch, yet he certainly stands above many others!
Wang Sen's foundation in martial arts was also very solid. As long as he could grasp the true essence of the three martial arts and correct some past bad habits and errors, supplementing his weaknesses and shortcomings, he could take his abilities to a much higher level.
It was said that a total of ten lessons were arranged for him, spread over two days.
Unexpectedly, in just one day, Wang Sen's prowess in Ice Wind Sword had already improved to a new level, close to perfection!
At that moment, Lin Xi's nose slightly wrinkled.
She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she felt a faint, almost imperceptible scent of blood on Lin Rui.
Lin Xi looked perplexed. What had Lin Rui been out doing just now?
Lin Xi thought that she would later need to find a way to check it out when she had some time to spare, just as her Tianyan Nine Types had been equipped with various necessary hacking software.
While the siblings were talking, Nolan Wei, who was tilting his head curiously, asked Lu Fang, "Lu Fang, didn't you say you wanted to challenge Lin Rui to see what he's made of? He's right over there, why aren't you going?"
He was quite looking forward to this battle, but Lu Fang had remained quiet and did not make a move.
Upon hearing this, Lu Fang glared deeply at Nolan Wei, "None of your business!"
He had already challenged him, and the result was a disastrous defeat, not even lasting two moves.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to proclaim this to everyone.
Lu Fang turned his head sideways, his gaze complex as he stealthily glanced at Lin Rui, then he suddenly gritted his teeth and added 50 kilograms to his bench press machine.
In no more than a month, he would try to challenge Lin Rui again to regain his dignity. Before that, he needed to enhance all aspects of his capabilities and physical fitness to the extreme.
Seeing this, Nolan Wei couldn't help being puzzled. Was Lu Fang crazy? Those suddenly added weights on the bench press, isn't he afraid of injuring his muscles and bones?
Meanwhile, Lin Rui took advantage of General Xue's absence and went with his sister to the indoor activity area.
He wanted Lin Xi's help to use various testing instruments in the Martial Arts Club to measure his various physical qualities.
After the tests were completed, Lin Xi immediately gasped, "Spiritual power index 589, physical index 375, True Qi index 404—"
Lin Rui's physical qualities were now higher than many captain-rank Martial Cultivators!
Especially the True Qi, which had already broken through 400 points.
No wonder yesterday on the expressway, he found it as easy as slicing melons and chopping vegetables to slay those captain-ranked Martial Cultivators.
Lin Rui was also secretly amazed. He was worried that people like Yu Feicui and Professor Sima would be frightened, so he decisively deleted this data after the tests.
These figures were indeed frightening. Compared to yesterday's comprehensive testing, all his physical attributes had increased by over 30 points.
The values that Lin Xi detected might not be as precise as those of Professor Sima, but they wouldn't be far off.
Lin Rui was concerned that if this medical data were to leak, there might be a risk that Professor Sima would want to take his samples.
Therefore, he couldn't undergo any more physical tests in the next few days. He must take it slow, and by then he could use the "Heterogenous Assimilation Effect" as an excuse.
After the tests, Yu Feicui and General Fei were still not seen, so Lin Rui opened several news websites to check.
To his surprise, not only did the major news websites not have any reports on "Fabric Nightclub," but those video sites also had no related videos circulating.

Lin Rui also turned on the TV to watch the news channels, only to find that they were heavily reporting the anti-gang operation in the eastern district and none mentioned "Fabric Nightclub."
Lin Rui was astounded by this. The Fabric Nightclub was quite famous in the eastern district, and today, over sixty people died there with intense gunfire and explosions at the scene. When he left, he saw people filming; how come it didn't make any splash online?
Was it that the news agencies of the Ninth Base City were unaware of this case and did not take it seriously, or was it suppressed by someone?
Lin Rui thought of Xue Lingxue, feeling that her influence was immensely deep and untraceable.
Unfortunately, he now lacked a reliable information channel and didn't have hacking skills; otherwise, he could have hacked into the police internal system to see whether the police had filed a case and whether they were in a state of outward relaxation but internal tension.
Just then, Yu Feicui sent a message in the team group.
Heart of Jadeite (Yu Feicui): Attention, General Fei has arrived; meet at elevator 4.
