Chapter 57 Hall of Fame (seeking follow-up reading)
Educational Charity Center of Base 9, Yu Feicui hurriedly walked into the auction hall and found Fang Ranran talking with several business tycoons.
When Fang Ranran saw her approaching, she couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.
She excused herself from the people nearby, and with curious eyes, she went up to Yu Feicui, "Is there something you need, Sister Feicui?"
Although both of them were attending the charity auction today, they had their reasons.
Fang Ranran was there to fundraise for the education charity foundation she operated.
Yu Feicui, on the other hand, was accompanying General Fei Yunlai, a newly risen star of the military, at this charity auction.
She and General Fei Yunlai were like siblings, sharing a very close relationship.
"There's a video spreading online, Ranran, you should take a look."
Yu Feicui directly sent a video link to Fang Ranran through a private chat interface.
Fang Ranran opened the video with a skeptical look, but after watching for a moment, her eyes lit up, "Is that Lin Rui?"
She then frowned, turning to Yu Feicui, "How are they doing right now? Why didn't they inform me immediately?"
"By the time I saw this video, they had already escaped danger."
Yu Feicui shook her head, her lips slightly curving up, radiating pleasure, "Keep watching the video."
Fang Ranran then settled down to continue watching the video, her eyes widening in amazement, almost incredulous at the content, "He can actually command flying needles and swords? How is that possible?"
Fang Ranran knew that Lin Rui had implanted a complete set of 'Divine Thunder Flame Armor', truly becoming a Lieutenant-level martial artist, greatly enhancing his strength, but it still shouldn't be so exaggerated, should it?
Watching the battle footage in the video, Lin Rui slaughtering Captain-level martial artists looked like slicing through melons and vegetables.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw it either, but it is indeed true. My senior brother Fei also saw this video, he said Lin Rui might have cultivated the 'Extreme Divine Thunder Pillar', or a similar intermediate-level cultivation technique to a very high level, possibly to perfection!"
Yu Feicui shook her head, speaking in a tone filled with wonder, "Lin Rui's talent is very high, higher than we previously thought, possibly above the level of the top ten, reaching hall-grade! He might have already mastered the Extreme Divine Thunder Pillar, but just hadn't shown it due to not having implanted his meridian points."
She couldn't help but sigh, "His sister is also quite impressive, at sixteen, right after implanting meridians, she could use the Red Thunder Snake Hand, she too will rank among the top three of the top ten in the future. This sibling duo is truly remarkable."
Fang Ranran wondered where Lin Rui had learned the Extreme Divine Thunder Pillar from?
She soon thought of Lin Rui's parents' background and understood; with their positions in the research institutions, they could obtain most of the government-regulated advanced cultivation techniques.
Fang Ranran also agreed with Yu Feicui's judgment, thinking to herself that Lin Rui's talent was indeed frighteningly strong! If Lin Rui could make a name for himself in the upcoming martial arts league, then her uncle would have found a treasure.
Their Tianlan Group developed various cultivation enhancements, the quality of which was quite good, but so far, the Tianlan Group still lacked a hall-grade martial arts star to boost its reputation.
However, Fang Ranran right now was more concerned about Lin Rui's safety.
This video only captured the scene where Lin Rui, controlling a flying sword, cut off Gold-Tooth Jack's arm.
At this moment, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her eyes sharp, her demeanor like that of a queen reigning from a high throne, "Sister Yu, haven't I made myself clear enough with the message I passed to Longze Road yesterday?"
"It was clear enough." Yu Feicui shook her head, her expression somber, "Your God Wing 520, of which only three exist at Base 9, plus the involvement of Kang Mingkai, the lawyer from Zijin Flower Law Firm.
The problem is, the Blood Lizard Gang are a group of crazed lunatics suffering from cultivation syndrome, like this Gold-Tooth Jack shown in the video, who is severely affected by spiritual power overload."
The Fang family is one of the most elite families at Base 9, even holding a high ranking across the entire Earth Federation, with influence spanning the military, government, and business sectors.
