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

Hearing this frenzied roar, Chen Mo got goosebumps.

Damn, it's shipped!

[Congratulations, host, you have drawn the 'Darkin Blade Aatrox' template. Please select either the background story template or the in-game skill set.]

"Does this even need thinking about?"

Chen Mo's smile was so wide it almost tore his mouth apart, and he chose the background story template without hesitation.

A grotesque, lifelike giant sword appeared before Chen Mo, with a still-beating heart growing in its center.

The giant sword seemed to be saying something, and Chen Mo couldn't resist getting closer to listen carefully.

[Attention, host! Grasping this will activate the background story template, and the countdown will begin!]

Chen Mo, who had been bewitched by the giant sword, suddenly awoke and immediately withdrew his hand.

As Chen Mo tossed the greatsword into his storage space, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.

He was actually bewitched. Is this thing really that evil?

Chen Mo had known about the Sword Demon's backstory before, but thanks to some people's fan art, the Sword Demon's image gradually turned into a comedic figure...

It wasn't until that moment that Chen Mo remembered that this was a Darkborn who had lived for thousands of years!

Aatrox was an Ascended before becoming a Darkin, let alone after they were corrupted by the Void.

This thing... I wonder how powerful it would be in this world.

A being that surpasses demigods, with strength comparable to that of an Earth Warrior?

Chen Mo rubbed his chin, now he had an even bigger weapon besides the buff.

It's a shame that using this thing directly transforms you into the Darkin Blademaster from the lore, otherwise, wouldn't it be awesome to stack it with Heartsteel?

"That's enough. One should be content."

But his happiness was short-lived, and his mood soon plummeted again.

"I wonder how my sister is doing..."

......

Harbin Military Headquarters, Ice Abyss Garrison Area.

As soon as Chen Mo approached, he sensed several powerful auras confronting something.

Upon closer inspection, Lai Fu was standing outside the camp with Guan Xia and a few others, while several old men were watching them warily.

"Laifu, put him down."

Chen Mo shouted, and Lai Fu then put Guan Xia and the others on the ground.

"You are... Chen Mo?"

As a celebrity in the Great Xia Dynasty, Chen Mo's name is known to almost everyone.

Guan Zhenyuan naturally knew Chen Mo as well, since Chen Yi always boasted about how amazing his younger brother was.

"Who are you?"

Seeing that Guan Zhenyuan recognized him, Chen Mo also dropped his aggressive stance.

"I am Guan Zhenyuan, and your sister is one of my students."

Guan Zhenyuan stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Mo.

The students around were stunned. Of course they knew who Chen Mo was, but they couldn't understand why their principal would shake hands with him.

Does this make them seem like they're of the same generation?

"Was that shooting star that fell from the sky earlier you?"

Given the current situation, and with the sudden appearance of Chen Mo, Guan Zhenyuan immediately thought of the shooting star from earlier.

"Yeah, I just got back from Sky Island Zero, and I brought back a local specialty."

Chen Mo gave a brief explanation, then turned and waved to Lai Fu.

"Principal Guan, look what's wrong with my sister?"

As Lai Fu held the frozen Chen Yi in his arms, Guan Zhenyuan's expression instantly turned ugly.

"This is..."

Only then did he notice the injuries of Guan Xia and the others, and his mind went blank.

"Grandpa, we encountered some unexpected problems. If it weren't for Chen Mo, we wouldn't have made it back."

Guan Xia propped herself up and walked over to explain what had happened.

"..."

Guan Zhenyuan clenched his fists. Ultimately, the reason this happened was because of him.

His judgment was wrong.

"Go and heal your wounds quickly, so that they won't affect your future too much."

Guan Zhenyuan's words were against his conscience. For a martial artist who has lost his limbs, his future is already set in stone.

In other words, Guan Xia's limit in this life is just like this.

If he doesn't recover well, his cultivation level might even drop...

"Chen Mo, bring Chen Yi and me with you."

Guan Zhenyuan was anxious. The only way to find out what to do was to go to the Snow Maiden Queen.

Putting everything else aside, at least the person was brought back, and brought back completely intact.

Led by Guan Zhenyuan, Chen Mo and Laifu, carrying Chen Yi, entered the former site of the Harbin Military Headquarters.

Amidst the ruins, a white-haired, white-eyed woman is embracing a large block of ice, her face filled with love.

Seeing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but shudder.

Could she be a yandere...?

"Aunt Bing, do you have some time?"

Guan Zhenyuan steeled himself and walked over, asking in a low voice.

"Hmm?" The Snow Maiden King paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

"Xiaozhenyuan, what do you want with your Aunt Bing?"

The Snow Maiden was overjoyed to hear the title "Auntie Ice," and stood up to touch Guan Zhenyuan's white hair.

Like petting your own child...

"Aunt Bing, you can just call me Zhenyuan, no need to add 'little' before it..."

Guan Zhenyuan's face darkened; this Snow Maiden Queen already treated him like her son.

"Alright, alright, from now on Aunt Bing will call you Zhenyuan."

The Snow Maiden King nodded and turned to look in the direction where Chen Mo was.

Her smiling face instantly turned wary, and she grabbed the ice block that was sealing Guan Yun and retreated.

"Who are you!?"

"Aunt Bing, don't be nervous. He's one of us. His name is Chen Mo."

"She's of the same generation as Xia."

Guan Zhenyuan quickly offered an explanation, thus preventing the Snow Maiden King from being thoroughly humiliated by Laifu.

"We've come here to ask you something."

Seeing that the Snow Queen had calmed down, Chen Mo took a step forward.

"Could you please take a look at my sister and see if there's any way to unfreeze her?"

The Snow Maiden Queen looked Chen Mo up and down, feeling that the child before her was quite dangerous.

"Okay, let me see."
