Chapter 10: Chapter 9: Divine Thunder and Heavenly Fla

Lin Rui was looking forward to Guan Biran’s “little surprise” with great anticipation, yet when he arrived at the school’s service center to collect his reward, he was puzzled.

There was no surprise at all; everything Lin Rui received was what he was entitled to: a scholarship of thirty thousand federal dollars, plus a refund of twenty-seven thousand federal dollars for tuition and fees for the year, all of which were directly deposited into his account.

Next, he was given a set of artificial ridians of the highest quality and three gene-enhancing potions, which were handed to him in a very high-end portable mini-refrigerator.

Just as Lin Rui was feeling slightly disappointed, the smiling manager of the service center told him that Assistant Guan had specifically instructed that Tianlan Biological Company had already arranged a surgery for him at the affiliated hospital of the school.

The company had not only hired a top-tier surgical professor to perform the operation but had also covered the surgical costs and asked him to proceed as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui was slightly pleased, thinking that this could barely count as a “surprise.”

...

Implanting artificial ridians required a full-body operation, which demanded much experience and skill from the doctor, and the quality of the ridians varied with different doctors’ standards.

Those doctors, who were highly skilled and experienced, charged particularly high fees.

Although Mingde University was quite weak in the areas of xenotransplantation and biological enhancents in martial arts, its dical school was the top among the many universities in Base Nine.

The surgical professors at their affiliated hospital were also top-notch throughout Base Nine; the fee for a ridian implant surgery likely started at twenty thousand.

Lin Rui imdiately took the portable refrigerator and hurriedly went to the affiliated hospital, where he found Professor Sima.

This surgical professor was around thirty years old, with delicate features and a scholarly appearance.

Professor Sima conducted a thorough examination of Lin Rui, then opened the portable refrigerator.

Upon seeing the contents, his expression briefly showed surprise: “It’s Sky Blue Company’s ‘Divine Thunder Heavenly Fla’? No wonder—”

A look of realization appeared in Professor Sima’s eyes as he thought to himself why Sky Blue Company would spare no expense to arrange for him to perform the ridian implant surgery for Lin Rui.

Since becoming a doctoral advisor, he had not personally conducted such basic biological enhancent surgeries for a long ti.

Lin Rui had already been sterilized and was lying in a specialized enhancent tuning pod.

This was a fully enclosed surgical pod surrounded by transparent glass, yet Lin Rui could still hear the surgical professor’s voice.

His expression surprised, he asked, “Divine Thunder Heavenly Fla? Professor, what model is this?”

Lin Rui had never heard of this na before; as he asked, he opened his personal terminal and searched the internet for information on ‘Divine Thunder Heavenly Fla.’

However, after entering the keyword, he still found nothing.

“You won’t find it online; it’s a governnt-controlled model, still classified. Its prototype is the powerful bloodline talent ‘Radiant Thunder Sacred Body’ of the Tianji Star people. Although it has passed safety tests, currently only military officers of the rank of lieutenant colonel or above are eligible to acquire it, and it’s said that one must cultivate a martial skill like Thunder Fire Stakes or a similar Thunder Fire cultivation to the Great Achievent Realm to withstand it,” explained Professor Sima.

Professor Sima looked at Lin Rui: “Do you really want to switch to this set of ridians? Although its power is great, surpassing most top-grade products on the market, if your Thunder Fire cultivation is not up to standard, the burden on your spirit and body will be heavy, and in severe cases, it could lead to ntal instability or even loss of control, turning you into a madman.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Rui was overjoyed; he finally understood the “little surprise” Guan Biran had ntioned.

As far as Lin Rui was aware, all artificial ridians available on the market had received governnt authorization for sale.

Additionally, so special models of enhancents were ‘controlled’ by the governnt, either because they were too powerful or because the thresholds were too high.

These were the models that enhanced martial artists dreamt of acquiring.

As for those models under governnt secrecy orders, they were even more precious among the precious!

Although these ridians were also marked as special grade, their value far surpassed that of normal special-grade artificial ridians.

Lin Rui’s eyes glead with a light as he thought to himself that this surprise was not small at all, “I’m certain! Please help with the replacent, Professor. My Thunder Fire Stance has already t the standard.”

