"Son, show me your superpower." Chu Xingguo couldn't wait to ask Chu Lingjun questions after the joyous dinner.
Chu Lingjun raised his right hand, and a blue electric snake surged out from his palm. It then circled around Chu Lingjun's arm and swam up and down.
"You have lightning powers!"
Although he heard about it in advance, Chu Xingguo couldn't help but feel excited when he saw his son's superpower with his own eyes. His eyes lit up.
"Your lightning powers are strong. I'm assuming that you're skilled in controlling it?"
He was a veteran, after all. Chu Xingguo had rich combat experience and could often see all kinds of espers on the battlefield, so he could tell at a glance that Chu Lingjun was different.
Usually, people who had just awakened their superpowers would be unfamiliar with using them. There was even a risk of losing control and hurting themselves.
However, the way Chu Lingjun handled it showed no sense of hesitation — every action was seamless.
The blue lightning was like a docile fairy, meandering in his hand.
"My spiritual power is relatively high, so I can control it better after practice."
"I see!" Chu Xingguo suddenly understood.
"So I heard you're class monitor?"
"Yes, I'm currently the strongest in the class now."
Chu Xingguo suched in a breath of cold air. He touched his buzz cut and rubbed his face.
He looked at the blue electric arcs dancing and flickering in Chu Lingjun's hand, and still couldn't believe the news!
"Within the three generations of the Chu family, only you have awakened your superpower!"
Chu Xingguo said with a bitter smile. He felt like he was in a dream. The things that had happened recently were compiling and he hadn't fully processed everything.
Fortunately, everything was developing in a good direction.
"Did you also cultivate martial arts?" Chu Xingguo asked the doubt in his heart.
"Yes."
Under normal circumstances, not many people would practice both martial arts and hone their superpowers at the same time.
One's time and energy were limited, and one could not have both without having to sacrifice something. If one wanted both, it would often only lead to being a master of none.
Whether it was martial arts or superpowers, the further one progressed, the harder it was to cultivate and fine tune each skill.
However, there were exceptions.
Some super geniuses would choose to dual cultivate.
Some people who were trapped in the field of superpowers and could not advance an inch further would also choose to dual cultivate.
For example, a certain esper who had been stuck at the advanced stage of Rank Three and had no hope of advancing would cultivate martial arts to get stronger. This way, he could increase his strength and handle his superpowers.
People like Chu Lingjun who had just awakened and had yet to reach a bottleneck before would always choose to dual cultivate!
Chu Xingguo frowned and said, "Aren't you under too much pressure? Why don't you focus on your superpower first, and when you're tired of practicing thunder techniques, or when you're stuck, you can go back to practicing martial arts?"
"Martial arts can be cultivated at any time. There's no hurry. Dad, my superpower is quite special. My lightning can temper the body to help strengthen it. That's why it's easier for me to practice martial arts compared to others. My homeroom teacher told me all about it. He was the one that suggested to me to dual cultivate."
Upon hearing that it was the homeroom teacher's suggestion, Chu Xingguo was stunned for a moment and immediately became hesitant. "Alright... Then you should listen to him well!"
Chu Lingjun smiled. He didn't expect that he would be able to get away with it so easily.
At this time, Chu Xingguo thought of something and stood up with a serious expression. "Since you're sure that you want to walk the path of martial arts, I should at least support you. I can only teach you the martial arts moves of the Cannon Fist."
"Sounds great!" Chu Lingjun's eyes immediately lit up, he had been looking forward to it.
Previously, Chu Xingguo had only taught him the cultivation method of the Cannon Fist, but he had not taught him the specific fist techniques.
"Let's go to the back of the neighborhood." The house was too small to handle the fight.
"Alright."
There was a martial arts field behind the residence. There were many sports equipment, practicing men, and granite boulders on the field. The people in the neighborhood often came here to practice martial arts.
Chu Xingguo brought Chu Lingjun here. Night was upon them, so there weren't many people around.
Chu Xingguo walked to a giant rock that was as tall as him. As his hands hung down, his aura immediately changed!
A second ago, he was still an amiable father, but in the next second, he had become a valiant martial artist. His expression changed as he looked ahead!
"There are a total of eight moves for the Cannon Fist. They are known as the Eight Forms of Cannon Fist!
"These eight styles are Mountain Splitting Cannon, Chain Cannon, Flying Cloud Cannon, Diamond Cannon, Turning Cannon, Wind Chasing Cannon, Mine Cannon, and Sky Soaring Cannon."
"I can only teach you the first three moves, Mountain Splitting Cannon, Chain Cannon, and Flying Cloud Cannon."
"Why?"
Chu Xingguo scratched his head and said awkwardly.
"That's because I don't know the last few moves…
"The fourth move, which is the Diamond Cannon, requires at least a Rank Two martial artist to use it. I'm only a Level One martial artist.
"However, you can go to the military to verify the exchange in the future. You are a direct family member of the Chu family, so the military will provide the instructions to you for free."
"Alright." Chu Lingjun nodded.
This was indeed one of the benefits of the army.
Chu Xingguo immediately set up his fist stance again. He threw out a few punches, and the air whistled. His temperament once again changed back to that of a tough soldier, and his blood boiled in his veins.
"The fist you punch can be as powerful as a cannon, thus providing the name. I will first teach you the first move, Mountain Splitting Cannon."
Chu Xingguo took a deep breath as he spoke, and the blood in his body slowly boiled.
Then, with his waist as the center, a powerful force was emitted from his waist. Then, his spine suddenly arched like a huge python, producing a powerful force that penetrated the air.
The air around exploded as Chu Xingguo's attack moved like an unstoppable battering ram, smashing onto the granite boulder!
With a loud bang, the boulder that was placed in front of Chu Xingguo moved back half a meter under this attack!
With a few cracking sounds, the spot where the fist hit the granite boulder cracked like a spider web. The smoke disappeared, showing a dent in the boulder!
Chu Lingjun stared at this scene with his mouth agape. "That was so cool! You're so strong!"
"Of course," Chu Xingguo winked at his son and forced a smile, "The Cannon Fist is one of the most popular martial arts in the army. Military cultivation techniques are all about being practical and using strength to break through techniques! The Cannon Fist can unleash two to three times the strength of a cultivator, so many people in the team like to use this method the most."
That's right, the most important thing in the army was to kill the enemy quickly in a short period of time!
Being able to unleash two or three times the strength of one's body was naturally favored by many.
"Come, I'll teach you how to do the same."
"Okay!"
