Chapter 154 The Encounter (Vote for Monthly Ticket)
When Lin Xi entered the room, what she saw was a mixed-race Black youth, tall and muscular, like an iron tower.
Is this the Immovable Ming King?
She had previously thought it was a Buddhist, or someone from the South Asian Republic or the Southeastern Federation.
Lin Xi paid it no mind and began to put on her combat suit, simultaneously selecting a suitable battle saber.
They had already agreed beforehand that both parties would use 500 combat suit points, allowing them to equip an ultra-luxurious S+ grade combat suit for this battle.
Lin Xi suffered from choice overload as she was momentarily dazzled by the options, but she still completed her selection within the one-minute preparation time and clicked to confirm she was ready.
Once Lin Xi took her position, Blackstone Zhang Jie's eyes lit up, realizing that the girl before him was indeed skilled.
Not like those before, who didn't even know how to stand properly.
After the countdown ended, Lin Xi didn't rashly approach; she seemed cautious in her movements, facing off against Blackstone Zhang Jie from a distance and slowly moving closer.
Summer's Shallow Thought: Which grade are you in, Ming King? How come I've never seen you before?
Immovable Ming King: I'm not from your school.
Summer's Shallow Thought: If you're not from our school, how did you log into the campus network?
Zhang Jie felt that this girl talked too much. Why say so much during a fight?
Just as he used his consciousness to edit his reply, he suddenly saw a streak of purple saber light slashing towards him.
Zhang Jie's heart tightened, and he hurriedly dodged, but Lin Xi's attack was so abrupt that, caught off guard, he still didn't manage to evade it completely.
As the purple saber light swept past, his right arm unexpectedly became severed, hacked off.
Zhang Jie looked at his wound, shocked for a moment; at the very beginning of the battle, he had lost his most important dominant hand.@@@@
And that saber strike just now, which technique was it? It seemed to be a Thunderfire Cultivation Technique, with an attack range of up to seven meters, but it required some time to charge up.
Plus, it was so fast! So domineering! It effortlessly sliced through his Golden Body Dominator defense.
Zhang Jie instantly realized that the opposing party was using the Red Thunder Saber. So, this must be the 'Thunderclap Absolute Slash,' a secret saber technique with the combined force of the nine slashes, an S-ranked force secret technique as evaluated by the Martial Arts Association!
The issue here is that mastering such a technique with the Red Thunder Saber requires one to be at Great Grandmaster level, yet Summer's Shallow Thought's saber technique clearly wasn't at that level yet.
Zhang Jie thought to himself that this girl's martial arts teacher must be incredibly powerful, someone who managed to simplify the Red Thunder Saber technique allowing Summer's Shallow Thought to master this secret technique in advance, albeit with reduced power.
Lin Xi then pounced like a ferocious bobcat, brandishing that saber right in front of him.
The two engaged in fierce combat, with Lin Xi's long saber continually leaving trails of blood on Zhang Jie's body, even sparking bursts of fire.
"Hardened Golden Body Dominator? Such a tough guy, who is this person?"

Lin Xi was taken aback; this person's Golden Body Dominator seemed to have no weaknesses.
They were in a Captain's channel, equivalent to the late stage of the Third Realm Blood Practice. At this stage, it was impossible for Zhang Jie to achieve 'Golden Body without Flaws.'
Yet Lin Xi's saber light continued to strike all parts of this man's body, unable to cause significant harm.
This indicated that the opponent's reaction capabilities were strong, with remarkable control over muscle, blood energy, True Qi, and consciousness, enhancing the defensive capacity of the force-bearing areas to the extreme in a split second.
However, after the battle persisted for two minutes, it was still Lin Xi who came out on top.
The man had lost his dominant hand and was at a huge disadvantage.
Although Lin Xi couldn't cut through him, she managed to make him bleed persistently, eventually grinding down her opponent to death.
Right after the battle ended, Immovable Ming King sent another message.
