Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1132: Strength Promotion

…

Lin Rui and Tom took a brief stroll near the neighborhood before heading back, and soon after, Tom went home as well. Knowing that there were no pressing matters on Lin Rui’s end, Tom’s worries were put to rest.

Not long after Tom returned home, Lin Rui quietly slipped out of his room’s window in the depths of the night, disappearing into the darkness.

Lin Rui, having slipped away from home, quickly found an open area and halted his steps. Surveying his surroundings, he walked silently to the center of the abandoned factory’s ground.

After spending a significant amount of Reward Points to exchange for a more advanced Training technique, and dedicating some time to upgrading it, the internal energy within Lin Rui had undergone a substantial transformation.

“This spot should be good…” Standing in the pitch-black center of the clearing, Lin Rui muttered to himself.

Within Lin Rui’s Insight Technique, there was no one nearby, and there were no surveillance devices. Of course, Lin Rui had also meticulously checked for any small mechanical entities that might be present, mindful of his experience with the Ant-Man incident.

After confirming that no one would disturb or monitor him, Lin Rui silently closed his eyes. Gradually, a unique aura emanated from his body; it was the distinctive presence of Lin Rui’s practiced internal energy.

However, compared to before, the aura he was releasing now was more contained yet denser and more substantial.

“Now, let’s directly see what changes the upgraded internal energy brings!” Sensing the changes in the aura he was emitting, Lin Rui’s closed eyes instantly snapped open as he uttered a low cry.

Buzz!

As Lin Rui opened his eyes and let out the cry, a surge of deep azure light burst forth from him. Instantly, it enveloped an area within a radius of about thirty meters centered around him.

To quickly test the changes in his upgraded internal energy, Lin Rui directly employed his Internal Energy Field technique. After all, this was the most advanced application of his internal energy at his current stage.

If Lin Rui had used the Internal Energy Field during his battle with Thor, the outcome would have been much harder to predict. However, at that time, there was no need for Lin Rui to resort to the Internal Energy Field, as Thor had clearly held back.

Having activated the Internal Energy Field in an instant, the air within the circular area of several dozen meters, centered around Lin Rui, seemed to freeze in time. Follow current s on NoᴠelFɪre.net

The tiny specks of dust that had been floating in the air were suspended by the internal energy, and the entire area within the field was under Lin Rui’s control. It could be said that within the field, Lin Rui’s power was several times greater than without it.

At this moment, if someone were to attempt to ambush Lin Rui, whether through firepower, energy attacks, or special magic, their efforts would be intercepted upon contact with the field’s boundary. Even if an attack managed to penetrate the field’s interior, it would rapidly weaken within the field and eventually pose no threat to Lin Rui.

Of course, even the toughest turtle shell could be shattered, and Lin Rui’s Internal Energy Field wasn’t invincible. When an attack’s strength exceeded Lin Rui’s by a significant margin, the field would struggle to withstand it.

However, the field wasn’t solely a defensive maneuver; its primary function was to swiftly take action and suppress enemies at close range, allowing Lin Rui to gain an advantage.

“My strength should be enhanced by about three times…” Sensing his absolute control over the area enveloped by the Internal Energy Field, Lin Rui’s eyes sparkled with azure light as he whispered.

It turned out that Lin Rui’s strength had experienced significant growth after the Dark Elf invasion of Asgard. Now, after upgrading his Training technique, his internal energy had experienced a substantial leap in essence.

Consequently, his overall strength had improved significantly once again. If the current Lin Rui were to fight Thor now, he believed that he could defeat Thor within a few moves without even resorting to the Internal Energy Field.

After mumbling to himself, Lin Rui’s right hand flickered at his waist, producing a piece of alloy in his hand. He promptly threw it outward. Although Lin Rui was well aware of the enhancement the Internal Energy Field received after his Training technique was upgraded, a small test was still needed.

…

The alloy chunk tossed casually by Lin Rui glided gracefully before him in a parabolic arc. It seemed to sink into an invisible quagmire, coming to a halt in mid-air about a meter away from Lin Rui.

Then, without any apparent change to the field, the roughly five to six centimeters thick alloy rapidly flattened, as if it were being pressed by a hydraulic press.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Under immense pressure, the alloy chunk was continuously compressed, emitting a series of cracking sounds. However, due to the pervasive pressure within the field, it remained controlled in place, unable to explode.

Several seconds later, the once squared alloy chunk had transformed into a thin sheet of metal, adorned with a dozen or so cracks. With a resounding thud, the thin metal sheet shattered into several pieces, flying outwards in all directions. Yet, these fragments came to a stop again before they could travel even a meter away.

“Well, the suppression effect is quite satisfactory. If an ordinary person were enveloped by my field, I wouldn’t even need to intervene. However, I wouldn’t release the field upon regular individuals either.” Witnessing the alloy transforms and shatter within the field’s suppression, Lin Rui continued to mumble.

The field’s suppressive power was indeed potent. However, if Lin Rui had to rely solely on the field, then his adversaries must be extraordinarily formidable. Perhaps the suppressive force wouldn’t pose a deadly threat to them.

Exhaling deeply, Lin Rui contemplated, “Let’s examine other aspects…”

After testing the upgraded strength of the field, Lin Rui swiftly withdrew it, intending to assess other changes.

During that same evening, the New York Seismic Bureau detected multiple instances of minor seismic activity originating from the same direction. These tremors seemed to originate from a shallow depth, resembling the vibrations caused by a giant continuously striking the ground.

When the Seismic Bureau and other investigators went to examine the unusual activity in that area due to the anomaly they sensed, all they found was a massive, deep pit in the center of the vacant space of the abandoned factory. Nothing else seemed amiss.

…

While Lin Rui was largely letting go of his thoughts about participating in the battle between Sorcerers and Dormammu, in the realm invisible to ordinary people, the Sorcerers and the Zealots were already engaged in a series of battles.

The three major protective Sanctums had been breached. Although Kaecilius subsequently led the Zealots to retreat, repairing the three massive protective magical formations was not a task that could be accomplished quickly.

Taking advantage of the turmoil within the Sorcerer’s ranks as the three major Sanctums were breached, Kaecilius was not idle. With the Zealots, he continued to launch attacks against sorcerers situated all around the world, aiming to deal them the most significant blow possible.
