Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Thunderclap Absolute Slash (Seeking Monthly Votes)
“A grasp of one-tenth?” Fei Yunlai placed his hands behind his back, his interest intensifying, “Then can you actually perform it?”
He thought Lin Rui was boasting beyond his capabilities.
Initially, when his cultivation had reached the rank of a middle officer in the martial armor, it took him four hours just to grasp the basics of this move.
Lin Rui understood it after only seeing three slashes? Impossible!
“Should I give it a try?” Lin Rui gripped the saber at his waist, lost in thought.
He carefully reviewed what he had just comprehended, integrating the insights, pondering over the path and release of this saber technique.
...
A mont later, the crowd saw a dazzling display of purple light before them.
These purple lights all originated from the thunderous slash Lin Rui unleashed with his saber, which was also fleeting, vanishing without a trace in an instant.
However, in the next mont, the pillar at the southeast corner of the platform, about ten ters in front of Lin Rui, suddenly had a deep saber mark slashed into it, a full foot in depth.
This corner pillar of the platform was built to withstand the battles of middle officer level martial cultivators; its material was incredibly sturdy, yet now it had been silently slashed by Lin Rui to a depth of one foot.
“Thunderclap Absolute Slash!” Yu Feicui exclaid in shock.
Lin Rui had indeed perford it!
The expressions of the others below the platform varied.
Wang Sen felt simple admiration, while Lin Xi’s eyes were filled with bewildernt.
Lin Rui had always been talented, but never to such an extent.
Lin Xi couldn’t help but wonder, what exactly had happened to her brother after his head was smashed?
“Impressive!” Nolan Wei uttered a light praise, his eyes full of mockery as he glanced at Lu Fang beside him, “If you’re not convinced, you can go challenge him.”
This guy was lucky to have witnessed Lin Rui’s slash, otherwise, he would have been severely discouraged.
Lu Fang remained silent.
He had already challenged Lin Rui once before, yet the slash Lin Rui displayed today indeed shook his courage to challenge him again.
Zhao Yan, standing nearby, clenched his fists tightly, his face flushing.
What a Thunderclap Absolute Slash!
This junior of his possessed hall-of-fa level talent!
Then there was still hope for him, Zhao Yan, to enter the final rounds of the university martial arts league!
It was probably not possible this year, but next year, before his graduation, Mingde University had great chances of achieving results!
Fei Yunlai’s expression stiffened slightly, his ntal defenses slightly shattered.
Was this the talent of a hall-of-fa level? To just need a glance to master a mid-level secret saber technique with an S comprehensive rating?
Fei Yunlai then took a deep breath.
Actually, when he first learned this technique, he had no basis in the Red Thunder Saber or the Thunderfire Stance.
He also hadn’t learned the Purple Radiance Saber or the Thunder Extre Divine Glow Stance, so the gap in comprehension between them was not that great, definitely not that great.
“Not bad!”
Fei Yunlai’s expression returned to normal, “You learn quickly, and your talent is high. Among the heroes of this world that I have seen, you can at least be ranked in the top ten. Keep practicing this move diligently, and once you master this ultimate technique, even the top talents a realm higher than you might not be able to defeat you.”
Yu Feicui also jumped onto the platform, “Senior Fei, what do you think of our martial arts club?”
“It’s decent, brimming with talent, with a promising future. Let these first years grow for another year, and entering the championship tournant at the end of next season shouldn’t be a problem.”
Fei Yunlai then smiled and asked, “Feicui, do you really want to help you contact Tianjing Martial University and Future Science University? To be honest, you’re quite inferior to them, even behind their reserve teams.”
“I just want their reserve teams to co and practice with us,” said Yu Feicui with a wry smile. “Brother, you should be able to see where our greatest deficiency lies.”
“Your greatest deficiency is your real combat experience,” Fei Yunlai nodded. “I understand. These two universities should give so face, and besides, your training conditions here are quite good. However, if your people get terribly bullied by them, don’t bla , especially those two youngsters. They are famously arrogant and will undoubtedly not give you any face.”
Lin Rui listened to their conversation without the slightest ripple in his heart.
The expressions of Zhao Yan and Nolan Wei below the stage grew increasingly solemn.
Tianjing Martial University was in the first base city, while Future Science University was a famous school in the second base city.
These two universities are the perennial powerhouses of the Tianji Star Martial Arts Tournant, consistently ranking in the top three of the postseason championships!
Rumors have it that their reserve teams could even outperform many of the championship-level teams, and they enjoy significant popularity online.
“Senior, just go ahead and contact them. Our people can handle it.”
Yu Feicui then said to the crowd below the stage, “That’s all for today. Dismiss for now, but Lin Rui and Wang Sen, you two stay behind. Senior Fei ca today mainly to see you. He needs to discuss sothing with both of you concerning Professor Han, your teacher.”
When Lin Rui first heard Yu Feicui asking them to stay behind, he wondered if Fei Yunlai was going to give them so private coaching?
But after hearing the latter part of her statent, he turned his head and exchanged a glance with Wang Sen.
Sothing to do with Professor Han?
The problem was that their association with Professor Han was only in na. Since their arrival in the alternate reality, they hadn’t been in contact.
