The Soul Reminder indicated that to deduce "Ultimate Slash" to the proficiency level would require 2000 points of Soul Power, which was significantly more than what Lin Rui needed for deducing "Thunderclap Absolute Slash" previously.
Lin Rui chose to agree.
He had been hunting monsters with Wang Sen these past few days and had some gains.
Although he hadn't earned much money, his Soul Power points had recovered to 31,403, giving him ample capital to show off.
"I don't have the 'Ultimate Heart Source,' so it might not be quite right." After Lin Rui exchanged, he drew his sword: "I guess this is the feeling, right? Can you take a look for me?"@@@@
"Then let's give it a try!" Meng Weiyun smiled wryly upon hearing this, "It's okay if you didn't comprehend it at once. It took me several days just to get started—"
Her expression suddenly stiffened, and her voice came to an abrupt halt.
Lin Rui had suddenly used "Ultimate Slash," causing the sword's aura to undergo visible enhancement, emitting a layer of red light.
Lin Rui also swung his "Heavenly Brilliance" sword and said, "It's quite simple, do you think I did it right, my Lord? Is it like this?"
Meng Weiyun stared at the gold and red aura on the sword in a daze, feeling bewildered.
Lin Rui had indeed managed to perform it, even without awakening the 'Ultimate Heart Source.'
This meant that Lin Rui's understanding of the mysteries of "Ultimate Slash" had reached a profoundly deep level.
"Quite simple, is it?" Meng Weiyun first gave a hollow laugh without emotion, and then walked expressionlessly into the room: "Lin Rui, you should head back today. I feel a bit tired and need to rest. Come back tomorrow."
As Meng Weiyun walked away, feeling dispirited, she remembered the past moments when her teachers always praised her with "Weiyun, your talent is among the rarest I've seen," but now her mouth was filled with an unspeakably bitter taste.
Perhaps the teachers had never encountered a true genius. And to think she had been complacent all this time.
However, just before entering the room, Meng Weiyun suddenly remembered the most critical question she forgot to ask Lin Rui. She turned back and said, "Lin Rui, what was the Heavenly Demon's final words yesterday about? Is it true that the Governor-General of Sha State is colluding with the Lord of Inspection to stage a rebellion? Did that Heavenly Demon actually have evidence?"
Lin Rui bowed his hands in respect: "I am not clear on this matter, Sir. Before yesterday, that Heavenly Demon had not provided any information about this aspect. Moreover, that Heavenly Demon was stabbed to death by a trusted person under my orders to prevent the news about the elixirs from leaking."
"Oh?" Meng Weiyun's expression relaxed, she had suspected that Heavenly Demon was dealt with by Lin Rui herself.
"I'm more suspicious that the Heavenly Demon's words could be out of spite, sensationalist to the end, making my current situation very awkward, somewhat caught in a dilemma."
Lin Rui frowned: "However, what is strange is that our prison warden also died in battle last night. Afterward, I asked the prison guards, they were all hiding in the corner of the third level of the dungeon at that time, surrounded by dense fog, only hearing a brief fight in the distance."
Meng Weiyun fell into deep thought.
She sneered inwardly, thinking that the Heavenly Demon might not have been spouting nonsense, and how did she know that the Governor might be collaborating with the Heavenly Demon army, planning to slay gods?
Indeed, there were too many suspicious points in this matter, and Lin Rui might very well be used by someone as a pawn in their scheme.
But that didn't matter. Looking at the current situation, it might actually be for the best.
Meng Weiyun again reminded in a serious tone, "Lin Rui, since you have managed to cultivate 'Ultimate Slash,' you should awaken the 'Ultimate Heart Source' as soon as possible. With such talent, whether it's for polarizing your blood talents in the future or for the 'Dragon Transformation,' it will be very useful."
After she said this, she closed the door with a 'click.'
Lin Rui touched his nose, activated his quantum communication module, and started to look up information on "Ultimate Heart Source".
