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

Surrey did not sit idly by and wait to die; he dodged several times in an attempt to avoid the fatal sword strike.

"No, there's no escaping it!"

With a determined look in his heart, Sully thrust his left shoulder forward, determined to rely on his well-trained bones to withstand the sword strike!

Skin strength is no match for this kind of attack; only a more robust steel skeleton can withstand it!

After discarding her left arm, Sully's blood and energy immediately began to circulate at high speed.

His right fist transformed into a blazing meteor, striking Joseph's face directly!

With a deafening roar, the surrounding dust was stirred up by the fluctuations of their qi and blood, obscuring the two people on the arena.

"it's over."

After sensing the fluctuations of qi and blood on the arena, Chen Mo already knew who the winner of this match was.

As the dust settled, Surrey's fist was only half a finger's distance from Joseph's face, but it couldn't get any closer.

"You are very strong, I respect you."

Joseph pulled the greatsword from Surrey's body and nodded at him.

"Thank you..."

Surrey smiled, then collapsed to the ground.

He overestimated the strength of his steel bones. If Joseph hadn't held back at the last moment, he would have been split in two by now.

"We still lost..."

In the audience, Surrey's wife covered the eyes of her two children; she couldn't let them see their father in such a disheveled state.

Amid cheers from the audience, Joseph stood once again on the edge of the ring, awaiting the next challenger.

Surrey was carried off the ring and taken to the infirmary for treatment.

They still have a few individual matches to go, after all, they need to compete for the top three spots in the bottom sixteen.

"Do you understand now?"

Geng Lianhu pointed at the still-dissipating golden blood energy and turned to look at Chen Mo and Gu Feng.

"Similar to Dean Xue's pseudo-Qi and Blood Release?"

Chen Mo frowned. He had seen the general outline, but he didn't quite understand what was going on.

"It's different, and I didn't expect you to understand it anyway."

Geng Lianhu shook his head and said.

"That's a technique that combines qi and blood with weapons, a closely guarded secret of the Lionheart family."

"You mean we also have techniques that combine qi and blood with weapons, right?"

Seeing Gu Feng's expression, Geng Lianhu immediately guessed what he was thinking.

"The Lionheart family's technique is very unique, and they say that only those with the Lionheart bloodline can learn it."

"But anyone with eyes can see that this is just a tactic; all the talk about bloodlines is just an excuse for them to hide their secrets."

"Dean Geng, have you figured out what happened?"

Chen Mo was somewhat looking forward to whether he could defeat Joseph using his techniques.

It's interesting to think about.

"No, I still don't understand it."

Geng Lianhu shook his head. The Lionheart family's technique was extremely powerful, and he had seen far too little of it.

If the power of a normal weapon combined with one's vital energy is 1, then the Lionheart family's techniques can make the power reach 2.5.

That's what makes this technique truly terrifying.

"Then you..." Gu Feng stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering that they seemed to be quite familiar with Joseph.

"Do you understand what I mean now?"

Geng Lianhu chuckled wickedly. Ever since he learned that Joseph, that silly boy, was somewhat familiar with Chen Mo and the others, he had started to set his sights on the Lionheart family.

"Does Dean Geng mean... to find a way to lure Joseph to the Grandmaster Academy?"

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, seemingly understanding Geng Lianhu's thoughts.

"Pfft!" Geng Lianhu spat out a mouthful of juice, staring at Chen Mo in disbelief.

"You little rascal... your methods are even wilder than mine."

"I just wanted you to try asking how this technique works, not for you to kidnap me."

"That old man from the Lionheart family is even more ruthless than me. If we mess with him, the only option is for the old dean to beat him up."

"Sigh! Speaking of which, that old man even had a discussion with the former dean back then."

"You have no idea, that old bastard was rubbed in the Sea of ​​Ending for half an hour by the old dean..."

Geng Lianhu paused for a moment, then coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly.

"Don't tell anyone about this, especially about the Sea of ​​Ends."

"Don't ask! You already know everything that's rightfully yours to know. You're not qualified to know this yet."

Geng Lianhu realized he had misspoke and turned to look at Lu Youwei.

"..." Lu Youwei didn't say anything, but got up and walked towards the bathroom.

"It's over..." A hint of fear flashed across Geng Lianhu's face as he muttered something under his breath.

Chen Mo and Gu Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise on each other's faces.

Just how strong is the old dean, who can even frighten a lawless madman like Geng Lianhu?

"Shut up, don't ask questions, don't say anything."

With a ferocious expression, Geng Lianhu grabbed Chen Mo and Gu Feng's heads, giving them a vicious warning.

"I'll give each of you 500 credits later, and we'll pretend we don't know anything about this."

"Do you understand?"

"Okay, no problem."

Chen Mo and Gu Feng readily accepted the bribe of 500 academic credits.

As for what Lu Youwei will do, that's none of their business.

...

The Siamese team conceded defeat immediately after losing in Surrey.

Surrey is the strongest member of the team, so there's no point in continuing if he loses.

Although the morning's match was short, it was a thrilling experience for the audience.

Both fighters employed a fierce and aggressive fighting style, giving everyone a thrill.

One match remains after the Sunset Empire and Siam games: New America vs. New Delin.

Today's matches will continue until 10 p.m., and Chen Mo and his team will not be able to play until the quarterfinals.

"This is so boring..."

Chen Mo watched the fierce battle between New America and New Delin on the stage, grabbed a handful of French fries and stuffed them into his mouth.

Chen Mo found these people's battles quite boring, and the two on the stage were the weakest in their teams.

Those who exude an aura of strength are all sitting on the sidelines; they've already laid out their tactics.

If the Great Xia is a T0-level boss, then the New America and the Sunset Empire are T1-level countries.

Countries in Asia are considered T2 tier, as are a few in Europe; the rest are relegated to the bottom tier.

Even those countries with poor infrastructure have their own strategies and are all striving for a good ranking.

The only team in the entire World Youth Championship that seemed to lack any tactics was the Great Xia national team...
