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

Although he was very busy during this period, Chen Mo did not forget to train his muscles.

Of course, there is also the practice of raging fire.

Currently, Chen Mo's muscle tempering progress has reached 25%, and his arms and chest muscles have been tempered.

My proficiency with the Blazing Inferno is slowly improving, but unfortunately, this skill can only be mastered through practice; there are no other methods to assist me.

Furthermore, as the muscles in his arms were fully developed, Chen Mo's body became increasingly robust, even giving him a sense of indestructibility.

"So, don't you know that the increased resilience after reaching level nine isn't due to a physical transformation?"

Inside the Mountain City Research Institute, Qiu Wushuang stood beside Chen Mo and asked.

"Although the Golden Body greatly improves physical strength, it is far from reaching your level, not to mention that you are not a level nine Golden Body martial artist."

"The biggest change after level nine is the ability to release qi and blood outwards, forming a protective film on the body surface."

"The protective layer layered with the golden body is what creates the powerful defense of a level nine martial artist."

"Your physique is more robust than many level nine martial artists' blood membranes and golden bodies combined. How did you manage to do that?"

Upon hearing Qiu Wushuang's explanation, Chen Mo realized just how different he was from a level nine martial artist.

"I don't know either, it just happened like this while I was practicing."

Chen Mo shrugged. He couldn't very well say that he was a pure numbers freak, could he?

"That's how you mutated martial artists are; your bodies undergo all sorts of completely incomprehensible changes."

Qiu Wushuang sighed. Even as a grandmaster, she couldn't explain most of the things that happened to the mutated martial artists.

"But the mutation on you is ultimately a good thing. Many mutated martial artists have ruined themselves through mutation."

As she spoke, Qiu Wushuang tapped Chen Mo's arm, making a crisp, tinkling sound.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this strength feels comparable to S-grade alloy."

"Oh, by the way, an old acquaintance of yours came to the research institute today. Come out."

Qiu Wushuang called out to someone behind her, and a figure in a wheelchair was pushed out.

It was Chu Tianhua and Chu Chi.

"Dean Chu, what are you doing here?" Chen Mo was a little surprised. Shanghai is not close to Chongqing. What is this old man doing here?

"What, you're not welcoming me?" Chu Tianhua chuckled, and Chu Chi pushed him in front of Chen Mo.

"I've already heard from Governor Qiu that your body has mutated again?"

Chu Tianhua was actually very excited. It was not uncommon for martial artists like Chen Mo to undergo continuous mutations, but it was extremely rare for all of their continuous mutations to be benign.

"Yes, Aunt Qiu said my physical strength is even stronger than that of a level nine martial artist."

Chen Mo scratched his head, trying to look like he didn't know what was going on.

"The experimental sample size is still too small..."

Chu Tianhua sighed. There was only one martial artist like Chen Mo who possessed both spiritual power and blood energy at the same time, and he couldn't bear to cut open Chen Mo's head to take a look.

"How about this, I'll cut a small section of tissue for observation, while ensuring your safety?"

"Do you think this will work?"

"I don't need much: brain tissue, muscle tissue, connective tissue, skin, etc., which can regenerate on their own..."

Before Chu Tianhua could finish speaking, he felt Qiu Wushuang's murderous gaze.

"Cough, just kidding, how could I do such a thing?"

Chu Tianhua coughed lightly; this old lady really dared to beat him up.

After the beating, his whole body was covered in skin and flesh bruises, but his internal organs were completely unharmed.

"Getting back to the main point, those old fogies at the Grandmaster Academy told me you've gained another strange ability?"

"What ability?" Qiu Wushuang turned to look at Chen Mo, this child hadn't told her about it.

"It's not anything too powerful, it's just that it can conceal its aura and hide its form."

In front of these two, Chen Mo didn't dare to show off, as he would easily give himself away.

"Show me." Chu Tianhua nodded. Now, nothing strange happened to Chen Mo anymore.

Chen Mo slowly retreated, and after walking about five meters, he disappeared right in front of a grandmaster and a master of spiritual power.

Their pupils constricted instantly, especially Qiu Wushuang's.

Where are they?

"Even infrared cameras can't capture it, I can't even sense this kid's spiritual power..."

Chu Tianhua looked shocked; this was the first time he had ever seen such an ability!

"Don't even mention you, I can't sense even the slightest bit of your vital energy."

Qiu Wushuang's expression was serious; this ability was truly terrifying.

Whether it's infiltration, assassination, or stealth, Chen Mo's ability is a perfect fit.

If even a grandmaster-level expert couldn't detect him, then only a tiny fraction of people in human society could.

No, not necessarily. Those people might not even be able to detect Chen Mo's presence.

"Well, actually, this ability of mine has a major drawback."

Chen Mo reappeared in front of the two.

"I can perfectly hide myself from five meters away, but if I get within five meters, I will be exposed instantly."

"It's a bit of a mixed bag, haha."

Chen Mo scratched his nose and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"A chicken rib?" Qiu Wushuang shook her head.

"This is not a useless skill; it is an extremely precious and special ability."

"If a grandmaster possesses this ability, there are countless things he can do."

Qiu Wushuang had even begun to imagine the effects of having this ability.

Putting aside other things, there are ways to explore the newly formed abyssal fissures in the southern part of the South Island.

"I'm not really interested in those things, I just want to know how you did it?"

Chu Tianhua's eyes lit up. Chen Mo's ability was unprecedented and unparalleled.

If it can be promoted...

Well, I doubt it will be widely adopted, since not everyone possesses both spiritual power and vital energy simultaneously.

Or rather, only Chen Mo possesses both of these qualities.
