Chapter 46 Grandmaster's Aura! Chu Han's Teacher?
After the transaction was completed, the three young people, Chu Han, Zhao Feiyu, and Lin Baiwei, chatted a lot more.
However, most of the time Lin Baiwei was asking questions, and Chu Han was responsible for answering.
Suddenly, Chu Han discovered that his Sea of Consciousness was being invaded by a burst of Mental Energy.
He immediately locked onto the source of this Mental Energy and discovered that the one probing him was actually Lin Baiwei's teacher!
Elder Fan was also surprised to be discovered by Chu Han; he hadn't expected his mental probe to be noticed by a junior.
“He has actually cultivated Mental Energy? This little fellow is hiding quite a bit, isn't he?”
Elder Fan thought to himself, then immediately said to Chu Han, "Chu Han, your strength is quite good. Let me test you."
“Oh? How does Senior wish to test me?” Chu Han was very curious, not knowing what the other party intended.
Zhao Tianlong quickly chimed in, "Chu Han, Elder Fan wants to test your talent. This is a great opportunity!"
Hearing this, Chu Han knew the other party meant well and quickly said, "Then I shall trouble Senior."
Elder Fan nodded, and then his Aura suddenly changed, causing the entire office to be enveloped in it.
Beside him, Zhao Tianlong was instantly shocked: “This is Grandmaster Pressure!”
Even as a 6th-rank Martial Artist, he felt immense pressure, let alone the others.
Lin Baiwei and Zhao Feiyu were pinned down and unable to move, and while Chu Han could still move, it was extremely difficult.
“Is this the power of a Grandmaster?”
Chu Han roared inwardly, struggling to resist this pressure.
“Not bad.”
Elder Fan nodded and removed the pressure from the others, leaving only Chu Han to endure it.
“Let me see where your limit is.”
As soon as Elder Fan finished speaking, Chu Han felt the pressure on him increase several times over.
It was as if a mountain were pressing down on him, causing the bones throughout his body to groan under the unbearable weight.
But he still didn't give in, forcefully lifting his head with a look of determination to face death.
“Hmm? You can still hold on?”
A hint of surprise flashed in Elder Fan's eyes, and the pressure he released suddenly intensified.
“This pressure can directly crush a Third-Tier Martial Artist to death, and a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist would be instantly heavily injured.”
Chu Han's knees hit the floor with a "thud," and the solid wood floor instantly cracked into a spiderweb pattern, with his knees even sinking into it.
The pressure this time was extremely strong; in an instant, cracks began to appear in Chu Han's bones, blood started seeping from his skin, and even breathing became difficult.
He could feel that his body was nearing its limit. If he held on any longer, his Physical Body might truly collapse.
“Brother Han, why don't you give up!” Zhao Feiyu couldn't help but shout, his face full of worry.
Lin Baiwei was also startled and quickly urged, “Master, do you want to kill Chu Han?”
Zhao Tianlong shook his head and didn't stop it; with his strength, he could see that Chu Han hadn't given up yet.
A look of resolve flashed in Chu Han's eyes as he desperately resisted the pressure.
Ignoring the excruciating pain in his body, he slowly adjusted his posture. Using the pressure, he struck a bizarre pose—it was the first posture of the second layer of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art!
To the others, this posture looked extremely bizarre, and they all thought his body had been crushed.
But in the next moment, the Aura on Chu Han's body suddenly grew stronger, and the surrounding Yuanqi began continuously pouring into his body.
His body actually began to actively absorb the minute energy within the pressure, converting it into raw materials for tempering his Physical Body.
“This is! He's using Grandmaster Pressure to Cultivate? What kind of body forging method is this?”
Elder Fan's eyes were filled with surprise, along with a hint of delight: “Are all people who like Body Refining so reckless with their lives? I actually see the shadow of that old fellow in this little guy.”
Instead of withdrawing the pressure, he increased the intensity once more.
This time, the pressure reached the limit of a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist!
But this time, Chu Han's body didn't change at all; he simply shifted into a new posture.
