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

"Who gave you permission to call me by that name?"

Chu Tianliao slowly turned his head to look at Lawrence, and a terrifying pressure instantly erupted.

Lawrence's face turned pale instantly, and he sank deeply into the sofa.

That's right, this person is Chu Tianhua's younger brother, Chu Tianliao.

Unlike his brother, who possessed both spiritual power and extraordinary talent, Chu Tianliao was merely an ordinary person compared to Chu Tianhua.

But he was not content with this, which led him to choose a path completely opposite to that of Chu Tianhua.

Specializing in the study of Qi and Blood.

However, his research methods were somewhat cruel, or rather, inhumane.

In Chu Tianliao's view, to make perfect use of Qi and blood, a large number of human experiments must be conducted, but the Great Xia Dynasty does not allow such large-scale human experiments.

Complete prohibition is impossible, but Chu Tianliao's extremely cruel experiments are completely prohibited.

It was for this reason that Chu Tianliao chose to leave Great Xia and go to the more "free" New America.

He did it not for any other reason than to prove that he was better than his brother.

As for why Chu Tianhua never mentioned his younger brother, it was naturally because, in Chu Tianhua's eyes, Chu Tianliao was a disgrace.

A traitor who abandoned his country, family, and friends.

These two people have very similar personalities; they are both extremely awkward.

In modern terms, that would be described as arrogant and tsundere.

Hmm, two arrogant old men~

Chu Tianliao did not actually intend to betray Great Xia; his plan was to return with the data after completing his experiment.

But he never imagined that the problem of the heavy armor's energy source that had troubled him for so long had been solved.

The solution is quite simple: take the energy battery from Black Cloud City.

"Get some rest. Avoid contact with those representatives from Great Xia for the next few days."

"Don't alert the enemy; you must make a stunning debut!"

"..." The ten young men from New America, each with a different appearance, remained silent. Two of them had already fainted from the pressure of Chu Tianliao's aura.

As a level 13 Grandmaster, Chu Tianliao's strength is also extremely formidable.

"Brother, I will prove my theory is correct; I just lack some real-world experience..."

Chu Tianliao got up and left the villa, returning to his room. Only then did the young men from New America dare to breathe heavily.

"hey-hey..."

Lawrence gave a gloomy laugh, then got up and returned to his residence.

The remaining few stared at each other for a while, and then went back to rest.

They didn't know much about Chu Tianliao, only that the higher-ups at New America attached great importance to this little old man.

They'll grant almost any request, even the most cruel human experiments...

Therefore, provoking him is the most unwise choice.

......

The next morning, after enjoying a delicious breakfast, Chen Mo and the others gathered on the beach.

"How so?"

The five of them lay neatly on the beach chairs, enjoying this moment of tranquility.

"Lying here like this isn't very interesting. How about we do something more exciting?"

Gu Feng looked up and grinned at He Miao and Ma Wanglin, who were wearing swimsuits.

"What are you going to do?"

Ma Wanglin frowned. Was this kid not funny?

I always feel like I'm harboring some bad intentions.

"Look, we've finally come to a vast ocean without any sea creatures. Wouldn't it be a shame not to go for a swim?"

"I've never seen the sea except in the South Island, and neither have you, Sister Ma, and Yang Zuo."

"Chen Mo... his place is quite far from the sea, so he doesn't have many opportunities to see the sea."

"How about this, we have a swimming race, and whoever reaches the island on the other side first wins?"

After a suffocating silence, everyone went about their own business.

"Do you think this kind of competition has any meaning?"

Chen Mo glanced at Gu Feng, who looked somewhat disappointed, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"As a martial artist, even if you're just playing around, you need sufficient physical strength. I think volleyball would be a good option."

He Miao, who was building a sandcastle with a beach volleyball, paused for a moment, then turned to look at Chen Mo.

"Besides, nobody wants to play something without a prize, so why not add a prize?"

"We'll form teams with our palms facing each other and our backs to each other. He Miao will be the referee. The losing team will have to grant one request to the other team."

"The kind where you can't take it back."

"I'm not playing." Yang Zuo shook his head; he was comprehending the divine power of heaven and man under the brilliant sunlight.

After advancing to the eighth level of martial artist last night, his understanding of the Celestial Divine Power has deepened, and the maximum number of his external avatars has now reached sixteen.

But this is not his limit; he just hasn't reached it yet.

"Do you think we can't guess what you two are thinking?"

"Who would be stupid enough to play this kind of game with you?"

Ma Wanglin raised an eyebrow and led He Miao to the nearby beach bar.

"You can't do this either." Gu Feng chuckled, looking rather cheeky.

"If no one's playing, it's fine, it'll be good to lie down for a while."

Chen Mo didn't care; he just wanted to liven things up. He really didn't know what Ma Wanglin meant by "what are you thinking?"

"You two handsome young men, we are quite interested in the game you're talking about."

"Want to play with us for a bit?"

Just as the two were about to give up and lay down, two hot, Persian-cat-like women appeared in front of Chen Mo and Gu Feng.

"Who the hell are you? Don't block my sunlight."

Gu Feng frowned slightly, somewhat annoyed. He reserved his good temper for Chen Mo and the others.

In front of other strangers, Gu Feng is still the arrogant young master of the Gu family.

"You two want to play?" Chen Mo sat up and used his qi to grab a volleyball from the side.

The two foreign women's eyes lit up at the sight, as the ability to project one's qi and blood was a special ability possessed only by martial artists of the fourth rank.

Could it be that this child has already reached the strength of a fourth-level martial artist at such a young age?

"Of course, if we both lose, I can grant you one 'outrageous' request~"

That foreign woman's voice was incredibly alluring; it made your bones melt.

"Okay, let's do it then."

Chen Mo smiled and winked at Gu Feng.