Immovable Ming King: You're despicable! Just now, you used conversation as a cover for your attack.
Seeing this, Lin Xi smiled wryly.
This person could trample him?
Zhang Jie couldn't help but smile, a rare hint of fire emerging in his usually reserved and calm eyes.
The network showed Gu Ying Tiandao was online, but his challenge was rejected, and the messages he sent were also refused.
Zhang Jie could only come back to find Xia Mo Shallow Thoughts.
Immovable Ming King: Xia Mo Shallow Thoughts, could you contact this person for me? He won't accept my challenge, nor my messages. I can't talk to him.
Xia Mo Shallow Thoughts: Do you really want to challenge him? Actually, there's no need; the day after tomorrow, you might face each other on the arena.
Lin Xi shook her head disdainfully, thinking that this guy really was stubborn. Wouldn't acknowledge the coffin until he was in it.
Yet the corners of her lips curled up slightly, revealing an anticipatory smile.
That expression was like that of a devil who had successfully schemed.
Hopefully, this guy wouldn't regret it—
At this moment, Lin Rui was locked in a small dark room, practicing his saber technique.
A few days ago, he had thought about transforming the "Thunderclap Absolute Slash." He wanted to infuse it with light elements to match his Cultivation Technique.
However, the prompt from the Battle Spirit Ring had been: Due to the lack of foundational saber moves and the absence of a similar secret saber as a reference, the derivation cannot be performed.
Lin Rui judged that he had neither viable creativity nor a clear direction at that time; he was just wishful thinking.
Previously, Lin Rui had been able to deduce the Yang Pulling Slash because he had thought of using True Yuan to simulate runes, rapidly building up heat within the saber sheath, and then unleashing it violently in an instant to achieve the extreme speed of drawing the saber.
Having a complete plan, the Battle Spirit Ring only needed to help him perfect the details of this saber technique.
Therefore, Lin Rui needed to find a starting point, a way to fuse light and the piercing force of thunder and fire.
His thought was atomic transition, but that was too high-end.
Lin Rui crammed for relevant knowledge and felt that the difficulty was indeed too high, and his cultivation wasn't enough to accomplish it.
Luckily, he had mastered Great Grandmaster-level Rune and Array studies and wanted to use a combination of runes to first create a "youth version" of the Jump Secret Blade.
That was when he received a message from Lin Xi.
Xia Mo Shallow Thoughts (Lin Xi): Brother, help me deal with someone, a person named Immovable Ming King. It seems he's a member of Future Science and Technology University. I was just trampled by him, literally hammered to death by him.
"Immovable Ming King?"
Rage instantly flashed in Lin Rui's eyes—who was this thing, daring to bully his sister?
Or even hammer her to death?
Even though it was virtual combat, Lin Rui felt a bit annoyed.
Without a second thought, he exited the small dark room, and at that moment, a challenge invitation from "Immovable Ming King" appeared before him, indicating the challenge was at the captain level.
Lin Rui chose to accept and entered the pre-battle configuration interface.
Immovable Ming King: Brother, 600 points for Armor Suit and 100 points for weapon, okay with you?
He took Lin Rui seriously—600 points were just enough to bring his real-life Armor Suit into play.
Gu Ying Tiandao: Okay!
Lin Rui was indifferent; his two kinds of Armor Suits in reality added up to less than 200 points, and even adding the soon-to-be-implanted SSS-grade Armor Suit "Blood Sun True Yuan," it was only just over 350 points.
Soon after, both appeared on the arena at the same time.
Lin Rui immediately recognized his opponent—it was Zhang Jie from Future Science and Technology University, the Quasi-Hall level "Black Stone."
Yu Feicui had sent all the intel on the participants from Future Science and Technology University to their inbox five days before.
Zhang Jie's avatar in the virtual world looked exactly like him in reality.
This was a prospective student with a double 'S+' rating in Armor Suit grading and combat technique from the Martial Arts Association. A nearly fourth-realm Super King!