His hair stood on end, and countless blood streaks cracked open on his body, but not a single drop of blood flowed out.
“His flesh and bones are actually undergoing continuous destruction and reorganization under the pressure, becoming even more compact and resilient!”
Elder Fan watched Chu Han's changes the entire time, his shock deepening.
He saw Chu Han's breathing gradually become steady, and his movements in changing postures were incredibly fluid; he was actually adapting to the pressure bit by bit.
When all the postures of the second style of the Nine Heavens Body Forging Art were completed, the injuries on Chu Han's body had fully recovered, and he had become even stronger.
“Enough.” Seeing this, Elder Fan withdrew the pressure.
The pressure on Chu Han vanished abruptly, and he suddenly erupted with an astonishing Aura that moved even Zhao Tianlong.
“Truly a Genius. Even without talent, you wouldn't be overlooked.”
Elder Fan looked at Chu Han and spoke slowly, his gaze full of appreciation.
“Thank you for showing mercy, Senior.” Chu Han cupped his hands toward Elder Fan.
He was still very happy to receive recognition from a Grandmaster.
Elder Fan laughed, “It's your own merit! For an ordinary Martial Artist to hold out for even a second under my pressure would be good enough. You not only held out but also used the force to Cultivate. You truly are a unique little fellow.”
He paused, a meaningful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. “I know an old fellow who loves taking in reckless disciples like you. Perhaps he'll take a liking to you.”
“Taking a disciple?”
Chu Han was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.
He hadn't expected Elder Fan to be vetting a disciple for someone else.
A teacher introduced by a Grandmaster-level expert should also be a Grandmaster, right?
Chu Han quickly bowed to Elder Fan and said excitedly, “Then I shall trouble Senior!”
“Mhm, don't worry about it. If you really succeed in becoming his disciple, your master will thank me.”
Elder Fan waved his hand and said with a smile.
In his heart, however, he began calculating how much of a referral fee he should charge if Chu Han succeeded in the apprenticeship.
Nearby, the father and son Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Feiyu both looked at Chu Han with envy, their shock goes without saying.
To be praised by a Grandmaster, Chu Han's future was bound to be bright.
If the apprenticeship succeeded, Chu Han would soar even higher.
Afterward, Elder Fan left with Lin Baiwei.
They had to leave Jiang City immediately and return to the Capital, not wanting to delay for a moment.
Having obtained her second beast pet, Lin Baiwei couldn't delay her own cultivation or the nurturing of the new pet; she was about to enter a 20-day secluded cultivation period.
“See you at Kyoto Martial Arts University.”
She also made an appointment with the two of them to meet at Kyoto Martial Arts University.
After Lin Baiwei left, Zhao Tianlong asked about Chu Han leaving the Third Middle School and helped him register for the Martial Arts Grand Examination as a Martial Artist.
For Zhao Tianlong, such a thing was just a matter of a few words, yet it saved Chu Han a lot of time.
Chu Han expressed his gratitude to Zhao Tianlong and left the President's office with Zhao Feiyu.
They still had one more thing to do, which was to collect the Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills from their martial artist certification.
The two arrived at the True Martial Pavilion on the second floor of the Martial Artist Association. Here, they could use their obtained martial artist medals to select Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills of different levels.
A newly certified 1st Rank Martial Artist could receive one D-rank Cultivation Technique and one D-rank Martial Skill, a 2nd Rank Martial Artist could receive C-rank ones, and so on.
Chu Han's collection authority naturally reached B-rank.
Although Zhao Feiyu had a Family Legacy, he could still Cultivate other techniques and skills.
He chose two wind-attribute Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
As for Chu Han, he chose the fire attribute.
Because he had upgraded his talent and absorbed the Red-Scaled Python's blood previously, his body was very compatible with fire-attribute Yuanqi.
By cultivating the fire attribute, he could become stronger faster.
So, he chose a B-rank Flame Swallowing Art Cultivation Technique and a B-rank Flame Burst Fist Martial Skill.
Although he couldn't Cultivate the technique yet, using the Martial Skill in combination with his talent was perfectly fine.
