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

The moment the energy flowed into the right arm, the muscle cells that had not been tempered withered and died instantly.

The next second, new muscle cells regenerate and reorganize, and are clearly much tougher than the previous muscle cells.

This method proved effective, but it caused too much damage to the body, making it a completely unprofitable endeavor for ordinary martial artists.

But for Chen Mo, this method was fantastic. It only cost him a tiny bit of health, which he could recover in no time.

However... those muscle cells that become tougher will still die, and the new cells that replace them will return to their previous state.

"Looks like the energy drink I drank in one go wasn't enough..."

Chen Mo licked his lips, and this time he took out three grams of energy liquid and swallowed it.

A more violent but still controllable surge of energy flowed into Chen Mo's right arm, and the entire arm began to wither at a visible speed.

After a while, the withered areas gradually became full again, which was the effect of Chen Mo's golden bones.

"As expected, it improved by 0.1%!"

Chen Mo's eyes lit up when he saw that the progress had increased to 7.1%. How could the progress of muscle tempering be improved simply by consuming energy liquid? Where in the world could there be such a good thing?

This is so awesome!

But he never considered how extravagant his tempering method was.

Once processed, ten grams of this energy liquid can supply three level-five martial artists for a day of tempering.

But Chen Mo didn't treat this thing as a treasure at all; in his eyes, energy liquid wasn't anything precious.

In reality, it's almost impossible to buy energy liquid on the market; 99% of energy liquid is controlled by the state.

The remaining 1% will not circulate in the market; instead, it will be used by large families to raise their descendants.

In fact, judging from Chen Mo's current energy liquid reserves, he alone can match the reserves of all the ancient martial arts families in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

"Keep going, keep going, quickly refine it to 50%, then we'll have the final reserves..."

......

The next morning, Gu Feng, who was still half asleep, was woken up by a slap.

"It's almost six o'clock, hurry up and get up for class."

Chen Mo stood in front of Gu Feng's bed, while Gu Feng covered his face and looked around in a daze.

"Right, class starts at six today, I need to get up quickly..."

Still half asleep, Gu Feng climbed out of bed and dressed himself like a robot.

"Wait, Chen Mo, was it you who hit me just now?"

It wasn't until Chen Mo and the other two entered the lecture hall that Gu Feng touched his burning face.

"It's me, so what?"

Chen Mo nodded, readily admitting it.

"It feels like I've been whipped with a steel whip..."

Gu Feng muttered to himself, completely unaware of the dramatic change that had occurred in Chen Mo's right arm.

After a night of tempering, Chen Mo consumed a full 100 grams of energy liquid.

Even disregarding the fact that energy liquid is priceless and unavailable, the price of energy stones alone is astronomical.

Each gram of energy stone is worth 10,000, and the energy liquid is worth about sixty times that amount. This means Chen Mo burned through 180 million in one night...

However, this 180 million is still a significant improvement. Chen Mo's muscle tempering progress has increased by 2%, and his forearm is now basically tempered.

At a rate of 2% per night, Chen Mo only needs about twenty days to temper his muscles to 50%, and then he can finally obtain the reserve buff.

Of course, only Chen Mo could use this kind of expensive and physically damaging tempering method.

Anyone else would definitely not be able to handle it, whether it's the money involved or the physical damage.

"Hello to the students from the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy."

Just as the clock struck six, an elderly man with gray hair walked in.

He tapped the microphone on the podium and said to Chen Mo and the others with a smile.

"Just call me Professor Wei. I'll be in charge of teaching you Abyssal Language."

"The structure of the Abyss language is not complicated; it's just that some aspects differ from our understanding of language, which makes it relatively difficult to learn."

"But with my help, you'll be able to achieve basic communication within two weeks at most."

From this moment on, Chen Mo and his companions' fulfilling day officially began.

In the morning, Professor Wei taught a linguistics course, and in the afternoon, there was a basic course on the abyss and martial artists.

Every teacher is a leading academician, and their teaching style is quite accessible and easy to understand.

After a day of learning, Chen Mo gained a much better understanding of the Abyss.

The existence of the Deep Abyss is not currently public; it is only circulated in small circles among martial artists.

Therefore, most people in society only know the least dangerous beast tides and the least dangerous sea monsters in the Abyss.

The real crisis facing humanity is not actually them, but the covetous Abyss Warriors and countless Abyss Demons, all of which are unknown in the middle layers of the Abyss.

Professor Qi shared his speculations during his abyss cognition class.

The Abyss could very well be another planet, or another form of human civilization.

Furthermore, their technological level is far superior to that of Earth.

According to some historical records, the abyss was not once a dark place, but rather similar to the blue planet, possessing light and the sun.

However, after the light and the sun disappeared, civilization declined rapidly, which led to the fact that most of the technology in the abyss was obtained through archaeology.

Furthermore, order collapsed, and the world entered a period similar to the "apocalypse".

After a long period of adaptation, the Abyss once again restored order, only its civilization level had dropped too much.

The method of governance also became a slave-like system.

"How credible do you think Professor Qi's speculation is?"

Inside the dormitory, everyone, including Ma Wanglin and He Miao, gathered together.

What they learned today was so unbelievable that it gave them all a headache.

"I don't think these things are important. What's important is that the existence of the Deep Abyss should be revealed soon."

Gu Feng shook his head. As the eldest son of the new generation of a large family, he was not as dull and naive as he looked.

He just doesn't use it on his own brothers and friends.

"Look, considering the above-mentioned plan to give a helping hand to those who are good at practical combat, the emergence of the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, and the recent crackdown on cults, it's obvious that something big is about to happen."

"Do you remember the Newborn Abyss Rift in the southern part of the South Island? I heard from my grandfather that a nuclear bomb was used there."

"What!?" Chen Mo and the others were shocked. Song Bin, the governor of the South Island, was still there!
