Talent Upgrade, Molten Crystal Armor!

Chu Han was unaware that his information had reached the upper echelons of the Martial Artist Association.

After leaving the association, he returned directly home.

His parents were overjoyed to see him back, and his mother constantly fussed over him, checking his injuries.

Fortunately, the penetrating wound on Chu Han's shoulder had completely healed, and his parents found no issues, which put their minds at ease.

"Dad, Mom, you should go look at houses these next two days. I'll be certified as a martial artist the day after tomorrow, and then we'll move into the residential complex for martial artists!"

Chu Han said to his parents with immense confidence.

With his current financial resources, he no longer needed to live in an apartment.

The perfectly renovated houses in the residential complex for martial artists were his target.

"My son has really made something of himself! Your Mom and I will go look tomorrow!"

Chu Zhan was infected by Chu Han's excitement and was also thrilled.

Zhang Meilan shot her husband a look. "What are you getting worked up about? Xiao Han just earned some money; he should invest it in cultivation resources. Houses and such aren't important."

"Right, right, listen to your Mom," Chu Zhan said, snapping back to reality and agreeing with his wife.

Chu Han smiled and showed his parents his account balance. "Look, even after buying a house, I'll still have money for cultivation."

"Ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand," Chu Zhan and Zhang Meilan counted the digits in Chu Han's account with astonishment.

"It's 47.2 million in total!"

Both were dumbfounded, at a loss for words for a moment.

Chu Zhan, who had once been a 3rd Rank martial artist, had never earned so much money, let alone Zhang Meilan.

Afterward, Chu Han persuaded them further, and only then did his parents agree to look at houses tomorrow.

It was nearing evening, and Zhang Meilan began preparing dinner.

Chu Han took this time to head to the abandoned park downstairs.

He still had one more thing to do: upgrade his talent.

He found a secluded spot and took out the Talent Upgrade Card.

He immediately chose to use it.

The card instantly transformed into a stream of golden light and entered his glabella.

Chu Han felt a warmth in his glabella, and the golden light flowed from there into his mind.

The next moment, Chu Han lost consciousness and collapsed.

Chu Han's consciousness entered a state of chaos, yet he found he could see the changes happening within his body.

At this moment, every one of his cells was undergoing evolution. He could even see his genes being rewritten, rearranged, and reordered, giving rise to a profound sense of wonder.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Han's consciousness returned to his body.

He suddenly opened his eyes and sat up from the ground, finding himself filled with new strength, and all his physical attributes had significantly improved.

"Is this what it feels like after a talent evolution?"

Chu Han's mind stirred, and he activated his talent.

The next second, he felt a burning warmth flow beneath his skin. Immediately, black crystals slowly seeped out from under the skin of his arm, instantly covering his entire body and forming a tight-fitting armor.

Dark red patterns flowed within the armor like lava, emitting astonishing heat, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

At the same time, Chu Han felt an explosive surge of power within him.

"Molten Crystal Armor? This is the name of the new talent!"

Once Chu Han activated his talent, all the information about this new talent immediately appeared in his mind.

Molten Crystal Armor, an A-rank talent.

Upon activation, the body is covered by a layer of molten crystal, forming a hard, high-temperature armor.

Fire Attribute Origin Energy flows through the armor, granting significant immunity to fire-based damage, greatly increasing physical strength, and allowing the user to channel the Fire Attribute Origin Energy within the armor for attacks.

Compared to the Stone Skin Talent, it not only enhanced defense but also further strengthened his power, while also granting fire attribute immunity and offensive capabilities.

"As expected of an A-rank talent, it's incredibly powerful!"

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Chu Han was ecstatic, his excitement difficult to contain.

He took out the Blood Shadow Battle Saber and swung it at his arm.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound echoed. The crystal armor only sustained a shallow scratch, while Chu Han's body beneath only felt a slight vibration.

"Such terrifying defensive power. Even a 3rd Rank martial artist would find it difficult to harm me now."

He then tried to channel the Fire Attribute Origin Energy from the armor, concentrating it on his right fist.

The armor on his fist instantly glowed with a dark red light, its temperature sharply rising, and a ball of flame erupted.

"I can indeed use Fire Attribute Origin Energy. This is the power of innate talent."

Even though he hadn't practiced any Cultivation Method, he could now use the power of the Fire Attribute.

"What a great talent, I like it very much."

A smile curved Chu Han's lips, and a powerful confidence surged within him.

Now, his biggest weakness had been resolved!

"I still have one more day to cultivate. I will definitely succeed in the martial artist assessment the day after tomorrow."

It was already dark. Chu Han's talent upgrade had taken at least 2 hours.

He immediately went home to avoid making his parents wait too long.

In the Zhao Family's study.

Zhao Tianlong stared at the information on the virtual screen, a look of shock flashing across his face.

"This Chu Han is truly not simple. He even wiped out the Night Owl Squad."

Zhao Tianlong was the president of the Jiang City Martial Arts Association, a Tier 6 advanced Martial Master with formidable strength.

He had received news from the vice president that day about a young genius.

A high school senior named Chu Han had brought back the heads of the entire Night Owl Squad. His strength was extraordinary, and he could be classified as a key observation target for Jiang City.

Most peculiar was that Chu Han was still a Quasi-Martial Artist, with very weak Origin Energy fluctuations, clearly not having mastered the method of using Origin Energy.

However, his physique was comparable to an Exotic Beast, and his blood and energy surged like a raging river.

"He can absorb the Mad Lion Pill! A body-tempering genius! And he hasn't awakened his talent yet!"

Zhao Tianlong shook his head, feeling a headache coming on.

If this were in the past, he would never have believed that these characteristics could all be found in one person; it was practically a miracle!

"This is the first time I've encountered a youngster I can't see through. He must be hiding some kind of secret," Zhao Tianlong said with a smile.

"Sir, the young master returned this afternoon. If you want to know about Chu Han, why not ask him?"

Beside him, a white-haired old man said.

"Oh, Feiyu is back. I'd forgotten in my busyness."

A smile appeared on Zhao Tianlong's face. "Let's go see how much he's improved this time."

In the living room of the Zhao Family villa, Zhao Feiyu was lounging on the sofa, chattering animatedly with the figure on the large virtual screen in front of him.

"Sister, you wouldn't believe it! Three Arrow-tailed Lions were attacking me at the time. In a fit of rage, I unleashed my Mad Lion Bloodline, and my purple Origin Energy blasted open their encirclement. I smashed the skull of the biggest one with a single punch!"

Zhao Feiyu gestured wildly, spittle flying. "And that Tier 2 Arrow-tailed Lion, its tail was like a javelin. I managed to parry its tail with my spear and then thrust forward..."

A woman in a white martial arts uniform appeared on the screen. She was Zhao Feiyu's sister, Zhao Feifei, a student at Jingwu University and a Tier 4 Martial Master.

Zhao Feifei rubbed her forehead helplessly. She was one year older than Zhao Feiyu and possessed an S-rank Golden Mad Lion Bloodline!

She was among the top students at Jingwu University and could see through the "exaggerations" in her brother's story at a glance.

"Alright, alright. You could at most handle two Arrow-tailed Lions, and that Tier 2 one... you probably didn't kill it."

Zhao Feiyu blushed at being exposed but still insisted stubbornly, "That's not important. Look at my bloodline now!"

He suddenly stood up, and the purple Origin Energy around him surged, its radiance several times more intense than before, even showing a hint of black.

"After absorbing the Lion Blood Potion, my bloodline purity is nearing the limit of purple! Within three years, I will definitely strive for a black-level bloodline!"
