Lin Rui opened his sister Lin Xi's chat window.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Lin Xi, do you have any time to come up recently? Our uncle wants us to have a meal together.

Lin Rui's family had relatives, and in his address book, there was a group labeled 'Blood Relations.'

Initially, Lin Rui didn't understand its meaning but after checking, he realized it contained all the relatives from the Lin family.

On his father's side, Lin Rui had an uncle, two male cousins, and a grandfather; his mother's side also had some relatives, though they hadn't been in contact for a long time.

For instance, this uncle, Lin Da, the earliest record of communication was from a year and a half ago, which seemed to indicate that the siblings didn't have a good relationship with these relatives.

Today, however, this uncle suddenly sent a message, saying he wanted to meet them to discuss something important.

Lin Rui wondered whether it could be the cliché situation of 'no inquiries in poverty in the city, distant relatives when wealth is in the mountains'?

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): Lin Da? What does he want with you? I won't go! If you want to go, go by yourself.

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): Don't go either, it's definitely not going to be anything good!

She was very busy at the moment, refining her bloodline during the day and at night, integrating with the War Dragon. She had no time to meet with that uncle.

After reading his sister's messages, Lin Rui shrugged his shoulders and replied to Lin Da.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Hello, I am currently very busy with something and won't be available until 11 days later, at which time I can meet with you.

He actually wasn't keen on interacting with the relatives from the Lin family but after some contemplation, Lin Rui had decided to meet with them.

If he was going to use this body, he should accept its responsibilities.

Moreover, he was curious about the Lin family's situation, which he couldn't figure out due to limited information.

Lin Rui had tried to look up information on his parents but, oddly, there were no records of them at all.

Yet both of his parents had very high incomes; from Lin Rui's old videos, it was evident that both had high-level cybernetic enhancements. They could afford a villa and likely held high social status.

Lin Rui's father Lin Cong was a classmate of Professor Sima, who from the way he spoke, held Lin Cong's abilities in high regard.

So meeting with them could also help to gather some information.

But not now. Before settling the matter with Qin Yan's stronghold, Lin Rui wasn't in the mood to meet with the 'uncle' he hadn't heard from in so long.

Lin Da: I said it's urgent! Get out here now.

Lin Rui furrowed his brow; this uncle's choice of words was quite rude.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): I already said I'm busy with something important! If you have an urgent matter, you can tell me now, it's the same over the internet.

Lin Da on the other end probably sensed something off in Lin Rui's tone and fell silent for a moment.

Lin Da: Fine! Then 11 days later in the evening, bring Lin Xi with you to Olin Club. Contact me when you arrive, and I'll give you a temporary guest pass.

Lin Rui looked at the chat history, his brow knotted.

His sister probably guessed right; it doesn't seem like anything good.

Just as he was thinking about his sister, Lin Xi sent another message.

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): Brother, when shall we meet? I've got everything from the Zhou family, including a mirror called the Blood Refining Mirror, a Divine Artifact beyond the imperial level that has great uses. It can be used to reflect on oneself, helping the user condense and awaken bloodline powers.

Xia Mo Qian Nian (Lin Xi): In the past few days, I've used this Magic Artifact to awaken a super imperial rank bloodline power 'Bright Blood.' We can take turns using it after we meet.

"Oh?" Lin Rui's heart trembled at the thought, musing that the Zhou family actually possessed such a treasure? No wonder they had bred so many successful scholars over generations.

The Blood Refining Mirror?

For him and his sister, this item was nothing short of a Divine Artifact.

They both possessed strong bloodline powers that had yet to awaken, and this item could accelerate the process of awakening those powers.

Even Wang Sen could use it; that chubby boy's willpower was incredibly strong, surely capable of enduring the pain of blood refinement.

The time for the siblings to meet had indeed come, but dealing with the Zhou family was not going to be easy.

Should they just storm in directly? Wang City now had the strength to wipe out the entire Zhou family if necessary.

Lin Rui felt that such action was somewhat unscrupulous—having just taken their land, money, and treasures, to then exterminate the entire family seemed cruel to the extreme.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Be patient, just wait a few more days.

Lin Rui believed there must be a better way to deal with the Zhou family.

Judging by Zhou An's words and demeanor that day, this head of the Zhou family seemed to be prepared for this eventuality.

Lin Rui hoped those demons from the Zhou family wouldn't make him wait too long.

????

Nine days later, in a subterranean sealed space seventy miles north of Wangcheng County, Lin Rui was performing cybernetic implant surgery on himself.

This was a secret underground base built at great expense by Professor Han and his team, buried 300 meters under the ground.

The base covered an area of about 600 square meters and consisted of fourteen cabins that looked somewhat like the old space capsules from the inside.

There were loads of high-tech equipment stored inside, mainly used for analyzing geological features to locate Qin Yan's stronghold.

Additionally, there were several sleeping pods and one operating pod.

Professor Han and his team had once suspected that this secret underground base had been exposed, and they ceased using it when Zhu Meng was captured.

Later they discovered that the real reason for Zhu Meng's identity leak was a merchant from the Earth Federation who had been providing them with supplies.

This individual had colluded with the people from Tianji Star, betraying their information.

So these days they had restarted the base, and Fei Yunlai had been hiding out here recently.

After Lin Rui found out about a surgical pod here, he made a special trip to perform cybernetic implant surgery on himself and Blood Blade Ji.

Although the surgical pod was just the most basic version, it at least had a few six-axis mechanical arms controlled by thought, which were better than performing the surgery in a crude, manual way.

For this matter, he even temporarily sent Fei Yunlai away, telling the old man to find somewhere else to stay.

