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

"I'm gone."

Chen Mo wasn't interested in Chu Tianliao's personal relationship; he was eager to go home for the New Year.

Chu Tianliao nodded and followed behind Chen Mo.

Many people noticed that Chu Tianliao seemed to be leaving with Chen Mo, but neither of them said anything.

That's their own business in Great Xia; outsiders like us have no right to say anything.

I didn't dare say anything...

"Chen Mo, all the informants below level four have been cleared out. Now there are two level nine and one level ten left."

"Yang Zuo and I haven't alerted them yet, but we estimate we'll be exposed soon."

Gu Feng's voice came through the earpiece. He and Yang Zuo were currently on standby in the equipment room on the 209th floor.

"I understand. Let Ma Wanglin and He Miao take over Chu Tianliao. I'll handle those three guys."

Chen Mo frowned, and after sensing those powerful auras, he spoke.

He wasn't sure yet whether he or a level 10 martial artist was stronger, but dealing with two level 9 martial artists would be quite easy.

"Will it be alright to leave it to those two?"

Gu Feng was somewhat unsure of Chen Mo's judgment; Ma Wanglin also had He Miao, who had no combat ability, with her...

"Don't worry, Ma Wanglin's combat strength is not bad, not to mention that she can now transform into a feathered serpent."

"And he has also broken through to the Steel Marrow Realm."

Ma Wanglin's voice suddenly rang out, and Gu Feng and Chen Mo then remembered that she was also on the channel.

"Now that you've heard my plan, come and take Chu Tianliao away."

Chen Mo showed no embarrassment whatsoever about being the one doing the dirty work behind the scenes, and immediately told Ma Wanglin the specific assignments.

"Be careful of your own safety and He Miao's safety. As long as Chu Tianliao isn't completely dead, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Is this really the right way to treat our mission objectives?"

Chu Tianliao's face was grim; Chen Mo had arranged this plan right in front of him.

So he heard everything that just happened...

"Don't you have any confidence in Dean Chu's mental health medical techniques?"

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and nodded to Ma Wanglin, who was rushing towards him.

"Go with her, she'll protect you."

"In a moment, you will retreat along the normal evacuation route. Remember to rejoin Gu Feng and Yang Zuo; this will further ensure your safety."

As Chen Mo spoke, he took out the Phoenix Beak Dragon Tooth Halberd from his storage space.

"Chen Mo, what are you doing!?"

Seeing this, Ma Wanglin's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly grabbed Chen Mo's wrist.

"Don't worry, you all know how fast I am. I'll draw their attention, and you take Chu Tianliao and retreat."

Chen Mo patted Ma Wanglin on the shoulder to reassure her.

"We'll meet at the docks in Rosalia, trust me."

Chen Mo did this with ulterior motives.

He hadn't stacked steel in a long time, and the cycle of despair hadn't had any fresh prey in a long time either.

Chen Mo happened to run into a level 10 martial artist, and he felt a bit itchy to fight.

"Don't waste any more time, take him and get out of here immediately. Don't you know my strength?"

"Okay, I understand." Ma Wanglin nodded vigorously, grabbed Chu Tianliao's wrist, and began to evacuate according to the planned evacuation route.

"In the end, we still need to make a big fuss..."

Chen Mo twisted his neck and instantly activated Perfect Steel Skin, Perfect Steel Blood, and Boiling Mode.

Everything around me slowed down, and a tingling sensation spread throughout my body.

The two level-nine martial artists from New America were in charge of the elevator lobby, and they were constantly on guard against everything around them.

As mentioned above, Chu Tianliao has been considering leaving New America, and this World Youth Championship is his best opportunity.

In order to keep an eye on Chu Tianliao, New America dispatched six Grandmaster-level experts, as well as fourth-class martial artists who followed them.

A gentle breeze swept by, and one of the level nine martial artists vanished from the spot.

"who!?"

The other level nine martial artist's blood and qi surged instantly, his eyes fixed on every rustle of wind and movement around him.

But after his partner disappeared, the surroundings returned to a strange calm, and he didn't even notice any fluctuations in his blood energy.

"What exactly happened?"

Just then, an incredibly terrifying surge of energy erupted, engulfing the entire Gran Island.

"This is... a Grandmaster!?"

The level nine martial artist was sweating profusely. The prediction above was indeed accurate. It was estimated that the Grandmaster of Great Xia had already faced off against his own family's Grandmaster.

"No, the Great Xia wouldn't allow the military to intervene so openly. So how do they plan to take Chu Tianliao away!?"

His mind raced; he no longer cared about his missing partner.

"Could it be... the Great Xia team!?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right." A hand covered in black chitinous carapace grabbed his shoulder, and a ferocious figure appeared behind him.

"Chen Mo!"

The ninth-level martial artist's pupils contracted, and without any hesitation, he launched an attack from behind.

He wouldn't underestimate Chen Mo just because Chen Mo's martial arts level wasn't as high as his.

This is a monster that can withstand the Death Eye with its bare body. Even if the level difference is huge, he may not be a match for it!

"Don't shout. There's a banquet going on inside. It wouldn't be good to disturb them."

Chen Mo's figure was like a ghost. His nerve reflexes were so fast that he appeared as an invisible black shadow to a normal person.

"Rison!"

At one point, the level nine martial artist seemed to see his partner.

All that remained was a head and a spine dragging on the ground...

"You monster!"

Fear and anger instantly filled his mind, and the electronic vibrating knife was instantly drawn, slashing towards the path Chen Mo was about to take.

"I told you, don't be so loud."

Chen Mo easily dodged the incredibly slow attack and appeared in front of him in a flash.

"Forehead......"

The level nine martial artist froze on the spot, feeling his power rapidly draining away.

The electronic vibrating knife fell to the ground with a clatter, and he stared blankly at the pair of eerie green pupils in front of him.

Why...?

Pfft!

A corpse with a large hole in its chest lay on the ground, while Chen Mo held a spine with bits of flesh hanging from it.

"It's definitely different; the overall level is vastly different."

Shaking his head, Chen Mo now directly felt the gap between geniuses and ordinary martial artists.

When Dai Emei was at level nine, his stats were at least three to five times stronger than this guy's.

Chen Mo originally thought that even the worst martial artists outside would have at least half the stats of Dai Emei, but he didn't expect them to be this bad.

The damage from Heart Steel combined with normal attacks alone is enough to kill them instantly, even after deducting their defense of up to 250,000.

【造成2736387点伤害（心之钢1861374+1125013完美钢血提升50%攻击力－250000点防御力）】

[HP permanently increased by 328366!]

This level nine martial artist only has 2.5 million life points. After Chen Mo's punch, he still owes Chen Mo more than 200,000.

Chen Mo always judged all martial artists by the standards of those freakish geniuses in the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy, which led him to always overexert himself.

Any senior brother or sister from the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy could easily become a pillar of the nation. Surrounded by such people, it's not surprising that Chen Mo would have such thoughts.

Or rather, the martial artists within the Great Xia Grandmaster Academy and those from the outside world are essentially two different species...
