Chapter 24 Talent Copy Card!
After taking the potion, Chu Zhan's expression instantly became one of extreme pain, and his body began to tremble violently.
Chu Han knew this was the effect of the potion and did not interfere.
Soon, Chu Zhan spat out several mouthfuls of black blood in succession, his face turning even paler.
But after a while, Chu Han discovered that his father's aura was actually gradually stabilizing, no longer as erratic as before.
After waiting a bit longer, his father's breathing remained steady, and color began to return to his face.
"Is he better?"
Chu Han was overjoyed.
Although his father's aura was still a bit weaker than an average person's, the illness that had plagued him for many years seemed to have truly vanished!
"Dad, how do you feel?" Chu Han asked softly.
Chu Zhan took a slight breath, his voice still very weak: "I feel great. The pain that tortured me for over ten years has all disappeared; it really feels like a dream. Although I don't have much strength, it's already so much better. I haven't been able to breathe normally in all these years."
Chu Han felt a surge of joy and said excitedly, "Dad, that's wonderful! Once you've recovered, I'll find a way for you to become a Martial Artist again!"
"A Martial Artist? Hahaha, Dad believes you can do it!"
A glint of anticipation flashed in Chu Zhan's eyes as he nodded.
This treatment had also changed his mindset.
Previously, Chu Zhan had long since given up on his injuries, but now hope was rekindled.
It could be said that both his body and mind had been healed.
Having regained his mobility, Chu Zhan first walked around the room and then went downstairs with Chu Han's help.
Outside, the sun had not yet completely set, and Chu Zhan took a walk within the residential compound.
Just then, his mother, Zhang Meilan, returned from work.
When she saw Chu Zhan walking alone outside, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her; she didn't even notice the groceries she had bought falling to the ground.
Zhang Meilan asked in confusion, "Old Chu, what's going on? You can walk?"
Chu Zhan turned around and said softly to Zhang Meilan, "Meilan, I'm better. You've really worked hard all these years."
"Old Chu, you're really better! That's wonderful, that's wonderful..." Zhang Meilan immediately wept with joy.
Chu Han hurriedly said, "Mom, Dad took a gene potion and has cured his illness. He's just still a bit weak and needs time to recover slowly. You should be happy."
"Yes, Meilan, we should have a good celebration," Chu Zhan also comforted her.
"Alright, let's go home."
That evening, Chu Han brought out some Spirit Rice and Tusk Boar meat and prepared a sumptuous dinner.
The family had their happiest meal in over a decade.
All three felt a sense of relief.
The haze that had hung over the family for years had finally dissipated.
Seeing his parents' smiles, Chu Han felt that no matter how hard his cultivation was, it was all worth it.
His father getting rid of the illness was only the first step. He hadn't forgotten the debt owed by the Blue Eagle Martial Arts Hall, and he also wanted to restore his father's strength and make him a Martial Artist again.
Before that, he planned to move the family to a better environment so his mother wouldn't have to work anymore and could rest.
He still had over 700,000 federal currency on him, enough to improve their living conditions.
However, to better achieve his goals, he planned to first complete his own Martial Artist strength certification and obtain a Martial Artist certificate.
The simplest way to obtain a Martial Artist certificate is to prove that one can Cultivate Essence Qi.
If one cannot Cultivate Essence Qi, they must pass a practical combat assessment to prove their strength is at the Martial Artist level.
As long as one's strength is sufficient, they can also receive Martial Artist certification.
Chu Han prepared to directly participate in the Martial Artist practical combat assessment.
In terms of cultivation base, he was still far behind, but in terms of practical combat, he had already far exceeded the standard.
And the rewards for becoming a Martial Artist were incredibly generous.
In the Dragon Summer Federation, Martial Artists can receive various benefits and treatments, including subsidies for food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
A 1st Tier Martial Artist not only receives a monthly subsidy of 10,000 federal currency but can also apply to live in Martial Artist Residential Areas or Martial Artist apartments.
