Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 11 Falling out
"Take it back."

Chu's father finally spoke, a sharp glint in his eyes.

Chu Meng, however, showed a look of surprise and looked at Chu Tianke, saying, "Dad, with this source energy potion, Lin Feng's swordsmanship can also reach its peak."

"I know."

Chu Tianke could not hide his excitement. The reason why Chu Linfeng was able to achieve such great success in external martial arts was because the Chu family spent a lot of money to buy him a source energy potion.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianke looked at his father and said, "Lin Feng's external skills have already reached a high level. If his internal skills can also reach a high level, he will be almost certain to enter the top 100 of his grade and obtain the Dark Domain qualification."

"This is a golden opportunity for my Chu family to rise to prominence, how can you, you beast, be so ungrateful?"

“I’ll take this source energy potion as an apology from you, you wicked beast.”

"You dare!" Father Chu finally snapped, storming into the house and grabbing a long knife, his eyes blazing with murderous intent. "Want to try my sharp knife?"

At this moment, Chu Tianke finally panicked.

Even though Chu's father had lost an arm, he was still at the peak of the Apprentice level, and he had also perfected the intermediate external martial arts. His life level was as high as 8.5, while Chu Meng, who was the highest among those present, only had a life level of 7.5.

If a real fight breaks out, even if Chu's father loses an arm, he might still be able to wipe them all out.

"You beast, do you want to kill your father?"

Thinking of this, Chu Tianke forced himself to remain calm and said.

Parricide is a heinous crime, and it is still considered an unforgivable offense in this day and age.

Chu's father was so angry that he laughed. He pointed his knife at Chu Linfeng and said, "I didn't want to break off relations, but you've really gone too far."

"Even if I don't lay a hand on you today, how about I kill you, you grandson of the Qilin?"

"How dare you...you beast, do you have even the slightest sense of the bigger picture?"

Chu Tianke trembled with rage, his gaze towards his father filled with even more resentment.

Seeing that the situation had reached a stalemate, Chu Kuang immediately spoke up: "Robbing property is a serious crime, and the source energy potion is even more valuable. If you don't want to go in, you'd better hand over the stuff."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianke's expression changed drastically. In this era, the laws are strict, and the Federation is very strict in punishing criminals, after all, the front lines are desperately short of cannon fodder.

Even if it's just a family conflict, the Federation won't try to smooth things over like it did 100,000 years ago.

After all, in this era, human civilization has mastered too many resources. Apart from the strict control over cultivation resources, the human federation provides free money and labor for the basic needs of ordinary people, including food, clothing, housing, and elderly care.

For the vast majority of people who are neglected by their parents, patriotism is more important than love for their family, and naturally, national law takes precedence over family law.

Realizing this, Chu Tianke revealed a face full of resentment. He threw the source energy potion to Chu Kuang with a gloomy expression: "Using this source energy potion on Chu Kuang is just a waste."

"When the final exams come this year, you'll understand what a real gap is."

Seeing the source energy potion return, Chu's mother breathed a sigh of relief and retorted sarcastically, "If Chu Linfeng is really that talented, then let him get a spot in the top 100 of the grade on his own."

"I will."

Chu Linfeng spoke up, glancing at the source energy potion in Chu Kuang's hand, and calmly said, "Cousin, I hope you won't run into me during this year's final exams."

Hearing Chu Linfeng's threatening tone, Chu's parents' gazes darkened.

Chu Meng and Chu Tianke revealed a hint of pride. Chu Linfeng was the prodigy of their Chu family, and he would eventually break through to the Transcendent Realm, and even have a sliver of hope of being admitted to a top-tier martial arts university.

Not to mention, Chu Linfeng's resources are far beyond what Chu Kuang can match.

Over the years, Chu Tianke has had seventeen children and received more than 500,000 yuan in federal bonuses alone. Chu Meng and his wife also have some money on hand.

It was precisely because of this financial support that Chu Linfeng's cultivation progressed so rapidly, making him the third-ranked top student in Class Six.

In their view, with such talent and resources, it would be easy for Chu Linfeng to teach Chu Kuang a lesson.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Chu Linfeng's threat, Chu Kuang calmly said, "Then I am somewhat looking forward to it."

"Humph."

Chu Linfeng scoffed and fell silent.

The three men left somewhat unwillingly after failing to obtain any valuables.

After the three left, Chu's father led them home. The family of four returned to the living room, and Chu's father looked at the source energy potion in Chu Kuang's hand with a look of inquiry in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Chu Kuang said frankly, "After perfecting my external skills, I feel that my strength has improved a lot. Last night, I tried to participate in the Tianheng Star Realm Ranking Competition and made it into the top three thousand to get this interest-free loan."

After hearing the whole story, Mr. and Mrs. Chu exchanged a glance, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

In this day and age, loans are not so easy to obtain. Martial artists like them, who are over forty years old, often can only borrow up to 20,000 or 30,000 yuan because their potential has been exhausted. After all, their annual salary is only around 10,000 yuan.

The fact that Chu Kuang was able to obtain a 100,000 yuan interest-free loan proves that in the eyes of the Tianheng Municipal Government, he is likely to break through to the Transcendent Realm in the future, and repaying the loan will not be a big problem.

