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

"You didn't ask, and I only saw it once; it's long been sealed away in the depths of my memory."

He Miao shrank her neck; that was the downside of her unique memory partitioning method.

A reminder is needed to find that memory in the partition; otherwise, it cannot be recalled.

This is also one of the ways He Miao protects her brain.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, we were just asking."

Seeing that He Miao felt somewhat guilty, Gu Feng quickly offered a few words of comfort.

"Speaking of which, didn't we tell you to be prepared for energy poisoning? The energy concentration here isn't that high, is it?"

Ma Wanglin sensed the abyssal energy around her; it was indeed uncomfortable, but not enough to cause poisoning.

"I don't know, it might be much better after cleaning."

Gu Feng shook his head. He knew nothing about the situation below, let alone completely.

"No, Chen Mo is absorbing a large amount of abyssal energy, which has caused the energy concentration around the camp to drop significantly."

He Miao shook her head; the drone that was following Chen Mo had already seen what Chen Mo was doing.

"..."

Gu Feng and Ma Wanglin looked at He Miao speechlessly. Had this little girl gone crazy from learning to cook lately?

Does she really consider herself a full-time cook?

After being cushioned by the shaft wall, Gu Feng and his two companions followed the main group into the underground cave.

As an ordinary person, He Miao needs to wear a full-coverage helmet the entire time here, otherwise the dense abyssal energy will kill her.

Gu Feng and Ma Wanglin didn't react as strongly.

First, they had already experienced the energy density of the deep abyss, so the energy density here was nothing special.

Secondly, they possess the gift of the Feathered Serpent King, giving them an extremely high tolerance for abyssal energy.

It can be said that they are more adapted to the environment of the abyss than ordinary martial artists.

"Oooooo ...

As soon as they landed, Gu Feng and the other two heard a roar coming from not far away.

Turning his head, he saw Zhao Lianqi, his forehead bulging with veins, using all his strength to suppress Chen Mo with his aura.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, was absorbing the energy rapidly with a look of pure enjoyment... no, it would be more accurate to describe Chen Mo's energy absorption speed as "swallowing it whole."

This scene looked incredibly bizarre, enough to make even a grandmaster's head throb with energy...

"Are they... perhaps tempering their internal organs?"

Gu Feng swallowed hard. If Chen Mo broke through to level eight, he would really become the little brother.

Although it is still like this now...

"Judging from this, he's progressing too fast..."

The moment Ma Wanglin saw this scene, the pressure hit her off the charts; the gap between her and Chen Mo was widening.

In the end, it may even create a chasm that is difficult to cross.

"Gu Feng, Xiao Ma, you two join the camp construction. He Miao, you go with the reconnaissance battalion to scan the structure inside the cave."

Kong Dexian wouldn't let Gu Feng and the others relax just because they were young.

The command of this operation is under the jurisdiction of the military. Even if the people from the Military Intelligence Bureau come, they have to obey.

"Understood!"

Gu Feng and Ma Wanglin immediately began constructing the camp, while He Miao, under the protection of a group of fourth-class martial artists, ventured deeper into the camp to conduct an exploration.

The reconnaissance battalion is the most elite force in the entire military, and each member is capable of taking on four or more martial artists of the same level.

With eighteen top-tier martial artists and He Miao's massive humanoid drone server, it won't be long before they can map out the entire cave's detailed topography.

The moment the detailed topographic map comes out, the underground encirclement begins to shrink.

Chen Mo was unaware of the changes in the outside world; he was currently trying to temper his muscles and internal organs simultaneously.

The tempering of muscles is a simple process of grinding and polishing, while the tempering of the internal organs is far more complex.

Fortunately, Chen Mo's mental strength was enough to allow him to multitask, since he didn't need to use his brain much to temper his muscles anyway.

The progress is a bit slow, after all, it's a two-pronged approach.

"By the way, Master Zhao, I have a question."

Chen Mo opened his eyes and allowed his qi and blood to continue circulating according to the previously set route.

"Speak!!" Zhao Lianqi's eyes widened. He had been releasing his pressure for 24 hours straight, but the kid was still perfectly fine.

"I'm almost halfway through the tempering of my five internal organs. When would be a good time to start nourishing my blood within them?"

Chen Mo had some knowledge of this, but it was still a good idea to listen to the master's advice.

"You should know that the tempering of the five internal organs takes place almost simultaneously, right?"

Zhao Lianqi released his aura while answering Chen Mo's question.

"However, the kidneys are the first of the five internal organs to complete the tempering process, followed by the lungs, spleen, liver, and heart."

"These five organs correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The heart is fire, the lungs are metal, the spleen is earth, the liver is wood, and the kidneys are water."

"The initial blood of the heart evolved from kidney water. After absorbing lung metal, spleen earth and liver wood, it was finally refined into blood of the heart by heart fire."

"Once this drop of blood is formed, it will lay the foundation for your future advancement to the fourth rank."

"Therefore, I suggest that the blood-nourishing process of the five internal organs should be carried out after the tempering of the five internal organs is completed, so that the blood-nourishing blood generated in this way will be more powerful."

Zhao Lianqi's explanation was quite detailed and thorough. After listening to it, Chen Mo found that some details were even more detailed than those given by the professors at the Mountain City Martial Arts Academy.

Is this the difference between theory and practice?

"I understand, let's continue."

Since that's the case, Chen Mo isn't in a hurry anymore, since it will still take him some time before his five internal organs are fully tempered.

A masterpiece...

Opening the system panel, Chen Mo glanced at the 'Perfect Five Organs Progress 1%' worth of gold coins and hesitated for a moment.

It seems that the perfect bloodline and the energy transformation of steel marrow are based on the same principle, both being further advancements under the premise of perfect internal organs.

Compared to the completely unpredictable Steel Marrow Energy Transformation, Perfect Heart's Blood seems to have some clues to follow.

The perfect blood and energy nourished by the five perfectly balanced internal organs must be the perfect blood and energy...

It should be?

......

At this moment, deep within the cave, Archbishop Sizhi of the Northwest Diocese was grinning as he observed the military camp.

"Hmph hmph hmph hmph hmph..."

"Foolish! They actually tracked us to the land where the gods descended. They're not going to leave here alive."

At this moment, Si Zhi did not have any human form at all; he was now a pure, smooth sphere.

A human face was projected onto the fist-sized sphere; this was Si Zhi's true form.

His physical size was extremely small, and he did not release any energy fluctuations whatsoever.

Even if Geng Lianhu came here in person, he might not be able to find Si Zhi.

A series of violent mental energy fluctuations erupted, causing most of the cavern to tremble slightly.

One after another, the cult warriors emerged from the shadows, and Si Zhi stuffed the energy clusters formed by the fusion of blood and spirit into their bodies.

"Go, and after the energy has completely merged, give them some 'pleasant' memories."

"This power will strengthen your will and greatly increase your strength."

"Do not fear death, for your souls will return to the embrace of the Abyss God and become the first inhabitants of the new world!"

"Go forth, my fearless warriors!"

Si Zhi smiled rather morbidly. The moment that energy entered his body, these cult warriors became puppets under his control.

Even if their physical bodies die, he can still control them to fight.

The Abyss Cult truly lives up to its name as an evil cult, not only controlling the minds of its followers but also their bodies.
