The battle was decided in an instant—and it was a complete crush.
The onlookers stood dumbfounded.
That was it?
Li Lei, who had loudly called someone else trash, was effortlessly taken down by the very person he had insulted. So who was the real trash?
"What a letdown. I thought this guy was something special, but he's all bark and no bite."
"I misjudged him. This young brother here is the real deal—he carried himself like a true expert from start to finish. Definitely no trash."
"I agree. That movement technique he used just now was nearly at perfection. That's the mark of a genius!"
In an instant, everyone had become Chu Han's supporters.
"Take him to the medical room—there are doctors there to treat him."
Zhang Qiuyue told Li Lei's other two classmates to take him for treatment.
At the same time, she was stunned by the strength Chu Han had displayed, a flicker of admiration in her eyes.
She remembered that a month ago, Chu Han had been far weaker than this.
"You're amazing! I believe you can become a powerful martial artist. I support you! Keep it up!"
Zhang Qiuyue pumped her fist at Chu Han, then opened a training room for him and handed him a training card.
"Don't worry—I won't let down anyone who supports me!"
Chu Han took the training card and eagerly headed off to train.
Entering the training room, he first walked over to a strength testing machine.
Sitting down, he gripped the push bar with his left hand.
With a sudden burst of force, he pushed upward!
"Boom!"
The entire machine shuddered, and the numbers on the screen in front of him began to race upward.
892...
977...
1055...
1298...
1380!
The final number stopped at 1380.
"1380 jin—my left arm strength is already far above the minimum threshold for a Quasi-Martial Artist!"
Chu Han tried a few more times, and his left arm strength stabilized around 1400 jin.
Next, he tested his right arm strength, which ultimately settled around 1500 jin.
Both arms had already far exceeded the requirements for a Quasi-Martial Artist.
Then, he walked over to the Punch Power Tester, ready to test his punching power.
There were two ways to qualify as a Quasi-Martial Artist: one was to have a single-arm strength of 1000 jin, and the other was to achieve a punch force of 2000 jin.
As long as one could deliver a 2000-jin punch, even if their base strength fell short, they would still meet the criteria.
Moreover, punch power better reflected a person's control over their own muscles and bones. The stronger the control, the better their force application technique, allowing them to unleash even greater strength.
Ultimately, judging a martial artist's strength came down to how much combat power they could actually bring to bear. Otherwise, even the highest raw strength was just for show.
A two-fold punch amplification was the bare minimum. A Quasi-Martial Artist with a thousand jin of strength could typically deliver at least a 2000-jin punch.
Someone more skilled might even achieve a three-fold increase. And if they used martial techniques, five-fold or even ten-fold punch power was perfectly normal.
"Bam!"
Chu Han slammed his fist into the Punch Power Tester, and a thunderous sound echoed through the training room.
The numbers on the tester's panel began to climb rapidly.
3500...
4200...
5001...
5733...
6056.
That single punch had delivered 6000 jin of force—a four-fold amplification.
"Just as I expected. My Basic Fist Technique has reached perfection, and with the changes in my bone structure and physique, its power is already close to that of an ordinary martial technique."
"But this isn't my limit yet."
Chu Han's eyes shot a sharp gleam—he already sensed that his Basic Fist Technique still had room for improvement.
So he kept punching the Punch Power Tester, constantly adjusting his striking technique, honing his Basic Fist Technique.
With the Ten Thousand Times Talent, every punch he threw was better than the last; each strike revealed the flaws of the previous one, steadily refining his fist skills.

The numbers on the tester kept refreshing.
6100... 6200... 6300... 6500... 6800... 7000...
Finally, the theoretical methods in Chu Han's mind and his body's movements achieved a perfect fusion, unleashing the most flawless punch he had ever thrown!
"Bam!"
The number on the Punch Power Tester surged again.
Chu Han's Basic Fist Technique had advanced further, reaching the realm of mastery!
"7,700 jin!"
"A 5-fold boost!"
Chu Han was overjoyed—his ordinary punch alone could deliver an amplification comparable to a martial skill.
If he were to cultivate an actual fist martial art, he couldn't imagine how devastating the power would be!
Right now, relying solely on Basic Fist Technique, Basic Movement Technique, and Basic Saber Technique, he could already unleash combat strength far beyond an ordinary Quasi-Martial Artist.
If he used a martial skill or activated the "Stone Skin" talent, his combat power would skyrocket.
Even if his opponent were a true Martial Artist, he wouldn't be afraid.
"The day after tomorrow's Wilderness Training Camp will be the place where I soar!"
Chu Han clenched his fists, brimming with motivation.
He now had a general understanding of his own strength.
Next came the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique—the main reason he had come here.
In two days, he would push his power to the level of a Martial Artist!
He sat cross-legged, assuming the first posture of the Nine Heavens Body Tempering Technique.
"Sss~"
The excruciating pain struck again, like ten thousand needles piercing, skin peeling, flesh scraping!
"No matter how much it hurts, I have to endure!"
Chu Han gritted his teeth, following the breathing rhythm of the Body Tempering Technique. He could feel every cell in his body opening up, waves of heat drilling into his flesh and skin.
This was his body absorbing Elemental Power.
Each posture had to be held for at least one minute to achieve the best cultivation effect.
After a minute, Chu Han collapsed to the ground, his body drenched in sweat. The pain rapidly faded, replaced by a surging vitality and strength throughout his entire being.
"Such a domineering Body Tempering Technique! Truly terrifying!"
Chu Han quickly got up and began attempting the second posture.
The pain of the second posture was no less than the first—in fact, it was even more intense.
Fortunately, Chu Han had mentally prepared himself and gritted his teeth to endure.
Then came the third posture, the fourth...
The first layer of the Body Tempering Technique had a total of 36 postures, and Chu Han was conquering them one by one.
He was in pain yet joyful, practically cultivating with reckless abandon.
By the time the morning had passed, he had finally completed the 36th posture and could feel a significant boost in his strength.
So he performed all 36 postures in sequence, one after another.
Instantly, a stream of heat formed a cycle within his body, and a vortex of Elemental Power even appeared at his Dantian, drawing in external Elemental Power continuously.
The speed of absorbing Elemental Power suddenly increased several times over!
"Amazing! No wonder it's an S-rank Body Tempering Technique!"
Chu Han was ecstatic—as long as he kept cycling through the 36 postures, the Elemental Power vortex in his body would persist!
"Grrr..."
Just then, his stomach let out a protest.
Chu Han realized he was hungry.
He checked the time—it was exactly noon.
"Time to go eat, or my body will start wasting away."
Chu Han stood up and stopped his cultivation.
Before heading out, he went over to the strength testing machine.
"Let's see how much my strength has increased."
He shoved the test lever hard with his left arm, and the final strength number settled at 1550.
"1550—my left arm's strength went up by 150 jin! That's as good as a Supreme Strength Pill!"
Chu Han couldn't believe the number before his eyes, so he tried his right arm.
1650!
His right arm had also gained 150 jin of strength!
"This is amazing!"
Chu Han laughed heartily as he left the training room.
