Defeating Sun Liqiang, Fusing Talent

"Ah! I'll kill you!"

Sun Liqiang, lying on the ground, roared.

Repelled by a "good-for-nothing" under the eyes of everyone, a sense of immense humiliation instantly consumed Sun Liqiang's reason. His eyes turned blood-red, and he activated his talent.

"Beast Transformation!"

Crack, crack, crack!

Amidst the bone-cracking sounds that grated on the ears, Sun Liqiang's body began to change drastically!

His fingernails became sharp and pointed, dense brown fur grew on his body, his head protruded forward, transforming into a ferocious leopard head! His muscles bulged, turning him into a leopard-man!

"So scary! Is this Sun Liqiang's talent?"

"Chu Han is really finished this time. Sun Liqiang has completely enraged him."

"Won't Chu Han be ripped open by Sun Liqiang?"

The audience below was startled by Sun Liqiang's beast form; some were so scared their legs went weak.

"Roar!"

With Beast Transformation, Sun Liqiang's speed, strength, and reaction time all saw a massive surge!

He landed on all fours, pushed off hard, and turned into a brown blur, his claws aiming straight for Chu Han's throat!

Chu Han felt a violent, dangerous aura rushing towards him, making him dare not be careless.

Sun Liqiang's talent did have some substance.

"This is bad, Chu Han is in danger!"

Wang Hao below exclaimed in alarm.

Although Sun Liqiang's talent was B-rank, its burst power surpassed some A-rank talents!

Chu Han was definitely no match for him!

But it was too late for Wang Hao to intervene now.

"Whoosh!"

Sun Liqiang's claws tore through the air, a blur of afterimages flashing past.

But the expected scene of Chu Han being severely injured did not appear; Chu Han was completely unharmed!

"He dodged it again?!"

Wang Hao felt his heart leap out of his chest, utterly astonished.

Chu Han still stood there calmly, as if feeling no pressure at all.

While Sun Liqiang's strength and speed after Beast Transformation indeed surpassed his, under the insight of his Ten Thousand Times Talent, his attack trajectory, amplified by wild instinct, became more direct and easier to predict!

Sun Liqiang attacked again, and Chu Han dodged to the side a step ahead of time.

"Impossible!"

Sun Liqiang's attacks became more ferocious, his claws creating a flurry of shadows, wanting nothing more than to tear Chu Han to shreds.

But Chu Han always managed to evade the attacks at the last moment.

His movement techniques became more efficient under immense pressure, as if dancing on the tip of a blade, perilous yet composed!

That's right, Chu Han was now treating Sun Liqiang as his sparring partner.

Real combat and danger allowed him to improve faster!

He could feel his basic movement techniques constantly strengthening, reaching a state of perfection, achieving the supernatural realm!

"How is this possible?! How could he dodge the attacks after Beast Transformation?"

"A monster! He's the real monster!"

"Could the awakening stone have been wrong? But he doesn't seem to have awakened any talent."

The students below were mesmerized, their worldview severely shaken.

"These movement techniques... supernatural! Absolutely the supernatural realm for basic movement techniques!"

Several teachers trembled with excitement; this was a realm they themselves had not reached!

Furthermore, Chu Han wasn't using any movement-type martial skills, indicating he had reached this level solely by practicing basic movement techniques!

"He's truly a monster!"

"If he were to awaken a talent, who knows what kind of prodigy he would be!"

"What a shame!"

Chu Han's movement techniques continued to improve, while Sun Liqiang became more frantic the longer they fought.

Sun Liqiang's attacks grew fiercer but also more chaotic and predictable.

Beast Transformation granted him strength, but it also amplified his wildness and impatience.

Chu Han dodged while calmly observing.

The powerful insight brought by Ten Thousand Times Talent allowed him to rapidly analyze the weaknesses of Sun Liqiang's Beast Transformation state.

"His attack patterns are simple and lack variation, his stamina is being depleted rapidly, the transformation likely has a time limit, and his waist is extremely vulnerable!"

A sharp glint flashed in Chu Han's eyes as he quickly discovered Sun Liqiang's weakness.

After Sun Liqiang lunged with full force once more, his weakness was completely exposed.

Seizing this opening, Chu Han immediately launched his attack!

