Chapter 110: Credits in Hand, Chu Han is Gone!
The entire arena fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief as they looked at the figure on the stage.
One punch! Just one punch!
Could it be that the third-year Genius Xu Jie couldn't even withstand a single move in front of Chu Han?
Moreover, from start to finish, Chu Han didn't use any Martial Skill, relying purely on his raw Physical Body strength to utterly crush Xu Jie's full-power strike!
Just how formidable was this Physical Body?!
In the distance, Xu Jie lay slumped under a tree, his body still twitching uncontrollably.
This wretched sight made everyone's hearts tremble even more.
"Can I ask a timid question? Chu Han will be participating in the Freshman Grand Competition, right?"
"What's there to compete in? Just surrender immediately if you encounter Chu Han."
Although Chu Han's defeat of a Senior Student gave the freshmen a huge morale boost, the thought of having to compete against him in the future made them all wail in despair.
If even Xu Jie ended up this badly, they were even less of a match for Chu Han.
"Junior Chu Han is awesome! Truly worthy of being a student from our Body Tempering Academy!"
The Senior Student from the Body Tempering Academy who had bet 10,000 credits on Chu Han cheered loudly.
This time, he had earned a full 140,000 credits, so he naturally spared no effort in praising Chu Han.
The other students from the Body Tempering Academy also erupted in cheers.
Chu Han's performance had effectively given the Body Tempering Academy a huge boost in prestige, making them all share in the glory.
The audience below the stage instantly split into two factions.
Those students who had previously bet on Xu Jie winning had expressions as ugly as could be, their faces falling as they calculated their lost credits with heartache.
They had thought it was a surefire bet, never expecting to lose so completely.
Meanwhile, those who had bet on Chu Han were ecstatic, excitedly hugging each other and cheering.
Zhao Feiyu even jumped up, vigorously pumping his fists, a huge grin spreading across his face.
He had bet all his credits on Chu Han, instantly multiplying them more than tenfold, which would be more than enough for him to live very comfortably during his enrollment period.
Lin Baiwei and Su Qingyue also exchanged a smile, their eyes brimming with excitement.
They too had followed Zhao Feiyu's lead and bet their entire fortunes. This high-stakes gamble had left them both rolling in wealth.
As Chu Han stepped down from the stage, his Communication Wristband immediately received a notification of the credit transfer.
His bet of 9,100 credits had multiplied 15 times, netting him 136,500 credits, all of which Zhao Feiyu transferred to him.
Adding the 50,000 credits Xu Jie lost, his total credits instantly soared to 186,500!
This number already surpassed those of many third and fourth-year seniors. Even some core members of Battle Teams might not have this many credits saved up.
A faint smile curled at the corner of Chu Han's mouth. This windfall was more than enough for him to exchange for a massive amount of cultivation resources.
After this battle, Chu Han's reputation among the freshmen reached its absolute peak, making him a celebrity known throughout the entire university.
No one questioned his strength anymore. His combat power score of 699 and his feat of defeating a Fifth-Stage Extreme Martial Artist with one punch made everyone genuinely convinced.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Roar Battle Team's reputation suffered a significant blow due to this fight.
For a Battle Team's vice-captain to be one-punched by a freshman was truly a loss of face if word got out.
After being carried away by medical personnel, Xu Jie submitted a resignation application from the team not long after, clearly too ashamed to remain in the Dragon Roar Battle Team.
Ignoring the clamor from the outside world, Chu Han first returned to the Body Tempering Academy to repay the 10,000 credits he had borrowed from the academy earlier.
Upon leaving the Body Tempering Academy, Chu Han immediately felt the lightness of being debt-free.
Afterwards, he headed to the cultivation area.
He intended to enhance his Origin Power cultivation as much as possible before the Freshman Grand Competition.
His Physical Body strength and Mental Energy had already reached Grandmaster level, or even beyond.
Only his Origin Power cultivation was still stuck at the 3rd-Rank Middle Stage.
Therefore, raising his cultivation was now the top priority.
Increasing his cultivation could also maximize the improvement of his combat power.
The cultivation area at Capital Martial Arts University offered far more functionality than martial arts halls in the outside world.
