23: Chapter 23 Lin Shi: Is this still my son?

Alan and Tom were pacing anxiously outside the cave. Just as they were about to rush in, clear footsteps could be heard from inside.

"Boss, are you alright!"

Tom slung his gun over his back and shouted at the dark silhouette.

"God bless, the sound just now scared us to death!" Alan quickly added.

"Just had a bit of a breakthrough in my training."

As the figure spoke, he walked out into the sunlight.

When Tom saw clearly who came out, he was completely dumbfounded, with no mind to think about what a breakthrough in training meant.

Before him, Lin Tian's clothes were all torn; his white shirt had several large rips, and his pant legs were significantly shorter.

Previously, ten-year-old Lin Tian was only 1.4 meters tall, but in the blink of an eye, he had grown to nearly 1.6 meters.

Naturally, his clothes no longer fit.

The potion's transformation was all-encompassing.

His skin had become tough, and his muscles were incredibly firm.

His previously slightly chubby physique now looked incredibly lean and strong.

His strength had also increased exponentially.

His mind had also become incredibly clear.

His vision had improved by leaps and bounds; seeing things was like instantly switching from blurry quality to ultra-high definition.

His nerve reflexes were frighteningly fast; he could even clearly see the wings of a mosquito flying past his eyes.

His facial features had become incredibly handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding a mysterious aura.

Looking at this series of changes, the two white bodyguards naturally couldn't believe it.

If his face hadn't remained the same, they would have definitely thought he was a different person.

"My God, Boss, what on earth did you encounter in there?" Alan widened his eyes.

Facing their questioning, Lin Tian smiled and replied: "A breakthrough in Chinese Kung Fu!"

Lin Tian had long since prepared an excuse, intending to introduce the concept of Kung Fu early.

After all, his English name was Bruce Lin.

As for the stock solution, the next reward would only be granted when his assets reached ten million dollars, so there was no point in thinking about it in the near future.

"What is Kung Fu?" The two were confused.

Lin Tian didn't explain much, only saying it was a unique boxing technique from China.

To prove it, he directly raised his leg in a side kick, slamming his foot into a nearby beech tree as thick as a bowl.

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the tree trunk was kicked into two pieces.

The upper half of the trunk flew several meters away before crashing to the ground.

Seeing such superhuman strength with their own eyes, the two foreigners looked at each other, their faces full of shock, their eyes filled with fanaticism.

In fact, Lin Tian himself was also very surprised.

Before the injection, he could at most deal with a few children.

Now, kicking a thick tree trunk in half, his strength far exceeded that of a strong adult man.

He moved his right leg; his bones, muscles, and even skin were not even slightly broken, and it was unimaginably hard.

This was the most impressive part of the transformation.

...

Returning to San Francisco, Lin Tian first changed into a new outfit before heading back to Fu Man Lou Restaurant.

Under the shocked gaze of everyone, he sat down and began to devour his food.

"What's wrong with the young master? He seems like a different person."

Jiang Meier was puzzled on the side.

"Bring five more baskets of beef buns!"

Lin Tian shouted at the waiter without even lifting his head.

The steamer baskets in front of him had already piled up into a small mountain.

The cell transformation urgently needed to replenish a massive amount of energy.

Even after eating dozens of baskets of buns, he still felt hungry.

The steaming buns were brought up, and a large meat bun would be in his stomach in three bites.

After eating crazily like this for an hour, his stomach finally felt full, and Lin Tian slowly put down his chopsticks.

Everyone in the shop stared at him as if they were looking at a monster.

They even forgot to eat their own meals, all watching his performance.

"Young master, are you alright?"

Jiang Meier was full of worry, fearing he might burst his stomach.

"Don't worry, it's just a breakthrough in my training." Lin Tian replied casually.

"Training?"

Jiang Meier knew that the Lin family had a tradition of martial arts; she had seen the young master get up early to practice horse stance and boxing before.

She heard it was a skill passed down from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom era.

