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

Just as Chen Mo was studying how to transform the perfect steel body into the immaculate royal body, Zhu Long was sitting in the meditation room calming his mind.

"Are you... really ready?"

Dai Emei sat behind Zhu Long, her eyes filled with worry.

"Your physique and Junior Brother Chen's are completely different, and your talents are worlds apart."

"You've seen Junior Brother Chen's fighting style and recovery ability; your paths are different."

Blindly imitating him will only...

"Do you believe me?" Zhu Long opened his eyes, his aura becoming incredibly stable.

Since completing the tempering of his steel body, Zhu Long's cultivation level has increased rapidly, as if he were riding a rocket.

Now, he has completed the condensation of his pulse core and advanced to the tenth level of the Core Condensation Realm, greatly increasing his strength.

"Junior Brother Chen can indeed do those incredible things; it's something that's determined by talent."

"But how well I can actually achieve depends on my efforts."

"I've already seen the path that works, and it's too hard to give up or forget about it now."

"Besides, I've made thorough preparations."

Zhu Long smiled. He had prepared fifteen Rejuvenation Pills, squeezing every last bit of credit out of him.

The battles during this period allowed him to accumulate a large number of credits, 90% of which he used to exchange for pure energy ore, and the remaining 10% for resurrection pills.

After purifying and liquefying these pure energy ores, Zhu Long obtained a full three kilograms of energy liquid.

Compared to Chen Mo's monstrous physique, Zhu Long's physique was much weaker, and three catties of energy liquid was about enough for him.

Of course, this was just his own estimate, since he didn't know exactly how much energy liquid Chen Mo had used.

"I see."

Dai Emei had no intention of stopping her man from doing what he wanted to do; she would only fully support him.

"If I don't even have the strength to take the Rejuvenation Pill, then I'll leave this matter to you."

Zhu Long pushed the Rejuvenation Pill to Dai Emei, while he himself focused his attention on the three sealed containers in front of him.

Each container contained a full pound of energy liquid. Zhu Long took a deep breath and opened one of them.

The purplish-red energy liquid rippled, and the rich abyssal energy filled the entire quiet room.

If a martial artist of the middle or lower fourth rank were to enter the meditation room, they would likely instantly suffer from energy poisoning and fall into a coma.

"You've surpassed me by so much; now it's my turn to imitate you."

After making his final mental preparations, Zhu Long picked up the container filled with energy liquid and drank it all in one gulp.

The moment the energy liquid entered his mouth, Zhu Long felt as if his internal organs were being torn apart. His stomach, which had been tempered, simply could not withstand the violent energy of the energy liquid.

Zhu Long gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and forcibly suppressed the urge to scream.

The body's Qi and blood began to combine with the energy liquid, flowing along the meridians towards the muscles of the right arm that had been tempered.

"Is it... this painful?"

Zhu Long couldn't imagine how Chen Mo could endure such terrifying pain, but for now he could only forcefully suppress the pain and let the enormous energy surge into his right arm.

The muscles in his right arm began to swell irregularly, and a massive number of muscle cells were crushed by energy, transforming into the purest blood and energy.

Zhu Long's right arm was enveloped in purplish-red energy flames, and his skin emitted a sizzling burning sound.

"Rejuvenation Pill!" Zhu Long knew his body was about to give out, so he immediately shouted to Dai Emei behind him.

Dai Emei flicked her finger, and the pale green pill flew into Zhu Long's mouth.

The original Rejuvenation Pill was supposed to be held in the mouth and absorbed slowly, but Zhu Long's current condition does not allow him to absorb it slowly.

With a crunch, Zhu Long crushed the Rejuvenation Pill, and his injuries were rapidly absorbed.

As the injury gradually healed, the burning and stinging sensation in my right arm disappeared.

The flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only pale golden bones enveloped in raging flames of energy.

Without any hesitation, Zhu Long opened the remaining two sealed containers and swallowed all the remaining energy liquid.

From this moment on, Zhu Long was completely certain that Chen Mo's path was correct and could be replicated!

However, he needed too much energy, and three catties of energy liquid was not enough. His right arm, which had just entered a new state, was in danger of dissipating at any time.

"grass!"

Zhu Long's veins bulged all over his body, his blood vessels burst, and his blood completely stained the iron-gray ground red.

"The Rejuvenation Pill!"

Dai Emei threw three Rejuvenation Pills into Zhu Long's mouth in succession, but his collapsing body showed no signs of improvement.

"Keep going! Don't stop!"

"Give me all the remaining Rejuvenation Pills!"

Zhu Long was too weak to do anything else; all his attention was focused on channeling energy into his right arm.

"Zhu Long, you bastard! If you dare make me a widow, I'll piss in your ashes!"

Dai Emei's lips were deathly pale, and Zhu Long looked terrifying, like a porcelain doll about to shatter.

"Don't worry, you won't die!"

After swallowing twelve Rejuvenation Pills, Zhu Long's body finally stopped collapsing.

The energy flames on his right arm were becoming increasingly solid, but they were still far from reaching Chen Mo's level.

"Balance, that's what I need."

"To sacrifice a certain amount of vital energy..."

"Damn it! Zhu Long, what are you doing?!"

Suddenly, the door to the quiet room was kicked open, and Qiu Lin immediately saw Zhu Long kneeling in a pool of blood.

And his right arm, burning with flames of energy.

"Teacher, please help me!"

"I need the essence of a Grandmaster and a large amount of Qi and blood!"

The highest level of energy Zhu Long can currently access is the Grandmaster's Origin, and the only person he can turn to for help is Qiu Lin, who is filled with anxiety and anger.

"you....."

Just as Qiu Lin was about to curse, he saw Zhu Long's incredibly determined gaze.

"You're asking for it! You think you're that brat Chen Mo?!"

Qiu Lin was so angry that he was practically fuming. He clasped his hands together and threw a ball of energy composed of the Grandmaster's essence and blood to Zhu Long.

"I won't even collect your body if you die!"

"Thank you, teacher."

Swallowing that energy into his stomach completely turned his already shattered internal organs into a lump of rotten flesh.

But Zhu Long's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and the energy flames on his right arm became more and more solid.

"ah!!!!!"

With a roar from Zhu Long, the last bit of blood and energy in his body was drained and poured into his right arm.

With a loud bang, the surrounding blood was instantly evaporated, and the entire quiet room was filled with a strong smell of blood and white steam.

Qiu Lin swept away the steam with a large hand...

"Zhu Long?"

Seeing that Zhu Long was kneeling on the ground without moving, his right arm, which had been burning with energy flames, had completely extinguished and turned into a pale golden bone.

Just as Qiu Lin approached Zhu Long, Zhu Long, who had been completely lifeless, suddenly opened his eyes, and his right arm, which was now just bones, burst into a crimson flame of energy.

"Teacher...take me to the infirmary, my internal organs have all exploded."

Qiu Lin and Dai Emei looked closely and saw that Zhu Long had cracks all over his body, starting from his right shoulder.

The crack surged with dense energy, which eventually transformed into the energy flames on his right arm.

"You sons of bitches are really asking for trouble! You're a real handful!"

Qiu Lin complained, but still hoisted Zhu Long onto his shoulder and rushed towards the infirmary.

"So...this counts as a success?"

Dai Emei's legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. A few seconds later, she got up again and chased after Qiu Lin, who had left.

Her man is a genius!

They were actually able to replicate the thought process of that freakish genius, Junior Brother Chen!
