Chapter 72: Chapter 71: He’s Bragging (Requesting Monthly Tickets)
“`
Lin Rui’s heart trembled upon hearing those words, for after he had mastered the Grandmaster-level Purple Gleaming Thunder Saber and Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill, he began unconsciously applying so of the techniques into the Red Thunder Saber and Red Thunder Palm.
He hadn’t noticed it himself, but Fei Yunlai had.
Feeling a bit guilty, Lin Rui nodded, “I have indeed been studying the Purple Gleaming Thunder Saber and Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill, and I have gained so insights.”
In reality, he had already reached the Grandmaster level in these two martial arts.
Yu Feicui, who was below the stage, couldn’t help but light up with joy, “Lin Rui, since you’ve learned it, then show it, let Brother Fei see.”
...
However, Fei Yunlai shook his head after hearing this, “Forget it, we’re almost out of ti. It would take at least ten minutes for him to use that set. Since he didn’t use it earlier, it’s clear that he doesn’t have confidence in these two martial arts. He might as well practice so more, and when I’m free later on, I’ll co back to check on him.
But, this kid’s Red Thunder Saber and Red Thunder Palm are near perfect, and I barely have anything to teach him. The techniques from the Purple Gleaming Thunder Saber and Red Sky Thunder Protection Skill are also applied correctly, just right.”
Folding his arms in front of his chest, he pondered while speaking, and at that mont, his expression suddenly changed, fixing his eyes on Lin Rui, “Lin Rui, you should know the advantages of combining fire and thunder, right?”
Lin Rui nodded again, “I do, it’s thermal puncturing.”
Here, we have to ntion ‘dielectric breakdown,’ especially ‘solid dielectric breakdown.’
Under the action of a strong electric field or high temperature, solid dielectrics can lose their electrical insulation and abruptly change from an insulating to a conducting state.
Solid dielectric breakdown is divided into three types: electrical puncture, thermal puncture, and electrochemical puncture.
Electrical puncture usually occurs under normal temperature conditions when the electric field strength exceeds the endurance range of the insulating material.
The so-called ‘thermal puncture’ occurs in high-temperature environnts. It’s caused by the internal accumulation of heat in the dium, leading to excessive temperatures and the loss of insulating ability.
Under normal circumstances, when the temperature rises, the resistance of most conductors also increases.
After the resistance increases, if high voltage continues to be supplied, the temperature will rise until it reaches a level that causes lting, burning, and thermal puncture.
Apart from solid dielectric breakdown, there is also liquid and gas dielectric breakdown, both of which are influenced by high temperatures to so extent.
This is the mystery of combining the fire and thunder cultivation techniques. So even though Lin Rui’s ability to control fire is still underdeveloped and hardly causes any damage to the enemy, once the temperature of Lin Rui’s fire control exceeds 1000, the power will increase several tis, and it will be incredibly aweso!
In gaming terms, this is what’s called ‘late ga.’
The people from the Heavenly Pole Star don’t understand these principles; they just naturally combine the two ether elents of thunder and fire to form a series of martial arts, including the Red Thunder Palm.
After humans mastered these martial arts, they ca up with new variations by deviating from the original chanisms.
Fei Yunlai gave a slight smile, “Lin Rui, your martial arts are simply perfect, I have nothing to teach you in this aspect. However, I do know a master who, based on the Purple Gleaming Thunder Saber and thermal puncture, created an extraordinarily powerful secret move, ‘Thunderclap Absolute Slash.’ You might want to try learning it.”
Fei Yunlai raised his hand, began to condense True Qi into a saber, and around him, there were faint traces of thunder exploding, “Watch closely, I’ll use it only three tis.”
Lin Rui’s gaze beca focused, carefully observing. And in the next instant, he saw a burst of purple thunder exploding before his eyes.
This thunder was impressively loud, dazzling purple, causing everyone to involuntarily close their eyes.
But it faded away quickly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
Just when the crowd was feeling puzzled, wondering if this so-called ‘Thunderclap Absolute Slash’ was just that, they saw that the breastplate of a sixth-level dummy in the distance had neatly split down the middle from a clean cut.
All their faces changed simultaneously.
“`
That was a sixth-tier training robot, the treasure of the Martial Arts Club run by Fang Ranran! It was said to have extrely high evasion and blocking capabilities, close to those of a real armored major. It could be used as a combat robot just by lifting the software restrictions.
However, when Fei Yunlai slashed through the air, the sixth-tier training robot couldn’t react in ti.
Yu Feicui’s face darkened slightly.
Fei Yunlai intentionally controlled his strength when he struck, and his slash only opened up the training robot’s front chest plate without damaging the robot’s core components.
But just that front chest plate was very expensive! It would probably cost 300,000 Federal dollars to repair.
“Got a bit rusty,” said Fei Yunlai as he continued swinging his saber. “Watch again!”
He then made two consecutive slashes, cutting off both legs of the training robot.
These two slashes had a different air about them than the previous one—it looked ordinary, just a simple swing of the saber, without any anomalies.
After that, Fei Yunlai dissipated his True Qi, his eyes filled with expectation as he looked at Lin Rui. “I don’t have much in the way of Thunder True Yuan, so I could only show you these three slashes. What do you think, did you see them clearly? Understand any of it?”
Everyone present could hear a hint of testing in Fei Yunlai’s words.
The armored admiral clearly wanted to gauge just how high Lin Rui’s comprehension was.
Lin Rui had heard it too, and he felt a headache coming on.
Fei Yunlai might be overestimating him a bit. Lin Rui now had a clear understanding of his own comprehension—it was at most similar to that of the Lin Rui from before, slightly stronger than Wang Sen but only to a limited extent.
He guessed he was above the common crowd but hanging at the tail end of the top ten.
Lin Rui had indeed grasped so things just now, but he was far from touching the essence of that slash.
Nevertheless, this was the price he had to pay for establishing a genius persona.
Lin Rui wanted others to see him as a genius to dispel any doubts about the swift progress of his martial arts, which ant he had to face these tests.
Just as Lin Rui was about to make an excuse, his expression suddenly changed and he called out to his soul ring spirit in his mind.
“Spirit of the ring, can I use my Soul Power points to deduce the essence of the Thunderclap Absolute Slash?”
He rembered that the spirit had previously ntioned Soul Power points could be used to deduce various martial arts.
The prompt read: ‘Thunderclap Absolute Slash’ is a mid-tier saber technique secret move, given an overall S rating by the Federation Martial Arts Association for its imnsely powerful force. To deduce the Thunderclap Absolute Slash to basic proficiency, 200 Soul Power points are needed; to reach beginner level, 400 Soul Power points are required—
Without hesitation, Lin Rui said: “Deduce to beginner level!”
He only had 400 Soul Power points left, enough only to deduce the ‘Thunderclap Absolute Slash’ to beginner level.
At that mont, Lin Rui’s consciousness experienced a change.
Unlike the previous occasions when he had copied skills, Lin Rui found his thought processes working at high speed under the influence of a mysterious force, with various thoughts and inspirations continuously popping up in his mind—like replaying a movie, it repeatedly showed high-definition fras of Fei Yunlai executing ‘Thunderclap Absolute Slash’.
A mont later, Lin Rui opened his eyes and said, “I’ve seen it clearly now, but I can only comprehend about ten percent of its mysteries.”
Hearing this, Fei Yunlai couldn’t help but feel a ripple inside, exchanging a glance with Yu Feicui.
This young fellow could understand his three slashes, which was quite impressive, but to learn them? Pure boasting without a draft.
