After taking the potion, Chu Zhan's face instantly contorted in agony, his body trembling violently.
Chu Han knew this was the effect of the potion and did not interfere.
Soon, Chu Zhan coughed up several mouthfuls of black blood, his complexion becoming even paler.
But after a while, Chu Han noticed his father's aura gradually stabilizing, no longer as erratic as before.
After waiting a bit longer, his father's aura remained steady, and color began to return to his face.
"All better?"
Chu Han was overjoyed.
Although his father's aura was still a bit weaker than that of an ordinary person, the illness that had plagued him for many years seemed to have truly disappeared!
"Dad, how do you feel?" Chu Han asked softly.
Chu Zhan took a slight breath, his voice still weak. "I feel great. All the pain that tormented me for over ten years is gone. It really feels like a dream. I don't have much strength, but I'm so much better. I haven't been able to breathe normally for years."
Chu Han's heart leaped with joy, and he said excitedly, "Dad, that's wonderful! Once you recover, I'll find a way to make you a martial artist again!"
"A martial artist? Hahaha, Dad believes you can do it!"
A flicker of anticipation flashed in Chu Zhan's eyes, and he nodded.
This treatment had also changed his mindset.
Chu Zhan had long given up on his injuries before, but now hope had been rekindled.
It could be said that both his body and mind had been healed.
With his mobility restored, Chu Zhan first walked around the room and then, with Chu Han's help, went downstairs.
The sun had not yet fully set outside, and Chu Zhan took a walk around the residential complex.
Coincidentally, his mother, Zhang Meilan, was returning from work.
When she saw Chu Zhan walking alone outside, she thought she was hallucinating and 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 now?"
Chu Zhan turned around and said gently to Zhang Meilan, "Meilan, I'm all better. You've worked hard all these years."
"Old Chu, you're really better! That's wonderful, truly wonderful..." Zhang Meilan was instantly overcome with tears of joy.
Chu Han quickly said, "Mom, Dad took a gene potion, and it has cured his illness. He's just still quite weak and needs time to recover. You should be happy."
"Yes, Meilan, we should celebrate properly," Chu Zhan also comforted her.
"Okay, let's go home."
In the evening, Chu Han took out the Spirit Rice and Tusk Pig meat and made a sumptuous dinner.
The family had the happiest meal they'd had in over a decade.
All three felt a sense of relief.
The dark cloud that had hung over the family for years had finally dispersed.
Looking at his parents' smiles, Chu Han felt that all his hard training was worth it.
His father overcoming his illness was just the first step. He hadn't forgotten the debt owed to the Blue Eagle Martial Arts School, and he also wanted his father to regain his strength and become a martial artist again.
Before that, he planned to move his family to a better environment and let his mother stop working so she could rest.
He still had over 700,000 Federal currency, which was enough to improve their living conditions.
However, to better achieve his goals, he decided to first get his martial artist strength certification and obtain a martial artist's proof.
The simplest way to obtain a martial artist's proof was to demonstrate that he could cultivate Origin Energy.
If he couldn't cultivate Origin Energy, he would need to pass a combat assessment to prove his strength was at the martial artist level.
As long as his strength was sufficient, he could also get martial artist certification.
Chu Han decided to directly participate in the martial artist combat assessment.
In terms of cultivation, he was still far behind, but in terms of combat, he had already far surpassed others.
And becoming a martial artist came with incredibly generous rewards.
In the Dragon Xia Federation, martial artists received various benefits and treatment, including subsidies for housing, food, transportation, and other aspects.
A 1st Rank martial artist not only received a monthly subsidy of 10,000 Federal currency but could also apply to live in a martial artist residential complex or martial artist apartment.
With Chu Han's current financial resources, he was still a bit short of buying a house in a martial artist residential complex, but living in a martial artist apartment was no problem at all.
He planned to have his parents move into an apartment after he got his martial artist certification.
On the other hand, he also planned to participate in the Martial Arts Grand Examination as a martial artist.
After dinner, Chu Han went up to the rooftop.
He took out the newly acquired C-rank martial skill, Explosive Fist, and carefully flipped through it under the dim light of the rooftop.
After reading it once, the contents of Explosive Fist were all imprinted in his mind.
His basic fist techniques had already reached a supernatural level, and his understanding of fist techniques had a deep foundation. With the boost from his Ten Thousand Times Talent, he had almost instantly grasped the essence and profound mysteries of Explosive Fist.
"Explosive Fist is indeed extraordinary!" Chu Han couldn't help but praise softly.
This fist technique was a martial skill no weaker than the Seven Forms of the Army Breaker.
The most formidable aspect of Explosive Fist lay in its extreme explosive power; upon mastering it, one could unleash a punch with 6 times the normal force.
Its core principle was to skillfully compress both internal energy and Origin Energy, compressing them like dynamite onto the fist. At the moment of striking, all the power would erupt simultaneously, resulting in unparalleled might.
Furthermore, another characteristic of Explosive Fist was its ability to channel accumulated internal energy into the target's interior to detonate, causing greater damage.
To a certain extent, it could bypass defenses.
Although he couldn't use Origin Energy yet, this martial skill was enough to significantly boost his unarmed combat strength.
Chu Han took a deep breath and, following the energy circulation method of Explosive Fist, slowly raised his right arm, gathering the internal energy of his entire body into his right fist.
"Hah!"
Chu Han let out a loud shout, and his right fist shot forward like a cannonball, bringing with it a whistling sound of wind.
"Boom!"
The air in front of him exploded. Under the explosive force of Chu Han's punch, even the air seemed to distort.
This punch was stronger than any he had thrown before!
"It should be more than 6 times the punch force. Explosive Fist is truly powerful!"
Having tasted success, Chu Han didn't pause. He adjusted his breathing again, and his internal energy surged even more fiercely towards his right fist. This time, he intended to push the power of Explosive Fist even further.
"Boom!"
Another punch was thrown, and its power had clearly increased significantly this time.
"Explosive Fist strives for continuous breakthroughs of limits. With each breakthrough, its power grows stronger!"
"With Explosive Fist, my strength can reach a new level!"
Chu Han was very satisfied with this martial skill.
There was no equipment on the rooftop to test the martial skill's power, otherwise, he would definitely have tested it himself.
After practicing Explosive Fist, Chu Han sparred with the Gale Saber Technique a few times.
This saber technique, learned from Shen Ping, also brought him considerable improvement.
The Seven Forms of the Army Breaker focused on explosive power, while the Gale Saber Technique was more agile and swift; the two could complement each other.
After practicing the saber techniques, Chu Han also cultivated the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique for a while before ending his training.
The next morning, Chu Han performed his routine lottery draw.
He had obtained a spatial ring yesterday and thought he had used up all his luck.
But he never expected that the item he drew today would be even more explosive.
[Talent Copy Card: After use, you can copy one person's talent, with a maximum of S-Class talent that can be copied. The user must make physical contact with the target to use it.]
"It seems Lady Luck hasn't abandoned me yet!"
Chu Han was extremely excited, already contemplating what talent to copy.
After all, this Talent Copy Card could almost allow him to customize his own talents.
Whatever talent he liked, he could go and copy it.
The only troublesome part was the requirement for physical contact with the target.
Among the talent users he had come into contact 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 touch with Li Mengran?"
"Let's forget it."
Chu Han shook his head.
If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
