Ten Thousand Times Talent, Remolding Martial Arts!

With a thought, a Fine Steel Long Blade appeared in Chu Han's hand.

An inscription on it read: "Fine Steel Long Blade: forged from fine steel, quality equivalent to an E-grade Weapon."

Swish, swish, swish!

Chu Han swung the blade a few times, and cold light flashed in all directions.

Now that his Basic Saber Technique had reached the Perfection realm, the blade in his hand had become an extension of his arm, moving at his will, free and controlled.

"Fine blade! Worthy of an E-grade Weapon!"

He knew that an E-grade Weapon was worth at least tens of thousands of Federal currency.

For Chu Han as he was now, that was still quite a luxury.

With this Fine Steel Long Blade, he saved himself a good deal of money.

Moreover, when he ventured into the wilds three days from now, he could use this blade as his weapon.

Before this, the sabers Chu Han had used to practice Basic Saber Technique were all practice weapons, unsuitable for actual combat.

"First, the first form of the Seven Forms of the Army Breaker!"

Chu Han poured all his strength into his body and slashed out, the blade tracing a streak of silver light!

The air ahead was instantly torn apart by the blade's edge, letting out a sharp hiss.

"Done!"

Chu Han was overjoyed.

The Seven Forms of the Army Breaker had already taken shape in his mind. The first form was the simplest, and it succeeded on the very first strike.

"Second form!"

He slashed again, faster and fiercer, and the second form was completed with ease!

Then came the third form, still a success on the first try!

It wasn't until the fourth form that his power transmission faltered slightly, causing the technique to fail.

Because starting from the fourth form, one needed to infuse Elemental Power into the saber technique to achieve twice the power of the third form; relying solely on physical strength was nearly impossible.

Without sufficient Elemental Power, the fourth form's power could not be unleashed.

Elemental Power, as it was called, was a special cosmic energy that martial artists in this world cultivated, existing between heaven and earth.

Even with ordinary exercise, the cells of the human body would autonomously absorb ambient Elemental Power to strengthen the body.

Martial artists were those who could draw Elemental Power into their bodies, and even manipulate it to gain supernatural abilities.

Generally speaking, the more Elemental Power a martial artist had within them, the stronger they were.

Elemental Power could both strengthen the Physical Body and be channeled into weapons to enhance their might, or be released outward to produce Elemental attacks of various attributes.

The best way for a martial artist to absorb Elemental Power was to cultivate a cultivation technique!

Cultivation techniques were methods specifically for training Elemental Power, and practicing them could also grant Elemental Power of different attributes.

For example, someone who cultivated a Fire Attribute technique could release flames even if they hadn't awakened a Fire Attribute talent.

Of course, if a person had awakened a Fire Attribute talent, then cultivating a Fire Attribute technique would yield twice the results with half the effort, and when paired with Fire Attribute martial skills, they could unleash power far beyond the ordinary.

Take Li Mengran, for instance. Her awakened talent was the Ice Spirit Body, so she would definitely choose to cultivate an Ice Attribute technique, and her cultivation speed would far exceed that of normal people.

However, to cultivate a technique, one must first become a martial artist.

Because before a human became a martial artist, all the Elemental Power their body absorbed would be used to strengthen the Physical Body.

The Physical Body was the vessel for a martial artist to contain Elemental Power. The larger and sturdier the vessel, the more Elemental Power it could bear in the future.

Only by laying a solid foundation for the Physical Body would cultivating Elemental Power yield twice the results with half the effort.

Once the Physical Body had been trained to a certain level, the absorbed Elemental Power would actively store itself in the Dantian—this was the mark of a martial artist's initiation.

Chu Han was still far from meeting the requirements of a martial artist. The Elemental Power he could mobilize within his body was insufficient to support the release of the fourth form of the Seven Forms of the Army Breaker.

"Does that mean, before becoming a martial artist, I can only complete half of this fourth form?"

Chu Han looked at the long blade in his hand, lost in thought.

Anyone else would have given up by now, treating it as a skill that could only be unlocked after reaching a certain realm.

But Chu Han was different.

