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

"Hey, Director Wei, I'll go make you two some tea."

Upon hearing that there was something important to discuss, Xu Liu immediately got up and went to the kitchen to prepare hot water for tea.

"No, no, you are the mother of a genius, how could I dare to let you make tea for me?"

Wei Zhen quickly got up and stopped Xu Liu, then ran to the kitchen to find tea leaves and brewed a pot of tea.

"Come, come, please, you two."

Wei Zhen poured tea into Chen Li and Xu Liu's cups, his face beaming with smiles.

"...?"

The couple looked puzzled; they felt like they were the guests.

"Well then, I'll cut to the chase."

Wei Zhen coughed lightly, his expression turning serious.

"Gentlemen, I hope Chen Mo can represent Taizhou City in this year's National Youth Talent Championship!"

"What!?"

Chen Li slammed the cup heavily on the table, his bull-like eyes glaring fiercely at Wei Zhen.

"Get out! You're not welcome in our house!"

Xu Liu no longer cared about Wei Zhen's identity, got up, grabbed his clothes, and tried to drag him out.

How could Wei Zhen, a level 5 martial artist, possibly be someone that an ordinary person like Xu Liu could shake?

Seeing this, Wei Zhen had no choice but to shamelessly stay in his seat.

"Listen to me, you two! Our Taizhou City has failed to pass the first round for many years in a row. As long as Chen Mo passes the first round, he'll get a large apartment in the city center!"

"If that's not enough, then add another five million in bonuses!"

Hearing Wei Zhen's words, Chen Li and Xu Liu were not moved at all; instead, they became even more furious.

"Get out of here! I will never let my son participate in those life-threatening competitions!"

Xu Liu immediately started scratching; she was determined to kick Wei Zhen out of the house.

"Alright, alright, stop fighting!" Seeing that money couldn't sway Chen Li and his wife at all, Wei Zhen had no choice but to retreat temporarily and look for a better opportunity.

"I'll leave, I'll leave, okay?!"

"Don't forget to tell Chen Mo when he gets back!"

"This is very important; it concerns his future!"

Wei Zhen, a dignified level 5 martial artist, was forced to flee in disarray under the combined attack of Chen Li and Xu Liu, two ordinary people.

"Hmph! I knew it wouldn't be good!" Xu Liu sat down on the sofa angrily and glared at the closed door.

"Hey Chen! Let me tell you, Xiao Mo absolutely cannot participate in those kinds of competitions where people could die!"

"Even if you die, your son cannot die, do you understand?!"

"Why are you taking your anger out on me? I don't want my son to go either!" Chen Li sighed. Ultimately, it depends on Chen Mo's own wishes.

"How about this, we'll tell Xiao Mo about it when he gets back."

"As for whether to go or not, it's entirely up to Xiao Mo to decide."

Chen Li waved his hand, indicating he didn't want to continue the topic.

The Taizhou news on TV ended on time, followed by the evening news.

[There are only twelve days left until registration opens for this year's National Youth Talent Championship!]

This year's National Youth Talent Championship will be held at the Yanjing Central Stadium, and cheering squads of the athletes will be admitted for free.

The couple were so angry watching the news on TV that their noses were crooked.

"Shut it down, shut it down, what bad luck!"

Xu Liu quickly turned off the TV and sighed as she looked at the dark screen.

"We used to just watch it as a spectacle every year, but we never expected that our little Mo would actually be invited this year."

"I remember there were 292 athletes in total last year, 150 were seriously injured, and more than 20 died, right?"

"Yeah..." Chen Li scratched his head in frustration.

"Which of the children who can participate in the national competition are not the top students in their city? And yet they end up like this."

"Don't think too much about it. Let's talk about everything after Xiao Mo comes back."

"Okay." Xu Liu nodded and glanced at the clock hanging above her head.

"It's almost ten o'clock, why isn't Xiao Mo back yet?"

Just as Xu Liu was about to call Chen Mo, Chen Li's phone suddenly rang.

"Feed?" Chen Li glanced at the phone number. It was a call from An Shi, Chen Mo's friend, that skinny little monkey.

"Okay, the time is undecided, right..."

"Okay, I understand. I'm not worried with you here."

Chen Li hung up the phone quickly.

"Xiao Mo has gone to participate in intensive training, saying he's going to prepare for the martial arts exam."

"Our son is training right now, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't told us yet, so he asked Anshi to tell us."

"Don't worry, the training camp doesn't seem to last much longer."

After receiving news that Chen Mo was safe, Chen Li and Xu Liu finally felt at ease and went to sleep.

......

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Mo had not emerged from the abyss rift during this time.

An Shi would call Chen Li and Xu Liu to let them know he was safe every day, otherwise the couple would have called the police long ago.

"This kid...could he really be dead inside?"

Tian Xingxing, with his unshaven beard, sat in the car. The reporters who had set up camp nearby had already left two days earlier.

"Probably not, the Administration hasn't issued any death reports so far."

Liang Yongsheng, who also had a stubble beard, shook his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the exit.

"What's that kid up to? There are still two days until the martial arts exam, what the hell is he doing!"

Tian Xingxing slammed her fist on the steering wheel in front of her, and the airbag instantly deployed, scattering shards all over her face.

"The airbags cost 2,500 yuan." Liang Yongsheng glanced at the disheveled Tian Xingxing and continued to stare at the exit not far away.

Meanwhile, within the third level zone of the Abyss Rift.

"Shouldn't we be able to go even deeper?"

Chen Mo glanced at his attribute panel and felt that he could easily defeat a level four abyssal beast.

Name: Chen Mo

【HP: 36575】

[Qi and Blood: 350]

Attack Power: 18

Defense: 0

After a week of intense work, Chen Mo successfully raised his health points to five digits.

If searching for the Abyss Beast hadn't been such a time-consuming process, his current health might have reached six figures.

Moreover, the damage of Heart Steel Charged Attack has reached a terrifying 4400 points, as has the damage of Deliberate Punch.

Unfortunately, after Chen Mo used the Deliberate Punch a few times, he discovered that the skill had a very long cooldown.

It has a full three-hour cooldown period after one use, which is completely different from the game.

"If I get the chance, I'll equip a few items with cooldown reduction."

These past few days, Chen Mo hasn't forgotten to take two Qi and Blood Pills every day, but the harsh environment of the rift greatly affects the absorption of the medicine, so Chen Mo's Qi and Blood hasn't increased much.

"hiss......"

Chen Mo glanced at his watch and realized that he had been in the abyss rift for more than a week.

People outside must be in a panic, right?

Moreover, there were only two days left until the martial arts exam, so he had to hurry back.

"I'm going back to prepare for the martial arts exam. I'll come back to favor you when I have the chance."
