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

"System, how is the cost of this energy liquid calculated?"

Chen Mo licked his lips. The energy liquid looked extremely precious, but it didn't seem like something a person could use directly.

The settlement method for energy liquid is the same as that for ultra-pure energy stones: ten kilograms will be settled for one cubic meter of storage space.

[Given that the density of the energy liquid is greater than that of the ultrapure energy stone, the system recommends that the host use the energy liquid for settlement.]

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is truly a stroke of luck..."

Chen Mo's lips curled up. He had stumbled upon the energy core of Black Cloud City and even saw an energy liquid that the human race had never recorded before.

"Wait, could the energization of steel marrow be related to the energy fluid?"

"Why are you overthinking again? Let's finish the task first."

Chen Mo shook his head, took out the large burlap sack hanging from his waist, shook it, and quietly approached the freshly produced energy liquid.

But the moment Chen Mo got close to the energy liquid, he realized that his sack couldn't hold it.

At just about ten meters away, the terrifying heat scorched Chen Mo's eyebrows, causing them to curl up.

"Holy crap, how hot is this thing?"

Chen Mo gasped. It seemed he wouldn't be able to take the energy liquid with him until the storage space was unlocked.

But the task still needs to be completed, and having storage space makes everything much more convenient.

The location where the energy stones could be stored was too far inside, and there were too many workers. If Chen Mo tried to go there, he would definitely be discovered by the Demon Shadow.

With a flick of his eyeballs, Chen Mo slowly condensed a thin layer of qi and blood under his feet, and his whole body clung to the ceiling like a gecko.

It was a truly surreptitious experience.

This move is a little trick he developed after studying the Cloud Step, which allows him to use his qi and blood to adhere himself to any smooth surface.

It's just that his blood and qi consumption is extremely high, but Chen Mo doesn't have much else but his blood and qi are so abundant it's explosive.

The energy core chamber is quite tall, around eight meters, which fits perfectly within a five-meter radius around Chen Mo, providing him with ample space to move around.

However, if Chen Mo wanted to store the energy stone, he would have to land on the ground, as he had not yet reached the level of controlling objects remotely with his qi and blood.

Only martial artists of the fourth rank can master the external release of their qi and blood. The qi and blood that they spew out during battle is merely the qi and blood vapor generated by the high-speed flow of qi and blood.

The workers responsible for filling the packing were mostly level five martial artists, and Chen Mo was confident he could kill them within fifteen seconds.

Because every Abyss Warrior within his field of vision had a Heart Steel charging attack symbol appear on their chest.

He didn't believe that those top-tier martial artists and grandmasters could arrive here in fifteen seconds.

Once he re-enters his demonic phantom state, even a grandmaster wouldn't be able to find him.

"Come on, baby, all of you, get into my sack!"

Chen Mo, who was lying on the ceiling, pounced down like a demon and punched through the level 5 Abyss Warrior who was shoveling energy stones below.

"Kakagu!"

The surrounding workers also saw Chen Mo suddenly appear, and they all pounced on him with fierce expressions.

"Die!"

Chen Mo felt absolutely no pity for these Abyss warriors.

He had read the records in the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy's library; these beasts took pleasure in killing humans.

What they did would get them banned instantly if posted online.

Chen Mo's blood and qi surged, transforming him into a tank of blood and qi as he rampaged through the energy core chamber.

[Dealts 556000 damage, increases maximum health by 66720!]

Unlike the genius martial artists of the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, the life values ​​of these Abyss martial artists are roughly the same as the normal values.

Let's put it this way: if Chen Mo threw one punch, these level 5 Abyss warriors would owe him ten vials of blood.

In just ten seconds, Chen Mo had killed all the Abyss Warriors in the entire energy core room, and at that moment, terrifying energy fluctuations came from outside the door.

Chen Mo couldn't care less about anything else. Since he had already been exposed, he should hurry up and collect as many energy stones as he could!

With the large sack dangling from his shoulder, Chen Mo transformed into a bulldozer, not caring whether the energy stones he was loading were low-grade, mid-grade, or ultra-pure; he just kept loading them in!

Three seconds later, the sound of the door opening rang out behind Chen Mo.

"Damn! How did they get here so fast!"

Chen Mo panicked a little; if he got caught, he definitely wouldn't survive.

He'll probably die a horrible death.

After glancing at the sack that was already full, Chen Mo gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"System, settle the account now!"

[System settlement in progress...]

[Random task completed successfully. Host has collected a total of 77 kg of low-grade energy stones, 26 kg of mid-grade energy stones, and 10 kg of ultra-pure energy stones!]

[Storage space successfully unlocked, totaling two cubic meters!]

"It's ready!"

Chen Mo's eyes lit up. He threw aside the large sack in his hand and turned to rush towards the scalding hot liquefied energy pool.

"Stop pretending, why isn't it working?"

Please touch the item you wish to store.

"It's so hot..."

Chen Mo gritted his teeth, steeled his resolve, and plunged his hand directly into the scalding hot energy liquid.

呲! !

Chen Mo's flesh and blood rapidly vaporized, revealing the golden bones beneath.

Half of the energy liquid in the energy pool disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Chen Mo's storage space was also filled with the scalding energy liquid at this moment.

"Alright, let's go!"

Chen Mo no longer cared about the burning pain; he turned around and was about to rush out the door.

But those cold eyes made Chen Mo stop in his tracks.

"Warriors from the Land of Glory?"

The figure's voice was neither sad nor happy; he simply stared at Chen Mo indifferently.

"You can speak human language?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment; this was the first time he had ever encountered an Abyss Warrior who could speak human language.

"Hmph, I never expected that the energy core could be invaded by warriors from the Land of Glory."

The figure snorted coldly, and a large hand made of energy slammed down towards Chen Mo.

"Are you sure you want to fight me here?"

Chen Mo's back was covered in cold sweat, but he still did his best to activate his Golden Bone.

The golden bones radiated a golden light, exuding a powerful aura befitting a grandmaster.

"The Venerable Realm!?"

The Abyss Warrior, whose strength was unknown but at least level twelve, stopped and looked at Chen Mo in front of him with surprise.

Chen Mo was secretly delighted; he had actually fooled this guy.

The Golden Bone can indeed exude the aura of a Grandmaster, but it is only an aura; in every aspect, it cannot compare to the indestructible golden body of a Grandmaster.

"If you don't want the entire Black Cloud City to be destroyed, then you'd better obediently make way."

Chen Mo remained calm and walked steadily toward the Abyss Warrior whose strength was unknown.

Feeling the Grandmaster-level pressure emanating from Chen Mo, the Abyss Warrior broke out in a cold sweat and gritted his teeth to make way for him.

"Um?"

The Abyss Warrior was stunned when he saw Chen Mo's hands, which had lost their flesh and were now just golden bones.

The temperature of the freshly produced energy liquid is indeed very high, but it is absolutely impossible for it to harm a powerful being at the Venerable Realm.

In other words...

This little brat from the glorious land is lying to me!
