Grandmaster Pressure! Chu Han's Teacher?

After the transaction was completed, Chu Han, Zhao Feiyu, and Lin Baiwei chatted for quite a while longer.

But most of the time, Lin Baiwei asked the questions while Chu Han answered them.

Suddenly, Chu Han discovered that a strand of Spiritual Power had invaded his Sea of Consciousness.

He immediately locked onto the source of that Spiritual Power and discovered that the one probing him was actually Lin Baiwei's teacher!

Elder Fan was also startled when Chu Han discovered him. He had never expected his spiritual probe to be noticed by a junior.

He has even cultivated Spiritual Power. This little fellow has hidden himself deeply, hasn't he?

Elder Fan thought to himself, then said to Chu Han, "Chu Han, your strength is quite impressive. Let me test you."

"Oh? How does Senior intend to test me?" Chu Han was very curious and had no idea what the other man meant.

Zhao Tianlong hurriedly cut in, "Chu Han, Elder Fan wants to test your talent. This is a great opportunity!"

Hearing this, Chu Han understood that the other man meant well and promptly said, "Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

Elder Fan nodded. Then the aura around him abruptly changed, shrouding the entire office in its presence.

Zhao Tianlong, standing nearby, was instantly shocked. "This is Grandmaster Pressure!"

Even he, a 6th Rank martial artist, felt tremendous pressure, let alone the others.

Lin Baiwei and Zhao Feiyu were directly pinned in place, unable to move. Although Chu Han could still move, it was extremely difficult.

Is this the might of a Grandmaster?

Chu Han roared inwardly as he struggled to resist the pressure.

"Not bad."

Elder Fan nodded and withdrew the pressure from everyone else, leaving Chu Han alone to bear it.

"Let me see where your limit lies."

The moment Elder Fan finished speaking, Chu Han felt the pressure on his body increase severalfold.

It was as though a mountain had been placed atop him, making every bone in his body groan beneath the unbearable burden.

Yet he still refused to yield. He forcefully raised his head, wearing the expression of one prepared to face death without flinching.

"Hm? He can still hold on?"

A flicker of surprise flashed through Elder Fan's eyes as the pressure he released suddenly intensified.

"This pressure can directly crush a 3rd Rank Martial Artist to death. A 4th Rank Martial Artist would be severely wounded in an instant."

With a bang, Chu Han's knees smashed into the floor. Cracks like a spiderweb instantly spread across the solid wood flooring, and even his knees sank into it.

This pressure was incredibly powerful. In an instant, cracks began to form in Chu Han's bones, blood started seeping from his skin, and even breathing became difficult.

He could feel that his body was already nearing its limit. If he held on any longer, his Physical Body might truly collapse.

"Brother Han, why not give up?!" Zhao Feiyu could not help shouting, his face filled with worry.

Lin Baiwei was also frightened and hurriedly urged, "Master, are you trying to kill Chu Han?"

Zhao Tianlong shook his head without stopping him. With his strength, he could tell that Chu Han had yet to give up.

A trace of determination flashed through Chu Han's eyes as he desperately resisted the pressure.

Ignoring the excruciating pain in his body, he slowly adjusted his posture. Borrowing the pressure, his body assumed a bizarre stance—the first posture of the second level of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique!

To the others, this posture looked utterly bizarre, and they all thought his body had been crushed apart.

But in the next moment, Chu Han's aura suddenly grew stronger, while the surrounding Elemental Power continuously poured into his body.

His body actually began actively absorbing the minute energy within the pressure, transforming it into material for tempering his flesh.

"This is! He's cultivating by borrowing Grandmaster Pressure? What kind of body-tempering technique is this?"

Elder Fan's eyes were full of astonishment, along with a trace of delight. "Are all those who enjoy body cultivation this reckless with their lives? I actually saw the shadow of that old fossil in this little fellow."

Not only did he not withdraw the pressure, he increased it once again.

This time, the pressure had reached the limit of a 4th Rank Martial Artist!

Yet this time, Chu Han's body showed no change at all. He merely shifted into another new posture.

Every strand of his hair stood on end, and countless bloody cracks split open across his body, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.