He possessed the Ten Thousand Times Talent!

This wasn't just about learning speed; it was a terrifying insight and deduction ability that cut straight to the essence!

He knew that the essence of the Seven Forms of the Army Breaker was still a technique of power transmission; it was just that the later forms required Elemental Power to assist in delivering that force.

"If I don't use Elemental Power, is it really impossible to achieve that power transmission technique?"

"Why can't I just use pure Physical Body strength to complete this form?"

A wild thought flashed like lightning through Chu Han's mind!

The Ten Thousand Times Talent granted him an incredibly fine and extreme control over his own muscles, fascia, bones, and blood energy, allowing him to unleash several times his normal strength.

"Others can't do it because their control over their physical body isn't precise enough, but I can try!"

A flash of excitement burst in Chu Han's eyes.

He closed his eyes again, beginning to construct the fourth form in his mind without mobilizing any Elemental Power.

After a long moment, Chu Han's eyes snapped open, a sharp light radiating from within.

He gripped the long saber once more, assuming a new stance. The muscles across his entire body tensed in a peculiar way, like a drawn longbow coiled and ready to strike.

There was no fluctuation of Elemental Power—only pure strength gathering within him.

"Chop!"

The long saber tore through the air with a whistling howl.

Because this was his first attempt at modification, he failed to rein in his strength, and the blade slammed heavily into the hard stone slab on the ground.

A thunderous crash rang out. The ground was instantly split open, the saber's body deeply embedded beneath the stone.

Chu Han withdrew the blade and slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

His arm muscles were slightly sore and numb—a normal reaction to unleashing power that momentarily exceeded his current physical limits.

But as he looked at the terrifying gash on the ground, a fierce joy flickered in his eyes.

Though there were still some flaws in controlling his strength, with further refinement, it would absolutely match the original fourth form's power without any difference!

He had succeeded!

Although this move placed an enormous burden on his body and couldn't be sustained as continuously as Elemental Power, it could serve as a trump card in critical moments!

Once he became a martial artist and supplemented it with Elemental Power, the power of this form would inevitably undergo a qualitative transformation!

"Next, I need to keep perfecting the fourth form."

Chu Han calmed his surging blood and qi, then gripped the saber again.

Now that the path was open, all that remained was relentless practice—to familiarize himself with and refine this modified saber technique!

After repeated practice, until his arms were sore and numb, Chu Han's modified fourth form was finally complete.

He trained all the way until nightfall.

Besides perfecting the fourth form, he also practiced the first three forms countless times, engraving all four forms into his muscle memory so that he could wield them freely in battle.

At the same time, his Basic Saber Technique realm had advanced once more, reaching the level of mastery.

Now, as long as he had a saber in hand, even without using martial skills, he could survive in the Wilderness Training Camp.

"There's not much room left to improve my saber technique. The next two days need to focus on boosting my physical strength!"

Chu Han had already planned his next steps in training.

Besides, there were still quite a few Spiritual Medicines in his system space that could enhance his physique, enough to push him quickly to the Quasi-Martial Artist realm!

By the time he returned home, it was already 8 PM.

His mother, Zhang Meilan, was cooking dinner.

She was bent over, stir-frying greens in the wok, her profile looking unusually haggard under the lamplight.

Working three jobs a day, along with prolonged exhaustion and worry over her husband's illness, had accelerated her aging.

Hearing the door open, Zhang Meilan turned around. Seeing it was her son, a gentle smile immediately spread across her face. "Go wash your hands. Dinner will be ready soon."

Watching his mother's weary figure, Chu Han's heart felt as if pricked by a needle.

"Mm."

He walked toward the cramped bathroom.

"Once the Wilderness Training Camp is over, I can legitimately take out Federal currency and resources to support the family. Things at home are bound to improve!"

Chu Han silently vowed.

Though he had money in his space now, he couldn't explain its origin to his parents.

After the training camp, he would have a reason.

"In the future, I have to get my mother some Spiritual Medicine to nourish her body and prolong her life!"

"And I'll heal my father's injuries too!"

At this moment, Chu Han was brimming with motivation.
