Gao Wu: My martial arts technique has entries.

Chapter 21 Internal Strength
Chu Kuang practiced all day, and after school, as usual, he went to the Lin family first to tutor Lin Shuya for an hour and a half.

It must be admitted that Lin Shuya's talent is really not low. Chu Kuang estimated that her comprehension and aptitude are at least eighth or even ninth grade.

She learns two forms of each of the three basic martial arts techniques every day. Normally, it would take an elementary school student two or three hours to learn them, but Lin Shuya only needs an hour and a half to learn them.

Chu Kuang doesn't need to teach too much; he just needs to review at home every day, and his homework is checked the next day.

"This child is very smart. It looks like she will be able to master the basic external skills in another half month."

Before leaving, Chu Kuang gave Lin Shuyao some words of advice, saying with some relief.

Individually, having a third-grade root bone and comprehension is not too exaggerated; all the students in the top class of No. 3 Middle School have root bones of grade seven or above.

However, those who possess both the comprehension and innate talent of the highest rank are among the top ten even in the Third Middle School, and Lin Shuya is likely to have talent of at least the eighth rank in both categories.

"Her talent is indeed remarkable."

Lin Shuyao nodded, and thinking of her grandfather's birthday soon, she said firmly, "But I will make up for my lack of natural talent sooner or later."

Chu Kuang's heart stirred. For someone with a powerful background like Lin Shuyao, it was not impossible to find a treasure that could replenish one's innate talent.

However, such a treasure was clearly beyond Chu Kuang's reach, so he asked, "I heard that the school has a special technique to improve one's physical constitution, but even with your qualifications, you can't get your hands on it?"

"It's not that we can't get it, but the conditions for practicing this kind of technique are very demanding."

Lin Shuyao shook her head, then sighed and said, "That's for those with exceptional comprehension. Without exceptional comprehension, it's very difficult to even begin to cultivate it."

"I tried, but unfortunately I failed in the end."

Chu Kuang's heart sank, then he remembered his cultivation technique entries: "I wonder if my cultivation technique entries are useful for cultivating this special technique?"

However, he quickly put the idea aside.

To prevent it from falling into the hands of alien races, the Federation strictly controls this special cultivation technique. Unless he can obtain unanimous approval from the school's higher-ups, it is impossible to apply for such a technique.

"To obtain this special skill, I must attract the attention of the school's higher-ups."

"To get the attention of the school's higher-ups, I need to be in the top 100 in the final exams, and preferably in the top 10 or even higher."

Chu Kuang put aside his thoughts, got up and left the Lin family.

Not long after Chu Kuang left, Lin Shuya came up and said, "I heard that Brother Chu once ranked over 500th in the Tianheng Ranking Tournament. It seems that I was right after all."

"Sister, you really don't seize the opportunity."

Lin Shuyao frowned slightly, then shook her head and sighed, "Dad checked his shopping records, and his family bought three energy potions recently."

Lin Shuya was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. It turned out that Chu Kuang's external martial arts, spear techniques, and movement skills had all reached perfection. While Lin Xianghong was increasing his tutoring fees, he also took the opportunity to check Chu Kuang's family's shopping records.

Originally, Lin Xianghong thought that if Chu Kuang was truly a person of exceptional comprehension and a hidden gem, then the Lin family would lend a helping hand.

However, Lin Xianghong eventually discovered that Chu Kuang had used three source energy potions in succession, and immediately gave up the idea of ​​sponsoring Chu Kuang.

After all, Chu Kuang's breakthrough was achieved solely through the source energy potion, suggesting that his comprehension was not that extraordinary. While ordinary superior comprehension is considered one in a hundred, it is utterly insignificant in the eyes of a transcendent expert like Lin Xianghong.

“But I always felt that Teacher Chu was very different,” Lin Shuya said.

"Oh?" Lin Shuyao asked with a smile, "How is it different?"

Lin Shuya pondered for a moment before speaking, "He is very confident and calm, just like my father." Lin Shuyao paused, recalling the changes in Chu Kuang over the years.

From the very first meeting, Chu Kuang remained calm and composed. Whether he was initially praised for his talent or later faded into obscurity and was considered to have lost his spark, he always seemed very calm.

That calmness and composure didn't seem feigned; it was more like confidence. He seemed to know that he would rise to prominence sooner or later.

What am I thinking?

Lin Shuyao shook her head, dismissing the thought: "If he were truly that kind of prodigy, how could he be trapped by mere basic cultivation techniques, unable to break through even after several years of stagnation?"

"..."

When Chu Kuang returned home, he found that the nutrient solution and energy potion had been delivered.

He accepted the energy potions and nutrient solutions, then patted Chu Yu and said, "I'm going into seclusion to break through to the next level. You can review the material on your own today."

"Ah."

Chu Yu nodded understandingly, and then began practicing basic external martial arts in the living room.

Chu Kuang nodded slightly upon seeing this, guessing that Chu Yu had inherited his father's comprehension. Chu Yu learned basic martial arts quite quickly, but unfortunately, his physical constitution was probably only average.

This is unavoidable; unless there is a genetic mutation, the offspring of ordinary people are generally of average quality.

Unless Chu Kuang can find a rare treasure to improve Chu Yu's physical attributes, Chu Yu's physical attributes will most likely only be at the third or fourth grade level.

Of course, these are things that Chu Kuang is not capable of doing right now. His immediate priority is to perfect his basic internal skills as soon as possible.

"With the source energy potion, I can also try to break through to perfection in my basic internal skills."

Upon arriving at the martial arts room, Chu Kuang immediately locked the door from the inside, then took out the nutrient solution and energy potion, a look of anticipation and solemnity appearing in his eyes.

Unlike before, this time Chu Kuang is aiming to break through the basic internal energy cultivation.

Compared to external martial arts training, internal martial arts training is generally only required in the latter half of the apprenticeship level. Most students in the class have only achieved a basic level of internal martial arts, and they have only laid a foundation without much further training.

In ancient times, to cultivate internal energy, one had to first achieve the perfection of body tempering, and then refine essence into power to cultivate internal energy and temper the five internal organs.

In this day and age, although people with high talent for internal energy can cultivate it earlier, this requires a large amount of nutrient solution, which is not something that ordinary families can afford.

Moreover, compared to external martial arts training, breaking through the realm of internal martial arts is much more difficult.

Fortunately, comprehension provides a greater boost to internal energy cultivation. With Chu Kuang's comprehension at the seventh rank and his life level already at the sixth rank, he has met the requirements to perfect his basic internal energy cultivation.

Even so, Chu Kuang dared not say that he would definitely be able to break through to perfection in his internal energy cultivation.

If Chu Kuang fails this time, he will have no hope of breaking into the top 500 in the short term, and it will probably take a long time before he can try again.

"If I press on with my momentum, I will surely break through."

Chu Kuang whispered, instantly making up his mind.

He had reached the limit of the Great Completion stage of his basic internal skills two days ago, but he was stuck at 99% of the Great Completion stage and could not make any further progress. There was no point in dragging it out any longer, so he might as well make a breakthrough in one go.