Martial Artists wanting to implant various enhancents have prerequisite conditions, such as the level-two ‘artificial ridians’ previously implanted in Lin Rui, which require a spiritual power value of at least thirty and a basic understanding of stance techniques, otherwise severe rejection reactions would occur, and the brain’s electromagnetic waves would also be severely disturbed.

However, Lin Rui’s spiritual power had now reached 153, and his Thunder Fire Stance had reached the Grandmaster level, which should enable him to withstand this set of ‘Divine Thunder Heavenly Fla’.

“Oh?” Professor Sima’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

At his age, Lin Rui had already cultivated his Thunder Fire Stance to the Great Achievent Realm? But it made sense—the assistant chairman of Tianlan Biological Company valued him so highly, there must be sothing special about this kid.

He imdiately nodded and began to seriously review Lin Rui’s various test data.

“I’ll also adjust your artificial Dantian while I’m at it. From the holographic scan, it seems the doctor who implanted your Dantian wasn’t very skilled. There are many flaws, and it’s a miracle that you could accumulate so much Thunder Fire True Qi inside. I estimate that after the adjustnt, your True Qi circulation efficiency and accumulation speed will greatly improve.

Also, after implanting the ‘Divine Thunder Heavenly Fla’ type of ridians, there are very few ‘artificial spiritual vessel’ types that can match it afterward. Those are all top-level artificial vessels, almost all regulated types, and are very expensive. The cheapest one here also costs three hundred thousand federal coins. Moreover, these regulated types have high requirents for the physical body and spiritual power, so you should be ntally prepared.”

Upon hearing the last sentence, Lin Rui couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Currently, a set of top-level spiritual vessels on the market costs only one hundred thousand federal coins. Three hundred thousand federal coins was equivalent to six years’ total salary for a mid-level blue-collar worker in this era.

Lin Rui then said firmly, “I understand!”

Such top-tier artificial ridians were not sothing he could normally co into contact with; he absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

※※※※

The ridian implantation surgery lasted for an hour, and when Lin Rui woke up, there were no wounds on his body.

Federal biodical technology was highly developed, already capable of using dications and devices to rapidly heal human cells. Consequently, hospitals of this era only had intensive care units and no inpatient departnts.

The mont Lin Rui woke up, he sensed changes within his body.

The feeling was indescribable,—if he had to describe it, it was incredibly smooth.

If his previous level-two artificial ridians were compared to a two-lane country road, now it was like a two-way five-lane highway.

And now, the connection between his artificial ridians and his artificial Dantian was very firm and tightly integrated with his body.

Lin Rui had always felt as if there was a film separating his ridians from his Dantian, but that sensation was no longer there; it felt as if these enhancents were naturally parts of his body.

After carefully sensing for a mont, Lin Rui suddenly exclaid, “Professor, I feel like this inner core and the ridians seem to have many more branches.”

His eyes showed confusion, wondering where these branches ca from.

Professor Sima smiled, “Those branches are the twelve regular ridians and the extraordinary vessels in your body, which are part of the natural ridian system humans originally have—quite amazing, right? This is very similar to the ridian system of the beings from Sky Pole Star. In fact, there has long been a scientific suspicion that Sky Pole Star visitors may have co to Earth early on and had contact with humankind, even that human beings have Sky Pole Star bloodlines from interbreeding that occurred long ago.

The dical community has also been researching how to utilize the human ridian system to aid Martial Artists in their cultivation. I was fortunate to join a project that developed a technique to connect artificial ridians with the twelve regular ridians within the human body, which could improve efficiency of various artificial ridians by about twenty percent, unfortunately—”

He did not continue, instead, he started editing dical suggestions on his personal office tablet: “I’ve prescribed so dications for you, to help reduce rejection reactions and stabilize your spiritual power, all included in the cost of this implantation. You can go directly to the prescription window to pick them up later.

Also, the next four hours is the adaptation period. Do not engage in intense physical activities. After four hours, you can try practicing martial arts. I saw that you still have three doses of gene enhancent liquid in your portable fridge. You can inject one during practice to increase the intensity. Let know imdiately if anything feels wrong, and I can continue adjusting for you.”

Lin Rui’s eyes showed anticipatory excitent.

He was eager to see what was so special about this set of ‘Divine Thunder Heavenly Fla’ implanted in him?
