High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been exposed!"

After entering the staircase, Chen Mo immediately used his movement technique to get away from Liu Bo.

"My mental strength is still too low. Releasing the pressure of [Aura] consumes too much mental strength."

"I used over 800 units of my mental energy to intimidate a mere sixth-rank martial artist for just a few seconds."

"They overestimated their abilities!"

Fortunately, Chen Mo reacted quickly, and after intimidating the martial artist, he left immediately.

If we're any slower, we'll definitely be exposed.

He hadn't expected that simply releasing [momentum] would consume so much mental energy.

Reaching a higher level truly makes a difference.

When using his aura to intimidate martial arts practitioners, he consumed very little mental energy. Even when suppressing Zhang Hongda and his grandson for more than a minute, it only consumed one hundred points of his mental energy.

Based on this consumption, he estimated that suppressing martial artists wouldn't consume much mental energy, which is why he used this method.

Unexpectedly, eight hundred points of his mental energy were consumed in just eight seconds.

If he were armed, with the added advantage of "momentum," he was confident he could instantly kill Liu Bo.

However, simply releasing the "momentum" can only suppress for a few seconds, which is a huge difference.

"As expected, real combat is still necessary to know one's true strength."

"If an ordinary martial artist needs to expend such a large amount of mental energy, wouldn't the mental energy required be even greater if the opponent is also a mental martial artist?"

My initial elation shrunk back down.

It's still necessary to keep a low profile; there are plenty of martial artists stronger than yourself.

Chen Mo secretly warned himself that he could not let his guard down.

"Let's go buy some pills!"

Just as Chen Mo stepped out of the residential area, his phone rang. He thought it was his homeroom teacher calling, but when he took out his phone, he found it was an unknown number!

"A scam call?"

Without even thinking, Chen Mo hung up!

He had just earned a little money when someone called, clearly eyeing his money.

I had just hung up when this unfamiliar number called again.

Chen Mo didn't answer the phone and hung up again.

He thought it was over, but to his surprise, the unfamiliar number called again.

Left with no other option, Chen Mo had to accept:

"Hey, I don't have any money, I didn't participate in any lottery, and I didn't..."

He rattled off a whole bunch of things, but in short, he was saying that he had no money and wouldn't be fooled.

Then hang up immediately and block the other party, giving them no chance to speak.

"They're definitely swearing! Hehe..."

A moment later, the phone rang again. Chen Mo saw that it was his father calling and quickly answered.

"Hey, Dad! Where are you? Are you coming back? I'll come pick you up!"

"Chen Mo? Your father is in my hands!"

"Who are you? What do you want?" Chen Mo heard a synthesized electronic voice, and his expression changed instantly. His father was in danger.

"If you cooperate obediently, I'll release your father! Come to the abandoned chemical plant in the East District, and you'll see him there!"

"Pah! I don't believe a word you say unless you video call me and show me my dad!"

Chen Mo was likely to believe the stranger's call. His father always took good care of his phone and wouldn't lose it for no reason, but the possibility of it being stolen or lost couldn't be ruled out.

"Okay, find a secluded spot, and we'll video chat!"

Soon, Chen Mo arrived at a secluded corner and made a video call.

"See that? This is your father."

At this moment, Chen Mingyuan was tied to a chair, his head bowed, and he had already lost consciousness.

His face and body were covered in bruises, and his clothes were tattered, clearly indicating that he had been abused.

Seeing his father like this, Chen Mo was furious:

"Who are you? Why are you arresting me?!"

"Hehe... I have no obligation to explain to you! You just hung up on me three times, which made me very angry, so it's reasonable to let your father take the punishment in your place!"

"No, just tell me what you want!" Chen Mo shouted angrily.

"No, no, no, you're being too disobedient!" After saying that, the stranger walked to Chen Mingyuan's side. He was dressed in black and wore a black hood over his head, only revealing his eyes.

The man in black looked up at the camera and chuckled.

"I'll cripple your dad's leg!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black stomped on Chen Mingyuan's thigh with a crack, instantly fracturing the bone.

A sharp pain shot through him, causing Chen Mingyuan, who was unconscious, to scream out and instantly regain consciousness.

"You, ouch! You...who...are you?!" Chen Mingyuan was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat and his body was trembling!

Why...?

"Dad! Dad!" Chen Mo shouted angrily, and his voice reached Chen Mingyuan's ears.

Upon hearing Chen Mo's voice, Chen Mingyuan instantly regained his senses and, enduring the pain, quickly said:

"Xiao Mo, no, don't listen to him! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by the man in black.

"I've given you the address. If you don't show up within half an hour, even a minute later, I'll slash your dad! Don't even think about calling the police. If you do, all you'll see is your dad's corpse."

The man in black toyed with the dagger, which gleamed coldly under the lamplight.

"I will definitely come, you..."

Before Chen Mo could finish speaking, the man in black hung up the video call.

Without having time to think about why this stranger wanted to kidnap his father, Chen Mo quickly crossed to the side of the road, flagged down an unmanned taxi, and headed to his destination.

In the car, Chen Mo wished he could teleport and quickly save his father, but that was unrealistic.

"Haste makes waste!"

Chen Mo forced himself to calm down.

At this moment, his mother called, saying that she couldn't get through to Chen Mingyuan. Chen Mo didn't tell his mother, telling her not to worry.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo took a few deep breaths.

Chen Mo quickly calmed down.

Consider countermeasures.

First, he has to go alone. Even if he tells the homeroom teacher or reports to the law enforcement bureau, there won't be enough time for them to arrive.

Secondly, judging from the black-clad man's performance, he was at most a martial artist, and Chen Mo could handle him on his own.

However, he didn't know how many people were on the other side; he could find that out using his mental perception once he arrived at the location.

He can handle any enemy who isn't a martial arts master.

"Now, the most important thing is to visualize the restoration of mental energy!"

Chen Mo just expended over nine hundred points of mental energy, leaving him with only three hundred points.

Twenty minutes later.

Chen Mo arrived near his destination, got out of the car, and hurried on his way.

At this moment, his mental strength had recovered to over a thousand points, enough to cope with the challenges ahead.

Arriving at the desolate place, Chen Mo paused briefly, picked up some stones, and broke them into five-millimeter-thick and five-centimeter-long stone needles.

Time was limited, so I made ten in total and hid them in my pocket. I also hid a handful of pebbles in another pocket.

If possible, he planned to use telekinesis to deal with them.

25 minutes had passed before we arrived at the abandoned factory, leaving 5 minutes until the agreed time.

Chen Mo had already activated his mental perception and discovered that the factory was empty and no one was lying in ambush.

"Resolve the battle within five minutes. If you can't, then agree to their terms."

Chen Mo immediately used his movement technique to silently sneak into the abandoned factory.

With his mental perception, nothing could escape his notice, allowing him to easily enter the abandoned factory.

With a detection range of 124 meters, they quickly located the man in black.
