Chapter 199 Dragon Armor (Please Subscribe)
Blood Blade Princess had indeed advanced to the fifth realm. The moment she fully implanted the ultimate version of the "Blood Sun Primordial Core," her demonic core entered a complete state under the stimulation of the newly born powerful bloodline primordial force and Guang Ming elements, beginning to generate "Dragon Armor."
At this time, she was lying in the sleep chamber, using the "High-Concentration Ether Nutrient Fluid" that Lin Rui had brought from the ninth city base to grow her Dragon Armor and stabilize her condition.
As Martial Cultivators advanced to the fifth realm, the Golden Core inside their hearts would transform and produce Dragon Armor.
The Dragon Armor would grow from the heart, first covering the chest and abdomen, then the back, followed by the limbs, until it covered the entire body to form a complete "Dragon Armor."
Demons differed from humans; their "Dragon Armor" usually grew inside their bodies.
However, there were exceptions. For demi-demons like Blood Blade Princess, the Dragon Armor also covered the outside of the body.
According to the experiences of predecessors, the moment of the Golden Core's transformation was extremely important for both humans and demons.
If there was sufficient primordial energy at this time, then the Golden Core could transform into a larger area of Dragon Armor, thus saving months or even years of cultivation effort!
And this part of the bone armor would be much harder than the normally generated one and could store more strength.
Lin Rui had spent over half of that 60 million funds on these "High-Concentration Ether Nutrient Fluids."
They were specially formulated for Ji Xueying by Professor Sima's team for the best enhancement effects.
Though Ji Xueying was clothed, everyone could sense that the left side of her chest was almost completely covered by a layer of golden-yellow bone armor.
"What a relief!" Professor Han's expression loosened, "With this, we can indeed match that imperial censor in combat."
Once Ji Xueying advanced to the fifth realm, they would indeed have some confidence in this expedition to Qin Yan's cave dwelling.
"More than matching in combat? Lin Rui also performed implantation surgery on her."
Li Li's eyes showed unusual excitement, clicking his tongue and saying, "The ultimate version of Blood Sun Primordial Core, plus a set of War God Model 5, tsk tsk! This is simply the top-configured version of Blood Blade Princess. I wonder what Prince Han would think if he knew about this?"
He would probably be moved by Yuan Ji's dedication to him, willing to invest such a large sum. Then he would likely detest the incompetence of the Zhu family's uncle and nephew, wouldn't he?
Li Li then looked at the package in Professor Han's hands, "Professor, is that the injection prepared for her?"
Professor Han was also shocked to hear what Li Li said.
The items Lin Rui had implanted for Ji Xueying were all nine-figure toys, while the annual funds that Professor Han's team could fight for were currently in that range.
He then thought of Lin Rui's current popularity on the internet and understood it all.
Professor Han was secretly grateful, as Lin Rui had undoubtedly spent a fortune this time.
Professor Han smiled wryly and shook the package in his hand, "It's an experimental product that I got from a friend at the East Asia Science Academy, called the 'Core Formation Promoter.' It was originally intended to help stimulate her demonic core to advance before the opening of the cave dwelling tomorrow.
However, as it happens, this drug was actually a failed experiment, only capable of increasing the Core Formation progress by three percent. Its cost was astonishingly high for such poor results, but it could comprehensively improve physical fitness and increase the spiritual power by approximately 80 to 200 points. The effect is comparable to a fifth-realm imperial-grade Spirit Pill from Tianji Star, albeit much more expensive."
He hesitantly glanced at Ji Xueying in the sleep chamber, "This substance has undergone rigorous drug trials. Many wealthy and aspiring Ether-drifters have used it to enhance their spiritual power. Theoretically, it could accelerate the condensation of the bone armor."
However, Blood Blade Princess was a demon, and he was unsure whether Ji Xueying could withstand such strong medicinal properties.
Ji Xueying in the sleep chamber suddenly opened her eyes, "Professor, please inject me now, I'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui frowned slightly, then nodded to Professor Han to indicate his approval.
If the drug had already gone through strict trials, there shouldn't be much of a problem with it.
And in the current situation, not taking some risks was impossible.
Besides, Ji Xueying truly needed an enhancement in spiritual power. She already possessed a supra-emperor bloodline, had successively implanted the "Blood Core Fury Sun" and "Blood Sun Primordial Core," and also had "Steel Reinforcement" implants, making the mental burden on her extremely heavy.
This failed 'Core Formation Promoter' could just complement her current weaknesses.
Lin Rui also began to concentrate, performing surgery on himself.
About two hours later, Lin Rui's lips curled into a subtle smile as he activated his "War God" Model 5, beginning the initialization of the nanomachines.
Moments later, with a mere thought from Lin Rui, those nanorobots inside his body seeped out from his skin and formed an armguard at his arm's position.
This armguard was very thin and could be perfectly concealed under clothing.
After Lin Rui tried it several times and found no issues, he then stepped out of the surgical chamber.
Just as he was putting on his official robe and armor, his brows furrowed deeply.
Lin Rui picked up his official seal, which was slightly warm, indicating someone had attempted to contact him but failed to connect.
At that moment, Wang Sen sent a message.
