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

Golden light enveloped Chen Mo's body, and his long-accumulated violent power erupted instantly.

The Ghost Armor Beast sensed the terrifying power of the punch and let out a strange cry as it tried to escape the Cycle of Reincarnation.

The Cycle of Reincarnation had sealed off all his chances of escape, and the Ghost Armor Beast could only watch helplessly as the punch landed on its body.

The earth instantly vaporized under the terrifying power of this punch, and the Ghost Armor Beast's proud, hard black scales were instantly evaporated.

[Dealts 26371348 points of true damage!]

[Target in the Cycle of Despair has been defeated; 20% of all attributes have been plundered]

[Plunder Attributes: Health 3200000, Defense 450000, Attack 200000...]

[Low-probability event occurred; successfully plundered the outer defensive scales of the Ghost Armor Beast!]

"What is it?"

Chen Mo, who was just excited that his life points had finally exceeded ten million, was stunned because he found that a layer of black scales had grown on his right hand.

"What the hell is going on...?"

Before Chen Mo could react, his entire body was covered by a layer of black scales, except for his eyes which were still exposed. The rest of his body was completely covered.

Chen Mo is no longer human; he's more like a beast with a dark side.

"System, what's going on?"

"Also, how do I remove this thing?"

Chen Mo panicked. In his current state, let alone continuing to live, he would easily be mistaken for a beast and killed even if he left the Global Center.

[While the host was plundering attributes, Perfect Steelhide resonated with the scales of the Demon Armor Beast, triggering an extremely low-probability event: Talent Plunder]

Similar to a perfectly steel-like body, stopping the flow of qi and blood will restore it to its normal state.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo quickly stopped activating the Perfect Steel Skin, and the layer of black scales then faded away.

"That's a bit scary..."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he could turn back; it would have been troublesome if he couldn't.

After glancing at the Global Center, which was almost completely reduced to ruins, Chen Mo didn't have much to say.

Nie Yan was already secretly pleased that no one was injured; the Global Center could simply be rebuilt at worst.

The 3,000 kilograms of explosives were successfully defused thanks to the efforts of Ma Wanglin and eight students from the Mountain City Martial Arts Academy, and were eventually handed over to bomb disposal experts from the Martial Arts Bureau for harmless disposal.

Opening his attribute panel, Chen Mo grinned as he looked at his eight-digit health points.

Name: Chen Mo

【HP: 10065400】

Attack: 406808

[Defense: 489000]

【...】

Finally, Chen Mo's defense successfully surpassed his attack power, and his current attributes are comparable to those of a level nine martial artist in all aspects.

His only weakness was his lack of qi and blood compared to a level nine martial artist, but as his cultivation level increased, his qi and blood were always several times higher than those of the same level.

"By the way, take a look at this talent plundering..."

I was so busy looking at my own stats and laughing like an idiot that I completely forgot about the black scale armor.

【Perfect Steel Skin - Ghost Armor: The second form of Perfect Steel Skin. In addition to the original 100% increase in defense after activating Perfect Steel Skin, it increases defense by an additional 50% and energy resistance by 20%】

[Note: The HP consumed in Ghost Armor state is 5 times that of Perfect Steel Skin.]

"If that's the case, my defense in Ghost Armor form is approaching one million!?"

Ignoring the five-fold increase in consumption, this ghost armor is honestly a bit abnormal.

With both Perfect Steel Skin and Ghost Armor activated simultaneously, Chen Mo's defense can reach over a million.

A million! That's a level that only a level 10 martial artist with a golden body can achieve.

"Since this thing is an extension of the perfect steel skin, can it also be partially opened?"

After thinking for a while, Chen Mo decided to try it on his right hand.

"Chen Mo!"

Just as Chen Mo was pondering how to test his current defense, Gu Feng rushed in from outside with a look of anxiety on his face.

"Are you... are you alright?"

Although Gu Feng knew that Chen Mo was much stronger than him, he was still very worried because Chen Mo was a level nine abyss beast.

"I'm fine, are those anime fans okay?"

Chen Mo quickly stopped channeling his energy into the ghost armor and turned to look at Gu Feng.

"They're all fine, except for one student from the Mountain City Martial Arts Academy who got injured."

Gu Feng recalled that everyone except that unlucky guy was fine.

"What's going on? Has a beast that even Ma Wanglin couldn't defeat appeared?"

Chen Mo frowned. Don't underestimate Ma Wanglin just because she is a level six martial artist. Ordinary level seven martial artists are no match for her.

"No, they didn't encounter any Abyss Beasts along the way."

Gu Feng shook his head.

"What exactly happened? Why did you get injured?"

Chen Mo was bewildered. If he hadn't encountered any enemies, how had he gotten injured?

"Oh, that unlucky guy tripped over a protruding steel bar while defusing the bomb and chipped a front tooth."

"..."

Chen Mo was speechless. How could a martial artist trip over a steel bar and even knock out his front tooth?

These students really need more practice; they all go blank when faced with a little trouble. I'll talk to Liu Yun about it later.

"By the way, Governor Qiu Wushuang has already killed that level eleven abyss beast. So far, apart from some minor scratches, there have been no civilian casualties."

Gu Feng suddenly remembered that Qiu Wushuang had just been looking for Chen Mo.

"Governor Qiu seems to still be looking for you; it seems there's something he needs to discuss..."

"I understand. Let's go outside first. I have a feeling this place is about to collapse."

Chen Mo glanced at the crumbling ceiling. The damage caused by the breathtaking sight was too great; the overall structure of the Global Center had suffered severe damage.

This incident also made the Mountain City Martial Arts Bureau realize the danger posed by cult martial artists, and a thunderous crackdown operation was launched.

Having just emerged from the ruins of the Global Center, Chen Mo bumped into a muscular man with well-developed pectoral muscles...?

Wait, these pectoral muscles seem a bit soft?

"You're Chen Mo?"

A young woman, over two meters tall with an explosive figure, was looking down at Chen Mo.

"It's me. May I ask who you are?"

Chen Mo swallowed hard, his gaze completely focused on the two head-sized pectoral muscles.

"What are you looking at, you brat? Even your master, Song Bin, calls me Aunt Qiu!"

Qiu Wushuang grabbed Chen Mo's ear. This little pervert is really bold. He stared at her chest muscles as soon as they met.

"Aunt Qiu!?"

Chen Mo's newly ignited interest vanished instantly; he wasn't ready to play steel wool with a rich woman.

"From now on, you can call me Aunt Qiu too."

Qiu Wushuang chuckled and loosened her grip on Chen Mo's ear, giving him a once-over.

"You're really sturdy. I feel like you're not that far off from a level nine martial artist."
