Chapter 7: Monstrous Fighting Talent

"Claim immediately," Marcus said without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a surge of energy enter his body. Then he felt as if his body was being torn apart and every cell was being ripped apart and reorganized.

He didn't know how long it took, but Marcus finally caught his breath. The transformation of his body by the Super Soldier Serum was finally over.

Marcus rushed to the dressing mirror to look at the changes and found that he had undergone a significant transformation.

He was already not considered short, but now his height had jumped to over 1.85 meters. His originally slightly thin figure had suddenly become muscular and toned. While his muscles were obviously smaller than those of Captain America, in terms of strength, they would not be weaker.

His already good looks had become even more handsome, and his charm value had increased greatly.

The clothes he was wearing were obviously a size too small, and he looked like an adult wearing a child's clothes, which was quite comical.

But he felt better than ever, with a powerful force coursing through his body. This short-term surge in strength even gave him the feeling that he could take on anyone or anything.

However, he quickly calmed down, because he knew that this feeling was just an illusion.

In the Marvel world, the Super Soldier Serum that Captain America Steve Rogers injected was just a relatively low-level adventure. It could only unleash the full potential of humans, reaching the peak of human strength.

However, humans themselves have their own limits. Even at their peak, they are still no match for many races. For example, in terms of pure strength, Spider-Man can crush Captain America.

Don't look at the fact that later on, even when fighting Thanos, Captain America can still get a main position, as if he can fight anyone on equal terms. But in fact, it was not the Super Soldier Serum that was strong, but Captain America himself.

He is the protagonist.

Under the halo of the protagonist, he can even fight Thanos to a temporary draw.

And the Winter Soldier Bucky, who also injected the Super Soldier Serum, was able to fight Captain America Steve Rogers to a standstill in the early stages, achieving a draw.

But by the time of "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame," basically, he could only be considered a super soldier who shoots with guns. Thanos has countless powerful alien races under his command, and in comparison, the human race's potential can really only be seen as that of a small, skinny monkey.

Thinking about those supervillains in the later stages who could easily destroy the world or even play with space and time, Marcus's heart, which had been a little inflated, immediately calmed down. He still had to be cautious.

However, even though this was the case, after fusing with the Super Soldier Serum, Marcus's strength had greatly increased, which should be enough on the current Earth.

But for now, Marcus could only be considered to have his physical strength at the peak of human level, and his combat skills were still far from it. The next step was to make up for these gaps.

Captain America's strength lies not only in his development to the pinnacle of human potential but also in his mastery of combat skills, which is a significant boost.

Anyway, Marcus didn't have much to do next. He just had to write his diary every day. He wasn't in a hurry for the time being. With the first lottery draw, was he afraid that there wouldn't be a second or third one?

As long as he kept writing his diary, it was only a matter of time before he became stronger.

Marcus washed up a bit and then went out to buy a new set of casual clothes. Because his height had suddenly increased and his weight had suddenly increased, the fitted clothes he had bought that used to fit him perfectly were no longer wearable.

However, for a rich third generation like him, that was not a problem. In addition to having hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, his family would also give him 10,000 USD every month as living expenses. This was money that 99% of American wage earners couldn't earn even if they worked their asses off for a month.

After changing his clothes, Marcus decided to learn various fighting techniques, as well as the use of light and heavy weapons. He wanted to improve himself in all aspects. On the surface, it seemed that capital was still dominant in this world, but with the emergence of the supernatural, it was gradually beginning to show a trend of being dominated by the strong.

He had to improve his strength in this wave.

Fortunately, in a free and diverse country, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't learn.

He first went to Chinatown and found a boxing gym that teaches Baguazhang. He went straight to the point and said that he wanted to learn Baguazhang.

This was a very average boxing gym. There were only a few apprentices in the whole gym.

The gym owner, Sun Li, was a middle-aged man. The moment he saw Marcus, he immediately felt his hair stand on end. It was as if he was not facing a young man, but a giant from ancient times. His martial artist's intuition immediately made him feel danger.

"Are you here to challenge me?" Sun Li asked cautiously.

"No, I'm here to learn Baguazhang." Marcus shook his head and said.

Sun Li was a little surprised. In his martial artist's intuition, Marcus was a human-shaped beast. Could he really be here to learn martial arts?

"As long as you teach me as quickly as possible, I'll give you 10,000 USD," Marcus said.

Hearing this, Sun Li's eyes lit up immediately. There weren't many young people who were so generous these days. It wasn't that he was greedy for money, but that he was forced to do so for a living.

After Marcus directly paid a deposit of 5,000 USD, Sun Li immediately started teaching Marcus Baguazhang. He thought that it would take time, especially since Marcus's age was past the best age to learn martial arts. However, he never expected that Marcus's learning speed would be terrifying.

It only took Marcus one day to completely master the basic skills that would normally take months for ordinary people to master. This speed caught Sun Li off guard.

In the next three days, Marcus came every morning and left late at night. Under Sun Li's guidance, Marcus's grasp and understanding of Baguazhang also improved tremendously.

Just like Captain America's Super Soldier Serum, the Super Soldier Serum that Marcus fused with also developed his fighting talent. Any field related to combat was as simple as eating and drinking for him.

Marcus even wondered if the Super Soldier Serum he fused with was an enhanced version, as it was too smooth to learn.

In four days, he emptied Sun Li's knowledge and reached the peak of Ming Jin in martial arts as Sun Li called it.

The realm that Sun Li himself had spent more than two decades to reach, Marcus had reached in four days, and even surpassed it. This talent was simply monstrous in Sun Li's eyes.