Back in Tianji Star, this was because the quantum communication relay had been destroyed. When they returned to the Ninth Base, they sent ssages in the group but received no response.
After everyone had left, Yu Feicui crossed her arms and asked with curiosity, “Senior Fei seems to think quite highly of Wang Sen, doesn’t he?”
Wang Sen’s expression shifted; he had noticed that this honorary marshal’s attitude toward him was different from his attitude toward others.
“I see myself in this kid. He’s struggled up from the bottom, not an easy feat. Keep it up! I’m rooting for you.”
Fei Yunlai offered Wang Sen a slight smile and gave him a thumbs up, “Don’t be nervous, it’s not any big deal. I was looking into Professor Han’s situation before, and I know you two have been through bachelor’s to doctoral studies with him, so your alternate selves should currently be near Wang City, right?”
Seeing Lin Rui hesitantly nodding, Fei Yunlai continued, “I suppose you have a special way of contacting your teacher? I need you to pass on a ssage to Professor Han as soon as possible. Eight characters – ‘The situation is wrong, plans on hold!’ You can also add that it’s a trap.”
Yu Feicui looked startled, “For just this matter, you can’t directly inform Professor Han?”
She knew that Fei Yunlai was seeking out Lin Rui for a reason, but she didn’t know what it was.
“No can do,” Fei Yunlai said with a wry smile. “Professor Han and his students are all in their alternate selves right now, unable to see my ssages. And then there’s the issue that the quantum communication relay in Sha State has been destroyed. Oh, another thing—”
He clicked his tongue and lanted, “It’s quite lively over there in Sha State. Just in these last few days, the governor of Sha State destroyed three of the military’s starships and killed over sixty of the military’s alternate reality travelers. The military, unable to tolerate it anymore, retaliated by flattening the royal cities of three jurisdictions in Sha State, serving as a ruthless payback.
Now both sides are seeing red, and it looks like a full-scale war is imminent. Many companies’ alternate reality teams have also been forcibly conscripted by the military under the guise of reservists, ready to be deployed into battle at any ti.”
On hearing this, Lin Rui raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Wang City of the Royal Administration, actually flattened by the federal military? The governor of Sha State has destroyed three of their starships and killed more than sixty alternate reality travelers? Both parties have now crossed each other’s red lines, indeed signaling the brink of a major war.
As for passing on the ssage that Fei Yunlai requested, Lin Rui felt it was fairly straightforward.
Brother Li Li had given them several thods to contact Han’s team, and the simplest of them was rely to leave a ssage on the wall across from the Yunlai Inn in their county town.
Yu Feicui, however, wore a grave expression, “Is what you speak of really true, Senior Brother? Is the situation over there so dangerous?”
The jurisdiction of Wang City where Lin Rui and the others were situated wasn’t far from Sha State City.
“Extrely dangerous, a great war is on the verge of breaking out.”
Fei Yunlai noticed Yu Feicui’s concern and understood her intent. He smiled casually, “Are you worried about Lin Rui and the rest? They should be fine. They’ve only just arrived in their alternate selves. As long as they haven’t exposed their identities and stay out of trouble, there shouldn’t be much of a problem. The governnt of the Great Song won’t bother to expend so much effort to look for them, and the military won’t expect much from these rookies. Besides, I will be heading to Wang City myself soon to et with Professor Han. If there’s a chance, I might even give his and Wang Sen’s alternates a little opportunity.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Feicui finally relaxed.
Lin Rui’s expression, on the other hand, was sowhat odd.
He was now a deputy arrest officer and couldn’t exactly stay out of trouble.
No, that’s not right. He was only executing demons and banishing evils, upholding local security—duties of a deputy arrest officer. This should still be within the realm of ‘keeping out of trouble,’ right?
However, in the next few days, it was ti for him to focus all his ti and energy on the alternates in Tianji Star.
As for the opportunity that Fei Yunlai had ntioned, Lin Rui didn’t take it to heart. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t reveal his alternate identity to anyone.
It was at this mont that Lin Rui received a ssage from Yu Feicui in the group.
Erald Heart (Yu Feicui): Just pass on the ssage to him. There’s no need to et him in Tianji Star. His alternate is a top-wanted fugitive on the imperial list, getting involved with him is seeking death.
Lin Rui and Wang Sen imdiately regarded Fei Yunlai with newfound respect. This honorary marshal was listed on the imperial wanted chart and was still able to return lively to his original body.
Unaware of their private conversation, Fei Yunlai said, “I’ve already made contact, the coaches from Tianjing Martial University and Future Science and Technology University have agreed. They will bring their teams to stay for a few days. You, Yu Feicui, will arrange the details with them.”
Then, with a smile, he patted Lin Rui’s shoulder, “Give it your all, Lin Rui. There are a couple of prodigious talents in the team this ti, and two of them are about your age but have already advanced to refining their blood. They are very interested in you, so don’t lose too badly when the ti cos.”
Fei Yunlai’s tone was sowhat schadenfreude.
Lin Rui had sowhat caught him off guard earlier, but there were plenty of geniuses in the world with illogical talents who were also going to give Lin Rui a taste of what a true hall-level shock was.