Besides the basic Cultivation Chambers, there were also special Cultivation Chambers tailored to the characteristics and needs of Martial Artists.
For example, the most unique Gravity Room could simulate a high-gravity cultivation environment.
For instance, the Icy World Cultivation Chamber had extremely low temperatures and abundant ice attribute Origin Power, making it most suitable for ice attribute Martial Artists.
Or the Thunder Sea Cultivation Chamber, filled with violent lightning, a veritable Holy Land for Thunder Attribute Martial Artists.
This time, Chu Han chose the Scorching Hell Cultivation Chamber. Its interior simulated a high-temperature, fiery Hell environment with incredibly dense fire attribute Origin Power, making it an excellent place for cultivating fire attribute Cultivation Techniques.
Furthermore, thanks to his S-level Privileges, he didn't need to queue at all; he only needed to pay the corresponding credits.
The Scorching Hell Cultivation Chamber consumed 100 credits per hour.
Chu Han directly exchanged for 6 days of usage time, enough to last until the Freshman Grand Competition began.
Upon entering the Cultivation Chamber, the surrounding temperature soared abruptly.
"Even the edge of the Scorching Hell is over 1000 degrees."
If not a fire attribute Martial Artist, it would be very difficult to adapt to this environment.
Going deeper, everything around was burning flames, the temperature directly skyrocketing to 2000 degrees.
Chu Han went straight to the very center, where the temperature had already reached over 5000 degrees.
This temperature was already that of the sun's surface.
The concentration of fire attribute Origin Power in the surroundings was extremely high; even breathing could increase the Origin Power within his body.
Chu Han sat cross-legged, retrieving a large amount of lower-grade energy stones from his spatial storage and placing them around him.
Then, he activated the Nine Dragons True Fire Art.
Instantly, the fire attribute Origin Power within the Scorching Hell surged towards Chu Han like a tidal wave, being frantically absorbed by him.
The lower-grade energy stones beside him also simultaneously transformed into pure Origin Power, all absorbed by Chu Han together.
At this cultivation speed, the fire attribute Origin Power within his body grew rapidly, and his cultivation also advanced swiftly.
As days passed, Chu Han immersed himself in cultivation within the chamber, oblivious to everything outside.
During this time, he also conducted several System draws, but most of the rewards were things like energy stones and low-grade Medicinal Pills, nothing particularly satisfactory.
Still, something was better than nothing; they could just be used to assist his cultivation.
He also drew a Saber Technique Manual. Although its grade wasn't high, some of the techniques within could provide him with some reference.
On the evening of the third day, Chu Han's cultivation reached the third-Rank Late Stage.
On the morning of the fifth day, a powerful wave of fire attribute Origin Power suddenly erupted within the Cultivation Chamber.
Chu Han's eyes snapped open, a flash of brilliance within them. The Origin Power in his body had finally broken through the Bottleneck, successfully advancing to the 4th-Rank Early Stage!
He could clearly feel that the Origin Power after the advancement was more refined and more violent.
With a thought, a layer of flame-condensed Yuan Qi Armor draped over his body—this was a characteristic of reaching the 4th Rank!
There were less than two days left until the Freshman Grand Competition.
Chu Han continued his cultivation.
On the evening of the sixth day, just as his cultivation time was about to end, his cultivation successfully broke through to the 4th-Rank Middle Stage.
If he could raise it just one more minor Realm, he could take the breakthrough pill and directly advance to the 5th Rank.
Chu Han slowly withdrew his Origin Power and only then left the Cultivation Chamber.
After just over 6 days of cultivation time, his strength had risen another notch.
Although his cultivation was only at the 4th-Rank Middle Stage, in terms of the depth and thickness of his Origin Power, he had already reached the limit of a 6th-rank Martial Artist.
Leaving the cultivation area, he went to the cafeteria's buffet and had another huge meal.
He ate back all the food he had missed over the past few days in one go.
It was also a good way to reward his body.
The next day, Chu Han conducted his routine System draw; today's prizes were also quite ordinary.
After breakfast, he changed clothes and headed to the area where the Freshman Grand Competition was being held.
The Freshman Grand Competition was about to begin.
