Chapter 52: Chapter 51: The Express Delivery Arrives
When the shared wing car came to a halt, Lin Rui, while pushing the door open to get out, jokingly asked, “Lin Xi, why are you staring at me like that? Do you think your brother looks exceptionally handsome today?”
At that moment, his actions slightly paused as he started to survey his surroundings.
Lin Rui sensed a faint presence, observing them.
It felt exactly like when he last went to Mingde Affiliated Hospital to receive Alien Body at the school’s gate.
However, even when Lin Rui concentrated and even released a magnetic field in his palm, he still found nothing.
“Vain!” Lin Xi got out of the car from the other side, her gaze skeptical, “Brother, what was that just now? I felt your Qi suddenly become very strong.”
...
— It wasn’t just strong; it also gave her a great sense of oppression.
Lin Xi even faintly sensed that the ether elements of the surrounding void and their fiery nature fluctuated with Lin Rui’s breathing tides.
It was strange because Lin Xi, a newly implanted Lieutenant Martial Artist, shouldn’t be able to sense these ether elements.
But during Lin Rui’s bursting energy just now, Lin Xi clearly felt it.
The method Lin Rui used afterward with the metallic particles inside the car impressed Lin Xi even more.
Lin Rui returned his gaze and smiled slightly, “I have already implanted an Array Plate, and changed my Dantian as well, it’s a complete ‘Divine Thunder Inferno,’ something I mentioned before that couldn’t be found online, a military confidential model.”
At these words, Lin Xi’s spirit lifted, instinctively feeling joy for Lin Rui.

But Lin Rui’s next words made her face stiffen again, “However, I now owe Tianlan Finance and Credit Company 900,000 Federation dollars, but don’t worry, it’s an interest-free loan with no right of recourse, they can’t trace it back to you.”
Including his recent purchase of flying swords and needles, he actually spent over 1 million, almost reaching his maximum credit limit.
Lin Xi took a deep breath and calmed her feelings, “It’s okay, this is normal.”
After all, how many Martial Cultivator and Alien Body practitioners don’t owe money?
Their parents, while primarily researchers, had also spent a lot on implantation.
It’s very rare in the world of Martial Cultivators that their parents could still leave some savings for them.
Lin Rui only owed 900,000—
Lin Xi felt annoyed internally, silently cursing the Blood Lizard Gang.
She wondered if in the future, the siblings wouldn’t even have a chance to stay here anymore.
It turned out her brother was quite the tough cookie, well aware of the Blood Lizard Gang’s influence in East City yet still insisting on filing a lawsuit.
Lin Xi felt very pleased; those people from the Blood Lizard Gang were all bastards, and keeping quiet didn’t help at all.
Just at that moment, an electronic sound came from outside the door.
“Your courier has arrived.”
Lin Rui’s heart skipped a beat, knowing the “Yuan Magnet Flying Needles” and “Smart Flying Sword” he had ordered had arrived.
Courier services in this era were that fast, reaching anywhere within the same city in just minutes.

As Lin Rui and the other took a shared flying-wing car back to their own doorstep, in a terraced villa on the opposite side, a middle-aged Caucasian with thinning hair pulled down the curtain, not daring to peek toward Lin Rui’s side any longer.
He realized Lin Rui’s spiritual awareness was indeed very sharp. Last time at the entrance of Mingde University, Lin Rui almost spotted him.
Today was even more impressive than before; Lin Rui’s spiritual power seemed to have grown stronger, and his sensing range had become much broader.
The question was, to what extent had this guy’s spiritual power reached now? Was it 200? Or 240? Surely not 300? It had only been a few days since Lin Rui’s spiritual power broke through 150.
Now, the most recent intelligence they could review was the data from Lin Rui’s physical examination during an exam.
Since then, all of Lin Rui’s physiological data had been taken over by Si Malin, encrypted by this candidate academician of the East Asian Republic.
The Caucasian middle-aged man frowned deeply, feeling that the matter of soul-searching could not be delayed any longer.
The higher Lin Rui’s spiritual power grew, the more difficult soul-searching would be.
The Caucasian middle-aged man then hurriedly walked to the basement of this terraced villa.
Inside, this space originally used for storage was astonishingly arranged into a simple array altar.
The altar was assembled from twenty-four array plates, each one meter in length and width, made by a carbon fiber 3D printer, and within the altar, 108 candles were burning.
The Caucasian middle-aged man sat down at the center of the altar, first taking three mouthfuls of blood drawn from a child, then forming a magic gesture and began to meditate deeply.
Suddenly, a whirl of chill wind started in the basement, blew through the open door, and rushed towards the direction of Lin Rui’s house.
