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

"Then let's take a detour. It's too dangerous to go directly through the Silver Wolf Mountains."

Chen Mo has begun to consider whether he should refine his own parts, otherwise it will always be a weakness.

"That's what I was thinking too. There are many rare medicinal herbs along the way in the Silver Wolf Mountains. We can pick some along the way."

Zhu Long nodded. He was indeed a burly, strong man, but that didn't mean he wasn't smart.

I've already seriously offended the Silver Moon Wolf King, so I definitely can't go looking for death at a time like this.

"Let's go." After handing the map to He Miao, they no longer needed to worry about finding their way, as they had He Miao's super brain.

He Miao was also quite capable; after a short period of familiarization and memorization, she had memorized all the branch roads of the Silver Wolf Mountain Range.

"Wait a minute, let me put on the controller first."

He Miao pulled out a black, full-coverage helmet from his small backpack, and four jet drones took off at the same time.

"I remember modern technology is unusable in the Abyss, isn't it?"

Zhu Long frowned. Even a pistol needs to have its propellant modified to fire properly, yet a drone can be used in the abyss?

"Yes, it is indeed unusable with normal technology."

He Miao replied as he led the way.

"Just like a pistol, you can successfully fire it by replacing the gunpowder with a certain proportion of energy stone powder."

"This drone was also made by imitating the technology of the Abyss Warriors, and it is powered entirely by energy stones."

"Technology, to put it simply, is like boiling water and throwing stones; you just need to adapt it a little."

"The only obstacle preventing the widespread adoption of Abyss Technology right now is energy; otherwise, it would have been put into use on a large scale long ago."

"I see, I hadn't paid attention to these things before."

Zhu Long nodded; He Miao's explanation was quite simple and easy to understand.

"Go straight for 47 kilometers to reach the Silver Wolf Mountains. Once you enter the Silver Wolf Mountains, just follow the direction of the drone."

One drone was left behind for navigation, while the remaining three drones landed above Chen Mo and his group to monitor their surroundings.

...

Compared to the vastness of other shallow abysses, the deep abysses feel relatively small.

Furthermore, it lacked the numerous abyssal beasts found in the shallower abysses, making it appear unusually desolate and empty.

The sky was completely black, with the few sources of light coming from the bioluminescent plants growing from the ground.

These luminescent plants are generally highly poisonous; even a martial artist would die if he ate a single bite, rendering them completely useless.

"This place is no place for humans to live..."

As he traveled, Gu Feng muttered a complaint.

"How exactly is the Abyss structured?"

"Is the area above our heads a mid-level abyss, and above that a shallow abyss?"

"Who knows? That's not the focus right now, is it?" Chen Mo was actually quite curious, but with his current strength, he wasn't qualified to explore it.

"None of you have learned this?" Zhu Long frowned. He remembered that these courses were taught in the senior year...

By the way, these junior brothers and sisters all entered the Grandmaster Academy directly after graduating from high school.

This is completely abandoning academic studies! How can this be allowed?

"To put it another way, the passage from the shallow abyss to the middle abyss is called the Path of No Return."

"The path from the deep abyss to the middle abyss is also one that you can enter but not exit, just like the shallow abyss."

"Aside from creatures like the Abyss Demons that can travel back and forth, it's a one-way passage for us."

"Currently, both shallow and deep abysses have been studied to some extent, but the only one that has not been studied is the intermediate abyss."

"To date, no one has ever come out of the middle abyss, not even a grandmaster."

"Therefore, some scholars speculate that the abyss is also a planet, just different from the planet we live on the surface of."

"The Abyss dwells beneath the Earth's crust, where gravity is reversed, and the Middle Abyss is the core region of the entire Abyss."

"..." Chen Mo and the others were completely confused, mainly because Zhu Long's explanation was too vague.

"Oh, there's no need to know so much. Just think of the Abyss Humans as underground people who live underground. Anyway, there's no difference."

Zhu Long waved his hand. His academic performance wasn't great either; he was already quite good at being able to explain it.

"Here's what we'll do: after you complete this stage of physical tempering, the deans and I will apply for a tutor to teach you academic subjects."

"Or we could send you to a martial arts academy to learn some basic knowledge about the abyss."

"We'll see." Chen Mo wasn't very interested in academic subjects; he still preferred dangerous places like the Deep Abyss.

With a grandmaster serving as his human gravity tempering chamber and a vast supply of resources unavailable to the outside world, Chen Mo had no desire to suffer at a martial arts academy.

"Attention everyone, we are about to enter the Silver Wolf Mountains region. The surrounding energy particles are becoming more active."

"Attention! A pack of seven Silver Moon Wolves has appeared 1,350 meters away. Be careful."

Upon hearing the sound of Silver Moon Wolves ahead, Chen Mo dashed out in a single stride.

After the charging attack indicator appeared, Chen Mo swung the Phoenix Beak Dragon Fang Halberd in his hand, and with a sweeping attack, he directly shattered the seven silver moon wolves.

[Dealt 387576 damage! Maximum health increased by 46509!]

[Dealt 387576 damage! Maximum health increased by 46509!]

[Caused 387576 points...]

After seven consecutive system announcements, Chen Mo's "steel addiction," which had been nagging him for nearly a month, was finally relieved.

The Great Xia Grandmaster Academy is full of powerful experts, so Chen Mo can spar with whomever he wants.

However, the defense of a fourth-level martial artist was simply too high, and he couldn't break through it at all, so he couldn't increase his health.

Martial artists of the same level are too fragile; a single blow can easily kill them. Abyss beasts are much more cost-effective.

"Cool!"

Chen Mo's sweeping attack increased his health by a full 325,000. If he didn't have important business to attend to, he would have liked to fight a guerrilla war in the Silver Wolf Mountains.

"What a waste of all those wolf pelts..."

Zhu Long picked up a fragment of a Silver Moon Wolf from the ground with a pained expression.

These abyssal beasts only appear in the deepest abysses, making their fur priceless.

A complete Silvermoon Wolf pelt can fetch a high price of three million.

In other words, Chen Mo's sweeping attack just now burned out 21 million.

"..." Chen Mo's face turned green. He couldn't be blamed; the charged attack's damage was just too high...

These Silver Moon Wolves generally only have 120,000 to 130,000 HP and are around level four in strength. They couldn't withstand Chen Mo's charged attack at all.

"Alright, let's be careful from now on. Silver Moon Wolf pelts and bones can fetch a high price outside the Grandmaster Academy."

Zhu Long sighed. It was normal for Chen Mo not to know the value of the Silver Moon Wolf.

"Silver Moon Wolf bones of level eight and above are excellent weapon materials, and can sell for around ten million per kilogram in the outside world. Even level four bones can sell for five figures per kilogram."

"The best way to kill a Silvermoon Wolf is to shatter its internal organs, so as not to damage its fur and bones."