With Chu Han's current financial resources, he was still a bit short of buying a house in a Martial Artist Residential Area, but living in a Martial Artist apartment was no problem at all.
He planned to have his parents move into an apartment once he received his Martial Artist certification.
On the other hand, he also intended to participate in the Martial Arts Grand Examination as a Martial Artist.
After dinner, Chu Han went to the rooftop.
He took out the newly acquired C-Rank Martial Skill, Explosive Fist, and looked through it carefully by the dim light on the rooftop.
After flipping through it once, the contents of the Explosive Fist were already etched into his mind.
His own Basic Fist Technique had already reached the Realm of reaching perfection, giving him a profound Foundation in his understanding of fist techniques. With the enhancement of his Ten Thousand Times Talent, he grasped the essence and mysteries of the Explosive Fist almost instantly.
"The Explosive Fist is truly extraordinary!" Chu Han couldn't help but praise softly.
This fist technique was a Martial Skill no weaker than the Seven Forms of Army Breaking.
The most powerful aspect of the Explosive Fist was its extreme explosive power; at the entry level, it could unleash damage equivalent to six times one's normal punch force.
The core point lay in skillfully compressing internal force and Essence Qi, packing them onto the fist like explosives; at the moment of the punch, all the power would erupt at once, resulting in peerless might.
Furthermore, another feature of the Explosive Fist was the ability to strike the accumulated internal force into the target's interior to explode, causing even greater damage.
To a certain extent, it could ignore defenses.
Although he couldn't use Essence Qi yet, this Martial Skill was enough to give his unarmed strength a massive boost.
Chu Han took a deep breath and, following the force-channeling method of the Explosive Fist, slowly raised his right arm, continuously gathering his body's internal force into his right fist.
"Hah!"
Chu Han shouted loudly, and his right fist blasted forward like a cannonball, bringing with it a whistling sound of wind.
"Boom!"
The air in front of him exploded with a bang; under the eruption of Chu Han's punch, even the air became distorted.
This punch was stronger than any he had ever thrown before!
"It should be more than six times the punch force. The Explosive Fist is indeed powerful!"
Having had a taste of success, Chu Han didn't pause at all. He adjusted his breathing again, and the internal force within his body surged even more turbulently toward his right fist. This time, he prepared to push the power of the Explosive Fist even higher.
"Boom!"
Another punch was thrown, and this time the power had clearly increased significantly.
"The Explosive Fist pursues constant Breakthroughs of limits; with every Breakthrough, the power of the Explosive Fist becomes stronger!"
"With the Explosive Fist, my strength can reach the next level!"
Chu Han was very satisfied with this Martial Skill.
Currently on the rooftop, there was no equipment for him to test the power of the Martial Skill; otherwise, he would definitely have tested it personally.
After finishing his practice of the Explosive Fist, Chu Han also performed a few rounds of the Raging Wind Blade Technique.
This saber technique, learned from Shen Ping, also provided a significant boost to himself.
The Seven Forms of Army Breaking focused on explosive power, while the Raging Wind Blade Technique was more flexible and rapid; the two could complement each other.
After practicing the saber technique, Chu Han cultivated the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art for a while before ending his session.
Early the next morning, Chu Han performed his routine lottery draw.
Originally, having obtained a space ring yesterday, he thought his good luck had all run out.
But he didn't expect the item he drew today to be even more mind-blowing.
[talent replication card: After use, it can replicate one person's talent, up to S-Rank. The user must have physical contact with the person being replicated to use it.]
"It seems the Goddess of Luck hasn't abandoned me yet!"
Chu Han was extremely excited, already wondering what kind of talent would be best to replicate.
After all, this talent replication card almost allowed him to customize his own talent.
Whatever talent he liked, he could go and replicate it.
The only troublesome part was the need for physical contact with the person being replicated.
Among the talented individuals he had come into contact with, the one with the highest talent was Li Mengran's A-Rank Talent, the Ice Spirit Body.
"Could it be that I need to find an opportunity to get in contact with Li Mengran?"
"Better not."
Chu Han shook his head.