Thinking of this, Chu's father asked, "How do you plan to use this source energy potion?"

"I plan to use it to improve my basic shooting skills and then see if I can break into the top 1,000 in ranked matches."

Upon hearing this, Chu's father nodded, his gaze complex, and said, "The basic cultivation technique is a high-grade foundational technique. Once perfected, it will greatly benefit your cultivation of advanced techniques, and may even have a certain effect on breaking through to perfection in advanced techniques." "Since you have made up your mind, then we will support you."

At this point, Chu's father glanced at Chu Yu and then said, "When you have time in the future, take Chu Yu with you to practice martial arts, even if it's just to help him lay a foundation in advance."

"I will."

Chu Kuang nodded. Chu Yu was almost graduating from elementary school, and her bones and muscles had grown quite a bit. Even if she didn't dare to diligently practice basic techniques, it wouldn't be bad to learn a basic style in advance to lay a foundation.

Seeing that he agreed, Chu's father asked again, "The source energy potion is quite valuable, and your grandfather and the others already know about it. To avoid any unforeseen complications, it's best to use it as soon as possible."

Are you confident you can break through?

“I’ve accumulated experience over the years, and I’m ready to give it a try,” Chu Kuang said.

Mr. Chu nodded and said directly, "Then don't delay, I'll send a leave slip to your homeroom teacher."

"it is good."

Chu's father's arrangement was exactly what Chu Kuang wanted, so he took the source energy potion directly to the martial arts room.

When he went to the martial arts room for seclusion, Chu Yu also left home for class, leaving only Chu's father and mother in the living room.

"He's already capable of supporting himself, so you shouldn't take the risk."

Looking at the door to the seclusion room, Chu's mother spoke with some relief.

But Chu's father didn't speak; his expression only grew more resolute, as if he had made up his mind.

Chu's mother's expression changed slightly, and she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still going?"

"This child has good comprehension, but unfortunately his natural talent is lacking."

Father Chu spoke slowly, his gaze deep, "If he can get enough source energy potions, he might be able to cultivate the Bronze Body and completely open the door to martial arts in the future."

Chu's mother fell silent. The Rock Body, the Profound Iron Body, the Desolate Bronze Body, and the Vajra Body are all different realms. Most people in the Transcendent Realm only manage to cultivate the Profound Iron Body, and those who can cultivate the Desolate Bronze Body are also strong individuals in the Transcendent Realm.

Apart from a few in the top classes, most of the teachers at Chu Kuang School only managed to cultivate the Desolate Bronze Body.

However, Chu Kuang's basic external skills are already perfected, and he truly has a chance to cultivate the Desolate Bronze Body.

As the most fundamental and essential skill for humankind, basic external martial arts are notoriously easy to learn but difficult to master.

However, once mastered, the difficulty of cultivating other external skills will be greatly reduced, and the chances of breaking through the bottleneck to perfection will also increase significantly.

Those gifted students in the top classes who have the potential to cultivate an indestructible body will basically perfect their basic external skills.

In this advanced martial arts era, very few people can master basic external skills to perfection, and among ordinary people, the number who can do so is no more than one percent.

To perfect basic external martial arts skills, one needs not only superior physical constitution but also superior comprehension.

Chu Kuang's comprehension is top-notch, but his innate talent is only average, which is a real hindrance to him.

In fact, Chu's father was also quite aptitude. He had cultivated the Desolate Bronze Body back then, which should have been a superior level of aptitude. Unfortunately, his innate talent was only at the third grade, and Chu's mother was only at the fourth grade.

Like begets like. Since the father and mother of Chu were of similar constitution, their child's constitution was naturally not much better.

"It is precisely because of his inherent nature that he needs more resources."

Father Chu spoke slowly and solemnly, saying, "My abilities are limited, but even if I have to do everything in my power, I will support him when he is at his weakest."

“I can’t be like my father, using my own children as blood bags.”

"..."

Chu Kuang was unaware of his father's thoughts. The first thing he did after entering the martial arts room was to lock the door from the inside, then block out all other information before carefully taking out the source energy potion.

A first-tier source energy potion is worth 100,000 Federal Credits. With the money Chu Kuang earns as a tutor, he would have to go 300 days without eating or drinking to buy one. If he still can't master the basic cultivation technique, then he's doomed.

Thinking of this, Chu Kuang glanced at his own panel.

Name: Chu Kuang

slightly……

Skills: Basic External Skills [Perfect 0/3], Basic Internal Skills [Great Success 95%], Iron Armor Skills [Minor Success 66%].

武技：基础拳法【大成98%】、基础枪法【大成99%】、基础身法【大成97%】、镇山拳【初窥42%】、裂金枪【小成5%】。

"The three basic martial arts—fist techniques, internal energy cultivation, and movement techniques—will all take some time to reach their peak."

"The most urgent task is to master marksmanship."

Looking at his various martial arts skills, Chu Kuang continuously evaluated them in his mind.

While basic marksmanship doesn't increase health level, it can significantly boost his combat power.

If his basic spear technique had been perfected yesterday, he wouldn't have been seriously injured when facing Xu Hong. Moreover, after perfecting his basic spear technique, Chu Kuang's Golden Spear technique would probably be mastered very soon.
