High-level martial arts: Starting with a heart of steel, stats crush everything.

"The first-year casualty rate at the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy is as high as 20%, and even Grandmasters are no exception."

"Therefore, out of the hundred freshmen who enter the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, not many will make it to the end."

"But those who persevere to the end will surely become grandmaster-level experts, that is, Martial Grandmasters."

"So, you bunch of kids, how about you give the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy a try?"

Xie Qifeng's lips curled up; he was confident that these kids wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

In fact, Song Bin did not want Chen Mo and the others to go to the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy. Although that place was rich in resources and had its own forging institute, it was extremely dangerous.

After all, it's built right on the most dangerous crevice in the Kunlun Mountains...

Even if Chen Mo and the others didn't work this hard, they could easily become grandmasters in a few decades. The Great Xia Grandmaster Academy is still too dangerous.

"Go, why don't you go?"

Before anyone else could react, Chen Mo immediately agreed.

What he wants is battle; only endless battles can rapidly improve his strength.

There are too few suppressed Abyssal Rift Beasts, and stacking steel is too slow.

The Great Xia Grandmaster Academy was exactly what Chen Mo wanted.

"I'll go too." Ma Wanglin nodded; she wasn't some delicate flower in a greenhouse.

She must become stronger as quickly as possible so that she can find her missing parents.

"Then if you all go, I'll go too." Gu Feng scratched his nose. They were comrades in the same team, so they definitely had to be together.

"Hmm." Yang Zuo still looked silly, nodded without saying anything.

Finally, Chen Mo and the others' gazes fell on He Miao.

"Me, am I going to the Martial Arts Academy too?" He Miao was stunned for a moment. She was a mentalist, so going to the Martial Arts Academy didn't seem quite right.

"Okay, fine, I'll go too."

After spending more than a month together, He Miao had also developed feelings for Chen Mo and the others.

Even if he doesn't learn much at the martial arts academy, he can still do laundry and cook for Chen Mo and the others, and incidentally act as a battlefield commander.

Yes, it is like that.

"Of course you have to go, even if Chen Mo and the others don't go, you still have to go."

Suddenly, the conference room door opened, and Chu Chi pushed Dean Chu in.

"Xiao He Miao, after this training camp test, the new equipment has greatly improved the martial artist. You will represent the Shanghai Mental Strength Research Institute to promote this new equipment."

"Among the four mentalists in this southern training camp, you performed the best and discovered various new uses. You are the best candidate to promote the new equipment."

"I'll arrange for ten mentalists to be with you then. Good luck!"

"Okay, okay, Dean." He Miao nodded; it seemed she had no choice but to go.

I need to learn a few more dishes; I can't keep making compressed biscuit paste with canned goods...

"Now we can form a team again." Gu Feng looked at the group with a grin.

These people were among the few he could call "friends," so how could he easily let them go?

"Alright, alright, that's all for now. I didn't even need to use the words I prepared to persuade you, which saved me a lot of trouble."

Xie Qifu laughed heartily; he truly hadn't expected these children to agree so readily.

Normally, those who can enter the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy are generally between twenty-two and twenty-five years old. These kids entered the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy just after turning eighteen. Who knows, they might become the youngest grandmaster in history.

"This is the admission card for Abyss Dawn City. Take a break and then go have some fun."

Song Bin tossed five access cards to Chen Mo and the others.

But there was one thing he didn't say.

"Once you enter the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, you'll basically have zero time to relax. All you'll do every day is practice, practice, practice, and kill, kill, kill, kill."

"Thank you, Uncle Song and the three masters. We will definitely cherish this opportunity."

Chen Mo picked up the five access cards and left with Gu Feng and the others.

He always felt that if he didn't leave, these old men would cause some trouble again.

After Chen Mo and the others left, Song Bin turned to look at Dean Chu.

"Dean Chu, have you figured out the tricks Chen Mo used before?"

"Hmph, do you really think I'm omnipotent?" Dean Chu snorted coldly, a headache coming on whenever this matter was mentioned.

"Although I can't figure out exactly what's going on, I can tell that this is a special ability produced by the combination of spiritual power and blood energy."

"It's somewhat similar to the Grandmaster's realm..."

......

While Dean Chu and Song Bin were chatting, Chen Mo and his friends finally returned to their beloved dormitory.

Lying on the bed, which wasn't very soft but was dry, none of them had even showered and they slept in the bed, all of them dirty.

They had only slept less than fifteen hours in total that week; they were simply too exhausted.

High-intensity combat combined with high-intensity movement and no rest would be unbearable even for martial artists.

Ah, and that incredibly greasy compressed biscuit paste.

Chen Mo and the others slept quite comfortably that night, and didn't get up until noon the next day.

"We'll take a shower first, you three wait a bit."

Ma Wanglin carried He Miao into the bathroom; after a week, all of them smelled terrible.

"Let's go, let's redeem the points for some things and take them with us."

Chen Mo scratched his head, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Gu Feng and Yang Zuo.

"Didn't you see the message Uncle Song sent us?"

Gu Feng, sporting a messy, frizzy hairstyle, took out his phone, glanced at it, and asked.

"What news?" Chen Mo picked up his phone and opened the message.

"You can keep your points; you can exchange them for credits at the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy on a one-to-one basis. The stuff there is just as good as the Southern Training Camp, except there aren't many auxiliary training rooms."

"That saves us trouble."

Chen Mo was unaware of the value of exchanging points for Great Xia Master Academy credits at a 1:1 ratio. If he had known, he would have thanked Song Bin.

"Still lying down?"

"Hmm, I'll lie down a little longer..."

...

Three hours later, Chen Mo and his four companions, now clean and refreshed, boarded the armored vehicle.

"So, this is actually the vehicle we were supposed to drive during our actual combat training?"

Chen Mo stood at the lookout point, feeling the scorching sea breeze, and he could even smell the aroma of stewed fish.

"Yeah, I was in such a hurry that I took the wrong car..."

Ma Wanglin, feeling quite embarrassed after her bath, scratched her face.

"Don't worry about the wrong car incident. Let me tell you, Abyss Dawn City is quite unique."

"There is no electricity available there, and most technological products are also unusable."

"But this also creates one of the unique characteristics of Abyss Dawn City: a particularly retro feel!"
