Another Way to Use the Flame Swallowing Art

Inside the sales office, everyone's gaze shifted from disdain to awe as they looked at Chu Han.

No one expected this ordinary-looking young man to be a 3rd Rank martial artist!

Chu Zhan and Zhang Meilan stood to the side, their faces filled with pride.

Immediately, Chu Han's family followed Manager Wang to the VIP room, where a virtual screen displayed a panoramic model of the Linjiang residential complex.

The family took a look, and finally, Chu Han pointed to a house and said, "I want this three-bedroom unit. It's well-ventilated from north to south and gets good sunlight."

Manager Wang quickly pulled up the floor plan. "Mr. Chu has excellent taste! Many people have inquired about this unit before. The original price was 10 million, and after a 30% discount, it's 7 million. If you have no issues, we can sign the contract now."

Chu Han cut to the chase, signed the contract, and transferred the payment.

Manager Wang looked at the "Transfer Successful" notification and quickly said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Chu. You and your family can move in anytime. Our company can help you with the move."

"Tomorrow, then," Chu Han nodded.

Director Ling smiled from the side. "Little brother Chu Han, we'll be neighbors from now on. Feel free to come to me anytime if you need anything."

He had always wanted to befriend Chu Han, and now that he knew Chu Han was buying in the Linjiang residential complex, he was very pleased.

"Of course, it's all thanks to Director Ling this time. Otherwise, my house would have probably fallen through."

Chu Han readily accepted Director Ling's goodwill and thanked him, as it saved him a lot of time.

Moreover, he would be going to a martial arts university out of town in the future, and his parents would stay at home.

If he maintained a good relationship with Director Ling, it would be much more convenient for his parents if they needed anything.

After exchanging pleasantries with Director Ling for a few moments, Chu Han and his family bid farewell and returned to their current home.

"I never thought I'd be able to live in the Linjiang residential complex again in this lifetime."

On the way, Chu Zhan kept flipping through the contract, sighing with emotion.

Zhang Meilan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to Xiao Han. We can live a stable life from now on."

Chu Han looked at his parents' smiles, feeling deeply gratified.

His constant pursuit of strength was all for the sake of seeing this scene.

However, buying a house was just the first step. Next, he needed to prepare for the martial arts grand examination, become even stronger, and in the future, completely restore his father's health.

Upon returning home, the family naturally celebrated heartily.

The next morning, Chu Han performed his usual lottery draw.

This time, he won a bottle containing 10 Body Tempering Pills.

After breakfast, the moving crew from the Linjiang residential complex arrived downstairs.

Chu Zhan and Zhang Meilan were sentimental and took many old belongings with them; otherwise, there wouldn't have been much to move.

Furthermore, the houses in the Linjiang residential complex were fully furnished with all sorts of furniture and facilities.

Chu Han transferred 1 million to his parents, telling them to buy whatever new things they liked.

He, on the other hand, headed to the unmanned martial arts school within the Linjiang residential complex, which was available for residents to cultivate in.

With his martial artist identification, he could use it for free, which was a small perk of the Linjiang residential complex.

Moreover, depending on the martial artist's rank, they could use different levels of martial arts school equipment and training rooms.

Chu Han went to a training room on the third floor and took out the martial skill Flame Explosive Fist he had obtained from the Martial Arts Association.

"Let's try this martial skill today."

Chu Han flipped through the Flame Explosive Fist, quickly scanning it, and soon absorbed all the information about this martial skill into his mind.

The Flame Explosive Fist was based on Fire Attribute Origin Energy. When throwing a punch, one needed to compress and condense the Origin Energy onto the fist, then suddenly unleash it, creating a high-temperature flame explosion around the fist, combining impact force with burning damage.

The essence of this martial skill lay in its short charge-up time and quick execution, yet it could still deliver explosive damage.

However, this martial skill had a high requirement for the user's ability to mobilize Origin Energy and also consumed a large amount of Origin Energy.

Furthermore, rapidly mobilizing Fire Attribute Origin Energy placed a considerable burden on the meridians within the body, so the martial skill's advantages and disadvantages were very distinct.

