Heroes of Marvel Chapter 1124: Promotion

Chapter 1124: Promotion

*After pondering the disappearance of the revival altar for a while,* Lin Rui ultimately chose to look at the disappearance of the bug in a positive light.

At least, Lin Rui believed that he could utilize the System Shopping Center quite effectively even without the bug’s guidance. Plus, he wouldn’t need to share his Reward Points with the bug anymore.

Consequently, Lin Rui didn’t hesitate much and spent the majority of his Reward Points to exchange for a more advanced continuation of the Training technique from the System Shopping Center.

According to the description of this Training technique, once practiced to the highest level, Lin Rui’s strength would reach the pinnacle of “breaking through the void with martial arts,” capable of moving mountains and seas with a wave of his hand. That was truly top-tier power, as found in various Eastern stories.

“I hope that day comes soon. Given the current development of the world’s storyline, my current strength really isn’t sufficient!” Carefully absorbing the newly acquired Training technique instructions within his mind, Lin Rui helplessly thought.

Subsequently, Lin Rui ceased to think about other matters and discarded all external influences, diving deep into profound meditation. Having exchanged for the more advanced Training technique, Lin Rui needed some time to upgrade his internal energy.

Lin Rui hoped that after upgrading this Training technique, his strength would increase significantly. In this way, he would have more confidence to partic.i.p.ate in the upcoming events.

*Humming” Buzzing~*

While Lin Rui appeared to be sleeping on his bed but was actually deeply immersed in practicing the Training technique, faint azure light emanated from every pore of his body, barely visible to the naked eye.

Quickly, the light filled the entire room. If J.A.R.V.I.S. had been monitoring Lin Rui’s room at that moment, it would have noticed that the energy level in Lin Rui’s room had reached Level Three and was progressing toward being more advanced.

“Hmm hmm~~ Hmm~~” Downstairs, Lin Rui’s father, Lin Hai, was bustling in the kitchen, humming a tune while preparing dishes.

Having his son come home for a visit was a rare occasion, especially since he mentioned that his work with Mr. Stark was temporarily on hold. This time, he could stay at home for a longer period, which made both Lin Hai and Mary very happy.

Thus, Lin Hai had decided not to go to work but instead stayed at home, cooking delicious meals for his son.

Although his son’s life seemed to be exceptionally charmed after he entered high school – getting noticed by Iron Man, Tony Stark, and working at Stark Industries – Lin Hai and Mary, after the initial delight and pride, often missed their son’s presence.

After all, children from other families typically start to distance themselves from their parents after entering college, but Lin Rui had done so three years early.

Speaking of which, in just two months, Lin Rui would be entering his second year of high school. Of course, given Lin Rui’s current situation, whether he attended school or not was no longer of great importance. Both Lin Hai and Mary supported Lin Rui’s choices; after all, he needed to shape his own life.

*Ding~*

Just as Lin Hai was humming a tune and cooking in the kitchen, the sound of a doorbell rang from the entrance. Poking his head out from the kitchen, Lin Hai saw a familiar figure standing outside, peering in.

“Tom! The door’s not locked, come on in! Jackson’s upstairs sleeping. Uncle Lin is cooking – you don’t need to go home, just eat here!” Seeing that figure, Lin Hai waved a spatula in his hand and shouted loudly.

“Alright, Uncle Lin!” Tom, outside the door, heard Lin Hai’s voice and answered before entering.

Subsequently, Tom went straight upstairs. Pa.s.sing through the kitchen, Tom greeted Lin Hai, “Uncle Lin, I’m heading upstairs.”

“Sure, go ahead!”

*Tap Tap Tap~*

“Tom has been through a lot too! But now he’s finally recovered, and he did help our Jackson.” Hearing Tom’s footsteps heading upstairs, Lin Hai continued cooking and couldn’t help but think.

*Bang!*

However, just as Lin Hai finished cooking two dishes downstairs, there suddenly came a loud crash from upstairs. It was as if something had slammed forcefully against the wall, causing the entire house to tremble slightly.

Hearing this noise, Lin Hai immediately became anxious, grabbing the spatula and rus.h.i.+ng out of the kitchen. “Jackson! Tom! What happened?!”

Shouting, Lin Hai was about to rush upstairs. But just as he was about to climb the stairs, above him, Tom’s head appeared.

“Uncle Lin, it’s okay. I accidentally knocked over the wardrobe while playing with Jackson. We’re fine, don’t worry,” Tom explained quickly as he saw Lin Hai heading upstairs.

“The wardrobe fell over? You guys didn’t fight, did you?” Hearing Tom’s explanation, Lin Hai slowed his steps and asked skeptically.

Although boys often play around and roughhouse, knocking over a wardrobe was no ordinary play. Judging from their body sizes, Tom was much stronger and more muscular than Lin Rui, making Lin Hai somewhat worried about his son. Thus, he didn’t stop his steps.

“Dad! It’s okay, Tom and I were really just playing. I’ve already propped the wardrobe back up!” Just as Tom anxiously watched Lin Hai come up step by step, Lin Rui’s voice came from his room, confirming that everything was indeed fine.

“Alright then, I won’t disturb you two young men playing! Just be careful and don’t break anything again!” Upon hearing his son’s words, Lin Hai finally felt relieved. He gave this reminder before turning around and heading downstairs.

*Exhale~*

Seeing Lin Hai turn around and head downstairs, Tom, who was leaning against the staircase with his head sticking out, heaved a long sigh of relief. He then placed his hand over his chest, slowly crouching down, his face showing a slight expression of pain.

After crouching on the staircase for a few seconds, Tom slowly stood up and then walked toward Lin Rui’s room. However, this time, Tom’s steps were genuinely cautious and careful, as if Lin Rui’s room concealed some enormous danger.

When Tom reached the doorway of Lin Rui’s room, he paused his steps. The door wasn’t tightly shut; there was a small gap left, which Tom had just opened. However, Tom only opened it slightly, and then a powerful force surged out from the room, directly pus.h.i.+ng him out before cras.h.i.+ng into the corridor wall.

The loud crash earlier wasn’t the wardrobe falling – it was the sound of Tom being slammed against the wall.

“Jackson?” Standing at the doorway of Lin Rui’s room, Tom cautiously called out.

Although Lin Rui’s voice had clearly come from inside the room just now, there was now no sound. Moreover, there was an overwhelming force emanating from Lin Rui’s room, a force that Lin Rui couldn’t possibly be unaware of.

Hence, Tom was now concerned that something might have happened to Lin Rui inside the room. Perhaps he was possessed by some malevolent force or something of the sort. Tom was aware of the force he had felt earlier; it was a power unique to Lin Rui.
