Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

At this moment, Yu Feicui's video projection also appeared in the office.

She hadn't participated in the post-battle review meeting because she went with Guan Biran to negotiate with Lin Rui.

The exchange battle had just ended when several streaming platforms couldn't wait to express their desire to sign Lin Rui, inviting him to join their platforms exclusively.

Currently, they were offering signing bonuses up to tens of millions of Federation dollars and were discussing the specific terms.

The two, representing the talent agency, were tasked with securing the best terms for Lin Rui and also looking after the interests of Sky Blue Group.

If it were just about money, Sky Blue Group could supply that to Lin Rui on their own; what they wanted was exposure, to advertise their products as widely as possible.

"General Manager Fang, you saw the new lineup submission from Tianjing Martial Arts University, right?"

"I saw it!" Fang Ranran ground her teeth, "A bunch of spineless cowards."

"Oh?" Fei Yunlai was shocked, "Does Tianjing Martial Arts University dare to avoid battle? Aren't they afraid of being blasted by their fans? Heavenly Sword Group wouldn't allow them to do that either, would they?"

At present, the members of Tianjing Martial Arts University each have millions of fans online; they can't afford the cost of avoiding battle.

Once a martial arts star is labeled a coward, they're basically finished—they can't mix in the martial arts scene anymore.

It's the same for Sky Sword Prosthetic Company; it would greatly impact the brand of Sky Sword Prosthetic.

"They haven't avoided battle, they've just changed the main and deputy general in their lineup, replacing them with two S-ranked seniors."

Fang Ranran huffed, "They wish!"

Fei Yunlai instantly understood what was going on; Tianjing Martial Arts University planned to use two unimportant team members to trick Lin Rui into drawing his sword!

This had no impact on 'Devil Sword' Baili Wang and 'Devil Hand' Zhen Xiaoxiao, as they were in the secondary and leading positions.

Given the strength displayed by Mingde University's Martial Arts Society, they couldn't reach Lin Rui.

"Since they've changed their lineup, we'll change ours too. Lin Rui won't be competing tomorrow."

Yu Feicui turned towards Wang Sen, "Wang Sen, didn't you get an S+ prosthetic 'Xuanwu Marrow Crystal' implanted by Professor Sima last night? Tomorrow you'll step in as the vanguard."

"Me?" Wang Sen was extremely surprised, pointing to his own nose.

He had received two doses of True Condense potion the day before yesterday, which greatly enhanced his spiritual power, so he immediately got the 'Xuanwu Marrow Crystal' implanted.

This S+ prosthetic not only matched several intermediate martial skills he was learning, but also had a high compatibility with the super king serum he had newly obtained.

The problem was that he was currently only a lieutenant, and his prosthetic was rated at A.

Wang Sen scratched his head, "I can fight, but—"

He just feared embarrassing the Martial Arts Society by getting beaten in one move.

Yu Feicui stayed silent, simply looking at Fei Yunlai.

Seeing this, Fei Yunlai touched his nose and said, "You're learning the Ice Blood Palm and the Ice Blood Cold Wind Sword, right? I know a master in this area. Alright, leave it to me; holding out for 20 bouts against 'Devil Hand' Zhen Xiaoxiao tomorrow shouldn't be too difficult."

He patted Wang Sen's shoulder, signaling the husky boy to follow him out.

Lin Rui watched the two leave and was thinking that he didn't need to compete tomorrow, so he might as well return to the sleep chamber to descend upon Tianji Star, when suddenly Yu Feicui sent him another private message.

Heart of Jade (Yu Feicui): Lin Rui, I've been in touch with several video platforms, and their current offers all seem genuine. However, there are some differences in the specific contract terms. Here are their preliminary proposals. Take a look and see which terms you find most satisfying, and I'll negotiate with them in more detail.

Shortly after, Lin Rui received several files. He opened the first one and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Good grief, a signing bonus of 26 million Federation dollars—

The rest of the offers were around the same range, with prices between 20 to 30 million. Tianhuan Video Platform offered the highest, at 35 million.

The contract details varied greatly too; some platforms offered a high price but demanded a longer exclusivity period. Others, while offering less, promised to drive more traffic and increase potential revenue.

Lin Rui scrutinized these contracts, hesitant and unable to decide immediately.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): It seems quite complicated. Do you have any suggestions, Sister Feicui?

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): I suggest you choose the one with the lowest commission on goods-sold, and the more signing money, the better, with the shorter contract term, the better.

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): All this talk about driving traffic is fake. They have algorithms in control internally. The contracts we sign can hardly bind them. On the contrary, as long as you, Lin Rui, are strong enough and popular enough, and the content you produce is of high quality, traffic can come naturally. With the Sky Blue Group backing you, you don't need to rely too much on them.

