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

The deep abyss of Kunlun Mountain lies 6,450 kilometers to the north.

A colossal city of considerable size appeared on the other side of the horizon.

After a journey of half a month, the group finally saw the Earth Tiger City they had been looking forward to.

Earth Tiger City is not only larger in scale, but its aura is also several times stronger than that of Black Cloud City and Silver Wolf City.

However, it's understandable. All the combat power of the deepest abyss in Kunlun Mountain is concentrated in Dihu City. They have no other choice but to fight with their backs against the wall.

Commander Hong clearly understood the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy, but he couldn't resist the instigation of his pack of wolves.

They were all going crazy. After so many years of pent-up resentment and listening to the humiliating history of humanity, how could they possibly be willing to stop?

Moreover, they were 100% confident of winning; none of these wolf cubs were afraid of death.

The tedious and monotonous march of the past two weeks did not affect morale at all; on the contrary, it made them even more impatient.

"Commander, the energy fluctuations in Earth Tiger City are at least one hundred million. Are we really going to fight?"

The staff officer who had been following Commander Hong wiped his sweat; he broke out in a cold sweat after reading the exploration report of Kunlun Fortress.

"Hmph, why don't you fight?"

Geng Lianhu snorted angrily and slammed his hand on the table.

"They're nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs, a defeated army whose morale crumbled after just one round of artillery fire!"

"No rush, let's test the waters a few times first..."

Just as Commander Hong finished speaking, Chu Tianhua, whose feet were off the ground, floated in.

"Remember the shield module we salvaged from Silver Wolf City?"

Chu Tianhua looked exhausted. These days, besides controlling the behemoth that was Kunlun Fortress, he had been constantly studying that thing.

The shield generator of Silver Wolf City.

"Successfully cracked. We can use it now as long as we inject energy."

"The underlying principle is still unclear, and it will take some time of research before we can replicate and mass-produce it."

Upon hearing this, everyone was excited.

That shield caused them considerable trouble. If it weren't for Chen Mo, that tiger, single-handedly breaking through the situation, it's estimated that many warriors would have had to be sacrificed to take Silver Wolf City.

"So, do you still have any concerns?"

Geng Lianhu squinted and swept his gaze over the people in the command room, and they all shook their heads.

"The final battle in the deep abyss of Kunlun Mountain begins at dawn today!"

"To expand our territory and seal the wolf's lair, today is the day."

"Everyone, this is a battle that will go down in history. We must make sure we leave a lasting mark on it."

Commander Hong also stood up, his expression quite serious.

His status in the Great Xia Dynasty had almost reached its limit; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a regional king or marquis.

He had already lost the motivation to continue fighting, and he had already fulfilled his duty by guarding the deep abyss of Kunlun Mountain.

However, when the opportunity to make a name for himself in history was presented to him, his dormant heart began to beat again.

Not only him, but also more than a dozen masters from the Kunlun Mountain military headquarters.

The Grandmaster Academy practically monopolized the task of guarding the deepest abyss of Kunlun Mountain; they were too idle.

Today, the passion within them has been rekindled, and the memories of fighting alongside Commander Hong in the past have been awakened.

"I'm going to give the pre-battle pep talk, to warm up those kids."

"Count me in; your bragging isn't as good as mine."

"Let's do it together! I need to prepare properly too. This time, I'll definitely slay three or five Abyss Grandmasters and take their heads back as decorations!"

The military's masters were quite excited, completely disregarding the fact that they too would be killed.

They are not afraid of death; none of the warriors of the Great Xia Dynasty are afraid of death.

The deans of the Grandmaster Academy had serious expressions on their faces, because their students were also in the battle formation.

Especially for Feng Wanran, the dean of the women's college, how would she explain to their parents if any of the children under her care were to die?

Xue Le, the dean of the Boxing Academy, was expressionless as he touched the calluses on his fists.

He didn't expect to achieve much in this battle; he just wanted to tear Yun Qi's head off to avenge Zhu Hu.

Xue Le's plan was simple: to use Yun Qi's head as a sacrifice to Zhu Hu.

While you're at it, go and see Zhu Hu's parents and tell them that their great revenge has been achieved.

"Don't be impulsive in battle. We will give you the opportunity to fight Yunqi one-on-one."

Xu Qing saw through Xue Le's thoughts and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.

Thank you.

Xue Le clenched his fists tightly, but suddenly raised his head.

He seemed to sense something ethereal and intangible...

That feeling was fleeting, and Xue Le didn't pay it any mind.

"By the way, Xue Le, go back and find Chen Mo, and tell him not to act recklessly this time."

Geng Lianhu suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Xue Le.

"I know he acted too impulsively last time."

Xue Le nodded. Chen Mo's performance in Silver Wolf City was indeed outstanding, but he was far too reckless.

"No, I mean I want him to stop fighting a whole group by himself and leave some for us."

Geng Lianhu chuckled. After spending some time with Chen Mo, he was quite clear about Chen Mo's strength.

"?"

The deans of the Grandmaster Academy all cast puzzled glances at them.

Is this what you meant by "don't be aggressive"?

So you're afraid Chen Mo will steal all your opponents, right?

"Alright, alright, once the deep abyss of Kunlun Mountain is breached, our Grandmaster Academy will also face a new mission."

Geng Lianhu clapped his hands and changed the subject.

"Gentlemen, are you ready to embrace this new era?"

...

Unlike Geng Lianhu and the others' optimism, Chen Mo was frowning as he looked at his system panel.

"Damn it, I knew it wouldn't go this smoothly..."
