Chapter 5 Nine Slashes of the Red Thunder
"Lin Rui?"
Wang Linna looked at Lin Rui, her expression clearly surprised, "You actually managed to fight your way to the top two hundred of the city?"
She was unable to see Lin Rui's ranking, but according to the rules of the combat examination, the system should have matched her with an opponent within fifty places of her own.
Wang Linna had defeated six opponents within ten minutes, and her current ranking was one hundred and eighty-three.
Lin Rui's face turned cold upon hearing her words.
This woman's way of speaking was truly irritating, reeking of condescension.
Was she the only one allowed to make it to the top two hundred?
Lin Rui thought of the videos saved on his smart terminal.
The effort of the original owner of this body was hard for ordinary people to imagine.
He had risked everything, cultivating day and night without a single day of slack, just to catch up with the gap in resources compared to others.
In Lin Rui's view, if he hadn't crossed over, his original body also had a great chance of entering the top two hundred of the city.
Although the quality of the meridians implanted in Lin Rui was only second-grade, he had cultivated his martial arts to a relatively profound level.
Especially the Red Thunder Saber, Lin Rui's original body was close to mastering the most powerful secret technique of this saber method, 'Red Thunder Nine Slashes,' capable of delivering up to seven continuous slashes.
This achievement, though not comparable to Xue Bogao, was still extremely outstanding among his peers.
Lin Rui had never showcased it in school, just so he could astonish everyone in this combat examination.
Wang Linna, seeing that Lin Rui did not respond, also felt slightly annoyed.
But in her memory, Lin Rui was always like this, arrogant and aloof, not fond of socializing, and no one except the chubby Wang Sen could get along with him in class.
Wang Linna slowly drew her sword from her waist, "I didn't expect to encounter you in the combat examination. Good, I've said before that I would show you the results of my hard training over the past month."
She lowered her stance slightly, her gaze sharp, staring at her opponent like a cheetah poised for the hunt.
Wang Linna was originally confident that she would be able to defeat Lin Rui if they were paired up.
In the combat examination, although their physical fitness was the same, the intensity of their spiritual power was determined based on previous test results.
Spiritual power is a vital ability for 'Exotic Body Practitioners.' This not only determines their control over the exotic body but also the strength with which they can execute their martial arts, as well as the duration of their fights, etc. A good Exotic Body Practitioner must have exceptional spiritual power talent, which is why the federal government doesn't always insist on fairness.
Wang Linna had thought she had a significant advantage in this regard, believing that even if it came down to attrition, she could wear Lin Rui out,
However, the recent spiritual power test showed Lin Rui's spiritual power value was actually higher than hers!
Wang Linna then bit down hard, summoning all her strength.
She couldn't believe it! She couldn't believe Lin Rui had fully mastered the Red Thunder Nine Slashes.
This technique required one to bring the Red Thunder Saber to the Great Achievement Realm, to a state of perfection before it could be mastered, far surpassing the threshold of the White Rainbow Six Layer. With Lin Rui's capabilities, how could he possibly have done it?
However, Lin Rui's movements and saber techniques were like clouds flowing smoothly across the sky, as fast as a shooting star, incredibly fluid.
By the time Wang Linna parried the sixth strike, her stance and posture were in complete disarray, staggering, barely able to stand firm.
When Lin Rui's seventh slash came down, Wang Linna could no longer hold on, her sword was forcefully knocked out of her hands by the overwhelming saber force.
The residual blade light fierce and unyielding, chopped down, directly into Wang Linna's virtual avatar's brow.
"The winner is decided! Please be aware, this battle scene will end in thirty seconds."
As the synthesized female voice sounded, Wang Linna's damaged body revived, restored to its original state.
First, a daze crossed her eyes, her mind cluttered with several chaotic thoughts.
She actually lost? She was defeated by Lin Rui in just seven strikes? Unbelievable, and difficult to accept!
And Lin Rui's 'Red Thunder Nine Slashes' seemed effortless to execute, the moves transitioned extremely smoothly.
Wang Linna took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
She looked at Lin Rui with complicated eyes, "Lin Rui, have you truly mastered the complete Red Thunder Nine Slashes?"
But Lin Rui's attention was caught by a light screen that had just appeared before him.
——The system has matched you with your next opponent, do you wish to proceed to the next battle scene?
Lin Rui immediately chose 'Yes', and his virtual body dissipated into specks of light.
He didn't like Wang Linna, and right now he only wanted more victories to improve his rank, so as to receive the school's rewards; there was simply no time for idle talk with Wang Linna.
Seeing this, Wang Linna was first taken aback, then swung her fist in annoyance and frustration.
This Lin Rui, he actually just left like that? Would speaking another word to her have killed him?
His character was still as detestable as ever.
After a dozen or so seconds, Wang Linna returned to her calm state, her gaze becoming solemn.
Lin Rui's saber had been silken smooth, naturally harmonious; it was clear he must have mastered the full Red Thunder Nine Slashes.
This opponent who had been evenly matched with her for three years had now left her far behind, surpassing her thoroughly; this was simply unbearable for her.