Lin Rui thought there was only one choice left, Tianhuan Video Network.

35 million federal coins, he should be able to negotiate for more, plus the 8 million he currently has, he could buy a lot of stuff this time.

The rate of traffic revenue offered by the Tianhuan Video Network also seemed very sincere. Lin Rui calculated that, based on two-minute videos, about 10,000 clicks could bring in 30 federal coins.

In addition, Tianhuan Video Network also offered a high commission rate for paid instructional videos.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Then let's go with this one. Sister Feicui, please help me negotiate. Of course, if any of the other companies could offer better terms, that would be even better.

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): Okay, I also think Tianhuan Video has more sincerity. There's also another matter. The Federal Martial Arts Association has contacted me. They have confirmed that your move 'Yang Pulling Slash' involves abyss concepts. Besides, in the entire Federation, only you have mastered it; it's an exclusive legacy.

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): To prevent the loss of this technique, they want to make a backup of 'Yang Pulling Slash' and are asking if you are willing and if you have any reservations. If you agree, you'll have to go to the city hall to store the practice method in the deepest level of the Martial Arts Association Tower, the 'Divine Pivot'. They will also give your move a grading.

Lin Rui looked at the message and took a moment to ponder.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Making a backup is fine, but I'm worried about leaks. Also, I heard there is a reward, right?

As he knew, the Martial Arts Association had a rule like this. To prevent powerful martial arts from being lost due to the death of their practitioners, the Martial Arts Association established the 'Divine Pivot' five hundred years ago, inviting masters of these martial arts to make backups.

The inheritance of backed-up martial arts is determined by wills and federal inheritance laws. The Martial Arts Association does not interfere; they simply preserve the treasures of human martial arts and ensure they are not lost due to individual factors.

Lin Rui did not want his technique to be lost.

He had a bit of self-awareness, knowing his situation was actually quite dangerous, and the slightest misstep could be fatal.

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): It's impossible for there to be leaks. They prepare a separate safe for each backed-up martial art, accessible only by you and your heir. As for the security level of the 'Divine Pivot', it is the highest in the entire Federation, an S9. The reward will be based on the level of your secret technique. I think your 'Yang Pulling Slash' will definitely be rated SS+ or maybe even SSS, earning you the Purple Gold Diamond Badge. I don't need to tell you its value; it will be of great help to you.

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): Also, you need to prepare some video material, including instruction for junior and intermediate martial arts, and some tips for increasing sword-drawing speed. I know you're usually busy, so record more when you have time. Once we have a contract with the video network, we'll organize a team to manage your account using these materials.

Heart of Feicui (Yu Feicui): I anticipate that your popularity will continue to surge in the coming days. It's an excellent opportunity for fanbase growth, so please put in a bit more effort these next few days.

Instead of feeling troubled after reading the message, Lin Rui felt energized and full of fighting spirit.

Shooting some videos to earn 35 million seemed much simpler and more relaxing than capturing demons.

Besides, once he built up his fanbase, making money would be very easy. It's a path paved with gold and bright prospects.

At that moment, he received a message from his sister, Lin Xi.

End of Summer's Shallow Thoughts (Lin Xi): Bro! Congratulations, I saw the news. Those two slashes were so sharp! I bet you could take down the entire Tianjing Martial University alone.

End of Summer's Shallow Thoughts (Lin Xi): Also, my alternate body is ready. It will arrive at Tian Ji Star in half a day. Professor Sima said my case is special. He must customize it himself for the first descent, so I still have to stay in the sleep pod for now.

She sent a crying emoji.

End of Summer's Shallow Thoughts (Lin Xi): I chose the identity of the young miss from the Zhou family in the eastern part of Wangcheng County, the one you marked as the most valuable. After I descend, I'll adapt by myself first. Come find me when you guys are free.

Reading this, Lin Rui's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression becoming strange.

The young miss from the Zhou family in the eastern part of the county? The value of this identity was indeed extremely high, but high rewards often mean high risks.

Moreover, when he gave Lin Xi the advice, it was over ten days ago; the risks associated with this identity would only have increased by now.

He hoped his sister could withstand this surprise—

Lin Rui also took the opportunity to clear out his private chat system. Since the battle ended, at least fifty people had messaged him in his address book, most of whom were his teachers and classmates. Additionally, over a hundred people had sent him friend requests.

Lin Rui casually browsed through them and then 'hmm'—his eyebrows raised at one name.

"Stone Rose?"

What caught his attention was the username's note—Future Sci-Tech University, Shi Yan!
