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

Chen Mo learned about Ma Wanglin's past from Shen Qiqing.

Her parents were once among the top combat forces in the entire Xishan Province, a pair of powerful level twelve Demon-Subduing Realm warriors.

Both husband and wife were skilled gun users; Ma Wanglin's "Blazing Fire" gun was their signature weapon.

However, the two disappeared during an exploration mission, leaving Ma Wanglin an orphan.

The place where the two disappeared was the Road of No Return in the Abyss Rift of Xishan Province. Shen Qiqing suspected that the two were injured by the Great Demon of the Abyss and fell into the Road of No Return.

In this situation, the two should have been considered dead, but out of consideration for Ma Wanglin's mental well-being, Shen Qiqing ultimately chose to classify them as missing.

Shen Qiqing himself didn't have much hope for the couple's survival, as that was a one-way road that even grandmasters couldn't return from.

Fortunately, with elders like Shen Qiqing and Kong Lingzhi around, Ma Wanglin wouldn't even have a chance to grow up.

"Later, as Xiaolin grew up, she also understood the meaning of the road of no return and personally built a cenotaph for her parents."

Shen Qiqing sighed, then grabbed Chen Mo's wrist.

"To me, Xiaolin is no different from my daughter."

Now that Shen Qiqing knew Chen Mo was Ma Wanglin's boyfriend, he started using Ma Wanglin's nickname.

"If you let her down, I'll risk my life to bite off a piece of your flesh."

Chen Mo gripped Shen Qiqing's wrist tightly and nodded forcefully.

"Don't worry, if I did something like that, you wouldn't even need to lift a finger; my mom could take me down."

"So, is there any chance that the two elders have survived?"

Shen Qiqing was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes, but the chances are extremely slim."

"Not to mention that so many years have passed, and the couple Xiao Ma and Xiao Wang have no chance of surviving."

"I understand." Chen Mo nodded. Even if the chance was one in a billion, he would try before giving up.

"Treat her well; she has a somewhat eccentric personality, so don't get angry with her."

"Xiaolin is a good girl; I watched her grow up."

With this final instruction, Shen Qiqing had completely accepted Chen Mo as her son-in-law.

Without saying a word, Chen Mo turned around and put his arm around Ma Wanglin's waist, who was standing not far away.

"Xiaolin, that's a nice nickname."

"I'll call you that from now on, Xiaolin?"

He gently pinched Ma Wanglin's cheek, and her usually poised face instantly turned red.

"Uncle Shen and the others are here, don't do anything rash!"

"How could that be? Even if you were to do something reckless, you should at least take a shower first..."

Gu Feng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw the two of them being so lovey-dovey.

That's so cheesy! Don't these two have any other forms of entertainment?

Under Shen Qiqing's arrangement, the group checked into the Xishan Provincial Guesthouse.

In the early hours of the morning, Chen Mo found Ma Wanglin sitting on the rooftop.

"What's wrong? I've been waiting for you for so long."

"I'm wondering... should I accept the reality that my parents are dead?"

Ma Wanglin buried her head in Chen Mo's arms, seemingly not wanting Chen Mo to see her crying.

"I know, and I am well aware, that with their strength, there is only one outcome if they fall into a path of no return."

"That means there's no trace of the body."

"But if it weren't for the belief that my parents are still alive, I might not have been able to wait for you."

Chen Mo gently stroked Ma Wanglin's smooth hair, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Don't worry, I'll look for them when I go to the middle abyss this time."

"But...you also need to be prepared to lose them completely."

As a typical straight man, Chen Mo really doesn't know how to comfort people.

Fortunately, Ma Wanglin wasn't a pretentious girl, and she nodded in agreement with Chen Mo.

"Then will you come with me to see them after dawn, okay?"

This was the first time Ma Wanglin had shown vulnerability in front of Chen Mo.

Even when Chen Mo picked her up before, she was only panting heavily.

Chen Mo also understood that when someone is willing to expose their vulnerable side to you, it means that he/she has given you his/her whole self.

"Of course! They are my father-in-law and mother-in-law. How could I, as their son-in-law, not pay my respects?"

"I think they'll definitely be very happy with me as their son-in-law..."

As he spoke, Chen Mo's hands began to wander.

Ma Wanglin's physique is quite unique; apart from her hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, she has no body hair at all.

It's completely smooth.

"Don't do it here, go back to your room, it'll be dawn soon..."

Ma Wanglin did not refuse Chen Mo, and Chen Mo also picked her up without hesitation.

Gu Feng was right after all. For couples in the throes of new love, the only entertainment is those trivial matters.

The grievances of a single person.

......

After lunch, Ma Wanglin took Chen Mo to the Martyrs' Cemetery.

Looking at the two graves in front of him, Chen Mo first performed a martial arts salute, then poured the prepared wine on the ground.

After paying their respects to the martial arts practitioners, Ma Wanglin led Chen Mo to squat down in front of the grave and begin cleaning.

The tombstones in the martyrs' cemetery are actually very clean; people come to water and clean them every day.

"Mom and Dad, I've found someone who's willing to accept me."

"His name is Chen Mo, and he's very good to me."

"He's amazing; he can help me become stronger."

"Even Uncle Shen is no match for him, so the two of you definitely can't beat him either."

"It's a pity he's a bit slow on the uptake; he never realized I liked him."

"But there's an advantage to it too; I don't have to worry about him being unfaithful anymore."

"The result was good; I finally managed to win him over."

"He is very gentle, both to me and to his friends and family."

"By the way, I've also made a lot of new friends. Although they're all a bit strange, I can trust them with complete confidence."

Ma Wanglin said these words with a smile, while Chen Mo stood aside and watched her quietly.

After Ma Wanglin finished speaking, Chen Mo stood in front of the two tombstones.

"Don't worry, I will treat Xiaolin well."

"I'll save some things for now, and tell you them to you in person when I rescue you from the middle abyss."

"Chen Mo..." Ma Wanglin's eyes were red, and she hugged Chen Mo tightly.

"Don't worry, I've got everything covered."

Chen Mo patted Ma Wanglin on the back to comfort her.

Ma Wanglin felt that she wasn't as strong as she thought, and the culprit was Chen Mo.

Yes, it's all his fault!

...

Two days later, Chen Mo finished reading what Song Bin had left on the USB drive.

This is a body-refining method without a name. The method is so cruel that even Chen Mo was horrified after reading it.

By completely destroying and reconstructing the tempered body, one will eventually obtain a powerful physical body that is as unified as the original primordial energy.

Song Bin himself became so powerful precisely because of this body-refining method.

Another benefit of reshaping your body is that it can significantly compensate for your shortcomings.

For Chen Mo, speed was his weakness, so this body-refining method came at just the right time.

"Where exactly did Uncle Song get transferred to?"

Chen Mo was certain of one thing: Song Bin's transfer this time was quite urgent, otherwise he would have left him with enough information.

Moreover, the place he's being transferred to is probably very dangerous, so Song Bin most likely doesn't want Chen Mo to go looking for him.

Therefore... there is a very high probability that Song Bin has been transferred to the middle level of the abyss!
