Just like Captain America's super-soldier serum, the super-soldier serum that Brian Carter fused with also developed his combat talents. Any field related to fighting was as easy for him as eating or drinking.

Brian Carter even suspected that the super-soldier serum he fused with was an enhanced version, because learning things felt so incredibly smooth.

In just four days, he completely absorbed Henry Clark's foundational skills, reaching the peak of "Ming Jin" in traditional martial arts, as described by Henry Clark.

The level that took Henry Clark over twenty years to achieve, Brian Carter reached in just four days—and even surpassed it. In Henry Clark's eyes, this kind of talent was simply monstrous.

Chapter 8: Fists Reign Over New York, Financial Freedom

Watching Brian Carter's departing figure, Henry Clark's eyes were filled with uncontrollable shock.

To master Ming Jin techniques to their peak in just four days—even the legendary masters throughout history couldn't have been this monstrous.

He had spent his whole life honing his skills, only to reach the level of Ming Jin, but clearly Brian Carter's peak was far beyond that. Yet, he had nothing left to teach.

Brian Carter's time learning from him had come to an end.

For Henry Clark, this was a huge sense of defeat.

The only consolation was that Brian Carter promptly transferred the remaining money to him. Earning ten thousand dollars in four days was a nice windfall, no matter how you looked at it.

Originally, he thought Brian Carter was just an ordinary rich kid and only planned to teach him some basics. Who would have thought Brian Carter would progress so quickly, with such a strong desire to learn? Gradually, even Henry Clark got into the groove and developed a fondness for this talented student, so he taught Brian Carter everything he knew. But even so, after just four days, there was nothing left to teach.

Although Ming Jin sounds mysterious, it's really just a technique for generating force. For someone like Brian Carter, whose physical fitness had already reached the human peak and whose combat talent had been enhanced to an epic level, he could skip the stage of tempering the body and constantly increasing physical strength. He only needed to learn some basic skills and advanced force techniques, which was no challenge at all.

At first, Henry Clark could barely serve as Brian Carter's sparring partner. At that stage, Brian Carter had great strength but lacked technique, so Henry Clark could rely on his mastery of Bajiquan to barely keep up for a few moves.

But after a few days, Brian Carter had completely mastered everything and even surpassed his teacher. Henry Clark no longer dared to spar with him.

Brian Carter's punches were so powerful and his technique so refined that he could kill him in an instant.

Unlike Henry Clark, Brian Carter didn't feel much about this. To him, it was only natural. With the development from the super-soldier serum, anything related to combat was easy to pick up.

He learned instantly, and mastered it just as quickly!

That was Brian Carter's current state!

But he wasn't arrogant or complacent. He knew that these force techniques were useless when facing someone much stronger than himself. Unless you also had Captain America's protagonist aura, you'd just be another super soldier in the future.

Henry Clark had nothing left to teach him, but he did point him in the right direction. In Chinatowns across America, there were still some masters. After reaching the level of Ming Jin, the next step was to break through to An Jin, then Hua Jin, and finally reach the legendary Dan Jin.

Although the power of traditional martial arts couldn't compare to the world-shattering systems in the Marvel universe, this was the only way he currently had to increase his strength, so he had to give it his all.

With Bajiquan as his foundation, Brian Carter began his journey of learning. Besides Bajiquan, Brian Carter also studied Taijiquan, Baguazhang, and a series of other traditional martial arts.

With his money paving the way, everything went smoothly. These days, fewer and fewer people wanted to learn traditional martial arts, especially abroad. Since Brian Carter was offering so much, most of the school owners were willing to teach him. Even those who were initially reluctant, after witnessing Brian Carter's monstrous talent, gradually developed a fondness for him and taught him everything they knew.

Over the course of an entire month, Brian Carter visited every traditional martial arts school in New York City and learned from them all, finally completing the transformation from Ming Jin to An Jin, truly becoming a master of An Jin.

He even became famous in the American traditional martial arts community. Many people heard that a monstrous genius had appeared in New York, mastering the strengths of various schools and creating his own style.

In this circle, as long as you reached the level of Ming Jin, you could open your own martial arts school. At the level of An Jin, there were only a handful of top experts in the whole city.

After all, Hua Jin masters were rare, and even rarer overseas.

Now, for Brian Carter, it was no exaggeration to say that his fists ruled New York. Anyone at the Ming Jin level would be killed by a single punch from him, and even those at the An Jin level would be seriously injured. Only Hua Jin masters could exchange a few moves with him. This was the huge boost brought by his powerful physique.

Dressed in casual clothes and a hoodie, Brian Carter walked down the street looking just like a student. As he walked, he pondered where to go next to continue his studies and reach the level of Hua Jin as soon as possible. At that point, his combat power would reach a whole new level.