The cybernetic implant surgery Lin Rui was about to perform on himself was the 'War God' model 5.

Because the heat had died down, Lin Rui's income had been dwindling, sliding into a trickle.

Nevertheless, he had managed to scrape together 520 million Federation dollars the day before Qin Yan's cave was set to open.

A top-tier 'Blood Sun Tianyuan' had cost him 260 million, two sets of War God model 5 took up another 200 million, and the remaining odds and ends amounted to about 60 million.

"Junior brother, you're actually doing it for real?" Li Li's eyes were filled with shock and amazement.

This junior brother was actually performing surgery on himself.

He had witnessed Lin Rui implanting the 'War God' model 5 and the top-tier 'Blood Sun Tianyuan' into Blood Blade Ji.

The implantation process went very smoothly. Although he was not a master cybernetic surgeon like Professor Sima, he still managed to fully integrate the two powerful cybernetic implants into Blood Blade Ji.

However, that was far less shocking than what he was seeing now: Lin Rui was using his thoughts to control the surgical mechanical arms, cutting open his own body, and bit by bit implanting the nano-robots of the 'War God' model 5.

The process was extremely complicated, involving every part of the body, including the spine.

Only after the full implantation could the 'War God' model 5 be activated, during which these nano-robots would form metal memory.

In the future, whenever their host entered battle, these nano-robots would move into position according to that memory.

Lin Rui's expression was relaxed, even leisurely humming nursery rhymes, his eyes showing interest as he cut open his own body to perform the implant surgery.

The problem was that Lin Rui wasn't using anesthesia in order to stay alert.

Li Li couldn't help thinking: What in the world is junior brother Lin's head made of? Such temperament and willpower were truly terrifying.

To Li Li, it was as if Lin Rui was subjecting himself to a drawn-out torment.

"Not too bad, as long as I keep my mind focused, it actually doesn't hurt much," Lin Rui replied with a calm demeanor and focused gaze. "The problematic implants will involve the brain marrow, I'll have to find a way to let my brain operate in segmented regions."

Li Li had no words, only shaking his head and saying, "Junior brother, your achievements are indeed no fluke."

He was greatly shaken inside and thought that in the future, he could genuinely ask Lin Rui to perform some cybernetic surgeries on him.

If this guy could implant such complex devices into himself, there probably weren't any implant surgeries that could stump him.

At that moment, Lin Rui received a message from Fei Yunlai.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Are you guys done over there? What's with the mystery? Why do you need to be so secretive about your identity?

He was really feeling irritable, as today Professor Han demanded he leave with the protector, disregarding their former master-disciple relationship.

Just what kind of identity did this kid have that required such a tight cover?

Lin Rui was performing surgery on himself while still amiably responding.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): It's going to be several more hours, don't disturb! I'm in the middle of performing surgery on myself. I'll notify you once it's finished.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): !!! Are you serious? You're self-implanting the 'War God' model 5?

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Is that even a question? In a couple of days, I can show you my skills. Don't worry, old Fei, I guarantee that I can implant a complete set of War God model 7 into you. Charging you 50 million Federation dollars for the implantation surgery is absolutely a conscience price.

Fei Yunlai couldn't help but click his tongue, replying reluctantly—Yes! Yes! That's very conscientious.

In fact, even if he had gone to Professor Sima for surgery at the ninth base city, the fee would have been at most 20 million.

The problem was that they were now on Tianji Star, where people capable of such delicate surgeries were rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

A charge of 50 million was truly conscientious when considering his biotic aid chip, still being re-fabricated, for which Lin Rui dared to charge 3 million Federation dollars for implantation, which was also very conscientious.

Fei Yunlai didn't dare to haggle over the price, Lin Rui's skills were secondary, but his reliability was priceless.

How did this young rascal Lin Rui learn such powerful surgical skills? Could talent truly be this terrifying?

At that moment, Lin Rui curiously inquired.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Speaking of which, old Fei, what about the evidence you mentioned before? How did you get involved in the Governor's rebellion case? What exactly is going on?

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): I was framed. About half a year ago, I was hired to kill someone. On the night of the operation, I realized something was wrong and backed out, but the target still ended up dead, and somehow that got pinned on me.

Invincible Bull (Fei Yunlai): Fortunately, I uploaded the video footage of that night to Tianji Star for safekeeping, and afterwards, I did some digging and got hold of some evidence. I've stored a part of it at the ninth base and another part with a friend. The part with my friend will be delivered after some time; but the evidence and footage stored at the ninth base will only be accessible after I've had my biotic chip re-implanted.

After reading it, Lin Rui thought to himself, so that's how it is.

He knew that after Fei Yunlai became a top-ranked fugitive, he simply adopted a desperate approach, dabbling in business as a hitman, a bandit, a mercenary—without disdain for any grim task—resulting in this major trouble this time.

Just then, he heard an electronic voice from outside: "Identity confirmed, welcome home, Mr. Han Kedao."

Upon hearing this, Li Li's face relaxed, and his hand left the hilt of the knife at his waist.

He had actually seen Professor Han through the external surveillance earlier, but Li Li was still not complacent.

He was on high alert, responsible for standing guard and protecting Lin Rui.

After a moment, Professor Han entered with a parcel. He was taken aback for a moment upon seeing Lin Rui performing surgery on himself.

However, his gaze soon shifted to Blood Blade Ji in a nearby sleep pod, and his pupils slightly brightened: "Has she advanced already? When did it happen?"

Professor Han sensed Blood Blade Ji's aura, which had clearly reached the fifth realm!
