Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 10 Mysterious Blood Drop

Lin Rui returned to his residential area at six in the evening.

The sky inside the base had turned completely dark, the artificial sun had gone out, and had been replaced by an artificial moon, which caused the temperature throughout the entire base city to drop suddenly.

Just as Lin Rui was driving the rented shared hover motorcycle into the entrance of the neighborhood, his sister Lin Xi sent another message.

Summer's Shallow Thought (Lin Xi): Didn't you say you would be back around six? I have made the food already, why don't I see you?

Summer's Shallow Thought (Lin Xi): Brother, did you really take the 11th place in the combat assessment? You're not lying to me, right?

Lin Rui couldn't help but chuckle; he had told Lin Xi about his assessment results at noon, but she still found his scores unbelievable.

He was just about to reply when the corner of his eye caught sight of General Xue's villa ahead.

Lin Rui's brows slightly furrowed.

The feeling he had when he passed by this villa this morning came again, rising within him out of nowhere a boundless desire to kill and malevolence.

He desperately suppressed his emotions while stopping the vehicle, staring intently at the three-story villa still under yellow police tape.

Through the reflections on the glass curtain walls that made up the exterior of the villa, Lin Rui noticed that his eyes were completely blood-red.

Lin Rui felt a chill in his heart.

This was definitely the influence of the combat spirit's obsessions; the repercussions of this replication skill were beyond his imagination.

Was there any way to resolve it?

Just then, another piece of information appeared in Lin Rui's mind.

Instruction 4: Enhancing the strength of one's soul can resist the influence of the combat spirit's obsessions.

Instruction 5: Helping the combat spirit fulfill its obsessions can weaken the intensity of its obsessions, ultimately neutralizing the combat spirit.

Lin Rui, sensing the text in his mind, displayed a thoughtful expression.

He concluded that enhancing his own soul strength could only provide temporary relief; the real cure would be helping the combat spirit fulfill its obsessions.

Just yesterday, he had taken pride in replicating three master-level martial arts skills from Xue Bogao, yet he hadn't realized that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

At that moment, another piece of information popped up in Lin Rui's mind.

Mission: Combat Spirit Number One has issued you a mission; he wants you to help him check the crime scene and look for clues about the murderer. After completing this task, you can copy a skill from Combat Spirit Number One's skill list at no cost.

Lin Rui was momentarily stunned by surprise that the combat spirit could issue him a mission.

To take a look at the crime scene and be able to exchange for a skill for free?

Lin Rui used his thoughts to open Xue Bogao's skill list and found that there was an additional skill available for copying.

He guessed it was related to the enhancements in his spiritual power and physical fitness after implanting new meridians.

Lin Rui looked around once more.

It was the evening rush hour now, the neighborhood's internal streets bustling with people and vehicles. Lin Rui also spotted two patrol officers nearby and a security team patrolling the streets.

The security management in the vicinity had been strengthened by the government after the crime occurred; now was clearly not a good time to sneak into the villa.

This sister also made his heart ache; Lin Xi clearly had a higher martial talent than her brother, yet she consistently refused to implant an artificial Dantian.

She not only gave all opportunities to Lin Rui but had supported him unconditionally over the years, striving to keep their home intact.

Lin Rui was somewhat envious of his predecessor for having such a good sister.

Through Lin Xi's bangs, Lin Rui saw her eyes slightly reddened, and he couldn't help but ruffle her head again, "Don't worry, as soon as the Alien License is obtained, our family's situation will get better and better, and that's settled then, first thing Saturday morning we proceed with the implantation; I have already made the prepayment."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and reached for the bowl of braised pork in front of him.

This was his favorite dish before he time-traveled and his tastes hadn't changed; Lin Xi must have noticed his preference and had deliberately placed this bowl in front of him.

But as Lin Rui's chopsticks nearly reached it, Lin Xi snatched the bowl away first.

Lin Rui slightly startled, asked, "What are you doing?"

"The dish has gotten cold, I'm going to heat it up."

Lin Xi hurriedly walked into the kitchen with the bowl.

She hesitated slightly, then dumped the braised pork into the trash can.

Lin Xi still couldn't confirm that the Lin Rui in front of her was her own brother.

The issue was, other than the brother who had stuck by her side through thick and thin, who else would be so good to her? To just have obtained his Alien License and then unreservedly use all his money for her implantation?

After all, had Mrs. Qing not said so? There are many reasons for fluctuations in the brain's electromagnetic field, such as severe emotional swings, suffering heavy injuries, or a large increase in spiritual power; and Lin Rui had just been heavily injured.

She couldn't be so rash and hasty, nor did she want to do anything that would harm their sibling relationship.

Lin Xi immediately opened the cupboard, took out a packet of instant braised pork and put it into the warmer.

The majority of today's dishes on the dining table were instant meals she had bought; they weren't made with care.

Thinking about it now, Lin Xi felt quite guilty for just using ready-made meals on her brother's big day.

Meanwhile, Lin Xi reopened her personal terminal to watch the video of Lin Rui being shot.

This time, she watched the video to the end, to the part where the gunman in black shot towards the direction of the holographic monitor, and then everything turned dark.

Lin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, anger flaming inside her like magma—who exactly were these people, and were they targeting her? Were they trying to force her awakening?

She must find out what exactly happened after the shooting. Her brother was supposedly dead, his head shattered by a bullet, yet how could he just casually walk back into her life? She also needed to uncover the identity of the gunman, and then—slaughter them!

If her brother had indeed been revived by some sort of biotechnology, that would be one thing, but if he was truly dead, then what meaning was there to continue living in this world?

"Oh, right!"

Lin Xi suddenly remembered something, hurried back to her room, and grabbed a small pig-shaped piggy bank before rushing out.

She smashed the piggy bank fiercely, and inside it, there were a bunch of coins and three blood-red crystals.

Lin Xi threw one of the crystals to Lin Rui, "Take this, once your Alien License is down, you'll need to cultivate an alien form. Dad instructed repeatedly years ago, when you cultivate your alien form, you must integrate the drop of blood inside this crystal."

Lin Rui picked up the crystal, his eyes suspicious as he examined and toyed with it.

He noticed the crystal was hollow, and its material wasn't actually blood-red; it was colored by the blood stored inside.

Lin Rui's eyes flashed with astonishment, wondering what kind of creature's blood it was. Was it from an alien from Tianji Star?
