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

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation came from the entrance of the rift behind them.

"Where's Chen Mo? How come you can't find a single instructor at your Mountain City Martial Arts Academy?"

Geng Lianhu charged into the abyss rift with a loud voice, leaving everyone staring at him in utter bewilderment.

"I knew it! How could such a big martial arts academy be completely empty? They've been playing mahjong all day."

Geng Lianhu grinned and landed directly next to Chen Mo.

"Hey kid, what's wrong? Why are you in such a sorry state? Did that old bastard Stone Lion bully you?"

"Can't you watch the occasion when you speak? Don't you see there are so many students and professors here? Give me some face."

Shi Jinshi sighed, looking at Geng Lianhu with a somewhat complicated expression.

"Mind your own business. I just came to check if Chen Mo and the others passed the assessment. If they did, I'll take them back."

Geng Lianhu didn't care about any of that. He was a lawless person by nature, but he had restrained himself a lot at the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy.

"By the way, Chen Mo, what's that stuck to you?"

Walking up to Chen Mo, Geng Lianhu plucked a purplish-red strand of hair from Chen Mo's head.

"..." The three grandmasters huddled together, all observing the thin thread on Chen Mo's head.

"This thing... looks like the pubic hair of a female Abyss Demon?"

"???????" Upon hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned.

"What kind of fur is this?"

"Alright, it's none of your business. I roughly know what happened."

After recovering to the Grandmaster level, Shi Jinshi's five senses also returned to their previous state.

He glanced around at the mentors and students, then looked at the advancing positions of the abyssal demons in the distance, and sighed with some regret.

"Wu Yaozu is really unlucky to have run into the Master of Ceremonies."

"Speaking of which, I've only been away from the Mountain City Martial Academy for a few years, how come a cult has infiltrated it?"

"A cult?" The instructors were all stunned. When did a cult appear in their martial arts academy?

"Forget it, you can't be blamed for this. The methods of the Master of Ceremonies are beyond your comprehension."

Shi Jinshi waved his hand, indicating that this matter was ultimately his own fault.

The only challenge right now is how to deal with that unlucky Wu Yaozu.

"Wushuang, Silly Tiger, let's take care of this together."

Shi Jinshi stood up and drew his Fierce Lion-Slaying Blade once more.

"Hmph, a few abyssal demons are nothing, I can handle them all by myself."

Geng Lianhu snorted coldly, and a pair of blood-red golden maces appeared in his hands.

That's right, Geng Lianhu's life core was also forged into a Grandmaster-level life weapon by him. This old guy is also one of the most famous outlaws among the Grandmasters.

Song Bin had to lean back a bit.

"You guys better get out of here. I can't worry about that now that I'm in a fight."

It was obvious that Geng Lianhu was a little excited; there hadn't been such a good opportunity to practice at the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy before.

"And you, that garrison commander, lead everyone out and leave the rest to me alone."

"Grandma Qiu, you should get out of here with the stone lions. Your presence will only hinder my performance."

Geng Lianhu twisted his neck, and an empty portal appeared behind him.

"A vital point!?"

Others might not understand, but how could Qiu Wushuang and Shi Jinshi not understand?

Once that ethereal vital point materializes, it means that a grandmaster has successfully found their vital point and entered level fourteen.

"Let's go, let's not get in the way."

Qiu Wushuang led everyone away from the abyss rift immediately.

Silly Tiger is right; he can indeed handle those level 13 Abyss Demons all by himself.

Or rather, those level 13 abyssal demons were merely his toys.

Back at the Mountain City Martial Arts Academy, this enormous crisis came to an end.

This was the first time Chen Mo had truly understood the sense of security that a top-tier expert could provide.

I used to think Geng Lianhu was just an unreliable old man, but after this experience, this old man seems to be quite fierce.

Even Qiu Wushuang didn't dare to refute his words.

"Chen Mo...are you alright?"

Gu Feng then came over and looked Chen Mo up and down, noting that he had hardly any good flesh on his body, and asked.

"What could possibly be wrong? I think you're the one in trouble right now."

Chen Mo glanced at Gu Feng and could tell from the guy's eyes that his brain seemed to have been formatted.

"What could I possibly have done? I didn't do anything except run a few steps."

Gu Feng found it strange that Chen Mo thought there was something wrong with him.

"Do you still remember the knowledge points you memorized last night?"

"What knowledge points?" Gu Feng scratched his head, his eyes full of confusion.

"Sigh, I knew it." Chen Mo shook his head and patted Gu Feng on the shoulder.

"Keep going, I hope you won't be left here alone."

"Key points..." Gu Feng suddenly realized that he had forgotten all the key points he had memorized last night!

"We're doomed..."

"Keep it up." Yang Zuo patted Gu Feng on the shoulder and followed behind Chen Mo, intending to comprehend the divine power of heaven and man.

"Don't embarrass the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy."

Ma Wanglin, carrying the unconscious He Miao on her back, nodded to Gu Feng.

"..." Gu Feng's face was blank. The assessment will officially begin at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

It's 7 PM now, which means he has 14 hours left...

"Damn it, I'll give it my all!"

If Chen Mo and the others pass the assessment, leaving him alone at the Mountain City Martial Academy, he'll lose face big time.

...

As night fell, Chen Mo, who had fully recovered, got out of bed.

After glancing at Gu Feng, who was reviewing his notes, and then at Yang Zuo, who was comprehending the divine power of heaven and man, Chen Mo got up and left the dormitory.

Qiu Wushuang had previously mentioned that taking a bath with energy liquid might energize the steel marrow, and Chen Mo planned to give it a try.

We're about to return to the Grandmaster Academy, so let's test this method beforehand to see if it works.

If it really works, then he can have Dean Xue apply Grandmaster-level pressure while taking a bath in energy liquid, thus tempering his marrow.

"Where are you going, you little brat?"

As soon as Chen Mo stepped out of the dormitory building, he ran into three grandmasters: Geng Lianhu, Qiu Wushuang, and Shi Jinshi.

"I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk."

Chen Mo smiled. He couldn't very well say that he had so much energy liquid that he could take a bath with it, could he?
