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

As time passed, Xue Le's eyes gradually widened.

"No way, less than a month... and he's already achieved Cyborg?"

Three hours later, Chen Mo's steel bone progress had reached 99%, and he was only one step away from a perfect steel bone.

Spend gold coins to buy the final 1% progress of Perfect Steel Bone!

"I wonder what the difference is between perfect and ordinary steel bones..."

Chen Mo was excited, not only because he was about to unlock his fifth skill slot, but also because he was about to activate the invisibility of the Demon Phantom.

[Do you wish to spend 7500 gold coins to purchase 1% progress on Perfect Steelbone?]

【whether】

Chen Mo clicked "Yes" without any hesitation.

[Perfect Steel Bone 1% Progress Purchase Successfully; Perfect Steel Marrow 1% Progress Available Now, Price: 22500 Gold Coins]

[Stage 3 Completed, Fifth Skill Slot Unlocked, 10000 Gold Coins Received]

[The host has been found to have achieved perfect steel skin and blood, and perfect steel bones, resonating with it and undergoing mutation!]

The next moment, Chen Mo's metallic bones began to slowly change color, and a layer of golden substance enveloped the metallic bones.

[Perfect Steel Bones → Golden Bones]

[Passive: Health regeneration increased by 100%]

[Passive Skill 2: For every 1% decrease in health, attack and defense increase by 2%, up to a maximum of 200%!]

[Active: Restores 20% of health per second for 60 seconds after activation. 24-hour cooldown after use!]

Chen Mo was still studying the skills of the Golden Bone and was completely unaware that his bones were radiating golden light.

Furthermore, it emitted extremely terrifying fluctuations of qi and blood, faintly displaying the might of a grandmaster!

"This, this is... an indestructible golden body!??"

Xue Le's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Wasn't this the indestructible golden body after the three cores were unified?

What's wrong with this kid? Has he become a grandmaster?

That's not right. He hasn't condensed the three cores, nor has he completed the tempering of the steel marrow and the three jiaos and meridians of the five internal organs...

Could it be...?

Xue Le's imagination ran wild. He suddenly wondered if the Grandmaster's pressure had merged into the Steel Bone, causing the Steel Bone to prematurely become an indestructible golden body.

Seeing the golden light emanating from Chen Mo growing brighter, Xue Le frowned and released his qi and blood to conceal what was happening here.

This matter cannot be revealed for now; we'll discuss it after Chen Mo regains his senses.

Xue Le found it increasingly unbelievable; this unique aura was clearly the kind of indestructible golden body that only a Grandmaster could possess.

"It's terrifying. Kids these days are more talented than the last. We old folks are really falling behind."

With a sigh, Xue Le's dejected expression gradually turned into a smile.

"That makes sense. If each generation is worse than the last, what's the point of all our hard work?"

"Keep it up, kid. I'm looking forward to the day you surpass me."

With thirteen grandmasters in charge of the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, they could naturally detect any activity within the academy at any time.

Eleven figures suddenly appeared in the sky, and they all stared wide-eyed at Chen Mo, whose body was radiating golden light.

"The indestructible golden body..."

"Old Xue, what's going on?"

"How did this child manage to form an indestructible golden body?"

Apart from Qiu Lin, who was guarding the entrance to the abyss rift, all twelve grandmasters from the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy were present.

Everyone stared at Chen Mo, who was radiating golden light, but their eyes held a hint of bewilderment.

Even they, as grandmasters, had never seen such a scene.

An eighteen-year-old boy who had just finished tempering his steel bones actually condensed an indestructible golden body.

"No, it's not an indestructible golden body. Chen Mo's bones have simply mutated, resulting in the indestructible golden body."

Xue Le shared his wild idea, and the surrounding masters suddenly understood.

"So that's how it is. The Grandmaster's pressure seeped into the bones, and with the secondary tempering and the assistance of mental power, this mutation occurred."

Xu Qing frowned. Although she felt there was something wrong with this explanation, she had no better explanation for the time being, so this was the only option.

"No one should disturb him; whatever you do, don't let him get distracted."

"We understand." The masters nodded; Chen Mo had now become a treasure in their hearts.

A genius who has condensed an indestructible golden body bone at the fifth-level... no, sixth-level Steel Bone Realm is definitely the focus of attention for the entire upper class and even the entire Great Xia.

At this moment, Chen Mo was unaware that he had become a monkey in a zoo, being forcefully observed by twelve grandmasters.

He's currently looking at his brand-new attribute panel and enjoying himself.

"Holy crap, is the jump from level five to level six really that big...?"

Name: Chen Mo

【HP: 4519100】

[Life Regeneration: 2000 per second]

Attack: 145382 (Base attack 55000)

[Defense: 89000]

[Qi and Blood: 369000]

【Mental Power: 700】

【Speed: 266】

【...】

Putting everything else aside, with his current attribute panel, Chen Mo could easily spar with an eighth-level martial artist.

Or rather, as long as it's not a fourth-tier martial artist, Chen Mo is confident he can kill them.

The attributes of the top four martial artists are simply too high, a gap as wide as an insurmountable chasm.

"No, if we calculate it this way, after I break through to the upper fourth rank, will I be able to spar with a Grandmaster?"

"..."

"Forget it, it's better not to do anything reckless."

Then, Chen Mo continued to ponder the newly added 'Golden Bone' on his panel for a while.

"Perfect Steel Skin increases defense, Perfect Steel Blood increases overall attributes, Perfect Steel Bones increase health regeneration, so... what about Perfect Steel Marrow?"

"Could it be increasing maximum health?"

"Or some other attribute?"

Speculation is meaningless; only by successfully forging perfect steel marrow can one know what it really looks like.

"I should be able to trigger Demon Phantom's passive skill now..."

With that in mind, Chen Mo equipped the Demon Phantom from his warehouse.

Fortunately, passive skills don't consume skill slots, so he can equip as many as he wants...

What does it mean when a passive skill is maxed out?

[The host can equip a maximum of two passive skills at a time. To unlock more passive skill slots, please complete subsequent tasks.]

[Phase Four Mission Released: Complete the tempering of Steel Marrow Energy. Upon completion, the sixth skill slot will be unlocked, and you will be rewarded with 20,000 gold coins.]

"If the Steel Marrow is energized, isn't that perfect Steel Marrow?"

[Note: Steel Marrow Energy Transformation is a higher-level state based on Perfect Steel Marrow, similar to Golden Bones. Please explore this on your own.]

"Who cares? I'll get my storage space first."

Putting the matter out of his mind, Chen Mo finally came back to his senses.

But when he opened his eyes, the twelve large faces in front of him startled him.

"Grandmasters...is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Mo was full of questions. How did so many people suddenly appear?

Also, why didn't I notice it at all?
