Everything Jiang Chen said just now was correct, which forced Shen Xiangtian to believe that this young man, who had only studied the Cultivation Technique for a few days, was even more proficient in his family's Cultivation Technique than he was after several decades of immersion.
This discovery filled him with deep remorse for his earlier impoliteness. His old face flushed a bright red!
It was only now that Chen Jiantao understood why Shen Xiangtian had said 'comfortable' earlier and turned his head to look at Jiang Chen with a face full of shock. He knew that Shen Xiangtian had been modifying their family's Cultivation Technique, but he hadn't imagined that Jiang Chen could spot it after such a brief exposure to it and even point out its flaws.
That was incredible!
Involuntarily, he also felt a profound admiration well up in his heart!
Shen Zhenguo and Zhang Qiang exchanged glances, both revealing an extremely shocked expression in their eyes. They had no idea that Shen Xiangtian had been secretly modifying the Cultivation Technique. Now that Jiang Chen pointed it out, and seeing Shen Xiangtian's current expression, they immediately felt a new level of reverence for Jiang Chen!
"Mr. Jiang, the Cultivation Technique..." Shen Zhenguo suddenly recalled that Jiang Chen had said he would help them mend the Cultivation Technique. Now that Jiang Chen had demonstrated a strong understanding of their own family's technique, could it be that the one Mr. Jiang modified is now perfect?
Shen Zhenguo looked at Jiang Chen with a face full of expectation.
Zhang Qiang and the others also suddenly realized this point, and immediately turned their eyes toward Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with hopeful expressions.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, took out a yellowed booklet from his backpack, and handed it to Shen Xiangtian: "This is your family's Cultivation Technique. I have finished mending it. You are the only one present who can verify it, so give it a try!"
Shen Xiangtian's eyes brightened, and he quickly started to read the Cultivation Technique.
As he read, Shen Xiangtian suddenly looked up at Jiang Chen with a shocked expression. Shen Zhenguo's expression changed, and he was just about to inquire when Shen Xiangtian buried his head again and continued to read intently.
The expression on Shen Zhenguo's face shook, and he looked up at Jiang Chen in utter shock. Originally, he had not believed that Jiang Chen could truly mend their Cultivation Technique, but now, Shen Xiangtian's reaction had suddenly injected him with a strong dose of hope in his heart.
Could it be truly perfected already?
Shen Zhenguo held his breath, staring intently at Shen Xiangtian.
The flaws in their Cultivation Technique had always been a big concern for Shen Zhenguo. Due to this technique, he had become disabled, and both his disciples and son had sustained internal injuries, which caused him deep guilt and a constant desire to see the Cultivation Technique mended.
Now that hope was in front of him, Shen Zhenguo became more anxious than he ever was, feeling even more nervous than when he was fighting a desperate battle against people from Beihai National on the battlefield.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
All of a sudden, Shen Xiangtian snapped the book of the Cultivation Technique shut and began to practice the punches on his own, his figure continuously moving around the room.
Jiang Chen was momentarily taken aback, then smiled knowingly and turned to sit down at a table aside.
Shen Zhenguo and Zhang Qiang were both shaken, recognizing that Shen Xiangtian was performing the punches from their Cultivation Technique, but with slight differences!
And as he continued practicing, Shen Xiangtian's face started showing a look of joy and surprise.
Moments later, he suddenly stopped moving and burst out into a satisfied laugh: "Haha! Haha... Amazing! I have never felt so exhilarated!"
Shen Zhenguo and the others' faces were suddenly seized with jubilant expressions.
"Xiangtian, do you feel..." Shen Zhenguo eagerly began, but suddenly stopped, staring in astonishment at his son.
"Thud! Bang!"
Shen Xiangtian finished laughing, his figure suddenly dropped low, and he knelt down in front of Jiang Chen, heavily kowtowing and looking up at Jiang Chen with reverence mixed with deep apology: "Mr. Jiang, I am sorry for having offended you. Please punish me!"
"Captain Shen, please get up!" Jiang Chen reached out to help Shen Xiangtian up, smiling lightly as he said, "I understand."
"Senior Brother!" Zhang Qiang called out urgently, his face full of eagerness as he looked at Shen Xiangtian. Shen Zhenguo, too, wore an expression of anticipation, staring intently into Shen Xiangtian's eyes.
Even though Shen Xiangtian's performance had already proven everything, they still wanted to hear Shen Xiangtian personally voice the answer they were longing for!
"The modified Cultivation Technique Mr. Jiang revised is immensely smooth in practice, without the slightest hint of stagnation. I've never felt so comfortable practicing my martial arts!
I am convinced!
Truly convinced!"
Shen Xiangtian said excitedly to his father and Zhang Qiang.
"Really! That's wonderful!"
"Mr. Jiang, I admire you! Even an old man like me is convinced!"
Zhang Qiang and Shen Zhenguo both shouted excitedly, with Zhang Qiang even bowing to Jiang Chen once more.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing much. As long as you practice according to this, it won't cause you any more hidden injuries!"
Stepping forward to Shen Zhenguo, Jiang Chen said softly, "Mr. Shen, let me take another look at your injury."
"Sure!" Shen Zhenguo nodded repeatedly.
After performing acupuncture on Shen Zhenguo again, Jiang Chen chuckled and said, "Mr. Shen's internal injury is almost healed, but the state of your body is still somewhat poor from years of neglect. I can help you recuperate fully. However, as I mentioned yesterday, we're temporarily short of some medicinal ingredients. It will take some time, but after your body is taken care of, you'll be able to stand up again!"
"Really? Can Master really stand up again?" Zhang Qiang looked at Jiang Chen with joy and surprise on his face.
Jiang Chen nodded confidently, "Of course."
"Master, did you hear that? You really can stand up again!" Zhang Qiang said excitedly, holding Shen Zhenguo's hand.
Shen Zhenguo smiled and nodded, but he said nothing. His eyes betrayed a hint of skepticism, yet he concealed it well.
He knew his own body best. He had indeed been excited when Jiang Chen first mentioned it, but after thinking it through more calmly, he realized that his legs had been numb for many years, with the muscles almost entirely necrotic and the blood vessels withered beyond recognition. Now that there was feeling and movement, he was already very content. The likelihood of standing again seemed far too remote.
Shen Xiangtian's gaze shifted subtly, glancing at his father's legs, a trace of sorrow emerging in his eyes. If it had been a few years earlier, he might have believed that Jiang Chen could help Shen Zhenguo stand once more, but now... sigh.
Jiang Chen noticed the expressions of Shen Zhenguo and the others, smiled faintly, and didn't offer much of an explanation.
Some things are better shown than told with convincing words.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm currently serving as the captain of the Long Ya special forces team; if you ever need anything in the future, feel free to call me," Shen Xiangtian changed the subject and took out his phone to exchange numbers with Jiang Chen.
After saving Shen Xiangtian's number, Jiang Chen imparted a few instructions on practicing the corrected Cultivation Technique and then bid farewell, leaving the Lin Family residence.
Having reached home just in time for dinner, Jiang Chen headed to the dining room.
"Ah, back just in time for a meal again, how punctual," Gong Yue remarked with a mocking glance at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen glanced at Gong Yue, ignoring her, and then turned to Gong Lin as he took his seat, "Yu Wan and I have completed our registration at Dingjing University; we'll start attending classes tomorrow."
Gong Yue immediately widened her eyes in disbelief, "What? Jiang Chen, are you really the one going to classes?"
