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

The Grand Canyon Sky Ballroom is located on the top floor of the Grand Tower, which is at the very center of the entire Grand Canyon Island.

This place offers a panoramic view of the entire Gran Island and is one of the top ten tower-shaped buildings on Earth.

It stands 1,750 meters tall, thanks to the more advanced materials technology on Earth compared to the planet Blue.

"Now I understand why Dean Geng said this task was a bit difficult..."

Gu Feng held a drink in his hand, looking down at the scenery below.

"It took us almost three minutes just to get up here. If we get stopped on the way down, it will probably take a long time."

"The defenses in New America are quite strong; they will definitely come to our aid within three minutes."

In this setting, Gu Feng had the strongest presence among them, but Chen Mo remained the focus of the entire banquet.

"You guys plan out the retreat route first, I'll go and make contact with Chu Tianliao."

Chen Mo picked up a drink and walked towards the New America team where Chu Tianliao was.

"Stop eating. Aren't you ashamed? I'll treat you to all this kind of food later."

Gu Feng nodded, then turned around and kicked Yang Zuo, who was frantically showing off.

Yang Zuo was so hungry during those few days that he was terrified. Now, he looks like a starving ghost whenever he sees food.

I don't know how long it will take to recover from this problem.

"Wait a minute, this is the last bite."

Yang Zuo stuffed the last bite of spicy and sour grilled meat into his mouth, chewed it briefly, and swallowed it.

"Well, let He Miao do some reconnaissance first."

Gu Feng, Yang Zuo, and Ma Wanglin turned to look at He Miao, who was still covering her bottom. The little girl was startled by their gazes.

"Could I...could I change my clothes?"

He Miao's face flushed red. Her outfit was far too revealing; her right leg was almost entirely exposed, along with half of her right buttock...

It looked strange on her, like a primary school daughter sneaking into her mother's dress.

"Hang in there, the seaplane will be ready with short-sleeved suits after the mission is over."

Ma Wanglin, on the other hand, was quite at ease. She walked confidently to He Miao's side in her high heels and patted her head.

"..."

Ma Wanglin was already tall, and after putting on high heels, He Miao barely reached her chest.

"Is this a tablet computer?"

Gu Feng muttered something under his breath, which earned him a murderous glare from Ma Wanglin.

"Alright, alright, enough joking around. He Miao, is your drone ready?"

Gu Feng coughed lightly and looked away somewhat guiltily.

"These miniature drones don't have a long flight time, only about half an hour, so we only have one chance to conduct reconnaissance."

He Miao nodded and patted her small tablet.

"I will plan the evacuation route within the next half hour. The security for the New America will be your responsibility."

"Of course, once we've planned the route, we'll take care of the security."

Gu Feng glanced at Chen Mo, who had already walked to Chu Tianliao's side, and gave a thumbs up to the empty night sky.

...

In the night sky, Geng Lianhu, Lu Youwei, and Gu Ji stood on the void and turned to leave after seeing Gu Feng's signal.

"Remember to go easy on them later, don't break those little gadgets from New America."

Geng Lianhu has already identified the six Grandmasters from New America mentioned in the intelligence. Once Chen Mo and Chu Tianliao make contact, they can begin to restrain those guys.

"Understood, Elder Geng."

Gu Ji drew a long knife from his waist, while Lu Youwei drew his own longsword.

"Don't be so aggressive. We're going to stall them, not kill them."

Geng Lianhu rolled his eyes at the two of them, speechless, and then took out his Grandmaster-level weapon.

"..."

You old man, you still have the nerve to talk about the two of us? If you hit them with your hammer, those New America Grandmasters would be terrified...

"Also, keep a close eye on any activity inside the Grand Tower."

"Understood." Gu Ji and Lu Youwei nodded simultaneously.

Despite his inner complaints, he still had to listen to Geng Lianhu's words and his arrangements.

...

"Shall we get to know each other?"

Chen Mo walked past the members of the New America team and stood directly in front of Chu Tianliao.

"Of course, it's an honor."

Chu Tianliao smiled and gently touched the crystal glass in his hand to Chen Mo's.

Having lived abroad for so many years, Chu Tianliao's speech habits have still picked up some strange accents.

"I'm curious, how many abilities did you use when you killed Lawrence that day?"

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Chu Tianliao asked the question he had always wanted to ask, his eyes shining.

"What, you want me to tell you?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow. It's worth mentioning that the wheelchair-bound old man and Chu Tianliao are brothers; they both have an exceptionally strong sense of curiosity.

"Of course, but not here. We can discuss some things in detail when we get back."

Chu Tianliao's smile was unusually fake; you could tell he was forcing it.

Judging from his heartbeat and body rhythm, Chu Tianliao was extremely nervous.

"Don't worry, Dean Geng is here this time too."

Chen Mo patted Chu Tianliao on the shoulder and comforted him.

"No, I'm not worried about those grandmasters, I'm worried about you."

Chu Tianliao shook his head after hearing Chen Mo's words and pointed to the floor beneath his feet.

"There are three fourth-level martial artists, sixteen eighth-level martial artists, and thirty-three martial artists below seventh level and above fourth level."

"They are deployed on the floor below us, and all positions are heavily guarded."

"New America has never trusted me over the years, especially now that I've offered to lead the team, their suspicions have only intensified."

"Don't worry about the data, I've put it in a place no one would expect."

"The moment I return to Great Xia, I will personally hand over the data."

"Understood." Chen Mo finished his drink in one gulp and extended his right hand.

Chu Tianliao was stunned for a moment, then firmly grasped Chen Mo's hand.

"Take a rest. I'll let you know when it's time to go."

Chen Mo casually found a high stool and sat down, looking at Chu Tianliao with some curiosity.

"Aren't you a grandmaster?"

"Could it be that they can't even defeat a few top-tier fourth-level martial artists?"

"It's not just that I can't beat them. All my vital energy and blood were obtained through transplantation. It was a terrible choice I made in order to study vital energy and blood itself."

Chu Tianliao sighed and rubbed his temples in exasperation.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they don't let you do this research in China."

Chen Mo now understood why Chu Tianliao had run away; the mere fact that he had transplanted someone else's blood and qi was horrifying enough.

Judging from his tone, transplanting blood and qi from other people must be the most humane experiment or technique...

"I can actually understand why the higher-ups don't want me to conduct these experiments."

Chu Tianliao did not resent the decision made above; on the contrary, he gradually came to understand the thinking behind it during the experiment.

Some of the experiments were so cruel that even his assistant vomited into his mask multiple times.

Chu Tianliao knew he was a pervert, and he would try his best not to harm his own people if he could harm outsiders.

"You saw that set of Qi and Blood Armor too."

"Although it looks like a piece of paper in your hands, after various data tests, a regular Qi and Blood Armor can enable a martial artist to leap a level in strength."

"Of course, this only applies to levels below eight. Levels eight and above require special customization."

"We can talk about this when we get back. I want to know if my brother... Chu Tianhua, is he alright?"
