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

Xue Le really wanted to complain about the current situation, but he couldn't say anything because of his status as a grandmaster.

These guys, they used one credit and four people shared it, they really managed to fleece him.

It's only the first day of school, and these kids are already taking advantage of him like this. I wonder how arrogant they'll become later on.

Why don't you give it a try?

Xue Le shifted his gaze and finally fixed it on He Miao, who was squatting on the ground, still shaken.

"I...I don't need it..."

He Miao shook her head; her small frame would turn into a bloody mess if she went in.

She had touched Chen Mo's skin before, and once the blood and qi began to flow rapidly, Chen Mo's skin would become as hard and resilient as steel.

It was as if the person was wearing a full-coverage metal armor, a metal armor made of skin that protected the fragile internal organs.

Moreover, she simply couldn't understand how these people could so easily enter a tempering state after such a major incident.

Is this the unique strength of a martial artist's heart?

He Miao didn't plan to stay idle either. She intended to visit the Food and Medicine Institute and the Pharmacy Institute, hoping to find something she could learn there.

Especially for the food service department, she can't keep making compressed biscuits and porridge for everyone after going on a mission.

"Master Xue, I'm taking my leave now."

He Miao greeted them politely and then turned to walk towards the direction of the dining hall.

"A mentalist, a mentalist who can provide battlefield guidance...?"

Xue Le initially opposed the appearance of mentalists at the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, referring, of course, to mentalists who went to the battlefield with martial artists.

There are still more than a dozen therapeutic spiritual practitioners in the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy.

But out of respect for that old man Chu Tianhua, he had no choice but to let the little girl in first.

Judging from the results of the mission just now, if that little girl hadn't reacted quickly enough, these kids might have walked into the sensing range of the adult Abyss Mother Tree.

"It really works. It seems I was being a bit stubborn."

Xue Le shook his head, reached out and beckoned to the distance, and a small stool flew over.

"I wonder how long these kids can last; they're really tough..."

If Xue Le hadn't seen the information on Chen Mo and the others, he might have really thought they were monsters from the Celestial Race.

Ah, there really is a Celestial...

...

The difficulty of tempering steel bones was completely different from what Chen Mo had expected.

Compared to steel skin and steel blood, the tempering difficulty of steel bones is at least three times higher.

However, during the tempering process, Chen Mo's qi and blood and life value increased significantly, which was something that steel skin and steel blood could not achieve.

Furthermore, the originally white right arm bone gradually developed a metallic luster, which means that the progress of this bone has reached 50%.

The human body has only two hundred bones. At this rate, how long would it take to temper them?

No wonder Gu Feng and Yang Zuo spent so much time tempering their steel bones; the difficulty of tempering steel bones is indeed incomparable to that of steel skin and steel blood.

The tempering of the marrow and internal organs will be even more difficult than that of the bones in the future. Fortunately, Chen Mo can use gold coins to buy the tempering progress.

The tempering progress is almost perfect except for the high price, but that high price alone is enough to make Chen Mo hesitate.

It costs 7500 gold coins to complete 1% of the progress. How many gold coins does he earn in a day?

"It's still more cost-effective to work hard yourself..."

Chen Mo pursed his lips and continued to concentrate on tempering his right arm bone.

Apart from Chen Mo, Gu Feng and the other two finished their tempering after three hours. Their physical strength was not good enough, and their recovery ability was not as good as Chen Mo's.

This leads to them experiencing considerable pain during the tempering process under heavy pressure, but the progress in tempering their bodies is quite remarkable.

"I'll allow you to freeload this time, but next time I'll be charging you."

Xue Le glanced at the three of them; collecting credits was one of their responsibilities as grandmasters of the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy.

"Thank you, Dean Xue." Gu Feng and the others knew they had gotten the better deal this time, so they all stood up and bowed to express their gratitude.

"Hey, you guys, don't rush off yet."

Xue Le sat on a small stool, glanced at Chen Mo who was still tempering his body, and then turned to look at the three people who wanted to adjust their breathing and recover their bodies.

"What happened to Dean Xue?"

Gu Feng walked over, unsure why Xue Le had stopped them.

Does this mean they're going to charge a fee?

"Chen Mo... has been under the pressure for five hours, and I'm not sure about his physical condition."

Although Xue Le is a grandmaster, he is not an omnipotent god.

Without touching Chen Mo's body, he couldn't see through the injuries inside Chen Mo's body.

"They should be fine. You should know about what happened in the Southern Island Abyss..."

Gu Feng told Xue Le about how Chen Mo had grown a completely new set of internal organs in just one day.

In fact, Gu Feng was being quite conservative; Chen Mo grew new internal organs in about half an hour.

"These things weren't mentioned in the documents..."

Xue Le raised an eyebrow. It seemed that Chen Mo's data level was higher than his own, and the data he could see was only those that met his access level.

"Dean Xue, don't worry. Chen Mo's life is the toughest thing about him. If he can't take it anymore, he'll come out on his own."

Gu Feng and Yang Zuo had witnessed how Chen Mo tempered steel sheets; the scene was quite terrifying.

"Back when Chen Mo was tempering his steel skin at the Southern Training Camp, that scene was truly terrifying. He was gushing blood like a fountain."

"This is quite mild now; at least we haven't seen any human-shaped fountains..."

As soon as Gu Feng finished speaking, Chen Mo, who was tempering his steel bones under the oppressive aura, made a loud bang.

With a loud bang, the flesh on Chen Mo's right arm suddenly exploded open, revealing the metallic-looking bone underneath.

"..." Xue Le turned his head and glanced at Gu Feng. It seemed that the kid hadn't been bragging earlier.

The process of Chen Mo tempering his body was indeed a bit terrifying.

"Finally, I've finished tempering my right arm." Chen Mo didn't feel much of a difference; after six hours, his health points had only decreased by 70%.

Sustaining for eight hours shouldn't be a problem.

Shaking his right arm, which was now just bones, Chen Mo realized that Xue Le was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Dean Xue, what's wrong?"

Chen Mo stepped out of Xue Le's oppressive aura and looked at him with some confusion.

"It's alright, six hours to temper an arm, you..."

Back then, it took Xue Le a full three hundred days to temper his steel bones, while Chen Mo only needed six hours to temper an arm.

At this rate, wouldn't it take just over a month to temper all the bones in the body?

This kid is a bit too abnormal, isn't he?
