S-Class Martial Skill: Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique

The next day, Chu Han sprang out of bed in excitement.

The first thing he did after getting up was, of course, draw the lottery.

The system even thoughtfully gave him a prompt the moment he woke up.

He opened the Lottery Space and silently called for a draw.

At once, the seven-colored roulette spun at high speed.

"Only one chance. I hope I draw something good!"

There was no ten-pull today, only one chance to draw, and Chu Han could not help feeling uneasy.

[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining: S-rank body forging martial skill: Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique! ]

"S-rank? And a body forging martial skill?"

Chu Han could hardly believe his eyes.

He hurriedly checked the Lottery Space, and sure enough, a new cultivation method was stored there.

"Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique! An S-rank body forging martial skill!"

"Hahaha, my luck hasn't run out yet!"

Overjoyed, Chu Han immediately received the martial skill. Basic information about it instantly flooded into his mind.

Although the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique was a martial skill, it was actually a body-refining method. It was divided into nine levels of difficulty, with each level multiplying in difficulty. Training in it was like being cast into an inferno without end, bringing unbearable pain.

Each level contained anywhere from several to dozens of bizarre postures that were incredibly tricky and defied the natural limits of the human body.

These postures aimed to stretch, compress, and twist the body to the utmost extreme, battering the limits of the Physical Body while ensuring that energy could seep into the deepest, tiniest corners of the body.

Simply performing the postures correctly required an enormous expenditure of mental and physical strength, as well as tremendous willpower.

Training in these postures would accelerate the body's absorption of the Elemental Power of heaven and earth, and all that absorbed Elemental Power would be used to temper and strengthen the Physical Body.

With long-term practice, it would greatly enhance the Physical Body's strength, power, speed, endurance, flexibility, and self-healing ability, making one a humanoid ferocious beast.

This body tempering technique imposed no restrictions on a practitioner's cultivation level. It could be used at any realm.

Even if he was not a martial artist, Chu Han could still cultivate it.

"This is perfect! This body tempering technique was practically tailor-made for me!"

Chu Han was instantly thrilled beyond measure.

He hurriedly tried the first-level posture on his bed.

He successfully arranged his limbs into an incredibly tricky posture.

Thanks to the improvements in his physique and flexibility brought by the Ten Thousand Times Talent, this posture posed no difficulty for him.

But the second he settled into position, a pain that pierced deep into his bones shot straight to his head, making him suck in several sharp breaths.

"Hiss! It hurts!"

Chu Han considered his willpower extraordinary, yet this sudden agony still made sweat pour from his entire body.

After holding on for only a little over ten seconds, he returned to a normal posture.

"This simply isn't something an ordinary person can practice!"

Chu Han wiped away the sweat on his body and immediately discovered that his blood and vitality had become incomparably smooth, while every cell in his body was strangely active.

"Could this be the effect of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique?"

Every change in his body was within his grasp, and he knew this condition had not appeared out of nowhere.

It was the effect of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique!

"This is way too amazing!"

A surge of wild joy washed over him, and Chu Han immediately tossed the pain from earlier to the back of his mind.

No matter how painful it was, it was worth it.

He made up his mind. For the next two days, he would focus on cultivating this body tempering technique!

"Dad, Mom, I'm going out to train today!"

After breakfast, Chu Han impatiently left home.

He planned to go to the martial arts hall. On one hand, he could test the results of his training; on the other, he could have a quiet place to cultivate.

In the Martial Dao Era, every city had martial arts halls of all sizes.

The martial arts hall Chu Han went to was called Warhammer Martial Arts Hall. It was located between his home and school. He had worked there before, so he knew the place like the back of his hand.

Chu Han did not waste time on the way there either.

He learned the D-rank movement martial skill Spirit Cat Steps from the Lottery Space.

This movement martial skill was not difficult to cultivate. He quickly got the hang of it, and all that remained was to become more proficient.

He imitated a spirit cat all the way, sometimes stepping silently, sometimes sprinting. His entire body was nimble and ever-changing, his movements strange and unpredictable.

Those who did not know what was going on thought he had been bitten by a dog and was having a rabies relapse.

Only Chu Han himself knew that he was steadily improving.

As he continued on his way, his footwork gradually became light and flowing. This movement martial skill was already nearing mastery.

By the time he arrived at the martial arts hall, the Spirit Cat Steps had completely reached mastery and was approaching perfection.

From then on, he only needed to continue honing this movement martial skill while walking or in actual combat. There was no longer any need for dedicated training.

Such cultivation speed was simply unheard of!

In high spirits, Chu Han pushed open the door and entered the martial arts hall.

The receptionist at Warhammer Martial Arts Hall was a girl in her twenties named Zhang Qiuyue. She wore glasses, had a few freckles on her face, and was on good terms with Chu Han. It was said that she was related to the owner of the martial arts hall.

