Honorary Soldier, C-rank Martial Skill Explosive Fist

Chu Han was truly surprised by Li Yunjian's words.

Longxia Military Martial University, as one of the four major martial arts universities, was a top ten martial arts school in the world.

It could be said to be the higher learning institution that hundreds of millions of students across the country dreamed of, and it was also one of Chu Han's goals.

The four major institutions were all his targets.

But his highest priority target was still the number one ranked Kyoto Martial Arts University.

Kyoto Martial Arts University was the top martial arts university in the Longxia Federation, with the most and best faculty, martial arts resources, and strong individuals cultivated.

Compared to it, the Military Martial University was still a step behind.

However, given his current situation, the Military Martial University was indeed a good choice.

Seeing Chu Han's interest, Li Yunjian continued, "With your qualifications, I guarantee you can get a chance to apply. As long as you pass the assessment then, you can enroll smoothly. This is much easier than going through the martial arts college entrance examination."

Chu Han hadn't expected this officer from the army to value him so highly. The conditions he offered were indeed incredibly tempting, and for many martial artists, it was undoubtedly a bright path to advancement.

But after a moment of thought, Chu Han still shook his head gently.

He said with a hint of apology, "Officer Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I personally prefer a more free life. The cultivation methods in the army are strictly disciplined and restrictive, and I'm afraid I wouldn't adapt."

Hearing Chu Han's refusal, Li Yunjian wasn't surprised. Chu Han's strong stance in withdrawing from Third Middle School was enough to show his firm resolve.

Li Yunjian smiled and nodded, "I respect your thoughts. Everyone has their own choices. However, I have another suggestion you might consider."

Chu Han showed a curious expression and looked at Li Yunjian, asking, "What suggestion?"

Li Yunjian put down his coffee cup and said, "Chu Han, you can also be affiliated with my team and become an Honorary Soldier."

"Honorary Soldier?"

"That's right. Honorary Soldiers don't have to stay in the military for training and missions all year round like other soldiers. You only need to occasionally carry out military tasks and help out when the army needs you. The rest of the time is yours to use freely."

"Moreover, after each mission, you can earn military merits, which can be used to exchange for various treasures in the military."

Chu Han's heart stirred. This suggestion seemed very suitable for him.

He wouldn't be too restricted, would have the army as his backing, and could also gain some benefits. He had no reason to refuse.

He immediately nodded and said, "Officer Li, this suggestion is quite good. I accept."

"Haha, good! From now on, you're a member of our unit!"

Li Yunjian's face broke into a satisfied smile when he saw Chu Han agree.

"That's great! With Brother Chu Han, our team's strength will improve further!" Captain Wang was also very excited.

At this moment, Li Yunjian solemnly took out a medal from his pocket and said, "Chu Han, since you've agreed, I will now present you with this Level 1 Military Merit Medal on behalf of the military region. This is a commendation for your previous rescue of the army and students!"

"For me!" Chu Han was a little surprised, as he hadn't even carried out any military missions yet.

"Of course!"

With that, Li Yunjian handed the medal, which was gleaming with metallic luster, to Chu Han. "Congratulations, Brother Chu, you are arguably the fastest soldier to receive a military merit medal!"

"Thank you, Captain Li. I'll come to the army to train when I have free time from now on."

Chu Han smiled.

He could tell that Li Yunjian's sincerity was genuine and that he truly admired him.

Chu Han kept all this goodwill in his heart.

"Haha, the rewards for you aren't over yet."

Li Yunjian took another martial skill manual from his personal backpack and handed it to Chu Han.

"This is... a martial skill!"

Chu Han's eyes couldn't move away.

Li Yunjian smiled, "This is also a reward from the military region for you, a C-rank martial skill, Explosive Fist. I believe it will greatly help improve your strength."

Chu Han quickly took the martial skill manual, his heart filled with gratitude, and said, "Captain Li, thank you, and thank you for the military region's reward. Call me anytime if there's a mission, I will never refuse!"

Li Yunjian patted Chu Han's shoulder and smiled, "Brother Chu Han, you're too kind. We're family now. If you need any help, just tell me."

Chu Han and Li Yunjian, along with Captain Wang, exchanged contact information.

Afterward, Captain Wang personally drove him back to Jiang City.

After bidding farewell to Captain Wang, he quickly returned to his home.

On the way, his heart was a mix of nervousness and anticipation.

Not long after, Chu Han pushed open the door to his home.

The house was very quiet. His father was resting in the bedroom, and his mother was still at work and hadn't returned.

"Dad, I'm back," Chu Han called out softly.

Walking into the bedroom, Chu Zhan also woke up and asked with concern, "Xiao Han, how was the Wilderness Training Camp this time? Did you encounter any danger?"

Chu Han smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. I'm fine, and I gained a lot this time."

"That's good. A martial artist will inevitably experience countless real battles in the future. This Wilderness Training Camp is just the beginning."

Chu Zhan was very satisfied, but he still lectured Chu Han as an elder. Chu Han was already used to it.

"Dad, let's not talk about that. I brought something important back for you this time."

"Oh? What is it?"

Chu Han took out the Life No. 1 Gene Potion from his embrace and handed it to his father, saying, "Dad, look what this is."

Chu Zhan's face, which had been smiling, widened in disbelief the moment he saw the potion. "This is Life No. 1 Gene Potion? Xiao Han, where did you get it? This stuff isn't cheap!"

Chu Zhan had also been researching ways to recover over the years. When Life No. 1 Gene Potion was released a few years ago, he had received related news, but he simply couldn't afford it.

Seeing his son take it out at this moment, he was naturally extremely shocked.

Chu Han explained, "Dad, of course I bought it. When I was at the Wilderness Training Camp, I got some precious materials. After selling them, I bought this potion. It should be able to cure your illness."

Chu Zhan's heart warmed, but his brow quickly furrowed. He sighed and said, "Sigh, you child, how could you be so foolish! This potion is so expensive, you should have used all the money on your own cultivation! I'm just a cripple, not worth you spending such a huge price to buy medicine."

"You never had talent. Martial arts cultivation is already difficult and requires various resources to improve yourself. How can you waste money on me!"

Chu Zhan was very agitated. Of course, he wanted to take the potion, but his son's future was more important! He had to make up his mind to leave the opportunity to his son.

Chu Han listened to his father's words and felt a surge of emotion.

He said earnestly, "Dad, what are you talking about? You're not a cripple in my heart. You've sacrificed so much for me and this family. Now that I have the ability, of course I want to find a way to cure your illness!"

He thought for a moment and then said, "Besides, Dad, actually, when I had my awakening ceremony before, it might have been a misunderstanding that no talent was detected. After cultivating these past few days, I've found that I should have talent too."

"What? Are you serious?!"

Chu Zhan was shocked and looked at Chu Han with a confused expression.

He knew that the awakening ceremony was very rigorous and usually didn't make mistakes.

"Could you have a hidden talent?"

"Hidden talent? Yes, that's very possible!"

Chu Han no longer hid his abilities. His blood surged, and a layer of gray, stone-like skin instantly covered his entire body.

Then, he picked up a kitchen knife and slashed it at his arm.

"Bang!"

The kitchen knife instantly shattered into several pieces.

Chu Zhan's eyes widened even further when he saw this. "It's talent, this is talent! I knew it, my son would never be an ordinary person! Hahahaha..."

Chu Han looked at his father's excited expression and quickly said, "Dad, can you take the potion now?"

Chu Zhan nodded, no longer hesitating. He opened the potion bottle cap, tilted his head back, and drank the potion in one gulp.
