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

Chen Mo sighed, realizing that communicating with Zhu Long was quite difficult.

"I'm finished eating, Senior Brother Zhu Long, please continue eating."

Chen Mo quickly stuffed his dinner into his mouth and left.

His primary task now is to fully temper his steel bones and advance to level six.

This way, the widow's passive ability can provide invisibility and concealment of her presence. We'll see if we can make a big score then.

It's no wonder Chen Mo was impatient; the storage space was just too tempting. Having this thing would greatly increase his options.

Zhu Long nodded and continued eating his dinner by himself.

The moment Chen Mo returned to the courtyard, the system's task notification sound suddenly rang out.

[Host has successfully tempered muscles; side quest issued!]

[The human race's body tempering method is incomplete. Please complete the human race's body tempering method.]

Side Quest 1: Complete 50% of your body's muscle tempering. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with the 'Final Reserve BUFF'.

[Subsequent tasks will be unlocked after completing Task 1]

[Final Reserve: Triggered when HP reaches zero, no active use required from the host. Upon triggering, it restores all HP, increases all attributes by 100% (lasts 30 minutes), and raises Martial Arts level by one.]

"?" Chen Mo's eyes widened. He remembered that the last buff he had reserved was of the Prismatic grade, and the price was so high that he didn't even dare to look at it.

Putting the price aside, this buff has significant limitations in terms of purchase; it can only be purchased once.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo immediately opened the BUFF Shop and took a look.

Fortunately, the system's rewards and purchase attempts are calculated separately, so Chen Mo is guaranteed to make one more purchase for his final reserves.

Even disregarding the various limitations, the effect after triggering it is already ridiculously powerful.

Restores full health, increases all attributes by 100%, and permanently increases martial arts level by one.

Including the passive effect of the Staff of Time, Chen Mo has at least three opportunities to forcibly level up.

"Hiss, if I become a Grandmaster at level 13 and use it three times in a row, wouldn't I directly reach level 16...?"

Whether Level 16 even exists in this world is unknown, but Chen Mo's future achievements will at least reach Level 16.

Chen Mo shook his head. Such a good thing absolutely cannot be wasted before level 13, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.

"Chen Mo, Chen Mo, I'm talking to you, why aren't you saying anything?"

Gu Feng squatted in front of Chen Mo's bed, staring at him with shining eyes.

"I wasn't paying attention, what's wrong?"

Chen Mo turned to look at Gu Feng and found Yang Zuo standing silently to the side.

"Um, I just wanted to ask how Senior Brother Zhu Long's muscle tempering method is."

Upon hearing Gu Feng's question, Chen Mo remembered that he had already completed the muscle tempering of his right index finger.

"As for the results..."

Chen Mo didn't know how to describe it, but the skin, muscles, and bones of his finger had all been tempered, making it extremely strong.

"Come on, stick your head over here."

Gu Feng stupidly stretched out his hand, and Chen Mo flicked him on the forehead.

With a loud bang, Gu Feng was sent flying, smashing a large hole in the bed and the wall.

"Uh..." Gu Feng's eyes rolled back, his mind going completely blank from that moment.

"See? This is the effect of tempering an entire finger."

Chen Mo just used 80% of his strength; that blow could have easily turned a small car into scrap metal.

Ke Gufeng only had a small dent on his forehead, which shows how terrifying the physical strength of a martial artist can be.

"You, try someone else next time."

Gu Feng touched the small crater on his forehead and crawled out of the ruins.

"You punctured my steel bones so badly that it will take at least two days to heal."

Despite Gu Feng's complaints, his gaze toward Chen Mo's finger revealed undisguised longing.

"Can you take me with you next time you train your muscles?"

"Sure, but this thing is very much dependent on talent. Don't blame me if you don't live up to expectations."

Chen Mo didn't care; it was better for Gu Feng and the others to become stronger.

"Don't worry, I have no reason to blame others for my own lack of talent."

Gu Feng patted his chest and made a solemn promise.

"Alright, I'll go to the storage warehouse to get a new bed and pick up some materials to fix this place."

Chen Mo nodded, got up and left the small courtyard where the three of them lived.

At the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, most things must be done independently.

The Great Xia Grandmaster Academy is a place to cultivate strong individuals, not to cultivate useless people who just sit around waiting to be fed.

The students in charge of cooking in the kitchen are from the Food Academy, the students in charge of making pills are from the Pharmacy Academy, and the students from other Grandmaster Academies are responsible for providing them with ingredients and materials.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out an information sheet from his pocket.

This information slip was something he had casually slipped into his pocket earlier, and now it seems like it might be worth something.

One hundred and fifty-six kilometers away from the entrance to the Kunlun Mountain Abyss Rift lies the Silver Wolf Mountain Range.

Beyond the Silver Wolf Mountains lies a city of Abyss Warriors, surrounded by farms of varying sizes.

Eighty percent of these farms produce food crops, while the remaining twenty percent grow medicinal herbs.

Currently, the medicinal materials used by the human race are mostly produced in the Abyss, especially high-quality and high-grade medicinal materials.

Only raw materials for elixirs of level three or below can be produced and cultivated on human territory. Once they exceed level three, they can only be obtained by entering the abyss.

The main reason is that the energy concentration in human territory is too low, far less concentrated than in the abyss.

Despite Chen Mo's extremely high attributes, he still has a need for high-quality medicinal herbs and resources.

Moreover, the demand is quite high.

"How about... we go after the CET-6 exam?"

Chen Mo rubbed his chin, wondering if he could go out and freeload once he had storage space.

Once this idea takes hold, it can never be erased. Chen Mo is now increasingly looking forward to the day when he will have his own storage space.

However, the most urgent task is to repair his room, otherwise the cold wind at night on the summit of Kunlun Mountain is quite unbearable.
