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

The door to the command center was pushed open, and Zhu Long led Chen Mo in.

"Dean Xue, Dean Geng, look who's back!"

The immense pressure caused Chen Mo to instinctively begin circulating his qi and blood to temper his internal organs and muscles.

"You've had a lot going on during the Chinese New Year period, haven't you?"

Geng Lianhu's eyes lit up; with this kid back, everything would be much easier.

"So, did you manage to kill those beasts from the Abyss Cult?"

"Most of them are dead, but I don't know the current situation in the Southern Parish."

Chen Mo nodded, then glanced at the dozen or so grandmasters he had never seen before.

"Dean Geng, what exactly happened?"

"This is a long story, let me tell you about it."

Geng Lianhu patted Chen Mo on the shoulder and led him to stand next to the sand table.

"This all started with losing contact with the former dean..."

Decades ago, when there were far fewer Grandmasters among the human race than there are now, a riot once occurred in the depths of Kunlun Mountain.

That riot directly led to the destruction of two countries and the deaths of tens of millions of people within the Great Xia territory.

Hundreds of grandmasters from the abyss, along with more than a dozen powerful warriors at the Human Martial Realm, emerged simultaneously, leaving the human race utterly powerless to resist.

Not only top-tier combat power, but also the upper fourth tier with a million-level strength, the middle fourth tier, and the lower fourth tier with a ten million-level strength.

Fortunately, the Celestial Race came to the rescue, and with the old dean personally taking action, the battle was contained to a small area of ​​the Great Xia.

Of course, the biggest battlefield was the two unfortunate neighboring countries, which were turned into wastelands after that battle.

After this battle, the upper echelons of the Great Xia Dynasty completely changed their development strategy, shifting from a 50/50 split between researching abyss technology and cultivating martial artists to focusing all their efforts on cultivating martial artists.

It was this decision that led to the rise of the Great Xia, now the world's leading martial arts power.

This also ensured that there were no more riots in the abyss within the Great Xia territory, except for the occasional beast tide.

Just how strong is someone at the Heavenly Martial Realm?

Chen Mo was genuinely curious about just how strong the old dean was, capable of suppressing hundreds of grandmasters and more than a dozen martial arts realm experts.

Or perhaps something terrifying happened that caused them to lose contact.

"How would I know? I was very young back then."

Geng Lianhu rolled his eyes at Chen Mo, who was still a young man in his seventies at the time.

"All I know is that when the old dean made his move, the hundreds of grandmasters and more than a dozen martial arts experts immediately cowered."

"After that, the old dean personally went into the deep abyss, crossed the Path of No Return, and entered the End Sea of ​​the Middle Abyss."

"Fine, you'll find out some things sooner or later..."

Geng Lianhu paused, sighed, and continued.

"In fact, neither the deep abyss nor the shallow abyss is the core of the abyss. The core of the abyss is actually the middle abyss."

"After entering the middle level of the abyss, the old dean explored the area and sent the message back."

Geng Lianhu drew a concentric circle on the sand table next to him and pointed to the outer layer of the circle.

"To give an analogy, this is our Earth, and the outer layer is the ground, which is where we live."

Next, Geng Lianhu made a small opening in the outer layer.

"The surface is a shallow abyss, and the Earth's core is a medium-depth abyss."

"The deep abyss is the layer between the intermediate abyss and the shallow abyss."

"The Abyss is an independent world with a very chaotic gravitational relationship, which has led to huge errors in our judgment of the Abyss."

"In reality, the abyss is not layered upon layered, but has the same structure as Earth."

"The deep and shallow abysses are merely the outer shell of this planet; the middle abyss is the core of the entire planet."

"It is also the core of the entire abyss."

Chen Mo's brain was working at lightning speed, quickly understanding and processing the explosive amount of information.

"So, those who enter the 'path of no return' and can't come back are actually due to gravity?"

"That's not all, but the old dean didn't specify the details."

Geng Lianhu shook his head.

"In fact, once you reach the Human Martial Realm, you can break free from the constraints of gravity and go outside the atmosphere, but you can't survive for long."

"Earth-type martial arts can stay in the vacuum of space for more than a year, while Heaven-type martial arts can survive for a long time."

"So it seems that gravity is not the main reason why we cannot escape the middle abyss."

"The old dean hasn't sent back any news for a long time, and recently there were some terrifying fluctuations coming from the deep abyss."

"Given the fact that Black Cloud City, Earth Tiger City, and Silver Wolf City are all causing trouble together, we suspect that the old dean in charge of suppressing the Sea of ​​Ending has run into trouble."

Geng Lianhu sighed. Although he didn't want to believe that something had happened to the old dean, the facts were right in front of him, and there was nothing he could do about it.

What is the Sea of ​​the End?

Chen Mo thought for a moment and then asked his question.

"I don't know." Geng Lianhu shook his head.

"This name was passed down from the old dean."

"Why did the old dean..."

"Because he has to suppress the Ten Kings of the Abyss." Commander Hong raised his head. When did this old man Geng become so long-winded?

"The Ten Kings of the Abyss are ten Abyss warriors at the Heavenly Martial Realm. They actually control everything in the shallow, middle, and deep abysses."

"This alliance of the three cities was most likely orchestrated by the Ten Kings of the Abyss to test the current strength of the human race."

"The current situation is very unfavorable for us, unless we can stop the Three Cities Alliance from continuing its advance in the Silver Wolf Mountains."

Commander Hong shoved Geng Lianhu aside. This time, Geng Lianhu wasn't angry. Instead, he sighed and sat down beside him.

His mindset has indeed been greatly affected recently, and he seems somewhat absent-minded in everything he does.

"The closest city to the Silver Wolf Mountains is Black Cloud City, and they are responsible for supplying energy to the Silver Wolf Mountains' defensive fortifications."

"Those energies can power the Abyss Legacy, that is, the Abyss Technology."

"If we can cut off their energy supply, our twenty-seven grandmasters can then take action to restrain their grandmasters."

"Warriors below the Grandmaster level will then have the opportunity to capture their newly constructed fortifications and push the battle line forward significantly."

As they talked, all eyes turned to Chen Mo once again.

"..." Chen Mo roughly guessed what these beasts wanted him to do.

"You...you don't want me to cut off their energy, do you?"

"That's right, that's what we think." Commander Hong nodded and pointed to Geng Lianhu, who looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Geng Lianhu once said that you have a special ability to perfectly conceal your figure and aura."

"Even a grandmaster couldn't detect it?"

"Yes, there are, but don't you think it's a bit much to send a level seven martial artist like me?"

Chen Mo scratched his face. Stealing the base in front of sixty or so Grandmasters is no different from a 0/31/1 ADC stealing the base with Teleport.

There's another Darius at home who just killed four of your teammates and is in a state of bloodrage, he's practically feeding the enemy.

They just use a Noxian guillotine to cleave you in two from head to toe...

"So, it's not like I'm asking you to do this unconditionally."

Commander Hong knew that this was going too far, so he agreed to whatever Chen Mo asked.

"State your demands and conditions, and we won't let you work on an empty stomach."