The Blood Lizard Gang, however, are scum and rubbish lurking within Base 9.
There was no way Fang Ranran could directly call to warn the Blood Lizard Gang.
Given the status and power of the Fang family, that would be demeaning, lowering themselves to the level of scum and rubbish.
Fang Ranran pulled up her phone book.
She planned to contact the East District Police Station to demand an explanation, but then her expression changed, and she directly sent the video link to her uncle, Fang Kongfang.
Fang Ranran also sent a message to Fang Kongfang.
Rain of Dusty Heart (Fang Ranran): All of the cultivation gear on him is from the Tianlan Group.
After all, she was a young member of the family, not as influential as her uncle, making it more appropriate to hand this matter over to him.
Just two minutes had passed when she saw Fang Kongfang's reply:
Fortune's Favor (Fang Kongfang): Is this Lin Rui? Such hall-level talent! I've already understood what happened. The Blood Lizard Gang is a bunch of brain-fried idiots. The technique Ranran used yesterday won't work on them; only fists and weapons can make them obey. Leave it to me now; wait for my message.
Fang Ranran's lips curled into a slight smile before she opened another address book.
She planned to contact the network surveillance department and media to jointly suppress this video.
Although this video could make Lin Rui extremely famous online, it was actually not good for him.
Lin Rui was still too weak and should not continue to be embroiled in conflicts with the Blood Lizard Gang.
Besides, short-term traffic would be of little benefit.
It was better to wait until after four months, when the university martial arts competition next semester officially started.
Once Lin Rui made a name for himself in the martial arts competition, then releasing this battle video would add fuel to the fire, giving him greater fame and popularity.
But in the next moment, Fang Ranran let out a startled "Eh?"
She discovered that another force was suppressing the video online, and the sources of the video spreading on the network were disappearing.
※※※※
Lin Rui was fighting a life-and-death battle with Jack Goldtooth.
After having an arm severed by Lin Rui, Jack Goldtooth regained his composure and rode his hover-motorcycle at full speed trying to escape.
However, this motorcycle wasn't his original one, and Lin Rui's electromagnetic interference had greatly reduced its speed, making it unable to shake off Lin Rui.
The two pursued each other on motorcycles in the high-speed pipeline, constantly clashing swords.
Jack Goldtooth's face gradually turned pale, and the strength in his sword weakened with every collision.
The stump on his left arm had actually stopped bleeding, but during the minutes-long chase, Jack Goldtooth was stabbed several times by Lin Rui's flying sword.
Jack Goldtooth had a foreboding feeling.
Was he going to die here, in the hands of this youthful nobody?
He felt unwilling and angry.
This nobody was outright monstrous. How could someone so young, just over 18, be so strong? He wasn't even among the top ten warriors.
Moreover, this guy's disposition was extremely venomous.
He had already opted to flee, yet this nobody still relentlessly chased him down, intent on completely annihilating him.
Jack Goldtooth's thoughts were a chaotic mess, even giving rise to various hallucinations.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It was then that he noticed Lin Rui's hover-vehicle suddenly slowing down.
Jack Goldtooth felt a surge of joy, thinking Lin Rui had given up the chase.
But then he spotted about a dozen police cars and armored vehicles blocking the way ahead, with over twenty kinetic assault rifles and particle beam rifles aiming at him from afar.
"Warning! Warning! Please pull over immediately and drop your weapon! Please pull over immediately and drop your weapon!"
Jack Goldtooth's expression darkened, knowing he was ultimately going to be caught today.
But just as he was about to slow down and pull over, the hover-motorcycle beneath him suddenly accelerated, charging toward the police cars.
"Warnings unsuccessful, open fire!"
At that moment, several dozen kinetic rifles fired simultaneously, instantly riddling Jack Goldtooth's body with numerous bloody holes.
Lin Rui stopped his vehicle 150 meters away, watching the scene from a distance.
A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Because among the group of police, Lin Rui saw a familiar face — the only surviving daughter of the Xue family.
