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

The moment Joseph unleashed his long-awaited Lionheart Slash, a crimson orbital laser suddenly appeared in the sky!

"Holy shit! Holy shit! This is a space-based weapon!"

The commentators were dumbfounded. This was just an exchange competition between countries, so why were they bringing up space-based weapons?

It's still the Death Eye, whose single-target power is among the top!

Joseph had already unleashed his sword strike, leaving him no room to maneuver. He could only focus all his energy on circulating his qi and blood to envelop his body.

The crimson orbital laser struck the gleaming gold Joseph with pinpoint accuracy, even turning the supergravity metal arena into molten iron under its beam.

"Hahahahaha!"

Lawrence burst into laughter. If he won this victory, his status in the family would be greatly enhanced.

Perhaps then I'll have the qualifications to compete for the next head of the family!

"Joseph!"

Garcia's blood surged instantly, and he wanted to rush onto the ring and pull Joseph out of the laser beam.

"No need!"

Joseph, who was originally unable to stand up due to the laser beam, roared and thrust the Lionheart Sword into the arena. He then slowly straightened up despite the laser beam.

"Lionheart... Fierce Slash!"

A golden sword beam shot into the sky, instantly shattering the blood barrier in front of Lawrence.

The sword's momentum did not diminish; after severing Lawrence's two chainsaw swords, it also tore apart the outer armor of the Qi Blood Armor.

"We underestimated our opponent..."

Joseph could no longer open his eyes, and his body could no longer support him to continue fighting.

Although the Lionheart Armor could protect him from external harm, the high temperature from the laser was already cooking his internal organs.

Even though the Lionheart Armor insulates most of the heat, the internal temperature can still reach over a thousand degrees.

Joseph not turning into a charred corpse was already a testament to the fact that he had tempered his internal organs...

With a thud, Joseph finally lost his footing and collapsed into the molten iron formed by the supergravity of the metal.

"..."

The entire room fell silent; no one knew what to say.

Lawrence won, that's for sure. His methods were also approved by the tournament committee, so there's nothing wrong with them.

But... why do I dislike him so much?

"The entire Sunset Empire team surrenders! Quickly, go save Joseph!"

At this point, Garcia didn't care about winning or losing; rescuing Joseph was the most important thing.

Garcia nearly fainted when he saw the horrific state of Joseph after removing the almost undamaged Lionheart Armor.

Joseph was no longer the handsome, sunny young man he once was. His entire body was covered in burns, and Garcia had several blisters on his hands when he took off the Lionheart Armor.

This shows just how high the temperature was inside the Lionheart Armor at that time!

"The skin was completely burned, the internal organs were completely burned, and the brain... was also burned."

The spiritualist of the Sunset Empire examined Joseph's physical condition, and the more he examined him, the more serious his expression became.

To say the brain was burned is an understatement; in reality, the spinal fluid had boiled over. Joseph's brain was practically as good as roasted pig brains.

If Joseph hadn't been an eighth-level martial artist, he would have died on the spot!

Even for an eighth-level martial artist, it would be almost impossible to save someone from such a grievous injury.

The only possibility is to find the most powerful, authoritative, and knowledgeable mentalist on this planet.

That is, Chu Tianhua.

Only Chu Tianhua has the potential to cure Joseph; the other mentalists can at most keep him alive.

"Let's give him a hand."

Chen Mo sighed and took out the sealed bottle that Shi Jinshi had given him.

Help! Help! If we don't need this, where else would we use it?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Mo walked to Joseph's side and opened the sealed bottle.

"You..." Garcia sensed the presence inside the sealed bottle the moment it was opened.

"This is... the essence of a Grandmaster?"

"Is it really possible?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. Joseph and I are friends, after all."

Chen Mo took out a drop of Grandmaster Essence and sprinkled it on Joseph's body. His burns were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"The Grandmaster's Origin has little effect on the injuries to his internal organs and brain. Now take him to Great Xia, and I will help you contact Dean Chu Tianhua."

"Why?" Garcia was puzzled as to why Chen Mo would pay such a high price to save Joseph.

"We're friends, isn't that enough?"

Chen Mo raised his head and looked at Lawrence, who had just taken off his Qi Blood Armor, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent.

Joseph was not a bad person; in fact, one could say he was quite upright and even naive.

You can be 100% at ease having someone like that as a friend, especially Joseph.

And now, the upright and simple Joseph lies half-dead on the ground, while the beast who used despicable means is celebrating his victory.

All of this made Chen Mo extremely angry.

...

The semifinals have ended, and the Daxia team and the New America team have advanced to the finals.

"Chen Mo..."

Ma Wanglin walked to Chen Mo's side, looking at Chen Mo's extremely gloomy face, and didn't know what to say.

They were very close to Joseph, and were extremely angry at him for his behavior.

"It's alright, I'll make Lawrence pay."

Chen Mo clenched his fist; he hadn't wanted the World Youth Championship to become so bloody...

"I'll show you that when you have an overwhelming numerical advantage, your underhanded tactics are nothing to fear."

...

At 2 p.m. sharp, the audience had already recovered from the afterglow of the battle between Joseph and Lawrence.

Everyone was looking forward to the final in the afternoon, but not so much to how exciting the battle would be.

Instead, they were hoping that the Great Xia team could tear the New America team apart.

After several hours of adjustment, Lawrence's health armor was restored to its peak condition.

He stood on one side of the ring, waiting for Chen Mo to enter the arena.

Below the stage, Chen Mo, holding the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd, took off his shoes and shirt and slowly walked onto the arena.

"Chen Mo..."

Gu Feng wanted to remind Chen Mo not to be careless, but he froze when he got within three meters of Chen Mo.

He could sense...anger and extreme killing intent.