"His flesh and bones are actually being continuously destroyed and rebuilt beneath the pressure, becoming denser and tougher in the process!"

Elder Fan watched Chu Han's changes the entire time, and the shock in his heart only deepened.

Chu Han's breathing gradually became steady, and his movements as he shifted postures became incomparably smooth. He was actually adapting to this pressure bit by bit.

When he had completed every posture of the second form of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique, Chu Han's injuries had already fully recovered, and he had become even stronger.

"Enough." Seeing this, Elder Fan withdrew the pressure.

The pressure on Chu Han suddenly vanished, and an astonishing aura immediately erupted from his body, moving even Zhao Tianlong.

"As expected, you're a genius. Even without talent, you would not have been buried in obscurity."

Elder Fan looked at Chu Han and spoke slowly, his gaze filled with admiration.

"Thank you for showing mercy, Senior." Chu Han clasped his hands toward Elder Fan.

He was still very happy to receive the recognition of a Grandmaster.

Elder Fan laughed. "You earned it yourself! Ordinary martial artists would be doing well to last one second under my pressure. Not only did you endure it, you even used the force to cultivate. You truly are a unique little fellow."

He paused, a meaningful smile curling his lips. "I know an old fellow who loves taking in disciples like you who don't value their lives. Perhaps he'll like you."

"Take me as a disciple?"

Chu Han was stunned for a moment before being overwhelmed with joy.

He had not expected Elder Fan to be examining him on someone else's behalf as a potential disciple.

A teacher introduced by a Grandmaster Level expert should also be a Grandmaster, right?

Chu Han hurriedly bowed to Elder Fan and said excitedly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior!"

"Mm, don't mind it. If you truly succeed in becoming his disciple, your master will thank me."

Elder Fan waved his hand and said with a smile.

Meanwhile, he had already begun calculating how much of an introduction fee he should charge if Chu Han succeeded in taking a master.

At the side, Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Feiyu, father and son, both looked at Chu Han with faces full of envy. The shock in their hearts went without saying.

To be praised by a Grandmaster, Chu Han's future was bound to be bright.

If he succeeded in taking a master, Chu Han would soar to the heavens in a single leap.

Afterward, Elder Fan left with Lin Baiwei.

They were leaving River City immediately and returning to Kyoto, unwilling to delay even for a moment.

Lin Baiwei had obtained her second beast pet, and neither her own cultivation nor the nurturing of her new beast pet could be delayed. Next, she would enter a twenty-day closed-door cultivation period.

"See you at Jingwu University."

She also arranged to meet Chu Han and Zhao Feiyu again at Jingwu University.

After Lin Baiwei left, Zhao Tianlong asked about Chu Han's withdrawal from Third High School and helped him register for the Martial Arts Grand Examination under his identity as a martial artist.

For Zhao Tianlong, this matter was merely a word, yet it saved Chu Han a great deal of time.

Chu Han thanked Zhao Tianlong, then left the President's Office with Zhao Feiyu.

They still had one more thing to do: collect the cultivation methods and martial skills granted after martial artist certification.

The two arrived at the True Martial Pavilion on the second floor of the Martial Artist Association. Here, they could use the Martial Artist Medals they had obtained to select cultivation methods and martial skills of different grades.

A newly certified 1st Rank Martial Artist could receive one D-rank Cultivation Method and one D-rank Martial Skill. A 2nd Rank Martial Artist could receive C-rank ones, and so on.

Chu Han's selection authority had naturally reached B-rank.

Although Zhao Feiyu had a Lineage inheritance, he could also cultivate other cultivation methods and martial skills.

He chose two wind-attribute cultivation methods and martial skills.

Chu Han, on the other hand, chose the fire attribute.

After his talent had been upgraded, combined with his previous absorption of Red Scale Python blood, his body had become extremely compatible with fire-attribute Elemental Power.

By cultivating the fire attribute, he could grow stronger faster.

Thus, he chose a B-rank Flame Swallowing Art cultivation method and a B-rank Flame Explosive Fist martial skill.

Although he could not cultivate the method yet, using the martial skill together with his talent was completely possible.