"The way this martial skill generates force is similar to the Explosive Fist, just with the added requirement of Fire Attribute Origin Energy."

Chu Han discovered that the Flame Explosive Fist and the Explosive Fist had many similarities, making it easier to understand.

Soon, he thoroughly understood the Origin Energy circulation route and compression techniques of the Flame Explosive Fist.

He then mobilized the meager trace of Fire Attribute Origin Energy within his body, circulating it along his meridians and quickly gathering it on his right hand.

"Flame Explosive Fist!"

Chu Han threw a punch, and a ball of flame immediately erupted from his fist.

The scorching power roasted the surrounding air, causing it to distort slightly.

However, he quickly realized that the flame explosion effect of this punch was not very good.

The main reason was that he had too little Fire Attribute Origin Energy in his body, only enough to barely unleash a weakened version of the Flame Explosive Fist, with power comparable to his basic punch.

But even this amount of Origin Energy was due to the additional Fire Attribute energy in his body after upgrading his talent.

"It seems I can only use this move in my talent state."

With a thought, Chu Han's body was suddenly enveloped in a layer of dark, light-black crystal armor. Dark red patterns flowed slowly across its surface, and a powerful Fire Attribute Origin Energy erupted from within.

He channeled the Fire Attribute Origin Energy from the armor into his meridians, converging it onto his fist.

"Flame Explosive Fist!"

Chu Han threw another punch.

This time, the Flame Explosive Fist was filled with power!

A violent inferno instantly exploded on Chu Han's fist, engulfing a large area of space before him. The air began to distort wildly, and the Origin Energy shockwave of Fire Attribute made the entire training room tremble.

"Now that's more like it!"

Chu Han smiled as he looked at the terrifying power of the Flame Explosive Fist.

With the enhancement of the Molten Crystal Armor, his Flame Explosive Fist was even stronger!

Next, Chu Han immersed himself in cultivation.

Practicing frantically while the Molten Crystal Armor was active made his use of the Flame Explosive Fist extremely proficient, and he soon mastered it.

However, continuously unleashing the Flame Explosive Fist placed a heavy burden on him.

After half an hour of activating his talent, he was forced to deactivate it.

"As expected, the Flame Explosive Fist isn't suitable for continuous use; the consumption is too great for me."

Chu Han retracted the Molten Crystal Armor, a faint heat lingering on his fingertips.

"It would be great if I could directly cultivate a Cultivation Method."

He thought of another Cultivation Method, the Flame Swallowing Art.

This Fire Attribute Cultivation Method could cultivate Fire Attribute Origin Energy, but his Dantian couldn't store Origin Energy. The cultivated Origin Energy would eventually dissipate, going to waste.

"My Dantian can't store it, but perhaps my body can absorb it!"

A thought suddenly flashed through Chu Han's mind.

"My physical body is far stronger than that of ordinary martial artists, and my meridians are several times tougher. If I directly guide the Fire Attribute Origin Energy absorbed from cultivating the Flame Swallowing Art into my flesh and blood, and then practice the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique, wouldn't I be able to use this Origin Energy for cultivation?"

As soon as this idea emerged, it instantly ignited Chu Han's curiosity.

He immediately sat down cross-legged and quickly flipped through the Flame Swallowing Art.

Then, he began to cultivate according to the Flame Swallowing Art. Before long, he felt a scorching sensation slowly flowing into his body and entering his Dantian.

But his Dantian only served as a transit point for the Origin Energy, not for storage. Soon, this Origin Energy spread throughout his body.

Instantly, his flesh and bones felt a slight burning pain, but this pain wasn't too intense for Chu Han.

If anyone else were to cultivate without being able to store Origin Energy, it would be extremely dangerous, but Chu Han was already accustomed to this life-risking kind of training.

Instead of stopping, he accelerated the speed at which he ran the Cultivation Method.

For a time, countless Fire Attribute Origin Energy madly accumulated within his body.

Soon, Chu Han felt his body reach its limit.

He immediately began to practice the posture for the second level of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique.

As the posture changed, this Origin Energy began to be absorbed by his body, converting into nutrients that strengthened his physique.

"It worked!"
