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

Led by Dai Emei, Chen Mo and the others arrived at the strength training area she had mentioned.

Unlike the antique-style buildings outside, the entire strength training area is made entirely of metal, with the supporting pillars seemingly extending deep into the Kunlun Mountains.

"The entire strength training area is made of Grade A Chaotic Sea Steel Abyss Steel alloy, and each square meter can withstand more than one million tons of pressure."

As Dai Emei introduced the dumbbells, she picked up a pair of dumbbells that didn't look very big from the dumbbell rack next to her.

"The dumbbells here are also made of super-gravity metal, which comes from the abyss and has no advantages other than high density and heavy weight."

"It is also quite difficult to achieve plasticity, and in any aspect, it is not as cost-effective as Grade A alloy."

"So it was used as a fitness equipment exclusively for high-level martial artists."

"Don't let its small size fool you, this little dumbbell actually weighs twenty tons."

"Train within your limits and avoid blindly using excessive weights that could lead to injury."

"If the injury is caused by your own actions, treatment is not free."

Seeing Dai Emei effortlessly lift a 20-ton dumbbell with one hand, the four people except Chen Mo shrank back.

This Senior Sister Dai doesn't look very fleshy, but her strength is terrifying.

"Our Great Xia Grandmaster Academy mainly focuses on free-range training."

"The courses designed to teach ordinary martial artists are a burden for you and me."

"What we need to do is become stronger in battle, and only seek guidance from masters when we encounter bottlenecks."

"But... we haven't even taken any basic courses." Chen Mo scratched his face. He and his friends skipped grades directly from Martial Arts High School to the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy.

If we look at it from the perspective of a regular university, then it means being directly recommended for postgraduate studies from high school.

"Those basic courses don't matter. With your abilities, you don't need basic courses anymore."

Dai Emei waved her hand and put the twenty-ton supergravity metal dumbbell back in her hand.

"That's basically all there is to the Boxing King Academy. As for the Body Tempering Hall, you'll have to see for yourselves later."

"As for the Fist Technique Hall, I estimate that none of you besides Chen Mo will need it, so there's no need to waste your time on it."

Dai Emei glanced at the time; it was almost 10 a.m.

"Come on, I'll take you to the archives room. New data and missions will be updated at 10:30."

Chen Mo and the others nodded in agreement upon hearing this, as they were all very curious about the differences between the abyss rifts on Kunlun Mountain and those on other abyss rifts.

...

In the archives, a few students from the Great Xia Academy were already searching for their targets.

Although they are called students, they are all no less than thirty years old, and each of them exudes a very powerful aura.

The fact that the Great Xia Academy can gather the most outstanding geniuses in the entire Great Xia Dynasty shows its profound strength.

"When you guys are choosing missions and materials, you must be careful. The Abyss Rift in Kunlun Mountain is completely different from other Abyss Rifts."

"Normally, after entering a deep abyss rift, it will appear in the shallow abyss, that is, near the entrance."

"But the Kunlun Mountain Abyss Rift is different. The Abyss Rift here leads directly to the deep abyss, which is where the Abyss Warriors live."

"Scholars have studied that city and the Abyss Warrior civilization, and it can be concluded that their level of civilization is similar to ours."

"Therefore, please be extremely careful when entering the Kunlun Mountain Abyss Rift, as those Abyss Warriors are extremely dangerous."

Dai Emei paused for a moment, then picked out a few representative documents from the pile and placed them in front of Chen Mo and the others.

"The materials and tasks here can be roughly divided into four types."

"Gathering, Mining, Exploration, and Extermination"

"Before we enter the deep rift of the Kunlun Mountains, I want to make things clear to you."

Dai Emei, who had been smiling, suddenly became serious.

She put down the documents in her hand and led the group to a book that wasn't too thick.

"This book is full of geniuses who died in the abyss rifts because of carelessness or being too soft-hearted."

"Never show mercy when facing Abyss Warriors, or you will die."

"You must remember that the source of the Kunlun Mountain catastrophe seventy years ago was these Abyss Warriors."

"They were ruthless, turning several cities around the Kunlun Mountains into ghost towns."

"From that time on, the view of the Abyssal Rift began to change."

Chen Mo and the others remained silent, listening quietly to Dai Emei's story.

The truth about some things will never be made public, and that is the best way to protect ordinary people.

"Originally, the higher-ups thought they could deal with the Abyss Warriors who came out of the Abyss Rift by relying on high-tech weapons."

"Hot weapons are somewhat useful against martial artists below level thirteen, but against a level thirteen grandmaster, their effectiveness is negligible."

"The 'weapons' I'm referring to here are not conventional weapons, but nuclear weapons."

Chen Mo and the others' expressions changed. Could a grandmaster really withstand a nuclear bomb?

That's terrifying...

"After that painful lesson, the higher-ups made this decision."

"Save every effort to contain the battlefield within the abyss rift and ensure the stability of the outside world."

Chen Mo was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Dai Emei was suddenly bringing these things up with them.

"I'm telling you this for no other reason than to tell you never to show mercy when facing Abyss Warriors."

"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts; this is an eternal and unchanging truth."

"Don't treat them like human beings; they are just a bunch of bloodthirsty, murderous beasts."

In fact, it's not just Chen Mo and his group who will learn about these things; every newly admitted student will learn about this painful lesson.

This is the best way to ensure that newly admitted students will not develop pity for the Abyss Warriors.

"Then I'm not going to bother with you guys anymore. I haven't finished the herb-gathering task I took on a few days ago."

After giving Chen Mo and the others a few instructions, Dai Emei began to select suitable tasks and materials.

"So... what do we do?"

"Since this is our first time venturing into the deep abyss, let's focus on exploration."

Gu Feng grabbed the four sheets of paper that Dai Emei had just handed him; they all contained low-difficulty, low-reward tasks.

"I've heard that the deep abyss is extremely dangerous, so I need to make all the necessary preparations before going down."

"Then let's go to the exchange office first and exchange for some pills that we might need."

Chen Mo nodded. He also felt that they should start with exploration-type projects to familiarize themselves with the environment of the deep abyss before they could perform better.

"Let's go with this one: explore the distribution of mineral veins in known areas. The reward credits aren't bad either."