But in her view, it was nothing more than fancy footwork, similar to dancing.

But upon hearing that training could make a person grow a head taller, she was also stunned.

Yesterday, the young master only reached her chest, but today he was almost as tall as her.

What is Kung Fu?

Jiang Meier, a Chinese person, didn't understand it at all.

Alan and Tom, the two foreigners, felt this fighting technique was miraculous and insisted on learning it.

Lin Tian simply shoved a tattered copy of "The Analects" into their hands and told them to find someone to learn Chinese first.

Looking at the pages filled with dense square characters, the two foreigners stared at each other blankly.

Fooling laymen wasn't a real skill.

In the evening, when Lin Shi returned home and saw his son's change, he immediately straightened his face and asked: "What's going on? I don't remember our family having any martial arts that make people grow taller in a day."

"Dad, don't ask too much; it's a great thing anyway!" Lin Tian brushed him off.

Of course, he couldn't reveal the system.

This was his biggest trump card for standing his ground.

"Fine."

Lin Shi was silent for a moment, looking at Lin Tian, who had grown into a young lad before him, "I won't ask about your secrets, but does this change really have no harm to your body?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Lin Tian guaranteed.

"No, I must immediately invite Old Wu over to take your pulse!"

Lin Shi was simply not reassured and immediately sent someone to Chinatown to invite a traditional Chinese doctor.

More than an hour later, a carriage brought a white-haired old man to the restaurant.

Upon meeting, Lin Shi respectfully cupped his hands: "Old Wu, I'm truly sorry for troubling you to come all this way late at night!"

The immortal-looking Old Wu stroked his beard and replied with a smile: "Lin Boss, you are too polite. If you speak, this old man would rush here even if I were at the ends of the earth!"

After speaking, he turned to look at Lin Tian and exclaimed in surprise: "Yo, is this the young master? Vibrant and spirited, standing tall like a pine and cypress, how does this look like he is sick?"

"Hello, Grandpa Wu!" Lin Tian greeted him honestly.

This Old Wu had superb medical skills.

The USA did not recognize traditional Chinese medicine, so he usually secretly ran a pharmacy in Chinatown.

Fortunately, with the gangs looking out for him, there had been no trouble.

Although he knew he had no problems, Lin Tian still extended his hand for Old Wu to take his pulse.

Old Wu closed his eyes, his fingers resting on his wrist.

His brows furrowed and smoothed out from time to time.

Finally, the old man suddenly widened his eyes: "Lin Boss, the young master's pulse is strong and vigorous, and his Qi and blood are as vibrant as the morning sun!"

"If he were born in ancient times, he would definitely be a peerless warrior with the strength to uproot mountains! I have practiced medicine for decades and have never seen anyone with such a powerful physique!"

"Really?"

Lin Shi was in disbelief.

"It's even more exaggerated than what this old man said! This is simply the stature of a heavenly being, certainly not a mortal!"

After hearing the diagnosis, Lin Shi was overjoyed.

Before leaving, he directly stuffed one hundred dollars into the old man's hand as a thank-you gift.

After sending the doctor away, Lin Shi felt an itch in his heart and directly called the few top experts sent by Hongmen to protect him into the courtyard.

Ten minutes later.

In the courtyard.

Except for Lin Tian standing, the few experts were all clutching their stomachs and lying on the ground in pain.

Looking at the wounded all over the ground, Lin Shi was completely stunned.

He was frightened by Lin Tian's fierce and ruthless moves.

To put it bluntly, if Lin Tian had had the intention to kill just now, these few experts wouldn't have been able to take even a single move.

In the face of absolute strength, speed, and nerve reflexes, things like Hung Fist or Baji Fist had all become useless fancy footwork.

Just like Wesker in Resident Evil, dodging bullets was like child's play.

No matter how refined one's martial arts are, they are vulnerable in front of a non-human who can dodge bullets.

Compared to ordinary people, Lin Tian could now be considered a true transcendent.