Eccentric Youngster (Wang Sen): Rui Bro, it's the great elder of Burning Saber Sect; he has arrived at Wang City. Someone saw him heading straight to the Zhou residence after entering the city.
Lin Rui's expression grew solemn.
Burning Saber Sect's Great Elder Zhou Changgong, who was said to possess an imperial-grade bloodline, was nearly a six-realm cultivator!
Lin Rui had long ago ordered his subordinates to monitor this person's movements.
He glanced at Ji Xueying inside the sleep capsule, whose bone armor was still forming, having already covered almost half of her right chest.
Lin Rui shook his head and walked out directly, "Professor, and Brother Li Li, keep an eye on her for me, and inform me if anything happens."
He opened the base door and strode out, his figure flickering like a shadow through the narrow tunnel ahead.
????
The Zhou residence, at this moment, was in the midst of a fierce battle.
Lin Xi had realized something was wrong at the moment of the attack; she was escorted by two maids to the main house of the Zhou family, where several Protectors guarded and protected her. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
Beneath this main house was a tunnel that could allow her to escape two streets away.
Lin Xi did not want to flee and remained calm, she jumped directly to the roof and looked towards the direction of the front courtyard.
The situation was dire, the Martial Cultivator who had infiltrated the Zhou family was extremely powerful, and the joint forces of six Zhou family Level 5 demons were unable to stop his advance.
On the contrary, the old nanny who had been looking after her was already dead, smashed to death with a single punch by that man. In addition, nearly twenty more demons had died at his hands.
The whole Zhou mansion seemed on the verge of being wiped out single-handedly by this man.
Zhou An and the Wang family were still alive only because that person wanted to force them to transform, to reveal their demonic forms!
"'Flame God's Fury' Zhou Changgong!"
Lin Xi clenched her fists tightly, flames of anger flickering in her eyes.
She had always viewed the demons of the Zhou family as tools to be used, living in constant fear while spending every day with the old granny.
Yet now, when the old granny died, Lin Xi instinctively felt angry and grieved for her.
The old granny was indeed a demon, a Hundred-Eyes Demon, but she had never harmed anyone. In her mind, she had but a single consciousness – to protect Zhou Yun Xi at all costs, the last bloodline of the Zhou family.
Lin Xi only regretted that she had not yet managed to refine the battle dragon or heal its wounds, unable to stop that bastard.
Therefore, Lin Xi did not plan to call her brother for help. Lin Rui's cultivation level was at most Level 4, and his presence would be useless in stopping Zhou Changgong.
What Lin Xi could do now was to try to preserve herself as much as possible and to take revenge for these people of the Zhou family at some point in the future.
At this moment, in the front courtyard, 'Flame God's Fury' Zhou Changgong, who was as huge as a giant, had just crushed the skull of the head Protector of the Zhou family with his palm!
This head Protector had transformed into a Blood Wing Demon with the strength of a mid-level 5th Territory combatant, second only to Mr. and Mrs. Zhou among all the demons of the house, and was skilled in Escape Skills, extremely fast and agile.
Yet, even in what he was best at, speed, he had lost to Zhou Changgong, and after less than ten breaths of chase, was caught by 'Flame God's Fury' Zhou Changgong and had his head crushed.
Zhou Changgong then looked with interest at Zhou An and Mrs. Wang in front of him.
The two were expressionless, seemingly unaware that the head Protector was dead, numbly and mechanically applying their martial arts skills from before their transformation, viciously attacking him.
It was all in vain, though; their full-strength sword strikes could barely penetrate Zhou Changgong's outer aura and didn't faze the 'Heavenly Demon's Armor' on his body.
"Still unwilling to transform into your demonic bodies? What a pity, both the Lamp Genie and Sword Bone Demons are very powerful, but now you can't even utilize half of your strength," Zhou Changgong said with his hands behind his back, tilting his head leisurely towards the direction of the main house, "I heard that your granddaughter is still alive? Is she the only one in your Zhou family who hasn't transformed?"
He noticed Zhou An and Mrs. Wang stiffened slightly, their skin trembling.
Zhou Changgong smiled lightly, his figure floating into the air, easily avoiding Zhou An and Mrs. Wang's interception using advanced Escape Skills.
But just as he was about to reach the main house, Zhou Changgong's expression subtely changed.
First, a flying seal appeared, landing in front of him, followed by a tall, slender figure clad in black armor, emerging in front of him amidst a burst of thunder and lightning.
What followed was an incredibly sharp and powerful blade light!
"Clang!"
Zhou Changgong blocked the blade, but his giant form retreated half a step.
The sword which took the lead, swift like a flash of lightning, unbelievably fast, a continuous barrage of more than twenty strikes, relentless, preventing Zhou Changgong from counterattacking for a moment.
It was only after the Zhou family couple caught up that this person was forcefully blasted away by a fierce punch from Zhou Changgong.
"Abyss will, indeed it is the Guang Ming technique," Zhou Changgong narrowed his eyes, looking at the young man in front of him wearing the heavy armor of a capital city commandant, "Are you Lin the Twelfth, the Defense Envoy of the capital city?"
The man who killed two of our Burning Saber Sect's inner elders!
This fellow, far stronger than he had anticipated, was no kept man.
