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

"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Xue Le grabbed Chen Mo's arm and found that his body was much heavier than before.

"No, my blood and energy are flowing smoothly, my body is relaxed, and I feel very comfortable all over."

Chen Mo found it strange; he didn't know why these grandmasters were looking at him so nervously.

"Put away the golden light first; it's too ostentatious."

Geng Lianhu shook his head. Chen Mo's bones were still glowing, and he looked like a giant light bulb.

"Glowing?" Only then did Chen Mo realize that his entire body was radiating a dazzling golden light.

"How do you turn this thing off?"

"You figured it out yourself, don't you know?" Geng Lianhu sighed, after all, he was still just a child.

"Even Lian Hu and Chen Mo don't know how they became like this, so it's normal that they can't control themselves."

Xu Qing came out, shook her head, and gently squatted down to examine Chen Mo's physical condition.

"There's nothing seriously wrong with my body. I estimate I'll be able to control it after a while."

"Don't go out for the next few days, and don't rush to start tempering your marrow. Wait until you have a check-up before making any decisions."

"Come with me to the pharmacy in a little while, I'll give you a full body checkup."

"Oh..." Chen Mo nodded, he knew why these grandmasters were all gathered here.

It was because he was such a bright light bulb all along.

Just then, Chen Mo was suddenly lifted up by Xue Le.

"A thousand jin, you've reached a thousand jin now."

Xue Le couldn't contain his excitement. His weight had increased dramatically, but his body shape hadn't changed, which meant that Chen Mo's golden bones were indeed the Indestructible Golden Body.

The physique of a grandmaster is no different from that of an ordinary person, but his weight is hundreds of times that of an ordinary person.

Weight gain is not just a privilege of grandmasters; any martial artist who enters the upper fourth rank will begin to gain weight rapidly.

Their physical strength will also be greatly enhanced, making them truly invulnerable to blades and bullets.

Unless the firearms are excessively powerful, they are ineffective against martial artists of the fourth rank.

This is also one of the reasons why the higher-ups wanted to keep the battlefield within the abyss, since the destructive power of a fourth-level martial artist is already considerable.

Once a Grandmaster invades the city, it will be reduced to utter ruins.

"Body transforms into a golden body..." The other grandmasters gasped in shock. A level six martial artist's body had actually begun to transform into a golden body.

This is something that many top-tier martial artists can only dream of.

"What is Golden Body Transformation...?" Chen Mo's face was filled with even more question marks; he practically wanted to stuff those question marks into the faces of the grandmasters.

"What? You haven't learned these basics?"

"What did you do in college?"

Geng Lianhu frowned. How come this child hasn't even mastered the basics?

Could he be the kind of person who is so engrossed in martial arts that he neglects everything else?

"Lian Hu, this kid never attended a martial arts academy. He entered the Grandmaster Academy right after graduating from high school."

Xu Qing smiled and spoke up for Chen Mo.

"Right, the old man forgot about it." Geng Lianhu slapped his forehead and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"I've misunderstood you, kid."

"But... it won't work if you don't master these basics."

Xu Qing thought for a moment. The teachers from the School of Literature at the Martial Arts Academy, which is closest to Kunlun Mountain, had recently gone to attend a lecture, and the scholar they knew was also unavailable at the moment.

"It seems we should arrange for these children to attend a nearby martial arts academy to study academic subjects first."

"Can I not go? I feel like it's not a big deal if I don't study academic subjects..."

Chen Mo's expression changed. He had been planning to go to Black Cloud City to mine and unlock his storage space in the next few days.

"No, at least we need to learn the basic knowledge that martial artists need to master and the Abyss Language."

Xu Qing's expression was serious, clearly indicating she wasn't joking.

"The knowledge we old folks possess is likely outdated; it would be more appropriate for us to study at a martial arts academy."

"Here's what we'll do. You should get used to the Steel Bone Realm for the next few days, and we'll help you guys get an exchange student spot."

Xu Qing thought for a moment and decided that she should wait until Chen Mo's golden aura faded before making a move, otherwise it would be too conspicuous.

This child is already under the Abyss Cult's watchful eye. If it is revealed that he can transform into a golden body at level six, then the Abyss Cult will target him without restraint.

"How long will it take?" Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't sent to the martial arts academy right now, it would be fine.

"I don't know, maybe a week or half a month. During this time, you should adapt to the indestructible golden body as quickly as possible."

Xu Qing is considering which martial arts academy is most suitable for Chen Mo and his children, so the timing hasn't been finalized yet.

"The name 'Undying Golden Body Bone' is too awkward. I think 'Golden Bone' would be better."

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo told the system the name it had given him.

"That's right, the name 'Undying Golden Body' is a bit too flamboyant. The name 'Golden Bone' is much more suitable."

Xue Le nodded. They had to protect Chen Mo and absolutely could not let anything happen to the child.

"Go back and rest first. Don't temper your steel marrow or go to the abyss rift before you start learning basic cultural courses."

The twelve grandmasters had no objection to the name given to Chen Mo's physique; it didn't matter what it was called.

"I understand." Chen Mo got up, dusted himself off, and jogged away from the encirclement of the twelve grandmasters.

"Wait a minute, come with me to get a physical exam first, then you can go back!"

Xu Qing grabbed Chen Mo's shoulder and pulled him to the pharmacy.

"Old Xue, let's research the topic of potential mutations that might occur when the body is tempered under the pressure of a Grandmaster later."

A middle-aged man wearing glasses turned to look at Xue Le with a serious expression.

This person is Pei Hong, the dean of the Food Academy. He is a level 13 Grandmaster and a scholar with considerable research on the structure of martial artists.

However, the things he studies are too advanced for him to be Chen Mo's teacher.

"I know, I know, even low-probability events are worth studying..." Xue Le pouted.

"No, it's not necessarily a low-probability event; it could very well be widely implemented..."

...

That night, after an afternoon of inspections that found nothing unusual, Chen Mo finally returned to his small courtyard.

"Ahem." Gu Feng coughed lightly, crossed his legs, and gestured with his chin toward Chen Mo.

"Spit it out if you have something to say, I'm exhausted after a long day."

Chen Mo rolled his eyes. This guy was probably going to start showing off again.

"I advise you to show me some respect. I'm now a Level 7 Steel Marrow Realm martial artist, and I just broke through this afternoon~"

Gu Feng said with some pride.

At eighteen years old, Gu Feng was indeed proud of his Steel Marrow Realm cultivation.

Looking across the entire Great Xia Dynasty, there are only a handful of martial artists at the Steel Marrow Realm who are eighteen years old, and Gu Feng is one of them.