His entire body moved at a bizarre angle behind Sun Liqiang. With a swift lunge, his elbow slammed hard into Sun Liqiang's lower back.

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed as Sun Liqiang's body was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground below the stage.

This elbow strike unleashed Chu Han's full strength, and even with the protection of Beast Transformation, Sun Liqiang was severely injured.

The Beast Transformation state quickly faded, returning him to human form. He curled up, groaning in pain.

The entire gymnasium fell silent in an instant.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, as if frozen, unsure how to react.

Chu Han stood proudly, "So what if you awakened your talent? You're still trash."

His gaze swept across the students below, and almost everyone avoided his eyes.

These were the very people who had gloated and mocked him before, but now Chu Han had slapped them in the face with his actions.

Even Sun Liqiang, who had awakened a B-rank talent, had lost. They had no right to mock Chu Han!

Li Mengran looked at Chu Han with a complex expression. Their eyes met, and she only saw the deep disdain and indifference in Chu Han's gaze.

Chu Han's gaze didn't linger on her, as if he didn't care about her opinion at all.

"Chu Han, don't think you can catch up to me just because you beat Sun Liqiang."

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Li Mengran's face. She clenched her fists and muttered.

"Teacher Wang, can I sign up now?" Chu Han asked his homeroom teacher with a smile.

Wang Hao let out a sigh of relief. "Your performance today truly shocked me. Your strength is sufficient to participate in the Wilderness Training Camp."

"That's good then."

Chu Han nodded and left the school.

Wang Hao watched Chu Han's retreating figure, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

The basic talent Chu Han displayed was absolutely worthy of a potential value exceeding 3000 points. As long as he awakened any martial talent, his future development would hold infinite possibilities!

But fate was truly unfair!

"Sigh, I hope you can forge a path that is different from the rest."

Wang Hao sighed softly and added Chu Han's name to the Wilderness Training Camp roster.

On his way home, Chu Han opened his system space.

Of the 10 items he had drawn previously, all except Ten Thousand Times Talent were stored in the system space, unused.

"E-rank talent?"

Chu Han's gaze settled on that talent.

[Stone Skin: E-rank talent. Upon activation, gain a stone-like skin, increasing your strength and defense.]

Although it was only the lowest E-rank, a talent was still a talent. Its effects were by no means comparable to ordinary training.

He wouldn't have bothered with this talent before, but a talent was a talent, and its effects were by no means comparable to ordinary training.

"Use!"

Chu Han didn't hesitate.

"Buzz!"

A peculiar sensation instantly spread throughout his body!

New power flowed into him, making every cell in his body cheer!

"Is this what it feels like to fuse with a talent? It truly is a wonderful experience."

The entire process lasted for about ten seconds before ending.

After the fusion was complete, Chu Han looked at the skin on his arm. The color hadn't changed much.

But when he touched it, he immediately felt an unusual toughness and hardness. Ordinary friction and slight bumps would likely cause no damage.

He picked up a sharp stone from the ground and scratched his arm. It only left a white mark.

"This hardness is comparable to tough leather, and my strength has also increased significantly!"

"If I use the talent, the improvement should be even greater!"

With that thought, he activated his talent, Stone Skin.

Instantly, his skin began to emit a grayish-white luster, and its texture became rough, as if covered by a layer of hardened petrification.

He used a stone to scratch his skin forcefully. With a "snap," the sharp edge of the stone instantly shattered, while his Stone Skin remained completely undamaged.

"Such strong defense! My strength has also greatly increased!"

Chu Han rejoiced, his gaze sweeping over the cobblestone path beneath his feet.

He punched down.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the cobblestone ground cracked open with several fissures from his punch, sending gravel flying.

The surface of his fist, aside from being coated in some stone dust, was completely unharmed. He didn't even feel the slightest bit of pain!

"Not bad."

Chu Han was overjoyed.

"With my current strength, I can easily defeat Sun Liqiang even without using my movement techniques!"

Although it was only an E-rank talent, the improvement it brought was still terrifying!

No wonder those without awakened talents were abandoned; the difference was too great!

After confirming its effectiveness, Chu Han quickly left the spot and deactivated his Stone Skin state.

The punch he'd just thrown had caused quite a commotion, and he didn't want to be caught and made to pay for damaging the ground.

Furthermore, activating Stone Skin constantly consumed energy from within his body.