In his original plan, "Ultimate Heart Source" was not included.
Blood talents are not necessarily better in greater numbers. The more blood talents one has, the greater the burden on one's spiritual power.
Lin Rui sneered and gestured a throat-slitting motion towards Duan Pengxuan, then turned around and walked in the direction of Wang City Government Office.
He was very annoyed by Duan Pengxuan's spiritual pressure but since he wasn't at a disadvantage now, he let it go.
After all, with such a big gap in power between them, he had to admit defeat when necessary.
He needed time now; he had to wait for Blood Blade to break through to the fifth realm and also convert all the money in his account into his own strength.
Meanwhile, on the third floor of the inn, Duan Pengxuan frowned deeply: "This whelp is very bold."
At the same time, he was also quietly astonished.
The mere early-stage of the fourth realm, and yet he was able to resist his martial intent pressure—such strong Primordial Spirit talent.
Lord of Inspection Zhang Chen smiled wryly and saluted: "It is precisely because this youngster is unruly and unyielding that we were forced to resort to this strategy."
Of course, it was also because they could not suppress the anger in their hearts and had underestimated that Lin Twelve.
Duan Pengxuan remained noncommittal, with his hands clasped behind his back deep in thought.
He thought to himself that it was still necessary to dispose of this whelp sooner rather than later.
Although he couldn't take action directly, he could still manipulate others to do his bidding.
He had to give Lin Rui an unquestionable death with a process so clear, that no one could doubt it!
He wondered if, in ten days' time, this whelp would enter Qin Yan's dungeon or not?
Upon returning to the government office, Lin Rui looked at the extensive damage before him and couldn't help but sigh to himself.
It was indeed bitter; ever since he took over as the defense commander of Wang City, the government office had been intact only a few days at a time, constantly needing major repairs.
Fortunately, the inner office was intact this time. After returning to his main residence, Lin Rui sat cross-legged on the ground and injected himself with a dose of "Type-4 Bloodline Enhancement Elixir."
Lin Rui had actually been able to inject this thing for a while now, but for safety, he had specially waited until he consolidated his martial intent.
This way was safer, the awakening would be faster, and the burden on his spiritual power would be lighter.
Indeed, as soon as Lin Rui injected the fourth "Type-4 Bloodline Enhancement Elixir," he successfully awakened the Emperor-class talent "Blood Sun Primordial Element"!
With this talent awakened, Lin Rui could now accumulate Primordial Qi in his bloodline. Moreover, his sword-drawing speed would increase by at least 50%, and both sword speed and sword force would improve by about 20%.
If Lin Rui from last night were replaced with the Lin Rui of now, he wouldn't need to take the risk of using the "Yang Pulling Slash."
He would have a much easier time handling the situation. The preparatory movements for the "Light Transition Slash" would be shorter and subtler, making it harder for others to interrupt. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
At this moment, Lin Rui made some surprised exclamations. He discovered that along with awakening the "Blood Sun Primordial Element," another bloodline power related to his feet and movement techniques was stirring.
Lin Rui didn't continue with the bloodline enhancement injections.
This was different from the assimilation effect brought by bionic suits. Inherent talents from the foreign body had to be awakened slowly on their own and couldn't be hastened by elixirs.
According to the experience of his predecessors, forcing it would only backfire. If he initially should awaken an Emperor-class talent but the drugs turned it into an upper-class one, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Lin Rui then made some adjustments to the behavior mode of the assistant AI in the biological smart chip and returned to the Ninth Base Martial Arts Club. Taking advantage of the time before Qin Yan's dungeon opened, he would make a large purchase aboveground, making his final preparations.
Fortunately, his current situation was very safe. Apart from the two hours a day he spent meeting with Meng Weiyun, he could move around the Ninth Base City without worry.
After waking up in the sleep pod, Lin Rui immediately opened his bank account to check the balance.