When Zhang Qiuyue saw Chu Han, she greeted him, "Chu Han, you haven't come to work at the martial arts hall in a long time. Let me think... what day is today?"

Chu Han smiled. "Sister Yue, I came here to train today. Open a training room for me."

Zhang Qiuyue was stunned. "You came to train? That's rare. Oh, right, I heard all the third-year students recently awakened their talents. You must have awakened a powerful talent too, right?"

Seeing the expectant look on Zhang Qiuyue's face, Chu Han truly did not want to tell her that he had not awakened a talent.

"Well, if it isn't Third High School's biggest joke, Chu Han? Over three thousand potential points, yet you still failed to awaken a talent! Hahaha..."

At that moment, an unpleasant voice rang out.

Chu Han turned his head and found three students from the neighboring class.

The leader was named Li Lei, and he was also one of Li Mengran's admirers.

Li Mengran had once complained about this admirer right in front of Chu Han.

But Li Mengran had never even given him a second glance. She only regarded him as a toad lusting after swan flesh.

Because of this, Li Lei held deep hostility toward Chu Han.

Now that he had run into Chu Han at the martial arts hall, he naturally would not miss the chance to mock him.

Li Lei's voice was loud. The moment he spoke, everyone in the martial arts hall began gathering around to watch.

"Chu Han, is what he said true? You... you need to pull yourself together. It's no big deal if you can't become a martial artist."

The moment Zhang Qiuyue saw Chu Han's reaction, she knew Li Lei was telling the truth and hurriedly comforted him.

She was one of the few people who treated Chu Han sincerely well.

Chu Han felt warmth in his heart and smiled. "Sister Yue, thank you. I've never been discouraged, nor have I given up on my dream of becoming a martial artist. Don't worry."

"Haha, what a joke. A piece of trash still dares to brag? This is a martial arts hall, not a place for trash like you!"

Chu Han's continued silence only made Li Lei more arrogant. He took it as a sign that Chu Han was weak.

Li Lei knew Chu Han's family circumstances were poor. The only reason Chu Han had once been able to summon wind and rain at school was because of his high potential.

Now that they were dealing with Chu Han, no one would come to help him.

A cold glint flashed through Chu Han's eyes as he said icily, "If you want to end up like Sun Liqiang, keep talking. Otherwise, shut up."

His icy gaze stabbed toward Li Lei, instantly sending a chill down the latter's spine.

Li Lei subconsciously took half a step back, but before his foot could land, he came to his senses and immediately burned with shame and anger.

He had actually been frightened by a piece of trash?

It was simply unforgivable.

Especially since Chu Han's gaze was cold and indifferent, looking down on everything beneath heaven, exactly the same as when he had been a genius at Third High School. Nothing had changed.

Li Lei felt deeply humiliated.

"Who do you think you are?!"

What gave Chu Han the right to remain so proud, so arrogant?

Li Lei had indeed heard about Sun Liqiang. A man with a B-rank talent had been defeated by talentless Chu Han, but Li Lei only believed that Sun Liqiang had underestimated his opponent and had not mastered his talent sufficiently.

Even if he were beaten to death, he would not believe Chu Han had the ability to defeat a talent wielder.

"Don't compare me to trash like Sun Liqiang. The talent I awakened is Kirin Arm. Though it's also B-rank, it's far stronger than that trash Sun Liqiang!"

Li Lei argued, his face red.

But compared to Chu Han, Li Lei was the one who looked furious and flustered, making the surrounding spectators begin to doubt whether his words were true.

Feeling the doubtful looks around him, Li Lei could no longer endure it and activated his talent.

In an instant, one of his right arms was covered in a layer of scales, brimming with an aura of strength and destruction.

"Hahaha, my talent is the real deal! Chu Han, you'll be the first person defeated by my Kirin Arm. You should feel honored!"

As he spoke, Li Lei took a step and charged at Chu Han.

He clenched the fist of his Kirin Arm. Flames actually ignited around it, and his entire arm immediately let out crackling sounds, looking incomparably powerful.

"What a powerful talent! He wasn't lying!"

"If he wasn't lying, then the other guy is in danger."

The appearance of Li Lei's talent immediately triggered waves of exclamations.

"Chu Han, be careful!"

Zhang Qiuyue also cried out in alarm.

"It's fine."

Chu Han smiled faintly. Then a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes, and his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.

Spirit Cat Steps!

He used the movement martial skill he had just learned, turning into an afterimage as he circled behind Li Lei.

He was so fast that Li Lei had no time to react at all.

Li Lei's Kirin Arm was powerful, but it only strengthened one arm.

With his back door wide open, his defense was far inferior to Sun Liqiang's.

Not to mention that Chu Han had fused with the Stone Skin Talent and consumed five Supreme Strength Pills. His strength had long since changed beyond recognition.

Bang!

Chu Han drove a punch into Li Lei's back, producing a muffled impact.

Li Lei immediately spun through the air, his body smashing viciously into the metal floor of the martial arts hall.

He could not rise again.
